Chapter 49 Extra 1: Erotic Underwear

She hired professionals to renovate her newly purchased house in S City, and the style is different from the one in Beishi. The latter is cozy, while this one has a more upscale feel. Su Zhiluo likes both styles and turned the room with the best view into her studio, where she creates designs whenever inspiration strikes.

Having endured hardship before, she always dreamed of earning enough money to retire. Now that she's earned enough and their lives are becoming more stable, Su Zhiluo has begun to enjoy learning. This kind of learning isn't the rote memorization and cramming of knowledge into her brain; it's about learning what she likes, studying in the library, doing practice problems, taking courses, taking exams, and expanding her knowledge through movies, TV shows, and books.

Liu Chengxu wasn't so busy sometimes, but Su Zhiluo was still studying day and night. Su Zhiluo also made a few friends here, all of whom were in the design industry. They often went out to eat. In the meantime, she felt that people here loved sweets, so she enrolled in a baking class.

Originally, Liu Chengxu was so upset that Su Zhiluo didn't have much time to care about him or fuss over him. However, after Su Zhiluo learned baking, she would bake some cookies for him every day to take to the company. They were often rabbits, hearts, houses, puppies, flowers, and once even several "love" shapes.

She was overjoyed. Getting Su Zhiluo to say sweet words was harder than climbing to heaven, but she could do it one after another.

Sometimes, while eating cookies, Liu Chengxu would find words on them.

The tree was laden with cherry blossoms; spring confessed its love to the cherry tree, and so the other three seasons belonged to us—because you and I fell in love in spring.

As the setting sun's afterglow fades, I hope the clouds can transform into the last little bird, even a crow, to fly to your window and whisper just one sentence to you. My heart begins to yearn for you again.

Liu Chengxu texted her sister-in-law, deliberately asking, "Where did you copy that from?"

Su Zhiluo replied: 【It was my own idea.】

She wrote them all on a whim while working from home. She was embarrassed when asked about them, but Liu Chengxu said, "I knew it. They're so well-written. I thought you copied them from some poetry collection."

Thankfully, they were typing; if they were face-to-face, Liu Chengxu would have noticed that her ears were bright red.

Liu Chengxu sent a voice message saying, "Sister-in-law, write it for me next time, and put it on a separate card, otherwise I won't be able to bear eating the cookies."

Su Zhiluo: [Okay.]

Liu Chengxu: [I love you.]

Su Zhiluo pinched her ear, her fingers landing on the keyboard and slowly lifting them again, repeating this several times before she typed: 【I love you too.】

Liu Chengxu: [Wife.]

Su Zhi couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly switched pages, a wave of shame washing over her. She even went to get a glass of water. When she returned to the window, it displayed: [Slapping a dog's head.JPG]

After sending the emojis, Su Zhiluo continued working and called Chang Ruyin. Chang Ruyin also planned to come over to take a look, mainly to learn how to do self-media. She always felt that her own clothes were good no matter what, and the only difference between her and big brands was in marketing.

Su Zhiluo wasn't as eloquent as her, and even making a phone call was difficult for her, so she left that to Chang Ruyin.

Today, March 31st, she has important business to attend to and needs to go out.

She originally wanted to make the cake herself, but recently she saw a video and found that the custom-made cakes from cake shops were very beautiful. So Su Zhiluo designed a picture herself and went to a shop to have it made.

The Western restaurant she specially booked was more upscale and beautiful than the one they ate at the first time. She couldn't quite remember the taste of that meal back then, but it was the most delicious one in her memory. Several times, Liu Chengxu suggested going back to eat there again, but she refused. A wonderful taste should stay in your heart for a lifetime.

She waited quietly for Liu Chengxu to appear.

At six o'clock, Liu Chengxu saw her sister-in-law sitting by the window in the restaurant. She carefully walked over, holding flowers behind her back. Su Zhiluo was surprised and asked, "Why did you bring me flowers?"

Liu Chengxu said, "Because I also want you to feel involved."

"Thank you to my girlfriend for attending my birthday party."

It was a bouquet of sunflowers and white roses. When it was handed to Su Zhiluo, the ring on her finger glittered brightly among the flowers and leaves. Su Zhiluo accepted the flowers and also handed her the gift she had prepared—a new watch.

The watch on Liu Chengxu's wrist was the same one she bought for a few hundred yuan back in her school days. Now, the hands of the watch always move slowly, and no matter how many times she adjusts them, they always quietly slow down a few beats at some unexpected moment.

Liu Chengxu was still reluctant to change it. Su Zhiluo said that she was even more sentimental than herself. Liu Chengxu replied, "I'm not sentimental. It was a gift from you. It was a very expensive gift. You thought that I was growing up and should have a decent adult gift, so you bought it for me, right? How could I bear to change it?"

She glanced at the necklace around Su Zhi's neck again. "If I asked you to change it, would you be willing to?"

"No way." Su Zhiluo refused without thinking. She put the watch on Liu Chengxu's wrist. This one cost more than 30,000 yuan. She had a watch that cost 100,000 yuan, which she thought was more in line with Liu Chengxu's status and wanted to buy. But Liu Chengxu would definitely not be willing to spend the money. She bought this one because it was more meaningful. She transferred the remaining 70,000 yuan to Liu Chengxu for his own use.

"Do you like it? You can change the strap yourself later," Su Zhiluo said.

"I like it. The little white flowers inside look just like you." Liu Chengxu held up the new watch and kissed it. She always treated the gifts she received with great care, which made Su Zhiluo feel that she hadn't given her enough.

She took the cake, unwrapped it, lit the candles, and borrowed a lighter from a waiter at the restaurant. The cake read "May Liu Chengxu have peace, joy, and great wealth." She said, "Make a wish."

Liu Cheng said, "I wish Su Zhiluo would tell me 'I love you' a hundred times this month."

Su Zhiluo's eyes widened. "So many?"

Liu Chengxu countered, "Is that too much? I've already counted them all: one in the morning, one at noon, one in the afternoon, and sometimes one while having a late-night snack."

Su Zhiluo took out her phone, searched the chat box and showed it to her, "The 'I love you' messages you've told me, there are only this many, a total of 78."

"Then you'll say 78 things, and for the remaining 22, you'll call me wife, and I'll give you 8 days off a month, how about that?"

Su Zhiluo put down her phone. "Okay."

She quickly saw a triumphant smile on Liu Chengxu's face. Realizing she'd been tricked, Liu Chengxu raised an eyebrow, his hands still in the wishing gesture. "This is my birthday wish. You have to help me make it come true, okay? Love you, dear, Zhiluo-jie."

Outside, Su Zhiluo wasn't as shameless as her and tolerated it.

The two ate cake and Western food, enjoyed the scenery for a while, and passed by a pet hospital. They saw a sign at the entrance that said volunteers had rescued a group of kittens over the weekend and were looking for kind people to adopt them. Liu Chengxu and Su Zhilu stared at it for a while, then scanned the QR code to join the group and prepared to adopt one.

After their walk, the two went home. Liu Chengxu received a call from a friend who told her that the gifts for her had arrived and reminded her to sign for them.

Over the years, her friends have scattered to different cities, different industries, and different circles, but their friendship has never faded. When Liu Chengxu was struggling alone here before, she always felt lonely and even considered going back. Now that Su Zhiluo is by her side, she feels that anywhere is fine.

I mainly called Cha Baomei, who was wailing in anguish, "If only I had changed my name back then! I consulted a fortune teller, and he said I'm destined for a calamity. There's nothing I can do, really nothing. You know, that's my sister, my own sister..."

"Try to think more positively."

"How can you think so positively..." Her voice sounded very painful. Cha Baomei took a deep breath and said, "Never mind, happy birthday, and may you and your sister-in-law be happy."

"I know." After hanging up the phone, Liu Chengxu heard his sister-in-law say from the side, "She was infected too."

Liu Chengxu couldn't hold back his laughter. He put his arm around her waist and whispered a few words in her ear.

The cake she ordered wasn't finished, so Su Zhiluo put it back in the refrigerator. Liu Chengxu was unpacking her gifts in the living room. Su Zhiluo took her clothes into the bathroom and took a long shower, even using her newly bought fragrance. Afterward, she told Liu Chengxu to take a shower, saying she would clean up the rest.

Liu Chengxu went into the bathroom to tidy up, the lingering scent of tuberose still present in the air.

The scent was mature and rich, carrying an unfulfilled desire, seeping into her nostrils in wisps. In an instant, she seemed to return to those days of unrequited love, unable to resist greedily inhaling every fragrance deeply into her lungs.

She closed her eyes, letting herself immerse herself in this long-lost familiarity.

Liu Chengxu put on her nightgown and returned to her bedroom.

The orange light flowed over Su Zhiluo's skin, like melting honey.

Before Liu Chengxu could call her name, he saw Su Zhiluo lightly hook her fingertips and untie the belt around her waist.

The interior is a hollowed-out black, covered with full curves like butterfly wings. In the interplay of light and shadow, two faint crimson dots are revealed beneath those butterfly wings.

Su Zhiluo was originally sitting with her legs crossed, but as Liu Chengxu's gaze fell upon her, she slowly opened her long, fair legs. The design here was even more beautiful, and Liu Chengxu could clearly see the dangerous forest, which was only slightly concealed, revealing the vortex she was trying to explore.

At that moment, her throat went dry.

She was tempted; she really wanted to eat it and take a bite.

After Su Zhiluo showed it to her, she continued to cross her legs, as if it were a seasonal exclusive.

Liu Chengxu walked over, knelt down beside Su Zhiluo, and whispered, "I want to see more."

Liu Chengxu's hand rested on her knee, and Su Zhiluo whispered, "Then you have to moisten it."

Liu Chengxu lowered his head, his forehead brushing against her knee. She felt uncomfortable from the touch, but she nodded vigorously, "I will."

Su Zhiluo repeated, "Happy birthday, do you like it?"

I picked one from the comments section, one that my sister-in-law could make, so I wrote about it.
