Of course, as soon as they left the hospital, they kept their distance. He turned left, he turned right, and in an instant they were only one meter apart.

After all, the current situation is special and there are strict requirements on relationships between men and women. Even if a couple walks on the street, they still have to keep their distance.

It’s okay at home, but you still have to be careful when you are outside.

-

Walking through the alleys with gray walls and gray tiles, you can hear the smoke rising from the walls, the clinking of pots and pans, and the faint aroma of food. This is the ordinary life of the people living in the alleys day after day, full of the smell of fireworks.

Over the years, she has indeed lived a slow-paced life that is fulfilling yet boring, free yet not free.

As they had plenty of time, the two of them were not in a hurry to travel. Instead, every time they passed a place, Jianshu enthusiastically introduced it to Gu Mingjing, playing the role of host to the fullest.

The two of them advanced at a leisurely pace along the way, and it didn't feel boring at all.

No wonder couples in later generations like to walk together so much. Being with the one you love, even if you do nothing, is a happy thing.

The courtyard is not far from the department store, only a five-minute bike ride or a ten-minute walk away.

In winter, Jianshu, who walks to work every day, hates this road.

The most painful thing every day is to struggle forward on this road in the wind and snow. The biggest wish every day is to be able to go directly from home to the office in a flash.

Every minute and every second on this road was a torment for her.

But today, she felt that the road was so short that even if they deliberately slowed down, it still felt too fast.

Because it took a long time to get there, by the time we got downstairs to the department store, it was almost time for work.

There was no time for the two of them to express their love and say goodbye.

Jianshu stopped walking after looking at the staff members who were walking into the building one after another, and then at the people waiting to shop.

"Just send it here." Jian Shu looked at Gu Mingjing reluctantly, but no matter how reluctant she was, she had to go to work.

I hope the day when she doesn't have to go to work will come sooner. Then she can do whatever she wants, sleep as late as she wants, and act as pretentiously as she wants.

Seeing her reluctant look, Gu Mingjing couldn't help but go forward and hug her.

But when he caught a glimpse of the vague gazes of the people around him, he could only suppress the urge.

"I'll wait for you here at noon." This was all he said at the end.

Jianshu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay." Then he told him the time to get off work and reminded him not to come too early.

He looked back at the department store and said, "I'll go in first. You should go back early too."

"Go ahead, I'll leave after you go in." Gu Mingjing said with a gentle look.

Jianshu left, looking back every few steps. Halfway through, he suddenly wanted to stand up, turned around to look at Gu Mingjing, and hurried back.

-

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingjing asked hurriedly, fearing that something had happened to her.

"You can ride my bike back. I won't be able to use it these days, so you can use it first." Jian Shu said in front of him.

She still remembered that Gu Mingjing came for a walk in the morning.

Since they agreed that he would pick her up from get off work these few days, she couldn't let him run around on his own two feet all the time, right?

As for borrowing a bicycle, it is not very realistic. These days, no one has an extra bicycle. Those who have bicycles usually ride them to and from get off work. With Gu Mingjing's personality, he definitely would not ride a bicycle while others walk to work.

Anyway, she has to walk to work these days and has no use for the bicycle, so let him use it.

Gu Mingjing's first reaction was to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, he agreed.

The Gu family is a bit far from the department store, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Moreover, it is really inconvenient to take Jianshu out for fun these days without a bicycle.

Ding Ming needed a bicycle to go to work, and he had originally thought of borrowing one from Lao Tan. But since Jianshu had suggested it, it was more convenient to use hers, since he needed Lao Tan's bicycle from time to time.

As for the embarrassment of riding his future partner's bicycle, he didn't feel it at all.

Seeing that Gu Mingjing agreed, Jianshu took him to the parking lot not far away.

After helping him identify the bicycle and handing him the key to the bike lock, Jianshu quickly turned around and ran away.

She had to hurry as she had to start work in two minutes. It was not good to be late all the time.

Gu Mingjing was left alone, shouting, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."

"I know." Jianshu's response came from the wind.

Seeing Jianshu running away without caring about his image, Gu Mingjing smiled helplessly.

After her figure completely disappeared, Gu Mingjing also got on his bike and left.

-

From that day on, Gu Mingjing would come to the door of Jian's house early every morning and wait. Within two minutes, Jian Shu would open the gate on time and welcome him in with a smile.

Breakfast has been set on the table. Because of Gu Mingjing's advance instructions, the staple food for breakfast is the same every day, accompanied by soy milk, milk or tofu pudding.

During this period, something happened regarding breakfast, which caused the first argument between the two since they started dating.

That is the battle between salty and sweet.

In short, Jianshu likes tofu pudding sweet, while Gu Mingjing likes salty. Not only do they both think their own is the best, but they also think the other person's preference is heresy, and they try to correct it. The two sides disagree, and the battle of words and bizarre articles continues, with each side winning.

From the initial debate on whether tofu pudding is salty or sweet, it extended to the debate on whether rice dumplings are salty or sweet, then to the debate on whether moon cakes are salty or sweet, and finally to the debate on whether glutinous rice balls (Yuanxiao) are salty or sweet.

Fortunately, except for tofu pudding, the two of them reached an agreement on the other four items and both chose the sweet side, thus avoiding a big fight.

Of course, it also prevents the two from parting ways due to completely incompatible tastes.

As for the initial dispute over tofu pudding, it was resolved satisfactorily after Gu Mingjing took the lead and expressed his willingness to accept sweet tofu pudding on the table, and Jianshu followed suit and agreed that salty tofu pudding had a place on the table.

The two reached a consensus and decided to turn a blind eye to the sweet (salty) tofu pudding, out of sight, out of mind.

A sudden war was over before it even started.

Couples are not afraid of quarrels. The process of falling in love is a process of discovering and solving problems. Only in this way can we know whether the two people can get along in all aspects and whether there is a proper solution to the problems that cannot be solved.

If you don't know each other well enough, even if two people seem to get along well, they won't be able to stay together for long.

Small quarrels can bring peace of mind. Appropriate quarrels help us understand each other and make the relationship closer.

At least after the sweet and salty debate, Jianshu and Gu Mingjing did become closer and more casual with each other. They laughed when they wanted to laugh, made noises when they wanted to make noises, and expressed their emotions freely.

It seems like a good thing, isn't it?
