Wen Zhichao returned home that evening, and unexpectedly, he had also bought several military coats. The styles were similar, differing only in size. He bought three each for himself and Xia Ruzheng.
When Wen Zhichao returned home and saw the coat at home, he was immediately surprised.
"Where did you get such a nice coat?"
Xia Ruzheng stuck his head out of the kitchen and saw that it was Wen Zhichao who had returned.
Xia Ruzheng took the dishes off the stove and came out of the kitchen, saying, "These were given by Grandma Liu. They're all made of fine materials and are well-made. Grandma Liu didn't say, but I guess she bought them from abroad. Mine was worn by Grandma Liu, and yours is worn by her son. Do you mind?"
Wen Zhichao held up the coat and looked at it, clicking his tongue as he said, "Of course I don't mind. They gave us all their son's belongings, which shows how much they think of us. Besides, we don't even have the money to buy such fine clothes!"
I didn’t expect that Wen Zhichao had the same idea as me.
Xia Ruzheng walked over, put his arm around Wen Zhichao's waist, and said, "What should we do? We owe the elders more and more favors, and we're really worried that we won't be able to repay them in the future."
Wen Zhichao put down his coat, put his arm around Xia Ruzheng, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here! The two elders may not have much money, but we are young! If they have any difficulties in the future, we should help them and take care of them more! Although they have government pensions, they have no descendants to look after them. Isn't it a good opportunity for us to take care of them?"
Xia Ruzheng thought so too. If the old man had any problems in the future, he could lend a hand and there would be plenty of opportunities to repay him. To be frank, if the old man had any headaches or fevers in the future, he and his wife could also help out. We couldn't guarantee that we could be like their biological sons, but it would be much better than them being alone.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruzheng felt a little relieved and said, "That's great. We must work hard to repay the favor in the future! I never thought we would be so lucky to meet such a kind old man and such a good landlord."
The previous landlord, Chen Mei, practically pissed Xia Ruzheng off. She was truly capable of such behavior. Chen Mei was even younger than the two elderly people across the street, and they were both so virtuous. It's truly remarkable that they've become such respectable and lovable elders. Those ten years bred countless people with erratic tempers, a lack of trust, and a strong sense of crisis. To still be so cheerful and open-minded, so kind to others after going through that storm, is truly rare.
Wen Zhichao said, "I've had my fortune told! I've been blessed with benefactors throughout my life, so everything I do is easier than for others! Don't worry, marry me, you'll definitely live a good life!"
Seeing his boastful expression, Xia Ruzheng glared at him and said, "Aren't fortune tellers superstitious? You believe in them too?"
Wen Zhichao said, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it! This will always make me full of confidence in the future, right? I think the fortune teller was right. I have always met noble people! In the county, in the city, and now in Guangzhou, I have met many noble people. Of course, the most important noble person is you!"
Xia Ruzheng blushed. This man had no pressure at all when saying sweet words, but he felt very pressured when listening to them!
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but think, wasn't Wen Zhichao a benefactor to her? It was he who helped her escape Huang Zhong, escape her original fate, and now she is in Guangzhou, with her own stage. While life may not be as easy and comfortable as it was back home, it's all worth it, because there's hope ahead. Her present is the opportunity Wen Zhichao gave her, and he's always been there for her as she pursues the hope for the future.
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and then Xia Ruzheng pulled Wen Zhichao to try on clothes.
"This dress is black, and I think it suits you. Your fair skin needs a black color to flatter it, otherwise it'll look too pale." Although Wen Zhichao is albinic, his features are remarkably beautiful. Xia Ruzheng found this strange. She had observed Wen's parents-in-law and other siblings. Their looks were better than average, but nothing like Wen Zhichao's. If Wen Zhichao were a normal person, he would be incredibly handsome.
Wen Zhichao obediently put on the black tweed coat. This coat was very similar to the black tweed coats of later generations. Wen Zhichao was tall and not particularly strong, but he still held up the coat, showing his temperament at once.
Xia Ruzheng stood aside, and Wen Zhichao was still looking at himself in the mirror.
Xia Ruzheng felt that Wen Zhichao exuded his temperament when wearing this dress. Xia Ruzheng couldn't explain that temperament, but in short, it was a very fatal temptation for women.
If Xia Ruzheng had lived the life of an ordinary woman in her previous life and watched those classic movies and TV series, she would definitely understand that this was different from those cruel gangster bosses in movies and TV series, with their cold temperament and that feeling of arrogance and contempt.
Wen Zhichao, still unaware of himself, asked Xia Ruzheng, "Does it look good?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "It looks good, but you can't just wear it out casually. If you want to wear this dress, I have to go with you!"
Wen Zhichao was puzzled: "Why?"
Xia Ruzheng snorted and said, "Too coquettish!"
Wen Zhichao couldn't help laughing.
Wen Zhichao immediately picked out a red woolen coat for Xia Ruzheng. The collar of this coat was inlaid with fur, which was very comfortable. Xia Ruzheng touched it. It was very comfortable and soft. Could it be real fur?
Xia Ruzheng was a very good-looking man. In his hometown, he was a prominent figure in the surrounding area. In Guangzhou, although there were many beautiful girls, Xia Ruzheng still stood out. Now wearing this red coat, he instantly looked like a beautiful woman.
