She knew that her elders were giving them the right to choose, and that they could buy whatever they liked.
But the burden they placed on her was too heavy, and she felt "pressure" for the first time.
She vehemently opposed it, but her opposition was in vain.
The two elderly people kept stuffing money into their hands, and this wasn't even New Year's Eve yet.
Although she wasn't unwilling, she had no choice but to drag Qi Sheng along.
The two began shopping seriously, and by the end of the day, they were almost exhausted.
The two approached the fireworks, and Gu Luoqi's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Fireworks are allowed at her grandmother's house, but whenever Gu Luoqi sees fireworks, she can't help but think of Qi Sheng's words on New Year's Day.
She felt even more awkward. "Maybe we shouldn't take this."
However, she remained calm, and Qi Sheng did not notice.
"But my cousin specifically instructed me to," he had to remind her.
"Fine," Gu Luoqi finally relented.
By the end, she felt so tired that she almost lost consciousness, but thankfully she managed to complete the task successfully.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Luoqi got up early, intending to go out and exercise.
Although it was the Spring Festival, she strictly followed the system's holiday plan, except for the time she missed due to other matters.
When she returned and saw Qi Sheng, she couldn't help but smile. "Happy New Year!"
Upon seeing her arrive, Qi Sheng led his younger cousin forward.
My little cousin woke up early, put on his new red clothes, and looked very chubby and festive, just like the lucky baby in the New Year's painting.
"Happy New Year, Sister Luo! You're up so early!"
"I didn't get up as early as you." Gu Luoqi pinched his little face.
This little guy usually sleeps until late morning, but today he was making a fuss about getting up early.
At this time, the whole family was at home. Gu Luoqi and Qi Sheng originally wanted to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, but there was no way for them to do anything.
For the elderly, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is very important, and they have a strong attachment to it.
Gu Luoqi was happy to have some free time, so she just stayed idle and occasionally teased her little cousin.
However, she focused more on sending New Year's greetings to her friends.
Young people's social circles are probably mainly concentrated on their mobile phones. She received many New Year's greetings early in the morning, although there is a high probability that half of them were mass messages.
She replied to each one.
Then she stopped at the chat box with Su Yan.
He asked her when she was going home.
She thought about it and replied that she would return after the New Year.
I'll definitely have to visit their home for the New Year when I get back, but I'll leave that for when I get there.
She and Su Yan had long lost their former intimacy; the last time they contacted each other on their phones was for New Year's greetings.
Knowing that she was deliberately distancing herself, Su Yan stopped bothering her.
That's fine too.
She, Li Mingya, and Xiao Chengzi even made a special video call.
Even though we can't gather together for the Spring Festival, we still need to maintain the proper sense of ritual.
After hanging up the phone, she subconsciously focused her gaze on Qi Sheng again.
He was playing with his younger cousin's toys at that moment, his expression gentle.
Before coming here, she hadn't expected Qi Sheng to be so patient with children. It was obvious that he had a knack for coaxing children.
After the family prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, they couldn't wait to put it on the table. The dishes were exceptionally plentiful, and my little cousin's eyes darted around, seemingly unsure which dish to focus on first.
Gu Luoqi took photos as usual; with such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, of course, the phone should be the first to enjoy it.
Then share the photos in the "We Are a Loving Family" group, as well as in the group with Cheng Cheng and the others.
Seeing Li Mingya and Cheng Cheng express their disgust, she smiled and felt that the food tasted much better.
To show her appreciation for everyone's skills, Gu Luoqi ate several large bowls without hesitation.
Compared to Gu Luoxi's initiative, Qi Sheng appeared much more passive.
The whole family lovingly served him food, and they were having a great time doing so. Among them was even Gu Luoxi's little cousin!
Gu Luoqi was exasperated and protested, choosing to directly question her younger cousin, "Why did you put food on his plate but not mine?"
"Because Sister Luo...you eat too fast, you don't need to..." The little cousin obediently ate his rice, explaining earnestly.
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
In his young mind, he not only didn't have to serve food to Sister Luo, but he also ate much faster.
He thought Sister Luo was eating too fast, and he wouldn't have any left...
Fortunately, Gu Luoxi was unaware of his ulterior motives, otherwise she would have been furious.
She looked indignant, and just as she was about to argue with her younger cousin and teach him a lesson, a chicken leg suddenly appeared in her bowl.
Gu Luoqi glanced at Qi Sheng and saw that the smile on his lips had not yet faded, and his eyes were filled with indulgence and doting.
She suddenly snapped out of her daze, then buried her head in her food, her head almost falling into the bowl.
...
After the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time to stay up all night. Gu Luoqi doesn't plan to go to bed so early tonight, since staying up all night is a long-standing tradition.
During this time, they received red envelopes from their elders one after another, and the two of them pushed and shoved each other for a long time.
Seeing that the two refused to accept it, the grandparents took out the most classic and very useful set, saying, "Take what Grandma gives you, otherwise Grandma will be unhappy."
"Do you look down on your grandfather now? You're even refusing his red envelopes..."
Once this was done, how could the two of them possibly have a chance to refuse?
Compared to them, my little cousin, carefree and laughing, ran past them with his red envelope.
While the adults were chatting, Gu Luoqi pulled Qi Sheng to play games. It has to be said that he was indeed very talented at games, and she was quickly attracted by his superb skills, temporarily forgetting her previous unusual emotions.
Later, her uncle suggested playing mahjong, and Gu Luoqi was the first to agree, as she hadn't played mahjong in a long time.
However, she looked at Qi Sheng with some doubt, "Do you know how to do this?"
Qi Sheng shook his head honestly as always, "No."
Just as I expected.
Gu Luoqi felt that he fit her stereotype of a well-behaved child in the eyes of parents, and was not particularly familiar with these popular entertainment activities.
However, she soon realized that this guy fit her stereotype of a top student: someone with exceptional learning abilities.
He just sat next to her, and she occasionally explained things to him. Unexpectedly, he picked it up very quickly and played quite well. Before long, he was playing with everyone.
Gu Luoxi stayed up until almost dawn before falling asleep, and when she woke up it was almost noon.
Perhaps out of consideration for human beings, the system did not disturb her and let her wake up naturally.
Nothing much was going on today, so as usual, she played with Qi Sheng and her little cousin's toys for a while.
Since it had been arranged beforehand, Mr. Gu came to pick them up on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
