Shen Yuhan had just finished playing the qin, and suddenly remembered that he still wanted to give apples to his husband!
Shan Qihuan was just about to say that he could go back to his room to rest, when he saw his wife changing his usual slow walking posture, and running downstairs, thinking that he was going to do something, he got up from the couch and followed him out, he stood in the corridor and watched his wife running up with a small bag.
Shen Yuhan evened his breath, his face flushed because he ran a little: “Honey, it’s for you, peace and safety.”
Shan Qihuan took it, and saw the big, round apple inside: “An apple for me?”
“Um.” Shen Yuhan nodded, “Isn’t it necessary to give apples on Christmas Eve?”
Shan Qihuan burst out laughing: “Only our country gives away apples on Christmas Eve, this festival originally didn’t have this item, it was an activity organized by merchants.” Seeing that his wife was starting to look a little aggrieved, he immediately said, “But thank you, I was so busy that I forgot to prepare a gift for you.”
Hearing his husband’s gratitude, Shen Yuhan beaming with happiness1喜笑顏開 (xǐ xiào yán kāi): grinning from ear to ear (idiom); beaming with happiness; to be beaming with joy; to be smiling happily; light up with pleasure; Describes happy heart, full of smiles. and said: “It doesn’t matter, you always buy things for me.”
Shan Qihuan thought to himself, his wife is really easy to satisfy, he lowered his head and kissed him on his glistening lips, then directly picked him up and said: “Go back to the room.”
Shen Yuhan was startled by his sudden embrace and hugged his neck tightly: “Ah, Honey, let me down!”
Shan Qihuan let out a deep laugh, maintaining his persona and saying: “Not letting go.”
Then Shen Yuhan was easily carried back to the room by his husband, and the moment he fell onto the soft bed, Shen Yuhan’s lips were kissed.
One minute on a spring night is worth a thousand taels of gold2春宵一刻值千金 (chūn xiāo yī kè zhí qiān jīn): one minute in a spring night is worth a thousand taels of gold—every minute of the wedding night is precious; comes from a famous Chinese poem by Zhang Ruoxu from the Tang Dynasty. This line captures the sentiment of cherishing a brief moment of happiness or beauty as if it were incredibly valuable. The phrase is often used to express the idea that certain moments of happiness or contentment are so rare and precious that they are priceless and should be cherished..
Thanks to his husband’s blessing, Shen Yuhan’s Christmas Eve has a lot of ‘posture’ and color.
–
His husband habitually slept in, but Shen Yuhan still got up a little earlier than his husband, he promised to shave his husband last night.
Shan Qihuan woke up naturally, his wife had squeezed out the toothpaste for him as usual, and even laid out the shaving cream, although he didn’t make too much fuss last night, but seeing that Shen Yuhan was still energetic3精神奕奕 (jīng shén yì yì): One’s spirit is grand—to have a great spirit; lively; energetic; to have great vitality. after a good night’s sleep, Shan Qihuan felt that he hadn’t worked hard enough.
“Honey, let me shave you.”
It was unknown what kind of constitution Shen Yuhan had, he didn’t really need to shave, and there were only soft hairs above his lips, which is really hard to tell without a closer look, however, some people are born with less body hair, and even their beards don’t grow very long, which corresponded to the fact that he didn’t have much there either, just the legendary little Azure Dragon4青龍 (Qīng lóng): Azure Dragon, one of the four symbols of the Chinese constellations, also known as the Azure Dragon of the East; (figurative, slang) man without pubic hair. Therefore, 小青龍 (xiǎo Qīng lóng) refers to a young, hairless boy. T/N: Fun fact, for women, it is 白虎 (Bái hǔ), White Tiger, one of the four symbols of the Chinese constellations, also known as the White Tiger of the West; (figurative, slang) woman without pubic hair; shaved pussy. The more you know….
His development is healthy in all aspects, there is an Adam’s apple, but it’s not very prominent, perhaps due to his nature, his tone is softer than his, gentle as water, it’s often said that women are made of water, but it’s his wife who seems even more so.
“You usually don’t shave much, can you shave?” Shan Qihuan held his waist and leaned against the dressing table.
Shen Yuhan never thought about the fact that he had to shave, he hesitated for a moment and said: “I’ve learned it, I guarantee I can shave it well.”
Shan Qihuan had never let anyone else touch his face before, but if it was his wife, it didn’t matter.
Shen Yuhan had seen his husband use a razor before, and after applying shaving foam for him, he found it particularly interesting, feeling somewhat fortunate that he didn’t need to shave.
“Come on.” Shan Qihuan said with a look of facing death without fear5視死如歸 (shì sǐ rú guī): to face death with equanimity (idiom); to view death as a return home; to not be afraid of dying; to be courageous and not fear death; to not fear sacrificing oneself for a greater cause., “If you scratch my face and I can’t leave the house, you know the consequences.”
Shen Yuhan stuck out the tip of his tongue at him, pretending to be fierce, he raised the razor in his hand: “I won’t, Husband really lacks trust in me.”
When the blade fell, Shan Qihuan closed his eyes and then realized that his wife was really gentle, patiently shaving off the stubble that had grown out overnight for him, his face became cleaner little by little, and the parts that he usually didn’t shave because of his rush for time were also shaved cleanly today.
When Shan Qihuan looked at Shen Yuhan’s serious expression, his heart was so soft that it became a mess6一塌糊塗 (yī tā hú tu): muddled and completely collapsing (idiom); in an awful condition; complete shambles; a total mess; in a complete mess; in utter disorder; a kettle of fish..
Never imagined that anyone would help himself shave.
“All right.” Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had just been careful not to use too much force, afraid of accidentally shaving his husband’s face, he asked Shan Qihuan with the evidence of seeking praise, “Honey, does it look clean?”
Shan Qihuan’s eyes were burning, and he stared straight at Shen Yuhan’s picturesque little expression: “Clean.”
Shen Yuhan looked unnaturally at him, and turned his head towards the mirror: “Look at the mirror, why are you looking at me, I’m not a mirror.”
Shan Qihuan laughed deeply, then started to clean his face, then took the towel Shen Yuhan handed over.
This was the first time he gave his husband a shave, Shen Yuhan was a little excited and kept staring at his face until breakfast.
“Honey, your face is so clean.”
Shan Qihuan is now the one whose expression is about to become unnatural.
He unnaturally looked away: “Are you going to eat breakfast or not.”
“Oh, eat.” He found that his awkward husband was a little cute.
The first time he went out to play with others, Shen Yuhan was not very excited, it was just a little more fresh, in the past, his husband would take him there and he would be more excited, but today he is more uneasy, afraid that he will make a mistake.
Shan Qihuan hoped that Shen Yuhan would make friends, so he didn’t offer to send him out today, instead, he asked the driver to take him there, in fact, it wasn’t that far away, only three to five kilometers from their home.
After Shen Yuhan went out, Shan Qihuan made a phone call, and half an hour later, a group of people moved into the house.
At this time, Shen Yuhan was already standing at the address given by Wen You, and all the friends in the group said that they had arrived.
He rang the doorbell, and a familiar face appeared, it was Lian Qi.
“Yuhan, you’re finally here!”
As soon as she shouted, Wen You also poked his head out: “Come in quickly.”
Seeing familiar people, Shen Yuhan felt a little more relaxed about this unfamiliar place.
He entered the house, and greeted them with a smile: “Long time no see.”
Lian Qi laughed and said: “Don’t we meet in the group every day?”
Shen Yuhan also thought that it was true, when he turned his head, he found Wen You looking at him, so he smiled at him.
Wen You coughed and said: “Today, not only our friends in the group are here, but also my classmates, do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
Shen Yuhan shook his head and said: “Thank you, I’m not hungry yet.”
Lian Qi said: “Wen You, what are you in a hurry for, let’s go, Yuhan. I’ll take you to see the others, they’re all playing werewolf7狼人殺 (láng rén shā): lit. werewolf killing; A tabletop game based on the game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow; Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a Russian social deduction game created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986. The game models a conflict between two groups: an informed minority (the mafiosi or the werewolves) and an uninformed majority (the villagers). At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: first, a night-phase, during which those with night-killing-powers may covertly kill other players, and second, a day-phase, in which all surviving players debate and vote to eliminate a suspect. The game continues until a faction achieves its win-condition; for the village, this usually means eliminating the evil minority, while for the minority, this usually means reaching numerical parity with the village and eliminating any rival evil groups. T/N: Not related, but example of game of werewolf is played in one instance of one of my favorite wn, Card Room. The super long chapters is daunting (584 chapters + 26 extras), but the story is really good (if you like thriller/horror). 
inside.”
What is werewolf?
Wen You watched helplessly as Shen Yuhan was taken away, and had no choice but to scratch his head, and follow him.
Shen Yuhan was brought inside, and he met several friends in the group, only one person didn’t come, everyone else was there, and the atmosphere was very relaxed on the whole, there were many people he didn’t know, but everyone was very kind, and someone even brought a chair for him to sit on.
It was only later that he realized what the game ‘Werewolf’ was through the box on the playing cards.
He didn’t know how to play, so he just watched others play, a young man with a clever tongue, engaged in verbal battles, successfully concealed his identity as a werewolf, and won the game.
Shen Yuhan watched and understood, but he didn’t join in, instead, he sat on the side observing the words and actions8一言一行 (yī yán yī xíng): every word and action (idiom); (literary) a word and an action; words and deeds; what one says and does. of these modern young people, which were all very simple and easy to understand.
There are people singing modern love songs in the next room, the lyrics are still straightforward, but they no longer make Shen Yuhan blush9面紅耳赤 (miàn hóng ěr chì): flushed with anger (or excitement); red in the face (from embarrassment, anxiety or anger); one’s/sb’s face reddens to the ears; Describes flushing from excitement or shame., his husband’s whispers of love are even more exciting than these lyrics.
Wen You still found the opportunity to give Shen Yuhan a glass of juice: “Here.”
Shen Yuhan sat on the sofa and thanked him.
Wen You chuckled and said: “You are always very polite.”
Shen Yuhan raised his head: “Ah, is that so?”
Wen You thought he was a little shy: “Do you dislike noisy environments?”
Shen Yuhan replied smoothly: “It’s okay, I’m not very good at playing, so I don’t want to spoil everyone’s fun.”
Wen You are not wrong, he does prefer a quieter atmosphere, probably due to habits and the environment in which he grew up, he can’t speak loudly like them, nor can he laugh heartily, in this kind of environment, he is actually not very comfortable.
Wen You added: “Actually, you can learn it after playing it once, it’s quite simple.”
“No.” Shen Yuhan shook his head, “You go ahead and play, I’ll just watch.” It’s not that he’s being pretentious, he doesn’t really like to be crowded with strange men, it’s because Wen You has been in contact with him several times, he is also considered polite and courteous10彬彬有禮 (bīn bīn yǒu lǐ): to be refined and courteous; urbane; well-mannered., and he had the manners of a gentleman.
“Then I’ll sit here with you.” He casually found a topic, “I also have a brother, but my brother is not as strict as your brother.”
“My brother?” It was only then that Shen Yuhan remembered who he was referring to as his brother, “He’s not my brother.”
Wen You’s heart thumped: “Not your brother? Then is he your maternal cousin? Or paternal cousin?”
“No, he’s my hus-,” Shen Yuhan considered the words, at the thought of his husband, he smiled a little sweetly, “He’s my partner, I’m married.”
Wen You thought he heard wrong, and his voice changed: “You, you are married?”
Shen Yuhan smiled shyly: “Um, I thought you knew, he came to pick me up last time.”
Wen You’s heart was cold, he pulled out a bitter smile: “I didn’t know.”
Shen Yuhan took a sip of juice and said: “Then now you know.”
Wen You, who seemed to have heard some bad news, said in his heart, it would be better to not know it!
He doesn’t know how to get along with Shen Yuhan now, originally, today he wanted to… forget it.
Shen Yuhan sat for a while and felt that this environment was not suitable for him, so he made a decision and told Lian Qi and Wen You that he wanted to go back.
Lian Qi came out from the game and said in surprise: “Why are you going back?”
Shen Yuhan shook his head and said: “There’s something at home suddenly, I have to go back first, you guys have fun.”
Wen You and Lian Qi walked him to the door, Shen Yuhan directly said goodbye to them, his driver had been waiting at the door, then he got into the car and left.
After getting into the car, Shen Yuhan told Uncle Li not to tell his husband that he was going home now.
He still wants to spend Christmas with his husband.
When Shen Yuhan arrived home, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.
There were two Christmas trees taller than a man at the entrance, with small flashing lights hanging on them, which were especially bright.
He pushed the door open and entered the house, the living room is completely new11煥然一新 (huàn rán yī xīn): to look completely new (idiom); brand new; changed beyond recognition; take on an entirely new look., there is also a two-meter-high Christmas tree in the middle, jingle bells Christmas songs are playing at home, and his husband is standing on the herringbone ladder to hang a small gift, after hanging it, he admires it for a while, after making sure that there is no problem, he carefully got down from the ladder.
Shan Qihuan turned around at this exact moment, and he saw Shen Yuhan standing behind him.
His whole body was frozen in this moment: “…”
This is the second time in his life that he wants to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!
