Sweet slice-of-life love story: Wife, Let's love again Chapter 174 - 172: Descending from the Sky

No matter how well things were planned at the beginning, emotions always unwittingly changed our minds.

He Fang always found herself reflecting silently during the still of the night after repeatedly crossing the line only to cast those reflections aside the next ti they t.

It was like sweet candy tempting one to take another taste, another bite, as long as they didn’t reach the final step, it was fine.

Frustrated, she pinched Qin Guanglin hard before she hooked her arm through his and walked out the door, secretly contemplating whether to keep so distance... Otherwise, their shalessness would progress far too quickly.

"By the way, there’s an outing to Chou Mountain with the company, and spouses can co along. It’s next week or the week after, Friday and Saturday, do you want to join ?"

Standing under the bus stop waiting for a bus, Qin Guanglin briefly reiterated the outing plans.

"Why would I attend your company event?" He Fang expressed her disinterest, "You go on. Just don’t let that colleague of yours whisk you away."

Qin Guanglin wasn’t surprised at all; He Fang was even more of a hobody than he was before. She would be wearing the sa pajamas from the morning when he returned from work in the evening, never stepping out all day long.

"I didn’t go the last ti, and I don’t want to go this ti either. I initially refused by saying I needed to accompany my girlfriend, but my boss specifically ntioned that spouses could co, hoping we could go together." He shook He Fang’s hand, "I don’t feel like going if you don’t. In such hot weather, what’s better than staying indoors with you, enjoying the air conditioning and watching a movie?"

"Hmm..." He Fang thought for a mont, "Fine, I’ll go with you. What if you get sick of being cooped up all day at ho? It’s good to go out."

"You’re the one who might get sick of it, right?" Qin Guanglin looked at her, sowhat speechless, "I’m out every day while you’re stuck at ho."

He Fang used to call him a hobody, but now compared to her, she was the true hermit. Just buy her a bit more groceries in the morning, and she could stay indoors all day, at most making a quick trip to the convenience store downstairs.

"I’m an artist, I need peace to focus. Staying ho is normal for , I stay in unless I need to gather materials," He Fang argued confidently.

"I’m an artist too, I also need peace."

"So, we just stay ho every day?"

"That’s not bad either," Qin Guanglin mused, feeling quite pleased with the thought.

It was just a sha they still had to work to earn a living.

"Forget it, let’s still go out and nourish the soul, so you don’t keep bothering to help," He Fang muttered under her breath, staying ho too often was a recipe for irritation.

"It’s not all the ti, just three tis in total."

"Each ti is worse than the last."

"We’re outside," Qin Guanglin nervously looked around, "let’s not talk about this."

"It’s settled then, I’ll join you to let your colleagues know soone’s keeping tabs on you, so don’t start getting any funny ideas," He Fang leaned on him and looked up, "Did that coworker of yours look for you today?"

"No."

Qin Guanglin shook his head, figuring it was best if she didn’t know, better to handle it himself.

Otherwise, it would only spoil the good mood, which would be such a pity.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Alright then, seems like my ’immortal qi’ has intimidated them into retreat without a fight," He Fang humd proudly, noticing the bus pulling up, and quickly dragged Qin Guanglin aboard.

"How long has it been since you went out this far?"

Qin Guanglin sat down beside her at the back of the bus, gazing out the window with a sigh.

Thankfully, they still went running in the evenings, otherwise, they’d truly be like sheltered young won of ancient tis, never stepping beyond the threshold.

"Why go out? The weather is so hot. At ho, there’s air conditioning, cola, a computer, and novels. That’s a life only immortals could live, why go out and suffer?"

"That’s true, getting tanned would ruin it. I’ll take you out more often in the evenings then."

"You might as well run a few more laps."

"I’d rather not."

At this mont, the bus wasn’t crowded and the pair conversed quietly in the back seat, soon arriving at Shengtian Square where stepping under the bus stop sign, Qin Guanglin felt a strange sentintality.

"Back then, this is where I first saw you," he said to He Fang, stepping forward a few paces and turning back.

In just a few months, their relationship had undergone a dramatic transformation.

"Lost and waiting to return?" He Fang stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head with a smile in front of Qin Guanglin.

"Lost and waiting to return?"

"Yeah, want to shake hands?"

"No need to be so formal." Qin Guanglin reached out and pulled her over, "Let’s kiss instead."

"Not cooperating at all." He Fang laughed and broke free, "You should have asked where I ca from."

"Right, where did you co from?"

This suddenly reminded Qin Guanglin, "I rember you suddenly appeared behind , and this is a bus stop." He looked up at the sign, "I had just gotten off the bus, no second bus had passed by, and you weren’t on the sa bus as , where did you pop out from?"

The first ti they t online, it was inevitable to be a bit nervous, he hadn’t paid attention to these details, but now standing where he stood back then, he suddenly rembered it.

"What’s your brain made of?" Sotis He Fang really wanted to crack open his head and see, how could his mory be so good?

"Were you standing there all this ti?" Qin Guanglin frowned and pointed a short distance in front of him, then looked at her, "It can’t be?"

He rembered it was quite sunny that afternoon, was she just foolishly waiting? That would be silly.

"Of course not." He Fang rolled her eyes, "Let’s go, ti to eat."

"You haven’t told how you suddenly appeared behind ." He pondered more and more puzzled, "And as soon as I got off the bus, you sent a ssage..."

He had thought it was quite a coincidence at the ti, but thinking about it now, it clearly wasn’t right, where had she popped out from?

"I am a fairy, just like this—bam bam bam, descending from the sky with a rainbow, appearing behind you." He Fang spun around with a flick of her hand and lifted her chin towards him, "Get it?"

"..."

Seeing she wasn’t telling the truth, Qin Guanglin grew more suspicious, and turned to look at the bus stop sign again, "Could it be I guessed right?"

"Why fuss over this, I’ve forgotten, who knows if you rembered wrong."

He Fang helplessly grabbed his hand and walked backwards towards Shengtian Square, "I just rember sending you a ssage right after I got off, then you, all clueless, looked down to reply, and I guessed it was you."

"Really?"

"What do you think?"

"That’s really fate then, just as I got off the bus you happened to arrived too." Qin Guanglin pondered for a while, then threw the thought out of his mind, maybe he truly rembered wrong, "Let’s go, the grilled fish restaurant is at the west gate, it has a huge sign, should be easy to find."

Indeed, it was very easy to find, they hadn’t even reached the west gate yet when they could see its big flashing sign from afar.

"Wow, how did you find this place?" He Fang was a bit surprised, "It just opened, and everything’s on discount."

A large sign stood at the restaurant entrance, welcoming guests with all main dishes, side dishes, and drinks at twenty percent off.

"It took so effort to pick this out, not bad, right?" Qin Guanglin entered and felt particularly satisfied with the environnt.

The lighting was warm and dim, the decor elegant, instilling a sense of tranquility, perfectly suitable for a date.

Luckily, he didn’t tell her about this afternoon’s incident, otherwise if she knew that colleague wanted to bring him here... Phew, all good.

"Amazing."

He Fang pulled him along into the restaurant to a window seat, pointing outside, "Let’s sit here, we can see the night view perfectly from here."

"Hmm, feels even better, you always pick the best spots." Qin Guanglin admired the view outside, then pushed the nu towards her, "See what you want to eat."

Under the warm light, He Fang’s face was painted with a serene beauty, her serious look while checking the nu made Qin Guanglin’s heart beat slightly faster.

Indeed, sitting at ho, cuddling also wasn’t enough, one must occasionally wander and experience different feelings.

"Grilled fish with fresh green peppers, you should be able to handle it now." He Fang circled an item on the nu, then dotted around the sides, pushing the nu back to him, "Anything you want to add?"

"That’s fine, let’s start with these." Qin Guanglin casually glanced, figured it was enough, and handed the nu to the approaching waiter.

Such dates weren’t bad, perhaps they could consider doing this a couple of tis a month.
