Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

"See a movie?"

"What, you don't want to?"

Xu Tian quickly waved his hand, "No, it's just that I was thinking of buying Nuan Nuan's gift first."

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "What you're looking at is all for fooling children, how could she possibly appreciate it!"

"Come see a movie with me, and I'll take care of the gift. Isn't that a good deal?"

Although Zhao Jing often joked with him, Xu Tian trusted her when it came to choosing gifts. After all, the jade bracelet Chu Lan wore was based on Zhao Jing's suggestion, and Chu Lan really liked it.

With that in mind, Xu Tian didn't hesitate and decided to accompany Zhao Jing to see a movie.

There was a movie theater on the fifth floor of the mall, and the two took the elevator to the entrance of the movie theater.

"What do you want to see?" Xu Tian asked casually.

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes. "Of course it's a romance movie! Otherwise, are we two almost thirty going to see Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"

Xu Tian pouted. It seemed that Zhao Jing had been acting strangely ever since he and Chu Lan went public with their relationship. Although she hadn't been serious before, she had never been this sarcastic and unpredictable. Thinking of this, Xu Tian sighed inwardly.

"Then let's look at this one."

Zhao Jing didn't say much this time, just nodded in agreement. Xu Tian bought two tickets and went in with her.

Inside the movie theater, the lights were dim and hazy, and the light and shadow on the big screen were intertwined.

Zhao Jing sat beside Xu Tian, ​​occasionally turning her head to chat and laugh with him. The two were so close they could feel each other's breath. At one point, Zhao Jing unconsciously reached out and gently placed her hand on Xu Tian's arm. It was an unintentional touch, yet it made Xu Tian's heart skip a beat. He turned to look at Zhao Jing and saw that her gaze was focused on the movie, a faint smile on her face. That smile, reflected in the light and shadow, made him momentarily lose his senses.

He hadn't been to the cinema in a long time; the last time was when he was in college, watching a movie with his classmates.

At this moment, the big screen was showing a scene of the male and female protagonists reuniting after ten years of separation, and soft sobs could be heard from the surroundings.

Xu Tian asked, puzzled, "You're crying already?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing rested her entire head on Xu Tian's shoulder and sniffed.

"Don't you think it's touching? I wish I could have a boyfriend who is so affectionate."

Xu Tian stiffened slightly, then comforted her, "Alright, stop crying. The scenes in the movie are all fake. Don't let them fool you into tears."

Zhao Jing raised her head and looked at Xu Tian. "If it were you, would you wait ten years for the person you love?"

This really stumped Xu Tian, ​​but given his personality, as long as it's not a question that would shatter his worldview, he should probably agree, right?

Zhao Jing added, "Asking you is pointless!"

Xu Tian smiled helplessly, "People change. Ten years is enough time to change a person. Nobody can say for sure..."

Zhao Jing gently patted Xu Tian's chest, "When did you become so realistic!"

Xu Tian was stunned by those words. Zhao Jing reminded him, when did he start to become so realistic? When he was with Zhang Qian before, he never thought so much. He always felt that love should last until he was powerless to change anything, so as not to betray his feelings.

But all of this resulted in Zhang Qian's repeated betrayals. Even though he now has a girlfriend, Chu Lan, he doesn't feel that they can be together forever. He's even prepared for her to leave at any time. Is it because he doesn't love her enough? Or is it because he lacks a sense of security?

At this moment, Zhao Jing whispered, "Admit it, Xu Tian, ​​all men are the same. If you invest too much in a woman, you will naturally become devoted to her. Because you have given so much, you want to hold on tight. Isn't Zhang Qian a perfect example?"

Although Xu Tian wanted to deny it, his words were crude but his reasoning was sound. It was indeed the case that he had given everything, even his life, for Zhang Qian in the past, which was why he felt resentful. But that was not right. Chu Lan was a good person, and she deserved him to treat her better, even better!

"If only you were mine..."

Zhao Jing stared at the big screen with red eyes and murmured.

Xu Tian's heart tightened. Perhaps it was the different atmosphere in the movie theater, but his heart started pounding when he heard those words. However, he already had a girlfriend, and since he couldn't be responsible for other women, the best way was not to take the initiative or provoke them.

After watching the movie, Zhao Jing went to the restroom before coming out.

"I cried so much my makeup is all messed up. Can you check if I've fixed my lipstick?"

Caught off guard, Xu Tian leaned in to observe closely. Just then, Zhao Jing's warm lips made intimate contact with Xu Tian's lips, but they quickly separated.

Zhao Jing's face turned bright red. "This is what you owe me!"

Xu Tian couldn't tell whether he liked it or resisted it; in that short second, he really didn't have time to think.

"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, go pick out a gift while I'm in a good mood!"

Zhao Jing smiled slightly, and Xu Tian glanced at her with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything more.

"How about we buy a pair of shoes?"

When they came across a shoe store, Xu Tian pointed to a pair of sneakers in the window.

Based on his understanding of Su Nuannuan, she didn't like wearing high heels unless it was for business entertainment or she had no other choice, so a pair of comfortable sneakers was a necessity for her.

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes helplessly. "Who gives shoes as a birthday present? Giving shoes has a bad connotation; it means she wants you to leave. Do you want her to stay away from you?"

Xu Tianzhen had no idea that there were so many rules to giving a pair of shoes as a gift, so he quickly withdrew his hand and obediently followed behind Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing added, "Giving shoes as a gift isn't impossible, but whoever you're giving them to should transfer you a few dollars to break that superstition. But you can give shoes anytime, as for birthday gifts..."

Zhao Jing carefully recalled what Xu Tian had told her. Although he and Su Nuannuan were childhood sweethearts, they had been separated for a long time. This meant that this was the first time Xu Tian had celebrated Su Nuannuan's birthday in so many years, so he had to choose a slightly more expensive gift to show that he valued her.

Zhao Jing simply took Xu Tian to a jewelry store.

"Give me a necklace with a good meaning."

Xu Tian nodded, suggesting that Zhao Jing choose a swan diamond necklace according to her aesthetic preferences.

The price was reasonable, since the diamonds were small pieces used as embellishments and weren't very valuable. A necklace would only cost around ten thousand yuan, which Su Nuannuan should be able to accept. Xu Tian readily paid the money.

Having chosen the gift, Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't really good at giving gifts to girls; he was afraid of making a mistake and also afraid that the girl wouldn't like it.

"Madam, I see you came with your boyfriend. We have couple rings here. Would you like to participate in an event today?"

A sales assistant with a bright smile approached the two of them.
