"Ah, I'm finally home!"
Gu Yueji lay on her sofa at home. After being away for half a month, she realized that although she was happy to travel, nowhere was as comfortable as her own home.
Ren Jin followed behind carrying two suitcases. After hearing Gu Yueji's sigh, he curled his lips, dropped the suitcases, lay down on the sofa, and pulled her into his arms.
Gu Yueji shifted slightly, finding a comfortable position in his arms.
"I think it's more comfortable at home, what do you think?"
Ren Jin hummed in agreement and leaned down to kiss the top of her head.
Watching her stretch lazily on the sofa like a cat gave him his first concrete impression of home.
He used to have a small room at his grandparents' house. Every day, his grandparents would go out to work in the fields from dawn till dusk, and he would wander around outside all day, showing no attachment or longing for home. Later, the house was demolished, and the small room was gone. He bought a show flat, which was fully furnished and decorated in a standardized way. He didn't have to lift a finger, and it didn't make him feel like he was at home.
So over the years, whether at his grandparents' house, in a rented room, on a construction site, in a hotel, or back home, it seems like it's all the same. He's always alone, and the place he spends the most time is his bed at night. Therefore, he has never had any special impression or feelings about home.
Until he married Gu Yueji, they decorated and furnished every part of their home little by little. From the color of the floor tiles to the placement of the bed, everything was decided together by the two of them. They gradually built this unique home that belonged to the two of them.
Their presence is felt in every corner of this home. They come home together, cook together, eat together, watch TV together, do housework together, and sleep together. Everywhere you look, there are beautiful memories.
Therefore, his understanding of home is not merely about being familiar with everything in the house, but about having everything in it imbued with their emotions.
Amidst the myriad lights outside the window, he finally found his own.
Gu Yueji saw that Ren Jin had quieted down after giving an "Mmm," so she turned her head to look at him. He had his eyes closed and looked tired, as if he was about to fall asleep.
He must have been tired after driving for nearly 10 hours straight.
She turned around and hugged him face to face, then put her hands on his waist and started massaging him. "Honey, you've worked so hard driving for so long."
According to the original plan, they were supposed to travel back while having fun, but the construction site suddenly called Ren Jin and said that they needed to start work ahead of schedule, so they rushed back.
Ren Jin hugged the person tighter, closed his eyes and comfortably enjoyed it, "I am a little tired, you can massage a little higher."
Gu Yueji obediently massaged him, and couldn't help but complain, "Now that you're tired of saying you're tired, why don't you want to take turns driving with me?"
Ren Jin raised an eyelid and asked, "Who was it this morning who woke up complaining of back pain? They didn't even want to get dressed and needed me to help them. And you're the one driving?"
Gu Yueji paused, then looked up and complained angrily, "That's all because of you!"
Ren Jin lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, a smile appearing in them. "Because of what?"
Gu Yueji glared at him, giving him a look that made him understand.
However, Ren Jin pretended not to understand and insisted on asking, "Because of what? Tell me."
Gu Yueji was angry. She pointed her finger at his chest and said, word by word, "Because someone specially booked a hot spring hotel, and then dragged me to the hot spring pool in the room to do this and that! And I didn't want to get up!"
Ren Jin was amused by her description, and those unrestrained images in the hot spring pool flashed through his mind, making him hoarse. He leaned close to her ear and asked, "What do you mean by 'like this' and 'like that'?"
His hot breath brushed against her ear, and Gu Yueji remembered how he had used the same voice last night, kissing her ear and saying things that made her blush and her heart race, enticing her to fall deeper and deeper into his clutches.
Gu Yueji blushed, and the hand that was rubbing his waist moved to his side to tickle him. "How can you be so annoying! How can you be so annoying!"
Ren Jin burst into laughter.
Gu Yueji seized the opportunity to wriggle out of his arms, sat on him, and continued tickling him, "Are you going to tease me again! Are you going to tease me again!"
Ren Jin was most afraid of being tickled, so he laughed and twisted his body while protecting her, afraid that she would fall off him.
After laughing for a while, Ren Jin grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I surrender. Be careful not to fall."
Gu Yueji stared at the man lying beneath her. His hair, which had just been trimmed before the Spring Festival, was neat and tidy, and his handsome face with its high forehead and thick eyebrows made him even more striking and sharp.
This man is getting more and more handsome.
Gu Yueji, her heart fluttering, nestled against his chest and nuzzled affectionately.
Ren Jin's heart softened at the gentle touch, and he patted her back lightly. "What's wrong? Are you tired too?"
Gu Yueji thought about how his construction site was about to start work and how they would both be busy, and muttered, "It's time to start a new year of work again. It feels like we haven't had enough of this year's holiday yet."
Ren Jin chuckled, "Haven't you had enough yet? Want to keep traveling?"
Gu Yueji was conflicted. "I want to, but I don't want to."
"What's the meaning?"
"I think about it because I'd enjoy traveling with you. But I also think about how good things are at home, and I really love making money. I want to make lots and lots of money!"
Ren Jin chuckled silently and pinched her chin. "You're such a money-grubber."
Gu Yueji didn't deny it, "What's wrong? Don't you like money?"
“I like it,” Ren Jin said, but he didn’t understand. “Why do you need so much money? Isn’t the money I usually give you enough?”
She doesn't like makeup, buying bags, or shopping. She's busy with work every day, and her daily expenses are actually very small. She definitely can't spend all the money he gives her.
