1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 337 Memorial Day

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The sunlight is bright in front of the window, and a gentle breeze blows across my face, ruffling the soft, slightly curly hair by my ears.

A beautiful figure sat in front of the desk, holding her chin and looking out the window quietly.

The thin morning light slanted across the pair of tender and affectionate peach blossom eyes, dyeing them a light golden color, like molten gold at sunrise.

January 27th.

It was just an ordinary day on the calendar, but for Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli, it was a day worth commemorating and unforgettable.

During this short day last year, the two met at the corner of the Jiangjiao Dance Theater with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.

On the same day, at Liu Xiaoli's insistence, the two confirmed their relationship and made an agreement to be together for one year.

As time goes by, everything is getting better and better.

Cheng Kaiyan looked down at the two gold bracelets lying on her palms. They felt cold and heavy.

He didn't weigh them, but estimated that each one weighed about 40 to 50 grams.

According to the current gold price of 48 yuan per gram, it is more than 2,000 yuan.

The two together cost more than five thousand, which was almost the same as what the two of them paid... well, twice as much.

But since it is a gift for my wife, I don’t need to worry about the price.

"It's time to go out... I wonder what gift Xiaoli has prepared?"

Cheng Kaiyan started laughing as she thought about it.

This girl is already a pauper, what gift can she give?

"time to eat."

At this time, my mother's voice came.

Cheng Kaiyan stuffed the two bracelets into her two purses and put them in the inner pocket of her tweed coat before getting up and going out.

In front of the dining table.

The mother and son were chatting while eating.

"You are going to Harbin tomorrow. It will be much colder there than here. Please keep warm and wear more clothes. I will pack your clothes and luggage for you in a while."

Xu Yuxiu gave instructions.

After saying this, she added a few words about things to pay attention to when visiting a client.

"understood."

Cheng Kaiyan remembered them all in her mind.

Xu Yuxiu nodded slightly and arranged: "You are going to the welfare home at noon, right? I will arrange the New Year's dinner in the afternoon. You can leave after the New Year's dinner. When you go there later, remember to tell Xiaoli and your aunt, and they will come to eat then."

"Uh-huh."

When Cheng Kaiyan heard her mother mention Jiang Ting, she began to wonder.

After both Xiaoli and I left, my aunt was the only one left at home.

Plus, it was the Chinese New Year, so it was inevitable that I felt lonely.

Thinking of this, Cheng Kaiyan looked up and suggested to her mother: "Mom, how about letting your aunt spend the New Year with you this year? It's just right for the two of you to keep each other company."

"It's fine on my end."

Xu Yuxiu nodded. She was very happy that Jiang Ting came.

Last year during the Chinese New Year, they made dumplings and had dinner together, and they were quite harmonious.

In addition, Jiang Ting herself is extremely knowledgeable and respects Xu Yuxiu very much, and the two get along very well.

only……

"But your aunt is not coming back to the Ning family to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Xu Yuxiu asked doubtfully. She had had this doubt since last year, but she had kept it in her heart and had not asked.

Out of nowhere, I don’t know what conflict they had, but they haven’t even spent years together.

"I probably won't go there for the New Year."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head and explained.

Having said that, a lot of doubts suddenly arose in his mind.

What exactly happened after my aunt had a detailed discussion with old lady Ning last year?
Ning Ruzheng sent someone to send a letter. What did he write?
The aunt came to Nanjiang Hospital to visit Ning Ruzheng. What happened between the two of them?
Did this marriage end in divorce?

"Forget it. After all, they are from a distinguished family. There are some things that ordinary people like us cannot interfere with."

……

After breakfast, Cheng Kaiyan rode out on his bike.

I bought some breakfast along the way and a few cans of yogurt at the newsstand.

In a flash, he arrived at the door carrying the things.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

"Not up yet?"

So Cheng Kaiyan had to put down her things and take out her key to open the door.

I opened the door and the living room appeared before my eyes.

The sun was shining brightly outside the balcony, shining obliquely on the TV and the wall opposite, swaying with the shadows of the trees.

The rustling sound in the cold morning breeze made the living room especially quiet.

"Sure enough, no one is here. Are they all sleeping in?"

Cheng Kaiyan came up with an idea and quickly went into the house and closed the door.

I threw the breakfast yogurt on the table and turned on the radiator.

Only then did he tiptoe to his girlfriend's boudoir.

"Click..."

The door was turned a corner.

Because the bed was very close to the door, Cheng Kaiyan could clearly see most of the bed through the gap in the door.

Sure enough, there was a girl sleeping soundly under the quilt.

However, because the sheet is not long enough, the girl might accidentally let her feet out when tucking in the quilt at night.

Cheng Kaiyan looked carefully and found that the quilt was still covering her feet.

To be precise, it was the girl's toes that lifted up the thick quilt, creating a cute little bulge on the quilt.

This creates the awkward situation where the feet are under the quilt but sticking out.

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head helplessly, then quietly closed the door and walked in.

Walk to the end of the bed, squat down and look.

There were two white little feet hidden under the sheets, as delicate and beautiful as white jade.

The pink soles of the feet are exposed to the air and are slightly red.

The two feet are neatly put together, and they are so quiet and delicate even when they are sleeping.

At the same time, as the distance increases, you can smell a faint fragrance at the tip of your nose, which becomes more obvious due to the effect of body temperature.

Cheng Kaiyan reached out and touched it. Although it was as delicate as jade, it was as cold as cast iron. Even Cheng Kaiyan's hands were startled by the coldness.

"It's a good thing you can sleep with such cold feet."

He frowned, his eyes full of distress and pity.

I have nothing to do and today is our anniversary.

Cheng Kaiyan did not despise her. She reached out and held the girl's two little feet in her palms, rubbing them gently to keep her warm.

……

The girl who was sleeping peacefully on the bed frowned slightly, and the two eyeballs under her eyelids moved restlessly, as if she felt the heat and strangeness coming from the soles of her feet.

The instep of his feet was quietly stretched taut, and his ten white toes curled up weakly like silkworms.

"Whoosh..."

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Xiaoli, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and gasped as she could no longer bear it.

"Susu..."

The girl only felt that her feet seemed to be held by a pair of hands and gently rubbed, and at the same time, a rustling sound came from her ears.

The girl, who was not yet awake, felt uneasy and subconsciously wanted to pull her foot out.

It’s a pity that those hands were very strong and I didn’t succeed at once.

However, Liu Xiaoli was much more sober and calm. She sat up suddenly and looked carefully.

A familiar figure was squatting at the end of the bed.

She frowned immediately and asked quietly, "Cheng Kaiyan, what are you doing?"

"How could you sleep? Your feet were outside all night. It was freezing cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Cheng Kaiyan heard the panic and unhappiness in her boyfriend's heart, and expressed her concern slowly.

"It's really not cold anymore..."

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she tried to sense it and found that her feet were indeed warm.

It should be that Cheng Kaiyan covered her for a long time.

Knowing that she had wronged him, the girl's voice softened immediately, and she murmured in a soft voice like Wu Nong dialect: "Sorry, it's just that the quilt is a little short, and I can't take care of the bottom when I take care of the top."

As she spoke, the two little feet in Cheng Kaiyan's hands began to twist shyly and uneasily.

"Not cold anymore?"

"It's not cold anymore."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head gently, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt Cheng Kaiyan let her go without any reluctance.

But she felt a little reluctant when this guy suddenly let go.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Kaiyan walked to the bed and sat down next to her. Seeing that she looked a little dazed, she asked with concern.

"Ahem...it's nothing."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and suddenly covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

"Have a cold?"

Cheng Kaiyan stood up again and reached out to touch her forehead.

Fortunately, it’s not hot, at least I don’t have a fever.

Give her the gift and go get the medicine.

Planning in his mind, he took Liu Xiaoli's hand, which was quietly resting on the sheets.

The girl looked at him puzzledly, not knowing what he was going to do.

He asked, "Do you remember what day it is today?"

"January 27th is... the day we first met!"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she spoke in a hoarse voice.

Of course she remembered, and she would never forget this day.

Cheng Kaiyan: "This anniversary gift is for you, and I will only pass it on to my daughter-in-law..."

"For my daughter-in-law..."

Liu Xiaoli was shocked when she heard this.

What kind of gift can only be passed on to the daughter-in-law?

Such a valuable gift, should I accept it?
But today is the anniversary!

Liu Xiaoli quickly raised her little face to look, and saw Cheng Kaiyan taking out a plain gold bracelet from her arms.

Without waiting for her to think, Cheng Kaiyan held her five fingers and curled them up, then put the heavy gold bracelet on her wrist.

Liu Xiaoli looked down in a daze, and saw the cold gold bracelet swaying gently on her slender white wrist, reflecting the luster and texture of the metal in the thin morning light outside the window.

After staring blankly for a long time, before Liu Xiaoli could speak, Cheng Kaiyan's voice came to her ears:

"Lie down and rest for a while. I'll go get the medicine..."

……

in the living room.

Cheng Kaiyan tore open two packets of Isatis root powder, and tiny black-brown particles fell into the glass.

"Gulu gulu..."

Then he picked up the kettle and poured in half a cup of last night's hot water. The splashing water melted the Isatis root granules.

Cheng Kaiyan stirred it, then lowered her head and smelled it.

Ah!
It still has that classic taste.

"what happened?"

There was the sound of footsteps, and a cold and distant voice came from behind.

Turning around, I saw a beautiful woman in a sweater and casual pants, asking calmly.

"The quilt wasn't covered properly at night, so Sister Xiaoli caught a cold. Give her some Isatis root."

Cheng Kaiyan raised his glass and gestured.

"Are you okay?"

"Just a little cough."

"That's good."

Jiang Ting breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and go to the bathroom to wash up, but was stopped by Cheng Kaiyan.

"By the way, what are your plans for the New Year this year?"

"rest at home."

Jiang Ting explained with a normal expression.

Cheng Kaiyan secretly said, "As expected," and quickly invited him, "Why don't you come to our house to celebrate the New Year after we leave, just like last year."

"No need."

Jiang Ting shook her head slightly and declined.

Cheng Kaiyan wanted to persuade her again, but Jiang Ting looked determined.

"Okay then, but you have to come to the New Year's Eve dinner on the 28th. Xiaoli and I will be there and we will be leaving soon."

"Well... okay."

"Breakfast is on the table, remember to eat it."

"Ah."

After the two finished their discussion, they passed each other.

Jiang Ting went to the bathroom to wash up, while Cheng Kaiyan brought the isatis root to Liu Xiaoli's room.

……

eight thirty.

Cheng Kaiyan sat on the carpet, staring at the TV.

After Liu Xiaoli washed up, she had a simple breakfast with her aunt.

Although today is their anniversary, the two of them have been out playing for many days recently, so they stayed at home today.

After dinner, the three of them rested for a while.

Jiang Ting and Liu Xiaoli, each wearing light clothes, practiced yoga on the carpet to help digestion.

Today's pose is the King of Dance pose. Jiang Ting teaches Liu Xiaoli the key points of the movements.
"One hand grasps the instep of the foot in an arched shape, the movement is smooth and round, the chest is like a swan with its head held high, and the opposite arm is stretched out like a drooping willow branch... Yeah, very good, the movement is very standard."

Jiang Ting couldn't help but sigh as she watched Liu Xiaoli's movements become as standard as in a textbook after just one teaching.

"This exercise is pretty good. It can stretch the thighs and waistline..."

After all, Liu Xiaoli has been practicing dancing since she was a child, so yoga is not difficult for her at all.

The main reason she learned this was that it allowed her to maintain her body flexibility when she was not practicing dancing. It also had the effect of cultivating her sentiments and improving her character.

Since she hadn't practiced dancing for many days, Liu Xiaoli took advantage of her cold today to exercise and sweat.

Practiced for a while.

Liu Xiaoli felt that the intensity was not enough, so she loosened her hands and spread her legs naturally and easily to the sides, and started practicing the splits.

Seeing this, Jiang Ting also tried it, spreading her legs and slowly opening them to both sides. However, 180 degrees was a little difficult. She pursed her lips and took some effort to open them completely.

Liu Xiaoli on the side was exercising back and forth, her flexibility and range of motion being evident.

Jiang Ting secretly shook her head in her heart, there was really no comparison.

After looking at Liu Xiaoli for a while, a golden light suddenly flashed in his sight.

This is?

Where did the gold bracelet come from?
"Xiao Li, what is the bracelet on your hand?"

Jiang Ting asked calmly.

"This?"

Liu Xiaoli turned her head and pointed at the bracelet on her wrist, smiling and said, "This is an anniversary gift from Kaiyan. She said it was passed down from above."

She was embarrassed to say that she passed it on to her daughter-in-law.

"Anniversary gift..."

Jiang Ting's heart trembled, and she nodded with a calm expression.

She knew that this was most likely passed down from Xiaoyan's family to her daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law?

Jiang Ting didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly she felt disappointed.

The movements of her legs also became deformed, and her plump, soft legs began to twitch.

A tearing pain came like a wave, making the beautiful woman turn pale and hiss through her teeth.

"hiss……"

"What's wrong?!"

"Are you okay, auntie?"

When Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli heard the noise, they looked over and asked anxiously.

"I am fine."

Jiang Ting's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and held on.

"I'm cramped! And you're saying it's okay!"

Liu Xiaoli was very angry, and she and Cheng Kaiyan quickly picked up Jiang Ting and laid her flat on the carpet.

"How about it?"

"I have cramps in both legs and a minor muscle strain. It will take at least a week to heal."

Liu Xiaoli put her hands on Jiang Ting's leg muscles and rubbed them, and made a professional assessment based on Jiang Ting's pain.

She has been practicing dancing for many years and has experienced some common injuries countless times, so she has already had experience.

"It's New Year's Day, one has a cold and a cough, the other has a cramp and a sprain..."

Cheng Kaiyan shook his head and sighed.

"Do not bother me."

When Jiang Ting heard this, she immediately said expressionlessly.

After saying that, she closed her eyes tightly.
