The wind blows north, you chase south

Chapter 18 New Year's Wishes

Under our careful care, Zhou Chengguang's health soon improved, and the final exam was coming soon.

Because everyone devoted themselves to reviewing during this period, including Fang Zicong, they all took the test with gods, and after the test, they no longer feel like mourning for a concubine, but flushed with confidence.

The last exam was over, and I left the exam room. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Sunan standing outside the classroom, and hurriedly chased after him: "When did you come out?"

"An hour ago." He said flatly.

I:"……"

Xueba, you really don't need to hit me like this.

We were talking when Fang Zicong and Fang Xiaojing came face to face.

Fang Zicong said: "I feel that I should receive red envelopes for Chinese New Year this year, not 'fried pork with bamboo shoots'."

"This is thanks to the squad leader, so Fang Zicong, you have to honor the squad leader after you get the red envelope." Fang Xiaojing said.

"And me and me." I hurriedly raised my hand.

"What's the matter with you?" The two said in unison.

I tried my best: "If I hadn't gone through untold hardships, could Sunan help you with counseling? So there must be my credit here, I'm the one who made the match."

"Squad leader, tell me, does Hu Le have any credit?" Fang Xiaojing asked with a smile.

Sunan smiled meaningfully, but didn't answer, which made me lose face.

Before going back, we turned to the examination room of the first year of high school, and saw Zhou Chengguang was checking the test paper with his head down, with a serious expression on his face.Sunan and I looked at each other, and I said softly, "The students you teach are different."

Sunan snorted and walked away.

After the final exam, the old class simply held a class meeting and announced the holiday.

The winter vacation means that the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Every New Year, my family and Sunan's family will go to their hometown, and I think this year is no exception.I am starting to miss the candied sweet potatoes made by my grandma. They are sweet and glutinous, springy and crunchy...

Just as I was drooling at the thought, I got hit on the head.I looked up and looked resentfully at the guy who interrupted my thoughts.

"What are you doing?" I squinted at Sunan dissatisfied.

A week has passed since the holiday, the winter vacation is short, and the Chinese New Year will be in a week.

Sunan said lightly: "Accompany me to the mall to buy clothes."

"Ah, why?"

"There's so much nonsense, just let you go." Sunan rolled my eyes at me angrily, seeing that I was still looking at him stupidly, he added helplessly, "Both our parents are too busy to choose clothes for us , Uncle and Auntie put your money for buying clothes with me, let us buy them by ourselves."

As soon as I heard the money, I immediately cheered up: "Then why didn't you tell me? Give me, give me." I stretched out my hand and looked at him eagerly.

Sunan patted my hand lightly, and I withdrew my hand in pain, displeased and wronged: "I didn't let you hit me, give me money."

I don't know where the words "give me money" touched Sunan's body. The corners of his eyes were bent, and he smiled: "You asked me for money so soon?"

Nonsense, the money my parents bought me for clothes is on you, I don’t ask you, who do I ask for?

"I'll keep it for you." Sunan gave me a blank look, "Because Auntie knows you well, she put the money in my place and yours, and it will become the filth in your stomach after a while."

I said to myself, you really don't have to know me so well.

Years ago, the shopping mall was very lively. I looked at the bustling crowd and said, "I didn't go to the wrong place, did I? This is a shopping mall, not a vegetable market. Why is everyone rushing for discounted Chinese cabbage?"

Sunan thought it was funny: "Chinese cabbage is so popular?"

Because there were too many people, and some mischievous kids were chasing after each other, Sunan tried to protect me with his body and keep me away from the crowd.

I looked up at Su Nan.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, looking at the front intently, and occasionally someone bumped into him, and he just frowned slightly.

I was watching intently, Sunan lowered his head and met my eyes.He froze for a moment, and I hurriedly looked away.

"Look at the road when you walk, not me." After a moment of silence, Sunan said.

"Oh." I responded in a low voice, trying to suppress the chaotic emotions.

Sunan took me to buy women's clothing first. I've never been picky about clothes, and I don't have much discernment. Looking at the dazzling array of clothing, I picked one at random, and Sunan shook his head repeatedly.

He hung the clothes back, plucked the hangers a few times with his slender fingers, selected one and handed it to me: "Go and try."

I obediently took the clothes and went to the locker room.

After changing, I pulled the skirt awkwardly and put it out.When Sunan, who was leaning on the sofa and waiting for me, saw me coming out, his eyes did not show any surprise, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said word by word: "You are wearing the wrong clothes."

I:"……"

Fortunately, no one paid attention to me, otherwise it would be embarrassing, I quickly went back and changed my clothes, this time I checked carefully before coming out slowly.

The moment I looked in the mirror, I felt that Sunan not only had a high IQ, but also had a superior vision.

The texture of the off-white cotton dress is soft, and there is no pinprick feeling when it is attached to the skin. The style of the skirt is generous, but the hem of the skirt is covered with patterns of stars, like a sky full of stars, which fall on this skirt inadvertently .

I was smug, and suddenly felt a warmth on my shoulders.Through the full-length mirror, I saw Sunan gently put a woolen shawl on my shoulders.His slender fingers sank into the wool, he was a head taller than me, just lowered his head slightly, looking at me tenderly.

Just when I thought we were going to look at each other forever, the salesperson appeared in time and broke the scene of this sudden idol drama.I quickly regained my senses, and in a panic, I stepped on Sunan's foot.

He groaned, staring at me with an unkind expression.

Alas, I just said, this is a short, inexplicable scene of an idol drama. Su Nankong and I have the skin of the hero and heroine of the idol drama, but not the soul of the hero and heroine of the idol drama.

If I had, I should hold my throat and ask him now: "Su Nan, I'm sorry, I hurt you. Seeing that you hurt, I hurt too..."

But the reality is: "Haha, Sunan, you jump like a toad."

The salesperson was trying to praise me with a smile all over his face, but he couldn't hold back his laughter, and there was a pop, which sounded like a sound made by a land of reincarnation of grains.

This time it was Sunan's turn to drag me away from the scene in a panic.

In the end, though, I bought the dress.

Sunan's reason is very simple. He thinks that I am already quite shabby and have a bad temperament. If I don't wrap up with some good clothes, I will go down the path of vulgarity forever.

I slander: It seems that your old temperament is fresh and refined.

But then I had to swallow what I just said. Looking at Sunan who came out of the locker room, I finally understood this elegant poem - there are bandits, they are as sharp as they are, and they are as sharp as grinding.

As soon as Sunan appeared, he attracted the attention of many people.

His figure is in the standard golden ratio, he is tall, his legs are long, and his shoulders are broad. Although he is not as thick as a mature man, his thin figure is quite eye-catching. Moreover, his skin is fair and his features are exquisite. This black windbreaker makes him looks like...

What is it like?

The salesman was praising him, and a word slowly emerged in my mind—the medieval vampire, as Zhou Chengguang said, is noble, cold, and alienated, with a mysterious temptation, which makes people want to get closer involuntarily. After approaching, there is no way to know whether it is life or death.

While I was in a daze, Sunan had already walked in front of me with an awkward expression: "What do you think?"

I didn't hesitate to praise myself: "You're so handsome, I'm going to apply for a model just like this, and I'll pass."

Hearing my praise in front, Sunan was still smiling, but when he heard the back, he pulled his handsome face and patted my head angrily: "You are the only model."

I was wondering, I was praising him, how did it get into his mouth, being a model is like insulting someone?
After buying clothes, we went home with big bags and small bags. When we got home, my parents just came back from shopping for the New Year.Seeing my new dress, my mother "tsk": "Didn't Sunan choose it?"

I was surprised: "Mom, how do you know?"

My mother gave me a blank look: "Isn't this obvious? Does your iron padded jacket have such good eyesight? I really doubt that I gave birth to the wrong child in the hospital. My aesthetics is so good, oh... "

I became sad, and I also felt that I was hugged wrongly, Sunan is your child, right?

My mom and I were bickering endlessly, and my dad shouted: "Lele, your phone number."

"Dad, I told you not to call me Lele." I was quite helpless.

You know, he gave me such a name, and I have accepted my fate, maybe I can't call me that?

Nowadays, many families are keen to keep pets, but they are not good at naming them, so the name Lele has become a common name for pets. Among the ten pets, eight are named Lele.

I remember one time our family went for a walk in the park, and many people in the park were walking their dogs. My dad yelled Lele, and all the dogs turned around and barked.

"Oh, I forgot! Daughter, I will pay attention next time." My dad walked away with a guilty conscience.

The phone rang, and it was Zhou Chengguang calling. He wanted to give me a New Year's gift and asked me to go and get it.

I should.

Compared to other places, Zhou Chengguang's house is quite deserted, without any New Year's atmosphere. The living room is clearly heated, but I still feel empty and cold.

Zhou Chengguang came down from upstairs, saw me, and smiled at me: "You are here."

As soon as I sat down, I said, "What gift do you want? I'm so indifferent, but it's reciprocal, and I want to give you a gift." After I finished speaking, I took out a souvenir book from my schoolbag, "Here, here you are."

He opened it and saw the cartoon character drawn on the first page, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he stroked a small cartoon character on it with his fingers: "Is this me?"

I smiled and said, "Don't you even recognize yourself?"

I introduced one by one: "This is me, this is Sunan, these two guys are Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong, you are the indispensable one among the five of us."

"One and the other are indispensable." He suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkled with stars, but he was still a little uncertain, "Really?"

I straightened my face instantly: "You ask this kind of question, it shows that you don't really treat us as friends."

Zhou Chengguang really panicked: "I didn't mean that, I just..."

I chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, not wanting to scare him anymore: "I was just joking with you." The commemorative book is not very big, it's a bit like a photo album, with my sketches in it, and photos taken by Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong.

"I originally wanted to have a copy for everyone, but the time was too short, so I gave it to you first. This is a lonely copy, the only copy. You must keep it safe. If you lose it, I will only ask you."

I made a gesture of wiping my neck.

Zhou Chengguang nodded solemnly: "I am with the album, and I am dead when the album is gone..."

"Don't say such things." My heart skipped a beat, "Don't imitate me."

Zhou Chengguang was stunned for a moment, his originally gentle eyes were tinged with sadness: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Yeah." I nodded, "With our four patron saints protecting you, no one can bully you."

The corner of Zhou Chengguang's mouth twitched slightly: "Forget about that person."

That person should be referring to Sunan.I find it funny in my heart, you don't want Sunan to be your patron saint, and Sunan probably doesn't want to be your patron saint either.

Seeing Zhou Chengguang staring at the corner of the souvenir book, I couldn't help being curious, and my eyes moved down his line of sight, feeling speechless.

On it are the four words "You're sure to lose" flamboyantly. This sentence is arrogant, and the handwriting is even more arrogant. It doesn't match the image of Sunan in the past.

At that time, I begged Sunan to leave a message in the memorial book. He was very secretive for a long time and didn't let me open it to find out. So that's what he wrote.

I looked at Zhou Chengguang in embarrassment, and wondered in my heart what kind of bet he and Zhou Chengguang made again.

Zhou Chengguang closed the souvenir book, but there was no sign of anger on his face, he just said softly: "It's really childish."

"Master, the master is calling, and he asked you to answer it." Uncle Zhou shouted.

Zhou Chengguang smiled at me, asked me to wait for a while, and then went upstairs to answer the phone.

Not long after, Zhou Chengguang came down, no matter how much he pretended, the disappointment and sadness in his eyes were still invisible.He came to me and said softly, "I'm going to get the gift."

As soon as he turned around, I grabbed him and he looked at me in surprise.

I pursed my lips and fixed my eyes on him: "Zhou Chengguang, we just agreed that good friends should be honest with each other, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

"I haven't forgotten," he said.

"Then tell me what happened..." I guessed on my own, my heart sank, "Could it be your heart..."

In order to prevent me from guessing randomly, Zhou Chengguang sighed and told the truth: "It's not what you think, my health is fine, it's just..."

"Just what?" Don't speak halfway, don't you know I'm in a hurry?

Zhou Chengguang smiled wryly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my dad has something to do and can't come here."

My head buzzed.

When I was in the car, I heard Uncle Zhou mention that Zhou Chengguang's father would come to accompany him to celebrate the New Year.

Facing a broken family, I think Zhou Chengguang looks forward to the care and company of his parents more than anyone else, but he can't even realize this wish.

I can't help but feel aggrieved, Uncle Zhou has been busy for a whole year, doesn't he even have time for the few days of Chinese New Year?

Maybe it was because the anger on my face was too obvious, Zhou Chengguang found it funny: "Why do you look angrier than me when I heard that my dad didn't come? It's okay, I'm used to it a long time ago, I'll go get the gift."

Zhou Chengguang went back to the room to get the presents. When he came down, he handed the presents to me and said, "The red box is for Fang Xiaojing, the yellow one is for Fang Zicong, the pink one is for you, and the green one is for Sunan." ..."

I said softly: "Zhou Chengguang, since your father won't come, I will accompany you to celebrate the New Year."

He stopped suddenly, looked up at me suddenly, and after a while, he smiled suddenly: "I said I'm fine, okay, you go back, I'll ask Uncle Zhou to take you back."

He didn't seem to want me to talk and pushed me outside.The door was closed, I was holding the box in a daze, and Uncle Zhou beside me sighed softly: "Young master is like this, Hu Le, let's go."

After returning home, I called and asked Fang Xiaojing and the others to come and collect the gift.The two of them were quite free during the Chinese New Year, so they rushed over without saying a word.

I distributed Zhou Chengguang's gifts to everyone, and when we arrived in Sunan, Fang Zicong burst out laughing, "Why did Zhou Chengguang give the class monitor a green box?"

Before, I was too busy thinking about Zhou Chengguang's affairs, but now I take a closer look and find it weird.While green is a refreshing color, many people like to twist its meaning.

For example, a green hat.

Sunan sneered, and took the gift box calmly.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he doesn't care.

In the evening, everyone had dinner at my house. My parents made dumplings. Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong ate until their bellies bulged, and they collapsed on the ground gasping for breath.

I took an opportunity and dragged Fang Xiaojing to the bathroom to whisper.

Fang Xiaojing burped: "You can talk anywhere, but you just dragged me to the bathroom. Is it convenient for me to go to the bathroom?"

"I'm afraid you'll be stuffed and vomit where you shouldn't." I rolled her eyes, "Okay, let me tell you the business. I just went to Zhou Chengguang's house to get a gift, but his father agreed to accompany him for the New Year , and temporarily broke the contract."

"Ah, it's so miserable." Fang Xiaojing sighed, "My parents divorced, and I got a heart attack. I wanted to have a good year, but I only had Uncle Zhou by my side. I think Zhou Chengguang can be selected as one of the most miserable people of the year."

"Are you finished?!" I pinched her.

Fang Xiaojing "hissed": "Then what can we do? Could it be possible to fly abroad and bring his father here to accompany him during the New Year?"

After Fang Xiaojing finished speaking, she stared at me quietly: "Could it be that you want to spend the New Year with him?"

I nodded, Fang Xiaojing is indeed the roundworm in my stomach, she really understands me.

"You're serious, what about the monitor? Where's your parents? Do you want any more red envelopes?"

"However, I have already told Zhou Chengguang impulsively. If I change my mind, won't he suffer another blow?" I said, "I just want you to give me an idea, how to make it clear to Sunan."

Fang Xiaojing smiled brightly: "Anyway, you are dead."

I:"……"

Don't be so direct, okay?
In the past Chinese New Year, our two families went to our hometown together. The flavor of the new year in our hometown is very strong. Every household makes dumplings and meatballs. On the morning of the first day of the new year, I will take Sunan from house to house to pay New Year’s greetings. A few auspicious words will be exchanged. Come get a bag of candy.

Every year I return with a full load, and over time, Sunan realized that I used him as a candy storage machine.

After Sunan found out, he confiscated my candies cruelly, and only gave me a few of them under my begging.When I secretly scolded him for being skinny and a cold-blooded animal, he smiled faintly: "I'm doing it for your own good."

Not long after, the second baby next door developed tooth decay from eating too much candy, and when she rolled on the ground in pain, I finally understood Sunan's good intentions.

benefactor!
"Are you really going to abandon Sunan?" Fang Xiaojing's voice came faintly, "Helping Zhou Chengguang with his homework and playing around with you, I think this is his bottom line. Now you still have to accompany Zhou Chengguang for the new year. Seriously , I think Sunan will only have two reactions when he knows that you are going to spend the New Year with Zhou Chengguang."

I leaned over and asked nervously, "What's the reaction?"

Fang Xiaojing raised her finger and shook it: "First, kill you; second, beat you to death cruelly."

Me: "..." I shouldn't have listened to Fang Xiaojing's nonsense.

But what she said was not unreasonable. It seemed unfair to Sunan that I did this. Not long ago, he asked me whether he should buy some fireworks to go to his hometown before the Chinese New Year.

Alas, distress.

A few people chatted at my house for a while, Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong said goodbye, and Sunan was going to go back when it was getting late.After thinking about it, I realized that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, so I simply gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, and told him it was over.

If you want to kill or cut, come quickly.

"Su Nan, I have something to tell you." I said weakly.

Sunan had already walked to the door, but when he heard the words, he turned around and came back, looking at me with a half-smile: "You have been hesitant to speak all night, and if I don't leave, how can I force you to speak?"

I opened my mouth, so he knew all about it.

"You can hide it from me with your little thought? Didn't you go to Zhou Chengguang's house to get a gift before? Did he say something?"

He really guessed right.

I lowered my head and wrung my fingers, groaning and groaning for a long time, and stammered: "Zhou Chengguang's father promised to accompany him for the New Year, but he let him go, and then I was in a hurry, so..."

Silence, silence.

After a while, Sunan's slightly hoarse voice with a smile sounded: "So, you promise him to spend the New Year with him?"

I looked up at him, there was no smile in his eyes, the corners of his eyes were tight, like sharpened blades, which made my heart tremble.

"I……"

"Really?" he asked me word by word.

I was discouraged, my shoulders slumped, and I nodded: "Yes."

"Very good." Sunan smiled, but his eyes were icy, "Then you celebrate the New Year with Zhou Chengguang, and I will go back by myself. As for those broken fireworks, I will throw them away when I get home."

Has he already bought fireworks behind my back?
I tried to chase him, but he was already striding away.I knew that I would bear his anger if I said it, but I knew it was the same thing. When I really experienced it, my heart was twisted like a twist.

uncomfortable.

I called Fang Xiaojing, the dog-headed military strategist: "Su Nan is angry."

"Did you really say that?" Fang Xiaojing at the other end was very surprised, "I admire your courage. Did Sunan beat you up, did he want to break up with you, did he want you to spit out all the food he gave you before?" ?”

I was depressed: "Don't laugh at me."

Fang Xiaojing's teasing tone suddenly became serious: "Hu Le, if you lose something, you gain something. There is nothing perfect in the world. Since you decided to help Zhou Chengguang, you have to give up something."

"Anyway, it's done now. What you say is like poured water. You can't change it even if you want to. Try to communicate with the squad leader. He is not unreasonable." Fang Xiaojing is like a confidant elder sister.

After hanging up the phone, I told my parents about it.

My mother didn't say anything after hearing this, but my father was a little worried: "It's good to accompany the child, but there are other ways. You can let him follow us to the hometown. How lively the hometown is."

I said in a low voice: "Dad, he is not in good health, and he can't be exhausted."

Dad paused, sighed, said "poor kid", and patted me on the shoulder: "Father supports you, that kid Chengguang is sensible and good-looking, why should he suffer like that?"

My mother went to the storage room for a while without saying a word, and came out with big bags and small bags: "The child gave us so many valuables last time, and we didn't return the gift. You go to his house for the New Year, and take these with you by the way." past."

My throat felt astringent: "Mom and Dad, you are so kind."

"Don't be sentimental with me." My mother waved her hand impatiently, "You don't have to go, it saves those relatives from giving you red envelopes, lest I have to pay back the gift."

I:"……"

My dad asked, "Does Sunan know if you don't go back to your hometown for the New Year?"

"Hey." My mother sneered, "I guess I know. Look at your daughter's face, it's more bitter than a bitter melon, and only when she offends Sunan, can she be this ghostly."

I burst into tears.

My mother continued to hit me hard: "In the past, you all celebrated the New Year together, but this year you abandoned him. If he forgives you so easily, I will cut off my head and play it for you."

In the next few days, Sunan was nowhere to be seen. He used to run to my house quite frequently before the usual years.

While I was helping my mother pack the luggage, I looked out the window frequently. My mother sneered: "Don't look at it, you won't see a flower if you look at it again. It's right to let you abandon others."

"Mom, are you my real mother?" I wanted to cry but had no tears.

"No." My mother replied firmly.

My dad came down from upstairs with his luggage, and handed me a stack of money, with a worried look on his face: "Daughter, can you do it alone? Why don't you think about it again? We won't be back until the eighth day of the lunar new year."

"How old is she, can't she take care of herself?" My mother was big-hearted, "You just babble, it's because you and Sunan are too spoiled for her that she looks like a mentally handicapped child."

My mother rubbed my hair rudely: "Even if you celebrate the New Year in someone else's house, you must be polite, don't sleep until you wake up, don't eat too much, don't eat too much, take care of others, don't be angry with them, Also don't drive people crazy, especially don't set off firecrackers, I heard that people with heart disease can't be scared, so don't scare people into a bad situation."

I nodded again and again, feeling even more sad, my mother cared more about Zhou Chengguang than me.

My dad looked at the time: "Honey, it's almost time, it's time to go, or I won't be able to catch the train later."

I urged them to leave quickly, and sent them outside the door, where I ran into Sunan's family.

In fact, this is not a coincidence, because the two families had originally discussed going back together. Sunan was carrying a small suitcase in his hand and a schoolbag on his back, looking at me indifferently.

When Su's mother and Su's father learned that I would not go back with them, it was a pity for a while, and now they asked again: "Lele, are you really not going back with us?"

I smiled: "You have a good trip, call me when you arrive."

"Parents, uncles and aunts, it's getting late, let's go." Sunan who hadn't spoken all this time suddenly spoke, and he walked past me without looking at me.

Not long after they left, I closed the door and planned to pack some simple clothes. Uncle Zhou would come to pick me up in the evening.

After packing up the clothes, I checked the big and small bags I gave to Zhou Chengguang. Finally, I really had nothing to do, so I turned on the TV and turned up the volume to the maximum.

But my heart is still so empty, there seems to be a hole in the bottom of my heart, I just feel the wind whizzing.

I was restless at home. Around three o'clock, someone knocked on the door vigorously, and there was a bang bang bang sound, as if the door of my house was about to be demolished.

Uncle Zhou shouldn't be so violent, right?

If it's Chinese New Year's Eve, maybe it's a robbery, or a thief?Thieves are usually sneaky, not so bold and arrogant, right?

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat nervously, and deliberately shouted: "Mom, Dad."

General emergency common sense tells us that when encountering suspicious persons, try to pretend that there is someone in the family.

But this trick failed. Listening to the non-stop knocking on the door, I picked up the broom beside me, planning to give the opponent a thunderous blow the moment I opened the door.

The door opened, and when I saw that familiar face, my broom was suspended in mid-air, and I froze in place in a ridiculous posture.

Su Nan was taken aback by me, took a step back, and frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

His growl brought me back from my thoughts, I threw the broom and patted my beating heart: "I just want to ask you, shouldn't you be on the train now, why are you still here?"

I thought about it again: "Did you forget to bring something important?"

He took a breath and looked at me intently.

Because of his running, his hair stood up in a mess. In the winter, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his eyes were as bright as stars after being washed with water.

He said word by word: "Yes, I forgot to bring an important thing."

"What? You can call and ask me to send it to you."

He smiled: "Unless she packs herself."

I didn't realize it all at once, he had passed me and entered the living room.

I hurried to catch up: "Su Nan, what do you mean? What did you forget to take? How do you go back now and buy a ticket again?"

"Pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst." Sunan sat on the sofa and took something at random to fan himself.I withdrew my stomach full of doubts and poured him a glass of water.

Sunan took the water glass, raised his head and drank it in one breath, put down the water glass, and said flatly, "I'm not leaving."

"Huh?" I dug my ears, feeling that I was so frightened by him, my ears seemed to be ringing, and my mind was confused.

"I said I'm not going." Sunan looked directly at me, "Do you understand?"

"Why?" I mumbled, "Could it be because of me..."

Before I finished speaking, the doorbell rang, and the knock on the door was much gentler this time, and Sunan motioned for me to open the door.

The door opened, and it was Uncle Zhou.

"Hu Le, I'm here to pick you up. Are your parents at home? I brought some New Year's goods over."

I said sheepishly, "They've already left."

"What a coincidence..." Uncle Zhou walked in with big bags and small bags, and was startled when he saw Sunan sitting on the sofa, "Su Nan, why didn't you go back?"

Su Nanqi took what was in Uncle Zhou's hand considerately, and smiled slightly: "After discussing with Hu Le, I decided to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Chengguang."

And I'm already a little confused by Monk Zhang Er.

When we arrived at the villa where Zhou Chengguang lived, he saw Sunan and I standing at the door, his expression changed, but he recovered quickly and greeted us with a smile.

When Sunan passed him by, he smiled and asked, "Why, I'm not welcome?"

"How come?" Zhou Chengguang's face remained normal.

"It's better." Sunan snorted softly.

Uncle Zhou was very happy along the way. After sending our things upstairs, he went to the kitchen to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Sunan and I wanted to help, but Uncle Zhou politely refused.

The three of us sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. There were lively programs on the TV, but the atmosphere between the three of us was a bit weird.

I rubbed my hands together: "Hey, how about I tell you a joke?"

"Need not."

"No need."

Sunan and Zhou Chengguang said in unison, and my face collapsed: "Oh."

The proposal to tell a bad joke came to an end. Sunan and Zhou Chengguang sat on the sofa without saying a word. I was a little restless, so I simply got up: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

"Sit down." The two ordered again in unison.

I want to cry but have no tears, I said what exactly do you two want to do?
The sudden sound of the doorbell saved my embarrassment, and I quickly got up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a "Surprise" sound made my feet slip and I almost fell to the ground.After seeing that it was Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong, I was stunned.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't you welcome us?" Fang Xiaojing squeezed in laughingly, "We were afraid that you would eat all the delicious food, so we came here as soon as we figured it out. Zhou Chengguang, you welcome me..."

The word "men" got stuck in Fang Xiaojing's throat. She stared dumbfounded at the calm and composed Sunan, swallowed and said, "Did I get hallucinated? Why did I see the monitor?"

"I saw it too." Fang Zicong's face was heavy.

"Hehe, we still have something to do, so let's go first." Fang Xiaojing pulled Fang Zicong to escape, but Sunan behind him coughed lightly, and they immediately stood at attention, daring not to move.

Sunan got up slowly, walked in front of me, and smiled slightly: "It's so crowded, isn't it?"

Alas, this year, it feels a bit mysterious.

Uncle Zhou prepared a large table of dishes, I was gearing up, and Sunan patted my head: "Take it easy, your saliva is about to flow down."

After everyone took their seats, Uncle Zhou said: "I am really happy and touched to have you all accompany the young master to celebrate the New Year this year. Uncle Zhou respects you with this toast."

Sunan also raised his glass with a smile: "It should be us thanking Uncle Zhou for cooking us a good meal."

In terms of being a human being, Sunan definitely respects the old and loves the young in front of others.

"Don't thank me, come and thank me, let's toast together, cheer." Fang Zicong raised his glass excitedly.

Fang Xiaojing gave him a blank look: "Brother, it's Cheers."

After dinner, it was still early, we helped Uncle Zhou clean up the dishes and prepared to set off fireworks.

Uncle Zhou is too old to participate in the New Year's Eve activities of us juniors.

There is an observation deck on the third floor of the villa. From a distance, you can see the rolling hills in the night, but when I approached, I couldn't help shivering, and the next moment, my eyes went dark.

As soon as I took off the things covering my eyes, I heard Sunan whisper: "Wrap around."

Holding the scarf, I leaned over and bumped his arm: "Hey, Sunan, I want to talk to you."

Sunan didn't suspect him, and approached me. The moment he approached, I stood on tiptoe, put the other half of the scarf around his neck, and tied a knot.

He was slightly stunned, still looking at me in a stooped posture, the too close Qingjun face, and those dark eyes made me feel in a trance of being at a loss.In order to keep calm, I said: "This scarf is so long, you should make the best use of it and don't waste it."

Hearing this, he gave a soft "um", with joy and tenderness in his eyes.He took a step forward, and said calmly: "Little short legs, follow up quickly, so as not to strangle me to death."

"Who do you say has short legs? This is the second time you have said that my legs are short! I just measured them last time, and they are all over one meter."

Sunan chuckled lightly: "The legs of about one meter are not short?"

I:"……"

"What are you two talking about? Come here quickly." Fang Xiaojing urged.

When we passed, Fang Xiaojing and Fang Zicong had already prepared the fireworks, and they started to set off the fireworks when Zhou Chengguang came out.

Soon Zhou Chengguang came out, he changed his clothes, I looked at his thin clothes, I couldn't help persuading: "It's so cold outside, you still wear so little, go back and wear more."

Sunan on the side stood up suddenly, I forgot that he and I were grasshoppers on the same rope, as soon as he moved, Zhou Chengguang saw the scarf that carried the heavy responsibility.

Zhou Chengguang's eyes darkened, and after a few seconds he smiled and said, "I'm not cold."

"Fireworks." Sunan took a few fairy sticks from Fang Xiaojing and stuffed them into my hand, "Don't worry about those that are there or not."

Zhou Chengguang: "..."

Except for Zhou Chengguang and Sunan, the three of us had a great time playing with fireworks. I felt that the scarf was restricting my steps, so I took it off and said to Sunan, "I'll go over there to set off fireworks with Fang Xiaojing."

"Come back." Sunan grabbed my hat, and I backed up, almost sitting on him, recovering from the shock, he had already calmly removed the scarf around his neck, and wrapped it around me carefully.

His body temperature remained on the scarf, falling on my neck, like a micro current, directly hitting the bottom of my heart.

Zhou Chengguang on the side coughed lightly and reminded me: "Sister, watch the fireworks."

I took advantage of the situation to look up, and a firework exploded in front of our eyes, instantly scattered into countless broken stars, and disappeared completely after a few seconds.

In the momentary silence, Sunan approached me, his face was too close to me, his long eyelashes almost touched me, and there were reflections of fireworks in the distance in his eyes.In my daze, Sunan lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Happy New Year."
