Compared to other people’s noisy and boisterous New Year’s Eve, Su Baicheng and Jiang Shaojing’s New Year’s Eve was exceptionally harmonious and warm.
“Xiao Jing, I’ve bought all the ingredients.” Su Baicheng had returned from the supermarket. In each of his hands were large bags of products. Jiang Shaojing quickly put down the broom in his hand and went over to help him with holding everything.
However, Su Baicheng would not let him pick anything up as he explained, “They’re too heavy, you won’t be able to move them.”
Jiang Shaojing was slightly exasperated as he rebutted, “I am a man too you know, how could I not be able to move them…” Even though Jiang Shaojing brought this up, Su Baicheng still did not let him pick anything up.
“Oh, that’s right, Baicheng…” Jiang Shaojing watched as Su Baicheng carefully laid out all the fresh ingredients onto the kitchen table. He hesitated before continuing, “Are Uncle and Aunt really coming over?” Even though the two of them had already come out, it was only a while after that Su Baicheng’s parents began to somewhat accept this. However, Jiang Shaojing was still quite fearful, he was worried that he would not be able to win them over.
Su Baicheng put down what he had been holding and gently caressed Jiang Shaojing’s head. He soothed him, “Don’t worry.” He knew just how worried Jiang Shaojing was about this, but he also knew what his parents were like.
Though simple and few, these words were enough to put Jiang Shaojing at ease.
At the dinner table during dinner.
“Baicheng.” Initially, it was rather quiet at the dinner table, everyone had been eating without speaking when Mr. Su suddenly said, “Shaojing made all of these right?”
Su Baicheng murmured a reply and Mr. Su put down his chopsticks. Stunned, Jiang Shaojing could not hold in his internal fear, he knew this would happen…could it be…
Mrs. Su calmly continued eating, mmm, my son-in-law’s cooking is not too bad.
Su Baicheng was also unruffled by this interruption.
“Since you swore that you wanted to be together with Shaojing, then you should be taking good care of Shaojing! Those tiring chores like cooking should be your responsibility.” Mr. Su scolded with a hard glare.
This turn of conversation shocked Jiang Shaojing.
“Shaojing, just eat, don’t bother about them.” Mrs. Su gently nudged Jiang Shaojing.
“Dad, it’s not like you know whether or not I can cook.” Su Baicheng calmly replied.
“If you don’t then just go and learn!” Mr Su bursted out in anger.
“Oh.” Su Baicheng remained indifferent as ever.
Jiang Shaojing let out a tender smile as he tried to diffuse the situation, “Uncle, it’s no matter. Our original deal was for me to be in charge of meals.”
“Just call me Dad!” Having been angered by Su Baicheng, Mr. Su’s tone was still hard as he ordered Jiang Shaojing, he did not manage to change it in time. Thus, his own wife reprimanded him saying, “Why are you babbling so much nonsense during mealtimes?!”
Silence fell over everyone.
Mr. Su was still more afraid of his madam so he quietly continued to eat his dinner. Completely destroying his strong image in the eyes of his son and ‘son-in-law’.
Jiang Shaojing could not help but let out a sigh, Aunt really is invincible.
Su Baicheng had to vocalize that Xiao Jing’s smile had been way too pretty for him…

“Xiao Jiu! Those pork ribs must be braised okay~” Chrysanthemum Tea loudly reminded.
“Waow, you dare to order Mrs. Great God around, just wait till Great God comes, he’ll annihilate you!”
“Great God isn’t even here now~”
Listening to the discussion outside, Xia Zifan could only express his exasperation inside the kitchen. Luckily Zhuo Yi had gone out to help get some things.
Today was the gathering between their gamer friends, they had not wanted to have it anywhere other than their house.
“Great God is back!”
“Mmm.” Zhuo Yi placed a large bag of snacks on the table as he replied, “Everyone please feel free to eat whatever you like, I’m going to the kitchen to look.” After this, he cooly turned around.
“F*ck! Great God is a Wife Pleaser!”
“I agree…”
“Fanfan.” Zhuo Yi hugged Xia Zifan from behind as he followed the hug with a kiss to the side of Xia Zifan’s face.
Xia Zifan’s face reddened slightly as he said with a lowered voice, “They are all still outside, if they catch sight of us, they’ll start reacting dramatically again.”
Zhuo Yi could care less as he replied, “Don’t worry, let’s just ignore them.”
Zhuo Yi could not help but think, ever since that group of people had entered their home at 9 am, until noon, he had yet to kiss Xia Zifan. Now the kitchen only had the two of them in it, and the others outside would definitely not barge in unannounced.
Glancing at Xia Zifan’s expression of concentration as he washed the vegetables, Zhuo Yi could not help but feel a tad stimulated.
Still, action trumped inaction and Zhuo Yi turned Xia Zifan’s face to him as he leaned his head in for a kiss. Embracing Xia Zifan’s waist, Zhuo Yi’s slightly cold tongue slipped into the other’s mouth. Greedily he sucked the breath of his Fanfan, as he forcefully explored every corner of Xia Zifan’s mouth.
The two began to kiss with more fervor when suddenly something happened. Nan Zhi and Su Su had entered the kitchen to ask for more fruit juice from Xia Zifan, but instead, they caught sight of this hot and heavy scene. Su Su was about to say something when she was immediately stopped by Nan Zhi who covered her mouth.
Xia Zifan seemed to have noticed someone else was present and tried to escape. Zhuo Yi increased the pressure around Xia Zifan’s waist and this left Xia Zifan with no choice.
And then, something happened as a result of this.
It was a hard time for Xia Zifan during lunch, his entire face was red and ready to explode. Luckily one of the dishes was a Mala dish, if not he would not have been able to explain the redness. The entire gang had locked their nosy gaze onto Xia Zifan and Zhuo Yi, causing the good-tempered Xia Zifan to be filled with a desire to kick Zhuo Yi.
Zhuo Yi, however, had nothing to say, What’s wrong with me kissing my wife?
