On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Su Yuqing spoke very briefly, but what she was really saying was that Chen Mo's birth was the reason she was able to continue her life, and she was extremely grateful for that.

She paused, then a radiant yet unwavering smile bloomed on her face: "From now on, I want to be by your side for every birthday, every day.

Perhaps I can't come up with a better birthday gift, but at least I can give myself to you, and try my best to bring you joy on every birthday.

As long as you don't get tired of it.

"Since returning from the dream, Su Yuqing has become noticeably more honest and direct than before.

There are some words, some sweet nothings, that she might have been too shy to say before, but now she's much braver.

They are also more open about expressing their emotions.

Her words were like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating huge ripples in Chen Mo's heart.

He looked at the girl who bravely confessed her feelings.

The morning light gilded her with a soft gold, and the pure and ardent emotion in her eyes was more dazzling than all the surrounding light combined.

Unable to contain his emotions any longer, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into a tight, tight embrace.

"Silly girl...

" Chen Mo's voice was buried in her fragrant hair, with a heavy nasal tone and an undisguised tremor, "I will never get tired of her.

"He tightened his arms around her, as if trying to meld her into his very bones.

"You will always be the best birthday gift I can ever receive...

without a doubt.

"He held Su Yuqing tightly, and she could clearly feel his heart pounding fiercely in her chest.

The nervousness of bravely expressing her feelings was instantly replaced by immense sweetness and peace of mind.

She closed her eyes, reached out and hugged him back, pressed her cheek against his warm neck, and smiled silently.

The world seemed to consist only of each other's heartbeats and the soft rustling of the morning breeze through the leaves outside the window.

Chen Mo's gaze fell on Su Yuqing's slightly parted, soft lips, like flower petals.

Without hesitation, filled with long-suppressed desire and surging love, he kissed her gently yet firmly.

This kiss was different from the first kiss on the cliff, which was filled with tentative anticipation and excitement.

It is longer and deeper, carrying the certainty of confirming each other's feelings and endless tenderness.

Su Yuqing trembled slightly before obediently closing her eyes.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her hands unconsciously climbed onto his shoulders, responding clumsily but with utmost sincerity.

Her unique sweet scent lingered on her lips and teeth, mixed with the taste of morning light, so beautiful it was intoxicating.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The only sounds in the apartment were their intertwined breaths, their rapid heartbeats, and the silent, intense love that flowed between them.

However, this tranquil sweetness did not last long.

A soft "click!

" sound of a key turning the lock suddenly broke the tranquility of the room.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a "bang".

Chen Xi was carrying a huge cake box decorated with colorful ribbons, followed by her grandparents who were also carrying large bags and small bags, their faces beaming with smiles.

Upon hearing the door open, Su Yuqing immediately sprang away from Chen Mo's arms like a startled deer.

Her face turned bright red, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide behind Chen Mo as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Chen Mo's ears were also red, but compared to Su Yuqing, he was much calmer.

Although embarrassed, he had a kind of composure that "it doesn't matter if I'm caught.

"He instinctively shielded Su Yuqing behind him, then walked out of the bedroom with a mix of helplessness and amusement, looking at the three "uninvited guests" who had entered through the door.

"Mom!

You...

why are you here so early?

" Chen Mo's voice carried a hint of annoyance at being disturbed.

"Oh my!

" Chen Xi immediately glanced at Su Yuqing, whose face was slightly flushed, and said with a sly smile, "You think we're too early?

I think you think we showed up at the wrong time!

"It's obvious at a glance that those two little guys were up to no good just now.

At this moment, Grandpa and Grandma seemed to have noticed it too.

They looked at each other with an embarrassed smile and then looked at Chen Mo and said, "It was your mother who insisted that we prepare some kind of surprise for you while you were still sleeping.

I didn't expect you to get up so early.

"As they spoke, they also noticed the layout of the living room.

Chen Xi immediately smiled and looked at Su Yuqing, "Did you arrange all of this, Qingqing?

""Yes, I quickly got up and made some while Chen Mo was still sleeping this morning," Su Yuqing replied with a shy smile.

Although she was no longer so shy around Chen Mo most of the time, she still felt a little embarrassed to express her feelings for Chen Mo to Chen Mo's parents.

"Oh dear, you've worked so hard, getting up so early to do so much.

You two should go back to sleep for a bit, and your grandparents and I can handle the rest.

Your friends are coming this afternoon, so you should get some rest.

" Chen Xi smiled at the two of them.

"Then Yuqing, you go back to sleep first.

I've had enough sleep.

I'll help with the setup," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You're the birthday person today, you have no right to lift a finger.

" Chen Xi rolled her eyes at Chen Mo.

"Go and rest with Qingqing.

""Didn't you say before that this is Mother's Day, and that I should be serving you today?

" Chen Mo said with a helpless smile.

Chen Xi, who is usually not very serious, suddenly became serious and smiled with rare affection when he heard this.

He reached out and touched Chen Mo's head and said, "This day every year is the happiest day for me, because eighteen years ago God gave me a big, chubby boy who is my most precious treasure.

"The other three people were also deeply moved by these words.

As the saying goes, a child is reincarnated either to repay a debt of gratitude or to seek revenge.

The process of a child's conception and birth holds immense significance for a mother.

There were many happy and painful moments during that time.

As for how to define the significance of a child, every mother has her own different perspective.

Clearly, for Chen Xi, having a child like Chen Mo is an immense blessing and a stroke of luck.

From the moment she became pregnant with Chen Mo, her memories were filled only with happiness, not pain.

While she may be abstract in everyday life, when it comes to demonstrating a mother's love for her child, Chen Xi is absolutely unambiguous.

In her daily life, she couldn't give Chen Mo much love because of work, so she always tried to make up for it through various opportunities.

Chen Mo's birthday was such a good time for her to make up for the lack of maternal love and pampering she had given him on weekdays.

How could she bear to let him treat this day as some kind of maternal suffering day and serve her in return?

Along with Su Yuqing's lovingly prepared breakfast, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were jointly escorted back to their bedroom by the three parents.

The three then took turns eavesdropping at the door for a while to hear what was happening inside.
