Extra 4 Anniversary

"Director, I would like to ask for a few days' leave."

Zhou Cheng lingered at the door of the director's office for a long time before he mustered up the courage to knock on the door and go in. When he saw Li Yu, he smiled awkwardly and spoke directly.

"Okay. What's wrong? Something happened at home?" Li Yu was very surprised. From the day Zhou Cheng became his graduate student until now, in so many years, except for the sick leave due to the gunshot wound and the wedding leave a while ago, he had never taken a single leave.

"Well...some personal matters." Zhou Cheng was embarrassed and didn't want to explain in detail.

"Go ahead, it's okay, I'm in Cory."

Li Yu did not ask any further questions. Since Zhou Cheng became the deputy director, he had been relieved of a lot of worries in the department. It was a rare opportunity for Zhou Cheng to ask for leave, so he let him go immediately.

After Zhou Cheng returned to the doctor's office, he led his team to make rounds as planned. After the rounds, he went to the operating room to perform the operation. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he left the operating room. Finally, he had time to rest his iron stomach and iron bladder that he had trained long ago.

"I have to be away for a few days for something. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the laboratory and continue working on your project with Gu Yi. When you are free, you can also perform surgery with Director Li." Zhou Cheng arranged Chu Fan's tasks for the next few days during the meal break.

Chu Fan nodded in response and didn't ask any other questions.

"I'll be back on Monday."

"Yeah." Chu Fan thought Zhou Cheng would be gone for ten days or half a month after hearing his tone, but he didn't expect him to come back in four days.

At around 6 p.m., Yang Wuxi appeared in the office of the second general surgery doctor with great interest.

"Let's eat." He carried a few lunch boxes and came to Chu Fan, who was sitting in front of the computer and writing surgical records carefully.

"Wait a minute, I'll be done soon." Chu Fan didn't turn his head, still staring at the screen, his fingers tapping the keyboard quickly.

Yang Wuxi obediently came to the doctor's lounge, crossed his legs, rocked in the chair and hummed a song.

"...I have arranged everything here. It will be just in time for us to leave tomorrow." Zhou Cheng pushed open the door of the lounge while talking on the phone.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou." Yang Wuxi put the middle finger and index finger of his right hand together and raised them to his eyebrows and saluted Zhou Cheng in a casual manner.

"We'll talk about it when we meet later."

After Zhou Cheng hung up the phone, he nodded slightly to Yang Wuxi as a greeting, opened his closet and started changing clothes.

"Teacher Zhou, please be so kind as to reserve some time for a date between my wife and me." Yang Wuxi was still rocking his chair.

"Childish." Zhou Cheng changed his clothes quickly. He hadn't looked at him since he saw his unruly sitting posture when he entered the door.

"Look, you're already off work, but my wife still has to help you with your work."

Zhou Cheng didn't answer and prepared to open the door to go out.

"What a black-hearted boss." Yang Wuxi added as he looked at his back.

"Isn't Chu Fan annoyed by your talking so much?"

Zhou Cheng closed the door after he finished speaking, but he still heard Yang Wuxi say "My wife loves me" inside. His head was buzzing, and he didn't know how Su Qingyan usually tolerated him.

Seeing Zhou Cheng leave, Yang Wuxi began to get restless again and returned to the office, risking being scolded by Chu Fan.

"I see Zhou Cheng has left. Let's eat first?" He tiptoed to Chu Fan and said to him softly.

"Wait another 5 minutes and eat after you finish writing." Chu Fan frowned slightly.

"Okay, no rush, I'll go back and wait for you." Yang Wuxi received some danger signals and immediately escaped without bothering him anymore.

About ten minutes later, Chu Fan pushed open the door of the lounge.

"Eat your favorite soup dumplings while they're hot. I have some good news." Yang Wuxi stood up, opened the lunch box, and walked behind Chu Fan to massage his shoulders.

"What good news?" Chu Fan put his hand on the back of Yang Wuxi's hand and looked up at him.

"Su Qingyan has gone out for something, so I can accompany you for the next few days." Yang Wuxi looked at Chu Fan's smiling eyes and couldn't help but lower her head to kiss his forehead.

"Then they should go out together. Teacher Zhou has also asked for leave tomorrow." Chu Fan took Yang Wuxi's hand and asked him to sit next to him.

"That's great. Where shall we go to play?" Yang Wuxi was completely aroused. If Chu Fan hadn't held him back, he would have rushed out immediately.

"I'm not going anywhere. I still have to go to the lab."

"Is Zhou Cheng the reincarnation of Zhou Paopi? Why do you have to continue working while he goes out to play?" Yang Wuxi slammed the table and tried to stand up.

"Sit still." Chu Fan frowned again, his voice low.

Yang Wuxi immediately stopped attacking, he couldn't stand seeing Chu Fan angry.

When Zhou Cheng drove the car into the garage, he saw that the "mature and stable" Maybach that Su Qingyan had been driving recently had parked back. He knew that he had returned home before him, so he quickened his pace and walked into the elevator.

"You're back so soon?"

Su Qingyan's voice came from the bathroom a little far away, and the faint woody scent of the aromatherapy candles could be smelled.

"Have you eaten? Why are you taking a shower first?" Zhou Cheng took off his coat and walked into the bathroom.

"Wash and eat at the same time." Su Qingyan turned around and hooked her finger at Zhou Cheng.

The table above the bathtub has been set up, with steak and red wine on it. A few candles are lit to set the mood, and rose petals are scattered all over the bathtub.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Cheng looked at Su Qingyan in confusion as she took off her clothes one by one.

"You're so unromantic." Su Qingyan threw his shirt at Zhou Cheng's face.

"What if the red wine spills?" Zhou Cheng folded his clothes and put them aside.

"Then let's take a red wine bath." Su Qingyan tested the water temperature and stepped into the bathtub.

In fact, from the moment he saw Su Qingyan, Zhou Cheng's heart started beating wildly. The visual impact of a beautiful woman taking a bath was too great. He quickly took off his clothes and stepped in.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's rare eagerness, Su Qingyan suppressed his smile and said seriously:

"Sit across from me."

"Hmm?" Zhou Cheng didn't get to touch and kiss his beloved, but was turned away instead. Although he was puzzled, he obediently changed his route and sat opposite Su Qingyan.

"Let's eat first. I'm hungry." Su Qingyan took the knife and fork and started cutting the steak.

In the misty air, Su Qingyan seemed to be bathed in a layer of soft light. Zhou Cheng looked at his rosy lips and smooth skin. He had no interest in the steak in front of him. He picked up the red wine glass and twirled it in his hand for a long time before taking a sip.

"Have you eaten in the hospital?" Su Qingyan chewed a small piece of steak with puffy cheeks.

Zhou Cheng then withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly, and began to carefully cut the steak on his plate.

"What are you taking me to do tomorrow? It's so mysterious." Su Qingyan tapped Zhou Cheng's leg with her toes.

"Go out and relax. You've been so busy lately." Zhou Cheng appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, all kinds of pornographic garbage had already started playing in his mind in a loop.

He pushed the neatly cut steak in front of Su Qingyan and took the plate that Su Qingyan was eating.

"You have a steady hand, Doctor Zhou."

The corners of Su Qingyan's eyes turned up, and although he seemed to be eating properly, his feet never stopped moving.

"Aren't you hungry? Eat well." Zhou Cheng quickly cut the steak in front of him, put down the knife and fork, picked up the wine glass again, and took another sip.

After Su Qingyan had eaten most of the steak in front of him, Zhou Cheng grabbed his "evil" ankle and pushed away the table between them.

"Are you full? It's my turn to eat, right?" He leaned forward, and the aroma of wine instantly enveloped Su Qingyan.

Su Qingyan was in a very good mood today. It was a rare occasion that Zhou Cheng wanted to take her out to play. After hearing that he had already taken leave, she no longer had any thoughts about work and immediately arranged for the housekeeper to prepare a petal bath.

Now the double satisfaction of spirit and body made Su Qingyan drowsy. He lay on Zhou Cheng's chest, and the strong heartbeat turned into a hypnotic pendulum.

"Go to bed."

Zhou Cheng wanted to pick up Su Qingyan, but was resisted.

"Don't move, just lie down for a while."

Su Qingyan pushed Zhou Cheng into the bathtub again and turned on the hydrotherapy. Water splashes and bubbles rushed out of the water, pushing the petals to the corner.

Zhou Cheng had no choice but to continue soaking in the water, and had to adjust his posture from time to time to prevent Su Qingyan from choking on the water.

The phone vibrated slightly beside the bathtub. Zhou Cheng glanced down at Su Qingyan, who was still sleeping soundly, and slowly raised his hand to reach for the phone.

-Dr. Zhou, everything has been arranged. Can we leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning?

When Zhou Cheng saw that the message was from He Zhu, he replied with one hand: OK, thank you for your hard work.

"Who is it?"

Just as Zhou Cheng was about to put the phone back, he felt Su Qingyan in his arms rubbing his chest with his forehead and asked in a muffled voice.

"He Zhu, please help me with something." Zhou Cheng did not hide it.

"Hmm? He can still help you? That's great! Give him a raise." Su Qingyan stretched and changed his posture. "How long have I slept? Are your arms sore?"

"Not long." Zhou Cheng's arms were already sore, so he skipped his question.

After simply drying himself, Su Qingyan lay on the bed with his cell phone and transferred a big red envelope with the auspicious number 8888 to He Zhu.

-Mr. Su, what is this?

-You are a hidden talent. If you can help Zhou Cheng, there will be a reward.

He Zhu broke out in a cold sweat. The boss knew? The secret was exposed? How could he explain this to Dr. Zhou?

He didn't dare to accept Su Qingyan's red envelope, fearing that it was a trap set by his boss.

"Zhou Cheng! Come here quickly."

Su Qingyan didn't have time to think about He Zhu's psychological activities. Seeing that Zhou Cheng was late, he turned around and shouted loudly at the door.

Zhou Cheng cleaned up the bathroom roughly before walking back to the bedroom.

"You always clean up so neatly that others will think we live a simple life."

Su Qingyan hooked her finger at him.

Ever since they started living together, Su Qingyan noticed that Zhou Cheng would always take the trouble to clean the "battlefield" himself. She had told him many times that the cleaning lady would come to clean it up, but he still did it. Finally, after Zhou Cheng said to Su Qingyan with a stern face, "You have no shame," Su Qingyan ignored him.

Who would have known that this tradition has been going on for almost 3 years and is still going on.

"Why should others tell me whether it's vegetarian or not?" Zhou Cheng walked to the bed and patted his butt lightly.

"Would you like a snack?" Su Qingyan put her arms around his neck and pulled him onto the bed.

The next morning, Zhou Cheng thought he would have to spend a lot of time waking up Su Qingyan, but he didn't expect that he was already staring at him with bright eyes.

"Your eyes were moving just now. Were you dreaming?" Su Qingyan tapped Zhou Cheng's eyelids with her fingertips.

"I don't remember." Zhou Cheng glanced at the time, then turned over and got out of bed. "Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Doctor Zhou wants to take me out to play. I'm so excited." Su Qingyan also followed him out of bed.

When Zhou Cheng heard him say this, the already heavy pressure on him became even greater.

Seeing his slightly furrowed brows, Su Qingyan added, "As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy wherever I go."

After the two of them packed up, they went downstairs and got into the business car that had been waiting for a long time.

The car drove quickly and steadily towards the airport, and Su Qingyan fell drowsy on the way.

After boarding the plane in a daze, he curled up in his seat and fell asleep.

Zhou Cheng was also familiar with the captain and crew members. After nodding to the captain, the plane took off soon.

The journey of more than two hours was not long. After the plane landed, Su Qingyan shuddered as he looked at the snow scene outside the window.

"You're not wearing enough."

"Don't worry, you won't be cold." Zhou Cheng unbuckled his seat belt and took the thick coat from the flight attendant.

In fact, upon seeing the clear blue sky, a characteristic of northern winter, Su Qingyan's heart chilled along with the air. He hated winter to begin with, and had assumed Zhou Cheng would take him to the southern hemisphere to enjoy the summer sun. But since they'd agreed before departure that they'd be happy wherever they went, he forced himself to suppress the negative emotions that had just surfaced.

Su Qingyan sat in the car and felt that the scenery outside was becoming more and more familiar. After taking out his mobile phone to locate the location, he looked at Zhou Cheng.

"You want to take me to the ski slopes?"

Zhou Cheng nodded.

"You know I'm terrible at skiing..."

Zhou Cheng nodded again.

"whispering sound……"

Boring guy.

Although this resort is one of the Su family's many industries, Su Qingyan has not been here many times because of the cold weather.

After receiving instructions from He Zhu, the person in charge immediately began to make arrangements, fearing that there would be any mistakes.

After the car carrying Su Qingyan entered the ski resort, the person in charge personally greeted them at the car and took them to the VIP lounge.

"It's rare for President Su to visit us."

Su Qingyan nodded but didn't answer.

"We'll go there ourselves later, you go ahead and do your work." Seeing that the person in charge was a little embarrassed, Zhou Cheng answered for Su Qingyan.

After everyone else left, Zhou Cheng pinched Su Qingyan's chin and said, "Your little emotion is all over your face."

"No petty emotions." Su Qingyan said, then opened her mouth and bit Zhou Cheng's finger.

"Come on, Mr. Su, I'll take you to inspect the work."

After Zhou Cheng and Su Qingyan changed into their ski clothes, they walked out of the lounge side by side and headed to the ski resort.

During the entire trip, Su Qingyan felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Was it because the ski resort was constantly playing romantic love songs? Why were there pink bubbles everywhere?

"Is today some kind of festival? Why are there only roses?"

It was not until Su Qingyan saw that the ice walls on both sides of the road were filled with bright red roses, forming two rows of spectacular flower walls in the winter, that he stopped and asked Zhou Cheng.

"Well...it is indeed a festival." Zhou Cheng pursed his lips and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Su Qingyan searched quickly in her mind. It wasn't Valentine's Day, it wasn't a birthday, it wasn't a confession day, it wasn't a proposal anniversary, it wasn't a wedding anniversary. Could it be that Zhou Cheng was counting 100-day or 1,000-day anniversaries? He hadn't even counted them himself... So what day was it?

"Then...what festival is it?" Su Qingyan asked cautiously, fearing that she had missed some important day and made Zhou Cheng unhappy.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything else, but walked through the noisy crowd of tourists and took him to the relatively quiet advanced track.

"Wait, Zhou Cheng, it can't be——"

When I revisited the old place, memories from long ago suddenly flooded into my mind.

“We met here three years ago.”

Zhou Cheng is usually very boring and doesn't understand romance, so he couldn't say anything sentimental at this time. He originally wanted to say "I'm so happy to know you, baby", but he felt it was too corny and couldn't say it at all.

"I just bumped into you." Su Qingyan took a running start and jumped into Zhou Cheng's arms, "and then punched here." As he said that, he kissed Zhou Cheng hard on the left cheek.

Zhou Cheng hugged Su Qingyan steadily and looked into his smiling and slightly moist eyes.

"You can even remember a day like this? You're quite impressed with me, Xiao Zhou."

"I checked my ticket purchase records for that year, and I remember buying a high-speed rail ticket home that day—"

"Stop, stop, stop. Can't you just say that you remembered it with your brain?" Su Qingyan interrupted his speech which was gradually going off track.

"You can't lie to me."

"Okay, okay, good boy, I won't lie." Su Qingyan kept hanging on Zhou Cheng like a koala, "Hold me and go skiing."

Zhou Cheng immediately obeyed the order and slid several times with Su Qingyan in various positions.

Amidst the noisy crowd, Su Qingyan heard the roar of a tiger from afar. The familiar sound made him wonder if he was hallucinating.

"Did you hear that?" Su Qingyan was being held down by Princess Zhou Cheng, so she hugged his neck tightly to ask him to stop.

"Go meet your good friend?" Zhou Cheng put Su Qingyan down after stopping.

"No way? Are you serious?"

Su Qingyan was shocked for the second time today.

The shuttle bus had already stopped next to the snow slope. Su Qingyan got on it first and anxiously asked the driver to leave quickly.

He hadn't seen Jiujiu for a long time. The few times he visited him, he just touched its head through the cage.

There is a small zoo next to the ski resort, which usually has a few herbivores like alpacas to interact with tourists. It was cleared out early today.

An adult Siberian tiger was lying in an iron cage, licking its paws boredly. When it heard a car coming, it pricked up its ears alertly.

"Chirp!" Su Qingyan shouted at the tiger from a distance.

The tiger stood up and let out a terrifying roar.

After the shuttle bus dropped them off, it left the zoo without looking back as if it was running for its life.

"How did you convince my dad to bring it here?" Su Qingyan held Zhou Cheng's face and kissed him several times.

"Use data to make your point." Zhou Cheng handed the key to Su Qingyan.

"Brother, you are so awesome." Su Qingyan took the key and opened the iron cage.

Jiujiu finally escaped from the narrow cage, stretched, rolled a few times in the snow, and then ran around them.

"Do you like it here?" Su Qingyan rubbed Jiujiu's head.

Jiujiu responded with a low growl.

"It originally belonged here." Zhou Cheng saw that Jiujiu's aura was so strong that she seemed to have become the master of this place.

"You have to thank Brother Zhou Cheng. It's because of him that you can have this vacation." Su Qingyan said as he rode on Jiujiu's back. "Take me for a few laps. How long has it been since you took me for a run?"

"Be careful." Zhou Cheng warned with some concern.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Jiujiu knows more than I do." Su Qingyan lay on the tiger's back and instructed Zhou Cheng, "Quickly take a picture of my dashing and heroic appearance."

Mr. Su’s circle of friends exploded again.

Mr. Su either doesn’t update his Moments at all, or when he does, it’s like an atomic bomb going off.

"Lao Su didn't even scold me, he even gave me a thumbs up."

Su Qingyan was lying on a beach chair wearing sunglasses, refreshing his circle of friends while muttering to Zhou Cheng.

"Lu Ze praised your photography skills and said you have a really big face. And what about 'approval from an artist'? Tsk."

Zhou Cheng knew that Su Qingyan didn't like such a cold climate, so after their third anniversary of acquaintance, he flew him to a tropical private island overnight to enjoy the sea breeze.

The hotel suite was filled with roses, with a large bunch placed on the bed and a velvet box in the middle of the roses.

Su Qingyan laughed when she saw it, and asked Zhou Cheng why her taste had been downgraded.

He opened the box and inside was a silver chain with a small bell.

Su Qingyan raised his eyebrows.

Su Qingyan brought the rose to the beach, and the little bell on her ankle rang all the way.

"Doctor Zhou, do you have any other arrangements?" Su Qingyan picked up a rose from the bouquet on the beach and played with it in her hand.

"What are your plans?" Zhou Cheng turned his head and looked at him.

"Then follow my instructions." Su Qingyan leaned close to Zhou Cheng's ear and whispered, "How about we try a battle for three days and three nights?"

Velvety soft rose petals touched Zhou Cheng's lips, and then replaced them with softer lips.
