The lovers, the Huang sisters, and Hu Qingge walked into the Inn. The waiter met them at the door.
Waiter, "Welcome to our inn. Are the guests dining or staying?" As the group sat down at the table.
Zhao Renshu said, "We want to reserve three rooms."
Waiter, "I'm sorry, we only have two rooms left. One big room, one bed and one day bed. The other room is a smaller room with one bed."
Zhao Renshu, "We will take it. Please get us extra blankets and pillows for the bigger room." He looked at the waiter and ordered all the meat dishes. Then he looked at the Huang sisters and Hu Qingge. "The three of you don't mind sharing a bedroom, do you?"
Huang Hongse said, "Let's go to another inn."
Waiter, "Miss, you will not find any available rooms in other inn. You are lucky, we are located further away. Those inns that are close to the centers of the town are booked by visitors already. It is the annual Lantern Festival."
Zhao Renshu said, "We stay here. If the three of you want to find a place elsewhere." He smiled and said, "You're welcome." He hoped that the three ladies would decide to leave.
Huang Yueliang said, "We can stay in the same room with Miss Hu tonight."
Zhao Renshu said, "You two can take the bed, and Qingge can take the day bed. Sleeping situation problem solved."
Huang Hongse asked, "Where are you sleeping?"
Zhao Renshu replied, "With them."
Huang Hongse was angry at Zhao Renshu's respond. Her Teeth bit tightly behind her lips and she said angrily, "With them? Are you crazy?"
Zhao Renshu teased Huang Hongse, "Why? Do you want me to sleep with you?" He winked at her.
Huang Hongse's face was red, while Hu Qingge's face was darken.
Huang Hongse said coldly, "Pervert."
Zhao Renshu laughed then said, "Ha...ha...ha...I have told you many times that my pervert mind is not toward you, so you can rest assured." He raised his brows and smiled at her.
When the waiter put the food on the table, the rain poured down outside. Zhao Renshu suggested, "Last time we came here, we didn't have a chance to enjoy this festival. Should we walk around and play this year?" He looked at Ping'an.
Ping'an said, "To be honest, I have never been out on the night of Lantern Festival."
Zhao Renshu, "What?"
Ping'an, "It is always busy, and I have no one to go with me. Taking grandmother out that day made her very sad."
Zhao Renshu smiled and said, "Then this year is your lucky year, dear." He pinched her right check with his right hand. "I will take you out, we can enjoy all the food."
Huang Hongse couldn't stand Zhao Renshu's behavior anymore. Her confusion was intertwined with the anger deep in her heart. She slammed the teacup on the table.
Huang Yueliang raised her voiced, "Hongse, behave yourself."
Huang Hongse said madly, "Renshu, you need to behave yourself." She looked at Guo Baiyu. "You... on the other hand, why are you letting your brother flirt with your wife?"
Guo Baiyu, "What do you mean?"
Huang Hongse said, "Let him sleep in the same room as you. He is too close to your wife."
Guo Baiyu replied, "This is not the first time we share the same room."
Huang Hongse said angrily, "Why don't you care that another man, especially your brother is flirting with your wife? Even outsiders like me are embarrassed by his behavior."
Guo Baiyu looked at Gou Zhao Renshu and said, "You tell us you have to make it clear to her."
Zhao Renshu smashed the chopsticks on the table. He raised his voice, "That is it... Huang Hongse." He looked at Huang Hongse and Hu Qingge. "Let's make it clear today. Since we are all here today. Speak out, What confusion is there lingers in both of your minds? I am tired of this cat and mouse game. I want to clarify this once and for all."
The Huang sisters and Hu Qingge stopped eating and both stared at Zhao Renshu.
Zhao Renshu said, "Ping'an is my wife, and she is also Baiyu's wife. We have been together for two and a half years. Hongse and Qingge, I cannot be more than a friend or a brother to the two of you. If you want to be our friends, then we will continue to be friends, but if you want to be more friends, then I am burning the bridge between us. The only woman I will love and will continue to love is only Ping'an."
Guo Baiyu said, "Miss Huang, when Renshu told you about us, you might not take it seriously, because you might think that Renshu u1sed this as an excuse to avoid you. Ping'an is our wife, and we are her husbands."
Zhao Renshu added to Guo Baiyu statement, "That won't change this life or the next life."
The three women sitting at the dining table were shocked to learn the news.
Huang Hongse, "But he is your brother?"
Zhao Renshu, "Marrying Ping'an makes us brothers. In other words, she is not my sister-in-law, but she my wife."
Huang Yueliang, "Childe Guozhao people will talk."
Guo Baiyu said, "It's their mouths, we can't stop it."
Zhao Renshu said, "I do not wish to address this problem ever again." He turned to Hu Qingge. "I'm sorry, I have kissed you and gave you hope unknowingly." He turned to Huang Hongse. "The same goes to you too. I was trying to save your life. I accidentally kissed you and apologized for my actions. This may affect your understanding of the wrong idea." He looked at the three speechless women. "Do you have any other questions? If not, then eat." He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
Hu Qingge asked sadly, "You would rather live with another man with a wife than with me in a border town?"
Zhao Renshu said, "Yes, that won't change." He looked at Hu Qingge. "I tell you two now because I don't want to give anyone false hope."
Huang Hongse, "That doesn't explain why you want to be with her. Did you do this out of sympathy?"
Zhao Renshu, "No."
Ping'an, "Renshu, this is not going anywhere. How about you stop?"
Zhao Renshu said madly, "Why are it difficult for you two to accept the fact that I love Ping'an?"
Ping'an looked at the two women and she said with confidence, "Miss Huang and Miss Hu. I must be greedy in this life time. I will not let others have them. Either Renshu or Baiyu, they don't need to prove to anyone how much we love each other. Our loves for one another can be traced back to five hundred years ago. People's gossip will not separate us, because heaven itself cannot even separate us. We promised with our blood, and cursed ourselves. As long as Nuwa still love the human race, there is still water flow to the sea, and mountain with full of green trees. We will be with each other."
Usually, Ping'an does not talk to other people or express her feelings to anyone. She is a quiet person who keeps everything to herself. The two men looked at her and smiled at each other impressed by her words. Ping'an continued, "If you are looking for a relationship, please look elsewhere. If you are looking for friendship, we will welcome you with open arms. I gave them my heart and they gave me theirs. Love cannot be forced because love is love and there is nothing. more."
Guo Baiyu held her left hand and he said, "Love is love and there is nothing more to it."
Zhao Renshu smiled and said, "There, you heard our wife's wonderful speech." Zhao Renshu gently squeezed Ping'an's right cheek. "I didn't know you can be so impressive with words."
Hu Qingge looked at Zhao Renshu and said, "You once agreed that if there is no Ping'an, you will fall in love with me."
Zhao Renshu said, "If she dies, I will wait at her grave until I die, and never leave her side." He looked directly at Hu Qingge. "There may be thousands of women more beautiful than Ping'an, but there is only one Ping'an in this world."
