Chapter 133: Happy Winter Solstice, Always Peaceful and Happy

This weekend happened to be the Winter Solstice, and we planned to have dumplings for dinner. Aunt Xue had started preparing them early.

Xue Mengmeng suddenly wanted to make dumplings together, so after Yu Xi and her class this afternoon, they went downstairs to make dumplings with the aunts.

Auntie shared noodles between the two of them so that they could also participate.

Xue Mengmeng is a pure child at heart. She just wants to play. The things she makes are of strange shapes, but she is very happy.

Yu Xi knows how to make dumplings, and they look very nice. Even the aunt praises her when she sees them.

Xue Haoyan came down from upstairs to drink water and saw a group of people chatting lively around the island counter. He approached and asked, "Why are you two also wrapped up?"

Xue Mengmeng: "Because it's fun."

Xue Haoyan glanced at the "work" in her hand, his eyes twitched, and said disdainfully: "You made it yourself, so you can eat it yourself later."

Xue Mengmeng pouted: "Just finish eating."

Seeing that Yu Xi was very skilled at wrapping, Xue Haoyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite good."

Yu Xi: "I've done it before, so I have some experience."

Auntie smiled and said, "You can tell at first glance that Yu Xi can cook."

Xue Mengmeng: "Auntie, why can't I close my mouth?"

Auntie: "Because you wet the dough, I'll help you."

"Oh."

Xue Mengmeng watched her aunt trying to save the situation and inadvertently rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, leaving some flour on the tip of her nose.

Seeing this, Xue Haoyan turned on the camera on his phone and said with a curled lip: "Xue Mengmeng, look up."

"Ah?" Xue Mengmeng looked up at him reflexively.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Xue Haoyan seized the opportunity and took several photos in a row.

Xue Mengmeng was stunned for two seconds, then she reacted and yelled, "Ah! You deleted it!"

Xue Haoyan smiled and dodged: "No deletion."

The two siblings started quarreling as they talked. Fortunately, the kitchen was large, otherwise Yu Xi and the others would not be able to continue making dumplings.

There are many people in the kitchen, so the wrapping is done very efficiently. After everything is wrapped, the aunt puts some in the pot to cook and puts the rest in the refrigerator.

Xue Mengmeng was looking forward to eating the dumplings she had made. She and Yu Xi stood by the pot and scooped them out on plates as soon as they were cooked.

Xue Haoyan walked to the table, took a look, and said, "It looks ugly, but it's quite strong and it doesn't show its true colors."

Xue Mengmeng glared at him: "You are ugly, I want to take a picture of it with my phone."

Xue Haoyan: "I'll take a picture for you."

"Then take a better picture of me." Xue Mengmeng held up her trophy and smiled at the camera.

Xue Haoyan curled his lips and deliberately teased after taking the photo: "If you are ugly, how good can you look in the photo?"

Xue Mengmeng smiled and said, "Xue Haoyan!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the aunt hurried to persuade them to make peace: "Stop it, come and eat."

"Humph," Xue Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Xue Haoyan, sat down and said, "I won't argue with you."

Yu Xi felt like laughing when she saw this. These brother and sister had such a big age gap, yet they were both quite childish.

Seeing Xue Haoyan is like this, it’s no wonder that Xue Mengmeng hates him eight times a day. Yu Xi feels that eight times may not be enough.

Auntie took out all the dumplings, put them on the table along with the dipping sauce, and invited them to come and eat.

Xue Haoyan took advantage of this gap to pick out a few photos he had just taken and posted them on his Moments, with the caption: Happy Winter Solstice, always safe and happy.

It was half an hour later that Zhang Yichi saw this post on WeChat Moments. At that time, he, Jin Zhuoxiao and Liang Mo had just chosen a place to have dinner.

While waiting for the food to be served, he casually checked WeChat.

Zhang Yichi expected that many people would post about the winter solstice on their Moments today, but he didn't expect to see Yu Xi on Xue Haoyan's Moments.

Xue Haoyan posted seven photos in total, most of them were of Xue Mengmeng, there were two of Jiaozi, and only one was of Yu Xi.

But this photo was taken very exquisitely. Yu Xi was sitting at the table with her eyes lowered, making dumplings. Her temperament looked very gentle, giving people a very subtle feeling.

Zhang Yichi squinted his eyes and stared at the photo for a while, then looked up and asked Jin Zhuoxiao: "Are you being stolen away by Xue Haoyan?"

Jin Zhuoxiao frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Look for yourself," Zhang Yichi put the phone in front of him, "he even brought Yu Xi home to make dumplings."

After seeing the photo clearly, Jin Zhuoxiao's expression suddenly changed and his eyes became terrifyingly gloomy.

Seeing this, Zhang Yichi put away his phone and said, "I have long advised you to hurry up and catch up. Now, Xue Haoyan has come from behind and taken the lead."

"She can't possibly like Xue Haoyan." Jin Zhuoxiao's jaw was clenched, his voice firm but with a hint of suppressed anger.

Zhang Yichi glanced at him: "How can you be so sure?"

Jin Zhuoxiao said nothing.

Liang Mo looked at Jin Zhuoxiao for a while and asked, "Are you waiting for Yu Xi to take the initiative to win you back?"

"Then I think Yu Xi has a better chance of finding someone else," Zhang Yichi looked at Jin Zhuoxiao in confusion, "Brother, it's obviously you who want to get back together so badly, why are you still hoping that the girl will give in first? How come I didn't know that you're so obsessed with face?"

Jin Zhuoxiao said in a muffled voice: "No."

At the beginning, Jin Zhuoxiao was indeed angry. He felt that it was Yu Xi who did not take their relationship seriously first. Even if they wanted to get back together, it should be Yu Xi who took the initiative to save the relationship.

But after a long time, Jin Zhuoxiao realized that he was the one he couldn't let go of. The more he couldn't see her, the more he missed her. Even in his dreams, there was Yu Xi. He was like a madman.

He no longer cares who Yu Xi likes. As long as Yu Xi is not with Chen Wen, he still has a chance and he must snatch Yu Xi away from her.

Jin Zhuoxiao didn't care about face. He no longer expected Yu Xi to take the initiative to win back the relationship. He just didn't believe that Yu Xi had no feelings for him at all, so he was trying to be stubborn.

He was now like an arrow ready to be shot, madly trying to aim at any sign that Yu Xi cared about him. As long as he noticed it, he would take action immediately and chase Yu Xi again.

This time, Jin Zhuoxiao is determined to make Yu Xi fall in love with him completely and never be able to leave him again.

Zhang Yichi: "Then why don't you chase her?"

"It's not the time yet." Jin Zhuoxiao spoke in a low voice, and it was unclear whether he was talking to Zhang Yichi or to himself.

"I really don't understand you anymore." Zhang Yichi said and sent a message to Xue Haoyan.

Zhang Yichi: [Why is Yu Xi at your house? ]

Xue Haoyan: [She is now tutoring my sister.]

Zhang Yichi: [You two didn’t talk? ]

Xue Haoyan: [No.]

Zhang Yichi: [OK.]

After replying the message, Zhang Yichi looked up and said, "Yu Xi is now tutoring Xue Haoyan's sister, so she is at his house. The two of them haven't talked, but I still advise you to make a move as soon as possible. It's hard to guarantee that you won't develop feelings if you spend so much time together."

Jin Zhuoxiao drooped his eyelids, making it impossible to discern the emotions in his eyes.

After the winter solstice, the sky seemed to be much clearer and the sun was shining brightly at noon, but the temperature was still not high.

Thanks to the job provided by Xue Haoyan, Yu Xi plans to reduce the frequency of going to the cafe to do odd jobs, at least she can take a break when she has many classes.

Today is Monday and the class schedule is full. After the afternoon class, Yu Xi stayed in the dormitory and did not go out.

After Chen Yingxin came back, she suddenly said to her, "Yu Xi, Brother Xiao said he has something to talk to you about, and asked you to go to the Blue Ocean Club to find him now."

Yu Xi frowned: "Why did he look for me?"

Chen Yingxin: "I don't know about that. He just asked me to tell you, and said that you will have to bear the consequences if you fail to do so. You should go now and don't make him wait anxiously."
