The Sweetest Thing In the World - Chapter 81
On days when she doesn’t have to go to work, Min Yue will be lazy and sleep until she wakes up naturally, but early on Saturday morning, Min Yue is woken up by the doorbell.
Sleepy-eyed, he crawled out of the bed, scratched his head, walked to the entrance with his slippers on, opened the door, and his eyes lit up.
Holding a bouquet of carnations in his arms, Xu Mai smiled and said, “Are you awake?”
Min Yue suddenly opened her sleepy eyes: “I didn’t wake up just now, but now I saw Master, I woke up.”
Xu Mai seldom dresses up, always in a white coat, with a loosely tied ponytail, showing off his bare face, but his foundation is really good, and he is still so beautiful that people can’t take his eyes off it.
Today she specially dressed up, carefully painted her eyebrows, applied a light-colored lip gloss, her skin was flawless and clear, bathed in the morning light, her whole face was shining brightly.
Even though they have been together for more than half a year, every time they see Xu Mai, Min Yue’s heart still beats.
The feeling of heartbeat is especially obvious today, because Xu Mai is wearing a casual suit, which is the one in the photo on the recommendation form. Min Yue liked it so much that she blushed and dared not look directly at her.
Min Yue looked away and took a few steps back. Xu Mai walked in with the flowers in his arms, and his high-heeled shoes stepped on the tiles, making a nice sound.
Min Yue squatted down, opened the shoe cabinet, and while helping her find slippers, secretly glanced at her.
She stepped on black leather shoes with bare feet, with stiletto heels about seven or eight centimeters high, arching her fair insteps high. The suit pants were straight and slim, making her legs straight and slender. The long dark gray coat was unbuttoned and left open naturally, revealing the top of the same style as the suit pants.
Being close at hand, Min Yue could see clearly this time, the dark lines on the suit were thin silver-gray lines, which crisscrossed and criss-crossed, making her look more handsome.
Xu Mai put the pink carnation in her bosom on the shoe cabinet, stretched out her long arm, revealing a white shirt cuff, and wore a watch on her left wrist with a white belt, which almost blended with her skin color. The dial is inlaid with broken diamonds, which emit a fine light with her movements.
Min Yue looked straight.
“Isn’t it suitable?” Seeing that she was staring at him blankly, Xu Mai turned the wrist watch slightly worriedly.
After all, it was the first time to visit the two elders at home, and the dress should be dignified and decent, so as to leave a good impression, so I wore a suit, but it might be too much, and it looked heavy.
Min Yue waved her hands again and again: “No, no, Master looks good in anything.”
After a pause, Min Yue bit her lower lip, her little face was flushed, and her eyes showed fascination. “Today is very beautiful.”
Xu Mai smiled lightly and felt relieved.
Pang Pang jumped onto the shoe cabinet and stretched his neck to sniff the carnations. Xu Mai quickly blocked its head, touched its pink nose with his fingertips, and taught: “This bouquet of flowers is very important, be good and don’t make trouble.”
Pangpang seemed to understand, put away his fat belly, sat down, stopped harassing the delicate flowers, and touched Xu Mai’s hand with his head to show his intimacy.
While rubbing its head, Xu Mai turned to Min Yue and said, “Go wash and change clothes, we have to go out early.”
“Ah?” Min Yue glanced at the watch on the wall, “It’s not even nine o’clock. If there’s no traffic jam, it’s enough to go to my parents’ place for an hour. Now they probably just went out to buy groceries, so we’ll start later also.”
“Go to have breakfast first, then go shopping and do some shopping.” Xu Mai explained.
“No need, Master, they told you not to bring presents.”
“Well, just buy something simple.” Xu Mai responded with a smile.
After Min Yue finished washing, she took out a white woolen skirt from the closet, with a camel sweater on her upper body and a beige mid-length coat on top. They are all clothes I bought when I was studying, but they are of good quality. They haven’t faded and look old after so many years. Min Yue is reluctant to throw them away and continues to wear them.
Stuffing Pangpang into the cat backpack, Min Yue sat on the shoe changing stool, put on the fluffy short boots, stood up straight, and looked at herself in the full-length mirror.
Hmm… Min Yue pinched her chin in distress, she must be too student-like.
Turning to look at Xu Mai, who was dressed in elite clothes, by contrast, this feeling was even stronger. No, no, I must buy new clothes.
The cat space bag is similar to a school bag, the difference is that there is an arc-shaped transparent space cover on the back cover, which is convenient for curious cats to observe the outside scenery.
Min Yue picked up the cat bag and glanced at the full-length mirror again. She looked more like a student carrying a school bag to school. She turned her head and asked timidly, “Master, do I look childish?”
She was already a few centimeters shorter than Xu Mai. Xu Mai was wearing eight centimeter high heels, and she was wearing flat boots. The height difference suddenly stretched to more than ten centimeters.
The little apprentice raised his head high, the tip of his nose just reached his shoulder, and the soft hair on the top of his head swirled towards him. The hair was fluffy and looked easy to touch.
Xu Mai raised his hand, rubbed her head naturally, and said affectionately: “You are very cute.”
Xu Mai’s fingertips were slightly cool, and Min Yue shrank her neck, being coaxed to be happy, and laughed.
After eating at the breakfast restaurant at the gate of the community, Xu Mai drove to the shopping mall in the CBD. Just after ten o’clock, the shops opened one after another, and Xu Mai led Min Yue to visit each house.
Min Yue hadn’t gone shopping for a long time, she was so novel, she flipped through her clothes and found that the style was not bad, she took another look at the tag, uh, excuse me.
Why do spring clothes sell as expensive as winter clothes with so little fabric? Robbing money?
Min Yue stopped looking around and concentrated on walking behind Xu Mai’s buttocks. Seeing that she seemed to want to buy it, she reminded in a low voice, “Master, this store is very expensive.”
“Well, a little bit.” Xu Mai responded softly, and continued to look at the chiffon shirt in his hand, the elegant style, bright red, not her style of dressing, but suitable for a middle-aged lady.
“What size does Auntie wear, is M acceptable?” Xu Mai asked suddenly.
“She has gotten a little fat in recent years, but it seems that the M can still be worn, and the L is too big.” After Min Yue finished speaking, she suddenly realized something: “Master, you are not going to buy clothes for my mother, are you? “
Xu Mai held up the shirt and confirmed, “Will she like this one?”
Min Yue glanced at the hang tag, very good, half a month’s salary. Snatching it over and hanging it back to its original position, Min Yue smiled and said, “I don’t like it at all.”
“Then this one…” Xu Mai reached for another style.
“Do you like it or not? She is very picky when buying clothes, so she must try them on repeatedly.” Min Yue quickly grabbed her hand, pulled her out, walked to a place far away from the store, and then told the truth : “Master, you really don’t need to buy gifts for them, it’s too expensive, just do what you want.”
“Well, don’t buy expensive ones.” Xu Mai nodded in agreement.
The two continued to go shopping, and Min Yue soon discovered that the expensive in her concept and the expensive in Xu Mai’s concept seemed to be an order of magnitude different.
Xu Mai wanted to buy a massage chair, but Min Yue said that their waists and legs were too good to use; he also wanted to buy a dishwasher, but Min Yue said the kitchen was too small to fit it; afterward, he wanted to buy ganoderma and deer antler, and Min Yue wailed, saying that our family is all Western medicine , do not like to eat Chinese herbal medicines.
After shopping for an hour, I couldn’t find anything. Min Yue kept thinking of excuses to stop her. She was so tired that her brain was smoking, and she still had a chubby body on her back. It was like running ten kilometers with a heavy load. The physical exertion was huge.
“Master, don’t go shopping, let’s go, we won’t be able to catch lunch any later.” Min Yue looked at her pitifully.
“it is good.”
Seeing how readily she agreed, Min Yue happily unloaded the cat bag and put it on the ground. “Then I’ll go to the bathroom, and when I come out, we’ll go.”
“Go.”
When her figure disappeared at the corner of the corridor, Xu Mai picked up the space bag without hesitation and walked in the opposite direction. He entered the jewelry store first, and then entered the red hotel. In less than five minutes, he returned to the original place with the two extra shopping bags.
On weekends, office workers and students come out to hang out, and as noon approaches, more and more people come to shop. There was a long queue in the corridor in front of the bathroom door, Xu Mai waited and watched, and found that Min Yue didn’t come out so soon, so he turned his back and walked to the side, standing and waiting.
Because he bought a suitable gift and relieved his burden, Xu Mai was in a relaxed mood, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he was peaceful and happy. Wherever he stopped, it was a beautiful scenery.
She was holding the cat bag with one hand, and her chubby face was exposed through the space window, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
When Min Yue came out, she turned a corner and saw Xu Mai in the crowd. The beauty is so quiet, yet so conspicuous, like a crane left alone in the world.
Pedestrians around carefully peeked at her and whispered to each other, wondering if she was some female star. Min Yue is proud, this beauty is mine!
“Master!” Min Yue trotted over cheerfully, and stood in front of her: “Let’s go!”
Min Yue took the cat bag, and when she lowered her head, she saw Xu Mai holding two beautifully wrapped gift bags in her left hand, and she reached out to flip them in surprise.
The gift was packed tightly by the clerk, and the contents could not be seen, but just by looking at the trademark, one knew that it was definitely not cheap.
“Master!” Min Yue’s call was repeated a thousand times, revealing thin annoyance and soft complaints. “Why did you still buy it?”
Min Yue was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and agreed not to buy it, but she still spent so much money.
She bounced around like a fluffy bunny, without any sense of threat.
Xu Mai smiled shallowly, and coaxed: “I hope my uncles and aunts will give you to me, then I need to show enough sincerity. You are a priceless treasure, and I’m afraid it’s not enough to exchange everything I have. Such a small gift , really nothing.”
Min Yue understood what she meant. From Xu Mai’s point of view, this visit was not as simple as eating. She will make a formal request, hoping that the two elders will entrust their precious daughter to her.
The same-sex marriage proposal has not yet been passed, but Xu Mai has not omitted a single bit of the process of setting out a life-long process, without ambiguity. First they propose marriage, and then they go to the door to hire people. After obtaining consent, they can live together and have further intimate contact.
Everything she does, whether she discloses it to her colleagues or visits her elders, is silently fulfilling her duty of guardianship.
When Min Yue didn’t realize it, her lover was ready to take responsibility for her life.
Min Yue lowered her head, her eyes were moist and hot, she was too moved to speak.
Xu Mai put the cat bag on the ground, supported her face with one free hand, and lifted it up gently. The moment the four eyes met, a hot tear slipped from the corner of Min Yue’s eye and fell on Xu Mai’s fingertips.
Warm and soft, like the mood of loving her.
There were pedestrians all around, so it was inconvenient to be too intimate, so Xu Mai helped her wipe off the tears with his fingertips, and touched her ruddy earlobe. “Stop crying, today is a good day, just be happy.”
Min Yue pursed her lips tightly, suppressing the urge to shed tears, took a step forward, plunged her head into Xu Mai’s arms, and rubbed her head coquettishly.
Xu Mai was taken aback, Shu Er smiled, forget it, others can watch it if they want.
Xu Mai wrapped her in his arms, put his chin on top of her head, patted her back with his right hand, and coaxed her gently.
Time seems to stop at this moment, pedestrians come and go, bypassing them from a distance, no one can bear to disturb this beautiful picture.
Not far away, three girls who looked like students screamed softly: “Super cute! Super cute!”
“Sister Yu is so spoiled, she is a perfect match, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”!”
“Oh, oh, oh, mother, I want to fall in love!”
