The Fake Young Master Just Want to Win Glory for the Country

Xu Xizhou changed his clothes and went downstairs, the Ren family's New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready.

There was floor heating in the house, so he casually put on a dark sweater, his hair was undried and disheveled, and he just walked into the kitchen.

"Mom, auntie, what are you doing? It smells so good."

"We are cooking dumplings. You and Xiaozhuang will share a plate later. By the way, Xiaozhuang has been abroad all year round. Is he used to eating dumplings?"

The eldest aunt on the side smiled, "The Chinese dumplings are the favorite of foreigners. Xiaozhuang has half of the blood of Hua people, so he must be used to eating them."

"That's right, then I'll cook some more for Xiaozhuang."

Xu Xizhou vaguely felt that as soon as Zhuang Jingchun came, he seemed to be falling out of favor in this family.

But it doesn't seem like a bad feeling.After all, that guy is a sick man, so he deserves more blessings.

"Xiaozhou, go and call Xiaozhuang down, dinner is about to begin."

Xu Xizhou took a box of yogurt in the refrigerator, bit the straw, and hummed.

When he went upstairs, he was about to knock on Zhuang Jingchun's bedroom door when the door was opened from the inside.

The man was wearing a loose black sweater, dark blue jeans, light brown hair scattered on his forehead, and his usual aloofness had faded away, with a rare softness.

Xu Xizhou could tell at a glance that he bought this sweater for Zhuang Jingchun, because the sweater he was wearing was the same style as Zhuang Jingchun's, and the pattern on the chest was exactly the same.

"My mother told you to go down to eat." Xu Xizhou didn't know why he was very happy.

Zhuang Jingchun nodded slightly, and followed him downstairs.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Ren Huamin had already sat down at the main seat.He greeted Zhuang Jingchun with a smile, "Xiao Zhuang, don't be restrained, just treat it as if you are at home. You can pick whatever you want to eat. If your hands are inconvenient, you can ask Xiaozhou to help you."

Ren Duo also came over at this moment, sat down next to Ren Huamin, and smiled, "Grandpa, don't worry, you don't need to say anything, Xiaozhou can't wait to feed the rice directly into his mouth."

Xu Xizhou blushed, and secretly pulled the hem of Ren Duo's clothes from behind.

"sister."

Ren Huamin laughed, stroked his gray beard, and squinted at Ren Duo.

"Xiaoduo, don't laugh at your brother, when can you bring a boyfriend home during Chinese New Year? It's better to make the house more lively."

Whenever this topic is mentioned, Ren Duo has a headache.

"Grandpa, I still want to stay by your side for a few more years. If I make a boyfriend, who will make you happy in the future?"

"You, you know how to be glib, and you know how to find reasons."

Ren Huamin complained on his lips, but he was quite happy in his heart, with smiles in his eyes.

When Ren Junyun came back from the company, the Ren family's New Year's Eve dinner officially started.There are no more, no less, eighteen dishes and two soups on the table.

Xu Xizhou has almost all the dishes he likes to eat, and some unnamed dishes that can only be eaten at state banquets are made by chefs hired by Ren Huamin at a high price.

"Xiao Zhuang, how about trying this soup?"

As soon as the pot of simmering soup is opened, there will be a fragrance, which makes people's index fingers twitch.Shu Yue scooped up a bowl of soup for Zhuang Jingchun first, and seeing Xu Xizhou looking at her eagerly, she smiled and scooped up a big bowl for him too.

"Thank you auntie."

Zhuang Jingchun's table manners were never faultless, and she was quiet when drinking soup without making a sound.

"This should be the Buddha Tiaoqiang in Fujian. It contains [-] kinds of main ingredients, and Shaoxing rice wine is added, which is very delicious."

"Xiao Zhuang, I really can't tell. You also know that this soup is called Buddha Jumping the Wall?" Ren Junyun was a little surprised.

Zhuang Jingchun smiled slightly, "I drank it when I was on a business trip to Fujian before, but the taste that time was far less good than this time. It should be the relationship between the chef and the ingredients."

Ren Huamin nodded with a smile, and pointed to another dish on the table.

"Xiaozhuang, let me test you again. What is the name of this dish?"

The appearance of the dish in the white porcelain bowl is similar to ordinary boiled vegetables, but the color is very plain.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Jingchun replied, "This is boiled cabbage. It looks like boiled water, but it is actually a clear soup made from chicken, duck, and scallops. This is also one of the state banquet dishes."

Ren Huamin nodded in satisfaction, "Xiao Zhuang, I really didn't expect that, you know a lot about state banquet dishes, do you usually cook?"

"I do it occasionally, but my cooking skills are just so-so."

"Your cooking skills are so-so." Xu Xizhou angrily picked up a prawn and threw it into his bowl forcefully.

"If you are bronze, then my level is scrap iron."

Ren Huamin smiled slightly, "So, in the future, our Xiaozhou family will be lucky."

Everyone at the table laughed knowingly, Xu Xizhou's cheeks were a little hot, and when he looked at Zhuang Jingchun from the corner of his eye, the other's fair ears were also flushed.

The custom of eating New Year's Eve dinner in City B is to eat dumplings, and there are some things like coins in the dumplings. People who eat dumplings with things will often have good luck in the coming year.

When Xu Xizhou ate the fifth dumpling, he bit something hard in his mouth.He put the dumpling back into the bowl and saw a shiny gold coin inside.

On the other side, Zhuang Jingchun also bit a silver coin.The two looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

"Why are you two so lucky? I've finished this plate, but there's still nothing." Ren Duo was a little frustrated, and poked at the remaining dipping sauce in the bowl.

"Mom, are you too eccentric when serving dumplings?"

"I'm really scared of you, why don't you come and eat my bowl?"

"That's not okay. I want to keep fit. Even if it's the New Year's Eve dinner, I have to control my food intake."

Xu Xizhou put a dumpling from his own bowl on Ren Duo's plate, and said with a smile, "Sister, try this."

Ren Duo looked at him suspiciously, picked up the dumpling, and bit it into his mouth.A shiny gold coin fell out.

"You guy, why are you so lucky, you have two gold coins in a row."

Xu Xizhou shrugged his shoulders, with a smug look on his face, "No way, that's what Ou Shen possessed."

The New Year's Eve dinner was almost finished, so Ren Huamin took out a stack of thick red envelopes and distributed them to the juniors one by one.After he finished sending out, Ren Junyun also started giving out red envelopes.Next, Shu Yue took out another stack of red envelopes.

After getting off the dining table, Xu Xizhou's pocket was so full of red envelopes that he could barely fit them.When I went back to the room, I saw that the red envelopes were full of brand new red bills, which totaled more than 2 yuan.

Downstairs, Ren Duo was calling him to play cards, and the sound of the opening of the Spring Festival Gala came from the living room, which was very lively.With a smile on the corner of Xu Xizhou's mouth, he took a stack of banknotes from the red envelope, stuffed it into his pocket, and went downstairs.

Zhuang Jingchun was already on the mahjong table, she was dragged up by Ren Duo probably because she was trying to drive a duck to the shelves, her expression seemed a bit troubled.

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhuang doesn't know how to play mahjong just by looking at it. You have to teach him well, so that he won't lose all the money in the red envelope." The aunt sitting opposite couldn't bear it.

Xu Xizhou didn't go to the table, so Shu Yue called him, moved a stool by himself, and sat next to Zhuang Jingchun.

"You really don't know how to play mahjong?"

"Seeing that my mother has played before, she knows the rules." Zhuang Jingchun bit the bullet and set up her cards, and looked at Xu Xizhou as if she was asking for help.

"Would you like to come?"

"It's okay, I know how to fight, just let me teach you."

In fact, Xu Xizhou doesn't know how to play mahjong very much, but seeing Zhuang Jingchun flustered, he inexplicably gains confidence.

The two got together and discussed tactics with the cards in front of them.As a result, he fired a circle and fired two cannons.Don't talk about fooling around, I haven't even heard the cards.

"Xiaozhou, don't you know how to play mahjong too?" Ren Duo mercilessly exposed him, "I think you two cobblers together can't become Zhuge Liang."

Xu Xizhou didn't believe in evil, so he went into battle himself.In the end, his luck was even worse than Zhuang Jingchun's. Once he even fired a double cannon, and Ren Duo and his aunt on the opposite side laughed and kept collecting money into the box.

"Grandpa, come and fight, I don't want to fight anymore." Xu Xizhou abdicated with tears.

He went to the living room and glanced at the Spring Festival Gala on TV, which was showing a boring song and dance program.Just as he was hesitating whether to go back and watch them play cards, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Come to the backyard."

Zhuang Jingchun didn't see anyone for a while, why did he run into the yard?

Xu Xizhou went to the backyard curiously, and his pupils widened slightly as soon as he walked down the steps.

Colorful fireworks exploded above his head, lighting up the dark night sky.

Zhuang Jingchun stood under the fireworks, with a gentle smile in her green eyes.

"Xiao Zhou, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"When did you prepare it? I don't know why." Xu Xizhou unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and walked quickly in front of him.

"I asked Ren Duo to help, and I wanted to give you a surprise."

Xu Xizhou suddenly remembered something and snorted coldly.

"I don't know who said fireworks were childish last year. How does it feel to be slapped in the face now?"

When he said this, Zhuang Jingchun also remembered that during the Spring Festival last year, Xu Xizhou set off fireworks in the garden. He watched from upstairs, and the figure of the boy hugging his knees and sitting alone on the steps was so lonely and desolate, that kind of empathy He still remembers the distressed feeling very clearly.

"When did I say that setting off fireworks is childish?" Zhuang Jingchun coughed uncomfortably, trying to confuse the topic.

"There are fairy wands here, do you want to play?"

Sure enough, Xu Xizhou's attention was diverted in an instant, and he happily went to get the fireworks box in his hand.

"Okay, I want to play."

The two set off a lot of fireworks in the yard, and Xu Xizhou took out a Polaroid to take pictures of Zhuang Jingchun.Zhuang Jingchun doesn't like being on camera very much, every time Xu Xizhou wants to take pictures of him, she subconsciously covers her face with her hands.

"Can you cooperate? I didn't even take a picture of your face."

"It's dark here, there's nothing to shoot, it's cold outside, let's go in."

Zhuang Jingchun returned to the living room as if fleeing.Xu Xizhou refused to let him go, and sneaked around the door to take many pictures of him.

On the mahjong table on the other side of the living room, the atmosphere was so hot that even Ren Junyun came over to give Ren Duo some advice.Only Xu Xizhou and Zhuang Jingchun were sitting together on the sofa.

Xu Xizhou's smile was low, even watching a Spring Festival Gala skit, he laughed so hard.Zhuang Jingchun was sitting upright, not looking like she was watching the Spring Festival Gala, but more like watching international news.

"Aren't you tired of carrying it like this? Relax." Xu Xizhou patted him on the shoulder lightly.

He could vaguely feel that Zhuang Jingchun was somewhat uncomfortable staying at Ren's house for the New Year.The man is cautious and cautious, so naturally he will not make any mistakes in his words and deeds.

"It's okay, it's more comfortable to sit like this."

Unable to persuade Zhuang Jingchun, Xu Xizhou had no choice but to let him go.He carelessly put his feet on the cushion, watched TV, and leaned to one side, leaning against Zhuang Jingchun.

"I'm so sleepy, what time is it?"

He leaned against Zhuang Jingchun's shoulder and asked in a daze.

Zhuang Jingchun yawned, her eyelids drooping sleepily.

"It's almost twelve o'clock."

"Are they still playing cards?

"Your grandpa and auntie went back to their room to sleep. Ren Duo and the nanny are playing cards."

Xu Xizhou yawned a lot, and said with emotion, "She's in great spirits, she's been playing for four hours."

"Let's go back to sleep too, we're so sleepy."

Zhuang Jingchun gave him a light grace, and helped him up.Xu Xizhou followed behind him without even opening his eyes. Seeing Zhuang Jingchun enter the bedroom, he followed him in.

Just as Zhuang Jingchun took off his glasses, when he turned his head, Xu Xizhou bumped into his arms.

The bridge of Xu Xizhou's nose hurt a little from the bump, and his sleepiness dissipated a bit, and he looked at him aggrieved.

"Why don't you go?"

Zhuang Jingchun was a little dumbfounded.

"This is my room. You... want to sleep with me?"

Xu Xizhou looked around and suddenly became sober.He rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and whispered, "Who wants to sleep with you, it's not like I don't have my own room."

He snorted and went back to his bedroom.

However, lying on the bed, he was extremely awake, unable to fall asleep no matter what, he simply put on a coat and went to the balcony.

As soon as he walked to the balcony, he found a slender figure standing next door.

Hearing the noise, Zhuang Jingchun turned around and looked at him in surprise.

"Aren't you so sleepy that you can't open your eyes? Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Didn't you sleep too?"

Zhuang Jingchun smiled, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and there are many stars. Maybe it's because the night scene is so beautiful that I can't sleep."

Xu Xizhou nodded and looked at the night sky.

A faint radiance fell from behind the clouds, covering everything with a hazy veil.

Neither of them spoke, but just looked at the night sky, but there was a strange feeling of spiritual connection.

"Zhuang Jingchun." Xu Xizhou said suddenly.

The man opposite looked up at him.

"Thank you." Xu Xizhou looked at him solemnly, and his bright black eyes looked at him without blinking.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me. But..." He glanced at Zhuang Jingchun's right arm, with distress in his eyes, "The next time you encounter danger, don't stand in front of me, okay?"

Zhuang Jingchun's heart moved, and her green eyes stared at him tightly.

"Because, you are more important than myself in my heart. When I see you hurt for me, I will blame myself, feel guilty, can't eat, and can't sleep well. So next time, don't block these things for me again." Dangerous, okay?"

Zhuang Jingchun stared at him, her light green eyes were like a rippling lake.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Okay, I promise you."

The two chatted for a while, and finally Xu Xizhou was also sleepy, and went back to the room with a yawn. Just as he lay down, his phone suddenly vibrated.

It was Zhuang Jingchun who sent him three WeChat red envelopes, which added up to exactly 520 yuan.

Xu Xizhou stared at the phone screen, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.

The author has something to say:

Ahhhhhh why haven't I written about love yet, I beat myself!
