The spare computer was in a corner of the internet cafe. Jiang Xia took the 5 yuan that Chen Yao returned, said "Thanks," and then took his wife's hand and walked straight over.

"Why did you come with me? There's only one computer. Go keep your old classmate company, okay?" Lin Yanwan took a small sip of grapefruit juice and suddenly found it very sour.

Jiang Xia said with a serious expression, "Comrade Lin Yanwan, please watch your words. 'Accompanying' means accompanying you. Can you call others 'accompanying'?"

"What's that called?"

He was taken aback by her question, but his quick mind sensed a distinct hint of jealousy in her tone.

"No, why would I go and spend time with someone else? She works here for a living, while I'm online for entertainment. Besides, the only person who could make me lose my appetite and dream about you is you." Jiang Xia gently pinched her smooth cheek.

This proud and aloof wife of mine used to be jealous of her six-year-old sister, and now she's jealous of her classmate Chen Yao. Looks like I shouldn't call her "baby" anymore; "Vinegar" is definitely more appropriate.

If this matter isn't explained clearly immediately, who knows what kind of wild thoughts she'll have.

Lin Yanwan blushed and slapped his dog paw away: "Alright, alright, I didn't say anything. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, that's fine too. I'll just listen to some music by myself."

As she spoke, she put on her headphones and then turned on the Handsome Dog Music Box.

"You must be jealous!" Jiang Xia teased her with a wink.

"I didn't!"

"Knowing you completely, the way you sounded like you were jealous!"

"..."

Lin Yanwan remained silent. He had already said everything; what else could she say? Should she continue to be stubborn? No one was as stubborn as him; even if someone kept their mouth shut, it could be pried open.

"Baby, do you care about me that much?" Jiang Xia leaned closer, almost touching her face, and whispered, "You know I've only ever loved you in both my lives, how can you doubt my feelings for you?"

Her ears were tickled by his warm, moist breath, so she took off her headphones, blushed, and pushed him away with difficulty: "That's enough... Can't you be a little more reserved in public?"

If I had known he would bombard me with a bunch of questions, I should have been much more magnanimous and pretended I hadn't seen anything.

"Okay, but you have to kiss me first."

"Why?!"

"You doubted me and pushed me towards other girls. I'm heartbroken and need a kiss to soothe my wounded heart," Jiang Xia said, feeling wronged.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been jealous, I shouldn't have doubted you, and I shouldn't have let you go with other girls. It's all my fault."

"Mmm, now all that's missing is a kiss."

"..."

Lin Yanwan's lips twitched speechlessly. What else could this guy be thinking about besides kissing? After hesitating for two or three seconds, she quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Upon seeing this, the guy next to him who was surfing the internet was furious. Damn it, what bad luck! I can't even get my face ripped off just by surfing the internet, can I?

Can't these lovey-dovey couples at least book a private room to be all lovey-dovey? They're seriously affecting other people's gaming experience!

“Baby, why don’t you move over a bit? I’ll squeeze in with you.” Jiang Xia nuzzled her arm.

Lin Yanwan squeezed to the side, only to find that he could barely fit half of his buttocks in.

"No, this sofa chair is too small; it can only seat one person."

"Then you get up, I'll sit in the chair, and you sit on my lap, so we can fit together perfectly!"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard the guy next to him jump up and shout towards the counter, "Manager, I want to log off!"

The two looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with this guy all of a sudden, why he was so angry.

"Hey, hurry up and go. Your machine's out. Stop thinking about me sitting on your lap." Lin Yanwan glanced at him, knowing exactly what he was up to—he just liked being pressed down on by her round buttocks.

Jiang Xia, feeling dejected, took the five yuan he had just received and quickly walked to the bar.

"Hey old classmate, can you let me use that computer next to my wife for two hours?"

"Wow, you're moving fast. You're already calling me 'wife'?" Chen Yao joked for a moment, then put the money in the drawer, fiddled with the machine for a bit, and said, "Two hours, right? It's done. Go ahead."

"By the way, can you and your wife be a little more mindful of your image? There are cameras everywhere here, they can see everything you do. That guy probably couldn't stand your public display of affection, that's why he was cursing and swearing all the way home," she said casually.

"Huh? Definitely, definitely."

Jiang Xia choked awkwardly. How could he have forgotten about the camera? The main problem was that it was being broadcast live in front of his old classmate's desk, which felt really strange.

The two didn't say much. He jogged back, and sure enough, the locked computer was already on.

"So fast? I thought you'd have a long and enthusiastic chat with her," Lin Yanwan said casually.

"What can I say to her? She's my old deskmate, the one next to my wife's computer. Turn it on, two hours, and it's done."

My wife?

A surge of joy welled up inside her, but she feigned ignorance, asking, "Huh? What did you just say?"

"Just turn it on, two hours, and it's done?"

"The sentence before that!"

"Hmm... my old deskmate?"

"No! The sentence after this one!"

"Turn it on?"

"No, no!"

"Huh? Did I forget something? It's just that my old deskmate, turn on the computer, two hours, done, that's it."

"Hmph, if you can't remember, then forget it."

She snorted twice, unable to contain her anger any longer, grabbed the lemon tea in front of Jiang Xia, and took a big gulp, only to spit it out from the sourness.

"Didn't you think lemon tea was bad? Why are you drinking so much?" he said with a smile.

Lin Yanwan said angrily, "I'll drink, I'll drink, I'll drink it all, so you can look at me and swallow your saliva, that won't satisfy you, I'll make you drool!"

As she said this, she took another big breath.

Jiang Xia chuckled to himself. This proud and silly wife of his was just so adorable.

"I was just saying, old classmate, the machine next to my wife..." He smiled and winked.

"Huh?!"

Lin Yanwan opened her mouth and spat out the straw, then looked up at Jiang Xia with that utterly despicable smile.

This guy was definitely just teasing her!

"You did that on purpose, didn't you!" She raised her hand to hit him, blushing.

"I just want to see you get jealous." Jiang Xia gently pulled her hand and held it. "Baby, you used to not care about these nicknames. We've been dating for four years, and we've only shown affection on social media a few times. Why are you so concerned about how I address you in front of other girls now?"

Lin Yanwan was stunned. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have become more stingy after being reborn.

Did she like Jiang Xia more?

"If you like, next time in front of Mom, I'll call you my wife too," he chuckled.

"Can't!"

She blushed slightly and handed over her grapefruit juice: "This is for you."

"Hmm? You can drink it."

"I've finished yours, but mine tastes a little better, so you can have it."
