After having a lovely dinner at a five-star hotel, Xiaosi and Caihong set out to catch a movie. While Xiaosi stood in line for buying popcorn and snacks, Caihong checked on Chyou, who was staying with Ah Cy and Liang.
"Chyou is doing fine. Liang feels as if he is in heaven playing with two cute girls."
Caihong chuckled. "Guess I will have a problem in taking her back."
"No kidding. Liang might even suggest something as preposterous as adopting her."
"Hahaha."
"So, so! How is your date going~" Ah Cy teased.
She blushed. "We just finished our dinner and are now at the moviplex."
Caihong peeked and saw that Xiaosi was still waiting in the line. She hesitantly asked, "Ah Cy. Do you think he will like my gift?"
Since this was their first date, Caihong wanted to do something special for him. She thought that a nice gift would definitely make him happy. But it was hard to choose a gift. In the end, she settled for something, but now she was doubtful if it was too simple.
Ah Cy sighed. "He won't like it, Caihong."
Her shoulders drooped. "I knew it."
"I said that the best gift is to wrap yourself and present him."
"..."
"Ah Cy!"
"What? I am telling you Xiaosi will definitely like it more. I hope you are wearing a sexy bra inside like I had advised. That is a great seductive trick. Always works on Liang."
Caihong blushed even more. "I-It's just a date…"
"Tsk. So boring. In fact I will say that this date is a perfect chance for you to do some naughty things. We will take care of Chyou, don't worry," she giggled.
Caihong automatically glanced at Xiaosi, and his handsome side profile made her cheeks turn redder.
Then there was a change in Ah Cy's tone, and she carefully asked, "Caihong. Are you hesitating because of that night?"
She slightly widened her eyes.
"I mean, do you feel you are not ready?"
She parted her lips but said nothing in the end. She thought for some moments and whispered, "No. It's not that. Xiaosi protected me that night. I don't feel traumatized. I don't want the past to interfere anymore. It's just…"
"Haha, are you nervous?"
She fiddled with her hair lock. "...A little."
Ever since they spent that night where Xiaosi pleasured her, she knew it was a matter of time that they would reach the next step.
This was the same as giving her first time away, and as with every first time a woman feels, she too felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"Why? I am sure Xiaosi will treat you as some delicate flower."
She blushed.
"Don't overthink. You two deserve this happiness. Don't let anything come between you two."
They hung up. Caihong saw Xiaosi coming towards her, carrying two huge trays of coke and popcorn.
Caihong helplessly chuckled. "We just had our dinner."
Xiaosi sincerely said, "Popcorn always has a separate place in the stomach. So does coke."
Her mouth twitched.
He smiled. "Let's go."
---
They exited the movie hall after two and a half hours, laughing and holding hands. They decided to take a long walk in the nearby park before heading home.
The cool night breeze softly kissed their face, making them feel at peace.
Xiaosi nervously said, "I hope you liked the arrangements I did for our date," he coughed, "I don't remember how we used to do it previously, but I hope you enjoyed it."
Caihong smiled. "It was wonderful. We had good food, watched a movie together and are now taking a peaceful walk. What more does anybody want? I prefer spending simple time together like this rather than some lavish arrangements."
Xiaosi smiled.
They walked together some more, and she finally started to get nervous. Xiaosi caught her glancing in her bag from time to time and then saw hesitation flash across her beautiful face.
He curiously asked, "Do you want to say something to me?"
She coughed. "No."
"You definitely do. Tell me what it is."
"I-I really don't-"
"I won't go home until you tell me what it is," he stood firm.
Caihong pursed her lips. She took out a small gift box. "I... It's just a gift I bought…" she mumbled.
Xiaosi looked at her, stunned.
"Then why didn't you give me yet?"
She looked away. "I am not sure if you will like it…"
He grimaced. He snatched the box from hands, making her eyes widen. "Give it back!"
"This is for me, so naturally, I should have it."
Xiaosi quickly and eagerly unwrapped the small gift box. He opened it and found a beautiful tie clip inside. In it, there were his initials engraved.
ZX.
Caihong felt apprehensive. "Y-You don't have to accept it if you don't like it...It's nothing fancy…"
Suddenly, she felt his warm lips on hers. She stood frozen, blinking her eyes. He moved his lips across hers and kissed her hard.
Xiaosi stared at her hard. "Did you really think I won't like your gift? As long as it's from you, I will treasure everything you will give me," he whispered in her ear.
"Thank you, Caihong. I love it."
Her face turned red, and she lowered her head.
"I will wear this everyday."
"Y-You don't have to wear it everyday…"
He chuckled. "Of course I do. But you were right. This gift isn't perfect."
She pursed her lips, and her gaze dimmed.
Xiaosi smiled. "Instead of my initials, I would have loved to see your name engraved in it. Then ii will be my lucky charm~"
Her face turned even brighter. "You...You are the one going to wear it. It's a men's accessory. How can it have a woman's name? People will laugh at you."
He pulled her waist and lifted her chin. "You are not any woman. You are my wife. And I don't care about anybody's opinions. If anybody dares to laugh, I will bankrupt his company."
"..."
Caihong peeked at him. "You really like it?"
He gave a mischievous smile and leaned in to kiss her again. This time, it was harder, fiercer and wetter than the last time that smeared her lipstick off and made her feel breathless by the long kiss.
"I guess you got my answer," he chuckled.
