Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Comic Convention Event

When it came to his matchmaking experiences, Jiang Yu immediately pulled a long face.

"My mom is really something, always badgering me about it nonstop. It’s driving me crazy."

"The people she sets me up with... I don’t even know what kinds of folks they are..."

"Really? Not even one that catches your eye?"

Yuxin, as a woman herself, immediately perked up at the topic.

"Aren’t you always complaining about wanting to be in a relationship?"

"Among all those candidates, was there really not a single suitable one?"

"Well... there was someone."

"But, how do I put this? I just have a strong aversion to the whole matchmaking thing, you know?"

Jiang Yu started getting cranky.

"It’s gotten to the point where, even if I find someone appealing, as long as we meet through matchmaking, I instinctively reject them."

Yuxin was speechless for a moment.

She stared at Jiang Yu for a while, then finally sighed and said, "You’ve got issues—you should really work on that."

"I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m heading back!"

"Thank you both—Teacher Tang and Xiao Fei—for hosting me today!"

Waving her hand in farewell, Yuxin left Xiao Fei and his wife behind.

At night.

Lying in bed.

Xiao Fei and Yuxin chatted idly back and forth.

The TV mounted on the opposite wall was playing a program, but neither of them paid it any attention.

"...So, that’s the entire background and buildup of the story!"

"Ah, I’m so thirsty. I need some water."

After explaining the plot of the first two installments of *Battle of the Stars* and enthusiastically sharing some behind-the-scenes trivia, Yuxin, parched from talking so much, picked up the water glass on the nightstand and took a sip.

After setting down the glass, she snuggled back into Xiao Fei’s arms.

"Honey, you don’t like this, do you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you barely talk to me about the storyline."

Xiao Fei gently rubbed her head.

"It’s not true. I actually do like it."

"You know, most men are rarely uninterested in epic space battles and massive starships, right?"

"Fair enough."

"But I know—what my hubby likes most of all are those anime girls."

At this, Yuxin shot Xiao Fei a playful but accusing glance.

Xiao Fei laughed sheepishly, and seeing his embarrassed expression, Yuxin felt even more triumphant.

She playfully bumped her forehead against Xiao Fei’s chest.

From just his outward appearance, no one would ever guess her husband was an enthusiastic fan of anime, comics, games, and novel culture. But as his wife, Yuxin was all too aware.

There were still plenty of gorgeous cosplay outfits in her wardrobe, and not all of them had been purchased by Yuxin herself.

"Speaking of which..."

"Honey, if I recall correctly, there’s a convention happening in Shanghai in a few days..."

As Xiao Fei trailed off, his tone became noticeably timid.

A convention...

He really wanted to go.

But how would he explain that to Yuxin?

As expected, the moment she heard him bring it up, Yuxin’s eyes narrowed.

"Oh? A convention?"

"Hubby, don’t tell me you want to go there just to ogle at girls?"

"No, no, no! Totally not going for those women."

Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow.

And he was telling the truth. After all, with a stunning wife like Yuxin at home, those cosplayers didn’t hold a candle to her.

But as an aficionado of the otaku culture, he couldn’t possibly let a convention in his city pass him by.

Suddenly, Xiao Fei had an idea.

"Honey, how about we go to the convention together?"

"Huh? Together?"

"Yes!"

"No way. You go ahead. If we both go, who’ll take care of the baby?"

Yuxin shook her head, rejecting the idea.

Even though she found the thought of hanging out with Xiao Fei appealing, she chose to stay home for the baby’s sake.

Xiao Fei realized she had a point.

Until their baby could take care of themselves, parents had to dedicate their lives to them.

Xiao Fei sighed after giving it some thought.

"Forget it. I won’t go either. The baby is far more important."

Nuzzling against Xiao Fei’s chest, Yuxin blinked at her husband.

It was obvious he was truly eager to attend the convention, but for their child, he had already sacrificed so much.

Yuxin suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

"Honey, why don’t you go?"

"No, no. Compared to any hobby, you and the baby are what matter most."

When you start a family, especially after having children, you inevitably have to give up many things—including your personal interests.

Yuxin hugged Xiao Fei’s arm a little tighter, quietly making a decision in her heart.

The next morning, Yuxin left home early.

The excuse she gave Xiao Fei was that she was going shopping with Jiang Yu.

Xiao Fei didn’t give it much thought.

By the afternoon, Yuxin came home carrying several large shopping bags.

"What did you buy?"

"Hehe... Honey! Come with me!"

With that, Yuxin pulled Xiao Fei into the bedroom.

As soon as they stepped inside, Yuxin cheerfully exclaimed, "Honey! Take off your clothes!"

Xiao Fei: "...??????"

He froze for a moment, then said, "But... It’s broad daylight."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Honey, you’re such a naughty boy! What’s going on in your head?!"

Yuxin teasingly flicked Xiao Fei’s forehead, then excitedly opened one of her shopping bags.

"Ta-da!"

Looking at the various cosplay gear Yuxin had just pulled out, Xiao Fei was momentarily stunned.

"Hehe, Honey, even if we can’t go to the convention, we can still have fun at home!"

"It’s always me dressing up in costumes—today, it’s your turn!"

"Did you go out today just for this?"

"Yup!"

Yuxin nodded enthusiastically.

Xiao Fei didn’t know what to say for a moment.

This girl always managed to surprise him, making him fall just a little more in love with her each day.

"Are you touched?"

"I am!"

Xiao Fei hugged Yuxin close, playfully tapping her nose before giving her a kiss on the forehead.

Yuxin quickly pushed him away, her face lighting up with excitement.

"Come on, come on!"

"Let your wife give you a total makeover!"

"I’ve prepared outfits for Kirito from *Sword Art Online* and Dante from *Devil May Cry*!"

Xiao Fei chuckled in amused frustration.

"Dante then. Kirito... I’m too tall—it’d look weird."

"I thought so too. Honey’s Dante cosplay is going to be ridiculously handsome!"

Yuxin said as she pulled out the Dante costume.

Then, curling her fingers into claws, she approached Xiao Fei step by step like a mischievous little punk.

"Hehehe, Honey, be good and take off your clothes!"

After just two steps, the mischievous girl suddenly tripped on her own feet, nearly face-planting in front of Xiao Fei.

Thankfully, Xiao Fei quickly caught her, preventing her crash onto the floor.

"Why are you so careless?"

"Just too excited, I guess."

Yuxin smiled sheepishly as she straightened herself.

"Let’s not dwell on that—come on, Honey, let’s get started!"

"I even bought Dante’s Rebel Blade for you!"
