In the last three days before New Year's Eve, Quan Huachen's work finally came to an end. After spending a day at home with him, Kang Zhuo decided to take him to meet Aiya.

"I used to visit my mother with Aunt Xiao and her family before Chinese New Year... Turn left in front and take the first parking space!"

Kang Zhuo was a little excited, and directed Quan Huachen to park the car at the place where he parked most often, and he was bouncing when he got off the car.He hadn't told Quan Huachen that Kang Shicheng agreed to their relationship, he planned to talk about it during the Chinese New Year, to give Quan Huachen a surprise, just in time for him to meet Kang Shicheng again.

Quan Huachen also got out of the car, and looked at him with a smile: "Why aren't you with them this year?"

He deliberately asked this kind of question again, Kang Zhuo snorted without saying a word, and lifted up the scarf to cover most of his face.

Quan Huachen leaned into his ear: "Does your mother like Yin Dongfan more? He has been with you so many times before, and my aunt must regard him as her son-in-law. Will she dislike me and think I'm old?" ?”

Kang Zhuo immediately retorted: "Why? You are not old at all, you are a hundred times better than Yin Dongfan! She must like you very much."

Quan Huachen suppressed a smile and continued to ask: "What's a good way? If you don't explain it clearly, how can Auntie believe it?"

Kang Zhuo raised his head and looked at the tall and handsome alpha in front of him. He knew that he was going to see Aiya today, so he had his hair cut specially the day before, and even had his eyebrows trimmed.He changed into the most expensive suit, put on a slim wool coat, and stood upright, not knowing whether he was going to a catwalk or an international conference, and the grave-sweeping pedestrians turned their heads to look at him frequently.

Kang Zhuo has learned to be smart now. Instead of answering Quan Huachen directly, he threw the question back to him and said, "Go and tell my mother yourself." After finishing speaking, he slipped away.

Liu Quan Huachen followed slowly behind with a bouquet of white carnations in his arms.

Today's weather is particularly good, the sun above the head is shining on the body as warm as early spring, and the cemetery is full of people who come to visit their relatives and friends while the Chinese New Year is approaching.

When Kang Zhuo walked to Aiya's tombstone, he saw another bouquet of white roses, but judging by the state of the flowers, he should have been lying here for a few days. Kang Zhuo said to Quan Huachen, "Aunt Xiao and the others came here a few days ago. pass."

Quan Huachen looked at him: "Why are you so sure it's Quan Xiao? Maybe it's your father?"

"No way..." Kang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "He did go home once last week, but he came back very late, so he probably didn't have time to go to the cemetery."

Quan Huachen didn't say any more, he bent down and put the carnation beside the white rose, and Kang Zhuo held his hand when he got up.

"Mom, I brought my alpha to see you." Kang Zhuo stared at Aiya's photo on the tombstone, and said formally, "The former Yin Dongfan is not counted, this is the person I really like..."

Omega, who was embarrassed just now, was now talking endlessly to his mother's tombstone, listing Quan Huachen's advantages from small to large, and even brought out the fact that he can carve flowers with radishes, Quan Huachen listened by himself They were all ashamed, but Kang Zhuo spoke very seriously, and he couldn't bear to interrupt him.

Finally, Kang Zhuo finished his "long speech". Quan Huachen felt that Aiya should know him well now, and he didn't need him to add anything, so he took Kang Zhuo's shoulders into his arms and looked at the tombstone. The beautiful woman with a smile like a flower said: "Don't worry, Auntie, we are very happy. I will accompany Kang Zhuo to visit you every year in the future. He will never be alone again."

On the way back, Kang Zhuo insisted on him driving, so Quan Huachen had to sit in the co-pilot idly and watch his phone.

This year Kang Shicheng will go home for the New Year, Kang Zhuo said to Quan Huachen in a suggestive tone: "So I won't go to your old house on New Year's Eve this year."

"En." Quan Huachen only looked down at the phone, and responded perfunctorily.

Kang Zhuo was a little annoyed, when he was about to say something more, Quan Huachen suddenly put away his phone and said, "My mom will come to City A tomorrow, do you want to pick her up with me?"

"Ah?" Kang Zhuo crashed, almost took the red light for a green light, stepped on the gas pedal, but fortunately Quan Huachen reminded him in time.

"Tsk, why panic, find a roadside stop and let me drive later. Your brother Chen has a bad heart and can't stand the scare. You still want to live for two more years."

Two minutes later, Kang Zhuo obediently gave up the driver's seat. When he got out of the car, he would not walk on the road, and moved to the co-pilot with his hands and feet.

Quan Huachen was enjoying watching, and he pinched Kang Zhuo's face: "It's not like you haven't seen her before. Didn't you call her aunt when you saw her on New Year's Eve last year? She even gave you a package of 200 yuan red envelopes?"

Kang Zhuo was sweating in the winter, he held on to his seat belt tightly: "It's different now..."

Quan Huachen nodded: "Indeed, if we meet again this year, there will definitely be more than two hundred red envelopes."

Kang Zhuo didn't answer, he just got nervous.

Quan Huachen saw that he was really not ready, so he stopped forcing it.

Kang Zhuo originally wanted Quan Huachen to meet Kang Shicheng a few years ago, but his plan fell through because he always felt that if Quan Huachen met Kang Shicheng, then he would have to meet Zhou Yuan.

It's not that Zhou Yuan is not easy to get along with. In Kang Zhuo's impression, Zhou Yuan would give him a red envelope every time they met during Chinese New Year. She is a very kind omega.

But meeting such an important matter as the parents, according to Kang Zhuo's temperament, he has to prepare at least half a month in advance, fully understand the other party's preferences, think about all the questions she may ask in advance, and after [-] simulations in his mind, Have the confidence to go to the "battlefield".

On the second day after Zhou Yuan arrived in City A, Kang Shicheng also returned home. In addition to buying things for the New Year, Kang Zhuo and Quan Huachen didn't see each other very much, and they could only "secretly" video at night.

As for why it is "secretly", because one pretends that he has not announced his new relationship to his father, and the other pretends that he has never seen his prospective father-in-law to accompany the other party.

Of course, there is another wave of people who don't know the inside story.

Yin Dongfan thought that Kang Shicheng didn't know about them, so he happily rang the doorbell of Kang Zhuo's house on the morning of New Year's Eve. He looked like a good son-in-law, and said to Kang Shicheng who came to open the door: "Uncle Kang, Happy New Year. There is a seat reserved in the Shengyan Building, please have a meal with Kang Zhuo at noon!"

However, Kang Shicheng didn't invite him into the house as usual, and didn't let him in. He only asked him a word: "The Su family has also gone?"

Yin Dongfan was stunned for a moment: "What Su family? It's just our two families."

"I should remember correctly, isn't your new Omega's surname Su?"

Just this one sentence made Yin Dongfan break out in cold sweat. Obviously, Kang Shicheng's face hadn't changed from the beginning to the end. Yin Dongfan just felt that the middle-aged alpha in front of him had changed his aura. He looked at him like a lion seeing a hyena.

"If the incumbent doesn't go, what does it mean for the ex to go to dinner?" Kang Shicheng said lightly, "Go back and tell your parents that tomorrow I will bring Kang Zhuo to visit for New Year's greetings."

At this time, Kang Zhuo was upstairs in video chat with Quan Huachen, and he knew nothing about what happened downstairs. Quan Huachen showed Kang Zhuo the little pig custard bun made by Zhou Yuan, and asked him if he wanted to eat it. I stole a few and sent them to him, and then sent them to Kang Zhuo from the window on the second floor, playing the role of Romeo and Juliet in the new era. Kang Zhuo also felt the excitement, and said blushingly, "OK!"

Later, the sound of Kang Shicheng closing the door was a bit noisy, Kang Zhuo came out of the bedroom, looked down from the second floor guiltily, and asked Kang Shicheng who was here just now.

Kang Shicheng waved at him: "One or two little mice, play with you."

"Oh..." Kang Zhuo was a little puzzled, but Quan Huachen was still waiting for him, so he went back happily.

Auntie Zhu is also going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, so Kang Shicheng and Kang Zhuo can only go out for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Kang Shicheng didn't know what Kang Zhuo liked to eat, so he ordered the most expensive New Year's Eve dinner luxury set meal at the most expensive restaurant in the city, and then gave a card with an unknown amount of money on the dinner table, without saying a word, just Throw the card in front of Kang Zhuo.

Kang Zhuo was confused holding the card, thinking that Kang Shicheng asked him to pay the bill, and when he went to the bathroom halfway through the meal, he took the card to the front desk to ask, only to realize that the bill had already been settled.

"Father, what is this card for?" Kang Zhuo finally couldn't help asking after he came back.

Kang Shicheng looked at him like he was looking at a fool: "What? You have to wear a red envelope to recognize him?"

Kang Zhuo was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it, he laughed straight: "Thank you Dad, Happy New Year Dad, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Kang Shicheng snorted, "It's these two sentences every year."

Kang Zhuo then added two more sentences: "Father's work is going well, and his life is longer than Nanshan."

"All right, all right, eat your meal." Kang Shicheng raised his head and drank a glass of sake, barely covering the corners of his mouth.

Kang Shicheng drank at the dinner table, so Kang Zhuo drove the car on the return journey.Kang Shicheng was in the co-pilot listening to a group of young people in the work group sending voice calls to the leader to ask for red envelopes. He also tried to send one, but he didn’t know what setting he encountered. Everyone got the same amount of red envelopes every time. , There is no suspense, no meaning, it has been posted several times in a row.

Kang Zhuo heard him muttering to himself, scolding his cell phone for a while, and WeChat for a while, so he leaned over to take a look at the red light.

"Dad, you have to choose the luck in the upper left corner."

"I know!" Kang Shicheng took the phone away impatiently, "Drive your car well."

Kang Zhuo snickered and started the car slowly.

There was a lot of traffic on New Year’s Eve, and I don’t know how many of them were rushing home for the New Year. Kang Zhuo looked out the window, and the high-rise buildings were brightly lit, and everything was red as far as the eye could see. Even the street lamps were hung with Chinese knots. This was the first time for Kang Zhuo Really feel the taste of the year.

Kang Zhuo's mood was extremely light, he turned his head to Kang Shicheng at another red light and said, "Dad, today's New Year's Eve dinner tastes really good, let's eat it next year."

Kang Zhuo knew that Kang Shicheng was very busy with work, so he said this in a half-joking way. He could guess Kang Shicheng's answer. He probably wanted to say "let's talk" or "see you next year", but Kang Shicheng agreed without hesitation. Yes, he said: "I also think it's good, and I will make a position early next year."

For some reason, Kang Zhuo felt his eyes a little sour, and he covered it up with a smile: "But I don't want the shredded eggplant, it's too sweet."

"Really? Don't you young omegas like to eat sweets?"

"That's too sweet..."

The two of them were chatting and laughing. The journey of more than an hour passed quickly. After arriving home, Kang Shicheng got out of the car first, and Kang Zhuo parked the car in the garage. When he came out, he saw Quan Hua at the door of his house. Chen, he was chatting with Kang Shicheng in full swing.

Kang Zhuo approached the two with wide eyes, not knowing what to say, and quietly shrank to Kang Shicheng's side.

Seeing him like this, Kang Shicheng slapped him on the back: "Look at your worthless appearance."

Kang Zhuo didn't dare to speak, he looked anxiously at Kang Shicheng, then at Quan Huachen, wondering why Quan Huachen came to their house at this time, and why the two of them chatted so well.

"Don't look," Kang Shicheng said, "I called him here. It's boring to celebrate the New Year with an old man like me, so I called him here."

Looking at Quan Huachen's smiling face, Kang Zhuo gradually understood: "Dad..."

Kang Shicheng waved his hand: "Let's go with him, have fun, and come back tomorrow." After speaking, he ignored them and walked towards the door by himself.

"Father!" Kang Zhuo took two steps forward in bewilderment.

"Uncle Kang." Quan Huachen also spoke. He took out the food box from the car, held Kang Zhuo with the other hand and walked to the door, and said to Kang Shicheng who was looking back at them with a smile, "How can a family be separated during the New Year?" Reasonable, we are at home, not going anywhere. This is a dessert made by my mother, I must give it to you in the tropics, my mother is very good at cooking, Uncle Kang should try it."

"Where is your mother?"

"She's in the old house, and there are many people around her, so I'm not missing. Uncle Kang can rest assured."

Kang Shicheng couldn't remember the last time a family like this sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and he didn't know that Kang Zhuo could laugh so happily. He belatedly realized that he had missed a lot, but luckily It's not too late.

Kang Shicheng didn't know whether Quan Huachen and Kang Zhuo's usual way of getting along was like this, or whether Quan Huachen deliberately acted in front of Kang Shicheng, he was more like a father than Kang Shicheng.

He opened the food box, brought the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen in a familiar way, and ordered Kang Zhuo to burn the stuffing in the custard bun. When he saw that Kang Zhuo's mouth was stained with scum, he wiped it off with his hands, and even wiped Kang Zhuo's mouth very naturally. Zhuo couldn't finish half a bowl of fermented glutinous glutinous rice balls in one go.

Kang Shicheng was so angry when he saw it.

When Quan Huachen turned around, he found that Kang Shicheng was staring at him, so he asked him if the fermented glutinous rice was too sweet, Kang Shicheng stared at him for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "I'm very familiar with the decoration of the house, have you been here a lot before?"

Quan Huachen didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old father-in-law, and replied with a smile: "I only came here two or three times, and cooked a few meals for Kang Zhuo."

"Hmph." Kang Shicheng believed him to be a ghost.

In the last ten seconds before the new year, the host of the Spring Festival Gala on TV began to count down. Kang Zhuo was infected by the atmosphere, and followed the countdown, and finally cheered in the New Year's bell: "Dad, Brother Chen, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Quan Huachen pinched his face, then met Kang Shicheng's gaze, "Dad, Happy New Year."

Kang Shicheng's eyes widened immediately, his lips opened and closed several times, and seeing that the swear words were about to be blurted out, he finally endured it forcefully, and replied dryly: "Happy New Year."

There were bursts of firecrackers in the distance, and the three subconsciously looked out of the window. The gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the corner of the night, which was the last chapter of the old year and the prelude to the new year.

Kang Shicheng silently repeated to a certain place in his heart:

happy New Year.
