When Luo Shixi got up from bed the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. There was no one in the bed. It was obvious that He Yu had not asked him to get off the bed in the morning.
It was his first day meeting his aunt! He woke up late!
Luo Shixi wailed, and quickly dressed and washed up as fast as he could in the morning. During this time, he was sore and couldn't move easily, so he cursed at He Yu in his heart. By the time he got off, it had been barely fifteen minutes.
"Xiaoxi is coming down?" Yu Xiao turned around to look when he heard the noise.
Luo Shixi first glared at He Yu who was eating steamed dumplings at the table, then smiled sweetly at Xiao, "Good morning, Auntie."
Yu Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "It's getting late, how did you sleep last night?"
"It's okay." Luo Shixi met her all-seeing eyes and stammered to evade the question.
Yu Xiao smiled as if he understood, and asked Luo Shixi to eat some breakfast quickly. "I guessed that you wouldn't get up early, so I just went to buy breakfast. I didn't know what you like to eat, so I bought some Chinese and Western food."
Luo Shixi had already seen that the dining table was piled high with breakfast, including Chinese dishes such as xiaolongbao, jianbing, wonton and tofu pudding, and Western dishes such as waffles, pasta and croissants with peanut butter.
"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky." Luo Shixi sat down next to He Yu.
"Open your mouth." He Yu picked up a steamed bun and fed it to him.
Luo Shixi took the meat dumplings that He Yu had fed him. The dumplings were still warm, perfect for eating now, and they tasted delicious. With a sip of soup, Luo Shixi's eyes lit up, and he took two or three more for himself.
Yu Xiao was happy to see that he liked it, so he let him try other dishes.
Luo Shixi successfully ate too much again. It was half an hour before he accompanied He Yu to go shopping at the table. He even took a croissant from the table when he left.
The supermarket is crowded now, and everyone is busy buying New Year's goods for their homes. The two of them couldn't even find a parking space. They wandered around the parking lot for a long time and waited for someone to leave, then quickly drove in.
Luo Shixi pushed the shopping cart and called to He Yu, "Hurry up!"
"Just buy whatever you want to eat." He Yu pushed another shopping cart and followed Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi rushed into the shelves and bought three large bags of cheese sticks, five boxes of solid yogurt and two sticks of butter from the dairy product freezer at the door.
He Yu glanced at the cart he was pushing and felt that two were not enough.
“What do you buy butter for?”
Luo Shixi looked at him with a smile, "I want to eat the steak you fried. Can you make it tonight?"
"Okay, I'll make it for you." He Yu pinched his cheek.
Although they didn't use sacks like their neighbors, they bought a lot of things. They bought more than ten kilograms of braised pig's trotters, as well as bacon, sausages, roast chicken, roast duck, and other food. When they left, the staff helped them push a cart to move the things to the trunk. In the end, they couldn't fit everything in, so they found a van.
"I should have driven the truck." He Yu turned the key and glanced at Luo Shixi with a half-smile.
Luo Shixi smiled at him ingratiatingly, "You said to buy as much as you want, so I bought a little more." He used his finger to indicate a little bit the size of a fingernail.
He Yu patted the back of his head and said, "Let's go home and make you something delicious."
"Great!" Luo Shixi cheered and followed immediately.
On the way back, they saw a street vendor selling couplets and lanterns. The two of them picked and chose and bought a lot of things. When they got home, Yu Xiao was stunned.
"Have you emptied the supermarket?"
Luo Shixi scratched his face embarrassedly. Just as he was about to explain, He Yu spoke up, "The supermarket will only open on the seventh day of the New Year. These are just enough to eat."
Yu Xiao rolled his eyes. "Just feed the pigs. Aren't you afraid of tiring my Xiaoxi by carrying so many things? Xiaoxi, come and check your hands. Are they tired?"
Luo Shixi was dragged over by her and smiled awkwardly, "I'm not tired, he took them all."
Yu Xiao: "Just let him take it. He deserves it."
He Yu: “…” He seems like a big victim.
Several people were busy packing up all the things. Those that couldn't be put away were put in the light-proof storage room on the second floor. It took a whole day.
On New Year's Eve, Luo Shixi pulled He Yu out of bed early in the morning, "Hurry up, let's go put up Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns!"
He Yu put on a thick down jacket and slippers and was pulled to the door by Luo Shixi. Yu Xiao was already waiting there.
Yu Xiao: "Are you here? I've made the paste and am waiting for you two."
He Yu took his hand out of his pocket and took the paste from Yu Xiao's hand, "Okay, let's do it. You go chop the stuffing and then make the dumplings."
Luo Shixi was very excited to use paste to paste Spring Festival couplets for the first time. "I'll do the painting, and you can paste it, okay?"
He Yu tapped his forehead and said, "What's the good of that? Use a scraper to scrape off last year's ones first."
After he finished speaking, he took out a scraper from the small room in the east, squatted on the ground and carefully cleaned the remaining Spring Festival couplets. Luo Shixi watched from the side and couldn't help taking a photo and sharing it on Weibo.
[Luo Shixi v: Today is New Year's Eve. Have you posted Spring Festival couplets? We will also hang lanterns and make dumplings later~ [Picture]]
In the photo, He Yu was not wearing his usual high-end suit, as if he could walk on the runway right away. Instead, he was wearing a thick black down jacket, loose gray sweatpants, and a pair of white cotton slippers. Because he was pulled out of bed by Luo Shixi, his hair was unkempt and sticking up in a mess. The sun shone on his face, and he felt warm all over.
[My male idol is like this in private. Suddenly I feel like I can reach a higher level than him.]
[Is Xiaoxi spending the Spring Festival with He Yu? It looks like they are at He Yu’s hometown.]
[Isn’t this meeting the parents? The progress is touching! 】
[It’s the Chinese New Year and they’re spreading sugar, it’s so sweet!! ]
[Happy New Year's Eve! What are you going to do tonight, Xizi? Are you going to watch the Spring Festival Gala or grab red envelopes? ]
Luo Shixi picked a reply: [See what he wants to do~]
Netizens said they were so impressed and felt jealous.
[I know you listen to your husband, so just do whatever your family does~~~]
[Come and take a look at your little friend @贺余, he is so cute]
[Where can I get Xiaoxi, who is so talkative and cute? @贺余]
Luo Shixi was about to reply that he was busy and had no time to reply when He Yu caught him red-handed.
"Don't be lazy," He Yu grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pushed him to the door. "I've shaved it, you apply a layer of paste first, and then stick it on. Don't put too much."
Luo Shixi shrank back because of his cold fingers. After learning that he could make paste, he brushed a layer upwards. "Is this too much?"
He Yu took a look and said, "Okay. I'll put it on first. Please help me make sure it's not crooked."
"Okay!" Luo Shixi stood in the middle of the alley, watching He Yu paste the Spring Festival couplets on the door. "The left side is a little high. Pull it to the right. Right, right, right. This is about right."
He Yu pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the door with a snap, and carefully spread the edges to paste them. The only bad thing about this kind of Spring Festival couplets is that the red color fades badly, and after pasting them, He Yu's palms were all red.
He rubbed his index finger and thumb, and his hands seemed to be stained with rouge, which became more rosy with each stroke.
"Is the color fading so badly?" Luo Shixi leaned over to take a look and sighed.
"Yeah." He Yu narrowed his eyes, quickly pinched Luo Shixi's face, and rubbed it deliberately.
Two blobs of rouge instantly appeared on Luo Shixi's face. He angrily tried to wipe them with his hands, but the blobs got bigger and bigger. He kicked He Yu in anger.
He Yu saw two blushes on his cheeks, which made him look like the dolls in the New Year paintings on the wall, so naive and cute. So he laughed without hesitation.
Luo Shixi: "You're still laughing, hurry up and wipe it off for me!"
"It can't be wiped off, just go home and wash it."
"Then draw a few lines on your face, too, quickly!"
"I don't."
Luo Shixi grabbed He Yu's hand and wanted to draw a few lines on his own face, but He Yu refused to obey. Luo Shixi was not as strong as He Yu, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
"Hey, Xiao He is back for the New Year?" The neighbor's voice interrupted their play.
He Yu looked over and said, "Hello, uncle."
Luo Shixi wanted to look over as well, but suddenly remembered that there was still some red on his face that hadn't been wiped off. He just poked his head out halfway and then retracted it again. He just hid behind He Yu and followed him and called out, "Hello, uncle."
The neighbor uncle nodded with a smile, "Is this your brother? Why haven't I seen him before?"
He Yu glanced at Luo Shixi who was glaring at him from behind, touched his nose and replied, "My roommate."
"Oh, then you have a pretty good relationship, and you spent the New Year together," the uncle said while chatting with a smile, "You young people are out there making your own way, and it's comfortable to have someone close to you. There will be many things you can do to help each other in the future."
"Uncle is right." Luo Shixi poked his head out from behind He Yu and responded with a smile.
"Hey, what's wrong with this face?"
Hearing this, Luo Shixi covered his face in embarrassment and shrank back.
He Yu laughed softly, suppressing his voice.
"Where have you been, old man? Come quickly and help me move things! I'm almost dying of exhaustion, how come you have no energy at all?" The uncle's wife came over, saw He Yu and Luo Shixi, greeted them with a smile, and dragged the uncle back to continue working.
He Yu pulled the person out from behind him, "Let's hang up the lanterns quickly and make dumplings with my mom. Who knows what she'll do."
Luo Shixi asked in a low voice: "Auntie can't cook?"
"It's not that she can't do it, it could be that..." He Yu searched in his mind and gave Luo Shixi an example, "For example, she never knew to peel the loofah when she stir-fried it."
Luo Shixi: I understand.
He Yu's mother Yu Xiao is a romanticist. Even her work is full of artistic atmosphere. She runs a gallery. She is a rich girl, she has never touched women's lives, and she doesn't understand the sufferings of the world. She is a little bit in love and believes that there are perfect relationships in the world. Even if she was bruised and battered last time, she will jump into love without hesitation when she meets the one she loves.
He Yu was not qualified to judge Yu Xiao's lifestyle, but he was very grateful to Yu Xiao.
Because Yu Xiao had a clear understanding of himself, he handed He Yu to his grandmother instead of raising him himself. Otherwise, Luo Shixi might not be able to see the grown-up He Yu now.
When the two of them finished their work and went to find Yu Xiao, she was mixing dumpling stuffing while watching a video on Baidu. The stuffing was vegetarian, and He Yu tasted it and it was not bad. The three of them squeezed into the kitchen and worked together on the New Year's Eve dinner.
By the time the dishes were served, it was already dark.
Luo Shixi placed the sweet and sour carp in the middle, "May there be abundance every year."
He Yu stewed lamb chops and braised pork elbows. The chicken soup that had been cooked since last night was already fresh and thick today, and was used as the topping for the assorted lucky bags. In addition, there were also Guluxia, three fresh vegetables, boiled chicken, braised sausage rice, etc., filling up the table.
He Yu wiped the water off his fingertips and said, "It's almost done."
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Shixi hurried forward to help him massage his shoulders and back.
He Yu looked at him with amusement, then turned back and shouted to the kitchen, "Mom, stop steaming that eight-treasure rice. There's not enough room."
Yu Xiao had already come out with a small wooden tray. "My son made this with great difficulty, so of course I have to show it off."
Luo Shixi quickly took it and stacked it on top of the other plates.
"I want to take a picture to show off!" Yu Xiao quickly took out his cell phone.
"I want one too! I want to post on Weibo to show off!" Luo Shixi raised his hand and took out his cell phone.
The two people were busy at the table, giving close-ups of each dish.
He Yu stood behind them holding chopsticks, lowered his eyes and smiled, but said: "Ms. Yu, Mr. Luo, can we eat now?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Shixi pursed her lips and smiled, taking the bowl and chopsticks.
Yu Xiao went to turn on the TV so that they would not miss the Spring Festival Gala at 8pm.
"What's Xiaoxi drinking?"
He Yu answered quickly, "He drinks."
Luo Shixi glared at him and said, "I'll drink a beverage."
He Yu went to open a Coke for Luo Shixi with great regret.
Yu Xiao understood something, and his eyes moved between the two of them. He said to He Yu earnestly, "Xiao Xi is still young, son, don't go too far."
Luo Shixi's face turned red, and he stepped hard on He Yu under the table.
He Yu shrank his cotton slippers aggrievedly, "My mom said so, why did you step on me?"
Luo Shixi became even angrier, "Who told you to talk so much!"
Yu Xiao laughed out loud. The more she looked at Luo Shixi, the more she liked him.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala officially began. Familiar hosts appeared one after another, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Yu Xiao had originally agreed with them to stay up together to celebrate the New Year, but he couldn't stand it anymore because he was too old, so he decided to go to bed first. Before going to bed, he gave Luo Shixi a huge gift box.
"Open it and take a look. This is your New Year's gift from Auntie."
Luo Shixi took it with surprise, squinted his eyes and smiled at Xiao: "Thank you, Auntie!"
When he opened it, he found a complete set of clothes, from hats to coats, and the size was Luo Shixi's, not a mistake at all. Yu Xiao had a strong sense of fashion, and the clothes he chose were very comfortable to match, and Luo Shixi would definitely look good in them.
Yu Xiao: "New Year means wearing new clothes. As celebrities, you must have endless clothes to wear, but this is a little gift from your auntie, I hope you like it."
Luo Shixi picked up one and compared it to himself, "I like it! I will definitely wear it tomorrow."
He Yu crossed his arms and looked at Yu Xiao, "Where's mine?"
Yu Xiao covered his mouth and smiled: "You can't do without it. It's here. Let me show you."
She brought out another gift box. Unlike Luo Shixi's gift box, which was wrapped in turmeric and tied with a navy blue ribbon bow, He Yu's gift box was wrapped in navy blue and tied with a turmeric ribbon bow. The clothes inside were also bought according to the couple's style in Luo Shixi's gift box. After wearing them, no one would mistake their relationship.
He Yu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this meant Yu Xiao acknowledged their relationship.
"Thank you, Mom."
"You're still saying thank you to me. If you say thank you again, I'll kick you out of the house," Yu Xiao covered her mouth and yawned slightly. "Auntie is tired, so she's going to sleep first. You guys should also get some rest early."
Yu Xiao left, and only He Yu and Luo Shixi were left in the living room. Luo Shixi was looking at his new clothes excitedly. He Yu smiled at him, and the skits of the Spring Festival Gala were playing in his ears, and the actors were making everyone laugh on TV.
"A happy day is a day, an unhappy day is also a day. Why don't you spend an unhappy day happily, instead of spending a happy day unhappily?"
"As a human being, being happy is the most important thing."
Twelve o'clock sharp.
Firecrackers were set off outside, and the gongs and drums were beating. Looking out the window, I could see the beauty of the fireworks blooming. The children from the neighbor's house next door were playing with firecrackers, and each explosion made a loud noise. The street lights were always on, illuminating the hearts of every wanderer returning home.
At this moment, the lights of the city are on all night long. Lovers sit in front of the TV and stay up together to celebrate the New Year.
The moment the clock struck midnight, Luo Shixi turned around and made a heart shape with his hands to He Yu.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year," He Yu bent down and kissed him, "I hope that in the new year, my Luo Luo will be safe and happy, and everything will go well."
Luo Shixi smiled, raised his head and kissed him back.
A layer of fog formed on the glass window, condensing into water droplets that fell down, blurring the two people hugging and kissing each other.
They welcomed the new year.
