Qiao Xiaoni ate the meat, her eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and she swallowed it without chewing much.

Su Chenhao thought Qiao Xiaoni's gluttonous behavior was adorable, just like a little fox.

One ate while the other fed, and soon most of the braised pork knuckle was gone.

Qiao Xiaoni felt she had eaten enough and shook her head, refusing the meat offered to her.

"Okay, I can't eat anymore, it's too greasy."

Su Chenhao put down his chopsticks: "Then we won't eat. I'll tidy up the kitchen. You go back to your room and read for a while. I'll be right back."

Qiao Xiaoni nodded, her hands behind her back, and walked back to her house in a cheerful mood.

Su Chenhao quickly tidied up and returned to his room. He changed his clothes and lay down on the bed. The clock struck one in the morning.

Qiao Xiaoni hugged his arm: "You're so good to me. With you around, I don't have to worry about anything."

"Silly girl, aren't you my wife? If I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to?" Su Chenhao lifted the blanket and pulled her into his bed: "Are you still sleepy? If you don't want to sleep, I'll talk to you for a while."

Qiao Xiaoni closed her eyes: "Go to sleep! You must be tired after a long day and want to sleep. I'll fall asleep after lying down for a while."

Su Chenhao had been busy all day and was indeed a bit tired. He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

After he fell asleep, Qiao Xiaoni opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. It took her a long time to fall asleep again.

The next day, they woke up late for the first time ever, and were awakened by a knock on the door.

Su Chenhao didn't have time to say anything, so he put on his clothes and went out to open the door, thinking that his parents-in-law had arrived. But Zhou Meiling was standing at the door: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and call Xiaoni."

The tall, handsome man in front of Zhou Meiling was even more good-looking than when they last met... She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiao Xiaoni knew Zhou Meiling had arrived, so she put on her shoes and came out of the house. Seeing Zhou Meiling standing there dumbfounded, she went over and waved her hand in front of her face.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

"Ah!" Zhou Meiling came to her senses and realized that she had embarrassed herself.

Qiao Xiaoni casually pulled the person inside and then closed the door. She had told Zhou Meiling her home address before, and this was her first time visiting.

Zhou Meiling sat in a chair and looked around the room: "Your home is even better than I imagined."

Qiao Xiaoni went to the kitchen, poured a cup of hot water, and brought it out to the table.

"Why did you come here? Weren't you supposed to go shopping with him? Today was your first date alone together."

"You took the day off yesterday, and I spent the whole afternoon thinking about it. All the clothes in my suitcase are old. Going shopping with him might not yield any suitable clothes, so it's better to go shopping with you!"

I've already arranged to meet him at the school gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and then we'll take a bus to his house.

"Oh, you came to see me so I could go shopping for clothes with you?"

"Um... I know your stomach isn't feeling well, but could you spend an hour with me, just one hour? Help me pick out a suitable outfit; I don't want to lose face in front of his parents." Zhou Meiling's tone turned pleading towards the end.

Qiao Xiaoni pretended to be thinking and inadvertently glanced into the kitchen, where Su Chenhao was probably boiling water to cook noodles.

Zhou Meiling was extremely anxious and reached out to shake her arm: "Xiaoni, I beg you, please say yes! Just one hour, I promise I won't shop any longer. Come with me to buy clothes, and I'll take you back right away, please!"
