"It's nothing, I was just thinking, how old is An'an? What does he like? Should I buy him a gift?"
Chi Yuan smiled and tried his best to hide his true intentions.
"You're lying to me."
Shen Yulou immediately saw through his lie and bit Chi Yuan's lip hard.
"You're probably still wondering if we can make it to the end, aren't you?"
"Also, whose child is An'an with?"
Chi Yuan stroked Shen Yulou's eyelashes with his large hand. He didn't dare to look into Shen Yulou's eyes, but just kissed them again and again.
"Forgive me, I am a selfish person."
"Once a person has something, they will want more."
"Me too, we are all the same kind of people."
Shen Yulou nuzzled his cheek, resting her chin on Chi Yuan's shoulder, inhaling his unique scent.
“Yu Lou, I cannot make any guarantees for my family, nor will my family betray me.”
"Can you promise to stay with me forever?"
"The word 'forever'..."
He suddenly chuckled very faintly, his lips brushing past Shen Yulou's ear, the sound as light as snowflakes falling on a sword blade.
"It's like trying to grasp a handful of light from a full moon; the tighter you hold it, the faster it slips through your fingers."
Chi Yuan looked down at Shen Yulou's hand on his waist, the knuckles of which were a cold, jade-like bluish-white, like touching a fragile, thin porcelain.
"Then you can treat my hand as the moon, and when you hold my hand, we will never be apart."
The central air conditioning vents hummed softly. Shen Yulou took Chi Yuan's hand and put it in his pocket, sinking into the soft fibers of the cashmere coat.
I'm afraid you'll resent me one day.
"If it were as you wish, and I were with someone I didn't love, with his family, you wouldn't blame me?"
Shen Yulou stared at him, his brows slightly furrowed, and Chi Yuan could clearly see the grievance on his face.
“I do resent it, but not to this extent.”
Seeing Shen Yulou's aggrieved expression, Chi Yuan felt powerless but knew he had to make things clear with her.
"Do you know why I still buy hedge funds even though I know their risk exposure is always 0.7 standard deviations more than I imagine?"
Shen Yulou bit a crescent moon mark on the other's earlobe and gave the answer under Chi Yuan's "willing to hear the details" gaze.
"Because I'm willing, I ignore the risks."
"Don't try to deny it, you must have bought hedge funds before."
Quickly covering his ears, Shen Yulou refused to listen to Chi Yuan's "sophistry" any longer.
"When you were seducing me just now, didn't you also say 'drink today, for tomorrow we die'?"
"Then let's just live one day at a time, and who knows, we might just live like this for the rest of our lives?"
Chi Yuan chuckled, nodded with relief, and pulled Shen Yulou down by the waist. The soft cashmere pajamas clung to each other, and Shen Yulou couldn't help but hug him even tighter.
"Let's leave it at that. Live in the moment, and we'll deal with the future later."
After lying on the sofa for a long time, entwined like lovers, Shen Yulou suddenly tilted his head and licked Chi Yuan's Adam's apple.
"I have to work tomorrow, how about you take care of An'an for me?"
"Sure, but I'll be going to training next month, so I can only coach you for a month."
Chi Yuan readily agreed and took out his phone to check the calendar, preparing to give Shen Yulou a precise reply at a specific time.
"Also, when is your birthday?"
Shen Yulou smiled slyly, his ulterior motives immediately apparent.
"My birthday... is in the second half of the year, in June. I'll let you know in advance."
"What? Are you planning to give me a gift?"
Chi Yuan nuzzled Shen Yulou's nose, reaching out to tickle him. Shen Yulou couldn't dodge in time and kicked and thrashed, trying to push Chi Yuan away.
"You're tickling me, but I'm not telling you."
Actually, Shen Yulou wanted to get a paternity test done and then give it to Chi Yuan as a birthday surprise, but Chi Yuan's birthday is now too far in the past.
It's fine, just find any reason to celebrate and give a gift. I'll just send a bouquet of flowers and put the paternity test results inside.
