Chapter 377: Paying Respects to the Ancestors
The next morning, Yun Xi sobered up and her stomach did not hurt as much anymore.
Due to the biological clock that Zhou Lin had been following since he joined the army, he had gotten up early and was now sitting on the sofa in the hotel, reading the newspaper.
Although Yun Xi had woken up, her mind kept thinking about what had happened last night. She had lost so much face that she could not wait to find a hole to hide in and not come out to face everyone here.
The mission by the space was also not completed. Now that her period was here, she could only wait for her period to end before continuing to complete the mission.
Yun Xi stole a glance at Zhou Lin. Seeing that he was reading the newspaper seriously, she quietly got up and sneaked into the bathroom.
The bathroom in this suite was relatively large. She did not know if it was Zhou Lin or the staff of this hotel, but they carefully prepared a change of underwear and clothes in the bathroom.
After Yun Xi finished washing up, she changed her clothes and walked to the bedroom.
Zhou Lin raised his head when he heard footsteps. His eyes lit up when he saw Yun Xi. This girl was indeed beautiful.
Zhou Lin stood up and walked to Yun Xi’s side. He held her little hand and walked towards the dining room.
It was as if nothing had happened yesterday. He did not take the initiative to mention these things and tease her.
He could already feel the little girl’s bashful expression. Since they were outside now, he would not tease her for now.
Yun Xi felt displeased when she saw Zhou Lin’s expression.
Although Yun Xi’s heart also intended for this man to pretend that nothing had happened, how could this fellow really pretend that nothing had happened? Last night, she had even thrown away her pride, yet this man actually did not show any reaction at all!
......
Was this really good?!
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Hurry up and eat. Tonight, I will bring you to pay respects to the Zhou family’s ancestors. After that, I will go with grandfather to buy ingredients for tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve gathering.”
Although Zhou Lin had not entered Yun Xi’s mind, he could roughly guess what this little girl was thinking right now.
Therefore, he quickly explained to prevent this little girl from letting her imagination run wild again.
“New Year’s Eve?!”
When Yun Xi heard this, she immediately perked up. She loved shopping the most. When winter came, although the streets were cold, it was usually warm when the crowds gathered together.
Holding the sugar-coated fruits and sugar-fried chestnuts in her hands, there was a different kind of warmth.
“That’s right. It’s the Zhou family’s annual tradition. The Old Master values unity the most, so he organizes his family to spend these holidays together every year. When the time comes, my big brother and his family will also be there. If there are some children in the army who can’t go home, my father will also choose to bring them to my family to celebrate the New Year together.”
Zhou Lin smiled and scratched Yun Xi’s nose as he explained to her about celebrating the new year.
“Does that mean that when I marry you in the future, we can celebrate the New Year together?! When Yun Xi heard the words ‘New Year’, her eyes immediately lit up.
“Silly girl, you are celebrating the new year with us right now!” Zhou Lin stretched out his hand and gently tapped Yun Xi’s forehead as he said dotingly.
Yun Xi rubbed her head. Her heart was filled with sweetness, and her face was brimming with a blissful smile.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin could not help but curl the corners of his lips.
“Alright, hurry up and eat. After eating, I’ll bring you back to the old residence to look for the Old Master.”
Zhou Lin said.
After a simple meal in the hotel, Yun Xi sat in Zhou Lin’s co-driver’s seat and returned to the old residence. After picking up the Old Master, they walked toward a cemetery behind the military compound.
Along the way, the Old Master kept an eye on the two young ones. He tried to find out if something had happened between the two young ones and find out some clues.
It was a pity that Zhou Lin did everything flawlessly. There was simply no chance for him to take advantage of the situation. The Old Master’s scheme did not succeed at all.
Yun Xi also sat very quietly in the carriage along the way. She stared out the window without saying a word. No matter what method the Old Master used to find out the answer to this question, he was defeated by Yun Xi’s silence.
