Chapter 94 Not a Boyfriend, But a Husband

When going out for breakfast, Shi Huai glanced at the garbage in Zhou Jibai's hand.

"Didn't we just change the garbage bag yesterday? Why did you throw it away?"

Zhou Jibai looked a little uncomfortable: "...Garbage can't be left overnight."

"Did you throw garbage into the trash can yesterday?" Shi Huai asked with his head tilted.

She remembered that she didn't throw it away.

Seeing that Shi Huai was still asking, Zhou Jibai certainly couldn't tell Shi Huai that he had a nosebleed. He raised his left eyebrow for a moment and said, "I wiped my hand with a paper last night."

Shi Huai's face flushed as he pushed Zhou Jibai away and ran out of the bedroom before Zhou Jibai.

"Slow down." Zhou Jibai chuckled.

Grandma didn't make breakfast today. She went to participate in the senior square dance competition. She left early in the morning.

There were two twenty-dollar bills on the table, so the young couple could go to the street to buy breakfast.

Shi Huai couldn't help but think of when he was studying in Guangnan. Sometimes his grandmother would go out early and not make breakfast, so she would put a twenty-yuan note under the bowl for him to buy breakfast.

She walked over, took out two twenty-yuan bills, and waved them in front of Zhou Jibai with a smug look on her face: "Classmate Zhou, I'll take you to eat the best Shanghu Shengjianbao in Guangnan."

The bright and lively smile made Zhou Jibai think of the sixteen-year-old Shi Huai.

"Okay, Shi-san."

Shi Huai held Zhou Jibai's hand and strolled along the streets of the old city. The streets were well greened, with sycamore trees planted along the asphalt roads.

The breakfast shop that Shi Huai took Zhou Jibai to eat at was the one she had eaten at since she was a child until high school, and she also ate there every day when she came back from college during the holidays.

The owner of this store can be said to have watched her grow up.

When the proprietress saw Shi Huai coming, she said in surprise: "Oh, Zhizhi is back!"

When he heard that Zhizhi was back, the boss who was busy working nearby came over and said, "Oh my, the most beautiful lady in the whole town is back."

The boss and his wife both love to tease, and they always make Shi Huai feel embarrassed.

They were sharp-eyed and noticed the handsome guy standing next to Shi Huai at a glance. The two of them were holding hands, looking very close and sweet.

"Are you friends?"

Zhou Jibai politely nodded to the two people in front of him.

Shi Huai leaned his head on Zhou Jibai's shoulder and said, "Not a boyfriend, but a husband."

The news of the little girl's marriage stunned the couple, and it felt unreal.

The little girl I watched grow up actually got married quietly!?

"That's so mean. You got married but didn't even remember to bring us some wedding candy to share our good fortune."

Shi Huai chuckled: "It happened suddenly. I will buy you lots of wedding candy when I come back next time."

"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting!"

The lady boss patted her husband's big bald head and said, "Okay, don't you see Zhizhi and her handsome husband are still waiting for their order? Stop chatting."

"Zhizhi, it's still the same as before."

"Uh-huh!"

Shi Huai looked up at Zhou Jibai again: "What are you eating?"

"Same as you."

The boss and his wife said in unison: "Okay!"

Shi Huai eats all sweet things, such as custard buns, soy milk, egg yolk steamed buns, and even pan-fried buns are sweet.

Zhou Jibai's taste was completely different from hers, leaning towards heavier flavors. Looking at the sweet and indulgent breakfast, Zhou Jibai silently took the small plate and filled it with vinegar and chili peppers.

The young couple sat at a small table under the sycamore tree and had breakfast.

I was stunned when I saw Zhou Jibai dipped his custard buns in chili vinegar.

On second thought, Shi Huai vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Zhou Jibai knew exactly what he liked and disliked. But aside from not liking spicy food and cilantro, he didn't seem particularly picky around him.

However, she knew nothing about Zhou Jibai's preferences. It was only today that she realized that Zhou Jibai was a person who loved spicy food.

Shi Huai chewed the custard bun slowly and asked, "How strange."

Zhou Jibai: "Hmm?"

"How do you know what I like to eat and what I don't like to eat? I don't even know yours."

Zhou Jibai put down his chopsticks: "I'm not picky about food, you don't need to remember my likes and dislikes."

"She's pretty easy to feed." Shi Huai took another sip of soy milk and said, "Then how do you know what I like to eat?"

Zhou Jibai was motionless for a moment. He looked up at the large yellowed sycamore leaves above his head, as if he was making some important decision.

"Actually, I am—"

"Zhizhi!"

Suddenly a shout was heard, interrupting what Zhou Jibai was about to say.

The familiar voice made Shi Huai turn around immediately. When his grandfather appeared in his sight, Shi Huai smiled in surprise and said, "Grandpa!!"

Grandpa looked around again and made sure that Grandma Shihuai was not there before he went forward to chat with his granddaughter.

The house where my grandfather lives now is in the opposite direction of Shihuai’s grandmother’s house. Although they are still in the same city, one is at the southernmost end and the other is at the northernmost end.

"Why are you here?"

"Your grandma is going to participate in a square dance competition today, so I'm going to take a look on the way there."

As he spoke, grandpa's long eyes suddenly narrowed and fell on Zhou Jibai behind Shi Huai.

“Tsk.”
