"Xiao Lie, I haven't seen you for several months. You haven't seen Xuanxuan since she was full moon." Zhou Zhizhi complained unabashedly.

"It's really been too busy recently, it's my mistake, Cheng Chong and I will come and see you this weekend, okay?"

"Okay, see you that weekend."

On Saturday morning, Jiao Zilie and Cheng Chong came to Zhou Zhizhi's house with bags of baby clothes and toys.

"Come on, why are you being so polite! Come in and sit down."

Jiaozilie and Cheng Chong followed Zhou Zhizhi into the living room, and saw Xuanxuan practicing turning over on the ground. The little meatball wanted to reach the toy in front of her, but unfortunately she couldn't crawl yet.

Jiao Zilie walked over and picked Xuanxuan up, "Good baby, uncle brought you a lot of new toys, do you want to play with them?" After finishing speaking, she replaced Xuanxuan with a milky voice and said "yes", which provoked Zhou Zhizhi on the side laughed wildly.

"Don't scare my daughter!"

"I'm so handsome, it's too late for her to like it, how can I be scared."

The little baby is also very face-saving, and makes the godson tease him without crying or making a fuss.

"Xuanxuan is too obedient, I love her to death."

"Of course, I don't even look at who her mother is." Zhou Zhizhi said triumphantly.

"I think it should be inherited from her father?"

"Cut." Zhou Zhizhi rolled her eyes.

The three of them played around the little baby for two hours, until the little baby was so sleepy and crying, that God Zilie reluctantly returned her to Zhou Zhizhi.The latter took the baby to nurse and was going to put her to sleep.

After Zhou Zhizhi left, Cheng Chong said to his godfather, "I can't tell you like children so much."

"Don't you think they're cute?"

"Cute, but children are troublesome, I only like mine."

"You are too heartless!" Godfather couldn't help but despise Cheng Chong.

Cheng Chong hugged his godson Lie, "Then you give birth, I will definitely like it."

"Oh, I'm going to have a needle eye." Zhou Zhizhi returned after handing the child over to the nanny.

Jiao Zilie pushed Cheng Chong away shyly, "Is Xuanxuan asleep?"

"Auntie was still feeding her, and fell asleep after a while. What were you two doing just now? Don't you control yourself at someone else's house?" Zhou Zhizhi teased.

"We are discussing to let Xiao Liesheng have a baby too."

"Don't pay attention to him, run the train with your mouth full all day long."

"You two want kids?"

"No." "Yes." The two said in unison, and Jiao Zilie gave Cheng Chong a look.

"If you really want children, you can find a surrogate. I have a friend who immigrated to the United States a few years ago. The couple couldn't have children for many years, and then they found a surrogate. It's funny to say, this surrogate It's a white man, and the two of them are worried about what to do if they are born a white man, hahaha."

"And then?" Godfather asked curiously.

Cheng Chong looked at him thoughtfully after hearing his question.

"Then the child was born. It is of authentic Chinese descent. The two of them were still worried, so they ran for a DNA test to confirm that the child was theirs. Now the child is more than one year old."

"It's really doable."

"Of course, if you have ideas, I can contact my friends, and you can learn from them."

"No, I'm just asking casually."

"It's up to you. If you want it in the future, I will help you get in touch again."

Jiao Zilie and Cheng Chong didn't leave until after lunch. On the way, Cheng Chong drove so intently that he was too embarrassed to chat with him.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Chong said, "Xiao Lie, I think we can have two children."

"I think you have a fever, you can't play any of them, so give me two!"

"I'm serious. Anyway, the two of us won't be able to have children. Why don't we find a surrogate together and raise our two children together."

"This... Let's talk about it later... I can finally support myself now, and I'm afraid I will have to go to the street to beg for two more."

"Your husband, I'm rich! I can support ten, let alone two."

"Raising children is not buying clothes. This issue should be decided after careful consideration. My focus is on my career now, and I am not ready to have children. Let's think about it in a few years, okay?"

"Okay." Cheng Chong put on an aggrieved face.

God Zilie hugged him, "Then how about I raise you as my son?"

"Don't you fucking take advantage of me, and still want to be my father?" After speaking, he began to act dishonestly.

"In broad daylight, who is taking advantage of whom!"

"You took advantage of me verbally, and I will make you return physically!"

"Hahaha, itchy, don't make a fuss." The two of them rolled the sheets noisyly.

……

"Xiao Lie, do you have any plans for Christmas?"

"No, we're not in a western country, and we don't believe in Jesus, so why celebrate Christmas?"

"Everyone, let's join in the fun."

"No idea, stay at home."

"After I'm with you, I'm about to become an otaku!"

"What's wrong with being an otaku?"

"It's okay, let's go skiing in Coronado, shall we?"

"But there's no holiday for Christmas Company."

"Did you use your annual leave for decoration?"

"I'll think it over."

"Don't think about it! You still need to apply for a visa!"

"Let's do it first, let's talk about whether to go or not."

On the second day, Cheng Chong forced Jiao Zilie to submit the visa application materials. A few days later, he went to the embassy for an interview. The two were in good financial condition and the visa was successfully obtained.Cheng Chong couldn't wait to buy the ticket, but there was no confirmation from God Zilie.

"Why on earth didn't you answer me?"

"I can't ski..."

"It's a big deal, if you don't know it, you can learn it. If you can't learn it, let's make a snowman."

"I don't want to spoil your fun."

"I'm with you, and it's a vacation, how can I spoil the fun!"

"Then how long do you want to go?"

"Go for ten days. Together with New Year's Day, you can save a few days off."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Shao Chen tomorrow."

Cheng Chong kissed him on the cheek with satisfaction, "This is a good baby."

The two set off on Christmas Eve, and due to the time difference, the two of them could catch up to have a Christmas Eve dinner after landing.But as far as the eye can see, there are not many restaurants open, and most of them have gone home for reunion. Only Chinese restaurants are still working hard.

The two rented a car from the airport, found Chinese food and had a casual dinner. The unauthentic Chinese food was hard to swallow.

"I'm back to eat this unauthentic Chinese food again." Jiao Zilie couldn't help complaining.

"Let's make a meal first. I have asked a Chinese aunt to help us cook for the past few days. Because I am not sure what time we will arrive, so I let her go tomorrow."

"We don't live in a hotel?"

"What's so good about staying in a hotel, I rented a vacation home."

"Is it that kind of cabin?"

"Yes, do you like it?"

The godson smiled happily: "I like it, I never lived in the United States before."

"Just like it. Are you full? Let's go when we're full."

"I can't eat anymore if I'm full," Jiao Zilie said with a wry smile, "Let's go."

It was already late when they arrived at the holiday home, and the two simply packed up and went to bed.

The next day, Jiao Zilie was very excited after waking up from sleep. He was too tired last night, so he didn't look at the house and the scenery outside at all.

He glanced at Cheng Chong, who was still sleeping, and gently got out of bed and walked to the double doors of the bedroom and the balcony outside.There is a vast expanse of whiteness, and I really want people to rush out and roll on it.God Zilie was amused by his naive thoughts.

"What are you giggling about there so early in the morning?"

God Zilie turned around, "Are you awake?"

Cheng Chong propped up his body sleepily, "Did you sleep well?"

"It's good. When I think about being in such a beautiful place, I'm so excited that I can't sleep in."

Cheng Chong looked at the time, "That aunt should be here in a while, and she probably has nothing to eat now, do you want to go for a walk?"

"Okay."

The two walked hand in hand on the white snow. This was the first time they held hands outdoors. After all, there are not many places where they can hold hands in China, so they both cherish the sweetness of this moment.

Cheng Chong looked at the string of footprints behind him and said with emotion: "I really want to keep walking with you like this."

The godson didn't laugh at Cheng Chong's stereotyped lines, but just held his hand tightly and smiled at him.

Unknowingly, the two walked a long way. The hungry two felt that they would starve to death on the side of the road if they walked any further, so they returned the same way.When I arrived at the cabin, my aunt had already arrived, and I could smell the aroma of rice as soon as I entered the door.

"Aunt Zhang, you are here."

"Hello, gentlemen."

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Cheng Chong, this is God Zilie."

Aunt Zhang watched the intimate behavior of the two, and already knew a thing or two about their relationship in her heart.Having lived in the United States for 25 years, my mind is relatively open.

"You are starving, I'm afraid you are in a hurry to eat, so I just made some simple pancakes and porridge."

"It's pretty good, as long as it's not the terribly sweet American Chinese food, everything is delicious." Jiao Zilie still couldn't forget yesterday's dinner.

"Have you eaten? Come and eat together." Cheng Chong didn't want Aunt Zhang to be too restrained.

Aunt Zhang was also very straightforward. After preparing the tableware and food, she sat down to eat with the two of them.

"Have you ever been to America before?"

"We both went to school in America before."

"Then you met in America?"

"No, at that time one of us was on the east bank and the other was on the west bank. We got to know each other because of work contacts after returning to China."

"Oh, hehe, it's all fate."

Cheng Chong smiled, "It's fate to know you."

"Are you a couple?" Aunt Zhang asked generously.

The godson was a little uncomfortable, after all, Aunt Zhang was an outsider who had just met, and she was about the same age as her parents.

Cheng Chong said calmly: "Yes, do you think we are compatible?"

"Yes, hehe, you two young men are very handsome."

"Thank you." Jiao Zilie said shyly, she didn't expect this aunt to be so avant-garde.

"The United States has become more and more tolerant of homosexuals in recent years. I'm afraid it's not the same in China?"

The faces of both of them were a little ugly. Aunt Zhang realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "You two can also consider immigrating to the United States, and you can get married legally."

Cheng Chong said slowly: "I have considered this issue, but it is not realistic for the time being. After all, our family and career are still in China."

The godson glanced at Cheng Chong, but he didn't expect him to think about getting married.

"Anyway, you are still young, and the days to come will be long."

"Well, that's what you said."

After the three had eaten, Aunt Zhang stayed to prepare dinner, and Cheng Chong and Jiao Zilie set off to the ski resort.

There are more people in the ski resort than Cheng Chong imagined, and he thought that all those people would go home for the holidays.The two rented equipment and went out after dressing.

"Let's take a picture first."

Jiao Zilie laughed and said, "Are you a selfie maniac?"

"The first time the two of us went on vacation, it was Christmas, so of course we want to commemorate it."

"We are fully armed like this, who can tell who is in the photo?"

"Then you take off the protective goggles first, and we will set off after taking the photo."

The godson couldn't hold back him, so he had to follow suit.After taking the photos, Cheng Chong put away his mobile phone contentedly, and began to teach Zi Lie to ski hand in hand.Under the encouragement of Nate, Jiao Zilie's motor nerves are still well developed. Although he can't say that he skates very well, he can still go on the road.

The two didn't stay for a long time. One was too cold, and the other was too hungry. There were still a few days to come and play, and they were not in a hurry to skate enough in one afternoon.

When I got home, Aunt Zhang had already returned home. The table was full of delicacies from her hometown, and she carefully lit two candles to create an atmosphere.

The two of them didn't eat much in a day, and they had been exercising all afternoon. At this time, they could no longer care about romance, so they started gobbling after sitting down.

After the meal, Cheng Chong leaned on the back of the chair, touched his stomach and said contentedly, "Auntie Zhang is really good at crafting. I only discovered her after browsing many posts."

"Thank you, Cheng Chong."

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for everything you prepared."

Cheng Chong walked up to God Zilie and hugged him, "For you, everything should be done, don't thank me, see you."

The godson turned around and kissed him, "I'm polite."

"Come and help me light the fire, will you?"

"I'm an expert at making fire."

"Then you come, I'll watch."

"You want to be lazy!"

It didn't take long for the two of them to light the fire, hugging each other and sitting in front of the fireplace, watching the Christmas series of movies on TV.

Jiao Zilie couldn't help but think, maybe it would be good to immigrate to the United States with Cheng Chong.

In the next few days, in addition to skiing, the two also visited the nearby towns.After the festival, restaurants resumed business one after another, and they also ate some western food and snacks that they missed.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Cheng Chong insisted on going to a bar for the New Year's Eve, so the two braved the severe cold and found a bustling bar in the town.

Cheng Chong looked at Jiaozilie holding a big hamburger until his face was full of greasy food, and couldn't help laughing, "You must be too poor at eating."

"As a grown man, do I need to pay attention to my appearance? Besides, no one knows me."

"You are embarrassing the people of the country!"

"Then let me say that I am Korean."

"Hahaha, I'll listen to you say a few words in Korean."

"Eat yours, don't talk so much nonsense!"

The TV in the bar has been broadcasting the New Year's Eve show in New York's Times Square. The two are drinking, watching TV, and preparing to count down the New Year's Eve with the people in the bar and on the TV.

"Do you think those people standing there all night won't be in a hurry to urinate? I want to go to the toilet when I'm cold!" Jiao Zilie looked at the TV and said with emotion.

"Maybe he's wearing adult diapers! Why are you worrying so much!"

"I'm just making a generalization."

The two commented on the stars on TV, and they didn't have to worry about being heard by their fans. Anyway, others couldn't understand what they were talking about.Seeing that there were still 10 minutes until twelve o'clock, Cheng Chong changed from the opposite side to sit next to God Zilie.

"Why are you so close to me?"

"I love you."

"I despise you."

"But I don't despise you." After speaking, he put his arms around Godzi Lie.

The host on TV was ready to lead the audience to start counting down, and the people in the bar were also boiling, and the two couldn't help counting down.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! Happy New Year!"

Cheng Chong put his arms around his godson and kissed him on the lips. Godson was not mentally prepared and was taken aback.But from the corner of the eye, I saw all the couples in the bar kissing, some were gentle kisses, some were passionate tongue kisses.

After Cheng Chong let go of his godson, he saw his puzzled face, "You've been in the United States for two years, don't you know about New Year's Kiss?"

"do not know."

"...Then what are you doing during New Year's Eve?"

"Either read a book or sleep."

"Well... Americans will kiss their significant other at twelve o'clock on the new year, and some singles will also take the opportunity to grab their crush and kiss one. This is a New Year's tradition, and you will be in my country for the next year In my hand, I can’t run away.”

"It's only one year, can't I run away after one year?"

"You have a good idea! I kiss you every year, so you can never run away!"

Jiao Zilie smiled and pulled Cheng Chong up, "Let's watch the fireworks."

Some businesses and some residents were setting off fireworks, and the two stood hand in hand in the cold wind, feeling unparalleled warmth.
