Chapter 24. Mobile Phone
Two days later in the morning.
Shen Xi stood by the bed and looked helplessly at Yi Ruo who was lying in bed.
"Let me sleep a little longer." Yi Ruo shook her head and raised her hand to wipe away the mess on her face.
"Don't sleep anymore, it's noon now, we have to go out today." Shen Xi stretched out his hand to knead the girl's cheek and coaxed her gently in her ear. She thought to herself that it was she who clearly asked her to celebrate her birthday with him yesterday, but now she has completely forgotten it.
Unfortunately, Yi Ruo didn't appreciate it. She turned over and faced the man, saying, "Where are you going? I'm not going anywhere. I'm sleepy."
Looking at the woman with her back to him, leaving only her back, he raised his hands helplessly and hugged her again, saying, "Isn't it boring to stay at home every day during the holidays?"
"No." The woman protested with a heavy nasal voice.
"Shopping?"
"Okay!" Yi Ruo opened her eyes and sat up obediently. She looked at the man with bright eyes, completely free of the laziness just now.
Shen Xi looked at Yi Ruo with a smile and said, "That's not good. Then let's stay home." As he said that, he raised his hand and rubbed Yi Ruo's hair that was like a chicken feather blanket.
"Ah." Yi Ruo looked at the man in protest, stood up, grabbed the man's arm, pulled the man who was about to lie down, and said, "You can't go back on your word!"
"Huh?"
"I'm the one who went back on my word, please forgive me." Yi Ruo leaned on the man and said coquettishly.
Shen Xi nodded seriously, with a look of forgiveness in his eyes, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Wait for me for a moment, it will be quick." With that, Yi Ruo walked quickly into the bathroom, suddenly turned around and picked up the scarf from the cupboard, walked to Shen Xi's side, stood on tiptoes and kissed the corner of the man's mouth, then returned to the bathroom.
Shen Xi smiled at Yi Ruo who was in a panic, touched the corner of his mouth, and walked out of the room helplessly.

- Shopping mall.-
"Is there anything you want to buy?" Shen Xi accompanied Yi Ruo around the mall and watched her just look left and right but did not enter any store.
Yi Ruo walked around the mall again and again, going up and down countless times, before saying, "Well... it was there before, but it's gone now."
"What?" The man said, looking down at Yi Ruo's profile.
Yi Ruo then turned her head to look at him and said helplessly: "You don't want me to choose something as my birthday present myself."
Shen Xi raised his eyebrows. He did want Yi Ruo to choose her own birthday present. After all, he didn't know what Yi Ruo needed.
Yi Ruo let go of the man's arm with displeasure and walked away.
Shen Xi looked at the girl's back, which was determined but her steps were unusually slow. He walked up to her with a smile, took her arm, and whispered, "I don't know what you like, but I thought it would be better if you chose it yourself. I didn't mean to fool you."
Yi Ruo said dissatisfiedly, "Birthday gifts are only sincere if they are chosen by the person giving the gift. If you choose it yourself, it doesn't count."
After the man coaxed her to apologize, Yi Ruo hugged the man and said, "Then when is your birthday?"
"Half a year ago." Shen Xi said with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other on Yi Ruo's head.
"Oh, I thought of what to buy~" Yi Ruo put her delicate hand into the man's palm and pulled him towards a mobile phone store.
Yi Ruo walked directly to the table and had someone bring out a mobile phone. She checked it over and over again before bringing it to the man.
"Is your phone broken?" Shen Xi asked doubtfully. If he remembered correctly, he saw Yi Ruo happily playing mobile games on his phone in the car today.
"I bought it for your birthday."
"Use my money to buy me a gift?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
Yi Ruo gave him a smile without any guilt.
Shen Xi smiled and raised his hand to take out the phone, which was the same model phone he bought for Yi Ruo last time. His eyes flickered slightly, and he did not refuse Yi Ruo, but stood up and paid. But I didn't ask the waiter to change the phone card until I walked out the door.
Yi Ruo smiled and pretended not to notice, she put her arm around the man and walked out of the store with a coquettish look. After all, mobile phones are neither private nor confidential. It is unacceptable to replace your phone with another woman's for no reason. But she would have him change into it soon.

It was already dusk when I came out of the mall. The shadows were slanting across the sky and the fragrance was floating in the air. The dusk in late autumn always comes quickly.
Shen Xi took Yi Ruo's hand and walked out of the mall and got into the car. The man's profile appears sharper under the setting sun, but it cannot conceal the gentleness in his eyes and brows.
Sometimes Yi Ruo would always think that the man seemed to love his wife very much, but he would take her out so openly.
Holding her hand, he feels like he take many things lightly. Maybe it’s because he look at the world rationally, so he always have a gentle distance from it. He is a man who is both self-controlled and permissive, a contradictory person.
Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, Yi Ruo said, "Aren't we going home?"
"Well, let's go somewhere first." Shen Xi looked ahead intently, and while the traffic light was turning green, he looked at Yi Ruo, holding her hand with his left hand and said.
"Surprise?"
"Shocked." Shen Xi laughed.
Yi Ruo: "..."
Yi Ruo looked at the smiling man, lowered her eyes, and looked at the two clasped hands. The woman's small hand seemed unusually white and soft wrapped in the man's slender fingers. She held the man's hand tightly in return.
In fact, it is not just the men who are shaken by this relationship. She didn't want to destroy other people's marriages, but selfishly wanted the man to be with her.
Yi Ruo smiled and raised her head, gently pressed her hand against the man's cheek, and gave him a light kiss when he wasn't paying attention.
"Yi Ruo." Shen Xi glanced at the woman with a frown, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"I know I was wrong."
The space in the car was silent, with only the sound of music flowing slowly, which was very warm.
After a long time, she heard the man say, "Yeah."
She lowered her head and smiled.
