On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was greeting guests when I realized my husband had disappeared.
I was just about to go inside and look for him when a line of floating comments flashed before my eyes:
[He's secretly meeting his wife on the balcony. The leads are really heating things up now! So thrilling!]
[That's what the vicious supporting female character gets for butting in. Otherwise, the male lead would have already gotten together with his beloved first love.]
I headed for the balcony, but my in-laws immediately stopped me.
“Ranran, I sent Qin Yu to check on the restaurant. It's about time we headed over too.”
[That was close! The male lead's parents are so quick-thinking.]
[Oh my, as soon as the male lead heard they were leaving, he kissed the female lead until she could hardly breathe.]
So this whole family had joined forces to deceive me.
Well, I wasn't about to do what they wanted.
I glanced at the balcony, with no heating and temperatures well below freezing.
Then I turned and called to all our relatives:
“It's freezing out. No one needs to go anywhere. I'll call the restaurant and have them deliver the food. Let's party all night!”
The floating comments and my in-laws were both dumbfounded.
[What!? Party all night? The male and female leads are going to freeze into ice sculptures!]
