Yu Wenhao was on edge all morning, as Shen Xingzhi had never allowed him to come home at noon on weekdays.
He asked what was wrong on the phone, and Shen Xingzhi said that it would be easier to explain face-to-face. Considering what had happened recently, Yu Wenhao guessed that Shen Xingzhi wanted to break up with him.
He bought a bouquet of flowers on the way to try and win back his girlfriend. He read online that women can be easily coaxed, and what should he use to coax her? Flowers are the most practical.
The man stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and then entered the password.
When the door opened, he seemed to hear many footsteps.
Could it be that Shen Xingzhi has someone else? Is she bringing that person along to confront me?
Yu Wenhao hid the flowers behind his back, determined to never reconcile after cheating.
The door opened completely, and he saw balloons floating in the living room.
The man stared, mouth agape, for a moment before he reacted: "You're not breaking up with me? Are you celebrating something?"
Shen Xingzhi, holding the gift box, asked, "Break up? Why did you break up?"
"You called me back because you wanted to break up, didn't you?"
Shen Xingzhi was both amused and exasperated: "No wonder you had such a long face from the moment you walked in. Did you think I was calling you back to break up with me? You're so wonderful, how could I bear to part with you?"
"Ahem." The woman gave a pre-arranged signal.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone emerged from various corners, holding gifts in their hands: "Happy Birthday."
Shen Xingzhi handed over what she was holding, saying, "Happy birthday."
"Birthday?" Yu Wenhao was stunned for a moment before he remembered that it was his birthday today.
"You really are a blockhead," Shen Xingzhi chided. "But being a blockhead is good; a blockhead has no guile. What about the flowers in your hand?"
Yu Wenhao, carrying a bouquet of flowers, said, "I wanted to win you back."
"Silly boy." Shen Xingzhi took her boyfriend's arm. "Everyone's here to celebrate your birthday. Is it worth taking half a day off? Dinner's ready. Let's eat and then go see a movie."
Yu Wenhao turned to the side, his eyes reddening.
After a moment, he thanked everyone one by one.
People like surprises, regardless of gender. Rong Yan concluded this after seeing Yu Wenhao's reaction. She glanced at Fu Jingsheng out of the corner of her eye; he must be quite envious.
Ye Jianming and Gu Hannian are both straightforward. When he saw the birthday surprise that other people's girlfriends had carefully prepared, he whispered to Gu Hannian, "My lunar birthday hasn't come yet."
For someone like Gu Hannian, who has never celebrated her birthday since childhood, a birthday cake and a bowl of longevity noodles would be a great treat. Yet Ye Jianming actually wanted to celebrate two birthdays.
"You want to have a birthday party?" Gu Hannian asked directly. "Then I'll take a picture, the exact same one."
Ye Jianming: ...
"Everyone, please sit down and eat," Shen Xingzhi said, inviting everyone to sit down and eat.
At the dinner table, Yu Wenhao took a few sips of wine and became more talkative.
He kept thanking Shen Xingzhi.
The others ate a little and then left on their own, giving them space to be alone.
After leaving the apartment, Fu Jingsheng sat in the car for a while, then casually said, "I agree with what Yu Wenhao said."
"What did you say?"
“It’s a wonderful thing to have someone cook for you, even if the food isn’t as delicious as what you get from a professional cook.” Fu Jingsheng immediately recognized the implication: Rong Yan had never cooked for him before.
Rong Yan immediately understood the meaning behind his words. Before getting married, her mother often told her that if you wanted to win a man's heart, you had to win his stomach first.
Rong Yan learned to cook from her mother, but she was really not cut out for it.
It's okay for making a semi-finished dish.
"My cooking is terrible; I can't even swallow it myself." The woman lowered her eyes. "I don't know why, but the steps were all correct."
"Just kidding, I don't want you inhaling cooking fumes in the kitchen either." Fu Jingsheng patted his wife's head. "Let's go home."
After everyone left, Shen Xingzhi tidied up the table.
Yu Wenhao stopped his girlfriend: "I'll do it."
Men are generally unsteady on their feet.
"You should rest," Shen Xingzhi said.
"No, I can't let you do any work, Xingzhi, thank you." Yu Wenhao hugged Shen Xingzhi tightly. "Thank you, I swear I will be good to you for the rest of my life."
The man muttered to himself, and soon fell asleep on the sofa.
Shen Xingzhi had booked the movie tickets in advance, so she could only ask in the group chat if anyone was free to go.
Gu Hannian asked for the QR code.
Ye Jianming drove, originally intending to buy a computer.
Gu Hannian asked, "Let's go see a movie, it's on me."
"Huh?" Ye Jianming thought he had misheard.
Gu Hannian repeated it again.
The man turned his car around and drove to the movie theater.
Ye Jianming bought two cups of milk tea. He had never gone to the movies with a woman before.
I was a little nervous the first time.
Just like Gu Hannian.
She read the movie synopsis and felt a little shy.
Fortunately, I asked Rong Yan beforehand what the two of us were going to do at the movie.
Gu Hannian quietly reached out and took Ye Jianming's hand.
The two of them moved stiffly, and Gu Hannian secretly took a picture and sent it to Rong Yan.
At Yushui Bay, Rong Yan opened the photo.
Inside were two hands, their veins bulging from the tight binding.
She couldn't help but laugh: "Is my sister arm wrestling?"
Fu Jingsheng leaned closer to look: "Not everyone is as quick to understand as I am."
"Honey, I think I'm the happiest among them," the man said sincerely.
Rong Yan rubbed her husband's cheek: "I think so too, isn't that because I'm here?"
"Yes, I really need to thank you."
Rong Yan knew immediately that this was no good news, and refused without hesitation: "No need, it's only between husband and wife, what reward?"
Fu Jingsheng put his arm around the woman's waist: "That won't do. I'll feel bad if I don't reward her."
“Auntie, is it over?” he asked.
"It's over. I need to pick up Xiao Lei and the others to go home later. I don't have anything else planned for tonight." Rong Yan hadn't arranged anything else for today. She had plenty of time to spend with Fu Jingsheng tonight, so there was no need to rush to a small meeting during the day.
Fu Jingsheng really wanted to, but Rong Yan's cycle was too long, six days. Lying next to his wife every day, he was about to explode with pent-up desire.
He looked at Rong Yan pitifully: "Then will you reward me?"
“It’s not even 2 o’clock yet, four hours is enough. Is today a safe period?” Fu Jingsheng discussed with Rong Yan. “The time is just right, you don’t have to worry about me taking too long.”
"Whose reward is this?" Rong Yan didn't want to be during the day. She could come whenever she wanted, and she felt like an animal.
Unable to resist Fu Jingsheng's persistent pleading.
Finally, she obediently followed him upstairs.
Fu Jingsheng's constant verbal and physical teasing was irresistible to anyone.
The maid cleans the master bedroom on the second floor every day, even when they are not home.
The blanket still smells of sunshine.
As soon as Fu Jingsheng closed the door, he turned on the air conditioner. After the heating came on, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Rong Yan was changing clothes in the dressing room.
Fu Jingsheng came out quickly, without even wrapping himself in a bath towel, and hugged the woman on the sofa.
He kissed her ear, waiting for Rong Yan to speak first.
The woman felt hot all over from being rubbed, but Fu Jingsheng hesitated to take any further steps.
She turned her head and bit the man's neck: "Give me a kiss too."
"Where should I kiss you?" Fu Jingsheng asked deliberately when Rong Yan took the initiative.
"Look from top to bottom, don't stare at the ears."
