So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Chu Yu obediently perched on the man's shoulder, and followed him majestically across the pier to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

From a distance, it doesn't seem that the pavilion in the middle of the lake is small at all; it even has a room for resting.

Chu Yu was surprised when she entered the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

On the stone table in the center of the pavilion was a simple yet exquisite cake, along with some afternoon tea snacks and drinks that Chu Yu usually enjoyed.

Like the main building, there were no matching stone benches next to the stone table; instead, it seemed as if a comfortable chaise lounge had been specially placed for her.

Chu Yu turned her head and looked around. The pavilion was decorated with cozy decorations, in the same style as those in her bedroom.

She was momentarily stunned and looked at the man holding her with suspicion.

Yingying's eyes seemed to hold autumn water, both pure and alluring.

Shang Xuzhi met her gaze and paused for a moment.

She then explained in a low voice, "Chu Chu, today is my birthday."

Chu Yu's pupils widened in shock.

How could she forget about this!

When Xiao Naigao first gave her the storyline, she mentioned Shang Xuzhi's birthday. He used to not like celebrating his birthday, but his family would always arrange a family banquet for him.

He hasn't celebrated his birthday in five years.

Old Master Shang wanted to celebrate his birthday, but worried that it would bring up painful memories, so he gave up on the idea.

Shang Xuzhi never thought that there would be any surprises or changes to look forward to in his future life.

He lived in a stagnant, muddled state for five years.

This year, on a rainy summer afternoon, a small white cat ran towards him.

At that moment, the gears of fate finally began to turn slowly, carrying him toward his predetermined direction.

From the very first day he began his rehabilitation, he was planning which day to choose to implement this plan.

The little one certainly doesn't know his own birthday, and besides that, there aren't any other special days between the two of them.

After much thought, I finally decided to choose his birthday.

Let it be considered his rebirth.

Because of her arrival, he was reborn.

Shang Xuzhi had been planning for a long time, and everything was in place.

The only minor surprise was that this mischievous child suddenly turned back into a kitten today.

However, none of this matters.

Chu Yu was filled with regret; how could she have forgotten such an important moment!

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to show kindness and increase your affection points?

[Little Milk Cake, is it okay if I transform back into human form now?]

This is the first time she has used the method of using the little milk cake to switch forms on her own, and she doesn't quite understand many of the details yet.

Little Milk Cake was eagerly anticipating the surprise that was about to come, and without thinking, she said:

No!

With one person unifying the country, no one noticed any problems.

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.

Upon hearing Xiao Naigao's words, Chu Yu's mind stirred, and she instantly transformed into human form.

Shang Xuzhi was just about to talk to the baby.

The sensation in my palm suddenly changed.

The soft fur is gone.

Instead, it gives you smooth, silky skin.

Realizing what might have happened, the man looked down at his little baby in his arms, who also looked incredulous.

He knew at a glance that his silly little treasure had no idea about the problem.

The temperature was still quite high in the afternoon in September.

Shang Xuzhi was only wearing a thin set of home clothes at this moment.

Meanwhile, Chu Yu, who was completely naked in his arms, was trying to curl up into a small ball to cover her private parts and hide her face, which he had almost completely obscured.

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Is there any part of Xiao Bao's body that I haven't seen before?"

I've not only seen it, touched it, but also kissed it.

His little treasure already belongs entirely to him.

Chu Yu panicked, feeling both ashamed and anxious, and couldn't find a way to turn back into a kitten.

Shang Xuzhi gently comforted him, "Little Bao, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry."

The original plan had long been disrupted, so the man simply stood up with the little girl in his arms, took a few steps and sat down on the chaise lounge, which was large enough to accommodate both of them.

A comfortable soft quilt and a small blanket were placed on the chaise longue.

Shang Xuzhi held the person in one arm and unfolded the blanket with the other, carefully wrapping the person in his arms.

"It's okay, baby, it's alright now."

The man lowered his head and kissed the girl's forehead, patting her back gently as if comforting a child.

Chu Yu's cheeks were flushed as she slowly raised her head from the man's chest. Her fine hair was a little messy, and her dark eyes were filled with a shallow pool of water.

That pitiful look on her face after being bullied...

Shang Xuzhi slightly lowered his long eyelashes, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

Despite the awkwardness, Chu Yu didn't forget the important matter.

"Did you just carry me here!?"

The man couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead again, his voice low, "Yes, I'm all healed now, baby."

From now on, I can love you like a normal person.

What others can do, I can do too.

I can strive to do what others cannot.

I will give you my whole soul and body, my dearest girl.

Even though I already knew about it, seeing it with my own eyes still moved me.

Chu Yu's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little choked up, "That's great. Is there anything that's bothering you? Did Dr. An Chen give you a complete examination?"

She knew that he had secretly accelerated the entire rehabilitation process, and the excessive and continuous training would put unimaginable pressure on his body.

He never uttered a word of any of this to her, nor did he let her know a thing about it.

Shang Xuzhi gently comforted her, "Don't worry, baby. I've had a full check-up, and everything is normal. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

Those dark and hopeless years are now in the past.

Those days of gritting my teeth and getting through rehabilitation are over.

He has now fully recovered, both physically and mentally.

Finally, I can love her completely and healthily.

Hearing him say that, Chu Yu finally felt relieved. "So this is a birthday surprise for today?"

On his birthday, he prepared a birthday surprise for her?

Upon hearing this, Shang Xuzhi smiled and glanced meaningfully at the small blanket on Chu Yu's body.

Her tone was low and gentle, with a slight upturn at the end, "I really like the surprise my baby gave me."

Chu Yu: "..."

Can't we just pretend we've forgotten about it?

She shifted slightly, awkwardly tightening the small blanket wrapped around her, and snuggled closer to the man's chest.

Seeing this completely trusting and dependent look, Shang Xuzhi's pupils contracted slightly. His usually calm eyes were now like a deep sea in a landscape, surging with inexplicable and profound meaning.

He stopped teasing his sensitive little girl and lifted her up a bit to make her more comfortable.

"Today, I originally wanted to take advantage of my birthday to celebrate the recovery of my leg injury with my baby."

Chu Yu nodded, her voice sweet and soft: "Okay, but I haven't prepared a gift for you yet..."

By the end, his voice had become so low it was almost inaudible.

A warm palm suddenly pressed against her cheek, leading her to lift her head and face the man.

"Who said that?"

"The beginning is my best gift."
