Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 578 - 350 The Love of a Man for a Woman 1

"Buy fruits!" he said, having noticed her fondness for fruits at Tian Family’s place. She mustn’t have any at her own place, since she came back so late to buy them.

Thinking he was buying them for himself, Tian Xin didn’t say anything. After Tang Baijin chose only a few fruits and paid, he said, "Get in the car, I’ll take you home!"

"But, I don’t have my keys," Tian Xin looked at him.

Tang Baijin said, "There’s a locksmith at our construction site. I’ll call him over. You could stay at your aunt’s tonight, I’ll get your phone and wallet after unlocking the door, and bring them to you first thing tomorrow morning!"

"That’s too much trouble," Tian Xin shook her head, "I’ll wait for the locksmith."

The supermarket Tian Xin chose was not far from home. Tang Baijin parked the car in her apartment’s parking lot and then took the fruits upstairs.

Tian Xin was puzzled, "Why are you bringing the fruits?"

"To eat first! They’re not the freshest, but manage with these for now. This weekend, let’s go to the countryside to pick fresh fruits, shall we?" Tang Baijin asked her.

"Sure!" Tian Xin smiled, "I can enjoy the rural scenery and have fresh fruits, how wonderful!"

The locksmith came quickly, unlocked the door, installed a new lock, and then left.

Tian Xin washed the fruits and said, "There’s not much food at home, let’s have fruits!"

Tang Baijin unhesitantly took an apple, "I’ll eat it on my way. Get some rest early, and remember to join me this weekend for fruit picking."

"Thank you!" said Tian Xin sincerely, "It’s late, drive slowly on your way back."

Weekend.

And thus, early summer arrived!

In the countryside of City A, large orchards abound, mostly with lychees, longans, bananas and so on. The lychees, hanging heavily on the short trees, are encased in thin skin, juicy and sweet—Tian Xin loved them!

She immediately started picking herself, "I’ll also take some for Ranran later! She loved lychees when she was pregnant."

Watching her, Tang Baijin suddenly realized when she mentioned Bei Ran, it was just the name of an old friend. Perhaps there were moments of longing, but no longer tied to love.

In his eyes at that moment, there was only the loyal Tian Xin, who would go to any length for a friend; only the mischievous Tian Xin, who climbed trees to pick fruits like a child; only the carefree Tian Xin, voraciously eating fruits with juice dripping down to her lips.

Tian Xin briskly climbed up a longan tree, much taller than the lychee tree. Leaning on a branch, she called to the man below, "Do you want to come up and eat, or should I pick and toss them to you?"

Actually, what he really wanted was for her to peel the lychees or longans and feed him the luminous fruits from her fingertips—that would be bliss.

Of course, saying that would surely frighten her.

It’s rare that she came out with him to the wilderness of the orchard, showing her deep trust in him.

"Just throw them to me!" Tang Baijin responded, "If you fall, I can catch you!"

Tian Xin picked several bunches of longans for him, "Wow, the taste of fresh and ripe fruits picked right from the tree is just different. Try some."

Tang Baijin caught them and started eating with her.

Tian Xin sat on the tree, scratching her skin grazed by branches and leaves due to wearing a short-sleeved shirt, losing her balance as she scratched. She screamed and fell from the tree.

Tang Baijin quickly reached out and caught her, both falling onto the soft ground.

Although it was a heroic rescue, the hero wished to hold the beauty in his arms without letting go!

Tian Xin fell all over the place, yet she didn’t feel any pain, instead she felt the ground oddly warm. Looking closely, she realized she was lying on Tang Baijin. Not only that, his hand was protectively around her waist.

Caught totally off guard, she exclaimed, "Look at you, jinxed it, I really fell down..."

"Didn’t I catch you though?"

Tian Xin propped herself up not with her hands on the ground, but on his chest.

"Sorry, I’m too heavy..."

She rolled off him, then stood up only to notice a button from her shirt had come off.

Embarrassed by this, she felt hesitant to turn around and face him.

Tang Baijin was just wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt, and he certainly understood what had happened. He said to her, "Wait here, I’ll go to the car for a moment."
