Although he got drunk last night, Su Hang's stubborn biological clock forced him to wake before 8:00 a.m. Rubbing his throbbing temples, Su Hang slowly staggered downstairs.

"You're awake?" Shen Xi stood up from the living room sofa when she saw him come down.

"Good morning." Seeing Shen Xi, Su Hang walked down the stairs faster.

Shen Xi, who originally wanted to immediately reprimand the man, saw his suffering and didn't have the heart to do it. Instead, she simply sighed and passed him a glass of water. "Is it painful?"

Su Hang took a sip of water and nodded pitifully.

"You deserve it!" Shen Xi scolded.

"Are you angry?" Su Hang carefully looked at his wife's face.

"Didn't I tell you to drink less yesterday?" Shen Xi huffed.

"I was wrong." A terrified Su Hang readily admitted to his mistakes.

"If you drink so much again in the future, I won't take care of you again." Shen Xi told him.

"If I drink again, you can just throw me to some corner." Su Hang replied.

"If I catch you getting this drunk again, I'll go back and live with my parents." Shen Xi threatened.

"No, I promise I'm never drinking again." Su Hang immediately grabbed Shen Xi's hand, his expression turning nervous.

Sure enough, this kind of trick always worked. Looking at the man's nervous expression, Shen Xi was almost unable to hold back her laugh.

They both went to the kitchen, and Shen Xi served Su Hang a bowl of light porridge. As Su Hang began eating, he noticed something strange. He asked: "Why don't I see Mrs. Zhang?"

"Mrs. Zhang is on holiday." Shen Xi explained.

"Holiday?"

"Chinese New Year is approaching." Shen Xi reminded.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Su Hang looked down at his porridge and asked: "Then, where did this porridge come from?"

"I made it."

Su Hang's spoon paused. The bland porridge immediately transformed into a sweet and delicious meal. He picked up his bowl and started eating, finishing the porridge in just a couple of bites. He looked like a homeless man who had been hungry for days. After finishing his food, Shen Xi stood up and served him another bowl. After doing this for two or three times, Shen Xi couldn't help but say: "I was afraid that you would be hungover and wouldn't have a good appetite, so I just cooked some porridge. But you seem to be in good spirits, ah."

"The porridge is delicious." Su Hang told her, satisfaction all over his face.

Because she thought Su Hang would be suffering from a hangover, Shen Xi had planned for him to simply rest at home. But now that he seemed to be well, she changed her mind and said: "Let's go out and buy some new year's products after you're done."

"Alright, let's go and buy it together." Su Hang nodded.

After breakfast, they drove to the nearest mall.

Although there weren't a lot of cars outside, the mall was still very busy. Shen Xi and Su Hang stood in the supermarket and watched as the crowd rushed around to do their new year's shopping. They felt somewhat dazed at everyone's explosive energy.
