A light snow fell outside, and couples laughed as they walked home hand in hand to escape the cold. You stirred the sauce for your appetizer, glancing impatiently at your watch every now and then. Your tail wagged casually behind you, and your ears perked up when you heard the familiar slam of the courtyard door.

Turning your head to look at the man who entered, you smiled. Moze clutched the box tightly in his hand, not even trying to hide it from you. His nose and cheeks were slightly reddened from the cold of the Yaoqing streets, and his pants and shoes were covered in snow. He seemed in a hurry to get home.

"Get changed and sit down at the table," you called to your husband, turning off the oven and beginning to set the table for dinner, adorning it with the delicious delicacies you'd prepared. "Otherwise, I'll eat it all without you."

Before you knew it, the shadow guard was already behind you, startling you. Oh yeah, you still sometimes got scared by his sudden appearance, all because of his ability to be practically invisible. You sometimes scolded him, but stopped when he looked at you with almost puppy-dog eyes (even if he wouldn't admit it).

"Missed you," the man muttered, leaning on you, pinning you to the counter with his whole body, not letting go of you. Sighing, you raised your hand to his head, scratching his scalp, which made him groan softly.

Your attention was suddenly drawn to the box he was holding when you remembered it. Noticing your gaze on the secret object, Moze cleared his throat. Pressing himself against your chest from behind, he thrust the magical box into your hands, silently asking you to open it.

After fiddling with it, you finally decided to open it. Inside was a pendant with a bright orange stone, as well as a small stuffed fox toy. A soft laugh escaped your lips as you turned to face your husband. When did he get so sentimental?

"This is for you," Moze smiled slightly, kissing the back of your head. Carefully removing the jewelry from the box, he placed it around your neck, admiring how it looked on you. "Happy Valentine's Day, Jiaoqiu."
