    Chapter 42 A gift is too deceptive

    After enjoying the fireworks, the two continued walking along the river.The night wind was picking up, and Jiang Chen was worried that Cheng Yu would feel cold, but seeing his excited expression, he still didn’t say anything.

    Fireworks kept flashing overhead, and Cheng Yuxin had to stop and admire them every time he saw one.The journey will not start again until the fireworks are completely over.

    So even though they have been out for a long time, the two of them still haven’t gone very far.Jiang Chen glanced at the time, it was almost ten o’clock.

    “Let’s go back.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, there were fireworks again above his head.Jiang Chen accompanied Cheng Yuxin to a halt, and when the fireworks were over, he pulled the person back and walked back.

    The two returned to the community along the original road.Fireworks continued to set off along the way, and the two of them stopped and walked. It was already half past ten when they got home.

    Jiang Chen urged Cheng Yuxin to wash up quickly.But Cheng Yuxin stood motionless on the balcony.Outside the window, the sky was full of gorgeous fireworks again.

    Jiang Chen became jealous again.

    Gritting his teeth, he still did nothing.Accompanying Cheng Yuxin to watch the fireworks on the balcony, she picked her up and headed straight to the bathroom.

    He watched openly while Cheng Yuxin was washing.The bathroom window is frosted glass, but you can still see the faint fireworks through the glass.

    Jiang Chen watched Cheng Yuxin brushing his teeth and washing his face intently, as if as long as this person dared to look at the window, something would happen immediately that he would regret.

    Cheng Yuxin quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. While taking a shower, she said she would not allow Jiang Chen to stay in the bathroom any longer.

    “You’ve already seen everything you should and shouldn’t see, why do you still want me to go out?” Jiang Chen stood in front of the door, motionless.

    “How can anyone be like you?” Cheng Yuxin was angry and shy at the same time, with a thin layer of red on her face.”Just find a rope to tie me up!”

    “It’s a good idea.” Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, as if he was seriously considering this suggestion.

    Cheng Yuxin’s face turned pale with fright: “You’re joking, just stand there, I, I’ve taken a shower…” He said and started to take off his clothes hurriedly.

    Jiang Chen saw how clumsy he was and stepped forward to help.As soon as my hand touched the person, I felt the obvious trembling of the other person.

    “So scared?” He simply pulled the person into his arms, letting the other person’s body touch his completely.

    Cheng Yuxin blushed shamelessly.

    Jiang Chen looked at it and laughed softly: “You obviously like me, why do you let me go?”

    “I’m not leaving.” Cheng Yuxin seemed to have figured it out, stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck, and kissed Jiang Chen’s chin as he spoke.

    Jiang Chen simply kissed him on the lips without doing anything else.Cheng Yuxin quickly stopped: “You haven’t brushed your teeth yet!”

    “That’s easy to say.” Jiang Chen said and let go of his hand.

    While Jiang Chen was brushing his teeth, Cheng Yuxin was making trouble on the side, and the shower gel, facial cleanser, and body lotion got all over Jiang Chen.

    Jiang Chen couldn’t bear it anymore, spit out the foam in his mouth, carried the person to the bathroom, and turned on the shower.Warm water fell from the sky, drenching the two of them.

    “I haven’t taken off my clothes yet!” Cheng Yuxin protested.

    “Me too.”

    Cheng Yuxin couldn’t refute, so she could only take off her clothes angrily.

    The soaked house clothes cling tightly to the body and are particularly difficult to take off.Jiang Chen kindly helped him, but he got a disgusted look.

    Jiang Chen kept a straight face and said nothing, but his hands were not delayed at all.After he was stripped naked, he leaned forward and kissed her.

    The bathroom was too small and Cheng Yuxin couldn’t get out of the way, her hands tightly grasping Jiang Chen’s soaked clothes.

    After a while, the temperature in the bathroom rose.

    After taking a bath for more than two hours, Cheng Yuxin’s legs were weak when he came out. He couldn’t even stand firmly, but he still refused to be hugged by Jiang Chen.Don’t awkwardly return to the bedroom. As soon as you lay down on the bed, you immediately rolled over to the other side of the bed. You could tell at a glance that you wanted to stay away from Jiang Chen.

    Jiang Chen refused to let him have his way. Not only did he press his body tightly against him, his arms also tightly clamped around Cheng Yuxin’s waist.

    “Baby, I really want to tie you to the bed like this. You can’t go anywhere and no one can see you.”

    Perhaps stimulated by Cheng Yuxin’s dodge, Jiang Chen accidentally spoke out what was on his mind.

    Cheng Yuxin didn’t feel any fear or fear at all.Even though he knew that this man was not joking.

    He turned around and hugged Jiang Chen’s body: “Well…”

    As he said that, he buried his head into Jiang Chen’s chest.

    Jiang Chen hugged the person tighter.Let it be, as it is now.Rely on each other and hold each other tightly.Never separate.

    The two of them hung out in the dark for two whole days.On the third day, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, express delivery resumed.When the doorbell rang, the two were still blatantly having sex on the sofa during the day.

    Jiang Chen reluctantly got up and covered Cheng Yuxin’s body with a blanket. He only wore a piece of home clothes. He came to the door full of resentment and saw someone through the doorbell.

    Jiang Chen pressed the elevator button for someone and said through the intercom: “Put it in front of the door.”

    The courier replied hello, and entered the elevator with the courier in large and small packages.

    Jiang Chen returned to the sofa, lifted up the blanket and got in.

    “Who is he?” Cheng Yuxin skillfully hooked his legs around the visitor’s waist, and deliberately rubbed his insteps against Jiang Chen’s legs.

    Jiang Chen’s resentment suddenly turned into “anger”. After the hearty ending, he hugged his lover and asked in a low voice: “Is it important?”

    Cheng Yuxin was still in a daze and couldn’t realize what he was asking.

    “Does it matter who comes?” Jiang Chen asked.

    Cheng Yuxin’s head was still dizzy, but she smiled stupidly: “It’s not important.”

    Jiang Chen’s heart suddenly felt relieved.He kissed his beloved’s misty eyes lovingly: “Eat.”

    Cheng Yuxin had woken up a little and nodded, her eyes a little melancholy.

    It’s been like this for the past few days.Eat it, make it, make it and eat it.The fire can be started in the bathroom even when taking a bath, and in the kitchen when cooking.

    He admired Jiang Chen’s energy, but also felt that continuing like this was not an option.

    What to do when the vacation is over?Does Jiang Chen really have to travel back and forth between Licheng and Qincheng every day just for a brief moment of tenderness at night?

    Cheng Yuxin’s worries could not escape Jiang Chen’s eyes.He hugged his lover tightly again, and his voice was sexy afterward: “Baby, are you thinking about the future?”

    Cheng Yuxin nodded honestly.

    “Don’t worry about me.” Jiang Chen pressed his forehead against Cheng Yuxin’s, “Because, I can’t bear it anymore…”

    “You…” Cheng Yuxin gently touched her lover’s cheek with her warm palm, “Are you really not tired?”

    Jiang Chen gently rubbed his forehead against the other person, like a docile and loyal big dog: “You, you always have a way to make me unable to resist.”

    By the time Jiang Chen had finished his “lunch”, Cheng Yuxin no longer had the energy to get up.

    His arms hung weakly, and his slender fingertips touched the ground bit by bit.Like a sunny doll that moves with the wind.

    Jiang Chen helped him put his arms back under the blanket.”I’m going to cook.” He said and left the living room.

    Cheng Yuxin looked at his back, her heart aching slightly.

    Today’s lunch was extremely light, and Cheng Yuxin ate a little too much without realizing it.Looking at Jiang Chen’s eyes that were always staring at her face, Cheng Yuxin was curious as to why she didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

    Cheng Yuxin put down the empty bowl and smiled sweetly at Jiang Chen.

    Jiang Chen left his seat, sat down next to Cheng Yuxin, put his arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.

    Cheng Yuxin had expected it, but he didn’t have the energy to even kiss, and soon he collapsed in Jiang Chen’s arms.

    “Don’t worry about me.” Jiang Chen’s kisses were thin and dense, falling like raindrops on his cheeks, chin, neck, and collarbones… His low and sexy voice was like a warm wind, making Cheng Yu feel dizzy.”I’ll get it under control.”

    Cheng Yuxin nodded vigorously, and the uneasiness lingering in his heart disappeared.

    He didn’t deliberately want to believe it, but just hearing it from Jiang Chen’s mouth made him believe it uncontrollably.

    While Cheng Yuxin was taking a lunch break, Jiang Chen disinfected the express packages and brought them into the house one by one, placing them in categories.As soon as Cheng Yuxin woke up, he immediately pulled people over to take a look.

    “Baby, your express delivery.”

    Cheng Yuxin hasn’t fully woken up yet. He has been really tired these past few days.It’s rare to have a peaceful sleep, and even when you wake up, your body is still nostalgic.

    When his vision was completely clear, Cheng Yuxin saw a mountain of express delivery.Although they are neatly arranged, there are probably too many of them.

    “They’re all mine?” Cheng Yuxin asked doubtfully.He doesn’t remember buying anything recently.

    “Yeah.” Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

    “Who bought it?” Cheng Yuxin picked up a small express box in confusion. The recipient’s name was undoubtedly himself.The sender’s name is very unfamiliar.

    Jiang Chen promptly handed over the small scissors used to open the express delivery. Cheng Yuxin opened the express box with a tearing sound, and then opened the layers of foam paper, finally seeing the true face of the express delivery.

    It is a small and exquisite pink figure.

    Cheng Yuxin recognized the familiar anime character at a glance, and her eyes lit up: Fufu!”

    Although Jiang Chen had known this nickname among fans for a long time, he still felt indescribably awkward when he heard it spoken from Cheng Yu’s heart.

    However, seeing Cheng Yuxin’s shining eyes, the awkwardness disappeared instantly and turned into full joy and satisfaction.

    Cheng Yuxin carefully placed the figure in the middle of the bookshelf, took a step back and admired it carefully.

    “I’ll check again later, the express delivery hasn’t been unpacked yet.”Jiang Chen reminded.

    “Do you need me to dismantle so many things?”Cheng Yuxin was a little frightened as she looked at the mountain of express delivery.

    “I’ll help you.”

    Jiang Chen brought another courier knife and divided the work with Cheng Yuxin. He opened the box and Cheng Yuxin opened the foam paper.Jiang Chen’s hands were nimble, and soon the floor was filled with semi-finished express products waiting to be dismantled.

    Cheng Yuxin had to carefully appreciate each one she took apart, and her speed was naturally much slower than Jiang Chen’s.

    Seeing that he was entertaining himself, Jiang Chen simply unpacked the express delivery in one go and went to the kitchen to get some snacks and fruits.When Cheng Yuxin admired the exquisite surroundings, he gave him a piece of fruit at the right time, either a bright red tomato or a clear blue blueberry.

    Cheng Yuxin ate and unpacked it, and it wasn’t until dusk fell that he could finish unpacking the express.

    With brisk steps, he placed all kinds of peripherals in different places in his home.The hand-made bonsai needs to be placed on the shelf, and the colored paper needs to be put into the photo frame.The badge and keychain can be put away first and then hung up when he gets the bag from home.

    The more Cheng Yuxin watched, the happier she became. She turned around and flew into her lover’s arms, kissing her lover’s cheek affectionately.

    Jiang Chen hugged his waist, with the same satisfied smile on his face as Cheng Yuxin.

    On the fifth day of the lunar month, Cheng Yuxin’s parents came back from their hometown.Cheng Yuxin naturally wanted to go home to pay New Year greetings.Jiang Chen didn’t need Cheng Yuxin to say anything, he picked up the New Year’s goods and followed others into the elevator.

    Cheng Yu was filled with joy. On the way, Jiang Chen was driving. He sat in the passenger seat and couldn’t help but look in Jiang Chen’s direction. He was afraid of causing Jiang Chen to be distracted, so he sat up straight with a guilty conscience, but couldn’t help but look again.

    Jiang Chen naturally noticed it.He said warmly: “If you want to see it, just do it openly.”

    “What should I do if I’m distracted?”After all, she is still driving, and Cheng Yuxin, who had been in an accident, is particularly sensitive to this.

    “As long as you don’t want it, no.”

    No matter when or where, Jiang Chen’s promise is particularly effective for him.Cheng Yuxin looked confident and bold.

    My husband is so handsome!

    Jiang Chen had specially dressed up today, with an angular tie and a specially styled look. Compared to his usual wild and uninhibited appearance, he had a more cold and serious sense of asceticism.

    Cheng Yuxin just looked at it, her legs felt a little weak.

    Jiang Chen saw his lover’s blushing face with his peripheral vision, and his heart felt so beautiful that he felt as if he had flown to the sky.

    Maybe the weather is nice today and there are a lot of vehicles on the road.Shops on both sides of the road have customers coming in and out from time to time, and temporarily parked vehicles sometimes cause congestion.The two of them walked and stopped all the way, and arrived at Cheng’s house more than half an hour later than expected.

    Father Cheng was quite reasonable about this.Because he just left the house an hour ago to visit the handsome boy Bian Mu, whom he had fallen in love with years ago.As a result, we were stuck in traffic when we came back, and we only got in five minutes earlier than Cheng Yuxin and the others.

    Mrs. Cheng had already expected this: “Both of you, father and son, have nothing to worry about.”

    Cheng Zhishun was about to defend himself, but Mrs. Cheng continued: “You are the least worried.Then he put forward his own argument, “Don’t you want to move back to your hometown after the Lantern Festival?””

    “Yes, didn’t we all agree when we were in our hometown?Father Cheng asked, fearing that his wife would regret it.

    “Of course I have no objection.But you should at least tell your son.”

    It was indeed the first time that Cheng Yuxin heard her parents talk about this matter: “Has it been decided yet?Why so suddenly?”

    “Your dad plans to take the dog home after the Lantern Festival. He feels that the environment in our home is not conducive to the growth of the dog.This time I went back to my hometown and inspected the place in my hometown. I thought the dog would definitely like it.”Mrs. Cheng may have been holding it in for too long. She finished speaking in one breath and showed a helpless smile to her son. “Your status is about to be surpassed by the second child.”

    “That’s great.”After listening to her mother’s explanation of the cause and effect, Cheng Yuxin expressed her understanding. After all, raising pets is like raising children. Who doesn’t want to give their children the best.

    Mrs. Cheng originally wanted to say something, but when she saw the man standing straight next to her son, she still said nothing.During the Chinese New Year, she didn’t want to make herself unhappy.

    The family was chatting and laughing at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After the meal, with the blessing of the “Great Chinese New Year”, nothing seemed to happen.

    But when Cheng Yuxin said that he would also move after the new year, Mrs. Cheng couldn’t bear it anymore.Pulling his son away from the man, he whispered: “When your father and I return to our hometown, wouldn’t you like to live here by yourself?Why should you move to someone else’s house and be punished?”

    “Where are you angry, Mom?Cheng Yuxin smiled and said, “My daughter is still over there. I can’t abandon my husband and daughter.””

    “What daughter?Do you have a dog too?Mrs. Cheng asked.

    “No, it’s Fu Fu, Alf Ning Elizabeth Custer.”

    There was no need for her son to explain too much. Just by hearing the name, Mrs. Cheng knew which anime or game character it was.

    The corner of Mrs. Cheng’s mouth twitched: “Then you don’t care about your sons and daughters?”

    “Of course I have to!Am I not coming back to pick them up?”Even the room after returning home has been arranged.

    Seeing that her son had made up his mind, Mrs. Cheng stopped wasting her words and said, “Then you can move. If you feel homesick, you can come back anytime.”She didn’t have the nerve to say bluntly that if she was bullied by the boy named Jiang, she would go home directly. After all, no one wanted to let their children be wronged during the Chinese New Year.

    After leaving the Cheng family, Jiang Chen didn’t ask what Cheng Yuxin and Mrs. Cheng talked about. It wasn’t important to him.Instead of wasting time on this old lady, it would be better to spend more energy taking care of Cheng Yuxin’s “children”.

    Cheng Yuxin had so many peripherals that it was impossible to move them all at once.Jiang Chen suggested that he might as well just find a moving company.

    Cheng Yuxin was worried that her precious daughter and son would be left in the care of others, and insisted on moving it by herself.Jiang Chen could only become the exclusive driver for Cheng Yuxin and his children, accompanying Cheng Yuxin back and forth between Cheng’s home and his new home.

    After four or five trips back and forth, Cheng Yuxin finally succeeded in moving Cheng Yuxin’s babies to their new home before dark.

    While Cheng Yuxin was busy looking for a new place for her precious children, Jiang Chen was busy in the kitchen making dinner.At this time, the doorbell rang, and Cheng Yuxin, who was relatively close to the living room, ran over first. When he saw it, it was the courier again, holding a large box that was almost half a person’s height in his arms, almost completely blocking the courier’s face.

    Could it be something Jiang Chen bought?Cheng Yuxin pressed the elevator button and came to the elevator door in advance to wait.

    Cheng Yuxin guided the courier to put the box in the corridor in front of the door, disinfected it and ran back to the house to find Jiang Chen.Jiang Chen has already started the fire. Today’s dinner is still light, and the pot is full of green vegetables.

    “Husband, your express delivery has arrived.” Cheng Yuxin stood in front of the kitchen door and said without going in.

    When Jiang Chen heard that it was express delivery, he knew what was going on.”Baby, take it apart.”

    “What is it, husband?”

    “I forgot, please take it apart and take a look.”

    Cheng Yuxin obediently ran to unpack the express. There were many small, tightly wrapped items in the big box.The small pieces were carefully filled with foam paper.It looks like it should be something fragile.

    Cheng Yuxin randomly picked up a small item, which was not very heavy, and opened the layers of packaging, revealing the pink skirt.

    “It’s Fufu!” Cheng Yuxin happily recognized her daughter. She immediately moved her hands quickly and tore off the remaining foam paper. Sure enough, she saw Alf wearing a classic pink dress with an elegant skirt.

    It is an official limited-edition figure released at the end of the first season of the anime.It has long been out of print.

    Cheng Yuxin looked in the direction of the kitchen, her heart and eyes filled with burning love.

    He solemnly placed the limited edition Fu Fu in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf.Fufu in the pink dress is surrounded by other Fufu with different skins, colors, shapes, expressions and worldviews.

    This is a world that only belongs to Fufu.

    When dinner was served, Cheng Yuxin had already finished unpacking the newly arrived express delivery.He packed the empty packaging bags and shredded foam paper into the empty box, and the living room suddenly returned to its previous appearance.

    Jiang Chen served the dishes while inviting Cheng Yuxin to eat.

    Cheng Yuxin walked over obediently and kissed the side of Jiang Chen’s face while no one was paying attention.

    Jiang Chen paused and smiled softly at him.

    Cheng Yuxin said generously: “Husband, I’m so happy and I like you so much.”

    Jiang Chen turned around, turned around, hugged the person, and kissed his forehead: “Baby, I love you too.”

    Cheng Yuxin hugged him back naturally: “Why are you so nice?”

    Jiang Chen hugged him tighter: “You are so deceptive.”

    “I’m willing to let you lie.”

    As expected, dinner was postponed.After a full meal, Jiang Chen was in high spirits, and the eyes he looked at his lover became more and more affectionate and piercing.

    Cheng Yuxin felt a little embarrassed when he saw her, and her hands slowed down when picking up the rice.

    Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh when he saw it: “The baby is tired, let your husband feed you.”

    Cheng Yuxin’s face immediately turned red: “No, no need…” The hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

    Jiang Chen’s smile became gentler: “My wife, eat slowly while I prepare breakfast for tomorrow.”

    Zhiyu started work on the eighth day of the lunar month, and the tide sounded one day earlier than Zhiyu.He has to pack his luggage to go back to Licheng tomorrow.Jiang Chen was a little reluctant to let go, but there were some things that he had to return to Licheng to completely settle.

    Jiang Chen is preparing to cook yam and millet porridge. The yam needs to be processed in advance, peeled and cut into small sections, packed in a plastic bag and placed in the refrigerator.Just then, Cheng Yuxin came in with an empty bowl.Seeing Jiang Chen, he was still a little shy, but the blush on his face had faded a lot.

    Jiang Chen asked him if there was anything he wanted to eat tomorrow.He had to leave early the day after tomorrow, and he would definitely not have time to have dinner with Cheng Yuxin.

    Cheng Yuxin shook his head. He ate something different every day during the Spring Festival holiday. He was now completely Buddhist about eating.

    “Why don’t we go out to eat at noon? Go sing directly after eating.” Jiang Chen suggested.

    Cheng Yu thought for a while. Apart from going back to Cheng’s house during the Spring Festival, he stayed at home every day and didn’t leave the door a few times, so he nodded: “Okay.”

    After making this agreement, Jiang Chen took the dishes and chopsticks from Cheng Yuxin’s hand and put them into the dishwasher, then turned around and continued to fight with the unfinished yam.

    Cheng Yuxin thought of the precious children he had picked up from the Cheng family. They had been left out all afternoon because of the new daughter’s peripherals. Some of them had not yet found a suitable place and were being placed in the living room.Cheng Yuxin returned to the living room and continued to look for a new nest for the babies.

    When Jiang Chen packed up the kitchen and came out, Cheng Yuxin was still not finished. His large number of old loves and new loves he had just brought home occupied all the free space in the house, and the study could no longer be left alone.

    Seeing Jiang Chen, Cheng Yuxin immediately grasped at straws and asked for help: “Honey, can I put it in the bedroom?”

    Jiang Chen walked over and took a look. They were some pieces of paper and comic books packed in dust bags.There were a lot of them, and the square boxes over one meter wide were filled to the brim.

    The bedroom does have a shelf for storing miscellaneous items that is still empty.Jiang Chen lifted the heavy box: “Can I just put it on it?”

    “Well, just put it in the original position. I already arranged it when I packed the box.”

    “Okay.” After receiving the exact instructions, Jiang Chen immediately started working.According to Cheng Yuxin’s order, he put the pieces of paper and comic books on the shelf one by one.

    Note
