The world of film and television begins with Zhou Bingkun in the human world.
Chapter 31 Luo Shibin's Resentment
"Bingkun..."
After Zheng Juan and Zhou Bingkun were intimate for a while, Zheng Juan told Zhou Bingkun about Tu Zhiqiang asking a matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but frown.
"Juan'er, don't worry, I'll handle this." Zhou Bingkun patted Zheng Juan's hand, his face full of confidence.
Seeing Zhou Bingkun's confident and domineering demeanor, Zheng Juan relaxed as well.
"Bingkun, can you really handle this?" Zheng Juan still asked with a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, Tu Zhiqiang also lives in the Guangzi area. We're practically neighbors. We used to go to school together when we were kids, so we're on good terms! I'll talk to him and tell him about us, and he'll just give up. After all, he doesn't like women; he just wants a woman to make things easier for him, so it's not a big deal for him," Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile.
"I see!" Zheng Juan was relieved to hear Zhou Bingkun say that.
While Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan were talking about Tu Zhiqiang, Song, the matchmaker, had already returned to Tu Zhiqiang's house.
"Matchmaker Song, how did it go? Has Zheng Juan agreed yet?"
Before Tu Zhiqiang could even speak, Luo Shibin preemptively asked Matchmaker Song a question.
Matchmaker Song couldn't help but pause for a moment, and her gaze towards Luo Shibin became somewhat strange. Tu Zhiqiang, the person in question, hadn't even spoken yet, but he was already asking so hastily, as if it wasn't Tu Zhiqiang who wanted to get married, but Luo Shibin himself.
"Ahem, Matchmaker Song, has Zheng Juan agreed?" Tu Zhiqiang coughed lightly, reminding Luo Shibin not to be so impulsive, before asking Matchmaker Song.
"I'm sorry, it didn't work out this time. Zheng Juan already has a boyfriend!" Matchmaker Song said with a regretful look, then reluctantly took out five yuan from her pocket and placed it on the table.
This is the matchmaking fee that Tu Zhiqiang gave her, and this is only half of it. If it's successful, she'll get another five yuan.
Ten dollars in total! That's a huge sum.
You should know that if a match is arranged normally and it actually works out, the matchmaker's fee is usually only one or two yuan.
So when Song the matchmaker went to arrange the marriage, she really put in a lot of effort. Even after hearing that Zheng Juan already had a boyfriend, she tried to steal him away, which ultimately led to her being kicked out by Zheng Juan.
"You already have a boyfriend?" Tu Zhiqiang was somewhat taken aback, clearly not expecting this to be the case.
"No, you're saying Zheng Juan has a boyfriend? Who told you that? Zheng Juan isn't even eighteen yet, not old enough to get married, where would she get a boyfriend?" Luo Shibin couldn't help but speak up again, but his tone was very aggressive and fierce.
The matchmaker, Song, was startled, her face turning slightly pale. She muttered under her breath, "Although they're not of marriageable age yet, they are indeed engaged. If they're engaged, then they're definitely partners."
Although the legal marriage age is 20 for men and 18 for women according to national regulations, this age is not strictly observed in many places.
Many people feel that when they are of a certain age, they get engaged, have a wedding, but don't register their marriage, and then live together.
Some people are better off waiting until they reach a certain age to get their marriage certificate. However, many people may have been married for decades without ever obtaining a marriage certificate, and their records still show them as single in the government's files.
This situation is very common.
Therefore, Luo Shibin's statement was essentially meaningless.
"Alright, since Zheng Juan already has a boyfriend, then forget it." Tu Zhiqiang shook his head.
"How can we let it go! Zheng Juan is—" Luo Shibin retorted loudly, his emotions running high.
The matchmaker standing nearby looked at Luo Shibin and Tu Zhiqiang's expressions with increasing strangeness. She even wondered whether the person who asked her to act as matchmaker was Tu Zhiqiang or this Luo Shibin.
Seeing that Song the matchmaker's expression was getting increasingly strange, Shui Ziliu quickly stepped forward to stop Luo Shibin from continuing his madness: "Alright, alright, since Zheng Juan already has a boyfriend, then let it go. Binzi, don't get so agitated, getting agitated won't help." Shui Ziliu quickly interrupted to prevent Luo Shibin from letting something slip.
After all, most matchmakers are big mouths. If they accidentally let something slip and this matchmaker Song overheard it, who knows what rumors would spread throughout Jichun City.
Seeing Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang like this, Luo Shibin could only shut his mouth, but he was still very unwilling.
Before he was exposed, he didn't have such strong thoughts. After all, he was just there to make a good impression on Tu Zhiqiang's wedding. If Luo Shibin's feelings for Zheng Juan hadn't been exposed, Tu Zhiqiang would have changed his choice. After all, it was Tu Zhiqiang who was getting married, so he couldn't say much.
Now, his interest in Zheng Juan has been exposed by Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang, but the two of them indulge him and even promised to give Zheng Juan to him after marriage.
So, in Luo Shibin's view, Tu Zhiqiang marrying Zheng Juan was the same as him marrying Zheng Juan; it was a major life event for him, which is why Luo Shibin couldn't help but be so excited.
Since the affair didn't work out and Zheng Juan got a boyfriend, it was tantamount to ruining Luo Shibin's marriage, at least in Luo Shibin's eyes, which is why he was so agitated.
"Matchmaker Song, since Zheng Juan already has a boyfriend, then let's just forget about it," Tu Zhiqiang said to Matchmaker Song.
Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Song nodded: "Indeed, it's such a pity. However, I have quite a few girls under my wing, whose conditions are much better than Zheng Juan's. Would you like to choose again?"
Matchmaker Song was still reluctant to lose this business, after all, ten yuan was no small sum.
"No need for now. I'll definitely come back to you when I have other goals." Tu Zhiqiang refused directly.
"That--"
"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll contact you again if we need anything in the future." Shui Ziliu began to shoo away the matchmaker, Song.
After the matchmaker Song was driven away, only Tu Zhiqiang and his two brothers remained.
"Binzi, why don't we just let it go? Since Zheng Juan has a boyfriend, there's nothing we can do to interfere," Tu Zhiqiang comforted Luo Shibin.
"Forget it? How can you just let it go like that? This is the first time I've ever been attracted to a woman." Luo Shibin roared, his eyes wide.
"Come on, you lost your virginity when you were fourteen. You've had your fair share of fun over the years, and this is the first time you've ever been attracted to a woman?" Shui Ziliu rolled his eyes from the side.
When Tu Zhiqiang first heard Luo Shibin say that this was the first time he had ever been attracted to a woman, he thought it would be too unfair to his brother to give up. However, what Shui Ziliu said next brought Tu Zhiqiang back to his senses. Luo Shibin was no innocent virgin; he had been with countless women. For him to say that he had found true love was simply a joke.
