Qiping felt that his life had become more exciting. He and Kate had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend, which made Qiping very excited and happy.
Finally, his emotional life was no longer a blank slate. At this moment, Qiping naturally paid more attention and valued this relationship with Kate. It was also normal for him to be very clingy since they had just started dating.
"Look at these roses, all of them were sent by you. Unfortunately, they have all withered now. I think you shouldn't send roses like this in the future; it's a waste." In San Diego, in Kate's small apartment, Kate was tidying up her clothes and said, the room was full of roses, which Qiping had sent a few days ago when he confessed his love.
"I was very nervous. I saw that bastard sending you roses, and I was at a loss. I had a dream at night, dreaming that you were getting further and further away from me, and I couldn't catch your hand no matter what. I woke up and drove back here in the middle of the night; I needed to confess to you." Gently hugging Kate, Qiping told her about his thoughts.
"I've told you before, it was a misunderstanding, but I think these misunderstandings were also beautiful. If it weren't for these misunderstandings, I think you might never have had the courage to confess to me!" Kate laughed triumphantly, kissed Qiping, and felt very lucky. Because of these small misunderstandings, she had gained a boyfriend, a very good boyfriend.
Kate did receive flowers, and in fact, she received flowers every day. However, it wasn't because someone was pursuing her, but because Kate loved flowers, and her family grew flowers. So, even if Kate couldn't go home every day due to work, a flower shop that had a partnership with her family could send her a beautiful bouquet of roses every day.
Qiping found it amusing; it was indeed a case of a misunderstanding. Even though the process seemed a bit complicated, the outcome was incredibly beautiful, and that was enough. Qiping was also very proud; this relationship was very important to both him and Kate. They both valued this relationship greatly because it was their first love.
"I've decided to give up this apartment and drive back to Ramona every day!" Kate patted her suitcase proudly, announcing this decision she had been considering for a few days. Although they had just started dating, they were already very familiar with each other, so their relationship naturally developed quickly and steadily.
Qiping was taken aback. Honestly, he was a bit happy; if Kate came home every day, they would have more time to spend together. Couples in love always felt that time was not enough, and being able to stick together was very important.
However, Qiping was also a bit concerned. If Kate drove back to Ramona every day, it would take a lot of time. At least two hours a day would be spent on the road, which was not an easy task.
"Kate, I think you don't need to give up this apartment. The rent isn't expensive, and most importantly, if you have this apartment, you have another option. We might go to San Diego to watch a movie or date, not necessarily every day in Ramona." Qiping thought it wasn't the time to worry about a little rent; making Kate's commute easier was more important.
Given Qiping's current situation, he could afford to let Kate not work, but he knew it wasn't wise to suggest that now. They had just started dating, and if Qiping started interfering with Kate's career, it would be inappropriate.
"Okay, I can still pay the rent. But I'm not worried about my pocket money; my boyfriend is rich, and you'll pay for our dates!" Kate patted her suitcase playfully, feeling proud as Qiping picked it up for her. As a girl with a boyfriend, Kate didn't need to carry heavy items; she just needed to hold her boyfriend's arm, which made her strong boyfriend look even more proud.
Every time a girl falls in love, a father loses his favorite daughter.
Seeing his beloved daughter holding hands with that hateful boy, Eric felt he had misjudged Qiping. He used to think Qiping was a decent young man, but when he learned that Qiping was dating Kate, Eric thought Qiping was a complete scoundrel, especially when he heard that Kate chose to drive to work every day to spend more time with Qiping. The drive from San Diego to Ramona took an hour, and to have time together every day, Kate was crazy!
"Eric, Qiping and I are going to the orchard! I'll bring back some tomatoes, so we'll have more delicious tomato sauce." Eric felt his hands shaking, seeing his beloved daughter so happy, he couldn't stand Qiping.
"You must bring Kate back by eleven, boy. I know where you live! Don't anger me; I'm a traditional Westerner. If I find out something, I'll challenge you to a fight in an empty place without any protective gear." Eric's threat was supposed to be intimidating, but it was ruined by his daughter's playful face as she pulled Qiping away, making Eric even more depressed.
Qiping smiled and said goodbye to Kate's family before leaving. He knew that fathers often disliked their daughters' boyfriends. The thought of their beloved child being taken away by another man, and possibly being demoted from the top spot in their daughter's heart, was indeed cruel.
"My relationship with Eric is very awkward; he looks like he wants to kick me out completely." In the car, Qiping joked with Kate; he had adapted to some American customs, such as calling people by their first names. However, Qiping also respected local customs, and he wouldn't accept his child calling him by his first name; if that happened, the child would get a good spanking.
"Not just Eric, but Joshua too; they don't welcome you. I think only Caroline has a better attitude towards you, and that might be because you always bring delicious vegetables." Kate felt very happy every day. Starting a relationship with Qiping, she discovered many interesting things in life that she had never noticed before.
Qiping thought Kate's words made sense. He had taken Kate away, and he had become the 'public enemy' of Kate's family. This was a normal reaction, and Qiping understood. Looking at Kate's bright smile, Qiping felt that everything was worth it, even if it meant having a few more 'enemies.'
"Jingang, come to big sister!" As soon as they returned to the orchard, Kate saw Jingang and the others and waved happily. She knew Qiping was the big brother to these little guys, so she was naturally their big sister. "And Winnie, big sister misses you all; you are so cute!"
Qiping rolled his eyes; they had dinner here just yesterday, and it hadn't even been 24 hours, so where was all this longing coming from?
Seeing Kate hugging Jingang and Winnie, and even greeting Dongnanxibei, Qiping suddenly felt jealous. He now understood Eric's feelings. His sweetie, who used to belong only to him, was now being taken away by other scoundrels, and the psychological gap was indeed significant!
"Go away, go play with Black Charcoal!" Seeing Dongnanxibei wagging their tails and greeting Kate, Qiping started to interfere; he was jealous!
