If his mother hadn't reminded him, Chu Yang would have completely forgotten that today is the Winter Solstice.
However, he had just unlocked Chen Li and Lou Chunyue, and it was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot, so he thought better of it.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to tell her mom she wasn't going back, Xiaoli muttered, "Ugh, Chu Yang, you stepped on my hair!"
Tang Wenfang on the other end of the phone was taken aback: "You brat, who are you with? It sounds like Xiao Li?"
Chu Yang could only say, "Yes, Mom, I'm with Xiao Li."
"Put it on the bed?" Tang Wenfang asked again.
"Mmm," Chu Yang responded weakly.
Tang Wenfang was silent for two seconds, then sighed deeply: "You really are... sigh, Xiaoli is a good girl, but Shuer and Xiaoyang... what can I say about you!"
She was almost incoherent. Of all these girls, it would be a miracle if even one of them could become her daughter-in-law. Now she had three. She was happy, but also had a headache.
What should we do in the end? We can't just marry them all!
"...Alright, then don't call Shuer and Xiaoyang anymore. Bring Xiaoli back. It's been so long since I've seen her, I've been missing her."
Little Pear had regained some consciousness and asked weakly, "Was that your mother? Did you hear my voice just now?"
Seeing Chu Yang nod, she glanced at Chun Yue, who had also woken up, and then shyly buried herself in the quilt.
Chu Yang said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go back this afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, I heard him say, "I'll take you to my house this afternoon. I've built a new agritainment resort. It's a beautiful place with clear water and lush mountains, and there are lots of small animals. It'll be a lot of fun."
"Us?" Lou Chunyue was taken aback and hesitated, "It's not good for me to go. You can take Xiaoli instead."
"That won't do. Let's go together. Just say you're Xiaoli's cousin, and that our relationship is purely platonic," Chu Yang said with a smile.
I doubt my parents will believe me then, given how absurd things have been all along.
“Yes, Chunyue, let’s go together. I went with Zhou Yang last time,” Xiaoli said.
"...Huh?" Lou Chunyue didn't react for a moment, thinking that Xiao Li and Zhou Yang had already reconciled.
Seeing Chu Yang wink at her, she realized that wasn't the case, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, then I'll come too."
"Then it's settled. I'm going to the restroom and I'll take my clothes to the laundry room to wash and dry them." Chu Yang got up and got out of bed.
"You rascal, get dressed!" Little Pear threw her bathrobe at me.
"I almost forgot." Chu Yang took the clothes and put them on, then went to the toilet to pee, and then took the three people's clothes to the laundry room.
High-end hotels like these usually offer laundry and drying services, which are convenient and quick to use.
Half an hour later, he returned to the room with the washed and dried clothes and found that the two of them seemed to have fallen asleep again.
He didn't disturb them, quietly lay down in the middle, and covered himself with the blanket.
At this moment, Lou Chunyue moved her leg and leaned on him. Suddenly, she stopped and opened her eyes.
I've already sensed the change in him.
Chu Yang met her gaze and smiled, "Don't worry about it, go to sleep."
Lou Chunyue's eyes sparkled, and she gave a charming smile.
Then, silently, he reached under the covers.
On the other side, Xiaoli quietly opened her eyes, curiously lifted the blanket to take a look, and immediately blushed with embarrassment.
Just as he was about to say something, a large hand pressed down on his head.
She struggled slightly, then slipped into the blankets as well.
...
Around noon, the three of them left the hotel, found a restaurant nearby, had lunch, and then drove to the bustling county.
As for why the car could be driven again after being parked overnight, all three of them tacitly refrained from mentioning it.
The car traveled all the way to a bustling county and then headed towards the countryside.
The pastoral scenery on both sides of the road gradually unfolds, with fields and mountains forming a fresh and natural picture under the blue sky and white clouds.
Upon reaching the village entrance, the car turned onto another cement road.
"This road was specially built to lead to our agritainment resort," Chu Yang said.
"I see it, isn't that there?" Xiaoli pointed to the mountainside ahead.
"Yes, it should be almost finished and will be officially open for business soon." Chu Yang slowed down and turned into the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
"Get out of the car." Chu Yang got out of the car first and opened the back door.
Shen Li and Lou Chunyue came down and looked up.
A stone staircase winds its way up, and beside it stands a giant, uniquely shaped welcoming pine tree, still lush and green even in winter.
“Just walk up from here. My parents and grandma live here now,” Chu Yang said.
"Okay, let's go upstairs." Little Pear was very happy and took Chu Yang's hand.
After taking two steps, he stopped, glanced at Lou Chunyue behind him, and then let go.
"If Sister Chunyue can't hold my hand, then I won't either."
What an understanding girl!
Lou Chunyue followed, smiling gently, "It's alright."
"Then let's not hold hands for now." Chu Yang smiled slightly and took the lead on the stone steps.
After climbing the stone steps and entering the gate of the mountain villa, and crossing the wooden bridge, he shouted loudly, "Dad! Mom! I'm back!"
A short while later, Old Chu and Tony Fang came out.
"Xiaoli is here!"
"Come here, come here, Auntie will give you something delicious!"
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt!" Little Pear greeted politely, then added a little shyly, "I didn't bring any gifts for you."
"What are you saying? Your presence is the best gift!" Tony Fang grabbed her hand, looked her up and down, and liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
“Son, who is this…” Old Chu asked hesitantly.
"This is Lou Chunyue, Xiaoli's cousin," Chu Yang said.
"Cousin?" Old Chu and Tony Fang looked at Lou Chunyue.
First, they were stunned by her beauty and figure, and then, as if they had thought of something at the same time, they looked at their eldest son with suspicion in their eyes.
Chu Yang said, both amused and exasperated, "Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"
Old Chu and Tony Fang both snorted at the same time, refraining from asking the question.
Then he called to Chen Li and Lou Chunyue: "Come over here, let's go to the pavilion, have some tea and food."
After sitting down in the pavilion, Old Chu went to prepare the food.
Tony Fang then called Chu Yang aside.
"You brat, how's your relationship with Shu'er and Xiao Yang going lately?"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "It's fine. There was no fighting, and it was very harmonious."
“…” Tony was completely stumped. This brat is really that capable!
After sorting things out for a moment, she said, "I'm so confused for you, but you seem to be enjoying it. I really don't know how to scold you anymore. You absolutely mustn't mess with any other girls, understand?"
Chu Yang nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, I haven't done anything to you. They won't even let me stand in line."
"So, what's your relationship with Xiaoli's cousin?" Tony Fang asked.
"...That's good too. They get along well and don't fight." Chu Yang hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
Tony Fang took a deep breath, her fingers trembling: "You...you...you're really something!"
