Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 155: On the Eve of Leaving Home (Please Read~)

Chen Chen put down the teacup in his hand, approached the box curiously, and gently touched the covers of the red envelopes.
Some are smooth and delicate, while others have some textures, each one reveals a different texture and story.

The red envelopes on top are newer, while some of the red envelopes on the bottom have turned yellow.

The styles are all from more than ten years ago. Although they are very rustic, they have a unique sense of familiarity.

Chen Chen never dreamed that what his parents said when he was a child, "You are still too young, so your parents will save the red envelopes for you first, and will return them to you when you grow up," turned out to be true.

My mind was filled with a thousand thoughts at once.

He thought for a while and said:

"Dad, please continue to keep these red envelopes for me."

He is not short of money now, so he does not plan to use these red envelopes.

However, Chen Chen shook his head and looked firmly at the red envelopes in the box: "No, I want to keep them here."

"Okay, whenever you need money, just come to me." Chen Jianwen nodded in understanding, then picked up the box and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, stopped and added: "By the way, where is your red envelope this year? Put it in too."

Chen Chen said, "Dad, I'm already this old, I'll keep this year's red envelope for myself."

"No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in Daddy's eyes."

After saying that, Chen Jianwen carried the box back to the room.

No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in your father's eyes.

These words, like warm sunshine penetrating the clouds, illuminated Chen Chen's heart, and like a gentle breeze, rippled back and forth in his heart, bringing him endless emotion and comfort.

……

As the night deepens, the temperature gets lower and lower.

The father and son simply cleaned up the mess and returned to the house.

Chen Chen came to the second floor. Lin Muxi was drawing in her room. When she saw Lin Muxi standing at the door looking at her, she immediately hid the painting.

"If you dare to ask me again, I will tell my aunt loudly that you are bullying me."

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile on his lips: "What are you thinking about? I just want to ask you, do you want to take a shower now or later?"

Lin Muxi's cheeks instantly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly: "You wash first."

After saying that, she quickly immersed herself in the world of drawing paper like a shy kitten.

Chen Chen chuckled, turned around and went back to his room, taking out a set of comfortable pajamas from the closet.

Then he walked out and went into the bathroom.

Looking at Chen Chen's back as he walked out, Lin Muxi let out a long sigh.

She unfolded the drawing paper. What was drawn on it was a half-naked Chen Chen, with strong arms, a broad chest, eight-pack abs, and a mermaid line...

After taking a shower, Chen Chen sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.

Tonight, the space on the second floor belongs to only the two of them. Although Yuanyuan usually stays in the room at home most of the time, the feeling is always different.

Lin Muxi came out of the room with pajamas and walked into the bathroom silently.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard from inside.

Chen Chen was bored and changing channels. He clicked all the channels but couldn't find what he wanted to watch.

It’s really strange. When I was a child, I would watch TV for a while even if I was competing with my parents.

When I grew up, I could watch it anytime I wanted, but I lost the motivation to watch it.

Not finding the program he wanted to watch, Chen Chen turned off the TV and returned to his room. He lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone to watch videos.

About half an hour later, Lin Muxi came out of the shower.

With a fresh breath, she quietly slipped into Chen Chen's bed. The two of them lay side by side, browsing the wonderful world on the phone screen together, enjoying this rare intimacy and tranquility.

……

The next day, Liu Xiuying got up early, prepared breakfast, and went to work with Chen Jianwen.

On the third day, the same thing happened.

……

On the evening of the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, a family of four sat at the dining table and ate.

Liu Xiuying suddenly said:
"After dinner, you and Xiaoxi will check what needs to be packed and prepare in advance so that we won't be in a rush when we leave tomorrow."

Chen Chen quickly took a mouthful of rice and said, "Okay, Mom."

"There's a lot of food at home, take it all with you."

Chen Chen shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome. I don't want to bring too many things."

He hates carrying too many things when going out.

Generally, he would take as much as the suitcase could hold, and he would not take anything more than that.

Liu Xiuying said:
"That's no problem. Your dad will drive you to the station. You just need to take your things to the car. Once you get there, you can just take a taxi back to school. It's so convenient."

Chen Jianwen also echoed, "Yeah, your mom and I can't finish all this food at home. Every year, these things are wasted in the end, and it's a pity to throw them away. If you don't want to eat it, Xiaoxi can eat it too."

Lin Muxi was a little flattered.

She looked at Chen Chen quietly, as if seeking his opinion.

Chen Chen pondered for a moment and finally decided, "Let's just express it. It's more convenient this way."

"Will the express delivery fee be very expensive?" Liu Xiuying asked with some concern.

"No, it won't cost much." Chen Chen answered easily.

Time flies, and tomorrow is the day to leave.

Looking at the house where he had lived for more than half a month, Lin Muxi couldn't help feeling a little reluctant to leave.

If possible, she really hopes to live like this forever.

But, obviously, this is impossible.

After dinner, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi went upstairs to pack their luggage.

Lin Muxi returned to the room, took out the suitcase, opened it, then opened the cabinet, his eyes falling on the neatly arranged clothes inside.

Looking back at when she first came back with her senior, she was filled with uncertainty and anxiety. She didn't even take out her clothes for a while because she didn't know how long she could stay there.

Later she decided to stay, probably out of a psychological reason. She filled her closet with things, as if by doing so she could find a sense of belonging here.

Now, I have this sense of belonging, but it is time to leave.

Chen Chen doesn't have much to pack.

After packing everything he needed, his suitcase still had nearly half the space left.

Chen Chen carried the suitcase and came to Lin Muxi's room.

"Xiaoxi, I still have room here. If you can't fit it in, you can put it here."

Hearing Chen Chen's voice, Lin Muxi's thoughts were withdrawn, and he responded softly: "Yeah, okay."

When she lowered her head, she suddenly realized that her suitcase was still empty and not a single piece of clothing had been packed in.

At this time, Chen Chen had already walked into the room. He squatted down, looked at Lin Muxi and said, "Let me help you clean up."
