Su Yi called her more and more fluently. When eating, she called her, "Wife, help me get the vinegar." When buying cosmetics, she asked Xu Ruoxing, "Wife, which one is better looking?" When going to the supermarket, she called Xu Ruoxing, "Wife, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Xu Ruoxing had heard it all day yesterday and just tried to correct it, but Su Yi didn't give her a chance. It wasn't a big deal after all, just a title. Besides, they introduced her to others as my wife, my wife, so it wasn't too abrupt. But calling her like that in private did give Xu Ruoxing a wrong impression.

It seems like they really got married for love, it's very sweet.

After coming out of the supermarket, Xu Ruoxing and Su Yi were both carrying two bags, which contained vegetables and fruits for tonight. She was afraid that Su Yi would get tired, so she wanted to take the heavier fruits from her, but Su Yi disagreed: "Let me carry them, they're not heavy either."

She nodded only after seeing that Su Yi did not look like she was struggling.

From the supermarket to their neighborhood, two streets away, maybe because it was hot, there were not many people on the road, only a few children running around, their faces red from the scorching sun, and a gust of hot wind was raised when they passed by them. Xu Ruoxing and Su Yi walked under the tree, in the shade, Su Yi said, "Is it hot?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes drifted towards the milk tea shop next to her. Xu Ruoxing smiled and said, "Want a cold drink?"

Su Yi nodded.

Xu Ruoxing said, "I'll go buy it."

Su Yi stood there, watching Xu Ruoxing put the supermarket bag under the tree and walked to the milk tea shop with her hands covering her face. She shouted, "I want ice!"

Xu Ruoxing turned around: "I know."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Yi. There were four bags at Su Yi's feet. She was fanning her bangs with her right hand. She was no longer as reserved and cold as before. She still remembered that Li Chen once joked, "It's most comfortable to be with your wife in the summer."

She was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Li Chen clapped his hands: "The air conditioner doesn't even need to work! Humanoid refrigerator!"

She was amused, but then she thought, Su Yi is really like that, always when they are together she is cold and aloof, like she is icy. She never gets close to others, nor does she allow others to get close to her. Although communicating with her is not as exaggerated as Li Chen's, it is pretty close.

Su Yi was indeed cold at that time.

"Miss, the total is twenty-three." The clerk pointed to the payment code: "Please pay here."

Xu Ruoxing came back to his senses, scanned the code to pay, and quickly walked to Su Yi. Su Yi took the cold drink and took a sip, then said contentedly: "It's great."

It's pretty good. Su Yi now says whatever he wants, which is much better than before.

At least, she looked much happier.

Su Yi drank half of it, handed the drink to Xu Ruoxing, and said, "Help me hold it, I'll carry it."

She wanted to carry two bags in one hand, but Xu Ruoxing disagreed. She carried two bags and the drink in her left hand. Su Yi carried the heavier bag of vegetables and fruits. Su Yi said, "That's fine."

She finished speaking and shouted, "Wife."

Xu Ruoxing turned her head, and Su Yi walked from Xu Ruoxing's right side to her left side, and lowered her head. Xu Ruoxing saw her raise the drink cup at the right time. Su Yi drank the cold drink from Xu Ruoxing's hand, and the skin of her cheek touched Xu Ruoxing's fingers, and she felt indescribably hot.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is too hot or my cheeks are too hot, or maybe my fingers are just hot.
