The aroma of hot pot began to spread throughout the kitchen, and the tip of the nose was full of familiar spicy smells. Miao Miao retracted her gaze and looked intently at the slowly ingredients in front of her.

"Miao Miao, if you ......"

"Let's serve the food. Miao Miao interrupted Mu Ningyuan's words, "You always serve the plates, right?" ”

She wiped down the cooker that had been placed on the stove before the housekeeper left, and walked to the table with her hands in her hands.

In Mujia, basically induction cookers are indeed something that is rarely used. If Miao Miao hadn't thought of eating hot pot today, it is estimated that this induction cooker would only be rusty in the utility room.

An abundance of ingredients fills the table. Miao Miao brought out all kinds of seasonings from the kitchen and put them on the table, and Mu Ningyuan suddenly spoke: "Don't you take pictures and post on Weibo?"

Miao Miao's Weibo has been idle for a long time, and she has been more and more low-key recently, and even some netizens simply ran to Mu's official blog and shouted that Mu Youyou has eaten dog food recently!

"Do you want to appear together once?" Miao Miao asked.

"Okay. He couldn't ask for it.

Miao Miao didn't find where her mobile phone was for a while, so she simply took the iPad on the coffee table and took a photo.

Take a selfie with abundant hot pot ingredients in the background. Mu Ningyuan was originally looking at the camera with Miao Miao's face, the smile on his face was very shallow, and he could only see that his eyes were soft, but at the moment when Miao Miao pressed to take a picture, Mu Ningyuan somehow suddenly raised his hand and pressed Miao Miao's head, letting her lean on his shoulder, the two acted intimately, and Mu Ningyuan's eyes were even more obviously gentle, softening his whole facial expression.

Miao Miao maintained that qualified smile throughout the whole process. After taking pictures, she immediately raised her head and looked at Mu Ningyuan.

He didn't make a sound, nor did he express any opinion on Mu Ningyuan's actions just now, just looked at him.

Mu Ningyuan took the ipad casually, and Weibo automatically logged in to Miao Miao's account, there were many @ in the private messages, Mu Ningyuan skipped it directly, published a picture, with the text "Happy New Year", and then locked the screen, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and scalded a piece of hairy belly: "It's time to eat." ”

Miao Miao pursed her lips and silently picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

The two of them had a rare dinner that was silent, angry and weird, but not awkward.

Just after dinner, Mu Ningyuan suddenly received a transatlantic phone call, it seemed that there was something wrong with the company in the United States, he frowned, glanced at Miao Miao, still got up and walked towards the second floor, holding the phone and saying as he walked: "Wait for me, let's start the video." ”

Miao Miao cleaned up the table.

After packing everything up, it was almost past eight o'clock, Mu Ningyuan hadn't come out since he entered the study, and Miao Miao couldn't take the initiative to talk to him, so he also went back to his room.

One after another, the sound of fireworks began to be heard. The mobile phone on the bed kept ringing, all of which were the sound of mass blessing text messages. Miao Miao came out of the bathroom with a body of moisture, picked up her phone and put it down.

Last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, she lived alone in a five-star hotel, because she didn't dare to go home or go out to face such a festive picture, she called room service and ate a bowl of instant noodles.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve of the year before last, she lived in a nursing home, sitting with a group of people who didn't know whether they were sick or not, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and her heart was suddenly panicked.

In Chinese New Year's Eve the year before last, she tried all kinds of means to commit suicide, what kind of suicide did she do that night? It seems to be a wrist cut, right? Later, it was too painful, and the wound was not deep enough, it was Ji Bai who found out that something was wrong with her when she called her, and later sent her to the hospital......

This is the fourth year that my parents have left, and there are still three hours to go, which will be the fifth year.

She finally ate a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year that she still wanted in the true sense, with the man she originally liked, and later hated, and now has complicated feelings.

Brilliant fireworks flashed outside the window, Miao Miao raised her head and walked towards the window, holding her hands on her chest and leaning her head against the window, looking at the beauty that continued to bloom outside.

The hand involuntarily lifted and touched his soft hair, which seemed to have the temperature of Mu Ningyuan's palm.

He probably ...... Perhaps, I didn't hate her as much as I did at the beginning.

I don't know when it started, it seems that the two can no longer go toe-to-toe like they did at the beginning, Mu Ningyuan is becoming more and more indulgent to her, she is not unfeeling.

He was pampering her, in the form of a man to a woman.

The mobile phone rang again, just pulling Miao Miao's wandering thoughts back, and when she looked at the time, she unknowingly reached eleven o'clock.

In the group that applied for the accounting class before, someone shared a book, saying that he benefited a lot after reading it. Miao Miao squinted at the title of the book, remembering that she seemed to have seen this book in Mu Ningyuan's study.

I don't know if Mu Ningyuan has slept or not? Hengzhu She is not sleepy now, it is better to find a book to pass the time.

Although she knew that this was just an excuse for herself, Miao Miao calmly put down her phone and walked towards the study with her feet raised.

The door of the study was not closed tightly, it was slightly open, Miao Miao gently pushed it open, and found that the light inside was very dim.

Mu Ningyuan sat on the chair in front of the desk, his elbows propped up on the armrests of the chair, his head tilted slightly, his fingers supporting his cheeks, and he seemed to be asleep.

Miao Miao paused, and couldn't help but lighten her steps.

** stepped on the soft Persian carpet on her toes, and she saw the book she was looking for on the bookshelf behind Mu Ningyuan. The thick original book, Miao Miao doubted that with her English skills, she could understand the essence of this book.

Gently pulling out the famous book, Miao Miao tilted her head slightly and looked at Mu Ningyuan.

The warm light cast soft shadows on his cheeks, his thin lips pursed slightly, his brows frowned slightly, and he didn't know if he was sleeping unsteadily.

She remembered the first time she met Mu Ningyuan in college, he seemed to be like this, he came to school to give a speech, I don't know if it was because he was tired or what, he fell asleep in the lounge backstage.

At that time, she was just a little-known student, and she didn't even enter the student union, but because of her good friendship with the president, she got a convenient place to be able to enter and leave freely.

Seeing that Ning Yuan was mistaken for life, it was Lin Qian's words that made fun of Miao Miao at that time.

At that time, she was still a child, with a simple temperament, and it was too normal to be attracted to a bright creature like Mu Ningyuan.

Mu Ningyuan must not remember, because she was helping in the background, when she was in a hurry to step on the air, he also pulled her to avoid the embarrassment of falling and eating.

He doesn't remember anything.

But she still remembered, remembered the heartbeat feeling at that time, his careless eyes, and the bearing of that cold nobleman.

Motivation is only a matter of moments. Miao Miao sometimes thinks that if so many things don't happen after that, maybe her ignorant liking for him will eventually dissipate with the passage of time and the gradual enrichment of her experience.

But the world is impermanent.

He became an accomplice in helping the murderer get away with it, standing against her.

The more happy she was about his feelings at the beginning, the more she tortured her later.

Whenever she thought that the person she was excited about at the beginning was one of the driving forces that put her in such a desperate situation, she felt, Mu Ningyuan, I am really blind.

But she still didn't expect it after all.

Even after so many years, even if the hatred for him deepens every time, it can't withstand all of it, and he has a gentle look.

Miao Miao, how can you wash away the hatred in your heart so easily? For you, the grievances of your parents are no better than a man's affection?
