Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao was obviously very used to this situation. There was no surprise in her eyes.
However, because it was New Year’s Eve, Gu Xiao didn’t want to waste her precious time on the bed. Hence, she ignored Chu An, who was still sleeping, and reached out to move his arm.
With Gu Xiao’s hard work, she finally managed to shift Chu An’s arm from her waist a little. Chu An directly exerted strength in his arms and pressed Gu Xiao into his arms again.
Chu An clearly used the same kind of shower gel as her, but when this shower gel was used on Chu An, it seemed to smell a little different from hers.
The scent on Chu An’s body was more reserved. It was a scent unique to Chu An.
Gu Xiao buried herself in Chu An’s arms and felt Chu An’s aura for a while.
Seeing that Chu An still didn’t move, she couldn’t help but reach out and push Chu An.
“Since you’re awake, let go of me. It’s time to get up.”
As soon as Gu Xiao finished speaking, Chu An opened his eyes and quietly looked at Gu Xiao. There was no trace of bleariness from just waking up in his eyes. Clearly, he had been awake for a while.
Chu An looked into Gu Xiao’s eyes for a while and seemed to be tempted. He lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on Gu Xiao’s forehead. novelbuddy .com
“It’s still early. We can sleep a little longer.”
There was a hint of hoarseness in Chu An’s voice. Even though Gu Xiao had heard Chu An’s waking voice countless times before, every time she heard it, Gu Xiao still felt her heart skip a beat with a hint of joy.
However, in the face of Chu An’s temptation, Gu Xiao still insisted on her idea.
“No, I want to getup.”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An narrowed his eyes. Almost embarrassed, he lowered his head and rubbed against Gu Xiao’s neck.
After rubbing his hair until it was sticking up, Chu An reluctantly let go of Gu Xiao and let her get up.
He sat up on the bed and looked at Gu Xiao, who had already gotten out of bed and was about to go to the bathroom. “There aren’t so many rules in our family. Even if we wake up later, there won’t be any problem,” he muttered.
Seeing Gu Xiao walk straight to the bathroom without looking back, although Chu An still wanted to sleep, it was really meaningless to sleep alone. He could only get up from the bed.
After the two of them washed up and came out of the bathroom, Gu Xiao walked ahead and suddenly turned to look at Chu An.
“Where are the clothes Auntie prepared for us?”
Mr Chu and Mrs Chu seemed to be following the customs of previous New Years. Everyone had to have a new set of clothes during the New Year, even if a lot of the contents in their wardrobe was new clothes.
Chu An also stopped in his tracks. “It’s in the wardrobe in the room. Are you planning to wear it now?”
New clothes were usually worn on the first day of the Lunar New Year. However, if Gu Xiao wanted to wear them today, he would not say anything. Instead, he would accompany Gu Xiao to wear new clothes.
Gu Xiao shook her head. “I’m just asking. I want to confirm that the new clothes are ready.”
Actually, after confirming her relationship with Chu An, Mrs Chu would also prepare something for her every New Year. It was just that she felt that it was a little inappropriate previously, so she had never spent the New Year in the Chu residence.
It was always Chu An who went back to accompany her for another celebration of New Year after he had celebrated New Year at the Chu residence.
This time, she was celebrating the new year with the Chu family. To Gu Xiao, the meaning was different, so she subconsciously paid more attention to this matter.
Chu An looked at Gu Xiao’s back, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
Although Gu Xiao looked nervous, he knew that she was happy.
It seemed that asking Mr Chu and Mrs Chu to invite Gu Xiao to the Chu residence for the new year was a very correct decision.
After Gu Xiao and Chu An were done preparing, they went downstairs together.
Mr Chu and Mrs Chu, who were already downstairs, were stunned for a moment when they saw Gu Xiao and Chu An.
Mrs Chu looked at Gu Xiao with a smile and a gentle expression. “Xiaoxiao, why didn’t you sleep a little longer? We have to stay up late tonight. If you don’t sleep a little more in the morning, what will you do at night??”
When Gu Xiao saw Mrs Chu waving at her, she sat down beside her. As for Chu An, it was fine as long as there was a place for him to sit.
“I couldn’t fall asleep either, so 1 got up directly.”
When Mrs Chu heard this, she smiled and did not continue to dwell on this issue. She changed the topic. “Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? Breakfast isn’t ready yet. You can eat some snacks to fill your stomach.”
On New Year’s Day, the chefs in the Chu residnce were all on holiday. Only the Chu family would cook themselves. Only after Mrs Chu woke up, would preparations for breakfast begin.
However, the chefs had prepared these snacks before they left, so there was no lack of snacks.
