Chapter Fourteen(1/6)
The New Year is finally coming in a lively manner.
This city with a large population outside the country will only show a rare quietness and coldness during the Chinese New Year.
There were few cars and pedestrians on the road on the afternoon of 30, and most shops were closed. As long as there was a home, who wouldn’t reunite with his family warmly at the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year?
Adrian touched Li Chengxiu's house before lunch at noon, and when he entered the door, he started yelling that he would go from lunch at 30 to lunch at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Li Shuo ran over to help early in the morning.
Although there are only three people celebrating the New Year together, the New Year’s Eve dinner cannot be ambiguous at all.
Li Shuo was very happy to play Li Chengxiu, a professional chef. He never stopped praising and exaggerating, and Li Chengxiu always smiled embarrassedly.
As soon as Adrian entered the door, he hugged a large bucket of pistachios and sat on the sofa watching TV, without any intention of helping.
While eating, he muttered: "Oh, Xiuxiu, you changed the sofa. This sofa is so comfortable. You two are living a good life."
Li Chengxiu poured him a glass of water and explained: "This is Brother Li's house, he wants to change..."
Adrian giggled: "Oh, he changed it for you."
Li Shuo came over and said with a smile: "I changed the sofa for you, just to let you hold snacks and watch TV to watch us busy with our work without stretching out our hands."
Adrian smiled shamelessly: "Brother Li, look." He handed his white jade-like hand to Li Shuo, "The nails I just made are so expensive. How can you bear to let me do my work?"
Li Shuo patted his hand off: "Since you don't work, eat quietly, and your mouth and hands are not idle. Are you tired?"
Adrian gave Li Chengxiu a charming look: "Xiuxiu doesn't say anything about me, it's better for Xiuxiu."
Li Chengxiu laughed and reminded him: "Eat slowly, eat this one, drink water."
Adrian jumped up from the sofa, hugged Li Chengxiu and kissed her, shouting: "I love you so much, so hurry up and cook. You must add more spicy crab fried rice cakes I want..."
In Li Chengxiu's memory, he has never had a decent year since his father left him and his mother.
When he was a child, he would watch other people's houses lively and lively, and would cry secretly, but later he became numb.
After so many years, he was thirty, and he could have two friends whom he had known for a while to spend the New Year with him. The gratitude and joy in his heart were really indescribable.
So he spent a lot of effort on every dish of the New Year’s Eve dinner. He had no other expertise, so he could only use this to express his gratitude.
The rich meals on the table are all full of colors, fragrance and taste, which makes people feel excited and salivate.
Adrian jumped to the table like a cheerful monkey, his eyes shining with excitement.
The floor where Li Chengxiu lives is relatively high. At this time, fireworks sounded outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The bright firelight can illuminate the night sky from time to time. The rich festive atmosphere ignited all three people, with festive smiles on their faces.
The three of them sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food that Li Chengxiu had carefully prepared for the day, and everyone praised it.
Adrian couldn't help but talk in a slut while eating: "Xiuxiu, I regret introducing you to Li Shuo, otherwise you should follow me, and I can support you. Really, just because of your skills, I can live twenty more years."
Li Shuo smiled and knocked him with chopsticks: "Eat your meal."
Adrian ignored him and looked up at Li Chengxiu with a eager look: "I'll tell me, follow me, follow me, follow me. I must be nice to you."
Li Chengxiu had long been accustomed to his jokes and going crazy from time to time, so she chuckled and replied casually: "Yes."
After a meal, the three of them laughed and clamored, and there was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
After dinner, Li Shuo helped him clean up the kitchen, and then sat with Adrian on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Listening to Adrian, he criticized this and that.
Li Chengxiu moved two stools next to him, sat one by himself and the other with a basin of kneading dough. While chatting and watching TV, he prepared dumplings.
After eating and drinking, the little teacup was lying on his legs and slept soundly. He also wiping his claws from time to time in his sleep, which was so beautiful.
He remembered that when he was a child, the same was true for his family.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, he and his father watched the Spring Festival Gala, and his mother sat beside him, kneading the dough while talking to them. At that time, the ordinary happiness could not be recovered no matter what.
Li Chengxiu felt that this was a New Year that he would never forget.
Shao Qun also felt so, but this year was undoubtedly the worst New Year in his life.
While Li Chengxiu and the other two were having fun in the house for the New Year, Shao Qun sat alone in the car, staring blankly at their floor-to-ceiling windows with lights on.
On New Year's Eve, he had a quarrel with his family and turned off his phone. The fuck didn't want to contact anyone.
Li Wenxun and Dali have been home for the New Year. This is the first time he has faced the New Year alone when he has grown up. When it comes to the New Year, he can get a call from just paying New Year greetings.
After the people who were following Li Shuo found out where Li Chengxiu lived, he stayed in his house without food or drink for almost a whole day.
He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to get closer to him.
He didn't want to go up and make trouble today. First, he was a little afraid of seeing Li Chengxiu and Li Shuo intimate and harmonious manner. Second, he felt that if he didn't even let him live an Ansheng Year, he would be more resistant to him.
He looked at the floor-to-ceiling window with bright yellow lights and fantasized about what Li Chengxiu would do inside.
Are you wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, preparing to produce exquisite dishes?
I would be overjoyed when I saw the craziest sketches on TV.
He wanted to spend a warm and warm year with him.
Shao Qun knew that he was a devil.
Since Li Chengxiu left, he could not eat a few bites of what others cooked. No matter how beautiful the boy was, he could not be interested. At night, he truly realized what it means to sleep alone. His persistence towards this person has already scared him and made him feel a wake-up call, but he can't control himself.
He thought that he really liked Li Chengxiu. If someone else had been with someone else, he would have told someone to get out, but if it were Li Chengxiu, he would still want to steal him back. Even if he forced himself to lose his memory, he would not be willing to give him up.
The sound of fireworks outside the car was endless, the sky was constantly lit up, and the festive New Year was pushed to a high tide with the clock approaching zero.
The floor-to-ceiling window that Shao Qun stared at suddenly opened, his heart trembled, and his eyes looked straight at the balcony on the fifth floor.
Li Chengxiu walked out with a firework stick in her hand and talked and laughed with Adrian.
Shao Qun felt a little surprised to see Adrian next to Li Chengxiu, but he had no time to think about it. He focused all his thoughts on the thin man.
Adrian was walking around Li Chengxiu with a lighter like a child, lit the fireworks stick and raised it to the sky, screaming with excitement.
Li Chengxiu also held one in his hand and smiled quietly.
Shao Qun looked at him in fascination.
It was only a distance of thirty or forty meters, but it was as far as the mountain.
After a while, Adrian turned around and entered the house. When a tall figure came out of the house, Shao Qun's face immediately changed.
Li Shuo smiled and walked towards Li Chengxiu: "That fool Adrian, Mars splashed onto his sweater."
Li Chengxiu burst into laughter: "You didn't burn anyone."
"Don't worry, no." Li Shuo stood gently behind him, couldn't help but hugging his waist from behind and putting his chin on his shoulders.
Li Chengxiu's body was slightly stiff: "Brother Li..."
Li Shuo whispered: "Cheng Xiu, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
"Cheng Xiu, can we make some progress in the new year? I want to protect you, can you give me a position?"
Li Chengxiu was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became slightly hot.
"Cheng Xiu, many people have experienced failed relationships, but we must stand up and continue to move forward and find the right person. Forgot everything before and try it with me, okay?"
Li Chengxiu's heart was full of doubts and uncertainty, but he couldn't think of a reason why he should reject Li Shuo.
This is a good person, a person worthy of his respect. He loved the wrong person, and God is willing to give him a chance so that he doesn't have to be lonely. What reason does he have to miss it?
He wanted someone to accompany him, but he didn't want to live alone. Li Shuo gave him care and respect, help him, and took care of him. This relationship seemed to have come here naturally. He should completely forget Shao Qun and put all his thoughts on this person.
Li Shuo gently rubbed Li Chengxiu's neck with his cheek and asked softly: "Cheng Xiu, how about it?"
Li Chengxiu's chest was sore. He closed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Li Shuo smiled happily, put his face in front of him, and raised his chin signally.
Li Chengxiu was a little uncomfortable, but she still turned her face and kissed Li Shuo intimately under the extremely gorgeous night sky set against the sky with fireworks.
The kiss didn't last long, and Adrian came out of the house again, surrounded them and screamed, and the three of them quickly entered the house.
Shao Qun sat in the car and watched the scene stiffly. Although the heating was turned 27 or 8 degrees, he still felt cold all over. His heart felt pain beyond his limit, and he felt that he was almost unable to breathe.
The one named Li took his place like this, and Li Chengxiu was so in love with him. He was left alone to peep under the building for the New Year. He didn't know who to hate and blame whom.
Shao Qun took out his cell phone from his pocket tremblingly, turned on the phone, and called his assistant.
The other end of the phone was accompanied by the noise of firecrackers and TV, and it was noisy: "Hey, Mr. Shao, Happy New Year."
Shao Qun said in a deep voice: "How did you check the things you asked you to check?"
"Hey? Mr. Shao? Happy New Year?"
Shao Qun raised the volume impatiently: "Find a quiet place."
The other end of the phone seemed to have entered the room, and it became much quieter: "Mr. Shao..."
"What about the things you asked you to check?"
"I checked the projects of Lishuo's firm in the past few years, and I found that there was an article to do in the bankruptcy case of a real estate company the previous year."
"explain."
"This real estate company mortgaged a piece of land to Bank X that year, but was taken back by the government for free because it had not been developed for more than a year. The reason why it was not developed was that this land also involved other property rights issues. Bank X actually never obtained a land certificate. It is said that the person who served as the president of Bank X at that time had a personal relationship with the boss of the company. He knew that there was a problem with the land, but the relationship between the two was established by Li Shuo. Moreover, the accounts of this real estate company have always been handled by Li Shuo's firm. No problems broke out before applying for bankruptcy. More than one billion yuan was borrowed from two banks. After applying for bankruptcy, the financial office also intervened in the matter, but no evidence was found to be unfavorable to Li Shuo."
