After Zhao Xiaosong left, Zhang Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She had been trying to figure out how to create a sense of competition between the male lead and the antagonist, but despite racking her brain, she couldn't come up with a solution. Now that Zhao Xiaosong was gone, she no longer had to worry about it.
"Guangcai, what's wrong with you today?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion.
"Why were you chatting and laughing with Li Xiumei's relative, and even brought him home?" Zhang Xiaoxiao inquired.
"You mean Mr. Zhao?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"He said I reminded him of an old acquaintance," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"Old acquaintance?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"What old acquaintance?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"He didn't say," Zhao Guangcai shook his head.
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao said, feeling a bit disappointed.
"However, the way he spoke and his demeanor reminded me of an old acquaintance," Zhao Guangcai continued.
"Who?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Jia Baoyu from Dream of the Red Chamber," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Jia Baoyu?" Zhang Xiaoxiao became even more curious.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"What does he have to do with Jia Baoyu?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"When he saw me, he said, 'This sister, I have seen before,'" Zhao Guangcai explained.
"Hahahahaha, isn't that what Jia Baoyu said when he saw Lin Daiyu?" Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"That's quite a coincidence," Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai also smiled.
"So how did you react?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"What reaction can I have?" Zhao Guangcai retorted.
"Don't you have any reaction at all?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"What reaction should I have?" Zhao Guangcai countered again.
"Aren't you supposed to..." Zhang Xiaoxiao started, but suddenly stopped.
"Supposed to what?" Zhao Guangcai inquired.
"Nothing," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Really nothing?" Zhao Guangcai pressed on.
"Really nothing," Zhang Xiaoxiao affirmed.
"Alright then," Zhao Guangcai said, no longer pursuing the topic.
"Guangcai, I want to discuss something with you," Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
"What is it?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"I want to eat grilled fish tonight, is that okay?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"Sure," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"Then I'll go prepare it now," Zhang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
"Mm, go ahead," Zhao Guangcai replied.
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately ran toward the kitchen upon hearing this.
Zhao Guangcai watched her retreating figure, a fond smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
...
In the evening, Zhao Guangcai and Zhang Xiaoxiao sat at the table, which was set with two grilled fish and a plate of greens.
"Guangcai, you eat the fish," Zhang Xiaoxiao said as she picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Zhao Guangcai's bowl.
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Xiaoxiao, you should eat too," Zhao Guangcai said as he served her a piece of fish.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded and then began to eat.
While eating, Zhang Xiaoxiao kept glancing out the window, both intentionally and unintentionally.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Nothing," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"What are you looking at outside?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Guangcai, don't you find it strange?" Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Strange about what?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Isn't it strange that the Li Family hasn't left yet?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Maybe they have something to do," Zhao Guangcai suggested.
"What could be so important that they skip dinner?" Zhang Xiaoxiao questioned.
"I wouldn't know," Zhao Guangcai shook his head.
"Ah, I really want to know what they're doing," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Xiaoxiao, let's eat," Zhao Guangcai urged.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded.
Although Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed with Zhao Guangcai, her mind was still elsewhere. She ate while glancing out the window with her peripheral vision.
"Xiaoxiao, do you really like Mr. Zhao's car?" Zhao Guangcai suddenly asked.
"Yes, I really like it," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Why do you like that car?" Zhao Guangcai inquired.
"Because that car is very expensive," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Is that the only reason?" Zhao Guangcai asked, somewhat speechless.
"Of course not," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"What other reasons are there?" Zhao Guangcai pressed on.
"Because..." Zhang Xiaoxiao started but suddenly stopped.
"Because what?" Zhao Guangcai urged her to continue.
"It's nothing," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Xiaoxiao, you're hiding something from me," Zhao Guangcai said.
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated about whether to speak up.
"Xiaoxiao, just tell me; I won't be angry," Zhao Guangcai reassured her.
"If I tell you, you have to promise not to get angry," Zhang Xiaoxiao said cautiously.
"I promise I won't get angry," Zhao Guangcai assured her.
"Then I'll say it," Zhang Xiaoxiao finally decided to share.
"Well, go ahead," Zhao Guangcai said.
"I think that car is beautiful," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Just because of that?" Zhao Guangcai replied, somewhat helplessly.
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Xiaoxiao, your taste..." Zhao Guangcai hesitated.
"What about my taste?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"Nothing," Zhao Guangcai shook his head.
"Guangcai, what do you think of that car?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"It's okay," Zhao Guangcai commented lightly.
"Just okay?" Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"Guangcai, let's buy a car," Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
"Buy a car?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback.
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Why do you suddenly want to buy a car?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Because with a car, we can go out and have fun anytime," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to go out?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Of course I do," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Then once this busy period is over, I'll take you out," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Really?" Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"Guangcai, you're so good to me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a happy smile.
"You are my Wife; who else should I be good to?" Zhao Guangcai said.
"Hehehe," Zhang Xiaoxiao was extremely happy.
