920 The Preparations Before Departure
After a joyful night, the next day, Yun Xi slowly woke up in Zhou Lin’s arms. When she turned her head, she found Zhou Lin looking at her with half-closed eyes full of affection.
“When did you wake up?”
Yun Xi reached out and pinched his face. His face looked very skinny, but it felt surprisingly good to touch. Yun Xi couldn’t help but pinch his face a few more times, but Zhou Lin grabbed her hand and rubbed his face against it.
“I just woke up. I wanted to get up, but because someone’s sleeping face is too cute, I didn’t want to anymore.”
After he finished speaking, Zhou Lin kissed her, and his hands fumbled around restlessly. Yun Xi’s sleepiness was dispelled immediately, and she pushed him gently.
“Don’t mess around. I still have to go to my dad’s place to pay a New Year visit soon!”
“Don’t worry, there’s still time.” Zhou Lin dragged his tone and whispered in Yun Xi’s ear, making her tremble and feel ticklish.
“It’s already this late, can we still make it?” Yun Xi broke free with a smile. “It’s time to get ready!”
Every time, Zhou Lin would torment her until the latter half of the night. She did not believe this man’s words! Moreover, they had agreed to go to the Zhou family to pay a New Year’s visit today. This was all planned to be done earlier in the day, and if they were delayed, they would have to wait until the afternoon.
Turning around, she saw Zhou Lin sitting on the bed and looking at Yun Xi with an aggrieved expression. It made her feel as if she had done something unforgivable and a sense of guilt welled up inside her.
Then, she helped Zhou Lin choose a set of clothes and threw it on his head.
The two of them packed up and went out. They found that Yun Shan, his wife, and Yun Yang were already waiting in the living room. At this time, they were counting the number of gifts to bring.
“Hey, this is not right. This is for Jing Ning!”
“That’s for your uncle’s family!”
“Honey, I can’t remember so many!”
“Yun Yang, come memorize it!”
“Mom, please spare me. I hate remembering this the most! Ah, Big Sis is here!”
As soon as Yun Xi arrived in the living room, she heard the noise of several people making a fuss. However, she didn’t find it noisy at all. Instead, it made her feel very warm.
How did she spend the new year in her previous life? Yun Xi recalled.
At that time, she was already beyond cure. Her body could only stand and walk for about an hour. For the rest of the time, she was lying in bed alone. No one would come to see her. The nurse’s Happy New Year wish had been the only blessing she received.
In this life, not only did she have a family that loved her, but she had a career of her own, and she also had a lover that would accompany her for life. To her, this was already the best.
“Remember it by yourself.” However, Yun Xi still smiled and rejected Yun Yang, successfully getting a bitter face out of him.
It was Zhou Lin who could not stand it and helped him, otherwise, he probably would not be able to figure it out even when they were about to leave.
“Yay, I knew that brother-in-law is the best!”
As he spoke, Yun Yang made a face at Yun Xi, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
According to tradition, they should only visit their in-laws on the second day of the new year. However, Yun Xi’s family did not want to go too early, as the old lady would not have anything to do with them. Moreover, to them, the Zhou family was closer.
On the first day of the new year, there would definitely be many people visiting Old Madam Yun, especially when they heard that she had made a fuss a few days ago about going back to her hometown in the countryside for the new year. She said that she did not know anyone in the city and that she didn’t feel happy at all this year.
The Old Madam argued that if she did not go back, her body would not get better, and so on. Even the second family could not do anything about it, so they could only drag Yun Zhu and Yun Lin back to the village by bus.
Fortunately, Yun Qiao and Luo Chen had told her in advance that they would be spending the new year in the army. Otherwise, Yun Xi was really afraid that Luo Chen would not be able to handle the relatives who came to visit him from the countryside.
She was afraid that Yun Zhu would be criticized by the villagers when he went back, which would cause him more psychological problems.
However, Yun Xi would not care so much now, because she felt that Chen Li and Yun Shan, who were beside her, were a little unnatural. When they got into the car just now, they had almost hit their heads.
“Mom, dad, what’s wrong?” Yun Xi asked concernedly as soon as she got into the car, thinking that the couple was not feeling well.
When Yun Shan heard this, she laughed dryly and said, “Haha! No, nothing’s wrong! We’re feeling very good!”
“That’s right, that’s right. There’s nothing wrong at all. Don’t let your imagination run wild, child.”
When Yun Yang heard this, he leaned out from the front row and turned his head to send a message to Yun Xi. It turned out that this was the first time the two of them had gone to the Zhou family with this identity and they were a little nervous.
After hearing that, Yun Xi burst out laughing and comforted the two of them.
“Dad, mom, don’t be nervous. Old master Zhou doesn’t eat people. You can just go in your normal state. Besides, Zhou Lin is here too. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Zhou Lin, who was driving, heard Yun Xi mention him and revealed a smile.
So, he was considered a son-in-law-to-be?
