Chapter 83: Chapter 83 New Year’s Gift

And at this moment.

Xiao Fei stood beside Yuxin.

He inserted the four sticks of incense he held one by one.

Then, he glanced at the beautiful woman next to him.

In the light of the lamps and incense, Yuxin’s skin was like snow reflecting light, fine and smooth like jade, her cherry-like lips red without any embellishment, alluring and moist.

Two strands of hair by her cheeks fluttered gently in the wind, adding to her seductive charm, and the pearl earrings on her crystalline earlobes swayed, occasionally flashing dazzlingly as she glanced around.

Her gaze was soft as she looked over, like a Persian cat, lazy and noble. When she softly lifted her eyes, it was as if she awoke from a slumber lasting a century, her long and dense eyelashes curling upwards in a perfect arc.

Standing beside Xiao Fei, her petite figure was straight and elegant, naturally emanating an aura of inaccessibility.

But Xiao Fei knew all of this was just an illusion.

His beloved wife only looked cool and noble, like an ice queen.

Yes, she only looked that way.

The reason she gave such an impression was entirely due to her stunning appearance.

Once she started talking, it wasn’t much, but if the conversation got deeper, others would quickly discover her true nature.

Yuxin is a silly girl.

She is stubborn, but rarely does anything really weigh on her mind.

She is as passionate as fire, but there are very few who truly see this passion.

In front of strangers, Yuxin subconsciously maintains her cool impression, but she knows that if she talks too long with someone, her facade might crumble, so she speaks very little.

This, in turn, makes her seem even more unapproachable.

Only in front of family, especially her lover Xiao Fei, does Yuxin show her true self without reservation.

Like a silly little girl, she would ask for hugs, act coquettishly, create all sorts of fun, and even feel a bit jealous when most of Xiao Fei’s attention is on the baby, thereby clinging to seek attention.

Thinking of all the silly things Yuxin does in daily life, Xiao Fei smiled and turned to look at the incense altar before him.

He made a New Year wish.

...May my wife be healthy and live long, may our parents and family be peaceful and joyful, and may our three children be safe and sound throughout their lives.

The moment the wish was made...

[Beep...]

[A new year with new prospects, the system has prepared a New Year gift for the host, please check it.]

[Beauty and Youth Pill x1, Peace Talisman x3!]

Raising his head, Xiao Fei’s gaze went past the incense altar, and amidst the curling incense smoke, he saw the huge Guanyin statue in the main hall.

The Guanyin, with a flower in her hand and a smile, seemed to be looking at him.

"Husband, what wish did you make?"

Yuxin asked.

Her eyes, round like chestnuts, sparkled with laughter.

Xiao Fei gently pinched her cheek... he liked this action more and more.

Every time he pinched his beloved wife’s face, the slippery feel under his fingertips made him marvel at how there could be such an adorable sprite in the world?

Especially when Yuxin’s usually cool expression started to turn comical because of his pinching, it filled his heart with uncontrollable tenderness.

"Mmm... owww... husband!"

Xiao Fei released Yuxin’s cheek without revealing his wish, instead asking, "How about you? What wish did you make?"

"Heehee... if I say it, it won’t come true. Do you really want to know, husband?"

"Can you guess?"

Yuxin raised an eyebrow.

Bad husband, teasing her again.

She gently headbutted Xiao Fei, and he took the opportunity to hold her.

After a moment, he said, "Let’s go, we’re blocking others from offering incense."

"Mm~"

Nuzzling against Xiao Fei, Yuxin responded in a muffled voice.

Hand in hand, the couple left the incense altar and reached the front of the main hall.

Inside the main hall, a monk stood next to the altar at the entrance, greeting each incense-bearer with a Buddhist salute.

On the altar were longevity lamps of varying sizes and designs.

In front of the Guanyin statue, there was a large wooden rack, with many longevity lamps previously purchased by other incense-bearers already lit upon it.

The aroma of sandalwood filled the air, and the whispering of the incense-bearers echoed around.

Faintly, the sound of chanting could be heard.

From behind the curtain not far away, a monk occasionally struck a bell.

"Husband, husband, these longevity lamps are so pretty!"

Gazing at the longevity lamps waiting to be sold, Yuxin’s eyes shone brightly.

The longevity lamps were designed like lotus flowers, the larger the lamp, the more petals it had.

Xiao Fei pointed to the largest longevity lamp and asked, "How much for this one?"

The monk smiled and quoted a price.

It wasn’t cheap; the largest longevity lamp, placed in Buer Temple for a year, costs thirty thousand.

However, for Xiao Fei, this money was nothing.

He bought nine all at once.

Two for himself and Yuxin, four combining both parents, and three for the three kids.

Two hundred and seventy thousand.

This was a significant amount for ordinary people. The monk took the money, lit the longevity lamps, and then asked, "For the two donors, what names should be inscribed on these longevity lamps?"

Xiao Fei gave the monk the names of his entire family.

Not long after, nine longevity lamps, each with the name of a family member, were placed on the highest wooden rack.

Holding Yuxin’s hand, Xiao Fei stood in line. When it was their turn, the two knelt devoutly on the cushions before the Guanyin statue.

Three kowtows.

After the ceremony, the couple, hand in hand, walked out of the main hall and exchanged smiles.

The next moment, the cold winter wind blew, and Yuxin shivered, instinctively leaning towards Xiao Fei’s embrace.

"Mmm..."

"Your little face must be frozen? Let me warm it up for you."

"Heehee... husband, why are your hands always this warm?"

"Because I need to keep you warm at all times."

"Hehehe... hehehe..."

Xiao Fei’s answer directly touched the softest spot in Yuxin’s heart.

She snuggled against Xiao Fei’s hands, suddenly asking, "What about dad and mom?"

Xiao Fei looked around and didn’t see them, so he pulled out his phone and called Xiao Jun.

After hanging up, Xiao Fei smiled and said, "They’re in the next room enjoying some sweet fermented rice, do you want some?"

"Emmmm..."

Yuxin shook her head.

"I only want to eat what you make, husband. The outside ones don’t taste good."

"Alright, I’ll make it for you tomorrow morning."

"Mua!"

Yuxin tiptoed and gave Xiao Fei a kiss.

The couple, oblivious to others, created a sweet atmosphere, making nearby incense-bearers look on enviously.

Inside the shop, a cute little monk poked his head out from behind the curtain, catching sight of this scene.

His cheeks blushed, and the little monk quickly ducked back in with a whoosh.
