So he kissed her again.
The two were reluctant to part.
"Actually, I think yours will be more effective than any other herbal tea."
In a daze, Shen Yulou heard this flirtatious remark.
He didn't refute it, but responded warmly with a smile.
"Remember to have the steward feed the fox cubs!" After a while, Shen Yulou suddenly remembered something and swiped at them with his paw.
This time, I didn't forget about the baby.
"Tsk..." Chi Yuan cried out in pain, then forcefully kissed Shen Yulou's lower lip, which had been bitten until it was blood red, to rescue it.
Great, another day of completely upside down day and night, and an extremely chaotic sleep schedule!
——————————————
I don't know how long I was unconscious.
Shen Yulou slowly woke up. Chi Yuan was sitting on the bedside table next to her, looking at the computer. The sound of mouse clicks mixed with the ticking of the clock, echoing in the quiet bedroom.
Crisp and regular.
Shen Yulou propped himself up and felt something in his hand.
Looking up, I noticed that I had somehow acquired a jadeite bangle of excellent quality, crystal clear and full green, along with a matching ring.
"Get up?" Chi Yuan moved to sit on the edge of the bed.
He skillfully took a thermos from next to the computer, unscrewed it, and fed it to Shen Yulou.
"Are you being condescending?" Shen Yulou raised his hand, gesturing to the extra jewelry in his hand.
"No... my mom and grandma came over this afternoon." Chi Yuan was happy just thinking about his mother and grandma's visit.
"They really wanted to meet you. They wanted to come and witness the day I confessed my feelings to you, but my parents received a big trade order from abroad and couldn't come back."
“My grandparents are getting old, and I’m not entirely comfortable with them coming over.”
"My parents returned to China today, and they immediately brought my grandparents over."
"But it's a pity you're sleeping..." Chi Yuan said, looking at Shen Yulou with a teasing expression.
Shen Yulou glared at him, "Isn't this all your doing?!"
“This jade bracelet was worn by my grandmother for decades. Back then, three identical bracelets were found on the same stone slab.”
“She wore one herself, gave one to my mom, and then said she would give this one to you.”
“This ring is a gift from my mother to you when we first met. It was a betrothal gift she said she would prepare for me when I was very young.”
As Chi Yuan thought of his family's love for his partner and their blessings for their future, he stroked the bracelet and ring.
"Isn't this too expensive?" Shen Yulou asked him cautiously.
“Darling, don’t look at me with such a cautious look. It makes me feel guilty. You never need to think that way.”
"You know what? I wish I could give you all the best things in the world. These things aren't valuable to me at all. You deserve all the good things..."
Chi Yuan shook his head, then pressed Shen Yulou's head into his chest and gently stroked his smooth hair.
"And my mom told my mom that she should be more generous to her wife and love her more, otherwise what if her wife runs away?"
Shen Yulou, who was buried in his chest, was amused by him and gently hit him.
My family said they'd like to have dinner with you tomorrow, is that alright?
Chi Yuan dug out Shen Yulou's head and asked him seriously.
“Okay!” Shen Yulou nodded solemnly.
"I'll call my mom and dad over..." Shen Yulou thought for a moment, it was time to end things and embrace a new beginning.
The two held each other's hands firmly and tightly.
