There was a little snow in the evening, as fine as salt, falling among the lush green bamboos and not yet melted.

Ruan Chu and Ji Linbai took a walk on the gravel road between bamboos under the light of the villa.

Since the variety show ended, Ruan Chuman has been running around in China, going back to school for final exams, filming and participating in activities, while Ji Linbai has been staying in Jincheng. The two have not seen each other for a long time.

But we keep in touch online from time to time.

As one of Ruan Chu's fan leaders, Ji Linbai knows everything about Ruan Chu.

"I didn't expect Dr. Ji to stay in Jincheng for the New Year. I didn't make any preparations. I'm sorry for not entertaining him well enough."

Ruan Chu knew that Ji Linbai was from the Ji family in Beijing.

Ji Linbai: "Chu Chu's cooking is delicious."

Ruan Chu smiled and said casually, "If you like, come to my house often in the future and I will cook for you myself. During dinner, I saw that grandpa had a good chat with you. He should like you very much. I have rarely seen him invite people to his home as guests over the years."

Ji Linbai agreed immediately: "Okay."

Mr. Ruan, who was walking behind with the housekeeper and was actually secretly following them:???

How could Chu Chu tell that he liked the boy named Ji?

If he had known that the netizen was this guy, he would never have invited him to his house.

He talked a lot to that boy, wasn't he afraid that he would expose his true identity in front of Chu Chu? Moreover, didn't that boy hear that Chu Chu was just being polite? He actually agreed immediately?

Later, Mr. Ruan heard that Ji Linbai asked Ruan Chu to go out to see a movie together the next day.

This newly released Lunar New Year movie stars Ruan Chu as the second female lead.

When this movie was being filmed, Ruan Chu's popularity was not as high as the leading female character.

Ji Linbai: "Tickets are hard to get. I waited until midnight that day and only managed to get two."

He was able to grab two consecutive tickets thanks to Su Ye's cheat.

She debuted not long ago and has not starred in many movies. She used to hide her identity without the help of her family, and she only played small supporting roles in movies, but she would go to watch them.

She loves performing and will review her performances from an observer's perspective, draw conclusions and strive for improvement.

When Mr. Ruan heard this, he was jealous. Damn it, he didn't even get a ticket for Chu Chu's movie! The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival.

It was snowing in the early morning and a thin mist covered the entire city.

Yesterday, couplets were posted and red lanterns were hung in the old house of the Ruan family, giving it a festive feel.

Gu Yang's family stayed in the old house for one night. After breakfast, they were about to go back when a black Bentley stopped at the door.

"Dad, our flight was delayed yesterday, so our family only got back this morning and missed out on spending New Year's Eve with you."

The middle-aged man who got out from the passenger seat walked up to Mr. Ruan and apologized.

Gu Yang recognized that this was Ruan Zhiying, Ruan family's eldest uncle who had been living abroad for many years.

Ruan Xueling was dissatisfied with this: "Brother, couldn't you come back a day earlier? You had to come back on New Year's Eve."

Being accused by his younger sister in front of so many younger generations, Ruan Zhiying looked embarrassed: "Business is too busy."

Mr. Ruan said calmly, “Now that you’re back, come into the house first.”

He looked at Ruan Zhihao who got out of the driver's seat, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come home on New Year's Eve?"

Ruan Zhihao got drunk with his friends in a nightclub last night. When he woke up, it was already dawn. He learned that his eldest brother and his family had arrived at the airport, so he took the initiative to drive to pick them up.

What he was thinking was that if the two brothers came back together, there would be more people to be scolded and it would share the firepower.
