When the clerk asked that question, the two looked at each other and smiled even more shyly.
The clerk didn't ask any more questions; she seemed like the shy type.
Lu He's silence is an admission of guilt.
Xu Feiming's silence suggests he believes they will definitely get married.
“We’ll take this pair. How much will it cost?” Xu Feiming asked.
"This single item costs 120 yuan, but now a pair only costs 228 yuan, but you need two industrial tickets for the watches," the clerk said earnestly.
"Pack this box for us, we'll take it with us. Give us a receipt." Xu Feiming took out money and a receipt from his pocket and handed them to the teller.
"Okay, I'll pack it up for you right now." The clerk quickly took out a piece of paper to pack the box for them and then wrapped it in a paper bag.
"Thank you," Lu He and Xu Feiming said to the teller at the same time.
The teller waved her hand and said, "You're welcome."
Lu He and Xu Feiming left the counter and came down from the second floor.
After checking the time, Xu Feiming said to Lu He, "Let's go eat, shall we?"
“Okay, I’ll treat you to dinner, something delicious,” Lu He said.
Xu Feiming did not refuse and said, "Okay, then thank you Xiaohe for treating me to dinner."
Lu He said with a smile, "If you buy me a gift, I'll treat you to a meal. That's perfect."
Xu Feiming's eyes were filled with Lu He's sweet smile.
As Lu He stared at Xu Feiming, her heart pounded.
They arrived at the state-run restaurant together, and after sitting down, a waiter came over and asked, "What would you two like to eat?"
"I want braised pork trotters with soybeans, and some boiled shrimp." Lu He ordered her favorite dishes first, then asked Xu Feiming, "Brother Feiming, what do you like to eat?"
"I'd like mushroom dumplings, a serving of greens, a serving of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a serving of rice." Xu Feiming thought that the two of them had ordered about the same amount.
Lu He whispered, "How about we order another plate of vegetables?"
"This is too much; we won't be able to finish it later," Xu Feiming thought, not wanting to waste food.
Lu He said, "Listen to me."
Seeing this, Xu Feiming realized that if he really couldn't eat anymore, he could just pack the leftovers and take them home.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Xu Feiming nodded and said.
Lu He looked up at the waiter, smiled, and said, "Another serving of vegetables, please."
"Okay, let me check the menu: braised pork trotters with soybeans, boiled shrimp, mushroom dumplings, hot and sour shredded potatoes, a serving of greens, and a bowl of rice."
The waiter was writing down the order and repeating it over and over.
Lu He nodded.
The waiter said, "Okay, about half an hour."
After the waiter left, Lu He explained to Xu Feiming, "I'm used to living in the North, and my appetite is much larger than it is in the South. We are both from the North, and the portions in state-run restaurants in the South are very small."
Xu Feiming then nodded in realization and said, "So that's how it is."
A short while later, when the dishes were served, Xu Feiming was stunned when he saw the portion size.
This portion is indeed small; this braised pork trotters with soybeans only contains four pieces of pork trotters.
No wonder Lu He said he wanted to order one more dish; Xu Feiming couldn't help but laugh during the meal.
Xu Feiming felt that this amount of food was so large that his monthly salary wouldn't be enough to feed him.
After lunch, I went back to the first floor of the department store to buy eggs and ingredients. There are more supplies in the city, so I could buy more.
Lu He remembered that his sister-in-law liked walnut shortbread, so he went to queue up and bought two boxes.
Then it's just a matter of waiting for the cake to be ready. Once it's almost done, you take it home.
After having lunch with Li Xiaoxiao, Shen Qiaoyue went to Xu Tiande's house to help out.
The He sisters, Shaohua and He Shaohua, are making dumplings and noodles, and they will be eating longevity noodles in their palms later.
Several children were playing in the family compound.
Today is National Day, and many people are out and about to celebrate.
Xiang Shulan and Zhang Dali went back to her parents' home for a vacation. Xia Xiaoli and her husband Li Qingming were off today, so they stayed at a hotel in the city last night.
Li Qingming liked to take Xia Xiaoli out for a good time during his vacations.
Xia Xiaoli was always exhausted by Li Qingming to the point that she couldn't get out of bed the next day.
Li Qingming lay on one side in the hotel, watching his sleeping wife.
He pulled Xia Xiaoli into his arms.
"What should I do? I don't want you to go to Beijing!" Li Qingming really didn't want to be separated from Xia Xiaoli.
In her drowsy state, Xia Xiaoli heard Li Qingming's voice.
"Hmm~" Xia Xiaoli murmured.
Li Qingming leaned down and kissed Xia Xiaoli's neck.
"Wife~" Li Qingming grew to like Xia Xiaoli more and more, and in his eyes, Xia Xiaoli became more and more beautiful.
When Xia Xiaoli was kissed like that, the warm breath brushed against her nose, like insects crawling on it.
"Brother Qingming, I can't bear to part with you either!" Xia Xiaoli has now started to rely on Li Qingming's care, and she lives a very stable and happy life by his side.
Li Qingming asked, "I'm reluctant to part with you, but I support your decision to go."
Xia Xiaoli has a grand dream: to become an excellent doctor. Although she hasn't achieved that goal yet, Li Qingming believes that as long as Xia Xiaoli is willing, she will definitely succeed.
Xia Xiaoli opened her eyes, looked at Li Qingming, and reached out to hold him, comforting him: "I'll only be gone for a month, I'll be back soon. I'll be with Sister Xiaohua, don't worry about me."
"You're not allowed to talk to other guys about anything outside of work," Li Qingming said, hugging Xia Xiaoli tightly.
Xia Xiaoli responded softly, "Yes, in my heart, there is only Brother Qingming."
"Xiaoli, I'll wait for you to come back," Li Qingming said.
"I will miss you," Xia Xiaoli said, and kissed Li Qingming's lips.
"Should I apply for leave to pick you up then?" Li Qingming thought that he should take a break this year.
“You’re the battalion commander, you must be very busy. You can’t neglect your duties just because you’re looking for me!” Xia Xiaoli said to Li Qingming.
Li Qingming didn't say anything; he felt the chances of his application being approved were slim.
After all, he had already taken a break during the National Day holiday, so he definitely couldn't apply for another break.
Xia Xiaoli moved closer, nestling into Li Qingming's arms.
"Xiaoli, you haven't had your period for a month?" Li Qingming remembered that Xia Xiaoli hadn't had her period in September.
Reminded like that, Xia Xiaoli immediately realized what was going on.
Feeling my pulse after the fall, I realized I'd been feeling quite sleepy lately.
Upon touching the pulse, it indeed resembled a slippery pulse.
Xia Xiaoli looked at Li Qingming in surprise.
Remembering that the condom had broken last time, she didn't take any medication, so she figured she might not get pregnant. It had broken several times before without her getting pregnant, so she figured she definitely wouldn't get pregnant this time either.
"What's wrong? Did your night shift get delayed?" Li Qingming asked anxiously, also starting to get nervous.
Xia Xiaoli felt like the sky was falling; she wasn't prepared for getting pregnant.
"It seems to be true." Xia Xiaoli looked at Li Qingming, her face full of surprise and nervousness.
