Drunk in exchange for sleep under the moon

After the reunion dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Xie Yan stood in front of a pile of festively colored moon cake gift boxes, ordering and ordering, not knowing which box to favor first.

There are some teachers in the family, and the moon cakes at the school are never absent every Mid-Autumn Festival.

The lover is a doctor, and a box of moon cakes is indispensable in the hospital.

Boxes of mooncakes were neatly laid out on the tea table, Xie Tang called "Second Uncle" in the yard, Xie Yan stopped being entangled, took a box of mooncakes and went into the yard.

Osmanthus fragrans are in full bloom at this time of year, and when the night wind blows, the yard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus fragrans.

The fifteenth full moon is like a chubby snowball embedded in the night sky. The moonlight is still deserted, but when it falls on people, it looks gentle again.

The four generations of Xie's family lived under the same roof, and they got together during the festivals, and the lively chatter and laughter filled the entire yard.

The whole family sat in the yard, laughing and chatting. Mr. Xie played chess with Xie Congyu. Just as the winner was decided, when he saw Xie Yan coming out, Mr. Xie held the general in his hand and knocked on the stone table: "Four treasures, come here!" Come with me, your father, your level is not good."

Xie Congyu took a sip of the tea in his hand, feeling a little ashamed on his face when he was still disgusted by the old man in front of a group of juniors.

Hearing this, Xie Tang shook Xie Mo's arm coquettishly: "Dad, go play chess with Grandpa, Second Uncle wants to play games with me."

The time for Xie Yan to take the mooncakes was clearly arranged.

His eyes fell on Zhao Wumian who was sitting in the corner, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Zhao Wumian was introverted and seldom talked. It was the first time he spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xie's family, and he seemed a little reserved and unaccustomed. He sat and listened to Xie Mo and the others chatting, occasionally answering a sentence or two, as if he was talking to someone in the yard. The excitement is divided...

Xie Yan sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to play chess with Mr. Xie, nor did he want to play games with Xie Tang.

Dr. Zhao who just wanted to be with him.

"Xiaotang, come here." Xie Xu followed Xie Yan's line of sight, turned his head to look at Zhao Wumian, and called Xie Tang over with a smile, "Auntie will play games with you."

Xie Yan nodded to Xie Xu, thanking her for her timely rescue.

Xie Mo accompanied Mr. Xie to rearrange the chessboard, Xie Yan felt relaxed, put the mooncake box on the table and opened it, then took two mooncakes, went to sit down beside Zhao Wumian.

Spreading both hands, she quickly shook them in front of Zhao Wumian's eyes, then held them again, covering most of the mooncake packaging: "Which one do you want?"

"This." Zhao Wumian held his right hand.

Xie Yan spread out his hands—it smelled like lotus seed paste and egg yolk.

Zhao Wumian took the mooncakes and unhurriedly unpacked them.

"Actually, you don't need to take care of me." He could tell that Xie Yan didn't play chess with Mr. Xie, nor did he play games with Xie Tang because he was there.

After being alone for a long time, he is indeed not used to the excitement of Xie's family, but he likes this kind of excitement very much, but he doesn't know how to integrate into such a lively atmosphere...

"I didn't take care of you on purpose." Xie Yan leaned over and took a bite of the mooncake with his hand. The delicate lotus paste filling tasted sweet and soft, and the salty taste of egg yolk made him bend his lips in a good mood.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm going to eat mooncakes—"

Xie Yan tilted his head to look at him, his eyes were bright and he smiled, "Appreciate the moon."
