When Chi's mother gave birth to a boy, Chi's father, who had been hoping for a daughter, was extremely disgusted.
He glanced at the child a few times before going to his wife to complain.
Chi's mother was wheeled out of the maternity ward, followed by Chi's father, whose face was covered in scratches, and who was reluctantly holding a child in his arms.
"Mom, how are you feeling?" Chi Yu asked, leaning closer to his mother's bedside.
Xu Nian, holding a bouquet of flowers, also came over. Upon receiving the flowers, Chi's mother's face lit up with a smile.
"Still harboring resentment, unlike these two grown men." The unspoken implication made Chi Yu and his father realize they were in the wrong.
Xu's mother held the child in her arms, showing her great affection.
After staying in the hospital for a few days, Chi's mother took the baby to a postpartum care center. Even though he knew that there would be people to take care of Chi's mother at the center, Chi's father still insisted on accompanying her throughout the process.
There was absolutely nothing between Chi Yu and Xu Nian.
But looking at his younger brother who was still in swaddling clothes, Chi Yu had already begun to plan for him to take over the family company when he came of age.
"Wife, we can start planning our retirement life now." Chi Yu leaned on Xu Nian's shoulder, smiling smugly.
"What mischief are you up to now?" Xu Nian sensed that Chi Yu was definitely plotting something.
"It's a secret, you'll find out later." Chi Yu smiled mysteriously.
Xu Nian did find out later.
She felt sorry for her brother-in-law, who was under immense academic pressure at such a young age and cried while studying every day.
"Chi Yu, aren't you being a bit too harsh? Chi Che is only ten years old!" Xu Nian's frowning expression made Chi Yu feel very uncomfortable.
"Wife, he's nothing compared to me. I had so much more to learn than him back then." Chi Yu clearly remembered that his father squeezed out all of his spare time outside of sleep so that he wouldn't bother his mother.
"..." Xu Nian didn't know what to say. Chi's parents had gone on vacation again, and Chi Che had fallen into his brother's hands. Life would be difficult for him.
But Xu Nian didn't intend to stop him. Chi Che wasn't an ordinary kid; he was going to manage his family's company in the future.
If a company lacks sufficient capacity to go bankrupt, how many families will lose their source of income?
All she could do was instruct the kitchen to prepare more of Chi Che's favorite dishes so he could have a good nourishing meal.
Seeing his favorite dishes on the table every day, Chi Che was both touched and dared not touch them.
Because it's what he loves to eat, and his brother loves to eat it too.
If he dares to steal food, his homework will definitely double.
"Damn capitalists!" Chi Che vowed in his heart. One day he would trample his brother underfoot and make him taste what it's like to do homework every day.
Chi Yu looked at Chi Che's gritted teeth and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
What we need is your hard work and determination.
If you don't want to learn, there's nothing I can do about it, but if you're willing to learn, I can teach you!
Chi Yu felt that he had taken another big step closer to his retirement plan.
Poor Chi Che had no idea that he was learning so many things just because someone wanted to retire early.
Seeing how smart Chi Che was, Chi Yu would bring him to the company to learn during his winter and summer vacations when he was in high school.
When the time was right, Chi Yu began to entrust some important matters to Chi Che.
Just after starting university, Chi Che turned eighteen.
When he woke up the next day, he found that he was the only person left in the entire Chi family manor.
His parents, brother, and sister-in-law all ran away, leaving him as a left-behind child.
Not only that, the company is now his, and he has become the largest shareholder.
In other words, from now on he will have to clock in for work every day, and at the same time complete his university studies.
Chi Che desperately wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
He complained about this to Mr. and Mrs. Chi, but instead received encouragement from the two elders.
Chi Che shouted, but no one criticized his brother for doing something wrong.
Having come of age with wealth that others could never achieve in a lifetime, Chi Che is quite troubled.
Chi Yu and Xu Nian traveled all over China, and when they had enough fun, they settled down in a small town in the Jiangnan water region.
Once I've had enough of staying here, I'll move on to another place after a while.
Their main idea is to go wherever there's good food and fun activities.
Xu Nian would occasionally visit Mu Qingqing.
She has dedicated herself to teaching in rural areas for many years and remains single to this day.
Xu Nian also asked her if it was worth it.
Mu Qingqing, however, said that there was no question of whether it was worth it or not; she did what she wanted to do.
Mu Qingqing's current level of thinking greatly impressed Xu Nian.
...
"Wife, I've grown gray hair." One morning, Chi Yu looked in the mirror and was shocked.
Xu Nian walked over and leaned her head against Chi Yu's back, comforting him, "I've grown up too. We're going to stay together until we grow old."
"Holding your hand, we will grow old together." Chi Yu's eyes sparkled, and his fear of aging had completely disappeared.
On the contrary, after thinking about it, he felt quite happy.
He spent his whole life with the person he loved most.
I ask you, who else could be as happy as him for a lifetime?
"Wife, I love you even more today than I did yesterday." Even now, Chi Yu's favorite thing to do with Xu Nian is still to hug her and act cute.
"Me too, I like you even more than yesterday." Xu Nian smiled broadly, and time had not left any marks on her face.
Looking at her smile, Chi Yu continued his coquettish act. "Wife, I want to be with you again in the next life."
“Okay, as long as you can find me, we’ll be together.” Xu Nian nodded very seriously.
"I'm sure I can find you," Chi Yu said confidently.
"Chi Yu, aren't you afraid I'll be an ugly monster in my next life?" Xu Nian thought to tease Chi Yu.
"Don't worry, in my eyes, Nian Nian is the most beautiful." Chi Yu believes beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In his mind, as long as he could be with Xu Nian, the outside world wasn't that important.
Because he knew that what he valued most about Xu Nian was the person herself, not her appearance.
"Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Here, I'll reward you with a piece of candy." Xu Nian tossed a piece of candy that she was about to eat herself into Chi Yu's mouth.
While eating the stinky candy, Chi Yu raised his eyebrows a few times, then suddenly wrapped his arms around Xu Nian's waist and kissed her hard.
"Mmm! Chi Yu." When they separated, Xu Nian's mouth was filled with the smell of durian; it was a kiss with a distinct flavor.
"Niannian, is the candy delicious?" Chi Yu had to ask, as if courting death.
Xu Nian pretended to think for a long time before saying, "Apart from desserts, there's nothing else."
"What about me?" Chi Yu wanted to ask something that Xu Nian knew, but was this a question that could be brought up?
"You're the sweetest." Xu Nian smiled, and those four simple words made Chi Yu extremely happy.
His wife really loves him; she's so sweet, and he loves her so much.
No, he has to express his love.
Xu Nian was suddenly lifted onto the sink, and when she looked up, she was met with Chi Yu's burning gaze.
"Chi Yu, we just woke up," Xu Nian reminded Chi Yu not to be too absurd.
"Niannian, life is too short, we should enjoy it while we can," Chi Yu said with a mischievous grin.
