The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

50

On New Year's Eve, the driver from the Ye family arrived early at the bottom of Ye Zexi's villa to take him back to the Ye residence for the New Year.

This time, Ye Zexi brought a considerable amount of gifts for the family. When he got out of the car, Yan Man came out to help with the packages.

The other three family members, who had been surprised by the large number of gifts Ye Zexi brought home, now looked less astonished. Even Ye Haoyan, upon receiving a gift box, couldn't resist opening a small gap to peek inside and see what was in it.

When he saw a pair of brand-new, limited-edition sneakers, Ye Haoyan's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked at Ye Zexi, unsure of what to say.

Finally, Yan Man asked, "Have you thanked him?"

Ye Haoyan snapped out of his daze and sincerely said to Ye Zexi, "Thank you, Brother!"

Ye Zexi waved it off with a smile, saying, "It's nothing. I'm not really into sneakers anyway. If you like them, you can take a few pairs from my place. I've bought more than I need, and they're just sitting in the closet. Take what you like."

Hearing this, Ye Haoyan was even more excited, "Is that okay?"

Ye Zexi nodded firmly, "Of course."

Ye Haoyan quickly added, "I'll come over in a few days!"

Ye Zexi thought for a moment, "Anytime before the Lantern Festival."

[The Lantern Festival is a Chinese celebration on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, featuring colorful lanterns and cultural activities.]

He was already planning to sneak off for a vacation abroad, with his flight booked for the day after the Lantern Festival.

Ye Haoyan nodded vigorously.

Yan Man, watching her son's eager expression, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She even suspected that if it weren't for mealtime approaching, Ye Haoyan would have rushed to Ye Zexi's villa immediately to get the shoes.

So immature!

She glanced at the jewelry box in her hands, a new gift from Ye Zexi. Her lips curled into a smile.

Upon reflection, she couldn't say Ye Haoyan was entirely immature. Indeed, Ye Zexi had changed from before—no longer speaking in a sarcastic manner and now giving gifts that were thoughtful and appreciated.

Looking at Ye Jianbin on the sofa, he was even happier.

This was perhaps the first time Ye Zexi was sitting on the sofa with Ye Haoyan beside him, and for once, the brothers weren't bickering but instead chatting amiably.

Ye Jianbin had often imagined this scene and now, seeing it in reality, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and sentimentality.

At noon, Yan Man personally cooked a feast filled with Ye Zexi's favorite dishes. The highlight for Ye Zexi was the dried fish he had been craving for a long time.

The meal was a great success, and the whole family was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Ye Haoyan even invited Ye Zexi to the game room for an afternoon of gaming.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Jianbin handed out red envelopes he had prepared earlier to both Ye Zexi and Ye Haoyan. Yan Man also had red envelopes ready, along with a gift box for Ye Zexi.

Ye Haoyan was shocked when he saw this and asked, "Mom, why didn't I get a gift box?"

Yan Man gave him a sidelong glance and coldly asked, "Did you make it into the top twenty for the final exams?"
