Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

"Shit! Why did you tell Auntie we're not friends?!" The big hamster on the other end of the phone angrily demanded an explanation.

Xie Jin wiped the sweat from her brow: "Oh dear, don't make things worse. They're not asking about friends."

ε=( o｀ω′)ノ "What do you mean we're not friends! I clearly heard 'friends'!"

The big hamster grunted and squeaked, "Are you going to tell me or not?!"

"Ahem, they're asking about dating..."

"What does 'having a boyfriend/girlfriend' mean?!"

"......"

"It's that kind of relationship... a little better than just friends..."

ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ "Aren't we a little closer than ordinary friends?! You've forgotten who borrowed money from you! You're heartless, ungrateful, and a rotten wretch!"

Xie Jin coughed slightly: "A little bit better than a good friend..."

ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ "That's a really good friend, isn't it! You tell me!"

"Something a little better than this."

The hamster's curiosity and anger levels rose a little higher. "What's that?"

"You know, those kinds of men and women..."

Before Xie Jin could finish speaking, the hamster suddenly realized what was happening, its face turned red, steam began to rise from its head, and it started stammering.

"Pah! You stupid... stupid dog, you're not allowed to say that anymore, you're absolutely... audacious..."

"I didn't say that. You asked, and I immediately explained that we're not..."

.......

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

The hamster was inexplicably a little irritable.

Even if it isn't true, you don't need to explain so quickly! What do you mean? Am I that bad?

Do I need an explanation?! Why is it so fast?!

(￢︿̫̿￢☆)！！ The hamster is furious!!

He shouted very loudly, "It's okay!"

"Something must be wrong. Why are you angry when you're perfectly fine?"

ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ「I didn’t!」

"You coward, you can't even comfort a girl..."

屮! ! ! !

Dad, where did you suddenly appear from?! Why were you so quiet behind me?! How could a grown man like you be eavesdropping?!

"Da, what are you doing!" Xie Jin quickly hid her phone behind her back and blindly pressed the hang-up button.

But it seems... I pressed the wrong button...

Seeing his son's suspicious behavior, Old Xie sensed something was wrong.

"Ahem, I heard from your aunties that you're dating someone. Talking on the phone with a girl? That's great news, why didn't you tell me?"

"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm on the phone with a colleague, we're discussing work."

The hamster got angrier and angrier as it listened.

Colleague? Colleague? We're not even friends anymore??

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!!!

Girlfriend? You wish! You think you can just try to test the horns of my invincible Iron Bull?!

Old Xie wasn't sure if his son was telling the truth: "Really a colleague? Don't try to fool our ancestors."

"Really...really, just an ordinary colleague, the very ordinary kind."

ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ！ ！ Liar!! Spit out my instant noodles!!

Old Xie's expectant gaze immediately cooled: "Since you don't have a girlfriend, I'll arrange everything for you to go on blind dates in Taiyuan after the New Year."

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ! ! Dad, you are crazy! !

"Dad, I think we can discuss this further. I'm still in school."

"It won't delay anything. We can get to know each other first, and then get married after graduation."

..........

"Dad, I'm quite busy with work."

"What, can't you actors find partners? Who's not busy?"

"No, that's not it."

"So you have a girlfriend? Are you trying to fool your old man?"

"no....."

Old Xie frowned: "You... don't like girls?"

"Dad!! What are you talking about?!"

"Then it's settled. You'll go to Taiyuan for a blind date after the New Year. Now go and find a pig; you're the one slaughtering it this year."

"Me? I'll kill?"

"Well, I'm fifty. All the old men in the village, even the young ones, are a decade older than me. Who do you plan to have kill me?"

Xie Jin thought she had hung up the phone, but the hamster listened to the whole thing. After the other end of the line went silent, the hamster hung up the phone.

········

········

Xie Jin was exhausted from slaughtering the pig. He was so startled when he missed the first cut that the pig ran around the yard with the slaughtering knife stuck in its neck.

Half an hour later, under Lao Xie's command, the male knife finally solo killed Zhu Bajie.

In the evening, the villagers, young and old, all sat in the old granary of the threshing ground.

The meatball hot pot was bubbling and steaming.

One oily dish after another was served, and the old men smoked cigarettes and sipped their wine, sharing their hopes for the coming year.

The children ran around wildly with snacks and candies, and the adults wanted to spank them but couldn't because it was Chinese New Year.

The television set in the convenience store was moved over and an antenna was mounted on it.

Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, and Li Yong took turns hosting, making the Spring Festival Gala a lively affair.

"Can I still board your wrecked ship with this old ticket?"

The skit made young and old laugh out loud, and not long after, Xie Jin saw Jielun on TV.

This was his first time on the Spring Festival Gala, and his performance of "Dragon Fist" was truly explosive.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Xie Jin gave red envelopes to the children and the elderly, toasted them, and then went inside.

When I opened my phone, it was flooded with messages, from classmates and friends I had worked with.

Gu Renlong: "Happy New Year, Lao Xie! May we have an even better year ahead!"

Ning Hao: "How many times have we met up back then?"

Huang Bo: "......."

Xie Jin replied to each and every message with great care. Not long after, Jie Lun called.

The little prince coughed twice but didn't say anything, waiting for Xie Jin to praise him.

"Wow, that's great! You sang the best, you're amazing!"

Jielun cannot be praised, especially by Xie Jin.

The moment he heard the compliment, a smile immediately appeared on his lips. "Ahem, you...you really think you're the best?"

"Of course, that's the best!"

The little princess was incredibly haughty: "It's...it's alright...but...not as good as you say. I'll write a song for you next year if you're on the Spring Festival Gala."

Why are you being so arrogant and haughty...?

"Wow, what kind of treatment am I getting? Jay Chou is rushing to write a song for me?"

"Get lost, Happy New Year, thank you, dog."

Happy New Year, little princess!

········

········

After replying to all her friends, Xie Jin thought for a moment and then called the hamster.

I called three times in a row but no one answered...

What happened and they went crazy?

......

Inside Liu's restaurant, the nanny was cleaning up the mess.

"Huh? Why is the wine cabinet open? Wait a minute... Has Madam been drinking?"

The nanny didn't dare ask, and Liu Xiaoli called out to her daughter while carrying a plate of fruit.

"Akane Akane"

The big hamster was swaying back and forth in the bedroom, asking, "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Are you staying up to welcome the New Year today? You can go to bed a little later."

"No, Mom, I'm so sleepy."

Liu Xiaoli shrugged, finding it rare for her eldest daughter to know how to go to bed early and get up early: "Okay, then you go to sleep."

.........

In the bedroom, Liu Yifei turned on two small lights. In front of her were a plate of shrimp chips, a plate of crispy noodles, and a plate of ham sausages.

"Ahem, let me say a few words first, Captain Huang. The first toast is to you for your diligent work guarding the house."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu dripped a few drops of the stolen Moutai into Captain Huang's small bowl, and Captain Huang even gently tapped the small bowl twice with his front paw.

"Dry!"

The big hamster took a small cup and gulped down a whole cup.

Spicy's little face scrunched up instantly, revealing where her esophagus and stomach were, and she stuck out her tongue, fanning herself.

"Spicy, spicy, spicy! I don't understand what's so good about this!"

"Captain Huang is raising fish."

........

"Captain Huang, this second toast is to you for your hard work stealing snacks! You're my best friend! That dung beetle isn't!"

Glug...

··········

··········

The nights in the village were colder than she had imagined, and Xie Jin woke up from the cold.

I just woke up, went to the bathroom, and came back.

Buzz

Xie Jin looked at the clock and wondered, "Who could it be at three in the morning?"

"Xie Jin, you've wronged me! Get out of here!"
