<Countdown to a new spring>
X year, 30 January
Weather: Sunny
When I was leaving for work today morning, that guy complained about my messy hair and said that I looked very unspirited with it and insisted on helping me style my hair. I looked at the time and agreed as it was still early.
I foolishly thought that since that guy was in the fashion industry, the hairstyles he came up with wouldn’t be that bad. But reality has proved that I just can’t understand the beauty standards in the fashion circle.
QAQ Where is the handsome hairstyle that you promised me?!
Looking in the mirror, I really thought I became a pineapple. Is he purposely messing with me? Or did his inspiration come from pineapples?
I told him to quickly change my hairstyle back to before, I really didn’t have time to play with him early in the morning, I still had to rush to work. But this guy actually genuinely thought that this hairstyle was handsome! Explosively handsome!
Emmmmmmm I really don’t know if it’s handsome or not, but I know for sure that I’m about to explode. Wearing this kind of hairstyle to work, I will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone. QAQ

Chinese New Year is approaching soon, Wu Yunfei said that he wanted to decorate the house a bit to have some festive vibes. I didn’t have any special ideas, I will be going back to my parents’ house during Chinese New Year anyway, so even if we decorated the house super nicely, it would still be empty.
“What if you are working during the festival? At least when you come back home, you can still be comforted by some of the warmth of the festival.” He laughed.
QAQ Okay ba, I will actually be working then too…
But, looking at the fiery red decorations on every corner of our house, wouldn’t one feel even more miserable?!
Every citizen in the country is celebrating Chinese New Year, and I’m the only one forced to work o(TヘTo)
That guy saw that I was sad and he smiled, saying that he can accompany me, so I wouldn’t feel too lonely. Ha ha, am I the kind of person that would let myself feel lonely? Are the animes not nice to watch or the games not fun to play! Would I be so sad that I need his company?
Moreover, even if I really wanted him to accompany me, that guy probably won’t have any free time either. His family would have obviously planned all kinds of blind dates for him, given that he only returns home during the new year.
He doesn’t even have enough time to meet girls, how could he have time to accompany this miserable slave to society?
Knowing that this guy would be dating soon, I felt weirdly melancholic. I’m not sure why, but I actually secretly wished that he wouldn’t be able to find any suitable partner forever.
Hai… It must be because I’ve been single for too long, my heart has become darker.

When I came home today, that guy Wu Yunfei had already finished decorating our room. Not only were there new year couplets on our door, but our entire house became a sea of red colour. Honestly, if I didn’t know we were celebrating Chinese New Year, I would’ve thought that guy was setting up a bridal chamber for me.

I’m really skeptical of what those buyers of his drawing designs were thinking.
That guy is capable of designing fashionable and luxurious clothes? They most likely look lame ba!
“You don’t like it?” He seemed a little disappointed.
I didn’t want him to feel bad while celebrating the new year, so I reluctantly nodded and said, “It’s not bad”.
Hai… Anyway I wouldn’t be staying here for long during the new year, I just have to bear with this for a while.
“Only not bad?” He didn’t look very satisfied from my perfunctory answer.
“Not bad means quite good already, I don’t usually speak so highly other’s work.” I said while loosening my tie.
I was really not lying, everyone in the company knows that I’m very strict, I’m usually in charge of the final approval for most projects. Normally, when I say ‘Not bad’, it means ‘Very good’ to others, while ‘Average’ means ‘Not bad’… It’s not that I wanted to be this strict, but it’s mainly because I would be forced to work overtime endlessly if they make too many mistakes. OTZ
“Working as an employee is indeed painful ah.” He pursed his lips, “ If it was me, I would give the employee who came up with such a design a perfect!”
“This is perfect for you? Your requirements are really low ah.” I teased.
“Your standards are too high. New year celebrations are supposed to be super lame and tacky, if you celebrate too luxuriously, you wouldn’t fit in.” He said seriously.
Okay ba, I can’t say much now, as long as he likes it.
I went back to my room after dinner and was planning to take a look at the emails I received today. But the moment I opened the door, I saw a big box on my bed. The way it was wrapped was as tacky as the decorations outside.
Obviously, that guy Wu Yunfei was the one who put it here.
I asked him to take it away, but he said it’s his new year gift for me.
I was a bit curious, but definitely not excited. The wrapping was so ugly, there definitely wouldn’t be some exquisite item inside. As expected, I opened the gift and saw a set of flaming red Long Johns underwear.
I didn’t know what kind of expression I made, but that guy saw me and his body shook with laughter, looking like he was about to have a seizure.
“It’s not even the year of my zodiac sign, why are you giving me this?” I held up the red underwear while asking.
I tried my best to keep my expression serious so that this guy would understand that my mood was very bad from receiving such a gift.
“Last year I bought a set of outerwear for you, but I forgot to buy you some long johns, making up for you this year.” He smiled, “Don’t worry, anyway you’re wearing it inside, no one can see it.”
“And what if someone saw it?” I instinctively argued back.
He stood there dumbfounded, and after a moment, he laughed. “So you like taking off your clothes and showing others your red long johns ah! You better not bring this kind of embarrassing hobby outside, just do it at home for me to see.”
Who the heck would have this kind of hobby (╬▔皿▔) I’m just scared that someone would accidentally see the ends and cause an unnecessary misunderstanding!
“Look how suitable this is ah, you’re already an old man, and yet people still think you’re a twenty four year old young fresh meat.” He shrugged his shoulders while forcing his fallacious and illogical words onto me.
→_→ I’ve just turned twenty five, how am I considered an old man?
In comparison to him, who’s turning thirty soon, he should be the old man ba!
Not happy…
X year, 2 February
Weather: Hazy
It’s Saturday today, most of the staff whose hometowns are not here have already gone home, leaving the entire office empty.
I glanced at the financial statement report in my hand, but couldn’t calm down enough to focus on work, so I whipped out my phone to chat with that sand sculpture.
At this moment, His Excellency my father came to spot check. QAQ
I swear I was seriously doing my work the entire day and only just started to use my phone!
Alas, in every parent’s eyes, if they find you playing with your phone during their spot check, it means that you have not done anything productive for the whole day. Even if they see that you are working hard (working or studying), they will still believe that you are just faking it because you heard their footsteps nearby.
I silently put down my phone and pretend to be calm while asking what he’s here for. My father stared at my phone with a profound expression and told me to stop pretending to be busy and talk to him for a while.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Am I pretending? I’m really very busy!
Just that I’m a little more free now that the new year festival is approaching soon!
But I could only say this in my heart, upon hearing His Excellency my father’s summon, I obediently stood next to him in an instant.
“Sit ba.” He gave me a side glance and said, “You’re already so tall, do you want me to keep raising my head to look at you?”
His Excellency bestowed me a seat, how could I dare to not sit?
But I hadn’t even managed to sit properly when my father’s words shocked me so much that I almost fell to the floor.
“Were you chatting with your girlfriend just now? When will you bring her home for us to see?” He asked.
QUQ Which pair of eyes did he use to see that I have a girlfriend?!
Everyday I sleep later than a dog, wake up earlier than a chicken, where do I find the time to date?
Dating with a fairy maiden in my dreams ah?!
Speaking of fairy maidens, I suddenly thought of that sand sculpture’s heavenly maiden and couldn’t help but smile
However, in His excellency my father’s eyes, my smile is solid proof that I’m dating.
“You don’t have to worry too much. No matter what her family background is like, as long as she’s a decent girl from a respectable family and you like her alot, there’s no problem at all.” He said.
I quickly clarified that I was not dating at all and that I’ve been living with that guy Wu Yunfei so I was only sending a message to him just now.
“Really?” His excellency my father asked.
He seemed to be very sure that I only moved out so I had my own house to keep a woman, and didn’t believe at all that I was living with Wu Yunfei.
“I’m serious!” I said, “if you don’t believe me, I can video call Wu Yunfei right now.”
He saw that I didn’t look like I was lying, and sighed rather ruefully. “Both of you brothers are really not anxious at all, don’t tell me you are planning to live like this and be single for the rest of your life?”
QAQ I really don’t want to be single, but His Excellency my father, you have to give me the time to date ah!
I indirectly hinted that I wanted a holiday, and yet my father said that I couldn’t even find a girlfriend, even if I had free time I would be wasting it away, so it’s better for me to focus on my work. (Ｔ▽Ｔ) Single dogs have no rights to holidays mah? This is obviously labour exploitation!
And he’s seriously underestimating his son’s charm ba? As long as I have enough free time, I can easily find a girlfriend to date within minutes. Speaking of it, whenever I attend cocktail parties, everyone has a female companion and I’m always the only one standing alone and casting a lonely shadow. I even have to tolerate my own father’s mocking and taunting.
QAQ He always asks me why I still couldn’t find a girlfriend even when I moved into my own flat.
Emmmmm I didn’t move out so I can conveniently sleep with girls, I just wanted some private space!
If he ever asks me again, I will just get that guy Wu Yunfei to dress as a girl and be my female companion. →_→ Anyway that guy isn’t ugly, he may even look good if he dresses up a little.
His Excellency? Well well well..😂
Thanks for the translation, really made my day~ 人´∀｀)
After reading all of this I have only one expression :Hehehehe
Idbfisbfkdbdid did he even realise he called it their house instead of just his?
+1
Wu Yunfei is actually older by 5 years? I thought they were the same age because he don’t act like a 30 year old 😭
Thanks for the chapter ☺️
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
The way he morphed from “get Outta my house” to “our house, our room” is absolutely ridiculous.
thanks for the chapter <3
