After getting in the car, Lin Nanxing called his mother and said he wanted to take a classmate home.

Ms. Zhuang asked straight to the point: "Is that your roommate?"

Lin Nanxing responded and explained: "Yes, he will be alone on New Year's Day."

Ms. Zhuang has been famous for this roommate for a long time. Besides Wen Jue, he is the person her son talks about most.

Recently, she mentioned it even more frequently than Wen Jue. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Aunt Chen to clean up the guest room."

"Have you guys gotten in the car yet?"

"Well, there's a bit of a traffic jam, so I'll probably arrive late."

Lin Nanxing and Ms. Zhuang chatted calmly, while Hodel half-closed his eyes and gradually became nervous.

He is not very sociable and does not want to leave a bad impression on the little troublemaker's family.

After struggling to recall the etiquette from an unknown number of years ago, Hodel took out his cell phone and searched online for meeting parents.

The signal is too poor, and the webpage has not been refreshed for a long time.

He frowned and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

"By the way, does Hodel have any taboos?"

Lin Nanxing opened his mouth, but it was all taboo food and there was no need to eat.

He turned his head and glanced at Hodel, wondering what excuse he should make.

Feeling the gaze, Hodel raised his eyelids, thinking that Lin Nanxing wanted to speak on his own.

He stared at the call interface on his phone, hesitated for a moment, and shouted slowly: "Hello, Auntie."

Hodel's voice was pleasant, and his tone was a little shy. Ms. Zhuang couldn't help laughing: "Hello, hello."

Seeing the nervousness written all over his face, Lin Nanxing also smiled, patted his hand reassuringly, and said to Ms. Zhuang: "He and I ate a lot at school, so we shouldn't have much for dinner..."

Lin Nanxing held Hodel's hand while listening to Ms. Zhuang's words.

Hodel looked at his round and lovely fingertips and slowly relaxed.

The next day was New Year's Day, and the streets were busy with traffic in the evening. The drive that usually took less than half an hour took a full hour today.

It wasn't until he got off the car that Hodel refreshed his previous search results.

[What should I pay attention to when meeting parents?]

[Bring gifts, don’t worry about this, you must bring them...]

Hodel paused and frowned: "I didn't bring a gift."

He only carried a book bag to show off his clothes.

After thinking about the shopping mall he just passed by, Hodel said to Lin Nanxing: "I'll go buy it now."

You should be able to run over in time.

"It's okay," Lin Nanxing smiled helplessly, "No need for gifts."

"Then I'll ask Jian Zhixuan to deliver it." Hodel pursed his lips, took out his cell phone and was about to call Jian Zhixuan.

Lin Nanxing snatched his cell phone and pulled him into the house.

There are only three generations of the Lin family, and there are no relatives. Today's meal consists of Lin Nanxing, mom, dad, grandpa, and including Hodel, there are only five people.

It wasn't the big family dinner that Hodel imagined, it was just an ordinary family meal.

The three parents are all good people and know what kind of attitude can make guests feel comfortable. This is the first time that Lin Nanxing brings friends home for dinner. They behave more and more kindly and do not ask Hodel some personal questions alone.

Instead, they chatted about their school life so that Hodel could participate.

"I heard that the school's New Year's Day is very grand this time?"

"Well, it's quite beautiful."

"Didn't you perform on stage?"

"You don't need to perform in your senior year of high school."

…………

Lin Nanxing said on the phone that the two of them had eaten a lot, and Ms. Zhuang did not keep picking up food for them. Hodel took two bites willingly, and when Lin Nanxing finished eating, he also put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Mr. Lin was watching a costume drama recently. When the time came, he stopped eating and walked to the living room to watch TV.

"Stupid! I haven't even heard of "Nine Peaks of Snow"!

Lin Nanxing felt like an arrow had been hit in his knee, but he didn't know it either.

He wasn't very interested in antique calligraphy and painting, and didn't know much about it. He only knew that this painting should be a famous painting based on its name.

Lin Nanxing asked Hodel in a low voice: "Do you know?"

Hodel nodded: "Huang Gongwang's painting."

Speaking of painters, Lin Nanxing knew it and suddenly said: "He is the creator of "Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains"."

Hodel: "Nine peaks are nine famous Taoist mountains in Songjiang, Jiangnan, Phoenix Mountain..."

Mr. Lin heard the conversation between the two and glanced at Hodel. He was a little surprised. He could explain it in such detail. He must not have heard it before.

He asked: "Do you like these?"

"There was a time when I liked it."

Hodel told the truth that conditions in ancient times were limited and he could only cultivate a few interests and hobbies.

Mr. Lin's impression of him suddenly became high. Most children of this age are obsessed with games, and very few like Chinese painting.

Mr. Lin felt that he and the young people had a common topic: "Why don't you like it now?"

"It's not that I don't like it," Hodel shook his head, "It's just that I'm not as addicted as before."

There are too many temptations in modern society.

Mr. Lin smiled: "I was obsessed with games when I was young. I bet on paintings with my friends, but we didn't get a single authentic painting. If I were at my current age, seventy years old, I might have the other half of my foot.

Into a coffin."

Mr. Lin is gray-haired, but his spirit is better than many young people, his mind is open, and he doesn't mind making fun of himself.

Seventy years old.

Hodel was stunned for a moment, not even a fraction of his own age.

He said from the bottom of his heart and very sincerely: "You are still very young."

Everyone likes to be praised for their youth. Mr. Lin laughed happily for a while and chatted with Hodel for a long time.

Ms. Zhuang came over with cut fruits. Seeing that they were chatting happily, she did not interrupt and said to Lin Nanxing: "The guest room has been tidied up. There are new pajamas and towels in the closet. You can tell me later."

Lin Nanxing nodded and listened to his grandfather and Hodel chatting about things he didn't know. He could never find a chance to talk to Hodel.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Mr. Lin was so sleepy that he said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. Let's talk tomorrow."

Mr. Lin nodded: "Okay, then I'll sleep here for the night."

"Xiao Huo, can you play chess?"

Lin Nanxing turned his head to look at them. After chatting for a while, Tian turned into Xiao Huo?

Hodel responded: "I know a little bit."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about a few games tomorrow."

Lin Nanxing was also sleepy at this point. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door to the guest room: "You sleep in this room. My room is next door."

"The pajamas and towels are in the closet."

Lin Nanxing yawned and waved, "Good night."

Hearing this familiar farewell, Hodel bent his index finger, leaned down, kissed Lin Nanxing on the cheek.

After touching the other person's soft and tender cheek, Hodel's heart trembled and he was stunned for a moment. He just kissed Lin Nanxing's face without moving.

Lin Nanxing was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hodel to be so proactive.

After waiting for a while, he felt Hodel's body getting stiffer and stiffer, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Haven't you kissed enough?"

"Enough, enough."

Hodel's mind went blank, and he straightened up stiffly: "Good night, good night."

After saying that, he strode into the guest room and closed the door hard.

"boom--"

The door lock turned 90 degrees, hung on the door, shook, and hit Lin Nanxing's feet.

This scene seems familiar.

Lin Nanxing looked down for a while, remembering the first day he met Hodel in the dormitory.

Also like this……

Could it be that Hoddle was not angry that day, but nervous and shy?

The next morning, when Lin Nanxing got up, Hodel was already playing chess with Mr. Lin.

Lin Nanxing clicked on Ms. Kaizhuang's WeChat account while eating breakfast.

[Your father has an impromptu meeting, so we set off early. 】

[Aunt Chen is on vacation these two days, so you can prepare your own lunch.]
