So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"nothing."

Zhou You calmly put down his phone. "I just felt that Sister Bing was very cute just now, and she's perfect for making memes."

The emoji is called "Cute Candy.jpg"?

Chen Tangtang: "???"

"What emoji?"

"I'm praising Bing-jie for being so cute."

"Is that so?" Chen Tangtang asked, slightly puzzled.

“Of course that’s true.” Zhou You returned the reply with a sincere look.

Chen Tangtang blinked, believing it to be true, and happily climbed back into the car.

Zhou You took one last look at Yunlan Bay, then drove home with his beloved girls.

This was his first time traveling with a woman, and they even shared a room, slept in the same bed, and did *that* with each other for the past few nights…

They were intimate and sickeningly sweet.

It's said that before getting married, you should take a trip with your partner to a different place and environment so that you can see more details and differences in values. Although this trip had many unexpected events, it still made Zhou You and the older women more accepting of each other.

Even setting aside shared values ​​and interests, the thoughtfulness, consideration, and gentleness shown by each other during the trip are the best ways to enhance the relationship.

As we discussed before, he and they can probably start preparing to finalize their marriage plans.

He didn't want to keep them waiting too long. Things that needed to be done had to be done, even if there were still many things that hadn't been settled. He couldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Because other people are hindering the older sisters' happiness.

In the long river of time, how many people try to find their lost sword by marking the boat? But what truly feels distant is not time itself, but the person or events that have been missed.

Don't wait until it's too late to regret it.

The weather was the same when I left as when I arrived, clear and sunny.

Yun Mingyue was also sitting in the passenger seat, but unlike when she arrived, she didn't try anything fancy or compete with the other older women for attention.

Well, according to Sister Hua, what she did wasn't jealousy; she just felt like being close to her younger brother and definitely didn't mean to upset Ning Moxin.

When they first met, they admired each other and thought they could become best friends. Now, however, they have become enemies.

It has to be said, life is unpredictable.

As Yun Mingyue chatted with the others, and the car drove onto the highway, with the city receding behind them, she suddenly changed the subject.

Let's find a time to get engaged.

"Hmm?" *3

The remaining three all let out a soft sound of doubt, then seemed to be deep in thought. Except for Chen Tangtang, who was only pretending to be deep in thought because she saw Zhou You and Ning Moxin looking thoughtful.

She felt utterly alone.

"Don't you want to say something?" Yun Mingyue asked.

"I also want to marry my sisters as soon as possible." Zhou You nodded readily.

Faced with three such beautiful older sisters, he had absolutely no reason to hesitate about this matter.

"Then it's settled."

"After the engagement, we'll be the little god's brides?" Chen Tangtang stopped thinking and asked aloud.

"Pretty much. In our case, it's called an engagement, but it's really like a wedding. We'll have a banquet and invite a few relatives and friends. It doesn't have to be very grand, but we'll have everything we need," Yun Mingyue explained to Chen Tangtang in detail.

Chen Tangtang's eyes lit up, "That means I'll be wearing a wedding dress and with my little god."

She clasped her hands together, saying, "Whether in birth, old age, sickness, or death, whether rich or poor, whether in health or disease, whether in good times or bad..."

"Probably." Yun Mingyue hadn't thought about whether the wedding should be Western or Chinese; she felt either was fine.

"Hehehe~~ Tangtang will definitely be the most beautiful bride!" Chen Tangtang was already immersed in her own fantasy.

Upon hearing this, the other two older sisters simultaneously raised their eyebrows slightly.

The most beautiful brides can't pretend they didn't hear that.

Yes, it's her first and only wedding ever, so she definitely needs to dress up nicely.

Ideally, one should also outshine others and stand out from the crowd.

"Sister Bing will definitely be very beautiful then."

"Huh?!" *2

"Ahem, Sister Hua and Sister Mo will definitely be very beautiful too."

"Do you even need to tell me?"

"Perfunctory!"

"..."

Zhou You could only drive silently, saying nothing more.

He was originally going to ask if the wedding would be held separately, otherwise how would they have a proper wedding night? It would be so inconvenient!

Now, however, I dare not ask.

Amidst the chattering of the older girls, Zhou You drove back to the familiar city. He parked the car outside his house and looked at the house, which was already very familiar to him. He felt a strange warmth, like a wanderer returning home.

"We're home! We're home!"

Chen Tangtang jumped out of the car first and rushed towards the door.

"Chen Tangtang! You haven't taken your luggage yet!" Yun Mingyue shouted from behind.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Chen Tangtang quickly ran back.

Ning Moxin shook her head with a helpless yet amused expression, then took her luggage out of the trunk and glanced at Zhou You who was walking over.

"Tangtang has been making such a fuss ever since she came back, Xiaoyou, why don't you keep an eye on her?"

"We're all home now, so it's fine to relax. Let Sister Bing have some fun."

"..."

She looked at Chen Tangtang, who was standing in front of the car, chatting happily with Yun Mingyue; Yun Mingyue, who looked speechless but unloaded her luggage and handed it to Chen Tangtang; and Zhou You, who stepped forward to help them.

The group of people were huddled together, making a lot of noise, just like a family.

A faint smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

This feeling is wonderful.

…………

Since returning from the holiday, everyone could clearly feel that their relationships had changed.

Although we still sleep in separate rooms, we feel more and more like a family.

Several people's clothes were hanging together on the balcony. When the autumn wind blew, their cute underwear swayed in the wind. Then, just like they had done that night, they shamelessly huddled together and cuddled.

Chen Tangtang bought a calendar sometime ago and hung it on the wall. It was a pretty calendar with pictures, and she would diligently tear off a page every day.

She wouldn't throw away the torn-off calendar pages. She would hold a pen, rest her chin on her hand, and ponder for a while. On the back of the paper, she would write a few words in her beautiful handwriting. It might be her mood for the day, what delicious food Ning Moxin had made, or her resentment at being dragged out of bed by Yun Mingyue.

After doing all this, she would put them in a drawer for safekeeping.

Zhou You asked her why she kept these papers, and Chen Tangtang said that when they got married, she would take them all out and fold them into origami cranes, which would be the best record of their time together.

Who says Tangtang can't be romantic? Whether it's fireworks and Gatling guns or this calendar and origami cranes...aren't they all the ultimate in romance?

So, never tear off a page from the calendar for her, or she'll glare at you with resentful eyes all day long until the next day.

Not only Chen Tangtang, but Yun Mingyue and Ning Moxin have also been buying small items to decorate their rooms, their homes, and their wedding rooms recently.

The older sisters, who used to be a little reserved with each other, have recently become more and more harmonious. Sometimes, Yun Mingyue would even pull Ning Moxin along to learn to play the zither and flute, so that they could experience the profoundness of Chinese culture.

It seems that the story has evolved from "I'm probably sick, lying in bed unable to sleep, sitting up and quietly looking out the window, this sadness comes for no reason, looking sadly at the two pillows on the bedside table, one is mine, and the other is also mine," to having an older sister share a bed with me every night.

Perhaps life will soon enter the next phase.

It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for Zhou You.

Don't let Zhou You gain weight during autumn and winter, the season when older women are supposed to gain weight.

As the relationship heated up, things started to cool down in Hangzhou.

In mid-October, with the arrival of a cold front, the sweltering heat disappeared completely.

For the South, autumn is the most difficult season to detect; you don't know when it will arrive or when it will leave.

The cold wave brought the temperature down from 25 degrees Celsius to below 15 degrees Celsius, and for a week straight, it was rainy or cloudy during the day.

It was a bit cold when we woke up in the morning, and the older girls would wrap their legs around him, reluctant to leave, wanting to feel his warmth a little longer.

Zhou You held the increasingly affectionate older sister in his arms, helping them wash, groom, and clean their bodies, taking meticulous care of them—he was almost ready to help them urinate.

I almost spoiled my three older sisters during this period.

After the cold wave passed, the temperature didn't rise again, and November arrived uneventfully.

Chen Tangtang flipped through the calendar and exclaimed in surprise, "The 7th is the Beginning of Winter!"

"We should prepare some thicker blankets, because the temperature might drop below ten degrees Celsius next time a cold wave comes."

It's said that winter in the north is physical damage, while winter in the south is magical damage with occasional penetrating force, and the region sandwiched between the north and south, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, suffers even more.

Without the heating of the north, but with temperatures second only to the north, and the humidity of the south, winter is a truly unbearable and devastating experience.

"Below ten degrees? Isn't that very cold?"

Chen Tangtang's eyes darted around, "It feels like perfect weather for being lazy! It's the kind of weather that makes sleeping in so enjoyable!"

"Sister Hua will definitely come to wake you up, Sister Bing," Zhou You reminded her.

"Well……"

Chen Tangtang thought of Yun Mingyue, her body trembled slightly, then she clenched one hand, her gaze firm.

"If you don't sleep in late in winter, the whole winter is incomplete!"

"Pfft~~ Alright, alright, Sister Bing, hurry up and change your clothes." Zhou You shook his head and chuckled.
