Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a happy and successful year ahead!
"Happy together!"
In a restaurant, Yue Jiuling was having dinner with her colleagues. Because it was New Year's Day, the management office gave everyone a three-day holiday, so they had a get-together first.
"Well, I'll have lunch with you guys this morning and then go back to eat tonight. That's how we'll spend the holiday today."
Ye Dongfeng, holding a glass of beer, said, "But poor Director Yu can't come back yet, otherwise we could have a proper get-together."
"Yeah, yeah, poor Director Yu!"
Mu Xiaoyi also said.
Everyone had a holiday for New Year's Day, but Director Yu was away on a business trip and attending a meeting in another city, so he couldn't come back to celebrate the holiday with everyone, which was a bit of a pity.
"Oh, it's alright. New Year's Day is just the Gregorian calendar New Year. There's also the lunar calendar New Year. When the lunar calendar New Year comes, Director Yu will definitely be back. Then we can all get together."
Ye Dongfeng chuckled and said, "But things might not be so easy for me this year. Ugh, what a headache!"
"What's wrong?" Yue Jiuling asked curiously after hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, "Why did you have a bad New Year?"
"Hehe, that's because our Dongfeng is going on a blind date, hahaha~"
Knowing the inside story, Mu Xiaoyi teased Ye Dongfeng, saying, "What's wrong? Your family is planning to introduce you to someone, but you're not happy? I already have a boyfriend, otherwise I would have gone on a blind date myself."
"Tch, you're kidding me," Ye Dongfeng rolled his eyes at Mu Xiaoyi and said, "If you were facing a group of people you didn't like, let's see what you would do then~"
"Oh, so the East Wind is for blind dates during the New Year? Is this blind date fun?"
When Ya Zi heard the term "blind date," he understood what it meant. It was actually a tradition for humans to find partners, and it seemed that Ye Dongfeng's family was about to introduce him to someone.
"Haha, Dongfeng, are blind dates fun?"
Little Cabbage joined in the fun with a laugh. Ye Dongfeng, hearing their teasing, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, feeling speechless. He said helplessly, "Sigh, whether it's fun or not, I still can't escape it. Last year I ran away and got scolded by my mom. I won't dare to run away this time. It's just that I might find it annoying."
"Tsk tsk, actually, it wouldn't be bad if you could meet the right person, considering you're not getting any younger."
Yinni glanced at Ye Dongfeng and said, "Besides, you're the only son in your family. No matter what, you'll still have to go back and inherit the family fortune in the end."
"That's right, Dongfeng, why don't you go and see if there's anything suitable?"
Bai Xinyu also said.
Yue Jiuling also said, "That's right, you'll have to find someone sooner or later anyway, unlike us, who can stay single for hundreds or thousands of years."
"Yeah, why don't you give it a try and look for it?"
Ya Zi chimed in, "What if there's a suitable one?"
Listening to his colleagues' words, Ye Dongfeng could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, you guys stop talking. Anyway, I can't escape this year, so I can only go home obediently. It's just a bit annoying."
Hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, Ahui, who had been eating with his head down, suddenly spoke up. He said in a low voice, "Actually, it's quite convenient for you humans to find a partner. There are even dating shows. In the past, we would just get together with anyone of the opposite sex we saw, and there were even cases of consanguineous marriages, which was not good at all."
"Exactly, look how good you guys are, look at those other people, they're so miserable."
Bai Xinyu looked at Ahui and said, "But Ahui, you can't do this anymore. Close-kin marriage is bad. You shouldn't do this again in the future."
"Yes, I already know that. After starting work, I've learned a lot and realized that these things are not good."
Ahui nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Oh, stop talking, let's eat, let's eat. Today is New Year's Day, let's have a good meal and then we'll have a holiday. By the way, are you all going home for the holiday?"
Ye Dongfeng, biting into a piece of green vegetable, said, "Xiaoyi and I are going back to our ancestral home. After all, the older generation all want to go back. What about you?"
Bai Xinyu said, "Hidden and I are also going back. After all, it's been a while since we've been back to the Demon Realm. By the way, Jiuling, what about you guys?"
Yue Jiuling looked up at the others and said, "I'll just stay in the human realm. Anyway, I don't have any relatives in the demon realm, so I'll just stay here."
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Ya Zi's heart stirred. He smiled and said, "You're not going back either? What a coincidence, I also have nowhere to go. How about I come to your house for a meal? Would you be welcome, Jiuling?"
"Oh, you're not going back either? Sure, come over for a meal, it's no problem."
When Ya Zi said she wasn't going back, Yue Jiuling was a little surprised, but she was quite happy for Ya Zi to come to her house for a meal, so she said, "Come on over, we can cook and eat together."
"Hehe, since neither of you are going back, why don't you just spend the holiday together? Wouldn't that be great?"
Ye Dongfeng overheard Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling's conversation and said with a smile, "That's good, no one will be lonely this way."
"Hehe, you all go home. I won't be in the restaurant either, because Brother Qi said he wanted to take me back to his hometown, so we won't be spending the holiday here this year."
Little Cabbage, biting her chopsticks, said, "But our restaurant will still stay open. Sister Jiuling, Brother Long, if you want to come and eat, it's free for you!"
