Nicole crawled over to her brother and held his little hands. She then dragged him out of her mother's
arms and pulled him closer to her.
But when she was about to play with him, Nicole accidentally plopped on Harry's ankle.
Drowsy, Harry woke up when he felt his aching ankle.
He looked at his cute daughter, who was now apologizing. "Daddy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." But she
didn't look sorry. She then softly pinched her brother's cheek.
... Harry looked at his daughter with a forced smile. Since he now had already woken up, he sat up in
bed, and said, "Come now. Daddy will get you washed."
When Lola woke up, she found that only she and her two cute babies were in the bedroom. The two
babies were stretching their legs.
Then Harry opened the door; he had just returned from Nicole's kindergarten.
"Honey, you're awake," said Harry. He gently kissed her red lips.
Lola looked at him, and asked, "Did you drive Nicole to school?" She was holding Sally in her arms and
smoothing out her clothes.
Harry sat down next to her and enjoyed the ordinary, but happy, moment.
When Lola was just about to go to the bathroom to wash herself, she suddenly turned around, and
asked, "Are you going to the office later?" Harry was playing with the babies, and so it seemed that he
wasn't.
"It's not a busy office day, and Joey can handle it. I have to take a day off from time to time." Harry was
dandling his daughter while speaking to Lola.
"A day off from time to time? Lately, you've been taking a lot of days off. Especially when I was in A
Country, when you there by plane. All right. We'll talk about it later," thought Lola. She then said, "Let's
go to the supermarket today." This was what she was really implying.
Harry watched her entering the bathroom and thought about her idea for a while; he had already
guessed what his stubborn wife was up to.
He picked up his phone and called the St. Deya Shopping Mall's boss. He lowered his voice on the
phone, and demanded, "Remove all the durian fruits from the shelves today..."
When Lola walked out of the bathroom, she found that there was no one left in the bedroom.
It was about 10 AM, and she had just started eating her breakfast.
After finishing her breakfast, Lola and Mrs. Du took the two babies and went to the supermarket.
At the St. Deya Shopping Mall
Harry parked the car in the parking lot while Lola looked at the shopping mall outside. She said, "Harry,
let's go to another mall."
"I remember I saw somewhere a nice coat that I wanted to buy for Nicole," she thought.
When he heard her, Harry's heart sank. He replied immediately, "Honey, this mall is more than OK.
Besides, we are here already, and it's also ours." Harry never cared about such trivialities, and he also
felt uncomfortable himself at what he had just said.
Lola cast a confused look at him, and said, "All right!"
"We can go to that other mall next time," she thought.
Harry got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took the baby stroller out of it.
He then put the babies in it. The good-looking couple with the cute twins in the baby stroller attracted a
lot of admiring glances.
When they entered the supermarket, Lola, as Harry expected, walked around the fruit aisle, seeming to
look for something. Harry sauntered after her, wheeling the baby stroller along.
He received a lot of admiring and envious looks from the crowd. They were whispering, "Look, baby
twins. They're so cute!"
"Yes, they are. Oh my god! It's a baby boy and a baby girl, right? The man wheeling the stroller is also
really handsome!"
"Ah! He looks like Harry Si!" Harry could be easily recognized even when his face was half covered by
sunglasses because of his astonishing good looks.
"Yes, that's Harry! Let's take a photo!"
...
Then, photos portraying the Si's going shopping together with their children were posted on Weibo.
And at that moment, Lola was anxiously looking at the fruit section, and she wondered, "Why are there
no unpeeled durians around? There are only peeled ones, in wraps."
She turned around and looked at Harry who was walking relaxed. She felt that something was wrong.
"It must've been Harry. He's capable of removing any goods from the shelves in any supermarket, or
even in any mall," thought Lola.
She then casually asked a salesman around, "Excuse me, do you have any unpeeled durian?"
The salesman glanced at the shelves, and replied, "Oh, the unpeeled durians were stored away by our
manager."
"Humph, I knew something was wrong!" she thought.
"Why?" She pretended to ask out of curiosity.
The salesman shook his head, and said, "I don't know. They were stored away early this morning."
"We can't decide on these things! We're just salesmen" he thought.
All right! Lola stopped asking him and walked away.
And Harry was pinched on the arm by Lola while he was lulling the babies.
He slightly gritted his teeth, and asked, "Honey, are you flirting with me in the supermarket now?"
"My wife is getting more and more wild," he thought.
"Flirting? You're overthinking!" thought Lola. She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him
coldly. She said, "Where are all the durians in the supermarket?"
Harry threw up his hands in the air and continued to wheel the stroller forward. He said, "Why don't you
ask the salesman?"
"I hope the manager removed all the durians with a proper explanation" hoped Harry.
"I've already asked. He said that it was an order coming straight from the manager. It has something to
do with you, right?" asked Lola.
"That stupid manager!" cursed Harry in his mind. He then put his arm around Lola's waist, and said,
"Honey, if you want to eat durians, we can buy some peeled ones."
Lola smiled and softly replied, "It's OK, Harry. I'll eat something else instead." Harry didn't realize that
there were things other than the durian fruits that he could kneel on, such as the crisp instant noodles.
Therefore, to Harry's surprise, as they were about to check out, Lola put a few bags of crisp instant
noodles in their shopping cart.
After lunch, Lola put the two babies in their room and lulled them to sleep.
She then went to the study and waited for Harry. He was answering a phone call.
"OK, yes, I know him. Tell him to wait for me in my office at eight tomorrow morning," spoke Harry in
the phone. Still speaking on the phone, he sat next to his wife on the sofa and held her hand.
And without any struggle whatsoever, Lola put on a false smile and waited for him to finish his call. He
continued, "I know that. I'll talk to him about all the details in person."
"OK, that's it. Send the questionnaire to my email." Finally he hung up the phone.
He then immediately kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Honey, it's nap time."
"Maybe we'll take a nap together," he thought.
