Chapter 186 New Year’s Eve

Sure enough, my cousin's eyes shone when she heard Liu Shuyao's answer.

"what? What!"

"My sister is in such good condition. Who is the dragon among people that you still need to take the initiative to pursue her?"

"Excellent!"

The corners of Liu Shuyao's mouth curled up as soon as he mentioned Xiang Ran.

"Yo yo yo, I like it so much!"

"Hmm~"

Liu Shuyao nodded sharply.

"He's very good~"

"My grades are very good, I'm handsome, I'm patient, I'm emotionally stable, I'm kind to me, I have plans for the future, and so on."

So the cousin who originally wanted to eat melon suddenly turned into a single dog who was shown affection~

what!

Why isn’t this orange sweet?

A little sour!

Compared with the noisy Liu Shuyao's house, Grandpa Xiang Ran's house is much quieter.

Originally, his family didn't have many relatives, and Xiang Ran only had two older brothers.

The fact that there are no girls in his family has always been a worry for Grandpa Xiang Ran, especially when the three brothers were still grown up. During the holidays, there was always a lot of noise in the house.

Either he used his toilet paper to bake potatoes in the yard, he hid the TV remote in the rice vat in the kitchen, or there was a big hole in the sofa cover for no apparent reason. There were many things like that.

There was never a moment of silence at home anyway.

Now I'm fine with not making trouble, but seeing that the eldest and younger children don't even have a relationship,

Every year when I go home, there are three bare poles.

He was so angry again!

Holding a cane and looking at his grandchildren standing in front of him,

"Sit first!"

"There's fruit on the table!"

Their family tradition is quite academic, so their chats are basically about posting articles and talking about work.

The old man felt very bored after hearing this.

He took his crutch and knocked it twice on the ground.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear how the first draft of the paper is going! What's the progress of the research!"

"I just want to ask, does the boss, the second, and the third have a partner?"

Every time this kind of moment comes, Xiang Ran's elder brother gets a chill down his back for no reason, but he has to bite the bullet.

"Grandpa, you also know that I work in a research institute, and I know so many people inside and outside. It's a pitiful small circle."

This wave is really a big hit!

Sighing to the old man,

"It's a blind date! Didn't your mother say you went on a blind date a while ago?"

"Nothing is too suitable."

"You're already 27! Be careful!"

"What about you?"

Looking at the old man towards the next person,

"Grandpa, the sc I submitted in the previous article"

Before Xiang Ran's second brother could finish speaking, he was hit by the old man.

"Shut up!"

"I don't want to hear what you voted for or what areas you voted for! Our family has no shortage of people publishing papers and no shortage of Ph.D.s!"

"I just want to ask if you have found a partner!"

"No."

Hearing these two words, Mr. Xiang frowned and kept his hand on his heart for a long time without taking it off, complaining.

"Ouch!"

"Everyone in our family is really pissing me off!"

"This second guy was in a relationship before. He went on a date with a girl and went to his own laboratory. He even said that he wanted to take her to demonstrate the experimental data!"

"I'm just asking, is this cinema tripping your legs, or is it blindfolding you so that people can't get in, right?"

This happened when his second brother was just a graduate student. He finally had a hint of love, but it was extinguished again for some reason. Then he was laughed at by his grandfather to this day. Every time he said it, he got angry. The people here hate iron but cannot make steel!

"You really made me unable to hold my head up when I went downstairs to play cards!"

"I have never fallen behind others in anything in my life. Who knew I would be corrupted by you brats in my later years!"

"Old Wangtou is already showing off his great-great-grandchildren. None of my grandchildren can even find girlfriends!"

After being scolded all the way, Mr. Xiang was a little tired.

I took a sip of tea to moisten my throat.

Perhaps considering that Xiang Ran was still young, he spoke a lot more tactfully.

"Your dad said you made a game yourself?"

"Uh-huh."

"It's a good thing for young people to have their own ideas, but although there is no limit to academics, there are wives. As for men, you can start your career at any time, and I am very relieved about our children, but love cannot be ignored. ah!"

"So fall in love as soon as possible while you're in college!"

"Otherwise, look at your eldest brother and second brother! They're really screwed!"

After saying that, he coughed a few times.

"Cough cough~"

Xiang Ran glanced at his scolded brothers, patted his grandfather on the back and took a breath.

"Grandpa, I have a girlfriend."

"what?"

When Mr. Xiang heard this, his figure, which had been drawn together, suddenly straightened up a lot.

"Have a girlfriend?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, okay! Where is the girl? Tell grandpa quickly!"

Xiang Ran had no choice but to explain quickly.

"He's my classmate in high school and college, studying art."

"Oh, good, good, good, still an artist!"

"Let's talk, let's talk! Let's talk!"

"Oh, I finally heard some good news this year!"

The expression on Mr. Xiang's face was very happy, and he was obviously worried about the marriage of his children.

"You can play by yourselves. It's time for me to go play chess with Old Wangtou!"

So, just now, I was coughing violently, feeling uncomfortable here and there. The old man went out with the wind at his feet.

A few people were left stunned,

"Grandpa him"

"Your grandpa went out to show off! No need to ask!"

Teacher Lin was making dumplings in the kitchen when he heard the noise and came out to take a look at the children. As a result, he happened to hear the end of a few people's conversation.

"So no one asked me about my sci?"

The second brother spread his hands with a helpless expression.

"So when did sci become a rare thing in our family?"

The eldest brother followed, then adjusted his glasses frame, pulled Xiang Ran and said he wanted to see his game.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is quite satisfactory to Mr. Xiang.

He thinks it’s time to add a new chair to the dining table next year.

good good!

This is how life should be lived!

It was getting late, the cold wind was blowing through the window, and the stars were shining faintly under the night sky. Lanterns in every household swayed brightly in this night of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, adding a warm atmosphere to the New Year's Eve dinner.

The kitchen is filled with a strong aroma of vegetables, the smoke is filled under the bright yellow light, the soup is steaming from the pot, and the sound of hot cooking is intertwined with the aroma of oil.

The table is covered with a red New Year tablecloth and various New Year dishes are placed.

Fatty and lean braised pork, golden fish-flavored shredded pork, fragrant steamed scallops with garlic, steamed mandarin fish, paired with the fragrant onion, ginger and garlic sauce, scallops, sea cucumber and scallops stewed in chicken soup, rich and nourishing, braised squab, colorful The bright red color symbolizes the prosperous New Year; the pan-fried flower clams are golden and crispy.

A full table was set up. Xiang Ran took a photo and sent it to Liu Shuyao.

Xiang Ran: [Picture]

Xiang Ran: [Have you eaten? 】

Liu Shuyao played a few games with her cousin and received a WeChat message from her boyfriend.

Yaoyao: [It looks so rich! 】

Yaoyao: [We will eat soon too! 】

Xiang Ran: [Do you have any activities planned after dinner? 】

Yaoyao: [Just wait until midnight for New Year’s Eve! 】

Xiang Ran: [We are similar. 】

Yaoyao: [It’s like this every year, so boring. 】

Yaoyao: [But I have a boyfriend this year, so I’m still very lucky! 】

So Xiang Ran just chatted with Liu Shuyao for a while.

Time passed quite quickly.

At eleven o'clock, there were already the sounds of firecrackers being set off in the community, and the Spring Festival Gala on the TV happened to be showing the dancing part. Xiang Ran didn't even bother to look up.

On the contrary, my heart was tickled by the sound of the cannon.

Finally, I took a look at the messages on my phone.

Yaoyao: [I miss you a little~]

After pondering for a while,

I ran to talk to grandpa.

When Mr. Xiang heard that his grandson was going to find his girlfriend, he immediately waved his hand and let her go.

"go Go!"

"Be careful on the road! Oh, there are so many people at home. One more person is not more, and one less you is not more!"

New Year's Eve is a small matter, but spending time with your girlfriend is a big deal!

After finishing it, Grandpa said to Teacher Lin again,

Xiang Ran just ran away,

When Xiang Zongyun reacted,

He knew that his car keys were missing again!

Xiang Ran drove in the direction of Liu Shuyao's grandfather's house. The road in front of him was filled with a strong New Year atmosphere.

Both sides of the streets were decorated, and colorful lights lit up the entire city, twinkling like stars, adding a festive brilliance to this special moment.

The shops on the roadside hung festive Spring Festival couplets one after another. Although it was too late and the shops were closed, the red lanterns hung high in front of all the shops and swayed in the wind, seeming to express New Year's blessings.

There was a burst of cheers mixed with crackling sounds, and firecrackers bloomed in the sky, decorating the night sky like bright stars.

The brilliant light of fireworks is projected on the surrounding buildings, instantly decorating the streets like a dream.

Xiang Ran stepped on the accelerator a little faster, as if he was a little impatient.

The security at Liu Shuyao's grandfather's house is still very strict, and you can't get in even if you register, and you have to call the owner.

So Xiang Ran had no choice but to park the car at the gate of the community, and then sent a message to Liu Shuyao,

Xiang Ran: [Location]

Liu Shuyao couldn't believe it when she received the message.

Yaoyao: [? ? ? 】

Xiang Ran: [Yeah. 】

Yaoyao: [Ahhhhh! 】

Xiang Ran: [I'm at the gate of the community, but the security guy won't let me in. 】

Then no one responded on the other end of the phone.

Grandpa Liu Shuyao's house was still noisy. Children were playing games, adults were playing mahjong and chatting. No one cared what she was doing.

So Liu Shuyao put on her coat, went to find her mother downstairs, spoke to her, and she ran away.

Xiang Ran leaned against the car door and waited for his girlfriend.

Liu Shuyao came out in a hurry, without a scarf and without zipping up her clothes.

When I ran towards the street light, I was immediately hugged by my boyfriend.

Liu Shuyao's eyes seemed to contain the Milky Way, and she looked at Xiang Ran with crooked eyebrows. When she spoke, she could hear some excitement in her voice.

"How did you come?"

That slightly rising tone swept through Xiang Ran's heart like Eleven's tail. It was so charming~

He said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say you missed me?"

Liu Shuyao's face became even more joyful.

He pouted, "Just do whatever I say!"

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, Liu Shuyao raised her head. The night wind picked up her hair and blew it against the side of Xiang Ran's face, leaving a subtle touch.

The ambiguous atmosphere blends into the humid temperature of the winter night, as if spreading silent temptation on the soft lips.

"Would you like to get in the car? It's quite cold outside."

Xiang Ran gathered Liu Shuyao's coat and led the people back to the car.

It's really warm in the car.

Liu Shuyao took out her phone and looked at it.

"It's New Year's Eve at midnight in half an hour!"

"Ah."

Xiang Ran responded, and then asked,

"Are there any fireworks at your grandpa's house?"

"At most, you can just put them anywhere in your yard. You won't see the big and beautiful ones anymore."

"Do you want to go see it?"

Liu Shuyao tilted his head, "Did you say you were going to the city?"

"Ah."

Xiang Ran lowered his head and was already looking for a place dedicated to setting off fireworks.

"It's not too far from here. It's almost half an hour."

As he spoke, he handed the phone to Liu Shuyao.

"Can I go?"

Liu Shuyao was a little excited. She originally thought it would be a surprise for the two of them to meet each other, but now they can also watch the New Year's Eve fireworks together. It's another romantic night~

"Let's go!"

I didn’t expect that there would be so many people in the square on New Year’s Eve in the cold winter.

Xiang Ran even parked the car in another block, and the two walked over hand in hand.

The colorful neon lights illuminate the bustling crowd, making it very lively.

Xiang Ran held his girlfriend's hand tightly all the way, fearing that the two of them would get separated by accident.

After finally finding a place, Xiang Ran began to worry about whether his girlfriend was wearing warm clothes. After all, it would take a while before he could like her. Seeing Liu Shuyao coming out without a scarf, Xiang Ran frowned.

He zipped Liu Shuyao's coat to the top and tied his hair in. This was done.

"Are your hands cold?"

"If it's cold, put it in my pocket!"

Liu Shuyao nodded obediently. In fact, it seemed that the two of them had never let go of their hands tonight.

The countdown numbers are quietly displayed on the huge screen.

The value decreases every second, and every bell is accompanied by the splendor of fireworks.

Ten, nine, eight, the time is gradually approaching, and the hustle and bustle in the square is also rising in the rhythm of this countdown.

Xiang Ran and Liu Shuyao also joined the countdown feast.

They held hands and stared intently at the countdown screen.

Seven, six, five, every second passes like a heartbeat, making people's expectations and excitement continue to rise.

When the final number became one, the entire square burst into cheers.

The fireworks reached their peak at this moment, like thousands of stars bursting out at the same time, lighting up the night sky.

The silver-white fireworks flickered like the Milky Way, leaving a bright arc across the night sky. Gorgeous red sparks spurted out, burning like passionate flames, projecting a warm brilliance.

Amid huge cheers,

Many people were also clasping their hands, and Liu Shuyao followed suit.

Xiang Ran smiled and refused to comment on this childish behavior, but still asked:

"What wish did you make?"

Liu Shuyao's almond-shaped eyes were particularly bright in the fireworks, and she blinked at her boyfriend.

He muttered:

"It won't work if you say it!"

Xiang Ran: "How can I help you realize it if you don't tell me?"

This sentence made Liu Shuyao blush, biting her lower lip, and breathing a little faster.

Thinking in my mind:

Who on earth is saying that science and engineering men can’t fall in love~
