It's 10:30!
Ni Sitian quickly removed Xu Tingchuan's hand from her waist, jumped out of bed, and while putting on her clothes, shouted in a huff, "Get up right now!"
Xu Tingchuan reached out and pulled her back onto the bed, wrapping his arms around her waist as he lazily asked, "Why the rush?"
How could she not be anxious? They had agreed to have lunch at the old house at noon, and it was her first formal visit to the parents' home, and she was going to be late!
"Let go!" Ni Sitian grabbed Xu Tingchuan's arm and shouted anxiously, "We're going to be late, stop messing around!"
Seeing how anxious she was, Xu Tingchuan released her waist and smiled, "You're bound to be late. It's about an hour and a half drive from here to the old house."
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier yesterday!" Ni Sitian's eyes widened.
"You really don't need to be so nervous." Xu Tingchuan got out of bed and patted her head.
Ni Sitian was a little angry. He knew perfectly well that she had been preparing diligently for meeting her in-laws yesterday, yet he deliberately made her late.
Her eyes reddened with anger, and she turned and walked towards the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
Xu Tingchuan didn't expect her to react so strongly. He quickly walked to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and said softly, "I was just kidding. I'll be there in half an hour."
As Ni Sitian brushed her teeth, her eyes reddened even more upon hearing Xu Tingchuan's words.
Knowing full well that she was nervous, he still deliberately lied to her, which makes his crime even more serious!
Xu Tingchuan opened the door, peeked inside, and saw that Ni Sitian's eyes were red. He immediately went over, put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?"
Ni Sitian didn't want to talk to him, but she was in a hurry, so she didn't waste any more words with him and pointed to his toothbrush.
Xu Tingchuan realized what was happening and immediately got water to brush his teeth and wash his face.
The two quickly washed up, changed their clothes, grabbed the gifts they had prepared the day before, and went out.
From upstairs to the garage, Ni Sitian ignored him completely, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Once in the car, he slipped a bottle of milk and two steamed cakes into Ni Sitian's arms, saying gently, "Don't go hungry even if you're angry with me."
Ni Sitian looked down at it, picked it up, opened it, and ate it.
Seeing that she was willing to eat what he gave her, Xu Tingchuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and started the car.
After Ni Sitian finished eating one, she realized that Xu Tingchuan's stomach was the one that truly couldn't go hungry, so she handed him the other one.
Seeing that he was driving with both hands, I had no choice but to take them back.
"You eat." Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly. He felt that it was enough that she cared about him like this.
Ni Sitian lowered her head to open the cake, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and brought the cake to Xu Tingchuan's lips, saying stiffly, "Open your mouth."
Xu Tingchuan obediently opened his mouth, took a bite, and smiled faintly, as if he had eaten honey.
Ni Sitian then put the milk straw to his mouth and let him drink.
After repeating this several times, the cake was finished and the milk was gone.
Ni Sitian turned her head away and looked out the window, ignoring him.
Xu Tingchuan held the steering wheel with one hand and took her hand with the other, gently kneading it in his palm. He said softly, "It's my fault, don't be angry, okay?"
Ni Sitian tried to pull her hand away from his, but he held it tightly.
She looked down at his large hand, grabbed it, and took a bite.
The bite was a bit heavy; when he released it, Xu Tingchuan had two rows of red teeth marks on the back of his hand.
Ni Sitian felt relieved, her expression softened a bit, but her tone was a little awkward: "Don't make jokes like that again."
Xu Tingchuan knew she had forgiven him, so he tightened his grip on her hand.
Looking at the gleaming teeth marks, Ni Sitian couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt?"
"If you blow on it, it won't hurt anymore." After being forgiven, Xu Tingchuan took advantage of the situation.
Ni Sitian rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
