Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

So close...

Bai Kang's eyes flickered. To put it another way, he had a sudden urge to hug Mai Xiaowen.

However, he held back, as their current relationship was not strong enough for him to make such a transgression.

"Hmm, that should be much better now."

Mai Xiaowen smiled slightly, took two steps back, looked Bai Kang over, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Wow, this outfit suits you really well, you look like Daniel Wu." The shop assistant gave a perfectly timed compliment.

The best way to compliment a man is to say he looks like Daniel Wu.

Bai Kang was very pleased, and subconsciously even straightened his back a bit.

Mai Xiaowen stared at Bai Kang for a while, then turned to the young lady and said, "Pick a few more different styles for him."

"Okay." The young lady immediately picked out several summer outfits.

Soon, Bai Kang returned wearing a simple Korean-style outfit: a white shirt paired with loose jeans and white sneakers.

He has the air of a top influencer.

"This outfit suits the young man very well."

Mai Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Change it again."

For the next period of time, Bai Kang went in and out of the dressing room like a model.

Niche high-end style, everyday commuter style, sunny and handsome style, clean and refreshing style, and cool and edgy boyfriend style...

He can pull off a variety of different styles of clothing.

Bai Kang also experienced the pain of accompanying a girl to buy clothes. His face was numb as he let Mai Xiaowen help him organize the clothes.

"Wow, this guy is a walking clothes hanger! He looks handsome in anything he wears!" The shop assistant exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

"Miss, I'm so envious of you having such a handsome boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, Mai Xiaowen smiled slightly beneath her mask; she was very pleased with the compliment.

She waved her hand dismissively, "Pack up everything you were wearing just now."

"Huh?" Bai Kang was stunned, and quickly said, "That's too many, one set is enough."

He usually only has two sets of summer clothes, wearing one and washing the other immediately. When has he ever been so extravagant? Besides, for him, clothes just need to be wearable; why bother wearing something so nice?

Without giving him any room for argument, Mai Xiaowen ignored his request and took out a bank card, saying to the shop assistant, "Swipe the card."

"Okay!"

The young woman was very excited; these few sets would earn her a commission equivalent to a month's salary.

"Well, I still have to see your grandma later, I can't exactly carry this whole pile of clothes with me," Bai Kang said helplessly.

Mai Xiaowen also fell into deep thought. Indeed, what kind of thing is it to bring a pile of clothes to see one's grandmother?

"Don't worry, sir. Just give me an address, and I'll have someone deliver the clothes to you," the kind young woman said.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be nosy! I finally managed to sway her, and if you say that, all my efforts will be wasted.

Sure enough, Mai Xiaowen's hesitation was immediately dispelled upon hearing this.

"Okay, Bai Kang, please leave your address."

Bai Kang had no choice but to leave his rental address, forced to accept this gigolo's offer.

In the end, Bai Kang put on the first outfit, the retro-style one, and left the clothing store.

"Ugh, shopping with women and buying clothes is really tiring," Bai Kang complained.

Mai Xiaowen stopped in her tracks, and Bai Kang almost bumped into her, but luckily he reacted quickly enough.

"What's wrong?" he asked, puzzled.

Mai Xiaowen didn't speak or turn around, but silently raised her hand slightly.

The meaning was clear. Bai Kang smiled and said, "Want to hold hands?"

Mai Xiaowen retorted, "No, that's not it..."

However, he didn't pull his hand back.

"Alright, alright, it's me who wants to hold hands." Bai Kang generously gave Mai Xiaowen a way out, and then took the initiative to grasp this soft and boneless jade hand.

The latter trembled slightly but did not break free.

Bai Kang narrowed his eyes slightly; he noticed that Mai Xiaowen really liked holding hands.

These days, Mai Xiaowen always uses the excuse of pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend to hold his hand.

He observed that Mai Xiaowen's eyes held a strange desire—a desire for him.

It wasn't lust, but something like... well, how to describe it, like the desire to see a money tree.

He didn't know why, didn't understand, but respected it.

After all, Mai Xiaowen's hands are icy cold, making them easy to squeeze, aren't they?

Bai Kang suddenly remembered something important. "Right, I can't go to see Grandma empty-handed. I should find a fruit shop later and bring some fruit with me."

Mai Xiaowen shook her head. "No need, I'm ready."

"Hmm? What are you preparing?"

"Health supplements".

Bai Kang: ...

He thought for a moment, "I think I'll just buy some fruit. It feels weird to go empty-handed."

"Um."

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

The dim yellow silk threads wove a warm-colored wedding dress for Yuncheng.

Bai Kang also came to his grandmother's house.

This is a traditional courtyard house, and it's clear that Mai Xiaowen's grandmother lived a very wealthy life.

Although the courtyard houses in Yuncheng cannot compare to those in Kyoto, they are worth much more than some villas.

Mai Xiaowen took off her mask and shouted loudly before she even reached the door, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm home!"

Soon, a dog barked in the yard, followed by a kind female voice.

"Oh, wheat is finally back."

With a creak, a very kind-looking grandmother came out.

"Grandma!" Mai Xiaowen excitedly ran over and hugged her grandma.

"Let Grandma see if Xiaomai has lost weight." Grandma's eyes were lined with crow's feet, and her eyes were full of boundless love.

"I haven't lost weight at all. I'm living a great life, eating and drinking well every day." Mai Xiaowen brought her face close to her grandmother's and pinched her cheek.

In front of this elderly woman, Mai Xiaowen became much more lively, almost like Zoya.

"You've lost weight, you've lost weight..."

No matter how well a person is doing when they return home, in the eyes of their elders, they will always look thinner, even if they have actually gained weight.

Bai Kang was deeply moved by the heartwarming scene.

Having lived two lives, he had never experienced this kind of family affection, nor did he know what it felt like. However, judging from Mai Xiaowen's expression...

It's probably happiness.

"Oh my, this must be Xiaomai's boyfriend."

At this moment, the old man squinted at Bai Kang and said, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. He looks very sturdy and honest."

"Hello, Grandma, my name is Bai Kang, and I'm Xiaomai's boyfriend," Bai Kang greeted politely.

"Come in, come in! What kind of place is this, standing outside like this?" Grandma slapped her forehead and quickly called to the two of them.

Bai Kang smiled slightly and followed behind, carrying health supplements and fruit.

"Look at you, really, bringing all that stuff back to your own home." Grandma scolded, but her eyes were full of laughter.

"Grandma, there's no reason for you to come empty-handed. It's only right," Bai Kang replied with a smile.

The three entered the house.

"Grandpa! I'm back! Why didn't you come out to greet me? Don't you miss me?!" Mai Xiaowen shouted.

"Oh, Grandpa missed you so much! I was just cutting a watermelon for you," a little old man said quickly.

Immediately, the old man saw Bai Kang, and his face hardened. He said in a cold and indifferent tone:

"You're Xiaomai's boyfriend, and you're not all that great."
