"After a year, we revisit the old place..."

Amid Dai Yuni's emotional murmur, Yang Qian turned on the light in the living room with a "pop" sound.

The bright light suddenly drove away the darkness, and a familiar and warm arrangement appeared in front of Dai Yuni. Even the gramophone that she had placed there before returning to the Magic City remained silently in place.

There seemed to be some changes, but it seemed to be exactly the same as the layout in my memory.

"What does it mean to have a gap of one year? When you go back to the Magic City, it only lasts three weeks. Does this count as a gap of one year?"

Yang Qian put the key on the acrylic plate on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes and went into the kitchen to cook noodles for Dai Yuni.

"It's still New Year's Eve. One is 21 and the other is 2022. Do you think it's a year apart?"

Dai Yuni also put on slippers and pushed her suitcase to her room, winking mischievously at Yang Qian halfway.

"Okay, nothing wrong!"

Yang Qian shook his head and walked to the kitchen with a smile.

"Comfortable!"

Dai Yuni put the suitcase next to the closet and did not rush to pack it. She first took off her thick down jacket, hung it on the back of the chair, and then lay down comfortably on her bed.

Even the sweater could not hide her perfectly curved figure.

Raising her hand again, she touched the quilt folded like tofu blocks next to her. Dai Yuni's mind flashed back to the scene of Yang Qian carefully adding cotton cores to her during the video call a few days ago.

It's colder in Yangcheng now than before Christmas.

But even though the air was icy, Dai Yuni's heart was warm.

Walking out of the bedroom, Dai Yuni walked around the living room with cheerful steps like a dancer.

It feels like the hostess has returned!

Dai Yuni actually stayed here for a week last time, because Yang Qian agreed that a room was exclusively for him, so he was almost half the owner.

But now that Dai Yuni steps here again, her identity is completely different. She is not a half-master, but a legitimate mistress!

And the decoration in this house also has part of her contribution!

Well, isn't this a gramophone?

Dai Yuni came to the gramophone and was pleasantly surprised to find several vinyl record boxes on the table next to her!

“When did you buy the vinyl record?”

Dai Yuni ran to the kitchen happily and asked Yang Qian who was busy in an apron.

"Just a few days ago, on Tuesday, my teacher heard that I wanted to buy vinyl records, so he recommended an old bookstore to me, where I could also find old storybooks and old records. Of course, the prices were not cheap.

The pictures I bought are all genuine and original, and each one costs more than 300 yuan."

As Yang Qian spoke, he opened the refrigerator and took out the frozen shrimp sliders.

"It's still the same record as before! This is great. Later, you can take me to go shopping and see if you can buy a few for my dad. He also likes this kind of antiques!"

Dai Yuni actually felt a little guilty towards her father.

Now I want to make amends for him.

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow. Used books are easier to sell there, but old records are not that popular. There should be a lot of good stuff! Let's buy a few more, and then you can take them back to your uncle.

"

Yang Qian held a small bowl with shrimp paste and stood by the stove fire, waiting for the water to boil.

"It's not me who takes it back and gives it to my dad, it's you who gives it to my dad!"

Dai Yuni suddenly remembered what she had said to her father at the airport just now, asking Da Mu to meet him.

"What?"

Yang Qian was stunned for a moment.

He turned around and saw Dai Yuni's big blinking eyes.

Very innocent looking...

Of course, Dai Yuni would not lie, and she quickly told Yang Qian the cause and effect.

"That's true of you. Uncle Dai wanted to have dinner with you, so you secretly came to Yangcheng to find me. I can't even imagine how Uncle Dai feels now."

Yang Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that his father-in-law must want to cut him to pieces at this moment.

…

"A sneeze!"

Dai Zhenhong was in the study room, looking at some information about the Mei Group sent by his assistant, when he suddenly sneezed.

Who is burying me?

Comrade Lao Dai rubbed his nose and frowned.

…

"Hehe, don't worry, my dad is quite open-minded. When the time comes, you can apologize to him and give him a record, and he won't be angry anymore."

Dai Yuni patted Yang Qian's shoulder and comforted him carelessly.

She was not afraid of her father losing his temper. Comrade Dai was the kind of person who made loud noises but little rain. She would be fine if she just shrank her neck and accepted his lecture.

However, Dai Yuni didn't think about it, could Yang Qian be treated as well as her?

Yang Qian obviously couldn't be as relaxed as her, but after he sighed helplessly, he still shook his head and said:

"Okay, face it sooner or later, sooner or later you have to face it!"

"What do you mean? Did you agree to come to my house during the Spring Festival? I'm not asking you to go there on New Year's Eve or the first day of the Lunar New Year. You can choose a suitable time."

Dai Yuni hugged his arm with some joy.

"Since your dad asked me to meet him, I must go and visit him. How can I not give face to my elders? If I want to be with you, I have to treat your dad as...the one I respect the most.

The elders will treat it, right?"

When the word "Dad" came to his lips, Yang Qian felt a little embarrassed, so he changed his wording.

"You said it, don't back down when the time comes!"

Dai Yuni knew that her father would not accept Yang Qian so easily, but seeing that he was willing to fight for her, she couldn't help but hug Yang Qian tighter and looked at him with joy.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a down jacket, and the thick clothes blocked the soft and elastic feeling, Yang Qian would definitely not be able to control it.

But at this time, he was discussing the future with Dai Yuni.

"I won't back down... Yu Ni, wait a moment, I'll tell you after I've cooked the noodles."

Yang Qian's tone was more solemn, but now is not the time for a long speech.

Dai Yuni is still hungry!

In order to let Dai Yuni have "supper" quickly, Yang Qian first took out his hand, used a spoon to scoop up the shrimps in the small bowl, and threw them into the boiling water.

"Hey, this is fun!"

Dai Yuni watched in amazement as the bowl of shrimps went from a sticky state to gradually forming into small dumplings after being put into the water.

In fact, it’s not like she has never eaten shrimp sliders before, the waiters at hot pot restaurants outside also serve shrimp sliders like this.

But this was the first time for Dai Yuni to see the complete process of shrimp slippery from gray-black jelly to dumpling at such a close distance and in such clear boiling water.

I have to say, very interesting!

Dai Yuni also had to use a spoon to experience the feeling of digging shrimps into the water.

But she failed...

"You can't put the spoon in the water, otherwise the shrimp will be cooked and stick to the spoon quickly."

Yang Qian took it over dumbfounded. Dai Yuni's shrimp slipper and the spoon were stuck together, forming a flat shape, and he could only use another chopstick to remove it.

Dai Yuni embarrassedly used laughter to cover up her clumsiness.

A delicate job like cooking still needs someone as careful and conscientious as Da Mu.

It didn't take long for Yang Qian's bowl of shrimp and vegetable noodle soup with very simple ingredients to be served to their small dining table in the guest restaurant.

"It smells so good! The soup is so delicious, it feels a bit like the famous shrimp and bamboo noodles in Yangcheng!"

Dai Yuni picked up the spoon and couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup.

In this winter, drinking a bowl of hot soup with rich umami flavor will make you feel comfortable even if you don't eat noodles!

Of course, you still have to eat other things. Dai Yuni had the shrimp slippery first, which was also very delicious. The texture was similar to that in a hot pot restaurant, smooth and a little chewy.

She couldn't help but give a thumbs up again.

"It's delicious! Eat slowly. It's not good to overeat if you've been hungry for a long time."

Yang Qian was sitting opposite and saw her eating happily with a smile on her face.

"Don't you want to eat it? Well, I like this omelette too! Put a fried egg on top, this way of eating is so magical!"
