If You Became Bald

After contemplating for a while, Yang Chen asked, “Darling, is being with me really all that stressful? Please be honest.”

An Xin blinked a few times. “Stressful? Of course, it is.”

Yang Chen gave in eventually.

He sat up to let An Xin lie on his lap, “Alright you can sleep. I’ll take you out for lunch when you wake.”

An Xin relaxed and nodded. Her eyes closed and she went into deep sleep minutes later out of exhaustion.

Yang Chen caressed her hair.

An Xin’s breathing settled into a rhythmic pattern. “Hubby… if you keep stroking my hair like that I’ll turn bald…”

“I’ll leave you if you become bald,” Yang Chen joked.

An Xin pouted. “Don’t leave me… I’ll still love you even if you become fat and old…”

Yang Chen’s hand paused when he heard that, his eyes filled with affection.

An Xin woke up several hours later. It was already twelve in the afternoon.

An Xin decided to skip work since Yang Chen said they would go out for lunch together. It’s not like anyone could control her.

Yang Chen became her only ‘family’ ever since she had a falling out with her real family.

Yang Chen had already texted Guo Xuehua to inform them that they didn’t have to wait for him. He took An Xin out to a restaurant for lunch after she got ready.

Although he was worried about Lin Ruoxi, he knew that the best remedy for many things was time. So he tried to talk about the interesting experiences he had encountered overseas, as an attempt to get closer to her.

They walked around the mall hand-in-hand. As they passed the cinemas, An Xin said, “Hubby, Spider-Man 4 is just released, isn’t it? Let’s go watch it!”

Yang Chen frowned. He was never really a fan of sci-fi action movies. His life was more interesting and filled with real-life people with superpowers.

“What’s so interesting about watching a guy swing here and there? If you want I can carry you and fly.” Yang Chen wasn’t amused.

An Xin pouted. “Oh… Do you think I’m childish?”

Yang Chen was stunned for a while and replied, “No, let’s go watch it.”

“Hmm?” An Xin couldn’t understand why he changed his mind.

Yang Chen explained. “I always force my opinion on you guys. You reminded me how hurtful my actions can be. That’s why I want to take the initiative and do things that you guys might enjoy. I’ll watch Spider-Man with you and then I’ll watch Korean dramas with Ruoxi at night when I get home. That way you can say that we have more in common.”

An Xin beamed and kissed his cheeks. “That’s great, but don’t turn into a sissy from watching Korean dramas!”

Yang Chen smiled and said nothing. He had An Xin wait for him while he queued up for tickets.

Because the movie was a new release, many people were already waiting in line for the movie. Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry anyway so he just stood and waited.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar silhouette that he had almost forgotten from the corner of his eye…
