Kang Daqiao looked at this and that, and finally said, "It's fine. If the noodles are spilled, then it's fine. I'll just clean it up."
After saying that, she picked up the basin and looked at the messy panel that had been ruined by the two of them. There were some small animals made of noodles on it. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she quietly packed up those small animals, then took them to the kitchen to steam them.
After Kang Daqiao left, Lu Yichen's expression was still very bad. He looked at Kang Xiaoqiao grinding his teeth while Kang Xiaoqiao sat cross-legged with her chin in her hands. She looked like a little person who had succeeded in her evil scheme. It was infuriating.
The happy time always passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 30th day of the Lunar New Year.
During the Lunar New Year, whether it was children or adults, they were all very happy because this day meant that they had to wear new clothes.
It was brand new from the beginning to the end.
On this day, Kang Xiaoqiao woke up unusually early. After she was dressed from the beginning to the end, she quietly walked to Lu Yichen's door and coughed a few times.
"Cough cough, cough cough. Happy New Year. Um, are you up yet? I'm coming in!"
Lu Yichen's hearing was exceptionally good. He knew from the moment Kang Xiaoqiao woke up. Then, he heard her walking towards his room.
Lu Yichen frowned. Before he could say anything, the door opened. Then, he saw Kang Xiaoqiao's sneaky smile.
However, when she saw Lu Yichen, who was dressed neatly and sitting there, she was stunned. She asked in surprise, "Why are you up so early?"
"It's only, it's only--"
Then, she hurriedly looked at her watch. "It's only five o'clock. It's only five o'clock and you're already up?"
Lu Yichen looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, "Happy New Year."
Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips with a slightly disappointed look in her eyes. Then, she stretched out her hand and pushed the items forward. "Then, New Year's present!"
Lu Yichen was stunned. New Year's present? At this moment, a few thin clothes fell into his hands.
Looking at the few new clothes in his hands, Lu Yichen did not know why, but his nose actually felt a little sour.
How many years had it been? How many years had it been since he had worn new clothes during the New Year?
His memories were slowly being stretched.
A naughty little boy kept jumping and bouncing on the bed. He didn't seem to be honest at all.
As he jumped, he shouted, "New clothes, new clothes--"
A very beautiful woman beside him always had a smile in her eyes. She looked at him gently and said, "Chenchen, don't jump anymore. Quickly put on your clothes. It's cold in the morning. You should be sick."
"Chenchen, be good. In a while, you still have to kowtow to your grandparents."
When the little boy heard this, he obediently sat in the beautiful woman's arms. He pouted and said, "I don't want to kowtow to grandma. I hate her--"
When the beautiful woman heard this, her face turned stiff. She quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, if your father hears you, you will get beaten up again."
The little boy was very unconvinced. He pouted and sulked. The beautiful woman said gently, "Chenchen, be good. From now on, Mommy will make new clothes for you every year, okay?"
...
Lu Yichen was holding the new clothes in his hand. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated. In the end, he muttered in his heart, "We agreed that you would make new clothes for me every year."
"We agreed--"
However, no one responded to him. The only things that could respond to him were the cold wind blowing from outside and Kang Xiaoqiao's pair of big eyes.
Lu Yichen caressed the cotton autumn clothes in his hand one after another. Kang Xiaoqiao looked at him with a strange expression. However, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Kang Xiaoqiao had no idea what he was thinking. Instead, she smiled and said in an unusually straightforward voice, "You don't have to be so polite with me. If you want to thank me, you have to treat me better in the future. No, you have to be super nice."
"Hehe, well, it's the New Year. I know that your department can only wear military uniforms, so I made you a long johns. Take a look. Do you like it?"
"This is my first time making a long johns. This material is very soft. I've chosen it for a long time and it has been washed clean. Smell it. It's very fragrant. I made it myself with laundry detergent. It has the smell of the sun."
"Smell it. Smell it--"
Then, Kang Xiaoqiao raised her head and giggled. Her eyes were bright like the stars in the sky. Then, she delivered the clothes to Lu Yichen's nose.
"It smells good, right?"
"Yichen, how about I make you new clothes every year from now on?"
"Aren't you very touched? Touched, right? Humph, I don't make clothes for just anyone. You're the only one. You should cherish your good fortune."
"Alright, I'll leave first. Don't be too touched--"
After saying that, she made a face and ran away. Lu Yichen just watched her leave and didn't do anything else.
Lu Yichen touched them as his eyes slowly became gentler. Then, he muttered, "I hope you won't lie to me. We agreed that you would make new clothes for me every year."
After feeling sad, Lu Yichen quickly plugged the door and started to change into the long johns that Kang Xiaoqiao had made.
But, cough cough, why was there a small one here?
Lu Yichen picked up the small boxers with a complicated expression. He thought of Kang Xiaoqiao's sneaky expression and understood at that moment. This girl, really, really...
Lu Yichen didn't know how to describe her, but his face started to burn for no reason, and his ears burned the most.
This little girl would tease him whenever she had nothing to do. After teasing him, she would run away. Even when she gave him gifts, she didn't take the usual route.
Lu Yichen took a deep breath and started to take off his clothes. Then, he quickly changed into it. He didn't expect that it would really fit him. It was also comfortable to wear. Most importantly, this style was also good-looking. It could display all of his qualities. Cough cough--
Then, he picked up the long johns. This fabric was indeed very comfortable. It was soft and slippery to wear, but the workmanship was slightly worse. Some parts of it were sewn askew.
When she used the sewing machine to smash it, she didn't walk in a straight line. The sleeves were also a little short. Fortunately, they could fit. It was probably this girl's first time making them, so it was difficult for her.
However, what Lu Yichen didn't know was that this was the best piece Kang Xiaoqiao had made. Kang Daqiao had been teaching her hand in hand, so she didn't feel bad for her. She had wasted a lot of fabric.
At this moment, Kang Daqiao was making breakfast while Kang Xiaoqiao was washing up. When Lu Yichen got dressed and walked out of the room, he saw Kang Xiaoqiao standing in front of the big mirror and applying something on her face.
Seeing that Lu Yichen had left, she immediately ran over with a smile and said, "How is it? How is it? Is it suitable for you?"
"Hey, tell me about yourself. You're a man. Why did you lock the door after changing your clothes?"
"I'm done. You have to let me take a look at it, right? I've been doing this for a long time. I've also made a set for myself. This can be considered a couple's outfit."
When Lu Yichen heard Kang Xiaoqiao say that she had a set for herself, his face instantly turned even redder.
