Chapter Sixty-Eight: So Beautiful Tonight
Cheng Xiaoyu woke up groggily at noon, feeling that he had a splitting headache, and when he opened his eyes, he felt that the snot had flowed to his lips. Cheng Xiaoyu sat up wrapped in the quilt and took out a few pieces of toilet paper, wiped them clean, felt that he was not very awake and lay down and continued to sleep.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by hunger, my stomach was empty, but my mouth had no appetite at all.
The quilt was draped and the curtains were opened, and I found that the street lights outside had been turned on, the sky was already dark, the snow was still falling, and a series of footprints could be seen on the sidewalk.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned on the phone, it was already more than six o'clock, and a few messages were received on the phone, and they were all flipped through casually, wishing the New Year, Cheng Xiaoyu also picked out a word that was quite interesting, chose to send it in groups, and then left the phone where it didn't matter.
I picked up the hotel landline, dialed the front desk, and wanted to order food. I was told by a gentle voice that the kitchen will be off at three o'clock today, and now there are only instant noodles, do you need it?
Cheng Xiaoyu was really scared to eat instant noodles in his previous life, so he didn't hesitate to say thank you, and hung up the phone.
On such a special day and in such a scene, if you want to put aside a glass of heart, it will definitely be sad like tears, but Cheng Xiaoyu has a big heart and a lonely temperament. Thinking of today's Chinese New Year's Eve, there is not necessarily anything to eat outside, and I lay down in the bed and closed my eyes and thought cranky, and fell asleep again in a trance. In the dream, he felt that someone had rang the doorbell, and Cheng Xiaoyu covered his head with a quilt and continued to dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival.
In his dream, he felt that he was holding a pair of hands that were as warm as jade, that a sweet smell had spread between his mouth and nose, and that a cool and refreshing wind was gently blowing in his ears. The blue scars on his body that had been pulled out by the baton were gently rubbed. The sweetness of the dream seemed to melt him.
was woken up by hunger again in a trance, but Cheng Xiaoyu felt much better this time. Sweating profusely. There was something on his forehead, but when he held it with his hand, it was a towel folded in a rectangle, and then he saw that the quilt covering his body had become two beds.
Only then did Cheng Xiaoyu know that it was probably not a dream just now, but someone had really come. He sat up and looked around, but there was no one. Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and it is estimated that only Aunt Zhou will come over at this time. I didn't think much about it, I turned on the TV, and the Spring Festival Gala was about to start.
After a few minutes, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach, and Cheng Xiaoyu sighed and thought, it is estimated that he can only eat instant noodles. I just picked up the phone and wanted to ask the front desk to ask the waiter to bring a bowl of instant noodles. At this time the door was opened.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to look, but it was not Aunt Zhou who walked in, but Su Yuxi.
A beautiful girl like Su Yuxi makes people feel in a good mood when they look at it. What's more, at this time, Su Yuxi was still holding a small pot in his hand. When Cheng Xiaoyu saw the pot, he couldn't help but swallow.
Su Yuxi watched Cheng Xiaoyu sit up, looked at the pot in her hand in a daze, couldn't help laughing, and said softly, "I have a cold and fever, why don't you call home?" β
Cheng Xiaoyu's weak spirit and body were healed by Su Yuxi's beautiful smile, and he laboriously said in a dry voice, "It's just a little illness, just resist it and it's over." But I thought, "That's your home, but it's not necessarily mine." β
Su Yuxi put the pot on the bedside table and said, "I cooked porridge for you, let's eat it a little cold first." Then he took out a box of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu, and then walked to the door to pour water with Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu straightened up, put the quilt under his armpit, and said to Su Yuxi's back, "I'm sorry, it's really troublesome for you for the New Year." β
Su Yuxi didn't make a sound, poured a cup of hot water and brought it to Cheng Xiaoyu, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes as if he saw his heart, and said in a warm voice, "We are a family, so please don't use hypocritical politeness to cover up your weak heart and increase the estrangement between us." Let us have the happiness of being needed, this is the meaning of family life. β
Cheng Xiaoyu took the water, the warmth of the cup passed from his hand through the blood to his heart, he hurriedly put the water cup to his lips, let the steaming mist soak his skin, let the mist moisten his eyes, and gently drank a sip of warm water, but it was salty.
Su Yuxi took the medicine box from Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, opened it for him, read the instructions carefully, peeled off two half-red and half-yellow capsules, and put them in Cheng Xiaoyu's palm.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know why, he felt that these two pills weighed more than a thousand catties, but they tasted sweet when he put them in his mouth.
Cheng Xiaoyu held the cup in his hand, felt the continuous warmth, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Su Yuxi, and whispered, "Thank you." Then he quickly added, "It's not polite, but I want to say in my heart that I'm really glad to have a sister like you." So thank you, God, thank you, Dad, Aunt Zhou, and you. β
Su Yuxi smiled, "Then I want to thank you too, in fact, for so many years, my parents have never found the feeling of being a parent in me, thank you for letting them experience it." β
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Are you praising me or hurting me!" β
Su Yuxi said to Cheng Xiaoyu, "There are two sides to everything, you have to look at the problem dialectically, and you can't simply boil it down to right or wrong, praise or loss." β
Cheng Xiaoyu put the cup on the table, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and said while laughing, "I don't know yet, you can still joke!" β
Su Yuxi didn't understand what Cheng Xiaoyu was laughing at, and said, "I'm not kidding, I'm serious." β
Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at Su Yuxi's expression and looked really serious, she suppressed her laughter, thought about it and felt even funnier, laughed out loud, and gasped and said, "Sister, if you go to talk about cross talk, it will not be funny." β
"So what?" Su Yuxi didn't understand where Cheng Xiaoyu's laughter was.
"That's why it's funny." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled even happier. is still making up the picture of Su Yuxi putting on a coat and talking to Xu Qinning in a serious way.
Su Yuxi then classified Cheng Xiaoyu into the ranks of intermittent deep well ice and ignored him. Who else is in this ranks? Of course, there is Xu Qinning, Miss Xu.
Su Yuxi took the spoon open on the lid of the pot in his left hand, picked up the pot with his right hand, glanced at it, and touched the temperature of the pot with his hand, feeling that it should not be hot.
handed the spoon to Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "The things in the hotel kitchen, the girl at the front desk is not easy to move, so I can only ask for some rice and two preserved eggs, and cook preserved egg porridge with you." It's also my first time cooking, so you don't have to ask for the taste. β
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, took the spoon, tilted his body and began to scoop porridge to eat.
Maybe it was because he was so hungry, maybe it was something else, but he thought it was the most delicious meal he'd ever eaten, so delicious that he couldn't hold back his tears.
After eating a pot of porridge, Su Yuxi took the pot, washed it in the bathroom, greeted Cheng Xiaoyu, and went to return the pot and spoon to the kitchen.
Cheng Xiaoyu took the opportunity to get dressed, went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
When Su Yuxi returned to his room, Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaoxi, doesn't it matter if you don't go over there?" Today is the New Year, and why did you come over? β
Su Yuxi looked at the Spring Festival Gala and said casually, "During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my mother called you a few times and you didn't answer, so she asked me to come and have a look." It doesn't matter if I'm in the old house or not, I watch TV everywhere anyway, and I don't like to play cards. Wait a minute, Mom and Dad will come by twelve o'clock. My mom even bought you fireworks, and in her eyes, you're still a child. In the end, Su Yuxi had a sweet smile on her face. Many times, she felt that her mom was much more naΓ―ve than she was.
Cheng Xiaoyu picked up the mobile phone that was muted, and sure enough, there were a lot of missed calls and text messages. I can't remember at all when the last time fireworks were set off. In this life, when he lived in the United States, he never let off fireworks by himself, and rarely saw fireworks, muttering, "Fireworks, it's really a distant memory." β
Su Yuxi asked again, "By the way, how did you catch a cold?" β
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that he was seen by them yesterday singing and secretly sending the little girl home, so he said casually, "Oh, when I came back yesterday, I found that the money had dropped, and I felt that the hotel was not far away anyway, so I walked back." Maybe it was too cold, so I caught a cold. β
It just so happens that the hotel is not far from Tongquetai KTV, and Cheng Xiaoyu only takes a taxi for more than 20 yuan, so it can be regarded as an explanation.
Su Yuxi: "Oh. I wanted to say something, but I wanted to say something. The two watched the boring Spring Festival Gala together.
Until it was close to twelve o'clock, Su Changhe and Zhou Peipei also came to the hotel.
When the countdown is counted, there are pieces of firecrackers exploding outside the window, and countless fireworks are rising in the air.
And there will be a grand fireworks show at 12 o'clock in Tian'anmen.
The family set off fireworks bought by Aunt Zhou in the empty parking lot in front of the hotel. The night sky of the capital is still sprinkled with fine snowflakes, and beautiful and ephemeral fireworks bloom gorgeously in the white expanse.
Su Yuxi held a lit firework stick and gestured in the air to leave a brilliant trail. Cheng Xiaoyu knew she was writing, but she couldn't tell what she was writing.
Cheng Xiaoyu lit a huge box of fireworks called "So Beautiful Tonight" and stood in the distance looking up at the night sky. The sky in the capital is like a wonderful scene of meteor showers flying by. The snowy night throughout the city is lit up by fireworks. Clusters of grand fireworks bloom in the night sky like a huge umbrella flower. Like clusters of dazzling lights lit up in the night sky, and then quietly extinguished. Like clumps of flowers blooming and spreading golden powder, then blown away by the wind in the air. Fireworks bloom in the night sky one by one, and finally glide through the night sky like countless meteors with long tails.
Cheng Xiaoyu and his family stood under this prosperous age, praying for the future.
The fireworks in the clouds in the night are like the sea of stars flowing rapidly outside the astronaut's window, although they bloom and wither, but a moment of brilliance is enough.
Cheng Xiaoyu thought quietly, I am not a fireworks of different colors, and I am not a fleeting meteor.
Even if it is destined to fall, I am the brightest SN1006.
