58: Chapter 58 Day 31

This pink dress was the one she wore a month ago, on the day they confessed their feelings for each other!

There's a beginning and an end; their relationship started with this dress,

So it should end their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship while wearing it, and move on to the next step... husband-wife relationship~~

After putting on all her clothes, Xu Qianqian tied her hair into two familiar pigtails.

She stood in front of the full-length mirror, turning around a few times, looking beautiful.

Her skirt billowed, her pigtails swayed, and a fragrant scent permeated the air.

"Perfect~~ Brother Xiao Ran will definitely like it~~"

"No, Qianqian should say... 'husband' now, right?!"

"Wuwuwu! I feel so shy!"

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly dialed a number: "Prepare a car, I'm going to Art University!"

Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, and also, help me prepare the best, most fragrant, most vibrant, and most abundant bouquet of pink roses!"

Xu Qianqian put down her phone,

And gazed absently at herself in the mirror.

With rosy cheeks, glowing skin, and two faint dimples, she looked incredibly cute.

"Husband~~! Your wife is coming, oh...! Are you ready?!"

...In the small pavilion,

Xiao Ran leaned against the railing, his hands clasped on the railing, his chin resting on his arms.

He watched the shimmering ripples on the lake and the few large white geese that had come out to forage.

"Gack~ Gack~ Gack~!"

Three white geese swam to the front of the pavilion, proudly raised their chins, and honked at Xiao Ran a few times, as if demanding food.

He looked at the adorable white geese, reached into his pocket, but only pulled out a wallet, a few folded A4 papers, and his phone.

So, Xiao Ran spread his hands at the white geese and said, "I didn't bring any food. Next time for sure."

"Gack gack gack!"

The three white geese shook their heads, grumbling and waddling away, likely in search of their next target.

Xiao Ran watched the white geese gradually move away, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

A month ago, the white geese were in the same spot, in the same posture, chins raised, staying by the pavilion.

That day, he and Xu Qianqian brought a large bag of bread,

They seemed to have come to feed the geese, though it was unclear if their true intention lay elsewhere.

As a result,

After a few words, they threw the buffet into the lake and embraced each other.

The white geese 'gack gack gacked' as they watched the two pieces of bread sink from absorbing water, cursing particularly nastily: "****"

"These three white geese are also witnesses to Qianqian's and my love, aren't they? Let's give them some compensation!"

Thinking this, his heart stirred.

He quickly ran to the convenience store and bought a few loaves of bread.

"Clap clap clap!"

He clapped his hands, and the white geese instantly looked over.

They spread their wings, moving with a 'light-foot-on-water' gait, stumbling and rushing towards him.

"Gack! Gack gack! Gack gack gack!" (Robbery! Be smart! Hand over the food in your hands quickly!)

Xiao Ran looked at the fierce white geese and smiled slightly.

He slowly broke off pieces of bread and threw them in front of the white geese.

Only then did they stop honking and began to enjoy their delicious meal.

Unbeknownst to him, not far behind him stood a graceful young woman, carrying a large loaf of bread, holding a bouquet of roses in her right hand, and wearing a pink long dress.

The girl's breathing was slightly quick, her pretty face flushed, glistening with sweat, and her eyes intently fixed on the white back in the pavilion ahead.

"Haha! I knew it, Xiao... Bah! My husband is also wearing the exact same clothes as that day!" Xu Qianqian smiled slightly, revealing two pink dimples.

"Oh, you big geese! Your female feeder is here too! You're about to witness another historic moment~!"

Xu Qianqian finished muttering to herself and tiptoed towards Xiao Ran from behind, preparing to give him a surprise.

Xiao Ran was engrossed in feeding the white geese, seemingly unaware of someone's arrival.

The girl's footsteps were light, as she approached the boy step by step.

Finally.

She was 2 meters behind him, but he still didn't react.

"Hehe."

Xu Qianqian gave a mischievous smile and took a few more steps forward.

"Gack gack gack!"

The white geese suddenly honked, seemingly to warn him.

Xiao Ran's lips curved upward slightly; he had already seen through everything.

Just as Xu Qianqian came up behind him, took a deep breath, and was about to scare him.

Xiao Ran suddenly turned around and made a funny face.

"Blech~~~!"

"Ah!"

The breath the girl had just gathered transformed into an extremely piercing scream, startling the white geese into a cacophony of honks.

Xu Qianqian threw all the bread in her hands into the water, clutching only the pink roses tightly.

"Gack gack gack gack!"

The white geese seemed to be mocking, or perhaps cursing,

Because in front of them floated a package of food they couldn't eat.

Xu Qianqian was still a bit shaken, her pretty face now showing a hint of annoyance, her tightly furrowed brows paired with a few drops of fragrant sweat, making her look somewhat playful and cute.

"Brother Xiao Ran!!!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hmph!"

Xu Qianqian stomped her foot, huffily hugging the roses and sitting on a chair on the other side, presenting him with a petite back.

'Darn it! I wanted to scare my hus... bah, demoted!'

'What an insensitive blockhead! If you propose to me later, and I say yes! Then I'm a dog!'

Xiao Ran looked at the girl's back and smiled slightly; scaring her was just to alleviate the emotional contrast that would come later.

Now that he had scared her, he still needed to comfort her, so he sat behind her, played with her pigtails, and softly said,

"Qianqian, what's wrong? Are you angry?"

"Hmph! No!" Xu Qianqian raised her chin haughtily.

'Yes! I'm angry! I'll make you mad!'

"Gack gack!" (Why are you copying me!)

Xiao Ran, of course, knew that Xu Qianqian wasn't really angry.

The girl just wanted him to give her an out.

She had so many little schemes!

He didn't expose her.

So, Xiao Ran slowly began, "Qianqian, today is our 31st day of dating, isn't it?!"

...
