Scene One:
"Sis, that man next to you looks so scary. You should stay away from him." Song Nuan's seven-year-old cousin said to her.
"Gu Beichen, smile. You're scaring the kid." Song Nuan turned and gently told her little cousin, "Niuniu, look, Uncle's smiling."
"Waaah, I want to go home! I want to go home and find Mom!" Her little cousin turned and ran back crying.
Scene Two:
"Honey, what would you like to eat today?"
"I don't have much of an appetite today. I don't feel like eating anything." Song Nuan held it in for a while, then finally vented her frustration at Gu Beichen.
"Then I'll make you some porridge." Gu Beichen went into the kitchen and got to work.
"Honey, the porridge is ready. Drink it while it's hot." Gu Beichen brought the porridge over to Song Nuan.
"Hmph. Is this how you treat your wife? You think a little porridge is enough to get you off the hook?" Song Nuan deliberately picked a fight.
Gu Beichen said nothing and went back to the kitchen to get to work. An hour later...
"Honey, I made a few dishes you usually like." He had made boiled beef, spicy chicken, pork lung slices in chili sauce, and scrambled eggs with chili peppers. All meat dishes.
"Are you trying to make me gain weight so you can dump me?" Song Nuan cried.
Knock, knock, knock. The sounds of chopping and frying came from the kitchen again. Another hour later, there was stir-fried yam, wood ear mushroom salad, stir-fried bok choy, and tomato and egg soup. Before Song Nuan could find fault with anything else, Gu Beichen came up behind her and held her.
"Honey, eat a little of everything first, then you can pick a fight with your husband. If you go hungry, it'll break my heart." Gu Beichen picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Song Nuan.
Seeing Gu Beichen like this, all her earlier frustration melted away. With a husband like this, what more could she ask for?
Scene Three:
At an upscale restaurant, Gu Beichen sat alone by the window, waiting for Song Nuan.
A seductive woman walked over. "Sir, may I sit here?" Before Gu Beichen could answer, she sat down on her own.
Gu Beichen took out his phone. The woman was delighted, thinking he was about to ask for her contact information. She was just about to speak when Gu Beichen said into the phone, "Song Nuan, hurry up and get over here. Your man is being harassed." Song Nuan answered from the other end, "Huh? Oh."
