The final exam of S University was relatively early, and when he finished the exams of all courses, Lu Yuqing hadn't had a holiday yet.

Of course, it's one aspect that their company is stricter.

Although it is said that everything will be fine if you get a pass in the university, but Tao Lan is a person who wants to get a scholarship. Of course, the higher the score, the better, and the better the grade point.

However, after the exam, he still felt relieved. Tao Lan had overestimated the score, and he would definitely not fail the exam anyway.

Lu Yuqing and his company finally confirmed the holidays. The interns are relatively relaxed, and the holidays are relatively longer.

Tao Lan tentatively asked Lu Yuqing about going home for the New Year.

"Well, I must go back." Lu Yuqing said.

Tao Lan said softly when he heard the words, lowered his eyes slightly thoughtful, felt a little lost, and didn't see him again for a while, just like last year, he stayed alone in this room for the New Year.

Watching TV or something in the living room with Douzi... seems a bit stupid.

Tao Lan was still in a daze silently, but he didn't realize that Lu Yuqing had been looking at him for a long time.

"Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year with me this year?" Lu Yuqing asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Tao Lan was a little stunned, and slowly came back to his senses, his face could not hide the shock, "Ah!?"

Lu Yuqing imitated Tao Lan's small expression and tilted his head slightly, humming lightly, with a hint of rhetorical questioning in his tone.

"You, your family?" Tao Lan was still in constant shock, stuttering, and even began to wonder if it was because he didn't wear a hearing aid that he misheard, "But, but I...isn't that good? "

Lu Yuqing rubbed his hair affectionately, and asked, "What's wrong, tell my parents, it's just a matter of buying an extra ticket."

Realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Tao Lan quickly waved his hands to explain: "It's not because of this, it's because of my identity."

Lu Yuqing continued to be puzzled: "What's wrong with your identity?"

"I'm afraid your parents think I'm weird... I still go to your house during Chinese New Year." Tao Lan lowered his head and said awkwardly.

Lu Yuqing smiled helplessly: "It's not so particular. It's normal to bring friends back to celebrate the New Year. It's only because of a good relationship."

"I just think it's really deserted to let you stay here alone for the New Year this year." Lu Yuqing's eyes were slightly curved, and his eyes were also very gentle. "My parents are very easy to get along with. I have an older brother and A sister, my brother is married and moved out, my sister is studying in country D, but she will come back during the Chinese New Year."

Tao Lan blinked, showing that he was listening to him carefully.But this is the first time that Lu Yuqing mentioned his family affairs to himself...

"Brother Lu, so you are the youngest in the family?" Tao Lan seemed to have grasped the point.

"Yes." Lu Yuqing thought for a while, and then added, "But my sister is only two years older than me, and she is far behind my brother."

Tao Lan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice again, and began to worry again.Seeing so many people all at once, and they were all Brother Lu's family members, he would definitely be nervous to death.

-------------------------------------

Lu Yuqing also booked an air ticket for Tao Lan, packed some luggage, and left Dou Zi in a reliable pet store before he left.

This is also the first time for Tao Lan to fly on a plane. He is both excited and apprehensive, because he was bored a while ago and he just finished watching Reaper on his iPad...

Tao Lan doesn't have much luggage, a schoolbag and a small suitcase are enough to fill it up.

The short trip takes about two hours.

As soon as she got off the plane, Tao Lan regretted not wearing more clothes to keep warm. Even though she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, she couldn't help sneezing.

The sky is white, the ground is also white, and the whole city is wrapped in plain snow and chilly.

Tao Lan followed Lu Yuqing obediently and wanted to wait for him to take a taxi. Although he wore a mask to keep warm, his face was still flushed from the cold.

Unexpectedly, a black car stopped in front of the two of them, and Lu Yuqing skillfully took Tao Lan's luggage and put them in the trunk together.

The driver was a kind-hearted middle-aged man. When Tao Lan sat in, he obediently called uncle hello.

It turned out that this was Lu Yuqing's family's car, and the driver was also his family's driver...

After actually arriving at Lu Yuqing's house, Tao Lan was still shocked by how well the greenery in this community was done.It seems that this should be a villa area, the environment is very good and quiet, just like Tao Lan said with emotion, the greening and so on are also done very well.

When standing at the door of his house, Tao Lan was still a little nervous and apprehensive. Even though it was so cold, his palms wearing woolen gloves were still slightly sweaty.

Lu Yuqing stood beside him, patted his shoulder reassuringly, and said in a low voice, "Go in."

Tao Lan subconsciously shrank his shoulders, then nodded slowly.

-------------------------------------

On the first day at Lu Yuqing's house, Tao Lan didn't see his older brothers and sisters, but Lu Yuqing's parents.He hid behind Lu Yuqing and said hello timidly, calling uncle and aunt politely.

Obviously, it was because Lu Yuqing had greeted her in advance, so the Lu family couple didn't reveal their surprise when they saw Lu Yuqing leading their friends home.But mother Lu still couldn't hold back her eyes for a moment after seeing Tao Lan.

Those eyes were very familiar, as if Lu Yuqing saw Tao Lan for the first time.

Tao Lan slightly lowered his eyes, like a mirror in his heart, maybe just like Lu Yuqing said, at first glance he and Qi Ran really look alike.

Tao Lan's cautiousness lasted throughout the dinner and after-dinner snacks. He was a little too cautious, and he didn't move his chopsticks much.He still ate the pears Lu's mother gave him.

The Lu family villa has a guest room specially reserved for guests. After the aunt cleaned it up, she helped Tao Lan push the luggage into it.

Lu Yuqing also seemed to see Tao Lan's nervousness and apprehension, and took him back to the guest room with his shoulders.

Lu Yuqing pulled away the chair that matched the desk in the guest room, and pressed Tao Lan's shoulder to let him sit down.

"Why are you so nervous?" Lu Yuqing put his hand on Tao Lan's forehead, and found that the palm of his hand felt cold, "My parents don't eat people."

Tao Lan nodded.

Of course his parents don't know how to eat people, on the contrary they are very gentle and polite, but Tao Lan is still subconsciously nervous, even he himself doesn't understand why he is like this.

"I'm, I'm just not used to it..." Tao Lan pursed her lips and explained in a low voice.

"I understand, my family is still very strange to you." Lu Yuqing rubbed his black and soft hair again, and said with a low laugh, "It will be fine if you get used to it. My family is not difficult to get along with."

The bed sheets in the guest room are designed with fresh daisies and blue and white checks, which match the warm atmosphere of the whole bedroom, but no one lives there, and there is a cold fragrance in the room.

But it is much, much better than the small attic where Tao Lan lived in his uncle's house.

Tao Lan still remembers how hard it was to live in the small attic in winter. During the Chinese New Year, there were laughter and laughter downstairs, and noisy voices came from the narrow opening, while he read and wrote in the small attic alone in the cold winter and hot summer. .

I don't know why Tao Lan suddenly had the urge to cry, and a little redness gradually appeared at the end of his eyes. Fortunately, the light in the room was warmer, but he couldn't tell.

-------------------------------------

After Tao Lan washed up in the bathroom, she changed into her pajamas and went back to her room to sleep.The whole room is warm, and it can be said that it is as cold as the outside.

But it's still very early, and it seems that I can't sleep now...

Just as he was thinking wildly, the door was knocked lightly.

Tao Lan trotted over to open the door with his slippers on, only to see Lu Yuqing holding two cans of ice-cola in his hand, standing in front of Tao Lan in a light-colored home dress, his superior height made him look taller and taller.

"Would you like to go to my room and have a look." Lu Yuqing said and handed Tao Lan a can of ice cola in his hand.

Tao Lan nodded obediently after taking the Coke.

He is worried about nothing to do...

The layout of the first floor of Lu Yuqing's house is mainly the living room, kitchen, and nanny's room. The second floor is designed with two guest rooms, a reception room and a storage room. The third floor is the master bedroom, and Lu Yuqing's room is also on the third floor. .It is said that the fourth floor is designed with an attic, one room is reserved for Lu Yuqing's sister's bedroom, and the other is Lu's father's study.

Lu Yuqing's bedroom is very large, with its own separate bathroom and a separate small study room. The clean and refreshing design style of the whole room is quite different from the desktop computer with extraordinarily luxurious peripherals.

But the whole row of bookcases at the back also showed Lu Yuqing's essence of being a top student.Instead of choosing an open bookcase, he installed a glass door instead, which is really much cleaner.

Unlike Tao Lan, many of the books that have been piled up on the small desk are yellowed and old.

Tao Lan looked at Lu Yuqing's computer in a little surprise, thinking silently, Lu Yuqing probably is the kind of person who is good at reading and playing games.That's why self-control is so good...

After reading Lu Yuqing's computer, Tao Lan lingered in front of his bookcase again.

Lu Yuqing saw that Tao Lan was very interested in his study, so he generously said that he could look at it casually.

The books in the bookcase are very miscellaneous, ranging from great literary works to small comic books.Tao Lan opened the glass door of the bookcase, selected a book that looked particularly out of place, and pulled it out.

The extremely girly cover, the extremely dreamy color scheme, and the extremely cute beautiful girl characters.

This is actually a comic about magical girls... If I remember correctly, Tao Lan had seen this magical girl cartoon on TV when he was a child.
