Chapter 106 New Year’s Eve

Celebrating the New Year in a hotel is considered normal for some actors.

Of course, several floors of the hotel were booked by the crew, to be precise, they celebrated the Chinese New Year.

However, the crew of "New Police Story" is different. Most of them are from Hong Kong. Today is New Year's Eve and the crew has not started work yet, so everyone will naturally go home.

Including Cheng Long, including Chen Musheng and other members of the directing team, this is the case.

There may be some crew members and actors who did not go home and stayed in the hotel, but for the floor where the protagonists such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei live, there are only three of them, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli.

As the sun sets in the west, only the afterglow remains.

The doors of the suite where Chu Xuan lives and the suite where Liu Yifei lives across the street are all pasted with couplets. According to Xiangjiang people, pasting couplets is also called pasting Huichun.

On the top of the door, a big red lantern was hung high, and the faint light in the lantern was dim.

This small light is not as good as the dim light in the hotel corridor, but it is more festive and can also create a New Year atmosphere.

In the living room of the suite where Liu Yifei was located, the three of them were looking through the menu and preparing to call to order.

"This [Poon Choi] is a must-try. I heard that every household in Xiangjiang eats it during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing family reunion." Liu Xiaoli pointed.

"[Fat Choi Oyster Sauce], you will get rich next year." Chu Xuan ordered a dish.

"I want to eat [rice cake], which symbolizes promotion every year." Liu Yifei blinked.

"Eat less, you will get fat easily." Chu Xuan said with a smile.

Liu Yifei bulged her eyes, and when her mother wasn't paying attention, she reached out and pinched Chu Xuan.

The three of them then ordered another dish, and that was about it.

After all, there are only a few people, so if you order too much, you won’t be able to finish it all.

It's right in the hotel, and you can always add more food if it's not enough.

However, before Liu Xiaoli was about to call to order, Chu Xuan glanced at the menu and said: "Auntie, can you give me a bottle of white wine?"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, ready to laugh.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "Auntie brought four bottles of red wine. She said she would treat you to a nice drink today. What kind of wine would you like?"

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Auntie, actually during the Chinese New Year, we don't need to drink. It's good to have a good time."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled happily.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Chu Xuan and said, "How can you be happy without drinking?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "Then you mean, drinking with auntie will make you unhappy."

Chu Xuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, as if he was killed by Liu Xiaoli's words.

Chu Xuan stood up, waved his hand and said, "Auntie, I don't mean that."

Liu Yifei watched Chu Xuan bickering with her mother. She felt extremely funny, and the smile on her face never faded from the beginning.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "Then drink, if you don't want to drink red wine..."

Liu Xiaoli lowered her head and glanced at the wine menu, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xuan: "Except for liquor, you can choose whatever you like on this menu."

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "I'd rather drink red wine."

Seeing Chu Xuan compromise, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.

While waiting for the food, the three people's phones suddenly started ringing.

For Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei, it was natural for their family to call and congratulate each other on the New Year.

For Chu Xuan, only Wang Jinhua, Yang Tianzhen, Hu Jun, Li Sheng and other close people in the circle called to wish him well, while others such as Lin Zhiying, Cheng Hao, Liu Tao, Lin Xinru and others just sent text messages.

In the content of the text message, there are sets of blessing words, and the blessing idioms are not repeated.

It looks so cultured, and it looks like it was copied and pasted in a group.

However, being able to send group text messages and include him also shows that these people still remember me.

In other words, with his current popularity, it is worthy of them to send text messages to get close to him.

No matter what, since the text messages were sent, he naturally wanted to reply to one.

In order to add some interest, Chu Xuan used punctuation marks between the words to splice expressions one after another. It looks very fashionable in this era and will definitely make people's eyes shine.

Sure enough, a letter came from a friend.

Lin Xinru: "Chu Xuan, you still know how to play, it's so fun!"

Liu Tao: "Okay, save it."

Cheng Hao: "Sister copied it."

Jiang Xin: "Wow, you can still play like this!"

Su Chang: "I want to forward it, there is no charge, right?"

Facing the replies from his friends, Chu Xuan also smiled and ignored them.

After processing the text messages, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei also finished their phone calls.

At the same time, the waiter also served the dishes.

The three of them sat down at the table, and Liu Xiaoli opened a bottle of red wine.

What surprised Chu Xuan was that Liu Yifei also picked up a bottle of wine.

"You drink too?"

"wine."

Liu Yifei blinked at Chu Xuan.

"It's okay to drink during the Chinese New Year." Liu Xiaoli said.

Chu Xuan nodded, turned around, walked to the TV, turned it on, and said, "It's almost 8 o'clock. Even if you don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, you can still feel the atmosphere when you listen to the sound."

"Indeed." Liu Xiaoli poured the wine and said, "Come on, let's eat."

Chu Xuan sat back on the chair, and when he saw Liu Xiaoli preparing to serve the wine, Chu Xuan also reached out and picked up the wine glass.

But Liu Yifei glanced at the TV, smiled and said: "There are still 2 minutes of countdown to the Spring Festival Gala. Can we drink together when the countdown is over?"

Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli looked at each other, and naturally they would not refuse Liu Yifei's proposal.

The countdown in the upper right corner of the TV is slowly decreasing.

When the countdown ended, the TV screen turned and the cheerful music of the "Spring Festival Overture" symphony sounded. The three of them raised their smiles and raised their glasses at the same time and clinked them in the middle of the dining table.

"Happy Chinese New Year! Good luck!"

Accompanied by the festive New Year greetings from the four hosts Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, and Li Yong, Liu Xiaoli raised her glass again before Chu Xuan could finish his meal: "Chu Xuan, Auntie respects you."

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you respect me, aunt?"

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Without you giving Auntie some advice, Sissi wouldn't have been able to get this role, so Auntie would like to thank you."

Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "Auntie, we had a drink last time, and this matter has been over."

Liu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and said: "Have you passed? Well, Auntie respects you, there is no reason."

Suddenly, Liu Yifei, who was eating her food, burst into laughter.

Chu Xuan sighed, raised his glass and said, "Auntie, I respect you."

"Done." Liu Xiaoli said, minding her own business and drank it all in one gulp.

Chu Xuan was startled for a moment, and then he pursed his lips bitterly. He had no choice but to swallow.

However, just a few minutes later, Chu Xuan took a few bites of vegetables to fill his stomach.

Liu Xiaoli picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile: "Chu Xuan, we can come to Xiangjiang together, and you and Xixi have joined the same crew again. This is fate. Come, for the sake of fate, have a drink."

Chu Xuan put down his chopsticks, helplessly held his forehead and said, "Auntie, can you take a rest?"

Liu Yifei laughed so hard on the sidelines that she thought this scene was too funny.

Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything, she just kept looking at Chu Xuan with a smile in her eyes while holding the wine glass.

Chu Xuan had no choice but to raise his glass and touch it with Liu Xiaoli, then drank it all in one gulp.

However, only five minutes passed.

Liu Xiaoli took a bite of her food, put her chopsticks down on the bowl, picked up the red wine glass, and said: "Chu Xuan, Auntie and Xixi rarely spend the New Year outside. This time we go out to celebrate the New Year and spend it with you.

This is really a fate within a fate. Come, have a drink for the fate within a fate."

Chu Xuan's face froze as he lowered his head to eat the food. He raised his head and said, dumbfounded: "Auntie, don't be like this, it's only 8:10, can you let me watch "Spring Festival Gala" a few more times?"

After saying this, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei laughed a few times at the same time.

"Let's finish this glass of wine." Liu Xiaoli put her left hand on the dining table and supported her chin with her palm. She raised the wine glass with her right hand and stretched it towards Chu Xuan. Although she had a smile on her face, she looked like she couldn't do anything without drinking.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan looked like he was about to cry without tears. He took a long breath, drank the wine in one gulp, and said: "Auntie, just drink enough for the New Year. I don't think there is any need to get me drunk. It's very uncomfortable."
