You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 361 My Love

On July fifth, Nina had finally finished her last exam and strode out of the teaching building with a sense of relief. A classmate handed Nina a rose as she pointed to a direction and said, "Mrs. Shi, your husband is waiting for you over there."

The rose in her hand was decorated with little water droplets, dazzling in the setting sun.

"What? My husband?" Nina reached out and took the rose. A wisp of a familiar fragrance wafted into her nose.

Nina looked in the direction, trying to see John but to no avail.

"Thank you." Nina just decided to thank her and walk to the direction she pointed at.

Just a few steps away, another classmate handed her a rose and pointed to the same direction, saying the same words.

"Mrs. Shi, your husband is waiting for you over there."

Nina was stunned and took the second rose.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

After walking for some time now, Nina couldn't even count how many roses she had. Her arms were filled with more than a bouquet by now.

What was John up to?

Was this because she finished her exams?

Nina looked down and carefully arranged the roses in her arms. She had to hold them neatly because they were from John after all. She couldn't break them. "Mrs. Shi, this is for you."

Her eyes were met with a red rose accompanied by familiar slender fingers and an unmistakable voice filling her ears.

Nina froze. Her eyes slowly looked up the flower and followed the slender fingers.

She smiled at his hands and took the roses.

These hands had become a symbol of security for her.

They would often interlock their fingers while John held her in his arms each night before falling asleep. Even when they walked around, he would hold her hand in the palm of his. "Mr. Shi?" Nina raised her head and laid her eyes on the dreamy figure before her. The shadow of the tree acted like a mask on his face but couldn't hide how handsome he was.

This was not the first time she was called Mrs. Shi,

but somehow she felt different this time.

John's voice was so gentle,

she couldn't help but become intoxicated.

All they needed was a long simple life together.

"Mrs. Shi, do you know how many roses you have there?" John took Nina's hand and walked her to the school gate.

"I don't," Nina said.

John glanced at her silently.

It was difficult to tell whether he was happy or not; the only thing for certain was that he looked a little helpless.

"Let me count." Nina was about to pull her hand away when John tightened his clutch. He said slowly, "52."

"52?" Nina quickly got his point. "Are you trying to say 'I love you' in this way. But you should give me 520 roses. What about the remaining 468?"

Nina raised her eyebrows and cheekily glanced at him.

"520 roses are far too many. You won't be able to hold them." John turned his head and smirked at Nina.

"520 means that I love you.

52 means my love. My one true love in my life.

You are the love of my whole life, little girl."

"Come on! I think you are just trying to replace an excuse so that you don't need to give me 520 roses," Nina cheekily remarked. The beautiful grin on her face was so gorgeous that it put the roses to shame. Nina had told John that James and Emma were out shopping and holding hands lovingly.

He knew his little girl didn't just bring this up for no reason. She definitely wanted to hold hands and shop as well.

John took her hand and led her into a food street near the university. It was littered with places flooded with delectable treats and food.

There were boutique restaurants and antique vendors. It was a lively area filled with pleasant servers and children running back and forth, their mouths stained with food.

"There's a food street here." Nina stopped in surprise. Before she met John and Michelle, she seldom socialized with her classmates or even wandered around the university.

At that time, she was still good friends with Isabella, and they mainly went to some high-end places. Nina was actually bored of that whole experience.

Ever since she met John and Michelle, she seemed to have a completely new lease on life. Every day was a new adventure.

Her face couldn't help but fill with excitement.

"Honey, I want to eat that!" Nina took John by the hand and asked him to buy a pie for her. She took a bite, and the taste immediately consumed her taste buds.

It was a massive pie so after a third of it, she was already full.

She wasn't going to let it go to waste though. She turned and shoved it into John's mouth.

"Honey, eat."

Not that he had a choice, John took a bite. He raised his eyebrows saying, "Not bad."

"Yes, I thought so." Nina's eyes lit up like a child who had just been given a new toy. She was determined to explore this market.

Nina planned on tasting every dish in this place and if she couldn't, John was going to help her.

As expected, she did what she intended. She only took two bites out of most snacks and then handed them to John to finish. Nina said, "Honey, you are too thin." John obediently ate them all.

He wasn't thin though. After all, his abs enticed Nina more than anything else most nights.

He couldn't throw the snacks away since Nina handed them to him.

When they were full, the two of them passed by a boutique where two little elk ornaments were displayed.

"Honey, please buy them for me." Nina stared at the two ornaments, lost in thought.

"Okay." John took her in and took the ornaments to the counter to pay.

The cashier couldn't help but take a few more glances at John. She saw Nina holding a bunch of flowers as well. The cashier couldn't help but envy Nina.

"Are you buying those for your girlfriend?" She found any excuse to talk to John. The cashier wasn't really expecting an answer because of how stern John looked. "My wife," John answered in a serious tone.

The cashier was stunned and raised her head in shock.

"My wife," John said again.

"We got married two years ago," Nina explained with a smile, her eyes never leaving John's steely face.

The cashier finally came to her senses. "Oh, so you are married? It's rare to replace a man who gets his wife flowers. Is today your wedding anniversary?"

"No, it isn't. I don't know what's wrong with him." Nina smiled again, shook the flowers in her hand and held his hand tighter.

She didn't know why but she just wanted everyone to see how in love they were.

She always thought that showing off one's love was a childish thing to do, but once she felt such pure emotion for John, she couldn't help wanting the world to see it.

She needed them all to know that John was hers.

The cashier smiled and said, "WeChat Pay or Alipay? Please show me the payment code and I'll swipe it."

"Pay by card." John took out the black card and handed it to the cashier.

She took the card and realized that the couple in front of her had to be rich. She did her best to be as careful as possible as she swiped the card.

After swiping the card a couple times, the cashier hesitantly said, "Sir, your card has been frozen."

Nina was stunned. "Who would even think about freezing your card?"

"You!" John calmly took the card and turned his head to face Nina. "When did you freeze it?"

"Me? I only froze the secondary card." Nina stopped dead. Her mouth hung open as she slowly blinked. She couldn't believe it.

"So I have the principal card?"

"Yes."

Nina was shocked.

John had given her the principal card, and he used the secondary card himself.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
