Chapter 283

"Why are you apologizing? It's my fault, I was too anxious. Forget it, these things should happen naturally."

Qin Tian smiled and said frankly, "Alright, I admit I was just a bit envious. Let's not talk about this."

Hearing him say this, Xia Nuannuan felt even more guilty.

"No, Brother Tian, you're right. Chen Zhuang and the others all address you that way, so it really isn't very good. I should change to a more intimate address."

Xia Nuannuan said seriously.

Hearing this, Qin Tian looked at her with surprise.

Xia Nuannuan blushed and added, "However, you... I still can't say the one you mentioned just now, let's change to another one."

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"Then you suggest another one!"

"Ah? But I don't know what other address is suitable!"

"Then how about this? When I go back to the dorm, I'll ask Shen Siqi and the others to give me some ideas, and then I'll discuss it with you, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

Qin Tian nodded with amusement and said, "You don't have to be so serious, I just thought of it suddenly and said it casually."

Xia Nuannuan just shook her head and didn't say anything.

She felt this was a very important matter. As a girlfriend, how could she address Qin Tian the same way as others? There must be an exclusive address.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

Qin Tian didn't expect Xia Nuannuan to be so serious and changed the subject. "Right, you were quite cool when you slapped the table just now. I didn't expect you to have this side; it surprised me."

"I... I was just angry, who told him to talk about you like that."

Xia Nuannuan showed a pouty look, then asked embarrassedly, "Did I scare you? Do I seem quite fierce?"

Qin Tian let go of her hand, walked around, and affectionately hugged her slender waist, smiling gently, "How could that be? I know you were protecting me. Otherwise, with your personality, how could you get angry with others? So, what should I do now that I like my Nuannuan even more?"

Xia Nuannuan's eyes curved, and she bumped his shoulder with her small head, feeling both shy and happy in her heart.

"However, from now on, let me handle these things. You just need to know that I'm very capable and won't let anyone bully me."

"Mmhmm!"

"Nuannuan."

"Hmm?"

"I want to kiss you, what should I do?"

"Ah? Here?"

Xia Nuannuan's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked around with a flushed face.

Qin Tian had already lowered his head and kissed her hair lightly.

"Alright, this counts as interest. I'll collect the principal when I have the chance."

"You're annoying!"

"What? You're already annoyed with me?"

"If you do that again, I... I'll hit you!"

"Alright, alright, no more teasing, haha..."

Xia Nuannuan returned to the dorm with the clothes she bought today. Lu Lei and Shen Siqi were already there.

"Nuannuan, you're back. Help us see where we should post these two forms?"

Shen Siqi held two forms and transparent tape, asking with a smile.

"On the wall here, or behind the door is fine, as long as it's in a conspicuous place."

Xia Nuannuan shared her thoughts.

"Then let's post it on this wall!"

Shen Siqi nodded and busied herself.

"That... Sister Lei, Siqi, I have something I want to ask for your ideas."

After Xia Nuannuan put the shopping bag on her desk, she said nervously.

"What is it?"

Shen Siqi tore off a piece of tape and glanced at her with a puzzled look.

Lu Lei, who was sitting over there, also cast an inquiring gaze at her.

"It's... that..."

Xia Nuannuan stammered for a moment with a flushed face, then gritted her teeth and said, "How do you think I should address Brother Tian to make it better?"

"Address?"

Shen Siqi was stunned.

Lu Lei was also startled, then immediately understood and smiled knowingly, "Nuannuan, you mean, a term of endearment between couples?"

"Right, right!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking at her with full anticipation.

"So that's it. Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Shen Siqi asked with a playful smile.

"Oh, stop asking me, hurry and give me some ideas."

Xia Nuannuan said in annoyance.

"Alright, let me think."

Shen Siqi nodded with a grin, thinking while posting the forms.

"There's actually no fixed answer for how couples address each other. Every couple is different; just choose what you like and are used to."

Lu Lei said with a gentle smile.

"Sister Lei is right. I think 'Brother Tian' is already very good!"

Shen Siqi nodded in agreement.

Xia Nuannuan shook her head and said, "Chen Zhuang and the others all address him that way, I think..."

"Understood, you want to distinguish it and be more intimate, right?"

"Mmhmm!"

"Tsk tsk!"

Shen Siqi smacked her lips with envy and teased, "Nuannuan, honestly, is this your own idea, or did Qin Tian tell you?"

"Brother Tian said it, but it's also my own idea."

Xia Nuannuan answered with a flushed face.

"Is it because of Lv Yanran and Cao Mingliang?"

Lu Lei asked with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan looked at her in surprise.

"Oh, right. When they left just now, Lv Yanran called him 'darling.' Oh my god, I was stunned when I heard it, it was so sudden."

Shen Siqi said meaningfully.

"It's not entirely because of them."

Xia Nuannuan said hurriedly.

"Understood!"

Shen Siqi nodded and suggested, "I think you can also use 'darling.' You and Qin Tian have been dating for so long, and your relationship has reached that point, so it wouldn't be as abrupt as theirs."

"I... I tried, but I couldn't say it."

"Sigh, you, you're just too thin-skinned. If I had your looks and figure, and a boyfriend like Qin Tian, I'd definitely call him 'baby,' 'Onii-san,' 'Oppa,' and make him fall head over heels for me."

"What is all this?"

Xia Nuannuan was dumbfounded.

"'Onii-san' is an intimate address in Japanese, and 'Oppa' is Korean."

Lu Lei smiled and helped explain.

"I know."

Xia Nuannuan nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"If you know, just pick one. I think 'Onii-san' is the best; many boys like that style."

Shen Siqi winked.

"No, I can't say that either, and Brother Tian doesn't like anime, so it's not good."

Xia Nuannuan shook her head and rejected it.

"Then let's keep it simple and translate it directly. How about 'Brother'? You happen to be younger than Qin Tian, and many girls address their older boyfriends that way."

Lu Lei suggested with a smile.

"'Brother'..."

Xia Nuannuan was thoughtful.

She didn't feel that this address was that difficult.

"I think it's pretty good too."

Shen Siqi nodded in approval and said, "Qin Tian dotes on you so much, it really is like a childhood sweetheart brother from next door."

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan's beautiful eyes brightened slightly.
