The landlord is my crush

◎New Year's Eve◎

On New Year's Eve, Nancheng is brightly lit at night.

Sitting in the originally familiar environment, Chen Yuqing felt the strangeness coming.

Father Chen was still holding the newspaper and sitting on the sofa, only showing a head that was about to bald; Chen Cao Xuemei was busy as always, walking between the living room and the kitchen wearing an apron.

Chen Yuqing sat on the sofa at a loss, he only felt that the TV series were dull.

The channel is the one I used to watch at home, but the TV series has changed.

When I left home, the last drama had just picked up, and this time the new drama has already been released for half of its schedule.

It turned out that he had been away from home for so long.

Seeing her brother sighing, Chen Jinxi grabbed a melon seed and poured it into Chen Yuqing's palm, saying, "Brother, eat it, this is the taste chosen by Xiaoxi."

Chen Yuqing tasted it, and it was also creamy, but not as good as Brother Yu's.

Before going back, Chen Yuqing specially bought a red scarf and a lantern to take home as a New Year gift for Chen Jinxi. After receiving the gift, the little girl turned into a little hen, clucking and clucking around Chen Yuqing.

Cao Xuemei didn't make things difficult for him, but she wasn't overly enthusiastic either. She only poured a glass of water after entering the door, and the other mother and son had no interaction.

It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. If possible, he hoped that the reconciliation between their mother and son was not just superficial.

"Xiaoxi!" Chen Guifang shouted from the kitchen, "Come in, grandma made crispy meat, come and taste it."

Now only father and son were left in the living room.

The TV series was at its climax, and the heroine shouted so loudly that Chen Yuqing even hallucinated the echo.

However, Father Chen remained motionless, his hand holding the newspaper was steady.

Chen Yuqing couldn't sit still, and said awkwardly: "I'll go to the kitchen to help."

At this time, Father Chen finally moved. He flipped a page of the newspaper and said, "Sit down."

Chen Yuqing sat down obediently while being surprised, intending to listen to what his usually taciturn father would say to him at this time.

He waited for a while, but in the living room there was still only the TV talking unscrupulously.

Waiting for someone to talk was rather tormented. Chen Yuqing's ass seemed to be stained with ants, and the velvet sofa was uncomfortable.

There is nothing to play with the mobile phone. Moments and spaces are all celebrating the New Year, except for Gong Xi Fa Cai, which is a red envelope.

There are also people who give out red envelopes in the space, and Chen Yu whores Huang Zuan innocently for a few days, commenting "Thank you boss" under the words of others.

Yu Yao Space has been growing grass for thousands of years, but the circle of friends is frequently updated, and the latest one has just been posted, and there is only one photo.

The content of the photo is also very simple and rude: five unopened red envelopes are squeezed in one hand.Chen Yuqing checked it and confirmed that it was Yu Yao's hand.

There should be a lot of people commenting on Yu Yao, and their mutual friends alone all liked it.

Chen Yuqing followed suit and liked it. Just as he clicked on the comment, Father Chen suddenly coughed.

Chen Yuqing looked up, and saw a flat red envelope placed on the coffee table at some point.

"dad?"

Father Chen trembled, coughed again, and lowered his voice: "Take it, don't let your mother know."

He looked so much like the spy movies Chen Yuqing watched when he was a child, so that he also became nervous.

Chen Yuqing looked around but did not see Cao Xuemei's figure, reached out and quickly brought the red envelope into his bosom, squeezed it, it was hard and thin.

He deliberately found an angle with his back to the kitchen door, bent down and prepared to open the red envelope.

He guessed right, it was a card.

"Dad, this is..."

Father Chen moved the newspaper away, showing panic on his face, and said, "Shh, private money." Seeing Chen Yuqing nodding, he quickly pulled the newspaper back up.

Chen Yuqing: "..."

I have never seen such a father, it seems that he knows too little about his family.

After the card was accepted, the father and son kept silent tacitly. Cao Xuemei didn't notice anything unusual when she came out of the kitchen, but instead scolded Father Chen for not talking to his son properly.

Chen Yuqing laughed awkwardly, and said that the two of them had already chatted for a round.

Around eight o'clock, everyone sat at the dining table and turned on the TV to prepare for dinner.

The Spring Festival Gala started on time, and a few people watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating. They didn't talk about family affairs, nor did they mention Chen Yuqing. They just chatted occasionally about the Spring Festival Gala program.

It's not that the dishes are not tasty, Chen Guifang cooks all the dishes in person, Chen Yuqing eats them very well, and the vacancy rate is also gratifying.

Probably because the food is so delicious, the family members don't talk much.

In the middle of the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Jinxi lay on the iron fence of the window and exclaimed. Chen Yuqing instantly understood: the fireworks display in the suburbs of Nancheng had begun.

This is a tradition that Nancheng has always preserved. Fireworks that are not allowed in the urban area can be moved to the suburbs, and they can be enjoyed in a fixed place and a fixed time period. Every year, it starts almost halfway through the Spring Festival Gala.

The first thing to appear is the official fireworks array, which is neatly shaped but not full of patterns. After more than ten minutes, individual fireworks will rise into the night sky one after another, which is called a hundred flowers blooming.

Chen Yuqing took Chen Jinxi up to the rooftop to see enough, Chen Jinxi clapped her hands while watching, the fireworks stopped and yelled to set it off by herself.Chen Yuqing picked her up, knelt down and said mysteriously: "No, you will be arrested if you set off fireworks here."

Chen Jinxi has always been unable to do anything about her brother's coaxing, especially at this time Chen Yuqing said it seriously. Although she didn't fully believe it, she also knew that it was impossible to set off fireworks, so she pouted and stopped making trouble.

However, Chen Yuqing said again: "You can't put it here, my brother will take you to another place."

After a while, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the community. Chen Yuqing got into the taxi with his younger sister, and slipped out with the adults on his back.

It wasn't Chen Yu Qingyong, but when he was sharing fireworks with Yu Hao on the rooftop just now, Yu Hao asked him if he wanted to set off fireworks.

Chen Yuqing didn't really think about it. Although Chen Jinxi wanted to set off fireworks, it was too unsafe for two minors to go out to set off fireworks at night, and it was unrealistic to ask the adults at home to accompany them. It was not realistic to ask grandma to be afraid that grandma would be tired. Dare, it's even more impossible to call Cao Xuemei.

But the video posted by Yu Yao is too tempting.

It's not that the fireworks in the video are alluring, but Yu Yao said in the video: "Come to my house to set off fireworks? The kind that manages enough."

It just so happened that Chen Jinxi wanted to let go, but Chen Yuqing couldn't resist the temptation and sent a "yes" by mistake.

Yu Yao waved his hand to send a location, and Chen Yuqing became more and more determined to go.

So he slipped downstairs with his younger sister and called Chen Guifang when the car was far away.

It's not that Chen Guifang spoils children without principles. She scolded Chen Yuqing first, and then asked him, "Whose house are you going to?"

Chen Yuqing replied: "Brother Yu's house is not far from here."

Grandma Chen was silent for a while, then shouted: "Don't come back, sleep there!"

Then the phone hung up, leaving no time for Chen Yuqing to talk.

Chen Yuqing was secretly delighted that his grandma was smart enough to scold him in front of Cao Xuemei, so Cao Xuemei had nothing to say.

This was indeed the case, until the car arrived at the destination, Cao Xuemei did not call him.

Chen Yuqing was happy and quiet, and took her sister for a short distance, and sure enough, she saw Yu Yao who was waiting under the street lamp.

He actually lied to his grandma on the phone. Yu Yao’s house was not a short distance from his house, and the taxi drove for four or ten minutes before stopping.

It was almost nine o'clock at this time, there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road, and the sound of firecrackers was rarely heard.

Yu Yao waited under the street lamp and held his hands, white air rose into the sky in a cloud, returning to nothingness in the silent night, Chen Yuqing was in a trance.

When I first met Yu Yao, Yu Hao was also like this, rubbing his hands and waiting under the street lamp, his whole body immersed in the bright light, as if he was specially here to rescue him.

A bit of coldness fell on his cheeks, Chen Yuqing stretched out his hand, and a small ball of snowflakes fell on his palm, which melted at the touch of his hand.

"Hey, Chen Yuqing, how long are you going to stand?" Yu Yao asked suddenly.

Chen Yuqing pulled up the scarf a bit, adjusted Chen Jinxi's hat, and ran quickly to Yu Huang's place, and followed Yu Huang.

"It's snowing heavily." Chen Yuqing said.

Yu Yao walked side by side with him, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence you came."

The two brothers and sisters entered a villa area with Yu Hao. This villa area is much more upscale than the one Yu Hao took him to last time, and it is also more lively. Only a few buildings are dark, and the others include small roads. , All lit up the bright lights.

Although many lights were turned on in the building where Yu Yao entered, there were no people there, only a few servants were busy going out.

They were taken to the small garden in the backyard of the villa and sat down. Yu Yao poured hot tea for the brothers and sisters, and then called someone to bring all kinds of fireworks suitable for children.

Most of them were fairy sticks, so Chen Jinxi laughed out loud, resisting the urge to rush out, turned around and asked his brother if he could go to set off the fireworks.

Chen Yuqing glanced at Yu Yao, and Chen Jinxi cleverly followed her brother to look at the handsome brother he had just met, seeing him nodding, immediately ran happily to the maid's feet.

The maid was also trained, and she helped Chen Jinxi unpack the fairy wand thoughtfully, lit the fire and stuffed it into her hand.

Looking at the little girl running around in the yard, Yu Yao laughed out loud and said, "Your sister is quite similar to you."

Before Chen Yuqing had time to feel embarrassed, Yu Yao said again: "As stupid as you."

"..."

The maid on the side covered her mouth and said, "It's not stupid, it's cute."

The idiot Chen Yuqing did play fairy wands with his sister later, and a not-so-stupid-looking Yu Yao was mixed in with them. The three of them ran in circles in the backyard waving fairy wands. The scene was quite spectacular.

Later, when Chen Jinxi was tired from playing, Yu Yao took them into the house to rest. The air conditioner in the room was hot, and after a while, Chen Jinxi pulled down the zipper of the down jacket.

Chen Yuqing also felt hot. He was afraid that Chen Jinxi would catch a cold, so he helped her to close the zipper, and then fed her fruit. Chen Jinxi really became quiet.

Yu Yao watched with relish, and teased, "You're a pretty good brother."

"Absolutely." Of course, being praised by someone you like would be embarrassing, so Chen Yuqing changed the subject and said, "Are you the only one living here?"

As soon as the words came out of the mouth, Chen Yuqing regretted it, and later realized that this was not a good question.He and Yu Hao haven't gotten to know each other enough to interfere with family issues. Although he doesn't care, Yu Hao doesn't necessarily have to. After all, he has never mentioned family in front of him.

Even if there are signs of "there is a problem with the family" all over Yu Yao's body.

But Yu Yao looked as usual, stuffed a longan into his mouth, and said: "My grandma and I, the old lady went to play cards next door, and we won't be back for a while."

"It's you," Yu Yan vomited and continued, "How about staying with your sister, it's not safe to go back now."

Chen Yu's starry eyes: I can't ask for it.
