After returning home, Zhen Shan did not hide anything from the elders in the family and told them everything exactly.

The three elders were startled, and Lan Mu even said, "Blessed by Bodhisattva, it will be alright if nothing happens, it will be fine if nothing happens."

"How is Fugui's wound?" Zhen's father asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Lan Yu smiled and shook his head.

"Fortunately, I have you to protect Shanshan. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhen Shan's red lips twitched slightly, but she didn't deny it.

"This is what I should do," Lan Yu straightened his back and almost patted his chest to promise that with him here, Zhen Shan would never be hurt.

But thinking of his wife's lethality, he still felt embarrassed to say this.

"What's the point? If he doesn't protect Shanshan and comes back, his arm is not injured, I will just break it for him," Lan's father said matter-of-factly.

Lan Yu: "..." biological father?

"Yes, wealth is a man. If he cannot protect the good, I, as a mother, will look down on him," Lan Mu agreed.

Lan Yu: "..." Mother?

Zhen Shan chuckled.

Lan Yu saw that her smile was as bright as a flower, and the white plum blossoms were blooming like clear snow. The only stunning thing among the plain colors of heaven and earth made his eyes blur. It was the most beautiful color in his life.

He smiled softly, the breeze was gentle and the affection was harmonious.

Zhen Shan's eyes softened, not because of his affection, but because of the harmonious and happy family in front of her.

Although Lan Fugui is a great person, without him, the family would not be complete, and the parents of the Lan family would be even more heartbroken and miserable.

How could it be like now, even though the appearance is getting older year by year, the features and eyes are relaxed and peaceful.

…

When eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve, in previous years it was Lan Yu’s dumplings, but this year, Lan Yu took all the dumplings.

On a whim, Zhen Shan suddenly felt that her cooking skills might be able to save her. Full of hope, she volunteered to help make dumplings.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on the back of Lan Yu's head. Although he had never seen her blow up the kitchen, for some reason, the alarm kept ringing.

However, Lan Yu didn't have the guts to object. With him watching from the side, he shouldn't really blow up the kitchen, right?

Then……

"Shanshan, you can't put so much water into the dough!"

Lan Yu looked at the flour that had turned into paste, and his thin lips twitched slightly.

Zhen Shan felt guilty for a moment, and then said, "You didn't tell me earlier."

He didn't know she was so "vigorous" and poured a whole spoonful of water into the basin.

"What now?"

"...Bring the flour over there and mix it in."

"oh."

puff!

Two flour men freshly baked.

Zhen Shan asked how much flour to pour this time, but when she tore open the bag, she accidentally used too much force and the whole bag of flour was torn open by her.

Lan Yu moved his eyes, and the flour on his eyebrows fell rustlingly. He said with difficulty: "Shanshan, the flour went into the basin, not on us."

Zhen Shan: "..."

"Mistake, cough, cough," the flour went into her mouth, and she couldn't help but cough a few times.

Lan Yu suppressed his laughter and raised his hand to help her sweep the flour off her head and face, "How about you go wash up first and I'll make the dumplings."

Zhen Shan glared at him, "You think I can't do it?"

"No, it's just that the New Year is here, so it's hard not to have a kitchen to cook and eat."

Zhen Shan: "..."

"How about you just watch here and I'll do the rest?" Lan Yu was worried about hurting her, so he changed his suggestion.

Zhen Shanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand, sprinkled the flour on his head, clapped her hands gracefully, and walked out.

Lan Yu was stunned, then smiled fondly.

Shan Shan, who has always been dignified and polite, turns out to have such a childish side.

He shook his head, wiped himself with the surviving cloth, and continued kneading the bread and dumplings.

Just looking at the kitchen that was blowing like a tornado made Lan Yu feel a little stressed.

When my mother sees it later, she won’t break his legs, right?

From now on, I will try my best to persuade others to come to the kitchen.

…

They stayed up late on New Year's Eve, but the only ones who really stayed up late were Zhen Shan and Lan Yu. Zhen's father and the others were old and too tired to stay up all night.

Zhen Shan was wearing a beige cheongsam and a white coat, and she didn't feel cold even while sitting in the room.

Shanhai Village is located in a subtropical region, where winters are wet and cold, but it doesn't freeze to the bone.

"Eat a bowl of sugar water," Lan Yu placed a bowl of lotus seed soup in front of her and said softly.

Zhen Shan nodded, "Thank you."

"Would you like to play cards?"

Lan Yu picked up a deck of playing cards and asked.

Zhen Shan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Betting on money? It's boring, let's bet on slaps."

"... Shanshan, we are playing cards, not fighting."

What is palm gambling?

Did Shanshan just want to slap him?

Then if he wins, he won't be able to do it, and he won't have the courage to do it.

"Otherwise, what's the point of playing around?"

"How about one plate and one condition?"

"Any conditions are acceptable?"

Lan Yu smiled fondly and nodded.

There is nothing else he can't promise her.

But someone is still too young.

"Are you sure? Is it okay to let you run naked?" Zhen Shan asked curiously.

Lan Yu: "..."

Shanshan, can we be friendly?

Immediately, he lowered his eyes and blushed slightly, "Shanshan, this is okay. I have no problem with it in your room, but forget it outside. It will have a bad impact on society."

If she were willing, he would lose every game.

Zhen Shan: "..."

Is she rare?

This stinks and is shameless.

Seeing her glaring at him, Lan Yu smiled softly and suggested, "Shan Shan, let's just make some reasonable demands?"

Zhen Shan snorted coldly and had no objection.

However, the empress, who had always considered herself an expert at playing cards, threw herself into the street in the first game.

"Lan Fugui, did you cheat?"

Lan Yu was innocent, "Shanshan, I dealt the cards in front of you."

"Bring the cards, I'll be the banker in the next round."

"oh."

Then, Zhen Shan watched him turn out another flush, his eyes widened.

Lan Yu smiled modestly and shyly, "It's just luck."

Zhen Shan gritted his teeth, not believing this evil at all, and continued.

Then, for ten rounds in a row, Zhen Shan looked at Lan Yu with eyes full of jealousy and perversion.

It's not at all that he's a good poker player, but that he's incredibly lucky.
