I Love Her Because She’s Dim-Witted And Filthy Rich - Chapter 60.2
Su Miao: “…” But what if I still think Duan Bainian is the best?
After eating dinner absentmindedly, Su Miao went back to her room, locked the door, and took out her phone. After thinking for a long time, she still sent a WeChat message to Duan Bainian.
[Didn’t you say before that you bought freeze-dried treats and canned food for Ergou? I’ll go over and get them tomorrow.]
Duan Bainian had just finished showering. Seeing this WeChat, she couldn’t help but feel her nose go sour.
It had been two months, and her little idiot had finally taken the initiative once.
She quickly replied to the message: [Then I’ll go pick you up tomorrow.]
As soon as she sent it, Duan Bainian regretted it—she was already going to pick Su Miao up, so couldn’t she just bring the treats and canned food with her? Why would Su Miao need to come over?
But if Su Miao didn’t come over, then after she delivered the treats, she would just have to watch helplessly as Su Miao went back into her house?
Would this great opportunity be missed?
So she quickly withdrew the message and sent a new one: [Okay, I’ll wait for you at home tomorrow.]
Watching the other side withdraw and then re-edit, Su Miao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Hehe, why did she feel that Duan Bainian was a little cute?
The next morning, Su Miao slept until she woke up naturally and took a taxi to Duan Bainian’s apartment.
Before she could even knock, the door opened.
The person inside was smiling gently, but the excitement in her voice was hard to hide. “I heard your footsteps.”
Su Miao pretended to be calm as she entered the living room. “Where are the treats and canned food?”
Duan Bainian pointed to the balcony. “Over there. Have you eaten breakfast yet? I’m just about to cook. Do you want to eat a bit with me?”
Su Miao looked at the kitchen uncomfortably. “I didn’t eat this morning.”
Duan Bainian automatically decoded Su Miao’s meaning. “Alright then, sit for a little while. I’ll go make some noodles.”
Ten minutes later, Duan Bainian brought the noodles over, and the two of them started eating in silence.
Su Miao ate very slowly.
Because once the noodles were finished, she would have to take the treats and go home.
But it was just a small bowl. No matter how slowly she ate, it was still finished.
Duan Bainian asked, “Want more? Should I go boil some more noodles for you?”
Su Miao patted her round belly. “Okay, I’ll eat a little more.”
And so Duan Bainian got up again and went to make a second bowl of noodles.
Halfway through the second bowl, Su Miao absolutely couldn’t swallow another bite. She couldn’t help but let out a burp. “I’m full.”
Duan Bainian smiled and handed over a tissue. “Wipe your mouth.”
Su Miao took it, wiped her mouth, and didn’t speak.
Duan Bainian also didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she forced a change of topic. “What do you plan to do today?”
Su Miao thought, Is this person about to ask me out?
So she replied, “Nothing much really. I’m just here to get the treats, then I don’t have anything else to do.”
Duan Bainian: “Oh… since you finished filming, you should have a good rest.”
Su Miao: “…”
Su Miao was fed up. Duan Bainian used to always call her stupid, but she thought Duan Bainian was the one who was truly stupid!
She had already answered like that, yet this person still didn’t know how to be a bit more proactive!
Actually, Duan Bainian didn’t dare to open her mouth.
In the past, how many times had she asked Su Miao to eat or go for a walk, and not once had she not been rejected?
With this great opportunity before her, she naturally knew she could take the chance to ask Su Miao to see a movie or something. But she was worried that Su Miao would reject her just like before.
If Su Miao rejected her and then slammed the door on her way out, it would be better to just sit here for a while.
The two sat in silence again for a few minutes.
Su Miao grew angry from waiting and spoke up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take the treats and head home.”
Duan Bainian dazed for a moment, then regained her face full of gentleness. “Okay, I’ll see you home.”
Su Miao: “…”
Duan Bainian went to the balcony, picked up the box of canned food and treats, and walked toward the door.
Looking at Duan Bainian’s back, Su Miao was so angry she rolled her eyes. After enduring it and enduring it, she said, “I heard there are a few movies out lately that are really good. I want to go see a movie. Are you going?”
Duan Bainian stopped, turned around, and said in disbelief, “What do you want to see? I’ll buy the tickets now.”
Looking at Duan Bainian’s expression, Su Miao looked at the floor uncomfortably. “I don’t know either. Let’s see what movies there are first.”
Looking at the awkward Su Miao, Duan Bainian suddenly realized something.
Su Miao said one moment that there were a few good movies, then the next moment said she didn’t know what to see.
So, seeing a movie was just a regular excuse for the little idiot? The little idiot also wanted to stay with her, right?
Thinking of this, Duan Bainian gently put down the box and couldn’t help but cover her face with both hands and start laughing.
Su Miao looked at the person in front of her in confusion. The sound was clearly laughter, but why were there water droplets leaking from the gaps between her fingers?
Could it be that Duan Bainian was really sick?
Surely she hadn’t been driven crazy by her own tormenting over these past two months?
Thinking of this, Su Miao couldn’t help but shudder. She looked at the person in front of her with a face full of terror and shouted anxiously, “Duan Bainian! Are you okay?!”
Duan Bainian wiped her tears and stepped forward to pull Su Miao into a hug. “I’m fine. I’m just too happy.”
It turned out that the greatest happiness in this world was regaining what was lost.
Su Miao let out a long sigh of relief. “That’s good then, that’s good.” If she really had a mental illness, that would be a problem.
The two went to see a movie and then went to a restaurant they used to frequent.
When they came out of the restaurant, it was already eight o’clock at night.
Duan Bainian asked tentatively, “Are you… going back to your house or back to the apartment?”
Su Miao rubbed her ear and said in a small voice, “Back to your house.”
Duan Bainian smiled and stepped on the gas pedal all the way to the floor.
The next day, Duan Bainian posted on Weibo: [The best treasure in the world. @SuMiao]
The accompanying photo was a close-up of the two of them with their faces together while eating at the restaurant.
Even if the meaning of the Weibo post was ambiguous, this single post still struck the hearts of the CP fans and the onlookers. In less than half an hour, it was number one on the hot search.
[Heavens! Is this a public coming out! So exciting!]
[It’s possible she’s just expressing her feelings, okay? Isn’t it normal for girls to post this kind of Weibo?]
[Ahhhhhhh! I don’t care! This is love!!! The person above, shut up!!]
[Wooo wooo, so touching!!! Out of all the CP pairs I’ve shipped, the houses have collapsed time after time. I didn’t expect one to actually come true!! You two must be happy!]
[Yes, I am willing to trade 30 pounds of fat for a hundred years of happiness for the NianMiao CP!]
Looking at the netizens’ comments, Duan Bainian couldn’t help but turn up the corners of her mouth.
Actually, she had originally prepared to post something direct like “This is my girlfriend,” but Su Miao said she didn’t want to be so blunt and was worried about affecting her future development, so they changed it to this current post.
A couple of days later, a new episode of Duan Bainian’s reality show was about to start recording.
The production team, taking advantage of the residual heat from the two of them being on the hot search, specifically invited Su Miao to participate in one episode as a guest.
Originally, Su Miao didn’t really want to participate in variety shows. Variety shows were too lively. Unlike acting, where there were clear lines and a script, she really couldn’t quite react in time.
But unable to resist Duan Bainian’s strong invitation, she participated in the recording of the new episode together.
After the recording ended, while waiting for the plane, the two were again surrounded by CP fans.
The girl who liked high ponytails was crying a total mess. “Wooo… Sister, I really didn’t expect you and Su Miao to be real. Sorry, I’m too excited! I promise I’ll definitely control myself next time!”
On the other side, the long-haired girl with glasses also had tears in her eyes. “Duan Bainian, you and my daughter must be well…”
Su Miao, who was called “daughter,” had a blank expression on her face.
Being called daughter to her face—didn’t she want any dignity? There was no need for celebrity chasing to be like this. She really didn’t want this “mom.”
After the plane landed, the two walked slowly back along the street. Halfway through, they passed a crossroad where a staff member stuffed an advertisement into Su Miao’s hand.
Su Miao took it and looked. “Red Rose Housing? My god, isn’t this name too tacky? Who would buy a place with this kind of name? When someone asks where you live, you’d have to answer ‘I live in Red Rose.’ People would think you’re in an illicit profession!”
Duan Bainian laughed so much she couldn’t stand up straight. “You little thing, you sure know a lot.”
Su Miao stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud. “I know plenty! But speaking of which, Duan Bainian, the two of us do need to buy a house. Always renting an apartment still doesn’t feel like home.”
“I think so too. Then should we go look at houses tomorrow?”
“Yes, yes! I want the kind with big floor-to-ceiling windows! The lighting must be good. With Ergou, the three of us will move in! Then we can raise another dog. The dog can’t be a Husky; they’re too stupid. It’s enough that I’m stupid—the family of four can’t have a whole nest of stupidity!”
“Then we can raise a Border Collie. Border Collies are smart.”
“Border Collies won’t work either. They’re too smart. I’m afraid they’d look down on me for being stupid! Raising a Golden Retriever is about right—a big warm guy!”
“Fine, it’s all up to you.”
“When the time comes, we’ll both be in front of the sun-drenched windows. You’ll be playing the guitar, and I’ll be sitting on the rug leaning against the Golden Retriever, holding Ergou, listening to you play…”
As the sun set in the west, the shadows of the two people slowly lengthened, intertwining, occasionally overlapping, and occasionally parting.
This day was just like every other day; people were coming and going on the street.
But this day was also a bit different from every other day, because in this world, there was one more pair of happy people.
