Bab 312: All the way.

In bed that night, the smile on Alix's face did not fade and her face continued to shine as it had done all through dinner. 

If he didn't know better, Caishen would easily think that she had just won the lotto that night and she had received the top prize. 

She was so happy that she laughed and sighed loudly for what Caishen counted as the sixth time. He was working on his laptop but the sixth sigh made his fingers stop and he put the laptop down on the bedside table. 

He turned and looked at his wife whose jubilant mood was likely to deny them both sleep. She showed no signs of exhaustion like yawning. In fact, he was surprised that she was not playing a game given how much energy she seemed to have.

He put his hand on her cheek and gently moved his thumb in one spot slowly in circles. 

Her skin was so smooth and her her cheek soft that he wanted to pinch and stretch it the way grandmother's often did with babies.
