After a rainy August, the capital city finally welcomed several long-awaited days of clear skies and bright sunshine.
Sunlight streamed through gaps in the clouds, spilling onto the city streets and reflecting a dazzling light, draping the earth in a golden cloak.
Under the bright and sunny weather, the city has regained its vitality, with crowds of people everywhere, making it extremely lively.
The largest luxury shopping street in the capital
Xiao Wujie wore a light red cardigan and white casual straight-leg pants. His skin was as white as snow, and his face was as gentle as jade.
She is like a clear moon and a gentle breeze, ethereal and otherworldly.
Even in her illness and frailty, her unparalleled beauty remained undiminished.
Chu Liyue, dressed in casual jeans and with his arm around hers, gently squeezed his slightly cool hand and smiled.
"Sweetie, haven't you been cooped up at home all these days?"
Xiao Wujie lowered his head and coughed lightly, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice soft and gentle.
"No……"
With a slight shift in his gaze, he gently brought his thin, sickly-pale lips close to Chu Liyue's ear and softly blew on them.
"As long as my sister wants, I'm willing to stay at home and be her caged bird forever."
"You can treat me however you want, sister~"
In the crowd, Chu Liyue reached out and cupped the back of his head, then turned her head and kissed his lips.
Xiao Wujie let out a muffled groan, his eyes glistening with tears, but he still stuck out his tongue and teasingly licked Chu Liyue's delicate red lips, which naturally earned him even deeper affection from Chu Liyue.
After a long while, he breathed heavily and rested his head on Chu Liyue's shoulder, his lips red and moist.
When she noticed the teasing looks from passersby, a blush immediately rose to her cheeks. She buried her face in Chu Liyue's neck, feeling a little embarrassed, and whispered.
"My sister is so mean..."
"Let's see if you dare to do it again next time."
Chu Liyue lightly pinched his waist as a form of punishment, then took his hand and placed it in her palm to warm it.
The capital city wasn't actually very cold at the beginning of autumn, and most people were still wearing short sleeves. Even though Xiao Wujie was wearing a cardigan like an oddity, his hands were still ice-cold.
She wanted him to experience more warmth.
Behind them, the "male nanny" Lu's mother pretends to be blind as usual, while the "female ox and horse" Ai Ruoman eats candy as usual.
Then, Yunmo said with a look of admiration and envy, "Teacher, please teach me! I want to learn!"
Leng Ruxue nudged him lightly with her elbow: "Doesn't it give you the feeling of a tyrannical empress and her sickly male concubine?"
Yunmo curled his lip slightly: "Old woman, you'd better watch your mouth. Master's wife only brought us out because Master's health has improved these past few days and it's also Master's birthday. If Master's wife hears you saying that, Master will probably have to pay for all those designer brands you listed yesterday yourself."
"You little thief, if you dare shout again, I'll tear your mouth apart! I'll be a year older than you!"
Leng Ruxue instantly flew into a rage upon hearing the words "old woman," only regaining some composure when she heard "pay the bill yourself."
Hmm... I need to learn my lesson and call him "pretty little brother".
There's nothing we can do; the handsome younger brother's "emperor" status is undeniable.
After entering the heart of the commercial street, Chu Liyue casually tossed a few cards to everyone before leading Xiao Wujie into the men's clothing and jewelry section.
Originally, she wanted to celebrate his eighteenth birthday quietly at Liyue Manor, but Chu Yuntian and Chu Mingcheng found her and said they wanted to have a big celebration, and at the same time announced her official status as the next head of the Chu family and Xiao Wujie's future son-in-law.
With so many joyous occasions, it's only right to celebrate in a grand manner, which also shows their respect for Xiao Wujie.
Chu Liyue respectfully sought Xiao Wujie's opinion, and Xiao Wujie, who had always been obedient to her, naturally agreed without hesitation.
Her baby is so beautiful and loves to dress up, she will definitely prepare several nice outfits for him.
Chu Liyue led Xiao Wujie into a high-end clothing store and had the top fashion designers tailor-make clothes for him according to his preferences.
The beautiful and attentive female store manager personally greeted them and respectfully handed them the design brochure.
Chu Liyue gracefully crossed her long legs, embraced Xiao Wujie, and sat on the soft and comfortable sofa. Her slender fingers flipped through the design booklet on her lap, and her red lips gently brushed against his ear.
"Sweetie, is there a style you like?"
Xiao Wujie gently rubbed his cheek against her chin twice, his voice soft and gentle.
"Let me take another look, sister..."
Having lived two lives, this was his first time celebrating his coming-of-age ceremony.
He is not a person who is very particular about rituals, and he actually takes these things very lightly.
But Chu Liyue prepared all this so carefully and meticulously for him, just so that he could have the most profound and moving memory during the most beautiful years of his life.
He didn't want to disappoint her, nor did he want to disappoint himself. At one of the most important moments in his life, he wanted to show his best self and leave a lasting mark on their shared memories.
As he flipped through the pages, his gaze suddenly fell on a white suit.
White is his favorite color. In his eyes, white is the purest color in the world, like the bright moon in the sky, hanging quietly in the night, without a trace of impurity; or like the snow on the top of a mountain, spotless, quiet and solemn.
It is an ultimate simplicity, yet it contains boundless inclusiveness, like a deep ocean that can accept all rivers flowing into it. It is magnanimous yet retains its true nature.
It is both the starting point and the end point of color, symbolizing the possible destination and fusion of all things. On this blank space, all things can reveal their unique charm, just like life, where the blank spaces better reflect the richness and depth of life.
He hoped that his life, and his future with her, would be like this, written together in splendor, weathering countless storms, remaining untainted, their eyes meeting, still the most touching couple they had ever been.
