The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

"Wait, wait, um, Shi Qianqiu, put me down first—ah."

He got beaten up again.

They still couldn't stop them.

Shi Qianqiu carried the things in from outside, and Chen Jingmo buried his face in his shoulder in despair, saying, "Actually, I bought these myself."

He asked in a low voice, "Could we not open it yet? I'm not ready."

Shi Qianqiu was puzzled. "You bought this, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"...I'm sorry to say."

"Why are you embarrassed to say it?"

"...I'm thin-skinned."

Shi Qianqiu quickly understood why Chen Jingmo was hesitant to speak. He put down his things, pulled the person who was tightly buried in the blanket out, and apologized for all his words and actions. Before he could even apologize, he heard Chen Jingmo ask, "Why were you angry just now?"

Shi Qianqiu pulled Chen Jingmo into her arms and hugged her tightly, "Because my sweetheart doesn't want me to be jealous."

Chen Jingmo said he didn't understand, and Shi Qianqiu explained, "I love you, so I get jealous. When you don't let me do that, it's like you're telling me not to like you anymore... This is the nature of every lover, and I don't want to be disliked by you."

"What do you mean by 'dislike'?" Chen Jingmo said that his behavior just now was to cover up the fact that he bought the things and that he didn't dislike them at all. Moreover, he regretted making Shi Qianqiu unhappy. Finally, he awkwardly continued to say that Shi Qianqiu seemed to be enjoying herself just now.

Shi Qianqiu suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.

Chen Jingmo took the opportunity to slip away to the bathroom, leaving behind the words, "Let's have meat dishes first tonight."

Previously, Chen Jingmo always said that she could wear a skirt for Shi Qianqiu to see, saying that there would be no difference if the lights were off. Today, she did wear a skirt, but the lights were off.

Shi Qianqiu disliked turning off the lights the most because she couldn't see Chen Jingmo's face, his expression, or his eyes.

"My baby is so pretty."

"Your waist is so slim."

"Did you eat too much at once? Let me rub your stomach, honey."

Wutong Town.

Lu Sui was having New Year's Eve dinner with Shen Qinghuai and the others, while the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV.

"Xiao Bao, eat some ribs." Liu Qiushui had learned many new dishes and wanted to cook them all for them. Now she also called Lu Sui "Xiao Bao" like Shen Qinghuai.

"Thank you, Mom."

"You're welcome, eat more."

Lu Sui nodded, picked up some food for Zhao Wenxiu, and then turned to ask Shen Qinghuai to wipe his mouth.

Suddenly, I heard a firework explode.

boom.

Lu Sui was startled, but then her eyes lit up and she looked at Shen Qinghuai eagerly. After hearing him say that fireworks could be set off here, she didn't even want to eat anymore.

Liu Qiushui smiled and said, "No rush, eat your fill before you go out."

Since she had said that, Lu Sui obediently sat there and ate.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Sui tugged at Shen Qinghuai's sleeve, "Fireworks."

Shen Qinghuai smiled and ruffled his hair, wanting to take him back to his room, but he wouldn't leave. He squatted down and tugged at Shen Qinghuai's shoelaces, saying, "Fireworks."

Shen Qinghuai picked up Lu Sui, kissed him on the cheek several times, and said with a smile, "Little Bao, didn't you notice there's an extra bag in the room?"

He placed it in the most conspicuous place.

Lu Sui shook his head. "No, what is it?"

Shen Qinghuai didn't keep them in suspense, "Some small fireworks, and sparklers."

"Fairy wand".

"It looks very nice, and it's relatively safe. Even if you stick it in the ground after lighting it, it won't go out."

"Really?" Lu Sui asked.

Shen Qinghuai mimicked his usual response, "Mhm."

When Lu Sui heard Shen Qinghuai mimicking him, he cupped his face and rubbed it against him vigorously, making himself dizzy from the rubbing and almost fainting from Shen Qinghuai's fragrance. He repeated, "Mmm."

He repeated, "Mhm."

Each voice was higher than the last.

Back in the room, Lu Sui squatted on the ground, examining the items in the bag, saying there were so many different kinds. Shen Qinghuai introduced them one by one, such as which one could fly, which one emitted smoke, and which one rotated.

Lu Sui tugged at Shen Qinghuai's hand, "Let's go, let's go."

"No rush, put on a mask first, these things will smell terrible when they're lit."

"It smells awful."

"right."

"Is it possible to get poisoned?"

"Inhaling small amounts may cause a sore throat and dry cough, while inhaling large amounts may cause difficulty breathing and palpitations. In short, it is better to wear a mask."

Lu Sui leaned over and asked Shen Qinghuai to put it on him.

The sparkler really doesn't go out even when stuck in the ground. Lu Sui was having so much fun that he took Shen Qinghuai outside to share it with the children. An hour later, Shen Qinghuai carried him home.

Lu Sui said, "Oh no, I think I've been poisoned."

Shen Qinghuai frowned and tilted his head. "Does your throat hurt?"

"No, my legs are sore."

He laughed, "That's because we've been walking for too long."

Are your legs sore?

"It's not sour."

After a while, Lu Sui was getting sleepy when Shen Qinghuai shook his shoulders to wake him up. He changed from carrying him on his back to holding him, and pulled open his coat to wrap Lu Sui up.

"Shen Qinghuai".

"Um?"

"Don't make me angry, or I'll put a fairy wand on your underwear."

"Is it really that ruthless?"

"Um!"

"Then I won't make Xiaobao angry, and Xiaobao will give me a kiss."

"mua".

"Good girl."

"Awoo."

"So cute."

Beijing.

apartment.

Chen Jingmo was still cursing Shi Qianqiu with "You motherfucker, you bastard, you scoundrel," endlessly cursing. Perhaps he was tired of cursing, because his voice got softer and softer. Or perhaps his throat hurt from wailing, because his voice sounded like he was crying. The little skirt was of poor quality, and two of them were ruined.

Eleven fifty-eight.

Shi Qianqiu held Chen Jingmo and fed him water.

11:59.

Chen Jingmo kissed Shi Qianqiu's fingertips, but suddenly froze when he thought of something. His ears turned red, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then released Shi Qianqiu's hand as if nothing had happened.

It's exactly twelve o'clock.

Chen Jingmo said, "Happy birthday. There's no cake, so I am the gift."

Don't ask why there's no cake.

Because in the end, the food is often very dirty, which is too wasteful.

When Chen Jingmo saw that Shi Qianqiu didn't react, his heart jumped into his throat with anxiety.

"I... I can't be your birthday present...? What should I do? Damn it, I shouldn't have checked your phone. It's finally your birthday, and I haven't even celebrated it properly for you yet—ugh."

Shi Qianqiu kissed him too fiercely.

It's fierce everywhere.

He said he liked this birthday present the most, and he loved Chen Jingmo the most. He was so happy that he did a lot of push-ups.

Chen Jingmo: ...Can't we just hug?

Forget it.

Happy birthday, Shi Qianqiu! May you be happy every year.

"My husband is happy now."

"Tsk, making a wish? You've already exceeded the time limit. Be serious."

"I don't need to make wishes, it's too abstract. My darling doesn't need to either. I can fulfill all your wishes."

"Then I want you to stop."

"Can."

"So obedient?"

"You can't disobey, you're in trouble."

"..."

Shi Qianqiu cradled Chen Jingmo's neck and pressed his forehead against his, "My darling, I love you."

"From now on, year after year..."

"Always by my side."

End of the full text.

Thank you to all the wives who have been following the story and sending little gifts! This book went from less than 10,000 readers to nearly 170,000 at its peak, and now it's down to just over 80,000. I'm probably the one with the biggest emotional swings, haha. It's quite hard to say goodbye. I don't know if my next book will have a premiere, or if the readership will continue to decline after it's finished. But writing any more would be too wordy. Today in the book is Lunar New Year's Eve, so the story ends here. May the coming year be filled with happiness! ♡

Thank you to all my lovely readers who have been following my updates! Mwah! ♡
