I really don't want to show off my love

Chapter 247 New Year's Eve [Please subscribe, please vote! ]

An Ran secretly complained about a naughty little devil in her heart.

Based on his understanding of the woman, she probably said that on purpose.

Otherwise, why would you say such a thing for no reason?
It was obvious that they had dug a pit and were waiting for him to jump into it!
An Ran looked somewhat helpless. After a pause, she could only say, "Why don't you drive..."

"Hehe~ Don't worry! I'm an experienced driver, and I always drive very steadily." Gu Yao smiled sweetly at An Ran, then started the car.

An Ran silently fastened her seat belt, looked straight ahead, stretched her legs, and put her feet against the front of the car.

Fine.

He admitted that he was a little panicked now.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Gu Yao was just teasing him, but once the thought came to his mind, he couldn't get rid of it.

Maybe this is what is called a psychological effect?

Evil bad woman!

After Gu Yao started the car, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she quietly glanced at An Ran beside her through the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Little brother, you seem very nervous?"

"No, no." An Ran said, but one hand quietly pinched the seat belt in front of her.

"Don't worry, don't worry, sister drives very steadily!" A hint of cunning flashed in Gu Yao's eyes, and then she pulled the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator decisively.

Feeling the push from behind, Anran subconsciously held her breath.

However, there was no famous scene where the hood of the car was broken when the accelerator was stepped on.

In short, the car was on the road safely.

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Sister Yaoyao steering the car in an orderly manner.

"Just to scare me..." An Ran lowered her head and muttered softly.

"Brother, what did you say?"

When An Ran looked up, she saw Gu Yao looking at her with a smile in the rearview mirror.

"Drive carefully." An Ran couldn't help but scold softly.

"Oh..." Gu Yao stuck out her tongue, retracted her gaze, and drove obediently.

Seeing that the little goblin was no longer making trouble, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window.

In the winter in Shanghai, the days are always short. It’s only around five or six o’clock and the sky is already getting dark.

The street lights were lit early, and the warm yellow light illuminated the road ahead. A row of Chinese knots were hung on both sides of the road, fluttering in the wind.

Anran looked at the scenery outside the window, and a thought inexplicably arose in her mind - the New Year is really coming.

About fifteen minutes later, the two arrived safely at Jinyuan Apartment.

Gu Yao even demonstrated how to reverse into a parking space in front of An Ran, and then looked at An Ran with a smug look on her face: "Little brother, am I driving steadily?"

"Well...stable!" An Ran hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.

Sister Yaoyao, are you driving steadily?
Tsk~ Why does it feel a little bit off?

No, this is a woman who is not right.

"Okay, let's go up~"

"Ah."

An Ran got out of the car, walked to the trunk and took out everything inside, then went upstairs with Gu Yao.

Gu Yao turned around and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to help you get it?"

An Ran glanced at Gu Yao and curled her lips: "No need."

You ask me if I want you to help me get it, but why don’t you put your hands behind your back?
Even if it's just to please us, can you please be a little more serious?

An Ran grumbled to herself for a while, but didn't say much.

Although there were a lot of things, it was still manageable for him as he could carry them upstairs.

When they came upstairs, Gu Yao opened the door and walked in first. After taking off his shoes, he did not forget An Ran and helped him carry all the things to the kitchen.

An Ran followed Gu Yao into the kitchen, took one look at the pile of things on the table, and helped Gu Yao tidy them up.

When they were shopping today, they bought a lot of meat, including lamb, beef, chicken, and all kinds of meat.

Although I will be returning to Pengcheng tomorrow, the meat and other things can be kept in the freezer so they won't go bad for a while.

Moreover, after entering January, prices will rise slightly, so it’s a good idea to stock up early.

Of course, An Ran didn't know this because he never cared about it. It was Gu Yao who told him.

Well! Sister Yaoyao is very virtuous, the kind of girl who knows how to manage the household frugally!
"Junior brother, you have never accompanied your mother to buy groceries before!" Gu Yao asked with some doubt.

"Yes, but I was pulled out to act as a tool, so I didn't care much. I just followed behind and carried things." An Ran shrugged and answered innocently.

Gu Yao: “…”

……

The night is getting darker.

It was windy in the city, and the cold wind was blowing outside the window.

There is no air conditioning in the kitchen, but after all, the space is not big. As long as the windows and the door are closed, it won’t be particularly cold for two people staying inside.

In addition, because of the small hot pot, the steam coming out of the pot caused a layer of fog to appear on the windows.

"Fatty, do you want some vegetables?" Gu Yao was picking vegetables when she suddenly saw the fat guy coming over. She smiled and took a piece of vegetable leaf and put it to his mouth.

"How could this kid eat greens..."

Before An Ran finished her words, the fat guy opened his mouth and bit the vegetable leaf into his mouth.

"Meow~" The fat guy tilted his little head, looked at An Ran with disdain, and made a meow sound.

She eats everything the beautiful sister feeds her!

An Ran: () You want to eat too, right?

Fat house:?
You're insulting me, right?

It is easy to make a small hot pot at home. Just prepare the pot base, then put some meatballs, some vegetables, some meat rolls, tripe, etc. for shabu-shabu, and you're done.

As for hotpot, it is always meant to be eaten while being boiled. As for putting everything into the pot at once, is it called malatang or oden?
Anyway, eating hotpot must have some sense of ritual!
In order to reward Anran for his hard work in the exams over the past two days, Gu Yao specially fried him a dish of beef and vegetables.

The two of them sat opposite each other at the table, and the fat little comrade jumped onto the chair in the middle, scratching the corner of the table with his little paws, indicating that this was his position.

"Be good, Fatty, and don't move. It's very hot." Gu Yao was a little afraid that Fatty might get upset and jump into the pot and become an ingredient, so she reached out and carried her to the ground.

"Meow!" After the fat guy landed on the ground, he came up again and rubbed Gu Yao's ankle under the table with his big head.

"Hehe, fat guy, do you want to warm my feet?" Seeing this scene, Gu Yao immediately laughed happily, and rubbed the fat guy's belly with her feet wearing white socks.

The fat guy didn't resist, he just fell to the ground and allowed Gu Yao to "ravage" him.

An Ran looked at the kid wearing white socks under the table, and for a moment she didn't know who to envy...

Wait, why should he envy this kid? He doesn't have a masochistic tendency.

An Ran's expression was slightly strange, and she silently looked away.

Weird! Very weird!
Before long, the soup in the pot began to boil, bubbling, and Gu Yao began to busily put things into the pot.

First put in the ones that are harder to cook, such as radishes, then a plate of meatballs, and some more vegetables, so the pot seems a little full.

An Ran looked at Gu Yao who was busy in front of her, and felt a little warm in her heart. She stood up and walked behind Gu Yao, took off the hair tie on her wrist, and tied up Gu Yao's hair.

"mua~" Gu Yao shook her little head, turned around and kissed An Ran on the face. An Ran smiled dotingly, rubbed Gu Yao's little head, sat back, picked up a piece of freshly cut beef and put it in the pot.

After it was cooked, it was dipped in sauce and placed in Gu Yao's bowl.

The first piece of shabu-shabu meat belongs to my little baby.

Gu Yao suddenly smiled sweetly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat slice, put it in her mouth, and started chewing.

"How about it?"

"Well, the time is just right!" Gu Yao nodded obediently.

"That's fine."

At this time, the second piece of shabu-shabu meat was ready. An Ran was about to eat it herself when she suddenly realized that someone seemed to be staring at her.

When he lowered his head, he saw that the fat young comrade had come to him without him noticing at some point.

There was no need to scratch him with its claws. It just squatted beside him obediently, tilting its big head and blinking its big, sparkling eyes.

This little kitty is very polite.

Well... let's give this piece of hot pot meat to the kitten.

"Little brother, shall we go back tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, go to bed early today. The flight is booked for nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but it's better to go earlier. After all, it's a holiday."

"I know~" Gu Yao nodded her head obediently. Thinking about going back to Pengcheng with An Ran tomorrow, she felt a little nervous.

An Ran looked at Sister Yaoyao and asked, "How about calling my mom?"

"Now?"

"Yeah, she's probably eating too."

As An Ran spoke, she took out her cell phone and called her mother.

The call was quickly connected, and my mother's familiar face appeared on the screen.

"Hey, how come Young Master An has time to call me?" Mu Yaoqing asked with a smile, looking at the silly boy on the phone screen.

"It's been a while since I last called you. I missed you, so I called you." An Ran curled her lips and ignored her mother's sarcasm.

Don’t ask, it’s just a habit.

At this time, a man's voice came from the side: "Is it An Ran?"

After a while, another person appeared next to Mu Yaoqing on the screen. It was our domineering president, An Tianhong.

Commonly known as An Ran's father.

"Dad, have you eaten?" An Ran greeted him with a smile when she saw him.

"Eat, eat."

"Have you eaten?"

"I'm eating. Today is New Year's Eve, so I made a hotpot. Yaoyao is also here. I'll give her the phone now." An Ran said and handed the phone to Gu Yao.

When An Ran made the call, Gu Yao was listening confidently beside her. When she heard that An Ran's father was also there, she took the phone nervously and looked at the screen timidly.

Seeing Gu Yao, Mu Yaoqing's voice was obviously a little happier: "Hey, Yaoyao is here too?"

An Ran was listening at the side and couldn't help but curl her lips.

I'm not jealous!
"Uncle and aunt, good evening!" Gu Yao also adjusted her mood, greeted them obediently, and looked at the two people on the other side of the video.

Although she had had video calls with Mu Yaoqing several times before, it seemed to be the first time she met An Tianhong on video.

The main reason is that the domineering president is always very busy, and even in the WeChat group, he is rarely seen speaking.

"Haha, good evening." Seeing Gu Yao, the two greeted her with a smile.

An Ran looked at Sister Yao Yao, who was chatting harmoniously with her parents, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Well, this atmosphere is pretty good.

"I just heard An Ran say, are you guys having hotpot today?"

"Yes, uncle and aunt, let me show you~" Gu Yao said, and turned the phone to rear position, then scanned the table.

Then the camera accidentally tilted and captured An Ran, who was eating hard next to her.

When Mu Yaoqing saw this scene, she immediately curled her lips and complained: "Oh, someone is eating happily. Didn't you just say you missed me?"

Hearing the sound, An Ran, who was chewing a bone, paused and raised his head with a confused look on his face.

Why is there still something to do with him?
Oh ~
It turns out that the little goblin has rebelled.

Seeing this, Gu Yao stuck out her tongue innocently and blinked her big eyes to show that she didn't mean it, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

There is no other way.

Although she didn't mean to do it, she just thought it was so funny!
An Ran rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, then came over and smiled awkwardly: "I'm really hungry, so I'll eat first while you guys are chatting."

"Okay, okay, you haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and eat. We'll meet tomorrow, and we'll talk then. By the way, Ranran, send me your flight information later, and your dad and I will pick you up."

"Okay." An Ran replied with a smile.

After the call was hung up, he sighed softly.

Seeing this, Gu Yao looked at An Ran strangely and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, An Ran sighed faintly: "I suddenly feel a little envious..."

"Ah?" Gu Yao looked confused.

"Nothing." An Ran shook her head and didn't say anything more.

He briefly recalled it, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed that this was the second time that Mu Yaoqing took the initiative to pick him up at the airport when he was on vacation and going home.

Well, the first time I came to pick him up, I vaguely remember how I was treated when he first came home when he just started college.

As for what happened next...two words, haha!
"Oh~" Gu Yao blinked, looked at An Ran for a while, and didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Yao looked down at the bowl in front of her and realized that An Ran had eaten a lot of meat while she was on the phone, and her bowl was full!
"Why are there so many~"

"Eat quickly, it will get cold later."

"Hehe, you eat too!" Gu Yao dipped the hot pot meat in the sauce and handed it to An Ran's mouth.

An Ran took a bite of the meat. Although it was all meat she cooked herself, she didn’t know why she felt that it tasted better after being touched by Gu Yao.
Gu Yao was eating the shabu-shabu meat in the bowl, and suddenly raised her head and smiled sweetly at An Ran: "But... Junior brother, thank you."

In fact, An Ran could still figure out why she made that call just now.

It's just that I saw that she was a little nervous about tomorrow's events, so I thought of giving her a call first so that she could be mentally prepared and feel at ease.

After making this call, Gu Yao did feel a lot more relaxed...

Especially when she met An Ran's father and saw that he was gentle towards her, she felt relieved.

An Ran also smiled, with a hint of doting in her eyes.

After dinner and clearing the table, An Ran and Gu Yao watched TV in the living room for a while.

boom! boom! boom!
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out in the distance.

"Someone is setting off fireworks?" Gu Yao stood up in surprise and trotted to the kitchen. She gently wiped away the mist on the window with her small hands and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance with her big, bright eyes.

An Ran also followed Gu Yao into the kitchen, stood behind him, gently hugged her slender waist, and looked at the fireworks in the distance.

The new year is coming.
