"What? The server is down, customers are complaining about food safety, and they all ran across the street?" Mr. Bai was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone to the ground.
It's Chinese New Year, and I was alone at home. I didn't have time to find something to distract myself when I heard these things. I felt so upset...
They thought that what they did could be easily accomplished, but in the end, it became a stepping stone for the other party to move to the next level, which was simply shooting themselves in the foot.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Mr. Bai rubbed his brows and sighed. This time he really lost both the wife and the army. Fortunately, he didn't invest too much money, otherwise he would be so angry that he would die.
"Stop it. No need to invest any more. Find out who the other party is from. Try to cooperate with them if you can. As for the loss, just think of it as a lesson learned."
After this incident, Mr. Bai no longer believed that it was just a food delivery website. The other party who could keep a server of this level running must be no ordinary person. Most importantly, they seemed to have seen through his intentions, so they took the approach of luring him into a trap.
There is no need to think about it. Those food safety reports must have been spread by someone on the other side. The purpose is self-evident. It is nothing more than to use public opinion to give them a warning.
It has to be said that in this crackdown, they were completely defeated and did not even dare to fight back.
This feeling is really frustrating.
"I'm hungry... I wonder how long you can keep jumping around."
Compared to Mr. Bai's depressed mood, Lin Xinyu and his friends were having a great time. They were happily watching the Spring Festival Gala, chatting, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and soon it was twelve o'clock.
The night sky is full of stars tonight, fireworks light up the whole city, and red lanterns are hung on both sides of the streets. Since there is no policy prohibiting the use of fireworks and firecrackers at this time, and we are in the countryside, the sound of fireworks almost covers the entire sky, and the gorgeous colors are amazing. For a moment, I even forgot where I was and the passage of time.
"It's the new year, it's still you, happy new year."
In the past New Year's Day, the little girl was always alone. Sometimes her younger brother would stay at home with her, but Bai Shihan seldom went out. It was never like now, with the whole family together and the person she loved around her.
She couldn't help but reach out and grab Lin Xinyu's sleeve: "I, I like you so much..."
"I know." Lin Xinyu spoke with a deep affection in his voice. He raised his hand and touched her head with a gentle smile, "You are the person I love most in my life."
Looking at the little girl in his arms, Lin Xinyu's eyes became softer and the smile on his lips became brighter.
"I won't grow taller..." Bai Shihan lowered her head, her cheeks slightly hot. She did not stop the other person from stroking her head, but leaned into the other person's arms.
Listening to the roar of fireworks outside the house, hearing the other person's breathing in my ears, feeling the soft body in my arms, a string in my heart seemed to be touched.
This warm atmosphere made him even more reluctant to leave the other person.
"Shihan..."
A low and hoarse voice reached her ears, and Bai Shihan suddenly came back to her senses. She immediately left his arms, her face burning as if it was about to burn: "What, what's wrong?"
Lin Xinyu looked at her with a smile, raised his hand and pinched her red face: "Silly girl."
Bai Shihan was stunned for a moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then she felt a tingling sensation spreading from her neck to her limbs, and her face suddenly turned red as blood.
"Don't think too much." Noticing Bai Shihan's change, Lin Xinyu quickly explained.
"Then, then don't mess around and touch me randomly..." Bai Shihan gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to look up and glare at him.
Seeing her so embarrassed and cute, Lin Xinyu felt something strange in his heart, and couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled: "Okay."
Seeing that he finally stopped messing around, Bai Shihan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to sit back in her seat, she heard Lin Xinyu suddenly say, "Why don't we get engaged next year, huh?"
Bai Shihan stared at him blankly for a long time before she stammered, "Is this true..."
"Yes." Lin Xinyu nodded solemnly, "I want to marry you."
The little girl's face turned even redder and she lowered her head shyly, not knowing what to do. It was not that she didn't want to get married, but she wanted to get married too much, so she didn't know what words to use to express her inner thoughts.
Seeing this, Lin Xinyu couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead: "Not talking? Are you unwilling?"
Hearing this, Bai Shihan waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I am willing to..."
"So we'll get engaged next year?"
"good……"
The two of them had no intention of discussing it with their families at all, because they knew that as long as Bai Chen and the others' goal was achieved, there was no need for any discussion at all, and they would absolutely agree.
"Aren't you afraid they won't agree this time?"
"Don't be afraid, they will agree."
The little girl might have been afraid before, but after seeing Bai Chen and the others chatting happily with Lin Yangjun and the others without any sense of incongruity, Bai Shihan's worries dissipated a lot. She was no longer afraid of her parents' rejection, because she knew very well that it was impossible for them to disagree now.
Since she felt the changes in Bai Chen and the others, the little girl boldly agreed to Lin Xinyu.
After all, they had already decided to get married, and they would be together sooner or later.
In the evening, the two of them drove back to the town house to rest. The only thing they needed to pay attention to was that they had to get up early the next morning to pay New Year's greetings.
According to the local custom, we have to go to grandma's house for dinner on the first day of the first lunar month, and go to grandparents' house on the second day.
Since they are no longer here, we have to go and wish Bai Shihan’s parents a happy new year. As for the rest of the time, we can arrange it ourselves.
"Will you come with me to celebrate the New Year tomorrow, or should I take you home first?"
"Follow, follow..."
Although there was no such custom in her place, Bai Shihan still did not choose to stay at home. She wanted to be bold, so going out with Lin Xinyu to pay New Year's greetings was the best choice. Even though she would be a little scared, she had already prepared herself mentally.
"You need to go to bed early tonight. Come, let me wash your feet first."
Help Bai Shihan sit on the stool in the living room.
“It’s so itchy…”
"Be good, don't move, it will be fine soon."
"Okay." Bai Shihan pursed her lips and retracted her feet.
Seeing this, Lin Xinyu smiled gently, held her ankles and rubbed her feet. He didn't have this hobby before, and he didn't even understand why some people like feet. It was not until he washed the little girl's feet that he slowly understood something.
"You tickled me again..." Bai Shihan felt very aggrieved. She was most afraid of being tickled, especially when Lin Xinyu touched the instep of her feet. She would tremble all over and wanted to jump away.
But every time Lin Xinyu succeeded in teasing her, he would repeat the same trick and continue teasing her, which made her angry and helpless.
"Be good, just bear with it." Lin Xinyu coaxed gently, his movements gentle, for fear of making the other person feel uncomfortable.
Bai Shihan couldn't understand why someone would be interested in feet...
First it was the face, then the hands, then the waist, slowly it turned to the legs, then he started climbing, and now it turned to the feet. It seemed that there was no part of the body that he was not interested in.
After Lin Xinyu washed the little girl's feet, he carried her to the bedroom and put her on the bed.
Looking at the person lying on the bed, Lin Xinyu smiled and leaned over to give her a gentle kiss on the forehead: "Go to bed early."
Bai Shihan blinked her watery eyes and stared at Lin Xinyu who was so close to her. After a while, she stretched out her slender, white arms and wrapped them around his neck.
"Xinyu..."
"Um?"
"I want to kiss..."
"…What is kiss?"
Bai Shihan's face flushed instantly when she heard this: "No, no more."
Seeing her shy look, how could Lin Xinyu miss this opportunity? He immediately held her chin and satisfied the little girl's bold request.
Since ancient times, many people understand the principle of friction generating heat. Even if their clothes fell to the ground for some unknown reason, they still could not feel the cold weather outside. Instead, they were wrapped in warmth, and their hearts were closely attached to each other.
In the dim night, Bai Shihan hugged Lin Xinyu's sturdy waist and fell asleep with her eyes closed, while Lin Xinyu stroked her back again and again, his eyes focused and affectionate...
The next morning, the sun shone into the house through the window, bringing some warmth.
Lin Xinyu opened his eyes and found that his little girl was lying on her side on the bed, revealing her snow-white shoulders and round shoulders.
"woke up?"
After hearing the other party's voice, Bai Shihan stared at him obediently.
Lin Xinyu smiled, leaned over and pecked her attractive rosy lips affectionately, then turned over and got up, dressed neatly, and turned to look at Bai Shihan.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer? I'll just go and pay New Year's greetings."
Hearing this, Bai Shihan quickly shook her head, found the clothes scattered around, and put them on.
It’s new clothes for the New Year. They had already put them on yesterday, New Year’s Eve.
Even in towns, the sound of firecrackers celebrating the New Year can be heard outside the houses, crackling and ringing throughout the sky.
Bai Shihan stood in the middle of the yard holding Lin Xinyu's arm, looking at the flowers in the garden, with a happy and sweet smile on her face.
"When we get old, will we also celebrate the Spring Festival at home like this?" Bai Shihan asked, tilting her head.
"If you want, we can live like this." Lin Xinyu smiled dotingly, reached out and touched the little girl's furry head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Actually... I hope to be with you every year." Bai Shihan held Lin Xinyu's hand tightly, her eyes firm, "If one day you think I'm too troublesome, you must tell me."
"fool."
"No matter what, I won't find you troublesome."
As they talked, they smiled at each other at the same time, then held each other's hands and went to greet the new year.
…
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, do you have any red envelopes or something?" Lin Xinyu first drove to the residence of Lin Yangjun and others, and after knocking on the door, he began to ask for red envelopes.
"How old are you? You're still giving me red envelopes. Where's Shihan? Come here, Shihan, this is a red envelope for you."
Of course, there would be no favoritism, and Li Zixuan gave her red envelope to Lin Xinyu.
"I knew that my mother is still good to me." After putting away the red envelope, Lin Xinyu pulled Bai Shihan into the house.
"Happy New Year, Grandma!"
Throughout the whole process, Bai Shihan just followed Lin Xinyu's calls. She just called out whatever Lin Xinyu called out, and she had no idea that there was anything wrong.
However, Lin Yangjun and the others did not think there was anything inappropriate about it and accepted the title with a smile.
When the grandmother saw the little girl coming over, she was also very happy and took out a red envelope and stuffed it into her hand: "Here, take it, this is the New Year's money that grandma gives you."
"Thank you, grandma!" Bai Shihan accepted it happily and called out sweetly.
"So good."
Lin Xinyu was standing aside, watching the little girl integrate into the role so quickly, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He had never seen Bai Shihan like this before.
Unlike usual, now she is like a good daughter-in-law, following Lin Xinyu throughout the whole process, especially when paying New Year's greetings. No matter if it is someone she knows or not, as long as Lin Xinyu greets her, she will follow suit.
When she came back at noon, the little girl finally felt relieved.
"Is it fun to pay New Year's greetings? Have you never paid New Year's greetings before?"
Bai Shihan shook her head.
Every Chinese New Year, she stayed at home alone and never went anywhere. She even asked Aunt Song to prepare and send meals to her. She ate and then slept, and then slept and ate. It was very simple.
"Then you will be miserable from now on. You will have to follow me around to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year."
"Okay~"
What surprised Lin Xinyu was that Bai Shihan actually agreed to his request, and agreed so readily without any hesitation.
"Let's go to your parents' house tomorrow, and then come back to spend our own time together after paying New Year's greetings."
Bai Shihan: "Okay~"
In the evening, not long after the two returned to the room, the cell phone rang, and the caller was Bai Wenjie.
It should be said that Lin Xinyu originally wanted him to come over, but the other party was no longer like a child. He said that he should do what a man should do and take good care of the person he loves, so even during the New Year, he still chose to stay with Sister Wenxue at school.
"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year. My sister should be beside you, so I won't call my sister. Let's say it together."
Bai Wenjie's childish voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Xinyu curled his lips and responded in a low voice: "Well, okay."
"My dad and the others shouldn't be mad at me, right? If I'm in a good mood, I'll call him later. If I'm not, I'll call him later."
"They are all very good." Lin Xinyu paused and continued, "When are you going to confront them?"
"Let's keep it a secret for a while. They definitely won't let me date now. My sister doesn't listen to them in the first place. If I go again, they might catch me and beat me up."
"Work hard and make money. When you are strong enough, they will definitely leave you alone."
Just like him now, when Bai Chen understood the development of the website, he had successfully changed the title of bad boy to a good son-in-law.
What is face-changing? This is it, the main point is the truth.
