Chapter 465: Just Watching a Movie
Under the night cover of New Year's Eve.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Li Luo stood in the yard, holding two girls in his arms, but still holding the phone and answering a call from the third girl.

Xu Youyu's sweet smile on the other end of the phone seemed to be right in front of me.

When Li Luo heard her voice, a slight smile appeared on his face: "Yeah, I missed you."

The fireworks were brilliant and exploded in the air.

Only Xu Youyu on the other end of the phone vaguely heard the words "I miss you". Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng didn't listen very carefully.

So the two girls in his arms looked up, and Yan Zhusheng asked curiously, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

"It's Sister Yu calling." Li Luo said this and turned on the speakerphone of his phone. "It's Sister Yu. Xixi and Zhusheng are both here."

"Oh, Xixi Zhusheng! Hello~" Xu Youyu said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Happy New Year~"

"Happy New Year, senior sister." Ying Chanxi reacted and quickly greeted the person on the other end of the phone.

Yan Zhusheng on the side also responded obediently.

"Are you setting off fireworks over there?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Yes, Li Luo just released it." Ying Chanxi nodded.

"I'm so envious. They don't allow fireworks in the city," Xu Youyu complained. "But there are only a few people in my family celebrating the New Year, and there's no festive atmosphere. It doesn't make much difference whether we fireworks or not."

"Next time during the Chinese New Year, I'd better come with you." Yan Zhusheng said, "The Chinese New Year atmosphere is very strong here."

Ying Chanxi: “……?”

After taking a look at Yan Zhusheng, Ying Chanxi snorted softly, thinking that she should be the one to invite, Zhusheng was really something.

But Xu Youyu must be celebrating the New Year at home. How could he possibly come to the countryside on New Year's Eve?
Xu Youyu agreed with a smile, saying "OK", but didn't think much about it.

"By the way, I saw Aunt Yuan on stage during the Spring Festival Gala." Xu Youyu laughed, "When she sang "Mother and Daughter", my mother almost cried again. When she sang "As Wish", my father almost shed tears too. It made me laugh to death. Aunt Yuan sang so beautifully!"

"My mother said that you will come to visit us on the fifth day of the New Year. Did you know about this?" Li Luo asked.

"Oh, I just heard about this from my mom yesterday when I got home." Xu Youyu nodded, feeling excited. "How about I persuade my mom to stay for two more days? Anyway, I have basically met all the relatives who should be visited before the fifth day of the New Year."

"All right." Li Luo nodded and said, "Xixi's house has plenty of rooms."

"Hmph." Ying Chanxi wrinkled his nose again, but still said, "There are two empty rooms on the third floor. You can live here with your uncle and aunt when the time comes."

"Isn't there also a vacant room at Li Luo's place?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Well, I only have one empty room here." Li Luo reminded, "It's not good for you to live separately from your parents."

"Oh, I understand." Xu Youyu nodded, but did not force it.

Anyway, where exactly I sleep at night...who knows.

The four chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

The fireworks had all been set off, so Li Luo went to light up another box.

It wasn't just their family in Lijia Village that was setting off fireworks; every household had fireworks launching into the sky.

It seemed as if the air was a paradise of fireworks, which made people dizzy.

Li Luo picked up his mobile phone, took a few photos of the night sky, recorded a video, and sent it to Xu Youyu.

[Going to bed early will make you taller]: I’m so jealous! So pretty!

[Reignite]: When you come over on the fifth day of the New Year, you can set it off again.

[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Great ~ my husband is so nice!

Li Luo: “…”

After seeing the content sent by Xu Youyu, Li Luo quickly turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket, preventing Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng from seeing what was displayed on the phone screen.

Li Luo and the others returned to the second floor only after the fireworks were over.

After taking a short rest in the living room and chatting with my family on the sofa, it was almost one in the morning.

Li Luo looked at the various messages on his mobile phone and felt inexplicably emotional.

Because there are quite a lot of people sending him New Year greetings.

At least seventy or eighty students from Class Eight, the Student Union, the Rock Club and the Literature Club sent him New Year greetings.

The head teacher Kong Junxiang also sent a message, and Li Luo quickly replied.

In addition, there were hundreds of online writers who wished him a happy new year. Some of them he was not familiar with, and they also sent him a group message.

Many authors also sent him their blessings, and Li Luo politely responded one by one.

Editor Qianzhou, editor-in-chief Hongdou, and even chief editor Nanfeng all sent New Year greetings. The president of Wenyue Group, who I added earlier, also sent a message.

Judging from the template, it is probably sent in bulk.

Director Wang Jun, who he had added before, also sent him a message very politely, as did Lawyer Tian, ​​who had been helping him follow up on copyright cooperation.

All in all, it is estimated that about two hundred people took the initiative to send him New Year greetings.

This made Li Luo feel emotional and a little dazed.

Looking back to my previous life, it’s hard to say whether the number of people who would send me New Year’s greetings every year could reach double digits.

In his impression, it seemed that only Zhao Rongjun would give him money every year.

In addition, after getting to know Xu Youyu, Sister Youyu would also send him messages.

As for Yan Zhusheng, they had only known each other for more than half a year, but before they even had time to celebrate the New Year, she had already gone abroad for medical treatment.

To be honest, in his previous life, Li Luo didn’t have much feeling about this.

Now, seeing the red dots popping up one by one on his phone, he realized the meaning of comparison.

Just a little tired.

Li Luo replied to them one by one. For those he was not familiar with, he would copy and paste a unified template, and for those he was familiar with, he would type honestly.

It was not until one o'clock in the morning that Lin Xiuhong woke him up.

"Let's go." Lin Xiuhong said, "We are going to the temple to pray for blessings. You take Xixi and Zhusheng with you."

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Li Luo finally replied, let out a long sigh, stood up, patted his butt, and took Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi with him and walked outside.

Ying Zhicheng, Li Guohong, Li Dao, Li Guoru and others drove the car. Grandpa and grandma had gone to sleep and couldn't stand the tossing and turning, so their four cars were just enough to fit everyone.

However, his daughter followed Li Luo into Li Guohong's car. Ying Zhicheng could only watch with a slight twitch on his lips. After silently accepting this reality, he picked up the two pairs of mother and daughter, Li Xuefeng and Li Xuemei.

As for Li Luo, he was naturally sandwiched between the two girls and could only sit in the most uncomfortable middle seat in the back seat.

Fortunately, the SUV was quite spacious, and Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were both slender, so the three of them were not crowded in the back seat. Li Guohong took the lead, driving in the front, leading the three cars behind him, all the way to the nearest temple.

At 1:30 in the morning, the whole family arrived at the parking lot in front of the temple and found a good spot to park.

Yan Zhusheng was confused when he saw the huge crowds of people around him. He subconsciously grabbed Li Luo's sleeve and asked in a puzzled voice, "Why are there so many people?"

"Everyone is here to pray." Li Luo leaned close to Yan Zhusheng's ear and explained, "The early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year means a new year and a new beginning. People come to the temple to pray at this time and pray for good luck in the coming year."

"You can pray more later. Tell the Bodhisattva if you have any wishes."

"Whether it works or not, let's make this wish first."

Yan Zhusheng nodded, not quite understanding.

In foreign countries, there are also similar rituals such as praying before meals, and many religious people will go to church to worship on weekends. They probably have similar effects.

It was just the first day of the new year, and coming to the temple to pray for blessings was the first time Yan Zhusheng had seen such a thing since returning to China with Yuan Wanqing, and it felt quite novel.

But besides being curious, he was still a little scared, so along the way, Yan Zhusheng silently grabbed Li Luo's sleeve and refused to let go.

Even though Ying Chanxi distributed three incense sticks to her, she held the incense in her left hand and held Li Luo's sleeve with her right hand.

Ying Chanxi puffed out his lips and secretly pulled Li Luo's clothes.

Li Xiang and Chen Lu, who were following behind, saw this scene and looked at each other silently. Everything was said without words.

"My brother deserves to die..." Chen Lu muttered softly, "How did he do that?"

Chen Lu knew very well that Xixi's father Ying Zhicheng was the general manager of a large company, and his family must not be short of money.

As for Yan Zhusheng, her mother is Yuan Wanqing, so how could she be short of money?

Although Li Luo is very rich now, the two girls definitely don't like him for this reason.

Of course, in Chen Lu's eyes, Li Luo is already a very outstanding boy.

If Ying Chanxi or Yan Zhusheng were alone, it would be understandable and reasonable for them to fall in love with Li Luo and stick to him.

But both girls stuck to Li Luo, didn't quarrel or argue with each other, and even seemed to be getting along quite well.

This made Chen Lu very confused.

And according to Li Xiang, besides these two, there is also a Xu Youyu?

How outrageous!
Anyway, if it were Chen Lu herself, she would definitely not be willing to share her boyfriend with other girls.

I can only say that my younger brother is really good at picking up girls.

Chen Lu looked at the backs of the three people in front of him with a somewhat strange expression on his face. He thought about these things in his mind and finally sighed.

It’s probably not easy to find a boyfriend as outstanding as Li Luo.

Chen Lu has now graduated from university and works in a bank. He feels that his colleagues are quite ordinary.

Not to mention Li Luo, I feel he is not even as good as Chen Yongqi.

"Pinch it, kneel on it and bow three times." Li Luo demonstrated it to Yan Zhusheng, and then reminded him, "Remember to make a wish when you bow."

"Can I only wish for one?" Yan Zhusheng asked with his head tilted.

"You can wish for more." Li Luo laughed, "It depends on how many wishes you have."

"It's not much." Yan Zhusheng looked at Li Luo, then at Ying Chanxi, and then imitated Li Luo's just now, holding incense in his hand, kneeling down and bowing several times to the Buddha statue in front of him.

I don’t know how many wishes he made, but it seemed that Yan Zhusheng took much longer to bow three times than others.

I took Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi for a stroll in the temple, worshipped all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that could be worshipped, and the early morning prayers ended.

By the time I got home, it was almost three in the morning.

Despite the buff of the New Year, everyone was very sleepy at this point and went back to their rooms to sleep.

However, shortly after Li Luo finished taking a shower and returned to his room, his door was quietly pushed open.

Ying Chanxi’s little head popped in from outside, and then Yan Zhusheng’s head appeared above Ying Chanxi’s head.

The two men looked into the room and saw Li Luo lying on the bed.

"Don't peek secretly." Li Luo sighed and opened his arms as if he had already accepted his fate. "Come in quickly, don't let my parents see it."

"Let's go watch a movie." Ying Chanxi said in a low voice.

"It was Xixi who said she wanted to sleep with you." Yan Zhusheng ruthlessly exposed Ying Chanxi's true face.

Ying Chanxi blushed and shook her head fiercely to deny it: "No! It was you, Zhu Sheng, who said that!"

"I did say that." Yan Zhusheng nodded and admitted, "And you agreed, so it's like you said it too."

Ying Chanxi: “……?”

I have to say that Yan Zhusheng's train of thought is always a little weirder than others, but it always makes people feel that it is reasonable, and I don't know how to refute it.

"Then let's watch a movie." Li Luo gave Ying Chanxi a step down and reached out to take the notebook on the desk.

Seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately came to the bed, climbed onto Li Luo's bed, and lay down in a position against the wall.

So Yan Zhusheng could only sleep on the outside, crawl into Li Luo's quilt, and lean against the head of the bed waiting to watch the movie.

Although they said they were watching a movie, the three of them actually had other intentions, as long as they could be close to each other, it was fine.

Yan Zhusheng watched Li Luo choosing a movie to watch, then he leaned over and hugged his arm.

Ying Chanxi saw Yan Zhusheng's little action, and not to be outdone, he hugged Li Luo and put his head on Li Luo's shoulder.

Li Luo randomly picked a movie and the three of them watched the movie while commenting and complaining about the plot.

Many times, if you watch a movie alone, you will feel upset if you see a bad movie.

But if you watch a bad movie with friends and complain about it, it might become fun instead.

But it was already late.

Ying Chanxi watched the movie for about half an hour before he became drowsy. His head nodded from time to time, and finally he leaned completely on Li Luo's shoulder and fell asleep.

As a result, when Yan Zhusheng on the other side found that Ying Chanxi fell asleep, he immediately covered the notebook on Li Luo's belly and put it on the desk, not intending to continue reading it.

"Are we going to sleep?" Li Luo asked.

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, but did not do anything to sleep. Instead, he slightly lifted the quilt, climbed on top of Li Luo, and finally sat on his stomach.

Glancing at Ying Chanxi's deep sleeping face, Yan Zhusheng considerately helped her lean her head against the pillow, then hugged Li Luo's neck and whispered, "Li Luo, I want to practice singing."

Li Luo was speechless when he heard this: "...At this time of night, your excuse is a bit...hmm..."
