After wrestling with her thoughts all night, Xiaoxiao got up with huge panda eyes, still unable to understand what exactly it meant to like someone?
Could she really have developed feelings for Yang Ming over time? Could she like a young guy? Considering her actual age, she thought she should be setting her sights on older men.
She told Yang Dong that when you like someone, your heart races when you see them. Should she give it a try? Test it?
With such questions in mind, she spent the whole morning at Xiangxiang Cloth Shop in a daze. Finally, she decided to look for Yang Ming at noon; she wanted to unravel the answer.
As soon as noon arrived, she couldn’t wait to leave Xiangxiang Cloth Shop, and as soon as she did, there was Yang Ming, waiting for her outside.
The moment she saw Yang Ming, she felt overwhelmingly happy. Before she even had the chance to grasp his hand to check her heartbeat, her heart was already thumping wildly. She thought, there was no need for confirmation, it seemed the answer had already revealed itself.
She wasn’t sure if this kind of test was reliable, but it certainly felt different from before. If it wasn’t liking, at least there must be some fondness, right?
"..." His wife’s mood didn’t seem very high; she must still be angry.
"I came because I want to ask..." Yang Ming, who couldn’t stand being misunderstood, couldn’t wait until evening to return home. He had to ask what was going on right away, so he came at noon. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by his wife.
"Why haven’t you come these past few days? Do you know I was waiting for you?"
Calmly collecting her emotions, Xiaoxiao looked up and asked him about the problem that had been pent up for days. Why did she feel a bit aggrieved?
"..." Wait for him? Wait for what?
"Didn’t you say we were supposed to eat together every day these past few days?"
"..." Yang Ming suddenly realized, he had indeed said they would dine together. However, following the scolding from his wife, he felt too ashamed to see her and had not shown up, voluntarily giving up the chance to be with her.
"I’m sorry, I forgot!"
"..." He actually forgot, she pouted, showing her displeasure, "Then you need to make it up to me; we’re having a big feast today."
And so, the two of them wound up at Yuelai Restaurant, even opting for a private room.
It really was a bit of a splurge, as they ordered several dishes.
Yang Ming felt that he was really not up to par when facing his wife. He had come with the intention of questioning her, but now he couldn’t seem to find the words.
"I’m really sorry for yelling at you last time."
Yang Ming hadn’t expected his wife to bring up their last conflict. That’s just how she was, straightforward and never keeping things bottled up inside, "It’s nothing; I think you were right. I was in the wrong."
Xiaoxiao extended her hand in a handshake gesture, revealing a sweet smile, "Then let’s shake hands and make up."
Seeing his wife’s hand extended, he also reached out, and their hands clasped together, "Hmm!"
At Yang Ming’s response, Xiaoxiao immediately let go, "Then let’s start eating."
The two of them began to eat in silence.
Xiaoxiao felt she could almost hear her own heartbeat because of their recent touch. She thought she might be done for.
"Yang Ming, I think, I might like you a little!"
That’s what she thought, and that’s what she said. That was her personality.
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Yang Ming’s head shot up, his eyes full of shock. He thought he must be hallucinating; he thought he had just heard his wife say she liked him?
"Do you like me, even a little bit?"
