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: “…!!”
