Chapter 232 Forget it, let's do it together.
Zhong Wan's sigh had barely faded when Lin Yan'an walked up behind her, reached out and embraced her.
Lin Yan'an rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, looking out the window at the growing festive atmosphere of the New Year, and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, the New Year is almost here."
In the past, if Zhao Jun went back to his hometown for the Spring Festival, then only he and his grandfather would be left at home, facing each other in silence.
It's utterly uninteresting.
If Zhao Jun were here, he would have made some arrangements.
This year, he has his own little family, a lover to spend his life with, and a... lively extended family.
Recently, Grandpa Zhou has been posting pictures of the New Year's goods that He Qilan has prepared in the group every day.
Lin Yan'an was somewhat surprised just by the amount of those items in reserve.
Not to mention, according to Zhong Wan, that's just a small matter.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan'an's desire to go back reached its peak.
His voice was filled with obvious anticipation: "That's great, we can go home tomorrow."
It was as if his words had awakened Zhong Wan's excitement to go home, and as if she had been infected by his feelings.
For a moment, the two people in the room were filled with anticipation.
Time always flies when you're in a good mood.
Zhong Wan felt the same way; it was as if she had just closed her eyes and it was time to get up again.
She noticed the movement beside her, squinted, and mumbled sleepily, "What time is it?"
"Did I disturb you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an picked up her phone and glanced at it: "It's only five o'clock, you should sleep a little longer."
"No...it's only five o'clock."
Zhong Wan yawned and closed her eyes again.
The next second, as if suddenly realizing something, she opened her eyes with a whoosh, turned to look at Lin Yan'an, looked at his back as he squatted on the ground, and then at the large suitcase in front of him, and said with a helpless smile, "It's only five o'clock, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"When you go to the film set later, I'll pack my luggage, so it won't take up any time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an smiled and neatly arranged the clothes in her hands inside, saying gently, "It's alright, I wasn't sleepy anyway, so I just tidied up a bit."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhong Wan and said softly, "You can continue sleeping. I'll try not to make a sound."
Watching his stealthy, busy figure, Zhong Wan couldn't possibly fall asleep.
She simply sat up as well, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and said, "Fine, let's do it together."
“We can pack together and it’ll be faster. We have nothing to do on the way anyway, so we can sleep on the way.”
Zhong Wan decisively reached for her clothes, put them on, got out of bed, and got busy.
The sky outside the window was still dark, and only a yellowish bedside lamp was lit in the room.
On this quiet morning, the two of them busied themselves as diligently as two little bees.
She usually doesn't feel like she has a lot of stuff to pack, but now that she's started tidying up, she's really starting to feel overwhelmed.
Even though I feel like I've never used some of these things, I still struggle with tidying them up.
On this point, Lin Yan'an was much more straightforward than her.
The two worked together seamlessly. When Zhong Wan couldn't make up her mind, she would hand the decision to Lin Yan'an and let him make the choice.
For a time, the efficiency was indeed quite high.
As the sky outside the window gradually brightened, their luggage was basically packed.
Looking at the two large suitcases standing side by side, Zhong Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yan'an felt a sudden surge of peace and security as she prepared to return home.
After packing up and having breakfast.
Lin Yanan went to the film set to do the final wrap-up work before the new year.
The last day of filming was more of a symbolic wrap-up, with some additional shots.
Everyone present was very excited. Even the director and other key members of the production team were unusually excited. The group efficiently finished all the food they had and announced that the crew was officially on holiday for the Spring Festival. The scene erupted in cheers.
Brother Zhou and Sister Wang still had to stay behind to distribute the New Year's gifts.
Lin Yan'an, however, did not hesitate and immediately turned around and went back to the hotel.
He was accompanied by Pei Xubai and his son.
Pei Xingyu held Zhong Suisui, who was still half asleep, and looked at Zhong Wan with reluctance, trying to persuade her: "Auntie, can't Suisui really come to my house for the New Year?"
Zhong Wan hadn't said anything yet.
Lin Yan'an bluntly shattered his fantasy: "Stop dreaming."
After saying that, he reached out and took Zhong Suisui back from Pei Xingyu's hand, then casually stuffed her into his pocket.
Zhong Suisui didn't resist. Smelling the familiar scent, she gurgled, closed her eyes, turned over, and went back to sleep.
“Eek…Sui Sui…”
Pei Xingyu looked at his empty arms and then at Lin Yan'an's bulging pockets, and suddenly felt a little itchy to touch them.
Seeing the eager look in his eyes, Pei Xubai couldn't help but clear his throat: "Xingyu."
His voice was steady, yet commanding without being angry.
When he was acting, he hadn't yet completely concealed his official position, and Pei Xingyu was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"knew."
Under Pei Xubai's watchful gaze, he couldn't help but tremble and instantly became obedient.
Upon seeing this, Pei Xubai's eyes flashed with a smile, and his voice softened considerably as he looked at Zhong Wan and the other woman and said, "Then let's go home. I wish you a happy new year in advance."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yan'an and instructed, "Your sister will definitely call you when she has time, so be sure to answer."
Lin Yan'an was speechless: "I understand."
He was speechless; he was clearly such a grown man.
The two didn't usually keep in touch, but every Chinese New Year,
His sister was so busy, yet she still made time to call him. Lin Yan'an couldn't decide whether to reconnect or teach him a lesson.
Hmm, maybe both.
Anyway, judging from his sister's tone...
Lin Yan'an looked at Pei Xubai with sympathy; only he could endure such treatment.
They even enjoyed it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan'an looked at Pei Xubai curiously and asked, "Do I get a holiday for Chinese New Year this year?"
Pei Xubai shrugged helplessly upon hearing this: "How could that be? My parents have already taken Yao Yao there, and Xingyu and I will be there later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an immediately understood.
It's Lunar New Year in Jun area again.
His sister is really busy; she hasn't been home for Chinese New Year for several years now.
He could understand that his sister, as a soldier, had a duty to perform, and being able to return home for the New Year was often a luxury for her. But looking at Pei Xubai at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that they had a hard time.
"Please give my regards to my sister, and to my uncles and aunts."
Lin Yan'an patted Pei Xubai's shoulder and said with a smile, "I also wish you a happy new year, although it's a bit restrictive to be in the camp."
Pei Xubai smiled, with a kind of magnanimity that he had long been accustomed to, and with the joy and anticipation of reuniting with his wife: "It's all the same. Home is wherever your sister is."
"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Let's get going and not miss our flight."
