give me a hug

"Auntie... Liang Suinian is not at home, he just went shopping..."

Xie Jiaran never thought that he would meet his parents in such a sudden situation, neither advancing nor retreating, he could only stand there helplessly, not knowing where to put his hands.

"I'll call him for you and tell him to come back earlier..."

"No, no, I already called him when I came up."

Nian Xuelan probably saw his embarrassment, and took the initiative to show him the things she was carrying in her hand: "It's the holiday, and Auntie brought you some delicious food."

"Auntie, let me come."

Xie Jiaran took the initiative to take it and carried it in for her.

"Hey, be careful, it's a bit heavy."

"It's okay, auntie."

"Hey, good boy."

Nian Xuelan's approaching gaze fell on his face, her smiling eyes crooked: "Thank you."

"Should be."

"Every year I always praise you for how good-looking you are, and every time I use exaggerated words, I think he is joking. I didn't expect that he was serious about everything."

Nian Xuelan did not hesitate to praise: "Of course it is really beautiful."

Xie Jiaran put down the bag, and his hands were empty. Facing Nian Xuelan's straightforward praise, he didn't know where to put his hands, so he could only say no with red ears.

Nian Xuelan suddenly frowned: "Why is there no blood on her face, is she feeling unwell? Are you sick and have a cold?"

Xie Jiaran couldn't tell about the thirsty skin disease, so she just nodded along with the situation: "Well, I have a little cold, but it's okay, auntie, she's almost recovered."

Nian Xuelan clicked her tongue: "Niannian, what's going on, you're not feeling well, and you're left alone at home."

"...Auntie, he just went out to buy food."

"Then you can order takeaway. Just like his father, he can't get his head around. But don't help him talk."

Nian Xuelan took the initiative to hold Xie Jiaran's hand: "Let's sit down first, don't stand if you feel uncomfortable."

It was the first time for Xie Jiaran to be led by an elder like this, and she didn't feel repulsed. Instead, she almost didn't know whether to take the left foot or the right foot when walking.

He obediently sat down on the sofa, looked at the empty cup on the coffee table, suddenly stood up and said, "Auntie, please sit down first, I'll pour you some water."

After speaking, without waiting for Nian Xuelan to stop her, she got up as fast as she could and poured a glass of warm water in front of Nian Xuelan.

I didn't notice that the neckline was wide, and the red marks on the skin revealed by the leaning movement were still there, and it was more obvious when it was set off by the fair skin.

Nian Xuelan accidentally saw it, and was stunned for two seconds, then quickly looked away, reached out to pick up the water glass, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Ranran."

"Auntie, you don't have to be polite to me, you should."

Xie Jiaran really doesn't know how to chat, and she doesn't know how to find topics. Fortunately, Nian Xuelan is good at coping with this kind of situation: "Of course, are you still used to the new house?"

Xie Jiaran didn't know what Liang Suinian said to his mother, and felt a little strange about the word "new home", but nodded obediently: "It's pretty good."

"Used to it."

Nian Xuelan said: "The house was bought in a hurry, and the decoration is ready-made, so there are many details that have not had time to be perfected, so we have to do it slowly. If there is anything missing, tell auntie, and auntie will help you."

This time, both tone and content are very obvious.

Xie Jiaran was a little stunned, but she wasn't sure if it was what he guessed.

Nian Xuelan: "By the way, I heard from Nian Nian that you learned to draw, right?"

Xie Jiaran nodded: "Yes, Auntie."

"Hey, it's good to study art."

Nian Xuelan said cheerfully: "It's a good thing to have an artist in the family. Nian Nian and his father are two science students. Their brain circuits often make me laugh and cry. It's good that you come, and finally you can neutralize their father and son. thinking."

"..."

Xie Jiaran unconsciously clenched her palms, and it became a bit difficult to speak again: "Auntie..."

Nian Xuelan responded with a smile, and stretched out her hand to help him straighten his collar: "However, it is easy to get sick in winter, so pay attention to keeping warm, even if you are at home, remember to wear more clothes."

"If you bully you every year, tell auntie, auntie will help you deal with him, remember that auntie will always stand by your side, okay?"

Gentleness and understanding are always the sharpest blades that can break people's hearts.

The sourness suddenly rushed into the nasal cavity, making the eye sockets red.

Xie Jiaran looked at Nian Xuelan, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, even a monosyllable "good" seemed extremely difficult.

Nian Xuelan pursed her lips and sighed imperceptibly.

Rubbing the top of Xie Jiaran's hair like he would rub his son's head every time, he said softly: "Auntie doesn't know what you like to eat, so she bought some. The cake has a short shelf life, so remember to eat it early."

……

As soon as Liang Suinian opened the door, he heard the uncontrollable laughter of his empress dowager.

Nian Xuelan pulled Xie Jiaran and didn't know what she was talking about. Not only did she smile happily, but Xie Jiaran also pursed her lips and smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

"Mom, are you telling Ranran stand-up comedy?" Liang Suinian changed his shoes and walked in.

"Probably count?" Nian Xuelan said: "I'm telling Ranran about a little miser who watched your father lose money playing mahjong when he was a child, and then climbed up his trousers to the poker table to make trouble."

"Mom." Liang Suinian was really helpless: "It happened so many years ago, can you save me some face?"

Nian Xuelan: "What face do you want, how thick-skinned you are, how can I not know?"

"All right, all right, you're right."

Liang Sunian smiled, still holding the fragrant bag in his hand: "You talk, I'll go in and pack the food first."

"Let me do it."

Xie Jiaran got up and went to pick up the bag: "Brother, you talk to Auntie, and I'll get it."

The bag was a little hot, and Liang Suinian was worried about handing it over to Xie Jiaran, fearing that he would burn it, and was about to say no, when the back of his hand was poked twice.

Xie Jiaran whispered by turning her back: "Brother, let go quickly, your wife needs an excuse to go into the kitchen and calm down."

Liang Suinian couldn't help laughing, and obediently let go.

Xie Jiaran hid in the kitchen to calm down, Liang Suinian smiled, walked to the living room and sat down: "Mom, why did you come so suddenly and didn't say hello in advance?"

"You are reluctant to go home on New Year's Day. It just so happens that your father asked me to pick him up from get off work temporarily. I saw that I could pass by on the way, so I bought some things for you and brought them to you. Let's take a look."

Nian Xuelan teased him: "Why, are you afraid that I will scare your baby?"

"Ah."

Liang Suinian really nodded: "So I hurried back, and I even forgot to buy drinks."

"It hurts so much, why do you have the nerve to bully others when they are sick?"

"?" Liang Suinian raised his eyebrows: "No?"

"I still don't admit it, I've seen it all."

Nian Xuelan reproached her in a tone of reproach: "Of course you have just caught a cold, and your complexion hasn't recovered yet, so you bully them with no rules, do you want to be beaten?"

Liang Suinian turned his head and looked in the direction of the kitchen. After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand what his mother meant by being an adult.

I couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Yeah, you're right, it's all my fault, I promise it won't happen again."

"Don't just promise nicely..."

"Meow~"

A meow interrupted the conversation between mother and son.

Xie Xiaonian was not shy at all, squatting on the ground to watch Nian Xuelan for a while, then jumped on the sofa to continue watching.

Liang Suinian picked it up and handed it to Nian Xuelan: "Mom, let me introduce you to your grandson Xie Xiaonian, do you want to hug him?"

"However, I haven't hugged him yet, so I'm going to hug my grandson?" Nian Xuelan blamed, but still took Xie Xiaonian and hugged her in her arms.

Liang Suinian tugged at Xie Xiaonian's tail, all of them proudly asked: "How about it, Mom, let me exaggerate with you, but isn't it very flattering?"

"Indeed, you're much cuter." Nian Xuelan: "You've got a good eye."

This is true, abducting Xie Jiaran to be her boyfriend, not to mention too much, he can be proud for 1 years.

"It's a holiday this year, so you should take Ranran home early, otherwise your father and I will be bored at home. I have prepared all the recipes, and I promise you will like them."

"Okay." Liang Suinian said, "Mom, remember to clean the piano for me."

Nian Xuelan: "I wipe it every day. Why, plan to give our family a family concert during the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes and no." Liang Suinian said with a smile, "Of course I would like to hear it."

"Okay, remember everything."

Nian Xuelan put on her bag and stood up: "By the way, you know how to play mahjong, right? If you don't, you have to remember to teach, otherwise your cousins ​​will start a fight, and they will empty your wallets together, and Mom will be helpless. "

"Row."

Xie Jiaran finished putting all the dishes on the plate, and vaguely heard the sound of the door opening and closing, turned around to look, and happened to bump into Liang Suinian who wandered in leisurely.

"Mom said she brought a lot of cakes."

Liang Suinian asked: "Have you eaten it? How does it taste? Is it good?"

Xie Jiaran was about to say that the cakes were still in the refrigerator, but Liang Suinian said to himself, "Forget it, let me taste it myself."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and kissed her, with a set of movements flowing smoothly.

"..."

Xie Jiaran's hands were still stained with oil and hadn't been washed, and he didn't dare to touch him, so he could only helplessly freeze in mid-air, raising his head to accept a long kiss.

However, I soon remembered that some parents were still outside!

Xie Jiaran opened his eyes wide, but couldn't push him away, so he just took a bite of it in a hurry

——On the tip of the boyfriend's tongue.

He gasped with a hiss.

Liang Sunian obediently withdrew from the invading territory, aggrieved: "However, why did you bite me?"

"The cake is in the fridge and I haven't eaten it yet!"

Xie Jiaran was upset: "And Auntie is still outside, let's not stay in the kitchen for too long, it's not good."

He urged Liang Sunian to quickly bring out the dishes, but Liang Sunian said that he was in no hurry: "My mother has already left."

"what?"

Xie Jiaran was stunned: "Why so fast, won't Auntie stay and have dinner with us?"

"She was just passing by and was going to pick up my dad from get off work. The driver was waiting downstairs."

"But I haven't said goodbye to Auntie yet."

"It's okay, I'll see you soon during the Chinese New Year."

Liang Suinian smiled and said, "My mother asked me to take you home quickly during the holidays. She has already prepared all the recipes for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"..."

Xie Jiaran suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he whispered, "Brother, you told Auntie about us, right?"

"Yes, I said it on the first day."

Liang Suinian recalled: "At that time, you were still lying in the ward and sleeping on a drip."

Xie Jiaran was startled: "So... early?"

"It's okay, falling in love is a good thing, why hide it?"

Liang Suinian smiled: "And I have the same vision as my mother. If I like it, she will definitely like it too."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Facts have proved that my mother really likes you. Before she left, she complained to me that she couldn't find a chance to hug you. It's a bit of a loss to come here and just hug you for Xie Xiaonian."

Xie Jiaran stared at him for two seconds, then immediately turned and washed his hands: "How long has Auntie been gone? Can I catch up now when I go downstairs?"

The smile in Liang Suinian's eyes became thicker.

"I'm afraid not. My mother probably got in the car and drove a few hundred meters by now."

He took out a paper towel and dried his hands carefully: "Don't worry, I will definitely next time, okay?"

Xie Jiaran said seriously: "I also like Auntie very much."

Liang Suinian bent his lips: "Yes, I know."

Xie Jiaran: "When I go to see my aunt during the Chinese New Year, I must bring a gift."

"it is good."

Liang Suinian rolled up the paper and threw it into the trash can, touched his ears: "But before that, let's meet my brother first?"

Jincheng on New Year's Day will push the excitement to a new climax.

There are people coming and going on the streets, and the grand and splendid decorations of the festival are also visible. The neon lights are shining brightly, and the New Year atmosphere can be seen everywhere.

Liang Suinian expected that today's bustling must be extraordinary, and the hotpot restaurant is the most popular dining place in Jincheng, so he reserved a seat at the hotpot restaurant in advance.

The antique decoration, the semi-open deck, and the lingering fragrance are all the reasons why this store is well received.

Xiao Chi likes this kind of place that looks majestic and tastes down-to-earth the most. As soon as he entered, he dragged Liu Maomao to the booth excitedly like a monkey.

"Brother Liang is still my brother Liang, as bold as ever."

Liang Suinian asked Xie Jiaran to sit on the inside, and sat next to him on the outside: "You're welcome."

"No, no, no, although we are all brothers, we should be polite~"

A group of people happily finished ordering, and when the pot was boiling, Chen Wenyao asked Liang Suinian: "Why does Brother Liang suddenly want to invite us to dinner?"

Xiao Chi sighed: "Student, you are somewhat ignorant when you ask this question, isn't Brother Liang inviting us too much?"

Chen Wenyao: "That's not what I mean, I just feel that today's battle is relatively large, everyone is gathered, and it's quite formal, like a prelude to the announcement of a major event."

Xiao Chi was very nervous: "How do you tell if a hot pot restaurant is formal or not? Let alone during the festival, isn't it because there are many people that make it lively?"

Li Tang, Shen Xuehao, and two insiders looked at each other tacitly, and then looked at Xiao Chi, smiling meaningfully.

Xiao Chi: "Why are you two laughing so obscenely?"

Shen Xuehao: "Young man, I forgive your temporary ignorance."

Li Tang: "I hope you won't laugh more wretchedly than me."

"???"

Xiao Chi was confused, looked at Chen Wenyao, looked at Liu Maomao, and finally turned his attention to Liang Suinian.

As soon as she opened her mouth, a little girl suddenly ran over and stopped beside Liang Sunian, and said crisply, "Brother, can I add a WeChat?"

The little girl was only seven or eight years old, wearing a white woolen hat like a snow doll, holding a mobile phone that obviously did not belong to her, apparently a little puppet ordered by her sister at home.

"Oh, yes, Brother Liang, your charm has reached the point where all age groups can take it all in?"

"Of course, don't look at who our brother Liang is. Do you think the name of Qing University's school grass is fake?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense in front of children."

Liang Suinian looked at the little girl, lazily raised the corners of his mouth, "I'm sorry, little friend, my brother has a boyfriend, so we can't give you WeChat randomly."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chi burst out laughing: "Brother Liang doesn't make up his excuses to lead you so outrageously, does he?"

Liang Suinian smiled and was not in a hurry to refute.

On the contrary, Chen Wenyao and Liu Maomao looked at each other silently, unexpectedly they found the same thing in each other's eyes.

The little girl didn't leave even if she failed, she muttered in a low voice, "It's all right, my aunt said there is one more", then bypassed Liang Suinian and ran to Xie Jiaran's side: "Brother, can you give me your WeChat ID?"

"No way."

Xie Jiaran didn't speak, Liang Suinian said again: "This brother also has a boyfriend."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The little girl failed her aunt's expectations and ran away pouting.

And Xiao Chi, who finally realized what it was until this moment, gradually froze his smile on his face.

With his mouth half open in aphasia, he mechanically turned his head to look at Liang Suinian, then at Xie Jiaran, and then at Liang Suinian.

"..."

"woc..."

"you……"

"Really...???"
