Chapter 320

He wanted to buy something affordable as a meeting gift, but Xia Yan sternly refused and said no. This sense of déjà vu of "the new son-in-law comes to meet the parents" happened to the girl inexplicably. Although she is not the son-in-law now, nor is she Huang Mao who is about to meet her in-laws and prepare to negotiate a bride price and steal "Xia Yan" away. To be precise, she is now a girl, an innocent girl who was abducted home by Huang Mao, Xia Yan. Oh... almost forgot. She was the one who was brought home by someone, not the one who came to propose marriage to Xia Yan... From this point of view, it seems that the slightly shabby things that came to the door should be tolerated, right? What if you are rejected as too poor and kicked out? But he probably thought too much. After all, a guy like Xia Yan was lucky enough to find a perfect girlfriend like her. As I was thinking wildly, the tension that had been in my heart since I got off the car also dissipated a lot. I don't know why, but cities in the north still have a unique sense of desolation, even though they have the same torrent of steel and traffic as Shanghai in the city center. As early as a few days ago, before she had completely moved to Xia Yan's house, Xia Yan had discussed and asked for her opinion with him. "Would you like to come with me to celebrate the New Year at grandpa's place this year?" When these words became messages in the chat box and were sent along the Internet, Hua Xin was stunned for a moment. In her memory, the word "New Year" has never brought her happiness and joy. There is no lively family, no mouth-watering New Year's Eve dinner, no joyful chatter, and no couplets and new Chinese characters that represent the symbol of the new year. There was only one couplet and the word "Fu" posted on the door of her house. In the years that followed, no one knew who it was, or the passage of time caused the glue to fall off naturally, or they felt ironic and embarrassed when they saw the second line of "home and everything will be happy" when they left home, and it's not necessarily that they tore it up angrily. Then, outside the gate, you could only vaguely see traces of couplets and the word "" that had appeared on the door, but what was left was just this trace that had long since disappeared. The word "New Year" since everyone left more seems to represent Hua Xin's transformation from the three meals a day where she could only rely on thirteen spices and various vitamin tablets mixed with rice to a day where she could eat instant noodles and meat. You must know that at that time, Hua Xin was far from being exposed to being a "webcast" or "going out to work", two things that were completely impossible for her. The source of income she could get was entirely by tirelessly harassing others on various platforms or in games and asking questions like "Do you need a liver replacement?"] Such words. Most of the time, he would obviously be drowned in the crowd, but occasionally there would still be a few people who wanted to give it a try and come to Hua Xin to try out a certain two-character game and other stand-alone games that only require repeated play. There are still a lot of good people on the Internet, and most people will choose to keep their word. People like Mu Feng who only seek excitement to escape the bill at the beginning are still a small minority. But it was this small part that made Hua Xin realize the sinister nature of people's hearts, and she often got into the quilt and cried. In this way, relying on the method of large quantities and low unit prices, Hua Xin's disappearing thousands of dollars left by Aunt Li's husband because she felt sorry for her have rarely stabilized. But even so, she still does not dare to spend at will, and the Chinese New Year has become the only reason she can find an excuse to have a good meal. But when he realized Xia Yan, he changed. The New Year's Eve dinner that had not changed in more than ten years, the atmosphere that had not changed, and even the scene that "home" she had always imagined should be like, were all realized by Xia Yan one by one. There were delicious meals. If she hadn't been drunk and forced to fall asleep, Hua Xin felt that she could have eaten two more bowls of rice, but in the end her hunger was not worth the erosion of alcohol. In the atmosphere she had imagined, she and Xia Yan were cooking together. Although she was just helping out and causing a few hiccups, the feeling of having someone to do things with her... was happiness, right? Maybe I didn't realize that this was happiness at the time. She thought she would never forget the New Year's Eve dinner that day. Although it was the first New Year to spend with Xia Yan as "Gu Xinzhu", I still feel a little regretful. However, she did not forget that she woke up next to Xia Yan on the first day of the new year. It's like she has never forgotten the Miku figure that Xia Yan once gave her, the large rose that has turned to ashes but is still reluctant to throw away, the lipstick that she hides in the drawer and never wants to use it until she makes up her mind, and... the red scarf from the last New Year. Thinking of this, Hua Xin couldn't help but slow down her footsteps on the snow on the road. The two people who were originally walking side by side also moved in tandem for a moment. "What's for dinner?" "I'll cook, please order whatever you want, Miss Hua Xin." Xia Yan slowly walked in line with the girl again. He was very keen to find that Hua Xin was distracted and brought up a topic to relieve her tension. He could understand Hua Xin's nervousness. If it were his first time meeting his parents, he would probably be so nervous. But Xia Yan knew one thing. The only "family" Hua Xin can rely on now is him. People say that two identical puzzle pieces cannot be put together, and the final outcome can only be separated. But they forcibly polished two identical puzzle pieces into a puzzle that could be put together. "Sweet and sour pork ribs." "Didn't I buy some pork ribs just now." Hua Xin thought for a moment, then lifted the bright red scarf around her neck and replied in a muffled voice. The warm wool made her cheeks warmer. The cold wind dyed Hua Xin's fair face a layer of pink, and there were light snowflakes hanging on her eyebrows. "Okay." Xia Yan's eyes were very gentle, and he led Hua Xin into the unit door from the slightly old community. After the howling wind disappeared, Hua Xin slowly relaxed her body and followed Xia Yan up the stairs with a slight nervousness. "Don't be too nervous." "It's our grandpa." "Well..." Hua Xin quickly tidied up her appearance and took a deep breath after confirming that nothing was revealed. But looking at Xia Yan who was holding back her laughter, the shame came to her head again. Now that she could no longer attack Xia Yan loudly, she had to give him a blank look. She wanted to leave a good impression on her grandfather. It's like... the feeling of being able to trust Xia Yan for the rest of his life. 244. The downed Hua Xin stood at the door. Xia Yan slightly averted his eyes and did not look at the door of his grandfather's house. Instead, he took a step back with a smile, trying to keep the two of them standing in the same frame when his grandfather opened the door. This was also Xia Yan's little thought. He wanted his grandfather to remember the way they stood together when he saw Hua Xin for the first time. Then Xia Yan's eyes slightly lowered, as if he remembered something sad and heart-wrenching. His eyes were full of suppressed sadness, but obviously he shouldn't show that kind of expression at such a happy moment when he brought his girlfriend to his grandfather. He adjusted his mood, and when he raised his head again, there was still a faint smile on his face. He should be strong. Not only for grandpa, but also for Hua Xin. If you feel flustered like this, you will no longer be calm and become
