Chapter 1018: Chapter 1015: The Most Romantic Thing

Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo were in high spirits, exchanging drinks back and forth.

Fortunately, the wine Yuan uncle had brought had a low alcohol content. Besides the first couple of cups they downed at the beginning, they then proceeded to sip slowly.

Tong Xiaohua and her mother were too lazy to persuade the two men, so after finishing their meal, they grabbed a blanket and snuggled up on the sofa to watch the New Year’s Gala.

While the living room was filled with singing and dancing, the dining room was bursting with laughter. The four of them were indeed in high spirits, setting aside the various frustrations of the past few days.

"Xiao Hua, did Physician Dong say you went to see him?"

The mother and daughter were sitting close together, covered with a blanket, feeling warm and comfortable.

Tong Xiaohua’s mother had poor health; even under a blanket, her feet were still a bit cold.

Tong Xiaohua spontaneously stretched her own feet over her mother’s to try and warm them.

"Yes, Yan Bo’s mother was ill, pneumonia, quite severe. I went to see Physician Dong to ask him to prescribe some Chinese medicine to help nurture her lungs and restore her health."

This matter, Tong Xiaohua had never intended to hide from her mother. However, unless her mother asked, she certainly wouldn’t have brought it up on her own.

Tong Xiaohua’s mother reached out from under the blanket, her cool palm touching Tong Xiaohua’s face.

"You and Xiao Yan, have you really thought it through?"

Tong Xiaohua shifted her gaze back from the television, "Mom, no matter what happens, I will never leave him!"

During the days Yan Bo had been unreachable, Tong Xiaohua experienced for the first time the torment and agony of feeling worse than death. This ordeal had confirmed that she and Yan Bo were inseparable!

"What about his parents..."

Tong Xiaohua’s mother hesitated, her loving gaze resting on her daughter’s face.

"Mom, his parents’ attitude is indeed very upsetting and heartbreaking. But these feelings are trivial compared to the thought of losing him."

Tong Xiaohua’s mother sighed deeply, "Since you both have thought this through, your dad and I have no right to stop you. Your dad spoke harshly tonight, all in all, it was for your own good."

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "I know, Dad is afraid that I would waste my youth following him without any formal commitment, that’s why he spoke so harshly to Yan Bo. Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry!"

After all, which parents do not love their children?

Even those like Yan Bo’s parents, Tong Xiaohua understood that they also acted out of love for Yan Bo, employing such harsh measures to try to separate them.

They believed that being with her, Yan Bo wouldn’t find happiness and would be dragged down instead.

She knew they were wrong, but she couldn’t convince them with words.

She could only do so with her actions, gradually letting time prove them wrong.

She, Tong Xiaohua, would not only not hold Yan Bo back, but also would not let him suffer disgrace. Instead, she would support Yan Bo through thick and thin, overcoming all obstacles to reach the peak of life!

If she can’t achieve these short-term goals, she was prepared to take five years, ten years, or even longer to make them believe.

The mother and daughter chatted sporadically in the living room. Meanwhile, in the dining room, the two grandpas’ spirits rose even higher as they drank more.

As the clock neared eleven o’clock, Tong Xiaohua peeped at the dining room, where her father and Yan Bo were still arm in arm, talking about something.

"Mom, let dad sleep in the guest room tonight, so his alcohol breath doesn’t bother you!"

Tong Xiaohua couldn’t be bothered to persuade them, because she knew persuasion was futile. So, she simply had her mom get mentally prepared to have Uncle Yuan throw Dad directly into the next room.

Mom hadn’t responded yet when a loud voice came from behind her.

"You cheeky girl, you actually encouraged your mom to isolate me? If I had known you were this naughty, I wouldn’t have shown any mercy and would have just gotten Xiao Yan completely drunk!"

Tong Xiaohua turned her head, only to see Dad and Yan Bo shoulder to shoulder, walking out looking completely sober.

"Not drinking anymore? Have you decided the winner?"

Tong Xiaohua stayed wrapped in the blanket without moving, only tilting her eyes to watch as the two tall men approached.

The two men withdrew their arms from each other’s shoulders and Yan Bo stepped forward to sit down next to Tong Xiaohua.

"We’ve stopped drinking, we’re going to set off fireworks."

Tong Xiaohua pinched her nose and turned her face away, giving him a disdainful glance.

"You stink, you can still go set off fireworks like that?"

Yan Bo leaned closer, mischievously blew a breath at her, directly forcing Tong Xiaohua to retreat next to her mom.

"I’m not drunk, don’t believe me, ask Uncle Tong. None of us is drunk. Uncle Tong will accompany Aunt Tong in the countdown, and I will accompany you to set off fireworks."

Tong Xiaohua shrank back into the quilts and pouted, "I’m not going, it’s too cold!"

Yan Bo stood up and walked toward the end of the corridor.

Soon, he came back with two thick coats. He stood by the Sofa, unfolding one of the coats for Tong Xiaohua.

"Come here, you won’t be cold with this on."

Tong Xiaohua scornfully glanced at the coat, "It’s as big as a quilt, I’ll look like I’m wrapped in a zongzi, how can I set off fireworks?"

Yan Bo stood still, "I’ll do it, you just watch!"

Tong Xiaohua was still hesitant, but then Yan Bo added, "I bought many types of fireworks, not just various flowers, but also different zodiac animals, are you sure you don’t want to see?"

Tong Xiaohua was somewhat tempted. To be honest, she had only ever set off big firecrackers with the Tong Family brothers since childhood; she had never really set off fireworks. She had seen it a lot on Television, but if she remembered correctly, the only real fireworks had been put on once by the Sports Center in L City a few years ago. She had watched from afar but was deeply amazed then.

Thinking her daughter was hesitating, Mom nudged her with her elbow, "Go on, it’s rare for Xiao Yan to be so romantic and thoughtful. Unlike your dad, that rough man, who only knows how to countdown with me every year."

Dad had already moved next to Mom. Naturally, he felt indignant being belittled by his wife.

"Hey, who says I don’t understand romance? Isn’t there a song that goes like this, ’The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you slowly...’ See, we’ve been counting down together from when you were twenty until now, nearly fifty, for so many years. Isn’t this type of romance something these young kids can compare with just by setting off fireworks and giving flowers?"

Mom looked up at Dad, both of their faces already lined with fine wrinkles. But those lines, were not filled with the sorrows and hardships of time, but rather the happiness and joy they had strived for over the years.

"Alright, my mistake, isn’t that enough?" Mom’s tone became incredibly tender.

Tong Xiaohua was still lounging in the quilt, but now, she couldn’t lie still any longer and sprung out of bed, bouncing in front of Yan Bo.

"Let’s go, let’s set off the fireworks!"

With that, she swung her hands in front of Yan Bo.
