My girlfriend is from the future!

Naturally, only the closest people can detect the subtle changes in a man's personality.

In front of others, he is still the young and wealthy upstart from the south who is flawless in his conduct.

In order to shift the focus of the topic from "starting a family", He Tianran lamented the development of Nanzhi Island and talked about the changes he saw when he came to the island. He said that after it is developed, it will definitely become a tourist destination.

This made the Cao couple echo a few words with deep sympathy, and it also connected with some of the previous conversations between He Tianran and Cao Fengyao. Although visiting Cao Aiqing was an important reason for them to come to the island this time, this trip was also planned a long time ago.

Traveling two or three times a year is the couple's habit and also their little secret to maintaining their love over the years.

Each trip lasts from three to five days at the shortest, to more than half a month at the longest, and they travel both domestically and abroad, to South America and Central Asia. Just in the few years that Cao Aiqing was studying in the UK, the couple went to Europe several times. Now, the number of visas stamped in their passports is not necessarily less than that of this young couple who travels all over the world so often.

Several people were chatting about their daily lives. Father Cao mentioned that he had become fascinated with photography in recent years and that he always carried his camera with him wherever he went. As he spoke, he showed He Tianran some photos he had taken recently. He humbly asked for advice and suggested that since this was a rare opportunity, the family could go around the island and take some photos.

Since the elders had made such a suggestion, the two younger generations would naturally not refuse. Moreover, He Tianran knew in his heart that Cao's father and mother had only been to Nanzhi Island for two days. The island was so small that they had already visited all the places they should visit. The reason they said this was simply to give the two children some time to spend together.

After leaving the tavern, Cao Fengyao handed his Fuji camera to He Tianran. After they walked to a beach and looked at the rows of fishing boats soliciting customers, the middle-aged couple said they wanted to go out to sea for a stroll. Cao Aiqing had no interest in this as she stayed on the island every day. She didn't say anything, so He Tianran naturally wanted to stay and accompany her. The four of them tacitly understood each other and acted separately.

"Click——"

Not far from the shore, He Tianran pressed the shutter and took a photo of the Cao couple boarding the boat. In the picture, the old man was standing on the edge of a small fishing boat, holding the mast with one hand and reaching out to his wife who was holding up the hem of her skirt with the other hand.

The man looked down at the work he had shot, then raised his head when he felt that he was being observed, and met the gaze of Cao Aiqing beside him. This made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only smile helplessly.

Then, his girlfriend slowly took a step forward. He Tianran subconsciously wanted to step back, but immediately, the other party took his arm with ease.

This intimate action made the black-bellied man's back straighten and stiffen.

"Tianran, are you worried?"

Cao Aiqing's voice is clear and warm, and it sounds soft in my ears.

He Tianran's footsteps just like that were slowly pulled forward by the other party. His cautious instinct made him reply subconsciously:

"Why did you ask so?"

"Is it weird that I care about my boyfriend?"

I originally wanted to test whether my girlfriend noticed my strangeness by asking this question, but I was thrown off balance by the intimate banter between lovers.

"I, I'm fine..."

"He pretends to be fine..." Cao Aiqing complained softly, then raised his other hand and tapped the man's left chest with his finger: "But here, it's all about thoughts."

There was a hint of panic in He Tianran's expression and he looked away.

"Well, you said no, but now you can't hold back your pride, right?"

Seeing her boyfriend's reaction, Cao Aiqing did not let him go, and deliberately laughed at him after succeeding.

"Hey~ I... Do you like the bag I gave you?"

Cao Aiqing looked at He Tianran who changed the subject and said:

"I like it. It's Hermès. It's true. If you didn't hide something from me, I wouldn't believe that you, a Pixiu, would bleed so much."

"Is it... unusual for me to give a bag to my girlfriend?"

He Tianran finally replied with his original words, but it seemed that he lacked confidence just by reading them verbatim.

Cao Aiqing blinked, "Sure, are you sure it's a gift and not an apology? If it's an apology, I can make a big deal out of it for the sake of Hermes. But if you're just giving me a gift, then I'll accept it with a clear conscience. If you say something else or hide something from me and I find out, then the nature of the matter will be different."

Although there was a hint of coquettish threat in the girl's tone, there was no oppression in her aura or posture. It was just this kind of little interest that only happened between lovers that really made this "writer" He Tianran not know how to deal with it.

The two walked in silence. The girlfriend did not urge him. The man pondered for a moment and finally said:

"I... do have something to say, but I don't know how to tell you."

"Is it...about you and Wen Liang?"

"……what?"

"..."

"..."

Cao Aiqing and He Tianran, who was slightly surprised, both stopped suddenly.

They were silent, but the moist and cool sea breeze blew, raising one wave after another on the sea surface, layer upon layer, just like their flying emotions at the moment.

He Tianran forced a smile, "Why... did you suddenly mention her? Didn't I explain my story with her... just now in the pub?"

"I did explain it clearly, but I noticed that you still looked unhappy after the explanation, so... I was afraid that you would mention her again later. As you know, my sixth sense is usually quite accurate, but now that you have said this, I will conclude that your concerns have nothing to do with her, okay?"

"……sure."

"Okay." As she said that, Cao Aiqing twisted her boyfriend's arm 90 degrees through his clothes.

"Well……"

The sudden pain made He Tianran gasp and he couldn't help but cry out. His expression, which had been pretending to be calm, became a little embarrassed because of his endurance.

He subconsciously wanted to break free, but there was no way, his arm was held by Cao Aiqing, and just after the other party finished the punishment, he felt his arm tighten again, and was hugged tighter by his girlfriend. Then he heard Cao Aiqing's happy voice after venting his indignation:
"Hehe, if you didn't cheat on me, then I can forgive you for a lot of things. After all, the Hermes bag represents a lot of love~"

"Then...it's the gift you like."

"Of course!"

This sentence must have made Cao Aiqing speak with great determination. Even if on this island, these luxury goods cannot show any special added value, but it is this intangible quality that is close to "love" that can make women feel satisfied. What's more, compared with the unstable "love", luxury goods are often represented by a very concrete object.

Xue Yong said that day that for men, when it comes to luxury cars and watches, if they talk about seniority, they may not be able to come up with an answer that satisfies everyone even if they argue for three days and three nights; but for women, when it comes to bags, Hermès is the jewel in the crown, the top brick on the pyramid, and giving this as a gift is like sending it to the top.

Therefore, it is true that "Bao" can cure all diseases.

Cao Aiqing's worldly appearance seemed more real and lovely in He Tianran's eyes, which reduced his "reverence" for him and made his state more natural.

"Hehe~ I'm glad you like it."

As long as he returns to the secular world, that is the area that He Tianran with this personality is good at.

However, He Tianran, who has the personality of a "writer", does not know that what can make the goddess become attached to the mortal world is definitely not some kind of material, they are just added value...

She can be jealous and overjoyed after receiving a gift. All these behaviors are based on——

She loves him.

After a while, when the two had walked a little further, He Tianran suggested, "After more than half a month, you should be very familiar with this island, right? Take me around."

"It's okay actually. Do you just want to see the scenery, or do you want to experience the island life?"

“Can I still experience island life?”

He Tianran was very curious, but Cao Aiqing denied this statement. She said:

"It's just going out to sea to fish or something, but I don't think you're interested in it. After all, you and your dad have plenty of opportunities to go fishing..."

Cao Aiqing let go of He Tianran's hand. As she thought about it, she took a few steps forward, turned around and said as she stepped back:
"By the way, yesterday, a movie projector came to the village. The location was in the backyard of our guesthouse. We were all sitting in a row ready to watch the movie, but then it seemed that there was something wrong with the projector, which made everyone very disappointed. I don't know if the old man fixed it today..."

She walked lightly, as if she had found something interesting that would arouse her boyfriend's interest, and began to talk incessantly.

"Movie?"

"Yes, it's the kind of mobile movies that are shown in the countryside and come to the village every once in a while."

He Tianran was surprised to hear that there were such activities on the island. "Oh~ This is really a business from the last century. Doesn't the island have water, electricity and internet? How come there are mobile movies now?"

"It should be some welfare policy advocated by the government, such as bringing entertainment to the countryside. Although it is a bit crude, the atmosphere is different when everyone sits together at night..."

Having said that, Cao Aiqing clapped his hands, stopped and suggested:
"By the way, that old man has to go to Shanhou Village for a day today. If the machine is not repaired, it will probably be in trouble. Tianran, how about you go and take a look?"

The man was stunned. "Me?"

"Yes, just consider it as a favor. If possible, we can also take a ride to the village behind the mountain. The scenery there is better than the village in front of the mountain. But after the island plan is implemented, the village over there will start to be demolished. If you go to see it now, it will probably be your last look."

Seeing the girl finally thinking of an idea and strongly recommending it, the man opened his mouth, but finally suppressed the urge to talk about his own psychological problems.

He suddenly changed his tone, "Okay."

Cao Aiqing ran over with a joyful look on her face and took his arm again. The man's body stiffened again, but this time, he quickly revealed a happy smile.

Just like the "boy" personality who knows that he is not suitable for his current identity and work environment but still clings to the superficial harmony of having his parents by his side, He Tianran's "writer" personality seems to have found a story that he has imagined countless times in his mind but has never written.

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the guesthouse along the same route.

Coincidentally, when the two returned to the place again, they saw a very elegant Jinbei van parked in the backyard. The words "Government Public Welfare Film" were pasted on the front and back of the car, while the passenger side door was directly printed with slogans such as "Rural Public Welfare Film Screening Vehicle" and "Bringing Movies to the Countryside".

The car looks very new because these character logos are particularly eye-catching, but at the same time, it is also because of the information on the car that it is difficult for people who are used to living in big cities to believe that such a thing still exists in this rapidly changing era.

At this moment, the rear side door of the projection truck was open, and two elderly people in their sixties were leisurely carrying the projection equipment out of the room in the huge backyard. They were a man and a woman, and seemed to be a couple. Although they were old, they were in good physical and mental health.

While He Tianran's eyes were still on the projection car, the old lady on the other end was the first to notice Cao Aiqing's arrival. Perhaps because she often traveled around the surrounding countryside, she greeted him warmly in Cantonese:
"Sister is back. Have you eaten yet?"

Cao Aiqing walked towards him with a smile and introduced:

"I've eaten, grandpa and grandma, this is my boyfriend, a director, and he also worked part-time as a painter when he was studying. I brought him back specially to help you watch the show~"

The girl's Cantonese was very authentic, and He Tianran was stunned for a while, until the grandfather next to him followed the sound and walked around to the front of the car, glanced at him, and said angrily:
"The young man has a nice body and a nice neck, is it okay?"

This remark, which was a bit sarcastic and sardonic, made He Tianran click his tongue and raise his voice a few notches. He said:
"It doesn't matter what you do, Grandpa. Let's wait and see." (End of this chapter)
