Chapter 60: 'Cultural People'
Su Yan held a half-eaten tomato in her hand, her mouth bulging, and asked vaguely, "Are there a lot of these specially picked tomatoes?"
He Ji bent down, took a bite of the tomato from her hand, and motioned her to go to the refrigerator herself.
He took a bite of the tomato, and the juice flowed all over his hand. Su Yan frowned and stretched out her hand, "You eat it."
Her disdain was written all over her face. He Ji swallowed the tomato in his mouth and sneered, "I don't know how much saliva I've drunk, and you still dislike this?"
Su Yan: ...
"That's different."
"What's the difference? Aren't they all mine?"
The tomato juice in her hand was about to drip onto the ground. Su Yan was anxious and handed it directly to He Ji's mouth, "Eat it quickly."
He Ji narrowed his eyes, looked at the juice-stained hand, paused for two seconds, and then bit it.
The tomato was bitten away, and the tender white hand wanted to retract it. He Ji smiled silently and reached out to grab it.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Su Yan. In her puzzled look, he spat the tomato into the trash can next to him, then licked the juice on her hand with his tongue.
Su Yan's eyes gradually widened, and she looked at him as if she was looking at a pervert.
By the time he stopped exercising and stood up, Su Yan's hands were already covered with saliva.
She looked at He Ji and then at her own hands, repeatedly, before she let out a cry and ran into the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom and the sound of plastic bottles falling to the ground, and imagining her angry look, He Ji couldn't help laughing.
Su Yan, who was washing her hands in the bathroom, heard his laughter and looked at her angry self in the mirror, becoming even angrier.
After washing her hands, she glanced at He Ji who was humming a little tune, and went to open the refrigerator with a stern face.
The refrigerator was not very big, but it was filled to the brim with tomatoes, cucumbers, and corn, leaving no space at all.
"There are some others, all placed over there."
"This refrigerator is too small. Let's go shopping in a few days and pick out a bigger one."
He Ji prepared all the dishes, turned around and saw her staring at the refrigerator in a daze, and spoke.
The big refrigerator is placed in the new house, and the two small refrigerators here are empty anyway, so I might as well exchange them for money.
Su Yan said "oh", reached out and took out another flat tomato, and looked at it under her eyelids for a long time.
Although these tomatoes are really delicious, she is still curious about how they grow so flat.
"This one must have gotten into the cracks."
He Ji explained the problem to her, then reached out to take the tomato, washed it and dried it before returning it to her.
"Just eat half of it, or you won't be able to eat later."
Su Yan nodded and said okay, then took the tomato and sat on the sofa, but didn't eat it.
She actually still had some questions. In addition to tomatoes, the cucumbers she had just seen were also curly, not at all like those sold outside.
I don’t know if cucumbers are naturally so curly, or if the things his mother grows are just more unique.
After dinner, He Ji turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting, sat on the sofa, reached out and grabbed Su Yan, who was far away from him, into his arms.
"Don't move, or I'll bite you."
He narrowed his eyes and threatened with gritted teeth. Su Yan didn't dare to verify the truth of his words, so she sat obediently and even breathed lightly.
Her body was stretched straight, like a bow with a full string, ready to be released at the slightest touch.
He Ji pinched her waist and pulled her against him, then lay down on the sofa, and Su Yan half lay in his arms.
The air conditioner was blowing cold air, but Su Yan didn't feel hot anymore. She looked at the tissue paper being blown and silently calculated the electricity bill for this month.
Electricity bills are already expensive, and now the air conditioner is set at such a low temperature. She can imagine how heartbroken she will be when paying the electricity bill.
Fortunately, he usually buys the groceries, so she doesn’t have to spend her own money, otherwise she would have no money left in a month.
Thinking of the money in the bedside table, she patted He Ji's arm and said, "It's not safe to keep so much cash at home. Let's put it all into the card tomorrow."
After a pause, she continued, "Deposit it into my card. I will be rich in the future."
"I've given you all my money, so why should I divide it into yours and mine?"
The money in her card was many times more than that in the two red envelopes, but not only did she not care about it, she even kept a close eye on the money.
"Tomorrow I'll go to the bank and get a box of money. When you're done counting it, I'll deposit it into your card. All the money I earn from now on will also be deposited into your card."
Su Yan likes to count money, but she doesn't like to count a pile of money. She is afraid that after she gets tired of counting, she will no longer be interested in it.
"Let's not talk about it. I've counted enough. Let's talk about it later."
"As for the money, you said it's all mine. It doesn't matter whose card it's in."
The cards are all with her, she can spend them whenever she wants, just like her own.
He Ji raised his eyebrows, kissed her, and shook his head, "Silly, you're so tired of counting money."
"I'll give you a card with my number later. If there are any changes to my bank account, a message will be sent to that card. You'll know how much I've spent in the future."
Su Yan exclaimed, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, she looked at him for a long time before slowly shaking her head.
"Don't do that. You'll lose your sense of propriety, and losing your sense of propriety is a terrible thing."
Without a sense of propriety, two people can easily become one. Things that seem normal to you will feel strange when you see others doing the same thing.
Over time, the passion between two people will fade. Without passion, they will feel tired and bored when they exist in the same space.
There were very few people in this world who could truly accept each other completely, and she wasn't sure if they were one of them.
For the sake of their relationship, she felt that she should give him some private space that belonged only to him.
Looking at He Ji's increasingly dark face, Su Yan knew that he didn't think so. She thought about it and changed her words.
"Give me the card. If you want to give me a surprise in the future, I'll know in advance, and then the surprise won't be a surprise anymore."
Although he knew that her words could not completely convince him, He Ji's expression still warmed up.
He pinched Su Yan's waist and chuckled, "People with intellectual talents are different. When it comes to big ideas, they really have a lot of ideas."
Su Yan was so angry about the "cultured people" he mentioned that her face was almost smoking.
She only graduated from high school, so she really can't be called a "cultured person".
Although she thought so, He Ji didn't think so. In his eyes, who had not even graduated from junior high school, she could really be considered educated.
"Since you don't have anything to do at home, how about I open a shop for you and become your boss?"
