Lu Xiao returned with a confused look on his face.
Ye Cheng put the nameplate on him and went in without looking back.
He was puzzled and touched the sign, but he still couldn’t figure it out until he was two feet tall.
When it arrived, Jiang Jin sent him a message: [Brother Xiao, how are you, are you satisfied with the arrangement today? 】
He didn’t immediately reply back, but Lu Xiao wanted to slap him.
He said: [Satisfied ass, who told you to put flowers in the Ferris wheel? 】
Jiang Jin: [I saw you holding hands above, eh? Um? 】
After Jiang Yirong’s one-day ideological education and secret observation, he found that Lu Xiao’s attitude towards Ye Cheng was indeed different.
Tan Xiaoqi didn’t lie to him, it looks like… it’s true.
Jiang Jin grew up in a studio, and he has come into contact with many friends, so his reaction to this kind of thing is normal.
There was silence for a moment, then he said: [By the way, I want to ask you something. 】
Jiang Jin: [I have loved .jpg]]
Suspect X: [Shut up. 】
Suspect X: [If someone gives you his nameplate, what does that mean? 】
Lu Xiao vaguely remembered that when he was a freshman in high school, someone also put the nameplate on his seat.
At that time, he thought that someone had fallen. He threw it to the podium casually and went to ask someone to claim it.
Jiang Jin’s reaction was huge: [Fuck. Fuck, Brother Cheng gave you his nameplate? 】
Suspect X: [How do you know it’s him? 】
Jiang Jin: [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! ! 】
Jiang Jin: [Ah ah ah ah! ! 】
Suspect X: […]
Suspect X: [What the hell are you calling? 】
Jiang Jin: [[Big cry.jpg] Woohoo, Xiao brother, I’m cheering for you, happy for you. 】
Suspect X: [? ? ? 】
Jiang Jin: [Didn’t you notice that I’m still wearing the Rong Rong’s nameplate today. 】
Lu Xiao saw it, but he thought it was Jiang Jin being himself, and wondered if this was a trend, casual clothes with nameplates.
Suspect X: [Wow, so? 】
J
iang Jin: [so this is the meaning of “I like you”, giving someone a nameplate = confessing to someone. 】
Jiang Jin: [He also likes you, Brother Xiao. 】
Lu Xiao had read this line ten times.
Although it was all Chinese characters, he found it extremely confusing.
Until he understood it for a moment, his whole head buzzed.
——It means, Ye Cheng gave him the nameplate, and Ye Cheng likes him too!
He blinked, and the pink bubbles quickly popped out, rushing from his chest all the way to his throat, drowning his entire being.
His heart was pounding like fireworks, he just wanted to jump up and shout a few times, his chest heaving up and down.
After five minutes, he typed with trembling fingers: [Really? No, it’s not a mistake, right? 】
Jiang Jin is very sure: [It’s not a mistake, just waiting for you to send it. I went to ask Rongrong, and Brother Cheng asked about the nameplate today. 】
“I…Fuck!” Lu Xiao threw away his phone, threw himself on the bed, and rolled around with the pillow in his arms.
He buried his hot face in the pillow, and the sheets were messed up.
Woohoo, ah, ah, ah, Ye Cheng really likes him!
woohoo woohoo, ah ah ah ah ah!
He didn’t know how long it took before he just sat up from the bed.
His mouth hurt a little from laughing, and there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes. He was going crazy.
Lu Xiao wiped his face and retrieved the phone from under the bed.
Jiang Jin sent him a few messages.
[Don’t worry, he must know it before giving it to you. 】
[He is not in the right mood today. He may have been entangled for a while before he decided to give you the nameplate. 】
[How are you, brother Xiao. 】
[Have you gone to chat with him? 】
Lu Xiao took a few deep breaths, inhaled the air deep into his lungs, and then slowly breathed out.
He suppressed his excitement to the point of exploding, and typed: [I didn’t look for him. 】
Suspect X: [It’s not sincere to say this kind of thing on WeChat. I want to ask him face-to-face. 】
Jiang Jin: [It’s hard not to support, I also think the most important thing is to ask face-to-face. 】
He sent another wretched snickering emoji, and joked: [Isn’t it cool to be confessed by the first in the whole grade? 】
Lu Xiao was even a little serious.
Suspect X: [This is not a confession, it should be me who confessed to him. 】
Jiang Jin: [Huh? 】
Suspect X: [Don’t I need to do this kind of thing? 】
After Lu Xiao sent this message, his face was already red.
Confessing this kind of thing, how can he make Ye Cheng do it?
He should be the first to speak. He has to give Ye Cheng a confession.
Jiang Jin sent a sobbing emoji: [ Brother Xiao, are you really a solo mother? Why more than me? ? 】
[If I were Brother Cheng, wouldn’t I already cry? 】
Lu Xiao turned off his phone, went to the study to get a small notebook, and began to write his confession in a serious manner.
He tried to write as clearly and beautifully as possible, because this was a very important and important thing to him.
He wrote it again if he was not satisfied, and then crossed it out and rewrote it.
Soon, a lot of waste paper was piled up on the table.
This is the first time he has fallen in love with someone, and the first time he has rushed to write a love letter to someone.
For the first time, he felt that he was favored by the person he liked. He felt so happy.
Today is New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day is very close, and New Year’s Eve will be in two days.
Meng Li had already promised him to go to Ye Cheng’s house for New Year’s Eve dinner together on New Year’s Eve.
It is more suitable to make a confession after the new year’s bell.
He bit the pen and thought hard. Although he had enough brain cells, he still laughed out loud from time to time.
In the eighteen years he has lived, he has never been so happy as he is now.
If he waits until New Year’s Eve, will he be so happy that you want to die?
Thinking like this, he stopped writing and put his pillow on his arm in a daze.
He couldn’t help but imagine in his mind what Ye Cheng’s reaction would be after he read this sentence affectionately. Would he be shy, or talk to him about something?
Of course, what to do? To kiss him, or hug him?
What does his lips taste like, is it as soft as in a dream?
It is still a little fragrant of orange blossom, with a light sweetness.
Lu Xiao didn’t fall asleep all night, tossing and turning on the bed.
He imagined New Year’s Eve many times, and he couldn’t control himself at all.
Ye Cheng is also unable to sleep.
After eating Gao Qiulan’s longevity noodles, Ye Cheng began to help prepare the ingredients needed for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Gao Qiulan asked him to look at the pot of lard. He stood in the kitchen and checked his phone while watching the fire.
Repeatedly clicking on WeChat, James’ avatar was about to be smashed by him.
It was that Lu Xiao didn’t look for him all night, not even to say hello good night.
Ye Cheng couldn’t help frowning and thought, did he not know the meaning of the nameplate, right?
Thinking about it this way, and combining it with Lu Xiao’s IQ, it seems like he really has the ability… this idiot.
He started to feel a little regretful, he knew he shouldn’t have to hint in such a subtle way.
He is used to being an adult who doesn’t know what to say, and sometimes he’s a little bit indirect. This is a habit that’s hard to break.
“Xiao Cheng, is the lard out?” Gao Qiulan shouted outside.
Ye Cheng put away his phone, glanced at the pot, and said, “It’s almost time.”
Gao Qiulan walked in wearing an apron: “Tomorrow, you will go out with me to buy some couplets with blessing characters, and decorate the house to make it more festive. Would Lu Xiao’s mother like it?”
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes and said, “Grandma, remember to give him a big red envelope.”
He secretly thought to himself that this kind of gift for the “grandson’s daughter-in-law” should not be neglected.
Gao Qiulan replied, “It has to be big, I have already prepared it.”
He thought for a while and asked him, “How much do you think Aunt Meng will give you? We can’t be compared to others.”
Ye Cheng felt a smile: “I guess I’ll give you ten thousand, there’s no need to roll in, grandma.”
“I can’t do that. How about I just give you a hundred thousand yuan card?” Gao Qiulan was very serious.
Ye Cheng couldn’t help laughing: “It’s not impossible if you want to.”
“That’s it.” Gao Qiulan was full of fighting spirit, “It can’t be less than that.”
The next day, his grandma got up early and took a taxi to the market to buy things.
Ye Cheng received messages from Lu Xiao on the way, and quickly opened it to read, but it wasn’t about the nameplate.
Suspect X: [I check the results of the exam. 】
Suspect X: [I got three A’s in the test, Mr. monitor. 】
Looking at his words as if nothing happened,it might be true. He doesn’t know what the nameplate symbolizes.
The corners of Ye Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Forget it, I’ll tell him when we meet tomorrow.
Regarding the confession, he had an almost traditional ceremony.
This has been the case since a long time ago, and they have never talked about love on WeChat. If there is a problem, it is solved face to face.
After all, a lot of times, some contradictions are dealt with in one shot, and if not, then a few more shots are fired.
The two of them have the same understanding of this.
He praised: [It’s so good, you made great progress. 】
Suspect X: [Really. 】
This time, Lu Xiao wasn’t proud and didn’t ask for a reward—because he was being praised so much.
In the past, Ye Cheng praised him, but now Ye Cheng praised him, it has two completely different meanings.
In the past, he felt that Ye Cheng was encouraging him, but to put it bluntly, he just wanted him to get better and better, purely for the purpose of tutoring him in his studies.
Now, he couldn’t help but substitute the premise “Ye Cheng likes him”.
So when he praised him, it should be because he really wanted to praise him. He likes him and has a filter for him.
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Xiao wanted to go crazy.
He typed a few lines, deleted them, retyped a few lines, and deleted them again.
He clenched his fist.
Ye Cheng just stared at the screen like that, and the last thing he saw was a message from him: “See you in heaven.jpg” 】
His face was accompanied by a cute and coquettish little pig emoji. This was the first time Lu Xiao had sent him such an emoji.
In fact, Lu Xiao originally didn’t want to send memes, but he didn’t like to act like a spoiled child.
But he looked at the chat log and felt that his reply seemed too indifferent.
He didn’t want Ye Cheng to be unhappy because of these, even a little bit.
So, he added a coquettish expression.
Ye Cheng’s heart was so soft that she typed: [Tianjian [little love]]
“Xiao Cheng, what are you laughing at?” Gao Qiulan sat in the co-pilot and looked back at him.
“It’s nothing, I saw some funny video and watched it.” Ye Cheng restrained his smile, pretending to be calm, and turned off the screen.
Lu Xiao looked at the little love on the screen, let out a roar and rolled over on the bed with the phone tied to his heart.
He rolled around for a while, and then started to look at the chat records again.
It’s just a few lines of words, and it’s a boring conversation, but he just doesn’t get tired of reading it.
Especially the little love heart, woohoo, it’s so pretty.
There was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Wang shouted, “Xiao Xiao, it’s time to eat.”
“I’m coming.” Lu Xiaozhong shouted loudly, got up and ran upstairs.
His steps were fast and heavy, and Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but look at him more.
Meng Li was sitting at the table while watching the drama and drinking porridge,: “When my son finishes eating, help mother pick some winter jujubes from the yard. Take it with you tomorrow.”
“Mom, don’t bring too many things, it would look like we are very pompous.”
Lu Xiao is very worried all the time that he would leave a bad impression in Ye Cheng’s heart.
This looks like an exaggerated upstart.
Meng Li retorted: “That won’t work, I’ve prepared a cart full of New Year’s goods.”
Lu Xiao was helpless: “If you really want to send something, you might as well give Ye Cheng a
red envelope.”
When he remembered the red envelopes, he remembered the customs of the South.
When the mother-in-law saw her “daughter-in-law” for the first time, as usual, she would give a big red envelope.
He secretly poked and suggested privately: “Pack a big one.”
“That must be a big deal,” Meng Li took it for granted, “but his grandmother should also give it to you. How much do you think she would give?”
Lu Xiao wasn’t sure, so he guessed blindly, “Ten thousand?”
Meng Li nodded: “Then I’ll give you fifty thousand.”
“Pfft, cough, cough.” Lu Xiao choked on the porridge, and smiled, “you have to keep up with the comparisons. If a person gives you 50,000 yuan, won’t you give him 100,000 yuan?”
Meng Li: “Well, I’ll prepare two cards.”
The two discussed countermeasures while eating, and finally decided to do it all at once.
Meng Li directly stuffed a 100,000 yuan card into the red envelope, and happily went to pick winter jujubes.
****
On New Year’s Eve, Meng Li dragged a truckload of New Year’s goods to Ye Cheng.
Gao Qiulan stood at the door and watched the driver move the boxes of gifts into their home feeling shame.
She has never encountered a younger generation who used this kind of attitude to “pay New Year’s greetings”.
“Auntie, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai.” Meng Li said with a smile without any worries.
Wearing a red coat, she looked more colourful than before, and was a little fatter.
Lu Xiao is a lot taller standing in black with his hands on his pockets. He is very eye-catching.
“Grandma, it’s New Year’s Eve.” He said.
He changed his hairstyle a little today, and he looked more handsome than usual.
Gao Qiulan laughed so hard: “Hey, Happy New Year .”
Ye Qiaoqiao she heard a voice,she ran and said, “Brother Xiao, happy New year.”
Looking at Meng Li, she called out “Auntie”.
Meng Li smiled and said, “Is this your granddaughter? She looks really cute.”
Lu Xiao thought to himself, don’t open your eyes and talk nonsense, where is she cute?
He probed the probe, but didn’t see Ye Cheng.
He doesn’t know where he went.
“This is Qiaoqiao, that is Xiao Lu, next door.” Gao Qiulan introduced, “They will have dinner with us as a family, so it’s more lively.”
Meng Li hurriedly said, “Lu Xiao, go get the red envelope from the car, and I’ll pack one for the two children as well.”
“No, no.” Gao Qiulan quickly discouraged.
Lu Xiao went back to the car and took the red envelope, Gao Qiulan pushed it away from Meng Li, and finally let the children take it.
When they entered the room, Lu Xiao asked Ye Qiaoqiao, “Where’s your brother?”
“I went to buy vinegar, there is no vinegar left.” Ye Qiaoqiao said.
Everyone sat and chatted, and not long after, Ma Yao next door brought his wife.
During this time, he has been helping to take care of Ye Qiaoqiao, and Gao Qiulan called them to have a New Year’s Eve dinner in order to thank them.
Lu Xiao sat next to Meng Li, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, looking at the layout of a living room.
There is a fortune tree near the entrance, with a few small red envelopes hanging on it, for the children to take for themselves.
The glass window has the word “Fu” posted on it, and the coffee table is full of nuts and snacks. At first glance, it looks more like the New Year.
About twenty minutes later, the entrance door rang.
Lu Xiao immediately looked over and clenched his hands on his knee.
“Xiao Cheng is back.” Gao Qiulan said.
The door was pushed open, and Ye Cheng walked in with a plastic bag in a cold suit.
He put on a white down jacket, with an astronaut pendant on his back, and a blue sweater folded inside, his hair was a little messy from the wind.
Hischeeks were red from the cold, and when he saw him, he couldn’t help but want to hug her.
Lu Xiao sat on the armrest and turned to look at him in a twisted posture.
In the past two days, he was eating and sleeping, thinking about this person, and when he really saw him, his breathing was about to stop.
Meng Li got up and walked over and said, “Xiao Cheng , Auntie will give you a red envelope.”
Ye Cheng’s eyes just fell on Lu Xiao, and within a second, Meng Li walked towards him.
“Auntie, you are too polite.” He said.
Gao Qiulan also followed.
Ye Qiaoqiao held her back and slowly said, “Brother Xiao, aren’t you tired of looking at him like this?”
Only then did Lu Xiao regain his senses, and rubbed his neck.
It’s really sour.
The three had a tug-of-war at the entrance, and Meng Li finally successfully delivered the red envelope.
Not to be outdone, Gao Qiulan gave Lu Xiao the red envelope she had prepared.
While he was sitting, Meng Li was pulled to another sofa.
The elders were chatting, Ye Qiaoqiao and Xiao Yu were playing flying chess.
Ye Cheng walked to Lu Xiao’s side, the two looked at each other, and looked away unnaturally.
“Happy New Year.” He whispered.
Lu Xiao couldn’t control his shyness for a while, and curled his fingers together.
“You too, have a happy New Year.” He murmured.
Ye Cheng tightened his hands holding the plastic bag and said, “I’m going to cook first. I promised you last time that I’ll cook you a dish after the exam.”
Lu Xiao immediately raised his head: “Are you going to cook?”
“Well, it’s sweet and sour pork.”
He ran out to buy vinegar just to make this dish.
Lu Xiao’s ears turned red: “How do you know that I like sweet and sour pork?”
Ye Cheng: “Auntie.”
Meng Li was in the middle of Gao Qiulan’s words, as if there was something wrong, she looked over and smiled.
Lu Xiao’s palms sweated for no reason.
He stood up and said, “I’ll go and give you a hand. In the past two days, I have learned how to cut vegetables with Mrs. Wang.”
Ye Cheng thought to himself, coincidentally, my grandma also taught me.
However, he still nodded and said, “ okay.”
Entering the kitchen, Lu Xiao consciously washed his hands and cut the meat, carefully changing the knife for the tenderloin.
This level of proficiency has been practiced many times.
He noticed that Ye Cheng was wearing the watch he gave him, and when washing his hands, he carefully picked it up and put it aside.
He couldn’t help but feel happier.
As Ye Cheng mixed the sauce, he asked, “Are you guys doing anything tonight? If you have nothing to do, let’s stay and watch the night together.”
It is fashionable to cook dumplings at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night here in the south, and Gao Qiulan has already prepared dumplings.
“I’m fine, look at my mother.” Lu Xiao.
He thought to himself, but the small note is in the right pocket, right? How can he take it out and make him read it so that it doesn’t seem so deliberate?
Ye Cheng heated the oil and threw the meat slices into the pan to fry.
Lu Xiao watched from the side, and sighed, “You cook better than me and the oil didn’t spill.”
“That’s because you didn’t see me a few days ago.” Ye Cheng said casually, and then he realized that he had slipped.
Lu Xiao grasped the point: “How many days have you prepared for this dish?”
Ye Cheng didn’t want to answer: “Give me the salt.”
“Well, how many times did you do it?” Lu Xiao held the salt in his hand and insisted.
Ye Cheng took a breath and admitted, “Five times.”
Lu Xiao stopped talking, lowered his head and smiled.
Ye Cheng snatched the salt from his hand, and the kitchen was quiet, only the sound of oil sizzling could be heard.
After a long time, Lu Xiao smiled and said, “I’ll do it for you this time too.”
“Let’s do it again.” Ye Cheng replied vaguely, his face flushed red from the smoke.
It was almost six o’clock, and the New Year’s Eve dinner began.
Gao Qiulan cooked several Sichuan dishes by herself, and ordered some dishes from the hotel, filling the table.
According to Lu Xiao’s plan, he planned to ask Ye Cheng out after dinner.
He hid a bunch of night lights in the car, and he spent the whole night making a commemorative photo album, which contained the memories of the two people from the time they were acquaintances to the present.
But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. He never imagined that Ma Yao was a heavy drinker.
Since there were only three men in total, Ye Cheng and Lu Xiao accompanied him for a few drinks, but Ma Yao couldn’t control it as soon as he got up.
It took more than two hours to eat this meal, and it got dark after eating.
Ma Yao was dragged back to education by his wife by the ear, Xiao Yu didn’t want to go back, and clamored for Ye Qiaoqiao to watch cartoons together.
Meng Li also drank some wine and was leaning against Gao Qiulan on the sofa.
“Daughter, you have to take it easy, don’t you know?” Gao Qiulan put her arms around her and comforted her softly.
Meng Li’s nose is sour. Except for her mother who passed away, no one has called her “daughter” for a long time.
In Sichuan, it is not called daughter, but Gao Qiulan called that because she is from the south.
Ye Cheng cooked a few boxes of dumplings and packed them in a thermos bag.
Gao Qiulan instructed: “Pay attention to safety on the road, and hurry back when you’re done.”
Ye Cheng responded, looked at Lu Xiao, who was sitting next to him, and raised his eyebrows at him.
His expression was very subtle, but Lu Xiao caught it instantly.
He staggered, stood up and said, “I’ll go with him, and get some drinks along the way.”
“Go.” Meng Li said.
The two opened the door and walked out.
When passing Meng Li’s car, Lu Xiao stopped for a while.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Cheng asked.
Lu Xiao walked forward, “It’s okay.”
It’s better to go to the hospital first, and then go back.
At the dinner table just now, Lu Xiao drank a few more than he did, and his walking posture looked crooked.
Ye Cheng was afraid that he might spill the dumplings, so he stretched out his hand and said, “Are you a little drunk? I’ll carry it.”
Lu Xiao deftly avoided his hand, and took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around his shoulders, “No, you can just hold me.”
He put his arm on Ye Cheng’s shoulder, and the truth was he is a little heavy.
But Ye Cheng didn’t let go, and let him surround him with a domineering posture.
Not only did he not change to Lu Xiao’s satisfaction, but he made his breathing a little heavier.
He doesn’t know why, but Ye Cheng didn’t resist, causing a tyrannical surge in his body.
The more obedient he behaved, the more he wanted to bully him.
Lu Xiao gradually put more than half of his weight on him. He couldn’t walk, and occasionally rubbed his hair on him.
In fact, he wasn’t drunk, he was just acting out because of alcohol.
There are hardly any people on the street, and most people spend the New Year’s home.
The roadside is lit up with colorful lights, the street lights are dim and bright, and the warm light spreads all the way from the soles of the feet to the horizon.
Lu Xiao hummed in his ear: “My head is a little dizzy.”
“Go back and I’ll make honey water for you.” Ye Cheng tried hard to support him.
I didn’t think he was drunk and had to follow him, and I didn’t think he was causing trouble.
“Sweet and sour pork is delicious, can you make it for me again?”
“I can.”
It’s not “see your performance” or “consider”, but “I can”.
Lu Xiao just wanted to rely on him, never get up.
He felt that he was about to fall in love with Ye Cheng.
When he got to the hospital, Ye Cheng asked him to wait at the gate of the outpatient clinic, and went upstairs to deliver the dumplings.
Ten minutes later, Ye Cheng walked to the gate and saw him sitting on the steps of the flower bed with his back to him.
Standing up, he was a tall boy of 1.85 meters, but when he sat down, he still looked like a child.
Especially when holding his legs and tilting his head to look at the night sky.
The corners of Ye Cheng’s mouth rose slightly, ready to scare him from behind.
Just as he approached, he heard Lu Xiao muttering to himself in a slightly drunk and hoarse voice.
“Moon, Moon, will you promise me, Ye Cheng?”
Ye Cheng stopped, and stared at his back in a daze.
There was a time when Lu Xiao quarreled with him. He had just flown abroad for a business trip, and the two had no contact for three days.
On the night of returning home, he didn’t see Lu Xiao in the airport and he was even more depressed.
When he returned home, he found that there were empty wine bottles everywhere in the living room.
He walked to the terrace and saw Lu Xiao sitting on the bench holding his legs, his voice was thick and nasal.
“Moon Moon, will Ah Cheng forgive me? He doesn’t want me?”
Lu Xiao looked up at the moon like a big dog falling into the water, and asked drunkenly.
In an instant, Ye Cheng felt that something was broken in his heart.
Raging enthusiasm welled up in his eyes. He hadn’t felt this way for a long time, and he couldn’t restrain his emotions from growing wildly in his heart.
It was like a vine that couldn’t stop , gradually filling up his entire chest cavity.
He turned around and walked right in front of Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao obviously didn’t expect him to appear on his own, stumbling and stumbling: “You…why did you show up so soon?”
Ye Cheng’s eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth: “What are you asking the moon?”
“Huh?” Lu Xiao’s first reaction – he heard it.
He was a little flustered and raised his head, damn it, the plan was disrupted again.
There were so many surprises in the car, and there was also the note in his pocket that he didn’t have time to read out the confession.
Ye Cheng’s Adam’s apple froze, as if he was trying her best to endure something.
He said softly, “It’s better to ask me about this kind of thing.”
After that, he bent over and held Lu Xiao’s face with both hands.
Lu Xiao was completely stunned, not knowing what happened.
When he came back to his senses, Ye Cheng had already lowered his head and kissed his lips.
T/N: Finally, they are together!!!
Ye Cheng put the nameplate on him and went in without looking back.
He was puzzled and touched the sign, but he still couldn’t figure it out until he was two feet tall.
When it arrived, Jiang Jin sent him a message: [Brother Xiao, how are you, are you satisfied with the arrangement today? 】
He didn’t immediately reply back, but Lu Xiao wanted to slap him.
He said: [Satisfied ass, who told you to put flowers in the Ferris wheel? 】
Jiang Jin: [I saw you holding hands above, eh? Um? 】
After Jiang Yirong’s one-day ideological education and secret observation, he found that Lu Xiao’s attitude towards Ye Cheng was indeed different.
Tan Xiaoqi didn’t lie to him, it looks like… it’s true.
Jiang Jin grew up in a studio, and he has come into contact with many friends, so his reaction to this kind of thing is normal.
There was silence for a moment, then he said: [By the way, I want to ask you something. 】
Jiang Jin: [I have loved .jpg]]
Suspect X: [Shut up. 】
Suspect X: [If someone gives you his nameplate, what does that mean? 】
Lu Xiao vaguely remembered that when he was a freshman in high school, someone also put the nameplate on his seat.
At that time, he thought that someone had fallen. He threw it to the podium casually and went to ask someone to claim it.
Jiang Jin’s reaction was huge: [Fuck. Fuck, Brother Cheng gave you his nameplate? 】
Suspect X: [How do you know it’s him? 】
Jiang Jin: [Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! ! 】
Jiang Jin: [Ah ah ah ah! ! 】
Suspect X: […]
Suspect X: [What the hell are you calling? 】
Jiang Jin: [[Big cry.jpg] Woohoo, Xiao brother, I’m cheering for you, happy for you. 】
Suspect X: [? ? ? 】
Jiang Jin: [Didn’t you notice that I’m still wearing the Rong Rong’s nameplate today. 】
Lu Xiao saw it, but he thought it was Jiang Jin being himself, and wondered if this was a trend, casual clothes with nameplates.
Suspect X: [Wow, so? 】
J
iang Jin: [so this is the meaning of “I like you”, giving someone a nameplate = confessing to someone. 】
Jiang Jin: [He also likes you, Brother Xiao. 】
Lu Xiao had read this line ten times.
Although it was all Chinese characters, he found it extremely confusing.
Until he understood it for a moment, his whole head buzzed.
——It means, Ye Cheng gave him the nameplate, and Ye Cheng likes him too!
He blinked, and the pink bubbles quickly popped out, rushing from his chest all the way to his throat, drowning his entire being.
His heart was pounding like fireworks, he just wanted to jump up and shout a few times, his chest heaving up and down.
After five minutes, he typed with trembling fingers: [Really? No, it’s not a mistake, right? 】
Jiang Jin is very sure: [It’s not a mistake, just waiting for you to send it. I went to ask Rongrong, and Brother Cheng asked about the nameplate today. 】
“I…Fuck!” Lu Xiao threw away his phone, threw himself on the bed, and rolled around with the pillow in his arms.
He buried his hot face in the pillow, and the sheets were messed up.
Woohoo, ah, ah, ah, Ye Cheng really likes him!
woohoo woohoo, ah ah ah ah ah!
He didn’t know how long it took before he just sat up from the bed.
His mouth hurt a little from laughing, and there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes. He was going crazy.
Lu Xiao wiped his face and retrieved the phone from under the bed.
Jiang Jin sent him a few messages.
[Don’t worry, he must know it before giving it to you. 】
[He is not in the right mood today. He may have been entangled for a while before he decided to give you the nameplate. 】
[How are you, brother Xiao. 】
[Have you gone to chat with him? 】
Lu Xiao took a few deep breaths, inhaled the air deep into his lungs, and then slowly breathed out.
He suppressed his excitement to the point of exploding, and typed: [I didn’t look for him. 】
Suspect X: [It’s not sincere to say this kind of thing on WeChat. I want to ask him face-to-face. 】
Jiang Jin: [It’s hard not to support, I also think the most important thing is to ask face-to-face. 】
He sent another wretched snickering emoji, and joked: [Isn’t it cool to be confessed by the first in the whole grade? 】
Lu Xiao was even a little serious.
Suspect X: [This is not a confession, it should be me who confessed to him. 】
Jiang Jin: [Huh? 】
Suspect X: [Don’t I need to do this kind of thing? 】
After Lu Xiao sent this message, his face was already red.
Confessing this kind of thing, how can he make Ye Cheng do it?
He should be the first to speak. He has to give Ye Cheng a confession.
Jiang Jin sent a sobbing emoji: [ Brother Xiao, are you really a solo mother? Why more than me? ? 】
[If I were Brother Cheng, wouldn’t I already cry? 】
Lu Xiao turned off his phone, went to the study to get a small notebook, and began to write his confession in a serious manner.
He tried to write as clearly and beautifully as possible, because this was a very important and important thing to him.
He wrote it again if he was not satisfied, and then crossed it out and rewrote it.
Soon, a lot of waste paper was piled up on the table.
This is the first time he has fallen in love with someone, and the first time he has rushed to write a love letter to someone.
For the first time, he felt that he was favored by the person he liked. He felt so happy.
Today is New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day is very close, and New Year’s Eve will be in two days.
Meng Li had already promised him to go to Ye Cheng’s house for New Year’s Eve dinner together on New Year’s Eve.
It is more suitable to make a confession after the new year’s bell.
He bit the pen and thought hard. Although he had enough brain cells, he still laughed out loud from time to time.
In the eighteen years he has lived, he has never been so happy as he is now.
If he waits until New Year’s Eve, will he be so happy that you want to die?
Thinking like this, he stopped writing and put his pillow on his arm in a daze.
He couldn’t help but imagine in his mind what Ye Cheng’s reaction would be after he read this sentence affectionately. Would he be shy, or talk to him about something?
Of course, what to do? To kiss him, or hug him?
What does his lips taste like, is it as soft as in a dream?
It is still a little fragrant of orange blossom, with a light sweetness.
Lu Xiao didn’t fall asleep all night, tossing and turning on the bed.
He imagined New Year’s Eve many times, and he couldn’t control himself at all.
Ye Cheng is also unable to sleep.
After eating Gao Qiulan’s longevity noodles, Ye Cheng began to help prepare the ingredients needed for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Gao Qiulan asked him to look at the pot of lard. He stood in the kitchen and checked his phone while watching the fire.
Repeatedly clicking on WeChat, James’ avatar was about to be smashed by him.
It was that Lu Xiao didn’t look for him all night, not even to say hello good night.
Ye Cheng couldn’t help frowning and thought, did he not know the meaning of the nameplate, right?
Thinking about it this way, and combining it with Lu Xiao’s IQ, it seems like he really has the ability… this idiot.
He started to feel a little regretful, he knew he shouldn’t have to hint in such a subtle way.
He is used to being an adult who doesn’t know what to say, and sometimes he’s a little bit indirect. This is a habit that’s hard to break.
“Xiao Cheng, is the lard out?” Gao Qiulan shouted outside.
Ye Cheng put away his phone, glanced at the pot, and said, “It’s almost time.”
Gao Qiulan walked in wearing an apron: “Tomorrow, you will go out with me to buy some couplets with blessing characters, and decorate the house to make it more festive. Would Lu Xiao’s mother like it?”
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes and said, “Grandma, remember to give him a big red envelope.”
He secretly thought to himself that this kind of gift for the “grandson’s daughter-in-law” should not be neglected.
Gao Qiulan replied, “It has to be big, I have already prepared it.”
He thought for a while and asked him, “How much do you think Aunt Meng will give you? We can’t be compared to others.”
Ye Cheng felt a smile: “I guess I’ll give you ten thousand, there’s no need to roll in, grandma.”
“I can’t do that. How about I just give you a hundred thousand yuan card?” Gao Qiulan was very serious.
Ye Cheng couldn’t help laughing: “It’s not impossible if you want to.”
“That’s it.” Gao Qiulan was full of fighting spirit, “It can’t be less than that.”
The next day, his grandma got up early and took a taxi to the market to buy things.
Ye Cheng received messages from Lu Xiao on the way, and quickly opened it to read, but it wasn’t about the nameplate.
Suspect X: [I check the results of the exam. 】
Suspect X: [I got three A’s in the test, Mr. monitor. 】
Looking at his words as if nothing happened,it might be true. He doesn’t know what the nameplate symbolizes.
The corners of Ye Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Forget it, I’ll tell him when we meet tomorrow.
Regarding the confession, he had an almost traditional ceremony.
This has been the case since a long time ago, and they have never talked about love on WeChat. If there is a problem, it is solved face to face.
After all, a lot of times, some contradictions are dealt with in one shot, and if not, then a few more shots are fired.
The two of them have the same understanding of this.
He praised: [It’s so good, you made great progress. 】
Suspect X: [Really. 】
This time, Lu Xiao wasn’t proud and didn’t ask for a reward—because he was being praised so much.
In the past, Ye Cheng praised him, but now Ye Cheng praised him, it has two completely different meanings.
In the past, he felt that Ye Cheng was encouraging him, but to put it bluntly, he just wanted him to get better and better, purely for the purpose of tutoring him in his studies.
Now, he couldn’t help but substitute the premise “Ye Cheng likes him”.
So when he praised him, it should be because he really wanted to praise him. He likes him and has a filter for him.
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Xiao wanted to go crazy.
He typed a few lines, deleted them, retyped a few lines, and deleted them again.
He clenched his fist.
Ye Cheng just stared at the screen like that, and the last thing he saw was a message from him: “See you in heaven.jpg” 】
His face was accompanied by a cute and coquettish little pig emoji. This was the first time Lu Xiao had sent him such an emoji.
In fact, Lu Xiao originally didn’t want to send memes, but he didn’t like to act like a spoiled child.
But he looked at the chat log and felt that his reply seemed too indifferent.
He didn’t want Ye Cheng to be unhappy because of these, even a little bit.
So, he added a coquettish expression.
Ye Cheng’s heart was so soft that she typed: [Tianjian [little love]]
“Xiao Cheng, what are you laughing at?” Gao Qiulan sat in the co-pilot and looked back at him.
“It’s nothing, I saw some funny video and watched it.” Ye Cheng restrained his smile, pretending to be calm, and turned off the screen.
Lu Xiao looked at the little love on the screen, let out a roar and rolled over on the bed with the phone tied to his heart.
He rolled around for a while, and then started to look at the chat records again.
It’s just a few lines of words, and it’s a boring conversation, but he just doesn’t get tired of reading it.
Especially the little love heart, woohoo, it’s so pretty.
There was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Wang shouted, “Xiao Xiao, it’s time to eat.”
“I’m coming.” Lu Xiaozhong shouted loudly, got up and ran upstairs.
His steps were fast and heavy, and Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but look at him more.
Meng Li was sitting at the table while watching the drama and drinking porridge,: “When my son finishes eating, help mother pick some winter jujubes from the yard. Take it with you tomorrow.”
“Mom, don’t bring too many things, it would look like we are very pompous.”
Lu Xiao is very worried all the time that he would leave a bad impression in Ye Cheng’s heart.
This looks like an exaggerated upstart.
Meng Li retorted: “That won’t work, I’ve prepared a cart full of New Year’s goods.”
Lu Xiao was helpless: “If you really want to send something, you might as well give Ye Cheng a
red envelope.”
When he remembered the red envelopes, he remembered the customs of the South.
When the mother-in-law saw her “daughter-in-law” for the first time, as usual, she would give a big red envelope.
He secretly poked and suggested privately: “Pack a big one.”
“That must be a big deal,” Meng Li took it for granted, “but his grandmother should also give it to you. How much do you think she would give?”
Lu Xiao wasn’t sure, so he guessed blindly, “Ten thousand?”
Meng Li nodded: “Then I’ll give you fifty thousand.”
“Pfft, cough, cough.” Lu Xiao choked on the porridge, and smiled, “you have to keep up with the comparisons. If a person gives you 50,000 yuan, won’t you give him 100,000 yuan?”
Meng Li: “Well, I’ll prepare two cards.”
The two discussed countermeasures while eating, and finally decided to do it all at once.
Meng Li directly stuffed a 100,000 yuan card into the red envelope, and happily went to pick winter jujubes.
****
On New Year’s Eve, Meng Li dragged a truckload of New Year’s goods to Ye Cheng.
Gao Qiulan stood at the door and watched the driver move the boxes of gifts into their home feeling shame.
She has never encountered a younger generation who used this kind of attitude to “pay New Year’s greetings”.
“Auntie, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai.” Meng Li said with a smile without any worries.
Wearing a red coat, she looked more colourful than before, and was a little fatter.
Lu Xiao is a lot taller standing in black with his hands on his pockets. He is very eye-catching.
“Grandma, it’s New Year’s Eve.” He said.
He changed his hairstyle a little today, and he looked more handsome than usual.
Gao Qiulan laughed so hard: “Hey, Happy New Year .”
Ye Qiaoqiao she heard a voice,she ran and said, “Brother Xiao, happy New year.”
Looking at Meng Li, she called out “Auntie”.
Meng Li smiled and said, “Is this your granddaughter? She looks really cute.”
Lu Xiao thought to himself, don’t open your eyes and talk nonsense, where is she cute?
He probed the probe, but didn’t see Ye Cheng.
He doesn’t know where he went.
“This is Qiaoqiao, that is Xiao Lu, next door.” Gao Qiulan introduced, “They will have dinner with us as a family, so it’s more lively.”
Meng Li hurriedly said, “Lu Xiao, go get the red envelope from the car, and I’ll pack one for the two children as well.”
“No, no.” Gao Qiulan quickly discouraged.
Lu Xiao went back to the car and took the red envelope, Gao Qiulan pushed it away from Meng Li, and finally let the children take it.
When they entered the room, Lu Xiao asked Ye Qiaoqiao, “Where’s your brother?”
“I went to buy vinegar, there is no vinegar left.” Ye Qiaoqiao said.
Everyone sat and chatted, and not long after, Ma Yao next door brought his wife.
During this time, he has been helping to take care of Ye Qiaoqiao, and Gao Qiulan called them to have a New Year’s Eve dinner in order to thank them.
Lu Xiao sat next to Meng Li, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, looking at the layout of a living room.
There is a fortune tree near the entrance, with a few small red envelopes hanging on it, for the children to take for themselves.
The glass window has the word “Fu” posted on it, and the coffee table is full of nuts and snacks. At first glance, it looks more like the New Year.
About twenty minutes later, the entrance door rang.
Lu Xiao immediately looked over and clenched his hands on his knee.
“Xiao Cheng is back.” Gao Qiulan said.
The door was pushed open, and Ye Cheng walked in with a plastic bag in a cold suit.
He put on a white down jacket, with an astronaut pendant on his back, and a blue sweater folded inside, his hair was a little messy from the wind.
Hischeeks were red from the cold, and when he saw him, he couldn’t help but want to hug her.
Lu Xiao sat on the armrest and turned to look at him in a twisted posture.
In the past two days, he was eating and sleeping, thinking about this person, and when he really saw him, his breathing was about to stop.
Meng Li got up and walked over and said, “Xiao Cheng , Auntie will give you a red envelope.”
Ye Cheng’s eyes just fell on Lu Xiao, and within a second, Meng Li walked towards him.
“Auntie, you are too polite.” He said.
Gao Qiulan also followed.
Ye Qiaoqiao held her back and slowly said, “Brother Xiao, aren’t you tired of looking at him like this?”
Only then did Lu Xiao regain his senses, and rubbed his neck.
It’s really sour.
The three had a tug-of-war at the entrance, and Meng Li finally successfully delivered the red envelope.
Not to be outdone, Gao Qiulan gave Lu Xiao the red envelope she had prepared.
While he was sitting, Meng Li was pulled to another sofa.
The elders were chatting, Ye Qiaoqiao and Xiao Yu were playing flying chess.
Ye Cheng walked to Lu Xiao’s side, the two looked at each other, and looked away unnaturally.
“Happy New Year.” He whispered.
Lu Xiao couldn’t control his shyness for a while, and curled his fingers together.
“You too, have a happy New Year.” He murmured.
Ye Cheng tightened his hands holding the plastic bag and said, “I’m going to cook first. I promised you last time that I’ll cook you a dish after the exam.”
Lu Xiao immediately raised his head: “Are you going to cook?”
“Well, it’s sweet and sour pork.”
He ran out to buy vinegar just to make this dish.
Lu Xiao’s ears turned red: “How do you know that I like sweet and sour pork?”
Ye Cheng: “Auntie.”
Meng Li was in the middle of Gao Qiulan’s words, as if there was something wrong, she looked over and smiled.
Lu Xiao’s palms sweated for no reason.
He stood up and said, “I’ll go and give you a hand. In the past two days, I have learned how to cut vegetables with Mrs. Wang.”
Ye Cheng thought to himself, coincidentally, my grandma also taught me.
However, he still nodded and said, “ okay.”
Entering the kitchen, Lu Xiao consciously washed his hands and cut the meat, carefully changing the knife for the tenderloin.
This level of proficiency has been practiced many times.
He noticed that Ye Cheng was wearing the watch he gave him, and when washing his hands, he carefully picked it up and put it aside.
He couldn’t help but feel happier.
As Ye Cheng mixed the sauce, he asked, “Are you guys doing anything tonight? If you have nothing to do, let’s stay and watch the night together.”
It is fashionable to cook dumplings at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night here in the south, and Gao Qiulan has already prepared dumplings.
“I’m fine, look at my mother.” Lu Xiao.
He thought to himself, but the small note is in the right pocket, right? How can he take it out and make him read it so that it doesn’t seem so deliberate?
Ye Cheng heated the oil and threw the meat slices into the pan to fry.
Lu Xiao watched from the side, and sighed, “You cook better than me and the oil didn’t spill.”
“That’s because you didn’t see me a few days ago.” Ye Cheng said casually, and then he realized that he had slipped.
Lu Xiao grasped the point: “How many days have you prepared for this dish?”
Ye Cheng didn’t want to answer: “Give me the salt.”
“Well, how many times did you do it?” Lu Xiao held the salt in his hand and insisted.
Ye Cheng took a breath and admitted, “Five times.”
Lu Xiao stopped talking, lowered his head and smiled.
Ye Cheng snatched the salt from his hand, and the kitchen was quiet, only the sound of oil sizzling could be heard.
After a long time, Lu Xiao smiled and said, “I’ll do it for you this time too.”
“Let’s do it again.” Ye Cheng replied vaguely, his face flushed red from the smoke.
It was almost six o’clock, and the New Year’s Eve dinner began.
Gao Qiulan cooked several Sichuan dishes by herself, and ordered some dishes from the hotel, filling the table.
According to Lu Xiao’s plan, he planned to ask Ye Cheng out after dinner.
He hid a bunch of night lights in the car, and he spent the whole night making a commemorative photo album, which contained the memories of the two people from the time they were acquaintances to the present.
But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. He never imagined that Ma Yao was a heavy drinker.
Since there were only three men in total, Ye Cheng and Lu Xiao accompanied him for a few drinks, but Ma Yao couldn’t control it as soon as he got up.
It took more than two hours to eat this meal, and it got dark after eating.
Ma Yao was dragged back to education by his wife by the ear, Xiao Yu didn’t want to go back, and clamored for Ye Qiaoqiao to watch cartoons together.
Meng Li also drank some wine and was leaning against Gao Qiulan on the sofa.
“Daughter, you have to take it easy, don’t you know?” Gao Qiulan put her arms around her and comforted her softly.
Meng Li’s nose is sour. Except for her mother who passed away, no one has called her “daughter” for a long time.
In Sichuan, it is not called daughter, but Gao Qiulan called that because she is from the south.
Ye Cheng cooked a few boxes of dumplings and packed them in a thermos bag.
Gao Qiulan instructed: “Pay attention to safety on the road, and hurry back when you’re done.”
Ye Cheng responded, looked at Lu Xiao, who was sitting next to him, and raised his eyebrows at him.
His expression was very subtle, but Lu Xiao caught it instantly.
He staggered, stood up and said, “I’ll go with him, and get some drinks along the way.”
“Go.” Meng Li said.
The two opened the door and walked out.
When passing Meng Li’s car, Lu Xiao stopped for a while.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Cheng asked.
Lu Xiao walked forward, “It’s okay.”
It’s better to go to the hospital first, and then go back.
At the dinner table just now, Lu Xiao drank a few more than he did, and his walking posture looked crooked.
Ye Cheng was afraid that he might spill the dumplings, so he stretched out his hand and said, “Are you a little drunk? I’ll carry it.”
Lu Xiao deftly avoided his hand, and took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around his shoulders, “No, you can just hold me.”
He put his arm on Ye Cheng’s shoulder, and the truth was he is a little heavy.
But Ye Cheng didn’t let go, and let him surround him with a domineering posture.
Not only did he not change to Lu Xiao’s satisfaction, but he made his breathing a little heavier.
He doesn’t know why, but Ye Cheng didn’t resist, causing a tyrannical surge in his body.
The more obedient he behaved, the more he wanted to bully him.
Lu Xiao gradually put more than half of his weight on him. He couldn’t walk, and occasionally rubbed his hair on him.
In fact, he wasn’t drunk, he was just acting out because of alcohol.
There are hardly any people on the street, and most people spend the New Year’s home.
The roadside is lit up with colorful lights, the street lights are dim and bright, and the warm light spreads all the way from the soles of the feet to the horizon.
Lu Xiao hummed in his ear: “My head is a little dizzy.”
“Go back and I’ll make honey water for you.” Ye Cheng tried hard to support him.
I didn’t think he was drunk and had to follow him, and I didn’t think he was causing trouble.
“Sweet and sour pork is delicious, can you make it for me again?”
“I can.”
It’s not “see your performance” or “consider”, but “I can”.
Lu Xiao just wanted to rely on him, never get up.
He felt that he was about to fall in love with Ye Cheng.
When he got to the hospital, Ye Cheng asked him to wait at the gate of the outpatient clinic, and went upstairs to deliver the dumplings.
Ten minutes later, Ye Cheng walked to the gate and saw him sitting on the steps of the flower bed with his back to him.
Standing up, he was a tall boy of 1.85 meters, but when he sat down, he still looked like a child.
Especially when holding his legs and tilting his head to look at the night sky.
The corners of Ye Cheng’s mouth rose slightly, ready to scare him from behind.
Just as he approached, he heard Lu Xiao muttering to himself in a slightly drunk and hoarse voice.
“Moon, Moon, will you promise me, Ye Cheng?”
Ye Cheng stopped, and stared at his back in a daze.
There was a time when Lu Xiao quarreled with him. He had just flown abroad for a business trip, and the two had no contact for three days.
On the night of returning home, he didn’t see Lu Xiao in the airport and he was even more depressed.
When he returned home, he found that there were empty wine bottles everywhere in the living room.
He walked to the terrace and saw Lu Xiao sitting on the bench holding his legs, his voice was thick and nasal.
“Moon Moon, will Ah Cheng forgive me? He doesn’t want me?”
Lu Xiao looked up at the moon like a big dog falling into the water, and asked drunkenly.
In an instant, Ye Cheng felt that something was broken in his heart.
Raging enthusiasm welled up in his eyes. He hadn’t felt this way for a long time, and he couldn’t restrain his emotions from growing wildly in his heart.
It was like a vine that couldn’t stop , gradually filling up his entire chest cavity.
He turned around and walked right in front of Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao obviously didn’t expect him to appear on his own, stumbling and stumbling: “You…why did you show up so soon?”
Ye Cheng’s eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth: “What are you asking the moon?”
“Huh?” Lu Xiao’s first reaction – he heard it.
He was a little flustered and raised his head, damn it, the plan was disrupted again.
There were so many surprises in the car, and there was also the note in his pocket that he didn’t have time to read out the confession.
Ye Cheng’s Adam’s apple froze, as if he was trying her best to endure something.
He said softly, “It’s better to ask me about this kind of thing.”
After that, he bent over and held Lu Xiao’s face with both hands.
Lu Xiao was completely stunned, not knowing what happened.
When he came back to his senses, Ye Cheng had already lowered his head and kissed his lips.
