However, to his surprise, on February 13, Chu Cheng asked, “Do you have plans for tomorrow?
“No.” Ji Qingzhou truthfully replied, “You’ve been very busy recently, so we can have dinner tomorrow. I’ll come to your company to find you when you’re done.”
“Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, you’re just going to have a meal with me and let me continue working?”
“You can’t delay your work.” Ji Qingzhou replied rationally.
Chu Cheng thought he was being too sensible. “So you don’t have plans for tomorrow, right?”
Ji Qingzhou nodded.
“That’s good, I made arrangements for tomorrow, you just have to go along with it.”
Now Ji Qingzhou was curious, “What arrangements did you make?”
“I’ll take you out to play.”
“Where? No wait, you have tomorrow off? Is it okay? It’s almost New Year’s Eve yet you look so tired, will you be able to rest on time?”
“Yes, if I was going to work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I wouldn’t need to work so much overtime.”
“So, you’re going to be with me for two days?”
Chu Cheng pinched his face, “Yes, are you happy?”
Ji Qingzhou happily nodded.
Chu Cheng smiled, “Then go to sleep, tomorrow I’ll take you out to play.”
Ji Qingzhou laid in his arms, he didn’t ask where they were going, but his imaginations were really active that night.
The next morning, Ji Qingzhou got up early, ate breakfast and left with Chu Cheng. As the scenery along the way slowly became familiar, he instantly figured out their destination, “You want to take me to the villa, right?”
“Don’t you like it?” Chu Cheng gave him a look.
Ji Qingzhou did like it, as he remembered the last time they were there, he couldn’t surpress his smile.
Chu Cheng saw him smile, which confirmed that he did like it there, after all, getting a day of leisure was always relaxing and enjoyable.
He drove all the way into the mountain, Ji Qingzhou quickly got out of the car when they arrived, although he had only been there once, he remembered the way so he walked to the villa without asking for directions.
“Open it.”
Chu Cheng went ahead and opened the door and took him inside. They went to Chu Cheng’s yard first and put their things there, Chu Cheng asked first, “Hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
“I’m not hungry yet, what are we going to do?”
“Let’s watch a movie.” Chu Cheng replied.

The movie wasn’t bad, Ji Qingzhou was very satisfied, after the movie finished, they got hungry and decided to cook. Chu Cheng naturally did it with Ji Qingzhou, “I’ll do what you like, you can do what I like, one person does two dishes.”
“Okay.” Ji Qingzhou had no opinion.
He was very fast, not much time had passed but he had already cut the meat and vegetables, but Chu Cheng was much slower, cautious and somewhat clumsy, as Ji Qingzhou watched him, the smile on his face gradually deepened, but he didn’t laugh out loud, he only corrected him a couple of times.
It got dark early during winter, after the meal, the sky was almost dark.
Chu Cheng turned to Ji Qingzhou, “Want to go to the hot spring?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Ji Qingzhou followed him all the way towards the hot spring, he remembered that the hot spring here was built in the garden, and this season, the plum blossoms had blossomed, it was extremely beautiful. However, when he was about to enter the garden, Ji Qingzhou looked ahead, he vaguely felt that the garden seemed different from the day he came.
He walked over curiously and was stunned in place, he was almost in disbelief at the scenery in front of him.
The plum trees were filled with star lights and moon lights of different heights, emitting a gentle glow and enveloping the roses in the garden. Those roses were in full bloom, burning like fire in the moonlight, in the light and in the darkness of the night, it looked regal and beautiful.
“Do you like it?” Chu Cheng hugged him from behind.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “When did you get this, there are so many roses, and these lights, you spent a lot of time on it, right?”
“It’s okay.” Chu Cheng said lightly, “It’s good that you like it.”
“I like it.” Ji Qingzhou tilted his head to look at him.
Chu Cheng kissed him and said in warmly, “I have a gift for you.”
He let go of Ji Qingzhou, took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to Ji Qingzhou.
When Ji Qingzhou opened it, there was a beautiful rose brooch inside. Under the light, the diamonds on the rose shone brightly.
“The day you went to receive the award, I wanted to pin it on your suit, I thought you’d look good wearing it.”
Ji Qingzhou stared it for a while before he put it away, “I’ll wear it when I walk the red carpet next time.”
“Okay.”
“I prepared a gift for you too.” Ji Qingzhou said, “But, it’s in my bag, I’ll go get it.”
He was ready to return to Chu Cheng’s courtyard, but was stopped by Chu Cheng, “There’s no hurry, let’s go to the hot spring first.”
Ji Qingzhou thought about it then he nodded, “That’s fine.”
They calmly entered the hot spring, Ji Qingzhou felt the temperature of the hot spring water and relaxed. He leaned against the wall, looking at the sea of flowers in front of him, and then looked at the star lights not far away, as the wind blew, those lights gently swayed, like shooting stars.
“It’s beautiful.” Ji Qingzhou murmured.
He looked down at the water surface of the hot spring, some plum and rose petals floated on it, Ji Qingzhou reached out and picked up a rose petal, the petal was very thin, as it laid in his palm, it reflected the moonlight and light, making it look like a rocking boat.
Ji Qingzhou looked at the petal in his hand, then he lowered his head and kissed it, then turned to Chu Cheng and put the petal over his lips.
Chu Cheng froze for a moment, he hadn’t reacted when Ji Qingzhou came closer and fiercely kissed him through the flower petal.
They kissed and kissed, the petal was pushed to the corners of their mouths, as the wind blew, ruby-like petals fluttered with the wind and once again moved away with the flowing water, leaving the couple to kiss without obstruction.
“Do you want to try it here?” Chu Cheng hoarsely asked.
Ji Qingzhou didn’t want to, so he shook his head, “Let’s go back to the house.”
Chu Cheng always obeyed him, so he didn’t say anything, he picked him up and threw the bathrobe over his body as a cover, then he carried him to the small wooden house near the garden.
The moment Ji Qingzhou entered the house, he realized that it wasn’t only the garden, the house was also full of roses, it was different from the garden, the house had red, white and blue roses. He looked up and saw the star lights hanging from the roof.
As Chu Cheng moved them towards the bed, Ji Qingzhou looked up and saw the stars in the sky outside the slanting glass window. He turned around and stretched out his hand to open the window, but Chu Cheng hugged him in protest. “The wind is heavy, you’ll catch a cold.”
Ji Qingzhou stopped and turned to look at him.
Chu Cheng kissed him, and slowly placed him on the bed.
Ji Qingzhou noticed that there were many rose petals scattered on the bed. He looked down and found himself covered with several pieces. Chu Cheng looked at him, his white skin was covered with many red petals, one by one, they looked like butterflies.
He pulled his hand and slowly kissed the petals off his hand and arm, and then kissed other places the petals laid on.
He finally kissed Ji Qingzhou’s lips and said in a warm voice, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Ji Qingzhou hummed in response and he and Chu Cheng, in a sea of flowers, drove up the Mountain.
He smelled the fragrance of roses, he saw rose after rose and the gentle and tender look in Chu Cheng’s eyes.
After coming down from the Mountain, Ji Qingzhou quietly leaned in Chu Cheng’s arms. While helping him clean the flower petals on his body, Chu Cheng asked, “Do you remember what I gave you last Valentine’s Day?”
“I remember, roses and chocolates.” Ji Qingzhou replied without thinking.
“Do you still want chocolate this year?”
Ji Qingzhou looked at him with a teasing expression. “If i don’t want it, won’t you still give it to me?”
Chu Cheng pinched his face, turned around and pulled open the bedside cabinet, then he opened the small refrigerator inside, and pulled out a paper bag of the same brand of chocolate from last year. Ji Qingzhou took it in surprise, he quickly opened the outer bag, and then opened the carton containing the chocolate. Sure enough, the chocolate was the same shape as last year’s.
He took one out and tasted it, then he looked up and smiled at Chu Cheng, “It’s the same as last year.”
Chu Cheng looked at him with a smile, and Ji Qingzhou picked up one and fed it to him, then he slowly kissed him.
He remembered that he seemed to have done the same thing last year, – and Chu Cheng ate the piece of chocolate and received a chocolate kiss.
Ji Qingzhou felt happy, those things that had happened, Chu Cheng remembered, and those he had wanted, he had gotten. He exchanged gifts with Chu Cheng last year, and he thought that made him happy, but this year, he and Chu Cheng finally had their first Valentine’s Day as a couple, and he realized that he could still be happier.
“I wanted to spend Valentine’s Day with you last year.” Ji Qingzhou said in a low voice.
Chu Cheng smiled but his heart ached a little, he didn’t know when Ji Qingzhou fell in love with him, during their time together, Ji Qingzhou never acted like he wanted to cross the line, because he always abided by the contract.
If not for the fact that he treated him differently from others, if not for the fact that the day he confessed, Ji Qingzhou said yes directly, he wouldn’t have known that he ever really liked him.
But now, Chu Cheng knew that Ji Qingzhou started liking him earlier than last year’s Valentine’s Day.
“We did spend it together last year.” Chu Cheng hugged him and spoke gently, “In the future, we will also continue to spend it together, next year’s Valentine’s Day, the year after and after.”
“Last year, when you suddenly sent a WeChat about coming back, were you jealous because Yao Xiuyuan told you that I was having dinner with Ying Nian?”
“Or what?” Chu Cheng frankly replied, “I can’t be jealous? I have the right to be jealous, okay?”
Ji Qingzhou lost his smile, “How can you eat everyone’s vinegar, senior brother’s, Ying Nian’s too, don’t you mind the acidity?”
Chu Cheng looked at him, “Who let me like you?”
Ji Qingzhou was sure he didn’t like him at that time, but his mouth couldn’t help but ask, “You liked me at that time?”
“Of course, I’ve always liked you.”
“Since when?”
Chu Cheng thought about it, when did he start to change his mind about Ji Qingzhou, and even slowly developed a caring mentality? Not the very beginning, nor the time he went home with him but refused to drive, perhaps it was that night, their first night stay at the hospital, Ji Qingzhou made him feel pity, or that afternoon when he and Ji Qingzhou went swimming, he kissed Ji Qingzhou for the first time.
Chu Cheng thought of this and suddenly laughed, “Probably from the time I kissed your left cheek and you hinted that I could kiss the right side.”
That was the first time he felt that Ji Qingzhou wanted to fulfill the contract with him properly, and he started to make an effort to adapt to their relationship, and also started to think for himself.
Ji Qingzhou didn’t expect it to be so early. “That early?”
At that time, he just transmigrated, and it had just been a few days.
