A beautiful summer night

The night was enchanting in the depths of winter.

Xie Qiyan, like a pampered wife, went to bed early, while Xia Wanzhi spent two hours washing her hair, taking a shower, and doing a full skincare routine.

Every night at this time, Xie Qiyan could only watch Xia Wanzhi like a stone waiting for his wife, hoping for her favor.

Xia Wanzhi came and went frequently. Xie Qiyan watched her intently when she came in, and after she left, he skillfully opened an app on his phone, pondered for a moment, clicked a plus sign, and began editing text.

[The year is cold, the winter solstice has arrived.]

Commemorating the first Winter Solstice Festival spent with my beloved teacher, Maruko.

May you be free from worries year after year and enjoy good health every year.

The accompanying photo was taken from his angle, showing Xia Wanzhi's hand holding the bowl. That hand, slender and long, was holding a paintbrush and was so white it seemed to glow.

Even without showing her face, you can tell that his teacher, Maruko, is a princess-like beauty.

Within two minutes of the Weibo post, his more than two thousand followers went wild—

[Yo yo yo, Teacher Mu Xia is back online, spreading lovey-dovey moments again!]

Wow! Maruko-sensei must be so beautiful! As someone who's a hand fetishist, I'm completely smitten...

[Mu Xia, you must have saved the entire galaxy in your past life to win the heart of this beauty!]

[A sweet and soft little princess! Ahhh, I want to take her home!]

[Mu Xia, don't love her too much, hahaha!]

[I'm so envious! Maruko-sensei must be so happy.]

……

Xia Wanzhi hadn't come in yet. Xie Qiyan read the comments for a while, then only replied to one comment that said they envied Teacher Wanzi: "I'm the one who's very lucky."

His happiness was entirely given to him by Xia Wanzhi.

What he gave her was far from enough.

He initially registered this Weibo account to record everything related to Xia Wanzhi, but unexpectedly, he gained more and more followers as he posted, and he transformed into a love blogger. Some fans jokingly called it his love diary in the comments section, which Xie Qiyan did not deny.

Let's just call this a love diary.

On the internet, nobody knows anyone else.

Here, he is Mu Xia.

The character "慕" (mù) means to admire or yearn for, and the character "夏" (xià) means summer evening gardenia.

When Xia Wanzhi returned from her skincare routine, she saw Xie Qiyan staring intently at his phone. As soon as she approached, Xie Qiyan immediately turned off his phone and pulled the covers over her head to welcome her into his bed.

Xia Wanzhi stared at him suspiciously, and before she could react after getting into bed, Xie Qiyan pulled her into his arms and held her.

Xie Qiyan enjoyed reading the comments on Weibo praising her, especially the words like "fragrant and soft," which were quite accurate.

After taking a bath, Xia Wanzhi was more than just fragrant and soft.

"I've kept you waiting, Princess." Xie Qiyan's voice was hoarse.

Just as he was about to kiss her, Xia Wanzhi reached out and pressed his lips against hers, glaring at him fiercely: "Not interested."

With just three words, it was as if the favored Consort Xie had been cruelly banished to the cold palace.

This girl didn't hide anything. Noticing the resentment on her face, Xie Qiyan lifted her up a little and asked her very sincerely, "What did I do wrong? Please tell me, Princess, so I can apologize to you."

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

His refined manner prevented her from getting angry.

"Today I used your phone to search for the trailer of Jiang Baichuan's sister's new movie, and the first app I clicked on was your Weibo app." Xia Wanzhi didn't beat around the bush with him; since he wanted instructions, she would get straight to the point.

Xie Qiyan was clearly stunned for a moment, and this slight change in expression did not escape Xia Wanzhi's eyes. Seeing him like this, Xia Wanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, grabbed his neck and tackled him to the ground, gritting her teeth: "Xie Qiyan, what have you been doing behind my back! Tell me the truth!"

With a warm, soft body in his arms, Xie Qiyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

Xia Wanzhi, who was choking him, felt his reaction and immediately slapped him across the face: "Answer the question, don't think nonsense!"

She liked this face very much, so she didn't dare to overdo it.

Xie Qiyan chuckled, his hands tightening around her slender waist as he pulled her up a little, his voice as deep as ever: "Then don't move around."

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

It suddenly gets a bit hot.

"Don't change the subject." Xia Wanzhi glared at him unhappily.

Xie Qiyan grabbed her hand, which was about to move again, and told her the truth: "I wrote some diary entries."

what?

What is "日" (sun/day)?

Journal?

A domineering CEO keeps a diary?

Xia Wanzhi's expression went from surprise to disbelief to indescribable, and then to a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Xie Qiyan flicked her forehead helplessly: "Want to see?"

Locking up my diary is a habit.

But he didn't expect Xia Wanzhi to find out so quickly.

Xia Wanzhi laughed so hard she bent over, her forehead bumping against his chest. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how Xie Qiyan must have written a lot about her in his diary. So she kissed his face a few times.

"Mr. Xie, you really are—"

“So cute—”

She's absolutely in love with it.

Xie Qiyan's face darkened slightly: "..."

It doesn't really fit his image and persona.

Xie Qiyan pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his face away to hide his flushed face.

Xia Wanzhi smiled and turned his face towards her, affectionately pressing her forehead against his, and answered his question seriously: "You said it's a diary, why are you showing it to me?"

That was his little world, and it was enough for her to know that she was also in that little world.

The fact that he locked up that little world proves it's not time for her to know yet.

It was she who discovered it tonight, which seemed somewhat offensive.

Xie Qiyan nuzzled her nose and chuckled sweetly, "It's all about you and me in the diary, so there's no harm in showing it to you."

Xia Wanzhi raised an eyebrow: "You really want me to see it?"

Xie Qiyan was silent for a moment before saying, "It's a gift."

"Don't look at it now, save it for many years later." Xia Wanzhi smiled, then looked at him inquisitively and clicked her tongue lightly, "Xie Qiyan, you're quite something. If you ever make me angry, these diaries might just be your get-out-of-jail-free card."

Xie Qiyan shook his head: "No, I won't make you angry, and I won't use these as a get-out-of-jail-free card."

But he couldn't be too absolute, so he paused and slowly added, "I'll coax you if you're angry, you won't need anything else."

His eyes were so serious that Xia Wanzhi had no choice but to nod and say she believed him.

But this is not a perfunctory attitude.

Xia Wanzhi truly believed in him.

The next day, when I explained this to Yunli, she was stunned for half a minute before exclaiming, "Wow!": "Your man is actually a sentimental romantic."

Xia Wanzhi smiled and took a sip of hot coffee, but in her heart, she thought that this was proof that Xie Qiyan had devoted himself wholeheartedly to this relationship.

The events of his parents' generation hurt him deeply, making him sensitive. He disguises himself with an aloof exterior, but in reality, he is thoughtful, gentle, and considerate, sometimes like a naive child.

He cherished this relationship; he loved her very much.

Xia Wanzhi felt a lump in her throat as she thought about it, and while acquiescing to Yun Li's teasing, she laughed and said, "I like Xie Qiyan just the way he is."

She wanted to be good to Xie Qiyan for the rest of her life.

May Xie Qiyan become the happiest man in the world.

She wanted to be with Xie Qiyan forever.

Forever and ever.
