This rooftop terrace is a hidden gem.
It's surrounded by one-way glass on all four sides, and inside there's a bar, game consoles, a kitchen, a projector, sofas, beds, and so on...
It could be said that this was practically Su Chuanlin's second home. It was incredibly large, and apart from one area enclosed by glass, the rest of the place was completely open to the public; presumably, that was the bathroom.
“No one has ever been here before, or rather, no one knows this place is like this. You are the first and the only one.” Su Chuanlin hugged Xiang Niannian and nuzzled her cheek.
It was only then that Xiang Niannian saw how Su Chuanlin was holding him.
She had somehow wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms tightly around his neck, their eyes meeting in an extremely ambiguous way.
“Nianbao…” Su Chuanlin’s voice suddenly became hoarse.
When Xiang Niannian met his gaze, she was startled. The feeling from before returned—his aggressive gaze.
"Su Chuanlin, put me down, I don't want to hug you anymore." Her lips still hurt, she couldn't kiss him anymore.
Su Chuanlin ignored her and, for the first time, lifted her up, holding her even more securely: "Nianbao, don't keep calling me Su Chuanlin anymore. I'll call you Nianbao, so you should call me by another name too, okay?"
Seeing Niannian gazing at him so affectionately, and hearing his magnetic voice, she blushed and felt a little embarrassed, almost too shy to look at him.
But she still bit her lip: "Then... what should we call you?"
This sweet talk completely melted Su Chuanlin's heart.
Su Chuanlin kissed Xiang Niannian's lips in a flattering manner: "Call me Brother Chuanlin, okay?"
After saying that, he kissed the other corner of Xiang Niannian's mouth.
When Xiang Niannian heard this address, her face flushed and turned red, but she still bit her lip.
"Don't bite, it will hurt." Su Chuanlin stopped her with his mouth. He had kissed her a little too hard just now, and now she was biting him. Her lips would be swollen and red in no time.
Xiang Niannian nodded: "Brother Chuanlin, is it ready yet?"
When he called out to Niannian, he didn't hesitate at all. He thought he would be too ashamed to speak, but it came out quite naturally.
Good heavens, that "brother" almost sent Su Chuanlin to his death.
He was so excited that he wanted to kiss her again.
Having learned from her previous two experiences, Xiang Niannian reacted quickly, immediately covering her mouth and shouting, "No!"
Su Chuanlin kissed the back of her hand.
"Sorry, Nianbao, I got too excited. Can you call me that from now on?"
Su Chuanlin chuckled awkwardly.
After receiving Xiang Niannian's consent, Su Chuanlin carried her to sit on the soft sofa. Xiang Niannian pretended to get down, wanting to take a good look at his secret base.
Su Chuanlin didn't insist on continuing to hold her, but instead asked Xiang Niannian to sit on the sofa: "Nianbao, sit here for a while, I'll go get some ointment to put on your lips, okay?"
"I don't want to," Xiang Niannian refused softly.
Su Chuanlin felt both sorry for her and amused by her cautious manner.
"Nianbao, if you don't want it, then don't! Just say what you want. You can do whatever you want with me. I won't make you do anything you don't like. But can you tell me why?"
"It's my fault for kissing you too hard just now; I'm afraid the swelling won't go down quickly."
Su Chuanlin knelt down on one knee in front of Xiang Niannian, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked up at her with eyes full of starlight, constantly attracting Xiang Niannian.
For some reason, Xiang Niannian felt her eyes were a little sore.
It turns out that she is worthy of being loved in this world.
Thinking this, Xiang Niannian lowered her head under Su Chuanlin's questioning gaze, placed her hands on his shoulders, and gently touched his lips.
"Okay, because I don't want my mouth to taste like ointment. I don't like that."
Su Chuanlin burst into a silly grin because of Xiang Niannian's action.
"It won't smell like ointment; it smells like strawberry. Because of Sheng Sheng's situation, the ointments from both of our families generally have a strawberry flavor."
Or if you don't like strawberry flavor, I can change it to another flavor for you later.
Xiang Niannian thought she would remember this scene clearly for the rest of her life.
In the end, Xiang Niannian still applied it. As Su Chuanlin said, it was strawberry flavored and had a sweet strawberry fragrance.
*****
Yin Han and Nan Sheng have registered their marriage, and Su Chuanlin and Xiang Niannian are officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. This is something to be happy about for both the Nan and Su families.
If we're talking about the most excited people, it has to be the Su family. After all, of the three China Construction Bank branches, one of them has finally found a buyer.
Su Sihan and Liu Han couldn't wait to set up several large tables to show off.
The night Su Chuanlin escorted Niannian back to her rented apartment was also their first day together.
Su Chuanlin immediately added Xiang Niannian to their family group chat.
Instantly, Xiang Niannian was as if she had been struck by the God of Wealth. As soon as she entered the group, before she even had a chance to say hello, her phone started ringing incessantly.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the Su family: Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Uncle Nan, Aunt Nan, and even Nan Sheng.
They transferred huge sums of money to her one by one.
I don't know if it was pre-arranged, but all the elders did.
And all of them are.
Let alone all of them, any one of them would be enough to shock Xiang Niannian for a long time, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
【My dear Niannian, this is Grandma's formal greeting, a small token of her appreciation.】
[And Grandpa's too! Welcome to Niannian's arrival, you've really gone all out to make this second little guy!]
【My dear Niannian, this is from your auntie. It's not very big, but you should accept it!】
[...]
The sheer volume of money transfers, red envelopes, and messages overwhelmed Xiang Niannian.
At the same time, Su Chuanlin and Nan Sheng sent her private messages.
Su Chuanlin: [Nianbao, don't overthink it. They really like you and feel like someone finally wants me, so they're very grateful to you. Please accept it, okay? Otherwise, they'll be sad, and I'll be sad too. (GIF crying emoji)]
"..." Xiang Niannian.
Nan Sheng: [Niannian! From today onwards, you'll be officially my sister-in-law. Please accept this small gift. If you don't, I think, given their personalities, the next step will be to give you a gift directly.]
As expected, Nan Sheng's statement prompted Niannian to click into the group chat and collect all the transfers that were meant for her.
Then I thanked them one by one.
This move made Su Chuanlin so happy that he posted a message in the group chat, somewhat boastfully: "Big brother, little brother, you guys need to work harder, someone already wants me!"
Upon seeing this message, Xiang Niannian couldn't help but laugh out loud while looking at her phone screen.
This big family is so happy!
P.S.: Here I am! I've been flying all day and I'm still at the airport waiting for my luggage to be checked in. I've been waiting for an hour! This is the first time I've encountered this situation.
