Half way

After Gu Sheng arrived home, his mother and younger sister blocked him at the door to pick him up, but from their eager eyes, Gu Sheng reckoned that they were not picking him up, but Lin Yan. Unfortunately, Lin Yan didn't come back with him.

"What about the banquet?"

Gu's mother looked into the car, but there was nothing there, and she was stunned.

"Someone picked him up temporarily at his house, and he asked me to apologize to you and say Happy New Year."

When Gu's mother heard this, although she was a little disappointed, it was normal for someone else's family to pick up Lin Yan.

"That's only next time, next time you must remember to bring him back."

Gu's mother pulled Gu Sheng and said earnestly, but Gu Sheng didn't refute her, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Xiao followed Gu Sheng, and asked gossipingly: "Brother, I heard from my mother that you are bringing my sister-in-law back. Did you make my sister-in-law angry? That's why he didn't come back with you."

"Don't talk nonsense, just friends."

Gu Xiao completely ignored Gu Sheng's words, "Hmph, brother, you're just a coward."

"I've never heard that you will bring people back during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Sheng glanced at Gu Xiao lightly, and said, "Did you treat your brother Cheng Zi as a dog?"

Gu Xiao paused until Gu Sheng went in with her luggage before she realized that her brother was joking with her!

"Hahaha, brother, I will tell him that you said he is a dog when brother Chengzi comes over tomorrow!"

Gu Xiao smiled and ran in.

Wu Yicheng who was still on the road sneezed, who is talking about him?

Gu's mother prepared a large table of dishes, and Gu's father turned on the TV, which coincided with the start of the Spring Festival Gala.

There was still the sound of people setting off fireworks outside, Gu Xiao ran to the balcony excitedly when he heard it.

"Someone set off fireworks so early."

Gu's mother glanced outside, and Gu's father said, "Happy Chinese New Year."

"Xiaoxiao, come over to eat soon."

"Come on!"

Gu Xiao had a very happy New Year, because the custom in their family is to get lucky money before they have a job, and she is the only one in their family who is still in school.

Her parents, and Gu Sheng all gave her lucky money.

Gu Sheng patted her on the head, "I hope to be smarter next year."

"Brother! You are the fool!"

Gu Sheng glanced at her, "Don't you want the lucky money?"

"Brother, you are the best, you are very smart."

Gu Xiao instantly turned into a little sheep, very docile, jumping out of any nice words.

Gu Sheng accompanied his father to drink a few more glasses of wine. There were fireworks roaring outside and laughter and laughter inside. Gu Sheng thought that Lin Yan must be very happy at Zhou Xuefeng's place.

When it was almost zero o'clock, there were countless text messages of blessings, sent over WeChat, familiar and unfamiliar, it seemed that they were sent in groups.

The boss and the others were still giving out red envelopes in the group, and Gu Sheng waited for them to grab them before grabbing them, but he ended up grabbing the one with the most money.

Your uncle: It's not fair!Sheng'er, is your luck against the sky?this is okay too!

Your third uncle: Our Sheng'er's luck is still so good!

Your fourth uncle: Boss, don’t get excited, I’ll send you one alone, you are too pitiful, you only got fifty cents.

Your uncle: Hurry up, the fourth brother, come and appease my hurt heart, and send out a bunch of red envelopes to my nephews and nieces, and you are so unlucky to grab a red envelope!

Your third uncle: Hahaha, what are you, boss, I even sent two families.

Your fourth uncle: I want to post it but I don’t have it yet.

Your Third Grandpa: Fourth, is there no junior in your family?

Your fourth uncle: No, I was so angry that I was sent to the hospital during the meal just now, and now I am guarding the hospital.

Your third uncle: ...

Your uncle: ...

Gu Sheng: Is your father okay?

Your fourth uncle: It's okay, I can't die, just woke up and pointed at my nose and scolded me.

Your third grandpa: Fourth son, you are also amazing, why did you send your father into the hospital in anger during the Chinese New Year?It's so powerful.

Your fourth uncle: I didn’t say anything, he asked me to marry him after eating too much, and those stupid relatives who cling to him also agreed, and when I was upset, I said that I can’t be hard on women, and I only like men, so I turned him off passed.

Your uncle: Didn't your dad know that you like men for so many years?

Your fourth uncle: How could he not know, he just thought that I would calm down after playing enough, and didn't bring it up to the face, he reacted so badly when I didn't give him face today.

Gu Sheng knocked Zhou Xuefeng privately.

Gu Sheng: Is Lin Yan okay?

Zhou Xuefeng: What does it have to do with Ah Yan?

Gu Sheng: Isn't he with you?

Zhou Xuefeng: Don't mention it, Ah Yan is gone, I can't even keep him.But it's a good thing he's not here, otherwise the old man would definitely implicate him.

Gu Sheng: Well, are you in the hospital now?

Zhou Xuefeng: No, he pointed at my nose and cursed after waking up, saying he didn’t want to see me, so I came out to play.

Gu Sheng: Your father is getting old, you should follow him a bit.

Zhou Xuefeng: Come on, he won't die for a while. If he dies, his youngest son will not be able to take over his property. If he is not careful, he will be bitten to death by my inhumane brother. He can worry about it.

Gu Sheng: That's fine, you have fun, happy new year.

Zhou Xuefeng: Happy New Year.

After Gu Sheng chatted with Zhou Xuefeng, he didn't want to say anything more to Zhou Xuefeng. Since Zhou Xuefeng doesn't want to have a good relationship with his father, no one can force him, not to mention that Zhou Xuefeng is a typical example. If you tell him to go east, he wants to go west. type.

In fact, the relationship between Zhou Xuefeng and his father is now so tense, and the one who is most happy to see it succeed is Zhou Xuefeng's stepmother, but Zhou Xuefeng seems to be in a rebellious period that will never pass, he can't understand or listen to it.

Gu Sheng really didn't expect Lin Yan to be so stubborn, saying that he would not celebrate the New Year at Zhou Xuefeng's house if he didn't spend the New Year at Zhou Xuefeng's house.

He looked at his phone, and Lin Yan sent him a WeChat message.

Lin Yan: Happy New Year.

I don't know if it was sent in groups, I guess it is.

Gu Sheng clicked on the address book, looked at Lin Yan's name for a while, and finally dialed Lin Yan's number.

Lin Yan quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, Gu Sheng?"

"Well, it's me."

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

"You must have eaten a lot of delicious food, right?"

"Well, my mother made plum dried pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs."

Lin Yan's side was very quiet, there was no sound at all, only Lin Yan's voice kept coming from the phone.

"It makes me drool, are you greedy for me on purpose?"

"Well, next time I bring you over to play, let my mother make it for you."

"Then I'll thank Auntie first."

Gu Sheng was silent for a while before asking: "What did you eat?"

Lin Yan smiled and said: "I ate a lot, I'll count them for you, there are chicken stewed with mushrooms, chestnuts roasted chicken wings, peacock fish..."

"Sounds like a big dish."

"That's right, Zhou Xuefeng's family is rich, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Gu Sheng's heart tightened when he heard that, he could completely imagine that Lin Yan is now eating simple meals alone in the rental house, maybe he didn't even make quick-frozen dumplings, because he put them all back for Lin Yan.

But just listening to Lin Yan's voice and tone of voice, it is impossible for people to guess that Lin Yan is lying. He is such a person, and he is so good at lying that it is difficult for people to tell.

Gu Sheng disliked Lin Yan when he first met Lin Yan, running the train with his mouth full, making people unable to tell which sentence was true and which sentence was false, but now, no matter what was decided by default at the last exhibition Still this time he deliberately said that he was celebrating the New Year at Zhou Xuefeng's house, which made Gu Sheng deeply realize that Lin Yan will not show softness to others easily, and all the suffering and pain will only be borne by himself.

He weaves a web of lies, turns his shield to the outside, and turns his spear to himself.

And what kind of holes he is under that net, probably only Lin Yan knows.

Gu Sheng swallowed hard.

"Wh... bang!"

It was midnight, and the sound of setting off fireworks came from both sides of Lin Yan and Gu Sheng at the same time.

"Lin Yan, Happy New Year."

"Gu Sheng, Happy New Year."

The two said this to each other almost at the same time, and Gu Sheng heard Lin Yan's laughter coming from the other side of the phone.

"Hahaha, the tacit understanding group in our group really lives up to its reputation."

Without seeing Lin Yan's face, Gu Sheng could imagine his crooked eyebrows and smiling face.

"Next year, let's celebrate the New Year together."

Gu Sheng said softly, Lin Yan heard Gu Sheng's obviously softened voice from the other side, his heart beat suddenly, and the tips of his ears felt a little hot.

"okay."

Until he hung up the phone, Lin Yan's hot ears didn't cool down. He touched his ears and looked blankly at the fireworks outside the window.

The instant noodles had been soaked for too long until they swelled, so Lin Yan took it into the microwave and beat it, then continued to finish his dinner.

After Lin Yan came back today, he took a shower. Because of the hangover last night and the exhaustion from today's running, he climbed into bed and fell asleep again.

When he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Because he didn't feel very hungry, Lin Yan got up and cleaned the house first. Later, it was probably because his stomach felt a little empty after working, so he dug out a bag from the bottom of the box. Instant noodles.

As a result, Gu Sheng called him as soon as he had a date. Lin Yan is not a person who likes to complain. Since Gu Sheng thinks that he is celebrating the New Year with Zhou Xuefeng, it is better to let him because of it than to let Gu Sheng know that he is at home alone. It's good to eat instant noodles.

Lin Yan took out a photo from his wallet, and looked at the woman in the photo with soft eyes.

"Mom, happy new year."

"I made a new friend. He is very nice. He looks cold, but he is actually very warm-hearted and gentle. He originally invited me to his house to celebrate the New Year, and I agreed. His mother is very gentle, just like you. It's a pity. I have no chance to meet him this year. Next time, I will definitely visit his family.”

"I went to City A this year and saw him, he...looks old."

Lin Yan carried the photo back into her wallet, leaving only this one of all the photos, for Lin Yan it is like a talisman that needs to be carried with her.

He stood up and was about to wash the dishes, but the phone rang. He glanced at the display on it and saw a series of numbers. Lin Yan picked up the phone suspiciously and pressed the answer button.
