However, thinking of what Zhou Jiyun said about making up for the sleep tomorrow, Xie Jing chuckled. It was really hard to say whether she could make up for the sleep tomorrow.
The lively New Year's Eve dinner lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. Xie Jing paced around the living room, stroking her stomach. Zhou Jiyun looked at her and said, "Shall we go out for a walk to help digest the food?"
Xie Jing waved her hand: "No, it's easy to catch a cold when the temperature is so high. I'll just walk around the living room."
"When I think about eating dumplings again in the evening..."
Cheng Shuying took out some digestive tablets and said, "Just take one or two. Your dad will make you some hawthorn water in the kitchen. You'll feel better after drinking it."
Xie Jing arched her eyebrows at Cheng Shuying: "Thank you, Mom."
Cheng Shuying handed over the warm water and said, "You're so polite. I'll go set up the table. Since there are so many people today, we can put together two mahjong tables."
Xie Jing raised her eyes: "Mahjong?"
She looked at Zhou Jiyun: "Can you?"
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm not very interested in these."
Xie Jing shook her head: "I don't know how to play this kind of board games."
How could Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin teach her these things before? Besides, Xie Jing herself had little interest in it.
Zhou Jiyun: "It's okay, everyone have fun. If you don't know how to play, we can just watch everyone play. Don't we have a violin at home? How about you teach me?"
"I learned some of it, but I've forgotten a lot of it."
Xie Jing became interested: "Okay, I am a very strict teacher."
"Okay, please show some mercy, teacher." Zhou Jiyun chuckled twice, emphasizing the word "teacher." Xie Jing touched her ear and looked at Zhou Jiyun again, wondering if she and Zhou Jiyun had been together for so long that she began to think that way about everything she heard.
Zhou Jiyun just smiled. By the time he got his violin down from the second floor, a mahjong table had already been set up in the living room. Yun Lan, Cheng Shuying, Yun Zhao, and Zhu Li were already at the table.
Li Shu wasn't interested in mahjong; she was sitting with the old man and his wife, watching TV. As for Yun Xu, he was just jokingly chatting away while holding his phone.
Seeing Zhou Jiyun coming down with a violin, Yun Xu's eyes turned: "Mom, let me share a video with you..."
Li Shu saw his eyes kept drifting towards Zhou Jiyun, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Is it the video of Jiyun playing the piano at the annual party? Your grandparents and I have seen it. You have to say, he plays really well."
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time, so I still have many shortcomings."
The old lady smiled and said, "Affection far outweighs skill. If you don't believe me, ask Jingjing. What does she think?"
The old man also turned to look at Xie Jing, his eyes full of amusement. Facing everyone's gaze, Xie Jing did not shy away: "I think it's great. Just like grandma said, affection far exceeds skill."
Even though everyone had seen these two being affectionate, after hearing Xie Jing's words, everyone still exchanged glances. Is this what young people are like? Expressing their affection in public like this?
People back then were so tactful. Even if they really liked someone, they would only take a few sneak peeks. They were nothing like the young people today who stare at someone intently.
Yun Xu sighed. He still had to shoulder the entire responsibility. "So, you two are practicing piano tonight?"
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Jingjing doesn't like these kinds of board games, nor does she like watching TV shows. I was thinking of finding something to do to pass the time. Coincidentally, I learned a musical instrument for a few years before, so it's purely a hobby."
"But I haven't played the violin in years. I need Jingjing to teach me."
If he had a choice, he would not choose to play the violin. He would rather stay in the room with Xie Jing and talk quietly. But everyone was there, and only the two of them were absent, which was obviously not good.
Yun Xu sighed loudly: "Alright, you two go study. Is this studying? This is clearly dog abuse!"
The old lady patted Yun Xu's arm and said, "Is it okay to compare yourself to a dog?"
Yun Xu: "I am just a metaphor, a metaphor."
The balcony of the old house was very spacious, and Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were practicing their violin on it. Zhou Jiyun stood by the window, while Xie Jing sat on a rattan chair on the balcony. After Zhou Jiyun played a short piece, Xie Jing whispered a few words.
If there are any mistakes, Xie Jing will teach Zhou Jiyun step by step. After Yun Xu finished a game, he looked up and saw the two of them, one sitting and the other standing, smiling at each other.
He didn't know why, but he somehow managed to capture this scene. Li Shu took a look and said, "Your grandparents and I were too embarrassed to look over there. They weren't doing anything, but it made us blush."
Yun Xu stared at the photo, while Zhou Jiyun played the violin with his eyes fixed on Xie Jing. His endless affection was all reflected in his eyes.
After staring at it for several seconds, Yun Xu wiped his face and said, "No, I can't be the only one being abused!"
With that, Yun Xu posted the photo to his family group and his friends group. The photo immediately attracted countless lurkers, and of course, the most excited ones were Yun Xu's friends.
"What a wonderful relationship."
"I'm already dizzy from all the pressure to get married, and now this guy is giving me some dog food, Yunxu, this is too much!"
"Honestly, I heard your brother-in-law's business is doing really well. Can you get together sometime?"
"Looking at it this way, the handsome man and beautiful woman are a perfect match."
Yun Xu looked at the comments and grinned proudly, "Isn't she beautiful? Let's get together when we have time. How about the fourth day of the New Year? I'll be busy after the fourth day."
"What are you busy with? The family reunion banquet?"
Yunxu's fingers clattered across the keyboard. "Yeah, it should have been done before the New Year. Jiyun is busy with work. How could Jingjing leave him alone and go back to the capital?"
"Jiyun's family will be coming over on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the two families will have to meet to discuss matters. I guess we won't have time to get together with everyone."
A friend was curious: "What happens after the family recognition banquet?"
Yun Xu: "That's even worse. Jiyun will be working at the company on the eighth day of the new year. They have such a good relationship. Can Jingjing let her husband go back alone? These two are inseparable and can't live without each other."
"Shh, it's so sticky."
"That's right, they have a good relationship." Yun Xu smiled: "So the dinner can only be on the third day of the New Year. On the second day, they will go to grandpa's house with their uncle and aunt to pay New Year's greetings."
"If you really don't have time on the third day of the Lunar New Year, tomorrow will do. We can go out and play on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Yun Xu thought for a moment and typed out the following sentence: "It's a good opportunity to get away and have some peace and quiet tomorrow."
"Okay, let's tell our family right now." The chat group immediately erupted in excitement at the mention of getting some quiet time on the first day of the new year. If they used Yunxu as an excuse, they'd probably be able to escape from home easily tomorrow.
Yun Xu contacted his friends for a while, then looked towards the balcony. Xie Jing was standing there playing the violin, while Zhou Jiyun was holding up his mobile phone to take pictures of Xie Jing.
Yun Xu took a deep breath, and Li Shu slapped him in a scolding manner: "Stop your mischief."
