I don't know when it started snowing outside. The snow fluttered in the air and soon covered the entire ground. Looking up, I saw a sea of white.
This is the purest color in the world. All the filth is covered up at this moment, leaving only the purest existence in the world.
They looked at the snow scene outside the window and added dishes into the pot one by one. Seeing the simple ingredients soaked in the bright red soup, they immediately became different, which whetted their appetite.
There were a few dishes that were almost cooked and ready to eat. Yancuo picked some for them and took a bite himself. It was a little spicy, but very comfortable. On such a cold winter day, a hot pot was the perfect choice.
The four of them were enjoying the delicious food and chatting from time to time. Yu Muyang and Gu Xuran's companies had some dealings with each other, so they had a lot of common topics. In addition, they had been classmates since high school, and now they had an additional layer of work partner relationship, which made them have a tacit understanding.
Su He and Yan Cuo watched them talking calmly about things they didn't quite understand, and getting a little excited when they got to the interesting parts. They felt a little jealous and looked at them bored.
They were so immersed in their own conversation that they didn't notice the changes in the girls. It wasn't until they noticed the change in the gazes of the people in front of them that they realized, "Why aren't you eating? What are you looking at us for?"
Su He propped up his chin, opened his eyes wide, and looked thoughtful. "Seeing you two chatting about everything, I feel like your relationship is quite special."
Gu Xuran couldn't help but laugh. "We only talked a little more when we found something interesting. Besides, we often see each other, so naturally we have more topics to talk about."
Su He looked at them with an expression that said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's good that you have a good relationship. Yan Cuo and I have always hoped that our boyfriends could be friends in the future. Now this wish has come true."
"Silly girl, your wish is so simple." Gu Xuran said this and put some more food into her bowl, "Eat more, it's better to eat until you are fat."
Su He didn't believe him. "If I get fat, you will definitely not want me anymore and go find another girl."
Gu Xuran said seriously, "Susu, I love you no matter what you look like. If you like to eat, eat more. Anyway, I love the way you look like a greedy cat."
Su He seemed to believe what he said, but when he glanced in Yan Cuo's direction, he felt a little annoyed.
"I can't go on like this. Look at my face, it's all fleshy. If I keep eating, I'll be over 100 pounds. Look at Yan Cuo, she has skinny arms and legs, much thinner than me. Every time I look at her, I feel deeply hurt. But I can't control my mouth. What should I do?"
Yancuo pinched the flesh on her face and said, "It's okay. Chubbiness is cute. You are much cuter than me. I want to be like you."
Yan Cuo became happy after hearing this, and then kept putting food into her bowl, "Then eat more, and soon you will be as cute as me."
Yan Cuo looked at the food piled up like a small mountain in the bowl, then looked at Su He's expectant eyes and finished eating silently.
More than an hour later, the hot pot meal came to an end. The girls were responsible for cleaning up the garbage on the table, and the two boys took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.
The two boys were washing the dirty dishes slowly and methodically, which was pleasing to the eye.
Yu Muyang glanced at him and said softly, "How is your mother? Is she feeling better?"
Gu Xuran seemed to be surprised by his question. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "It's okay. I feel better now after taking the medicine, and I'm not easily excited anymore. She agreed to my coming here today."
"Depression isn't an incurable disease. It's mainly a matter of the heart. Doesn't your mother still have trouble letting go of your father?"
Gu Xuran nodded, his voice somewhat cryptic. "My mother was too infatuated, and that man was too cruel. Their union was a mistake from the beginning, and my birth only exacerbated this mistake. My mother underestimated his cruelty, and he also underestimated my mother's love for him."
My mother couldn't understand why he could just say he didn't love her anymore. How could they, after so many years of relationship, become like strangers? But she never considered that maybe the man never loved her from the beginning. He loved the power of my mother's family and hated her weakness and vulnerability.
But when did my mother become like this? She simply lowered her status in front of him because she loved him, and only wanted to be good to him. But to him, this kindness was a burden, and this feeling was unnecessary.
He stopped what he was doing and looked at Yu Muyang. "Do you know how I got through this when my parents were always arguing about getting a divorce?"
Yu Muyang shook his head and patted his shoulder. "It's all in the past. In the future, you will have your own family, a lovely wife, and naughty children. You will know what the warmth of home is. The emotional conflicts of your parents' generation should not affect you. Su He is a good girl. She resolutely chose to follow you. You can't let her down."
Gu Xuran glanced at the girl playing in the distance, his eyes firm, "Of course, I've decided on her in this life, how could I give up so easily.
I'm like my mother, once I've chosen someone, I'll be with them for life, but my mother made the wrong bet, and I won't be wrong."
Yu Muyang nodded and gave a comforting smile, "Yes, we won't be wrong, our girl will definitely be the best."
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Gu Xuran also felt a little uncomfortable. He tried hard to think of something to lighten the mood. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he pushed him with his shoulder and said, "You are really good, kid. You didn't go abroad to accompany your parents, but deliberately came back to celebrate the New Year alone, looking pitiful. Is it just to show your presence in front of Yan Cuo?"
Yu Muyang said calmly, "Yes, what's the point of celebrating the New Year abroad? If you want to celebrate it, you should do it in China, in a place you are familiar with, with the people you care about. That's the real New Year."
The so-called reunion is nothing more than the person you want, which brings joy. Apart from this, no one else can stir up waves in your heart.
"Have you visited Yancuo's family yet?"
"I went there, and I could tell they all liked me."
Gu Xuran was a little skeptical, "Don't be too confident, maybe you're just pretending."
Yu Muyang spread his hands disapprovingly, "So what? There's still a long future ahead of me. I have plenty of time to gain their favor. I'm not bad either, I can always impress them.
After all, I want their most precious thing, so I must be cautious. I have plenty of time, so there's no rush."
