On New Year's Eve, at the gate of the orphanage, Chu Chu came down from the taxi with two big bags. Qin Yi hurried forward to take the toys and clothes from Chu Chu's hands, smiling, "Why don't you ask me to pick you up! My son!" They must be very happy and have another gift."

Chu Chu coughed dryly, and silently followed behind Qin Yi without making a sound.

After entering the door, more than a dozen children gathered around, cheering and smiling, especially when they saw the toys in Qin Yi's hands, they danced happily.

Qin Yi handed out the toys, looked back at Chu Chu, and said to the children with a smile: "I didn't buy these toys, but the one next to you. What should you say when you receive the gifts!"

"Thank you, Brother Chu!" "Thank you for the gift!" The children who got the toy bowed to Chu Chu in unison to say thank you.

Looking at the faces brimming with happiness, Chu Chu stood behind Qin Yi, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and his mood became joyful.

Being dragged into the kitchen by the children, the dean was meeting with several aunts, "Brother Chu, come make dumplings with us! There are those stuffed with green onions, leeks, and mushrooms and eggs. Brother Chu, would you like to make dumplings?" Can you make dumplings? Come make dumplings with us, it's fun!"

As they said that, the children washed their hands excitedly, ran to the principal, kneaded the dough vigorously, and had a great time playing.

The dean looked up at Chu Chu with a smile on his face, "Finally I'm looking forward to you, come eat dumplings with us later, it's so crowded!"

Qin Yi followed in, rolled up his sleeves, stood in front of the chopping board and chopped pork, glanced at the vegetables beside him, and calmly commanded Chu Chu, "Do me a favor, wash these and make stuffing later."

In the kitchen, everyone was busy with work, even the children were working hard, only Chu Chu was left standing in the center, which looked a bit strange.Thinking of this, Chu Chu put the vegetables in the basket under the faucet and tried to clean them.

Just as Chu Chu picked up the scallions, someone suddenly approached behind him. He reached out to roll up his cuffs for him, and then his hand was held by the other party, and he whispered in his ear, "You can only wash it like this." While talking, Qin Yi turned Looking up at him, there is a deep warmth in the eyes.

Chu Chu stiffened his body and did not dare to move, allowing Qin Yi to stick up, covering the backs of his hands with his hands, washing the vegetables carefully, the warm water passing by and winding down the backs of his hands, which made Chu Chu shudder , carefully adjusted the disordered breathing, for fear of being spotted by the other party.

For Chu Chu, every second passed very long, and time seemed to stop. Realizing that the two of them were too intimate, just as Chu Chu was about to speak, Qin Yi suddenly stepped back, let go of his hand, and turned around to fiddle with the minced meat in his hand .

Chu Chu breathed out, his stiff back was finally relaxed, but he still didn't dare to turn his head to look at someone, as if he would reveal something if he turned his head and met Qin Yi's gaze.

After working for a while, the dumpling wrappers were finally finished, Qin Yi also adjusted the fillings, and it was time to start making dumplings.Standing beside him, Qin Yi suddenly turned sideways and asked Chu Chu, "Do you need a demonstration?"

Chu Chu glanced at the other party, but did not make a sound, calmly picked up the dumpling wrapper, put the meat filling in it, and kneaded it into a ball.Seeing Chu Chu's dumplings, the children on the side covered their mouths and laughed, "Brother Chu doesn't know how to make dumplings, haha!"

Qin Yi glanced at the dumplings made by Chu Chu, held back his laughter, and just said, "Shaomai is also good!"

"No, no, we don't eat siu mai, we want dumplings!" Several children surrounded Qin Yi, looked left and right at Chu Chu's unique dumpling shape, stretched out their hands to pinch, and shouted in unison.

Chu Chu stared at the dumplings he had made, and then at Qin Yi's. His appearance was a little strange. In order to hide his embarrassment, he could only lower his head and continue to try again. Naturally, he couldn't trouble him with such trivial matters as making dumplings. Very confident in myself.

However, things backfired.After several unsuccessful attempts, Chu Chu finally gave up the complicated task of making dumplings and turned to cooking dumplings.Wait for the water in the pot to boil, put the dumplings in, add cold water 2 times, then take the dumplings out.After Qin Yi's brief introduction, Chu Chu officially implemented it.

The first step of boiling the water went smoothly, but something happened when the dumplings were poured into the pot.Chu Chu poured all the dumplings in with a single brain, and the hot water splashed onto his hands. Chu Chu immediately withdrew his hands, stared at the sticky dumplings in the pot, and frowned slightly.

Seeing Chu Chu standing there blankly, Qin Yi leaned over to look into the pot, quickly pushed the dumplings away with a spatula, and then added some cold water.

Qin Yi turned around, saw Chu Chu secretly hiding his hand behind his back, instantly understood what was going on, gave him a cold look, then pulled the hot red hand out from behind Chu Chu, grabbed it under the faucet, and rinsed it with cold water. for several minutes.

Looking at Qin Yi's side face, Chu Chu couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he just looked at each other like this, reluctant to look away, the surroundings became quiet, as if they were the only ones in this world, but they were so warm .

The dumplings were finally cooked. Everyone was sitting together in the cafeteria. The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV. The host wished the audience a happy Chinese New Year in rhythm.

Although it is in a simple cafeteria with only a few tables and chairs and a TV set, and there are no delicacies on the table, just a few home-cooked dishes, but sitting here, Chu Chu still feels the happiness and warmth of the Chinese New Year, and can't help but sigh. The corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. The dean picked up the liquor and thanked Chu Chu repeatedly, "Mr. Chu, thank you very much for sending Xiao Mo to the hospital last time, thanks to you..."

Qin Yi jokingly said, "No! Speaking of which, I also have to toast to the leader, not only for Xiao Mo, but also for the care of the general manager in the past few months." After speaking, Qin Yi also raised his hand. The wine, smiled jokingly at Chu Chu, raised his head and drank it down, very simply.

Chu Chu was about to pay back to the dean, Qin Yi held down his wrist, and explained to the dean, "Chu Chu's body is not suitable for drinking, as long as he wants to." After speaking, he poured him a glass of orange juice.

Glancing sideways at Qin Yi, Chu Chu pursed her lips, as if she didn't appreciate it, approached slightly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Midget your own business!"

The dean was very relieved to see the two of them getting close and whispering, "I'm so happy for you to see that your relationship is so good! You two are good children, and you should help each other in the future."

Hearing the dean's words, Chu Chu paused, and hurriedly sat up straight. He wanted to refute immediately but couldn't find anything to say, so he could only keep silent.

Qin Yi, on the other hand, replied happily: "We have always had a good relationship. We will love each other in the future. Sorry, I used the wrong word. It means helping each other."

As Qin Yi said, he turned his head and took a deep look at Chu Chu, with a smile in his eyes, "We are not only a superior-subordinate relationship, but also very close friends."

The dean nodded, "Qin Yi doesn't have many friends, and Mr. Chu is a very kind person. It is also a kind of fate that you can meet and become good friends!"

Qin Yi followed suit, tilting his head and asking Chu Chu, "The fate is not shallow, and we should really cherish it! Chu Chu, don't you think so?"

In front of so many people, Chu Chu was not easy to get angry, so he could only suppress the displeasure in his chest, and glared at Qin Yi with warning and dissatisfaction.

After the meal, everyone came to the yard together. When they heard that fireworks could be set off, the children were the happiest. They happily grabbed all kinds of fireworks and ran to the center of the yard and couldn't wait to light them.

In the dark night sky, clusters of fireworks bloomed one after another, with gorgeous colors and brilliance, which embellished the night sky very eye-catchingly. The children's laughter and cheers made the yard immediately lively.

"Would you like to come and play?" Qin Yi raised his hands to Chu Chu with several colorful fireworks.Chu Chu Baobi stood at the door, looked at him with disgust, and clearly refused.

Qin Yi smiled lightly, and went to the yard to set off fireworks with those children. He seemed to be having a good time, and the smile on his face was bright.

Chu Chu watched silently on the spot. When the fire was lit, Qin would remind the children to stay away. When the fireworks exploded, he would look up at the sky with the children, and would hold the children's hands and hold the firework sticks in circles. .

The figure of the other party is hidden in the bright light, the smile is beautiful, and there is a kind of exciting charm.

Staring at Qin Yi for a moment, Chu Chu didn't notice it, he was so engrossed that he didn't even know when the dean was standing beside him.

The dean looked at the happy scene in the courtyard with loving eyes, and suddenly said with emotion: "Qin Yi is a child with a lot of thoughts, and many things are hidden in his heart. He has been unable to let go of the death of his parents for so many years. It's a bit extreme. However, the essence is kind and will not take the initiative to harm others. I am very relieved that Mr. Chu is by his side, and I hope you can persuade him to let the past go, don't be too obsessed!"

Chu Chu was silent for a while, looked at Qin Yi's figure, and slowly said: "Actually, I don't know him very often."

The dean sighed, with a look of worry on his face, and then continued: "I can see that Qin Yi treats you differently. I believe that he will listen to your words. I only hope that no matter what happens in the future, he will You can live comfortably." As if hesitating to speak, the dean just shook his head, did not intend to continue, and slowly entered the room.

Looking at Qin Yi's cheerful smiling face in the yard, Chu Chu fell into deep thought.After a long time, someone patted him on the shoulder, and Qin Yi stood beside him, smiling slightly, "Why are you in a daze! Keep staring at me, I'm so pretty?" Chu Chu pouted, with contempt in his eyes.

Qin Yi moved closer, and stood with Chu Chu, watching the dazzling fireworks disappearing in the night sky, "The more beautiful things are, the shorter they are, the harder they are to grasp."

"Why do you suddenly have such a feeling?" Chu Chu smiled disapprovingly, "Lawyer Qin is not like a person who grieves for the spring and the autumn!"

Qin Yi didn't speak, but just held Chu Chu's hand very tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.Chu Chu was startled, and hurriedly pulled back, with an unhappy expression, looking at the other party with a cold look.

Qin Yi suddenly let go, looking at the night sky above, with a very lonely expression, and whispered to himself, "It's like it's hard for me to catch you!"
