1219 Qualified Fiance
Su Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. “This…”

Rong Si took another handful of the sweets and put them in the basket. Then he looked at her, his deep eyes smiling and holding a touch of heart-stopping affection. “When I was young, you treated me to strawberry candy. It was very sweet. I still remember it, and I might never forget it for the rest of my life.”

Su Jiu laughed and stuck out her pinky at him. “You said it yourself. Pinky promise. If you’ve forgotten, you’re a dog. Also, we’re going to eat strawberry candy until we’re old.”

Until we’re old…

These words made Rong Si’s heart flutter. He decisively stretched out his finger and pinky promised her. “Okay, it’s a deal.”

The two of them bought as much as they could on the streets. The bags in Rong Si’s hands naturally grew heavier. When Su Jiu said that she would help him share some of the burden, he refused. He even said that this was what a fiancé should do.

If he could not even do such a small thing, he would not be a qualified fiancé.

Su Jiu did not know whether to laugh or cry when Rong Si addressed himself as her fiancé, so she simply let him be.

Rong Si was carrying bags in both hands, but Su Jiu was relaxed. She had only a cup of hot milk tea in her hand, making Rong Si look like a loyal knight following the princess. With his figure and temperament added to it, many people around him looked at the two of them.

When a girl passing by saw Su Jiu, her eyes lit up. She looked at Su Jiu again with envy on her face. Then, she pinched her boyfriend and complained, “Look at her boyfriend. He’s helping his girlfriend carry so many things. What about you? You’re not even willing to come out with me to buy New Year’s goods.”

The boy beside her also glanced at Rong Si, and a trace of disdain seemed to flash across his eyes. It was as if he despised him for being Su Jiu’s laborer. He said angrily, “Then, am I not accompanying you out now? What else are you not satisfied with? You’re comparing me to others. If you think I’m not good, you can find a different boyfriend.”

He strode forward. The girl could only chase after him angrily.

Su Jiu watched the two of them argue and shook her head. She whispered to Rong Si, “If the two of them break up, it’s not our fault, right?”

Rong Si laughed. “Maybe… it has something to do with that?”

Su Jiu glanced at him. “Looks like you’re very charming. You can seduce girls even when you can’t see their faces.”

“Are you jealous?”

“I’m not. No matter how many people you seduce, I won’t let them snatch you away. You’re mine. You’ll be mine for the rest of your life!”

Su Jiu’s tone was domineering. She reached out and hugged his arm tightly as if she was declaring his ownership.

Seeing how cute her eyes were, Rong Si couldn’t help but laugh. In a softer voice, he said, “Of course, I’m yours. I’ll be yours for the rest of my life. I can’t even chase you away.”

“That’s more like it.” Su Jiu pouted. Suddenly, she saw a stall from the corner of her eye.

The stall owner was a young woman. She sold handmade hair clips, necklaces, bracelets, and other small decorations.

It was difficult for girls not to get tempted by the exquisite workmanship and pink and cute colors.

Many young girls were gathered in front of the stall, all excitedly hovering over the goods.

Seeing Su Jiu stop and take a few more glances, Rong Si stopped as well. “Which one do you like?”

There were too many options. Su Jiu had difficulty choosing. “These hair clips and headbands are so beautiful. Can you help me choose?”
“You don’t have to choose. As long as you like it, buy it all. You don’t have to save money for me.”
