That night, both of them slept soundly.
The next morning, while half asleep and half awake, the cell phone on the bedside table rang suddenly, Duan Shutong hooked it up in a daze, saw that it was a video invitation from his sister, and connected without thinking.
Duan Shutong, who was blindfolded, didn't realize that there was another face on the screen.
"Sister, what's the matter?" He raised his hand uncomfortably, and turned sideways.
Duan Sifu remained expressionless, "... who is lying next to you?"
Duan Shutong:? ? ! !
The next second he sat up abruptly, so that Xi Duan's face no longer appeared on the screen, and the shame after being captured by Duan Sifu made his heart beat faster instantly.
At this time, Duan Shutong didn't want to hide anything, so he simply said, "It's Xi Duan."
The movement of receiving the video awakened Xi Duan, knowing that he was caught by Duan Sifu, he was not afraid, and greeted calmly, Duan Sifu was almost not laughed angrily.
It was one thing for her not to interfere with Duan Shutong's love affair, but seeing her younger brother being abducted into bed by another man with her own eyes, she still felt furious in her heart.
"My parents and I are going back to Shanquan County today. Let's go to the cemetery to visit our grandparents. We will celebrate the Spring Festival in Shanquan County this year." Duan Sifu didn't talk about the two of them on the phone. Chat. You should also pay attention, let parents have a good year."
After finishing speaking, he decisively hung up the video.
Duan Shutong: "..."
He looked at Xi Duan helplessly, and sighed: "Mom and Dad are coming to celebrate the New Year, so you have to take back what you left here first."
If Duan's father and Duan's mother really found out the clues, this year would not be easy.
Of course, Xi Duan understands this truth. Seeing that parents are not in a hurry, let's talk about it after the new year.
The snow last night only fell for a while, the outside was not covered by snow, and the traffic was still smooth.
After breakfast, Xi Duan went out to work, and sent a message to Uncle Zhang in the car: This year, we will celebrate the Chinese New Year in Shanquan County.
Uncle Zhang received the news and immediately told Xi Yu who was staying at home.
Xi Yu is on winter vacation, he didn't play like before, but studied quietly, he was very puzzled when he heard this, "Why?"
Uncle Sun didn't know why, so he just listened to what Mr. said, "It may be that Shanquan County is busy with affairs and can't come back for a while. Let's just go there."
"Okay." The young man drooped his head, "I originally wanted to wait for Brother Duan to return to Yan City for the New Year, so I could play with him."
In the afternoon, the Duan family's car was parked in the courtyard.
Duan Shutong went over to open the door for his mother and his sister, Dong Hanyue hugged him affectionately, held his face in his hands, looked left and right, after all, he didn't say he lost weight against his conscience.
Duan Sifu walked over, "Mom and Dad, I have something to talk to my little brother, you guys go ahead first."
He dragged him upstairs to the bedroom.
Duan Sifu looked around the room, with a half-smile, "Have you cleaned it up?"
Duan Shutong smiled, "I dare not let my parents have a bad year."
The two sat down one after another, Duan Sifu leaned on the sofa, crossed her legs, crossed her hands on her knees, and said with a serious face: "When did it happen?"
"Last year was National Day."
Duan Sifu was stunned, and smiled with her forehead, "Sure enough, my suspicion at the time was not wrong. He's going to take the high-speed train, it's hard for people not to doubt him."
Duan Shutong sighed, his sister was really sharp.
"Which step have we reached?"
Duan Shutong: "..." could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.
When my sister asks this question, I always feel hairy.
Duan Sifu: "You don't have to feel shy, to be honest, seeing you together this morning really surprised me."
She looked at Duan Shutong with complicated eyes, and said bluntly: "You have already..."
"No." Duan Shutong shook his head.
Duan Sifu nodded, she didn't care about her brother's night life, but there was one thing to confirm, "Do you and him have any plans in the future?"
There is a big difference between just being friends with benefits or being together sincerely.
Duan Shutong nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
"Parents are having a hard time." Duan Sifu was really worried that the second elder would be irritated.
Duan Shutong said firmly, "I understand."
He has liked this person in two lifetimes and will not give up.
Duan Sifu only has her career in her heart, and she has no grievances about who Duan Shutong is with, "You just need to be sensible."
New Year's Eve is approaching suddenly, and the streets and alleys are very lively.
Duan's father and Duan's mother have endured hardships, and they are considerate of the Duan family's helpers, so they let them go home for the New Year, so they do all the big and small things at home by themselves.
This is the first time for Duan Shutong to celebrate the Spring Festival with relatives who are connected by blood, and he is very excited.
Duan Shengye and Duan Sifu were still on the phone, and Dong Hanyue was annoyed when she saw it, so she drove them away and let them deal with things, so as not to stay in the kitchen and get in the way.
Only mother and son were left in the kitchen.
Seeing Duan Shutong's proficient work, Dong Hanyue was both proud and distressed. I am proud that my son has matured, and I feel sorry for the child who cooks and eats by himself.
But the child's father insisted that boys should exercise outside, but it was useless for her to persuade him.
"Tongtong, have you continued to contact the girls of the Zhang family?" Marriage is always the top priority in the hearts of parents.
Duan Shutong shook his head honestly, "No."
On the contrary, he still has WeChat contact with Miss Zhang's cousin, Song Chi, and the two occasionally discuss academic topics.
When I get older, I long to have a grandson, and Dong Hanyue is no exception.
Duan Sifu has a tough temper, no amount of persuasion will work, so she had to turn her mind on her son.
"Why don't mom introduce you again?"
Duan Shutong was really scared, so he directly borrowed his sister's famous saying: "I will not consider getting married until I am thirty."
Dong Hanyue: "...how did you learn this from your sister!"
Seeing that he didn't get in, Dong Hanyue sighed secretly, neither one nor two wanted to get married, and she didn't know when she would be a grandmother.
The WeChat reminder sounded, Duan Shutong wiped the water on his hands, and opened it to have a look.
Xi Yu: Brother Duan, you are also celebrating the New Year in Shanquan County! [circling circle.gif]
Duan Shutong: Also
Xi Yu: Uncle, for some reason, he suddenly said that he would celebrate the New Year in Shanquan County this year. Grandpa Sun and I came over. When we passed by your door, we saw Uncle Duan and said hello to Uncle Duan. [呲牙]
Duan Shutong was pleasantly surprised. He thought that he would not be able to see Xi Duan during the Chinese New Year in Shanquan County this year.
He held the phone and smirked, Dong Hanyue saw something was wrong, "Tongtong, what's the matter with you?"
As he spoke, he sneaked over to check his phone, wondering if something was wrong.
Duan Shutong quickly regained consciousness, stuffed the phone into his trouser pocket, and pretended to be calm, "Xi Yu sent me a message saying that this year he and his uncle are also celebrating the New Year here, and they just passed by the door and greeted Dad."
With a guilty conscience, he talked more than usual.
Dong Hanyue looked at him suspiciously, and didn't continue to search, saying: "Why are they celebrating the New Year here?"
Duan Shutong shook his head innocently, "I don't know either. How about I ask for you?"
Dong Hanyue: "No, no, I'll just say it casually." She doesn't like to gossip about other people's family.
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner contentedly, Duan Shutong rubbed his stomach and took a walk in the yard.
The other three were in a warm room. He was shivering against the cold wind and sent a text message to Xi Duan: Have you eaten yet
Xi Duan replied quickly: Well, I have eaten.
Duan Shutong: I ate too much and wanted to go out for a walk.
Xi Duan: I will accompany you.
Duan Shutong, who received the news, was about to go to the house to get a scarf, when he saw his father walking out with a solemn expression holding the chess set. When he saw him, he casually said, "I'll go to Xi's house."
Duan Shutong quickly caught up a few steps, "What are you doing at Xi's house?"
Duan Shengye's face was not angry and prestige, "I'm a little bored, ask Xi Duan if he is free, and play chess with him."
The two are considered to be of the same generation, and have cooperated many times in the mall, so they are fairly familiar with each other. Duan Shengye didn't know anyone else in Shanquan County, so it was reasonable to find Xi Duan when he was bored.
But in this way, Duan Shutong's plan to go for a walk and date fell through.
He watched Duan Shengye walking towards Xi's house, so he had no choice but to send a message to Xi Duan: My dad is going to play chess with you.
Xi Duan: Are you coming
Duan Shutong's eyes lit up, yes, he can go with his father, and it would be good to watch Xi Duan beside him.
So he stepped up to catch up with Duan Shengye.
Duan Shengye glanced at him, "What are you doing here?"
Duan Shutong said seriously, "I will learn chess from you."
"Didn't you dislike playing chess before?"
"Now I think playing chess is quite interesting."
Duan Shengye finally showed a gratified smile, "Then we have to study carefully later."
When he came to Xi's house, Xi Duan had already prepared a plate of tea and fruit. When he saw Duan Shengye, he smiled softly and said, "Duan Dong."
Duan Shengye knew that Duan Shutong had already mentioned it on WeChat, so he didn't hesitate to sit down and spread out the chessboard, "Black and white?"
Xi Duan was very respectful, "Please first."
Duan Shengye:? ? ? He has dealt with Xi Duan so much, and they are all considered equals. He has never been treated with such respect.
Although he found it strange, but his mind was on the chess game, so he put it aside.
After selecting the pieces, the two began to play chess seriously.
Duan Shutong originally wanted to stay by and watch the chess, but Xi Yu ran over and dragged him aside, and asked mysteriously, "Brother Duan, I ask you a question, and you have to answer me honestly."
"You ask."
The young man secretly glanced at Xi Duan, lowered his voice, "Is there something wrong with my uncle?"
"What's the matter?" Duan Shutong was at a loss.
Xi Yuren is a little ghost, "It's just that when I saw him send WeChat messages on his mobile phone, he smiled very... how should I put it, it just made me feel hairy. I have never seen him smile like this. Is he in a relationship?"
Duan Shutong: "... I'm in Shanquan County, and your uncle is in Yan City."
"That's right," Xi Yu made up the logic chain by himself, "You really shouldn't know."
Duan Shutong rubbed his nose guiltily, "If your uncle really has a situation, he won't hide it from you, don't worry."
Looking at the young man's ignorant eyes, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Xi Yu nodded, "If you know, you must tell me, I dare not ask him myself."
Duan Shutong smiled and said nothing.
Duan Shengye has a bit of a chess addiction. After fighting with Xi Duan for a few games, the outcome was almost evenly divided. He was about to play another game, but he was stopped by a phone call, so he regretted saying, "I'm going to take care of something first, and I'll be there today." this."
After finishing speaking, he left, and even threw the chess set to Duan Shutong to pack up.
The big boss also has the difficulties of the big boss.
Duan Shutong silently packed up the chess set and glanced at Xi Duan.
Xi Duan looked normal, and said to Xi Yu: "I'll go out for a while."
Xi Yu didn't suspect him, and watched helplessly as his uncle and Brother Duan left home.
Duan Shutong walked side by side with Xi Duan holding the chess set.
A gust of wind suddenly blew, and the cold passed over his cheeks and penetrated into his collar, making him shiver.
Xi Duan stopped, reached out and lifted the zipper of Duan Shutong's down jacket to the top, covering his entire neck, and put the hat on him.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Duan Shengye quickly dealt with an oolong, and was about to rush over to continue playing chess, but when he saw this picture, he stopped suddenly.
He frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
The author has something to say: Xi Duan: I won’t get on the expressway until I meet my parents. :)
