Chapter 54: I'm warning you, don't come in.
Xu Si'an gently flicked her brow: "Qiao Xu, I prepared the engagement ring four years ago, and I even prepared the proposal process."
He even rehearsed how to propose several times with his classmates and friends.
But what I didn't expect was that the breakup came before the proposal.
Qiao Xu held the dog while Xu Si'an pushed the shopping cart: "Want some broccoli?"
Qiao Xu looked at the cream and strawberries in the refrigerator and decided to forget about it.
I now have a psychological aversion to strawberries.
After buying the groceries, Xu Si'an carried the items, while Qiao Xu held an ice cream cone.
After returning to the residential area, Xu Si'an carried his things back to his house.
"Go take a shower before you come back to eat."
When Qiao Xu opened the door and went in carrying the dog, her mother was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The food that had been on the table an hour ago had been cleaned up.
"I'm back."
"Um."
Qiao Xu put down the dog and was about to go back to her room to take a shower when her mother called her back.
"Xuxu, Mom has something to tell you."
Qiao Xu put down the dog: "Mom, there's really no rush to get married. I will get married, but not now."
Qiao's mother: "I didn't mean to rush you. I just wanted to tell you that I'm almost fully recovered and I'll be going back to my hometown in a few days."
Qiao Xu was stunned for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes: "Mom, why don't you stay a little longer? I'm worried about leaving you alone in our hometown."
"What's there to worry about? There are so many neighbors, I have company."
"You'll be completely isolated from the world here."
Qiao Xu said "Oh," and then said, "Then wait until the weekend when I'm off work, and I'll take you home with Xu Si'an."
"OK."
Qiao Xu went back to her room, took a shower, and came out with wet hair.
"Xuxu, you'll never find someone better than Xiao An in your life. Listen to your mother and cherish him."
Knowing that she was going next door, Qiao's mother told her to leave the dog behind so she could come and check on it.
Qiao Xu went next door wearing slippers; the kitchen still smelled of cream and cheese.
The man pulled his black shirt out of his trousers, the sleeves rolled up to his arms, and a little cream splattered on his shirt.
Qiao Xu walked behind him and reached out to hug him.
Xu Si'an paused, then poured the entire bag of pasta into the pot: "Hungry? You'll be able to eat in a bit. I made some broccoli salad, have some to tide you over."
"Xu Si'an".
Xu Si'an turned off the stove, turned around, picked her up, and placed her on the stove next to him.
"Baby, don't feel any pressure about getting married. I've only ever been committed to you, whether we get married sooner or later, it'll always be you."
"I'll wait for the day you say you want to marry me."
"I've already prepared the household registration booklet. As long as you say you want to settle, I'll have people open the door for us to work overtime even on our days off."
Qiao Xu reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck: "These past few years, I've thought of you many nights."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Si'an lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
Qiao Xu's hair was still wet after taking a shower, and water droplets soaked her pajamas.
The location, which shouldn't be so obvious, is now so captivating.
"Ugh————"
"Qiao Qiao~"
"you······"
After a long silence, the man said in a hoarse voice, his eyes bloodshot, "Wife, you've gone too far."
Qiao Xu bit her lip lightly: "Am I being unreasonable?"
"Hmm, you're trying to seduce me."
Xu Si'an picked her up and carried her out of the kitchen: "Wait here obediently for me, otherwise, what I'm making won't be food."
Qiao Xu tugged at the collar of her pajamas: "I didn't do anything, and you react like this just because I said a few honest words."
"You're so useless."
Xu Si'an went to the bathroom to get a clean towel and dried her hair until it was half dry.
"I'm warning you, don't come in."
"Don't go looking for trouble - get to work."
Xu Si'an kissed her lips deeply before going into the kitchen.
I suddenly regret it a little; the open kitchen doesn't even have a door.
He looked down at the tent he had just set up.
Feeling utterly hopeless, I dumped the mushy spaghetti into the trash and took out a new bag from the cupboard.
Qiao Xu ate more than half of the cold broccoli salad on the table before stopping.
A huge portion of cream cheese and shrimp pasta was placed in front of her, along with a cup of strawberry soda.
Have you eaten yet?
She left in anger, so she didn't believe he could still eat.
"without."
"My wife stormed off, I have no appetite."
"You eat first, I'll eat what's left."
Qiao Xu: ...
"Can't you just divide it into two portions?" You have to eat what she leaves behind, right?
She ate the leftover snacks, right?
"I'll blow-dry your hair, you eat first."
Xu Si'an went to get the hair dryer, and while Qiao Xu ate her noodles, he carefully dried her hair.
She had eaten her fill by the time her hair was dry.
There's still more than half a bowl of noodles left, but the broccoli salad is all gone.
Qiao Xu took a couple of sips of soda water to cleanse her palate: "I'm full."
Xu Si'an pulled out the chair next to her, sat down, and picked up the fork she had just put down to continue eating.
"Mr. Xu, didn't that overseas project make money recently? Why are you still so stingy?"
Xu Si'an ate his noodles slowly and deliberately: "I need to save my money to get married. As for filling my stomach, as long as I can eat, that's enough."
Qiao Xu was scrolling through Weibo when she pushed the soda water in front of her towards him.
Eating something so sweet at night is too cloying.
Moreover, Xu Si'an doesn't like sweet things anyway.
"Xu Si'an".
"Um?"
"Does the tattoo on the inside of your arm hurt?"
Xu Si'an raised an eyebrow: "What, you want to get a tattoo too?"
Qiao Xu nodded: "Yes, it's quite pretty. I like it very much."
Xu Si'an took a sip of water, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Thinking about it won't help, it hurts terribly."
"It will hurt for another hour or two."
Qiao Xu grabbed his left hand and took a picture: "I'll change it and get a tattoo that's different from yours."
After Xu Si'an finished eating, he cleaned up the kitchen and saw Qiao Xu sitting on the sofa using a tablet AI to create a design similar to his tattoo.
But it just doesn't look as good as the one he has.
Xu Si'an glanced at her, picked her up and sat her in his lap, then exited the AI page.
"What do you want to be drawn? I'll draw it for you."
Xu Si'an took the smart pen from her hand and opened a drawing app.
Qiao Xu directed Xu Si'an, Lion, Little Sheep, and Violet, all in the same old way.
It's just that the location is different.
The lion is in the center, with the lamb leaning against its back, and violets forming a wreath.
Qiao Xu saved a screenshot of the digital painting: "That's it, President Xu is really multi-talented."
Xu Si'an opened another page and added the image: "You can adjust the colors here. You do it first, I'm going to take a shower."
There's a tough battle ahead, so I'll take a shower first to save some time.
After Qiao Xu perfectly replicated the colors of the tattoo on Xu Si'an's arm, she found a highly-rated tattoo studio on her phone.
After taking a shower, Xu Si'an was wrapped in a white bath towel, and water droplets from her hair slid down her cheeks and stopped at her collarbone.
"Honey, let's digest our food."
"Hmm..."
"Vote now! Midnight update or morning update?!"
