Chapter 9
"I was just thinking of inviting you to come home for dinner! So, why don't you come over now? Don't bring anything, it's snowing and driving is not safe. You'd better not drive that little turtle of yours out, or I'll send someone to pick you up!"
Grandma calls her Beetle "Little Turtle"... is it because she always drives very slowly?
"No need, no need!" she hastily said, "He... Ning... Xiao... Zhenqian is back..." Pushing the boat with the current, she heavily pushed out his name, then her mother-in-law would inevitably order him to return home!
"Is it Little Quake?" The old lady seemed very interested in this title.
"Uh..." She didn't know how to explain. To be honest, she wasn't used to calling him by name in front of others, especially her mother-in-law, Ning Zhenqian? It felt too formal... Little Zhen? That's what his parents called him, but it didn't suit her... So, it became Ning Xiao Zhenqian...
The old lady smiled, "This stinky kid, came back and didn't even give the family a phone call, just rushed to his wife's place. Alright, you two come back together! It's okay if it's late, as long as you make it for dinner!"
Oh yeah! Long live grandma! She was so delighted that she basically ignored the distress caused by her mother-in-law's words "directly rushing to the daughter-in-law" and also ignored what her mother-in-law meant by saying it didn't matter if they came late, immediately using trembling fingers to send him a text message: Mom asked us to go home for dinner tonight.
After sending it out, both hands held the phone against her chest, and she felt like her heart was going to jump out.
Finally, his phone vibrated and he replied with a single word: Okay.
Great! Great! Too good!
She was barefoot on the floor, holding her phone and jumping up and down while shouting.
Ning Zhenqian, you really don't know that even if your one-word response is as distant and sparse as starlight, it's enough to illuminate my entire night sky...
Thinking of tonight's activities, I reckon there won't be time to code at night, and he'll be gathering with his brothers for a while, so she has to take advantage of this period to get the coding done!
In her free time, she loves to read and has even registered a pen name on a certain website to write articles. Her first article received a pretty good response, with at least a fixed number of readers asking for updates every day. As she writes, it's almost time for the grand finale, which is full of sweet scenes, and her readers are eagerly calling out for the "ship" scene. For the past two days, she has been holding back on this part, don't you think it's hard for someone who hasn't even had their first kiss to write about these things?
As soon as she entered the typing state, she forgot about time. When she heard her phone ringing, it was just when the male and female leads were in a passionate scene, and she herself was almost sweating profusely! The heating temperature was too high!
It's him!
She quickly picked up the phone, "Hello."
"I'm back, open the door." Unchanged lines...
She immediately went barefoot to open the door, muttering in her heart, why every time she came back didn't ring the doorbell but called instead?
Open the door, and he was standing outside in casual wear. When he went out before, she didn't see his front side wearing casual clothes, this is her first time seeing him wearing casual clothes after coming to Beijing, and it's actually so... handsome!
Her heart started racing again and her face turned red involuntarily.
"I... am going to change my clothes! Let's go!" She rushed into the bedroom like an ostrich. Her mind was filled with the image of her eyes colliding with his when she opened the door earlier. This man, who had occupied her heart for twenty years, had such good-looking eyes, such a captivating gaze, and when he wore his military uniform, he exuded a strong and upright air, but once he put on casual clothes, he took on an inexplicable, untamed meaning...
