Chapter 58 End
A family of three celebrating the Spring Festival (1)
Four years later.
Chi Liu sat on the sofa wearing a casual turtleneck sweater and jeans, closing his eyes and looking at the photo album from his wedding.
The house has just been thoroughly cleaned and the windows are spotless.
There are fragrant plum blossoms in the vase on the coffee table, yellow oranges in the fruit plate, and a list of things to buy tomorrow is placed underneath.
There are beautiful window grilles on the floor-to-ceiling windows. Winter snow is falling outside, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard occasionally.
New Year's Eve is coming soon, and Chu Qi, as the president of Yingwang, is being dragged away by Secretary Wen to attend an important social event in another city.
In the words of Secretary Wen, this is a big business worth hundreds of millions of dollars in a minute! The boss must be present!
Chi Liu was very calm, but Secretary Wen made a video call in front of Chu Qi every day to complain that he could no longer control his boss and asked Chi Liu for help.
Then Chi Liu just gave a look and kept Chu Qi there for another day.
Last night was unusually quiet and Chi Liu did not receive any video calls.
At this time, he was watching TV with a cup of hot tea in his hand.
The program "Xiao Ting Solve Problems" is being played on TV. Contributors submit their works to the program, and the host Xiao Ting solves their problems. The program focuses on live broadcast and authenticity.
At this time, the host and a young man were standing in front of a haunted house. The young man grabbed his messy hair in distress and said, "I want to complain about this haunted house! I really encountered a ghost in it!"
His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he said madly: "I did persuade my wife to accompany me to the haunted house, but I didn't expect to encounter a ghost! QAQ"
The host was a little confused by the howl: "What did you say?" They thought the fan was complaining about the haunted house facilities. Was he saying that the haunted house was haunted?!
They received this kind of submission during the Chinese New Year. Isn't it a bit unlucky? QAQ
The host forced a smile and asked, "Do you have any substantial evidence?"
The young man's eyes widened, his face serious: "We walked to the middle of the haunted house, and when we passed a coffin, everyone was screaming. My girlfriend was so scared that her bag fell into it, and then! The thing lying there suddenly stood up, grabbed my wrist, and wanted to return the bag to us!"
The host was even more confused: "That should be a kind haunted house employee?"
The young man despaired and said, "No! She is a beautiful girl who is so white and transparent!" Her body is so transparent that you can see the wall opposite through it!
"Luckily, I was smart at that time. I didn't even take the bag and ran out with my wife! That's why we were not caught by the ghost!"
The host was in a daze for the first time and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the intern videographer waved to the host, motioning her to come over, and without caring that the camera was still running and his voice could be recorded, he said: "I think there is something wrong with this guy!"
As he spoke, he showed the host his phone screen: "Look, I searched his social account, and he has posted this kind of weird posts before. For example, the nutritious meal he ordered was taken away by a bear-headed man, and the table of food he prepared for his girlfriend (now wife) in the villa disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind only countless large banknotes. He suspected that it was also the bear-headed man."
"The bear-headed man is just an urban legend from a few years ago. He doesn't really exist! I think this guy either has some mental illness, or he wants to be famous and gain traffic and is deliberately playing tricks on us!"
The show was about to get out of control, so the experienced female host quickly signaled him to shut up. She strode in front of the camera and smiled: "Now, let's go to commercial break! After the commercial, the excitement continues!"
"Xiaoting reminds you again that all kinds of illegal and criminal incidents are prevalent at the end of the year. Please protect your personal and property safety!"
After saying that, he immediately cut off the live broadcast and inserted an advertisement.
Chi Liu looked at the advertisement and finally finished his hot tea.
He twitched his lips: Secretary Wen and Ying Wang's PR department are really amazing! They were able to turn the bear-headed man with so many solid photos a few years ago into an urban legend!
And, he recognized it, it was the haunted house run by Junzi's mother, Ms. Gu! The "female ghost" that the young man encountered was most likely Ms. Gu herself.
After retiring, Ms. Gu settled down in this community with her children and lived a peaceful life. The two families lived close to each other and had children of similar ages and situations, so they often visited each other.
She used to work in special dungeons and had no shortage of money, but she always wanted to start a new business. So, she took advantage of the recent popularity of dark styles among young people and opened a haunted house. She would occasionally use her abilities to guest-star as an NPC.
Ms. Gu is a strong woman. She is still working as the children are on winter vacation at the end of the year. The little ones are very well behaved and don't bother their mother. Now they are playing in the snow and making snowmen with Chu Tuantuan in the community.
Thinking of this, Chi Liu looked at his watch and it was almost evening.
So he got up and walked out: Chu Tuantuan is going to kindergarten this year, and he has homework during the winter vacation. After playing for so long, it’s time for him to come back for dinner and do homework!
When Chi Liu went outside, it was still snowing. The community was covered in silver, with bright street lights and the sounds of children laughing and playing everywhere.
Chi Liu found Chu Tuan Tuan, a group of snow-white children, and a group of human children in the small square.
They were divided into two camps having a snowball fight.
Four-year-old Chu Tuantuan was wearing a red woolen hat decorated with teddy bears, a white sweater and overalls. His little face was rosy, and when he blinked his beautiful big eyes, he looked as cute as a glutinous rice dumpling. He was running happily on the snow with his short legs, dodging the flying snowballs flexibly, smiling cunningly, and throwing the snowball in his hand with a "whoosh".
However, the ones who were hit hard were their own teammates.
Junzi, who was already in elementary school, covered his head and cried out "Ouch!" He stopped and looked over with wide eyes: "Chu Tuan Tuan! How many times have I told you that you should hit our enemy, not me!"
As soon as Junzi stopped, all the enemy kids came to attack him, throwing snowballs at him. Even his brothers and sisters cheered mercilessly, "Brother Junzi is out!"
Chu Tuan Tuan finally stopped and smiled with glee at the unfortunate look of Junzi, who was covered in snow.
Chi Liu showed a soft helpless expression on his face and complained, "Why do you always pick on him?"
Since childhood, Chu Tuantuan has always loved teasing Junzi. Later, he even began to politely call him "Brother Xiangxiang", but he still called Junzi "Yuchun's subordinate". Chi Liu, as a parent, corrected him many times but he still couldn't change.
Fortunately, Junzi didn’t mind and still liked Chutuantuan very much.
Chu Tuan Tuan's eyes lit up at this moment, and he quickly rushed towards Chi Liu with his short legs and open arms: "Mommy!"
Chi Liu half squatted down and steadily caught the lively little ball.
Chu Tuantuan acted coquettishly in Chi Liu's warm embrace. He buried his little face in the young man's neck and rubbed it gently, which made Chi Liu feel a little itchy.
He rubbed the little guy's soft hair and laughed, "I'm asking you, why do you always tease others?"
Chu Tuan Tuan tilted his head in Chi Liu's arms, blinked his big eyes, and said in a childish but confident voice: "Because he is my Yuchun's subordinate!"
Chi Liu pointed his finger at Chu Tuan Tuan's forehead again, raised his eyebrows and said: "He is your friend, you are not allowed to call him your subordinate or tease him anymore, understand?" Children in a civilized human society should of course be more civilized!
Chu Tuan Tuan is so cute even when he pouts unhappily. He said, "Okay." He won't shout for the time being, and he won't tease that guy for the time being.
Chi Liu held out his pinky finger: "No, you're not allowed to do that in the future. Pinky promise."
Chu Tuantuan was very unwilling to be discovered, but he still stretched out his little hand and hooked his fingers with Chi Liu seriously: Humph, Yu Chun's men are lucky!
Chi Liu's heart softened. He kissed Chu Tuan Tuan's cheek and said, "Be good. I'll make fried meatballs for you tonight."
Chu Tuan Tuan's eyes lit up, and immediately a sweet smile appeared on his cheeks: "Great!"
At this time, the game started again, and the eliminated kid Junzi ran over. He first said politely, "Uncle Xiaochi."
Chi Liu looked at the young boy and curved his eyes: "Thank you for taking care of him today."
Junzi: "You're welcome!" He glanced at the little guy in Chi Liu's arms, thinking that he was being taught a lesson by Chi Liu, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Chi Chu Tuan Tuan didn't throw the snowball at me on purpose, we were just playing a game."
Chi Liu bent his eyes and said, "Okay. Are you and your brother and sister coming to my house for dinner today?"
Chu Tuan Tuan, seeing his subordinate's kindness, said softly, "There are fried meatballs made by mommy! They are delicious!"
Junzi and Chu Tuantuan looked at each other, blushed a little, and quickly looked away and said, "Okay! Thank you Uncle Chi! I'll go call my brothers and sisters now!"
Chi Liu looked at the adorable little boy with fair skin running towards the group of children, and couldn't help but hug Chu Tuan Tuan and smile.
…
After Chi Liu and the children finished their meal, it was colder outside and the snow was falling harder.
Chi Liu and Ms. Gu made a phone call and decided to let the children stay at home overnight.
There is floor heating at home. Chu Tuantuan's room is very large, with a bed, a sofa, a carpet and even a tent on the floor. It is warm everywhere and the children can sleep comfortably.
Chu Tuan Tuan chose his little tent tonight. He was so sleepy in his pajamas that he kept yawning, but he didn't forget to show off to Chi Liu: "Mommy, I'm an adventurer living in a tent tonight!"
Junzi, who shared the tent with him, said, "What about me?"
Chu Tuan Tuan: "Of course you are the adventurer's follower!"
The other kids who didn’t sleep in tents: “What about us?”
Chutuantuan: "You are the adventurer's followers, brothers and sisters!"
Chi Liu was speechless: “.” Where on earth did his son learn these words!
He smiled helplessly, kissed Chu Tuan Tuan, checked on the other children, said, "We're going shopping tomorrow, you guys go to bed early, good night," and left the room.
The moment he gently closed the door, his pupils shrank.
Before I could react, I was grabbed by a big hand and pressed against the wall next to me.
The dusty man lifted his chin and kissed him.
Chi Liu opened his eyes wide and made a "hmm" sound. Something soft and powerful entered his mouth, occupying everything...
The cold and strange fragrance was overwhelming, and a big hand was tightly grasped on his waist.
After a kiss.
Chi Liuruan was breathing softly in Chu Qi's arms.
The handsome man hugged the young man tightly, sighing with satisfaction and greed: "Baby, I miss you so much"
Chi Liu was just about to ask, "Is your meeting over?" when his cell phone rang.
Chu Qi looked at the annoying cell phone with a smile: "Dear——" Can you throw it away?
Chi Liu was startled when he saw Secretary Wen's name on the screen, then looked at Chu Qi thoughtfully, then twitched his lips and answered the phone.
Secretary Wen's voice came out like crazy: "Xiao Chi! Is the boss with you?!"
Chi Liu's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "...Here."
Secretary Wen: "Ahhh, I'm going crazy! You know what, Xiaochi, I'm even more pitiful than a cabbage in winter! The boss was supposed to meet a client with me tonight, and he skipped the meeting, but did you know that he left behind a super scary fake boss?!"
“Xiao Chi, imagine what the client’s expression would be when he arrived at the banquet hall and saw a grinning dummy with an uncanny valley effect that was even worse than a robot! The boss just put the dummy there and I didn’t even have a chance to get it out!”
"How am I going to explain this to our most valued customers!"
Chi Liu: "..."
He stared at Chu Qi speechlessly: "Didn't you say you would work hard?"
Chu Qi raised his hands in surrender, still smiling: "Wife, that is also a part of me!" Although it was only made of finger bones.
He hugged Chi Liu, and a kind of innocent expression appeared on his handsome face: "Wife, I just missed you too much. You said that New Year is a day for family reunion, how could you leave me out here alone?"
The tall and handsome man snatched the phone and threw it on the sofa, hugging Chi Liu and acting coquettishly: "Besides, haven't you been praising Secretary Wen for his ability? Of course he can handle this job too!"
Chi Liu: "..."
Secretary Wen, who was sitting on the sofa and had already shed two lines of wide noodles tears, said: "....."
