Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Love is as immortal as gold. …
Fu Xize saw Xin Ai looking at him quietly, with a thoughtful expression, without any trace of the laughter and joy just now, so he asked with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Xin Ai shook her head and said, "It's okay."
He was just moved in his heart, and felt a little bit disgusted, but he was concerned about He Fei on the other end of the phone, so he didn't say anything, but quietly went to Fu Xize, hugged him from behind, and rubbed his head against his back.
Fu Xize was using a soup spoon to scoop the dumplings out of the water to see if they were cooked. Seeing Xin Ai clinging to him so much, he asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
Xin Ai replied: "Not bad."
Fu Xize said, "Soon."
Xin Ai finally let go of Fu Xize. He poked his head out from behind Fu Xize to see the steam rising from the pot, the hot water bubbling, and the dumplings floating up. Suddenly, he had a feeling of home.
This conversation did not deliberately avoid He Fei, and there was nothing to be shy about. The content was extremely harmonious and it was just daily chat.
But He Fei just had a feeling - it’s New Year’s Day, and I’m eating dog food across the airwaves.
The love atmosphere between the two is so good.
This is what He Fei thinks a couple should be like.
When Fu Xize saw that the dumplings were cooked, he turned off the fire and, under He Fei's guidance, took two large soup bowls, added a little salt, scooped out the chicken soup, and put the cooked dumplings, vegetables and mushrooms in.
Two bowls of clear soup dumplings with golden broth and bright side dishes are ready.
Fu Xize was very happy to see the finished product, as it was his first time cooking. He thanked He Fei, "Thanks, brother. The dumplings are cooked successfully and look great. I'll treat you to a meal when school starts."
He Fei said, "It's just a small matter. No need to be so polite. No need to treat me to a special meal. Just call me if you have anything in the future. I'm always here."
Then, he said goodbye sensibly, "I'm hanging up now. You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should enjoy your dumplings and have a happy New Year."
Fu Xize smiled and said, "You too, Happy New Year, see you next year."
He Fei replied: "See you next year."
The two chatted briefly and then the call ended.
Fu Xize and Xin Ai each took a bowl of dumplings and went to the table. Since there were only two of them, they did not use the long dining table at home, but a small round table with a diameter of one meter and one meter, which was an intimate distance in social occasions.
The two sat face to face and started making dumplings on New Year's Eve.
Xin Ai held chopsticks and a soup spoon, looking at Fu Xize opposite him, with a smile in his eyes and clear eyes. Such a simple and warm moment was something that Xin Ai and Fu Xize had never had in their previous lives. The best taste in the world is pure joy. Xin Ai enjoyed such simple happiness. He must have been touched and emotional. He said firmly: "Fu Xize, this is the first time I spend New Year's Eve with you like this. We will do the same in the future."
These simple words touched Fu Xize's heart.
Fu Xize has long been accustomed to being alone, living and spending holidays alone. It's not that he can't accept it, but he always feels lonely, dull, and boring. He is like a fixed NPC, shuttling between school and home.
Xin Ai lit up his life, Xin Ai made him extraordinary, and Xin Ai saved him.
Fu Xize sincerely prayed: "May this day come every year."
Xin Ai smiled and thought, yes, I will definitely keep this beauty, and we will spend New Year's Eve together every year in the future. He nodded seriously: "Yes, I must."
Fu Xize smiled, and was worried that Xin Ai was hungry. Xin's aunt was on holiday, so there must be no one to feed Xin Ai. He urged, "Let's eat."
Xin Ai hummed and started to try the dumplings cooked by Fu Xize. Then, his eyes lit up. They were super delicious. He praised them in various ways: "They are delicious. They are better than the crab roe dumplings I had in the restaurant last time."
Fu Xize is a very rigorous engineering student. When cooking, he strictly follows the instructions of his roommates, without any sudden inspiration or weird ingredients or seasonings. This rigor makes the dumplings he cooks very standard.
As for the dumpling skins, dumpling fillings, and dumpling soup, they were carefully prepared for the young master by the Xin family's chef, who had been making weight loss meals for years and was severely restricted in her performance. On New Year's Eve, she was finally allowed to add seasonings and oil. Her skills were there and she cooked with care, so naturally the dumplings would not be bad.
Seeing Xin Ai eating with relish, Fu Xize also became hungry. He picked up the dumplings and started to taste them.
Xin Ai reminded him gently, "Eat slowly, there are little gold pieces stuffed inside."
Fu Xize was stunned.
Xin Ai was worried that he would be too obsessed with mysophobia to eat it. After all, gold has been passed down from generation to generation and has been handled by too many people. In Fu Xize's eyes, it must be dirty. Fu Xize also has a mild mysophobia, so Xin Ai quickly explained: "I made it this year with gold bars. I have also disinfected it many times and boiled it in boiling water for a long time. You can eat it with confidence. It is very clean."
Fu Xize was not worried about the hygiene issue, but: "I ate it."
Xin Ai pretended to be surprised: "Ah?! You got it so soon? Congratulations, you won the jackpot."
Fu Xize pursed his lips and smiled. His boyfriend always spoke very nicely.
Xin Aize stood up, took a bowl, filled it with water, and handed it to Fu Xize.
Fu Xize spit out the little gold from the soup bowl. It was a tiny gold bead with intricate patterns on its surface. Fu Xize carefully identified it and found it was Xin Ai herself. Fu Xize smiled slowly.
He had never experienced such a New Year since he was a child.
He has his lover by his side, and his lover has put in so much effort to coax him that the fact that she personally makes dumplings for him is a sign of sincerity. Unexpectedly, the dumplings are stuffed with gold with a small portrait of his lover carved on it.
I feel like I've tasted some spicy food.
Fu Xize then ate the other dumplings.
Xin Ai was somewhat concerned about his food safety, so she kept reminding him, "Eat slowly, there's more than one."
Fu Xize ate slowly and ate warmly, letting this joy and happiness permeate his body and bones. It was not only the joy of the New Year, but also the joy of love...
He ate the second dumpling again and quickly spit out the little golden beads.
Xin Ai was surprised and gave various blessings: "I got it again! Good luck to Fu Xize."
Fu Xize glanced at him and vaguely guessed something. He then ate the third dumpling and the gold. Fu Xize laughed and revealed Xin Ai's routine: "You stuffed every dumpling, right?"
Xin Ai said confidently: "Yes, Fu Xize has good luck in his life."
Fu Xize shook his head and laughed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so annoying when he starts to make people laugh.
Xin Ai had already planned to spend the New Year's Eve with Fu Xize this year, so he had made corresponding preparations. He put a lot of thought into the New Year's gift for Fu Xize. He made sixty small gold coins and wrapped them in sixty dumplings. The probability of eating a small gold coin was 100%. He and Fu Xize each got half of the dumplings, so each got thirty small gold coins.
No matter what era, gold is a precious metal and people will be happy when they receive gold.
Regardless of anything else, it's obvious that money was spent on this.
Your Highness the Crown Prince must be respectful when dating. Being stingy is not like a northern man at all.
Fu Xize ate the dumplings slowly and found thirty gold pieces in them. From beginning to end, the corners of his mouth were never downcast. It was that kind of feeling, full of surprise and fun, a feeling of being deeply pampered.
This has definitely been an interesting year.
The Crown Prince is creating exclusive memories for the Crown Princess.
Xin Ai was a very meticulous person. For this New Year's Eve dinner, he considered that both of them were big eaters and thirty dumplings might not be enough, so he prepared a lot of side dishes, including chicken, mushrooms, vegetables...
The mushrooms and vegetables are in the soup bowl and can be eaten with dumplings.
After eating these, the two of them moved on to eat chicken. The farmhouse had old hens, which were delicious, and the meat was stewed until it was soft and not dry. The two of them ate the chicken voraciously.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Fu Xize took the initiative to clean up the dishes. He didn't have to wash the dishes because there was a dishwasher at home, but he still needed to wash the little gold pieces, clean up the kitchen, and wipe the dining table.
Fu Xize is a very clean person. When it comes to washing things, he will wash them until they are clean and bright.
He washed out the sixty little pieces of gold very quickly. Each one was spotless and dust-free, and even had a light and pleasant smell.
Xin Ai went back to the bedroom to get the red and black ropes, and then went to Fu Xize to get the sixty small gold beads that had been washed and dried. He returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and started doing handicrafts, weaving the sixty small gold beads into a bracelet.
People like him who come from art academies have first-class craftsmanship. After years of practice, their hands are steady and quick.
Fu Xize cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the living room. Xin Ai had already made two bracelets, one red and one black. One had a few more beads and the other had only one. This kind of bracelet, whether in black and gold or red and gold, is very classic. The aesthetic taste of people from the Academy of Fine Arts is there, and the handicrafts they make are quite beautiful.
Xin Ai called him casually: "Try it."
Just as Fu Xize was about to reach out to take it, Xin Ai had already taken the red bracelet and put it on him.
Fu Xize lowered his head and looked at Xin Ai who was carefully putting the bracelet on him. He felt indescribably gentle. He was really being spoiled. This was the first time since he was a child.
Xin Ai tied it for him and said with a smile, "It's just the right size."
After all, he is a first-class person in mathematics and art. He can roughly know how long the bracelet should be with just a glance at Fu Xize's wrist. What's more, he has touched Fu Xize's wrist countless times, so there is no way he will make a mistake with the length of the bracelet.
Fu Xize is tall, with slender limbs, and his wrist bones can be described as... smooth. Unfortunately... they have not evolved well, and his body hair is abundant. In winter, long pants and long sleeves cover it up, so his shortcomings are invisible and his advantages are magnified. In addition, the bracelet is so delicately woven and pleasing to the eye that Fu Xize can't help but take a photo of his wrist.
The people in the Academy of Fine Arts are really strong.
That’s the packaging.
Xin Ai is able to transform an ordinary person's wrist into a beautiful one that everyone will take a second look at.
Fu Xize thought he was ordinary, but at this moment he couldn't help but praise himself: "Looks good."
He fiddled with the beads on his wrist and couldn't help but glance at Xin Ai.
He washed the sixty beads together, but he ate all the beads in the two bracelets that Xin Ai had made for him.
This guy... has some spy skills.
The shorthand is first class.
But you clearly think it is very sweet. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so attentive that he can even tell which bead you have eaten.
Seeing that Fu Xize was satisfied, Xin Ai smiled proudly and said, "I'll make a few more for you. You can wear them if you want to, or keep them if you don't want to. Gold is very valuable."
Fu Xize laughed. He sat beside Xin Ai, reached out to hug him, pecked his cheek, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you."
This should be the best New Year I have had in 18 years.
Surprises come one after another, and it’s hard to keep up.
The previous resentful mood was swept away.
Xin Ai laughed loudly, holding his chin high, and said firmly: "My love is as valuable as gold."
Fu Xize laughed along with him, this was indeed valuable love.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a really down-to-earth person. Giving gold jewelry as a New Year gift is not only down-to-earth. Many of the various patterns on the gold beads are small portraits of the two of them, which is impossible to find on the market. It is obvious at first glance that they were designed by Xin Ai.
When the prince is in love, he spends both money and time.
It’s really good to be a crown princess.
I just want to lie down and be spoiled by the prince.
Xin Ai didn't know what Fu Xize was thinking. Even if he knew, he would probably be... happy about it. His rebirth was meant to bring Fu Xize a lifetime of favor. He just continued to work and started weaving the bracelet quickly. There were too many small gold beads, so he needed to weave many bracelets to use up all of them.
As for gold, a few beads on a bracelet are elegant and interesting, but a whole bracelet made of gold looks very nouveau riche. Xin Ai did her best to strike a balance between the two, making the bracelet simple, beautiful and not tacky.
Fu Xize used the thirty beads to make six bracelets, three red and three black.
Xin Ai started to weave her own. This one was simple, a couple's bracelet. She just had to copy the one she had just weaved for Fu Xize.
In the end, he also had six bracelets, and except for the beads, the styles were exactly the same as Fu Xize's.
Fu Xize is not a person who likes taking photos, nor does he like to speak on social media platforms. However, on Chinese New Year, he received a gift carefully prepared by his boyfriend, and he couldn't help but show it off. He took a photo of the six bracelets that Xin Ai had made for him and posted it on WeChat Moments: "I have bracelets."
From childhood to adulthood, Fu Xize has never been a person who wears jewelry because he is lazy.
I won’t buy it, I’m poor.
The first time I had jewelry in my life was because my boyfriend gave it to me.
Fu Xize gradually added many classmates and friends to his WeChat. Fu Xize would contact a group of them regularly to prevent his relationship from being known to anyone.
On New Year's Eve, everyone is free and likes to join in the fun. When I was browsing my Moments, I saw Fu Xize posting a gold bracelet designed, made, and woven by his boyfriend. It was really amazing.
"Look carefully, there is a small portrait of Xin Ai and a small portrait of them as a couple on the bead."
"Oh my god, this love story is like a novel, so sweet and romantic."
"This must have been a gift from the prince. He might have drawn the design himself and printed it in person."
"It's great to be the Crown Princess. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves you dearly."
When Fu Xize saw the sentence "maybe he drew the design himself and went to the store to print it himself", he actually had such a guess and even felt that it must be like this. People from the art academy have always been romantic.
However, Fu Xize did not reply. He just sat on the sofa, occasionally glancing at Xin Ai, and refreshed his Moments, which showed the same Moments from Xin Ai: "I got a bracelet."
He liked Xin Ai's circle of friends and left a message: "Fu Xize will always be by your side."
Xin Ai gave him the same compliment: "Xin Ai will always be by your side."
The two of them looked up in tacit understanding and smiled at each other.
There are naturally many people using magnifying glasses to dig out details under Xin Ai's circle of friends——
"If you zoom in, you'll see how exquisite the details are. There are so many different little couple portraits, all of which are moments of your time together. You also have Fu Xize's portrait on your side, and you even made a bracelet out of a single bead. Wow, this is too sweet, especially on New Year's Day."
"You drew this yourself and printed it in the store. These daily moments can't be drawn by others, and you can't buy them outside. You can only draw and design them yourself. You really put a lot of effort into it!"
"You made the bracelet too, right? You put so much thought into it. The Crown Princess is so lucky."
"Use gold to record every bit of your life. Love is as immortal as gold."
Xin Ai lowered his head and replied quickly. He always felt that it took time for others to like and comment, so it was natural for you to reply.
Xin Ai's response has given rise to countless people chatting in Fu Xize's circle of friends. They are all classmates and friends, and both sides can see it. It's the New Year and they are really free, so why not chat about young couples -
"Xin Ai also posted a couple's bracelet of the same style. I asked about it. The patterns on the gold were all designed by him. He made the gold beads by himself in the store. He just made the bracelet. The little gold beads were wrapped in dumplings and eaten one by one. It really is... a New Year's gift that took a lot of thought to prepare."
"Oh my god, this is so sweet, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will always be in love and sweet!"
"I can only say... people from the Academy of Fine Arts are both romantic and talented."
"They are really the sweetest and most generous couple I have ever seen. When they got engaged, I went to their dormitory to get winter dates, wedding candies, and cakes. Now during the Chinese New Year, I saw them posting gold bracelets that recorded their memories, and I was quite moved. It is always more difficult for same-sex couples, but they are affectionate and sincere. I think I will bear witness to their love along with time."
