Xia Xi was sure that Xu Yanfeng was a little arrogant. Although he had called her "wife" before, it was never like this now. His tone was full of twists and turns, and he was smiling, which made people's ears numb and itchy.

Xia Xi turned to face the window, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Yanfeng asked her deliberately.

Xia Xi casually pointed to an ice cream shop on the side of the road where many people were queuing up: "I want to eat."

The next second, the car slowed down. Xu Yanfeng turned the steering wheel, pulled the car over, and picked up his phone: "Sit in the car and wait. Don't get out. Let's go out and dry. Your husband will buy it for you."

Not only the corners of Xia Xi's mouth, but even his eyes were filled with smiles.

The car door opened and closed, and Xu Yanfeng walked towards the ice cream shop with his long legs.

Xia Xi unbuckled his seatbelt, feeling it was too tight. He leaned back in his chair, his head tilted to stare at the tall figure receding into the distance. His suit had been tossed on the backseat. He was wearing the white shirt and black trousers he'd worn when he got his marriage certificate that morning, standing in a line mostly of girls, a slight sense of dissonance. The scorching sun streamed down, and he propped himself up with one hand on his waist, his head tilted to the side. The scene was strangely beautiful, and the slightest sense of dissonance vanished.

Xia Xi raised her cell phone and took a picture of his back.

Perhaps there really was telepathy. The moment she pressed the camera button, Xu Yanfeng turned around and looked at her.

Although they were far apart and separated by the car window, their eyes just happened to meet.

The picture freezes at this point.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yanfeng came back with ice cream. The car door was opened, and he bent over and handed it to her.

Xia Xi reached out to take it, but he withdrew his hand and stared into her dark eyes: "Nothing to say?"

"What?" Xia Xi tilted his head in confusion.

Xu Yanfeng pondered for a moment and gave her a hint: "At lunch, you said four words to me."

"I said a lot to you during lunch. How do I know which four words they were?"

Xu Yanfeng further reminded: "I didn't hear clearly at that time, the four words you repeated."

Xia Xi knew what it was, and she gave in. Her eyes fell on the ice cream in his hand: "If you don't melt it for me, it will melt."

The tip of the ice cream was curved, a little melted, and dripping down. Xu Yanfeng ate it in one bite.

Xia Xi stared at him and reminded him: "You bought it for me."

"Didn't you say it was about to melt? I was saving it." Xu Yanfeng said confidently.

"Xu Yanfeng, you are really childish." Xia Xi grabbed the ice cream and didn't mind him having eaten it before. She took a bite from the place he had just taken a bite. As he wished, she grinned and said to him, "Thank you, husband."

Xu Yanfeng was satisfied, curled the corners of his lips, and drove the car onto the road.

Xia Xi was eating her ice cream bite by bite when she heard her cell phone ring. The exact same scene as at noon was playing out. Xia Xi picked up Xu Yanfeng's phone from the armrest. This time, the caller was a different person: "Luo Jinnan, do you want to answer?"

Xu Yanfeng said: "Don't worry about it."

Xia Xi thought, it must be about the party in the evening.

"Go over there after you drop me off." Xia Xi lowered her head and tore off the wrapper of the cone. Her fingers were sticky, so she wiped them with a tissue. "They all know you got your marriage certificate today. If you don't go, they might think I'm the one who stopped you from going, and it'll affect my reputation."

Xu Yanfeng seemed not to have heard clearly and asked, "What affects you?"

Xia Xi paused. The reason she gave was indeed far-fetched. After a short silence, she gritted her teeth and repeated with difficulty: "It affects my reputation." It sounded like a joke.

When has Xia Xi ever cared about her reputation?

Sure enough, Xu Yanfeng knew her well enough and chuckled, "Have you ever cared about your reputation?" She didn't even care about his childhood friends, so naturally she didn't care what they thought of her.

"Forget it, it's up to you to go or not."

Xia Xi took the last bite of the cone. It was no longer crispy, but had been softened by the melted ice cream.

The two chatted all the way home, and the journey home seemed particularly short. The car drove into the residential complex and parked in the basement. Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi got out of the car together and walked into the elevator. The phone rang again.

This time it’s Fu Li.

I guess they have agreed to take turns calling.

Xia Xi glanced at Xu Yanfeng's cell phone screen. Looking at the situation, she felt that if Xu Yanfeng didn't show up tonight, his group of childhood friends would come to his house to arrest him.

Xu Yanfeng probably thought the same as she did. He stopped ignoring her and answered the phone, but his eyes were still on her face.

"Are you really not coming?" Fu Li asked on the phone.

Xu Yanfeng didn't answer directly, but asked, "Who came up with this idea?"

"Need I ask? It must be Tang Yizhou. He made such a big fuss, I thought you had agreed. Just now, Luotuo and I pressed him, and he finally told the truth. You didn't agree at all. Isn't that a fuss?" Fu Li said seriously, "Are you coming or not? Give me a definite answer."

The elevator arrived with a ding sound. Xu Yanfeng took Xia Xi's hand, held it, and walked out with her. He casually said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Wait."

"Okay." Fu Li got the OK and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait." Xu Yanfeng pressed the back of Xia Xi's hand with the tip of his thumb. "My wife and son will come over too."

Fu Li: “…”

Xia Xi glanced at Xu Yanfeng, her eyes seemed to say "Are you kidding me?" She didn't say she wanted to go. Ziheng was still a child and was not suitable for going to those entertainment venues.

After Xu Yanfeng hung up the phone, Xia Xi stopped outside the door and asked, "Are you serious?"

Xu Yanfeng: "It's more real than real gold."

After entering the house, Ziheng was alone in the sunken leisure area reading a book. There were food and drinks on the round table in front of him. When he saw the two people coming back, he closed the book and came up the stairs: "Mom!"
