Yang Xu, Shen Moqiu
While the two were still in the car, they saw Lin Bosang, dressed in bright clothes, standing at the gate of their villa, waiting for them and waving at them.
It's fair to say that there's a reason why the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix like to play together; this refers to Yang Xu and Lin Bosang.
"Ahhhhhh"
"Lin Bosang, hurry up and take what you're holding from me!"
"It's so heavy!"
As soon as Yang Xu got off the bus, he quickly handed over all his things to Lin Bosang. Although the two were in the same class, they weren't that familiar with each other at first. It wasn't until they both joined the school's basketball team that they became friends after a fight.
"Why did you bring so much stuff?"
"If you're coming to pay a New Year's visit, just do so. What do you need to bring? Your presence is enough."
"Come on, let's go inside."
After saying that, Lin Bosang led the two people into the villa. He then handed the things in his hands to the butler. When the butler tried to take the things from Shen Moqiu, Shen refused.
Yang Xu's hands were filled with a few boxes of pastries and supplements that he had bought casually, but the gift he was holding was a gift he had specially prepared for his parents-in-law, so he had been holding it tightly from the very beginning.
"Why"
"Shen Moqiu, what's going on?"
Although Shen Moqiu didn't say it, Yang Xu knew all too well about Shen Moqiu's little cricket, so he quickly pulled Lin Bosang aside and said:
"We've come to wish your family a Happy New Year, we can't forget the Nanqing family, right?"
"How about you take us to Nanqing's house to pay our New Year's respects first?"
We should still observe proper etiquette.
Lin Bosang thought about it and agreed. Although he was running back and forth between the two places every day, they were all classmates. Since they came to his place to wish him a Happy New Year, it would not be appropriate not to go to Nan Qing's place. So he agreed and led the two people who had just entered the villa gate, or even before they had reached the villa, back out.
Although the Nanqing family and the Lin Bosang family are said to be next-door neighbors, they are actually not close at all. The villas of the two families are more like small estates, with sizable gardens in the front and back, and there is more than just the main villa in the estate.
So it took the three of them nearly ten minutes to walk to the front gate of Nanqing's house.
Lin Bosang rang the doorbell, and someone quickly opened the door. Upon seeing that it was Lin Bosang, the person invited the three of them inside.
Nan Qing's garden was even more exquisite than Lin Bosang's. Upon entering the gate, one was greeted by a beautifully shaped sculpted fountain. Both sides of the garden were filled with neatly maintained lawns and shrubs. Even in winter, the entire garden was still lush and green, full of vitality.
The main villa of the Nanqing family is a three-story villa with a considerable area. Its white exterior walls are particularly dazzling in the sunlight, and huge Roman columns support the towering portico, making it look solemn and grand.
Looking at the villa in front of him, Yang Xu once again silently lit an incense stick for his good brother.
Good heavens! He and Shen Moqiu both grew up in ordinary families. They had only ever seen this kind of scene on TV. Only by seeing it with their own eyes could they truly understand the difference between a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing and an ordinary family like theirs.
Shen Moqiu, oh Shen Moqiu.
It's not that I don't think you have a good chance.
This is the daughter of the Gu family, the richest family in China!!!
How could their small family possibly be worthy of such a wealthy family? Even if Nan Qing eventually fell in love with Shen Moqiu, in Yang Xu's eyes, how could the Gu family's pampered daughter, whom they had raised for twenty years, possibly marry a poor boy? There was no such possibility.
If he were Nan Qing's father, he would probably want to skin Shen Moqiu alive.
Even if he knew that Shen Moqiu's prodigious intelligence would guarantee his future success, it would still be far behind the Gu family. Such a family is simply incomparable to anyone's hard work and struggle.
Yang Xu turned to look at Shen Moqiu and found that he was looking at the mansion in front of him without much emotional fluctuation.
Oh no, this guy is really stuck and can't get out.
The three of them quickly arrived at the villa entrance, where they were greeted by Gu's mother.
"Bai Sang, why didn't you say anything beforehand? And Nan Qing, he didn't even know his classmate was coming to visit for the New Year."
Mother Gu had heard from the servants that Lin Bosang had come to pay New Year's respects with two classmates carrying a lot of gifts, so she quickly went out to greet them.
"Why"
"Hey, haven't we met before?"
Looking at Shen Moqiu's handsome face, Gu's mother seemed to recognize him, but she couldn't quite remember where she had seen him before.
Shen Moqiu was amused to see that his mother-in-law still remembered him after all this time, and a smile quickly spread across his face as he replied in an extremely gentle voice:
"Auntie, my name is Shen Moqiu, and I'm Nanqing's classmate. We bumped into each other once when you had a family dinner in Beijing."
As soon as Shen Moqiu mentioned it, Gu's mother remembered it and said that she must have seen this handsome young man before.
"Haha~ Yes, yes"
"I knew it! Come on in, let's go inside and talk."
The group followed Gu's mother inside. Yang Xu watched Shen Moqiu walking beside Gu's mother, making her laugh, and suddenly felt that he needed to get to know his childhood friend again.
He swore they had known each other for over a decade.
Shen Moqiu had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone before.
Never!!!
"Come, please have a seat. Nanqing is playing in the garden; I'll call her over."
Hearing this, Shen Moqiu stopped Gu's mother, who was about to go to the back garden to call for help, and quickly said:
"Auntie, since Nanqing is playing in the garden, why don't we go to the garden together?"
"By the way, Auntie, these gifts are just a small token of my appreciation. They're nothing expensive, so please accept them."
Shen Moqiu quickly placed the gift bags he was carrying on the living room table. Seeing that the child had already said so much, Gu's mother didn't say anything more. She would just have Nan Qing return the favor with a gift when school started.
"You're so thoughtful, child. Well then, Auntie won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Let's go to the garden first."
"Perfect timing! We're having a barbecue at home today, and Nanqing and her brothers are here too. You young people will definitely have plenty to talk about."
Then Gu's mother turned to look at Lin Bosang and said:
"Bai Sang, why don't you play here today? Tell your mother something."
"If your mother is interested, you can invite her to come along too."
I prepared quite a few things today.
"Many of these are dishes that you and Qingqing like to eat."
"You two are the same. You and Qingqing are classmates, so please don't stand on ceremony at Qingqing's house."
"Treat it like your own home."
Shen Moqiu responded to this much faster than the other two.
Besides.
They were originally one family.
Yang Xu was also somewhat surprised. He had always thought that wealthy people were quite arrogant, but he didn't expect Nan Qing's mother to be so approachable and gentle, without any of the arrogance that wealthy people have towards ordinary people.
No wonder Nanqing was raised so well by such a family.
The group quickly arrived in the garden. Shen Moqiu saw from afar that Nan Qing was wearing a fluffy, warm white knitted dress, with a red cape over it, a red beret on her head, and warm white stockings on her legs. She looked both cute and festive.
At this moment, Nanqing was sitting on a small stool, holding her face in her hands, and seriously directing her third brother to set up a tent.
The winter sun wasn't harsh, but when it shone on Nan Qing, reflecting off her golden hair, she seemed to glow. She was like a goddess who had descended to earth—beautiful, delicate, pure, elegant, and noble, so beautiful that people were hesitant to approach her.
Despite the simplicity of the scene, Shen Moqiu felt he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
