Chapter 351: The Day Before Chinese New Year's Eve
Chinese New Year's Eveββ
In China, this is the most important festival of the year, it symbolizes the farewell to the old and the welcome to the new, and the family reunion.
Although compared with the grandeur of the past, the current New Year's flavor is becoming lighter and lighter, but when this day comes, the streets and alleys are still filled with a festive atmosphere, and every household will still put up lights to celebrate the New Year.
In other words β
The vast majority of Chinese people have worked hard all year long just to live this day.
The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, in the morning, Bai Bin, who said that he would celebrate the New Year with Liu Yanbo this year, had already rushed to the sea market.
After lunch, Yin Hanruo and Lin Xue followed Huang's mother to prepare for tomorrow's reunion year, while Liu Yanbo and Bai Bin made a pot of tea and sat on the balcony on the second floor to smoke.
On such a day, they should have been happy and happy, but in fact, the atmosphere is a little dreary.
"There are few waves. In the end, Bai Bin spoke first: "After the New Year, I want to go home, will you go back?"
The home he said was naturally that remote mountain villageβ
Qinghezhuang.
They were born in that place, they grew up there, and that is where they are rooted.
Since the last time Yin Hanruo called to say that Liu Yanbo had a psychological problem, Bai Bin could already guess what the root of the problem was, and at the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that the only way to return to normal, the brother next door who was better than his own brother, was-
Take him back to the starting point, and then have a heart-rending pain, only in this way may he be able to let go completely.
Of course, Liu Yanbo knew Bai Bin's intentions in his heart, so he didn't dare to face the latter's eyes full of hope and distress, he tried very hard to control the emotions that had been churning in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound stable enough: "I want to go to Beijing with Hanruo on the second day of the first lunar month to pay New Year's greetings, so I won't go back." β
It's a real reason, but it's also an excuse to run away from itβ
Bai Bin naturally understood, he wanted to continue to force, but in the end he couldn't say it, just sighed softly, and then said: "Bo Shao, you are married now, it's time to try to look forward." β
"I know. Liu Yanbo said helplessly: "Bin Shao, for the New Year, let's talk about something happy." β
"Hanruo and I plan to be a matchmaker for you. Liu Yanbo took the initiative to divert the topic and said, "What do you think of Sister Qingmeng?"
Bai Bin's face turned red at this sudden straightforward topic, and after a while, he twisted and said, "Miss Shangguan is very good, but I don't know her well. β
"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar, as long as you think she's good. Liu Yanbo had a smile on his face. "You are not too young, if you don't fix your own marital status, I will make decisions for you in the future. β
This is the camaraderie between them, who can make any decision for each other.
Bai Bin had no objection, and replied with a smile on his face: "That's the best, it just so happens that I don't have much time to worry about this matter." β
He was telling the truth, not perfunctory.
As the trump card of "War Dragon", Bai Bin's daily life is boring, most of his time is spent on training and missions, and there is no extra time for him to manage his personal feelings.
The organization also used to be a matchmaker for him, but he rejected it, because he didn't like this kind of arranged marriage, but now it is Liu Yanbo who proposes it, and he is happy to accept it-
For they are former neighbors, brothers today, and future family;
All the more because they have experienced the greatest pain in their lives, and only each other is left.
Liu Yanbo smiled knowingly, did not continue the topic, but looked at the gray sky, a trace of imperceptible color flashed in his eyes, and sighed lightly: "I hope it won't snow tomorrow." β
"Don't you like snowy days?" Bai Bin was a little puzzled for a moment, he still clearly remembered every scene they had spent in the snow when they were children.
"That was a long time ago. Liu Yanbo replied lightly.
Once upon a time -
He does love snow days.
He likes to run and roll in the snow with Tan Shao, like to have snowball fights, build snowmen, and like to eat icicles as popsicles......
But now, he's changed, he's become completely different.
Everyone learns to grow in the passage of time, both necessary and helpless......
Bai Bin was silent, and his eyes also looked at the sky in the distance, and he was distracted......
......
In the middle of the night, the lights of thousands of homes were already dim.
Liu Yanbo was lying on the ground bunk, with his back to Yin Hanruo lying on the bed, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet.
There was a slight restlessness and uneasiness between his brows.
"Liu Yanbo, are you asleep?" Yin Hanruo asked tentatively.
"Not yet. Listening to the cold wind howling outside the window, the restlessness between Liu Yanbo's eyebrows became more and more intense.
Hearing this, Yin Hanruo turned sideways, looked at the back of Liu Yanbo's head, and said curiously: "What did you and Brother Bai Bin talk about today when you sat on the balcony for an afternoon?"
"I talked about his marriage, and I said that we plan to be matchmakers for him and Sister Qingmeng. Liu Yanbo controlled his tone well, trying to make people feel that his mood was very stable at the moment.
Yin Hanruo smiled and said with a light smile: "Then how did Brother Bai Bin get back to you?"
He said that Sister Qingmeng was very good. Liu Yanbo replied.
"That's it~" Yin Hanruo said: "Then I'll test Qingmeng's idea another day and see if there is a chance." β
Liu Yanbo said "um" softly, and there was no follow-up.
Yin Hanruo didn't continue to talk about this topic, but asked again: "Did you only talk about this matter?"
She wished they had talked about more things, like-
Liu Yanbo has psychological problems.
This time, because Bai Yulu was officially on sale, Yin Hanruo has been very busy, but she has been worried about this matter at the same time, and for this reason, she has been sleepless for several nights.
So far, Yin Hanruo doesn't know how serious Liu Yanbo's psychological problems are, but the more she doesn't understand, the more worried she is.
At the same time, she also knows one thing very well in her heart, if there is only one person in this world who can enlighten Liu Yanbo, then this person must be Bai Bin, so she hopes that they can talk about this issue-
They really should talk.
It's just that Yin Hanruo's hopes were disappointed, and Liu Yanbo only said "um" this time, and didn't even mention that Bai Bin wanted him to go home with him.
At this time, he had closed his eyes, but there was no tiredness and peace in his expression that he was about to fall asleep, on the contrary, he seemed more restless, because his eyelashes were trembling all the time, and his body was tense.
Of course, Yin Hanruo didn't notice that her tiredness had hit, and she thought that the reason why Liu Yanbo was not even interested in talking now was because she was sleepy, so she turned off the light and said, "Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow." β
"Hmm. β
In the darkness, after Liu Yanbo said another soft "um", he completely fell into the silence of the night.
Until a certain moment, the sound of the cold wind whistling outside the window gradually plummeted, and the sound of Yin Hanruo's even breathing after falling asleep sounded in the quiet room, and Liu Yanbo's closed eyes suddenly opened......
