Chapter 185 I Want to See You Sooner
Hearing what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning slowly said, "Pick me up?"
Gu Huaichen: “Yeah.”
Lin Youning was stunned, then responded: "You are not worried that I will get lost."
That's one way, she's not that stupid.
Gu Huaichen: “No.”
He walked to her side and took her hand, "I just wanted to see you earlier."
Lin Youning's breathing stagnated slightly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "...Oh."
She suppressed the corners of her lips that wanted to rise, tilted her head to look at him, and teased, "Boss Gu."
"Um?"
"Have you enrolled in a class somewhere?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He didn't react at first, but when he met Lin Youning's smiling eyes, he finally understood what she meant. He smiled, hooked her finger and said, "I learned it by myself."
Lin Youning: “I see.”
It turns out that men can really learn love to this extent without any guidance.
Lin Youning thought about it and felt very happy.
She held back, but couldn't help turning her head to look at him, "I want to kiss you."
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows and bent down cooperatively.
Lin Youning was not shy either. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
When Gu Huaichen was about to respond, Lin Youning stepped back at the right time, "...Just kiss once, we still have to go to Grandpa's place."
"..." After failing to kiss her, Gu Huaichen sighed softly, "Okay, I'll kiss her later."
Lin Youning's ears felt slightly hot and he couldn't help laughing.
The two returned to the place where they went fishing. Lin Youning took a look and found that there were actually a few fish in the bucket.
She asked curiously, "Who caught it?"
"Grandpa." Gu Huaichen said.
Lin Youning glanced sideways, "You didn't catch any fish?"
Gu Huaichen hooked her finger and said in a low voice, "I have already caught a big fish this year."
Lin Youning: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Gu Huaichen, what you said is a bit impolite."
Is she a fish?
Besides, he hadn't caught her.
Gu Huaichen chuckled and consoled her, "What I mean is, you are enough for me this year. I don't need these fish."
Lin Youning choked slightly and wanted to refute, but couldn't find any convincing words to refute.
Lin Youning was speechless and could only follow him.
We fished until half past eleven before heading home.
Gu Huaichen carried the fish bucket in one hand and Lin Youning in the other. After returning home and handing the fish to the kitchen, the two went to the yard to bask in the sun.
After lunch, Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen were assigned to post couplets at the door.
This is the traditional custom of the Gu family. The younger generation should post the couplets. Before, it was Gu Huaichen and his father together, but now with Lin Youning, it has become Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen together.
After pasting the couplets, Gu Huaichen also hung lanterns on both sides of the gate. The servants also hung lanterns on the trees in the yard, bright red, connected together, very beautiful, and full of the atmosphere of the New Year.
In addition to couplets and lanterns, the two also helped with a lot of trivial things.
It had been a long time since Lin Youning felt such a strong New Year atmosphere, so even though she was tired and clumsy, she was still very happy.
It wasn't until about three in the afternoon that everything was finally done.
After a short break, Miss Ji asked Lin Youning if she wanted to make dumplings with her.
Lin Youning said yes.
Gu Huaichen also came to join in the fun. In previous years, Gu Huaichen did not participate in the dumpling-making activity.
Seeing him coming over, Gu Huaichen's distant aunt jokingly said, "Why did Huaichen join us this year?"
Ji Nutu: "Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? He joined us because Ning Ning also joined us."
"Hey, I didn't realize before that Huaichen is so clingy."
"He didn't have anyone sticking to him before."
“…”
Listening to the elders joking with each other, Lin Youning felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Gu Huaichen is quite thick-skinned. He chatted with the elders naturally and didn't mind at all that people said he was clingy. He even felt proud of it.
There were many people, so the dumplings were made quickly.
After the dumplings were wrapped, there was really nothing else to do. Lin Youning and the others only had to wait for the reunion dinner to start.
Gu Huaichen took her back to the room to rest.
"Are you tired?"
Lin Youning lay on the sofa, thought for a moment and said, "I am a little tired, but I am happier than tired."
Gu Huaichen smiled.
Lin Youning raised her eyes and said, "I never thought that this is how the Gu family celebrates the New Year."
Very normal and ordinary, not at all like those wealthy families.
Some families would order the reunion dinner at the hotel during the Chinese New Year and wait for it to be delivered to their home at night. Some... before Lin Youning's family, it was all done by the maid and Zhao Tinglan.
Lin Mingqi would never interfere, he would not even enter the kitchen.
Sometimes when Lin Youning wanted to help, Zhao Tinglan would tell her to go and have fun by herself because they didn't need her.
Over time, Lin Youning stopped participating in any activities.
Gu Huaichen nodded, understanding what she meant.
He squatted beside her and looked at her with his eyes downcast. "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Lin Youning said frankly, "I really like this kind of New Year atmosphere."
Busy, but happy.
Gu Huaichen smiled, lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead, and said in a slow voice, "It will be like this every year from now on."
Lin Youning agreed with a smile.
After resting in the room for a while, Lin Youning called Zhao Tinglan. She was not going home for dinner tonight, but she also wanted to ask about Zhao Tinglan's situation.
"Mom," Lin Youning waited for a long time until Zhao Tinglan answered the phone, "Are you busy?"
Zhao Tinglan hummed, sounding a little flustered, "I'm busy, what's wrong?"
Lin Youning paused, pursed her lips and looked out the window, "Nothing much, it's New Year, I want to wish you a Happy New Year."
Zhao Tinglan smiled and said, "Happy New Year."
She was silent for a moment, "Ningning, in the new year, you must be happier than the previous year."
"I will," Lin Youning agreed, and suddenly asked, "What about you?"
Zhao Tinglan: "Me what?"
She smiled and replied to Lin Youning, "If you are happy, I am happy."
Lin Youning opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless.
That's not what she meant, and she thought Zhao Tinglan also understood what she meant. But she refused to respond directly to her, and she had no choice.
After a moment of silence, Lin Youning said helplessly, "It's nothing, just take care of yourself."
Zhao Tinglan: “I know.”
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Youning couldn't help but ask, "Has he gone home?"
"...I'll be back later." Zhao Tinglan said, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Lin Youning: “…”
