As far as the cultural customs of Baimei County are concerned, the concept of imported products, "engagement" is to some extent the same as "recognizing relatives".

To recognize relatives, you need to prepare a banquet, and the main relatives and friends of both sides must attend together to understand the composition of each other's relatives.

However, in fact, "recognizing relatives" actually has another effect. Occasionally, there will be a process of recognizing relatives and finding that the two parties are relatives with close blood ties. In real life, there is an embarrassing situation where you find that your girlfriend is her cousin after recognizing relatives.

Since Su Mo and Xia Yili planned to have a wedding date next spring, there is still more than half a year left to get married, the relatives who came back this time were simply meeting each other for dinner. It was not clear that this was the meaning of "engagement banquet", because Yili wanted to hold an engagement banquet in the autumn of Wenhan City, and the wedding date must be set at that time, and the dowry and dowry were also prepared at that time, and then you can take wedding photos.

The day before the marriage celebration banquet, Xia Yili asked Su Mo to go out for a walk and chat about tomorrow.

"My relatives are about 30, where are you?"

"My mother mainly has more relatives, there are only a dozen people in total... Didn't you just invite your parents' brothers and sisters?"

"But there are so many people in my family... Then I have to gather four or five tables at that time."

Xia Yili held Su Mo's arm and said, "What do you think I'll be better off tomorrow? That white blue and white porcelain cheongsam? Or the big red dress?"

"My relatives should not have to wear it so formally. The cheongsam will look a bit like a welcome lady. If you wear the dress, it feels a bit waste to wear in these hotels in Baimei County. Well..."

Seeing that Xia Yili was staring at her, Su Mo quickly changed her words, "Sorry... I forgot to see my relatives... Then wear that off-white dress, it will feel very friendly and will not make people feel distance."

"Actually... I have seen all your relatives, and everyone likes me very much, and that's not a problem."

"Yes, it's not a problem..."

"The problem is Amo, you are yourself."

"I... myself?"

"Come."

Xia Yili pulled Su Mo to sit down on the bench beside him, holding Su Mo's cheek, looked at his eyes and said, "I feel like you're a little out of your mind these two days... Are you worried about anything?"

"Um……"

Su Mo smiled and said, "If you don't have any, will you beat me to death?"

"No." Xia Yili shook her head and said, "I will gently and patiently guide you to express your thoughts slowly, and then tell me that I will comfort you slowly and help you get out of the haze..."

"Why are you suddenly so gentle to me?"

Su Mo said in surprise, "This is not like your style."

"There is no style or not... the role of the role is different, right? I used to be your crazy girl, but now I want to play your fiancée, and your wife will naturally be gentler."

"What you said... I'm quite psychologically stressed."

"It is normal to be stressed. After all, whether you are beaten to death depends on what you are worried about."

Xia Yili gently pinched Su Mo's face, "But, I can guess it. The more you reach this point, the more you miss that person, right?"

Su Mo did not nod, but took a deep breath, then supported his smile and said warmly, "What is 'that person'... Isn't that person' you, Yili."

"The name of Yili in this pun is really..."

Xia Yili also sighed, then held her head up and looked at Su Mo's forehead with her eyes in contact with each other.

"Do you know, Amo. Actually, I have been trying to do one thing before. That is...to completely replace Yili's position in your heart in the previous life."

"Actually, I'm not forcing you to forget her. I just hope that when I and I jumped into the river in my previous life, you can save me first, instead of saving her."

Xia Yili suddenly paused when she said this, and a charming smile appeared on her fair face, "When thinking about it now, this idea is actually very childish."

"Because at that time, you will definitely save me."

"Then die with her."

"That's the person you are."

"If you weren't like this, you wouldn't have been reborn in this world, nor would you have met Yue Ling and Xiaorou."

"Don't say that, Yili..."

Su Mo also laughed, "I am different now than before. Even if Yili appeared in front of me in her previous life, I would never look back and hug her..."

"What I use is impossible but not... 'Impossible' is more like a feeling that you have to make a certain choice due to external or other interference."

"When did you become so good at Chinese? You..."

Su Mo gently kissed Yili's forehead, "Don't think so much. Since I'm already planning to be with you, my body and mind must belong to you."

“Absolutely…absolute.”

"Well...I know."

"So, do you want to know, what am I thinking now?"

Xia Yili stood up and jumped and leaned towards Su Mo's arms. Su Mo picked her up by the waist, gently hugged her, letting her lean into her arms, gently rub her hair.

"Well...I want to know-"

Xia Yili leaned quietly in Su Mo's arms and did not immediately express her thoughts.

Then, she jumped out of Su Mo's arms, looked at Su Mo with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile, "Forget it, forget it...even if she said it... it won't solve the problem, right?"

She had noticed that her voice was choked, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't continue to say it.

Then, her eyes opened, and her tears like pear blossoms and rain made Su Mo stand up involuntarily, strode forward, and hug her tightly.

She was about to say something, but realized that Su Mo's body was trembling.

"Don't do this...Yili."

"Don't do this..."

"Um……"

Xia Yili nodded with a smile, patted Su Mo's back gently, and comforted him gently, "We won't talk about this anymore... Let's talk about recognizing relatives tomorrow."

Su Mo likes Yao Yili, and Yao Yili also likes Su Mo.

This relationship is undoubtedly true.

but.

As time settles, this relationship will only become heavier.

The same is true for Yue Ling and Xiao Rou.

Because they can like Su Mo and love Su Mo without any burden.

However, Su Mo had no choice.

The bond of deep love comes from Yili, but he cannot get rid of the shackles that come with it.

If Su Mo's marriage and the three of them never receive personal recognition and blessings from Yili in his previous life, it can only be considered Su Mo's self-touching and self-comfort from beginning to end.

Even if Yili really told Yue Ling what she said in her previous life, but-

If it weren't for what she said to Su Mo in person.

It's not her personal blessing to Su Mo-

Then Su Mo and they will never be able to obtain true happiness.

At this moment, Xia Yili and Su Mo finally realized this.
