"Uncle..."

"This uncle is always worrying that she'll be bullied."

"Uncle, you can be rest assured...in the future...from now on, she'll have me." Xia Feng valiantly tried to straighten in his seat, but in the end, he could only slump onto the table.

Father Yu smiled as he looked down at his son-in-law, it seems that he ended up on the table again.

"Dad!" Yu Dong had been silently sitting on the side. With tearful eyes, she looked at her loving father and sniffled.

Father Yu smiled, and as if she had reverted back to her childhood, he reached out to pat Yu Dong on the head.

This gentle hand brought tears to Yu Dong's eyes.

"Hey, why are you crying?" The dazed Xia Feng looked up only to see Yu Dong's tears. With his heart aching he reached out to wipe them away.

"Don't cry, I just promised uncle that I'll be protecting you now." Xia Feng's warm hand rubbed Yu Dong's cheek as if he were coaxing a child.

Yu Dong smiled and nodded.

At this Xia Feng relaxed and the alcohol seems to have taken its toll, because he then leaned against Yu Dong and dozed off.

When Mother Yu came out of the kitchen, she was met with the image of three drunk men on her table.

The morning of New Year's Day.

Xia Feng was awakened by a ray of sunshine sneaking past the curtains. Opening his eyes, the first thing he sees is the soundly sleeping Yu Dong.

Their breaths mingling, foreheads touching, a soft waist between his arms.

Xia Feng looked at her long eyelashes and couldn't help but gently kiss them.

Yu Dong's eyelids trembled, then opened. A pair of beautiful eyes, their depths clear and bright, shot straight through Xia Feng's heart.

"Good morning!" Xia Feng didn't release her, instead, he inched closer as he smiled.

"Good morning!" Yu Dong responded with a sweet smile of her own.

Xia Feng blinked, then gently brought her closer to him. His body blocked the wisp of sunlight, shading Yu Dong's face.

Yu Dong couldn't help but close her eyes when she felt Xia Feng's familiar lips. She could still taste the alcohol he had last night as he licked every inch of her mouth. From her lips to her teeth, to the inside of her mouth, his slightly higher temperature warmed her.

Xia Feng was like a tyrant, constantly attacking the city, and Yu Dong was utterly defeated.

The two only separated when they finally exhausted all their oxygen. A sliver of saliva bound them together, as if their lips were against them separating.

Xia Feng sighed as he loosed his grip. He started to smooth Yu Dong's messy hair and softly said: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Yu Dong replied, her eyes avoiding him in embarrassment.

"I just thought of my New Year's wish." Xia Feng hugged Yu Dong to his chest and rested his chin on top of her head.

"What is it?" Yu Dong asked curiously.

"I wish that every time I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see will be you."

At this, Yu Dong twisted and raised her head, looking into Xia Feng's eyes. After giving him a sweet smile, she burrowed back into Xia Feng's embrace.
