"Put me down here, Master."

"Ah? But this place is still some distance from your destination...Okay, I'll find a safe parking spot nearby now."

I originally thought that it would be a waste of money if I got off the bus before reaching my destination.

Because there is an unwritten rule for their taxi orders, that is, the remaining taxi fare will not be refunded if you get off the car midway.

However, since we can afford their company's car, we don't mind wasting some taxi fare.

Moreover, there are the most complete monitoring systems inside and outside the car, which can prove that the passengers got off the car on their own and requested to end the trip early. Once she, the driver, takes the passengers to a safe place to get off, what happens to the passengers after they get off the car is no longer her business.

Thinking of this, the driver shut his mouth, followed Xiang Huanian's instructions, turned the steering wheel, and looked for a safe parking spot nearby.

Xiang Huanian had a good experience throughout the ride and suffered from mild motion sickness. He did not refuse the driver's insistence.

It’s not far away anyway.

Xiang Huanian, feeling mentally exhausted, was also thinking of going down for a walk.

There happened to be a park and a shopping mall nearby. Xiang Huanian decided to take a walk alone, absorb the fragrance of the plants, and then go to the shopping mall to take in the popularity of such an occasion.

Parks built in cities always feel weaker in aura than those in the mountains.

Maybe it absorbs too much exhaust gas from the city, so it is always gray.

After strolling in such a park for a while, the cool breeze carrying exhaust fumes and the disgusting second-hand smoke that drifted from nowhere made Xiang Huanian's head buzz, and he felt dizzy and achy.

"Ahem, let's hurry into the mall... Come to think of it, when was the last time I went shopping?"

Ever since Xiang Huanian secluded herself at home to pursue her dreams, she hasn't gone shopping in the mall for a long time.

The flow of people in the mall is almost scarce, and some shops are even closed.

That's right. After all, it's not dinner time now and it's Chinese New Year, so it's normal that there are few people. It's just right for Xiang Huanian to go shopping.

I looked at the small commodities, guessed the prices, bought myself a cup of sweet and warm milk tea, and looked at the new clothes while walking... Oh, forget about the new clothes, the price tags are really scary.

In the bright shopping mall, with the cheerful background music playing, Xiang Huanian's somewhat gloomy mood gradually brightened up.

Her happy mood reached its peak when she walked between a place that smelled sweet and buttery and a place that smelled strong and fragrant hot pot base.

"Buy a small cake and then go eat hot pot, perfect!"

Xiang Huanian took a sip of the sweet milk tea and made a happy decision.

While Xiang Huanian was enjoying his time alone, the Lin family also entered the busy stage of preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

"How do I wash this dish... Oh, okay, I get it..."

"Where's the drain basket..."

"Please cut open this king crab..."

"..."

The Lin family's kitchen was full and occupied by three grown men.

Lin Yunchu sat on the sofa watching TV, eating the fruit that Gu Shaoyu had specially peeled for her, and occasionally enjoying some snacks. Originally, she felt a little guilty. However, when she offered to help share some of the burden, the three men, each with their own strengths, rejected her in unison...

Since that was the case, Lin Yunchu didn't force it. She felt at ease, crossed her legs, curled up on the sofa, and watched the exciting plot on TV.

It was at this time that Lin's father and mother arrived.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell of the Lin family, which had not rung for a long time, rang. At the same time, Lin Yunchu's phone also rang.

Gu Shaoyu, whose hands happened to be free, wiped his hands twice on his apron, then put on the apron and went to the door.

At the same time, Lin Yunchu's call was also answered.

"Hey, Mom, where are you guys?"

He walked quickly to the door, which had already been opened. Gu Shaoyu happened to hear the voice of his girlfriend, Lin Yunchu, from the mobile phone of a middle-aged couple at the door.

Gu Shaoyu: "..." This... is too sudden...

"…We're at your door. Someone's opened it. You don't have to come out."

Lin's mother held the phone and first replied to Lin Yunchu, then looked at Gu Shaoyu, who was wearing an apron and looked very homely, with curiosity.

Lin's father stood next to Lin's mother, looking Gu Shaoyu up and down with a slightly critical eye.

At this moment, Gu Shaoyu, who was very quick to react, stood up straight, raised a perfect and humble smile, greeted Lin's father and mother in front of him, and also gave a brief self-introduction:

"Hello, uncle and auntie. I'm Gu Shaoyu. I'm 26 years old, 1 meters tall, in good health, and have no bad habits..."

Lin's father and mother: "..." This young man... is quite energetic...

Lin Yunchu heard on the phone: "." I feel a little embarrassed. What's going on.

Because he was nervous, Gu Shaoyu's voice was a little high.

Then, Gu Lingyan and Song Renan, who were cleaning in the kitchen, along with An An and Lele, followed the sound and came out to see what was going on and to see what was going on.

When Lin Yunchu heard the double self-introduction on the phone and in real life, she wanted to shut Gu Shaoyu up before he made things complicated.

So, Lin Yunchu ran all the way to the gate in her cotton slippers, even faster than An An and Le Le, and grabbed Gu Shaoyu by the collar and pulled him to the side, pulling him out of her parents' sight. Then, she pretended nothing had happened, smiled, and greeted Lin's father and mother:

"Mom, Dad, why are you here so soon? Didn't you say you'd be here in the afternoon? Come in quickly. It's so cold outside. Shao Yu has no manners to let you stand in the cold wind like this. Come in and warm up..."

He took Lin's father and mother's arms, glared at Gu Shaoyu in a corner where they couldn't see him, and then said to him:

"Shao Yu, please help carry my parents' luggage in."

Gu Shaoyu realized belatedly that his previous actions were indeed inappropriate: "...Ah, okay!"

After a failed start, Gu Shaoyu, who wanted to perform well to make up for his image in the eyes of Lin's father and mother, walked to the door quickly, brought in two suitcases and some local specialties, and followed Lin Yunchu and the others obediently.
