The two of them were kissing when a knock on the door suddenly sounded, ‘Dudu Dudu’, instantly waking up Shen Qingshu’s slightly hazy mind after being kissed.

He almost immediately pushed away Han Cheng and said, “Go and open the door.”

As he spoke, Shen Qingshu turned Han Cheng around and told him to walk forward.

Han Cheng had no choice but to walk to the door and thought to himself, ‘Who is it? It’s too unfortunate to pick this time to come.’

It’s definitely not his mother!

He opened the door and saw Han Yu standing outside, with a graceful and unrestrained demeanour, without the consciousness of disturbing anyone.

“Did I disturb you? “Han Yu asked.

“What do you think?” Han Cheng looked at him in dissatisfaction, “What’s the matter?”

Han Yu took out three red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to his angry younger brother, “New Year’s money, my parents have gone to bed and told me to give it to you by the way.”

Han Cheng remembered that he hadn’t received any New Year’s money yet.

Their family has always had the habit of giving New Year’s money. Their parents will treat him and his ge equally, and his ge will secretly give him another share.

He looked at the red envelope in front of him and the frustration of being disturbed just now couldn’t help but dissipate. “Thank you ge.”

“Oh, you’re not angry anymore?” Han Yu deliberately teased him.

Han Cheng was speechless and said, “Almost. Is there anything else?”

“Where’s Qingqing?” Han Yu asked him,” Did he already sleep?”

Shen Qingshu hurriedly walked over and poked his head to indicate his existence, “Not yet.”

Han Yu was menged1 by his cat-like expression and waved him closer.

Shen Qingshu approached curiously and saw Han Yu taking out three red envelopes from his pocket on the other side. “Here, this is yours.”

Shen Qingshu looked at the red envelope in his hand and blinked, feeling both surprised and pleased. He still remembered that last year during the Chinese New Year, Han Yu gave him a red envelope, saying that all unmarried people in his family receive red envelopes.

But at that time, there were only three people at home: him, Han Yu, and Han Cheng. Han Yu gave Han Cheng a red envelope, which inevitably led to not wanting him to be embarrassed, so there was also one given to him.

Unexpectedly, he gave him another one this year.

Not only him, but also his parents gave him a red envelope.

Same as Han Cheng, three red envelopes.

Shen Qingshu immediately laughed and reached out to take it, sweetly saying, “Thank you, gege.”

“You’re welcome. In the new year, I wish you and xiao Cheng to be happy, healthy, and have successful careers.”

Shen Qingshu nodded, looking at him with a fond gaze.

He really likes the atmosphere of this home and the feeling of being treated like family.

——Before he came to this world, his parents would also send him red envelopes, and his brother would secretly give him money during normal times.

Gege, I also wish you a happy New Year, and next year you should be happy, healthy, and have a smooth career.”

“En.”

Han Yu smiled at the two of them. He had finished sending red envelopes and said, “I’m going, good night,” then turned around and walked towards his room.

Shen Qingshu looked at his back, his heart filled with joy.

He looked down at the red envelope in his hand and found that this year’s red envelope felt soft and didn’t seem like a card, so he curiously opened it and took a look.

At this glance, it was truly shocking.

Good heavens! This family has switched from sending bank cards to sending checks this year!

Shen Qingshu looked at the amount on the check and felt that they were truly the richest man and his wife and the son of the richest man. Spending more and more money each time.

“Your parents and your gege are so generous.”

Shen Qingshu showed him the check in his hand and said, “I’ve never received so much New Year’s money before.”

Han Cheng looked contemptuously at him and said, “Is that all? You can only buy a car to play with. I’ll give you more in the future.”

He said, stuffing all three red envelopes in his hand into Shen Qingshu’s pocket, “Here, these are all for you, buy a good car.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu quickly took out the red envelope and stuffed them back into his hand, “What are you doing? This is your lucky money.”

“For you.” Han Cheng pushed back the red envelopes in his hand, “I am very conscious. Starting from this year, I will submit my salary card and my personal money to you. The red envelope is also considered private money, so I will give it to you too.”

Shen Qingshu chuckled and said, “Will you also hand in your private money?”

“What kind of private money does a man need? An excellent man does not need private money!”

“What do they need then?”

Han Cheng put his hands on his shoulders and said, “Of course I only need a wife.”

“You’re the wife!” Shen Qingshu snorted softly.

“You’ve already met my parents, aren’t you my wife?” Han Cheng smiled and kissed his face.” You have already entered our Han family’s door, so naturally you’re my wife.”

Shen Qingshu pushed him lightly, turned around and wanted to leave. Han Cheng grabbed him, approached his lips, and kissed him directly.

He didn’t kiss properly either, he rubbed and bit lightly.

Shen Qingshu couldn’t resist his deliberate seduction, so he hugged his neck and responded by biting back at his lips.

Han Cheng smiled and kissed his lips, then before Shen Qingshu could react, he picked him up and carried him to the bed.

As soon as Shen Qingshu wanted to speak, he kissed him again and could only bear his invasion again.

It wasn’t until he finished kissing in a daze that he remembered and reminded Han Cheng, “Time has passed.”

“What time?” Han Cheng was still immersed in the sweetness of the moment.

“Did you forget that we talked about announcing our relationship at midnight this new year?”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng really forgot!

At midnight, they were still kissing, and he didn’t even have the heart to announce it, his mind was full of kissing him!

Shen Qingshu knew from his appearance that he had really forgotten, but he didn’t remember it himself, so everyone was half hearted. Even if he only took fifty steps back, he was embarrassed to laugh. 2

Shen Qingshu couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that they were really a bit funny. Even though they had already agreed before, in the end they forgot.

But it’s not their fault either. Who made the atmosphere so good at the time? His mind was full of kissing, and he couldn’t remember anything else.

“Should we make the official announcement now?” He asked Han Cheng, “or should we announce it tomorrow morning?”

Han Cheng looked at his watch and it wasn’t too late, only 00:15.

“Announce it, post it at 21 minutes, the meaning is not bad.”

“21？”

Han Cheng smiled and kissed him on the face, “I love you~” 3

Shen Qingshu immediately laughed again, indeed this was also a good time.

“I’ll send it first and you can forward it.”

“I’ll send it first and you forward it,” Han Cheng argued.” I don’t want them to say you’re the only one taking the initiative.”

“I still care about this?” Shen Qingshu tilted his head, his expression was open, and his eyes were full of confidence, “Now that I have both box office and awards, am I still afraid of these rumours?”

He may have been really worried about him and Han Cheng publicly before, and people may think he is not worthy of Han Cheng and maliciously speculate about their love. However, now he has stood at the top of the industry, with box office and awards. He has used his own efforts to reach the pinnacle, so it doesn’t matter what others say.

——No matter what others say, he has already done his best.

So for him, that’s enough.

Han Cheng saw that he was full of confidence, so he didn’t persist anymore. “Okay, then you can post first.”

Shen Qingshu approached him and took a selfie.

Then added text and to say, [Happy New Year, we will also celebrate the New Year together in the future @Han Cheng [Heart].]

The accompanying picture is the selfie he just took.

He didn’t send it directly, but set it to be automatically sent at 00:21.

Han Cheng also prepared a photo with text as well. Waiting for him to post it first before forwarding it.

At 00:21, the post appeared on Weibo promptly.

Han Cheng quickly forwarded: [Accompanying you during the Chinese New Year, I will also accompany you for the rest of my life.]

The accompanying picture was just taken by him in the courtyard of  Shen Qingshu looking up at the fireworks.

The photo contained tenderness and beauty. The person in the photo looked up at the brilliant fireworks, his features were picturesque, and anyone could see happiness on his face.

Shen Qingshu didn’t expect that he had secretly hidden such a picture. After looking at it again and again, he couldn’t help but save it in the end.

“Taking a sneak photo of me,” he looked at Han Cheng.

Han Cheng is straightforward and righteous, “I’ve taken many photos secretly.”

“Let me take a look.” Shen Qingshu immediately became interested and reached out to get Han Cheng’s phone.

Han Cheng didn’t refuse either. He hugged the person in his arms and looked with him.

He clicked into his album, which had several folders containing photos related to Shen Qingshu. Han Cheng didn’t remember when he started taking pictures of him, nor did he remember which photo he first took of Shen Qingshu. However, when he realised there were already many photos of Shen Qingshu in his album. His album was almost all of Shen Qingshu.

There are many types of photos, including those he took himself, those he saved online, and magazine photos that his fans shared with him with their watermark. Every photo he likes and thinks looks good, he saves it and even categorises it.

Shen Qingshu noticed that he only had two folders with official names, one named “QingQing is the cutest” and the other named “QingQing is super beautiful”. The other folders were all named by the system like “photos” or “weixin“. 4 

“Are these two different?” Shen Qingshu pointed to the two folders related to himself. Is there a difference between being the cutest and super beautiful?”

“Of course there is.” Han Cheng nodded and showed it to him.” The cutest ones are all taken by me, and the super beautiful ones are from others. I saved them from online.”

Shen Qingshu: … You are really a qualified fan!

You not only spend money, but also save pictures!

No wonder you will be like a fish in water in my fan club. They all love you, because you have too many common topics!

So didn’t you share what you shot with my fans.

You guys are so scheming!

“Of course not,” said Han Cheng was boldly possessive. “It’s private and exclusive, and I won’t share it.”

Shen Qingshu chuckled lightly and kissed him on the chin, “Really cute.”

“And we hadn’t gone public. I want to share it, but I have no choice.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? Didn’t you just say you won’t share ? !

“Aiya,” Han Cheng looked at him, with a little caution in his eyes, “It’s just because some photos are too suitable to show affection.”

For example, the fireworks photo just now, look at how beautiful he took it! How sweet he looks!

Shen Qingshu knew that his Versailles rose was definitely not a shy rose personality that quietly bloomed. When Han Cheng’s rose bloomed, it had to be the branches and leaves flying, rich and fragrant. Even if there was no wind, he would still dance on his own and show you how gorgeous his petals were, stacked one after another.

Thinking of publicity, Shen Qingshu picked up his phone and clicked on Weibo to see the reactions of netizens.

However, as soon as he opened the hot search, he saw a Weibo prompt indicating that the system had crashed.

En, it’s definitely the Weibo he’s familiar with, and it’s not surprising at all!

The author has something to say: Han Cheng: The roses of Versailles I produce are never shy or quiet!

QingQing: I know!

Father Han: That’s right!

Han Yu: Yes!

21, is a buzzword on the Internet, which means “love you”. From the perspective of homophony and many other aspects. 

Number of strokes

In simplified Chinese characters, the number of strokes for deep love and happiness is 21, so this number is used by many people to represent the beauty of love. 

Soul Weight

There is a theory that a person loses three-quarters of an ounce, or 21 grams, suddenly after death. Therefore, there is a saying that the human soul weighs 21 grams. Love itself is the attraction between two souls. It is also possible to interpret the meaning of love represented by 21 from this aspect.

The meaning of Book of Changes

Book of Changes or Classic of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text that is among the oldest of the Chinese classics. The number 21 is also explained in detail. 21 in the Book of Changes is a very auspicious number. People whose names have 21 strokes have a happy and harmonious family, and the husband and wife respect each other, which is a very harmonious and smooth fortune.
