Although Bai Yeqing and Xia Dabai had requested it, Xia Xingchen had not yet moved into the Presidential Palace. Moving back and forth was not very convenient.
After work, she went shopping in the supermarket alone. When she reached the vegetable section, she picked up a lot of vegetables and threw them into the cart. After she finished picking, she realized that what she had picked were actually the things he and Dabai liked.
She smiled. She didn't eat celery before, but now she picked a lot of it.
Maybe, she loves him and loves everything about him! Even if she doesn't like what he likes, she gradually starts to love it.
Thinking of him, I lowered my head to look at the ring on my finger, and a sweet feeling passed through my heart.
I looked up and searched the shelf for the flour that was empty in the kitchen. I was planning to bake bread for him and the kids during Christmas.
The bread crumbs were placed on a high shelf. Xia Xingchen tried to reach it once but failed, so he stood on tiptoe to reach it again. However, before his fingertips touched the flour, a tall figure approached from behind.
The bread crumbs were taken away easily by a large, bony hand.
Her petite body also fell in front of the man's broad chest.
This smell is so familiar, so familiar that I don't even need to look back to know who is coming.
Turning around, she saw the familiar face—he was wearing a mask as usual, with only his eyes showing. But, just like that, at such a close distance, their eyes met, it still made her heart beat faster. There were so many people in the supermarket, coming and going, but, in that moment, it seemed that he was the only one left in her eyes.
"Why are you here?" She was surprised.
Bai Yeqing didn't answer, but locked his gaze on her. Xia Xingchen was confused by his gaze, and before she could come to her senses, he suddenly took off his mask, and under her astonished eyes, his kiss came suddenly.
She was completely stunned and her mind was blank.
His kiss was carefree, as if he didn't care where they were, or their identities, and only urgently conveyed the strong emotions hovering in his chest. Xia Xingchen had always been unable to resist his kiss, and soon, his mind was in a daze, and he took a step back, being shackled by his tall figure on the shelf behind him.
"Ahem!" Suddenly, a cough sounded. Then, an old lady sighed, "Nowadays, young people are getting bolder and bolder. How can they... Love is love, but you have to consider the place, right?"
Other customers couldn't help laughing. It was obvious that the old lady had expressed their feelings.
Oops.
At this moment, both of them became more sober. Xia Xingchen had always been thin-skinned, and her little face turned red. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to bury herself immediately.
She pushed his shoulder twice before pushing him away a little. His eyes were deep and burning as he looked at her. All kinds of complicated emotions were churning in his eyes, like a deep whirlpool. Once she looked at him, she would be intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
Her breathing became heavier, and she glanced at the old lady next to her. The old lady was carrying a basket and looking at her while shaking her head. She felt more and more embarrassed and dared not see anyone. She tidied herself up and quickly put the mask back on the man's face.
"Let's go, it's embarrassing." She murmured in frustration. She pulled the man's hand and left, even forgetting the cart beside her.
Woo.
He didn't care! Anyway, once the mask was on, everything would be fine. But she felt like she couldn't raise her head.
"Push the cart." Bai Yeqing grabbed her back and took the cart. Compared to her, he was as calm as ever.
Xia Xingchen still felt that the old lady's eyes were scrutinizing them, no, it was the passers-by who just passed by who were looking at them, and she felt like a thorn in her back. In the end, she simply lowered her head, climbed his arm, and pressed her body tightly against him, hiding herself beside him, and walked towards the cashier.
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
miss you…
Three words lingered in my heart. But what came out of my mouth was a simple sentence, "Your friend said you were shopping in the supermarket."
"Don't you really hate shopping in the supermarket? Why did you come in? Why didn't you wait for me outside?" Xia Xingchen talked to him as the two of them pushed the cart and walked out side by side. They were quite similar to other young couples who came to the supermarket. She looked at them, then at herself, and smiled slightly.
Bai Yeqing looked at her smiling face, his heart moved, he stopped and suddenly said: "Xingchen, let's get married!"
The sound is neither high nor low.
"…" Xia Xingchen also paused. After hearing his words, he was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Mr. Bai, you have said this several times. Besides, didn't I agree to it?"
Why are you bringing it up again
She shook the ring on her finger. It was dazzling.
“We’ll go register on Saturday.”
"ah?"
Xia Xingchen was really surprised. Why are you so anxious
"The Civil Affairs Department is closed on Saturday, so I'll have someone make other arrangements for them. That day is the best for us to register."
"..." She was so confused that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time. Bai Yeqing frowned, "Are you rejecting me with this expression?"
She shook her head, "Of course not. But why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Sister Su Ye said..."
"The longer the night, the more dreams you have." Bai Yeqing cut her off. He grabbed her hand and clenched it tightly. "Where is your household registration booklet? Is it with your mother or your father? I'll send someone to get it."
"Oh, at my father's place." Xia Xingchen answered subconsciously.
Bai Yeqing said "hmm" and without waiting for her to say anything else, he made a phone call to give the order.
Xia Xingchen felt like she was dreaming. She had just been proposed to two days ago, and as for the wedding, she thought it would be after the New Year. She never expected that he would suddenly mention the date two days later because of his impulse.
It's not that he didn't want to, it was just too sudden. It was so sudden that she felt it was a little too fast and something was wrong. He was not such an impatient person. Moreover, he was in this position and knew best what the overall situation was and what was the most important thing. He should not have made such a decision.
"Bring all your documents. I've set the time for Saturday at nine o'clock."
Xia Xingchen looked at him inquiringly, and after a while, she asked, "Didn't we agree to wait until after the New Year? Besides, we haven't prepared anything yet..."
"You just need to prepare the documents. We are just registering now, not holding a wedding. We will leave the wedding arrangements after the New Year."
Xia Xingchen was still worried, "You haven't greeted the elders yet, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Just show them the marriage certificate after we're done on Saturday. Anyway, the old man and the old lady have expected that this day would come sooner or later." Nothing is more direct than making things a fait accompli.
