With so many people gathered in the Qin family for the new year, the atmosphere was naturally very lively. After lunch, everyone organised a group to start entertainment activities. The men played Go and chess next to them, and the women’s family members gathered together for a table of mahjong. Xiao Han couldn’t play mahjong, but Zhou Lan wanted to teach him, so he had to play with his godmother.
Zhou Lan asked Xiao Han to sit at the mahjong table and play cards. She was beside her as a trusted adviser, patiently teaching Xiao Han the rules of mahjong: “Cakes, myriads, strings, and three consecutive numbers of the same suit are put together to form a deck of cards, such as one, two, three myriads, four, five, six strings…”
The rules were a bit complicated, but Xiao Han still listened carefully, taking notes as he listened.
His skill in playing cards was rookie level, but he was very lucky today. The first he got ‘Ready Hand’ and after a round, he got ‘Self-picked’; the second was simply ‘Heavenly Hand’!
Zhou Lan’s face blossomed with joy and patted Xiao Han’s shoulder and said, “Come on, win more lucky money today.”
Xiao Han immediately nodded, “Okay, all the money I won belongs to godmother.”
Seeing this happy scene, Qin Mo came over and asked, “Xiao Han, how much did you lose?”
Xiao Han opened a small drawer full of banknotes. He pointed to a stack of banknotes and said, “I’ve been winning. I’ve won hundreds.”
“Only you?” Qin Mo couldn’t believe it.
“Thanks to godmother’s assistance.” Xiao Han replied.
Several aunts next to him couldn’t help complaining. “Xiao Han sits in the position of God of Wealth today, and he got ‘Ready Hand’ cards directly after several rounds.”
“That’s right, he drew ‘Self-picked’ several times. All three of us were losers, and Xiao Han won alone.”
“I think it’s a mixed-race boy with a clever head. He can learn such a complicated mahjong after just a few hands.”
Zhou Lan grinned from ear to ear. “Xiao Han is really talented. We can train him in the future. He will come to our house for the Spring Festival next year and help his godmother play mahjong!”
Xiao Han smiled and nodded. “No problem!”
Qin Mo didn’t expect that Xiao Han could coax the elders so happily.
The embarrassing scene he expected didn’t appear, but Xiao Han quickly became familiar with the elders of the Qin family, making everyone laugh frequently.
Qin Mo didn’t like playing mahjong, so he had to turn around and walk away.

Qin Ye was eating melon seeds by himself in the dining room. Seeing him coming, he waved and said, “Let’s talk.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He took Qin Mo to the balcony on the second floor and closed the door conveniently. Then he said, “You accepted Xiao Han’s proposal. Do you love him?”

Qin Mo lowered his head and didn’t speak. Obviously, he didn’t prepare so much.
Qin Ye patted his nephew’s shoulder and said, “You’re still young. I guess you accepted it when you were moved, and you didn’t think about anything else carefully. But Xiao Mo, you have to ask your heart, do you love him very much? Does it have to be him? Would you like to spend the rest of your life with this person?”
Qin Mo was silent for a long time before saying, “I-I really want to be with him.”
Qin Ye raised his eyebrow. “Are you sure? The kind that will be together for the rest of your life?”
Qin Mo nodded. “En. I have known Xiao Han for such a long time, only when I am with Xiao Han will I feel particularly at ease. I will never meet someone who makes me feel at ease like Xiao Han in my life, so when he proposed at that time, I agreed without thinking too much.”
Looking at the serious look on his face, Qin Ye sighed softly in his heart.
It seemed that Xiao Mo had already sunk deeply. He didn’t know what magic this b*stard Xiao Han used, which made Xiao Mo so determined.
Qin Ye still worried and asked, “How far is your relationship going? Already gone to bed?”
Qin Mo: “……”
Why are you all so direct? Cat god gave him material on the hard disk, and uncle asked him face to face if he had gone to bed??
Qin Mo’s ears were instantly red, and replied awkwardly. “Not-not yet.”
Qin Ye was stunned. “Why are you so innocent? Getting engaged without going to bed? You don’t think you just need to hold hands after getting married, right?”
Qin Mo’s head was about to fall to his chest.
Qin Ye said with a smile. “Two stupid children, I have never seen you play platonic like this, and you are still in a hurry to get engaged.”
Qin Mo: “……”
Are they really too slow? That’s why they were ridiculed by his master, cat god and uncle?
Qin Mo awkwardly looked away and said, “We-we will find a chance to try.”
Qin Ye seems to be laughing. “Forget it, you might as well wait after getting married to do wedding night, just like those conservative couples in ancient times.”
Qin Mo: “……”
Qin Ye rubbed his temples with a headache and said, “Xiao Mo, when two people are together, there are many factors to consider, and whether it is harmonious or not is also an important indicator. Xiao Han grew up abroad. I think he must have come into contact with a lot of things in this respect, but you should not be too shy. Adults should really take the initiative to understand this knowledge.”
Qin Mo didn’t dare to speak, but hung his head obediently, just like a student who was criticized for doing something wrong.
When Qin Ye remembered his cowardice when he was a child, he couldn’t help feeling soft. He gently rubbed his head and said, “Think about it.”
Qin Mo was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Uncle, don’t you object to me being with Xiao Han?”
Qin Ye exhaled gently and said, “I wasn’t very happy that you were engaged so soon, but Li Xiang has been persuading me just now, saying that if you two love each other, it is natural that you can’t help but to get engaged. If I step in, I will become a villain.”
He touched his chin for a moment and said, “I think it’s right, it’s mainly your way of thinking. As long as you really love Xiao Han and are willing to be with Xiao Han, of course I will not deliberately separate you. But as a senior, I still have to remind you that people who are already engaged, don’t be so shy and innocent, okay? Understand everything that needs to be understood and let go.”
“Oh…” Qin Mo nodded his head seriously.
“I have some materials here, do you want them?” Qin Ye asked.
Qin Mo waved his hand awkwardly. “No-no need, cat god has given me a lot, I haven’t had time to watch…”
Qin Ye was stunned and then laughed. “You see, so many people are worrying about you. Don’t put on a serious face coldly all day long, and you don’t understand anything in your heart. When you get to bed, you will be absolutely eaten with no bones left by Xiao Han. Hurry up, study the materials, don’t be too passive.”
Qin Mo: “……”
Where is the implication? He suddenly misses the word ‘implication’!
***
So, this afternoon, Qin Ye had filled up a lot of knowledge to his little nephew.
Including how to use props, how both men could be comfortable…
Qin Mo refreshed his world view, staying in the room to study, as if sitting on pins and needles.
It wasn’t until Xiao Han came and asked them to have dinner that Qin Mo ran downstairs flushed.
A large round table was set up for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and more than 20 people sat down around the round table. The scene was quite spectacular.
Grandfather Qin took the lead in speaking, saying a few blessings such as ‘Happy New Year, Great Luck, Great Profit’, and everyone toasted and had a lively New Year’s Eve dinner.
After eating, the elders began to give out red envelopes. According to Qin family’s rules, anyone who wasn’t married could get red envelopes, and those who were married would give out red envelopes. The red envelopes were all written with blessings. Xiao Han, who everyone thought was a ‘single youth’, was also fortunate to get several red envelopes.
Qin Ye handed the two red envelopes to Xiao Han and Qin Mo respectively, and said faintly, “Happy New Year. You should not be able to get this red envelope next year.”
His meaning was obvious: if you two get married next year, married people will not get red envelopes.
Xiao Han turned the red envelope over and saw a sentence written on it in meaningful handwriting: “Cherish the person in front of you, and wish you grow old together.”
It seemed that god Ye didn’t intend to make it difficult for them.
Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Thank you god Ye.”
Qin Ye came over and whispered, “In Dragon Song club in the future, we will cross paths regularly, give it a try if you dare to bully our family Xiao Mo?”
Xiao Han quickly waved his hand. “Don’t dare, don’t dare! It’s too late for me to hold him in the palm of my hand and protect him. How can I be willing to bully him?”
Qin Ye smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s good enough.”
After the New year’s Eve dinner, everyone got together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and complained at the same time. Even if the party was boring, no one dared to go to bed early. Everyone stayed on until 00:00 in the morning. The bell of the New Year sounded outside the window, countless gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the air, and the house was filled with laughter. Everyone said Happy New year to each other, and it was the first time that Xiao Han felt such a strong flavor of the New Year.
Grandfather Qin went back to the house and went to sleep. Others who lived nearby drove home, like Qin Mo’s family who came from afar. They arranged to live in Qin family’s villa.
Xiao Han and Qin Mo shared a room, and Zhou Lan brought them new bedding and asked them to go to bed early.
Qin Mo thought of the knowledge that uncle gave himself today. Looking at Xiao Han’s chest half exposed after changing into his pajamas, his heart felt a little itchy. Uncle was right, he was already an adult. There was no need to be so shy. Thinking of this, Qin Mo boldly went to Xiao Han and said, “Xiao Han, I-I want to kiss you.”
Xiao Han: “???”
Xiao Han was stunned by a word.
When Qin looked at him in a daze, his ears turned red instantly, and he rolled his eyes. “Is it necessary to be so shocked?”
Xiao Han smiled, reached out and gently hugged Qin Mo’s waist, approached his ear and said, “No, it’s just unexpected. I like Xiao Mo who is active, come on, kiss, I stand still and you can kiss.”
After he said that, he really didn’t move anymore. He looked at Qin Mo with a smile and pursed his mouth.
Qin Mo blushed, dared to take the initiative to stand on tiptoe and gently kissed Xiao Han’s purposely pursed lips.
Xiao Han’s heart was melting with sweetness.
I don’t know who enlightened Xiao Mo and made him so active? He will surely pack a big red envelope later!
Qin Mo taking the initiative is so damn cute 😩❤️
