Pressing the bell to their nest with her elbow, Bing Shi’s hands were occupied by countless flower bouquets and gift bags containing goodies.

Opening the door, Xuan Mu helped her to carry everything in, “Welcome Home.”

“I’m back,” Bing Shi took her shoes off with a grin, eyeing his half-naked body up and down, “This is so strange. I can’t get used to you coming home faster than me.”

She walked beside him. They head towards the kitchen in an easy going pace and, once inside of the kitchen, Bing Shi went to the sink to wash her hands and then she’d get some flower vases, “The PR agent ordered me to take some selfies with the gifts from my fans and various organizations, and send them to him later.”

As an idol, it was so easy to gain a person’s hate and jealousy. The company urged her to shut down all of her social media accounts. They were afraid that she would say or post something that would come off wrong since anything one did on social media could get blown out of proportion.

.....

Just look at all the past celebrities that’d been shoved off their pedestals and abandoned by their fans because of something they said on social media...

As Bing Shi was setting up to take the photos, she had to make sure that there was no reflection of hubby in her eyes (because gosh were the fans quick to pick up the smallest things in a photo), and she made sure to blur the background of their nest.

Once finished taking the photos, she would look at all of the flowers and sigh, “So many flowers... Would it be bad if I plucked them up and threw them in my bath?”

“I don’t think so, no.” Xuan Mu waited until she finished arranging the flowers and gifts on the coffee table before placing his little chocolate bag at the front row, “Happy Valentine’s day.”

“Happy Valentine’s day...?” Bing Shi picked up the gift and lifted her head in guilt, running to him to apologize, “I thought we decided not to do anything for valentines this year... I prepared a biiiiiig nothing for you.”

“It’s fine, it’s the same old thing every year. It’s nothing to stress about,” Xuan Mu sat down on the couch and seated her on his lap while soothingly stroking her back, “No, actually, it might be a bit different this year. But don’t raise your expectations too high, I don’t want you to think that this will be a habit.”

“Thank you,” kissing his cheek, she opened the gift bag and took out the chocolate truffle that was delicately wrapped up inside of its golden foil. Bing Shi exclaimed as she admired the gift, “So prettyyyyy!”

Compared to the years before, the valentine’s gift was definitely small but to her, it was only the thought of the gift that counted. At that moment, she completely forgot that she requested that Xuan Mu would not buy her food- especially sweets. Then, she noticed something else inside of the chocolate bag.

“A note?” She wondered out loud as she took out the card. Looking at it dubiously, thinking it belonged to the store where he purchased it from, as a thank you gift for buying their product, she was stunned to see his handwriting. This was not from the store. It was from something even better: her hubby.

Our story won’t have a happy ending.

It will be happy, unfinished,

never-ending, forever, and always.

Bing Shi’s vision became a little bit blurry and she realized with a start that the moist feeling in her eyes were the beginnings of happy tears. She turned the card over to read the second note. She looked up at him, then back at the card.

Then she turned the card over, looked up at him with a grin, then back at the card. This went on for a few minutes and he watched with amusement as she kept on repeating the process a few more times before she finally attacked his lips with a rain of kisses, “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love you. I love you. I love youuuuu.”

Her heart couldn’t be won with a simple chocolate nor a long confession, yet when it came to him, she didn’t have to receive a thing from him; his inner cuteness and passionate love already made his victory complete.

So one could only imagine how deliriously happy she was when on Valentine’s Day, he came with a letter that came from the depths of his soul. It was the cutest valentine gift there could ever be...

Lu Kai’s PA soon got an answer to some of his questions. Not all of them, of course, but he was satisfied (and pleasantly surprised) with the answers.

The next day, Silika Lin updated a new post on her social media after a long hiatus much to her fans’ delighted surprise (and the company’s dread). The most eye-catching thing on the post, besides what Silika had written down, was a picture where she had her elbow on a coffee table.

With her chin in her hand, she stared intently at a piece of chocolate truffle that teasingly sat before her eyes. There was a little note in her mouth, which seemed to be from one of her lucky fans. She was biting on it as if replacing the bland taste of paper with the allure of the delicious treat.

The color of the photo had a sentimental vibe because the gradients of chocolate hues from cream caramel to deep sensual browns had a way of locking their senses in the right kind of sugar high.

What captured everyone’s hearts were the handwritten words that they could read on the note. The blank ink was infused with strength, the kind that made one immune to all winds.
