263 Differences In Habits
“Why are you crying?” Jing Yan kissed her forehead nervously.
He Miao seized the opportunity to grab his wrist and rolled her eyes. “I didn’t cry, I was just angry at you.”
She spread open his hand. This time, she did not exaggeratedly use bandages, but only took a band-aid and firmly stuck it on his wound before she was willing to let him go.
Jing Yan helplessly let her treat his wound, his heart feeling warm. When she was done, he pulled her into his arms again and coaxed her softly, “Alright, don’t be angry. Next time, I’ll ask Butler Li to send a few people to help us carry things, okay?”
He Miao immediately sat up straight and pushed his arms away, determined to have a good talk with him.
It was a small matter, but He Miao did not want to leave any questions that could be easily brushed off between the two of them. She carefully chose her words and said slowly, “Jing Yan, I know that these things are nothing to you even if you throw them away, but the money in our hands is earned through hard work. It’s not easy for you to make money either. You have to work until very late every time, so we can’t waste them. There are many people in this world who work day and night but still can’t eat their fill.”
“Alright, alright, I got it.” Jing Yan nodded, but did not take it to heart.
Ever since he moved upstairs, the food in his refrigerator had never ran out. If he did not eat, someone would come to clear it for him regularly. He had never asked if those things had been thrown away or shared by others, because to him, these things were not worth mentioning.
Compared to the jewelry and clothes that he had given He Miao, the amount he had spent in the supermarket was not even a fraction of what he had spent.
He Miao also knew that he might not listen to her words, but he still could not help but say it.
It was not that she was reluctant to spend money, but that the two of them would only realize the difference in habits when they lived together. If they could not reach a consensus now, they would more or less have related problems in the future.
Instead of quarreling and having problems that would affect their relationship, it was better to talk about it now.
He Miao did not give up. She held his hand and said slowly, “Actually, we’re going to the supermarket this time just to buy some things that we can use immediately. We can buy less or not buy anything that we can’t use up or temporarily don’t need, and…”
“Alright, Miaomiao.” Jing Yan heaved a deep sigh, got up, and silently stuffed the things into the refrigerator. If there was anything left, he would take it back to his place as he had said.
Hearing the door being slammed shut, He Miao suddenly felt wronged.
This was the first time that Jing Yan was so impatient to coax her that he left her alone and left without looking back.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time and making sure that Jing Yan really was not coming back, she stood up numbly and opened the refrigerator with her cold fingers. She took out a few vegetables and prepared to make something to fill her stomach.
All the energy in her body seemed to have been sucked out. He Miao finally realized that this was what it felt like for a couple to quarrel. Love was not just sweet. After putting aside the love during the period of passion, there were also countless possible differences.
Muddleheaded, He Miao randomly cooked a dish. Just as she was about to bring it to the table, she heard the crisp sound of a key being inserted into a lock from outside the door. Then, with a smile on his face, Jing Yan looked at the dish she had placed on the table in pleasant surprise and said, “You’re done so quickly? Why did you only make one dish and buy so many things? we should eat more today.”
He Miao stared blankly at him as he rolled up his sleeves and was about to cook. The bitterness in her heart vanished in an instant, leaving only joy in her heart. “Why are you back? I thought you wouldn’t return.”
She did not finish her sentence because He Miao sensed the grievance in her voice.
She did not want to always be soft and weak in front of Jing Yan. She did not want to act coquettishly and cry in front of him at any time. That was not the kind of person she wanted to be.
Jing Yan was holding a variety of meat and vegetables that he had just picked. He turned around and stared at her pale face in surprise. He asked nervously, “I don’t know what? Did you think I wouldn’t come back?”
He Miao did not nod to admit it, nor did she shake her head to deny it. She just stood in the distance and looked at him, waiting for him to explain himself.
Jing Yan sighed. He put the food in the kitchen and walked over to hold her smooth and tender face. “What nonsense are you thinking about? How could I not come back? I received a call upstairs just now, so I came back late. Whatever my Miaomiao says is right, and I like to hear it.”
“Then just now, you…” He Miao wanted to complain about him suddenly interrupting her and walking away without a word, but when the words reached her mouth, she felt that she was being unreasonable, so she closed her mouth and did not say anything. However, her big, watery eyes continued to stare at him unyieldingly.
Jing Yan smiled helplessly. “Actually, I don’t have to buy so many things at once. I just thought that you’re going to start school soon, and when you get busy, we might not be able to see each other again for a long time. You always come home so late, so you must be hungry. I’ll buy more food so that you don’t have to go out alone at night.”
