The next Sunday, Lin Lu's family and Li Xingruo's family went to Tianping Mountain to see the maple leaves, and they had another meal together in the evening.

I didn't drink tonight, but after two days of discussion, the engagement was finally decided, and the specific date had to be picked up, and I guessed that it would be around March or April next year.

It's said it's next year, but it's also very fast, and now it's mid to late November, and it's only four or five months when it's full.

At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Li Min and Chen Yingping also completed their tasks and prepared to return to Liangxi, and Lin Lu helped put the gift given by his mother and Uncle Wen into the trunk.

"Uncle Li, come to Genhuazi again!"

"Hey...... Yo, okay, okay, the fire is too big! ”

After smoking a cigarette, Li Min snuffed out the cigarette butt with satisfaction, opened the car door and got into the car to start, and Chen Yingping also sat in the co-pilot.

"Okay, you two go upstairs, let's go back to Liangxi first, it's estimated that it's almost ten o'clock when we get home."

"Be safe when driving at night! Remember to say oh when you get home! ”

"It's your birthday next month, will you go back to Liangxi then?"

"Hmm......"

Hearing this, the baby girl's little face suddenly became entangled, her birthday was just half a year later than Lin Lu, Lin Lu was June 11th birthday, and she was December 11th birthday.

Today is the 20th of November, and the birthday is very soon, it happens that the birthday is the weekend, and it is okay to go back to Liangxi for your birthday, but there are some planned things, it seems that it is not very convenient to go back to Liangxi......

Looking at the little tangled appearance of the girl, the old father and mother are also angry and funny, estimating what program was arranged on the birthday of these two young people, and sure enough, as the saying goes, this intimate little padded jacket will have to be someone else's sooner or later.

"Okay, anyway, you can arrange it yourself when the time comes, you usually go back to Liangxi more often on weekends, Lin Luling can drive, if she doesn't come back, you pull her back!"

Lin Lu's face turned straight, and he hurriedly promised: "Uncle and Aunt Li don't worry! ”

"I—I didn't say I wouldn't go back!"

"Let's go, you have to go to work and school tomorrow, go upstairs and rest in the morning."

"Bye-bye~"

"Uncle and Aunt Li's bye~"

The car started, and Li Min and Chen Yingping drove in the direction of Huiliangxi.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law had a great time this time, the most important thing is to see that the girl is doing well, and they have reached a consensus with Zou Wanrou and their family.

"Time is so fast, 2022 is about to pass."

"Yes, Sister Xingruo is cold?"

"It's not cold~"

Lin Lu stood behind her, wrapped his arms around her, hugged her in his arms, the two looked up at the starry sky in the winter night, standing in the gorgeous and shining city night scene, each other's eyes were also shining like works of art, he and the white breath she breathed flew high into the sky by the cold wind, and finally merged into this dreamy winter night.

The light of the orange street lamp was reflected on her pretty face, and the warmth in his arms made people want to close their eyes, and she squinted slightly, remembering the four seasons she had walked with him, so the corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow and soft smile.

"Lin Lu Lin Road~"

"Huh?"

"I like you!"

"Is that just that?"

"Yes—I love it!"

"I also like Sister Xingruo."

Lin Lu buried his face in her waterfall-like hair and took a deep breath.

……

Her skin already felt that it was the season of deep winter, and Lin Lu was preparing for that festival that belonged to her.

Of course, since it's a birthday gift, it naturally has to be a surprise, so when she is usually at home, Lin Lu never lets her see it.

But the two of them are almost sticky and greasy at home, especially after the engagement is confirmed and the cold of winter arrives, as long as there is a chance, Li Xingruo will stick it on him, completely treating him as a huge warm baby in human form, so if you want to prepare a gift from her in this situation, it is naturally impossible to do it.

But there is a chance during the day, as the sister of the social animal, you can't always monitor his situation at school with a telescope! Senior Sister Zhong Qing is an exception!

"Damn, Brother Lu! How much do you love high heels, you did it yourself?! ”

"How's it going, are these shoes okay?"

"I'll look at ......"

"Stop! Don't touch it! ”

"My mother, Brother Lu, why don't you sign up for the fashion design major! Don't talk about these shoes, I can't find a fault with a high-heeled shoe control! ”

"Hey, hey."

Lin Lu smiled, and continued to make the high heels he planned to give to Li Xingruo in the dormitory, he had always planned to make a pair for her, but he didn't know the size of her little feet, and now he played with it every day, no one in the world knew the size of Sister Xingruo's small feet better than him, and even she didn't know as well as him.

Of course, this pair of high heels is just the beginning, and when some time comes, he plans to design a wedding dress for her himself, including necklaces and rings, which are designed by himself, and then take them to someone to customize, if there are no tools and materials, he plans to do it all himself.

There are also houses for the two of them in the future, and he will also design and decorate them himself, isn't this his ability for these purposes.

Take beautiful pictures for her, draw beautiful pictures for her, design her beautiful high heels, wedding dresses, necklaces, rings, and design her home for two.

Lang is not romantic, Lin Lu doesn't know, he just wants to give her everything he thinks is the best.

In addition, last month, Lin Lu invited Professor Wu as an instructor to submit art works and design works to participate in the Chinese Art Exhibition, with his advanced vision and aesthetics, as well as amazing creative expression, has been successfully shortlisted in the provincial exhibition, taking this opportunity, Professor Wu also invited him to join his project team, with a group of graduate students and doctoral students to try to do projects.

As for the entries that also won the gold medal at the school exhibition, they were hung in the 601 exhibition hall that the sisters and brothers visited when they entered the school, and they were exhibited together with the outstanding graduation works of a group of seniors.

In addition, he is handsome and an up little Internet celebrity, so that Lin Lu's reputation in the Academy of Arts became famous for a while, you must know that this guy is just a freshman student! Whoever comes here will think that this is already the pinnacle of life, right?!

Lin Lu was embarrassed to tell everyone that on March 16 next year, he would be engaged to Sister Xingruo, which was what he thought was the pinnacle of life......

……

While Lin Lu struggled to catch up with her, his sister, who was competing with him, did not stop waiting for him, and on December 10th, the day before her birthday, Li Xingruo's debut work sample book was sent to her home.

It has been almost two months since the publishing contract was signed in mid-October, and after a series of processes such as typesetting and proofreading review, Li Xingruo's physical book is scheduled to be listed on January 1 next year, and as an author, he can get a sample book about a month before the publication date.

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

"Hahaha, Sister Xingruo, are you so short that you can't even grab a book?"

The courier was picked up by Lin Lu, and before picking up the courier, Li Xingruo didn't know what the courier he received inexplicably was.

Lin Lu held up the three physical books in his hand with a bad heart, and the impatient Sister Xingruo turned into two stupid sisters, jumping up and down in front of him anxiously and annoyed, trying to snatch the book in his hand.

"Wow......!"

It wasn't until Lin Lu was bitten by her that she was satisfied with getting her booty.

Untying the long strips of straps, tearing open the plastic wrap that wrapped the brand-new books, her eyes sparkled as if piercing the dawn of the night.

"Quack Quack~~!! Wow~~~!! ”

The reserved sister laughed loudly regardless of the image, as if showing some treasure she had obtained, and with her delicate hands she held the new and ink-scented book in her delicate hands, raised it to the height of her forehead, and turned the cover towards him—

"What am I now?!"

"Yes—great writer!!"

"Didn't hear me!"

"Great writer!! Sister Xingruo is a great writer!! ”

She was about to slam the cover of the book on Lin Lu's face, looking at her book title and her pen name printed on the cover illustration, a grand joy also flowed in Lin Lu's body, and her heartbeat was rushing because of this double mood.

After Lin Lu called her a lot of big writers, the excited and happy sister was a little shy, hehe smiled and took the book back, holding it in her hand like a treasure, her fingers gently rubbing the pages, and couldn't help but hold the book to the tip of the pen and smell the intoxicating ink fragrance in it, and the light in her big eyes kept flickering.

"Great, that's great!"

"Damn, the publishing house actually robbed me of the first!"

"What first?"

"The first one to give Sister Xingruo a birthday gift!"

Lin Lu was so angry that he beat his chest, and Li Xingruo reacted and giggled happily.

……

Almost all night, Li Xingruo held his books and couldn't put them down, if he wasn't afraid of bringing them into the bathroom and getting the pages wet, Lin Lu had no doubt that she would not only take him into the bathroom, but also bring these three books with her.

On a cold winter night, it's best to soak your feet before going to bed.

Lin Lu fetched a bucket of hot water and put it next to the bed, she looked at the book in her thin pajamas, and when Lin Lu helped her roll up her cotton pants, she lifted her white and moist little feet and gently put them into the hot water in the bucket.

"It's cold, it's cold!" She said.

"It's still cold, my feet are going to burn off their skin when they are in this hot water!"

"Cold back!"

"So what?"

Lin Lu sat down on her back and hugged her towards him, so that the two of them could be pressed together.

"It's not cold this way~"

Li Xingruo smiled with satisfaction, and shrunk into a ball and nested in his arms, as if he was placed in his rightful place, writhing in his arms like a clingy kitten.

"You soak your feet too, you soak too."

"I don't, it's hot, wait for it to cool down before soaking."

"It's not hot! Try it and find out! ”

Hearing her say this, Lin Lu had no choice but to put his feet in the bucket together, but as soon as he touched the surface of the water, he bared his teeth and grinned, and then looked at Sister Xingruo who was soaking her little feet in the water, God knows why she didn't feel hot.

After some attempts, Lin Lu finally soaked his feet into the bucket together, and as he soaked his feet in, the water surface rose a lot, and even his calves felt extremely hot.

Li Xingruo raised his little feet a little and stepped on the instep of his feet, the book resting on his lap, and he was flipping through the pages one by one.

Lin Lu put his hands around her slender waist, his palms were very hot, and he slipped into her clothes to warm her up.

Lin Lu put his chin on her shoulder, feeling the temperature of the hot water rising from her feet, and the muscles and nerves of her face that were frozen because of the cold weather also relaxed.

"Sister Xingruo is so fragrant."

"Then smell enough for you~"

"I can't smell enough."

“…… Tap. ”

"Oh."

Lin Lu slowed down, was a little more honest, and looked at the book in her hand with her.

"This new book is great, especially this cover, wow, which genius designed it, it's really talented, and it fits Sister Xingruo's book perfectly."

“…… You're so stinky and beautiful!! ”

Li Xingruo pinched him angrily, and Lin Lu laughed.

Although it is a published book, the cover of the book was designed by Lin Lu himself, and he contacted the publishing house at the beginning, and also provided the design drawings to the publishing house.

For Lin Lu and Li Xingruo, the meaning is different, this is her first published book, the content of the book is hers, but the cover is designed by him, and it looks like a masterpiece crystallized by the two of them in his hand, no wonder he loves it so much.

"Lin Lu Lin Lu, have I really become a writer? Isn't it dreaming? ”

"Sister Xingruo won't know if she pinched it...... Hiss! Hurt! Don't pinch me! ”

"It doesn't seem to be a dream!"

"When will the last volume be printed?"

Lin Lu said curiously, Li Xingruo at the end of last month, the book was finished, and the final serialization score was more than 12,000 orders, which was considered the top batch in the Begonia Women's Frequency, and the book was still serialized when it was first printed, only three volumes were printed, and the last volume was still published.

"Come on, the editor said that the proofreading of the last volume will start next week."

"Sister Xingruo can make a small fortune again!"

"Hahaha, I don't have a lot of money~~"

"Hurry up and take care of me!"

"Hmph, look at you're not promising."

"Sister Xingruo is rich, I have Sister Xingruo, this is not out of the way?"

"Stupid Lin Road Stupid~~"

While soaking her feet, she sat on Lin Lu's lap and staggered, her immature heartbeat was covered by Lin Lu in the warm palm, and with his gentle movements, her thoughts were like jellyfish that had been hit ashore, lying on her stomach and lying on her stomach.

"Hey~"

Li Xingruo finally gave up reading, closed the book, put it aside, and lay down in his arms with a soft meow, his head resting on his chest, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Lin Lu pecked her eyes shallowly, and with one free hand helped her comb her hair, which was soft and smooth, like warm snow.

"Such a lazy writer, I've been resting for almost half a month, when are you going to write a new book?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll rest for a while......"

Li Xingruo rubbed in his arms like a coquettish, and Lin Lu couldn't do anything about her.

"It doesn't matter if Sister Xingruo doesn't write a book, I'll support you then."

"Aren't I going to call you brother?"

"Why don't you get used to it in advance and shout to listen?"

"You put your ears ......"

Lin Lu excitedly leaned his ear over, but her ear was gently bitten by her: "Stinky brother——! ”

"Wow, Sister Xingruo is cheating!"

"The water in the bucket is getting cold, you go change it."

"Sister Xingruo, do you know, the temperature of warm water is thirty to fifty degrees Celsius, and soaking your feet in the back is my temperature."

"Your temperature?"

"Hmm~ It's like Sister Xingruo put her feet on my chest."

"What kind of love words, you are embarrassed to say it, you just want to use my feet ......"

"I didn't!"

"Who believes!"

Li Xingruo giggled, probably this is the love with Lin Lu, God knows what kind of brain circuit he has to say such shameless and strange words.

It was freezing cold, Lin Lu took her feet out of the warm water, dried them carefully with a towel, and before he could taste them, she got into the quilt with the fair-skinned and lovely little feet.

By the time Lin Lu also got into the quilt, the quilt was already warm by her.

The night light in the room was turned on, the quilt was agitated, and the equipment was scattered everywhere, but the gold coins were tacitly brushed by no one, just hugged each other intimately without any barriers.

Li Xingruo lay on top of him, rubbing warmly, Lin Lu ruffled her hair, admiring her warm shoulders.

"As for the gift, you still haven't given it to me."

She twisted a strand of hair and teased his nose.

"Wait for tomorrow."

"And what kind of gift did you prepare......

"Oh, me."

"Huh?"

"Me! Shall I give me to Sister Xingruo? ”

"Phew, you can tell ...... shame"

Li Xingruo's face flushed, and she buried her little head in his shoulder and neck, and Lin Lu hugged her tighter.

"Sister Xingruo still hasn't slept yet?"

"Don't, wait for you to be the first to bless me."

"Sister Xingruo, you can sleep first, and then I'll wake you up."

"I'll bite you to death."

"Oh, my ears are falling out! Loose mouth loose mouth ......"

Finally, it reached zero o'clock, and when the second hand met Twelve, his voice sounded softly in her ears:

"Wife, happy birthday~"

The first time she heard this from his mouth, her body tensed suddenly, as if a thousand strands of silk would be intertwined with each other.

This is her twenty-third birthday, and as Lin Lu announced, she has the grandest new identity at this age.

"Thank you, husband~"
