"Ruirui, come, let's play for mom." After playing all morning, Bai Yuzhen lost a lot, and seeing Zang Bai seemed to have seen a savior.

"Don't call him, we played just right." Lin Bochuan played a card with confidence.

"No, you're too good at playing. If you keep playing, I'm going to lose it all." As soon as the words fell, Bai Yuzhen fired Lin Bochuan's cannon again, "Oh, look, he caught you! My card game."

"It's the new year, when you give the red envelope to the junior." Lin Bochuan happily put away the chips.

"I've never seen such a shameless junior like you." Zang Bai walked over and took his mother's place, "You know how to bully my mother."

Lin Bochuan smiled: "It's not just your mother."

"..."

On New Year's Eve, all projects and houses are put aside for the time being, and the whole Lin family is filled with a relaxed and happy Chinese New Year atmosphere.

From time to time, there is a scent wafting from the kitchen. The chef is going home to celebrate the New Year with his family at night, and he has to cook tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner before dark.The phone in the living room rang from time to time, and Uncle Hua couldn't keep up with it, it was all New Year's greetings.

Not long after, Mother Lin threw down the cards and lost her temper for no reason.Everyone knew about her situation. After Uncle Hua coaxed her down, Hua Xiaohao sat up.

Zang Bai's card skills are not much better than his mother's, anyway, he loses more and wins less.When he and Lin Bochuan met each other, the other party wore a meaningful smile.I don't know if he is laughing at his poor card skills, or something else.

Instead of going to see Lin Bochuan, he found a topic and asked Hua Xiaohao: "Where's your elder brother, are you coming home to celebrate the New Year?"

Zang Bai knew that Uncle Hua had an older son, who was the same age as Lin Bochuan, and a Beta like Uncle Hua.He would occasionally hear one or two sentences about him, no matter how he thought he should be very close to Lin Bochuan, the strange thing was that they had been married for so long, and Zang Bai had never met this person once.

"Hua Lihui? No, he's gone on a trip...Two barrels." Hua Xiaohao concentrated on looking at the cards in his hand, dividing them into three and stacking them together.

"Traveling during Chinese New Year?"

"It's not like he's so nervous today..."

"How do you talk?" Mrs. Hua shut up her son who was talking nonsense, and explained, "His elder brother doesn't like excitement, and he usually doesn't participate in this kind of family festival gathering. He is usually busy with work and has no time to relax. Whenever there is a holiday , and ran out to play."

Hua Xiaohao raised his nose: "I think he just doesn't want to see my brother." This brother refers to Lin Bochuan.

"I think the last thing he wants to see is you." Mrs. Hua is an Alpha, and she is usually serious and steady, but once she raised her young son, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't stop talking, "Look at you and Li Hui How can you look like a real brother? Your brother is so good, look at you again, if you Lin brother didn't give you a meal, I think you have to go to the street to pick up garbage..."

While Mrs. Hua was educating Hua Xiaohao, Zang Bai watched Lin Bochuan sideways.His face sank like water, the joy of the festival just now had dissipated from his face, as if because of the mention of Hua Lihui's name, it seemed that the two really had some festivities.

On New Year's Eve, the seaside is far away from the city center, and there is no place to set off the whip. Before it gets dark, there are already ping-pong-pong sounds down the mountain.

The long dining table in the restaurant was filled with delicacies, and it was rarely the first time that it was full of people.Even Uncle Hua lamented that this year's Spring Festival was really lively, and there hasn't been such a lively New Year's Eve dinner in many years.After two glasses of wine, he became emotional again, saying that the young master got married, it was really different.I also feel in my heart that even if it is just a marriage that is suitable for each other, it is better than nothing. At his age, his wife has become a wife, and he can best understand the meaning of companionship.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside became intense, Hua Xiaohao couldn't wait at first, and couldn't bear to part with the good food on the table, but he ate too much.

Mrs. Hua grabbed her and said, "Do you have any rules?"

While beating his chest and cheeks, Hua Xiaohao said inarticulately: "Mom, I have something to go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"What's so important about you that you can't even have a good reunion dinner?"

Hua Xiaohao struggled with his hands as if he couldn't explain clearly to you.

Lin Bochuan said lightly, "Yu Youxing came to see you."

"Who is Yu Youxing?" Mrs. Hua turned to Lin Bochuan and asked.

Hua Xiaohao waved his hands vigorously, Lin Bochuan smiled and said nothing, Hua Xiaohao took the opportunity to break free from Mrs. Hua's clutches, and ran away.

After dinner, Lin Bochuan said: "Xiaohao said he went to buy fireworks, let's go to the beach to set them off."

"You young people go to play by yourself, and we old bones will not bother you." Uncle Hua said, "The seaside is windy, so go out and wear thicker clothes."

"Mom, are you going?" Zang Bai knew that his mother was a playful person, so he also asked.

Seeing Uncle Hua and her winking, Bai Yuzhen immediately understood: "No, no, we still have to watch the Spring Festival Gala while playing cards. Play by yourself, be careful."

Lin Bochuan just glanced at Zang Bai without saying anything, and Zang Bai tacitly followed his footsteps.

Walking from his house to the foot of the mountain, there will be a cliff halfway. Below the cliff is the sea water that keeps crashing against the rock wall. This place has an excellent view. On the right is the endless sea. Right in front of the river's estuary, on the other side is the brightly lit sea. urban area.This road is a private road leading to Lin Bochuan's house, and there are usually no people there, so it is an excellent place to set off cannons.

Hua Xiaohao and the others have arrived, and Yu Youxing is instructing him to move the cannon box out of the trunk and put it in a suitable place.Seeing Lin Bochuan coming with Zang Bai, he left Hua Xiaohao behind and came over to say hello.

"Brother Lin, Brother Xiaobai, Happy Chinese New Year."

Lin Bochuan has met people before, but this is the first time Yu Youxing and Zang Bai have met.Lin Bochuan was about to introduce him, but Yu Youxing didn't give him this opportunity, so he introduced himself: "My name is Yu Youxing, and I'm Xiaohao's boyfriend. Call me Xiaoyu. I've heard of you a long time ago, Brother Xiaobai."

"Why don't you go and sit at home?"

Yu Youxing didn't look outside at all, and said frankly: "Aren't Xiaohao's parents also here, we haven't reached the time to meet our parents yet."

Lin Bochuan smiled: "Actually, it's almost the same, his parents already know you."

Yu Youxing suddenly said worriedly: "That's not the time yet, at least I have to wait for Xiaohao to know what it means to meet his parents. With his current virtue, he thinks he's playing tricks."

Hua Xiaohao finished it and shouted: "Xing Xing, the lighter is with you, come quickly and light it."

Yu Youxing took out a lighter: "Are you going to light one?"

"Come on, let's watch for a while."

Yu Youxing trotted over to light the fire, and when it was finished, Hua Xiaohao pulled him away, and soon the bright fire rose, and exploded in the night sky.

Lin Bochuan and Zang Bai stood in a higher and safe position, not only being able to watch the fireworks in all directions, but also clearly seeing the young couple below.

The two stood next to each other, every time the fire came up, Hua Xiaohao would cover Yu Youxing's ears.The seaside was windy, so Hua Xiaohao opened up his long down jacket, wrapped the short Yu Youxing in his arms, and the two shadows under the street lamp gradually folded into one.

They might want to get closer, but Zang Bai and Lin Bochuan are still behind them.

Lin Bochuan stopped looking at the fireworks in the sky for a long time, but looked at the young couple on the side of the road, and felt that their age is so good in love, pure and clean, they can get close to each other without any scruples, and he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

He subconsciously looked sideways, Zang Bai raised his chin slightly, and looked at the night sky intently, the embers of the fireworks reflected in his pupils, like falling meteors.The firelight illuminated and extinguished his face, which was so close to him that it seemed to be within reach, but it was so far away.

Lin Bochuan couldn't help thinking, if there hadn't been that incident back then, if he hadn't hurt Zang Bai like that, whether they could have pure feelings like others.

Another cluster of fireworks rose into the sky, and after a moment of gorgeous blooming, they instantly turned into ashes, just like Lin Bochuan's delusion.Impossible, what has happened, even the assumptions do not exist.

Lin Bochuan kept looking at him, neither moving nor speaking.Zang Bai got impatient with waiting, rubbed his cold hands that had been placed outside, brought his mouth closer to breathe, and sighed: "Little lovers are really tired."

"Ah."

Zang Bai turned his head to look at Lin Bochuan, and asked curiously, "How did you know Xiao Yu?"

"In the summer vacation of the first half of the year, he was an intern at Lin Sheng's legal department."

"They also met in Linsheng?"

"should be."

To be able to practice in the Linsheng legal department, one must either have strong connections or be a talented student from a top domestic university. No matter what, Hua Xiaohao, an Alpha driver who is a college dropout, is not worthy of him.

"I really didn't realize that the idiot is quite capable in some aspects." Zang Bai admired sincerely, "So, Xiao Yu is still older than Xiao Hao?"

"Two years older."

When these words came out, the two of them fell silent together.Zang Bai is also two years older than Lin Bochuan.

Lin Bochuan coughed lightly, and said, "It's better to be bigger... You see, Xiao Yu is much more sensible than Xiao Hao..."

"……Um……"

Following these words, Zang Bai cast his eyes on Xiao Yu and Xiao Hao below.Their cannons had been fired, but further away, along the banks of the river and the coast, there were still fireworks.Under the street lamp, two enthusiastic young people, the sweetness in their hearts finally overwhelmed the shame of being present, hugged and kissed each other behind the lamp post.

Night, fireworks, the smell of salty sea water, and a pair of young lovers constitute a sweet and beautiful picture.

Zang Bai's eyes were attracted, and his cheeks gradually became hot.

Lin Bochuan approached, rubbing his arms against each other, he finally took Zang Bai's hand: "Your hands are so cold."

Zang Bai withdrew his gaze: "It's a bit cold."

"You, what, stand over..."

Zang Bai stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, Lin Bochuan followed Hua Xiaohao's example, opened his coat, and wrapped Zang Bai up.

Lin Bochuan's embrace was broad, firm and warm. The two exchanged body temperature, and their heart beat faster and faster when they were stuck together.Lin Bochuan lowered his eyes, looking at Zang Bai's face with infinite tenderness, his gaze swept every inch from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and finally stopped on his lips.He swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly: "Zang Bai, I, I can..."

Zang Bai was waiting for Lin Bochuan's next words, his heart throbbing with pain.

At this time, the phone in the coat pocket started to vibrate, Lin Bochuan was taken aback, but still picked up the phone.

Uncle Hua said anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Go home quickly, Madam is ill."
