After finishing dealing with matters in Beijing, it was already the end of October. Ruan Ruan completely shut herself in at home and didn't really want to go out. During this time, she had too many things on her mind and too many things to do. Every morning after waking up, she felt listless and lethargic.
During this time, Huo Haocheng was asked to retrieve all the clothes that the old lady had made.
"Honey, aren't you sure you want to go out for a walk? How about I take you to the city to see a movie tomorrow, since I have the day off?"
Huo Haocheng returned home very early today. When he arrived, Ruan Ruan was still translating a book; she was currently translating a German military book.
Upon hearing his words, Ruan Ruan's first reaction was no; without even raising her head, she blurted out, "I'm not going, I don't want to move, I don't want to see."
"Little sister, you haven't left the house for quite a while now. You don't even know, my second brother asked me today why you haven't visited him lately."
During this period, because Huo Haocheng was around, she would wait for him to come back every day and listen to him tell her about her second brother's day with Commander Bai before she could go to sleep happily. This also caused her to get up very late every day. After lunch, she would take a nap, and then the day would be almost over, so it was difficult for her to go out.
"Then, why don't you ask your second brother and the others to come over for dinner tomorrow?" Hearing that her second brother missed her, she also missed her boyfriend a little, but when she thought about the current weather, she didn't really want to go out. She decided to have them come over instead.
Seeing that mentioning his second brother-in-law was no longer effective, Huo Haocheng thought of how Gu Jinghe had boasted to them today that their family was already discussing their wedding date with the Jiang family.
"I heard from Gu Jinghe today that he and Dr. Jiang are getting married. Aren't you going to buy Dr. Jiang a wedding gift?"
"They're getting married! Well, then we need to buy them a gift. Oh, okay, let's go to the city tomorrow!" Hearing that they were getting married, it wouldn't be good to have someone else bring it back or have Huo Haocheng buy it. Sigh, I should choose it myself. After all, Jiang Yuli has taken good care of me since I came here, and she likes me too.
That evening, after dinner, Huo Haocheng teased her for a while, and after taking her once, he held his wife and went to sleep. He hadn't forgotten that he was going to take her out the next day, and he couldn't let her be unable to get up because of this and use it as an excuse not to go out.
The next day, before dawn, Huo Haocheng went to do morning exercises first, and then asked for leave. That's right, he asked for leave. Yesterday, he told Ruan Ruan that he was taking the day off, but that was a lie. He also felt that his wife had been staying at home and unwilling to go out for a while, so he decided to take her to the city for a visit.
She had taken leave and borrowed a bicycle from Commander Gu. It was getting cold, and he didn't want her to sit on a bicycle in the cold wind for so long. Besides, since Huo Haoshen and the others arrived, Ruan Ruan had left her bicycle with them, saying it would be convenient for them to get around, since she didn't go out much anyway. Huo Haocheng didn't say anything about her decision; they were all family, so it didn't matter who rode it.
When he drove back, Ruan Ruan was still asleep.
Huo Haocheng had no choice but to get her some clothes and help her put them on. Before she put on each piece of clothing, he would kiss her. After he finished dressing her, she woke up.
"You're awake." He put on his last coat, kissed her on the eyes, and said, "I brought you steamed buns and eggs. Get up, wash up, eat, and then we'll head out."
"Okay, hug." She stretched out her arms, and he squatted down first, took out her feet, put her socks and shoes on her, then followed her hands, bent down and let her hug his neck, then dragged her by her legs and carried her out of the bedroom.
Afterwards, when he put her down, he patted her bottom and kissed the corner of her mouth, exclaiming, "What a delicate wife!" Then he went to get her hot water to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Ruan Ruan was fully awake when he slapped her, and in a fit of pique, she slapped his butt back. The two ate their meal while playfully fighting. When they went out, he pressed her against the door and kissed her for a while before taking her to the car and heading to the city.
"Weren't you going to buy a gift? Why are you at the movie theater?" Ruan Ruan looked at him in confusion when she saw him park his car at the theater entrance.
Hearing her words, Huo Haocheng looked at her with the same confusion, "Didn't we agree last night that we would watch a movie first, then go to dinner, and then pick out a gift?"
"Hmm? Did you say that last night? When did you say it?" She thought they were just here to buy gifts and then head home, but after thinking about it carefully, she still couldn't remember what they had said.
Huo Haocheng didn't answer her immediately. He got out of the car on his own, walked over to her, opened the car door, and as he carried her out, he whispered in her ear, "When we did it last night."
After that, he closed the car door and, without waiting for her reaction, went into the movie theater to buy tickets.
"It would have been better not to say anything!" Looking at his back, Ruan Ruan was so embarrassed by his words that she looked around and, after making sure no one was there, quickly followed after him.
When buying the tickets, Huo Haocheng specifically asked if there were many people watching the movie today. After receiving only a few answers, he bought a seat in the last row.
As the ticket seller said, at the beginning of the movie, only the first two rows were occupied, and there were only a few scattered seats in the back. The last two rows were completely empty except for them.
At first, Ruan Ruan didn't understand why he did this, but after the movie started, he took her hand, turned his head to her and discussed the plot of the movie, and the scene seemed familiar.
After she realized what was happening, she pushed the head that was leaning towards her and said, "How childish of you!"
“It’s not childish. I want to do with you everything that others can do with you.” As he spoke, Huo Haocheng reached out and pressed her head down, letting her rest it on his shoulder.
