When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 901: Reminiscing with Objects (Part 1)
Su Weiyi took Chen Ajia for a stroll around B City, mainly looking for food. Occasionally, Zhou Chengchen would join them, but most of the time it was just Su Weiyi and Chen Ajia.
Though Zhou Chengchen wasn’t very old, she loved beauty. Unlike Su Weiyi, who could eat without gaining weight, Zhou Chengchen would put on a couple of pounds just by eating a bit more today, making her incompatible with the foodie Chen Ajia.
It seemed like Chen Ajia didn’t like Zhou Chengchen that much either, so Su Weiyi rarely brought the two of them together.
As August came to a close, Sheng Yanxiao was about to start school again and had to return to S City. On the day before he left, Chen Ajia wisely decided not to play the third wheel. Having become familiar with B City over the days, she went out by herself, leaving time for Su Weiyi and Sheng Yanxiao.
The feeling of being with someone you love is that even doing the most mundane things in the world is joyful.
Like now, the two of them walked side by side, wandering aimlessly down the streets and alleys. This was the city they had grown up in, and there was no need to talk about familiarity, but walking those paths they used to take now felt different.
The plane trees on the street seemed more pleasing to the eye, and even the billboards by the roadside looked nice.
Even the blazing sun overhead felt rather friendly.
They wandered for quite some time, and then Sheng Yanxiao took Su Weiyi to see a movie. The young couple had no clue what to do on a date, but whatever they did, they felt happy.
As for watching a movie, this stereotypical activity, though a bit cliché, wasn’t too bad either.
There weren’t any good movies playing lately, mostly trashy flicks with popular young stars drawing crowds with no acting skills to speak of, and the plots were terrible too.
But Su Weiyi didn’t pay much attention to it. From the moment they went in and the lights dimmed, Sheng Yanxiao’s hand had already grasped hers.
It seemed to be because of the summer break, young couples that looked like middle and high schoolers could be seen everywhere around them, making them blend in perfectly.
If anything stood out, it would be Sheng Yanxiao’s insanely good looks, which didn’t lose out at all to the young stars on screen and even had a superior air about him.
But the lights in the cinema were dim, and nothing was visible.
Su Weiyi’s eyes gazed at the screen, but her thoughts drifted into outer space.
She didn’t even know when the movie ended. It wasn’t until the lights came on and people around her began to get up and head out that she snapped back to reality.
"Let’s go get something to eat."
Sheng Yanxiao was already standing, still holding Su Weiyi’s hand as they moved with the crowd towards the exit. At the restroom entrance, Su Weiyi stopped him: "Wait a moment, I need to go to the restroom."
Sheng Yanxiao took her bag and waited outside, his gaze shifted slightly, landing on a few claw machine games near the cinema entrance.
There were a couple of young couples gathered there, and one boy successfully grabbed a plush toy. The girl beside him stood on tiptoe, smiling as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
Sheng Yanxiao’s eyes flashed with a bit of an unusual glimmer, and the next second, his lean figure was already standing in front of the claw machine.
Young Master Sheng knew how to ski, surf, play golf, and shoot, but this was his first attempt at a claw machine.
Brimming with confidence, Sheng Yanxiao exchanged ten tokens and stood in front of one of the machines.
On the first try, the toy didn’t move at all. On the second, he barely grasped it. On the third... to the ninth, he finally managed to grab one, but just as it was about to drop into the hole, it fell off.
