The wind chimes made a crisp collision sound, which reminded He Manzhou's thoughts.

She originally had no expectations for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and her only relatives were no longer around, that is, she wanted to reunite with her family, and there was no such opportunity, what could she look forward to? Who knows that it is willow and bright, He Manzhou was actually pulled out by Bai Yicong like this, and such an extraordinarily high-configuration dating experience can be regarded as a somewhat unexpected surprise.

This is an experience He Manzhou has never had, and in addition to the excitement of spending the festival with the people he likes, there is also a deeper joy. After He Sheng's disappearance, she is not a little cabbage that no one loves and no one loves, and there are still people who care about her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

At least there is Bai Yicong, or rather, she is at least loved.

He Manzhou slowly digested these emotions, and as the sky became darker and darker, the crowd of people who were guarding the time to prepare for the New Year's Eve became more and more lively.

Even in resorts in the secluded suburbs, crowds of people set off fireworks.

He Manzhou looked at the laughter outside through the transparent glass window, and in a trance it seemed to be back to the most lively time in the small courtyard house of the He family, when children could often be seen holding fireworks sticks and two kicks in their hands, laughing and lighting the long twist of fire, and then quickly hid to the side, covering the tips of their ears that were frozen red and giggling. Even just watching the fireworks in the sky and listening to the unstoppable sound of firecrackers have gradually integrated into the festive atmosphere.

"Come on, Bai Yicong, don't patronize and peel shrimp for me, I toast you. ”

Probably because the strength of the wine has come up a little, He Manzhou is not as shy and reserved as at the beginning, she picked up the wine glass as she spoke, touched it lightly on the rim of Bai Yicong's glass, and then continued.

"Before I knew it, it had been a year, although we hadn't known each other for long, but now we are New Year's Eve together, and rounding up can be regarded as sharing the joys and sorrows of the past year, and spending a whole year. Besides, the feelings between people are not measured only by time, why is the most rare feeling is "together through the window, together with the gun", it is because of getting along day and night, plus life and death depend on each other, such as the two of us. ”

"The two of us?" Bai Yicong asked with an eyebrow.

"yes, it's just the two of us, no problem at all. He Manzhou deserved to be generous, and continued to talk unashamedly, "Didn't you just say how dangerous the treasure of the Relict King is? This is the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and it is an exotic evil god, I didn't even think about these things before I met you, they simply exceed the cognitive level of normal human beings." Now that I have not only met it, but I also have to face it with you, isn't it also a kind of getting along day and night and relying on life and death. ”

Bai Yicong's words about being a girl made sense, and he didn't refute it if it didn't make sense.

And He Manzhou looked at Bai Yicong with a smile, and very unceremoniously took the silence at the moment as a default, and said it more vigorously.

"So, we have both, and of course this relationship is not ordinary. He Manzhou held the wine glass, his beautiful big eyes were slightly bent, "I don't know how to say toasts or anything, like this...... It's all in the wine, I'm done. ”

Bai Yicong's lips hooked a little, and he deeply felt that Miss He was really a talent.

Where is this not saying a toast, this is completely the standard version of the toast that Crazy Boy has seen too much, and ordinary people can't say it. So much so that it was obviously a small glass of plum wine, but she was stunned by her that the big brother in the Northeast who was the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right was holding a big bowl in his hand, and stood in a row in front of the statue of Guan Gong and was about to bow down, which really made people feel funny and helpless.

But looking at the girl's delicate face outlined by the dim yellow light, her slender fingers held the small ice cracked wine cup, and her bright and beautiful eyes were shining, and she smiled very movingly. Her smile was so beautiful that Bai Yicong couldn't say a word that ruined her fun.

So he didn't say much, kept his usual silence, and rarely didn't make any jokes, just lightly clinked glasses with her.

"Good. ”

The plum wine is sweet in the mouth and has a pleasant aftertaste.

The clear yellow liquid is particularly beautiful under the light, He Manzhou raised his glass and took a sip, the faint plum flavor was entangled in the tip of the tongue, the hot liquid flowed down the throat, and the atmosphere at the moment was also a little more ambiguous under the catalysis of alcohol.

There was a deep and nice voice from Bai Yicong's ears, and the man's cold gaze carried an undetectable warmth.

"Happy Chinese New Year. ”

"Well, Happy New Year, good luck!" He Manzhou's witty words came as soon as he opened his mouth, and said with a grin, "I'm afraid that there will be too many blessings on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you won't see my greetings." I'm afraid that the firecrackers on the first day of junior high school will be too loud, and you won't hear my blessings. I'm afraid that the dishes in the second year of junior high school are too fragrant, and you won't see my mind. So it's safer to say these words to you in person, I'll just wish you something practical, whether it's your Bai family's affairs or my father's affairs, they will be resolved smoothly, and we will all get better and better. Also, Bai Yicong, you are not alone, at least there is me, don't be afraid. ”

Bai Yicong was almost amused by He Manzhou's usual businessman's cliché.

Whenever this passage is edited into a text message and sent to others, it will be deleted directly as a group text message with one click, who knows that Miss He actually said it without blushing or panting, plus the ending is also combined with the actual sublimation theme, which can't help but make him dumbfounded, and has a deeper understanding of the little girl's MLM skills.

Probably to save some face for Miss He, Bai Yicong couldn't help laughing with great restraint. Then he was silent for a moment, and then he opened his mouth in a careful tone, and asked curiously.

"Your toast from previous years is the same, well, so ....... Do you have a personal touch?"

"In previous years...... In the past, where did it take my turn to say toasts, with my father's big professor, isn't that a set of auspicious words? I want it to be difficult for him to say a few words, and he has to educate me after speaking, how dare I open my mouth. ”

"What will your father teach you?" Bai Yicong was a little curious.

"That's a lot to say, my dad's most powerful thing is that he can draw inferences from one another, a simple little thing can give you a rise to the level of a big truth in life, and he can say it head-to-head. Speaking of Lao He, He Manzhou's conversation box opened suddenly, she seemed to be talking about something new, and said with great interest, "Didn't I tell you, my father once investigated the topic of Miao Jiang, one year just because of this, he chatted with me for a few hours, and he had to tell me everything, otherwise we are still investigating what treasures of the king and the goddess are still investigating, it must be a black eye, I don't know anything." ”

Saying this, He Manzhou began to smack the words He Sheng had said again.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered Lao He's emotion back then - she couldn't understand her father's words back then, but now as she found more and more things from Bai Yicong, and then looked back and reminisced, she finally tasted a little real.

Perhaps at that time, He Sheng said that the investigation of Miao Jiang's topic selection was difficult to progress, not because there were too few clues or because the research was too difficult, but because there were too many things found, so there was a deeper level of awe. It was precisely because he found out what others didn't know, and knew that the demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and the terrible gods behind it were something that he couldn't afford to provoke, so he was so hesitant and struggling.

Otherwise, why did He Sheng clearly want to say so much, but in the end he didn't say anything?

Just as the ink and wash landscape paintings of the same literati pay attention to blank space, although He Sheng is indispensable to preach, he did not speak thoroughly at that time, but just sighed lowly, and quickly changed the topic, as if he refused to say more. Now that I think about it, is the so-called impermanence of the world a reflection of something?

Perhaps at that time, He Sheng had already spied on the secret behind the treasure of the relict king, so he sighed with the impermanence of the world.

And now if you want to explore the truth and determine the true meaning of Lao He, it is no longer possible.

First, how to go on a boat, and think about your relatives every festive season.

The reunion dinner of the He family has been a habit for many years, and He Sheng has said more than once that the meaning of the existence of the New Year Festival reminds He Manzhou to care about every bit of ritual in life, and has insisted on it for decades. But with his disappearance, these things are like a lifetime, He Sheng has always emphasized the sense of ceremony, but he doesn't know that the biggest sense of ritual in He Manzhou's heart is family reunion.

When important people are gone, formalism loses all meaning.

Last year's Spring Festival was because of Lao He's sudden disappearance, which made the big guys not in the mood to celebrate, it was originally a day for families to reunite, but in He Manzhou's home, it became an impossible luxury.

He Manzhou still remembered that at that time, Shen Chuanyuan and Gu Qi couldn't sleep all night for Lao He's affairs, and they searched the information about Wucheng over and over again I don't know how many times, just to find any clues about He Sheng's disappearance.

As for this year, if it weren't for Bai Yicong asking her out, He Manzhou would have almost forgotten that today was Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, when she said the toast, she suddenly realized that at the dinner table in previous years, it was natural to talk about the world, and where did she need special blessings to help the fun at the wine table.

When do you suddenly feel sad?

It is probably the sudden aftertaste after the passage of time, and the tossing and turning of the scene and the sadness, those sudden emotions pull the heart down, only to suddenly realize that time is tampering with the evidence of the existence of certain things. Moreover, this kind of change is not subject to the will of human beings, no matter how regretful and reluctant it is, it can only be blamed on the impermanence of the world.

Thinking of this, He Manzhou's emotions were a little complicated, she looked at Bai Yicong opposite, and sighed lowly.

Just now, it was clear that he was still excited, but now he suddenly became headless and brainless, and even his tone was low.

"My dad used to like to drink, but Lao He is a person, the amount of alcohol is not very good, and he has to be poor. Not to mention rice wine with river crabs, green plum boiled wine about heroes, even the utensils for wine have to go to the antique street to get decent, there are a lot of things. ”
