"Auntie, Happy New Year!" Xu Chen bowed politely. ＋◆，

"Come on, why are you so polite?" Tang said with a smile on his face: "There is nothing lacking at home!"

"It's a New Year, it's a festive picture!" Xu Chen replied with a smile.

Tang Yuan's house is not big, and after passing through the shop on the street, he went to the wing room on the south side of the small courtyard.

Sitting on the layout of facing north and south, the house on the north side is the living place of the owner's family, but the north side is adjacent to Dongshi Street, if it is not a shop, it is a pity.

The rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard are inhabited by a few maids and men, one of the rooms on the south side is used as a living room, and the rooms on both sides of the living room are occupied by Tang Yuan and his wife and daughter Tang Xuejun.

Although the courtyard is small, but quite exquisite, Tang Yuan's family are elegant people, people who don't have a little artistic atmosphere can't do porcelain work, although the whole courtyard has no pavilions, rockeries and jade, but it seems that the potted plants and a few flowers and plants placed at random will bring out the quiet and peaceful temperament to the fullest.

Tang Xuexue was dressed in a white jacket, but she was not bloated, she looked a little lazy under the light, and when she saw her parents leading the guests into the door, she slowly got up and said, "Happy New Year to Gongzi Xu!"

"Happy New Year!" After Xu Chen bowed his hand, he hurriedly patted Shi Lei, who was depressed beside him.

Shi Lei glared at the eldest brother resentfully, but he didn't dare to disobey, took two steps forward with a beautiful gift box, bowed down and said, "Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, Sister Tang Happy New Year!"

"It's not a rare thing, I got two skins a few days ago, thinking that my uncles and aunts are all southerners, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the cold when I first come to the north, so I have renovated three sets of linings, which are quite warm!" Xu Chen then said with a smile.

"Eh!eh!" Tang's face was full of smiles: "You have a heart! Stone, come! Auntie will give you a big red envelope!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Shi Lei took it with a smile, but it was inevitable that he would smile a little, although Tang's red envelope was not light, but our Brother Shi was already a master who was not bad for money!

"Xiao Chen, this is yours!" As he spoke, Tang handed Xu Chen another big red envelope.

Xu Chen showed appropriate surprise and took it with a smile: "I have it too!"

"Of course there is!" Tang said with a smile: "As long as you don't get married for a day, you can have it!"

When he said this, Tang handed another red envelope to Tang Xueying, and the words were also said to his daughter.

"I said why didn't there be a red envelope yesterday! Tang Xueying was depressed in her heart, but she was still smiling on her face, deliberately grabbed her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "That's a good dare!

"Dead girl, what are you talking nonsense!" Tang suddenly changed his face, and glared at his daughter viciously with Xu Chen behind his back, with a warning on his face.

Xu Chen behind him just smiled, but Shi Lei next to him had already lowered his head, and his feet were sneaking back and wanting to leave here immediately.

Xu Chen's hand came over naturally, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Shi Lei lightly.

"Damn! what's going on!" Shi Lei was very depressed in his heart, and suddenly had an idea, and smiled sweetly: "Uncle, aunt, let's eat quickly! I'm hungry!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Dinner!" Tang hurriedly stood up.

Because Xu Chen often sends some novelty things here, the Tang family now uses tables and chairs, and the meals are prepared early.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, well, it's intentional! Tang Xueying sat directly opposite Xu Chen, and the two could see each other as long as they looked up.

This scene is so familiar!

Although Xu Chen has never experienced it, similar scenes are familiar.

If two complete strangers are forced together to talk about marriage, it is naturally embarrassing, but if the other party is the person you like, then at least when you get along, it should be a pleasant experience.

It's just that the two people at the dinner table really don't see the slightest sign of happiness.

Tang Xueying only cared about eating vegetables, the whole family waited for this kid for a long time, and he didn't eat anything, so he was naturally hungry and panicked, and if he didn't eat enough, how could he fight wits and courage with his father and mother and this stinky boy later?

As for Xu Chen, he has mixed feelings in his heart, and he knows very well the intentions of Tang Yuan and his wife, but he has his own insistence in his heart, or the bottom line.

It's not that I don't like her, if I don't like her, how can I put so much thought and do so much in the past year or so?

It's just that it shouldn't be like this!

used to be self, I liked that person, but because of some very helpless practical reasons, I didn't even have the qualifications to stand opposite her.

The person in front of her is so similar to the one she used to be, whether it is appearance or temperament, almost that glance at the beginning has made Xu Chen sink again.

Xu Chen is very sober, he knows that the person in front of him is clearly different from her in the past, although at the beginning he had naïve fantasies, the benevolent God gave him and her a chance to be alone in a strange world, but after countless investigations, Xu Chen had already confirmed that the person in front of him belonged to this world completely, and was not the one he dreamed of.

Can...... So what?

Obsession has already devoured his body and mind like poison, even if he knows that it is a mistake, he is willing to sink, the memories of that person tumble in Xu Chen's mind again and again, and then coincide with the person in front of him again and again, inseparable and unwilling to separate!

What about the fault?

Unwilling!

Because of this unwillingness, Xu Chen must not tolerate the slightest regret of this precious opportunity in front of him, he needs to come little by little, from acquaintance, acquaintance to love step by step, to turn all the things that once only existed in fantasy into reality, he wants to talk to her about a love without regrets!

It's very helpless, very desolate, and even a little sick, which makes people sick, but this is the truest thought in Xu Chen's heart.

He didn't sue anyone, and he didn't intend to sue anyone!

Of course, Tang Yuan and his wife's idea is good! Being able to join hands with her is what he dreams of, but it's just ...... It shouldn't be so fast!

Why did you get married just yet?

If it is so easy, then what is the point? If the regret in his heart cannot be erased, and the obsession is still there, how can he face her in front of him?

Therefore, Xu Chen also decided to be silent, although Tang Yuan and his wife kept hinting, he was still indifferent.

"Xiaochen, it's not too young this year, right?"

After a few words, Tang Yuan knew that if he continued like this for the rest of his life, he would not want to get the words he wanted from the mouth of Xu Chen, a little fox, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

"I'll be nineteen after the New Year!" Xu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and he said respectfully.

"Nineteen?" Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a year older than Xiao Jue, right? Xiao Jue is nineteen this year!"

"That's a virtual year......" Xu Chen muttered in a low voice.

Tang Xueying, who had been bowing her head to eat vegetables, heard her parents rushing to express her attitude to the stinky boy opposite: "What does this stinky boy mean? This girl is so bad! How can this be reasonable, as if she can't get married, and she is still in a hurry to post it, right?"

After all, she is still a person of this era, although Tang Xueying is more assertive than ordinary women, but she is already gentle and gentle, she really can't do it, and she is cold, although she also dislikes her parents' actions in her heart, but there is no impatience on her face.

It's just that the perception of Xu Chen in my heart is getting worse and worse.

However, as soon as Xu Chen's muttering came out, Tang Xueying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although the laughter was only for a moment, the room was already quiet, and all eyes were on him.

The girl lowered her head, hurriedly wiped the stains from the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and raised her head, her face flushed.

Under the light, a flush appeared on the fair face, which looked extremely delicate.

Xu Chen couldn't help but look stupid.

"What does this kid mean! Obviously a reluctant posture, why do you look at me with such demented eyes?" Tang Xueying hurriedly looked away, and at the same time she was a little happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but overflow from the bottom of her heart.

Tang Yuan was about to exit, but his wife on the side saw the opportunity, and hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes, and glanced out of the door.

Tang Yuan understood, and the two of them hurriedly got up quietly, and when they left, Tang patted Shi Lei, who was eating Haisai with his head, on the shoulder.

Shi Lei looked up and saw that Tang Yuan and his wife had already gotten up and walked out, he was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, and moved too much between turns, bringing down the chair under the seat.

A sound is not heavy, but it is enough to awaken Xu Chen's obsession.

"Hehe, eldest brother, sister Tang, you go on! Go on!" Shi Lei, who was smirking while holding up the chair, ran out of the house as if he were running away.

As a result, the original charming atmosphere disappeared, Xu Chen lowered his head in embarrassment, and his old face was rarely red.

Tang Xuejun on the other side smiled: "It turns out that this guy will be shy!"

After the few people left, the two people in the room fell silent again.

Xu Chen was a little uncomfortable, he was not good at getting along like this, although he had also read some books such as how to chat, how to stir up a topic, etc., but he didn't have a chance to really show it.

When it was time to use it, I found that I couldn't remember anything in a nervous mood.

Tang Xueying is not an innocent girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, whether it is the calmness when the family is in the midst of great changes or the struggle in Chang'an afterward, and the care of her own shop for so many days, she has already been trained to become an excellent businesswoman.

"Wouldn't he? he would still be nervous?" Tang Xueying turned her gaze back to Xu Chen as if she was curious.

Everything about the young man in front of him in his memory, whether it was the old spiciness, the indifference about the war revealed from the occasional correspondence over the past year, or the fierceness when he stepped on the blood and smiled on the Suzaku Street a few days ago, Tang Xuexue remembered it very deeply.

However, there is no ...... in this memory. Nervous!

"It's not like it's fake!" Tang Xueying looked at Xu Chen.

Feeling the gaze from the other side, Xu Chen looked over and asked with a smile, "You, what are you looking at?"

"It's strange that you can be nervous!" Tang Xuexuan blurted out.
