On New Year's Day, Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng originally planned to prepare food together at home, then watch the New Year's Eve concert in the living room, and go to sleep after midnight.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. On the day before New Year's Day, Mu Qinshu called Xiao Qifeng early in the morning.
Lu Wanzheng was sleeping soundly. She was dreaming that Xiao Qifeng had prepared a lot of delicious food for her to celebrate their first New Year together, and she was helping out. It was a peaceful and comfortable life.
In her dream, Xiao Qifeng was very gentle, and his smile was still incredibly handsome. He placed the dishes he had just made on the table and told her that she could eat after washing her hands.
The room was filled with the aroma of food, which whetted her appetite, and her stomach growled involuntarily.
Xiao Qifeng placed the washed chopsticks in front of Lu Wanzheng, then filled her bowl with rice. "Are you hungry? Eat up."
These words were spoken more gently than usual.
Lu Wanzheng was about to open her mouth to eat when she heard a familiar melody, as if someone's phone was ringing. She looked up, ready to tell Xiao Qifeng beside her, but suddenly everything about Shen Bai disappeared. The kitchen was gone, the bowls and chopsticks in her hands were gone, and even Xiao Qifeng was gone.
She woke up from her sleep, still groggy, and felt the person holding her suddenly move and let go.
Xiao Qifeng also had his eyes half-closed, looking like he had just been woken up. He listened to the incessant ringing of the phone, irritably reached for his phone on the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID, and answered it.
The person on the other end of the phone was almost giving up when the call was finally answered. He immediately said happily, "Son, bring Wanzheng home for dinner tonight. We'll celebrate the New Year together as a family. We'll be staying at the old house tonight. I've already had your rooms cleaned."
Xiao Qifeng frowned. He actually wanted to spend some time alone with Lu Wanzheng, but the meaning of the New Year is family reunion, so he could only agree.
No matter what Mu Qinshu said on the other end of the phone, Xiao Qifeng responded with just an "Mm".
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qifeng silenced it and tossed it back into its original spot. He closed his eyes and hugged Lu Wanzheng again, resting his chin on her shoulder and rubbing it against her shoulder.
Lu Wanzheng was still half asleep and didn't know who was calling. She could only mutter, "Whose phone call was that just now?"
"Mom, let me take you home for dinner tonight and celebrate the New Year at the old house."
"oh."
She was already sleepy, and after speaking, she lost consciousness and fell asleep again.
Since finishing filming "I Saw Another You," Lu Wanzheng discussed with Yao Zijun about scheduling all her work for the afternoon so she could sleep in.
When she woke up again, the bed beside her was empty. She touched the blanket next to her and found it was cold. It seemed that Xiao Qifeng had been up for a long time.
She walked out of the bedroom wearing thick pajamas, but Xiao Qifeng was nowhere to be seen in the living room or kitchen. She scratched her head, wondering where he was.
She picked up a piece of bread from the table, started eating it, and walked towards the study. She remembered someone saying yesterday that they would be working from home today.
As expected, Lu Wanzheng found Xiao Qifeng in the study. She tiptoed over and saw several foreigners sitting on his computer in the distance, apparently having a meeting. Not wanting to disturb him, she tiptoed away, even slowing down her movements when closing the door.
