Yu Qinghuan couldn't drink much, so she just drank a few sips with Zhao Rui and then put down her glass.
Zhao Rui didn't care and drank one cup after another in silence.
Yu Qinghuan originally wanted to persuade him to stop, but when she saw his depressed look, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
It only happens once a year, so just let him be.
Erguotou has a high alcohol content. Even though Zhao Rui has a good alcohol tolerance, he felt dizzy after drinking two bottles. Fortunately, he is a good drinker. He doesn't make any noise when he's drunk. He just takes out the photo from his wallet and looks at it silently.
"What's wrong with Uncle Rui?" Wang Ruirui blinked her big eyes, her young face full of concern.
Probably because of her living environment since childhood, the little girl was extremely sensitive and immediately noticed that Zhao Rui was in a bad mood.
"It's okay," Yu Qinghuan picked up a shrimp for her and said softly, "Your uncle Rui is just drunk, Ruirui, don't worry."
"Yeah." Wang Ruirui nodded believing it, and said in a crisp voice: "My father often gets drunk, but he beats people when he's drunk."
Yu Qinghuan felt a sudden pang of sadness in her heart. Children don't know how to hide things, and what they say in their childish words are often the truth. The fact that she had such a deep impression of her drunken father shows how miserable Wang Ruirui's life was at home.
He sighed and was about to pick up some more food for Wang Ruirui to comfort her, but he found that her second bowl of rice was empty. I was startled and quickly put down my chopsticks and asked, "Rui Rui, are you full?"
I secretly blamed myself in my heart, why didn't I pay more attention to Wang Ruirui? What if she got sick? What would I do during the New Year?
"Yes, a little." Wang Ruirui put down her chopsticks with a red face.
The little girl has lacked love since she was young, and Zhao Rui and Yu Qinghuan are the only two people who care for her. She was extremely happy and was afraid that she might do something nasty and make these two people unhappy. Therefore, he accepted all the dishes that the two people brought over and ate them all.
She is barely eight years old, but she has learned things too early that should not be borne by her age.
Yu Qinghuan felt distressed and worried, and didn't even have time to eat. He quickly took her out to help digest the food.
Fortunately, the child had good digestion, and after walking for only twenty minutes, Wang Ruirui said she was not full anymore.
Yu Qinghuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her little head, "Then Brother Qinghuan will take you back."
When they went out, Yu Qinghuan was afraid that Wang Ruirui would catch a cold, so she put a thick coat on her and wrapped the little girl up tightly.
At this moment, she was walking in the snow with small steps. Her whole body was covered with fur, just like a little penguin learning to walk.
Yu Qinghuan felt itchy and couldn't help but bend down. Amid Wang Ruirui's exclamation, he lifted her up and put her on his shoulders, "Come, Brother Qinghuan will let you ride on my horse."
This was the first time Wang Ruirui had such a novel experience since she was a child.
Soon, fear turned into excitement.
On a snowy winter night, the little girl's sweet laughter could be heard far away.
Perhaps she was tired from walking, as soon as she returned to the shack, Wang Ruirui's eyelids began to droop. Yu Qinghuan plugged in an electric blanket for her and let her sleep in her own bed.
Originally, Wang Ruirui had a personal assistant, but because today is New Year's Eve, the assistant also went back home to celebrate the New Year.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't send her back to the hotel alone, and Zhao Rui was drunk and couldn't even tell the directions, let alone take care of the child. He could only let Wang Ruirui sleep with him.
The little girl fell asleep very quickly. The sound of firecrackers outside had no effect on her at all. Yu Qinghuan touched her rosy little face and was about to clean up the table when a burst of heavy footsteps came from outside the shack, mixed with an anxious male voice, "San'er, slow down! Why are you running! Hey!"
Yu Qinghuan's breath hitched, and without even putting down the bowl in his hand, he ran to open the door.
"Qing Huan!" Huo Qu's nose tip was slightly red, and there was a snowflake hanging on his eyelashes, but his eyes were sparkling, "I'm coming!"
"We'll leave this to you." Huo Rong came up from behind with a helpless look on his face and said to Yu Qinghuan, "I heard that we were going to have a reunion dinner tonight, but he refused to stay at home and had to come over to accompany you."
After a pause, he patted Yu Qinghuan on the shoulder and said, "I wish you a happy new year in advance."
"Happy New Year." Yu Qinghuan replied in a daze. It was not until Huo Rong waved and walked away that he came to his senses. Looking at Huo Qu who was so close to him, he frowned and scolded: "It's New Year's Day. Why are you here instead of staying at home?"
"Qinghuan," Huo Qu tentatively held Yu Qinghuan's wrist, with an unchanged smile on his face, "I'll go with you."
Yu Qinghuan sighed, pulled him into the house, and closed the door. "Huo Qu, you may not understand that the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, so on this day, we have to spend it with the most important people. You can't be willful in the future, do you understand?"
"I know." Huo Qu looked into Yu Qinghuan's eyes and said seriously, word by word, "So, I want to live with you."
Yu Qinghuan's breath was choked and he couldn't speak for a long time.
The heart was instantly filled with warmth, and the original loneliness was swept away in an instant. Although these were simple words, they seemed to carry an incomparable magic, which made his eyes almost red.
Yu Qinghuan's Adam's apple moved, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Huo Qu in front of her suddenly widen his eyes and looked at Wang Ruirui and Zhao Rui in the room in disbelief, as if he had caught his partner in bed.
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling and was about to change the subject. The next second, she saw Huo Qu pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "Qinghuan, you don't want me to come to you, right?"
"Of course not." Yu Qinghuan replied without thinking.
"But why are there other people in your room? Are they the most important people to you? Do you want to spend the Spring Festival with them the most?"
Yu Qinghuan suddenly had a headache and wished that time could go back to a few minutes ago so that he could replay what he had said word by word.
Facing Huo Qu's accusing gaze, he explained under great pressure: "Sometimes... well... you also need to spend the Spring Festival with friends."
"Then why don't you want to live with me? Am I not your friend?"
Huo Qu immediately responded with red eyes.
He didn't want to be like this, but he couldn't control himself. There are more and more people around Qinghuan, and he is so scared. He is afraid that even if he tries his best to be nice to him, he will eventually get farther and farther away from him.
Feeling a tight pain in his chest, Huo Qu stared at Yu Qinghuan's eyes, as if he wanted him to give him a satisfactory answer.
"Baby," Yu Qinghuan put his arm around his shoulders, sighed, and said with a smile, "You can't be like this. The Spring Festival is a day for family reunion. Brother Rui, Ruirui, and I all have no family, so we can only make do together."
"Then I will live with you from now on, okay?"
"good."
"Then...then I will be your most important person, okay?"
Yu Qinghuan did not answer, and Huo Qu was so nervous that he almost held his breath. When his heart almost jumped out of his chest, Yu Qinghuan finally spoke.
He said, “You already are.”
As soon as Huo Qu heard that there would be a reunion dinner tonight, he came over without even having dinner. Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to reheat the leftovers on the table and serve them to him.
Huo Qu still didn't know how to use chopsticks and ate very slowly. By the time he was finally full, it was almost dawn.
Yu Qinghuan had just drunk a little wine and was now drunk and extremely excited. He pulled Huo Qu to sit at the door to watch the fireworks.
Although the fireworks in the sky are not as beautiful and dense as those in large squares, they have a unique flavor when reflected by the stars in the sky.
Yu Qinghuan looked up, feeling the strong New Year atmosphere, and said to Huo Tongdao: "Make a wish. I heard that wishes made under fireworks will come true."
"Really?" Huo Qu asked back in surprise.
"Yeah." Yu Qinghuan responded softly and teased, "What's wrong? Do you want to win the Nobel Prize?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Huo Qu's pious voice ringing in his ears.
He said: "I want to spend the New Year with Qinghuan forever."
Yu Qinghuan's breathing choked and his heartbeat instantly became unbalanced. After a long while, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Little fool."
"Qing Huan," just when he was stunned, Huo Qu suddenly held his hand and shyly put a cool object into his hand, "This is my New Year's gift to you."
"Hmm?" Yu Qinghuan lowered his head and looked at his palm.
There lay a round crystal pendant, sparkling and translucent, sparkling under the bright fireworks, as if a star had fallen from the sky, so beautiful. The only flaw is that the pendant is empty inside.
He found it a little funny. Did Huo Qu think of him as a little girl? She actually gave him such a small thing.
Just when she was about to ask if this was the necklace he gave her, she heard Huo Qu's proud yet shy voice: "Qing Huan, based on the principle of cryo-electron microscopy, I used liquid ethane to freeze our DNA here, so we can see it with an electron microscope."
He paused, carefully touched the crystal pendant, and said in a low voice: "Qing Huan, your DNA structure is the most beautiful I have ever seen."
Yu Qinghuan's fingers trembled slightly, and she asked him, "How do you have my DNA?"
Huo Qu quickly stole a glance at Yu Qinghuan, his eyelashes trembling, and said unconfidently: "I, I secretly picked up your hair."
Yu Qinghuan tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips that were curled up, and continued to ask: "Why do you want to make this thing?"
Huo Qu pursed his lips, revealing a round dimple on his left cheek, "I'm sorry, Qinghuan, sometimes I can't be with you. But with this, I can be with you all the time."
Yu Qinghuan was silent for a long time before he barely suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said with difficulty: "I didn't prepare any gifts..."
"It's okay," Huo Qu leaned closer to him, "I'm happier having you by my side than receiving any gift."
Yu Qinghuan thought, it's over, the moonlight must be too beautiful tonight, he actually had the urge to kiss Huo Qu.
This can’t be done. It absolutely can’t be done! Huo Qu is the most lovely person in the world, and he cannot lure him onto this wrong path.
But the emotions in her heart were too turbulent and overwhelming, Yu Qinghuan's nose felt sore, and she couldn't help but lean on Huo Qu's shoulder.
Just this time, he closed his eyes gently and indulged himself just this once. When tomorrow comes, what happened today will be forever hidden in his memory and never mentioned again.
Huo Qu's body was very warm. Even through the thick coat, Yu Qinghuan felt that his whole body was warm. The aftereffects of the alcohol reached its peak at this moment, and he leaned on Huo Qu's shoulder, drowsy.
"Qinghuan," Huo Qu called him. After a long while, Yu Qinghuan responded vaguely.
Huo Qu lowered his head. From his angle, he could see Yu Qinghuan's soft hair, long and thick eyelashes, and tall and delicate nose.
This person is so beautiful from head to toe, attracting my attention every minute and every second. Huo Qu's heart was beating fast, and an inexplicable urge was running through his body. He didn't know what to do to relieve the feeling.
She could only hug Yu Qinghuan tightly instinctively, and gently rubbed her head against his head, her voice filled with extreme desire, "Qinghuan, I like you so much."
On his shoulder, Yu Qinghuan was sleeping soundly with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
