Wei Mingshen smoothed out the seams of his trousers with his hand. "How could you possibly find out if someone who has served in the military were to try to escape?"
Su Xueli was completely convinced: "Yes, yes, you are a retired special forces soldier."
He complained, "I even went to tell you and looked for you all over the place, only to find you had already slipped away."
Wei Mingshen laughed and said, "Silly girl, do you think I'd just sit here and wait to die? Alright, get up now. I was just worried you'd be overthinking things, so I came before dawn. I'll come over after your mother leaves, so you can see me and feel at ease."
Su Xueli pouted: "Don't flatter yourself."
What I was really thinking was: You're so thoughtful.
She suddenly pulled the blanket over herself and burrowed into the bed. She was only wearing a thermal undershirt, and her chest was bulging.
"Get out of here, I'm getting dressed," she told him.
Wei Mingshen glanced at her, obediently said "Oh," and got up to stride out.
Su Xueli quickly put on her clothes and came out to see Wei Mingshen doing morning exercises in the yard. His handsome movements almost made her fall for him again.
She forced herself to turn her eyes away and go wash up. After washing up, she said to him, "You must not have eaten since you left so early. Come and eat."
Wei Mingshen finished his training and came over. He said to Su Xueli, "Zhang Chi has successfully broken up Cui Huabiao and Yan Yan. The next step is to propose to Yan Yan."
Su Xueli said, "I heard from my mother last night that Yan Yan is having a hard time. She asked my mother if she could find me after hearing about my divorce, but my mother didn't tell her. I told my mother yesterday to go home and tell Yan Yan. I don't know if Yan Yan will come over today."
Wei Mingshen said, "As long as she knows you're here, she'll definitely come looking for you. But you still have to keep your appointment today."
Su Xueli glanced at him and said, "Then how about I make an excuse that I have something to do and don't attend Teacher He's birthday party?"
Wei Mingshen shook his head: "That won't do. One cannot break one's promise to others; that's the bottom line of being a decent human being."
Su Xueli knew him well; he never broke his promises and hated untrustworthy people the most.
She just laughed and said, "I was just kidding. Teacher He is a very trustworthy person. How could I stand him up?"
Wei Mingshen asked, "Since it's someone's birthday, what gift are you planning to give them?"
Su Xueli was truly stumped by his question and began to worry: "What should I buy for him? Sigh, this is really difficult. What should I buy for him?"
He's a teacher, should I buy him a pen? Or a notebook? But that sounds like a gift for a student, not an appropriate gift for an adult.
But he's not my boyfriend, so I can't buy him clothes or shoes.
Su Xueli had bought things for Wei Mingshen in her previous life, but he didn't care about them anymore, so she didn't dare to buy them for him again. She really had no experience with this.
She finally looked at Wei Mingshen and asked, "You're a man too, what do you think would be appropriate for me to buy for him?"
Wei Mingshen raised an eyebrow and asked, "You really don't know what to buy?"
Su Xueli said earnestly, "I really don't know."
Wei Mingshen said, "No need to buy."
"No need to buy anything, am I going empty-handed?"
“Did I tell you to go empty-handed? It would be much more appropriate for you to make him a straw gift. It would be both sincere and unique. He even helped you find this house, so you should give him a thoughtful gift in return.”
Su Xueli's eyes lit up. "Wei Mingshen, you're really smart! So, what hairstyle do you suggest I give him?"
Wei Mingshen narrowed his eyes: "You're asking me that?"
