Chapter 844 326: Calm and Gentle as a Chrysanthemum, Xia Ruyi (Part 2)
That's right, I'm hungry now, and I want to eat too. Wait a minute, don't eat yet, I'll go get a bowl.Xia Ruyi walked to the kitchen with cheerful little steps.
When she returned, she was carrying chopsticks and a bowl as big as the one in front of him.
Then leisurely picked up noodles from his bowl.
One portion for you, one portion for me, just like that.
Seeing the youthful expression suddenly appear on her face, Sun Dasheng felt his heart flutter.
This woman's feeling was different from anyone else.
She seemed like an ungrown child, but not quite, as she'd graduated from university and understood what she needed to.
Yet, she was very different from those adults who had stepped into society.
You could say she understands the complexities of the world but remains unaffected by them.
Still maintaining that innate innocence.
In a martial arts novel, she might be a prodigy with a pure heart.
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.
The noodle-picking Xia Ruyi looked at him with a confused face: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"
"Oh, nothing. Is what's in your bowl enough to eat?" Sun Dasheng quickly switched topics.
Sure enough, she couldn't compare to an old fox, as she was quickly distracted, "Oh, it's enough, can you finish what's left in your bowl?"
"No problem!"
"Alright, I'm going to eat now!" Before eating, Xia Ruyi rubbed her chopsticks together.
The action intrigued Sun Dasheng, "Is that a habit from frequently eating takeout?"
"How did you know?" Xia Ruyi asked curiously.
When she was in university, she didn't like the canteen food. Coincidentally, several food delivery platforms were having price wars to attract users, constantly distributing coupons, so she developed a habit of ordering takeout.
Since the disposable wooden chopsticks often had splinters, she would rub them together to smooth them out, so they wouldn't hurt her mouth while eating.
"Because I also often ate takeout before, did you think I'd never eaten it?" Sun Dasheng blinked at her.
Xia Ruyi nodded cutely: "I thought rich people like you never ate such junk food."
"Simpleton, do you think money comes out of nowhere? I'm not a second-generation rich, so of course, I've gone through hardships."
"Oh, that's a bit odd." Xia Ruyi furrowed her brow.
"What's odd?" Sun Dasheng asked curiously.
"You don't have any nouveau riche vibe!" Xia Ruyi spoke frankly.
This comment amused Sun Dasheng.
"Why are you laughing? I'm speaking the truth. I've seen many nouveau riche driving luxury cars to pick up women at school, their presence is quite impressionable."
Xia Ruyi talked about her experiences.
Sun Dasheng enjoyed listening to her sharing because she rarely talked so much in front of him.
"Tell me, I'm curious about this sort of thing, I've never seen it firsthand. Society wasn't so restless when I was studying, nor so money-focused."
Sun Dasheng explained.
"Your era was quite cozy for university, ours is completely different, full of nonsense."
"Like what?"
"For example, luxury cars parked outside the school every weekend, and the ongoing tension between boys and girls in school, with various extreme online personas carrying over offline."
Xia Ruyi complained.
"Is it really that serious?" Sun Dasheng hadn't expected it.
This trend has emerged not even a few years, just transmitted domestically from Europe, America, Japan and Korea, the situation escalated quickly.
They took decades, we took years?
Truly one word: Speed!
Seems no one's pressing the brakes, but hitting the accelerator madness!
"Yes, let's not talk about these disheartening things." Xia Ruyi waved her hand.
"Alright, there's really nothing worth mentioning. It's just dissatisfied people asking for privilege, successful ones don't care for it, happy ones aren't interested, and hard-working ones don't have time for such trivial matters."
After eating noodles, Xia Ruyi cleaned up the table.
As she returned, Sun Dasheng pulled her into an embrace, whispering in her ear: "Let's submit our homework!"
"Oh dear! No, no!" Xia Ruyi, unusually flustered, probably hasn't fully embraced her role.
Can't blame her, the communication between them has indeed been scarce.
Sun Dasheng hit once, then it's pregnancy and childbirth, then... that's it.
It seemed like just that one time?
No wonder she's so reluctant now.
"The child is about to wake up, yes, the child is about to wake up." She found an excuse quickly.
This excuse, Sun Dasheng couldn't counter.
He could only say: "Take me to see the child, I haven't really come to see since the little one was born."
"Okay, I'll take you." Xia Ruyi tidied her clothes, feeling relieved as she walked ahead.
The children's room was very kawaii.
It was all pink, truly showing that Xia Ruyi was an attentive mother.
Whether the little one liked it was unknown, but her mom obviously loved pink.
Proving she harbors a little girl in her heart.
"Jingjing!" Sun Dasheng softly called his baby daughter's name by the crib.
Something miraculous happened, the little one opened her eyes, not crying, but looking toward the voice, then upon seeing a face, she seemed to recognize it, her tiny face broke into a squeaky smile, her little hands constantly waving.
This sight astonished Xia Ruyi, "She seems to remember you."
"Of course, I am her father, there's no daughter not recognizing her father." Sun Dasheng laughed as he walked over and picked her up.
The little one's eyes darted around, seemingly assessing this 'daddy' she'd not seen for a while.
"She's quite adorable, doesn't cry at all?" Sun Dasheng holding his daughter, looked at Xia Ruyi beside him and asked.
Xia Ruyi talked about their daughter, her eyes filled with laughter and overflowing affection: "Yes, indeed, she's different from ordinary children, rarely cried since birth, only cries when needing a diaper change, hinting me to change her diapers."
"Very smart, she takes after me." Sun Dasheng shamelessly claimed the credit.
Xia Ruyi didn't refute, she felt it was true.
She considered herself not particularly smart, their daughter's intelligence must have been inherited from the father.
"Haven't decided her formal name yet, I'll give it now. Do you have any good names? If you have nice ones, I'm open to your suggestions."
It was agreed upon when the child was born that formal naming rights go to him, the dad, while nicknames are Xia Ruyi's. Their other children followed the same rule.
But seeing Xia Ruyi had such a well-behaved, sensible daughter, he wanted to reward her, giving the naming right.
"Really? I've secretly thought of many names." Xia Ruyi was openly delighted to hear this.
"Definitely, would I lie to you? Let me hear those names you thought of." Sun Dasheng encouraged.
Xia Ruyi counted on her fingers: "Sun Yizhen, Sun Yunzhu, Sun...."
"Stop, stop right there!" Sun Dasheng urgently halted her.
"What's wrong? Is something amiss?" Xia Ruyi was puzzled.
"These...weren't inspired by Korean dramas, were they?" Sun Dasheng was exasperated, the names carried a strong Korean vibe.
"Ah, it seems so." Xia Ruyi bemused herself, sticking out her tongue: "I was just making them up, but now your reminder made me realize it might be due to the Korean drama influence from my student days."
"Damn it, thank goodness for the early ban, or else these would corrupt countless youths." Sun Dasheng remarked.
