Chapter 60: Light in the Eyes



Noon on New Year's Eve.

It has been almost a week since the holiday, but Wei Lai still has not taken any action. He has spent the entire week doing his winter vacation homework.

Qingting didn't urge him, but just called him to her house at noon to fulfill her bet.

Sitting at the dining table, Wei Lai looked at the table full of various exquisite snacks and tempting dishes, and felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

"Xiaoting, I've always wanted to ask you, who did you learn all this from?"

"With my mom, once you've learned the basics, you can follow the videos on your phone and do it."

Qingting said it simply, but Wei Lai picked up a piece of pastry with his chopsticks. Without even eating it, you could tell he put a lot of effort into it just by looking at it.

No wonder it takes a week to prepare.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve. If you make so much today, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish dinner at home."

Wei Lai really didn't have the luck to enjoy it. If he finished eating everything on the table, he would probably lie at home for the whole afternoon and there would be no chance of having the New Year's Eve dinner.

Qingting didn't say anything, just pointed a finger at him.

"What do you mean?" Wei Lai fiddled with her fingers. There were no wounds or anything like that on her hands, so it didn't seem like he meant to say that cooking was hard work for her.

"One thing. If you don't finish eating, you have to do one more thing to make me happy. That makes two things in total."

"Well, maybe I can try a little, but what you cook is really delicious. Can we share this good thing?" Wei Lai still felt guilty.

[I haven't even finished the last thing, and now another one is coming. This is going to kill me.]

Wei Lai had already made some plans in his mind for a week, but the time had not come yet. He was not sure if he could really make Qing Ting happy, and he did not want to get himself into trouble again.

"I've worked so hard for so long, of course I'll eat." Qingting looked at Wei Lai and smiled suddenly.

Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. He didn’t have to risk his life.

"What are you waiting for? Eat it quickly, or it will get cold."

"Don't urge me. I don't know what I'm making yet." Qingting took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and placed it in front of Wei Lai. "Come and try this. I've been researching for a long time to make it better than the ones sold outside."

"I see. You can have one too."

In order to finish the things on the table as quickly as possible, Qingting picked up a piece for him, and Wei Lai immediately picked up a piece for her.

But as they ate, he gradually no longer needed her to bring him food, and he gradually immersed himself in the delicious food.

In Xiaohe Town, people were surging and everyone was walking in one direction.

In response to the call, Xiaohe Town also began to restrict the use of fireworks and firecrackers this year, and all of them are concentrated in the largest park in Xiaohe Town.

There are always old people and children coming to the park occasionally on weekdays.

And tonight, adults like Wei Zikang and Xu Xiang who were busy at work also gathered here.

Most of them bring their children to play.

Wei Zikang didn't come with them tonight. Xu Xiang brought Wei Lai with him.

"Xiao Wei, where is your father?"

"Dad has something to do, so he'll come over later. Let me stay with you for a while."

"What's the point of you accompanying me? You should go play with Xiao Ting. I'm going to chat with your aunts."

Having arrived at the park, Xu Xiang left Wei Lai and walked directly towards the neighbors with their five or six-year-old children.

Seeing his mother teasing other people's children, Wei Lai touched his face.

He has grown a lot and his face is not as delicate as before, but this woman is too realistic. She gets bored with the old and loves new things and goes to play with other people's children.

Or is it that he holds a grudge because he only took a few bites and stopped eating during the New Year's Eve dinner tonight?

Can you blame him for this? At noon at Qingting's house, they agreed to eat together, but when he came to his senses, most of the food had already gone into his stomach.

After eating such a table full of cakes and dishes, he was able to spare some appetite for a few bites of food at night, which was the result of secretly taking two stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Street lights are scattered throughout the park, making it not very bright, but still allowing you to see the surroundings clearly.

But suddenly a pair of hands covered his eyes and everything in front of him became dark.

But the smell wafting from behind and the voice ringing in my ears were familiar and reassuring, and the darkness in front of me was nothing.

"I was wondering how you were doing." Wei Lai said casually.

"You missed me? Then turn around and look at me." Qingting said with a smile and let go of his hand.

Wei Lai followed her instructions and turned around to see Qing Qishu and An Baoer standing not far behind him, and Qing Qishu was looking at him with a dark face.

"Um... hello uncle, you and Aunt An are here to play too." Wei Lai quickly took a step forward to distance himself from Qingting and greeted the Qing couple.

Qing Qishu wanted to walk over, but Wei Lai didn't dare to move.

"Qi Shu, let's go over there and let the children play by themselves."

Seeing the situation, An Baoer pulled Qi Shu away and smiled gently at Wei Lai and the others before leaving.

Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

It was as if a mountain had been removed from his body, and Wei Lai was extremely grateful to An Baoer.

Turning around again, Wei Lai found Qingting still laughing beside him.

"why are you laughing?"

"Then what are you afraid of?" Qingting jumped to Wei Lai's side, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and looked at him cunningly.

"Who said I was afraid... Since we're in the park, what do we want to do?"

"What are you playing? Come with me."

Qingting looked around and pulled Wei Lai to a seesaw.
