Ni Sitian paid the price of a sore back and weak legs, but she finally managed to perfectly hide the box of chocolates.

The next day, she was preoccupied with what time would be the best to give him/her a Valentine's Day gift.

Originally, she had imagined that Xu Tingchuan would invite her to a romantic candlelight dinner or something.

But Xu Tingchuan remained in his study until the afternoon, and he didn't mention anything about how he planned to spend Valentine's Day.

She couldn't contain herself any longer and took a cup of tea to knock on the study door.

Pushing open the door, she saw Xu Tingchuan fiddling with an astronomical telescope. She walked in, put the tea on the table, and looked at him curiously, "Why did you suddenly bring out this big thing?"

After setting up the binoculars, Xu Tingchuan glanced at Ni Sitian with a faint smile but did not answer.

Ni Sitian wasn't very interested, and the topic immediately shifted to today's holiday.

"Uh, today is Valentine's Day?" Xu Tingchuan seemed to realize something upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Ni Sitian felt a little disappointed. It turned out that only she had put in the effort to prepare, and he had no idea that today was Valentine's Day.

Thinking about the chocolates she had spent hours making in the refrigerator made her feel even worse.

She ignored him and turned away.

Xu Tingchuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, smiling gently: "Silly girl, how could I not know that today is Valentine's Day?"

Ni Sitian looked up happily, only to realize that it was just a joke to tease her.

"It'll be packed outside right now, so why don't we stay home?" Xu Tingchuan put one arm around Ni Sitian's waist and smoothed her hair with the other. "I'll make you dinner."

“Mmm.” Ni Sitian didn’t really care where she spent the time or what she ate; the most important thing was that she spent time with him.

This is their first Valentine's Day, and all he needs is for him to be by her side.

In the afternoon, the two went to buy groceries.

Xu Tingchuan was busy in the kitchen when Ni Sitian quietly took out the chocolate.

Just after I put it down, the doorbell rang.

Who would come to the door at this time?

With this question in mind, Ni Sitian went over and opened the door, only to have a large bouquet of roses shoved into her arms.

The florist smiled at Ni Sitian and took out paper and pen. "Mrs. Xu, please sign for this."

Ni Sitian, holding the flowers, quickly signed the papers, a smile playing on her lips, and turned to go back inside.

"Why waste this money?" she said with a smile, holding the whole bouquet of roses.

Xu Tingchuan turned around and saw her holding the flowers, looking overjoyed. He couldn't help but smile and said, "If you're happy, how can this be a waste?"

Ni Sitian walked in, tiptoed and kissed Xu Tingchuan on the cheek, then smiled and said with narrowed eyes, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your Valentine's Day gift."

"What kind of Valentine's Day gift is this? It's just an appetizer at best," Xu Tingchuan thought to himself, but he didn't say it aloud. He simply said, "Find a bottle and put it in there."

"Mmm," Ni Sitian responded, walking lightly out of the kitchen, humming a song happily.

She found a crystal bottle, poured in some water, and inserted the flower stems one by one. The delicate roses bloomed beautifully.

She placed it next to the table and then took out the scented candles that Xiang Zhilan had given her before and arranged them accordingly.

Seeing that Xu Tingchuan was still busy, she went to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, took out the thin lace underwear from the drawer, hesitated shyly for a while, and finally decided to change into it.

He had mentioned before that he wanted to see her wear it, so he should really like it, right?
