Chapter 398: A Walk in the Civil Affairs Bureau
Her voice was low and muffled. Beauty Wu hoped that Wei Shuyi heard her, but she also hoped that he didn’t.
Wei Shuyi was eating fish. His spits were high and his expression did not change.
Beauty Wu thought that he probably did not guess what she had just said.
She could not help but feel disappointed.
During the meal, Yuan Jun called.
The results of the checkup were out.
Wei Shuyi looked at the caller ID and raised his head to say to Beauty Wu, “I’m taking a call.”
He never avoided answering his phone.
Beauty Wu felt that it was strange, but she did not ask further. “Go.”
Wei Shuyi stood up with his phone and went outside the restaurant to answer the call.
In less than three minutes, Wei Shuyi returned. His expression was lively, like a farmer who had worked hard for half his life that had suddenly put down the heavy burden on his shoulders. He was especially relaxed. He placed his phone on the table and said to Beauty Wu, “Yuan Jun called.”
“Tsk, why are you answering the phone behind my back then? Who cares?”
Wei Shuyi didn’t deny it.
They continued eating.
Beauty Wu was especially careful when she ate the fish. Wei Shuyi wanted to laugh when he saw this.
Eventually, he laughed.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so careful? Are you afraid of fish bones getting stuck in your throat?”
“When I was young, I had a fishbone stuck in my throat.” Beauty Wu’s expression turned ugly at the thought of that experience. “It was this long.” She estimated its length with her fingers, which was about the length of her pinky.
Wei Shuyi was a little surprised. “Impressive. How did you swallow such a long bone?”
Beauty Wu also found it hard to believe. “I don’t even know how I ate it. Anyway, the experience was especially scary.” She shivered and sighed. “So I rarely eat fish in my life.”
It was embarrassing to say that the fearless girl was actually afraid of fish.
After saying that, she saw Wei Shuyi reach out his long hands to take away the bowl of fish in front of her.
“What are you doing?” After she asked, she saw Wei Shuyi lowering his head and picking out the fish bones for her with his chopsticks.
He looked as focused and serious as he was on the operating table.
Beauty Wu was touched.
She was stunned.
A moment later, Wei Shuyi placed the fish in front of her.
Beauty Wu lowered her head and looked at the fish without saying anything. She heard Wei Shuyi’s charming voice. He said, “In the future, I’ll pick fish bones for you for the rest of your life.”
She was so touched that she did not know what to do.
She looked up in a panic and met Wei Shuyi’s loving eyes.
Beauty Wu’s eyes met Wei Shuyi’s.
His eyes were hazel.
Beauty Wu suddenly felt that hazel was the most affectionate color in the world.
“Sure.”
After saying that, she wanted to laugh. Just as she was about to curl her lips, she realized that she was sniffling. She stopped laughing and told Wei Shuyi honestly. “I feel like crying.” The older she was, the easier it was for her to be touched. Just a few words could move her to tears.
Wei Shuyi smiled and said, “Then cry.”
He told her to cry, but Beauty Wu did not.
She smiled through her tears and said, “I won’t cry.”
After dinner, the two of them paid the bill and planned to watch a movie.
After leaving the restaurant, they walked for more than ten minutes towards the street on the right. There was a cinema there. It was not big and there were not many people, but the environment was not bad. The two of them planned to watch a movie there and walked side by side towards the cinema. When they passed by the traffic lights, Wei Shuyi subconsciously grabbed Beauty Wu.
Beauty Wu pursed her lips and chuckled.
Looking up at the red light opposite them, Wei Shuyi suddenly said, “I changed my plane ticket to three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
Beauty Wu looked up in surprise and asked him, “Why?”
He said, “I have something on in the morning. You have to accompany me.”
“Hm?”
Wei Shuyi lowered his head to look at Beauty Wu. His eyes were filled with passion and seriousness.
Beauty Wu’s face turned hot. Wei Shuyi then asked, “Civil Affairs Bureau. Are you coming with me?”
Beauty Wu was stunned.
It turned out that he had heard everything she had said at the dining table.
She nodded and told Wei Shuyi, “Not to mention accompanying you to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I’ll even accompany you to the wedding hall, new house, delivery room… and even a coffin.”
When Wei Shuyi heard Beauty Wu’s confession, he was both touched and shocked.
“There’s no need for you to accompany me in a coffin.” It sounded strange and scary.
Beauty Wu also felt that her words were inappropriate.
“As long as you know what I mean.”
“I understand.”
He naturally understood what she meant.
What she wanted to say was that she would be with him in life and in death.
He could not help but hold her hand again.
Beauty Wu held his hand back.
The two of them bought a cup of milk tea and a cup of coffee at the milk tea shop outside the cinema before entering the theater. Wei Shuyi went to buy tickets while Beauty Wu went to buy popcorn.
There were quite a lot of people in the cinema today, but they all chose the fantasy film and romance film. No one cared about the anime film. The two of them entered the theater and realized that other than them, there were only three audience members.
“Tsk, we almost booked the entire venue.”
“Yes.”
They sat down in their seats.
They were serious about watching the movie and chose the best seats. Their seats were in the middle of the theater. Even if they were watching a movie, they were especially focused.
After watching the movie, Beauty Wu actually dared to cry until her eyes were red and swollen.
“This is a good movie,” she said to Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi didn’t say anything. He only looked at Beauty Wu in surprise.
She could even cry until her eyes were swollen from watching a movie. This was really…
This anime movie was about a person’s life.
From the time he cried when he was young to the time he reached olf age, the overall pace of the story was slow. The music was gentle and slow. It was sad and funny at the appropriate times. What touched Beauty Wu the most was that after the male lead lost his wife when he was of middle age, he did not remarry because he cared about his son’s feelings. Later on, his son established a family and felt that his father was a burden to him, so he found a caregiver for his father.
In a fit of anger, the male lead ran to the old folks’ home.
What made Beauty Wu cry was the sentence the male lead said before he went to the old folks’ home. “Your mother said that you look like her. I think you’re not even 1% as good as her.”
Wei Shuyi also felt that this movie was too sad, but he really couldn’t cry.
After returning home, Beauty Wu was about to fall asleep when she recalled the contents of the movie and actually cried again.
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
He turned on the bedside lamp and sat up. He turned sideways and lowered his head to ask Beauty Wu, “Why are you crying?”
Beauty Wu covered her eyes with her arm and cried until the pillow was wet.
She sobbed and said, “I… I thought that if I were the wife of that male lead, and our child treated you like that after I died, you… you would be so pitiful!” Her tone was filled with pity.
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
