Lin Yu placed the greeting card into Maomao's hands.
He asked her to take it, along with the gift, to the main hall.
For a message intended for such a public setting, Lin Yu didn't dare write anything too explicit.
Who knew?
Once everyone was caught, they might all meet up and pass the cards around to read.
If anyone didn't dare show theirs, it would inevitably cause chaos.
Of course.
Even with restrained language, he still had to write something specific for each person that would make them feel his affection.
Maomao looked at the card in her hand, feeling waves of warmth in her heart.
[I hope the future you always houses a sparkling, adorable child in your heart!]
[You are the world's freest big friend, and also the little friend I envy the most!]
...
On the first floor, aside from the dining room.
Another suitable place for hiding was the communal laundry room.
Without the lights on, it was pitch black inside—a perfect hiding spot.
Old rules applied.
After Lin Yu entered, the first thing he did was close the door.
Creating a "private space" for the capture was necessary to facilitate his actions.
Clang!
After shutting the door.
Lin Yu didn't rush to turn on the light. Instead, he scanned the small laundry room.
Seeing a "human-shaped coat rack" in the corner with a hoodie draped over its head.
Lin Yu almost burst out laughing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So my house bought a new standing coat rack?"
"I didn't even know we added such a large piece of furniture!"
Lin Yu walked up to the "standing coat rack," looked at the shoes peeking out from underneath, and couldn't help teasing.
Despite this, the other party remained unmoved.
Good, good, good.
This perseverance was worthy of admiration.
Even though she was cornered in the laundry room, she managed to maintain her usual calm.
Ordinary people didn't possess such psychological resilience!
Of course.
Aside from resilience, it was also possible she was just too panicked to face him!
Choosing to hide under someone else's clothes left in the laundry room—wasn't that a bit rude?
Usually, one would use their own clothes to cover their head.
Wearing a hoodie in the middle of summer...
Standing so straight, her legs were even more upright than Lin Yu's moral character...
And a girl who could remain motionless even after being discovered...
There was only one in the entire apartment!
Lin Yu stepped closer and lifted the hoodie from the bottom up, like lifting a bridal veil.
Under the hoodie, Little Fufu, wearing oversized black-rimmed glasses, had her eyes squeezed shut.
Feeling the "veil" being lifted, she first opened her right eye.
Only after confirming it was Lin Yu did she open her eyes completely.
"You... you found... me."
Ye Mengfu said softly, her hands behind her back.
Before she could finish speaking, her face had turned completely red.
Lin Yu tossed the hoodie up as if it were a veil.
Before it fell, he quickly ducked his head underneath it.
He planted a domineering kiss on Little Fufu's lips.
The kiss lasted a long time.
Little Fufu's hands, previously behind her back, unconsciously wrapped around Lin Yu...
When the hoodie was lifted again, Little Fufu's black-rimmed glasses were askew.
A tuft of hair on top of her head stood up due to static electricity, making her look even more mischievous.
Lin Yu wiped the corner of his mouth and couldn't help teasing:
"Did you eat orange candy? So sweet."
Ye Mengfu blinked incessantly in shyness, pursed her lips tight, and nodded gently.
Lin Yu rubbed Little Fufu's head:
"Since I caught you, shouldn't there be some reward?"
Only then did Ye Mengfu remember. She fished out an exquisite sketchbook from her kangaroo pocket.
"H-Happy Birthday. This is my... gift."
Little Fufu held the sketchbook with both hands and presented it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu set Little Fufu's hoodie aside and steadily took the small sketchbook.
To be precise, it looked more like a square handmade book.
"Sss, I'm so excited! Can I open it and take a look?"
Receiving Little Fufu's nod of approval.
Lin Yu carefully opened the book. On the first page, he saw...
The familiar rabbit!
Only this time, it was a little gray rabbit!
The little gray rabbit crouched on one side of the page, looking vivid and lifelike.
The background was a vibrant vegetable patch and a bright apple tree.
Lin Yu turned to the second page. The content was almost identical to the previous one.
Except for a slight change in the movement of the little gray rabbit's front paws.
It looked like it was trying to reach out of the book.
Lin Yu instantly understood!
"Is this... a flipbook?"
Ye Mengfu was just wondering if she should explain it to Lin Yu.
Hearing him say it outright, she immediately nodded in confirmation.
Lin Yu went back to the first page and quickly flipped through the pages.
The static drawings began to move one by one, creating a visual animation.
The little gray rabbit, reaching its paws out of the frame, pulled in...
A little white rabbit from the outside!
The gray and white rabbits ate vegetables together in the patch, picked apples, ran freely, and even drew pictures together...
As the pages flipped, Lin Yu's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the beginning of his rebirth.
Bit by bit, his encounters with Little Fufu replayed in his mind.
This quiet and timid girl had truly given him the best of everything she had.
Every gift she gave was so special and thoughtful.
From composition ratios to the actual drawing.
From repeated revisions to binding it into a book.
Every step was incredibly complex and required immense patience.
A slight mistake anywhere might require redoing the preceding drawings as well.
One could imagine how much weight the book finally presented in Lin Yu's hands carried.
"Little Fufu, thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
"This is the most unique and special existence among all the gifts I received today."
"You're making my eyes sting a bit. Little Fufu, do you want to make me cry? This must have taken a long time, right?"
[Ding!]
[Superb Move. The Holy Son's love for the Dao Companion's gift has filled the Dao Companion's heart with great joy!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Ye Mengfu was even more excited than if she had received a gift herself.
The gift she gave had truly gained Lin Yu's approval!
"No, not very long. It was fast."
Ye Mengfu responded softly, her eyes glancing at the blank greeting card in Lin Yu's hand.
Ye Mengfu didn't know if others liked the entertainment game Maomao had devised.
But she personally liked it very much.
Especially the opportunity to receive a handwritten message from Lin Yu on a card.
Each one was different, and she really wanted to know what Lin Yu would say to her.
Lin Yu naturally understood what Little Fufu was expecting in her heart.
Worthy of being the Empress who is stunningly beautiful, models motherly virtue to the world, and rules the Six Palaces!
The main wife truly had the demeanor of a main wife.
Not fighting, not snatching, just standing there quietly, possessing a unique charm.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and began to write on the card...
...
