After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin Nian pulled the man to sit on the soft couch, her fingertips tracing his face, her eyes filled with heartache. "Why aren't you making a sound? Does it hurt...?"

With the little beauty's ticklish touch, it would be strange if it hurt.

Yin Cheng said, "It hurts."

He pressed his advantage, moving his face closer. "Want me to blow on it?"

Lin Nian obediently cupped the man's face and blew on it, asking, "Are you really not hurt?"

His voice was soft and gentle, like a sticky little sugar cake, but at this moment it was filled with sobs and grievances.

"My clothes are covered in blood..."

"It belongs to someone else," Yin Cheng comforted her. "Don't worry."

Lin Nian sobbed twice, "Don't lie to me."

"How about I demonstrate a series of backflips now?"

Seeing his eager expression, Lin Nian quickly stopped him, "Don't be silly."

Yin Cheng said, "I originally wanted to go back to the manor and clean it up before coming to find you, but I missed you so much and wanted to see you."

"I...I miss you too..." Lin Nian said softly.

The beauty, fresh from her bath, still had wet hair; her waist-length black hair was draped messily behind her, and she exuded a faint floral fragrance.

—It was the effect of those petals in the pool.

The candlelight is just right, and the beauty is just right.

Yin Cheng's mind was in turmoil.

How much do you want to?

Lin Nian blushed and remained silent.

Yin Cheng pulled the handsome young man into his arms and used his inner strength to dry his hair. "Are you sleepy?"

The pretty girl shook her head. She had been feeling quite tired, but the sight of the man had instantly energized her.

But I can't tell him that.

Lin Nian thought to herself.

"There's a fireworks display tonight, do you want to go see it?" Yin Cheng asked. "The lantern festival is also very lively."

Lin Nian was about to nod, but then seemed hesitant and said, "It's already very late..."

If they didn't say they didn't want to go, then they must want to go.

Yin Cheng kissed the little beauty, "Change your clothes and wait for me."

The little beauty, her face flushed, happily went to change her clothes.

Xiao Fu and Hua Yue pressed their faces against the wall in the outer room. "Hua Yue, listen carefully, what's going on?"

Hua Yue said, "The prince has come, the prince has left."

Xiao Fu said, "That's it?"

Hua Yue said, "They want to go out and play, saying they want to see the fireworks display."

"I want to go too," Xiao Fu said, "but the young master definitely won't take us."

Hua Yue pulled the blanket over them and said, "Sleep well, you'll dream about it."

After washing off the smell of blood, Yin Cheng changed into his usual black outfit. Before he even entered Lin Nian's courtyard, Lin's eldest brother was already waiting for him with a heavy sword.

The eldest brother of the Lin family sneered, "Northern War God? Ha, I think he's just a treacherous opportunist."

Yin Cheng shamelessly replied, "Brother, you flatter me."

"...I wasn't praising you."

"You flattered me, calling me the God of War of the North," Yin Cheng said. "I'm not talking anymore, or Niannian will cry if she can't see me."

He paused, then added, "My brother understands, right?"

The eldest brother of the Lin family gritted his teeth in hatred, "If it weren't for Nian-ge'er liking you, I would have killed you."

Yin Cheng said smugly, "See you later, brother."

The eldest brother of the Lin family was so angry that he spun around in circles, trying to think of something to do, only to find that the closest thing to him was his youngest brother's courtyard wall.

"……"never mind.

Lin's eldest brother gritted his teeth and went back to his own yard.

Yin Cheng climbed over the wall into the courtyard and knocked on the door.

"Nian Nian".

Lin Nian opened the door with a delighted expression. "You're here!"

He wore a light green plain robe, without any patterns or embroidery, simple yet elegant and understated.

Her jet-black hair was tied up with a matching jade hairpin, simple yet elegant.

--"Bang."

Fireworks burst into beautiful light on the horizon, disappearing in an instant in the moonlit night.

The fireworks display has begun.

Lin Nian had already gained experience from the man's light-footed skills, so he obediently raised his hand to hug the man's neck, "Okay."

Yin Cheng put his arm around the little beauty's waist and jumped onto the wall, quickly disappearing into the night.

The most bustling place in Beijing is Sifang Street. During festivals, opera troupes often set up stages here to perform.

Yin Cheng carried Lin Nian to a deserted alley, and only let go of him when no one was around, instead taking his hand instead.

He pulled the pretty girl away from the alley and disappeared into the crowd.

"The timing is perfect," Yin Cheng said. "Niannian, look, fireworks."

Lin Nian looked up at the dazzling fireworks exploding in the sky, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

He ended up spending the Qixi Festival with a man.

Yin Chengxuan's chosen location was on higher ground, and it was half of a city wall left over from countless dynasties.

Over the years, the capital city has expanded significantly, and this half of the city wall has transformed from a barrier against foreign enemies into a small street where vendors gather to sell food.

This spot is a bit far from where the fireworks are being set off, offering an excellent view, and you don't have to worry about sparks falling on your face.

Lin Nian said, "It's a pity there are no grapevines. Legend has it that you can see the Magpie Bridge under grapevines."

Yin Cheng said, "That's not difficult at all. We can just plant one in the future."

Lin Nian's mind started working. "But I want to do more than just plant grapevines."

Yin Cheng leaned against the wall, with the lights of thousands of homes behind him.

His face remained unruly, and his eyes always carried a roguish, irresponsible air.

"Whatever you say we should plant, that's what we'll plant from now on."

Lin Nian thought for a moment and said, "Then I want a loquat tree."

"I grant your request."

"Pomegranate tree."

"I grant your request."

"I also want a small pond, not too big, to plant some lotus flowers. There don't need to be too many lotus flowers, just a few scattered ones will be enough."

Yin Cheng still replied, "I grant your request."

"I haven't thought about the rest yet," Lin Nian said. "I'll tell you when I've thought it through, okay?"

Yin Cheng said, "Our Lord Wang is also strange. He doesn't want any valuable things, such as gold, silver, jewelry, shops, estates, silks, or satins."

"I specifically want water from fruit trees and ponds."

"So easy to raise."

Lin Nian's eyes crinkled into a smile; he could never help but smile in front of men.

"Yes, I'm very easy to take care of," Lin Nian said. "I don't eat much either."

"This won't do," Yin Cheng quickly said. "You need to eat more; being too thin will make you sick."

Lin Niancai didn't care about any of that; "Looking good is the most important thing."

"Baby, you're already beautiful enough," Yin Cheng said.

Lin Nian pouted, "I've gained weight recently, and I can barely fit into my old clothes anymore."

Yin Cheng measured the little beauty's waist with his hand and said expressionlessly, "Yes, you've gained weight."

Lin Nian felt a pang of panic when she saw the man suddenly lose his expression.

He just said it casually; he's maintained a great physique all these years...

Even though the man often bought him snacks, he didn't dare to eat them freely, and most of them ended up in Xiao Fu and Hua Yue's stomachs.

He actually gained weight?!

I'm going to lose weight. I'll start losing weight as soon as I get back.

The wedding is just around the corner, and if my new husband is fat, how unsightly will that be...?

Lin Nian's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. On one hand, she felt insecure about her figure, and on the other hand, she felt a little sad.

She clearly said she'd love him no matter what he looked like, but now that she sees he's gained weight, she doesn't even smile anymore...

Yin Cheng said, "It looks awful."

Lin Nian pursed her lips, her nose tingled with emotion upon hearing these words, and she almost burst into tears.

Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy! You promised you wouldn't mind him!
