Halfway through, Shi Che came over to have breakfast. An Lan glanced behind him and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Xiao Mo?"
Shi Che was stunned. "He slept here last night, didn't you know?"
An Lan looked puzzled, "When?"
"Xiao Ci asked him to come over last night." Shi Che said as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
As soon as he finished speaking, An Zhenxiong appeared at the door of the dining room and walked over slowly.
"Grandpa." Song Xi and Eric called out in unison.
An Zhenxiong nodded, and Shi Che stood up and moved to the side, "Uncle An, please sit down."
An Zhenxiong sat down, glanced at him, and said calmly, "You're not a child anymore. Don't just play around. You have to put dating on the agenda."
here we go again.
Shi Che habitually turned the words in one ear and out the other, nodding halfheartedly.
"He plans to let Xiao Mo take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life. Now he is not in a hurry to find a wife." An Lan added fuel to the fire.
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
Noticing An Zhenxiong's gaze, Shi Che's scalp tingled and he said with a wry smile, "Uncle An, don't listen to her nonsense. I will definitely work hard to find a partner. I will work hard."
The implication is: Please don't arrange a blind date for me.
An Zhenxiong picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, his expression relaxed. "Don't just talk."
Shi Che kept saying yes, yes, yes, and An Lan smiled with a gloating look on her face.
…
Room on the second floor.
As usual, Shen Mo woke up earlier than An Ci. When he came out after washing up, the person on the bed was still sleeping soundly.
He quickly drew open the curtains, and bright sunlight poured in through the window glass, making the whole room bright in an instant.
"Hmm."
An Ci frowned, reached out to pull the quilt over himself, turned over and continued to sleep.
Shen Mo walked to the bedside, lowered his eyes to look at the back of her head, raised the corner of his mouth, and lowered his voice, "Baby, it's ten o'clock."
An Ci closed his eyes and did not respond.
Shen Mo reached out and tugged at the corner of the quilt, not exerting much force. "Get up and collect the red envelope."
Hearing the word "red envelope," An Ci's thick eyelashes trembled. After a while, she muffled her words and said, "Are you going to give it to me?"
"Well, I'll give it to you." Shen Mo took out a red envelope from his pocket and came close to her, "Open your eyes."
When An Ci heard this, her eyes opened before her mind was clear. A festive red envelope was dangled before her eyes, with the four big words "Peace and Joy" printed on it.
Shen Mo squatted beside the bed and looked into her eyes. "Happy New Year, baby."
The boy had cold eyebrows and eyes, and seemed a little unapproachable when he was not smiling. But when he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, he looked even more childish. His dark and bright eyes looked straight at her, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
An Ci was stunned. She had never expected that he had actually prepared a red envelope for her. She blinked and asked, "When did you prepare it?"
"yesterday."
"Why did you prepare a red envelope for me?"
"Give it if you want." Shen Mo shook the red envelope in his hand and added, "I can't let you call me brother for nothing."
An Ci chuckled, "So there are benefits to calling me brother."
She sat up, her messy hair enough to build a chicken nest, and teased him, "Then I'll always call you brother from now on. Can you give me a red envelope every year?"
Shen Mo nodded seriously, "Okay."
As he said that, he stuffed the red envelope into her hand. An Ci looked down at her first red envelope of the New Year, and the corners of his lips curled up.
She looked up at him, "Shen Mo, Happy New Year."
"Call me brother." Shen Mo corrected her with a smile.
An Ci snorted and put the red envelope under his pillow, then got out of bed and put on his shoes, as if he was going to ignore the person after taking the money.
A moment later, the two went downstairs together and saw Mr. Song playing mahjong. An Zhenxiong, Song Xiunian and Shi Che were all his friends.
An Ci immediately perked up, rushed over and raised his hand, "I want to play too."
Several pairs of eyes turned to look at her, and Song Xiunian asked with amusement, "What do you want to play?"
An Ci's eyes lit up, "I want to play mahjong too."
How can she be absent from mahjong? This is one of the New Year games she looks forward to the most.
An Zhenxiong touched a card and glanced at her sideways, "Do you know how to play?"
"You can learn if you don't know." An Ci said, "What's so difficult about playing mahjong?"
Shi Che raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you're quite arrogant."
Playing mahjong is not difficult, but it depends on who you play with.
If you play mahjong with these two old men, you will definitely lose if you don’t have eight hundred tricks up your sleeve. You will lose everything in a minute.
"You're just a kid, why are you learning to play mahjong?" An Zhenxiong reached out and gently tapped her forehead, his tone doting. "I've never seen you so motivated in studying."
"Playing mahjong is also a form of artistic cultivation." An Ci worked hard to get a chance to play, and began to show off her eloquence. "Maybe I have a talent for this, and I can open a casino in the future to make money to support you in your old age."
An Zhenxiong, "Do you still want to open a casino?"
Mr. Song, "You're going to rely on playing mahjong to support us in our old age?"
One after another, they looked a little strange, as if they felt it was a bit ridiculous.
An Ci exclaimed, "Is it not possible?"
Shi Che laughed so hard that tears came out. "I think it's okay, Xiao Ci. It's a good thing to have dreams. I support you."
An Ci smiled and looked at him expectantly, "I'm going to open a casino in the future, Uncle Che, can you lend me some money?"
"certainly……"
Two stern gazes shot towards him, and Shi Che felt a chill run down his spine. The word "OK" lingered on his lips, and he smiled awkwardly, changing his tone to "Of course not. Children still need to study hard and make progress every day."
