The two of them went to the balcony while Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting continued watching the television.
Occasional laughter and disjointed conversation could be heard from the balcony. At their age, they had common topics to talk about, so the two of them did not butt in and continued watching the television.
As Si Zhengting was watching the television, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. Upon looking over, he saw that Zhuang Nainai had fallen asleep and was leaning on his shoulder.
The dim light shone on her face and cast a shadow of her long eyelashes across it.
Her face was so close to his that he could see the fine hair on it.
Si Zhengting suddenly felt like everything was peaceful and well.
Carefully, he supported Zhuang Nainai and lifted her into a bridal carry.
After getting pregnant, Zhuang Nainai had gained over 10 kilograms. However, he still lifted her up easily. When he was heading upstairs, Ding Mengya extended her head out of the balcony and saw Si Zhengting immediately covering his mouth. Thus, she waved and let him send Zhuang Nainai upstairs.
Si Zhengting nodded at her and turned around. He had wanted to continue heading upstairs, but he stopped in his tracks suddenly.
Looking back at Ding Mengya, he felt simply that his heart was brimming with emotions that he could not vent. He pursed his lips before finally saying, “Mother, Happy Chinese New Year.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Mengya immediately beamed and sent him a flying kiss.
Si Zhengting’s lips curled up, and he carried Zhuang Nainai upstairs.
After opening the bedroom door, he placed Zhuang Nainai on the bed gently. He had wanted to cover Zhuang Nainai with a blanket carefully when she tossed her body in discomfort.
Si Zhengting jumped in shock and held his breath. Only after seeing that she had fallen back asleep again did he cover her with a blanket.
At this moment, the clock struck 12 am.
A new year had arrived.
The sounds of fireworks and firecrackers could be heard from outside.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Pow! Pow! Pow!”
All sorts of sounds of explosions resounded in the air. Awoken by the noise, Zhuang Nainai rubbed her eyes and looked outside the window drowsily before saying calmly, “What time is it?”
“12 am.” Si Zhengting was rather frustrated. He had been so careful, but she was still awoken by the 12 am celebration.
Upon hearing Si Zhengting’s answer, Zhuang Nainai immediately opened her eyes and got out of bed moments later. She rushed to the closet speedily, opened it, and whipped out a small box. Then, she handed it to Si Zhengting. “Si Zhengting, Happy Chinese New Year!”
After saying this, she looked up. Still half-awake, her small face was flushed and dazed. However, her voice was so crisp and nice, it could melt one’s heart. “Si Zhengting, I’m happy to be welcoming the new year with you again.”
Si Zhengting’s heart was immediately warmed. Smiling, he took the gift box and stretched out his arms to hug Zhuang Nainai. He paused for a moment before pulling out a gift box for Zhuang Nainai from his pocket as well.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up. She immediately took it while grinning.
Outside the window, the lights were waning and the fireworks and firecrackers were very colorful.
Inside the room, they were gazing at each other with smiles on their faces. As the lights were switched off, their cheeks were lit up intermittently along with the light from the fireworks outside. They looked at each other so earnestly, as if the chaos outside could never affect their world.
Thereafter, Zhuang Nainai heard Si Zhengting say, “Nainai, Happy Chinese New Year. I love you.”
As soon as Zhuang Nainai heard this, her eyes welled up. Thinking of the misunderstandings they had endured, she could not help but raise her head and look at Si Zhengting. After a while, she said, “What did you say? You were too soft, I didn’t hear anything!”
Si Zhengting: “…!!”
