Zhuang Nainai jumped in shock. Turning to look at Si Zhengting, she pursed her lips and said, “I am looking to see if we have any chili.”
“Huh?” Si Zhengting was puzzled.
Zhuang Nainai looked down. “I’m suddenly craving for sour spicy noodles!”
Si Zhengting: “…”
Zhuang Nainai looked up and blinked her big eyes. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve. “Si Zhengting, I really want to eat it!”
Si Zhengting: “…!!”
Si Zhengting said, “That kind of thing isn’t even nutritious. Don’t eat it.”
Zhuang Nainai pouted and stared at Si Zhengting with pitiful eyes for a while before saying, “You baby wants to eat it.”
Si Zhengting: “…!!”
Si Zhengting absolutely could not resist Zhuang Nainai’s pitiful eyes. He really felt that she looked just like a coy puppy right now. Hence, he looked down at the time and said at last, “Where do you want to eat?”
Zhuang Nainai thought for a moment. “Let’s go to the Imperial High School. I love the sour spicy noodles there!”
Imperial High School?
Si Zhengting raised his brows. Looking at her eager expression, he nodded and agreed. “Let’s go change.”
In the bedroom, Zhuang Nainai put on a long and white down coat, maternal pants, and sports shoes. Then, she put her hair up into a bun and grabbed a pair of white and furry earmuffs. She wrapped herself up completely. Upon putting on everything, she turned around, only to see Si Zhengting staring at her intently while standing beside her.
Puzzled, Zhuang Nainai looked at herself. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?”
Si Zhengting smiled. “Nothing, you look good.”
Zhuang Nainai did not look the same as when he had just met her. She looked slightly different. Her cheeks had become fuller with some baby fat. Dressed in this outfit, she suddenly looked like how she did in high school, triggering his memory of Zhuang Nainai from five years ago.
At that time, she was just like a little sun. No matter where she went, she was always bursting with positivity. One’s spirits would be lifted upon seeing her.
He still remembered that winter; she’d been walking amongst them in a black down coat while staring intently at the white down coat Zuo Yiyi was wearing. She had said with envy, “When I grow up, I want to earn a lot of money and buy myself a white down coat. Girls look good in white indeed!”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Yiyi had pursed her lips. “Do you think everyone dresses in dull colors like you? That’s so ugly! You haven’t washed this black down coat for a year, have you?”
Zhuang Nainai immediately said with a smile, “Black things don’t get dirty easily! I don’t have to wash this so often, and this retains its warming effect better. I bet you have to wash this white down coat every few days!”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Yiyi had pursed her lips.
However, Si Zhengting, who was walking between the two of them, had remembered her words.
During the five years that they were separated, he had formed several weird habits. Buying every single piece of white down coat he saw was one of them.
Currently, Zhuang Nainai was wearing a down coat with one of the simplest designs. Her smile was like the sunlight in the middle of a winter day, warming his entire being.
He reached out toward her. “Let’s go.”
She placed her hands in his warm and big hands with a smile and walked alongside him.
Si Zhengting was wearing a black wool coat. His back was completely straight and his tall stature gave off a very secure feeling. Without anyone tagging along, they drove toward the Imperial High School.
