"Buggarati!" Mista shouted excitedly and ran down the stairs, followed by Naranja who also looked excited.Bugarati turned off the heating in his home and was tinkering with the fireplace in the living room that he hadn't used for a long time.Although the ashes on the wooden floor were a mess to clean up, it's Christmas!Once a year, drinking mulled wine and eating apples around the fireplace... no, orange pie is what Christmas should be.

The boys excitedly came to Omega, and Mista grabbed Bugarati's shirt and asked expectantly, "Have you passed the video with Apache?"

"Not yet." Bugarati finally lit the fire, and the rising flame instantly warmed the nearby space, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Start the video! Start the video!" The boys chirped and danced, "We want to say Merry Christmas to Apache!"

Bugarati took out his mobile phone, opened the address book and comforted the noisy sons beside him.As expected by Omega, after connecting to the video, Alpha's eyes were sleepy, and his long silver-white hair was piled messily on top of his head.

But the kids didn't care, as the two boys scrambled to get in front of the camera and yelled "Merry Christmas".

"Apache! Am I the first to wish you a Merry Christmas!"

On the screen, Mista grinned, and the boy looked at him expectantly.Apache got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, you two are the first to wish me a Merry Christmas."

"Yeah!" The little boys clapped their hands, and Naranja squeezed to Mista's side. The two small faces instantly filled the entire LCD screen, "Leo, I want to see snow!"

"Look at the snow!" Mista echoed loudly.

Apache got off the bed and opened the window, pointing the camera at the scenery outside the window.The town is covered in silver, and the overall architectural style is Tudor, which is quite different from the houses in Naples. The sloping roofs are covered with thick snow, and the Alps are in the distance. The mountains under the blue sky are particularly holy.

"Wow!"

The interest of the boys was completely attracted by the heavy snow in the northern mountains. Mista clenched his little fist and said with emotion: "It's amazing! You can bury all Naranga in it!"

"It's amazing! You can bury all of Naranja! But why did my brother bury me?"

"Oh, I just used a metaphor to say that there is a lot of snow!"

"Okay, you two." Apache moved the camera to his face and looked at the boys at home in Naples and asked, "Do you want to come here to play?"

"Yes!" The boys quickly answered in unison.

The corner of Alpha's mouth curled up, and he secretly pointed to Bugarati who had been behind the boys helping to hold up the mobile phone: "Go and ask Dad, ask Dad to bring you to play in the snow."

Omega, who was always smiling and staying out of the way, was suddenly named and became the center of the topic. Before Bucciarati could react, his two sons had already jumped in front of him from left to right, shouting that he was going to the Alps to play in the snow.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely take you to play next year! I will definitely go next year!"

Seeing that the man on the screen was about to be overwhelmed by the joint attack of his two sons, Apache finally spoke again to attract the boys' attention: "Mista! Naranga!"

The boys all turned their heads, and Buccarati had already fallen on the sofa due to the noise.

"I hid the Christmas presents I bought for you two upstairs, did you find it?"

When Mista heard that, his eyes widened immediately, and Naranja also came over: "What did Leo buy for Naranja!"

"Then you have to find it yourself." Apache laughed, "Hurry up, the Christmas treasure hunt begins!"

As soon as the words fell, the boys jumped and ran back upstairs.Buccarati was finally saved, and he breathed a sigh of relief and half leaned on the arm of the sofa, facing himself in the video, tidying up his hair that was just messed up by his sons during the play.

Apaki didn't speak, just smiled and watched him arranging his hair in the video on the other side of the phone.

"What are you laughing at?" Omega secretly glanced at the person on the screen, purposely sternly said, "You have no money, didn't I tell you not to buy gifts?"

"How can it be?" Apaki put down his phone and put it on the desk and began to perform a "dress changing show" for Bugarati, "You bought such a good gift for my parents. My mother likes it so much that you bought it for her." Get that shawl."

"Really?!" Bucciarati looked very happy, "It's as long as your mother likes it, but what about your father? I bought a pen for your father. Has your father ever written it? Is it smooth?"

"I haven't seen my dad yet, he's on duty at the police station." Apache pulled on his sweater and yawned, "I'll deliver breakfast to him later, and then bring your gift there. Do you want to Come with me?"

"How can I go with you?"

"I'm driving the video along the way, you accompany me there."

Bugarati laughed: "Don't be kidding, your dad saw what it looked like."

"I saw it when I saw it. His son is 20 years old, can't he fall in love?"

Apaki walked out of the room as he said that, little Alpha observed from the corner of his eye the smile on the face of Omega on the other end of the video, which was gradually disappearing stiffly, and finally changed the subject with a sigh: "I bought you a gift too."

"Hey!" Bugarati said in surprise, "Did you buy it for me too?"

"I always want to receive something for Christmas, right? Besides, you also gave me a coat." Apache smiled, "It's in your nightstand."

"When did you release it? I don't even know."

The corner of Alpha's mouth turned up, and he deliberately lowered his voice and approached the phone and said, "The last time we had sex together in your room."

Bugarati suppressed a smile and rolled his eyes at the camera.

"Why, don't you go up and look for it?"

"Go up later." Bugarati turned over on the sofa, "Gaido and Naranja are still up there, I'll see you again."

Apache walked into the bathroom, took the toothbrush cup on the side table and prepared to wash up: "Do you want to watch me take a shower?"

Bugarati smiled and said, "No." Omega realized something, and couldn't help but ask again, "Would we wake up your family if we make such noise?"

Apaki shook his head, and answered vaguely with toothpaste foam in his mouth: "There is no one in my house."

"Huh?" Buccarati was a little surprised, "I thought you had a lot of people in your family. Don't your younger brothers and sisters come home for Christmas? They should be young, right?"

Apache spat out the foam in his mouth, and was speechless for a while.He almost forgot the nonsense he said when he applied for the job in order to trick Bucciarati into keeping him. He didn't expect the other party to remember it so clearly.

"I'm sorry, Bugarati, I have to apologize to you." The little Alpha looked up with a solemn expression—if he could ignore the bit of toothpaste sticking to the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I don't have any brothers." Sister, I am an only child."

The Omega in the video blinked his blue eyes twice, and he didn't look as angry as he imagined.Apaki saw Bugarati pouted, and finally he said softly, "It's a good thing I called you back, otherwise your parents would be so lonely at Christmas."

Alas, that was the first thing he thought of.Apaki sighed in his heart. He recalled that Bugarati once mentioned to him that he was very envious of his big family, and the lively family gathered together.He should hate being alone, but he seems to be alone for most of his life so far.

Looking at the gradually silent Buccellati on the opposite side of the video, Apache wiped his face and changed the subject: "My mother baked 'buccellati' yesterday."

"Ugh?"

Alpha smiled: "Probably because she and I often mentioned you, so she did it."

Bugarati couldn't help frowning: "What did you say about me?"

"What can I say about you?" Apache began to go downstairs, "Of course I mean you are a good person, with a good personality and good looks."

When he came to the downstairs restaurant, the little Alpha turned the camera to show Bugarati the unfinished biscuits on the table, and added a sneaky comment: "It's not as delicious as what I made."

Buccarati smiled. He was about to say something when he saw Apache on the screen with a surprised expression on his face.

"mom?"

well? !Almost as soon as Apache blurted out the title, Bugarati jumped up from the sofa and sat upright in place.

A strange female voice came from outside the screen, from far to near.Bugarati felt that he had not been so nervous in his life for a long time.

"Leo, how about a taste, and send some to your dad later."

Someone stuffed a deep-fried round cake into Apaki's mouth, and Buccarati watched the man in the video take a bite of the food and said with a little embarrassment: "I didn't see you in the kitchen, I thought you were sleeping, wasn't you still on duty yesterday?"

"I can't sleep when I'm too old." Bugarati was listening to the mother-child conversation on the other end of the video, when he suddenly saw another silver-white long-haired head squeezed in front of the screen, "What are you doing?"

"Hi... Auntie!"

Apaki was about to move the phone away, but Bugarati had already greeted him nervously at the other end.

"Ah! This is Mr. Bugarati!" The silver-haired woman squeezed into the screen excitedly when she heard the voice, with a face that looked very similar to Apache, with big lavender eyes blinking, "Our family, Leo, thank you for taking care of me! Also, look at the shawl you gave me!"

"Mom! You scared Mr. Bugarati!" The little Alpha on the side seemed not ready for his mother to meet his lover, and while hiding, he stretched out his hand and pushed away the woman who kept pushing.

"What are you doing! I usually ask you to send a photo and you refuse to do so. Today, he took the initiative to say hello to me!"

Send photos?What did Apache say to his parents?Under normal circumstances, there are no parents who are curious about what their child's boss looks like.But Bucciarati forgot one thing, the general boss will not give presents to the parents of subordinates at Christmas.

"Mr. Bugarati, although our Leo has a bad temper, he is still very kind-hearted! Is he doing okay at your house? He used to call me often to ask me how to cook, and how to take care of me. child……"

"Okay Mom! It's okay, it's okay!"

The screen began to shake rapidly, and it seemed that Apache was about to flee the scene.Just when Bugarati was also at a loss for what to do about the situation in front of him, and he didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, a call message from Diablo popped up on the top of the screen.

"Uh... Auntie, I'm sorry, my boss called me."

"Is there still work for Christmas?" The shaking picture finally stopped, and Apaki raised his mobile phone and frowned and asked Bugarati who was far away in Naples.

"I don't know what he wants to do." Bugarati shook his head.

Apaki narrowed his eyes, looking quite dissatisfied, but still obediently said goodbye.

"Remember to open presents, ichliebedich."

what?What did he say at the end?Buccarati didn't understand, but seeing the expression of his mother behind Apache, he always felt that the little bastard said something bad.But he didn't have time to ask any more questions, and Apache cut off the video immediately after he finished speaking.

Bugarati let out a long breath, and 1 reluctantly connected to Diablo's call.

"Hello? Boss."

"Buggarati, first of all I wish you a Merry Christmas."

Ha, so you also know that today is Christmas.Bugarati secretly slandered in his heart.

"Then let me tell you something." Diablo sat at his dining table, staring at the red liquid shaking in his hand, "I plan to open up a special area in the company in the next year as a nursery. Like you If there are children at home who are inconvenient to take care of, you can take them to the company's nursery, and I will hire a kindergarten teacher to come, how about you?"

What nursery?It was built for Terry Hugh.Calling early Christmas morning to arrange work, it looked like Trish must be at her mother's, and Diablo must now be home alone drinking red wine miserably.But why did he tell me?Bugarati suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Boss, I don't mind if you want to set up a nursery room. It's a good thing for married and childbearing employees..."

"That's right! I knew it." Diablo interrupted Bugarati's words suddenly and impassionedly, "So Bugarati, I think this nursery can be handed over to you to manage after it is built. .”

"Oh? Why me?!"

"The whole company knows that you are good at childcare." Diablo said while Bugarati shook his head desperately on the other side of the phone, "When the nursery room is completed, I will let Trish work on the childcare while I am at work. Playing in the living room, don’t you have two younger ones yourself? Are you two sons or two daughters?”

"Two sons."

"Ah, son..." Diablo's voice sounded like his enthusiasm dropped instantly, "Then does your son like playing with dolls?"

"Uh..." Buccarati was speechless for a moment. Look, he wanted to ask Gedo and Nalanja to play house with his daughter. "There must be other employees in the company who gave birth to daughters, right?"

"Aren't I most worried about you? Bugarati, speaking of which, you were the first to accompany me to found the company. You are also responsible for the development of our Passione from a small studio back then to the scale it is today. "

Then you should give me a raise.Bugarati thought to himself.

"But boss, I am very busy with my own sales team, if I also have to manage the nursery..."

"Buggarati." Diablo interrupted himself again, and changed his tone to become more serious. Bugarati couldn't help but roll his eyes, "How old is Almalo, the head of your sales department? I remember he should be retiring in a few years. Bugarati, who do you think is the most likely replacement for him in your department? Don’t think too much, come up after Christmas and let’s work hard.”

Speechless.Diablo hung up the phone, and Bugarati sat on the sofa and counted with his fingers. There are about six years left before the minister retires!

Asshole pink octopus head!In another six years, Terry Hugh will reach puberty!Which adolescent girl would want a jerk dad like you!In addition, doesn't this bastard mean that he will help the nursery for another six years? !

Bugarati wished he could drive to Diablo's house and beat him up, and then slammed the door with a word of Arrivederci.But he can't, at least he can't rush to his boss's house right now, and he still has 27 years to pay off his mortgage.

Mista and Naranga rushed downstairs holding the gifts that Apaki bought for them respectively, and the boys clamored around Bugarati and began to show off to each other excitedly.Mista got a toy pistol, which was very realistic but could not fire bullets. He was a little disappointed. Bugarati comforted him and said that when Apache came back, he asked him to take you to the playground to play shooting games again.Naranja unwrapped the wrapping paper of the gift, and inside was a remote-controlled airplane. The boys immediately decided to go to the garden to play with the airplane.

"Be careful! Don't fly into the pond."

I don't know if I heard Bugarati's reminder, the two boys ran quickly and opened the back door from the kitchen to the garden. Omega remembered that Apache also prepared a gift for himself, so he got up and went upstairs to see what little Alpha secretly hid for himself.

It is a tie bar in the shape of a gold zipper.

Bugarati lay on the bed and raised the small thing in his hand to look left and right.The workmanship is exquisite, and my name is engraved on the back, and the price should not be cheap.

"If you have money, spend it." Omega muttered in a low voice, suddenly jumped up from the bed and walked quickly into the cloakroom.Bugarati hummed a song and opened the cupboard door, holding a tie clip in his hand and comparing his own ties one by one.

Naranga's cry was heard from the garden, and the boys argued again.Buccarati rushed to the window and looked downstairs. As expected, Apache's newly bought remote control plane was floating in the pond.

"Don't move Gedo!" He yelled to stop the eldest son who was trying to get into the water to retrieve the plane, "Nalanga, don't cry too! I'll come down and help you find it now!"

Apaki walked on the way to the only police station in the town with the special Christmas breakfast his mother made for his father in his arms.The sky began to snow again, the weather at the foot of the mountain is always so erratic.There are no people on both sides of the street. Everyone is either staying at home with their families or going to a warm place for vacation together.

He took out his mobile phone and began to scroll through the news in the social software in a bored manner.Sciaro did not go home this year, but stayed in Naples with Ticano, clapping his hands pretentiously at midnight, with the text "the first Christmas together".Mr. Prosciut was pregnant, and he posted the hospital certificate on the Internet. Apaki liked it and left a message of congratulations.Iluso of the same basketball team and his senior boyfriend Holmaggio probably picked up a cat on Christmas Eve. The cat is very cute, but it’s kind of disgusting to say it together. It’s also a new member of the family, you two Didn't get the certificate either... Wait, did they both get the certificate?

Why?Apaki suddenly recalled that in the autumn, he and Shikjaro were working in the garden of Bugarati's house together. The other party was still very envious of his finally reaping love. How long has it been now?It seems that the whole world is moving forward and only I am left in place.

He let out a long sigh, and the heat released from his chest quickly condensed into a white mist in the cold wind.

I wonder if Bruno misses me.

Apaki raised his head and looked at the sky, fine snowflakes fell on his face, and soon melted by his body temperature and turned into water droplets that slid down Alpha's cheeks.
