On New Year's Eve, Su Chuanlin went to see Xiang Niannian. (If you forgot, check chapter 239.)
After hearing Su Chuanlin's heartfelt confession, she was kissed so passionately that she was dizzy with excitement.
She was curled up on the sofa, hugging a cushion and wrapped in a blanket, her wet eyes looking at the back of someone in the kitchen.
She didn't say a word. After kissing him, Su Chuanlin put her on the sofa and told her to wait.
This scene.
Watching the busy figures in the kitchen, Xiang Niannian's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
About an hour later, Su Chuanlin came out of the kitchen carrying food.
Then he went back and forth into the kitchen to bring out dishes, and Xiang Niannian's gaze followed him. It wasn't that she didn't want to get up and help, but that she forgot how to react for a moment.
Su Chuanlin stood in front of her, looking down at her nestled on the sofa, and spoke in a somewhat cautious and ingratiating tone: "Although it's past midnight, this can still be considered New Year's Eve dinner, right? I made it before midnight, let's eat together, okay?"
Su Chuanlin was still wearing an apron, his hands hanging at his sides. He wanted to pull Xiang Niannian, but he couldn't make up his mind.
"New Year's Eve dinner?"
Xiang Niannian looked up, her hands still tightly clenched inside the blanket, and asked blankly.
"right."
When Su Chuanlin heard Xiang Niannian speak, her tone devoid of any anger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without saying a word, he picked her up, blanket and all.
"Su Chuanlin, you're doing it again!" Xiang Niannian finally realized what was happening and struggled in his arms.
Su Chuanlin still held the person in his arms, then placed them on the seat. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a soft sob.
"Su Chuanlin, you've gone too far! I didn't agree to anything you asked, and you've been kissing and cuddling me like that... sob..."
The aggrieved voice completely baffled Su Chuanlin.
He even suspected he was a pervert, feeling sorry for her crying while simultaneously enjoying her calling him by his full name.
I always felt that the way she called out Su Chuanlin sounded so nice.
Su Chuanlin knelt on one knee, his gaze almost level with Xiang Niannian's as she sat. He pulled her hands together, holding them tightly to prevent her from resisting. His voice was deep as he said, "Niannian, I'm sorry, my feelings for you are genuine. I have no romantic experience. I only know that I don't want to miss you. It's okay if you don't like me, it's okay if you don't accept me now, but I just ask that you don't rush to reject me, and don't avoid me, okay? Give me a chance, okay?"
Even if you try to avoid me, I will not let you go.
However, Su Chuanlin would not say this aloud; he could only think it to himself.
Xiang Niannian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her moist eyes looked at Su Chuanlin. Su Chuanlin was not in a hurry for her to answer immediately, but looked at her seriously, full of determination.
Finally, under Su Chuanlin's tense and disappointed gaze, he nodded.
Su Chuanlin, who thought he wouldn't get a response from her, instantly beamed with joy when he saw Xiang Niannian nod. His lips curled up like a lovesick young man.
He stood up excitedly, cupped Xiang Niannian's head in his hands, and kissed her full forehead heavily: "Xiang Niannian, you'll be mine sooner or later!"
When Xiang Niannian saw Su Chuanlin kiss her again when she wasn't paying attention, she was about to speak when her eyes were drawn to the large table of dishes on the table.
Su Chuanlin noticed her action and immediately said, "I only found out you were still here at the last minute. I wanted to prepare more dishes, but I was afraid we wouldn't have enough time, so I just prepared a little bit. Can you come back with me for dinner tomorrow? Don't worry, it's not to my house, it's to Sheng Sheng's house."
Su Chuanlin knew all the nervousness and helplessness she felt when facing the enthusiasm of his family.
"Su Chuanlin, thank you."
Xiang Niannian looked away from the food and spoke to Su Chuanlin.
“This is the best New Year’s Eve dinner I’ve ever had, really,” Xiang Niannian emphasized again.
Seeing Xiang Niannian's somewhat sad expression, Su Chuanlin thought of her family and felt endless heartache. He couldn't understand why, in their family, women were the most important and honorable, and why some families would not only dislike them but also constantly suppress them.
The girl is clearly very cute and beautiful.
"Okay, I'm glad you like it. I can make it for you from now on. I'll make whatever you like to eat!"
Su Chuanlin was grateful that he had been busy in the kitchen since he was a child, and now he had excellent cooking skills.
Xiang Niannian didn't answer his question. Instead, she started talking about her own things. It was more like she was talking to herself than to Su Chuanlin.
“From childhood to adulthood, every year on New Year’s Eve, I’ve only ever been busy in the kitchen with my mom. By the time we finished, all the relatives had almost finished eating. I would just grab a few bites and then start cleaning up with my mom again. Sometimes I would clean up by myself. At first, I thought this was normal. If I cooked more, my mom wouldn’t have to work so hard. But gradually, I realized that I wasn’t as naive as I thought. Even if I don’t go back for the New Year this year, they will still say the same thing: If you don’t come back, who will cook and who will clean up the house?”
Heh, ridiculous, isn't it? But I don't find it ridiculous; I just feel a little sad... Oh well, let's eat together, a New Year's Eve dinner at midnight, hehe.
As Xiang Niannian spoke, she suddenly became relaxed and cheerful, forcefully forcing back the tears welling up in her eyes.
No one knew that the New Year's Eve dinner she ate this year was the best and the happiest, because she ate the food she wanted most, and it was warm.
Su Chuanlin always wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her, but he always held back. He wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her, telling her it was okay, that he would pamper her and cherish her from now on.
But he knew that Xiang Niannian didn't need any of that at the moment; what she needed most was companionship.
"Okay, let's eat together. You should try my sweet and sour fish. It's the first day of the new year, so we should eat fish!"
Su Chuanlin did not sit facing her, but instead chose to sit next to her. He picked up the piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and then put it into Xiang Niannian's bowl.
Xiang Niannian did not refuse.
Then, Su Chuanlin continued to feed Xiang Niannian with great enthusiasm, feeding her ribs, lobster, abalone, shredded beef, and so on. Xiang Niannian still did not refuse, which made Su Chuanlin extremely happy. He wished he could feed Xiang Niannian until she was a big fat person.
So much so that when he got home at three in the morning, he was still in a state of high excitement—no, it should be said that he had returned to the Nan family home.
He had originally planned to stay up with Xiang Niannian tonight, but Xiang Niannian refused, and Su Chuanlin didn't dare to push her too hard, so he obediently went home.
