I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

Shu Zi turned back with satisfaction, teasing the cats and calling out their names, her tone full of undisguised joy.

Gu Yan leaned against the door frame, watching this scene, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up.

He took out his phone and snapped a picture of Shuzi, who was squatting on the ground playing with three kittens.

Hearing the shutter sound, Shu Zi looked up at him and asked, "Did you take a picture of me without my permission?"

"It was filmed openly and honestly."

Gu Yan put away his phone, a smile in his eyes, showing no sign of realizing he'd been caught.

Shu Zichong wrinkled her nose at him and chuckled.

At noon, the two went to the Shu family's old house for lunch, and the cold war between Shu Zi and Shu Baizhou finally came to an end during this meal.

In the evening, I went to the Gu family home and had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Gu.

By the time they left the Gu family home, it was already completely dark.

Back at Yunqi Platinum, Shu Zi unbuckled her seatbelt, yawned, and said sleepily, "Finally home."

The two took the elevator upstairs and changed into slippers in the entryway.

Shu Zi was about to go upstairs to see the cat when Gu Yan scooped her up from behind and pulled her into his arms.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "...What?"

Gu Yan lowered his head, his voice close to her ear: "Baby, look at me first, then look at the cat."

Before Shu Zi could speak, Gu Yan had already picked her up and placed her on the island platform, then lowered his head and kissed her.

His kiss slid from her lips to her neck. Shu Zi tilted her head back, her breath hitched, and her voice became slightly weak:

"...We've run out of supplies at home."

Gu Yan didn't stop, his voice slightly hoarse: "Yes, I bought it."

Shu Zi: "..."

She leaned back slightly, her ears turning bright red: "I haven't... taken a shower yet..."

Gu Yan chuckled softly and lifted her down from the island platform:

"Let's start in the bathroom tonight."

……

As night deepened, the bedroom light finally went out.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a pale white line on the floor.

In the cat house at the end of the second-floor corridor, three kittens were already huddled together in their new cat bed, fast asleep.

The next day, Shuzi woke up naturally.

She groggily turned over and reached out to touch the side of her; it was empty.

She opened her eyes, was dazed for a moment, rubbed her eyes, put on her pajamas, and got out of bed.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I heard faint noises coming from downstairs, mixed with a few soft meows from cats.

She walked to the top of the stairs, glanced down, and saw Gu Yan wearing a simple white T-shirt, squatting on the living room carpet with a can of cat food in his hand.

Three kittens surrounded his feet, meowing the loudest, while Boom Boom peeked out from behind, and Crispy had already skillfully settled on his slippers.

Shu Zi leaned against the stair railing, watching this scene, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up.

It looks like he carried the cat down from the second floor early this morning.

She had been worried that Gu Yan's icy personality would freeze the cat to death, but they got along quite well.

Gu Yan seemed to sense something and looked up.

In the morning light, his features were softened by the light: "Awake?"

Shu Zi nodded, walked down the stairs, squatted down next to him, and reached out to scratch Gaga's chin: "What time did you get up?"

"Seven o'clock."

Gu Yan placed the opened can of cat food on the ground, and the three kittens immediately gathered around it.

Shu Zi looked at him, paused for two seconds, and then said, "...You only slept for two hours?"

She was up until three or four in the morning last night and is now completely exhausted. He, on the other hand, got up at seven and is still feeding the cat with great energy.

Gu Yan stood up and raised an eyebrow.

Shu Zi: "...You have amazing stamina."

Gu Yan curled his lips into a smile: "Hasn't the baby already experienced whether I have good stamina or not?"

Shu Zi: "..."

She grabbed a cat toy from the side and threw it at him: "Good my ass, go feed your cat!"

Gu Yan caught it steadily, chuckled softly, and said, "Baby, do you know what it means to have trouble coming from your mouth?"

Shu Zi: "…………"

In the time that followed, Gu Yan's actions taught her a profound lesson about the meaning of "loose lips sink ships."

Moreover, it's the kind that combines pictures and text, and emphasizes the points repeatedly.

At night, Shuzi lay paralyzed on the bed, feeling even breathing was too tiring.

She stared at the ceiling, her voice hoarse as if it had been sanded, and only one thought occupied her mind—

Why was she being so sarcastic this morning?

The hand was still resting steadily on his waist, carrying a sense of leisure after satisfaction.

She turned her head and glanced at the person beside her who was breathing steadily and looking energetic, and her regret reached its peak.

She tried to move an inch to the edge of the bed, but the hand around her waist immediately tightened and pulled her back.

"Where to?" Gu Yan's voice carried a lazy smile.

"...Go write your own epitaph."

Shu Zi stared blankly at the ceiling. "Just write, 'This person died from talking too much.'"

Gu Yan chuckled softly, "Then I'll carve a line too, and write, 'The murderer is here.'"

Shu Zi was so angry that she punched him in the chest, but her strength was weak and it felt like a tickle.

She gave up struggling, closed her eyes, and muttered, "Gu Yan, you're not human."

"Yes," he replied frankly. "I'm your husband."

Shu Zi was speechless, so she buried her face in his chest and decided to be mute from now on.

At the same time, the hashtag #ForYouMyHeartIsFlutteringRe-aired# suddenly appeared at the top of Weibo's trending topics.

A few minutes ago, the official Weibo account of "For Your Heart" posted a new message:
