Chapter 95 I'll be childish with you (final ending)
On the eve of New Year's Eve, there was another heavy snowfall in the city. Early the next morning, pedestrians left a series of footprints of varying sizes on the thick snow on the streets.
On New Year's Eve, the city is already decorated with lanterns to suit the occasion. The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is thick and heavy, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going.
This was Pei Lang's first year in the alien world. He woke up early, put on his clothes, wrapped himself tightly, and prepared to go out for shopping and walking in the snow.
Yan Han got up helplessly and washed up. "We've bought all the New Year's goods. Can we have breakfast before going out?"
"good."
To be honest, Yan Han has no particular interest in the Chinese New Year. When he was a child, the Chinese New Year meant eating with his older brother Yan Xiuyuan, which was what he disliked the most. So from childhood to adulthood, he has no special expectations or likes for various festivals, and even resists them.
However, this year he told his father in advance that he would not go to the old house to celebrate New Year's Eve. His father understood that they wanted to spend New Year's Eve alone, so he readily agreed.
Anyway, even if they come over they won’t stay overnight. At most they will have a meal and leave. It’s better to let them live happily on their own.
This year is very different. Every day since Pei Lang's company is worth looking forward to. It is also the first time that Yan Han feels that celebrating the New Year can be so happy.
It’s like putting an end to this year’s happiness and welcoming the next year’s happiness.
However, Pei Lang's look of being ready to rush out and roll in the snow at any time made Yan Han feel helpless and amused.
Ever since it snowed in winter, he would hold Pei Lang's hand tightly every time he went out. If he accidentally let go, Pei Lang would hold a handful of snow and play with it by himself. Every time, his hands would get wet and cold, and he would have to hold them for a while before they could warm up.
"Today is New Year's Eve. It's been a while since I've had anyone to celebrate the New Year with me." Pei Lang wasn't being hypocritical, he was just sighing.
Since his father passed away, he has been working alone in the entertainment industry. During the New Year and other holidays, apart from his fans, only his assistants and agents would send him blessings.
He is a nostalgic person. During the Chinese New Year, he will definitely cancel all his work and schedule and return to the old house where he lived with his father, spending a lonely year alone in the empty home.
He never thought that one day he would have a lover and spend the New Year with his lover.
Yan Han would never know these things, and Pei Lang did not intend to let him know. From Yan Han's perspective, what he probably thought of was that Pei Ziqing and his family of three isolated Pei Lang, so Pei Lang could only spend the New Year alone.
After washing up, he hugged Pei Lang to comfort him. "I'll make the New Year's Eve dinner today. Aunt Lin also has to go home for the New Year and won't be back until after the Lantern Festival."
"..." Pei Lang rubbed his face against Yan Han's chest without saying a word. Even though Yan Han couldn't see his face, he knew what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, I learned it specially from Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin tried it herself and said it was delicious." Although he really didn't have any natural talent in cooking, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to learn it.
Although the food he makes now doesn't look very good, it still tastes good.
He was not very good at tasting food, let alone reviewing it, so he specially asked Aunt Lin to taste it. Only after hearing Aunt Lin's praise in person did he decide to cook it for Pei Lang.
Pei Lang couldn't say that it was because Aunt Lin didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of offending Yan Han. "Okay, let's do it together."
After they finished packing up and went downstairs, Aunt Lin made her last breakfast and packed up to go back. Before leaving, she received a big red envelope from Pei Lang and a year-end bonus from Yan Han.
It was already ten o'clock when they finished breakfast and went out. The snow outside had been cleared to create a path for walking. Pei Lang pulled Yan Han and deliberately walked in the unkempt area. He was happy only after leaving a few footprints.
In fact, Pei Lang didn't have anything to buy, he just wanted to go out for a walk. He came across some special snacks that were only available during the Chinese New Year, so he bought some and tried them.
He simply liked holding Yan Han's hand and walking around. Occasionally, the wind blowing with the snow would blow on his face, making him feel cool, and the big hand wrapped around his hand would be so hot that it made him feel fulfilled and at ease.
They walked around and time passed. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. They went into a restaurant to eat. When they came out, it was already two or three in the afternoon. It was time to go home.
"Honey, is the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner listed?" Pei Lang asked, feeling warm after returning home, as he took off his down jacket and held it in his arms.
"I can't cook much." Yan Han didn't seem to need a list. He only learned three or four dishes from Aunt Lin, and it took him a lot of effort to learn them.
"Then I'll see what ingredients are in the refrigerator, and then I'll decide what to make." They went upstairs together, put the clothes away, and then went back downstairs to prepare the ingredients.
Several large refrigerators were filled to the brim. Aunt Lin sorted and put everything in order. She took out the ingredients that needed to be cooked, washed and cut them, and packaged the auxiliary ingredients that needed to be prepared. Yan Han cut the vegetables clumsily and carefully. Pei Lang couldn't help but want to laugh, but Yan Han who worked so hard and seriously was very cute and responsible.
It was almost five o'clock when they prepared the ingredients. Yan Han started cooking first, while Pei Lang prepared the fruit plate and watched. To be honest, he was a little afraid that Yan Han would burn his skin, because he was very careful when putting the ingredients in, but the hot oil still splashed on the back of his hand, and a small blister appeared on his skin instantly.
Fortunately, the process of making the first dish went smoothly, but the dish didn’t look very good. Usually Aunt Lin would teach step by step, but now Yan Han had to do it from start to finish by himself. It was inevitable that there were some mistakes in the steps, and he didn’t control the heat well enough, so the dish was a little burnt.
Yan Han couldn't wait to let Pei Lang taste it, and Pei Lang took a piece and ate it. The meat was a little salty and had a slightly burnt taste, but it was not unacceptable. "It's delicious and goes well with rice."
"Really?" Yan Han's eyes lit up, and he took a bite with half-belief, but was instantly disappointed after tasting it. "It's actually not delicious."
"How could that be? This is a huge improvement. If I feed this dish to a stray dog, it will definitely kowtow to me three times on the spot as a thank you."
Although, it doesn't sound like an exaggeration.
"How dare you say that you are not allowed to feed the food I cooked to the dog." But he still succeeded in making Yan Han laugh. "Then what dish should I make next?"
"Okay, come on, husband!" Pei Lang encouraged, ate another piece, and brought the dish to the table.
After Yan Han copied three dishes, Pei Lang followed, a total of six dishes, a soup, a fruit plate, and a pot of fruit wine.
The two of them had a rich and ceremonial meal. They clinked their glasses before eating. Some of Yan Han's dishes were salty and some were bland. The salty ones went well with rice, while the bland ones were eaten alone. Although they were not as good as Aunt Lin's, they were lively enough and Pei Lang enjoyed them.
After dinner, they would stay up to watch the traditional Spring Festival Gala. They would snuggle together to watch the Gala, go out to set off fireworks when the countdown was about to start, hug each other in the snow and say "Happy New Year" to each other, and when they had enough fun, they would go home to wash up, lie in the same quilt, and feel each other's body temperature.
Life is so traditional and ordinary, yet so sweet and happy.
When we are by each other's side, it seems as if there are no regrets or disappointments in the past, and no dreams to be had in the future. It's just like this, flowing slowly until the end of life.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they bought tickets to see a movie.
The movie was "Rotten" shot by Pei Lang. Today was the first day of its release and there were many people watching it. Pei Lang had a hard time getting two tickets.
The opening time was 12:25 pm. They ate glutinous rice balls and dressed up before going out. The warm winter sun was shining outside, but it could not melt all the snow that had accumulated for two days. The melting snow was colder than the snow, so they wrapped themselves up tightly before going out.
Pei Lang promoted the movie online and took a photo of the two tickets. The leading actors checked in at the cinema and showed off their love. Fans left messages hoping to meet them by chance.
But it was just a thought. Pei Lang blurred the name of the cinema and turned off the location. It was impossible to meet by chance, not to mention that the fans only said so verbally.
They entered on time. It was hard to see who was who in the dim theater, so they could only find their seats by the light of the big screen playing the trailer. They were in the middle prime position, and the seats were full. When the movie started, the slightly noisy theater suddenly became quiet.
Yan Han held Pei Lang's hand tightly. Although they wore masks, they were still afraid of being recognized. Yan Han was ready to take Pei Lang away at any time.
Pei Lang felt that the story was fascinating and captivating during the filming. After post-production, the images presented were even more expressive than the script. Whether it was the actors, the scene switching, the shooting angles, or the dubbing, everything was done to perfection. It was a feast.
A wonderful story with unexpected twists and turns. Pei Lang, as the leading actor, remembered the plot deeply in his mind, and his heart also followed the ups and downs of the plot, let alone others.
The movie played the scene where the man in black shot Guan Ming.
The audience's perspective instantly switched to Guan Ming's. The bullet from the man in black hit the "audience" right in the heart. Everyone in the theater shuddered. The screen then switched to Guan Ming being shot. Pei Lang's acting skills exploded.
Because of his clenched hands, Pei Lang felt Yan Han's hands were shaking. He looked over and saw Yan Han seemed to be immersed in the movie, but only Pei Lang knew that he was not.
He was lost in memories.
The scene just now reminded him of Pei Lang who was actually shot, the scene of Pei Lang lying weak and pale on the hospital bed waiting to be rescued, and his own feelings of helplessness and fear at the time, which was why he had such a big reaction.
It was inconvenient to talk in the cinema, so Pei Lang could only squeeze Yan Han's hand and then gently kiss Yan Han on the cheek. Yan Han instantly became calm, his eyes as dark as ink, looking back at Pei Lang.
With the help of the light from the movie, he could clearly see Pei Lang's lip movements. "Don't be afraid, I'm always here."
This sentence is worth a thousand words. As long as Pei Lang is there, his life will always be bright.
The movie was quiet, the big screen scrolled with the names of the people involved in the production, the lights in the theater lit up instantly, and people left one after another, still not satisfied. Pei Lang and Yan Han followed hand in hand, and were finally recognized when they were almost at the door.
Someone shouted Pei Lang's name. Their figures and demeanor could not be ignored, so they were naturally discovered by the large crowd.
Half of the people who came to watch the movie were Pei Lang's fans. After the shout, Yan Han pulled Pei Lang to run. There were many people outside, so they tried to avoid bumping into passers-by while worrying about being caught up by the fans behind them.
Pei Lang didn't know why he ran away. His fans respected him enough and wouldn't do anything even if he was exposed. But Yan Han pulled him, so he ran away.
Yan Han didn't feel at ease until he ran out of the mall, got in the car and drove to the next place.
"Hahahaha, why are you running?" Pei Lang panted but still laughed.
"I don't know either." Yan Han was stumped by the question. With his power, who would dare to do anything to Pei Lang? Even if he was recognized by fans, could anyone do something excessive in front of him? "I might have simply thought they were coming to snatch you away."
"Hahaha~~ How can you have such a childish idea."
“It’s really childish.”
Pei Lang laughed loudly, and Yan Han laughed along with him. He himself felt that it was childish, but what could he do? He couldn't help laughing every time.
Pei Lang laughed until his eyes were filled with tears. "It's okay. I'll be childish with you."
Only in front of someone you love and trust enough will you not be childish unconsciously. Pei Lang does not think this is a shortcoming. Instead, he thinks Yan Han is quite lovable.
Apart from his occasional childishness, Yan Han is very secure and responsible most of the time, and is a man who dotes on his wife.
He is willing to accompany him in his childhood and grow old together.
Life is simple and they will love each other forever.
