Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 126 Take you to watch the fireworks

In the evening, when Xi Jinbai came back, he saw Sang Yu sitting on the sofa in a daze.

He closed the door softly, unbuttoned his cufflinks, took off his suit jacket and put it on the sofa.

Sang Yu might have been so absorbed in thinking that he didn't realize he was back.

It wasn't until Xi Jinbai squatted down in front of her and held her cold hand that she blinked and came back to her senses.

"I heard Jiang Tang said that the Ji family came to see you today?"

Sang Yu said "hmm".

Xi Jinbai pinched her fingertips and comforted her: "If you don't want to, just ignore her. Don't think too much."

Sang Yu nodded slightly.

Xi Jinbai lowered his eyes and looked at her ankle again, "Does it still hurt?"

Sang Yu shook his head.

She has a quiet personality, and now she doesn't like to talk even more. She keeps everything in her mind. If someone chats with her, she will respond out of politeness, but Xi Jinbai knows that she is very worried.

"What did you read today?" Xi Jinbai asked, looking for a topic.

"A reference book for fashion design." Sang Yu remembered that the Spring Festival would be in two days. The streets outside were bustling, but she didn't feel it at all. "Don't you need to go back to Su City? The New Year will be here soon."

Xi Jinbai stared into her eyes, "Will you go back with me?"

There were elders at home, so he had to go back, but he couldn't worry about her.

Sang Yu shook her head and refused without thinking. She didn't want to go anywhere.

Xi Jinbai guessed it and didn't force her, "I'll go back on New Year's Eve and come back to be with you on the second day of the new year."

Sang Yu didn't want to delay his Chinese New Year celebrations with his family, "You don't have to accompany me. You and your family can celebrate the New Year well. I will take care of myself."

"Do you think I can rest assured?" Xi Jinbai frowned slightly, "Besides, I don't have much to do at home, and I have plenty of people to accompany me. I am not the only one missing."

Sang Yu couldn't say anything else.
-
Fast forward to New Year's Eve.

Someone knocked on the door in the morning, and Xi Jinbai walked to the door and opened it.

The person outside the door smiled and said hello, "Mr. Xi."

"Please come in." Xi Jinbai brought her a pair of slippers.

Auntie put on her shoes and went into the house, "Xiao Yu, long time no see."

The voice sounded familiar, and Sang Yu was a little surprised, "Auntie, why are you here?"

It was the aunt who had been taking care of her when she lived in Xi Jinbai's apartment. Later, she stopped living there, so the aunt naturally changed her job to another job.

The aunt explained: "My daughter is busy with work and has no time to celebrate the New Year at home this year. We happen to have company. You won't welcome her, right?"

Sang Yu curled his lips and said, "How come? Of course you are welcome."

In the past, her aunt took good care of her and was kind and kind. Sang Yu liked her very much.

"That's good." The aunt came closer, noticed the gauze on her foot, and asked with concern: "Why did your foot get injured? Is it serious?"

Sang Yu asked her to sit down, "It's a sprain. It's not serious. It will be healed soon."

Xi Jinbai went to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water and handed it to his aunt.

The latter was so flattered that no employer would pour her water. She quickly stood up and took it and thanked her, "Thank you, sir."

She chatted with Sang Yu for a while. Seeing that it was almost time to make lunch, she asked, "Do you have anything you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"I can eat anything."

Xi Jinbai said: "She likes spicy food, but don't make it too spicy, as it will not be good for the wound recovery."

The aunt was surprised, "You like spicy food? Why didn't you tell me before? I thought you and your husband had the same taste."

Sang Yu pursed his lips slightly, "I don't want to bother you, I can eat it if it's not spicy."

"It's no trouble to cook two more dishes. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"it is good."

Xi Jinbai asked someone to buy vegetables in advance and put them in the refrigerator. They were all Sang Yu's favorite foods.

He had a flight to catch and couldn't stay for lunch. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell her: "Auntie, take care of her for me. If you need anything, call me anytime." The aunt narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Xi."

Xi Jin touched Sang Yu's forehead with his finger, "Let's go. I'll call you when I get there."

She nodded, "Okay, be careful on the road."

After Xi Jinbai left, the aunt couldn't help but joke: "Xiao Yu, sir, he is very interested in you."

The more they look at each other, the more they look like a newlywed couple, reluctant to separate.

Sang Yu smiled and did not deny it.

Xi Jinbai was indeed very kind to her, but the better he got, the more afraid she became. The feeling of gaining and losing again penetrated deep into her bones.
-
Auntie cooked the meals at noon and evening. Sang Yu helped out, choosing and washing vegetables while chatting. The time passed by unconsciously.

After dinner, Auntie tidied up the kitchen, cut some fruits, packed snacks, and watched the Spring Festival Gala with Sang Yu in the living room until after nine o'clock.

A skit was playing on the TV. Sang Yu felt a little sleepy after watching it. He closed his eyes for a while and then fell asleep on the sofa.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks came from outside the window, pulling her into a dream.

When she was a child, every Chinese New Year, Sang Fengping would buy her beautiful clothes and shoes, as well as a lot of candies and cookies, and take her out to play with fairy sticks on New Year's Eve.

"Yu Yu, do you have any New Year's wishes?"

"I hope my mother can stay with me every Chinese New Year, okay?"

"of course."

In the "sizzling" burning fire, the smiles are bright and vivid, accompanied by laughter and laughter.

But in the blink of an eye, my mother disappeared. The surroundings were dark and I couldn't see my fingers.

Sang Yu shouted in panic: "Mom! Mom! Where are you?"

No matter how much she shouted, she couldn't get a response.

The cold and harsh sound of equipment suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Drip-drip-"

"Tick tick tick——"

My chest was tightly wrapped with tension and suffocation, and I was almost out of breath.

Suddenly, the lights came on, and Sang Fengping appeared in front of her, holding Sang Yu's hand, "I'm sorry Yu Yu, I can't accompany you anymore. You must be safe and happy in the future, and do what you want to do. Take good care of yourself, your mother will protect you in another world and love you forever.”

Sang Yu clung to her clothes and cried, begging her: "Mom! Don't leave!"

But no matter how hard she tried, Sang Fengping still disappeared bit by bit in front of her eyes.

Sang Yu burst into tears, "Mom, why did you break your promise?"

"You also abandoned me..."

In his sleep, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

A burst of WeChat ringtone woke her up from her dream, her eyelashes fluttered and slowly opened.

Sang Yu blocked the dazzling light with his hand, noticed that his face was wet, wiped away the tears, leaned over and took the mobile phone on the table to connect it.

A familiar face appeared on the screen.

Xi Jinbai caught a glimpse of the hazy water in her eyes, "Asleep? Did I wake you up?"

Sang Yu held the phone and said "Hmm" softly.

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa?"

"I accidentally fell asleep while watching TV."

"Don't catch a cold." After reminding him, Xi Jinbai turned the camera over and faced the sky, "I'll show you the fireworks."

Under the high-definition pixels, countless colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky, spreading out and falling along the trajectory, lighting up the entire night sky, like a beautiful picture.

Time jumps to 00:00 in the new year.

A warm and magnetic voice came through the receiver: "Happy New Year, Yu Yu."

Sang Yu's heart felt like it was being burned, "Happy New Year."
