You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Che looked at her impatient appearance and shook his head helplessly, "Aren't you tired? You've been shopping all afternoon."

"Not tired!" Su Qinghe answered decisively, then added, "I'm never tired when I'm with A-Che."

"...Alright, let's go."

After leaving the house, the two didn't specifically choose a direction and just walked casually along the street.

The evening breeze was gentle, blowing Su Qinghe's hair that was loose over her shoulders, and making the wind chimes in front of the small shops along the street tinkle.

As they walked, the two unknowingly arrived at the snack street near the back gate of the school.

Jiang Che knew this street all too well.

The narrow alleyway is lined with a dense array of stalls, with tangled wires and colorful lights hanging overhead, and the air is filled with the aroma of grilled skewers, fried chicken, and spicy hot pot.

Su Qinghe was walking arm in arm with Jiang Che, looking around as she went, but the further she went in, the more familiar the surrounding scenery seemed.

My pace gradually slowed down involuntarily.

Jiang Che noticed her unusual behavior and looked down at her with some confusion.

Su Qinghe's expression wasn't exactly sad, but she clearly lacked the excited, bouncing energy she had just displayed.

She quietly looked at the corner under the streetlight, her lips slightly pursed.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Che asked softly.

Su Qinghe did not answer immediately, and silently took a few more steps forward.

When she first started wandering here, she wasn't actually blind yet, so she could still recognize the scenery here.

The reason he later went blind...

Su Qinghe glanced at the boy beside her without making a sound, then lowered her eyes, concealing all the emotions that were quietly churning in the shadows.

"Ah Che, do you know...?"

"During the time I was blind, I thought this was how my life would be."

Jiang Che recognized the place at this moment. He didn't say anything, but turned to face her and listened quietly to her speak.

"I can't see anything, it's all dark wherever I go. I don't know where I am or which way to go."

Su Qinghe lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer, "When I'm starving, all I can do is rummage through the trash cans. Sometimes I'm just happy if I can find a little bit of something someone else has left over."

"At that time, I really felt like I was no different from a stray dog."

"They're not even as good as stray dogs; at least stray dogs can see where they're going."

As Su Qinghe spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

She sniffed hard, tilted her head back and looked at the dim streetlight. "I remember that night the weather was like this too, very cold, and the wind made me shiver."

"Then those thugs came over, kicked me, cursed at me, and pulled my hair."

"At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was that I wish I could die here."

As she said this, Su Qinghe's nose was already slightly red.

Jiang Che felt a pang of sadness as well. He raised his hand and gently pressed it against the back of Su Qinghe's head, drawing her head to his chest. "Don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past."

"No matter what happens from now on, you will never be alone again."

Su Qinghe closed her eyes and quietly wrapped her arms around his waist.

After standing there for a short while, she rubbed her face against his chest and mumbled something.

"Yes, I know."

"Because I have A-Che."

Jiang Che lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head.

After standing under the streetlights for a while, Su Qinghe finally lifted her head from his embrace and wiped her eyes haphazardly with the back of her hand.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

She took a deep breath, forcing back the stinging sensation in her nose, and forced a smile back. "Let's go, let's go, I smell roasted sweet potatoes! They smell so good!"

Jiang Che looked at her, who had been teary-eyed one second and was now completely captivated by the roasted sweet potato, and shook his head with a smile.

The two strolled around the food street and bought roasted sweet potatoes, egg waffles, stinky tofu, and other snacks.

The main problem is that Su Qinghe has big eyes but a small stomach; she wants to try everything, but if she were to eat it all by herself, she definitely wouldn't be able to.

However, Jiang Che wasn't new to knowing her character. The moment he scanned the code to pay, he was already prepared to be stuffed to death by the food that night.

After buying the food, Su Qinghe held a roasted sweet potato in one hand and Jiang Che's hand in the other, and the two of them slowly walked home with a bag of snacks in their arms.

Back in her apartment, Su Qinghe's already mild frustration vanished completely.

She excitedly plunged into the pile of shopping bags and began unpacking them one by one.

While unpacking, I suddenly found another set of matching couple hoodies that I had bought that afternoon in the bag, and my eyes lit up immediately.

"Ah Che! Try these on first!"

Jiang Che was leaning back on the sofa eating egg waffles when he heard this. He glanced at her and said, "Didn't we already try it this afternoon?"

"Things you try on at the mall don't count, do they?" Su Qinghe shoved the sweatshirt into his arms. "It feels better to wear it at home."

Jiang Che couldn't refuse her, so he put down the egg waffles he was holding, stood up, and cooperated by taking them.

A gray hooded sweatshirt with the same simple line drawing of a bear printed on the chest.

After Su Qinghe put it on, she shrank inside, and the sleeves were too long, making her look particularly petite.

She pulled Jiang Che to stand in front of the full-length mirror in the entryway, looked him up and down, and then took out her phone.

"Come on, let's take a picture!"

Su Qinghe raised her phone, turned on the front camera, and tiptoed to lean her head towards Jiang Che.

Jiang Che bent down, put one arm around her shoulder, and made a peace sign in front of the camera with the other hand.

"Click."

Su Qinghe looked down at the photo, nodded in satisfaction, and then quickly set the photo as her WeChat Moments background.

After changing the background image, Su Qinghe carefully selected a few more photos she had taken that day, added a caption, and posted them on her WeChat Moments.

The copy was something she had been thinking about for a long time before she came up with it.

"We've got matching outfits! From now on, we'll wear the same thing every day!"

It was followed by a bear emoji.

After posting, Su Qinghe started refreshing the page frantically, checking every ten seconds to see if anyone had liked or commented.

Jiang Che leaned back on the sofa, watching her fidgety state, and couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you waiting for? The lottery results?"

"No, I just... wanted to see if anyone would reply."

Su Qinghe retorted stubbornly, and then her phone started ringing.

The first person to like the post was Wang Kai, followed by Liu Mengyao, Bai Yuning, class monitor Zhao Mingyuan, and Zhou Ziqi who sat in front of him... Almost instantly, the comment section became lively.

Liu Mengyao: "Ahhhhh I'm totally shipping them!!! They finally announced it officially, right?!"

Wang Kai: "Brother Che is awesome."

Bai Yuning: "Qinghe looks so pretty! Your matching outfits are so sweet! Wishing you happiness~"

Zhao Mingyuan: "Congratulations! You two are the only ones still able to show off your love after the college entrance exam."

Zhou Ziqi: "Waaaa, I'm a single dog and I don't deserve to see this post on my WeChat Moments."

Looking at the screen full of blessings, Su Qinghe's eyes curved into two crescent moons, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She scrolled through other people's comments, and almost all of them were congratulations and blessings. Her heart felt warm and cozy, like cotton that had been dried in the sun.

After posting on her WeChat Moments, Su Qinghe was still not satisfied and opened her previously registered social media account.

She rarely posts anything on this account, occasionally sharing beautiful scenery photos or food recommendations. She only has a few hundred followers, mostly classmates and mutual followers.

But today is different.

She has something important to announce today.

Su Qinghe chose a photo of the two of them in front of a full-length mirror and added a simple caption—

"he."

Just two words, nothing else was added after them.

But those who understand will understand.

Not long after it was posted, messages began to appear in the comments section.

"Wow, they're such a perfect match! Congratulations!"

"This height difference is amazing!! This girl is so petite and cute!"

Congratulations! It's obvious your boyfriend treats you very well!

"Ahhh, this is so sweet! When will it be my turn for this kind of romance? QAQ"

Su Qinghe scrolled down the list one by one, her smile never fading.

But as she flipped through the pages, her fingers suddenly stopped.

Because some comments with a rather different style appeared in the comments section.

"Wait, wait, wait, this height difference... I'm not sure how to put it..."

"Sister, are you sure there won't be any safety risks when you two do 'that'? hhhhhh"

"Seriously speaking, with such a poor physique... can someone who can flip a wok really do it? (doge)"

"You've gone too far, hahaha, but I'm curious too (whispering)."

"As someone who's been there, I can tell you responsibly that a big difference in body size actually makes... never mind, I'm afraid I'll get my account banned."
