The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Shen Qinghuai remained silent for about half a minute, looked at the living room which was not yet decorated, walked towards Lu Sui, cupped his face, and gently kissed his cream-covered lips. When their eyes met, Shen Qinghuai said, "The engagement ring."

Lu Sui held out his hand, showing Shen Qinghuai the plain ring on his finger. "You've already given it to me."

"no the same."

My hands are shaking.

"I'm a little nervous."

Why?

"Because I want to propose to you."

Lu Sui stayed in the apartment and didn't go out. He even slept in Shen Qinghuai's arms. When Shen Qinghuai was washing clothes, Lu Sui would squat down next to him and watch. Today, Chen Jingmo and Jiang Xiu took him out so that Shen Qinghuai would have time to prepare.

"So many balloons."

"Well, I wanted to decorate nicely and give you a surprise, but I've only prepared half of it so far."

"It's okay." Lu Sui fed Shen Qinghuai the ice cream in his hand, "But we can't get married."

"If you're willing to marry me, then we can get married. The proposal was just me showing you my attitude... That's all for today, next time—"

"No, you must wear the ring now."

Shen Qinghuai prepared a large gift box containing many of Lu Sui's favorite snacks and candies, which he had the deliveryman run to buy. There were also six aprons sewn by Shen Qinghuai, with various cartoon patterns on them. Lu Sui could wear whichever one he wanted when he was drawing. There were clean aprons every day, and Shen Qinghuai would wash them for him if they got dirty, so he wouldn't have to squat in the bathroom to scrub them himself.

When Lu Sui flipped to the bottom, he was somewhat stunned.

He saw his own photo.

In various places.

Apartment, amusement park, arcade, Wutong Town.

Many of the photos were candid shots. Lu Sui's eyes were always bright when he looked at Shen Qinghuai, a detail that Shen Qinghuai noticed even more clearly when flipping through the photo album.

Before Shen Qinghuai arrived, there wasn't a single photo of Lu Sui in the entire apartment, but the darkroom was full of his photos, even though it was because of surveillance.

Later, Shen Qinghuai developed the photos, carefully selected frames, and placed them in places where they could be seen at a glance.

Now, he has more photos of Lu Sui on his phone—cute, lively, and alluring—and Shen Qinghuai can look at each one for a long time.

"I'm so pretty, you're ugly."

"Am I ugly? Maybe I should get plastic surgery?"

"No," Lu Sui said, afraid that Shen Qinghuai would actually get plastic surgery. "I was just kidding."

He also said, "If you get plastic surgery, I won't want you anymore."

"I will never get plastic surgery, and you have to want me forever."

"Um."

The atmosphere was delightful. Shen Qinghuai picked up Lu Sui and gave him the champagne roses he had hidden.

bathroom.

Lu Sui was panting heavily from Shen Qinghuai's kiss. The rose in his hand kept shaking, but he held it tightly. The delicate petals were crushed and juice was squeezed out. The sweet rose scent continued to spread through the steam. The rose eventually fell to the ground and was picked up and put into the flower box.

But it seems there isn't a bottle in the bathroom...

When Chen Jingmo arrived home, Shi Qianqiu was still at work, not yet back.

He's been very busy lately—no, he's always been busy, but he's been even busier lately.

On my phone was a message from Shi Qianqiu: "My darling, are you back from your friend's house? Drive carefully on the road."

Sweetie: We're home. When are you coming back?

The other side quickly sent a message.

Shi Qianqiu: We'll have to wait a little longer.

Sweetie: Yeah, don't overwork yourself.

Shi Qianqiu: Kissing face jpg

My darling: Yaoyao.jpg

Chen Jingmo put her phone on the table, took off her shirt and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The water wasn't actually hot, but Chen Jingmo's eyes were still a little red from the fumes.

Two months and twenty-seven days together, Chen Jingmo still felt a little empty in his chest. Perhaps Shi Qianqiu's love was too restrained, so it couldn't fill Chen Jingmo's heart. He didn't know why he was being so sentimental. They were clearly together, and he could hear Shi Qianqiu calling him "baby" every day, but he always felt that the affection was very illusory.

He wanted to step into Shi Qianqiu's life and find out if she encountered any difficulties or felt unhappy at work, but Shi Qianqiu always faced him with a gentle expression and never mentioned these things, making Chen Jingmo feel like an outsider.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingmo almost laughed.

Shi Qianqiu has been so good to him, what is he asking for?

Should we send Shi Qianqiu to pluck stars from the sky for him?

Stop being unreasonable.

Chen Jingmo warned himself.

After leaving the bathroom, he opened a can of fruit wine, sat in front of the French windows and drank it without any enjoyment. He smacked his lips, brushed his teeth, washed and hung up his clothes, mopped the floor, and then lay on the bed and opened his chat with Lu Sui.

I wanted to ask him if he was happy today, and I wanted to tell him that I didn't mean to drag him outside to feed the mosquitoes, so he wouldn't be angry. But then I thought that at this time of day, the two of us should be doing something intimate, so I deleted all the words I typed.

After lying down for a while, Chen Jingmo reached under the covers, making sure not to get the covers dirty, and went to the bathroom.

Shi Qianqiu works very late at night. If it's a za, plus the time it takes to get there, it takes three or four hours. Chen Jingmo didn't want him to be so tired, so it's been seven or eight days since the last time.

Chen Jingmo leaned against the sink, panting softly, his eyes devoid of any hope. After a while, he looked up at himself in the mirror.

He has six-pack abs, thin shoulders, a narrow waist, and very fair skin. He's gained some weight compared to before, but he doesn't smile much lately.

He was unhappy.

But he knew why he was unhappy.

It's just that he feels Shi Qianqiu is too stingy, doesn't give enough affection, and doesn't have much possessiveness towards him. Even if he says he's going to a bar, Shi Qianqiu will only pat his head, tell him to come back early, be careful, and not talk to strangers.

The bar was a mixed bag of people. Shi Qianqiu was really not worried about him being seduced by someone else.

Hold.

I get angry.

However, Chen Jingmo dared not lose his temper in front of Shi Qianqiu.

It's hard to change a person's inferiority complex and habits. Just like how he didn't dare to provoke Shi Qianqiu, afraid that Shi Qianqiu would go abroad without saying a word. He was always very obedient. If Shi Qianqiu took the initiative to kiss him, he would respond. If Shi Qianqiu didn't take the initiative to kiss him, he would cleverly look for opportunities to ask Shi Qianqiu for a kiss. He felt that Shi Qianqiu liked him more during that time, so he would stay in Shi Qianqiu's arms for a while. He would also endure his own needs and calculate how much time Shi Qianqiu had before testing him again.

Shi Qianqiu wouldn't refuse Chen Jingmo, but at the same time, Shi Qianqiu didn't seem to have much desire for him, at least that's what he saw.

Chen Jingmo gave a bitter smile.

She complained to herself why she couldn't be as easily satisfied as she was when they first got together.

He stared at his plain fingers, thinking of the ring that had long been on Lu Sui's finger bones. He felt genuinely happy for Lu Sui, but also sad for himself.

Shi Qianqiu, when can we go public?

Do you also think that this relationship won't last very long?
