Chapter 5497: Chapter 5497: Seeking Strategy
Her Captain Xia was really a busy man, not only busy with training but also needing to sort out his comrade’s lifelong affairs, just like an old father indeed.
"You worry too much, if it really doesn’t work out, we can solve it by arranging a marriage alliance. Let’s go, and then we head back home," said Ye Jian as she took the lead to walk away.
She didn’t ask whether they were really going to the horse farm tomorrow because she thought it was just Xia Jinyuan being polite.
Xia Jinyuan, however, stood still.
"Why aren’t you walking?" Ye Jian turned around to look at Xia Jinyuan, then at the bags he was twisting in his hand, and she realized, "Too many, hard to carry, right?"
She turned back, pretending to take some of the bags.
Xia Jinyuan lifted his left hand, which was carrying the bags, bent his arm, and slightly raised his eyebrows at Ye Jian.
Now Ye Jian understood what Xia Jinyuan meant; she laced her arm with Xia Jinyuan’s, "Got it, got it, holding hands or linking arms, right? Did Fifth Brother teach you this? Does Fifth Brother do this too? Unlikely, Fifth Brother seems the type to solve things with money. I don’t think he would carry shopping bags with his girlfriend."
Indeed, she wasn’t wrong—Xia Yunyin had never accompanied a girl shopping; he preferred to hand over a card, saving both trouble and time, without needing to put in any effort.
Not meeting the right person, the one you truly like, makes shopping a burden.
"Fifth Brother likes to use money, while I prefer this way," Xia Jinyuan was very pleased with his girlfriend’s quick-wittedness, knowing to come over and link arms immediately, walking out of the store in sync.
As Ye Jian was about to leave the store, she overheard someone say, "Look at that guy just now, tall, handsome, generous, and so caring for his girlfriend. Who says all you men are unromantic straight guys? Look at him, so attentive and considerate to his girlfriend. I want to find a boyfriend just like him."
"Hehe, that’s quite an ambition, isn’t it? It’s something that can’t be forced. A good man is always someone else’s. The ones at home are always a bit lacking."
Because you can’t see the faults in others’ partners, but you tend to magnify the flaws in your own, that’s why they always seem a bit lacking.
When she reached the doorway, she heard a delicate voice behind her saying, "Look at you compared to that boyfriend just now. It’s really frustrating how people compare! He knows how to make his girlfriend happy. Unlike you, who’s barely willing to accompany me shopping even as the New Year approaches."
Ye Jian smiled, her hands still linked with Xia Jinyuan’s arms, her cheeks dimpling deeper with her smile. Her man, naturally, was the best.
"What’s next for us?" Ye Jian, beaming with enthusiasm, slapped Xia Jinyuan’s arm and asked, "Shopping really is a delightful thing. What to do, I still want to continue."
"What’s next?" Xia Jinyuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze deep as he looked at his girlfriend, who radiated joy. He had just seen the triumphant smile on Ye Jian’s face and wanted to keep teasing her.
"Before we go to the next stop, doesn’t my excellent boyfriend deserve a kiss as a reward?" Xia Jinyuan asked with a mischievous smile.
"A car runs out of gas after too long, a boyfriend gets tired after too much shopping--he needs a kiss from his girlfriend to fuel up."
Ye Jian looked around; there were so many people coming and going, it really was a bit embarrassing to kiss here, especially since they had already kissed three times just earlier.
"What does it matter with so many people around? No one will notice us," Xia Jinyuan, his handsome face inching closer, didn’t mind at all, "I’m not asking for much, just one kiss on each cheek."
