Bab 228: Sorry, I Don’t Have a Phone
Naturally, Sheng Xiangsi could also be knitting it for herself, but Fu Hanjiang had a gut feeling that it wasn't for her.
So, who could it be for?
Sheng Xiangsi smiled lightly. "What's the matter? Are you interrogating me?"
She took the bag from his hand and said in a calm tone, "Who else could it be for? It's for you."
"For me..."
Fu Hanjiang repeated, stunned.
He couldn't believe it. "Me?"
"Yes." Sheng Xiangsi nodded seriously, taking out the yarn from the bag and examining it. "I plan to knit a sweater for you. This yarn should be enough."
As she spoke, she even measured it against him.
Fu Hanjiang stared blankly for a couple of seconds, then asked with new suspicion, "This... bright red color?"
"Is there a problem?"
Sheng Xiangsi pouted, "It's a great color. You shouldn't always wear black and white. It's too monotonous for someone so young."
She was quite satisfied with her choice of color. "Bold colors like this suit your looks."
A compliment! Xiangsi just praised him!
Fu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, unable to suppress his grin. He immediately agreed, "I think so too."
Seeing the bright red yarn, he found it quite pleasing.
He touched it, "It's pretty soft."
"Right? When it's made into a sweater, it'll be very warm."
Sheng Xiangsi slapped his hand away, "Don't touch it too much, you'll get it dirty."
"Stingy." Fu Hanjiang withdrew his hand obediently, smiling brightly. "I won't touch it then, but it's going to be mine anyway once it's knitted."
He was thrilled and started holding Sheng Xiangsi's hand.
"What made you think of knitting a sweater for me?"
Sheng Xiangsi pointed to the watch on her left wrist, "See? You gave me such a nice gift, and I don't have much to give you in return. So, I thought I'd knit you a sweater. It doesn't compare to the watch, but don't dislike it..."
"What are you talking about?"
Fu Hanjiang interrupted her before she could finish. Smiling, he looked at her. "How could I dislike it? I like it very much. I'll wear it well."
At this moment, his eyes and smile were pure and sincere.
Sheng Xiangsi was a bit dazed, then she pulled her hand back. "Got it. I'll finish it soon."
"Good."
A waiter came in and served the food.
While serving her, Fu Hanjiang asked, "What do you want to do after dinner?"
"Hmm?" Sheng Xiangsi didn't understand what he meant.
"Like, shopping, buying stuff?"
Sheng Xiangsi shook her head, "I don't want to shop or buy anything."
"Oh."
Fu Hanjiang nodded. He forgot that Xiangsi had no desire to shop.
Then he suggested, "How about we go to the movies?"
"?" Sheng Xiangsi was taken aback, looking at him in surprise.
Fu Hanjiang felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze. "Isn't this what other couples do on dates? We haven't been to the cinema together yet."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone. "I'll buy the tickets."
He opened the ticketing app and handed it to Sheng Xiangsi. "Pick a movie."
It was hard for her to refuse his enthusiasm.
Sheng Xiangsi scrolled through the screen and picked a comedy. "This one."
"Okay."
After leaving Rongfuju, they drove to a nearby cinema.
Even on a weekday, the cinema was packed during the prime evening hours. The queue for tickets was long.
"Wait here."
Fu Hanjiang instructed Sheng Xiangsi, "It's too crowded over there. I'll get the tickets and come back."
"Okay."
Sheng Xiangsi nodded, standing where she was, watching him head towards the ticket counter.
His height and outstanding looks naturally attracted the attention and stares of passersby.
"He's so tall!"
"And so handsome!"
"Wow, he's alone."
"Doesn't the handsome guy have a girlfriend?"
When Fu Hanjiang returned with the tickets, he was already surrounded by a group of people. He tucked the tickets into his pocket.
"Hello!"
A brave girl mustered up the courage to stop him.
"?" Fu Hanjiang frowned, looking at her in confusion. "What's up?"
The girl was a bit nervous, holding up her phone. "Sorry to bother you, but can I add you on WeChat?"
Oh.
Fu Hanjiang instantly understood. He was being hit on.
He flatly refused, "Sorry, I don't have a phone. Excuse me, my girlfriend is waiting for me."
He waved to Sheng Xiangsi and quickly ran over.
The girl who tried to hit on him was heartbroken.
Of course, how could a handsome guy not have a girlfriend?
"I'm back!"
"Pfft!"
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't hold back her laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Fu Hanjiang was puzzled. "Do I look funny?"
"Yes!"
Sheng Xiangsi laughed heartily, nodding. "You... you don't have a phone? Hahaha..."
She had heard the conversation just now. "Mr. Fu, could you come up with a better excuse? Who doesn't have a phone these days?"
Fu Hanjiang didn't care. "It works. She got the hint."
True, but it was a bit too harsh.
"See how faithful I am, and you're laughing at me."
He stretched his arm, pulling her into his embrace, and pointed to a small shop. "Want some snacks?"
Other girls were holding popcorn or milk tea.
"No."
Sheng Xiangsi wrinkled her nose, refusing. "Those are calorie bombs. I still want to maintain my figure."
But then she hesitated, biting her lip.
"How about getting me a candied hawthorn?"
She held up one finger, "Just one."
"Sure." Fu Hanjiang couldn't help but laugh, patting her head. "I'll get it for you right away."
"Mm!"
This time, they went together, holding hands.
There were too many flavors of candied hawthorn, and Sheng Xiangsi couldn't decide.
"Which one do you want?"
"Hmm..." Sheng Xiangsi raised her hand, pointing to one of them. "This one..."
"Okay."
"Wait!" She pulled him back and chose another. "Actually, this one."
But she couldn't let go of the first one.
Seeing her indecision, Fu Hanjiang laughed. "No need to struggle."
He told the vendor, "One of each of these."
"Sure."
"Hey!"
Sheng Xiangsi quickly stopped him, "I can't eat that much!"
Though candied hawthorn was made of hawthorn, it was coated with sugar, and she had already eaten a lot tonight.
"Don't worry."
Fu Hanjiang smiled at her and paid.
"Sir, your candied hawthorn."
"Thank you."
He handed the two sticks to Sheng Xiangsi. "You start eating. If you can't finish, I'll eat the rest."
"Okay then."
Sheng Xiangsi accepted the candied hawthorn, a smile spreading across her face.
For a moment, Fu Hanjiang was mesmerized. Xiangsi smiled... Since they had been together, this was the first time she smiled like this in front of him...
The movie started.
It was quite entertaining, and Sheng Xiangsi was absorbed in it, while Fu Hanjiang was more interested in watching her.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Fu Hanjiang glanced at it and hesitated, not answering the call.
When it hung up, he picked up his phone and quickly sent a message.
