Chapter 16
This heavy snow lasted for a long time, and it still didn't stop until New Year's Day.
The Xiao Mansion was also decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was actually extremely strange, as there had never been such a scene in previous years.
When Xiao Yuchen entered the mansion, he was stunned for three seconds. He looked at the two red lanterns with blessings on them again, and was sure that this was his mansion.
As soon as he walked forward, the door suddenly opened, and Lu Mu came out from the door, followed by A, A, A, A, and A, four.
A Si smiled so much that his eyes were squinted, bouncing around and pointing to people, "Isn't Boss pretty?"
When I was a child, A Si always envied others to celebrate New Year's Day, posting red paper, lighting red lanterns, wearing new clothes, and looking happy on their faces.
Later, following Xiao Yuchen had this condition, but the boss has never been very keen on it, and usually there is no one to see.
It was even a little cooler than usual today.
Now Lu Mu is considered a half-master, so Asi 'asked for instructions' and happily started working.
Xiao Yuchen took a few steps forward and shook Lu Mu's hand, "Are you busy too? Are you tired?"
A Si who watched the boss pass by helplessly:? ? ? ?
"It's okay." Lu Mu couldn't help laughing, "Most of them were made by Jiasi."
A fourth raised his smiling face again, and ran in front of Xiao Yuchen, with a smug face and a look of humility in his eyes.
"Then it's hard work for you to let him mess around."
A four waiting for praise:? ? ? ?
"Boss," Asi called out miserably.
Xiao Yuchen led the people in, smiled and waved his hands, "You guys are on vacation, let's go out and play."
A Si's eyes lit up, and he was so happy that he was about to jump up.
God knows how long he hasn't been out of the house.
"Together with your third brother." Xiao Yuchen added, and then said to Jiasan: "Take care of him and don't cause trouble."
"Oh, I don't," Asi still wanted to struggle, but Xiao Yuchen didn't intend to accept it, so he waved his hand to make a final decision.
The huge Xiao Mansion was very quiet, Xiao Yuchen pushed back the maid, took the umbrella and put it on top of the two of them.
"Change clothes, let's go out." Xiao Yuchen looked sideways at Lu Mu.
The light of the red lantern also dyes people, but the white jade face is still cold, the eyelids are drooping, and the eyelashes as black as crow feathers are like two small fans.
"No hurry, eat something before going out, tonight is the New Year's Eve dinner."
Lu Mu turned his head sideways.
Xiao Yuchen was taken aback. How long has it been since he had a New Year's Eve dinner?
Asi was away, and there was no twitter, so Xiao Yuchen would not know that this not-so-rich dinner was made by Lu Mu himself.
He circled around the food twice, his face became more and more serious, "Is that what they did to you?"
"Huh?" Lu Mu had already sat down to set the dishes, and raised his head in doubt.
"I did this to send off beggars. I'm getting more and more courageous."
Xiao Yuchen was furious, and he became even busier in the next few days, leaving early and returning late, it was not easy to come back.
They didn't eat together.
Once when he came back, there was no heater in the room. At that time, Lu Mu said that it was not cold, but now that he thought about it, he might have been cheated.
When did such a person exist in his house?Still pretending to be good in front of him.
Lu Mu lowered his head and was silent for two or three seconds: "I think it's okay."
In fact, it is really not bad, three dishes and one soup, although it is not complete in color, flavor and taste, but the basic level is still there.
"You don't have to be so polite to them, spend so much money to make me look like this!" Xiao Yuchen sneered, "I have to see who is so courageous today."
He finally had a New Year's Eve dinner, and he still made it like this!
The hem of the clothes was pulled, Xiao Yuchen turned his head.
Lu Mu held the hem of the man's clothes with his hands, but his head was hanging down, and his shoulders and neck stretched out in a beautiful arc.
"I did it."
Xiao Yuchen: ...
As if being hit hard with a stick, he was a little dizzy, watching the crimson climb up Lu Mu's earlobe, Xiao Yuchen wanted to curse.
Xiao Yuchen didn't know how to speak until he sat down, "I just,"
Lu Mu has returned to normal, and there is no embarrassment on his face: "Try it first, if it really doesn't work, we can go out to eat."
Xiao Yuchen quickly picked up the chopsticks, "Okay, why not, I'm just worried that they won't treat you well."
Lu Mu was noncommittal.
"You can actually cook." Xiao Yuchen now felt that the dish that didn't look good just now was very cute at this time, so he picked up a dumpling.
"I used to start the stove by myself when I couldn't eat enough in the military camp, and I gradually became better at it." Lu Mu also started to move his chopsticks, and lit two candles by the table, his eyebrows and eyes softened a lot.
"You still can't eat enough?" Xiao Yuchen was a little unbelievable, and couldn't help being surprised after eating the dumplings in one bite, "You made this stuffing too?"
Pork is usually used in the dumplings, but Xiao Yuchen prefers to eat shiitake mushrooms.
But even though he likes it, he never said that for a person like him, liking is a deadly weapon.
"Yeah." Lu Mu replied vaguely, obviously not having time to talk to him.
Xiao Yuchen stared at the person for two seconds, and a smile fainted in his eyes.
Snowflakes were flying outside the window, and there were only the two of them in the room, but he felt unprecedented excitement.
The more Xiao Yuchen ate, the more he felt a strange sense of familiarity. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "I feel like I've eaten the food you cooked before."
But he also knew that it was impossible, at the same time Xiao Yuchen remembered an important thing.
He just ate the food made by Lu Mu. If he had been poisoned, he would have died long ago.
Xiao Yuchen was shocked by himself, and didn't see the anticipation in Lu Mu's eyes when he heard him say that.
"Who knows, maybe you really ate it." Lu Mu's face was calm, as if it was just a joke.
Xiao Yuchen smiled, and suppressed the shock in his heart, "Why are you so cooperative with me today?"
"I'm in a good mood." Lu Mu replied casually, and stood up, "Let's go."
The moment he turned around, Lu Mu lowered his head, and a few traces of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He made sure once again that Xiao Yuchen really forgot.
Xiao Yuchen looked at the person who stood up, and the other person turned around without hesitation, making his heart chill.
When Lu Mu was in a daze, he had already reached the door, and when he saw that no one was moving, he turned his head slightly, "Let's go."
"Come and pull me." Xiao Yuchen sat with a rogue face.
Lu Mu didn't move, and the shadows were not very clear. Xiao Yuchen still smiled and looked at people stubbornly.
In the end, Lu Mu came over, and Xiao Yuchen grabbed the hand hanging by his side as soon as he moved.
Xiao Yuchen's strength was too great, Lu Mu was dragged staggeringly into the arms of the man, and before he could react, his ears were covered.
"I seem to care about you a little bit."
The warm breath brushed over the side of the neck, and there was that seemingly invisible kiss.
Lu Mu took a step back, subconsciously stretched out his hand and rubbed it, "What did you say?"
"It's fine if you don't hear it." Xiao Yuchen smiled and couldn't hide the complicated emotions in his eyes.
"Why are you covering me?" Just as Lu Mu said halfway, Xiao Yuchen had already grabbed Lu Mu's wrist and led him forward: "Let's go."
Lu Mu followed him a few steps, but still wanted to ask, "What did you say?"
Xiao Yuchen didn't open his mouth no matter how people asked.
Although it was late at this time, the streets were extremely lively.
The ice sculptures will be unfolded by the moat, or it can be said to be on the moat, and the lights will be made out of wrapping colorful paper.
This tradition also existed in previous years, but this year's snow was extraordinarily heavy, and the home game was held directly on the river.
When Xiao Yuchen wanted to fight with someone again, Lu Mu stopped him helplessly, "Let's buy a mask."
The man was frightened by Xiao Yuchen, and he hurriedly looked away, but he was not as peaceful as the people he met the previous two times, and he secretly glanced here.
"You were watching, so I poached your eyes." Xiao Yuchen sneered and threatened.
Seeing people look away angrily and leave, Xiao Yuchen gave up. He turned his head, "Why do you want to wear it? You feel uncomfortable."
Lu Mu was helpless. He felt that Xiao Yuchen had acted too much.
Even if you really like it, it's not such an exaggeration, right?
"Then there are many people looking at you, shouldn't I be angry too?"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up, and he smiled lowly: "Are you angry too, do you care?"
Lu Mu looked away, "I'm making a metaphor."
Xiao Yuchen took a look at him, and he felt that Lu Mu's cold and hard shell was slowly fading away, revealing his soft inside.
"Then buy it."
There are many people wearing masks, men and women of all colors walking around the ice rink wearing masks.
There are many masks, and most of them have stories.
Xiao Yuchen was too lazy to listen to the shopkeeper's eloquence, he immediately took a fancy to a red mask in the shape of a fox.
Foxes are usually white and charming, but this mask is glamorous red.
"This one suits you very well." Xiao Yuchen put it on for others, even though he knew it was perfect for him, he was momentarily stunned when Lu Mu actually put it on.
The reaction of the people around was even more obvious, and some even gasped.
The mask was beautiful, and Lu Mu's eyes seemed to give souls.
At that moment, many people were thinking that this might really be a fox fairy.
The shopkeeper was the first to react, and greeted the attracted people loudly, "Come here, there are various styles, let everyone choose."
Xiao Yuchen casually took a mask and pulled him away, the ghost-like one with fangs.
"what happened?"
Seeing Lu Mu staring at him, Xiao Yuchen unconsciously reached out and stroked the lower mask, which was fluffy and knocked on the fangs.
"It matches you very well." Lu Mu turned his head and said.
Much like a bandit leader.
With the occlusion of the mask, the sight of all colors is much less.
The ice sculptures are also divided into several sections, with animals and people, lifelike.
Lu Mu was obviously very interested, and Xiao Yuchen had to hold the person's hand tightly to prevent him from disappearing in a blink of an eye.
"looks good?"
"Yeah." Lu Mu nodded, it doesn't snow in Yunguo, let alone such a scene.
The two shuttled through the crowd, and Lu Mu said that Xiao Yuchen felt that he was hallucinating when he went to participate in guessing lantern riddles.
This looks like a competition, and only the winner in the end will get the lamp.
It's not very good-looking in conscience, Xiao Yuchen persuaded Lu Mu again, "You should not like too much trouble."
"It's okay." Lu Mu took a look at the person and went to fill in his name to participate in the competition.
Seeing more and more people gathered around to participate in the competition, Xiao Yuchen wondered, what about a lamp?
Lu Mu attracted attention from the moment he appeared on the stage, and he was the loudest when it was his turn to answer the questions.
Xiao Yuchen stood in the crowd, and occasionally Lu Mu would look over, and at that time he had an unspeakable feeling.
The number of people who could participate in answering the questions gradually decreased, and there were only about eight people left who had gone through several rounds.
Another person was eliminated, and everyone sighed.
Um?Seeing the eliminated person rubbing his stomach in annoyance, Xiao Yuchen rolled his eyes.
A fourth was very annoyed, he had already made complete preparations, but he didn't expect that there would be so many strong opponents this year!
The discouraged one was grabbed by the back of the neck as soon as he returned to the crowd.
"I," A Si turned back furiously, just uttered a word and changed his words tremblingly: "Boss?"
Xiao Yuchen took him out of the circle, "What are you doing here?"
A Si hadn't recovered yet, he looked back and forth, "The one with the fox mask is..."
The remaining A[-] didn't say anything, he didn't know how to address Lu Mu anymore, sister-in-law was too inappropriate.
"Yeah." Xiao Yuchen nodded, frowning slightly, "Where's A-[-]?"
"If I had known it was for you, boss, I wouldn't have participated."
A fourth is excited and embarrassed, it's really impressive for a person to 'love' his boss so much...
"For me?" Xiao Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "What for me?"
A Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Boss, don't you know?"
He turned half sideways and pointed at the top lamp.
"Here, the white head lamp, once a year, for the one you love."
"There is also the lamp language - I am willing to give my heart and body to you."
