Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 172: Happy Every Year

My third cousin Ruan Qinqing returned home before the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Ruan Qinqing had the typical appearance of a strong-faced beauty, with fair skin, a slim waist and long legs. Lu Youning was extremely envious of her.

Ruan Fuxi was standing next to Lu Youning. Seeing her glowing eyes, he leaned over to whisper in her ear, "In my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful."

Lu Youning quickly retracted her gaze and glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, Third Sister is still here."

Ruan Qinqing smiled lightly and said, "My brother is not talking nonsense. You are really beautiful."

Lu Youning smiled shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, Third Sister!"

Ruan Qinqing was already a well-known actor and had work arrangements during the New Year, so he had to rush back to film after eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This is how it is as an actor. Filming during the Chinese New Year is a normal practice. If you don't shoot, there are plenty of people who will rush to do it.

Before leaving, Ruan Qinqing gave Lu Youning a New Year gift, a limited edition Hermès 24 Faubourg perfume.

Lu Youning looked at Ruan Fuxi hesitantly, only to see Ruan Fuxi nodded slightly. This time, she accepted the gift and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Third Sister."

Ruan Fuxi also thanked her, "Thank you, Third Sister."

Ruan Qinqing smiled lightly and winked at Ruan Fuxi, "You're still being polite to me, brother. Your girlfriend is pretty good, she suits my taste."

Ruan Fuxi took Lu Youning's hand, unable to hide his smile, "I'm pretty good too."

Ruan Qinqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look how happy you are. I'm in a hurry and have to go. Youning, come visit me in Hengdian when you have time."

Lu Youning quickly nodded and responded, "Okay, Third Sister, I will definitely come to visit you when I have time." Then the two exchanged contact information.

Ruan Qinqing responded with a smile, stood up and said to his family: "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, happy new year everyone, I'm leaving first, bye!"

My aunt said, "Can't we go tomorrow? Mom is worried about you driving at night."

"Mom, if I don't go over tonight, I won't be able to start work tomorrow. My assistant and driver will come to pick me up, so don't worry." After Ruan Qinqing finished speaking, he hurried out the door, with the whole family following behind to see him off.

When they got to the car, the assistant and the driver put Ruan Qinqing's luggage away. Ruan Qinqing turned to look at his family and said, "Let's go back. Happy New Year!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Happy New Year, drive slowly on the road, and have a safe journey!"

Watching the car slowly start, Lu Youning waved until the car completely disappeared from sight.

"Being a celebrity is really hard. Even having a reunion dinner is a rush."

Ruan Fuxi gently put his arm around Lu Youning's shoulders and softly agreed, "Yes, but Third Sister loves acting. She must be enjoying herself for working so hard for something she loves."

Lu Youning nodded slightly, "Only if you truly love it can you persevere."

Ruan Fuxi took her hand, interlocking their fingers. "Let's go home."

This area is considered a wealthy area and fireworks are not allowed, so it seems a bit quiet.

Fortunately, the Ruan family is large, and the whole family sat in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala, and the atmosphere was still lively.

The elders sat in the middle of the sofa with kind and satisfied smiles on their faces. From time to time, they commented on the Spring Festival Gala programs and recalled the interesting things they had experienced when watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year in the past.

Lu Youning was sitting on a single sofa, sending New Year greetings to her friends.

Ruan Fuxi sat next to her on the armrest of the sofa, picked up the grapes on the table and fed them to Lu Youning's mouth.

Lu Youning took it and opened her mouth, the sweet water spreading in her mouth, "Mmm, so sweet, you should eat it too."

Ruan Fuxi shook his head. He didn’t like eating fruit very much.

Lu Youning ate a few pills and stopped eating because his dinner was still in his stomach and he hadn't digested it yet.

Halfway through the Spring Festival Gala, my grandparents couldn't bear it anymore and went back to their room to rest.

Uncle and Mr. Ruan also went to the study to discuss things, and the others followed suit and went out to play or returned to their rooms.

Ruan Fuxi took Lu Youning to say hello to Ms. Liao and her aunt, then returned to the room.

Ruan Fuxi opened the door of her room and turned on the light, "Come in, Ningning."

Lu Youning stepped inside and subconsciously looked around the room. "Your room is quite similar to the one in L City. Both are very simple, but this one is a bit bigger."

Ruan Fuxi smiled and said, "Well, I still prefer this simple style. It's more comfortable to look at."

He took Lu Youning's hand and pulled her to sit on the bed. "I'm pretty tired today. Sit here and rest for a while. I'll go take a shower."

After saying that, Ruan Fuxi opened the wardrobe, took out the clothes, turned and went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom.

Lu Youning's attention was attracted by the certificates and trophies in the bookcase, so he walked over and took a closer look.

There are academic awards and achievements in various competitions.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room. Lu Youning opened the door and saw Ms. Liao standing at the door.

"Auntie."

Ms. Liao smiled kindly and said, "Ningning, there are several sets of clothes and pajamas in Fu Xi's closet. They were all bought by your eldest cousin's wife. I was afraid you didn't know, so I came here to tell you."

Lu Youning smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"Why are you being so polite to Auntie? We're all family. If you need anything, just tell Fu Xi directly. Then Auntie won't disturb you from resting."

"Okay, bye, Auntie!" Lu Youning said obediently.

After Ms. Liao left, Lu Youning gently closed the door.

He turned around and walked to the wardrobe, slowly opened the door, and sure enough, he saw several sets of women's clothes inside, all of which looked quite exquisite in style.

Not long after, Ruan Fuxi finished his shower and came out of the bathroom.

While wiping his hair with a towel, he said to Lu Youning, "Ningning, go wash up too. Go to bed early after you're done."

Lu Youning responded softly with "hmm", then picked up the clothes placed aside and walked towards the bathroom.

After a while, Lu Youning came out of the shower. She was wearing a suspender nightgown with a matching robe on the outside. She exuded a unique kind of laziness and gentleness.

Ruan Fuxi was sitting on the bed, flipping through her phone. When she heard the noise, she looked up and was stunned for a moment. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. "Is this a new pair of pajamas? I haven't seen you wear them before."

"No, this was bought by my cousin's wife. It's in the closet over there."

Ruan Fuxi lifted the quilt and patted the bed. Come up quickly, "I turned on the air conditioner. Is it still cold?"

Lu Youning walked over obediently and lay down in the quilt. "It's not cold. I just took a shower and it's very warm."

Ruan Fuxi smoothed the hair around her mouth and said, "You've been tired all day. Go to sleep if you're tired."

Lu Youning turned sideways and put her arms around his waist. "It's okay. I want to wait until midnight to say New Year's greetings to you before going to bed."

After hearing what she said, Ruan Fuxi threw his phone aside, then put his arm around her waist and said, "It's too boring to just wait. Let's do something meaningful."

As he said that, he wanted to kiss him, but Lu Youning put her hands on his chest and whispered, "No, not that..."

"Yes." Ruan Fuxi answered simply and neatly.

"No, you wouldn't carry this with you, would you?" Lu Youning was a little surprised.

"I bought it before and have kept it in my bag." Ruan Fuxi didn't give her a chance to hesitate. He hugged her tightly again and kissed her directly.

Ruan Fuxi kissed all the way down, gently picked up the belt of the nightgown with his fingers, gently pushed the nightgown aside, revealing the delicate collarbone, and then followed with dense kisses.

Just as Ruan Fuxi was about to go in, Lu Youning's cell phone rang. It was the alarm clock that had been set for midnight.

Lu Youning wanted to turn it off, but Ruan Fuxi raised his hand above her head. She whispered, "Let me turn off the alarm."

The sound of fireworks came from the distance.

Ruan Fuxi reached out and pressed his head, then leaned over and kissed her lips, "Wife, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Lu Youning responded.

“May you be happy every year!”
