Chapter 3730

Chen Xuehai finally comes to his senses and hurriedly calls out, "Wifey, you're back?"

Zhu Yue then smiles charmingly and says, "Hurry up and change your shoes, wash your hands, and get ready to eat. I just have one more soup to finish."

Chen Xuehai hurriedly changes his shoes, washes his hands, and comes out to sit by the dining table. Just as Zhu Yue finishes the soup, she brings it out, places it on the table, takes a bottle of red wine, and gets two glasses, pouring one for each of them.

Chen Xuehai is a bit dazed and asks, "Wifey, what day is it today? Why make it so grand?"

Zhu Yue rolls her eyes at Chen Xuehai again and says, "You've forgotten what day it is today? If I had known, I wouldn't have come back. There are so many things to do at the Management Committee, and I left them all behind just to come back."

Chen Xuehai looks at the calendar on the wall and slaps his own head. It turns out today is May 4th, their wedding anniversary. Today, they have been married for thirteen years. Moreover, today is Friday, which counts as the weekend. Of course, neither of them has any concept of the weekend now; their work is too busy. But a wedding anniversary is a big day.

Zhu Yue came home specifically for this day, yet Chen Xuehai himself forgot it. He keeps saying he deserves to die. Zhu Yue says, "Then I'll punish you by making you drink a glass of wine."

Chen Xuehai hurriedly picks up the glass of wine and is about to drink it all in one gulp, but Zhu Yue snatches his glass away and says, "Don't drink it so fast. I'm just joking with you. The night is still long; let's eat and drink slowly."

Zhu Yue's flowing eyes make Chen Xuehai feel itchy inside. He nods and says, "Alright, let's drink slowly."

Zhu Yue picks up her wine glass and says, "Hubby, come, let's have a drink for our thirteenth wedding anniversary."

Chen Xuehai picks up his wine glass and says solemnly, "Come, for our wedding anniversary!"

The two take a sip. Zhu Yue picks up a piece of food for Chen Xuehai and says, "Hubby, do you still remember what happened thirteen years ago? Back then, you were so silly, you didn't know how to pursue me, and instead made me take the initiative to pursue you!"

Chen Xuehai remembers what happened back then, and he cannot help but feel ashamed: "I felt I wasn't good enough for you back then, so I didn't dare to pursue you. Back then, the people who wanted to pursue you could form a line."

Zhu Yue takes another sip with Chen Xuehai, her eyes flowing, and says, "But I just liked you."

Chen Xuehai says, "Then what did you like about me?"

Zhu Yue puts down her chopsticks, rests her chin on her hand, and says, "What did I like about you? It's hard to say all at once. I liked that you were talented, I liked your sense of justice, I liked your honesty, and I liked that you were reliable. Do you remember? One time when I was coming home from evening self-study, some hooligans from outside came to the school to harass the girls, and I was harassed too. It was you who chased those hooligans away. Maybe from that day on, I started to like you?"

With Zhu Yue saying this, Chen Xuehai remembers that such a thing happened. This small matter, which he himself had already forgotten, actually made Zhu Yue like him. He cannot help but exclaim how lucky he is: "Wifey, but that time I didn't even know you were among the girls!"

Zhu Yue says, "That's exactly the reason why I liked you. If you had known which girls they were before going to save them, that would have been meaningless. After you chased the hooligans away, you didn't ask for any reward and just left. You left so dashingly."

Chen Xuehai laughs. He didn't leave dashingly; he had no experience dealing with girls, so after majestically chasing away the hooligans, he was so nervous that he left immediately.

The couple talks about the past while drinking and eating. Today, the dishes Zhu Yue made are all ones Chen Xuehai likes to eat, so Chen Xuehai eats very happily. Without realizing it, the two of them have almost finished the bottle of red wine, leaving them both feeling a bit tipsy.

Just as the couple is looking at each other tenderly, Chen Xuehai's cell phone rings. He takes out his phone, preparing to answer it, but Zhu Yue takes it from him and turns it off. She says, "Tonight, neither of us will answer any calls. This night belongs to the two of us; no one can disturb us!"
