"Spend New Year's at your place?"
Lin Tian decisively shook his head. "Better not."
It wasn't that he had any issue with Gan Yan Yu's parents.
He simply felt awkward about it.
Lin Tian had long been used to being alone. During holidays and festivals, he basically spent them by himself.
The idea of suddenly going to strangers' home made him uncomfortable.
Even with Gan Yan Yu there.
Besides, Lin Tian had no standing to spend New Year's at someone else's house.
Under what identity?
Boyfriend?—Probably not.
A fiancé who hadn't even settled on when they would get married?—That definitely wasn't something he could just say.
"You're not going?"
Gan Yan Yu lowered her head. "That makes sense. I'm not even close with them myself, so suddenly asking you to come with me would be too awkward."
Gan Yan Yu's saintly side showed itself at this moment.
They were nominal parents who had not been by her side for over a decade, and when they had first returned, they had even asked her to give up her dream.
But when she thought about how they merely wanted to use the New Year's Eve dinner to grow closer to her and make up for what they owed her in the past—
Gan Yan Yu always felt that she shouldn't reject their goodwill.
—At the end of the day, it was just a New Year's Eve dinner.
They only saw each other a few times a year.
Besides, going home for the Spring Festival was only proper.
Lin Tian truly couldn't understand that.
Forget parents who had left when their child was three.
If it were Lin Tian's old man, who had left when he was fifteen, and he came back one day wanting to spend New Year's with him—
