"Haha." Zhou Ruopi looked at him with a smile, "Dr. He wants to be more direct about my fatness, and there is no need to be so roundabout."
"No." He Xianmo denied, "You usually eat very little, I thought you cared about it."
She can hardly find any snacks at home. She also said that she doesn't have such high requirements for food. She does need such a habit to maintain her figure. He Xianmo thinks that she is a person who has very high requirements for her figure, at least. In all the time they'd known each other, he'd never seen her eat so much at night.
So he just subconsciously expressed concern, but he didn't expect it to be misinterpreted by Zhou Ruo.
"I do care, but Zhou Yi made this specially for me." Zhou Ruo said, "I have never had any principles in front of my family. I will eat whatever they do."
He Xianmo: "..."
"But you're right. Eating too much at night will put a heavy burden on the body, so let's keep it simple." Zhou Ruo ordered the dishes methodically, "Just make some salad rice. There is instant brown rice in the refrigerator."
He Xianmo nodded, "Oh, okay."
Zhou Ruo: "Then you're busy, I'm going to take a shower."
She stood up, walked to He Xianmo, stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear: "You're not going back tonight, okay?"
He Xianmo took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
After He Xianmo finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, he walked to the door of Zhou Ruo's room and took a look inside. The bathroom door in her bedroom was closed tightly, and there was a gurgling sound of water. She probably wouldn't come out for a while.
He Xianmo took advantage of this time, put on his shoes and walked out of the apartment, went downstairs to the car and picked up the gift box from the passenger seat.
——
Half an hour later, Zhou Ruo came to the kitchen after taking a shower and doing her skin care routine.
There were two identical salads on the kitchen table. He Xianmo made the dinner strictly according to her requirements, and even the knives and forks were placed beside them.
Zhou Ruo was very satisfied with this. After sitting down, he praised him: "Thank you, Dr. He is so attentive."
He Xianmo: "Oh."
Zhou Ruo: "I'm praising you. Is this your reaction?"
He Xianmo: "Otherwise."
Zhou Ruo: "How about showing your joy after being praised? Smile?"
He Xianmo said nothing, but suddenly took something out from under the table and threw it into her hand.
Zhou Ruo saw the black gift box wrapped with a gold ribbon in front of him and raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"
"I don't know." He Xianmo's answer was as awkward and abstract as ever.
However, this does not hinder Zhou Ruo's interpretation. Her reaction speed has always been very fast: "Did you see my circle of friends last night?"
She didn't set up to block anyone when she posted the photo, but there were no comments or likes from He Xianmo under that WeChat post. He probably wasn't someone who usually checked the WeChat post.
He Xianmo didn't answer the question, picked up his fork and lowered his head to eat the salad.
Zhou Ruo smiled and joked: "Doctor He really cares about me, isn't he the boss?"
He Xianmo: "Do you think it's possible?"
Zhou Ruo: "Who knows, after all, I am so charming."
He Xianmo: "You are so narcissistic."
Zhou Ruo readily accepted this statement. After nodding with a smile, he also picked up his fork and ate without opening the gift.
He Xianmo glanced out of the corner of his eye.
Zhou Ruo happened to see it this time, and his awkward expression made Zhou Ruo laugh, "I'll take it apart after dinner."
He Xianmo: "It's up to you."
…
Zhou Ruo ate dinner slowly, He Xianmo had already wiped the kitchen, and Zhou Ruo hadn't finished one of his salads yet.
He Xianmo felt a little impetuous when he looked at her slow appearance and the unopened gift next to her.
He sat opposite Zhou Ruo and stared at her motionless.
Zhou Ruo felt his monitor-like gaze and said helplessly, "You look at me like that, I'm going to have indigestion."
He Xianmo: "What are you afraid of? Your digestion speed should be faster than your eating speed."
Zhou Ruo was silenced by He Xianmo for the first time: "..."
He Xianmo: "It turns out that there are times when you are speechless."
Bang.
Zhou Ruo kicked He Xianmo hard under the table and hit his calf with his slippers.
"If you can't speak, you can take action." She raised her chin.
He Xianmo: "..."
The two fought at the dining table for a while, and Zhou Ruo had finished eating her salad. As soon as she put down her fork, He Xianmo stepped forward and took away the tableware and walked towards the sink.
Zhou Ruo didn't leave. She sat at the dining table and waited for him to finish washing the dishes. Then he picked up the gift box and said, "Let's go to the living room."
He Xianmo said "hmm" and followed her. They walked side by side to the living room and sat down in front of the sofa.
When He Xianmo saw Zhou Ruo covering the golden ribbon with his hand, his heartbeat inevitably accelerated - with anticipation and a little nervousness.
When he was in love with Shi Lan before, he often gave her gifts and created surprises for her, but he had never been so nervous as today.
Countless possible scenarios have flashed through his mind: what to do if she doesn't like it, what to do if she feels rude——
While He Xianmo was thinking, Zhou Ruo had already untied the ribbon.
The moment she opened the box, He Xianmo held his breath.
Soon, the lid of the box was opened, and the anklet inside was exposed. It was made of platinum and was thicker than the one on her ankle. The style of the chain was almost the same, but the one in the box had an extra key. pendant.
Zhou Ruo quite liked the design concept of shackles and keys, and she smiled.
Seeing her expression, He Xianmo subconsciously relaxed a little.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Zhou Ruo took the anklet out of the box. She raised her leg and put it on He Xianmo's leg. She moved closer to him, "Will you help me put it on?"
He Xianmo looked down and saw that the leg she was holding over was the one without the anklet.
The one she had been wearing on her ankle before seemed to have no intention of taking it off.
He Xianmo glanced at her right ankle, "Don't you want to wear it there?"
Zhou Ruo: "There is already one over there. It can fight, so wear it here."
He Xianmo: "It can be taken off."
Zhou Ruo: "But I don't want to pick it. I like it very much."
He Xianmo: "..."
He knew she liked it.
From the first day they met until now, she has had five or six men, but she has always worn that anklet.
He Xianmo thought that his position in her heart must not be as high as that of that anklet.
The more she paid attention to it, the more curious He Xianmo became about who gave it to him.
But he knew that asking such a question would definitely offend her, so he could only endure it.
He Xianmo took a deep breath, looked away, and put the pair he bought on her to her left ankle.
He was very skillful in his movements and fastened the button quickly.
The size of the anklet was perfect, and it looked more attractive and attractive on her ankle than he had imagined.
Zhou Ruo also lowered his head to admire it, rubbing his feet against his thigh, "Doctor He usually doesn't scratch my ankles in vain. He controls the size so accurately."
He Xianmo held her down and said, "Don't move."
"Why did you give me the anklet?" Zhou Ruo sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked directly at him, "Does Dr. He want to tie me up?"
