Qi Min promised Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong to go home for dinner on Sunday, but she had not yet figured out how to tell Anton about it.

If she directly said that she planned to go back to her parents' house for dinner, but she couldn't take him with her, it would hurt his self-esteem - whether it was explained that her parents minded about being mixed, or that her parents minded that Anton was temporarily out of work, or Just saying that her parents are not ready to meet their cute little granddaughter sounds like "Qi Min's parents look down on him."

In fact, it is possible that Qi Min's parents really looked down on him, but she must not let Anton think so. Anton has already experienced enough bad luck in his twenty-five years, and he doesn't need to add "being discriminated against by his girlfriend's parents" to the list.

Therefore, Qi Min did not tell Anton her plans for Sunday the day before. Instead, she planned to pretend that she would not receive a "notification" from her mother until about one o'clock and had to go home temporarily. Because Mimi had difficulty walking, it was not appropriate to travel at short notice, so Anton had to stay at home to watch Mimi.

So Qi Min slept as if nothing happened. When he woke up the next day and saw the memo on his phone, he remembered to pretend that he was "suddenly notified by his mother".

However, before she could get up from the bed to look for Anton—Anton usually got up earlier than her because he was making breakfast—she saw the bedroom door being pushed open, and Anton came in carrying a plastic tray.

Qi Min smelled the aroma of food, sat up and saw that there were porridge, soy milk and steamed dumplings on the tray, and there was even a golden and fluffy fried dough stick.

"Ah, there are fried dough sticks." Qi Min couldn't help but reach out to grab it, but Anton stuffed it with chopsticks.

"It's just exploded, it won't burn you to death." Anton said with a smile. His Chinese is also becoming more and more localized.

Qi Min picked up the fried dough sticks, dipped them in the bowl of sweet soy milk, and then took a bite. It's really crunchy and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's perfect when paired with sweet soy milk.

She also took steamed dumplings and ate them with soybean curd. While eating, he asked, "What day is it today? You actually encouraged me to eat in bed."

You should know that Anton was most annoyed by Qi Min eating in bed. Not to mention breakfast, even when she was eating potato chips in bed, Anton thought it was hard to clean up the mess she made. Moreover, if Qi Min eats breakfast in bed, Anton will have to deliver it to the bed in person. No one wants to do this kind of purely waiting work.

"It's not the day." Anton took out a small box from the pocket of his home clothes, "I'm just bored, so I want to give you a gift."

Qi Min took the box and opened it to find that it was a lipstick. The brand is not very famous, but it has been advertised on TV. Maybe Anton saw it by chance. The color number is true red, there is nothing strange about it.

However, it was common for Anton to give her something fancy for breakfast, but it was certainly not unreasonable to give her lipstick early in the morning. Qi Min's brain was racing at this moment. What day is it today? Valentine's Day? Still early. Her birthday? How could it be possible? It was impossible for her to forget her birthday. Is that Anton's birthday? Anton didn't know when he was born. Is it Mimi's "birthday"? Although she and Anton made up a birthday for Mimi, why did he give her a gift on Mimi's birthday...

After ruling out other possibilities, Qi Min reasoned that today should be her and Anton's sixth anniversary.

"Well..." Qi Min said awkwardly, "I still remember what day it is today."

"Forget it, I know you can't remember it." Anton didn't care much about this, "How can you remember it? I just thought this one looked good, so I bought it."

I have to say that Anton’s aesthetics is pretty good. Compared with those jokes on the Internet about boyfriends only recognizing Barbie fans for makeup, Anton's color vision is really normal.

"This is really pretty...your aesthetic is really good." Qi Min commented objectively, and said sincerely, "Speaking of which, I really lack such a red one for formal occasions."

Although Anton has a very good taste in color, he couldn't help but tease her deliberately: "I think this color suits you very well. A funny person like you must wear a clown's red lips."

After hearing this, Qi Min wanted to quarrel with him, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond tactfully, so he could only pretend to say: "Alas, your understanding of lipstick is still too shallow."

Unexpectedly, Anton replied: "My understanding is shallow, but I have talent. Do you want to make a bet? If we wear the same makeup, the same lipstick and the same style of women's clothing, my return rate will be higher than yours."

Qi Min imagined the scene for a while, and immediately corrected his attitude and said seriously: "Anton, don't go out on the street dressed as a girl just for fun. You don't even know who is on the street now - if there are really obscene people, If a man makes love to you or something like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to help blowing their heads off."

When she was in the United States, Qi Min lived very close to a slum area, so she would carry a gun when she had to go out at night. But she can't bring her gun back into the country, so blowing her head off is just talk. But if it was a stabbing with a knife, maybe she could really do it.

"Damn, calm down." Anton was a little frightened by her, "If the other party doesn't take actual action, this is not a legitimate defense." Perhaps in order to divert the topic from the bloody aspect, he joked again, "And even if I don't dress like a woman, I will still be looked at by a lot of women."

Unexpectedly, for this kind of thing, Qi Min waved his hand and said: "Hey, the woman just looked at it, what does it matter? You are a big man, there is no way you can be raped by a little girl."

This was true, but Anton was still a little angry after hearing it, and he also felt a little weird.

However, Qi Min's stern words like "Whoever dares to rape my boyfriend will blow his head off" are still a bit touching.

But Anton was a little satisfied with Qi Min's reaction, which didn't mean that Qi Min himself didn't feel guilty. She got up, changed clothes, washed up, and played absentmindedly for a while with Mimi, who was sitting at the dining table watching TV. She kept thinking about how to sneak home on the sixth anniversary.

Hey, this sounds like asking for leave from the boss. Qi Min suddenly realized that Anton was not her boss, and this was not a must-celebrate holiday. When she was busy before, she couldn't even celebrate her birthday, let alone think about it. In the final analysis, it is because life is better now that I have the leisure to engage in these "life moods".

Then her mother summoned her back temporarily, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.

After Qi Min finished breakfast, he heard Anton say that there was no wind today and he could take Mimi to a farther place. She suddenly pretended to feel the message notification on WeChat's vibration, picked up her phone and said, "Hey, my mom asked me to go home for dinner."

Anton glanced at her, but didn't say anything special: "Then you just go directly? You don't need to prepare anything, right?"

Hearing what he said, Qi Min felt that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, and said quickly: "No, I'm just going to have a meal."
