Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Early in the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, the warm winter sun had not yet completely dispelled the chill of the night, and the Gu family villa was shrouded in a layer of quiet frost.

Gu Fanxing was still snuggling in the warm bed, half asleep and half awake, when the sudden doorbell rang like a series of rapid drum beats, breaking the tranquility without warning and ringing persistently.

"Who is it? So early in the morning, disturbing my sweet sleep." Gu Fanxing muttered, climbed out of bed sleepily, put on a thick cotton coat casually, put on slippers, and hurried to the door.

She was full of doubts. Who could be visiting at this time? In previous years, relatives rarely came so early to pay New Year's greetings. Could it be that the courier had found the wrong door?

The moment she opened the door, the scene before her suddenly made her wake up.

I saw Xiao Fangfei standing at the door, her hands full of bags, her signature bright smile on her face, and her eyes sparkling as if hiding countless stars.

"Xingxing, Happy New Year!" Xiao Fangfei's clear voice rang out. The next second, she dropped the gift in her hand and gave Gu Fanxing a tight bear hug. Her enthusiasm almost made Gu Fanxing stumble.

Gu Fanxing was stunned at first, then reacted, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, the confusion in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise, his arms subconsciously hugged Xiao Fangfei back, and he smiled happily: "Fangfei, why did you come here suddenly! You didn't even tell me in advance and scared me so early in the morning."

Xiao Fangfei let go of Gu Fanxing, pinched her cheeks affectionately with both hands, and pretended to be angry and said: "I just want to give you a surprise! If I told you in advance, it wouldn't have been so effective. Besides, when I go back to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I will come to your place first. We are closer than real sisters."

As they were talking, the grandmother in the room heard the noise and slowly walked out.

Grandma was wearing a thick dark red jacket, her face was full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles carved by the years on her face were now full of tenderness.

"Oh, it's Fangfei. Come in quickly. It's cold outside." Grandma greeted her warmly, her voice full of uncontrollable joy.

Xiao Fangfei took a few steps forward, took her grandmother's arm, and said sweetly, "Grandma, Happy New Year! I missed you so much that I came here early to wish you a happy new year." Then, she picked up the gift bag and shook it, "I brought you some nourishing nutritional supplements and your favorite cakes, all carefully selected by me."

Grandma patted Xiao Fangfei's hand gently and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, you are thoughtful. As long as you can come to see grandma often, grandma will be happy, no matter what gifts you give her."

The three of them walked into the living room together. Xiao Fangfei put the gifts away one by one, and then pulled Gu Fanxing to sit on the sofa. She kept looking at her and kept muttering, "Xingxing, you look so slim, have you lost weight?"

Gu Fanxing smiled helplessly: "How could that be? I guess it's because I wear too many clothes in winter, so I look thin. But you look very energetic and radiant. Did you win the lottery?"

Xiao Fangfei giggled and began to vividly talk about her recent interesting experiences: "Almost. Let me tell you, I went to a holiday resort in the suburbs with my fellow riders some time ago. It was a great place with hot springs, a horse farm, and various fun expansion projects. We had a lot of fun, and even had a bonfire party at night. I even sang on stage and almost became the recognized 'king of songs'."

Gu Fanxing listened with great interest. In her mind, she imagined Xiao Fangfei's energetic appearance on the stage. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "With your voice, you are the 'king of singing'. Didn't you scare everyone away?"

"Hey, don't underestimate me. My song "Little Lucky" received a lot of applause, and my colleagues all praised me for singing with emotion." Xiao Fangfei pretended to be angry and reached out to hit Gu Fanxing lightly.

Grandma watched the two girls laughing and playing, with a happy smile on her face. She would interject from time to time: "You young people are full of energy. Grandma feels happy just watching you. Fangfei, if you have any fun things in the future, come and tell grandma and Fanxing more often."

"Don't worry, grandma, I will come often. By the way, Fanxing, I also brought you a special gift." Xiao Fangfei seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a flat wooden box from her bag mysteriously. The box was antique, with delicate and intricate patterns engraved on the surface, and it faintly exuded a light sandalwood scent.

Gu Fanxing took it curiously, gently opened the box, and saw a beautifully bound notebook lying quietly inside.

The cover is embossed with a pattern of a brilliant starry sky, which complements Gu Fanxing's name, and the stars sparkle in the light.

Turning to the inner pages, she saw small shooting stars in different poses carefully hand-painted on the edges of each page. What surprised Gu Fanxing the most was that it contained a dense record of every detail of their acquaintance.

Those past moments were vividly reproduced by Xiao Fangfei with smart words and playful sketches - there was the scene where the two met for the first time on the school playground and fought for a seat under the shade of a tree; there was the funny scene where Xiao Fangfei skipped classes to take care of Gu Fanxing when she was sick, and frantically cooked porridge by the bed, making her face covered with coal dust; there was also the passionate moment when the two stayed up late together to prepare for the exam, cheered each other up, and finally both got good grades and hugged and cried...

Gu Fanxing's fingers gently stroked the words and pictures, his eyes gradually became moist, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Fangfei looked at her and said softly, "Fanxing, this notebook is full of our memories. I hope it can accompany you in the new year. No matter what troubles you encounter, just open it and you will know that our friendship is hard-earned."

Gu Fanxing sniffed and nodded vigorously, her voice choking with sobs: "Fang Fei, thank you, this is the most precious gift I have ever received, I will definitely treasure it."

"Why are you being so polite to me? We shouldn't talk about these things between sisters." Xiao Fang leaned close to Gu Fanxing and said.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Fangfei seemed to suddenly remember something and said excitedly: "Fanxing, we haven't taken photos for a long time. Let's take a few photos together while we are happy today as a souvenir."

"Okay." Gu Fanxing agreed readily.

The two of them stood next to their grandmother, posed, and took many photos in a row, changing the angles. In each photo, the three of them were all smiling and full of happiness.

Gu Fanxing leaned on Xiao Fangfei's shoulder, looking at the photo of himself and his grandmother, his heart filled with emotion and warmth.

The second day of the Chinese New Year this year became extra special and warm because of Xiao Fangfei's arrival.

Time passed quietly during the pleasant conversation, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fangfei glanced at the time, stood up and said, "Grandma, Fanxing, it's already noon, I'll go cook. Today I have to see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."

Grandma waved her hands quickly: "No, no, you came all the way here, just sit down and rest for a while, let Fanxing do it."

Xiao Fangfei refused: "Grandma, please don't be polite to me. I'm not tired. Besides, I want to tinker in the kitchen with Fanxing. We haven't cooked together for a long time."

Gu Fanxing also smiled and said, "Grandma, let Fei'er go. We can learn cooking skills from each other."

Grandma couldn't persuade the two of them, so she nodded in agreement.

So, Xiao Fangfei and Gu Fanxing walked into the kitchen arm in arm.

While humming a little tune, the two of them divided the work tacitly and cooperated with each other, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and putting them in the pot, and they were busy and happy.

I believe that it won’t take long before they serve a table of delicious dishes, and then the three of them sit around the table and enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure brought by the food, filling the entire restaurant with laughter and joy…
