Occasionally, you can hear the sound of firecrackers in the alleys and streets.
Of course, even though Chuanyu isn’t a big tropolitan city, it’s strictly forbidden to set off firecrackers in the urban district.
However, the surrounding small towns still sell fireworks and firecrackers.
Many people go out of their way to drive there, buy firecrackers, and find a secluded spot to play.
There are also so children who bring little playthings, like pop-its, to play in the city.
It’s the Lunar New Year, after all, so the municipal staff often turn a blind eye.
As long as no one openly sets off large fireworks in crowded places, it’s fine.
In a flash, New Year’s Eve arrived.
On this day, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin invited Tang Dingyuan and Mrs.
Tang to the Xiao Family ho.
In the living room.
Tang Dingyuan and Xiao Jun were entertaining the three babies.
They incessantly dangled various little toys in front of the children.
The gas were extrely childish, yet they enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
Mrs.
Tang was chatting away with Wang Fang on the side.
The responsibility of handling the kitchen naturally fell to Xiao Fei.
Da-da-da-da-da…
The sound of the knife blade clashing against the cutting board was swift and rhythmic.
Xiao Fei prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner with such fluidity that there wasn’t a single wasted movent.
Tang Yuxin watched with bewildered admiration.
She, too, wished for Xiao Fei’s almost magical cooking skills, but every ti she watched intently, the outco was as follows:
Brain: I think I’ve got it!
Hands: Nope, you absolutely haven’t!
“Stop getting in the way here.
Go to the living room and keep my parents company.”
When Xiao Fei said this, Tang Yuxin burst into a playful anger.
She let out an “Ah-woo~” and pounced onto Xiao Fei’s back, scaring Xiao Fei into imdiately putting down the knife in his hand.
“That’s dangerous!
I was chopping vegetables just now.”
“Hubby…”
“Hm?”
“I’m a little hungry.
Can I sneak a bite first?”
Tang Yuxin gestured with her fingers to show “just a tiny bit.”
Smiling, Xiao Fei tucked a slice of cured at into her mouth, and Tang Yuxin chomped down on it with an “Ah-woo.”
Then Xiao Fei picked up a piece of bone ant for soup and mimicked a throwing gesture.
“Hubby!
I am not a puppy!”
“You’re a piggy.”
Tang Yuxin thought for a mont and then affectionately delivered a headbutt to Xiao Fei.
But she also knew when to quit while she was ahead; after a brief commotion, she quieted down.
“Hubby, let help you then?”
As she spoke, her gaze started wandering.
At that mont, Xiao Fei was washing his hands under the faucet.
The stream of water cascaded over Xiao Fei’s hands.
His skin was pale, and his hands were particularly well-shaped.
The water flowed down the back of his hands and his fingers, making Tang Yuxin’s heart skip a beat.
She thought to herself, “There’s sothing wrong with !”
How could watching her husband wash his hands make her daydream so much?
Shaking her head furiously, Tang Yuxin stole another glance at Xiao Fei.
This man was simply intoxicating.
“Helping?
More like ssing things up.
Did you forget last ti when you said you’d help cook at ho?
That fiasco kept us busy for over two hours!”
“That’s because you wouldn’t listen to my directions!
I can totally cook!”
“I call it sticking to a more efficient way of working.
Alright, go play in the living room.”
“Then I want another bite.”
A slice of sliced sausage appeared before Tang Yuxin.
Without thinking, she bit down on it, and coincidentally, on Xiao Fei’s finger as well.
Tang Yuxin didn’t bite down hard, and Xiao Fei, afraid of hurting her, didn’t imdiately pull his hand back.
Looking helplessly at his adorable wife in front of him, Xiao Fei took advantage of the situation and pinched her cheeks with the few fingers still free.
“Release~”
“Mmm… Mmm…”
“Will you let go or not?”
“Mmm!
Mmm!
Mmm…!!!”
“You young ones are really having fun.”
Wang Fang and Mrs.
Tang had sohow appeared at the kitchen doorway, giving them a knowing and amused look.
Upon hearing this voice, Tang Yuxin hurriedly let go of Xiao Fei’s finger, her face flushing bright red as she bashfully stayed silent.
Mrs.
Tang shook her head.
“Why did I raise such a daughter?
Alright, don’t bother Xiao Fei anymore.
By the way, Xiao Fei, do you need our help with anything?”
“No need, Mom.”
After watching Xiao Fei cook for a little while longer, the three of them finally left.
In the evening.
Both families sat around the dining table.
Beside them were two baby strollers with three little ones resting inside.
On the living room TV, the Spring Festival Gala was playing.
As the sound of the gala filled the room, Tang Yuxin suddenly thought of a certain website.
“Hubby!
Didn’t you perform in the New Year’s event on that website?”
“Yes, I know.”
“Aren’t you going to watch it?”
When Tang Yuxin ntioned this, the older family mbers imdiately beca curious.
After asking around a bit, they learned that Xiao Fei was actually appearing in a program similar to an online Spring Festival Gala on the website.
Suddenly, the elder mbers were visibly intrigued.
They stopped watching the Spring Festival Gala altogether.
Xiao Jun simply went to the living room and said, “Co on, Xiao Fei!
I rember this TV can cast phone screens.
Project your program over so we can watch it!”
Xiao Fei followed him to the living room, pressed a few buttons, and soon Xiao Fei’s segnt from the website’s New Year’s event was playing on the TV.
“It’s still early for my program; everyone, go ahead and eat.”
At Xiao Fei’s urging, Xiao Jun and the curious elders returned to the dining table.
Glasses clinked and laughter filled the room—it was a joyful scene.
After dinner, Tang Yuxin, Wang Fang, and Mrs.
Tang took the initiative to tidy up the dishes.
Xiao Fei stayed in the living room to feed the babies.
Tang Dingyuan couldn’t resist and strolled onto the balcony for a smoke.
When Xiao Jun noticed, he followed along.
Not long after, when the won finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, Xiao Fei’s earlier program was playing on the TV.
Recognizing this program, Tang Yuxin cheered, “Dad!
Mom!
Co quickly!
Xiao Fei’s segnt is next!”
Hearing Tang Yuxin’s voice, the two n chatting while smoking on the balcony stubbed out their cigarettes and ca inside, sitting on the sofa expectantly.
“Why hasn’t it started yet?”
“Almost, almost!”
“These young ladies dancing are pretty impressive.”
“You dirty old man—what are you thinking?!”
The room erupted in laughter once again.
After the dance segnt ended, it was ti for each content creator to deliver their New Year’s greetings on screen.
Following those greetings, the stage suddenly dimd.
“It’s starting, starting!”
Tang Yuxin was visibly excited.
The stage lights gradually illuminated.
Xiao Fei, Yu Gaoshan, and the Middle East bandit appeared together.
Seeing Xiao Fei’s ancient costu, the elder family mbers clicked their tongues in amazent.
“I have to say, Xiao Fei looks really good in this outfit.”
“What’s up with the guy in the middle?
He looks like a terrorist.”
“That… That must be Yu Gaoshan, right?
He’s in it too?”
Apparently, Tang Dingyuan knew about Yu Gaoshan.
Seeing Xiao Fei perform alongside Yu Gaoshan left Tang Dingyuan wide-eyed in surprise.
At the sa ti, since projecting onto the TV didn’t display any on-screen comnts, Tang Yuxin was glued to her phone.
[It’s here!
My most anticipated segnt has arrived!]
[Xiao Fei up, up, up!]
[Go Yu Gaoshan!]
[Am I the only one paying attention to the Middle East bandit?]
[Ca over from Weibo—Is this the hero brother’s program?]
[Sisters, I’m already excited—what about you?]
[Back off, “younger sisters”!]
[Protect the best little brother in the world!]
Reading the barrage of comnts, Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Clearly, most of the comnts were about Xiao Fei and Yu Gaoshan, especially Xiao Fei.
The comnts were filled with confessions and declarations of love.
Tang Yuxin muttered, “…Definitely a bunch of bratty younger sisters!”
Turning to smile at Xiao Fei beside her, Tang Yuxin’s eyes twinkled for a mont.
Suddenly, she threw her arms around his and snuggled close, taking a selfie of the two of them.
Then, Tang Yuxin posted the photo under the account of “Family with Three Treasures,” adding a line of text:
[The first New Year spent together with you, and I look forward to spending every New Year with you from now on.
Love you!]
After pressing send, Tang Yuxin raised her chin proudly like a victorious rooster.
“Compete with ?!”
