Kang Chen quickly said, "Which young girl still wears knitted sweaters these days? They all like to wear the ones they buy, they're prettier. I'm a man, I don't fuss over those things."
Ming Mei stopped and looked at Kang Chen with a half-smile.
Kang Chen touched his nose, feeling a bit exposed under Ming Mei's gaze.
Finally, Kang Chen said softly, "Okay... I want it."
Ming Mei raised her chin, "Just say it if you want something. If you beat around the bush with me, I won't pay attention to you."
Kang Chen sighed, "Next time, I'll say it directly..."
The old man saw the young couple getting along well, it made him happy, so he said to them, "Come eat now, this boy, ever since he was little, the more he wanted something, the less likely he was to say it."
Ming Mei nodded, "Dad, you're spot on. This kind of behavior is... reserved."
Kang Chen helped Ming Mei to sit down and whispered in her ear, "Wife, give your husband a little dignity."
