That evening, it actually started snowing.

By the time daylight came, the snowflakes had already covered the ground, turning it into a silver world.

Early the next morning, the sound of firecrackers was incessant. Tong Xi was disturbed to the point of having a headache, reaching out to grab the quilt, wanting to cover her head to block out the annoying sound.

But what she touched was smooth and warm.

Uh... What is this?

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the mischievous yet alluring face in front of her, and immediately, the memories from last night came flooding back.

Tong Xi’s face flushed bright red.

Her heart began to race instantly.

Could she shrink back into the quilt and continue pretending to sleep?

But clearly, it was too late.

Yunqing was already awake. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Morning, wife!"

With a slight movement from her, he awoke and turned his head slowly, his eyes firmly fixated on the little woman before him.

The deep black eyes glittered with dazzling stars, making her feel slightly dizzy.

When Tong Xi regained her consciousness, she hurriedly pulled the quilt over herself.

"I want to sleep a little longer!"

Saying this, she turned around and burrowed deeper into the quilt... and deeper...

Yunqing had long noticed her yearning to evade him and wouldn’t allow her to have her way.

With a long arm, he embraced her and kept her from escaping.

His voice, laced with laughter, reached Tong Xi’s ears.

"Still wanting to sleep a little longer? We need to go wish Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt a happy new year! Or do you want to wait until later when they come knocking on the door?"

Tong Xi felt her mind buzzing loudly.

If they really came knocking and saw this scene... she’d be utterly embarrassed!

So, Tong Xi suddenly sat up and realized her clothes... uh, were all wrinkled into a mess, completely unwearable.

"It’s all your fault!"

Tong Xi angrily accused the man in front of her.

Yunqing smiled and pecked her cheek.

"Alright, I’ll go get you new ones!"

"Put some clothes on, or you’ll catch a cold!"

It’s the New Year, catching a cold would really be a loss!

Yunqing dressed leisurely, while Tong Xi was in the quilt, feeling a bit anxious.

At this rate, he’d take forever!

Weren’t they supposed to hurry up and go wish the elders? Or wait until everyone was up, and they still hadn’t left the room? That’d be truly awkward.

"Hey, can you hurry up a bit?"

Yunqing laughed, "Alright, I can!"

As Tong Xi was dressing, Yunqing stood there watching.

"You, turn your head away, you’re not allowed to look!"

Once Tong Xi was dressed and out of bed, Yunqing turned back, lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"Wife, let’s... get married soon! How about today? I can’t wait any longer."

Tong Xi was taken aback.

Get married soon!

"Come on, today’s New Year’s Day, the marriage office isn’t open!"

Yunqing: "..."

Uh, well, he was a bit too eager and completely overlooked this issue.

What to do? Only wait until the holiday ends, and they open for business to get it done...

Yunqing was slightly frustrated.

"Knowing this, we should have gotten the marriage certificate before the New Year!"

Seeing Yunqing’s expression, Tong Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy really is... quite impatient!
