The reason I decided to marry Huo Yichang was actually quite deliberate.
After sleeping for so long, Su Wan woke up with her brain crammed full of too many memories from Ancient Earth, making her struggle a bit with the time difference.
Moreover, her body had only just recovered, and she still felt somewhat weak.
In these two years, she had mostly stayed inside the Su Family home and seldom stepped out, except for occasionally going online.
Since waking up, she hadn't been in contact with many non-related males.
Not to mention, Su Wan and Huo Yichang had been engaged by their grandfathers since they were children.
A match of equal social status, they were also childhood friends, and this year they were both admitted to the medical department of Empire Military College.
Getting married seemed like a natural progression.
In the Federal Empire, there was a strict rule that every ordinary woman must have a legal spouse by the age of twenty.
If not, at the stroke of midnight on their 20th birthday, the Main System would assign them a husband as a 'birthday gift.'
The uncertainty of a random assignment was too great—who knew what kind of husband one might get.
To Su Wan, it seemed better to marry the well-known Huo Yichang than to take her chances with a stranger.
But who could have expected that at this critical moment, Su Man would resort to tricks to lure Huo Yichang away, making it impossible for him to marry Su Wan!
Su Wan sighed. If only she had known Su Man coveted Huo Yichang, and that Huo Yichang had thoughts about Su Man, they should have spoken up.
It wasn't as if she couldn't marry anyone but Huo Yichang.
But now, with just a few hours left until midnight, where could she find a suitable man to marry?
Was she to just wait for the Main System to make the decision?
Su Wan refused to accept this, holding up her skirt as she walked down the long corridor, when suddenly something fluffy zipped across her field of vision.
She trotted back in her ten-centimeter heels.
Then, Su Wan saw a pair of wet, large eyes!
The boy was extremely handsome, with delicate and sculpted features, and skin so pale that his pores were nearly invisible.
His silver-grey hair was a bit messy, and a pair of ears of the same color trembled slightly.
Su Wan's heart trembled along with them.
So cute, she could bleed cuteness! She really wanted to pet him!
Suddenly, she felt something ticklish on the top of her foot, and looking down, she saw a fluffy, silvery-grey, quite bushy tail carefully sweeping over the back of her foot.
Su Wan asked, "Who are you?"
She would have certainly remembered such a handsome Beastman if she had seen him before.
But having missed five years and then almost staying in for another two upon awakening, Su Wan didn't have many chances to meet non-related males.
The big boy pursed his thin lips and said, "I'm called Ajue."
Still a nickname.
Although every aspect of this big boy aligned with her interests, Su Wan's current priority was to find a man to act as the groom.
She had to deal with the problem at hand first.
Su Wan, lifting her skirt, was about to leave, but her calf got hooked by the bushy tail.
She looked up to see the young man with teary eyes asking, "Where are you going?"
Because he was so good-looking and adorable, Su Wan had extra patience.
She said, "Sister is in a hurry; she needs to find a man to marry. I'll come back for you later, okay?"
"No, no good," the big boy said, biting his lip in distress. His dark eyes grew misty, but his fluffy tail firmly clung to Su Wan's ankle. "Could you not leave, please?"
Su Wan clutched at her chest, her little heart aching.
Who could bear to go?
Helplessly, half-joking yet half-serious, she said, "Good boy, sister really is in a rush right now and needs to find a groom to marry. If only you were over twenty, then you could help sister out."
Ajue's wet deer eyes suddenly widened.
