230 Do You Think We’re a Good Couple? (1/2)

Nie Chang continued to pedal in a good mood. Ah, spending time with his little darling like this was really the best. He should have asked Su Yan to go out on a date much sooner after he brought it up. Honestly, why hadn't they done anything on Tuesday? And why hadn't they had anything planned when Su Yan's father called on Wednesday?

Not that it hadn't been fun at all to visit Su Yan's parents. Disregarding the fact that his future father-in-law had tried to make Su Yan break up with him, the evening had been quite harmonic. Playing Mahjong with Su Yan definitely was a new experience.

While Nie Chang pondered the last few days Su Yan sat behind him well behaved and just looked around. Unfortunately, he really wasn't into gardens and he soon stopped paying attention to the plants and moved on to observing the other visitors instead.

It was a workday today and still quite early so there were mostly tourists in the park. Su Yan didn't care about them though. He had seen so many tourists in his job at the railroad station that he had learned to ignore them if they didn't approach him. Instead, he focused on the locals. It seemed … most of them were young couples?

One, two, three, four, five … Su Yan counted them before he looked at Nie Chang's neck again. Six. Counting them in that were six couples. Ah, no, there had been the one in front of them before so that should be seven.

Was Century Park some kind of secret dating spot for couples? Or maybe not so secret considering so many couples had already arrived shortly after they opened.

Ah, Nie Chang was really investing a lot of time into their relationship. Thinking up a way to still fulfill his wish of going out before they had sex, finding such a good place to visit, even going so far as to drive him around without nagging …

Su Yan tugged at Nie Chang's shirt again. ”Ah Chang, do you think we're a good couple?”

”What do you mean?”

”Well …” Su Yan once again looked at one of the other couples. ”Working together and spending all our time off work together, doing things like going to Century Park … Do you think that's stuff all couples do?”

Nie Chang looked down at the hands of a certain little koala that had definitely taken him at his word and wasn't pedaling at all. Most likely, they were doing more than the normal couple would. But he didn't mind. He had worked so long to finally get Su Yan and he was used to doing everything for him.

Actually, he had never seen it as a chore. This was the person he loved. He was capricious, illogical and chaotic, liked to nag and complain and he was not only a bit demanding. That was part of who he was and Nie Chang knew that he had almost as much to do with this as Madam and Mister Su had. And even if he was given the chance, he wouldn't want to change anything about that either. Just like he would never want to change the way Su Yan clung to him when he was scared or cold or happy or just wanted to cuddle in general.

Nie Chang unwittingly smiled when he thought of that. His little darling was just special. Just think of how Su Yan always ran to him first when something happened to excitedly tell him all about it. He loved how Su Yan's eyes sparkled and how he smiled in these moments. Why would he want to change anything about it? He wouldn't even consider it!

”I don't know if we're like other couples. But I think we're a good couple all on our own.”

”Mn.” Su Yan nodded. ”Then … Are you happy with our relationship?”

”Uh … Of course?” Nie Chang frowned. ”Didn't I just say we're a good couple?”

”So you wouldn't want to change anything about it?”
