Duan Ye: "I really couldn't sleep without you here."
Luo Qingyuan sighed and patted his head: "My brother and sister-in-law are bringing Luoluo and Chenchen to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. What will they do if they want to sleep with me?"
Duan Ye closed his eyes, locked his wife's waist, and whispered, "No, you can only sleep with me."
"As a father, don't you miss your children?"
Duan Ye: "Yes, I miss you, but I miss you even more."
After the New Year, once they return to Kyoto, they will be back to endless work. Although they can see each other every day, it's not enough, far from enough.
Luo Qingyuan's lips curled up slightly. Since Nanxing's matter was resolved, they had been more relaxed than ever before. Occasionally, minor frictions in their lives were just a spice to their relationship.
The five years they were apart caused them to lose their sense of security, but they also cherished each other more, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Under Duan Ye's supervision, Luo Qingyuan's body visibly improved. When she first arrived in Kyoto and wore a sundress, it looked like she was wearing only a thin sheet of fabric. Now, she finally has some flesh on her body and is not so cold anymore.
"Go to sleep. Everything will be alright when it's light tomorrow."
So, Duan Ye slowly closed his eyes.
After being home for so many days, the couple finally got a good night's sleep tonight.
Ding Yifen and Duan Shenggang had just finished soaking their feet and changed into their pajamas when they went to the old man's bedroom to pack up his remaining belongings.
Duan Kai was able to stay home for the Spring Festival this year. After dealing with the old man's affairs, he rarely came out except for meals, and spent most of his time in the room with Sheng Xia.
During the day, he would tell Shengxia about interesting things that happened at work, and at night he would read her bedtime stories. For him, these days were a little comfort on his long journey through life.
The next day, at daybreak, Duan Ye and Duan Ze took their wives out.
After all, Luo Shuyang had to bring the child, and Liang Mo's parents would also bring the child. It was said that Shen Niannian's family would also be coming. It was a day of family reunion. It was just a pity that although everyone got up very early, Duan Renji's car was still not in the courtyard.
Duan Ze was driving, and Shen Niannian was sitting in the passenger seat, wrapped up like a panda with only her eyes showing. She was wearing gloves and saw someone selling candied hawthorns by the roadside, and she couldn't resist the urge to eat them.
"Brother, can I buy a candied hawthorn for your beautiful and gentle wife?"
Duan Ze: "If you keep eating like this, your teeth will rot. You're not allowed to eat anymore. Just bear with it."
Shen Niannian gave a soft snort, her little face puffed up with anger, not wanting to pay any attention to Duan Ze.
Meanwhile, as soon as the car stopped, Duan Ye saw the roasted chestnuts not far away. He was following Luo Qingyuan, his eyes fixed on them.
"Honey, what do you think about us buying some roasted chestnuts for the kids?"
Luo Qingyuan smiled enigmatically: "Is it you who wants to eat it, or the child?"
Duan Ye said earnestly, "I want both."
In the end, Luo Qingyuan still dragged him along and bought two bags of roasted chestnuts: "Eat less, otherwise you won't be able to eat much when it's time for dinner."
"No, no, men have big appetites."
Luo Qingyuan ignored him and focused on buying groceries, while Duan Ye followed behind carrying the vegetables and meat.
Finally, seeing that the whole bag of roasted chestnuts was almost empty, Luo Qingyuan grabbed it from him without turning her head and said, "Confiscated."
Duan Ye was immediately a little embarrassed: "Wife..."
Luo Qingyuan was haggling with the shopkeeper over the price of some chicken, but she still managed to reply to her, "It's no use yelling anymore, just behave yourself."
So Duan Ye had no choice but to behave himself.
Meanwhile, Shen Niannian walked quickly, weaving through the crowd with her large pregnant belly, while Duan Ze followed behind carrying groceries, saying, "Slow down."
No matter how much Duan Ze called out, Shen Niannian didn't turn around. Finally, he had no choice but to say, "Buy it! I'll buy it, okay?"
With people coming and going around them, Duan Ze thought Shen Niannian couldn't hear him anymore. But then, the next second, Shen Niannian's smiling face appeared, revealing two shallow dimples. She took his arm and said, "Brother, I knew you were the best."
Duan Ze was inexplicably annoyed, but still pulled her with a dark face: "Let's go, let's go now, but it's agreed that you can only eat one skewer."
"Otherwise, you might cry again when your tooth hurts."
Shen Niannian nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling: "Absolutely, absolutely."
"The New Year is almost here, brother."
"I know."
"So, can I have a small cake during Chinese New Year?"
"Can't."
Shen Niannian immediately started whimpering, "No, just one, just one..."
Duan Ze simply pretended not to hear this time.
Duan Ye followed closely behind Luo Qingyuan, asking, "Have you finished shopping? Shouldn't we buy some toys or something for the child?"
"Aren't all those new toys in your room enough?"
Duan Ye: "..." His race car was supposed to be stored in a box, right? Did his wife go through his box? How come he didn't know?
"That's different. Besides, Manman is coming too, as are Ziyuan and Liang Mo's eldest son. We need to prepare for all of them."
Luo Qingyuan: "Wait until you're ready, it's already springtime."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I had already chosen it when I knew they were coming, and it was already at home."
Duan Ye: "Huh?" So fast? My wife's older sister!
But Duan Ye had to give up on his idea and could only secretly regret that he could no longer buy another race car to play with.
"Go buy some cilantro and scallions, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, good."
