Gu Yuan stood beside the dining table, holding a bottle of carefully selected red wine in his hand.

His movements were calm and graceful, and every detail revealed his familiarity and respect for the task.

He gently wiped the bottle with a clean cloth to remove dust and fingerprints, ensuring that the red wine was presented in the best condition.

Then, he placed the wine bottle on a stable surface, held the bottleneck firmly with his left hand, and picked up a special wine corkscrew with his right hand.

The tip of the corkscrew was accurately aimed at the center of the cork. Gu Yuan slowly and firmly turned the handle of the corkscrew, and the corkscrew gradually penetrated into the cork.

His movements were both forceful and controlled, ensuring that the cork would not be damaged or any wood chips would fall into the wine.

When the auger completely penetrated the cork, Gu Yuan stopped rotating. He adjusted the position of the corkscrew so that the levers on both sides were stuck on the edge of the bottle mouth.

Then, he applied even force and used the principle of leverage to gently lift the handle of the corkscrew.

With a slight "pop" sound, the cork was pulled out smoothly without any shaking or splashing.

Gu Yuan then took out the cork and gently wiped the mouth of the bottle with a clean cloth again to prevent any tiny sawdust from remaining.

Instead of pouring the wine in a hurry, he let the red wine sit in the bottle for a while so that it could come into contact with the air and release its potential aroma.

Finally, Gu Yuan picked up a pre-prepared red wine glass, tilted the glass, and slowly poured in the red wine.

The wine flows along the wall of the glass, forming circles of elegant ripples.

He didn't pour much, only about one-third of the amount, in order to leave enough space for the aroma of the wine to fully evaporate.

After finishing all this, Gu Yuan looked at the red wine glass in his hand with satisfaction, then handed it to Jiang Ning who had been waiting for a long time with a smile.

There was a slight "pop" sound.

This marked the beginning of this warm evening.

The wine swirled in the glass, creating ripples. The deep red color looked particularly attractive under the light.

He carefully selected this bottle of red wine not only to pair it with the delicacies he cooked himself, but also to create a perfect dining atmosphere for Jiang Ning.

He remembered that Jiang Ning once half-jokingly said,

What she missed most was not the exquisite cuisine in those high-end restaurants, but the home-cooked meals he made for her at home.

Those simple yet loving flavors always touch the softest part of her heart.

Therefore, tonight, he decided to give up the convenience of dining out and cook by himself, just to give her a surprise so that she could enjoy the same treatment as in a five-star restaurant at home.

In the kitchen, Gu Yuan was busy and orderly. He was like an experienced chef, skillfully stir-frying the ingredients in the pot, and the aroma filled the air.

He prepared every dish with great care, from the selection of ingredients to the cooking time, all of which reflected his love for Jiang Ning and his passion for food.

When all the dishes were placed on the table, Gu Yuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He gently called Jiang Ning over, and they sat opposite each other. The red wine swayed gently in the glass, exuding a faint fruity aroma.

"Tonight, I prepared it especially for you."

Gu Yuan raised his glass, his eyes gleaming with tenderness.

“May our lives, like this bottle of red wine, become more fragrant and flavorful as it ages.”

Jiang Ning looked at him with emotion, raised his glass and clinked it with his, and the wine in the glass made a crisp sound.

She took a sip of the red wine; its mellow taste and complex aroma blossomed in her mouth, blending perfectly with Gu Yuan's cuisine, creating an indescribable wonderful experience.

Jiang Ning's face was filled with a happy smile, and she looked at Gu Yuan with love in her eyes.

"Thank you, Gu Yuan."

Jiang Ning said softly,

“All of this makes me feel extremely happy.”

Gu Yuan smiled, his eyes always stayed on Jiang Ning, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

"For you, everything is worth it." Gu Yuan said softly.

After dinner, Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning came to the living room and sat on the sofa enjoying the quiet time.

The stars outside the window are twinkling faintly, like pearls in the night sky.

Jiang Ning leaned her head on Gu Yuan's shoulder, and they admired the beautiful starry sky together.

"do you know?"

Jiang Ning suddenly spoke,

“Every time I see the stars, I’m reminded of the good times we had together.”

Gu Yuan held Jiang Ning's hand.

“We have many more wonderful times to come.”

On this starry night, Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning's hearts are closely connected. They look forward to the future together and believe that their love will shine forever like the stars.

At this moment, they don't need fancy words or expensive gifts, they just need each other's presence and the care from the heart.

In this simple and warm home, they created together a beautiful memory that belonged only to the two of them.
