Qin Zhiluo nodded and handed him the mirror.

Qin Zhiluo skillfully performed acupuncture on herself.

Long Yanli frowned. The baby hadn't had any ointment applied, and his face was expressionless. "Baby, let me apply the ointment for you..."

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Qin Zhiluo put down the needle in her hand.

His fingertips glided across her skin, smooth and delicate. His left hand gently rested on her collarbone, leaving a faint red mark when he removed it, which inexplicably reminded him of the shape of a hickey.

Qin Zhiluo looked at his fixed gaze, snapped her fingers in front of him, and said, "Brother, I can do it myself. There's a gift I prepared for you on the bed."

Long Yanli smiled, realizing he was about to lose control, and ruffled her hair.

Long Yanli lifted the quilt, revealing 30 boxes inside.

Long Yanli looked at the little girl in surprise; she had prepared so much!

Long Yanli noticed words on the boxes and carefully arranged them in order. The first one was the year he was born.

Wow, what an adorable and handsome baby dragon! Here's a lucky charm for you, wishing you a lifetime of peace and good fortune!

Happy first birthday, baby dragon! Have you learned to walk yet? Have you fallen or stumbled? It's okay, baby dragon is a little man, these little difficulties won't defeat you!

Happy birthday, little dragon! You're two years old now, aren't you? You've made progress again in the new year!

Happy third birthday, little dragon! Let me think... do you still wet the bed? Tell me loudly, and I won't laugh at you!

Happy fourth birthday! Congratulations on starting school, little dragon! Have you made any good friends yet? Even if you already have friends, you still have to save a spot for me, because I'm being born next year!

Happy fifth birthday, little dragon! I'm your girlfriend whom you haven't met yet, so remember to find me!

...

...

Congratulations on turning 18, baby dragon! Happy 18th birthday! Take charge of your own life and be happy every day! (Although you're an adult now, dating is not allowed. Your future girlfriend, who is me, will be angry!)

...

...

Long Yanli's eyes welled up with tears, and he continued dismantling the project until this year.

Happy birthday, brother. I think I'm right here with you. If you're too touched, come and give me a kiss. (If there are too many people around, we'll have to go somewhere else.)

Long Yanli grabbed Qin Zhiluo and kissed her. His tongue pried open her lips, like the wind before a storm bringing in the tide.

Her fingertips gripped the hem of his shirt tightly, their kiss mingling with the nasal sounds escaping his throat. His thumb rubbed against the corner of her lips, the force almost uncontrollably urgent.

Qin Zhilu responded passionately, "Brother, I love you!"

Long Yanli's gaze lingered on her lips, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face. He reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair. "Baby, I love you!"

Qin Zhilu smiled, the tattoo just finished, "Brother, there are still a few gifts left to unwrap!"

Long Yanli straightened her clothes and placed them on his lap, then opened the gift. "Is it a photo album?"

Qin Zhiluo nodded, "Grandma helped with that too, there are photos of you when you were little!"

Long Yansheng saw Qin Zhiluo holding a photo of him with his bare bottom and tried to snatch it, saying, "Baby, this was an accident... I wasn't naked..."

Qin Zhilu smiled. "Brother, I've seen all the photos inside!"

Long Yanli kissed the little girl, tossed the photo album behind him, and said, "Baby, let's open other gifts!"
