"Wife." Sun Xingyan stood in the shop, looking around, and excitedly called out his heartfelt words.
"Hmm?" Xia Baozhu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this form of address.
"Oh, Baozhu, your shop is so well decorated! Your design is amazing! You're so talented!" Sun Xingyan quickly changed his tune and praised her enthusiastically.
He needs to change his sharp tongue; everything about his wife should be good, and he should praise her lavishly.
Xia Baozhu gave Sun Xingyan two hamburgers and a cup of sugar-free milk tea.
"How about trying the new product?"
"Baozhu, come eat with me." Sun Xingyan, sitting in the chair by the window, called out loudly to Xia Baozhu.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, and there were two or three customers in the restaurant. Upon hearing this, they curiously glanced between Sun Xingyan and Xia Baozhu.
Since agreeing to be Sun Xingyan's girlfriend, Xia Baozhu has always felt in a rather awkward atmosphere, perhaps because she is not yet used to the change in the way the two of them interact.
Just like newlyweds who get married without dating, even though they've established a relationship, they always feel awkward and unnatural when they're together.
After dinner, Sun Xingyan went and bought a motorcycle.
The black motorcycle looked cool, but it didn't even have a windshield, and he was freezing cold riding it back at high speed.
It's mainly the chest area, where the cold wind tries every means to get in and warm itself.
To look good, Sun Xingyan wore a thin down jacket with a zipper, which made it easy for wind to get in.
So he went back to the mall and bought a thick woolen coat.
Sedans are still better. Even if a car is ugly, buying one is still better than riding a motorcycle in the freezing cold.
However, you can't just buy a car on a whim, so the options for purchasing a car are relatively limited at this time.
At that time, the car purchase control and approval system had not yet been abolished, and buying a car was not an easy task.
Even if a private individual has the funds, they still need to obtain a "quota" through various connections, then travel back and forth to multiple departments to get stamps and signatures, pay various taxes and fees, and only through connections can they register the vehicle.
Even though Sun Xingyan was anxious, he could only drive the motorcycle for the time being.
When Xia Baozhu got off work in the evening, Sun Xingyan helped her clean up the tables and chairs.
"Baozhu, would you like to go see a movie or go to the ice rink later?"
Sun Xingyan's question was quite clever. He didn't ask Xia Baozhu if she wanted to go, but rather made it a choice between two options, implying that she had to choose one.
"Let's watch a movie." Xia Baozhu hadn't seen a movie since she came here, even though she had seen many of them before. It would be nice to rewatch them.
Xia Baozhu wanted to ride her own motorcycle, but Sun Xingyan stopped her.
"Baozhu, sit behind me."
Xia Baozhu hesitated.
"Hurry up and get on." Sun Xingyan reached out and pulled Xia Baozhu over. "Let's hurry, we can still make it."
Perhaps due to the higher levels of static electricity in winter, Xia Baozhu felt a jolt of electricity the moment they touched hands.
She sat down behind Sun Xingyan, holding his clothes with both hands.
"You have to hold on to me, this car is going fast." Sun Xingyan forcefully pulled Xia Baozhu's hand in front of him, but Xia Baozhu pulled it back and still held onto his clothes.
“We’re all wearing helmets, so no one can see us.” Sun Xingyan thought Xia Baozhu was embarrassed to be seen by others.
Actually, Xia Baozhu wasn't used to such intimate behavior.
She is still in a period of confusion.
Huh? I have a boyfriend? How should we get along?
She's had a boyfriend before, but never one like this. Who wants to get married and discuss a wedding house as soon as they start dating?
Isn't it all about developing feelings step by step and gradually building up a relationship? Do we have to start with such a sophisticated way of getting along right away?
In this respect, she and Sun Xingyan were not on the same wavelength, and she found it difficult to resonate with some of his words.
But she wasn't one to nitpick, and she readily accepted Sun Xingyan's invitation.
Sun Xingyan was somewhat disappointed by Xia Baozhu's resistance, and he also knew that becoming fat wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
He believed that with his efforts, Baozhu would eventually accept him completely.
"Brother Sun, it's been a long time!"
At the entrance of the movie theater, a girl who once had a crush on Sun Xingyan came out arm in arm with a young man. Upon seeing Sun Xingyan, she exclaimed with delight.
"Meili, long time no see. You're out to the movies with your boyfriend too." Sun Xingyan said, extending his arm to shake hands with Wang Meili's boyfriend. "Hello."
Wang Meili looked Xia Baozhu up and down, then hesitantly pointed to the two people: "Boss lady, you and Brother Sun?"
"Yes, Baozhu finally agreed to be my girlfriend!"
Sun Xingyan put his arm around Xia Baozhu's shoulder and hugged her tightly as if asserting his ownership.
Xia Baozhu smiled at the two people opposite her in a cooperative manner.
"Congratulations, Brother Sun."
Wang Meili's boyfriend also knew Xia Baozhu. One of his friends loved going to a fried chicken restaurant and would go there every day, even if it meant cutting back on his own spending. His intentions were obvious.
I wonder if his friend will be heartbroken when he finds out that the boss's wife has a boyfriend?
He sized up Sun Xingyan. Although handsome, he had a roguish air about him and didn't seem like an honest and upright person. He hoped that the landlady wouldn't regret choosing such a person in the future.
Looking back at Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan as they entered the movie theater, Wang Meili felt a pang of sadness.
She knew that Sun Xingyan had high standards and looked down on this and that. She had even been jealous of others for his sake, but she never expected that he would eventually choose a divorced woman.
It's true that men always prefer the most beautiful one and don't care about her other qualities at all.
Upon entering the movie theater, Xia Baozhu whispered, "Your arm is too heavy, take it off."
"It's not heavy, is it? My arm weighs less than fifty pounds." Sun Xingyan was not willing to miss such a good opportunity to get close, so he put in extra effort.
What a joke! His wife can carry a 200-pound sandbag like it's nothing, so carrying him would be a piece of cake. How much could a mere arm weigh?
"It's inconvenient to walk like this." Xia Baozhu subtly nudged Sun Xingyan, but Sun Xingyan refused to back down.
"Baozhu, look over there."
Xia Baozhu looked in the direction Sun Xingyan pointed and saw a couple chatting face to face, their hands on each other's shoulders.
She didn't think anything of it; she had seen far more daring situations than this, but that didn't mean she would imitate it.
Seeing that Xia Baozhu remained calm, Sun Xingyan lowered his arm and took her hand.
"Is this alright now?"
Xia Baozhu felt the temperature was different from her own and didn't offer any further opinions.
The next movie shown was "Project Eagle".
The movie was funny and witty, and Xia Baozhu watched it attentively. It wasn't until the end credits that she realized her hand and Sun Xingyan's hand had never been separated.
After sending Xia Baozhu home, Sun Xingyan finally returned to his own home.
"Where have you been since you were discharged today?" Professor Sun asked, waiting for his son at home.
"Of course I'm going on a date," Sun Xingyan replied matter-of-factly as he took off his coat.
"Are you sure you want to marry that female boss?" Professor Sun glared at his son.
“I’m sure!” Sun Xingyan changed into slippers, strolled over to the sofa and sat down, next to his mother who didn’t want to talk to him.
"As long as you don't regret it." Professor Sun got up and went back to his room.
He can't control his second son; he's been spoiled rotten by his mother. Let his mother take care of him.
