In the evening.

The glow poured down, and Wen Qizhou hurried home with a bouquet of champagne roses and a four-inch birthday cake.

He knocked on the door of 823.

When Chi Yue's figure came into view, he raised his hand holding the rose slightly, and said, "Wife, happy birthday." ”

The fragrance of flowers hit the tip of his nose, and the eleven roses stained with water droplets occupied Chi Yue's sight.

Chi Yue looked at him and the flowers in a daze.

It's been a long time since she had a birthday, and she almost forgot that today was special, and she didn't expect to receive a bouquet of flowers in the last days.

She touched the bouquet of flowers that Wen Qizhou stuffed into her arms, and the matte paper wrapped in warmth wiped her fingertips and passed to her limbs, and her whole heart was like soaking in a hot spring.

It's too warm to speak.

"Thank you, husband." She stood on tiptoe and kissed the thin lips, her smiling apricot eyes faintly glistening with tears.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it."

Wen Qizhou smiled and kissed her forehead.

He closed the door, walked to the two-seater sofa with Chi Yue in his arms, and his eyes turned to the table where the processed shrimp, pork ribs and vegetables were placed: "You sit down for a while, I'll stir-fry." ”

"Okay." Chi Yue couldn't put it down and looked at the bouquet of roses for a long time, before catching a glimpse of the birthday cake he put on the coffee table, and said with surprise and joy: "You still bought the cake?" ”

"Well, I'll blow out the candles with you at night." He wiped his freshly washed hands, rubbed his palms over the top of her hair.

The glow refracted outside the window fell on his clear side face, and she looked up at the pair of Ruifeng eyes that seemed to be dotted with starlight, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth could not be retracted for a long time.

She followed Wen Qizhou's figure with her eyes, watching him stand in front of the long table, pouring the processed ingredients into the round pot on the induction cooker and stir-frying them over and over again.

Oily fumes roam around the room.

Wisps of white smoke filled the room of less than twenty square meters, but it was quite warm.

With the two dishes and one soup just out of the pot, the strong fragrance entered the tip of Chi Yue's nose, and she was finally willing to put down the roses, took the dishes and chopsticks he handed over, and dined with him in joy.

When night fell, Chi Yue, who was excited to order candles and make a wish, unpacked the cake and curved candles.

"Shall we plug one?"

"Yes." The cake shop didn't have a digital candle, and it was impossible to insert twenty-six candles for her, so she had to use one instead.

Wen Qizhou lit the candle.

He turned off the overhead light, picked up his iPad and played a happy birthday song, humming softly in Chi Yue's ear along with the melody.

“Happy birthday to you……”

Listening to his mellow humming voice, Chi Yue closed his eyes, crossed his fingers and made a birthday wish.

- May they be safe and well, may they grow old together, and may they usher in the dawn of the Dark Ages as soon as possible.

*

On the night of November 24th, she tasted the cake, he tasted her with the cake in his mouth, and the beautiful atmosphere lasted all night.

Chi Yue, who didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, waited until the early morning of the next day to mention to Wen Qizhou that the insect plague might be advanced.

"Ladybug handed over to the authorities?" Wen Qizhou leaned on the cushion at the head of the bed, frowned slightly, and lit a cigarette.

"Handed it over."

"Is it by biting larvae or juveniles into the body? And then suck the flesh of the human body? ”

Chi Yue's "um" sound.

She glanced at the nightgown scattered under the bed, and took one out again and put it on: "They suck quickly, and the parasitic person will die in about a day or two." ”

"All the insects have mutated?"

Ordinary insects don't go against the sky.

Wen Qizhou just listened to her description, and he had an unreal feeling: "Including mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches?" ”

"No, in the previous life, only the insects of Coleoptera and Hymenoptera were found to have mutated."

She emphasizes "past lives".

After all, the butterfly effect has led to a lot of things changing, and no one knows if there will be more variants.

Chi Yue lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed: "Anyway, we'd better protect from now on, and don't wear short sleeves when we go out." ”

“…… Good. ”

Of course, life is more important than heat.

Because he was still not sure whether the insect plague was in advance, Chi Yue didn't take the protective clothing for the time being, and only handed him a set of long-sleeved trousers.

While he was dressing, she took out two breakfasts and laid them on the coffee table, waiting for them to wash up before eating together.

"Wife, are you going to set up a stall today?" Wen Qizhou picked up the egg and knocked it on the corner of the table, peeling off the eggshell along the crack.

"No."

They tossed and turned for too long last night.

Chi Yue still feels that her back is sore and her legs are weak, and she can't lift the slightest spirit to go out to set up a stall: "I haven't slept enough." ”

"Then you can rest well at home." He fed the shelled egg to her mouth: "Wait until I come back and give you a massage." ”

She replied vaguely.

Before he went out, apply wind oil essence to his neck, the back of his hands and ankles: "Wind oil essence can repel insects, you apply it again in the afternoon, don't let the smell go away." ”
