It’s not scary to travel through a book, I’m the villain

New Year's Eve soon arrived. Chen Yanzhi got up early and was busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns.

"Qin Heng." He held up the lantern and tried to reach it up on tiptoe, but it was still a little short, so he shouted quickly.

A slender hand reached out from behind, took the lantern and hung it up directly.

Chen Yanzhi relaxed his arms, turned around and compared the heights of the two men with his hands. There was not much difference, so why couldn't he hang on? Qin Heng succeeded as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Qin Heng knew what he was thinking from his expression and rubbed his head in amusement.

"Yanzhi." Qin Huaishan's call came from the room.

Chen Yanzhi quickly responded, grabbed Qin Heng's hand, and pulled him in.

Qin Huaishan sat at the table in the restaurant and looked at the things in front of him. There were two plates of fillings, dough, rolling pin, etc.

Chen Yanzhi came over and saw that everything was ready. He clapped his hands happily and said, "We can start now."

It was he who suggested making dumplings, which is an essential part of the Chinese New Year. Making dumplings at noon and having New Year's Eve dinner at night is perfect.

After washing his hands, Chen Yanzhi took the rolling pin and started rolling the dough.

Qin Huaishan took the first piece of dough he rolled out. His movements were not skillful, but he looked pretty good and successfully made his first dumpling.

Qin Heng's eyes were a little confused. He silently watched Chen Yanzhi's flexible hand movements, not knowing where to start.

"Come, let me teach you."

During this period of time, Chen Yanzhi had already rolled out a lot of dough, so he simply put it down, handed a piece of dough to Qin Heng, and taught him step by step.

"Don't put too much filling... Yes, pinch it tightly..."

"Teacher Chen" teaches very attentively and "Student Qin" studies very seriously.

"Not bad, right?" Qin Heng spread out his palm, on which was the first dumpling he had made. It was a standard crescent shape with tight folds. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't ugly either.

Chen Yanzhi gave a thumbs up and gave great affirmation.

Qin Heng's eyes were filled with smiles.

Qin Huaishan was wrapping dumplings with his hands, but his eyes were on the opposite side. He was very happy in his heart. The New Year should have a New Year atmosphere and be lively and busy.

Chen Yanzhi rolled out the dough very quickly. When the dough was used up, they still had a lot that had not been wrapped, so he started wrapping some too.

In fact, he was happier than anyone else. It had been many years since his family had spent the New Year with him.

Chen Yanzhi basically lived alone after he became an adult. During the Chinese New Year, he would tell his mother that he was at his father's place, and he would use the same excuse to his father, but in fact he did not go to either place and just spent the Chinese New Year alone.

Maybe his parents noticed it, maybe not. Anyway, no one would ask him again. Maybe they thought it was better for him not to go to avoid trouble.

In this way, he spent many New Years alone.

At first, I felt very ritualistic about making dumplings and cooking New Year’s Eve dinner, but later on, I lost interest in it and just muddled through it by myself.

When you prepare a table full of joy but end up eating it alone, the feeling of loneliness becomes even more obvious.

Chen Yanzhi looked up at his smiling grandfather and Qin Heng who was struggling seriously with the dumpling skins, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The loneliness at that moment seemed to be compensated at this moment.

After the dumplings are wrapped, put them directly into the pot and cook. Lunch is dumplings stuffed with shrimp and corn meat.

After eating, Qin Heng played chess with his grandfather, and Chen Yanzhi watched from the side, occasionally feeding him some fruit or something.

After watching for a while, he decided to go to the kitchen.

We will start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon. Actually, the chef at home has almost prepared everything, but Chen Yanzhi still wants to make one or two dishes himself for good luck.

As soon as he stood up, the expression on his face froze. He saw a familiar person walking towards the door from a distance.

"He's here." Chen Yanzhi sat back and poked Qin Heng's arm.

After listening to him, Qin Heng put down the chess piece, turned around and looked outside, just in time to see Qin Mingqian coming in, and turned back with an expressionless face.

"Dad, I'm back to spend the New Year with you." Qin Mingqian said to the old man on his right with a smile, holding something in his hand.

Qin Huaishan sighed. It was New Year’s Day and everyone was back, so they couldn’t kick him out.

He glanced at his grandson and gave Chen Yanzhi a helpless look.

Chen Yanzhi understood immediately and immediately took Qin Heng's hand, "Let's go to the kitchen and take a look. Can you help me?"

Qin Heng nodded to his grandfather, without even glancing at the person beside him, and followed Chen Yanzhi out.

"Smile." After walking away, Chen Yanzhi held Qin Heng's face with both hands and poked his cheek with his thumb.

Qin Heng held his hand, kissed the back of his hand, and smiled relaxedly, "I'm fine, I just don't want to see him."

Chen Yanzhi took another careful look and made sure that there was no problem before happily pulling the person into the kitchen.

In fact, there was really nothing that Qin Heng could do. The dishes were already prepared and he just had to put them in the pot. So Qin Heng just watched from the side and acted as a photographer at the same time.

His latest hobby is taking pictures of Chen Yanzhi, and his phone album is full of photos of his boyfriend in different scenes and angles.

Once everyone sits down at the table, the New Year’s Eve dinner begins.

It's just that there's one more person, and the atmosphere is a little bit unpleasant. It should have been lively and joyful, but it was a little bit awkward.

"On New Year's Eve, we should get rid of worries and welcome hope. I wish us all a better and better year. Cheers!" Chen Yanzhi raised his glass first, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"I will." Qin Heng turned his head and looked at him with a smile, then raised his glass and clinked it with his.

"Yanzhi said it well, the New Year should bring new atmosphere." Qin Huaishan also raised his glass happily.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, and the two dishes made by Chen Yanzhi were praised by everyone. We enjoyed the meal very much.

Only halfway through the meal, Qin Mingqian, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Dad, Xiaoxu is doing well in his career abroad, but he still thinks about his family. So he plans to return to China to develop his career."

No one answered.

Xiao Xu? Could it be that illegitimate child? Chen Yanzhi pricked up his ears to listen to what he wanted to say.

Qin Huaishan was eating the food seriously without stopping, so I don't know if he heard it or not.

Qin Mingqian looked at him and could only continue, "Xiao Xu is also your grandson. Now that he is back, he must contribute to the family company, don't you think?"

"I do have two grandsons." Qin Huaishan put down his chopsticks, glanced at him calmly, turned his head and pointed at Chen Yanzhi and Qin Heng, and said, "They are all sitting here."

When Qin Mingqian heard the word "two grandsons", the corners of his mouth immediately curled up a little, but after hearing the following words, his expression froze again.

"Dad!" Qin Mingqian was so excited that his voice was a little louder. He wanted to say something, but Qin Huaishan gave him a look that made him shut up.

"No need to say more. My grandchildren are only Ah Heng and Yan Zhi. As for the others, I will never acknowledge them."
