Chapter 172: What holiday should be spent with a junior?
Then he left without looking back, leaving Xu Yisen alone in the attic, feeling sad.
...
As the Lunar New Year approached, Xu Yisen simply gave himself an early holiday.
He had thought that living under the same roof with Qin Muni might foster some feelings, but every time he wanted to talk more with Qin Muni, she would instinctively find an excuse to avoid him.
Even Bai Wan Yun noticed the unusual tension between the two, so she planned to help her son. However, Qin Muni perceived her intentions and cleverly refused, maintaining a rational distance from Xu Yisen.
On New Year’s Eve, the family spent the whole day together, eating, walking, watching TV, chatting, playing chess; the atmosphere was very warm.
In the evening, after dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. They planned to count down the New Year together, but Grandma Xu, being older, couldn’t resist the sleepiness by eleven. She gave the prepared red envelopes to the four and then got up to go back to her room to sleep.
Mr. Xu and Bai Wan Yun wanted to spend some time together, so not long after Grandma Xu went to her room, they handed the prepared red envelopes to Qin Muni and Xu Yisen, then casually found an excuse to return to their room.
Suddenly, only Qin Muni and Xu Yisen were left in the living room.
"It’s getting late; I should go back to my room to rest too."
