Summer, 2026, the fourth year after marriage.
The seasons cycle endlessly, and it’s another midsummer year with the chirping of cicadas.
The sun shone through the shade of the trees and fell on the gravel path, and the gentle breeze brought the fragrance of the flowers into this exquisite three-story building.
A little girl about twelve years old, wearing a short pea-green skirt, with a fair face and a pair of big watery eyes under her curved eyebrows, walked lightly and cheerfully, and ran into the yard excitedly.
"Bai Xiaomeng! Chen Xiangning! Are you at home?"
"Meow!"
Hearing her cry, a group of fluffy kittens ran out of the house, bumped into her arms, and nuzzled her affectionately.
Bai Xiaomeng is eight years old this year. She looks nothing like an old cat. Her hair is as soft and clean as a dandelion, and her little paws are pink and tender, making her look particularly new.
"Xiaomeng, you're heavy again!"
"Meow wow?"
My mouth is buzzing day by day, and I always say that my cat is overweight. Six years have passed. Who can be as slim, young and beautiful as this little cat
I walked in with the cat in my arms. As I approached the room, a 3D projection appeared in front of me. It was extremely solid. It was a cute girl wearing a maid outfit, with white cat ears and big sapphire eyes. , looks very cute.
"Xiao Meng No. 1! You have new clothes!"
"No, I just didn't wear stockings today..."
Su Zhifu squatted down and looked up curiously from under her skirt.
Xiaomeng No. 1's face turned red, she quickly covered her skirt and said angrily: "Puff, what are you doing!"
"Keke, I'm just curious. Mommy said girls should be reserved and learn to be virtuous like Sister Lixiang!"
"Li Xiang is playing with Xiang Ning in the room."
"Is Brother Shenyu at home?"
"He'll be back in a while. He has to finish today's work. The company is about to go public. He also has to attend the wedding of Director Ke and Director Zhao at noon."
The second floor is where you usually live. Neat tables and chairs, fresh air, everything is in order and spotless.
From time to time, the giggles of mother and daughter can be heard.
The beautiful young woman is twenty-six years old this year and is already the mother of a two-year-old daughter. She is sitting on the sofa, with a lock of beautiful black hair flowing down like a waterfall. Her skin is still as white and smooth as a girl's, and her figure is graceful and slender. It's a little more charming than six years ago, but it shows a different kind of style.
She sometimes covered her face with her hands and counted in a loud voice, "One, two, three, face change~ change~!" 'Then he opened it and smiled happily at his good daughter sitting on his knees, his eyes curled like crescent moons.
"Hehehehe~! More! More!"
Chen Xiangning was immediately amused. Her chubby little face and big, half-closed eyes when she smiled looked particularly like hers. Her tall nose looked like Shen Yu. She smiled silly, and her short legs and short hands waved happily. She was so small, one of Lixiang's fingers was enough for her to hold tightly with her little hands.
The elders who have seen Xiang Ning said that they have never seen a baby who loves to laugh so much. If someone teases her, she can smile and have fun all by herself.
She is also very well-behaved at ordinary times and is very easy to carry around. Her favorite thing is that when the family goes for a walk in the evening, she can ride on her father's neck and she feels so high!
Xiang Ning is very smart. She was able to call mom and dad fluently when she was eight months old. Now she is two years old, can run, jump, and speaks very fluently.
Her favorite thing is to play with cats. With Bai Xiaomeng sleeping with her, she no longer sleeps with her parents.
"Then let's play on the slide, okay?"
"good!"
Li Xiang picked up her good daughter, turned her around, and brought her two slender and smooth legs together. Xiang Ning sat on her lap. As soon as she let go, she slid down her legs.
"Giggle!"
Xiang Ning's arrival was undoubtedly the happiest thing in their lives for Shen Yu and Li Xiang. The two fell in love with each other and had their children, and suddenly they felt that their lives were complete.
For Li Xiang and Xiang Ning, mother and daughter, Shen Yu is the best husband and father in the world.
I still remember that after Lixiang’s pregnancy was confirmed, he was as happy as a child. In the early stages of pregnancy, Lixiang would suffer from morning sickness from time to time, but he was so nervous that he would get up in the middle of the night to boil hot water for her, or just hold her and gently Patting her shoulder to lull her to sleep.
Then on the day Xiang Ning was born, it took a total of twelve hours from the time when the amniotic fluid broke at 4 a.m. to the time of birth. Shen Yu accompanied her throughout the whole process and was busy going through the formalities.
The doctor said, go buy some porridge, she can drink it after giving birth. He ran out of the hospital, but when he came back from buying porridge, Li Xiang had already entered the delivery room, and he was locked out and could not get in again.
The most frightening moment that Li Xiang had ever experienced was when she was alone and endured the intense labor pains while exerting force on her vagina. She was indescribably scared. She wished that he could be by her side. But now that she thinks about it, she is glad that the doctor rushed him away at that time. She made the choice to leave, not letting him see her face that was so painful that she was deformed. Compared with those feelings, she was even more reluctant to let him feel distressed.
As the loud cry came out, Li Xiang felt relieved. Her loneliness and fear were replaced by a sense of accomplishment. She and Shen Yu had a child and became parents.
She didn't dare to fall asleep and persisted until she reached the delivery room. She saw him rushing up to her like crazy, grabbing her hand and calling her name.
At that moment, Li Xiang had only one feeling in her heart: everything was worth it.
On the night after giving birth to Xiang Ning, he still insisted on staying with her. Even when Li Xiang went to the bathroom, he would stand by the door and help her wipe her body with a hot towel.
During the three days he was hospitalized, he stayed with her until noon every night. He went home and brought soup made by his mother. When she was sleeping, he slept lightly next to her bed for two hours.
Every time Li Xiang asked him to go back to rest, he refused to leave. There was only one reason: you worked harder than me. When I think of what you endured in the delivery room, this is the only way I can feel better.
"Xiang Ning is very well-behaved. Her eyes look very much like yours, and she smiles... Hahaha."
"Husband, husband, sit here and let mom take a picture of us."
"Oh, you have a good rest..."
"Hurry up!"
"Husband, can we give Xiang Ning a younger brother and sister next year?"
"No, no, I feel bad for you to see how hard you are working."
"I want to give birth..."
"Besides, I'm going to get a sterilization. No one can persuade me."
After bringing the mother and daughter home, Shen Yu became a super daddy. He was the one who put her to sleep, breastfed and changed diapers. He waited until Li Xiang's body recovered completely before he returned to work in the company. I have never gotten off work late, no matter how important the client is. At 12 noon and 6 pm, the first thing I do is go home to be with Li Xiang and her daughter.
Li Xiang has never been so happy. The most correct choice in this life is him.
Shen Yu has not forgotten the promise he made to Li Xiang. Every New Year, cherry blossom season, and fireworks festival, he will take mother and daughter back to Yokohama to stay for a while.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law also come to Sunan to visit their daughter three times a year. Xiang Ning can speak Japanese, which makes Kazuo Asaba and Miori happy when they call her grandparents.
Xiang Ning is now two years old. She is usually very well-behaved. She will tell herself when she is hungry and tell her mother when she feels uncomfortable. Taking care of her is much easier than before. Li Xiang has become a full-time mother at home. In her free time, this comic is I picked it up, copied the manuscripts that Songdao had been editing for four years, and finally started serializing it.
In terms of personality, Xiang Ning is more like her mother. In terms of intelligence, she is more like her father. She is especially good at recognizing roads and people. She often goes out for a walk in the evening after the family has eaten. Sometimes the routes they take are different, and she will say "Eh" 'Tell your mother: Today is different! Then Li Xiang looked left and right in confusion: What's the difference
Su Zhifu ran up with Bai Xiaomeng in her arms and shouted from a distance: "Xiang Ning!"
"Sister Puff!"
Xiao Xiangning was even happier when she saw her playmate. She climbed down from her mother's long legs, ran towards her on her short legs, and was then picked up by Su Zhifu.
"Sister Rika!"
Su Zhifu hugged Xiang Ning and felt like she had become her mother. She had grown very tall now, over 1.5 meters tall. In a little while, she would be a big girl over 1.6 meters tall.
The child's character has not changed much over the years. She still grows garlic, onions and sweet potatoes in the yard, harvesting one crop after another.
"Puff, are you on vacation?"
"Yeah! After this summer vacation, I will go to junior high school!"
Time really flies by. Li Xiang did the math. She happened to come to China to study six years ago. At that time, Puff was only in the first grade. She still remembers the day school started. She lost a bet with Shen Yu and ran back to the yard to pull weeds. I cried while pulling weeds, and in the blink of an eye I was in junior high school.
"Then you won't go back to your hometown this year?"
"Come back, I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll catch Xiang Ning's cicadas then! Xiang Ning, Xiang Ning, do you want to catch cicadas? They're so big, they're so big, and they're delicious when grilled..."
"Yes! Yes!"
Xiangning danced with excitement when she heard that Sister Puff was going to catch cicadas for her. Although she didn't know what the cicadas looked like, she said they were delicious.
Li Xiang went to the kitchen to cut watermelon for them to eat, while Su Zhifu, Xiang Ning and Bai Xiaomeng played with small balls together. You pushed them here and I pushed them back.
Ever since Xiang Ning was born, Bai Xiaomeng has been Xiang Ning's exclusive beast. He dotes on her very much. When he sees her climbing high and jumping around, he is so frightened that he immediately drags her away by the corner of her clothes. Anyway, he wants to fight with Li Xiang. If the husband can't take her away, he can take over his daughter. He can play with her during the day and sleep with her at night. It would be great to use the cat's soft body as a pillow.
Shen Yu got off work early today. He went to the company to explain his work in the morning and returned home at around ten o'clock.
He looks much more mature than he did six years ago. He is wearing the clothes that Rika matched for him. His hairstyle has also changed a little from before. It is combed back in a mature way. He is even more handsome than before. A sense of calm.
Shen Yu is now not only a son, but also a husband and a father. Things he never thought of when he was young have made his most fulfilling life today.
When Li Xiang wakes up every day, she can smile carefree at him, put on a suit and tie for him, send him out, and then look forward to his return.
He did everything he could and fulfilled all the promises he made to Rika.
Shen Yu is not good at words, but with his actions, he proves that Li Xiang has the best vision in the world.
"I'm back."
"dad!"
When Xiang Ning, who was playing, saw him, her eyes immediately opened up into a smile, and she stumbled into his arms.
"Hey, Xiang Ning, are you good this morning?"
"Super good!"
Chen Yu knelt down and picked her up, letting her sit on the crook of his strong arm. Li Xiang also walked towards him with a sweet smile.
"Husband~!"
Chen Yu freed up his other hand and held his beloved Li Xiang in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.
"Oh, Puff is watching..."
"Sister Rika is blushing!!"
Su Zhifu jumped out from the side, scratched her face with her fingers, and snickered.
"Hmph, Brother Shenyu will bully Sister Lixiang! I've seen it many times!"
Su Zhifu couldn't understand why she was really that happy just by kissing and hugging her. Especially Sister Lixiang, who was obviously being bullied by Brother Shenyu, but she looked like she was enjoying it.
The most profound impact was the night when Brother Shen Yu proposed to Sister Li Xiang five years ago. When she saw them kissing selflessly, Puff, who was only seven years old, was shocked. It was the first time that she saw in reality what she saw in the TV series. As soon as it appeared, Mommy would cover her eyes to prevent her from watching the plot.
"Have you finished your summer homework?"
"We just had a vacation!"
"If I run into you, I'll tell your mother to let her beat you up."
"Luanluanluo, I don't want to fall in love."
Chen Yu called his daughter a good girl and put her down to play with Bai Xiaomeng and Su Zhifu. He and Li Xiang returned to the room.
Li Xiang opened the drawer, took out the red envelope, and wrote her name and congratulations. Li Xiang was changing clothes. Later, they were going to attend the wedding banquet of Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage.
When they got married four years ago, the best man and bridesmaid were Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage. Now they can no longer be the best man and bridesmaid. Of course, they are not idle. They have been busy helping them get married in the past few days. Today at noon As close friends, I went to witness the wedding of Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage.
"Honey, does this look good?"
"You look good in anything you wear."
"Choose one."
"Just that skirt."
They were already an old couple, but when Li Xiang changed her clothes in front of him, she was still a little shy. She turned her back to him and took off her clothes one by one, revealing her graceful figure.
A hot breath approached from behind, holding her in his arms, and his big hands naturally fell to the soft place, caressing her gently.
His lips kissed the back of her neck and earlobes. At this age, Rika was even more admirable.
"Um… "
Li Xiang snorted, her body softened, and she leaned into his arms, and the two of them fell down.
After a brief intimacy, Shen Yu hugged her and whispered: "Next month, do you know what day it is?"
"Of course I know, it's our engagement anniversary!"
"Let's go to Europe for a vacation this year? It's just the two of us. You've worked hard in the past two years. When the company's listing is completed at the end of the month, I can also take a vacation next month..."
"Where's Xiangning?"
"Her grandparents miss her very much, so just let her parents take care of her. Okay?"
Use your hands slightly.
Li Xiang clamped her legs together. She had been bullied by him like this. She couldn't say anything wrong, so she could only glance at him angrily and agreed sweetly.
There is no such thing as boredom. Devotion means sleeping with her alone, and eternity means sleeping with her for the rest of her life.
Let's talk about the shameful things at night. Shen Yu and Li Xiang got ready, took Su Zhifu and Shen Xiangning with them, and headed to the hotel for a banquet as a family.
Puff is still the bouquet bearer this year. When Shen Yu and Li Xiang got married, she was the one who held the bouquets. Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage also held the bouquets. At the wedding of Jiang Ningle and Li Jingqian held in Singapore the year before, Shen Yu and Li Xiang, Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage also went.
I haven't seen Jiang Ningle for a long time. She and Li Jing returned to Singapore after graduation. Today she came back specially to attend the wedding of Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage.
Li Xiang and Jiang Ning Le hugged each other tightly, and they had the best relationship.
"Xiang Ning, this is Aunt Lele. She came to see you when you were born. Do you still remember?"
Chen Xiangning: "...?"
She didn't know why her father fell in love with her mother, and Xiang Ning felt very tired.
"Aunt Lele!"
"Xiang Ning is so cute!! Aunt Lele loves you so much!!"
In the hotel room, I met Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji. They had already finished their wedding and were now putting on makeup to prepare for the stage.
"Hey, Shen Yu, please help me see if these clothes are correct. Why do I always feel strangled?"
"Banzheng, very good!"
"Wow! Xiang Ning!"
"Aunt Yage!"
Don't ask why you call her sister-in-law when you call her Puff, and sister when you call Zhao Yage. The question is that Xiang Ning has been smart since she was a child. Anyway, when you see people who are about the same age as your mother and are not married yet, you should call them sister.
As the protagonists of today's wedding, Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji were very nervous, especially Zhao Yage, whose belly was already five months old. Fortunately, she was relatively thin, so it was hard to tell when she was wearing a wedding dress.
As expected, these two people did not follow the routine and both got pregnant, so they quickly went to get the certificate and prepare for the wedding.
"Oh, we are relieved to see you two come to this day. Relax, there is nothing to be nervous about. Look at how relaxed we were when we got married."
Chen Yu happily hugged Li Xiang and Xiang Ning, looking like someone who had come before.
"How dare you say that!" Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage said in unison.
When Shen Yu and Li Xiang got married, Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage came to serve as best man and bridesmaid. They were very clear about their behavior. Who was so nervous that he didn't sleep a wink for two days? Who takes the road to marry again and again? You are not from Shen Daguan!
Shen Yu arranged the entire wedding of Shen Yu and Li Xiang. They rented a villa for Li Xiang's relatives and friends to live with. They also went to the villa to pick up their relatives.
Li Xiang was only responsible for her beauty and temperament. Shen Yu went to pick up the bride, but he used red envelopes to smash through the obstacles of Li Xiang's sister group. After seeing the bride, he hugged the bride and ran outside. What shocked everyone was that this guy was The electric car came to pick up the bride. Of course, the electric car was followed by a luxurious motorcade.
The bride, Rika, cried and laughed, sitting in the back seat of his electric car, hugging him, and being taken home by him.
After greeting each other, serving tea, changing my words, and swearing an oath, when I think back on that day, it still feels like a dream.
Chen Yu has always been a low-key person who doesn't know how to talk about love, but that day at his and Li Xiang's wedding banquet, he talked a lot until his voice choked up and his eyes filled with tears.
His wedding was not just a formality or memorizing lines. He was part of the drama, the drama of his and Li Xiang's life.
Back to the present, the host is enlivening the atmosphere at the wedding, and it is time for the newlyweds to enter.
"Shenyu, I'm a little nervous."
Looking at Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage, Chen Yu just hugged Li Xiang who was holding Xiang Ning, and worked together as a family to give the newlyweds confidence.
"Come on, you will be happy forever."
"We, you, all of us, everyone's life is different, but happiness will come."
"Holding hands makes you happy year after year."
The story of this life is very simple - I love you so much when I meet you.

(In the extra chapter, I chose a small family theater, and the story ends here. The person who wrote the book stopped writing, but Shen Yu and Li Xiang’s family continue to be happy in their world. Thank you everyone for your testimony~)
