Chapter 81: The Rain, the Man, the Night

On Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the indispensable dumplings and the boring Spring Festival Gala, the most talked-about but difficult to describe is actually the New Year's Celebration.

The family stayed up and didn't sleep, just waiting for the bell to ring in the middle of the night. No one can say exactly what they are keeping. There are also people named Shou Sui, and they sleep after guarding themselves.

For example, Lao Gu.

Another example......

"Huh~Er~~Huh~Er~~"

"Hmph~Hmm~~~Hmm~~"

"Huh~he~huh~huh~"

In Ziyuan's living room, the TV that was moved out was playing the Spring Festival Gala, and the host's voice and three different snoring sounds were intertwined, making the two women who were chatting with black lines.

On the side of the two, on the side-by-side sofa that had been adjusted in order to keep the New Year together, three men, two old and one young, were leaning together in a good posture of brothers, snoring louder and louder.

"These three people, it's really ......"

Lan Yu couldn't laugh or cry on his face, he raised his finger for a long time and didn't know who to point at, and finally pointed hatefully on Xiao Gu's forehead, causing the latter to mumble.

"This man, no matter how old he is, is the same!"

Shen Mei got up with a smile and pinched Lao Xin's thigh on the far right, and the latter's snoring immediately rose as sharp as a chick's crowing, and then looked up blankly with sleepy eyes.

"Go back to your room and go to sleep!"

Shen Mei smacked him angrily, and the latter exhaled a long breath, and after probably coming to his senses, he got up honestly, muttering words that no one could hear clearly, and walked towards the guest room in a daze.

"You, you will bully Lao Xin, your Lao Xin is also real, let you bully like this!"

Lan Yu patted her lightly, and her words were full of envy. Then she also followed her example and ran to the left to pinch Lao Gu, but as soon as the latter's snoring stopped, there was an angry complaint and cold snort every few seconds.

Shen Mei covered her mouth and snickered, and the moment she lowered her head, her eyes swept over Xiao Gu, who was still snoring, but she found that the corners of this product's mouth also flashed with a smile.

"Poof~"

Shen Mei hurriedly turned her face away, almost laughing.

Thinking about it, Xiao Gu was either pulled by his mother's ears and tried on all kinds of clothes this day, or he was inked by his father to play chess and cards for a while, and with his cheerful personality, pretending to be asleep was relieved.

After a while, when Lan Yu woke up the big and the small, he rushed to the room to sleep, and chased after Xiao Gu to remember to drink water before going to bed, then he shook his head and came back, and said to Shen Mei as if complaining: "These two masters, their temper is like a mold carved out!"

"I think Xiaochuan has a very good personality and is very sensible!"

Shen Mei smiled and pulled her arm, and the two sat back on the sofa, muttering and whispering, bursting out laughing from time to time.

At this time, Gu Qianchuan, who was still sleepy-eyed and yelling not to bother him, was instantly awake as soon as he returned to the room.

Quickly took off the velvet pajamas on his body, put on warm clothes and thick cotton clothes, and tiptoed to open the window.

In the courtyard outside the house, Liu Feng, who had not known where to hide all day, had already appeared, holding on to a ladder and waiting. Hearing the sound of the window, he first made a silent gesture and hurriedly trotted closer.

The clock hadn't struck midnight yet, and the neon lights were still flashing, but most of the residential areas had quieted down.

It is said that it is the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, and there are few people who can really keep their eyes open until dawn.

The hazy drizzle in Xiuzhou kept falling, and the air was full of cold.

Su Yue held an umbrella and stood outside a characteristic homestay near the water by the moat, looking at the dim overhead light in the courtyard stupidly. In the window with cut flowers under the lamp, a family of three can be vaguely seen talking and laughing on the TV.

She stood here for a long time, and from the sound of firecrackers in this courtyard, she stood motionless at the entrance of the alley, which could only be seen from a distance and was not easy to detect.

Under the riverside tree behind her, 200 meters away, Li Xu, who forgot to bring an umbrella and was soaked, trembled and worried.

This kind of ghost weather, even a big man like him can't resist it, if she's a weak woman lying here, don't care?

At this time, there was a vibration in the side pocket of the body. took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and Li Xu was shocked.

None of this matters!

On the highway from the magic capital to Xiuzhou, the road surface that was empty due to Chinese New Year's Eve suddenly sounded loudly. A silver-grey Aston Martin was now at full power, roaring through the night.

On the co-pilot, a certain rich second-generation who has always been driving for stability is abnormal, and keeps urging Liu Feng to speed up.

"Boss, we're going to fly soon!

"Tsk, you can't do it, I think there is still room for optimization! You haven't opened as fast as Su Yue last time!"

Gu Qianchuan looked disdainful, and even launched a round of doubts about his professionalism, which made Liu Feng hate to pull off the steering wheel and smash him in the face.

I hate this kind of goods that I can't do and beep blindly to others.

"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, it's going to ring the bell later, what a pity to miss it!"

Hurry up, the bell is still ringing on time.

Xiuzhou is different from the magic capital, and the antique town retains many characteristic buildings of the old Jiangnan. At the moment of the arrival of the New Year, there are bells in the ancient pagoda temple on the low mountain in the northwest to come from time and space.

"Knock~~~......"

Su Yue turned her head slightly and looked in the direction where the bell came from. In the courtyard in front of her, a boy much younger than Xiao Gu lit firecrackers hanging on the shelves and trotted back into the house. By the open foyer, a woman in a red jacket smiled and grabbed his arm and wiped the rain from his hair.

As she pushed her son into the house, the woman suddenly frowned and turned her head to look at the south alley.

It was dark in the drizzling night, and the alleyway was empty, except for the sound of firecrackers in the distance, echoing under the night sky.

Su Yue held the umbrella and walked back quickly, while raising her hand to cover her mouth, controlling herself from making a sound. It's just the sound of footsteps stepping on the bluestone pavement, just like someone's mood.

Turn the corner, and the footsteps stop.

In front of the landscape bridge, a young man wearing a checkered scarf and forgetting to bring an umbrella like Li Xu was standing in the smoke and rain with a smile, with his back to the white wall of Biwa, looking at her and smirking.

Su Yue froze in place, her breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment, and only the man in front of her was left in the whole world.

Well, in fact, before she appeared, Gu Qianchuan had just finished scolding Li Xu, and he didn't remind him even if he knew it was raining. The latter stared at Liu Feng with a black face and wet hair. When they heard the footsteps approaching, several people didn't have time to hide, the former put on a chic pose in an instant, and the latter two trotted into the alley on the side.

"Whew~~"

He took a deep breath fiercely, and a white breath exhaled from Su Yue's mouth. She endured it for a long time, but tears still fell from the corners of her eyes and smashed the stone pavement.

So in the next second, the woman who didn't care about anything in the rain and was used to showing her coldness and ability suddenly threw the umbrella in her hand, rushed to the little man standing in front of her, and hugged him fiercely.

"Tsk~"

In the dark alley to the northeast, two tall and obscene figures took a few steps back into the shadows again, and one of them muttered.

"You say, are we going to change the boss lady?"

Li Xu didn't answer, his eyes reluctantly glanced at the umbrella that was turned on the ground in the distance, and wiped the rain on his face and shivered again.

The night in Xiuzhou is so cold!
