Psst! We're moving!
After a lingering kiss in the car, Bo Ying reluctantly got out.
He Jingxiu didn’t drive away until he saw her enter.
At the end of the workday, He Jingxiu was indeed on time, appearing promptly at the law firm’s entrance.
Seeing him, the colleagues from the law firm greeted him with smiles, “Mr. He is here to pick up Yingying.”
He Jingxiu nodded, “Yes.”
Everyone chimed in, “Then we’ll head to the restaurant first. Yingying still has some work to finish, you can go in and wait.”
He Jingxiu, “Alright, I’ve already notified the restaurant. You can order first when you get there.”
The colleagues joked, “Then we definitely won’t be polite.”
He Jingxiu chuckled, “No problem.”
“...”
When he entered Bo Ying’s office, she was still busy.
He Jingxiu glanced at her, then walked straight to the waiting area and sat down, not making a sound to disturb her.
Once Bo Ying immersed herself in work, she would ignore everything and everyone around her.
She didn’t realize He Jingxiu had arrived until she finished her work.
The two looked at each other, Bo Ying looked confused for a moment, “Is it quitting time?”
“Yes,” He Jingxiu stood up and glanced at his wristwatch, “6:30.”
Bo Ying touched her nose, “I forgot again.”
“No rush,” He Jingxiu looked at her, “Are you done with work now?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Bo Ying nodded, and asked softly, “What about them? Have they gone already?”
He Jingxiu nodded.
...
After asking everyone for their opinion, they decided to have barbecue for dinner. When He Jingxiu and Bo Ying arrived, the beef they had ordered was already served.
Upon seeing the beef, Bo Ying’s eyes lit up.
“Yingying,” a colleague joked, “You should restrain yourself a little.”
Bo Ying swallowed, “It’s hard to restrain myself.”
“Do you want to add anything else?” a colleague asked.
He Jingxiu looked at Bo Ying, “What else do you want to eat?”
Bo Ying took the menu and looked at it, then said very sincerely, “I want to drink Sprite.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
________________________________________
Bo Ying had suddenly fallen in love with Sprite during the hottest part of summer. Originally, He Jingxiu wouldn’t usually stop her from eating anything, but after Bo Ying had two stomachaches from drinking too much, he no longer allowed her to drink it.
Now, with colleagues around, Bo Ying was confident He Jingxiu wouldn’t refuse her.
The two exchanged glances, He Jingxiu said rather helplessly, “You can drink it, but you can’t finish a whole can.”
Bo Ying nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, “I promise.”
The colleagues next to them watched the two, unable to suppress their smiles.
While He Jingxiu went to re-order for her, a colleague leaned over and pressed, “Yingying, does Mr. He still control what you drink?”
Bo Ying was embarrassed to admit it, “I get a stomachache if I drink too much.”
Every time she had a stomachache, she would make He Jingxiu incredibly distraught. Not exhausted, but heartbroken.
He couldn’t bear to see Bo Ying in discomfort.
Bo Ying knew this well. She wasn’t intentionally trying to make things difficult for He Jingxiu; she was just a bit craving it and wanted a few sips to satisfy her craving.
After hearing her explanation, the colleague instantly regretted asking.
She shouldn’t have come to eat this “dog food.”
With He Jingxiu there, everyone seemed less able to let loose.
But the meal itself was still very enjoyable.

When it ended, the two went home.
Both of them had a little bit of alcohol. Sitting in the car, Bo Ying leaned against He Jingxiu, gazing out at the night scenery.
The car was quiet, with only the soft music played by the driver in the front reaching their ears.
After a while, Bo Ying reached out and poked He Jingxiu’s shoulder.
“Mr. He.”
He Jingxiu looked down at her, “Hmm?”
Bo Ying leaned into his ear and whispered, “The scenery outside is quite beautiful. I want to get out and walk.”
He Jingxiu was startled, and asked softly, “Are you sure?”
“Sure.”
Bo Ying glanced at the time, “It’s still early. Let the driver drop us off a street ahead of our community later, and then we’ll walk back?”
He Jingxiu assented.
Ten minutes later, the two got out of the car.
There was still hustle and bustle around, with street vendors selling things. Bo Ying and He Jingxiu held hands, like any ordinary couple, leisurely walking along the street on an autumn night.
The evening breeze blew, making it very comfortable.

Swinging He Jingxiu’s hand, Bo Ying excitedly ran to the flower vendor lady by the roadside and bought two bouquets of flowers.
Back home, Bo Ying wasn’t in a hurry to rest. She and He Jingxiu arranged the flowers together, and she even took two photos with great interest.
She truly enjoyed her current life, spending every day and every night wholeheartedly.
Before going to bed, He Jingxiu embraced her.
“Does your back still hurt?”
He still remembered.
Bo Ying was startled, leaning on his shoulder and nodding, “It hurts. Can you massage it for me again?”
He Jingxiu, “Okay.”
After massaging Bo Ying, Bo Ying kissed his lips and said with a smile, “A reward for Mr. He.”
He Jingxiu glanced at her, pulled her closer and kissed her for a long while before letting her go.
“Sleep.”
Bo Ying hummed, burying herself in his arms, “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”

Life after the proposal wasn’t much different from before.
This year, Bo Yan and Chi Lu got married.
Bo Ying and He Jingxiu had wanted to be the best man and bridesmaid, but for various reasons, neither of them ended up serving in those roles.
However, Bo Ying caught Chi Lu’s bouquet.
After their wedding, Chi Lu and Bo Yan took a vacation and went on a world tour.
They would send photos to Bo Ying wherever they went, making Bo Ying extremely envious.
Occasionally, He Jingxiu would ask her, “Why don’t we get married too, and then travel?”
Whenever he said that, Bo Ying felt he wasn’t very sincere.
They weren’t getting married just to travel.
He Jingxiu smiled and remained silent, not explaining himself further.
Of course, Bo Ying also knew that he wasn’t just doing it to travel with her. He really wanted to get married.
But Bo Ying felt like, let’s wait a little longer.
She still wanted to become a bit more formidable.
Another New Year arrived.
On New Year’s Eve, He Jingxiu first had dinner with Bo Ying at Bo Yan’s place, and then brought her back to his grandparents’ house.
Everyone knew about his successful proposal, and the two families’ interactions became even closer.
After dinner, He Jingxiu took her out to play.
Watching the fireworks light up the sky, Bo Ying hooked He Jingxiu’s finger and whispered, “Mr. He.”
He Jingxiu looked at her, “Are you cold?”
The wind was strong.
Bo Ying shook her head, “It’s alright.”
She leaned into He Jingxiu’s arms and asked softly, “Why aren’t you asking me now?”
He Jingxiu paused, understanding her meaning.
He was quiet for a moment, then turned his head to look into her eyes, and said seriously, “After the New Year, shall we start preparing for the wedding?”
Bo Ying chuckled, and conceded, “Okay.”
Another year passed.
She still felt the same as last year; she wanted to build a home with him.
