Chapter 127 Prayer
Ye Qian didn’t know where Gu Jinyan got the confidence to think that the two of them could stay at home for several days.
Ye Qian didn't know that Gu Jinyan said this just to save face, and Gu Jinyan was also very excited about the Chinese New Year. Since his grandparents passed away, he hadn't had anyone to celebrate the New Year with him for many years.
Especially since Ye Qian was with me this year, I accidentally got a little too excited.
The next day.
It was indeed a busy day today. Ye Qian asked Gu Jinyan to chop up some of the pork belly that she brought back yesterday. Ye Qian is from the south, and fried meatballs are a must-have during the Chinese New Year in the south. Gu Jinyan is from the north, and dumplings are eaten during the Chinese New Year. Ye Qian was also preparing the dumpling filling.
The two of them worked for the whole morning to prepare the ingredients. After having a quick meal at noon, Gu Jinyan sat in the living room making dumplings in the afternoon, while Ye Qian was in the kitchen frying meatballs.
A small pot of dumplings was fried in about an hour. Ye Qian liked fried dumplings and since there was still some hot oil, she threw a few dumplings in and started frying them.
Ye Qian had never eaten fried dumplings like this before. She fried several and tried them. She liked the taste very much. She turned around and let Gu Jinyan try them as well. He also thought the taste was pretty good, so she fried some more. Ye Qian also smuggled some in her space so that she could eat them directly whenever she wanted.
Ye Qian had finished everything, and Gu Jinyan had also wrapped the dumplings. Although the winter in the south could not be used as a refrigerator like in the north, it was still possible to freeze the dumplings. Ye Qian placed the wrapped dumplings directly in the yard.
The two of them didn't prepare much food, so it was wasted if they couldn't finish it. After being busy for a while, they ended up having some free time.
The two sat and chatted for a while. Gu Jinyan suggested going to the movies, but Ye Qian didn't really want to. She had been there once with Gu Jinyan before, and Ye Qian really didn't like the content of those movies.
The two chatted casually, and Ye Qian fell asleep on Gu Jinyan's shoulder after a while. Gu Jinyan smiled when he saw Ye Qian sleeping, and then closed his eyes.
She slept until after 7 o'clock in the evening. When Ye Qian woke up, she was still a little groggy. After sitting for a while, she found that Gu Jinyan was still asleep, so she got up and went to the kitchen.
While he was cleaning up the dishes, Gu Jinyan woke up and found that Ye Qian was no longer around. He immediately got up and went to the kitchen.
It’s already dark, Ye Qian must be going to cook.
Ye Qian was kneading dough in the kitchen. She really wanted to eat lasagna, but what could she do? She could only make it herself, but it was not sold there now.
While she was kneading the dough, Gu Jinyan appeared at the kitchen door. Ye Qian asked, "Are you awake?"
Gu Jinyan hummed, then said, "I'll start the fire."
In fact, daily life is very ordinary, but not everyone can enjoy this kind of ordinary life. Two lonely people come together and cherish the ordinary happiness they have now, for fear that if they are not careful, such days will leave them again.
The next day.
Today is Chinese New Year.
Ye Qian got up early. She couldn't stay in bed during the New Year. She had to wish Gu Jinyan a happy new year today, but she didn't know if she would get a red envelope.
Ye Qian happily went to knock on Gu Jinyan's door. Just as she opened her own door, she saw Gu Jinyan also opened his door. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if they saw into each other's hearts. They smiled at each other. Yes, everything was such a coincidence.
Gu Jinyan turned around and locked his door. Seeing him coming over, Ye Qian said to Gu Jinyan, "Happy New Year, and may you prosper and become rich."
After saying that, she stretched out her hands and placed them in front of Gu Jinyan. Gu Jinyan smiled and placed the red envelope he had prepared in advance in Ye Qian's hands.
Ye Qian's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that Gu Jinyan had really prepared a red envelope for her. She stuffed the red envelope into her pocket with a smile on her face, turned around, hugged Gu Jinyan's arm and walked into the yard.
After breakfast, Gu Jinyan took Ye Qian out. The two of them strolled around and played, had lunch at a state-owned restaurant, and came back to cook for themselves in the evening.
Today is Chinese New Year, and we must have the New Year's Eve dinner. Ye Qian took out the things she had prepared yesterday. She fried the meatballs with black fungus and carrot slices, and boiled the dumplings directly. She added a braised fish and a few side dishes, and the New Year's Eve dinner was complete.
After the two finished their meal, Ye Qian went upstairs to take down the cream cake she had prepared.
Gu Jinyan saw the cream cake that Ye Qian took down, and said to Ye Qian, "Do you remember last year, when you stuffed the cake into my hand and ran away?"
Ye Qian wanted to roll her eyes: "Of course I remember. When I looked up, I saw you standing in front of me. I was scared."
Gu Jinyan asked, "I didn't say anything, how could I scare you?"
Ye Qian pouted: "You were so cold to me back then, and you wanted to stay away from me as soon as you saw me. Besides, we bumped into each other several times that day. How could I not be scared?"
Gu Jinyan thought about it for a while, and it was true. There was a time when he was afraid of being dominated by Ye Qian, and he was afraid that she would appear next to him and throw things on him again.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinyan became interested and asked, "You didn't spill the food on me on purpose, did you?"
Ye Qian naturally didn't know that Gu Jinyan still remembered this incident, so she immediately swore to Gu Jinyan, "I swear to God, I definitely didn't mean to do it. I didn't even see you at the time. It was really because the ground was too slippery that I splashed all over you."
Seeing Ye Qian's serious expression, Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."
After that, the two of them started eating the cake. Ye Qian prepared a palm-sized cream cake, the same one she gave to Gu Jinyan last year.
Gu Jinyan really loves sweets, and he finished the cake in just a few bites. Ye Qian gave him her portion, and after eating it, he smacked his lips to savor the taste.
Ye Qian couldn't bear to watch. Why did this person love sweets so much?
After Gu Jinyan washed the dishes, the two of them rested.
Ye Qian didn't think she would stay here every day, but she also didn't think she would stay outside every day.
Yes, every morning after breakfast, Gu Jinyan would take Ye Qian out to play with her from morning until dinner time.
After touring all of Han City in just a few days, Ye Qian went straight to the sofa after returning home today. She was so tired that she prayed in her heart that she would go to work quickly so that she could have some rest.
Gu Jinyan saw Ye Qian lying on the sofa and said, "Don't you girls love to go shopping and have fun? You won't get tired even if you walk all day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qian immediately sat up straight and asked, "Which girl likes to go shopping, and which girl doesn't feel tired after walking for a whole day?"
