Chapter 49 My Wife

As the words fell, the air froze for a moment.

Xie Jingmo looked at her, his pupils shrinking slightly: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yu Zhiwan raised her chin and gestured towards a nearby area. "Just now I saw a few boys wearing basketball uniforms over there, and it reminded me of when I was in high school, I also saw you playing on the basketball court."

Hearing this, Xie Jingmo raised his eyebrows with interest: "When?"

"I can't remember the details." Yu Zhiwan tilted her head and recalled, "I passed by the basketball court that day and saw a lot of people gathered around it. It seemed like you were playing a game with another class, so I stopped and watched for a while."

As she spoke, Yu Zhiwan's eyes lit up slightly, shimmering with a shimmering light: "I was standing on the periphery. Once, after you scored a goal, you looked over at us with a smile."

The boy was wearing a bright red jersey, his black hair was dancing in the wind, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, he looked unruly and flamboyant, full of vigor and vitality.

Yu Zhiwan couldn't remember the specific details of the incident, but the scene of him looking over with a smile left a very deep impression on him.

"Then someone nearby cheered. I guess you were looking at the girl you like. Isn't there a saying that after scoring a goal, the first person you look at is the girl you like?"

Yu Zhiwan gestured with her hands and described it vividly: "You don't know, everyone was turning their heads around to look for the girl you liked."

Xie Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly and said lazily, "Oh."

It turned out to be that time, he had an impression of it.

Yu Zhiwan was so excited that she didn't even bother to eat. Her black and white eyes looked at Xie Jingmo, "I looked around at that time, but I couldn't find it."

Xie Jingmo was so angry that he let out a laugh from his chest: "You're looking around too?"

Yu Zhiwan nodded, very curious: "So, did you have a crush on a girl at that time?"

Xie Jingmo smiled faintly: "I have a crush on a blind man."

Yu Zhiwan was stunned, then slowly opened her mouth. Her skin was milky white, and her lips were cherry red. "Ah? You're blind?"

But she remembered that there were no blind people in the school at that time.

Why does he have a crush on a blind man?

Yu Zhiwan reacted, her cheeks puffed up, and she glanced at him angrily: "You're teasing me again."

But looking at him, I guess he really had a crush on a girl at that time.

Very unexpected.

Even a gifted child like Xie Jingmo actually has a secret crush.

Perhaps, the heartbeat during adolescence is just so cautious.

Yu Zhiwan picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, thinking about the girl he had a crush on. He was a little absent-minded. The food that he had thought was delicious just now was no longer in the mood to savor it carefully. He even accidentally picked up a piece of ginger and only realized it after he put it in his mouth.

The taste was spicy, her face wrinkled up, and she quickly spit it out with a tissue.

Xie Jingmo handed the drink he had just bought to her: "Does your mouth feel uncomfortable? Take a sip to relieve the discomfort."

Yu Zhiwan bit the straw and took a big gulp. Her fair cheeks puffed up slightly and she raised her crow-feather-like eyelashes to look at the man.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you... still secretly in love with him?"

Xie Jingmo narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up: "If I say I still have a crush on you, will you stay away from me and avoid suspicion with me, or will you divorce me?"

"Madam, you can rest assured. I am a man of integrity. The only person of the opposite sex around me from beginning to end is you."

"So, Madam, you don't need to avoid me, and you don't need to think about divorce in advance."

"Oh." Yu Zhiwan held the drink cup and gulped down two more sips. Suddenly, he realized that the drink was quite sweet.

…

The two finished their meal and walked out of the cafeteria.

After walking around the school, I found a bookstore not far away from the school gate.

Yu Zhiwan excitedly pointed to him and said, "The owner of this bookstore is really nice. I used to come here often after school, and he even reserved a special seat for me. That's where I started teaching myself fashion design."

She did not live on campus in high school, but went to school as a day student.

At that time, after school every day, she didn't want to go home early to face her adoptive parents. That home made her feel suffocated, so she hid in bookstores to read books and taught herself design.

The bookstore owner was a very enthusiastic middle-aged man. Seeing that she went there often, he reserved a seat for her.

So sometimes when the bookstore owner is busy, she will help him look after the store.

Xie Jingmo raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I've been to this bookstore a few times and have seen you occasionally."

Yu Zhiwan was surprised: "Really? What a coincidence?"

The man said with a smile at the end of his voice: "Yes, it's such a coincidence."

Yu Zhiwan: “…”

Since he was already there, Yu Zhiwan simply walked into the store to take a look. It was almost the same as before, with not much changes, and there were still many students coming in and out.

The boss is not at home, and his son is looking after the shop.

Yu Zhiwan didn't let Xie Jingmo accompany her, and went in to look around by herself, wanting to buy some books on design.

Xie Jingmo was waiting for her at the cashier. He leaned lazily against the counter and took out his cell phone to take a look.

Not long after, the bookstore owner returned. Seeing the man at the counter, a smile of surprise appeared on his face. "What a rare visitor! What brings you here? When did you arrive?"

Xie Jingmo looked over when he heard the voice and saw that it was the bookstore owner. The corners of his lips curled slightly: "Just came here."

"Come on, sit down! I'll get you a chair!" the boss said enthusiastically, his face full of wrinkles. "When you were a freshman and sophomore, you would come back to visit the high school. Ever since that girl graduated from high school, you haven't been here often. Okay, I know that every time you come back, it's just for that girl!"

Xie Jingmo smiled: "Okay, go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me."

The boss tutted his words and said, "Can I just ignore you, old man?"

At that time, his family encountered difficulties and he was short of cash, so the bookstore was forced to close. It was Young Master Xie who gave him a sum of money so that the bookstore could continue to operate.

I really met the God of Wealth.

At first, he thought that the God of Wealth loved learning and could not bear to let the sacred bookstore full of knowledge atmosphere go bankrupt.

After asking, I found out that he was overthinking it.

Young Master Xie had never even bought many books, all for the girl he liked.

It was the girl named Yu Zhiwan who often came to his store to read and buy books and taught herself fashion design. If his store went bankrupt, it would be inconvenient for Yu Zhiwan to study on her own in the future, after all, there were no other bookstores around.

That's why Young Master Xie spent a huge amount of money to keep his bookstore from closing, just for the little girl named Yu Zhiwan.

Yu Zhiwan walked around inside and picked up a few design books. When she came out, she saw Xie Jingmo talking to the boss. A look of surprise crossed her eyes: "Do you know each other?"

The boss was even more surprised when he saw Yu Zhiwan: "Zhiwan is here too."

Wait a moment!

The boss looked at Yu Zhiwan, then at Xie Jingmo, "Did you two come together?"

Xie Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to show off the marriage certificate around his neck, but the marriage certificate was taken away by Yu Zhiwan.

He turned around and took Yu Zhiwan's hand. His peach blossom eyes were filled with a lazy smile, and he introduced her in a casual voice, "My wife."

Bookstore owner: “!!!”

Oh my God!

Did he really catch up with her?

The boss suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "Great, great, great! Very good, very good! Congratulations!"

Yu Zhiwan was confused.

Why is the boss so happy?

She gently tugged at Xie Jingmo's clothes: "Do you know the boss?"

Xie Jingmo glanced at the girl's hand tugging at his clothes, and a lazy smile climbed up his brows: "I'm not familiar with her, I've only met her a few times."

Bookstore owner: “…” Hehe.

Xie Jingmo raised his chin, pointed to a spot not far away, and said to Yu Zhiwan, "Did you often sit there before? I once saw you sitting there drawing little bunnies, pink and tender little bunnies with long ears."

Yu Zhiwan: “…”

He even remembers this?

She has painted so many pictures that she can't even remember them all.

After chatting with the boss for a while and talking about many old stories from high school, the two said goodbye and left.

On the way home, Xie Jingmo drove and Yu Zhiwan sat in the passenger seat.

She was amazed that Xie Jingmo even knew about her drawing of a little rabbit when he went to the bookstore.

Wait, little rabbit...

Yu Zhiwan's eyes rolled around quickly, he took out his cell phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on Xie Jingmo's WeChat avatar.

His WeChat avatar is a pink and tender little rabbit drawn with a paintbrush.

Yu Zhiwan zoomed in and looked carefully.

The more I look at it, the more I feel it.

This little rabbit...why does it look a bit like the style she drew when she first learned to paint?
