"Hello?"
Wang Luqi's voice came from the other end of the phone. Hearing Wang Luqi's voice, Du Chen felt a little better.
"Qiqi, it's me!"
Du Chen said to the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, I recognize your voice!"
Wang Luqi said happily, her voice revealing ease and joy.
"What do you do every day?"
When Du Chen heard Wang Luqi's happy expression, his mood also improved.
"Nothing much, just reading at home, spending time with my parents, and occasionally going out to chat with my old classmates."
The two haven't seen each other for almost half a month. They usually just contact each other by phone. Every time Wang Luqi receives a call from Du Chen, she always feels very happy.
"Qiqi, are you free tomorrow?"
Du Chen hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"I have time. Why, do you want to play with me?"
Wang Luqi's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. She hadn't seen Du Chen for half a month, and she really missed Du Chen.
"Not going out to play."
Du Chen paused for a moment, then couldn't help but reflect on whether he had neglected Wang Luqi recently. Wang Luqi was surprisingly so happy to hear that they were going to meet up and go out and play.
"oh……"
Wang Luqi's slightly lost voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then what do you do when you ask me if I'm busy?"
Wang Luqi calmed herself down and couldn't help but ask Du Chen.
"Well, I'm going to your house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year!"
Du Chen gritted his teeth and told everyone his plans for tomorrow.
"Happy New Year?!"
Wang Luqi asked Du Chen in surprise.
"Is it inconvenient? If it's inconvenient..."
"That's convenient! My parents will be here tomorrow, so just come over!"
Wang Luqi interrupted Du Chen before he could finish. Obviously, Wang Luqi knew Du Chen very well and knew that if she hesitated any longer, Du Chen would definitely take the opportunity to say let's do it another time. And considering Wang Luqi's intelligence, she had obviously guessed that there was another hidden reason why Du Chen came to pay New Year's greetings.
"Haha, really? Then I'll go there tomorrow!"
Du Chen laughed dryly twice, then said resignedly.
"Okay, what time are you coming over? You're finally home for dinner, right?"
Wang Luqi couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Du Chen's dry laughter. She was now even more certain that Du Chen must have come to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow with the instigation of someone else.
"Is it not certain about eating? I guess we'll go there around ten in the morning?"
Du Chen was not sure whether he would have lunch at Wang Luqi's house tomorrow. He would just wait and see.
"Qiqi, um, there's one more thing..."
When Du Chen said this, he couldn't help but want to punch himself. Isn't this just asking for trouble and digging a hole for himself?
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Wang Luqi asked Du Chen in a cheerful tone.
"There will be someone else going with me tomorrow..."
"Uncle and aunt? Isn't it too fast?"
Wang Luqi couldn't help but ask Du Chen, her face flushing with embarrassment. She asked him why he was so hesitant today. Did his parents come over? Although she had met uncles and aunts many times before, the shy thoughts in her head still made her blush and sweat began to form on her forehead.
"Well, I would also welcome uncle and aunt to come, but I'm not ready yet, and I guess my parents aren't ready either!"
Wang Luqi couldn't help but say to Du Chen again.
"Qiqi, you misunderstood. It wasn't my parents who went there..."
Du Chen couldn't help but grin silently when he heard Wang Luqi's shy voice on the other end of the phone. He didn't dare to laugh out loud, and then explained to Wang Luqi seriously.
"Sister Miaomiao and my brother are planning to come together. Sister Miaomiao hasn't seen you since she got engaged!"
"Sister Miaomiao, are you coming over? That's great!"
Wang Luqi said to Du Chen in surprise, feeling secretly relieved, but also a little disappointed for some reason.
"Well, Sister Miaomiao happens to be free these days, so I'd like to sit down and chat with you!"
Du Chen didn't dare say that it was his own trick that caused Ding Miaomiao and Du Bin to come over. He didn't want to be laughed at by Wang Luqi, because in Wang Luqi's inherent impression, he has always been a strategist with a high IQ. If he said that it was because of his mistake that caused Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao to come to visit because they had nothing to do, he would be laughed at by Wang Luqi.
But Du Chen completely forgot that Wang Luqi and Ding Miaomiao grew up together. Especially with Du Bin waiting to watch the fun, it was believed that Wang Luqi would find out about this matter soon...
"It's a deal then. I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow!"
Wang Luqi said to Du Chen with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call you before I leave!"
………………………………
Early the next morning, Du Chen was pulled out of bed by Comrade Lao Du.
"Second brother, get up, it's already past eight o'clock, it's getting late!"
Looking at Comrade Old Du with shining eyes, Du Chen got up helplessly and walked towards the bathroom. It was the first time he saw his father so excited. When he arrived in the living room, he saw Du Bin sitting at the dining table in a respectable manner, with the same excitement on his face.
"Chenchen, hurry up, we're waiting for you! Miaomiao is ready too!"
Du Bin and his companions were just there to watch the fun and couldn't wait any longer. Du Chen looked at their performance, shook his head helplessly, and then walked into the bathroom.
After taking care of all the cleaning, it was already past half past eight. Du Chen returned to the living room and saw that the dining table was empty.
"Mom, where's breakfast?"
Du Chen asked Ms. Ren Surong who was standing beside him.
"Breakfast? No!"
"Huh? Mom, you didn't make breakfast today?"
Du Chen asked his mother puzzledly.
"No, aren't you going to Qiqi's house? Wait until noon to eat the lunch your mother-in-law made! If you had breakfast in the morning and can't eat lunch at noon, people will think you are dissatisfied!"
"Ha ha……"
Du Bin was amused by Ms. Ren Surong's words, but then he covered his mouth and looked at Du Chen.
“…”
Du Chen was too tired to complain. Why was everyone so happy, while he alone felt the deep malice of the world...
"I'm leaving, I won't be back for dinner tonight!"
Du Chen walked quickly to the gate and spoke to Comrade Lao Du and others in a huff.
"Sure, I don't have to cook at night! You don't have to come back to sleep at night, it's even better if your future mother-in-law is willing to let you stay overnight!"
Ren Surong's words made Du Chen, who was just about to go out, trip and fall. He was only eighteen years old, or nineteen in age. Was it really okay for his mother to say that?
