As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
After scratching the floor briefly, Li Xi regained his composure.
"Happy New Year in advance. You guys are up really early."
The topic change was abrupt, but Luo Jingxuan and Jingchu didn't mind. Jingchu, as usual, beamed and called her "sister" with a carefree air. Luo Jingxuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes smiling, "Good morning, I'm used to getting up early. Once my biological clock strikes, I can't sleep even on holidays." He then explained why he was at home today.
Li Xi had actually guessed that, even though the government didn't grant statutory holidays, a kind and well-funded boss wouldn't mind giving his subordinates an extra day off so they could rest up at home on New Year's Eve. She also vaguely remembered Assistant Jiang messaging her last night, mentioning this and wishing her a happy new year in advance.
It's just that her mind was still wandering after waking up; she was a little too happy to see Luo Jingxuan after not seeing him for a few days; and she was brainwashed by Assistant Jiang's "Happy New Year" before going to bed, so when she woke up, she had no memory of what had happened before and only remembered "Happy New Year". All these reasons combined made Li Xi blurt out "Happy New Year" the first time she saw Luo Jingxuan.
It was baffling, but not incomprehensible. The most important thing was that neither Luo Jingxuan nor Jingchu cared about this little incident. Luo Jingxuan also saw the discomfort in Li Xi's expression and gave way.
Li Xi got the step and naturally went down, "Biological clock, it's really a scary thing. But if you let the vacation last longer and stay in bed more, your biological clock will leave you, and then you can sleep in." While speaking, Li Xi had already walked to the side of the two of them and sat down next to Jing Chu.
"Good luck." Luo Jingxuan, the workaholic, certainly didn't care whether his biological clock would affect his ability to sleep in. He just followed Li Xi's words and said, "We're going back to the old house for a reunion dinner tonight. My uncle will come over to have lunch with us later, and then we'll take Jingchu to the Jing family's old house. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, I know." Although Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan hadn't seen each other for several days, the arrangements for New Year's Eve had been made long ago, and Jingchu's whereabouts had naturally been discussed long ago.
"Then do you want to invite Su Yu to join you at noon?"
"I'll ask her if she's free. I wonder if the Lu family has any plans today."
"No hurry, go have breakfast first."
"Okay." Li Xi said and walked towards the restaurant, calling Aunt Lin for food as she walked.
After the holiday, Li Xi's sleep schedule became irregular. Specifically, she would go to bed at irregular times at night and stay in bed in the mornings, like a complete loser. Aunt Lin had gotten used to her schedule, so she made breakfast with easy-to-preserve ingredients, either keeping them warm in the pot or heating them up on the stove when Li Xi woke up.
Today, too, Aunt Lin made soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed dumplings. Luo Jingxuan and Jingchu, who had gotten up early, had already eaten. For Li Xi's meal, the dumplings were still warm in the pot, but she kept the heat on low and added water intermittently. The fried dough sticks were covered with plastic wrap and set aside. The soy milk was kept in the milk pot, and Aunt Lin turned it on the heat the moment she saw Li Xi coming downstairs.
While Li Xi sat on the sofa chatting awkwardly with Luo Jingxuan, the soy milk was already heating up. When she called for help, Aunt Lin started plating the dishes. By the time she reached the dining room, the soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns were already on the table.
The fried dough sticks weren't served hot, but cut into sections to suit Li Xi's taste. The soy milk was divided into two bowls: one for drinking straight with sugar, and one for soaking the dough sticks in. The dough sticks that suited Li Xi's taste were crispy and crunchy when hot, but became a bit hard when cooled or reheated. It wasn't inedible, but the texture wasn't as good.
So, if she can’t catch the hot fried dough sticks, Li Xi will choose to soak them in soy milk. The dough sticks soaked in soy milk are juicy and not greasy at all, which is very delicious. Li Xi can finish a whole plate in one go!
While eating, Li Xi was not idle either. She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Su Yu.
Red Pink Dandy【Drip drip drip】
Goubuli [Here I am, my baby, wink?(′???`)]
Hongfen Dandu [What are your plans for today? Have dinner with the Lu family?]
Goubuli [We definitely have to eat together tonight. Not just the Lu family, but all the relatives who are closer to the Lu family will come over to eat together. It's like a big meeting.]
Pink Lady [Noon? Evening?]
Goubuli [Evening. You know, the higher-ups don't give New Year's Eve off. How could these capitalists (I think I'm one of them) let their employees rest? If their employees don't rest, how can they be happy? Of course, they have to work with their employees! So, most people don't have lunch. Besides, New Year's Eve dinner is, of course, dinner at night. Haha.]
Hongfen Dandu [What? The Lu family doesn't have a holiday on New Year's Eve! We at the Luo family have a holiday today, and the nationally mandated seven days is not too much! (￣??)]
Goubuli [Hehe, where did you come from, Luo's? Are you from Luo's? Do you work at Luo's? ヾ(≧へ≦)〃]
[Hey, Mr. Luo and I are a legal couple. What's his is mine. He's the boss of Luo's, and I'm the boss lady of Luo's. Luo's is our Luo's.]
Goubuli【Although, you are shameless! 】
[This is true. When you marry your uncle, the Jing family will also be your Jing family, hehe.]
Goubuli [seems like it is too, hehehe (●ˇ?ˇ●) niece]
Hongfen Dandu [Bah! You haven't even glanced at my horoscope, who are you calling niece? (￢︿??￢☆)]
