Chapter 108 My greed for you is a bottomless pit

"My goodness, when I said I didn't think about this at the time, do you believe me?"

"I believe that if you could surprise me like this in a different season, I would definitely be very surprised."

Jiang Yiyu sighed: "I'm sorry, I didn't do it well again."

Seeing him lower his head in disappointment, Song Shengsheng quickly reached out and patted his shoulder: "But I'm still very happy now! Really! Twenty-four gifts, you must have taken a long time to choose!"

"It's okay, it didn't take too long."

"Don't be sad, I'm really happy because of you today! It was my first time riding a motorcycle, my first time feeling the cool breeze without restraint, my first time someone created a starry sky for me and let me touch my own stars, and my first time someone lovingly prepared twenty-four gifts for me. All of these were firsts."

"But you're still cold and tired, aren't you?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who made me born in winter?"

"It's a good thing you were born in winter."

"Um?"

Jiang Yiyu carried the cart onto the corridor leading to the front yard. In the darkness, Song Shengsheng couldn't see the expression on his face. She only heard him say seriously, "With you, I won't feel cold even if the wind and snow are strong."

"Why?"

"Because my heart is not big, it is filled with you. It is cold in winter, but it will be warm if I squeeze it in."

Song Shengsheng smiled but said nothing. She walked up the corridor and held out her hand to pull the cart with Jiang Yiyu. Jiang Yiyu glanced at her from the side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"Thinking about what you said."

"What?"

"It'll be warm if you squeeze in."

"Well, isn't that what it means literally? There's nothing to think about."

"You don't understand. I was wondering why I was still so cold even though my heart was filled with you. Now I understand. It turns out that just having you in my heart isn't enough. I need to hold you in my arms to feel warm on winter nights. Jiang Yiyu, what should I do? I always want to be a little more greedy for you, a little more. My greed for you is like a bottomless pit. No matter what I do, it can never be filled."
