SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 28)

To welcome the coming new year, Sun-Mei and Zhao-Di decided to give themselves a “refreshing” look. They were delighted when they stepped out of the beauty saloon!!

“Sun-Mei, how come you still look the same? You’re not the least creative.” Zhao-Di did have some comments on Sun-Mei’s “unchanging” hairstyle.

“I want to be as daring like you too! But I am a broadcaster, can’t be too exaggerated. Do you agree?” Sun-Mei pouted.

“Luckily I didn’t get in to be a broadcaster, forever having to maintain the same image. It’s so boring!” Zhao-Di showed a “relief” expression and then waved her new hairstyle and said, “Talking about the image, how’s it? What do you think of my new image?”

Sun-Mei nodded her head and said, “Not bad, I think it suits you well.”

“Then I will help you with a new image next time,” and she stepped back and looked at Sun-Mei with much confidence, “and I guaranteed that there will be a totally brand new broadcaster Zhen Sun-Mei.”

Sun-Mei quickly waved both of her hands and said, “ No need,!.no need!..” She still remembers vividly the make up which Zhao-Di did for her that made her nearly faint of shock.

“Are you sure? Although you are married, a women must always have the fresh appeal so that men will be interested,” Zhao-Di got more energetic as she blabber!.

Sun-Mei is assured that Senior (Xiang-Zhe) is absolutely not interested in someone who put on heavy cosmetic and look like “Ghost.”

“Not necessary! Really!” Sun-Mei is trying to divert Zhao-Di’s enthusiasm from the topic.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look at that shop over there!” And she clings on to Zhao-Di and proceed towards the delicate brand name shop especially for the clothes.

“Hm!.Sun-Mei, the price of the brand is really expensive!” Zhao-Di’s eyes popped when she saw the signboard of the shop.

“Just taking a look and we don’t have to buy, moreover we should dote on ourselves once in a while.”

“Do you still need to dote on yourself? Didn’t your prince director dote you enough?” Zhao-Di commented with envy. She sounded like she had tasted the sour stuff before.

“That’s different!.” Her heart feels sweet and contented like the spill of honey at the mention of Xiang-Zhe.

Just then, Sun-Mei’s cellular phone rang. “Senior!right!” upon hearing his voice, she smiles even more brightly. “Alright! I see...”

When Zhao-Di saw Sun-Mei’s smiling brows, she slightly showed the pettishness to Senior and acted like a spoilt child. How Zhao-Di envy her! The God is really unfair to the rest of the people!
When Sun-Mei hang up the cellular phone, Zhao-Di came up iUmmediately and asked, “ Is it the prince director?”

“Umm! yes, he’s coming to pick me up later.” She appears the happiness on her face that even the passersby could sense it.

“Damn little girl! What kind of amulet water have you given to Director Yin? Doesn’t this man have any fault? Really mad!

Sun-Mei went forward and squeezed on Zhao-Di’s cheeks and said, “You are spouting nonsense! How about you? Do you want me to ask Senior to give you a ride home?” The thought suddenly flashed over her mind.

“Of course!” Zhao-Di’s voice turned shrill unconsciously. “ Damn little girl, are you going to leave me to take a bus home while you and prince sit comfortably in a luxurious car?”
The thought of the scenery had made these two good friends who grow up together since they have studied in the University laughed loudly!.

***********

The next day, during lunch break, Sun-Mei met a depressed Chen-Sui along the corridor. What’s the matter? Wasn’t he jovial this morning?

“Chen-Sui?” she called his name directly and said, “What’s wrong with you?”

He lifted his face with a glum look and said, “I really can’t stand how women reacts!” She always flares up for no reason!”

“Both of you quarrelled again?” Sun-Mei is used to such scenario, as this couple just seem to like to scribble.

“Quarrel? No! I was scolded by her!” Till now, Chen-Sui is still trying to figure out why he was being scolded.

“What has actually happened?”

“She asked me out for lunch just now,..!.later, all of a sudden, she asked me how does her hair style look like.” Chen-Sui began to narrate the details to Sun-Mei.

“Oh!I see! What did you say then?” Sun-Mei asked.

Chen-Sui raised his hand to scratch his forehead, and he continued the conversation with Sun-Mei. “I said to her, “in my first impression, it’s nothing special lah!”

Is this considered a compliment? Sun-Mei began to break out in cold sweat, “and then!..?”she asked Chen-Sui for the rest of the compliments.

He would rather glance at Zhao-Di’s new hair style. By closely looking at Zhao-Di, he didn’t like it at all.” When he said to Zhao-Di, he didn’t sound like joking.
Sun-Mei was unhappy and she thumped her heels, “No way! How could you say that!”

“I am telling the truth!” He felt that he was being accused and was trying hard to defend for himself.

“My parents taught me not to tell lies since I was young.”

“Haven’t you heard that “girls are pleased with their looks”?” Zhao-Di must be very sad now. Even Sun-Mei felt a bit upset.

“What should I do now?” Chen-Sui would always mess things up whenever he tries to cheer girls up.

Sun-Mei knew Zhao-Di very well and she told Chen-Sui how she felt. “You must have hurt the self-esteem of Zhao-Di deeply, and it’s not a matter of apologizing that would solve the problem.”

“What do you think if I take hold of this opportunity to propose to her seriously?”

“I think that it’s a good idea,” she agreed completely because the wedding that they always discuss about has never put into action.

“But!..its all the team leader (Xian-Da) and that fatso’s(Shen Qi-Zhong) fault! They have stolen my ideas for the proposal!.Sun-Mei!..” He pulled her sleeves, begging, “You’ve got to help me this time.”

“Well!” This kind of situation really knocks her down as it’s not an easy task. She has never propose to anyone before, how can she help him?”

“How did Director Yin propose to you?” For the girl who need to go abroad to work on the next day, he must have showed highly skills to win your heart, asked you to stay and marry him.”

“Ah?” She was dumb folded, “he!he!that is!he took out the ring!.then he told me not to leave!.”

“That simple ah!” Nothing-greater than that?” He continued to ask, “Where is the place?”

“At!at!.”How can she tell him? “On the road!” She felt that her face was hot enough to fry eggs.

“On the road?” He didn’t notice the bashfulness on Sun-Mei’s face. “Not good, not good! There’s nothing special at all. Can you help me to think of another one?”

Sun-Mei accepted his request iUmmediately to prevent him from further questions.

To propose on the road is really nothing special, but to kiss passionately and feel the whole world upside down is really something rare happening to her. !..


****************

Xiang-Zhe has been sitting on the single sofa on the left of Sun-Mei. As soon as he stepped into the house, he paid lots of attention on her. It’s a pity that she did not even take a glance at him. She was concentrating on the screen, not giving him the chance to allow him to surprise her that he has planned for a long time. She was really hardworking tonight, watching the video and taking notes at the same time!!

He couldn’t bear it any longer. “Sun-Mei! I am feeling bored! don’t look at the screen, take a look at me!.” He used his old tricks, hoping to catch her attention.

“Senior, I am sorry!.I must come up with a few methods of marriage proposal, I can’t keep you company!”

“Pro!posal?” Is he not mistaken for what he just heard? His wife is going to propose to someone else?
“EUmm!I promised to help Chan-Sui!.It must be a success and not allowed to end up with the failure in this case!” She felt that it’s racking on her brains!

“But I don’t even have the slightest experience, and I can only steal the ideas from movies, it’s really stupid, isn’t it?”

Stupid? He must be a super stupid guy then? The procedure for proposing is not important, the most important thing is that he got what he wanted.

All of a sudden, he took out a bouquet of roses from his back and presented it right before her eyes!..

She was a little shocked and held the bouquet in her hands and asked, “ What’s the special occasion today?”

A bashful smile ran across his face and he said, “I don’t need to pick the special occasion when I want to give you the flowers. The moment is so romantic whenever I have the desire to give you the flowers and say ¡¥I love you’.”

“Thank you!!” She bow down to smell the fragrance of the flowers, her mood is just as beautiful as the bouquet.

“I don’t need to pick the special occasion when I want to give you the flowers. The moment is so romantic whenever I have the desire to give you the flowers and say ¡¥I love you’.”


“That’s it! This is the one! Put the proposal ring in the middle of a big bouquet of flowers, and then! that’s it! Zhao-Di will definitely be touched”

She lean closer to him, using her both hands wrapped round his waist and talking to Xiang-Zhe, “Senior! Thanks!.You are really fantastic!”

Being embraced by her in such a manner, he felt the happiness of being relied upon. “So!that’s the difference between a stalk and a bouquet of flowers.” He said teasingly. “Next time, I must get a even bigger bouquet!.”

“By the way, is it more romantic to present the flowers in the public?” She suddenly raised her head and asked.

He carried her in his arms, “hUmmm!.” Obviously, he was not interested in her topic.

“Then!should Chen-Sui go straight to Zhao-Di’s office and proposed to her directly?” She put her hand around his neck and continued with the conversation.

“Did anyone tell you that you are very naggy?” He sealed her lips with his!. Who is willing to think about how to solve the problem for other people at this time!.?

A bouquet of flowers, not only added some romantic sentiment for the lives of Mr & Mrs Yin, but also brought together another happy couple!
