Kitchen.

After helping to wash the dishes, there was nothing to do.

He lay down at the table, his body slumped like a noodle, and looked at Ms. May, who was busy in the kitchen.

Ms. Huamei poked at Xu Qilin's personal aesthetics, but at this time, what attracted Xu Qilin's attention more than her appearance was her cooking process...... Very handsome!

When she was chopping vegetables, she had a sense of déjà vu that a chef was on TV to perform his knife skills, as if he was showing off his knife skills.

Xu Qilian dared to guarantee that if this knife technique was used on himself, he would lie flat in less than three seconds.

Even these 'three seconds' are Xu Qil's bragging!

And when killing live fish, Xu Qilian used a knife to stun the fish when he killed it himself...... But Shen Thrush casually poked at the fish at some point, and the fish fainted and let her slaughter it.

Xu Qilin didn't dare to blink during the whole process: (⊙o⊙)

Afraid!

What is this modusion?

He was a little concerned - is the thrush only for fish, or for all animals? Not for human males, to be exact?

It was obviously a pleasing cooking process, but after Xu Qilin read it, he was a little flustered.

Why did I work so hard to get fit three years after the break?

Maybe...... Is this a man with a strong desire to survive?

"It seems that I can't be lazy, and I have to find time to work out every day. Xu Qilin made up his mind.

No matter how hard and tired you are, you can't leave behind in the matter of fitness.

Only strong big muscles can bring him a little warmth at a critical time.

In addition, this also strengthened his determination to confess to Shen Thrush that he had been broken for three years - in the absence of three years of memory, if he still hides it, it is easy to accidentally annoy his daughter-in-law in some details of life in the future.

He didn't want to be Xu Qiyu.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't you confess your fragments now?

So pick a topic to warm up first?

......

Shen Thrush cooks many kinds of dishes, but the amount of each dish is not much.

After eating.

Xu Qilian took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Actually, thrush, if there are only two of us eating, we don't have to cook so many dishes at one time, right?"

- Dinner is a good time to talk about things, and many things can be solved in the dinner.

"It's okay, I like to cook. Shen Thrush replied.

Cooking is her hobby, so she enjoys cooking nearly ten dishes at a time. Moreover, she cooks quickly and doesn't waste much time.

"Besides, we won't be two people all the time, there will always be new people in the family. Ah Lone, do you like a daughter or a son? Mom, she was still making an international call yesterday to ask about it. Shen Thrush supported his chin with one hand, and looked at Xu Qilin defiantly with dark eyes.

International long-distance travel, Mom and Dad traveling in a foreign country, are these two guys serious about letting their young son think about having the next generation so early?

"The child's affairs are not urgent, you have to prepare well...... Before that, why don't we get a pet and try our hands first?" Xu Qilian was very worried about whether he could play the role of 'father' at present.

He spent a morning forcing himself to accept the reality of the current three years later. But in reality, his mentality is still in college years.

If he is asked to evolve his mentality again and transform it into an 'old father' mentality, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it and his mentality will explode.

This is not a burden that he should bear at his mental age, at least give him a little more time to buffer...... For example, give two more days to think about?

"Okay, then do you want to have a cat, I've wanted to have a cat for a long time. Dogs are fine, but dogs may take a bit of effort to keep them than cats. Shen Thrush was very interested in raising small pets, and said: "If you feel that the difficulty is too high, you can also raise potted plants to practice your hands." ”

Xu Qishan nodded again and again.

If you can't even raise potted plants, then you don't have to think about raising children.

What if the child is raised to death by himself?

"Looking at your confident appearance, I feel that it won't be long before we can raise our own cuties. Shen Thrush stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a slice of green pepper meat and put it into Xu Qilone's mouth: "Why don't we preview later?"

The slices of meat in Xu Qilone's mouth almost squirted out of his nose.

Where do you see that I'm 'confident'? I'm clearly the opposite of self-confidence.

Well, the point is on the evening......

A couple's daily night after marriage?

"Goo~" swallowed the slices of meat in his mouth, Xu Qishan took a deep breath - the warm-up is almost over, and if the topic continues, it will be led astray by Shen Thrush all the way.

So, now is the time.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Shen Thrush.

Shen Thrush on the other side also looked at him, looking at each other, and Thrush asked, "What's wrong?"

"Thrush, I have a very important thing to tell you. Xu Qilan prepared his lines in his heart and said seriously: "You have to be mentally prepared, don't be surprised for a while." ”

"Hee-hee, I thought it would take some time for you to talk to me about this important matter, but I didn't expect you to tell me about it now. Shen Thrush also put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.

Her reaction was really unexpected by Xu Qilone.

- Does the thrush know about my 'broken piece for three years'? Xu Qishan was puzzled for a while.

In which detail did I accidentally show my feet?

"But now is not the time to talk about important things. You've said it, get me ready...... So, tonight, we can whisper in each other's ears tonight, and you tell me something important. Shen Thrush's voice was soft: "Tonight, I will cooperate with you well~"

Xu Qi nodded stunnedly.

Tonight?

In the evening, it is more suitable for such intimate conversations than during meals.

......

......

Before night fell, Xu Qilin and Shen Thrush still had some things to do.

After yesterday's all-night sketch, I had to draw the background, draw the line, paint it, and so on, so that it could evolve into a finished draft.

Shen Thrush came to the study with her computer, took out her assistant equipment from the study locker, and asked aloud, "How much did you draw yesterday?"

"I looked at it, and the draft was all done. Xu Qilian turned on his computer and replied.

"Pass them all to me, and I'll take care of them. Shen Thrush gave a reliable reply - as reliable as Xu Qil's fantasy of the 'assistant'.

As long as you think about some things beautifully, the ending is really beautiful!

Then at least there will be no pigeon in this issue of the 'Draft', and you can give a good account to the 'Wheat Ear' - the guilt in Xu Qil's heart was slightly lowered, and all the 'Sketches' were passed on to Shen Thrush.

"This serialized comic is almost over. Shen thrush rolled up his small cuffs, put on his glasses, and entered the assistant work mode.

[It's almost over?] Xu Qilin hasn't finished reading all the comics in the morning.

But since Shen Thrush said so...... That should be almost the end.

For him, that's a good thing!

"Ah Lone, you have to draw the finale well, don't let this work leave regrets...... By the way, have you thought about the plot of the finale?" Shen Thrush's right hand waved as quickly as he did when he was cooking before.

The productivity is amazing.

It's like a ruthless drawing machine.

"Not ...... yet," Xu Qi said quietly.

——Listening to Shen Thrush's tone, is the finale of this 'comic' for him to make up?

But he hasn't finished reading the comics yet.

Moreover, if Thrush already knew about his 'three years of fragmentation', why did he let him make up the finale?

Unless ..... the 'important things' that Shen Thrush said before were not the 'three years of fragmentation' he was going to talk about?

Was it just a misunderstanding between the two sides?

"Then in the next issue, do you need to take a break to conceive the final plot?" Shen Thrush asked again.

"Suspended?" Xu Qi's diffusion of thoughts was pulled back.

That's a good idea.

After this issue is delivered, he will have an excuse for the next issue. Even in the next period, he can use this excuse to deal with the ears of wheat again.

After all, the finale is coming, in order to prepare for the finale, it's not too much to take two periodicals, right?

"Did I find an excuse for you to delay the draft?" Shen Thrush raised his eyebrows and asked again: "After the end, do you have any new works that you want to paint? What kind of works have you been interested in recently?"

Xu Qilian: "If you want to talk about the subject matter you are interested in...... Superpowers, alien arrivals, and hot-blooded themes are what I like to watch. ”

"But there have been too many of these themes lately. Shen Thrush replied as he painted.

In the past year, major comic platforms have launched competitions such as 'theme painting'.

The themes of the levy are all themes such as bloody plots, disasters, and supernaturals, and the overlap is extremely high.

Driven by major platforms, works on these themes are emerging in an endless stream.

"All major platforms are promoting these theme works?" Xu Qilan was a little curious about this in his heart.

Well, that's a good thing for him...... It means that he has a lot of works to choose from before he gets tired of it.

......

The time spent with Shen Thrush flew by.

Afternoon sketches.

Enjoy dinner.

Hand in hand for a walk.

Exercise together.

Go back and color the last few pages of your unfinished drawing.

When I finally finished writing, it was 23:54 in the evening.

Next, it's the appointed night......

Xu Qilin carefully saved the finished manuscript: "It's late, let's rest." ”

"Hmm. On the other side, Shen Thrush yawned, took off her glasses, and rubbed her eyes—she would only be so busy until late when she was helping Xu Qilian catch up with the draft. On weekdays, her routine is as standard as a textbook.

......

Dead.

By the time Xu Qilin and Shen Thrush finished washing, the time had already crossed 12 o'clock.

Saturday, May 24, 2025 at 00:08 AM.

On the big bed, Xu Qilian was ready.

The time has come to confess!

"Thrush~" He said in a serious tone: "Do you feel that I am a little different from the past today?In fact, when I woke up this morning, I found that my state was a little strange, and I lost three ...... in three years."

"Report!" Suddenly, the thrush who was sleeping with Xu Qi, as if receiving some signal, sat up at once, and answered in a pleasant voice.

Xu Qilone: "???"
