"Yeah! I like it very much." Zhang Moyan nodded like beating a drum, picked up a piece of chocolate and took a bite, then closed his eyes and let the chocolate melt in his mouth.
"British writer Carol Matthews said 'Chocolate is the only happiness money can buy'."
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her head was slightly tilted back with her eyes closed, her curved eyelashes were lightly touching her cheeks, her nose was upturned at just the right angle, and her gentle lips were as pink as petals.
Damn! This really looks like you're waiting to be eaten!
Xiao Xingyu swallowed hard, forced himself to look away, stuffed a chocolate bar into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then turned his head and said, "Did he say that?"
"Huh?" Zhang Moyan opened her eyes like a lost deer, "Isn't it?"
"Isn't what he said—'Who says money can't buy happiness? It's because you didn't spend it on chocolate'?"
Zhang Moyan bit her lip lightly: "Is that so?"
Xiao Xingyu stared at her lower lip, which had become increasingly red from being knocked by her teeth, and he almost wanted to stand up and run away.
"There was a candy shop near where I lived and studied in England, and it had this sentence written on the window."
Okay, he can actually say such normal things with his head full of nonsense and egg-yolk images. Can he compete for the Oscar for Best Actor?
"Oh——" Zhang Moyan looked as if she had learned something. "Your translation is more romantic." Then she put the half-eaten chocolate back into the box.
"Why don't you eat anymore?"
Zhang Moyan closed the chocolate box and said seriously, "I can't eat too much at night. I have to be self-disciplined and control my weight so that I can find a partner sooner."
As if she was stuck in a dead end, she said with a look of conviction: "Just like Li Ming couldn't forget Lulu for so many years, Lulu's beauty must have been a very important factor."
Xiao Xingyu was speechless. This woman! Didn't he say that choosing a partner depends on common interests and hobbies?
It's like playing the lute to a cow. He said such profound words.
"Then you should find someone good-looking too!" he suggested. "There are plenty of beautiful women in this world, but not many beautiful men."
"......?" Zhang Moyan used her remaining brain power to analyze Xiao Xingyu's words. Her intuition told her that these words were very profound.
But what is the connotation?
She thought hard for a full minute.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Xiao Xingyu couldn't wait to prompt.
Zhang Moyan suddenly felt a psychological push at this suggestion, and before her brain could even process it, she blurted out, "Then can I ask you to be my partner?"
Xiao Xingyu felt something was a little weird. It was going too smoothly. Why did he feel like he was just entertaining himself?
"Do it?" Zhang Moyan looked at him sadly.
"Cough cough!" Xiao Xingyu was choked by the air twice. Sorry, he had thought wrongly.
Clearing his throat, which was sore from coughing, he tried to say seriously, "You want me to be your partner?"
"Well," Zhang Moyan traced the expression on Xiao Xingyu's face and said seriously, "Be my partner first, then marry me, have a few children and raise them to adulthood, and stay with me forever, never apart for the rest of your life."
Xiao Xingyu: “…”
He just wanted to make sure he was talking to the right person, but he ended up talking about getting married. It was like going to a friend's house and just wanting to have a quick meal, just dumplings or noodles, but they turned out to treat you to a full banquet.
The throbbing is so clear.
After a while, he said, "I'll think about it."
He really wants to smoke a cigarette now: "You just broke up and acted impulsively, and now you're screwing me over!"
"No," Zhang Moyan leaned towards him and looked at him seriously: "I won't cheat you, I will protect you."
She wasn't bragging, she had just won a battle to defend his position as the leading man!
"Protect me?" Xiao Xingyu was surprised.
"Yes," Zhang Moyan's eyes sparkled, and he vowed, "I will always protect you, because you are my hero."
Xiao Xingyu was speechless for a moment and was stunned.
He has heard all kinds of nice things since he was a child, but no one has ever been bold enough to say they want to protect him.
Because he was born like a mountain. When he was young, he crushed his peers. When he grew up, he crushed his entire family. He has always been unmatched. Anyone who said he would protect him would be drowned in people's ridicule and spit of arrogance and ignorance.
But Zhang Moyan, a crying girl with tears still lingering, actually boasted about protecting him and even named him the hero of her life. These words, which seemed to be overestimating her own abilities, seemed to hit the nail on the head, sending an electric current through his body, making him so numb that even his back was wet with sweat.
"It's not impossible." Xiao Xingyu said in a drawling tone.
Zhang Moyan's eyes lit up, and a gentle smile spread across her face.
The two looked into each other's eyes, each reflecting the other. Zhang Moyan said carefully and solemnly, "If you are sure you want to stay with me, you must give me your heart one hundred percent. No more philandering, no more running off with vixens, and no more taking the duck that's delivered to your mouth. You must never break up with me in this life. In life, you are my person, in death, my ghost. Even if we turn into ashes, we will be buried together... In short, you belong to me from the inside out, from head to toe."
Xiao Xingyu lowered his head and glanced sideways at the woman leaning against him: "This request... if a man agrees to it, what's the difference between that and humiliating the country?"
Zhang Moyan didn't say anything or urge him, but just looked up at Xiao Xingyu, waiting for his response.
Her eyes, like black grapes, were strained together, laboriously focused, like a child staying up late to watch their favorite cartoons, unable to resist even when completely sleepy. Her glittering, watery eyes were so full you could almost drown in them.
