Chapter 104

[Tsk, Yu Yuanyuan is just being contradictory. You’re clearly very happy about it.] [Yuanyuan is so good at acting spoiled. I also want to find a boyfriend like that, boo hoo.]

Although the two of them had eaten dumplings and weren’t hungry, Yu Shu still prepared a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.

During the meal, Yu Shu poured a cup of wine for Yan Jin.

As Yan Jin took the wine cup handed to her by Yu Shu, she saw that Yu Shu had also poured a cup of wine for himself.

Looking at the wine cup in Yu Shu’s hand, Yan Jin raised an eyebrow. “Yuanyuan, give me the wine cup.”

It wasn’t that Yan Jin craved alcohol, but rather because Yu Shu was not only pouring a full cup, but was also allergic to alcohol. Yan Jin was afraid that if Yu Shu drank the wine, she would have to carry him to the hospital during the New Year holiday.

“No.” Yu Shu protected the wine cup in his hand. “I’ll just have one cup. I won’t get drunk.”

“You won’t get drunk, but you’re allergic to alcohol.” Yan Jin said again, “Yuanyuan, be good and give me the wine cup.”

Yu Shu knew that when Xiaoxiao said this, there was no way he could drink the wine. Although he was a little reluctant, he always listened to Xiaoxiao, so he unhappily handed the wine cup to Yan Jin.

However, after handing over the wine cup, Yu Shu mumbled, “Everyone else can drink to celebrate the New Year, only I can’t.”

“That’s because others aren’t allergic to alcohol.” Yan Jin glanced at Yu Shu. “Wanting to drink when you’re allergic to alcohol, not cherishing yourself at all.”

Even though he knew Yan Jin made sense, Yu Shu, who had been almost spoiled rotten recently, couldn’t quite take in these slightly reproachful words.

Knowing he didn’t have a leg to stand on, but relying on Yan Jin’s doting, Yu Shu still righteously said to Yan Jin, “You scolded me.”

“I’m just worried about you.” Yan Jin skillfully patted Yu Shu’s head. “In the new year, I hope you’ll be healthy and happy.”

Seeing Yu Shu’s expression softening, Yan Jin pressed on. “Going to the doctor’s right after New Year’s is so unlucky.”

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to explain so clearly.” The mollified Yu Shu said, “I’m not the kind of person who can’t tell right from wrong, black from white.”

“Our Yuanyuan is indeed not someone who can’t tell right from wrong, black from white.” Yan Jin smiled, while silently adding one last sentence in her heart.

Her Yuanyuan just liked to take every opportunity to act spoiled with her.

Other than that, Yuanyuan was very sensible and could tell right from wrong, black from white.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers could be heard from outside the house. Even indoors, the faint scent of firecrackers could be detected.

Since Yu Shu couldn’t drink alcohol, he used soup instead to toast with Yan Jin. “Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year. I wish you a smooth year ahead and that you’ll love me even more than last year.”

Hearing Yu Shu’s last sentence, Yan Jin couldn’t help but reveal a deeper smile at the corners of her lips. “Yuanyuan, Happy New Year.”

After saying that, Yan Jin deliberately paused for a moment before adding the second half of the sentence under Yu Shu’s increasingly dangerous gaze. “I wish all your heart’s desires come true in the new year.”

Yu Shu asked, “Can all my wishes really come true?”

“I can’t guarantee anything else.” Yan Jin smiled and met Yu Shu’s eyes. “But I will definitely love you more than last year.”

Yu Shu happily said, “That’s more like it.”

[Happy New Year, you two darlings.] [Wishing Yan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yuanyuan a Happy New Year. May you have a baby girl soon and celebrate as a family of three next year!]

After finishing the meal, Yu Shu cleared the table. As soon as he turned around, Yan Jin hugged and kissed him.

Yu Shu wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but there seemed to be a faint scent of wine lingering around his nose.

After the kiss, Yan Jin’s eyes were smiling. “Yuanyuan, didn’t you want to drink? Did you taste the wine on my lips?”

“No.” Yu Shu licked his lips. “Let me kiss you again and I’ll be able to taste it.”

Yan Jin pressed her lips to Yu Shu’s and mumbled indistinctly, “Then I’ll let you kiss me one more time.”

New Year’s fireworks continued to bloom outside the window, while inside the room, spring was in the air. One large pair and one small pair of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor.

A few hours later, when the sky was still pitch black, Yan Jin picked up a lantern and a package, and walked out the door accompanied by Yu Shu.

Yan Jin opened the front door. After finding a small patch of empty ground outside, she handed the lantern to Yu Shu, took out the iron shovel she had placed by the door during the day, and began digging a hole.

Yu Shu stood beside Yan Jin, holding the lantern to provide light for her.

Worried that Yan Jin might be scared in the darkness, Yu Shu comforted her softly, “Xiaoxiao, I’m here with you. Don’t be afraid.”
