Chapter 42

A moment of bewildered emotion poured into his brain, and Jiang Chi couldn't tell what mood he was in.

She thought about it, after so long, she should be relieved, just like Xie Cun.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was a little hoarse, and tears rolled down uncontrollably. She heard her own voice say,

"Happy New Year."

Happy New Year, Dad.

Even though you have been away for so many years without saying a word, and all those gentle fatherly loves have been buried in the world like dust for so long, you can still say happy new year again in a very calm manner.

The water in the pot was tumbling, and the fat dumplings floated on the surface.

Jiang Chi scooped up the dumplings on a plate and carried them to the living room. There was still a little red mark at the end of his eyes, but no trace of tears could be seen.

She absent-mindedly opened the door under the urging of the doorbell.

The person outside was wearing a light white and blue down jacket, with short black hair covering his forehead, his eyes were pure black, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, like a butterfly flapping its wings.There were two bags of things in his hand.

Jiang Chi licked the corner of his mouth, raised his head under the cover of the induction lights in the corridor, and said,

"My mother went back to the hospital and is not here."

Xie Cun didn't seem to care, he was carrying something, his expression didn't change, the other hand that didn't hold anything rubbed her hair,
"Come to spend the New Year with you."

The man saw the plate in the living room and the bag of quick-frozen dumplings in the trash can, frowned calmly, moved the plate away, and said,
"I brought dumpling wrappers and fillings, which I prepared in advance, to help."

Jiang Chi nodded blankly, watching the other party take things out of the bag and put them on the table.

The down jacket was hung in the entrance hall. Under the warm yellow light, the man was tall and leaning on the sofa, his eyebrows and eyes gave people an illusion of gentleness.

Jiang Chi sat down and made dumplings in silence, but he still couldn't hold back and asked,
"What did you rub my head for?"

The man stopped making dumplings, and answered the wrong question,

"Have you cried?"

Jiang Chi didn't expect Xie Cun to see that she was crying, and it was like a burst balloon for a moment.

At first he was dazed, and then a sense of embarrassment and shame surfaced.

Xie Cun's inexplicable behavior today suddenly has some reasons for her.

Maybe I felt sorry for her, so let’s comfort her, maybe I felt that she was alone during the New Year and cried sadly, so I took the things to her home to accompany her during the New Year.

Jiang Chi stroked it again.

I found that in the eyes of the other party, I might be an image of secretly hiding at home crying because no one was with me during the Chinese New Year.

"..."

Xie Cun also bought fish, prawns and some vegetables, all in all.

Jiang Chi asked,

"Is Jiang Ruya not here?"

"?"

Xie Cun raised his head, his expression became a little colder,
"He's not at his house for the New Year, what is he doing here?"

Jiang Chi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Cun cooked the meals and dishes, and Jiang Chi only made a few dumplings. Although her cooking skills are good enough to keep her from starving, it is obviously not enough to make so many things.

But Xie Cun seemed to have expected it, and didn't let her into the kitchen.

Jiang Chi watched TV for a while—it should be quite a long time, but he didn't see anything in his mind.

The dishes were brought to the table by Xie Cun one after another.

He made a stew pot, and the prawns that were still in the bag just now were lying in the pot with oil on their faces.The fish was cooked as sweet and sour fish, and the sauce was drizzled on top, giving off a tantalizing aroma.
