It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Zhou Yinghuai himself felt that he was incredibly lucky.

With a casual flip, you can see Zhu Xi at several years old.

His outstretched hands were covered in mud, and his happy face was also speckled with mud.

The most eye-catching feature was the two missing front teeth, which completely overshadowed the charm of her crescent-shaped eyes.

Zhou Yinghuai stroked the girl's face in the photo with his fingertips, and his eyes unconsciously relaxed.

He sat on the ladder, his feet firmly planted on the solid steps.

The open pages of the book were still on his lap, but the photos were always in his hand.

He reluctantly placed the photo on the empty space on the bookshelf and put the old romance novels back in their original places.

I blindly picked another one that looked somewhat pleasing to the eye.

First, turn to the title page. The date at the bottom shows that it's been two years since the previous book.

The teenage girl, now two years older, wrote a few characters in a flamboyant style.

The lines quoted here reveal subtle emotions.

The boldness that sheds girlish sensibilities transforms into true poetry.

His words were filled with melancholy and sadness.

Compare the lines in the book.

Zhou Yinghuai could even tell from those few words that she must have been in a very good mood at the time.

The character "祝" in "祝禧" has a long, upward-pointing hook at the end.

Finally, I drew a small heart on the tip and used a red pen to color it into a full shape.

Zhou Yinghuai raised an eyebrow and folded a page of the book.

The pages flipped rapidly, finally stopping inside a seven-inch photograph.

It is also a wish for happiness.

The date is recorded below each photo.

At this time, Zhu Xi was only three years old. She was wearing a white and pink dress and holding a very large and round rainbow lollipop in her hand.

She wore a sunflower hair clip in her hair, its bright yellow color matching her smiling face.

I sat down next to the flower bed.

Well-behaved and cute.

Zhou Yinghuai felt that even the blooming flowers in the flowerbed behind her couldn't compare to that innocent, smiling face.

His raised eyebrows remained raised for a long time.

Close the book and look at the two photos side by side.

His gaze suddenly turned heavy.

In both photos, Zhu Xi is smiling.

But not all laughter is the same.

Zhu Xi undoubtedly grew up surrounded by love and affection.

But because of that lousy beggar's nonsense, he lost everything.

It's heartbreaking.

Zhou Yinghuai's relaxed brows furrowed as he suddenly realized the true purpose of Zhu He's search for the photos.

"Amazing, congratulations." He dialed the phone, still on the high ladder, "I saw it."

Congratulations, a smile playing on your lips. "You saw it?"

"I saw it."

Congratulations: "Zhou Yinghuai, I have great faith in your determination to treat Zhu Xi well. But..."

He paused, feeling guilty, "When I fell in love with Lezhi, even though I tried my best to be careful, I still couldn't help but neglect Xixi."

I rushed back to China this time and then rushed back again.

Despite the disappointment and resentment in the laboratory, the congratulations were only meant to be shared with Lezhi.

Even if he says east, Lezhi, who knows nothing, gives an irrelevant answer, saying he only knows northwest.

But upon hearing Lezhi's voice and seeing her feigned ignorance and stubborn expression, I was willing to forgive the whole world.

In the dead of night, the loneliness across the ocean is no longer simply eased by Zhu Xi's repeated calls of "brother".

The weight of the product is mostly due to the presence of the product.

"Zhou Yinghuai, I can no longer devote all my attention to Xixi. So, I beg you to give her your 100% love and affection."

Congratulations, albeit with self-deprecation: "Lingyi has a husband who loves and dotes on her, and she has the same doting and indulgent love from her uncle and aunt. So, please, give some more to Xixi."

Such an absurd request is hard to accept even if I were to say it myself.

But he was just an ordinary person.

"I will," Zhou Yinghuai replied in a deep voice.

Congratulations! He switched hands to hold the phone, his gaze settling on the shimmering lake in the distance. "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for! A good man doesn't marry two women!" Zhou Yinghuai smirked. "Just a reminder, he proposes on one knee."

Zhuhe smiled calmly and said, "Find the photo I need."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Just tell me which row it is!"

"Let me think," Zhu He thought for about ten seconds, then finally said casually, "I forgot."

He glanced down at his watch. "There are still five hours until dawn. You can flip through a book every three seconds, which is just enough time!"

"Trust me, there will be plenty of surprises for you."

Zhou Yinghuai: "..."

-

As dawn broke, the sky was filled with the glow of morning clouds.

Zhu Xi, who had been busy all night, finally had a chance to catch her breath and saw the message that Zhou Yinghuai had sent her at 5:20.

Zhou Yinghuai: [I miss you so much.]

Zhu Xi lay on her desk, looking at the four heartwarming words, waiting for Zhou Yinghuai to connect the video call.

At that time, Zhou Yinghuai was still in his study.

I was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell.

A special ringtone for wishing you happiness.

He returned from the window to his desk, but hesitated again just as he was about to answer the call.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands and took it off completely.

The video call had ended, so he dialed it again.

Zhu Xi answered almost instantly.

A muscular white figure came into view. She smiled blatantly, "Wow, where did this young master come from, waking up so early!"

Zhou Yinghuai chuckled. "Where did this doctor come from, specifically targeting the young master? Perhaps he's only interested in my good looks?"

"I don't like someone who isn't handsome," Zhu Xi snorted, resting her chin on her hand. "Zhou Yinghuai, I'm so tired."

Unbeknownst to Zhu Xi, Zhou Yinghuai had also not slept all night.

He smiled gently. "I'll bring you breakfast."

"Just breakfast? That's no fun." Zhu Xi kept looking at him, feeling thirsty and wanting to drink water, but her water glass was empty.

Zhou Yinghuai saw through it but didn't say anything, "Let me recharge your batteries."

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks but didn't bother to get any water. "How am I supposed to fill it up?"

"A kiss?"

"hug?"

"Lift them up high?"

Zhou Yinghuai spoke several sentences in a row, and finally made the final decision, "Let me let you touch my abs again."

Zhu Xi chuckled, "Forget it. Don't come. Your coming will only make me feel worse."

"Um?"

"It's most painful to see something you can't have," Zhu Xi snorted. "I'm hanging up now. Go drink some ice water to calm down."

The video call ended.

Zhou Yinghuai recorded a video in a showy manner.

It was a slightly yellow, borderline video veiled in a thin layer of gauze, and Zhu Xi drank bottle after bottle of ice water.

Zhou Yinghuai stared at the computer screen, his eyes filled with satiated desire.

Zhou Yinghuai looked at the countless past Zhu Xis, their eyes bright and expressive.

Beautiful, sunny, and radiant.

He packed all the photos and handed them to Xiaozhou, updating the instructions several times in succession.

Xiao Zhou slowly updated the photos, while he stared intently at the pictures in his hand.

The house is quiet, and Xiaozhou is working hard.

Finally, as the sun transformed the floral patterns on the window screen into vibrant, dancing silhouettes, the dynamic Zhu Xi also came alive on Zhou Yinghuai's screen.

He sat in the high-backed chair, occasionally glancing at the screen, but spending most of his time looking at the photo of Zhu Xi, who was holding a microphone and hosting the event.

She smiled confidently and radiantly, her head adorned with golden ribbons.

Zhou Yinghuai smiled as he watched.

On the other side of the diagonal, next to Zhu Xi, in the pretentious depths of summer, stood his equally cold brows.

Zhou Yinghuai suddenly realized that the gears of fate may have already started turning.
