I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the warm sun dispelled the chill of winter. After a busy schedule of visiting relatives and friends, Chen Jia and Chen Jue had some free time and decided to go shopping together to feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year.

In the morning, Chen Jia carefully selected a light pink brocade robe with delicate plum blossom patterns embroidered on it, and soft white fluff on the collar and cuffs, which was both warm and charming. She combed her hair carefully in front of the bronze mirror and inserted a jade hairpin with a butterfly carved on the head, as if it would flutter and fly in the next second. Chen Jue wore a dark blue robe with simple and elegant cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread, and a black square scarf on his head, looking elegant.

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia, who was dressed up carefully, with eyes full of love, and said with a smile: "My lady, dressed like this today, is really as beautiful as a fairy. I'm sure you will attract a lot of attention when you walk on the street."

Chen Jia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said lightly, "You always tease me. Today we are going shopping, not to attend a banquet, so just dress comfortably."

The two walked out of the mansion hand in hand and got on the carriage. The carriage drove slowly on the street. Through the window, they saw that the shops on the street were decorated with lights, festive spring couplets were posted on the doors, and various exquisite paper-cuts were posted on the windows. The strong flavor of the New Year was everywhere.

Soon, the carriage arrived at a bustling market. Chen Jia and Chen Jue got off the carriage and were immediately attracted by the scene before them. The streets were crowded with people, wearing new clothes and with happy smiles on their faces. There were all kinds of stalls, selling snacks, toys, and various handicrafts.

Chen Jia excitedly pulled Chen Jue's hand and said, "Husband, look at this market, it's so lively! Let's go around and walk around."

They first came to a stall selling firecrackers. The stall was filled with all kinds of firecrackers, including long strings of firecrackers, small firecrackers, and colorful fireworks.

Chen Jue picked up a string of firecrackers and said to Chen Jia with a smile, "Madam, how about we buy some more firecrackers to add to the festive atmosphere?"

Chen Jia nodded and smiled: "Okay, but don't buy too much, just a little bit for your own good."

The stall owner said enthusiastically: "My two guests, my firecrackers are all of the best quality, with loud sounds, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

After Chen Jue paid, the stall owner helped wrap the firecrackers and handed them to Chen Jue. Chen Jia saw someone selling firecrackers nearby, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Husband, I loved playing with these firecrackers when I was a kid, let's buy some too."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia's childlike expression and said with a smile: "Okay, buy it!" So he bought a few more boxes of firecrackers.

After leaving the firecracker stand, they continued walking forward and came to a game stand. Various game props were displayed on the stand, and the most attractive one was the pot-tossing game.

Chen Jia said curiously, "Husband, let's play this pitching pot game. We haven't played it for a long time."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement, paid the stall owner, picked up an arrow, got into position, aimed at the mouth of the pot, and threw the arrow lightly. The arrow fell steadily into the pot.

Chen Jia clapped her hands and cheered: "Husband, you are awesome! It's my turn now."

Chen Jia picked up the arrow and threw it nervously, but unfortunately the arrow hit the mouth of the pot and flew out. She said in annoyance, "Oh, I missed it."

Chen Jue smiled and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, my lady, try again."

With Chen Jue's encouragement, Chen Jia threw a few more times, and finally one arrow went into the pot. She laughed happily: "Husband, look, I hit it!"

Chen Jue smiled and touched her head: "My wife is really amazing!"

After playing the pot-throwing game, they heard a burst of laughter not far away. When they got closer, they found a ring-tossing game booth. The booth was filled with various prizes, including cute dolls, exquisite porcelain, and some small ornaments.

Chen Jia looked at those cute dolls and was moved: "Husband, I want that doll."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Okay, watch me."

Chen Jue paid the money and took the ring from the stall owner. He focused his eyes, aimed at the target, and threw the rings one by one. Unfortunately, the first few rings did not hit the target.

Chen Jia said anxiously, "Husband, come on!"

Chen Jue took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and threw out a few more circles. Finally, a circle was accurately placed on the rag doll.

Chen Jia jumped up excitedly: "Great, husband, you are awesome!"

Chen Jue picked up the doll and handed it to Chen Jia: "Madam, this is for you."

Chen Jia took the doll, hugged it happily, and said, "Thank you, husband. This doll is so cute."

After visiting the game stalls, Chen Jia smelled an alluring aroma. She followed the scent and saw a snack stall. There were all kinds of delicious snacks, including steaming Yuanxiao, sweet and delicious sugar figurines, and crispy fried meatballs.

Chen Jia took Chen Jue's hand and said, "Husband, I'm hungry. Let's eat something."

They came to the snack stand, Chen Jia ordered a bowl of Yuanxiao and a sugar man, and Chen Jue asked for a portion of fried meatballs.

Chen Jia took a bite of Yuanxiao and a satisfied expression appeared on her face: "Well, this Yuanxiao is really delicious, soft, glutinous and sweet. Husband, you should try it too." As she said that, she scooped a Yuanxiao with a spoon and handed it to Chen Jue.

Chen Jue took it with a smile and took a bite: "It's really good. The taste reminds me of the feeling of celebrating the New Year when I was a child."

After eating snacks, they continued shopping and unknowingly arrived at the temple fair. The temple fair was crowded and lively. There were dragon and lion dance performances, wonderful performances by jugglers, and various traditional folk displays.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue squeezed into the crowd to watch the dragon and lion dance performance. A huge golden dragon was dancing, tumbling up and down, looking lifelike. The lions beside it were not to be outdone, jumping and rolling from time to time, drawing cheers from the audience.

Chen Jia excitedly said to Chen Jue: "Husband, look at this dragon and lion dance, it's so wonderful!"

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Yes, this is how lively the Chinese New Year should be."

After watching the dragon and lion dance performances, they went to watch the performance of the jugglers. The jugglers performed wonderful programs such as balancing bowls on their heads and breathing fire. Chen Jia watched them intently and applauded from time to time for the wonderful performances of the artists.

After visiting the temple fair, the sun gradually set. Chen Jia and Chen Jue walked back hand in hand.

Chen Jia said with emotion: "Husband, I am so happy today. I haven't been so relaxed shopping and playing for a long time."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Yes, my lady. When we have time in the future, we should go out more often and feel the atmosphere of this world."

Chen Jia looked up at Chen Jue, her eyes full of happiness: "Okay, as long as my husband is with me, I will be happy to do anything."
