Chapter 45
In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve is here.
The annual holiday starts on New Year’s Eve, but it doesn’t make much difference to Xue Yingshuang whether to have a holiday or not. He still wakes up at seven o’clock.
The training course Xing Yun signed up for him has ended. He wants to take advantage of the annual vacation to review the content of the training course and prepare for the next self-examination.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Xue Yingshuang walked out of the room and wanted to go out to get water, but Xing Yun put on a suit and walked out of the master bedroom while wearing a tie.
He subconsciously wanted to step forward to help Xing Yun tie a tie, but his fingertips only trembled slightly, and in the end he just clenched the cup and didn’t move.
“I’m going back for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” Xing Yun said, “How about you? Tonight? What’s the arrangement?”
“As usual, it’s time to eat and read.” Xue Yingshuang said.
“Oh, I…” Xing Yun hesitated before saying, “I’m leaving.”
After Xing Yun left, Xue Yingshuang went back to his room to study. When he raised his head again, it was already dark.
Xue Yingshuang got up and stretched, then picked up the phone to look at it.
There are few people in his circle of friends, but everyone’s content is full of joy.
Sliding to Bai Qianyi’s circle of friends, Bai Qianyi posted another photo of himself sitting by the window drinking coffee, looking very leisurely. Xue Yingshuang looked at it, but felt that the background was strange and familiar… Seriously? Look, isn’t this the living room outside? This photo was taken when Bai Qianyi was still here.
Xue Yingshuang sent him a message: “Happy New Year!”
Bai Qianyi didn’t reply. Also, people who are so busy that they can only recharge with previous photos will naturally not have time to reply to him.
Xue Yingshuang walked around the room, and suddenly felt that the room was strangely quiet, especially after Xing Yun left.
Xing Yun is often away from home, and Xue Yingshuang is not a person who is easy to feel lonely, so he should get used to it. However, on such a day of reunion, Xue Yingshuang’s mood inevitably fluctuated.
Xue Yingshuang was sitting in the living room, looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows, and couldn’t help thinking of the Chinese New Year when he was a child.
Usually, he doesn’t like having a bunch of gamblers at home, because in addition to gambling, they also smoke and drink.
However, on the New Year’s Day, Xue Yingshuang likes a group of people at home.
Although he didn’t know most of those people, but during the Chinese New Year, there were a lot of people at home, and both parents were there, and the noise became lively, which was really good. In particular, his parents would give him a red envelope. Even if the money was not much, he would be stolen back by the two of them if he didn’t take care of it, but he was always happy.
Only during the New Year’s Eve can he feel that his home does not seem to be much different from other people’s homes.
After dropping out of school, he spent every New Year in the factory working overtime.
During the Chinese New Year, he was paid extra for overtime work, and he was homeless, so he could just work hard to earn money to pay off his debts.
Of course, sometimes he would also imagine how he would spend his years in the parallel world.
In that world, his parents would prepare a table of dishes on New Year’s Eve. It doesn’t have to be a good dish, just a little bit different from usual, or even the same as usual, as long as the family gets together.
Then there are red envelopes, and firecrackers can be set off. It’s zero o’clock, everyone said a happy new year to each other…
Thinking of this, he thought of Xing Yun again.
Xing Yun had never mentioned his family to him, but in Xue Yingshuang’s imagination, Xing Yun should have been born in a very good family, loved by his parents, and was the most favored child in the family.
It was exactly ten o’clock in the evening.
Xue Yingshuang thought to himself, at this moment, Xing Yunying is enjoying the New Year happily surrounded by his family.
Thinking of this, Xue Yingshuang couldn’t help but get a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Xue Yingshuang heard movement from the gate.
As soon as he stood up, three seconds later, Xing Yun walked out from behind the door.
Xue Yingshuang was surprised: “Why are you back?”
Xing Yunyi’s suit was a little messy, his breath was unsteady, he was panting, and his face was blushing: “I… I still want to celebrate the New Year with you.”
Xing Yun obviously ran back all the way, Xue Yingshuang saw him like this and forgot any words of rejection for a while.
Xing Yun asked, “What did you eat for dinner?”
Xue Yingshuang replied, “I seem to have forgotten to eat.”
Xing Yun frowned: “You can even forget to eat dinner, why don’t you even forget to study?”
Since the confession, Xing Yun hasn’t spoken to him loudly for a long time, Xue Yingshuang is a little happy to hear it for some reason.
Xing Yun saw him with a silly face, ignored him, and said, “Come on, let’s have a reunion dinner.”
Xue Yingshuang: “Didn’t you eat at home?”
Xing Yun: “I only ate a little bit. There are too many people in my family and I’m bored.”
Xue Yingshuang: “If you come back like this, what will your family do?”
Xing Yun: “There is no shortage of me there.”
The two walked into the kitchen, Xue Yingshuang opened the refrigerator and asked Xing Yun, “What do you want to eat now?”
This conversation is a bit old again? Xing Yun said naturally: “I like everything you cook.”
After Xing Yun finished speaking, he suddenly paused for a while, then changed the subject and said, “By the way, I stole something from my mother and came back.”
Xue Yingshuang: “Huh?”
Xing Yun: “I wanted to bring something back to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with you, so I stole a roast chicken, but she found out and was beaten. In the end, she stole the chicken again while she wasn’t paying attention. .”
Seeing Xing Yun showing off the stolen roast chicken with his hair messed up, Xue Yingshuang couldn’t help but think of a puppy running away with a chicken in his mouth, while someone was chasing after him with a newspaper roll. The dog was spanked, and the dog was chased? Tears burst into his face, but he didn’t put down the picture of roasting chicken without saying anything.
“I want to get something else, but it’s raw. I’m afraid it will be broken on the way back.” Xing Yun was helpless, “I’ll buy lobsters tomorrow.”
“Let me see what’s left…Eat hot pot?” Xue Yingshuang said, “There’s no meat left at home, only vegetables are left. I’ll cook another meal?”
“Cook the noodles.” Xing Yun said, “I want to eat noodles.”
At ten o’clock in the evening, Xue Yingshuang and Xing Yun began to hold a New Year’s Eve dinner for the two of them.
There was not much time left, and Xing Yun also helped to wash the vegetables and serve the dishes. The two were busy for a while, and finally had a New Year’s Eve dinner in the living room.
The two people’s New Year’s Eve dinner is a pot of hot pot with more vegetables and less meat, a pot of Laoganma noodles, and a stolen roast chicken.
The two were huddled on the sofa, one was eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, and the other was watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Xue Yingshuang thought it was fun, this was the first time he had spent the New Year like this.
Near twelve o’clock, the two of them were almost finished eating, and they returned the tableware and chopsticks to the kitchen together.
Xue Ying has two bowls, Xing Yun wipes the table. After Xue Yingshuang finished washing the dishes, he turned around and saw Xing Yun standing behind him, holding a stack of paper in his hand.
“I have something to talk to you about.” Xing Yun said.
The two came to the table and sat face to face.
Xing Yun first handed Xue Yingshuang a red envelope and said, “This is a red envelope, and there is also a year-end bonus.”
The red envelope was thick and thick, Xue Yingshuang wanted to appear calm, but when he felt the thickness of the red envelope, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He tried his best to hold back his laughter and said to Xingyun, “Thank you boss! Gong Xi Fa Cai!”
Xing Yun hooked his lips and smiled, and handed another document to Xue Yingshuang.
“I would like to make some adjustments regarding the contract between the two of us.”
These days, Xing Yun made a profound review.
The original union of the two of them stemmed from this erroneous contract, and as long as this contract existed, they could never come together normally on an equal footing.
But now, the contract has become the only bond between the two. Without this contract, he and Xue Yingshuang would only be strangers from now on.
So, no matter what, he needs the existence of this contract.
“I want to change the working hours in the original contract, and change the original morning and evening shifts to 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with a two-hour lunch break at noon.” Xing Yun said, “Of course, depending on the situation, there may be occasional If there is a need to work overtime, the overtime pay will also be calculated normally.”
Xue Yingshuang double-checked the contract and found that the vacation had also been adjusted from single to double.
“As for the work content, there are also some changes and adjustments.” Xing Yun said, “I know someone who teaches at a university and is a professor of computer science. He just needs an assistant. I hope you can help him.”
Xue Yingshuang faintly sensed what Xing Yun meant.
Xing Yundao: “From now on, your job is to be his assistant. You can do whatever he asks you to do. If he has nothing for you to do, you will be off work that day; if there is more work, It’s overtime. Of course, the salary is still paid from me.”
Xue Yingshuang’s hands trembled slightly: “What about the housework?”
Xing Yundao: “Don’t worry about the housework. However, if you are willing to earn some overtime pay, I hope you can still cook a few meals for me, but this is not necessary. You still focus on the work over there.”
Xue Yingshuang looked at Xing Yun, and Xing Yun added: “Remind you first that the other party is not a good person to get along with. You may have to deal with him with the patience to deal with me.”
Speaking of this, Xing Yun looked slightly uncomfortable, and said, “By the way, I also deleted one article. I deleted the one about not being allowed to laugh.”
Xue Yingshuang didn’t know how to describe his mood at this time. The change in this contract meant that he was no longer just Xing Yun Bao’s bed partner, and Xing Yun found a serious job for him.
Serious work related to what he has learned and speaking of.
“Such a new contract,” Xing Yun said nervously, “Can you accept it?”
At midnight, the clock strikes, and the new year is here.
Xue Ying Shuangchao Xing Yun smiled.
