"Which places sell red envelopes?" Luzhou asked.

"You don't need to give my parents a red envelope." Xiao Yi drove his brother's Santana, and said: "My money is given by you, how could we also take your red envelopes?"

Luzhou didn't care and only made a sound of interjection, Xiao Yi said: "Brother Zhou, I'll take you out to play, we'll go to a hot spring in the beginning of the year."

Luzhou followed after Xiao Yi as they walked around the county for the whole day, Xiao Yi knew that Luzhou rarely went to public places in Beijing, he usually stayed at home or in a car, living the three-line lifestyle, even the shopping malls he had almost never been to, and if he wanted to go to a shopping mall, he had to go abroad instead.

(T/N: three-line lifestyle = Simple lifestyle)

Xiao Yi and Luzhou first went to play video games and then visited the flower market, in the beginning, Luzhou carried an expressionless face while looking at the stores, Xiao Yi knew that with his net worth he could buy the whole mall if he wanted, a piece of clothing on his body could cover a store, that was why Xiao Yi didn't take him to buy clothes, rather they visited the shops selling souvenirs instead, on the way they would eat some Hubei snacks.

In the afternoon, the two men were strolling in the flower market again, Luzhou was clearly very interested in the things in the flower market and said while looking, "As a child, during Chinese New Year, I wanted a lot of toys."

"Me too." Xiao Yi held a potted flower as he watched Luzhou bend in front of a stall playing with those colorful things, it just felt very funny.

In the evening, the two men strolled in the large supermarket for a long time, everywhere there were uncles and aunties buying New Year's merchandise, Xiao Yi pushed the cart while Luzhou casually looked around, he threw things into the cart as if he didn't need money.

In the end, Xiao Yi had to call Xiao Qiang down to bring a large pile of New Year's merchandise upstairs, his parents were making hot pot to treat Luzhou, there were 5 people sitting at a table, during winter the hot pot on the table was braved with steam, at 8 o'clock the TV broadcasted 'The Golden Hound' where Luzhou was the main lead.

They were talking and laughing, everyone looked at Luzhou while eating, Xiao ba and Xiao ma apparently learned from Xiao Qiang what kind of person Luzhou was, and when they spoke, they were also very careful, Luzhou said a few jokes to dissolve the awkwardness, Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Everyone should treat brother Zhou like Duma, brother Zhou and I are very close."

When he was attending university, Duma sometimes would come to Xiao Yi's home to celebrate the New Year, Luzhou and Xiao Qiang then clinked their glasses, drinking together.

After dinner, Luzhou pulled up his sleeves and helped Xiao ma clean up the bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Yi's soul immediately flew away and scattered, he stepped forward to help but Luzhou stopped him and said: "What are you doing here! You can't do anything!"

(T/N: The soul flies away and scatters = to be frightened stiff /spooked out of one's mind/terror-stricken)

Xiao ma laughed and said: "Let me, Xiao Lu you can just put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink."

It was late at night, Luzhou was obviously a little tired from strolling around so he went to sleep very early, also before bedtime he proposed to go for a run the next morning.

Luzhou hadn't exercised for several days and Xiao Yi couldn't take him to the gym, he could only go for a run, but nearby there were a lot of people who kept dogs, if you ran, you would easily be chased by dogs, in the end, Luzhou scolded him, without any better option he decided to get up earlier in the next morning to run.
