Chapter 133 Perfectionism
The day before returning home, Pei Song and Shi Yanchen went to visit Pei's mother again.
It was springtime in M City at the end of April, and the teaching building of the Art History Department looked particularly solemn under the warm sunshine.
Pei's mother was preparing for the afternoon class in the studio. When she saw the two people come in, a happy smile immediately broke out on her face.
"Mom," Pei Song walked up and handed over a cup of freshly bought coffee, "We are going back tomorrow."
Mother Pei took the coffee and looked at him tenderly: "You've only been here for a short time, but you're leaving now?"
"Well, there are still many things to deal with at the company." Pei Song said, lowering his head a little embarrassedly, "But, there is something I want to tell you."
Shi Yanchen walked to Pei Song and gently held his hand: "Auntie, we have submitted our marriage application at the City Hall."
Pei's mother was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red: "Really?"
"You will get the certificate in three months," Shi Yanchen said, "and we will come to see you then."
"Okay, okay," Mother Pei wiped her eyes, "I'm really happy that you can get to this point." She held their hands, "I'll ask you to take care of Songsong from now on."
"Don't worry," Shi Yanchen said seriously, "I will take good care of him."
After more than ten hours of flight, the two finally returned to City C.
"Let's go pick up MAX first," Shi Yanchen said, "it must be waiting anxiously."
As soon as I entered the Pei family's yard, I heard MAX's excited cry.
It rushed out like a black lightning and threw itself directly into Pei Song's arms, making a whimpering sound.
"Missed me." Pei Song squatted down and let MAX rub against him.
MAX wagged his tail, his eyes sparkling, as if he wanted to pour out all the longing he had felt for the past half month.
It first sniffed Pei Song's clothes carefully, then rubbed his face with its wet nose, and finally pressed its entire body against him, wishing it could get into its owner's arms.
Shi Yanchen smiled and said, "Hey, I'm back too."
MAX then reluctantly left Pei Song and rubbed against Shi Yanchen's feet, but soon ran back to Pei Song, sometimes pulling his hand and sometimes biting the corner of his clothes, fearing that he would leave again.
"Aunt Zhang." Pei Song took out the set of high-end baking tools from the trunk, "I brought this for you from Country D."
"Oh, that's too expensive." Aunt Zhang took the exquisite baking tools and couldn't let them go.
Shi Yanchen went to the study with two bottles of expensive red wine.
Pei's father was reviewing documents. When he saw him come in, he put down his pen and asked, "Are you back?"
"Uncle, this is what Songsong picked for you." Shi Yanchen put the wine on the table. "He looked it up for a long time and said it was ice wine from the most famous Weihenstephaner winery in Bavaria, from 1981. It's hard to buy in the whole country D now."
Father Pei glanced at the wine label and his eyes lit up: "Weihenstephaner? This is the oldest winery in the world, with a history of nearly a thousand years."
He picked up the bottle and examined it carefully: "This year is indeed very special. It is said that there was a rare heavy snowfall in Bavaria that year. The grapes were naturally frozen at a temperature of minus 8 degrees Celsius, and the yield was extremely rare."
"This is what I prepared for you." Shi Yanchen took out a crimson cigar box from his briefcase. "There is a century-old cigar shop in the old town of M City. The owner has a collection of Davidoff cigars from the 1970s.
Dom
Pérignon. Each one is hand-rolled with the finest Dominican tobacco and stored in cedar boxes that have been aged in cognac barrels. "
Father Pei opened the wooden box and gently stroked the eight beautifully packaged cigars.
Each one is carefully wrapped with a ribbon, exuding a light cedar scent and the mellow aroma of aged tobacco leaves.
"You two are both good kids." He stood up and placed the wine and cigars solemnly into the bookcase, carefully adjusting their positions.
When leaving Pei's house, MAX couldn't wait to get into the car, fearing that the two owners would leave it behind again.
"You two wait for me for a moment." Shi Yanchen parked the car aside when passing by a large bookstore in the city center.
Pei Song was playing a high-five game with MAX in the back seat and responded casually: "Okay."
Shi Yanchen walked into the bookstore and went straight to the most secluded corner of the living area.
"Two Boys' First Exploration", "Intimate Guide for Newbies: Enjoy Every Second", "Beginner's Guide from Zero Basics: From Holding Hands to Rushing to the Stars and the Sea"... He selected them carefully, flipping through the catalog from time to time.
In the medical area, he picked up a few more books, including "Secrets of the Male Body: From an Anatomical Perspective", "Tender Moments in Intimate Relationships: A Compulsory Course for 0 and 1", and "A Lifetime with You: The Secret to Happiness for Loving Couples", and went to the checkout counter with satisfaction.
After asking the clerk to pack it in an opaque bag, he pondered for a moment and turned back to the living area.
"Newlywed Life Handbook: Build a Warm Home with Him", "The Little World of Two: From Falling in Love to Staying Together"......
"Mr. Shi?" A familiar voice came from behind me when I was selecting the second batch of books.
Mr. Li of the Li Group looked at the marriage book in Shi Yanchen's hand with surprise and joy: "Is Mr. Shi married? How come I didn't hear any news before?"
Shi Yanchen smiled and responded: "It has not been made public yet, but I have already submitted a marriage application in Country D."
"Oh, which daughter is so blessed?" Mr. Li came closer with a curious look.
"He is a special boy." Shi Yanchen raised a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth, "He cooks delicious food and has a good personality. We have known each other for many years."
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "No wonder, no wonder..." Looking at the happiness that could not be hidden in Shi Yanchen's eyes, he felt like he had eaten a big mouthful of dog food.
"Well..." Mr. Li laughed dryly, "I suddenly remembered that I have a meeting, so I'm leaving now. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Looking at Mr. Li's fleeing back, Shi Yanchen chuckled and went to pay the bill with the book in his arms.
Back in the car, Pei Song was still teasing MAX and didn't notice that he quietly put the book into the trunk.
After returning to Heguangli and packing their luggage, Shi Yanchen immediately went into the study and looked through the books.
As a perfectionist, he hopes to give Pei Song the best experience.
At this moment, Pei Song was still playing with MAX, completely unaware that his fiancé was "studying" seriously for him.
MAX was keenly aware of Shi Yanchen's abnormality, and looked towards the study with a puzzled look from time to time, but was soon attracted by Pei Song's toys.
Shi Yanchen looked at the thick medical monograph "Complete Interpretation of Male Physiological Reactions" in his hand, and his brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a mosquito to death.
"Damn it, who invented these professional terms?" He looked at the densely packed difficult terms in the book and opened the translation app on his phone, "Should this word be pronounced as hé?"
dào or hé
dǎo. "
The next chapter, "A Talk on Physiological Structure", gave him a headache: "...what are these anatomical images with all these circles and circles? Can't they be drawn more clearly?" He casually typed in the search engine: "Where is the most easy-to-understand explanation of the human body structure?"
Especially when reading the part about sensitive reactions, the president of SNK sat in front of the computer, as serious as if he was studying a plan for a 100 billion project: "What changes will there be in physiological state..." He recorded the key points in his notebook in a serious manner, "What to pay attention to..."
"No, this one is too general." He pulled out the "Incomplete Guide for Beginners" from the pile of books, "Hmm... this chapter is quite detailed."
This genius student, who holds a Ph.D. in computer science from one of the world's top universities, is now putting all his energy in studying code into "human body research."
In order to give his future lover the best first experience, he couldn't wait to master this new subject.
