New Year's Wishes

Liu Muze went out to look for him. Just as he was leaving the house, he ran into Ye Jingan carrying a fruit plate upstairs: "Brother Liu, you're awake. It's just right. I cut some fruit for you."

"When did you wake up?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"About half an hour ago." Ye Jingan fed him a piece of cantaloupe. "Is it sweet?"

Liu Muzhe nodded: "You should drink less. You'll be drunk at noon and you won't wake up even if you shout."

"Okay, let's go shopping." Ye Jing'an suggested.

"Okay, wait a minute and let me eat some of the fruit you cut." Liu Muzhe said.

“Just take the box with you and eat it on the go.”

Ye Jingan deliberately chose a less crowded street to walk along. Occasionally, a few adults and children would set off fireworks on the roadside. Ye Jingan said, "I heard that there will be some great fireworks at Century Park at midnight this year. Should we take a walk over and take a look?"

"Okay." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"Are you cold?" Ye Jing'an asked.

"It's not cold."

"Give me your hand."

Liu Muzhe took his hand out of his pocket and handed it over. It was indeed quite warm. Ye Jing'an took his hand and continued walking forward.

A young couple walked over and saw them holding hands. They stared at them and smiled. Liu Muze didn't pull his hand away. Ye Jingan asked curiously, "Why are you so happy to let me hold your hand today? Aren't you usually shy?"

"It's the New Year." Liu Muzhe said.

"It's great to celebrate the New Year. It would be great if it were New Year's Day every day. Hahahahahaha. Then I could walk on the street holding Brother Liu's hand every day." Ye Jing'an said.

"It's okay not to celebrate the New Year." Liu Muzhe said.

"Huh? What's wrong with you today? This is not your style." Ye Jing'an tilted his head and looked at him.

Liu Muze smiled but said nothing. Ye Jingan leaned over and kissed him. Liu Muze looked around, making sure no one saw him, and then asked in surprise, "What are you doing? You're still on the street!"

"Hey, this is the right reaction!" Ye Jing'an nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Muze: "..."

"Every year since then, we've come out to watch the fireworks."

"good."

The two of them walked quietly on the street. It was already dark. Fireworks were shooting up into the sky one after another around them, and the sound of firecrackers exploded in their ears from time to time. Liu Muze felt warm in his heart. Before, during the New Year, he had fallen asleep directly after drinking, and he wished that time would pass quickly. Now, he hoped that time would slow down and he could walk slowly along the street with Ye Jingan.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu!" Ye Jing'an called out to him, "What are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't respond."

"Nothing." Liu Muzhe said with a faint smile.

"The park is just ahead, but the fireworks won't start for more than an hour. I brought some wine from home. Shall we find a chair to sit down and have a drink?" Ye Jing'an said.

"Don't drink, it will be difficult to go back if you get drunk." Liu Muzhe said.

"It's fruit wine made by my dad. It has low alcohol content, just like a drink. I drink a little, and the alcohol will wear off after watching the fireworks." Ye Jing'an said with a smile.

"Okay." The two of them found a chair by the river with a wide view and sat down. The view here was wide and perfect for watching the fireworks.

After drinking some wine and feeling a little warmer, Ye Jingan said, "Brother Liu, close your eyes."

"What are you doing with your eyes closed?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"Hey, don't ask, hurry up, don't peek!" Ye Jing'an put his hands behind his back.

"Okay." Liu Muzhe closed his eyes. After a while, he felt something warm on his neck. He opened his eyes and saw that it was a small scarf.

"Is it nice?" Ye Jing'an said with a smile, "This is a New Year's gift for Brother Liu."

"It looks good, I like it very much." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"Don't you notice anything different about this scarf?" Ye Jing'an asked.

"What's the difference?" Liu Muzhe took the scarf off and looked at it carefully. It was knitted with wool, but each stitch was large and small, not very neat. "You didn't knit it yourself, did you?"

"You guessed it right! Did I knit well?" Ye Jing'an asked.

Liu Muzhe was a little surprised, and after a long pause he said, "That's great. Can you knit a scarf?"

"Learn it." Ye Jingan said.

"Aren't we always together? I haven't seen you knitting a scarf." Liu Muzhe said.

"I knitted it secretly when you weren't paying attention, otherwise how could it be a surprise, hahahaha." Ye Jing'an laughed.

Liu Muze held the scarf in his hand, not knowing what to say. Ye Jing'an helped him put it back on: "You never take good care of yourself. I've recorded the number of times you hurt yourself this year, a total of twenty-three times. You can't do this next year."

"No." Liu Muzhe asked, "What New Year's gift do you want?"

"I like whatever Brother Liu gives me." Ye Jing'an said.

In fact, Liu Muze had been thinking about giving Ye Jing'an a gift for a long time, but his most valuable thing was already hanging around Ye Jing'an's neck, so he really didn't know what to give him. Liu Muze said, "I don't know what to give. Tell me one thing. What do you want?"

"Hehe, do you even need to ask? You know what I want." Ye Jing'an narrowed his eyes and stared at him with a strange smile.

"Who would take something like this as a gift?" Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu, what are you thinking? That's not what I'm talking about." Ye Jing'an was still a little embarrassed to speak, "Well... I happened to see a piece of clothing on my phone, and I thought it would look good on you, so I bought it secretly. I want you to wear it for me to see."

"Is that it? Why don't you just give it to me directly? Why are you hiding it secretly?" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"Uh, maybe it's not the kind of clothes you think." Ye Jingan stammered, "It's more... well, anyway, I want to see you wear it. I want this as a New Year's gift. Do you want to wear it?"

"Do you want to wear it out?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"How is that possible? You can only wear it for me to see!" Ye Jingan said.

Liu Muze thought it was just a piece of clothing. He didn't need to wear it out anyway, so he didn't care what it looked like. As long as Ye Jing'an saw it, it didn't matter. Besides, Ye Jing'an had already bought the clothes, so it would be convenient to just wear them directly. He didn't need to choose a gift. Liu Muze nodded in agreement.

"You agreed? You must keep your word and can't go back on your word!" Ye Jing'an said.

"Well, I won't regret it." Liu Muzhe said.

"Yeah! Brother Liu is so nice. I was afraid you wouldn't agree. Hahahahahahahaha. I can finally see you wearing it." Ye Jingan couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to go back right now.

"What does it look like? Let me see." Liu Muzhe vaguely felt that it was not a formal dress.

"You'll know after you go back after watching the fireworks." Ye Jing'an said.

"Okay." Liu Muzhe closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair to rest. The air was filled with a very faint smell of fireworks. The smell was not pleasant, but Liu Muzhe felt from the bottom of his heart that this smell made him feel at ease and happy.

"Ten, nine, eight..." Ye Jing'an watched the time count down. When it reached zero, there were several explosions in the open space on the other side of the river. Countless brilliant fireworks shot up into the sky one after another, all striving to reach the highest point and embrace the entire night sky.

"Brother Liu, Happy New Year! In the new year, I hope we can be safe and together forever!" Ye Jing'an said with a smile.

"Happy New Year!" Liu Muze held Ye Jing'an's hand, "I will."

The fireworks were fleeting, and the time for a few words was almost over. Thick smoke swept over from the other side, choking Liu Muzhe and making him cough a few times.

"It's over, let's go home."

"Well, go home."

It was almost two o'clock when they got home after a long journey. Ye Jing'an became more and more excited as they got home, and he sang in the car for the second half of the drive. Liu Muze was quite tired at first. He usually hated socializing with people. The atmosphere of the New Year at the Ye family was indeed good, but it was really tiring to always be careful not to reveal his identity. However, now that Ye Jing'an had inspired him, he was no longer sleepy. Liu Muze said with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. Brother Liu agreed to my New Year's wish. Hahaha!" Ye Jing'an said.

"It's just a piece of clothing. Is there any need to be so happy?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"Yes, I really want to see you wearing it." Ye Jingan pushed him into the bathroom, "Go take a shower first, I'll get you some clothes."

"Okay." Liu Muzhe had just adjusted the water temperature when he heard Ye Jing'an say that the clothes were left at the door for him and he would go to the first floor to wash them.

Liu Muze was a little surprised. Usually Ye Jing'an would always insist on showering together, but today was a bit of a contrast. Liu Muze guessed that he might be thinking that washing separately would be faster and would make him look better in that outfit. Liu Muze became more and more curious about what kind of clothes could make Ye Jing'an behave so differently. He wanted to take the clothes in to take a look, but his hands were wet and it would not be good to get the clothes wet. He decided to wash and dry them first.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Liu Muze quickened his shower, dried himself, and immediately brought his clothes in. The clothes were neatly folded in a bag. When he lifted it up, he found a black and white suspender skirt, which was quite short. There were also a bunch of messy things in the bag, and he had no idea what they were for.

Liu Muze held the skirt and fell into deep thought. No wonder Ye Jingan refused to say anything. It turned out that it really wasn't a formal dress... How could he, a grown man, be asked to wear a skirt?!

Liu Muzhe hesitated for a long time, but finally wore it reluctantly. After all, it was the only time during the New Year, and since he had promised Ye Jingan this wish, he had to fulfill it. It was understandable that a child had some strange hobbies, after all, he was just wearing it for him to see.

After putting on the clothes, Liu Muzhe touched his body and his face turned red. He didn't know whether Ye Jingan didn't know that the size was too small or the design of the clothes was just like that. The skirt just covered a key part, and if he moved a little more, he would be exposed.

Liu Muze sighed inwardly. Actually, it was nothing. He had already worn all the clothes... He continued to look at the unfinished clothes in the bag and took out two black things from it. They were slender and about the same length as his arms. Liu Muze didn't understand what they were for, but they fit his hands well. After putting on the two black things, Liu Muze looked at his hands and fell silent again. Why didn't these gloves leave a gap to show his fingers?

Liu Muze thought about it for a while and decided it made sense. He'd seen a child wearing a pair of full-cover gloves. He continued to pull something out of the bag. It was a cat-shaped headband. He knew what it was for, it was worn on the head. Liu Muze put it on his head, looked in the mirror, and immediately turned away.

It's too shameful to watch!

ugly!
