The dumplings were filled with sauerkraut and were juicy, and were thoughtfully served with garlic sauce to cut through the richness. There was also Laba porridge made at home today. The ingredients were certainly not as substantial or rare as those used by Yunshu and Jingshu; they were all common ingredients from the countryside. But what was rare was the sentiment behind it, as it was specially brought to Yunshu by her uncle.
Moreover, his uncle and aunt instructed him to bring Yunshu home for dinner that evening.
As for whether Yun Shu wanted to eat these hot dumplings, she definitely did, but as for whether she still had room to eat, she didn't.
Looking at the round, plump dumplings, Yun Shu felt helpless. She hadn't even digested what she ate for lunch yet; if she ate these dumplings now, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
So he could only laugh it off to Xie Yicheng, saying that he would treat these dumplings as breakfast tomorrow. Fortunately, the Xie family invited Yun Shu over for dinner tonight, so Xie Yicheng felt that there was no problem with this arrangement.
……
Without discussing food any further, Yun Shu recalled her godparents' evaluation of Xie Yicheng over the past few days and decided to tell her 'parents' about Xie Yicheng's existence after the New Year.
After all, this boyfriend has gained the approval of some elders, and he is genuinely working hard for their future. Presumably, her parents will be more accepting of him.
Because Xie Yicheng never intended to tie Yun Shu down here after marrying her. He always respected Yun Shu's life and decisions, and was even willing to give up his comfort zone here and choose to go to Beijing, a place where he knew no one, with Yun Shu.
Yun Shu tutors him regularly, and he always takes it very seriously, never being perfunctory or impatient.
Yun Shu even had a vague feeling that he didn't feel very safe with her. And this feeling became more and more obvious after Yun Shu told Xie Yicheng that the college entrance examination would be reinstated.
Gradually, Yun Shu understood the source of Xie Yicheng's unease.
The unknown future is one issue, but the growing gap between him and Yun Shu after she went to university, as well as the opinions of Yun Shu's parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, are all problems that make Xie Yicheng anxious.
He was trying his best, but what happened in the army made him realize that in front of some people, the word "effort" is the least important thing.
After he started working at the food processing plant, Director Li, who was also Yun Shu's godfather, and Director Wang, Yun Shu's godmother, had a private conversation with him. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they vaguely revealed Yun Shu's family background.
Yun Shu's maternal grandparents held a position no less important than the family that forced Xie Yicheng to change careers. Yun Shu's decision to go to the countryside was due to the child's stubbornness, but that was also because they were confident that they wouldn't let the child suffer.
Xie Yicheng wasn't quite sure what Yun Shu's family meant by not being able to endure hardship, but he knew that he probably wasn't qualified at this point.
Everyone here says he's outstanding, but in Beijing… he's probably just an ordinary person, blending into the crowd. Can an ordinary person marry a woman as exceptional as Yun Shu?
And most importantly, Yun Shu never mentioned that she needed to inform her parents about their relationship.
This is what motivates Xie Yicheng to work so hard to make money lately.
Yun Shu saw all of this. After all, the last time she couldn't help but look at Xie Yicheng's character profile from a god's-eye view, she saw that his mood column was full of anxiety.
……
After packing up the things Xie Yicheng brought, Yun Shu turned to look at Xie Yicheng, whose gaze had been following her. She slowly walked up to him and then snuggled into his arms.
Xie Yicheng skillfully opened his arms, letting the little girl wrap her arms around his waist, and then placed one hand on Yun Shu's head and gently stroked it.
"What's wrong? Did something upset you? Or did you have a fight with Lin Zhiqing?"
He was still anxious himself, yet he was busy comforting others. Yun Shu sighed inwardly at the foolish man, while also feeling a little smug about her own charm.
She raised her hand and touched the man's lean and strong waist, then rubbed her head against his not-too-thick and not-too-exaggerated chest muscles, satisfied with what she had, like a kitten being affectionate.
However, the adorable kitten then made a surprising statement the next second: "After the New Year, I will write a letter to my parents and tell them that I am with someone named Xie Yicheng, in a relationship with marriage as the goal."
Xie Yicheng: "...!"
Xie Yicheng's hand, which had been stroking her hair, stopped. Her heart began to race, making Yun Shu's ears ache.
The other hand that was loosely wrapped around Yun Shu's back also stiffened. He lowered his head and looked at the girl's extremely innocent eyes. He felt his throat was dry and itchy, and he had so many things he wanted to say but couldn't say them.
The little girl took the opportunity to grope him all over, but Xie Yicheng didn't have time to pay attention. He slowly cupped Yun Shu's face with both hands, preventing her mischievous little head from turning around.
Slowly bending down, forehead to forehead, Xie Yicheng looked at the cunning and mischievousness in Yun Shu's eyes, and the obvious smile, and finally couldn't help but ask in a slightly hoarse voice, "Shu Shu, what you just said... please say it again, okay?"
“I said I was going to tell my parents that I was dating you, and that you would be their son-in-law…”
Xie Yicheng forced himself to listen to the last sentence before finally taking the girl's torturous cherry lips into his mouth.
One hand that was holding her cheek was freed to hold the little girl's hands in place as she struggled wildly in surprise, while the other hand was placed behind Yun Shu's head to prevent her from having any chance to escape.
Of course, Yun Shu never considered running away. Because this was not only Xie Yicheng's favorite pose, but also Yun Shu's favorite pose.
In the room with the curtains drawn, Xie Yicheng pressed her against the door and kissed her without restraint. People passing by would subconsciously glance into the room, perhaps wondering why there was smoke coming out of Yun Shu's chimney but no one in sight.
Little did they know that right behind the door, Yun Shu, who was nowhere to be seen, was being kissed so hard she couldn't breathe.
……
As dusk fell, Xie Yicheng kissed Yun Shu to his heart's content, and even couldn't resist leaving a small plum blossom mark on her collarbone.
The little girl's eyes were wet and misty; she could only nestle in his arms to calm her breathing.
Of course, he wasn't having an easy time either. It was quite a while before the blush on his face faded and he returned to normal, even after it got dark.
The two sat down at the table by the window. Yun Shu's small hand was still held in his palm. This time, Yun Shu dared not cause any more trouble and obediently told Xie Yicheng all her thoughts.
As Yun Shu explained to him step by step how to get her parents to accept him as their future son-in-law, Xie Yicheng's anxiety subsided considerably.
