It took Sui Yi nearly ten years to complete this mission. Because Qin Xiao loved her so much, she always felt there was an ulterior motive behind everything he did. Sui Yi thought that since Qin Xiao loved her so much, he would definitely fulfill her requests. But Qin Xiao didn't; instead, he had a sense of crisis, as if doing so would lead to some kind of disaster. The mission was finally completed when Qin Xiao was thirty-six years old. And as soon as it was finished, Sui Yi ran away. She couldn't bear to be with a fool like him, watching him act so ridiculously.

Suiyi had a good idea for the task. Since this year happened to be Qin Xiao's birth year (according to the Chinese zodiac), Suiyi researched online and found that in traditional Han Chinese customs, one's birth year is often considered an unlucky year. The folk rhyme, "Offending Tai Sui in one's birth year, Tai Sui sits on one's head, misfortune is sure to follow," best illustrates the inauspicious nature of one's birth year. During their birth year, in northern China, adults and children alike wear red waistbands, a custom known as "tying red," and children also wear red vests and red underwear, believing this will ward off evil and bring good fortune. Therefore, Suiyi planned to give Qin Xiao a pair of red underwear.

The day before Qin Xiao's thirty-sixth birthday, Sui Yi went to the largest shopping mall and browsed the men's clothing section.

"Welcome, miss. What would you like to do for me?" The sales assistant noticed that Sui Yi was well-dressed and had a good temperament, so she went over to ask.

"Could you take me to your men's clothing section? I'd like to buy something for my husband."

"Okay, please follow me." After saying that, the sales assistant led Suiyi to the men's clothing section.

What kind of clothes would you like to buy for your husband?

"Well, I'd like to help my husband choose a pair of pants to wear underneath." Sui Yi was really embarrassed to say the word "underwear" out loud.

"Haha! Madam is so humorous. This way."

The two arrived at the underwear section, where the sales assistant introduced the item to Suiyi: "This is our latest product. The fabric used is of excellent quality and feels great to the touch. You might want to take a look at this one, ma'am."

Suiyi doesn't really know much about buying these kinds of things; she just cares if the quality feels good.

"Do you have any other colors for this style? Like red?" Sui Yi asked somewhat awkwardly, which drew a strange look from the sales assistant. It turned out that her husband was the flamboyant type and had a penchant for wearing red.

"Uh, well, don't overthink it. It's just that this year is my husband's zodiac year, and I heard that wearing red during your zodiac year brings good luck, so I thought I'd buy some to try it out."

"Heh! I didn't expect my wife to believe in such things?"

"As you know, there are still many things that science can't explain clearly. I'm just doing this as a precaution."

"It seems this one doesn't come in red. You can check out another one; the quality is about the same."

"No need to look, just give me a red one."

"Okay! I'll find you one. Does your wife know what size your husband wears?"

Sui Yi's face suddenly turned red. She stammered, "You, you can just take the largest size."

Her words earned her a meaningful look from the sales assistant.

Sui Yi: "Why are these women's thoughts so improper these days?"

The system teased, "Tch, Master, you've been a married woman several times already, why are you still so hung up on it? Your face is as red as a ripe apple. You should be used to this by now!"

"Get lost!" Sui Yi really wanted to beat the system to death.

"Madam, Madam?" came the voice of the sales assistant.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Suiyi looked over.

"I've found it for you, would you like it?"

"Okay, thank you! Please help me pack it up."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After saying that, the sales assistant went to find a packaging bag to pack Suiyi's order.

After finishing, Suiyi took it to the counter to pay, and then left. Leaving the mall, Suiyi wiped away her sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, I'll never do something like this again! It's so shameless, it's really embarrassing."

After Suiyi returned home, Qin Xiao had not yet come back. After hiding the things, Suiyi called Qin Xiao.

At this moment, Qin Xiao was in his office processing documents, hoping to finish them so he could take a week off to spend time with his wife and enjoy some alone time together. Just then, Sui Yi called, and Qin Xiao picked up his phone to answer.

"Wife, what's wrong?" His gentle eyes softened the years and warmed my heart.

"Honey, what are your plans for tomorrow, when you give birth?"

"I'd like to go out and have some fun just the two of us, is that okay?" Qin Xiao asked gently and considerately.

"Okay! How long will it take?"

"One week."

"Okay, I'm going to pack my bags now, bye!" Suiyi said and hung up the phone. Haha! This is truly a stroke of luck.

"Master, what do you plan to do after completing the mission?"

"Me? Of course I left! I've been here long enough!"

"Don't you feel any pain at all? You could have stayed in this world forever."

"I've realized I don't love him. There's no need to waste time." Sui Yi said expressionlessly. Besides, what she liked was freedom, and someone's possessiveness was too strong; it wasn't suitable for her.

"Let's have a minute's silence for Qin Xiao," the system said sarcastically.

The next day, Suiyi and Qin Xiao packed their luggage and went to stay for a week in the small town where they had spent their honeymoon. The place they stayed was later developed by Qin Xiao to commemorate his relationship with Tao'er.

On Qin Xiao's birthday, the two went out and had a blast all day. In the evening, Sui Yi bought a cake and cooked a delicious meal. They found a bottle of red wine and sat down at the table to eat and chat. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and cozy.
