"Gifts don't have to be expensive or cheap; it's the thought that counts." Gu Yiming knew what Jiang Hua was thinking and said calmly from the side. Then he suddenly changed the subject, "Besides, I think the things here are pretty good. Look, this sign is quite to my liking."

Hearing Gu Yiming say that, Jiang Hua knew even more what he was thinking, so she became even more shy. She patted him lightly and said, "I know it's a small gift but it means a lot, but we can't buy it here. It's hard to tell if the things here are real or fake; they're just pretty. I have to carefully choose one for Auntie."

Seeing Jiang Hua refuse, Gu Yiming began to earnestly persuade her: "This is a token of your affection, something that money can't buy. If Mom knew you bought it for her, she would definitely be happy."

"This gentleman is right. It's the thought that counts, it's the gift. Miss, please choose one!"

The shop owner, upon hearing Gu Yiming's words, chimed in with his own words.

Jiang Hua couldn't resist Gu Yiming's insistence, and besides, she also felt that what the shop owner said made sense, so she wandered around the shop and carefully selected items.

Looking at the dazzling array of jade pendants before her, each exquisitely crafted and uniquely its own, Jiang Hua suddenly felt conflicted. She had a serious case of decision paralysis! What was she going to do?

Jiang Hua, who was about to give up and ask Gu Yiming next to her to help her choose one, was suddenly attracted by a jade pendant in the corner. It was a jade pendant with a bright green color.

However, what attracted Jiang Hua was not the appearance of the jade pendant, but the lifelike painting carved on it.

On the jade pendant were two elderly people, with several adults sitting below them, and several children playing around them. The whole family looked very happy, truly living up to the idiom "a house full of children and grandchildren".

Seeing that she had suddenly stopped, Gu Yiming asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Hua smiled at Gu Yiming, then pointed to the jade pendant she had her eye on: "That one!"

The shopkeeper walked over with a smile, took off the jade pendant, and looked at Jiang Hua with a meaningful gaze: "Miss has a good eye. What a wonderful meaning this jade pendant carries."

Gu Yiming also looked over curiously, wanting to see what kind of gift his girlfriend had chosen.

Upon seeing the jade pendant that had been removed, Gu Yiming instantly understood. Turning to the person beside him, she explained with a slightly flushed face, "I think the painting on this jade pendant fits the idiom 'a house full of children and grandchildren,' so the meaning is quite auspicious."

Gu Yiming smiled wickedly, looking at Jiang Hua's slightly flushed face, and slowly said, "But I'm the only child in my family, so I'm an only child."

After saying this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned close to Jiang Hua's ear: "This meaning may need to be fulfilled by Madam for Mother herself!"

Jiang Hua's face instantly went from slightly red to bright red. Looking at the person next to her who was smiling wickedly, she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently punch his chest.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yiming laughed instead of getting angry, and jokingly asked Jiang Hua if she wanted to punch him in the chest with her little fists like she does online.

Jiang Hua was both embarrassed and annoyed. She pretended to be angry and said, "I'm ignoring you!" Then she covered her blushing face and ran out.

Gu Yiming watched her run away, knowing she wasn't really angry, so he calmly paid the bill before slowly chasing after her.

Watching the young couple interact, the shop owner felt like he'd been showered with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). He thought back to his own days when he was like that, but alas, time waits for no one!

He silently sighed to himself, "It's so good to be young!"

Meanwhile, Gu Yiming, who had just chased after her, spotted a shy young woman under a big tree by the roadside and slowly walked over to her.

Jiang Hua stood under the tree, covering her burning face while mentally scolding herself, "I'm so shy! I'm so thin-skinned!"

Gu Yiming suddenly hugged her quietly from behind, startling Jiang Hua. Feeling the warm chest behind her, Jiang Hua suddenly calmed down.

"What are you thinking about, madam?"

Gu Yiming used the name from the game. He didn't want to call her "wife" or use a nickname like other couples, because he felt that was already too common.

Jiang Hua also liked hearing him call her that, as if the two of them were an old married couple who had been married for a long time.

Jiang Hua turned around and hugged his waist: "Why are you so slow?"

"Please don't be angry, my wife. I'm just settling the bill!"

Gu Yiming gently scratched the tip of her pen and affectionately rested his chin on her head, rubbing it against her head.

Jiang Hua's face, which had calmed down somewhat, began to blush again.

Looking at the girl in front of him, dressed in a white dress, with long flowing hair and a delicate and beautiful face, whose face suddenly turned red, Gu Yiming felt that Jiang Hua was exceptionally cute at this moment, like a red apple, making him unable to resist wanting to kiss her.

"Yi Ming?"

Jiang Hua noticed that he suddenly stopped talking and assumed that he was feeling unwell, so she started calling out to him.

Gu Yiming gently pressed his finger to her lips, his voice as gentle as a breeze: "Shh! Don't speak, baby!"

Jiang Hua became even more shy at his intimate address. Her heart was pounding, and she wanted to break the ambiguous atmosphere, but the man in front of her suddenly pressed down on her.

It wasn't until Jiang Hua came to her senses that she realized she had been kissed by Gu Yiming. Her heart pounded and her face turned bright red. This was on the side of the road! Gu Yiming was too bold!

Sensing someone's inattentiveness, Gu Yiming raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but deepen the kiss. Jiang Hua initially resisted, but under Gu Yiming's intense offensive, she finally gave in.

Two handsome men and beautiful women kissed on the side of this wide road. What should have been a disgusting scene was, under the glow of the setting sun, as exquisite as a painting.

People around them walked past them quietly, staring blankly, not wanting to disturb them.

The two kissed passionately, adding an ambiguous atmosphere and the sweet, sour smell of love to the scene.

"Ugh~" Jiang Hua finally couldn't hold on any longer. She wasn't very good at kissing, so she didn't know how to breathe properly. It was okay for a short time, but after a while, she couldn't breathe properly.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, Gu Yiming suddenly covered them and whispered in her ear, "I'll teach you how to breathe!"

Gu Yiming then continued kissing her, and when Jiang Hua was about to lose control, he taught her how to breathe, even guiding her with advanced techniques. The two ended up in a passionate French kiss.

When the two stopped, the people around them were still there, staring intently at them.

Jiang Hua shyly punched Gu Yiming's chest: "It's all your fault! You did this on the main street, and now there are so many people, what are we going to do?"
