At this moment, he even had the illusion that they were already an old couple.
The window was open, and the cool breeze from the outside brought petals of gardenia in, floating through Ni Cuihuaâs hair.
Just like any rural woman, her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, it didnât seem tacky at all. A strand of hair fell from her forehead, elegant and virtuous.
Donât laugh at her for going gray; time doesnât defeat beauty.
The âwildâ cells inside Shangguan Dehui that had been stagnant for years were stirring again, but he had to suppress them.
This time, he couldnât scare her off, no matter what.
The tension between them gradually eased.
Being with Shangguan Dehui made Ni Cuihua feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation, their conversation also became more casual.
Ni Cuihua said, âAre you really a teacher now?â
Ni Cuihua, who didnât know the truth before, thought Shangguan Dehui was quite suitable to be a teacher, but now⌠she always felt something was off.
âReally.â Shangguan Dehui continued, âAfter returning to the city, I got into college, then I continued to pursue my masterâs and doctoral degrees, and finally stayed in school to teach.â
Even he didnât expect that the once leader of Sijiu City would become a teacher.
Time is indeed a magical thing.
Ni Cuihua jokingly said, âDoesnât your principal fear you might mislead the disciples?â
Shangguan Dehui replied, âDaya, you shouldnât be prejudiced! I have rehabilitated a long time ago. Thereâs a saying, isnât there, âA prodigal who returns is more precious than gold!ââ
Ni Cuihua looked at him and refuted, âShangguan Dehui, donât forget thereâs also a phrase, âLeopards never change their spots.ââ
ââŚâ
Petals were scattered all over the courtyard, and the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas.
At noon, Ni Cuihua prepared a feast.
She originally intended to roast a chicken, but since she was unsure of controlling the temperature of the bake house, she decided to marinate it for Ni Yang to roast when she returns in the evening.
..
Today marks the first month since the restaurantâs opening, Ni Yang was still spectating at the restaurant.
The business has been operating for a month, and with enthusiastic service and delicious dishes, the restaurant had a lot of loyal fans and returning customers.
Yet, there was only one VIP customer.
âYangyang!â A male voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Ni Yang looked back and saw Chen Zhicang who was holding a bouquet of bright red roses.
âMr. Chen.â
âThis is for you.â Chen Zhicang handed the roses to Ni Yang, âThe Westerners believe that roses symbolize love and sincere, pure affection.â
Ni Yang didnât reach out to accept them, âIâm sorry, I already have a boyfriend.â
Previously, she accepted Chen Zhicangâs flowers because of the restaurantâs grand opening, hoping for good luck.
However, itâs different today. Chen Zhicang had made it clear that roses stand for sincere, pure love.
In these circumstances, if Ni Yang continued to accept his flowers, it could easily be taken the wrong way.
Chen Zhicang argued, âI know you have a boyfriend, youâve already told me. But having a boyfriend doesnât mean I canât give you flowers!â And nothing stops him from pursuing her.
He simply doesnât believe that Ni Yangâs boyfriend could be any better than he is!
In terms of looks, he is not bad, he had countless foreign women chasing after him when he was abroad.
As for background, he comes from a reputable family in Beijing.
Choosing a potential partner is all about looks and background, right?
With both in his favor, what could Ni Yang possibly be discontented with?
That was why, on the day the restaurant opened, Chen Zhicang boldly bet that he would win Ni Yang over!
Ni Yang replied, âBut I canât accept it.â
âWhy? Iâve said I donât mind.â Chen Zhicang was somewhat puzzled.
Ni Yang was indifferent, âBut I do.â
âWhat are you concerned about?â Chen Zhicang was confused.
If he didnât mind, what was there for Ni Yang to worry about? Being concerned about having another suitor?
And donât women usually feel more superior the more suitors they have?
Why couldnât he see any superiority on Ni Yangâs face?
Ni Yang continued, âBecause my boyfriend would be jealous.â
Chen Zhicang asked, âSo you are not accepting these flowers?â
Ni Yang shook her head, âMr. Chen, you donât need to waste your time on me, because I really love my boyfriend very much.â
Chen Zhicang nonchalantly said, âYou love yours, and I pursue mine. Romantic freedom is now the norm and no one can interfere with me. Besides, having an extra suitor gives you another option, I think thatâs pretty good! Times have changed, thereâs no need for girls to be so conservative!â
