今晚家里没人叫大声点

Chapter 20: Let happiness blossom (Grand Finale)

On the last evening of the year, the two of them went back to their own household and ate with their families. Chen Xiao was reluctant to go when he left, feeling empty without Gu MengYang on such a big day.

Mama Chen patted his head: “That’s how it works when you can’t see each other, but think of the future prospects! The days when you will be together are long! Just don’t get tired of it.”

“Look at what you say, I can’t stand how willing you are to give me up as a good daughter-in-law.”

Gu MengYang, who had sent him down the stairs, flushed and pinched down on his hand. Chen Xiao’s heart was pinched and felt itchy. He held the other’s hand and gently drew a circle on his palm.

“*cough cough*!”

Papa Chen coughed, shocking Gu MengYang into quickly tugging his hand away. Even his neck was red.

Chen Xiao was happy in his heart, the shy little slag man came back, it seems that, in the future, I’ll have to take him home more often!

After eating a New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening, Chen Xiao’s family of three walked slowly home. The shops on the street were closed. It was a little cold, but occasionally some kids ran out and set off fireworks, glittering colorfully in the night. On one side, someone had turned on a TV early in the window, waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The voices of the entire family laughing also floated out from time to time.

(Spring Festival Gala: national CCTV program with comedy sketches, songs and dance, etc.)

Chen Xiao was holding his mom’s hand on one side, his dad’s on the other. His heart was warm and he was wearing the scarf Gu MengYang bought around his neck. He wasn’t going to tell the man that he secretly switched them, what he was wearing right now was Gu MengYang’s, and it carried his scent.

He took a deep sniff and felt that the tip of his nose was full of that man’s taste, so he pulled out his phone and prepared to send a text.

[Little slag man, what are you doing?]

After a while, the other side replied.

[Waiting for you.]

Ah? Why wait for me? By this time, Chen Xiao reached the downstairs of his household. He froze for a moment as he was about to call and looked up. He saw a man under the streetlight who he could recognize just looking at his back profile. The warm yellow light outlined his figure and floating dust around him could be seen in the air.

“Gu MengYang?!”

Gu MengYang turned around and smiled at him. He gave Chen Xiao’s parents New Years greetings and then said to him: “I wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala with you, so I came over…..”

Chen Xiao pressed his lips together, thinking, this is the first time I’ve ever been so happy that I almost cried.

So the family sat together on the living room couch and watched the TV. Clearly, he was already bored with the program, but Chen Xiao felt that it was great to just take a good look, have a taste. When they all looked at the show, he was just giggling all by himself with a stupid smile. The other three people stared at him, stunned. Even if someone was singing, he could suddenly burst into laughter. Mama Chen was so scared she directly checked his head.

As the countdown was running, Chen Xiao was excited and a little unable to control himself, pulling Gu MengYang and running to the balcony. In that moment, as the large and small fireworks exploded in the air together, they kissed each other.

“Chen Xiao, happy New Year.” The soft, quick voice of the other reached his ears clearly even in the roar of fireworks and the cheers in the distance.

“The same to you.”

They smiled and continued to kiss each other. In this corner of the city illuminated by fireworks, the cold night was replaced by warmth.
