Chapter 65 Extra Chapter 2: New Year
After the engagement, Su Tangtang often stayed overnight at Huo Yizhou's place. Su's parents had something to say, but ultimately didn't say it. After all, the two were already engaged, and they could only turn a blind eye and let the young people do as they pleased.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is here.
The whole city was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and every household was bustling with activity.
Su Tangtang's family had also put up Spring Festival couplets early on, creating a festive atmosphere.
“Let’s make dumplings together,” Su Tangtang suggested enthusiastically.
Su's parents nodded with smiles, but Su Tanghao, who was standing to the side, got up to slip away, only to be grabbed by Su Tangtang. "Brother, are you trying to run away?"
Su Tanghao stubbornly insisted, "No, I just wanted to go to the restroom."
Su Tangtang snorted, "I'd never believe you."
In the end, Su Tanghao was "escorted" back to join the dumpling-making team.
They prepared several kinds of fillings, including chives and pork, and mushrooms and cabbage. The family sat together, chatting and laughing, their hands busy at work.
As evening fell, firecrackers echoed throughout the city, making the New Year atmosphere even more festive.
The Su family reunion dinner was exceptionally lively, with both uncles and aunts in attendance.
After dinner, everyone went to the yard to set off fireworks. Su Tanghao had prepared many kinds, and clusters of fireworks rose into the sky one after another, blooming brilliantly in the night. That moment was truly beautiful, so beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" Su Tangtang looked up at the dazzling sky.
"But I think you are more beautiful."
Upon hearing the voice, Su Tangtang turned around in surprise and saw Huo Yizhou standing behind her.
"Why are you here?" Her eyes sparkled.
"I've come to spend New Year's Eve with you," Huo Yizhou said as he approached and naturally put his arm around her waist.
"Aren't you going to stay with Grandpa?"
"He has many grandsons, he won't miss one more."
Su Tangtang burst out laughing.
The two watched the fireworks side by side for a while. Su Tanghao then brought out a box of sparklers. Su Tangtang took a few with great interest, and Huo Yizhou also took them.
"Brother, take a picture for us!" Su Tangtang pulled Huo Yizhou to stand still, each holding a lit sparkler. Amidst the sparkling light, she smiled especially brightly.
Su Tanghao pressed the shutter, freezing the light and shadow in that moment, and then took several more shots.
Su Tangtang chose the one she was most satisfied with and posted it on Weibo.
Soon, tens of thousands of well wishes flooded the comments section. Looking at the screen full of heartwarming words, a smile remained on her face.
As midnight approached, the night sky was illuminated by fireworks as if it were daytime. Amidst the countdown, the old year gave way to the new, and cheers of "Happy New Year!" echoed through the night.
Su Tangtang subconsciously looked at Huo Yizhou beside her.
As if by telepathy, he happened to look down, and their eyes met, revealing an undisguised smile.
He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
Su Tanghao, whose neck was sore from exercising, looked down and happened to see this scene, and exclaimed "Eh!" in disgust.
Su's mother, who was standing next to her, laughed and said, "Envious? If you are, then hurry up and find someone yourself. Right now, you're the only one in the whole family who's single."
Su Tanghao shrugged. "Being single is great, it's so liberating."

That night, Huo Yizhou stayed at the Su family's house.
Su's mother did not prepare a special guest room for him. Since the two of them were already living together, doing so would only make them seem distant.
As soon as he entered Su Tangtang's room, Huo Yizhou pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply...
Their passionate encounter lasted until 3 a.m.
After washing up, the two embraced and lay back down on the bed.
Huo Yizhou gently held her hand and whispered, "Tangtang, I love you."
After saying that, he took a ring from under the pillow and gently slipped it onto her finger.
They already had matching rings when they got engaged, but they took them off while washing up.
I never expected that my fingertips would receive a new promise so soon after I took them off.
"Why didn't you give it to me earlier?" Su Tangtang asked, admiring the sparkle on her finger.
Huo Yizhou was slightly taken aback, then replied with a smile, "I was so happy being with you that I forgot."
Su Tangtang clicked her tongue lightly, looked up and kissed him on the cheek, "So handsome."
“Not as good-looking as you,” he said, his gaze deep and his tone so gentle it sent shivers down your spine.
Su Tangtang's cheeks flushed.
Before she could respond, his kiss landed again.
The two, who had just finished washing up, had no choice but to take another bath together late at night.
