Chapter 118: The authorities are confused

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more worried Luo Xiao becomes.

He had spent the New Year's Eve dinner at Cheng's house in previous years. If he spent it at Cheng's house again this year, what would he do with Yan Zhiyi who came to see him?

So Luo Xiao took the opportunity to go out while Yan Zhiyi was busy with work.

He asked Cheng Chen out alone. The two of them didn't go anywhere. They chose a newly opened milk tea shop nearby, each ordered a cup of hot milk tea, and sat in the corner.

"Xiao, it's rare that you ask me out alone. I thought you and my uncle were so happy that you didn't even think about me." Cheng Chen took a sip of milk tea, chewed the pearls in the milk tea a few times, and swallowed them into his throat before speaking.

At the same time, he raised his eyebrows at Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao: "Keep your voice down."

"Speak quietly, okay? But Xiao, does your uncle really want to stay here with you for the New Year?" Cheng Chen asked again.

"Yeah, really, that's why I've been very conflicted lately." Luo Xiao sighed.

"What's there to be concerned about? Why don't we let our uncle go back with us to have the New Year's Eve dinner?" Cheng Chen blurted out, leaving both him and Luo Xiao silent.

You look at me, I look at you, and neither of us knows how to start.

"I want my godparents to have a good New Year. What's more, he will be your real uncle from the in-laws' family in the future. If I take him over, what will happen when the in-laws meet in the future? It's better not to do it until your matter is settled." Luo Xiao finally made a decision.

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Hey! Xiao, how about this? You accompany your uncle to have an early New Year's Eve dinner at home first, and then go back to have a New Year's Eve dinner. Isn't that all? Why be so entangled?" After Cheng Chen grabbed a handful of hair, he suddenly spoke with an idea.

Luo Xiao finally reacted and remembered that he was the one involved in the case but the bystanders could see things more clearly.

He actually spent so much time worrying about such a small thing.

"I understand, Cheng Chen, it's a good thing I asked you to come out for milk tea, otherwise I would still be thinking about it. Let's do it, it's getting late, I'll go back first, you should go back soon too." Luo Xiao smiled happily, finally he didn't have to worry about it.

"You're just going to throw it away after using it... No, you have to accompany me for a while, I'll be bored alone." Cheng Chen protested.

"Then will you answer the call when I call you later?" Although Luo Xiao did not mention anyone by name, Cheng Chen immediately became obedient when he said this.

"Go back quickly, I don't want to talk to you." Cheng Chen waved his hand to signal Luo Xiao to leave quickly.

Luo Xiao smiled and glanced at the hot milk tea on the table which was only one-third drunk. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to take the milk tea away. Because when it came to what he put into his mouth, Yan Zhiyi was like a daddy boyfriend and controlled it very strictly. He didn't approve of him eating any food that would be bad for his health. So he decided not to take the milk tea away.

Not taking it away doesn't mean you can't have a few more sips, so Luo Xiao took a few big gulps of the milk tea, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and left.

Cheng Chen was left biting the straw and texting his phone to his girlfriend, complaining about Luo Xiao's behavior.

Yan Chen followed Luo Xiao not too far away. After they came out of the milk tea shop, Yan Qing drove over.

Luo Xiao and his friends got in the car, but they didn't drive back first. Instead, they went to a Shanyeju store first. The name of the store was Shanyeju. Just like their store name, the things sold in this store are, as the name suggests, all kinds of game or wild vegetables, except for protected animals and plants, and most of the things are dried wild vegetables such as various dried mushrooms or bamboo shoots.

Luo Xiao just wanted to buy some authentic dried bamboo shoots to make old duck soup.

Ming bamboo shoots have always been recognized by them as being good for the body and have an excellent taste. The only downside is that they grow in very high mountains and forests and have a lot of hair on the outer shell, making it very difficult to harvest them. It is not easy to get delicious bamboo shoots, which is why they are more famous. Now, this dried bamboo shoot has almost become a local specialty here.

Luo Xiao came out this time with the excuse of buying some dried bamboo shoots to take back, so he definitely went to buy some.

The car drove steadily towards its destination.
