Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

Soon it will be New Year's Eve, and it is rare for Li Qishan to be at home on this day, cooking New Year's Eve dinner for his two children.

It was the first time that there were more than two people in the family's New Year's Eve dinner, so Li Qishan was more attentive than before, starting preparations at four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yan was his helper, picking and washing vegetables.

Li Shi'an went to City C today to deliver New Year's goods to his grandparents. Although Li Qishan agreed, he always felt that something was missing, and he began to talk endlessly to Shen Yan about Li Shi'an's childhood.

"Once I went to meet a difficult client," Li Qishan said when he and Li Shi'an went to meet the client together, "we talked all afternoon, and the order was messed up in the end. I walked straight with my head down, and walked a long way, when I suddenly heard someone behind me say 'ouch', I turned my head and looked, oh, why is this kid dressed exactly like Shi'an, and he's about the same size, and then he raised his head, and I just Didn’t you find out that this is my son? Then I remembered that I brought Shi’an with me when I saw the client that day.”

Shen Yan handed the washed celery to Li Qishan, Li Qishan took it, and continued proudly: "This child doesn't cry when he falls, but he comforts me, and he also said that he will take care of the factory in the future and won't let me I'm sorry."

Shen Yan listened carefully, he was very interested in everything about Li Shi'an's childhood, and didn't mind Li Qishan's nagging.

Speaking of excitement, Li Qishan said again: "Hey, have you met 'Xiao Xie' from Shi'an Yang?"

Not only seen, but also threatened.

Seeing Shen Yan nodding his head, Li Qishan steamed a few crabs into the pot, and continued: "That boy, when I was negotiating business with the client, he secretly ran to the beach by himself, picked up that thing and came back, and told me he found it." Crabs and sea snails are 'alien species'. I wondered what kind of stuff they picked up? After looking at it, it was actually a hermit crab. I told him about it, and he asked a bunch of questions. Why did the crab take it? The shell of the conch makes a house', what 'is the conch dead or alive when the hermit crab looks for the conch shell', it stopped me."

Shen Yan laughed when he heard this, it was so cute, he hated that Li Shi'an was not by his side, otherwise he really wanted to rub his dog's head.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the living room opened suddenly, and the person who was still thinking about it just now came back.The first thing Li Shi'an did when he came back was to rush into the kitchen. Before Li Qishan could ask him a few words, he had already grabbed Shen Yan's clothes and pushed him out of the kitchen. , let me show you something."

When he came to the living room, Li Shi'an took out something like a ticket from his pocket, and Shen Yan took a closer look, it was a ticket for a ballet theater.

Li Shi'an just came back now, and before he could take off his scarf and gloves, he said excitedly: "When I was in the car, I met two little sisters who were in the third grade of junior high school. They both studied ballet. There is a foreign ballet troupe performing, which is quite famous, and they took a bus to buy tickets today, so I followed suit and bought one."

Just now helping in the kitchen, Shen Yan's hands were wet with moisture, he wiped his hands on his trousers, and took the ticket.

The troupe printed on the ticket was indeed very famous, and the prima ballerina in it was also his favorite.

"Thank you." Shen Yan said.

"Thank you," Li Shi'an said, "I will make up your birthday present."

"Didn't you give the gift?" Shen Yan thought he was going back.

"That painting was painted by you, and it was originally yours." Li Shi'an said.

These two sentences moved Shen Yan more than the ballet tickets he gave him. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he instinctively grabbed Li Shi'an's hand.

Feeling the moisture from Shen Yan's hands, Li Shi'an frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold?" After speaking, he took off his gloves and grabbed Shen Yan's hands, trying to warm him up.

Li Qishan suddenly came out of the kitchen and said: "Shi'an, I'm idle anyway, Dad boiled the paste, you and Shen Yan go to the door to paste the couplets."

Hearing this voice, Li Shi'an was so frightened that he quickly dropped Shen Yan's hand, but was pulled back by Shen Yan. Shen Yan's straight shoulders had just blocked Li Qishan's line of sight, and he was not afraid at all at the moment.

Ever since he pressed him on the sofa that night, he has been wanting to ask a question, what is it for them to live under the same roof?He wanted to ask Li Shi'an what was on his mind.

But the time was wrong at this moment, Li Qishan was at home, so he held back many words, finally let go of Li Shian, and ran to the kitchen to get the paste.

Li Shi'an still had lingering fears about the situation just now, he didn't expect Shen Yan to be so bold, a little angry, and a little unspeakable joy.He tore off the old couplets. Where the old couplets had been pasted, a short horizontal line was exposed, and 173 was written next to it.

"What is this?" Shen Yan asked.

Li Shi'an stood upright, leaned back and said, "Take the handle of the spoon and scratch it for me."

Shen Yan suddenly understood, and scratched the handle of the spoon in the paste bowl on the wall, Li Shi'an turned around and saw that there was about five centimeters above 173, he showed a smug smile, and called out to Li Qishan in the kitchen : "Lao Li, I've grown taller! It's more than three centimeters!"

The mark of 173 was made by Li Qishan and him last year. When the father and son posted the Spring Festival couplets, Li Qishan joked that Li Shi'an was 16 and only had the size of his 14-year-old back then. How tall can grow.

Over there, Li Qishan was busy in the kitchen. He didn't hear the call, but there was a slight "click" sound from the door next door. The door opened a crack, and someone looked at the two teenagers through the gap. Seeing the light reflected by a pair of glasses, the other party's devious behavior made him "thump" in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Shen Yan, Shen Yan saw that Fu Youcheng's eyes were on fire. Li Shi'an was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he pressed his hand and shook his head. The eyes of the two met for a moment, and there was another "click" sound , the door next door was closed.

Ever since meeting Fu Youcheng, Shen Yan has been in a bad mood, he didn't even talk much during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Qu Ya sent Shen Yan a message two days ago, reminding him that it was the Chinese New Year and it was time to go back, but Shen Yan didn't reply to Qu Ya's message. He really didn't want to go back to the so-called "home" next door, but at the same time he was very worried about Qu Ya. Ya, I'm afraid that bastard will be more presumptuous to Qu Ya when he is not around.

After dinner, Li Shi'an took Xiao Xie out to take a bath, seeing that Shen Yan was still in a daze, he said, "Aren't you going to call Auntie?"

Shen Yan shook his head, Qu Ya was not the kind of person who would tell others about her grievances, and she couldn't ask anything on the phone.

Li Shi'an didn't know what Shen Yan was thinking, he wanted Shen Yan to go back and have a look, but he was afraid that Shen Yan would feel that he was driving him away, besides, Shen Yan was a person with his own ideas, so he didn't say anything else.

He took advantage of Xiao Xie's shower to clean up Xiao Xie's glass box. He didn't usually pay much attention to it, but today he discovered that the sign that said "Xiao Xie's Nest" was missing.

Li Shi'an was surprised and dug under the sand, but there was still nothing.

"Strange." Li Shi'an said to himself.

"Huh?" Shen Yan looked at him.

"Xiao Xie's sign is missing." Li Shi'an rummaged through the sand, and then took out the coral.

Shen Yan was guilty. No one else had been to Li Shi'an's house except him. To cover up his guilt, he said, "Well, I went upstairs to read a book, and I haven't finished the book I borrowed."

Here, Li Shi'an wished he could bury his head in the glass box, but he still found nothing. It's strange, could it be that he escaped from the ground?

In the end, he gave up. After Li Qishan cleaned up the kitchen, he accompanied his old father to watch the gala and watch the new year.

Li Qishan doesn't have much time for entertainment on weekdays, and he enjoys watching a gala on New Year's Eve, while Li Shi'an nestles on the sofa and chats frantically in the WeChat group to grab red envelopes.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that the father and son went back to their rooms. Before Li Shi'an went upstairs, Li Qishan stopped him, handed him two red envelopes, asked him to give one to Shen Yan, and sent a sentence: "Happy birthday, happy new year."

The first day of the Lunar New Year is Li Shi'an's birthday, but it has always been the same day as the Spring Festival. Li Shi'an has always felt that the New Year is more lively than his birthday, so he didn't feel anything special. After saying thank you, he went upstairs.

He opened Shen Yan's room lightly, and the self-disciplined top student had already fallen asleep, so Li Shi'an gently closed the door and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he returned to the room, he was already so sleepy, he got under the quilt without turning on the light, and almost cried out in fright when he felt the existence of another person under the quilt, but fortunately, Shen Yan quickly covered him with his eyes. Q.

"Just went to your room to see, aren't you asleep?" Li Shi'an was speechless.

Shen Yan whispered: "I haven't told you Happy New Year yet, I'll go to sleep after I finish."

His seriousness was quite useful to Li Shi'an, Li Shi'an's heart was softened into a ball, Shen Yan's heart seemed to be touched, and the hand under the quilt boldly reached under Li Shi'an's pajamas.

Li Shi'an's waist is very thin, with no muscles, but no fat, and it feels soft to the touch.Although Shen Yan made her a little fatter, she was still thin overall.

Seeing that he didn't resist, Shen Yan became more courageous and started to move downstream.

Li Shi'an didn't know what Shen Yan was going to do, so he was so frightened that he pressed Shen Yan's restless hand with one hand. In terms of strength, he might not be able to compare with Shen Yan who does exercises every day, but fortunately, Shen Yan stopped in good time.

Shen Yan didn't want to make it look like coercion, and Li Shi'an didn't want to, so he withdrew his hand, but suddenly the man and woman he saw in the library that day appeared in his mind, breathing heavily, he thought, a kiss is always okay right?Just touch that lightly.

It was dark outside the window in winter, and Li Shi'an's lips could not be seen clearly in the faint light. Shen Yan groped for Li Shi'an's soft face with one hand, and his thumb explored his lips, and gently moved them closer.

It is cold and flat to the touch.

flat?Shen Yan pushed Li Shi'an away a little bit, and in the next second something was stuffed into Shen Yan's hand, and he heard Li Shi'an say, "Happy New Year."

The thing in his hand was square and square, Shen Yan suddenly understood what he had just kissed, his first kiss was just like this dedicated to a red envelope.

After Li Shi'an stuffed the red envelope to Shen Yan, he carried it on his back and went to sleep. Regardless of whether he was really sleeping or not, he wanted to avoid Shen Yan.But Shen Yan couldn't fall asleep, the restless behavior just now made him a little excited, and the excitement lasted for an hour.

The red envelope in his hand was a bit thick, so it wasn't difficult to guess that the red envelope was given by Li Qishan. Shen Yan pondered and touched under Li Shian's pillow, and sure enough, he found another red envelope. He took out all the money in his red envelope and stuffed it into it. Put it into Li Shi'an's red envelope, and put it back under the pillow.

Li Shijian pretended to be really asleep, but Shen Yan flipped the pillow and hummed dissatisfied in his sleep. Shen Yan looked at his vague outline in the dark, pressed close to his ear, and said softly: "Happy New Year, ten install."
