Chapter 106

Yu Na reacted for two seconds, "Ah?" She hurriedly shook her head, "Forget it, why would I talk to a stranger?"

"Then let's go to the elementary school," Xiao Chen took her hand, "You don't need to talk, are you going or not?"

"Elementary school?" Yu Na was now interested, "Did you donate to it? Where is it? Is it far?"

"Not far, just a more remote location, we'll drive there."

"Then I want to go!"

Xiao Chen looked at her indulgently: "Alright, the weather is good tomorrow anyway, the scenery there is also very nice, I'll take you out to relax."

......

The next morning, they set off on time.

Before leaving, Xiao Chen put Yu Na's favorite snacks in a bag, "The signal there is very poor, you can eat snacks if you get bored."

"No need," Yu Na said cheesily as she poked his chin, "If I get bored, I just want to kiss you!"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, "It takes about three hours to drive there, what if you get hungry?"

"If I get hungry—" Yu Na's face turned red, "We'll eat candy."

Xiao Chen: ?

Damn.

"Eating candy" no longer held its innocent meaning to him anymore.

He really felt that this girl had extreme contrasts, when shy she wanted to hide herself away, yet would blurt out blunt things when he least expected it, making him shy too.

Xiao Chen refused to admit defeat, "Oh, take a closer look in the bag."

When Yu Na opened the bag, there were several packs of candy at the very bottom, the most eye-catching being the lemon candy with its yellow packaging.

"......"

Yu Na: "You!"

Xiao Chen smugly said: "Fight me? Hmm?"

The place they were going was a village in a neighboring city county.

The weather was very good that day, the clouds were as soft as cotton, drifting at the clear blue horizon, the air was filled with the smell of sunshine everywhere.

Xiao Chen was responsible for driving, Yu Na for eating and drinking.

On the way, she wanted to reapply her lipstick, but when she opened her bag, she accidentally saw the ultra-sour preserved plums that she had bought online some time ago.

The plums had been kept in her office, and last Friday she brought them home, thinking to prank Xiao Chen when there was a chance.

But Jiang Yu's matter was so tricky that she forgot about this little mischief.

Seeing the plums now, the idea came to Yu Na again.

She pressed her lips tightly, trying her best to restrain the urge to smile wildly. While Xiao Chen was focused on driving, she quietly opened the box containing the ultra-sour plums.

She took one out and brought it to Xiao Chen's mouth, "Here, have this."

Xiao Chen was leisurely driving, catching a glimpse of this black thing from the corner of his eye, he asked: "What's this?"

"Preserved plum, I bought them online a few days ago, they've been in my bag ever since, I forgot to take them out," she added wickedly, "Super delicious."

With 100% trust in Yu Na, Xiao Chen ate the plum without any hesitation.

In an instant, it seemed like all his senses were overwhelmed by the shockingly sour taste, it felt like his soul was going to leave his body.

"......" Xiao Chen: ?

Yu Na was desperately trying not to laugh on the inside, but kept a straight face on the outside, pretending to casually ask: "Tastes good right?"

Xiao Chen smiled on the outside but not on the inside as he answered: "Yeah, tasty."

Fortunately the plum had no pit, he couldn't stand the sourness, so he just swallowed it down.

He could tell she did that on purpose, and slowly warned her: "Just you wait."

Yu Na imitated his usual nonchalant manner, "Bite me if you dare!"

But Xiao Chen actually stopped the car to find a place at the front.

Yu Na was startled: "......Ah?"

Xiao Chen ignored her, the car came to a steady stop, he held the back of Yu Na's head, disregarding her struggle, and kissed her lips.

Soon after, a slight pain swiftly came.

"Mmm......"

Amusement and provocation filled Xiao Chen's eyes and brows, "I just bit you, what about it?"

"......"

The car started again, Yu Na covered her lower lip in pain, aggrieved and unsatisfied: "Ignoring you now."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I didn't even bite hard." He turned to look at her, "Does it really hurt?"

She deliberately answered: "Yes."

"Then I'll stop the car again at the front, and you can bite me back?"

"No."

If this went on, they wouldn't even reach their destination by nighttime.

Later on, Yu Na didn't make any more trouble. The two bickered from time to time, at red lights, Xiao Chen would pinch her cheeks and ruffle her hair, his hands never resting.

......

The village they went to looked secluded from the world.

On the way, Xiao Chen took a picture of Yu Na when they got out of the car. Yu Na clamored to take one together, they had been together for so long yet barely took any nice photos together.

"Do you remember our first photo together?"

"The graduation ceremony?"

"Yeah, I attended your graduation ceremony back then, and you took photos with everyone else so......unrestrained, yet with me you were so stiff, as if I would bully you," saying this, Yu Na glared at him resentfully, "Jerk."

"......Didn't I say so? Back then I hadn't evolved from a scumbag into a human yet!"

This time in their selfie, Xiao Chen stood behind Yu Na, one arm around her waist, his head tilted slightly, it was a very intimate photo.

Yu Na happily set it as her phone wallpaper.

"Tsk tsk, not afraid of people seeing it this time?"

"Let them see," Yu Na put her phone away, "Teachers can't date anymore? I didn't let it affect my work."

Xiao Chen smiled approvingly, "That's right."

When they arrived at the elementary school entrance, Xiao Chen stopped the car, "We're here."

Yu Na usually got sleepy in the car, but not today, she was still very energetic after getting out of the car, and took a look ahead after stepping out.

The cheerful laughter of children came over.

"Isn't today Sunday?"

Xiao Chen was puzzled too: "Yeah, why are they having class today?"

Without thinking too deeply about it, Yu Na took a look at the school name: "I thought the school name would have the donor's name in it."

Xiao Chen was always low-key, "I didn't ask them to add it in, Xiao Chen Hope Elementary sounds weird."

Just then, a man walked over to them, "Mr. Xiao?"

The two looked at him together.

He was the principal of this school.

The principal said in surprise: "What brings you here?"

Xiao Chen politely smiled in response: "Just passing by here to take a look. You guys still have classes today?"

"No classes today, we're having a family sports meet, voluntary sign-ups, didn't expect so many people to sign up, the track field is very lively now," the principal looked at Yu Na, seeing how intimate they were from their interaction alone, it was clear what their relationship was, "Would you and your wife like to go in and watch?"

Being addressed this way made Yu Na blush with a racing heart.

Xiao Chen said: "Then let's go take a look."

"Wonderful, I'll have a few people show you around then."

"No need," Xiao Chen declined, "I'm just casually looking around, go about your business, Principal."

After bringing them inside, the principal enthusiastically bid them goodbye.

"Let's go——" Xiao Chen held Yu Na's hand tightly, expression suggestive, "Wife."

Yu Na: "......"

This guy!

The two strolled around the campus.

The classrooms were empty. The children's cheers were indeed coming from the direction of the track field.

When they walked over to the track field side, the family sports meet was at its climax, even from afar one could feel the joy between the parents and children.

The corners of Yu Na's mouth curved up as she asked: "How did you think of donating to an elementary school back then?"

"Didn't really think much about it, my dad does stuff like this often, I feel like it's quite meaningful, kids need to go to school at this age right? Otherwise what will they do in the future?"

He looked at the running children ahead, sighing emotionally: "Look at how happy they are, very good, very good."

Yu Na's gaze moved to him, "Where one is born cannot be chosen by oneself, but schooling can allow them to venture out, perhaps changing their destiny. Xiao Chen, you provided them an avenue to change their destiny, it's a really great thing to do."

Her words made him a little embarrassed, "You praise me too much, if I didn't do it, someone else would have."

"But the one doing it now is you." Yu Na's eyes shone with anticipation, "I have a feeling my dad will accept you."

"It's not 'will accept'," Xiao Chen was brimming with confidence, "He definitely will accept me."

Just when he finished saying this, Yu Na received two WeChat messages on her phone, right on cue.

The person sending them was none other than her dad.

When she took a look, she was so frightened her heart nearly stopped beating.

The timing and content were accurate down to every detail, it was like he was right behind them.
