Chapter Twenty-Nine: Romantic Fireworks Embrace Each Other in the Rain
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. From the morning, you can hear the noisy sound of firecrackers at the entrance of the alley and the laughter of children.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an's house was not as deserted as usual, his grandmother and aunts came together, and his mother had three younger brothers, so when they arrived, the family was suddenly much more lively. The family had a reunion dinner, talking and laughing, and they were very happy.
The adults were drinking and chatting at the table, Chang An was naturally not interested in listening, and after dinner, he nestled on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
"Zizi" mobile phone vibrates.
Chang An opened it and saw that there were several unread messages in his inbox. She opened them one by one, and replied one by one, all of which were New Year's blessings. There were Ji Li sent it, Zhao Jian sent it, and her classmates sent it.
After replying one by one, she edited a new short message, simply typed the words "Happy New Year", and then found Gu Li's phone number and sent it out.
She stood by the window, looking out the window at the bright fireworks, how did he spend Chinese New Year's Eve? Or is he alone and lonely? Suddenly, she couldn't bear it.
"Uncle~" Chang An hugged his uncle and hugged him.
"What do you want to do, little girl?" The eldest uncle's face was flushed because of the drinking, but there was an endless smile on his face, and his tone was doting.
"Uncle lend me your car, I'm going to go out. Chang An spread out his hands and looked at each other with a smile.
"Where are you going this big night?" Chang Mei asked her.
"Yes...... Something...... Chang An replied with a smile, a little weak in her words, but why she was weak, even she didn't know.
"It's so late, what can you do? Can't you go again tomorrow?"
It's no wonder that Chang Mei, as a mother, she is always worried about her children.
"Uh......" Chang An didn't know what to say.
"I said sister, Chang An is a big girl, you still care so much, today Chinese New Year's Eve, this little clever ghost must have asked a friend to play together." "Uncle helped with the round.
Chang An nodded again and again, pecked his uncle on the face, and said with a smile: "Uncle is the best." ”
The uncle handed the car keys to Chang An, and finally instructed: "Slow down on the road and come back early, otherwise your mother will be worried." ”
"Got it. As soon as Chang An took the key, he couldn't wait to run out of the house.
Right now, although it is dark, the streets are still very lively, everyone has a big smile on their faces, and you can hear the sound of fireworks in the alleys.
Chang'an walked all the way, drove out of the street, and headed for the winding mountain road. Looking sideways, there are gorgeous fireworks in the distance, blooming in the air, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
After a few bends along the road, Chang An drove into a trail and stopped halfway up the mountain. She opened the door and got out of the car, and the surroundings were dark and quiet, in stark contrast to the lights and noise of thousands of homes in the distance. Here, only the villa shone a little light.
She opened the trunk and pulled out a basket of fireworks, which she had bought at the entrance of the alley when she went out. She held the things and knocked on the door of the villa. But the owner inside didn't seem to hear it, and didn't come to open the door.
Chang An called him again, but he didn't answer.
Chang An looked at the huge villa, which still stood alone on the mountainside, just like when she first came here to work part-time.
She looked in the direction of the second floor, the light inside was on, he must be at home, Chang An thought.
The fireworks are also a little heavy in the end, and after holding it for a while, Chang An felt a little sore. She lightly placed the fireworks on the ground, then placed them one by one in the open space, lined them up, and lit them with a lighter.
In the next second, fireworks filled the night sky.
Finally, the owner inside heard the noise, opened the door, and the long figure came out of it.
Chang An saw the shadow on the ground that was getting closer and closer, and turned around with a smile: "Great God, Happy New Year." ”
She stood under the brilliant fireworks with a sweet smile.
Gu Li raised his eyes, his dark pupils were covered with fireworks, as if there were bright stars flashing in his eyes.
The fireworks exploded just above her head, dazzling.
Gu Li's heart moved, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes. He approached slowly, standing with Chang An under the bright fireworks, casting two shadows, one long and one short, on the ground.
"Look, isn't it beautiful?" Chang An pointed to the colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky, and his smile grew.
Gu Li looked sideways, she was enjoying the fireworks, and he was smiling at her.
However, such a romantic atmosphere only lasted for a few seconds, and after a moment of silence, he reached out to cover his mouth and nose, and said: "This thing is just a mixture of sulfur, charcoal powder, and potassium nitrate, which is useless and noisy, and the smell is still unpleasant...... I really don't understand why you like it. ”
"Great God, you still don't speak, the good atmosphere has been ruined by you. Chang An was a little speechless, she also remembered that he was lonely and pitiful for Chinese New Year's Eve alone, and kindly came to accompany him to set off fireworks, even if he didn't appreciate it, as soon as he spoke, it was too chilling.
Gu Li glanced at her, but really didn't speak again, the two of them stood quietly in the night, looking at the fireworks rain in the sky.
Half an hour later, the fireworks burned out, and the peace in front of me returned to the beginning.
Chang An hugged Gu Li sideways and said again: "Happy New Year." ”
"What are you doing?" Gu Li was stunned by the sudden embrace.
"A kind of etiquette, a friend's blessing to you, you know?" Chang An replied very calmly, of course, she really thought so. The two had worked together before, and she couldn't bear him to be alone. This sentence "Happy New Year" can be regarded as a kind of wish she has for him.
Gu Li was silent, but it seemed that he still liked the temperature of this embrace.
"Alright, it's getting late, I should go back. Chang An waved at him, about to turn away.
Before she left, Gu Li opened his arms and hugged her back into his arms, but in just a moment, he let go again.
This time, Chang Chang was stunned.
"Thank you. ”
A deep voice sounded in Chang An's ears.
She smiled: "We're all friends, you're welcome." ”
With that, she turned around in a dashing manner, and after taking a few steps, she turned around and waved at him: "Goodbye." ”
He looked at Chang An's distant back, and it wasn't until she disappeared into the night that he turned around and entered the villa.
Gu Li stood by the window on the second floor, looking into the distance, and could vaguely see the lights in the distance.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the brilliant fireworks, a brief hug, came to mind, making this year's Chinese New Year's Eve a little warmer.
A smile appeared on his lips that he hadn't even noticed, and he turned around and lay down in the big bed, sleeping peacefully.
What lingers in my sleep is finally no longer darkness, but infinite light......
