Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 826
Golden Agent of the Adonis (146)
Chu Xiang didn’t ask Fang Zhenxuan what surprise he had prepared for her. She followed behind him and entered her home. As soon as Fang Zhenxuan stepped aside, she saw a romantic and gentle scene.
On the TV, a video of her and Fang Zhenxuan laughing and playing was on, accompanied by the music they had both sung. Colorful ribbons were tied to the wall where the TV was, forming many heart-shaped balloons in red, silver, and gold, creating a beautiful sight.
On the floor to the left of the TV, there was a large bouquet of roses, and next to it was an LED light in the shape of “I Love You,” with a bunch of floating pink and white balloons attached to it.
There were also many balloons floating on the ceiling, and the curtains of the French windows were closed. The upper half of the curtains had beautiful star-shaped lights, while the lower half displayed numerous pictures of Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan together. These photos ranged from the genuine ones to those edited by their fans, but they all represented their shared memories, reminding them of everything they had experienced together.
On the dining table to the right of the TV, there were candles, red wine, and a delicious-looking Western meal. The kitchen counter was filled with fruits, snacks, and candies.
Chu Xiang felt like she hadn’t returned to her own home but had stepped into a sweet wonderland.
She took a couple of steps forward, and scattered balloons were spread across the floor. In front of her, there was a huge heart-shaped arrangement made of yellow and pink round bulbs. The inside of the heart was covered with pink petals, and in the center of the petals was a large jewelry box.
Fang Zhenxuan nervously took a deep breath and held her hand as they walked to the window. He pointed at the photo wall and said, “This is when we first met at the hospital. Your face was pale, but your smile was more beautiful than anyone else’s. This is when we went to the company, taken by a colleague. It took me a lot of effort to get here, and I had many thoughts, but later I realized that as long as I’m by your side, I feel more at ease than anywhere else. This is from when we were recording a program. The audience thought I was looking at the camera, but I was actually looking at you. These are behind-the-scenes photos from filming, airport snapshots, photos taken by strangers abroad, and group pictures from our private dinners…”
“Do you notice something about all these photos?” Fang Zhenxuan turned around, holding Chu Xiang’s hands and facing her. “The common thread in all of them is that my gaze always follows you. Wherever you are, I am there. If I can’t see you for a minute, I feel an emptiness in my heart.”
Chu Xiang’s eyes were filled with a smile. “Why didn’t I notice before that you’re so clingy?”
Fang Zhenxuan looked at her, his grip tightening. He said in a gentle voice, “In the 22 years before I met you, I didn’t know I could be so clingy. So… I only cling to you.”
Chu Xiang looked up at him, her smile radiant. “So, what do you want to do now?”
“I…” Fang Zhenxuan didn’t finish his sentence. With a firm grip, he pulled Chu Xiang into his arms and lowered his head to passionately kiss her long-awaited lips.
Her lips were even softer than he had imagined, causing him to lose his breath for a moment. He embraced her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go. But before he could finish his sentence, he could only reluctantly kiss her lips a couple more times before gently pulling away.
As Chu Xiang opened her eyes, he caressed her cheek and asked softly, “Will you be my girlfriend?”
“What if I say no…”
“No! You’re already my girlfriend now.” Fang Zhenxuan saw that Chu Xiang was teasing him, so he asserted his authority and kissed her soft lips once again.
The video playing in the background had the countdown to midnight. In the last second, Fang Zhenxuan put on a couple necklace for Chu Xiang and hugged her, joyfully saying in her ear, “Happy New Year! I hope we can celebrate every year like this in the future. No matter how busy our work gets, we won’t be apart. We can spend every anniversary together.”
Chu Xiang pinched the soft flesh around his waist. “So, this is the trick you were playing.”
She wrapped her arms around Fang Zhenxuan’s strong waist and kissed his Adam’s apple. “Year after year, day after day, I’ll always be by your side.”
Fang Zhenxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his arms suddenly tightened, and his ears turned red. But this time, he didn’t run away. Instead, he lifted Chu Xiang horizontally and whispered in her ear, “There’s a surprise in the bedroom. Let me show you.”
Chu Xiang hugged his neck and laughed out loud. “Aren’t we going to eat? The food will get cold.”
“These dishes don’t taste good. I’ll cook for you later.” Before he finished speaking, he closed the bedroom door. There wasn’t any surprise inside. He himself was the biggest surprise.
Later, Chu Xiang indeed ate the food Fang Zhenxuan cooked, but by then it was already almost dawn. They turned their late-night snack into breakfast.
It was only 9 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but they were woken up by the sound of notifications from WeChat one after another. Case Investigation Adventure was released that day, and everyone from their team and friends from the company was paying attention to it.
Chu Xiang tossed her phone aside and turned around, burying her face in her little boyfriend’s chest. She muttered, “Not awake yet. I don’t want to get up.”
