Chapter 55 New Year's Greetings

"Is it really time for me to have a relationship?" Chi Jinjin was lying on the bed, talking on the phone with Tang Shi.

Tang Shi said, "You just realized it. I've always felt that you should talk. Who told you to hang yourself on Senior Nan's tree?"

"What? Don't talk nonsense. I've let go of Senior Nan's matter a long time ago." Chi Jinjin sat up from the bed and immediately refuted.

Tang Shi laughed and said, "Then can you guarantee to me that you have never been in a relationship all these years and have no relationship with Senior Nan at all?"

"I……"

Chi Jinjin was speechless.

Tang Shi was right. Even though she didn't talk about it, she did have a close relationship with Nan Xuqiu over the years.

When she was a freshman in college, she still couldn't forget Nan Xuqiu. Every time she walked on the road of Fuhua, she would always wonder, if Nan Xuqiu had not gone abroad, would he have set foot on another land?

Will he be seen running around this school?

Later, time gradually healed her longing, but having met such a stunning person at such a young age, how could she be easily moved by an ordinary person? Even if she wanted to, the heart is the part of the human body that is least likely to lie.

Do you want to really talk about it?

Chi Jinjin fell back and lay back on the bed.

A few days later, Chi Jinjin and Chi Changgui were returning home from visiting their aunt. On the way, they saw a lot of people surrounding something. When they got closer, they found out it was a car.

A car is not particularly unusual, but it happened to be a Lamborghini.

It's already good enough for her to have a sedan, so how come there is another luxury car?

This is indeed surprising.

I don’t know whose rich relative came to pay New Year’s greetings.

But looking at the car, it was in a pretty bad state, covered in mud and water, and there were many scratches under the car, and some places were even dented.

I heard that it would cost more than 200,000 yuan to repaint this car. She felt sorry for the price she had to pay to drive it back. The car owner was generous and didn't care.

Chi Jinjin took a few glances and continued to go home with Chi Changgui.

It snowed all night last night, and the whole village was covered with white snow, with footprints all over the ground.

Chi Jinjin pushed open the door of her yard and walked in.

"Mom, we're back."

Chi Jinjin walked to the door of the room, lowered her head and stomped her feet a few times to shake off the snow on her shoes, then changed into slippers while speaking.

Zhang Xianmei came over and said, "Jinjin, your friend is here."

"Friend?" Chi Jinjin thought it was that friend. Could it be Tang Shi? But why didn't she tell her?

She walked in and looked at the sofa, and was shocked.

The person who came was actually Nan Xuqiu!

"Hello, Chi Jinjin." Nan Xuqiu said to her with curved eyes and a smile on his face.

Chi Jinjin couldn't believe it. How did he appear in her house?

She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and asked, "Senior? Why are you here?"

"I wanted to find you, so I came here." Nan Xuqiu answered truthfully.

Chi Jinjin was puzzled, "How did you know my home is here?"

"As long as I want to know something, I can know it." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.

Chi Jinjin thought, it seems so, money makes the world go round, not to mention he has power, so it's not surprising that the investigation goes to his family.

"So, which car on the side of the road is yours?" Chi Jinjin thought.

Nan Xuqiu nodded.

"Then, where did you leave your car?" Chi Jinjin asked. You know, the place where he parked his car was more than a thousand meters away from his home.

Nan Xuqiu said helplessly with amusement, "The car breaks down wherever it goes."

That's right, his car is like a child from a rich family, spoiled and cannot withstand the rocky road where Chi Jinjin and his friends live, which is not even paved with cement.

Chi Jinjin lowered her head and saw that Nan Xuqiu was still wearing her pink slippers.

She knew without even thinking about it that it must have been given to him by his mother.

Oh my God, why did mom give me a pair of pink slippers?

Chi Jinjin complained in her heart, smiled at him again, and seeing him standing, she hurriedly said, "Senior, please sit down."

"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu sat down and looked up at her again and asked, "I was too bored over there alone, so I thought of coming to your place to play and visit you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"Of course not, welcome." Chi Jinjin said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Xianmei took the spatula and said, "Jinjin, go and have a good chat with your friends. Mom will make you something delicious."

"Okay." Chi Jinjin replied.

Nan Xuqiu turned around and gave her a bright smile, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."

Chi Jinjin clearly saw that her mother was stunned for a moment.

She admitted that few people could resist Nan Xuqiu's smile. It used to be gentle and energetic, but now it was gentle and calm.

After Zhang Xianmei left, Nan Xuqiu looked at Chi Jinjin and said with a smile, "Sit down."

"Thank you." Chi Jinjin nodded and sat down, thinking to herself, why did I say thank you just now? This seems like my own home...

But seeing Nan Xuqiu so comfortable, it really feels like home to him.

"Senior, have some fruit." Chi Jinjin placed the fruit plate on the table in front of him, handed him the remote control, and said, "If you want to watch something, just press this."

"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu looked at her, smiled, and asked, "Have you been doing well these days?"

"Okay." Chi Jinjin replied.

"What are you busy with?"

"Visiting relatives and wishing New Year's greetings."

The two chatted about some trivial things, and Nan Xuqiu's eyes were always on her. Those ordinary things seemed to become very interesting when they came out of Chi Jinjin's mouth.

"Xianmei."

At this time, Chi Jinjin's second aunt walked in.

When she saw Nan Xuqiu, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled at Chi Jinjin with a gossipy look, "Hey, who is this, Jinjin? Is he your boyfriend?"

Chi Jinjin was shocked.

Before she could say anything, Nan Xuqiu stood up and spoke first, smiling and saying, "Hello, Auntie."

Second Aunt looked Nan Xuqiu up and down, her face overflowing with admiration as she praised him repeatedly, "You're such a handsome young man, like a big star on TV. No wonder a group of girls outside were saying just now that a very handsome man appeared in our village today and was asking for directions everywhere. They were also trying to guess where you were from. So it turns out you're from Jinjin's family."

Nan Xuqiu lowered his head and smiled, neither agreeing nor refuting.

Chi Jinjin quickly explained, "No, no, Second Aunt, you misunderstood. He is my friend, not my boyfriend."

"Isn't he your boyfriend?" Second Aunt questioned.

Chi Jinjin nodded wildly.

Second Auntie became even more interested when she heard this. She pulled Nan Xuqiu to sit down and asked, "Young man, what's your name? How old are you this year? Are you working or studying? Where do you study like our Jinjin? What do your parents do? You look like you came from the city, right? Where do you live in the city? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Hearing this series of questions, Chi Jinjin could only smile awkwardly.

"No need, Second Aunt." Nan Xuqiu replied calmly, neither anxiously nor perfunctorily, "Although I don't have a girlfriend yet, I already have someone I like in my heart."

Nan Xuqiu looked at Chi Jinjin and said earnestly, "I like it very much."

"Is that so? Then I wish you to marry your beautiful lady soon." Upon hearing this, Second Aunt was a little disappointed, but she also gave her blessing.

"Beauty?" Nan Xuqiu looked at Chi Jinjin and said with a smile, "She is indeed a beauty."

Senior, do you really have a new crush on someone, or are you just trying to fool Second Aunt?

Chi Jinjin was confused, but after thinking about it, the former and the latter had nothing to do with her.

"Jinjin, where is your mother?" Second Aunt asked again.

Chi Jinjin replied, "In the kitchen."

"Then you guys play, I have something to do with your mother." Second Aunt got up and left the living room.

Only Nan Xuqiu and Chi Jinjin were left. Chi Jinjin scratched his head and said, "Excuse me, this is my second aunt. She runs a matchmaking agency in the city. She has a professional disease. Please don't mind it, senior."

"I don't mind." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.

After a while, the meal was ready and the sky outside gradually darkened.

Chi Jinjin went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Nan Xuqiu also came forward to help.

"No need, senior. I'll serve it. It's not right to let the guests serve the dishes." Chi Jinjin declined politely.

Nan Xuqiu still took the plate from her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, you'll get used to it anyway..."

Habit?

Chi Jinjin didn't understand.

Nan Xuqiu didn't explain and carried the dishes into the house.

After the dishes were served, everyone sat down.

Zhang Xianmei said, "Xiao Nan, I don't know what you like to eat, so I made a few dishes randomly. Please don't be disgusted."

"These dishes look delicious." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, and asked, "Can I eat them now?"

"Sure, sure. Of course." Zhang Xianmei said, "Come on, let's eat."

"Thank you, uncle and aunt." Nan Xuqiu smiled happily.

Zhang Xianmei asked Chi Jinjin to serve him a bowl of rice, and they all started eating.

"Xiaonan, are you a classmate of our Jinjin?" Chi Changgui asked.

Nan Xuqiu replied, "No, I'm a year older than Jinjin, but we were classmates in high school."

"You also have a high A? Then your grades must be very good too." Zhang Xianmei said.

Nan Xuqiu said, "It's really good. I've always been number one in the grade."

"So where are you attending college now?" Chi Changgui asked after taking a sip of wine.

Nan Xuqiu replied, "I'm in the school next to Jinjin."

"Isn't that a police academy?" Chi Changgui said.

Zhang Xianmei asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"

"The son of Lao Liu from the next village is studying in that school. I heard it's very difficult to get in. Not bad, Xiaonan. You have a bright future."

Nan Xuqiu smiled.

Zhang Xianmei asked with some suspicion, "You are so fair and innocent, and you are training to be a police officer. Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. And, Auntie, don't look at my appearance, but I have learned grappling and Taekwondo for more than ten years, and I can endure hardships." Nan Xuqiu said.

Zhang Xianmei nodded, eyes full of admiration and said, "What an outstanding child."

Chi Jinjin, who was eating at the side, always felt that Nan Xuqiu was a little different today.

In the past, he was not a person who liked to show off his strength, on the contrary, he liked to hide it.

Why do I feel a little high-profile today?

It's like an interview...

"Jinjin." Nan Xuqiu suddenly called her.

Chi Jinjin quickly turned her head to look at him, only to hear him say, "Can you give me some more rice? I've finished my meal..."

Seeing his empty bowl, Chi Jinjin immediately took it and ran to fill it for him.

Nan Xuqiu said to Zhang Xianmei and the others a little embarrassedly, "Did I eat too much?"

"How is that possible? Auntie, there's nothing else here. Just eat as much as you can!" Zhang Xianmei said firmly.

Nan Xuqiu nodded, his face filled with undisguised happiness.

At this time, Zhang Xianmei remembered that she had stewed chestnut chicken, but forgot about it.

So he quickly brought it over and poured a bowl for each of Chi Jinjin and the others.

Nan Xuqiu looked around carefully while eating. Compared with where he lived, their house was really small and unelegant, and almost every place was patched up.

However, there is no warmth in his home.

After arriving at her home, Nan Xuqiu realized that his residence was really just a residence to him.

This is what a home is.

In the 30,000 days and nights of life, between a piece of meat and a vegetable, between a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, warmth flows in silence.

As Nan Xuqiu ate, he gradually fell silent.

Chi Jinjin noticed and asked, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xianmei and Chi Changgui also noticed that Nan Xuqiu suddenly became depressed.

Nan Xuqiu sighed, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that it seems like I haven't sat around and eaten with my family like this in many years. It's also been a long time since I had my mother's meal."

"It's because I'm too busy." Zhang Xianmei said.

Nan Xuqiu shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "No, it's because I made an unforgivable mistake. They hate me, and my mother hates me even more..."

Zhang Xianmei and Chi Jinjin were both very surprised. Nan Xuqiu was obviously the kind of "other people's child" who was the one everyone wanted when they saw him on the street. How could they still dislike and hate him?

"No," Zhang Xianmei said to him, "There's no such thing as overnight hatred between mother and son in this world. I guess your mother is a tough person, but she definitely still loves you in her heart."

"Okay, it's New Year's Day, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Do you want to drink? How about having a drink with uncle?" Chi Changgui asked Nan Xuqiu while holding up the wine bowl.

Nan Xuqiu nodded, and the two of them started drinking.

The speed at which men become familiar with each other after drinking is equivalent to the speed at which women chat about clothes and shoes. In just a short while, Nan Xuqiu and Chi Changgui became as close as brothers.

After the meal, the two made an appointment to go somewhere else for a drink.

Chi Jinjin accompanied Zhang Xianmei in cleaning up the dishes.

"Mom, why did you give my shoes to my senior?" Chi Jinjin walked up to her and whispered.

While washing dishes, Zhang Xianmei said, "I've washed the other slippers, but they're still not dry. Your pair of shoes are too big, right? They've worn so many times that they're gone. I'll give them to Xiaonan."

"But it's not nice to give a boy a pair of pink slippers..."

"It's okay, Xiaonan doesn't mind at all." Zhang Xianmei praised him endlessly, "Xiaonan is really nice, good-looking, easygoing and polite. You know how far he came to see you, and he was carrying bags of gifts. Those in the corner were all bought by him."

Chi Jinjin ran to the living room and glanced at the corner. Sure enough, they were piled up like a mountain, about seven or eight pieces.
