Yan Luo gently picked up Tu Luoxue, and Lu Jiajing also got up and followed them upstairs.
Tu Luoxue was placed on the bed, and Lu Jiajing climbed onto the bed and lay down next to her, covering her with a blanket.
Yan Luo stood by the bed and pressed the switch on the night light. The warm yellow light was soft and not glaring. He leaned down and kissed Tu Luoxue's forehead, then patted Lu Jiajing's head.
Goodnight, Jing'er.
Lu Jiajing glanced at Tu Luoxue secretly, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled at Yan Luo, saying, "Goodnight, brother."
Yanluo nodded, turned and walked to the door, turned off the room light and gently closed the door.
Only the small yellow nightlight by the bedside remained in the room. Lu Jiajing held Tu Luoxue in her arms, slowly leaned closer, and gently placed a kiss on the spot where Yan Luo had just kissed Tu Luoxue.
Her face was flushed. After turning off the nightlight, Lu Jiajing gently said "Goodnight" to Tu Luoxue, then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Yan Luo walked back downstairs. The little golden-haired girl and the little pink-haired girl were having a 1v1 battle. He sat in the middle seat that the girls had made for him. Seeing that Man Sui was at a disadvantage, he immediately took over the phone and became an off-field cheat.
Just as Tu Ke was about to defeat three opponents, Yan Luo turned the tables and became so angry that she grabbed Yan Luo by the neck and shook her for a while.
"Cheating, cheating, this is blatant cheating."
Yanluo and Mansui stood on the same side and looked down on Tu Keke. Yanluo said with a smile, "What kind of hero bullies a little fox? There are ten lotus flowers in the pond, and you pick nine of them."
Hongwen Tu Keke rolled up Yanluo's sleeve and bit his forearm. Yanluo hugged her like a kitten.
"Why are you so upset, my Coco baby?"
Tu Keke realized that Yan Luo wasn't in any pain, so she reluctantly let go and punched Yan Luo's thigh.
Man Sui leaned on Yan Luo's arm and giggled.
Yanluo pinched Tu Keke's cheek and patted Mansui's head, saying, "You must be tired from playing today, go to sleep early."
Tu Keke lay on Yan Luo's lap and shook her head, "I can fight another three hundred rounds."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt sleepy and yawned. Yanluo kissed Tu Keke on the forehead.
"Alright, go to sleep now. You'll have plenty of time to play."
Man Sui tugged at Yan Luo's sleeve. Yan Luo turned her head and looked at Man Sui, who had already closed her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then leaned in to kiss the little pink-haired girl's cheek.
Yan Luo sent the two young girls to bed, and the living room fell silent. He instantly appeared at the door of Su Qing's room, knocked, and entered after receiving permission.
The four of them were still busy knitting scarves when Yanluo arrived. Su Qing beckoned Yanluo over, and when Yanluo walked up to Su Qing, he saw a very festive red scarf placed next to her.
Su Qing picked it up and said with a smile, "We each knitted a little bit, as a New Year's gift for Ayan in advance."
Yan Luo was very touched. At Su Qing's prompting, he bent down and the scarf was wrapped around his neck.
"How are you feeling?" Su Qing asked Yan Luo.
Seeing the expectation in the eyes of the four lovers, Yanluo suddenly blushed and turned his head away.
"I really like it."
Chi Miaomiao chuckled, leaned closer to Yan Luo, and poked his chest with her index finger.
"Oh, is your brother shy?"
Yan Luo vehemently denied it, but seeing the smiles on the faces of her lovers, she sighed and stopped trying to argue.
Are you hungry?
Dinner was eaten quite early, and it's almost midnight now, so Yanluo asked.
Su Qing and the others were a little hungry, so Yan Luo went downstairs to make them a late-night snack.
At two o'clock in the morning, Yanluo still couldn't fall asleep. He tried hard to close his eyes and sleep, but no matter what he did, he just couldn't fall asleep. Somewhat distressed, Yanluo covered the sleeping Chi Miaomiao with a blanket.
He quietly got up and left the room. After running water in the bathroom, Yanluo went downstairs.
The lights in the living room on the first floor were on, and Yan Luo found Tu Xingzheng sitting alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the photo wall.
"Uncle, are you also having trouble sleeping?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Tu Xing turned around and saw Yan Luo with her red hair loose.
Tu Xing smiled and gestured for Yan Luo to sit down.
"I woke up after a nap. How about we have a drink, just the two of us?"
Faced with Tu Xing's suggestion, Yan Luo smiled and nodded. Tu Xing made a phone call, and in less than twenty minutes, a burly man in a black suit arrived at the door carrying two large bags.
Tu Xing took the bag, patted the burly man on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After seeing the man off, Tu Xing returned to the living room carrying two bags. One bag contained a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the other bag contained two plates of snacks to accompany the liquor: a plate of braised dishes and a plate of roast goose.
The clinking of wine glasses was crisp and clear, and Yanluo and Tuxing were enjoying their drinks.
After downing two glasses of baijiu, Tu Xing remained expressionless, but a wave of bitterness welled up inside him. Yan Luo noticed that something was wrong with Tu Xing.
"uncle?"
Tu Xing quickly wiped his eyes and grinned, "It's been a while since I've had a drink, the liquor is quite strong."
Some time ago, Tu Xing not only quit smoking, but also quit drinking.
He wanted to live a long time, to see his eldest and second granddaughters get married happily, and to see his youngest granddaughter grow up healthy and happy.
But Tu Xing often wondered why God was treating him and the children this way, since he had never done anything heinous in his life.
Unable to release his inner turmoil, Tu Xing could only immerse himself in his work, using it to numb himself and stop overthinking.
Watching his granddaughters playing happily today, Tu Xing was filled with mixed emotions.
This woke him up, even though he rarely woke up in the middle of the night.
Tu Xing took another sip of wine, the spicy taste making him cough a few times.
Yan Luo quickly transferred some pure qi to help Tu Xing calm down.
Tu Xing took out a tissue and wiped his wet eyes. Yan Luo patted his back and said, "Drink slowly, Uncle."
Tu Xing nodded. He was completely different from the upright old man he had been that morning. Sitting on the sofa, Tu Xing was hunched over, and all the awe-inspiring presence he had once possessed was gone.
The elderly man with gray hair stared at the wedding photo of his son and daughter-in-law on the wall with a somber look in his eyes.
"Xiao Luo, your sister is a very outstanding girl. It's truly a blessing from her ancestors that she was able to marry Xiao Yi."
Yanlu poured wine into her and Tu Xing's empty cups, listening to Tu Xing pour out his long-suppressed feelings.
“Xiao Yi is also a very outstanding child. I am proud to be his son. He is more capable than his father, contributes to the country, and is just as capable as his grandfather!”
Tu Xing couldn't help but shed tears.
"Heaven is blind! Yi'er is so young, how can she not have a father and mother, leaving me and her grandmother to bury our child?"
