The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

After entrusting the wedding to the three elders, Grandpa Deng and Grandpa Liu searched through the calendar and chose an auspicious day, setting the wedding of Xu Nian and Xu Xi for the latter half of January.

It just so happens to be Xu Xi's birthday, which is just around the corner.

Xu Nian also thought this was a very good day.

That hospital ward wedding also took place on Xu Xi's birthday.

On the same day more than ten years later, using happiness to repay the regrets of that year is not a bad idea.

After the four finalized the wedding details and Xu Nian's special requests, Xu Nian left the sanatorium, leaving the three elders to focus on planning the wedding arrangements.

On her way home, Xu Nian first sent messages to Qi Yu, Zhao Lin, and Wen Yao, inviting them to her and Xu Xi's upcoming wedding.

Upon learning this, the three immediately agreed and offered their blessings to Xu Nian.

A weight was lifted from my heart, and even the journey home felt much smoother.

As Xu Nian exits the winding and rugged mountain road, a smooth and happy life awaits her.

At the traffic light, Xu Nian gently placed her hand on the car window, feeling the gentle breeze and the sunset outside.

It started to rain; a few drops of fine, downy rain pattered against the car body, making a crisp sound.

In a daze, Xu Nian saw a disheveled boy.

He wore an old shirt soaked with sweat and rain, and his face was covered in dirt and wrinkles from hard work.

The boy looked up at Xu Nian, who was sitting in the expensive car, dressed in clean and presentable clothes, with a happy smile on her face. He smiled with satisfaction, revealing a set of white teeth under his dark skin.

Xu Nian rubbed her eyes and looked ahead again, but the boy was no longer there.

The green light came on, he smiled gently, slowly pressed the accelerator, and drove towards a happy future.

Goodbye, past.

May the wind blow away the frost on your head, the rain on your shoulders, and the bitterness under your feet.

......

When passing by the market, Xu Nian didn't forget to stop and buy a few pounds of fresh meat.

After all, he had promised Xu Xi that he would cook her something delicious that night.

"I'm back."

Pushing open the door, Xu Xi was sitting on the sofa, holding Mai Mai in her arms, gently swaying her arms, and softly humming a lullaby, as if she were practicing for the upcoming life of taking care of a baby.

Seeing Xu Nian return, she raised her head, glared at the man reproachfully, and said with a hint of playful annoyance, "Brother, I heard you're getting married. Congratulations!"

Xu Nian rubbed her nose, gave an embarrassed smile, sat down next to Xu Xi, and gently put her arm around her waist: "I also want to congratulate you! You're about to walk down the aisle."

Xu Xi pouted, gritted her teeth, and muttered, "Brother, you're going too far. We're getting married, and I'm the last one to know."

Xu Nian patted her hair and chuckled, "Well, I was thinking... I wanted to give you a surprise, wasn't I?"

"A surprise?" Xu Xi puffed out her cheeks and glared at the man. "I was knitting clothes for Mai Mai when Yao Yao and Lin Lin suddenly called me, asking for wedding invitations!"

"I was completely stunned! I even asked them what kind of wedding invitations they were talking about, and they laughed at me for ages!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian slapped her forehead, startled.

He originally planned to tell Xu Xi the good news in person when he got home, but his friends beat him to it, leaving Xu Xi, the protagonist of the wedding, embarrassed by the questions.

He scratched his head, looking guilty, and gave an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi. I didn't think it through. My head was all muddled. I should have told you first."

Xu Xi hummed softly, "Considering that my brother has been busy all afternoon for our wedding, I won't hold it against him."

After saying that, she changed the subject: "But, brother has to make it up to me!"

"Alright, alright, what kind of compensation do you want?"

Xu Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I want to eat pig's ears."

Hearing that it was such a simple request, Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Okay, I'll go out and buy it for you right now."

He had just stood up, ready to leave the house, when Xu Xi pressed him down.

Xu Xi tiptoed, wrapped her arms around the man's neck, then puffed out her cheeks angrily, like an angry little pufferfish, and bit Xu Nian's ear.

"hiss!"

Xu Nian subconsciously prepared to scream, but unexpectedly found that her ears did not hurt much.

It felt like I'd been bitten by a mosquito, itchy.

In addition, there is the warm breath of a young girl and the soft, smooth touch on the tip of the tongue.

Two and a half minutes later, Xu Xi released the man's ear, gently licked her lips, and looked slightly satisfied.

"Alright, we've finished eating the pig's ears. They tasted great."

Xu Nian rubbed the faint teeth marks left on her ear and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Little Stream, you know what? Actually, when it comes to food, there's something I really want to eat."

"What is that?"

"Hmm...I want to eat a sweet little cake."

"Cake? I bought quite a few when Linlin and I went shopping the other day. Wait a minute, brother, I'll go get them for you."

Xu Xi was just about to get up and go to the kitchen when suddenly her footing gave way and she was lifted up in a princess carry.

"Hey, brother, what are you doing?"

She looked at the man in front of her with a wicked grin, her face flushed with embarrassment, her tuft of hair on her head swayed wildly, and her two soft little feet waved incessantly in the air.

Xu Nian bent down, gently sniffed the sweet scent emanating from her, and gave a mischievous smile.

"What I want to eat, of course, is this sweet little cake in my arms."

"Hey, brother's a pervert! A creep! A big bad guy!"

Xu Xi shyly covered her face and thrashed about in the man's arms like a fish on the shore.

But her resistance was weak and feeble, and looked more like a coquettish act.

......

Two and a half hours later, on the large bed in the bedroom.

The girl nestled in the man's arms, her cheeks as red as a ripe apple.

Xu Nian gently stroked the silver-white hair on his back and habitually hugged Xu Xi a little tighter.

"Brother...brother, be gentle! You'll crush the baby!"

Xu Xi gently pushed the man away, scolding him playfully.

"Oh, right! Sorry, sorry!" Xu Nian quickly let go of her arm.

Xu Xi took the man's hand and looked at his face with a blush, muttering, "Brother, why did you suddenly think of preparing for a wedding? We're an old married couple, why bother with these complicated formalities..."

Xu Nian played with the small hand in her palm and smiled gently.

"Because we've been married for so long, and I haven't been able to give you a happy wedding, I feel... guilty."
