The two returned to the hotel for a brief lunch, and then rested for the afternoon.
Dinner was at an old Michelin three-star restaurant nearby. The environment in the restaurant was very elegant. A small bouquet of beautiful roses was placed on each table, each rose’s petal was fresh with water droplets on it.
The warm yellow lighting, combined with the soothing music played by the violinist, made the overall environment very elegant yet relaxed.
The sky was getting dark, and through the tall, crystalline-like windows, they could see the brightly lit and beautiful night view of the city.
After waiting for a long time, the waiter pushed the small dining cart to serve the dishes. The dishes were arranged extremely delicately, and each dish could be called a masterful work of art.
“Well, it tastes good,” The pasta with tomato bolognese tasted authentic. It was sour yet savory, a little bit sweet, aromatic, and very appetizing.
Yu Antong cut a piece of black pepper steak with the knife and put it in his mouth. The medium-rare beef was tender and flavorful. The classic black pepper taste was not greasy at all, and the garnish of broccoli and cherry tomatoes was both a visual delight and tasty.
Even though he was not very keen on Western food, he has to say that the food in this restaurant was really good. The only flaw was that he couldn’t drink alcohol due to his pregnancy. It made the delicious beef steak feel incomplete, as it was best paired with a red wine on the side.
Yu Antong looked eagerly at the red wine in Xing Lixuan’s hand. “I want to drink it too.”
Xing Lixuan raised his hand and called the waiter over.
“Good evening Sir, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Please take this red wine, and serve two more desserts,” Xing Lixuan pointed at the two desserts on the menu.
“Alright, Sir.”
After handing over the menu to the waiter, Xing Lixuan said to Yu Antong, “I won’t drink either.”
Yu Antong immediately said, “There is no need to withdraw it, you can still drink it, I’ll just watch.”
Xing Lixuan looked at him. “I don’t know your temper yet.”
If he tasted wine leisurely and let Yu Antong watch, according to Yu Antong’s temper, he would definitely quarrel with him.
“What kind of temper do I have!” Yu Antong understood Xing Lixuan’s implication. He angrily kicked Xing Lixuan’s leg under the dining table quietly.
Xing Lixuan stretched out his long legs, grabbed Yu Antong’s legs, and coaxed in a low voice, “Baby has a good temper. He’s very sensible and gentle.”
It’s good that Xing Lixuan didn’t mention this, but when he mentioned it, Yu Antong suddenly remembered that day on the bar, when he overheard Shen Yunqing chatting with his friend about what Qi Jingyao said — the drunk Xing Lixuan once revealed that his ideal type was a person with gentle demeanor, with sensibility over finance but still generous.
Yu Antong’s jealousy rose all of a sudden. ‘This dog man, he must still be thinking about his ideal type. If he has a white moonlight in his heart that I don’t know…’
He’s going to be mad!
The more Yu Antong thought about it, the angrier he became. He pulled out his leg and kicked Xing Lixuan again. “Don’t talk to me!”
Xing Lixuan: “…”
Xing Lixuan didn’t understand why Yu Antong suddenly became angry. He lost his temper just now, and it was obvious that he was just acting coquettishly and playing petty temper at him, not really angry. Why did he get really angry after coaxing him?
Just at this moment, the waiter brought over the dessert, Yu Antong ignored Xing Lixuan, just immersed himself in eating the dessert.
The small cheesecake has a mellow and rich taste. After eating the cake, he ate the topping – a plump, red cherry. He bit it down, and its sweet and sour juice burst in his mouth, instantly improving Yu Antong’s mood.
Xing Lixuan tentatively called him, “Baby…”
After eating the cheesecake, Yu Antong picked up another strawberry cake in a heart-shaped cup. He pinched the small strawberry stuck on top of the cream and put it into his mouth. He stared at Xing Lixuan and bit it down fiercely, as if he was biting Xing Lixuan down.
Xing Lixuan couldn’t figure out how he offended this little ancestor with his words, wasn’t he just praising him for being sensible? Although there was irony in the words to ridicule Yu Antong, it was purely a joke.
The cream on the top layer of the strawberry cake was perfectly sweet, while the cake underneath was creamy and spongy. The delicious dessert made Yu Antong’s face brighten. After eating the dessert, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said to Xing Lixuan, “Let’s go.”
Walking out of the restaurant, Xing Lixuan grabbed his hand and brought him into his arms. “Little ancestor, why are you so angry? How did your husband make you angry?”
It was windy at night, and Yu Antong had just come out of the warm restaurant. He shivered due to the cold wind.
“Are you feeling cold?” Xing Lixuan moved his feet, stood upwind, and helped Yu Antong block the wind, then unbuttoned his coat, and wrapped Yu Antong into his arms.
Xing Lixuan’s coat still carried his body temperature, and its warm smell wrapped Yu Antong all at once. He was rarely shy, but this time, he suddenly felt that way. With a sour hum, he said, “Isn’t your ideal type gentle, generous, and sensible? Then why did you fall in love with me?”
Xing Lixuan frowned, thinking about why Yu Antong was talking nonsense. “Who told you that my ideal type is gentle and sensible…”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed imagined his future partner in the early years, and thought that if he was looking for a partner in the future, the other party must be a sensible type at home.
But those were all his young and immature thoughts. How did Yu Antong know about this?
Yu Antong raised his head and wanted to ask him, “What type do you like?” If the dog man coaxed him well, he would not care about him.
But once he saw Xing Lixuan’s dazed expression, it affirmed what he said just now.
Yu Antong pushed Xing Lixuan away and walked forward. ‘Ahhh! I’m going to explode! Sure enough, men are big pigs!’
Xing Lixuan came to his senses, and strode to catch up. “Baby, listen to me.”
Yu Antong was like a calf, walking forward with a sullen head.
‘Get rid of the big pig’s hooves! I will divorce him when I return home!’
Xing Lixuan speed-walked and rushed in front of Yu Antong, but Yu Antong didn’t have time to take back his steps, so he bumped into Xing Lixuan’s arms. His nose felt sore, tears streaming down his face immediately.
Yu Antong covered his nose with one hand, pushed Xing Lixuan with the other, sniffled, and scolded him in a crying voice. “G-get out!”
Xing Lixuan hugged his waist tightly, and held him in his arms. “I’m sorry, Baby, does it hurt?”
Yu Antong had tears in his eyes, but he didn’t want it to fall. Instead, he increased the intensity of his voice, “Don’t worry about it!”
Under the bright street lights, Xing Lixuan looked at Yu Antong’s red nose. He stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on his face with distress. “You are my wife, of course I will care about you.”
“Listen to me, no matter where you heard those words, they were all my previous thoughts. The only person I like now is you, and I have only liked you in my life from the beginning to the end.” Xing Li Xuan said seriously, “You can’t sentence me to death just because I have some immature delusions before I met you. Who has never had a so-called ideal type? But since I fell in love with you, I forgot what ideal type I have. Everytime I imagine what a perfect lover is, your face comes to mind. So, I’m telling you that whatever I said in the past is just nonsense, okay?”
“Do you understand?”
Xing Lixuan talked a lot, unlike his usual. This was the first time he said so much and was eager to explain one thing.
Yu Antong sniffled, the grievance and sadness in his heart turned into sour-sweet joy because of Xing Lixuan’s words. As he blinked, the tears in his eyes rolled down, clearing his blurry vision. He looked at Xing Lixuan’s handsome face while pouting. “You didn’t lie to me?”
“Little ancestor, just let me feel sorry for you,” Xing Lixuan lowered his head and kissed the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, “When did I ever lie to you?”
“But I’m obviously so different from the type you liked at the beginning, even the complete opposite of it,” Yu Antong counted his own shortcomings with his fingers, “I’m self-willed, and I love to play tricks on you, so I don’t allow you to reason with me.”
Xing Lixuan bursted into a free laugh, and said dotingly, “So you still know that you are unreasonable, you little scoundrel.”
Yu Antong glared at him ferociously. Even though he can say that, that doesn’t mean Xing Lixuan can say that about him!
He thumped his balled fist on Xing Lixuan’s arms to vent his ire. “You are bad, you are nasty! You like making me sad, don’t you?”
Xing Lixuan grabbed his fist and kissed the back of his hand. “But I do like your self-willfulness, your petty temper, and the way you treat me unreasonably like a spoiled child.”
Yu Antong looked at Xing Lixuan.
Xing Lixuan’s eyes were full of affection. “Baby, I love you.”
Yu Antong’s heart moved, he hugged Xing Lixuan and softly called him, “Husband~”
“Yes?”
Yu Antong raised his head and asked for a kiss. “Kiss me.”
Xing Lixuan smiled, bowed his head and kissed him squarely on the lips.
At night in a foreign country, they kissed while standing on the sidewalk with few pedestrians. Not far away was the road with vehicles passing by.
