After going down the mountain, the two found a random restaurant, had breakfast and then returned to the hotel.

Du Yuanzhe said: "I prepared a birthday present for you. I was going to give it to you at midnight, but you closed the shop too quickly and I didn't have time to give it to you."

As he spoke, Du Yuanzhe walked into the room, took out the gift and opened it. Inside was a necklace.

"I have never given birthday gifts to people of the opposite sex. I searched the Internet for a long time and found many suggestions for giving jewelry such as necklaces. I chose this necklace. The pendant below is a four-leaf clover. I remember that the four-leaf clover represents luck. I hope it can bring you a little luck."

This is a silver necklace with delicate patterns carved on the body. The four-leaf clover pendant is a hollow design with a diamond in the center, emitting a crystal clear light.

Xia Ningmi looked at the necklace in the box and could hear his intentions. She said, "I like it very much."

This was the first time she received a birthday gift that was carefully prepared by someone.

Du Yuanzhe was very happy to see that she liked it, and said softly: "Shall I put it on you?"

Xia Ningmi turned around and pushed her long hair aside.

Du Yuanzhe suddenly remembered that Xia Ningmi had not combed her long hair in front of him for a long time, and it had always been loose.

"Do you like your hair down?"

Du Yuanzhe asked as he put on the necklace seriously.

Xia Ningmi said, "You like me with my hair down."

Du Yuanzhe had just put on his necklace when he heard the words and choked on his saliva. He coughed violently twice and asked, "Who said that?"

Xia Ning turned to look at him: "I can tell from your eyes."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "I don't like it that much either."

Xia Ningmi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't changed my look too many times, so it's hard to comment right now. If you want to know, I can give it a try."

“Is it necessary to be so serious?”

Xia Ning asked: "Aren't you the one who benefited?"

[Does it have to be such a straight ball?]

Du Yuanzhe was speechless.

He recalled what the young mother who had taken the photo of them yesterday had said.

Du Yuanzhe said, "Xia Ningmi, it has been more than three months since I became your boyfriend on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Have you figured out how it feels to like someone?"

Xia Ningmi didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly, but Du Yuanzhe didn't seem to want to hear her answer, and he continued talking.

“But I seem to have figured it out.”

Du Yuanzhe took a deep breath, looked at her and said, "I don't know how it feels for others to like someone. For me, liking someone means remembering her preferences. When I see something she likes while sitting in the car, I will subconsciously want to buy it for her. Every time I learn a little about her past, I feel more distressed for her. I wish I could invent an amnesia stick to make her forget those things that made her uncomfortable and painful."

"I think her occasional temper is cute. I don't want to see her unhappy. I want to do everything I can to make her happy. When I encounter something happy, I want to share it with her as soon as possible. In the past three months, I have experienced many feelings, and I believe this is love."

"The most important thing is that I hope she can be happy in the future, and I hope that I am the one who makes her happy."

Xia Ningmi listened to him quietly and asked, "Who is 'she'?"

Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment, then said firmly: "She is Xia Ningmi, I like Xia Ningmi, and I want Xia Ningmi to be my girlfriend!"

Every sentence was spoken with a loud voice.

Xia Ningmi looked into his eyes. She had always known that his eyes were beautiful, deep and bright. At this moment, these eyes were filled with love, love for her.

This discovery made her happy, happier than ever before.

Xia Ningmi raised the corner of her mouth: "Okay."

【Laughed! 】

【She smiled! 】

【She agreed to be my girlfriend! 】

It seemed as if a huge fireworks display was going off in Du Yuanzhe's heart.

“Hahaha~”

Du Yuanzhe couldn't help laughing out loud, he bent down, picked up Xia Ningmi and spun her around.

"Hahaha, I got a permanent job, I have a girlfriend, and my girlfriend smiled at me."

Xia Ningmi hugged Du Yuanzhe's neck tightly, feeling his uncontrollable joy, and the curve of her mouth gradually widened.

Du Yuanzhe didn't let go of Xia Ningmi until he felt dizzy.

He shook his dizzy head and smiled foolishly, "Hello, girlfriend, your birthday will be our anniversary from now on. But don't worry, I will prepare two gifts and will never let you miss a holiday."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Do you think I would care about how many gifts?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Whether you care or not, I will be prepared. I saw on the Internet that couples like to bring up old issues when they quarrel. I will never give you the opportunity to bring up old issues."

Xia Ningmi: "Do I look like an irrational person?"

“No!”

You are

Xia Ning narrowed her eyes: "Why do I feel like you're lying? You lied to me on the first day of our relationship?"

Du Yuanzhe denied: "I didn't lie."

Xia Ningmi said: "If you admit it now, I can forgive you, otherwise..."

Du Yuanzhe hesitated for a moment and whispered, "You are not irrational, you just like to find fault with me. If I say something wrong, you get angry and you won't let me go until I coax you."

Xia Ningmi's face darkened instantly: "So this is how you see me. Just now you said you like to coax me, but now it seems that you are not willing to do so."

Du Yuanzhe was dumbfounded.

【Isn't it said that those who confess will be treated leniently and bygones will be forgiven?】

[I was so stupid that I believed her lies]

Du Yuanzhe opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only honestly say, "I was wrong."

Xia Ningmi raised her hand and gently pulled his cheek: "You are so easy to fool."

Du Yuanzhe paused for a moment before realizing what she meant. He said helplessly, "I'm just afraid that we'll quarrel. Anyway, it will be fine as long as I take a step back."

Then he added: "And this is not my fault. Can you please stop teasing me all the time?"

Xia Ning pursed her lips: "I'll try my best."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes widened: "Can't you be a little sincere to your boyfriend?"

Xia Ning said: "I can promise you the greatest sincerity."

Du Yuanzhe suddenly remembered that Xia Ningmi would not make promises easily and would do what she promised.

Du Yuanzhe put the matter aside and asked, "Today is the birthday star's day, what do you want to do next?"

Xia Ningmi thought for a moment and said, "Just go out for a walk without a destination in mind. Just go wherever you go."

Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Okay."

The two of them went out wearing masks, and Du Yuanzhe regretted, "We shouldn't have come to Jiangcheng. The chances of running into someone we know here are too high."

Xia Ningmi frowned: "Is our relationship something that cannot be made public?"

"It's just hard to explain, we are still ready..."

Du Yuanzhe said halfway before reacting: "Oh, yes, I have become a regular. I can just tell the truth to people I know. As long as I am not recognized by fans, it will be fine."

Du Yuanzhe felt relieved instantly.

After the two left the hotel, they randomly chose a direction to walk on the street. They walked side by side. There were various shops on both sides of the road, including jewelry stores, clothing stores, mobile phone stores, etc. This street only sold daily necessities, and there were no stores selling food.

Du Yuanzhe realized his own thoughts and couldn't help but think that he might be a foodie because he always thought of food first.

Xia Ningmi looked at the people coming and going and said, "The post-production of "The Legend of Yun Lan" has been completed. Taking into account the time it will take to be submitted for review, it may be scheduled for July."

Du Yuanzhe was somewhat surprised: "So it will be aired in two months. What a coincidence! My current drama will be finished next month, which will be a good opportunity for me to participate in the promotion of "The Legend of Yun Lan". I don't have to worry about not being able to take care of both."

Xia Ningmi: "You are the main character, so you must not be absent from all kinds of publicity. It will be easier to promote after the filming is finished."

Du Yuanzhe said: "I think so too. When I accepted this drama, I was still worried whether it would affect the filming of Xu Cheng's movie. As a result, "The Legend of Yunlan" is about to be broadcast, but there is still no news about the movie."

Hearing Xu Cheng, Xia Ningmi frowned.

Du Yuanzhe suddenly remembered that Xu Cheng had asked Xia Ningmi out for dinner, and he felt uncomfortable. He changed the subject and asked, "Have you seen the finished film of "The Legend of Yunlan"?"

Xia Ningmi shook her head: "No, I never watch the full movie."

Du Yuanzhe pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "You didn't even watch the TV series starring your boyfriend. It seems that I have a very low status in President Xia's heart."

Xia Ning thought it was ridiculous: "What does this have to do with status?"

"But I am very concerned about your affairs."

"for example?"

"For example, I know that Xu Cheng invited you to dinner."

Before he finished speaking, Du Yuanzhe shut up in annoyance.

How can you say this? It makes me look petty.

Xia Ning turned her head and stared at him: "Are you jealous?"

"no!"

Du Yuanzhe quickly denied: "You two are fine, why would I be jealous? Absolutely not."

Xia Ning looked away: "Since you think it's nothing, I won't refuse Xu Cheng's invitation to dinner next time."

【My mouth! 】

Du Yuanzhe pretended to be calm and said, "There's no need to force yourself. You don't have to go if you don't like it."

Xia Ning stopped and looked at him meaningfully.

Du Yuanzhe reluctantly said, "What's that look in your eyes?"

Xia Ningmi said, "I'm saying you're hypocritical."

Du Yuanzhe was unconvinced: "Then you are also hypocritical."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to elaborate.

Du Yuanzhe: "When I mentioned Wei Lingling before, you were jealous, right?"

Judging from himself, if he is jealous of Xu Cheng, then Xia Ningmi must have been jealous of Wei Lingling before.

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "So what?"

[You just admit it? ]

Du Yuanzhe straightened his back and said, "It's okay for me to be jealous. We are all the same."

Xia Ning added: "Xu Cheng and I are not familiar with each other. We only see each other a few times a year, but you and Wei Lingling are friends."

Du Yuanzhe couldn't straighten his back and whispered, "This is not for me to decide, and Wei Lingling doesn't like me."

Xia Ning glared at him: "If she likes you, do you think I would still let you two meet?"

At this moment, the Queen's aura was fully revealed.

Xia Ningmi continued to move forward.

So cool and seductive!

Du Yuanzhe touched his heart and felt as if it was about to jump out.

This is what it feels like to be moved.

Du Yuanzhe quickly followed Xia Ningmi, but his eyes fell on Xia Ningmi's right hand, which was swaying as she walked, and he was eager to make a move.

[I have been converted to a regular employee, so it is definitely possible]

Du Yuanzhe looked straight ahead, slowly stretched out his left hand towards Xia Ningmi, and held her right hand tightly the moment it touched.

Soft!

Du Yuanzhe smiled, but something unexpected happened the next moment.

"ah--"

Xia Ningmi felt her right hand suddenly grabbed by someone, and her body reacted subconsciously. She twisted Du Yuanzhe's arm and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. The whole process was smooth and skillful.

Du Yuanzhe felt like his heart and lungs were about to fall out.

All of a sudden, all the sweetness was gone, leaving only pain.

Xia Ning was stunned. She just realized that she had thrown Du Yuanzhe.

"You, are you okay?"

Du Yuanzhe was lying on the ground and was about to speak when a scene inexplicably appeared in his mind.

"Ah, you actually threw me over your shoulder, murdering your own husband."

"I don't care. I've taken 10,000 points of damage now. I need a kiss to get up."

"You're threatening me with judo training again, be careful or I'll sue you for domestic violence. After all, I'm a big star with tens of millions of fans, don't look down on me."

Seeing that Du Yuanzhe didn't say anything, Xia Ningmi thought that she had hurt him, and squatted down anxiously to check on him.

"What's wrong with you?"

The fragment in his mind disappeared. Du Yuanzhe looked at Xia Ningmi who was right in front of him and subconsciously said, "I have suffered 10,000 points of damage. I need a kiss to get up."

Xia Ningmi's panic expression disappeared instantly, and she stood up and said, "Then just continue to lie down."

Du Yuanzhe only came back to his senses now. He didn't think about what happened just now. He said unhappily, "You threw me to the ground without knowing the truth."

Xia Ning looked down at him: "Who told you to touch me suddenly?"

"I'm your boyfriend, can't I just give you a hand?"

"I didn't say no, but you had to tell me in advance. I'm very defensive, and I just attacked subconsciously."

Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "How long did it take you to practice such a skilled attack?"

Xia Ningmi said, "You should be thankful that I didn't use my full strength just now, otherwise your arm would have been broken."

Du Yuanzhe felt the pain in his back: "Should I still be thankful?"

Xia Ning looked around and reminded him calmly, "If you're not afraid of being treated like a monkey, just lie down."

Du Yuanzhe turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, quite a few people were looking at him.

He didn't want to embarrass himself, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Pull me up."

Xia Ningmi held his hand and pulled him up. When he stood up and wanted to let go, she found that Du Yuanzhe would not let go.

Du Yuanzhe pursed his lips and said, "You have to compensate me. You have to let me hold your hand today."

【I can't be thrown in vain】

Xia Ning didn't refuse: "Let's go."

The two held hands tightly together. Du Yuanzhe looked down from time to time, completely forgetting the little episode just now, and occasionally grinned.

Xia Ning was too embarrassed to look at him, so she said, "I'm not going to run away, so what are you looking at?"

Du Yuanzhe said confidently: "This is the first time I hold my girlfriend's hand. I am happy and proud."

Xia Ningmi looked at his childish look and said, "If you were this childish in front of your fans, you would probably have a lot more mommy fans."

She thinks it's fine this way, it's better for fans to call her son than husband.

However, Du Yuanzhe is not willing to be the son of so many people: "How can I be childish? I am very stable in front of outsiders. My fans only say that I am humorous and witty."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "Then I'll wait and see your calm side."

Du Yuanzhe said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you see it."

......

They went shopping hand in hand, and at noon they found a random restaurant to have lunch, and then continued to stroll around. They chatted while walking, and neither of them felt bored. Instead, they enjoyed this warm atmosphere.

Du Yuanzhe asked, "I remember you said you had a nickname?"

Xia Ningmi nodded.

"What is it?"

Xia Ning said: "Qiqi."

Du Yuanzhe was curious: "Why is it called this? You were not born in July?"

Xia Ningmi: "Because my mother gave birth to me seven days earlier than expected, she suffered seven days less, so she gave me this nickname out of joy."

Du Yuanzhe was speechless, not knowing how to comment on the origin of this nickname.

Other people give their children nicknames that have meaning to the children, but Xia Yiyao was thinking about herself when she named her children.

Du Yuanzhe was not surprised at all. He knew that Xia Yiyao was an extremely selfish person. She only had herself in her heart. The only person who could make her compromise over the years was Zhou Heng.

Du Yuanzhe stopped thinking about Xia Yiyao and said, "Then I will call you Qiqi from now on. This is my exclusive name and no one else is allowed to call you that."

Xia Ning said: "It's up to you."

"Qiqi!"

"What?"

"Qiqi!"

"What's the matter?"

"Qiqi!"

"......"

Du Yuanzhe called Xia Ningmi's nickname many times along the way, and in the end Xia Ningmi didn't want to pay any attention to him.

The two of them strolled outside for the whole day. They didn't visit any of the tourist attractions that Du Yuanzhe had originally prepared. They just wandered around for the whole day and finally took a taxi back to the hotel.

As soon as I returned to the hotel suite, there was a knock on the door and a hotel staff member walked in pushing a cake.

"Mr. Du, this is the cake you ordered."

Du Yuanzhe took the cart and said, "Thank you."

After the staff left, Du Yuanzhe said, "How can we celebrate a birthday without a cake?"

"This is your twenty-seventh birthday, but I only asked for eighteen candles. In my heart, Qiqi will always be eighteen years old."

Du Yuanzhe lit the candles one by one, and then turned off all the lights.

"Qiqi, make a wish quickly."

Xia Ningmi closed her eyes and made a wish, while Du Yuanzhe sang birthday song in her ear.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Qiqi, happy birthday to you~"

After the birthday song was over, Xia Ning opened her eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.

Du Yuanzhe clapped his hands and said, "Happy birthday, Qiqi!"

Xia Ning looked at him softly: "Thank you."

"It's only natural that I celebrate my girlfriend's birthday."

Du Yuanzhe came over and turned on a small light, while also starting to play music on the phonograph.

In the dim light, Du Yuanzhe put one hand behind his back, extended his hand as a gentleman and said, "Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance with me?"

Xia Ningmi put her hand into his palm: "Okay."

In order to film the movie, Du Yuanzhe specially learned ballroom dancing. I can't say how well he dances, but at least he won't step on Xia Ningmi's feet.

The music was relaxing and soothing, and Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi had the same slow tempo.

Du Yuanzhe said, "I'm actually going to take you to the Movie City today. There's a store there that provides customers with ancient clothes, so that customers can experience what it's like to be in ancient times. I've only heard about it from others before, but I've never been there. I plan to take you there to have some fun, and take some photos of you in ancient costume."

Xia Ningmi put her left hand on his shoulder, looked at his handsome face so close to her, and said, "Let's go take a look tomorrow."

"Well, I will try my best to capture all your beauty."

"You really want to take my picture?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I just want to capture every moment of your life. When we are old, these photos will be the carrier of our memories."

Xia Ning asked: "Then why not take a picture of you?"

"Have you forgotten what I do? You can't miss my photos. If you search online, you will find countless of them."

Xia Ningmi said: "It seems that you are very sure that you will be very popular."

Du Yuanzhe said confidently: "I didn't lack strength before, I just lacked opportunities. Now that I have seized the opportunity, there is no reason for me to remain unknown."

Xia Ningmi: "I remember someone said they just wanted to be an actor."

Du Yuanzhe said: "I really just want to be an actor. Fame and traffic are both aids in helping me become a good actor. I won't pursue traffic too much, but I won't resist it either."

"Like those netizens, they don't hate all traffic, they just hate traffic without power. Because there is too much traffic without power, it creates a phenomenon that the audience hates traffic."

"There are actors in the entertainment industry who have both talent and traffic, such as Yang Shiyao from our company, but there are too few of them and they cannot change the audience's perception of traffic."

Xia Ningmi frowned: "It seems that you admire Yang Shiyao very much."

Du Yuanzhe could immediately sense her jealousy and laughed, "Are you jealous? You can't even mention it?"

Xia Ning said forcefully, "Just don't mention it."

Du Yuanzhe said: "Then let's not talk about it."

[My girlfriend is so cute even when she’s jealous]

cute?

Xia Ning felt that she had nothing to do with this word, and Du Yuanzhe's filter for her was probably eight hundred meters thick.

The author has something to say:
