Before we know it, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and time is quietly moving towards this node full of special significance.
Most people in their community have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.
The usually bustling neighborhood suddenly became extremely quiet, with only a few street lights standing silently in the cold night.
Liu Mubai and Lin Jingchuan also returned to their hometown.
When they first started dating, they bravely came out to their parents.
This was a decision that required great courage, but fortunately, their parents were relatively open-minded.
After hearing their confession, although he was briefly surprised, he quickly accepted their feelings.
This understanding and tolerance made Liu Mubai and Lin Jingchuan feel deeply happy and lucky.
This year during the Chinese New Year, Liu Mubai plans to bring Lin Jingchuan back to his place to spend this reunion holiday with his family. Next year, he will go to Lin Jingchuan's place to celebrate the Chinese New Year again.
As for Grandma Li, her sister invited her to celebrate the New Year there, so she is no longer in this community.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one around, and even there were not many people left in this community.
The once familiar doors and windows were closed, and no longer as brightly lit as before.
However, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao did not feel lonely or desolate.
On the contrary, they made good preparations with anticipation and longing for the New Year, trying their best to make the decorations more festive.
This is their first year in this small world, so they attach great importance to it.
They carefully selected various decorations, such as red lanterns and festive Spring Festival couplets, to decorate their home with a festive atmosphere.
They first cooked a large table of dishes, gave each other red envelopes, and then they sat around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
When the New Year’s bell rang, brilliant fireworks bloomed outside the window. The colorful light instantly illuminated the entire night sky, as beautiful as a dream.
At that moment, Gu Qingze leaned close to Chu Lingxiao's ear and whispered softly, "Lingxiao, Happy New Year, I love you forever."
His voice was gentle yet firm, like a vow.
"Me too." Chu Lingxiao smiled and kissed him, "I will always love you."
........................
In the morning, sunlight shines into the room through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a warm glow to the whole house.
Gu Qingze was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, and the slight clash of pots and pans echoed in the quiet space.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of slippers dragging behind him, and the sound came from far away and slowly approached.
Then, a warm body gently pressed against his back.
"Brother, what delicious food have you made?" This was Chu Lingxiao's voice, with a hint of laziness, as if he was still immersed in a dream and had not yet fully awakened.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze's body stiffened slightly, and a sense of unexpected surprise surged in his heart.
Ling Xiao rarely calls his brother "brother" in daily life.
Generally, Ling Xiao would only call him like that during those intimate moments in bed. He would also use loving nicknames like "honey" and "baby" only when the love was deep and the mood was high, Ling Xiao would call himself like that.
Moreover, Ling Xiao tends to cheat afterwards and refuses to admit that he ever said those sweet words.
In short, in daily life, especially when he was awake, Ling Xiao rarely called him that.
Gu Qingze thought to himself that it seemed that Ling Xiao was confused in his sleep.
However, he was inexplicably pleased, and had no intention of reminding or correcting Ling Xiao. Instead, he pretended to be nonchalant and gently replied, "Fried eggs and hot milk."
Chu Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and leaned against Gu Qingze's chest like a satisfied kitten, his face full of comfort and dependence. "Yeah, brother is the best."
His voice was soft and he seemed unable to open his eyes. It seemed that he was really sleepy.
Gu Qingze looked at him lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness. He reached out and gently straightened Chu Lingxiao's messy hair: "Go wash up quickly, you can have breakfast later."
Chu Lingxiao reluctantly left Gu Qingze's arms and walked towards the bathroom, dragging his feet and taking one step at a time. He looked so cute.
After a while, Chu Lingxiao finished washing up and woke up completely.
When he recalled what he had just called her, his face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head a little embarrassedly, walked silently to the dining table, and started to eat breakfast.
Gu Qingze looked at his shy appearance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his heart was full of sweetness.
..................
A few days ago, the roses that Gu Qingze bought were quietly placed in a corner of the room.
Time passed quietly, and many flowers withered.
The petals that were once delicate and beautiful have now lost their moisture and become dry and fragile.
Chu Lingxiao accidentally saw these flowers that were beginning to wither, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart.
While carefully picking out the withered flowers, he called Gu Qingze over to take a look.
Most of the roses he picked out had withered, as if they had lost their vitality.
Their petals drooped and their colors became dull.
However, amidst this decay, there are still a few flowers blooming tenaciously.
The bright colors and plump petals are like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing people a glimmer of hope and warmth.
Chu Lingxiao looked at these flowers, and suddenly a mischievous thought came to his mind.
He suddenly acted like a "little gangster", with a wicked smile on his face, and said to Gu Qingze with a smile: "Come on, lower your head."
