Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Xiao Fangfei had just taken off her motorcycle helmet when beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped onto her gloves, leaving a small dark mark.

She threw the helmet on the tool bench and picked up her phone. The notification sound of "Twenty Years of Promise to Protect the Group" was still beeping on the screen. She clicked it and saw the screen full of "dog food" which made her tighten her grip instantly.

Ling Jiuer sent a photo.

Pei Luonan squatted in the yard and peeled oranges for Gu Fanxing, his fingertips stained with the orange peels.

Du Fei served Ling Jiuer sweet and sour pork ribs, and the bowl was piled high.

In the photo of the four people sitting around the dining table, the little daisies in the white porcelain bowl reflected the sunlight, and their smiles were particularly sweet.

The caption teased: "The cooking competition has concluded successfully! Sister Fei, you must be exhausted from practicing driving, do you want to come to the ruins for a hot meal?"

Xiao Fangfei took a bite of the cold energy bar, and the biscuit crumbs fell on her work pants. Her fingertips typed quickly.

"Who understands? I practiced cornering for three hours, my helmet is soaked in sweat, and then I open the group chat and get fed dog food! Mr. Pei peels an orange better than I adjust a motorcycle chain, and Du Fei's spare ribs look delicious, and I'm still munching on dry food in the maintenance room!"

At the end, he added a "crying storm" emoticon, full of "envy, jealousy and hatred", but deliberately avoided the complex emotions surging in his heart.

As soon as the message was sent out, the group exploded instantly.

Lv Wei was the first to post a melon-eating emoji: "Sister Fei, why do you need to envy others? Don't you have Brother Hao as your 'dedicated maintenance and logistics' guy? Last time you fell during practice and scraped your knee, who took you to the hospital, towed your bike for repairs, and returned it to the track the next morning?"

Pei Luochuan followed closely behind and directly tagged Kong Haoyu.

"Yeah! Hao-ge told me last time, 'Sister Fei is preparing for the provincial league, I have to keep an eye on her, what if she forgets to eat, or her motorcycle has a minor problem?' This awareness is even higher than when my brother was chasing stars!"

Ling Jiuer even added the finishing blow.

"Brother Hao, stop lurking! Didn't you two pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend to deal with your family?

Last time Auntie Xiao chased Sister Fei on a blind date, didn't you pretend to be Sister Fei's boyfriend and help her settle it? And you acted so realistically, even the fake ones can be so sweet, how far can the real thing be?

The group was instantly flooded with messages from “@孔浩宇”, and Gu Fanxing also echoed them.

"Fangfei told me last time, 'After practicing driving, I came home and there wasn't even a light on in the house waiting for me. I was a little envious of Xingxing.' You have to be more proactive!"

At this time, Kong Haoyu was sitting in the office reading documents, and the vibration of his mobile phone made the desk slightly hot.

He picked up his phone and saw the teasing all over the screen, and his fingertips clenched subconsciously.

Why hadn't he taken the initiative? Two months ago, Xiao Fangfei's mother was urging her to go on a blind date, and Xiao Fangfei approached him about pretending to be her boyfriend. He agreed without hesitation.

Because of this, he can stay with her more often in the name of "boyfriend".

At that time, he felt both sour and sweet in his heart. The sour part was the "pretended" identity, and the sweet part was that she was willing to help him out, even if it was just acting.

Later, he bought Xiao Fangfei's favorite sunflowers at the track she often went to, and confessed his love to her with a blushing face.

"I want to pursue you seriously, not just to please my family. I really like you. I want to wait for the competition with you, and I also want to spend normal days with you."

But Xiao Fangfei just smiled and shook her head, with a serious tone?

"Kong Haoyu, I don't want to get married, and I don't have the heart to talk about love. I just want to compete well and win the provincial league championship. I don't want to think about anything else."

And last time, Xiao Fangfei mentioned in the group, "I want to eat the beef soup at Zhang Ji's in the alley, but unfortunately I go out early and come back late to practice driving, and I can never make it in time for it to open."

He got up at five o'clock the next day, walked halfway across the city to queue up, put the hot beef soup in an insulated bucket, and delivered it to the maintenance room.

When Xiao Fangfei took the soup, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, but she still said softly: "Kong Haoyu, don't be so nice to me. I'm afraid you will misunderstand, and I'm also afraid that I will be distracted."

At that time, he could only smile and say, "It's okay, just consider it as the obligation of a 'fake boyfriend'", but he turned around and hid in the stairwell, clutching the empty thermos, feeling suffocated and anxious.

Kong Haoyu opened the chat history with Xiao Fangfei. The most recent one was from a few days ago: Xiao Fangfei said, "Kong Haoyu, I want to adjust the brake sensitivity. When are you free to come and help me take a look? It was a bit loose last time, and I don't feel safe when cornering."

He replied, "Okay, I'll bring the tools in advance and also bring you a new bottle of brake fluid."

He looked at the chat box, typing and deleting with his fingers - he wanted to send "After you finish practicing driving, I will treat you to Zhang Ji's beef soup. I have told the boss that it will be saved for you", but he was afraid that she would refuse; he wanted to send "I know you want to win the championship. I can wait with you, no matter how long it takes", but he was afraid that she would feel it was a burden.

The group was still bustling, and Pei Luonan rarely showed up.

"Haoyu, if you like someone, don't give up easily. Xingxing used to always say, 'Archaeology is most important, I don't want to be distracted,' but as we get to know each other better, she's finally willing to accept me."

Du Fei also said: "Brother Hao, Sister Fei looks strong, but in fact she will be sad when she is tired from practicing or loses a race. Doesn't this give you a chance?"

Kong Haoyu took a deep breath and finally sent a message in the group: "Everyone, please stop teasing Sister Fei. She's been preparing for the provincial league recently. She's been training and under a lot of pressure. She doesn't want to be distracted by these things. When she wins the championship and is willing to let go, I'll have a good chat with her. I don't want to disturb her now."

He just wanted Xiao Fangfei to focus on the game - he was afraid that the noise from the group would make her feel uncomfortable and affect her training.

After sending the message, he put down his phone and thought to himself: In fact, he is not afraid of waiting, even if it means waiting for her to win the provincial championship, wait for her to compete in the national competition, and go international. As long as she is willing, he can wait.

He was just afraid that his persistence would become a problem for her. After all, she always said, "Emotions are a burden and will distract me from the track."

On the other side, Xiao Fangfei looked at the messages in the group, and the smile on her lips slowly faded.

She remembered how Kong Haoyu looked when he confessed his love to her last time, and all the heartwarming things Kong Hao Ning had done for her.

She actually remembered all those details, but she didn't dare to respond, fearing that if she did, she would lose her focus on the game.

She sent a private message to Kong Haoyu.

"They're just joking in the group, don't take it personally. By the way, you're adjusting the brakes tomorrow, so remember to bring a small wrench. I left my box wrench in your toolbox last time."

When Kong Haoyu saw the private message, his eyes lit up instantly and he quickly replied.

"Okay, I'll be at the track half an hour early tomorrow and bring you some red bean paste buns and hot soy milk from the place at the corner of the alley. You said last time that the red bean paste buns here aren't too sweet or greasy, perfect for breakfast."

Xiao Fangfei looked at the reply, and a warm feeling rose in her heart. She paused and replied, "Okay, thank you."

Kong Haoyu held the phone in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise - he knew that Xiao Fangfei was not ready to accept feelings at the moment, but it didn't matter.

He thought that when he adjusted the brakes tomorrow, he would tell her, "Don't worry, if there are any problems, I will be waiting in the maintenance area and be your most reliable support."

Taking it slow will always let her know that he doesn't want to give her the "bondage of marriage", but wants to be the one who will always wait for her and support her on her journey to pursue her dreams.

The excitement in the group gradually died down, and everyone tacitly stopped joking, but they were all looking forward to it in their hearts.

I hope Xiao Fangfei can let down her guard against love sooner, and I hope Kong Haoyu's persistence will be responded to.

I hope that there will be another sweet couple like Pei Luonan and Gu Fanxing, Du Fei and Ling Jiuer in this small group.

Kong Haoyu in the office had already written down in his memo: "Xiao Fangfei: 2 red bean paste buns, hot soy milk with less sugar, 14mm plum wrench, choose her usual brand of brake fluid, and check the tire tread before the race."

He wrote each item with extreme care, just like remembering important motorcycle parameters, and engraved all the preferences and needs of his beloved in his heart.
