A New Year Begins

After hastily washing the dishes clean, Chen Xi shook his hands, which were still damp and dotted with water droplets, then strode over to the sofa and wrapped his arms around Talan, who was sitting there playing on her phone.

"Little Chen, look at this. Isn't it pretty?"

Talan didn't care whether the hand on her face was wet.

She simply slipped skillfully into Chen's embrace, then pressed her phone screen against his face.

Chen Xi took a closer look. It was a jigsaw puzzle.

If he hadn't mistaken it, it was a scenic picture of Mount Fuji in Japan.

"It's all right. If you like it, just buy it. But let me make this clear first: I'm not helping you put it together."

"No! We have to do it together. That's why I want to buy it!"

"...But this thing takes a lot of time, honey~~ And it has 2,000 pieces..."

"Aiya, don't you think completing a picture like this through effort and thought would give us a real sense of accomplishment?"

"I'll only feel like I've wasted several precious hours of my life, honey..."

"?"

"Ah...but if I'm putting it together with you, then it doesn't count as a waste~~ Hahaha! Fine, fine, buy it. When I get some time off next time, I'll slowly put it together with you."

"Hee-hee, aww! Our Little Chen is the best! Come here and give me a kiss!"

Talan rubbed Chen Xi's face with a grin, then leaned forward and gave him a sweet kiss.

Chen, for his part, turned his face with a smile and enjoyed the sweet moment.

He had chosen his wife, so of course he would spoil her. It wasn't a big deal, after all.

As the saying went, "Love means often feeling that you owe someone."
