Chapter 26 Should we kiss?
Song Xi opened the website crying, entered the information, and placed an order for the same style and size.
As soon as I closed the interface, a call came in. It was my aunt.
Song Xi swiped the phone and answered it.
"Hey, Xier, are you having fun in Beijing? How's your work?" The aunt asked politely first.
Happy, so happy.
Even my husband is settled here.
Song Xi replied obediently, "I had a great time and my work was good. What did you want to talk to me about, Auntie?"
My aunt said, "Your cousin is getting married on the 28th of this month. Come back and attend her wedding. Stay at home for two days. Grandma misses you."
Song Xi then remembered that her cousin Song Yuanyuan got engaged before the New Year. Her family had chosen an auspicious date during the New Year, saying they would get married after the New Year.
She has gotten along well with her cousins over the years, so she will definitely go back for such a big event as her wedding.
"Okay, I'll make time to go home when the time comes," said Song Xi.
"By the way, I want to make a new dress for your cousin's fiancé. The cheongsam craftsmanship in this shop is also very good. Tell me your measurements and I will customize one for you and your cousin." The aunt instructed.
Make clothes for the man?
When Song Xi was a child, her grandmother told her that when two people get married, the woman has to bring a dowry and also make a new set of clothes for the man.
This is a Sioux City tradition.
My grandmother joked at the time that when she got married, she would make the best clothes for her future husband.
Song Xi agreed to her aunt and told her her measurements.
After hanging up the phone, she was still thinking about it.
The custom in Beijing is that the man’s family has to prepare three pieces of gold jewelry for the woman. Jing Zhuo gave them to her when he returned from a business trip to Gangcheng.
Although I have never met each other's parents, I still follow the etiquette.
He even gave her his safe and personal belongings.
Then, in return, she should also make him a suit representing her new husband according to the customs of Suzhou.
Just do it.
Song Xi was embarrassed to ask Jing Zhuo for his measurements, and also wanted to give him a surprise, so she went to the cloakroom and secretly took out a tape measure to measure the size of his daily clothes.
It’s always right to customize according to your daily size.
When she memorized the size and came out, she saw Jing Zhuo sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. When he saw her come out, he cast a clear look at her and closed the book.
"Come and have some water." Jing Zhuo took the initiative to speak and raised his hand to pour her a glass of lemonade.
"The doctor said I should drink more water after the detoxification to speed up my metabolism," he added.
Hearing this, Song Xi turned and went to the living room, sat on the sofa next to him, picked up the cup and took a few sips.
"Thanks."
The lemonade was at just the right temperature and had just the right amount of sweetness and sourness.
It slides into the stomach very comfortably.
Song Xi thought of her dear best friend who was crying out for help.
While drinking water, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Zhang Hening, asking her to drink some lemon water when she woke up.
Zhang Hening had woken up by now and was replying to her incoherently.
Song Xi was so engrossed in the conversation that her typing made loud noises, and the quiet living room was filled with the sound of her typing.
Jing Zhuo leaned on the sofa, quietly watching her typing with her head down, occasionally pursing her lips, forming a beautiful curve.
It shows that she is very happy.
"Do you like your best friend very much?" Jing Zhuo asked her in a break.
Song Xi put away her phone and chatted with him: "Well, we met in high school. At that time, she went to school in Sucheng and we lived in the same dormitory. She would often go back to my grandma's house with me."
"So you're going to live at her house too?"
Song Xi nodded: "Yes, I stayed at her house for a few summers during the summer vacation."
"Have you met her family?"
“Yes.”
"What do you think of her family? Are you used to getting along with them?"
Why is he so interested in her best friend?
Song Xi was a little surprised, but still said: "Her family is very nice. Her father is easy-going, her mother is gentle, and her second brother is also enthusiastic...but her eldest brother is a little fierce."
Jing Zhuo's eyes flickered slightly and he squeezed the glass.
"Been more vicious to you?"
"No." Song Xi shook his head, "I haven't even met her elder brother."
"Then why do you say he's vicious?"
Song Xi said, "I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run, but I've heard of pigs biting people. I've heard that too. My best friend is often scolded by her older brother, who also punishes her by making her do push-ups. When she was in school, he even cut off her living expenses and didn't give her any money for a month. Do you think he's cruel?"
Jing Zhuo: “…”
Are you sure this wasn't done by your bestie?
His words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.
While we were chatting, the phone rang. It was Zhang Hening calling us via video.
Just as Song Xi was about to answer the call, a hand suddenly dropped from above her phone and pressed down on her screen.
"Song Xi, we need to talk." The man whispered over the ringing phone.
"The relationship between you and your bestie is so strong it no longer needs to be nurtured."
Song Xi: "Hmm?"
"But our relationship hasn't progressed at all."
"We are husband and wife, and we will support each other and grow old together in the future."
"As a married woman, shouldn't you be fair and spend some time with me to cultivate our relationship?"
Jing Zhuo took a deep breath and finished speaking: "After all, I've never eaten hot pot with you, chatted for such a long time, or video chatted with you so frequently."
It's as if... he is just a tool.
His sister is Song Xi's husband.
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, then uttered something belatedly.
"Ah...are you jealous, envious, and petty again?"
Jing Zhuo was controlled by her words for several seconds, and suddenly remembered that the last time he was jealous was because of Zhang Hexing, and this time he was jealous because of Zhang Hening.
These brother and sister are really annoying.
Jing Zhuo said "hmm" without changing his expression.
He reminded me, "You have a photo shoot this Saturday afternoon and a location shoot on Sunday, so you're both busy. From now until you go to work this afternoon, this is the only time I can cultivate a relationship with you."
The cell phone is still ringing, which sounds very annoying.
Jing Zhuo turned the phone to silent mode, held the phone upside down, and approached Song Xi's face inch by inch, his warm breath almost spraying on her face.
"Wife."
He called softly, his voice low and hoarse:
"Shall we have a kiss?"
