"Ye Chen, I’m never going out with you again." Song Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

"Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?" Ye Chen asked, confused.

"So you won’t attract other girls when we’re out; it makes me angry when I see it." Song Xiaoxiao said bluntly.

Ye Chen looked aggrieved and said, "I’m innocent, really, more innocent than Dou E. I bet it’ll start snowing soon."

"How can you say you’re innocent? Look at how many girls have liked you and wanted you to be their boyfriend since we went out?"

"Xiaoxiao, you’re wrong to say that. It’s my fault for being so handsome and attracting so many girls. I am guilty." Ye Chen retorted.

Before Song Xiaoxiao could speak, Ye Chen said, "Xiaoxiao, how about this: next time we go out, I’ll gear up completely—mask and sunglasses—so others can’t see my face."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

"Xiaoxiao, your laughter means you’re not angry with me anymore, right?" Ye Chen quickly said.

Ye Chen had his ways of appeasing his girlfriend, following a principle that when she’s angry, regardless of who’s at fault, he ought to bow down and admit he’s wrong.

Therefore, no one can stay angry anymore.

"Ye Chen, stop being so conceited. I’m in no mood to be angry with you." Song Xiaoxiao glared at Ye Chen.

Song Xiaoxiao was indeed easy to appease, and Ye Chen knew this.

Besides, this wasn’t Ye Chen’s fault; after thinking it through, Song Xiaoxiao realized those girls were just bold, and it had nothing to do with Ye Chen.

Two people together should be happy, so why let trivial things spoil good moods?

"Xiaoxiao, have you decided?" Ye Chen asked gently.

"Yes, I’ll stick with this one." Song Xiaoxiao said.

This store had a lot of crystal ball music boxes, but she felt the one she chose before was prettier.

"Waiter, we want this one." Ye Chen pointed at the purple carousel music box in front of them.

The female server smiled upon hearing this, knowing that the one Ye Chen bought was upscale and naturally expensive.

Just now, those female customers watched Ye Chen decline girls’ confessions, and even when Song Xiaoxiao was unreasonable, he still indulged her.

Now they saw Ye Chen spend over two thousand on a carousel music box for Song Xiaoxiao, showing envious expressions.

Of course, among these people, most men thought spending a hundred on a music box was entirely unnecessary.

"Honey, look at him, buying such an expensive gift for his girlfriend. I just asked for something worth three hundred, and you keep stalling, making me so sad." A girl spoke to her boyfriend.

The man was also surprised by Ye Chen’s actions, seeing Ye Chen looking like a college student but being so generous.

Moreover, he watched Ye Chen indulge Song Xiaoxiao, admiring him; if he were accused by his girlfriend, he would leave angrily, rather than staying in the store and picking a music box with her.

Not only that couple, but other girls present also used Ye Chen’s example to teach their boyfriends.

"Look at him, then at yourself. You get angry at a little thing and are so stingy."

"Honey, learn from him. As a man, you should learn to be soft in front of your girlfriend, don’t you think so?"

Voices of girls admonishing boys echoed around.

Those men listened quietly, not daring to breathe loudly.

Before this, they thought they treated their girlfriends well, but seeing Ye Chen, they reflected a bit.

Of course, Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao heard these remarks too.

"Xiaoxiao, see how lucky you are, it’s like you found a treasure." Ye Chen said proudly.

"Ye Chen, stop being so arrogant. What treasure are you?" Song Xiaoxiao countered.

Despite her words, her heart was blooming with joy.

Regarding looks, Ye Chen could rival movie stars, and in terms of generosity, he was far better than most, with unparalleled care and love for his girlfriend.

"Miss, you are so fortunate; look at your boyfriend buying you such an expensive gift." The female server said with envy.

Ye Chen heard this and laughed heartily, knowing that in their eyes, spending a thousand was considered valuable, but for him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Song Xiaoxiao said nothing, but her face blushed slightly.

The two of them carried the packaged carousel music box out of the store under everyone’s envious gazes.

It was dinnertime, and since Song Xiaoxiao wanted grilled fish, they went to a newly opened shop.

Following the server’s recommendation, they ordered a bass with vine pepper and green pepper flavor and some hot pot ingredients, trying this taste for the first time.

Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao approached this with trial-and-error spirit, because the store was new, and the server’s suggestion might not suit their tastes.

But when the fish arrived, the aroma wafting from the pot made their mouths water uncontrollably.

They had to admit, this taste was tantalizing, prompting their appetites even before tasting.

Previously, they felt they hadn’t digested lunch, deciding to eat lightly for dinner.

However, smelling this numbing fragrance made them feel hungry.

Without a word, they picked up their chopsticks and began eating, no longer conversing.

Soon, the fish was devoured, leaving only bones, and Song Xiaoxiao even ate a bowl of rice today.

She was supposed to be dieting recently, avoiding staples.

The fish’s flavor was so enticing, and the grilled fish’s broth mixed with the rice’s aroma was irresistible; she planned to eat a few bites but ended up consuming a full bowl.

Song Xiaoxiao looked at the empty bowl before her, feeling guilty.

She had controlled herself for days but made an exception today.

"Ye Chen, it’s your fault for making me eat so much tonight; now I’ve gained weight again." Song Xiaoxiao said, puffing up angrily.

Ye Chen looked at the girl before him, amused; Song Xiaoxiao seemed like an angry pufferfish.

"Xiaoxiao, you’ll be even cuter with a bit of weight." Ye Chen chuckled.

"Hmph, I don’t want that. What should I do now? I’m gaining weight again, boo hoo hoo~~~" Song Xiaoxiao felt wronged.

This time, she truly enjoyed the meal, but her weight was going up.

Gaining weight is easy, but losing a few pounds is quite challenging.

"Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao, I have a solution." Ye Chen smiled.

"Ye Chen, really? Tell me quickly." Song Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

"It’s a secret." Ye Chen teasingly replied.
