In the Spring Festival Gala, Dong Qing was smiling with a standard eight teeth to introduce the guests who were about to appear, the whole screen was filled with a festive red, Lu Xifei raised her voice a notch, and shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, a year ago, she would never have imagined that a year later she would be in an empty villa, in the dim light, watching a group of people laughing.

After about ten minutes, Lucy got up and went to the kitchen, put out the fire, and the fragrance of the noodles came to his nose, mixed with a burst of heat, and sprinkled warmly on Luxi's delicate face.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, when the family is reunited and the outside world is full of fireworks, she is twenty-eight years old.

On Baidu Encyclopedia, her birthday was half a year ago, and now she should be twenty-eight and a half years old, but few people know that her birthday is today. The reason why the age was changed to a younger age was actually to be able to enter school a year earlier.

Lu Xifei held the longevity noodles cooked for himself in his hand, and the male star in a red Tang costume on TV was already singing.

The sudden ringing of the doorbell disrupted her thoughts, and Luci put her face on the coffee table, saw the handsome face from the video intercom, and pressed the button.

When she opened the door, she didn't even have time to say a word to him, only to see the boy lift the gift box in his hand with a sunflower-like smile and say, "Happy birthday, sister!" ”

Lu Xifei lost his mind for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Meng Liuchen sat on the sofa, rubbed his hands, exhaled into the palm of his hand, and then untied the rope tied to the cake box, the animal on it was so cute and tight, it was the genus of Lu Xifei, and the Arabic numeral 28 was written next to it, the cake was not very big, and it didn't look expensive, Meng Liuchen cut a big cake and handed it to Lu Xifei: "This is the first time I have made a cake by myself, sister, you can eat it." Lu Xifei looked at him, but did not reach out to pick it up, Meng Liuchen quipped, "Don't worry, there is no poison." I'll show you. Then he took a bite.

Luci coughed dryly and said, "You can cut a piece for me again." ”

Clean fetish, Meng Liuchen scolded, but he still obediently cut a piece for Lucy again. He looked at Lucy eating the cake, not only sighed, my sister is really everyone's best girl, a piece of cake can be eaten very elegantly, without any cream on his lips, as delicate as tasting a high-end dessert.

"Why don't you go home?" Luci asked.

Meng Liuchen pouted: "I've been there, I'm not used to it." It doesn't feel like my home, and my parents don't feel like my relatives. ”

"They don't look like, I look like?"

In any case, they are just half-siblings, and they have not met since childhood. She didn't understand why Meng Liuchen was so close to her, without the slightest hint of mustard and strangeness.

"Like." Meng Liuchen turned his head to look at her, "You are beautiful, you are more beautiful than Qianqian." More like my loved ones. After all, I have such a handsome face. ”

"Finish eating." Lu Xifei looked at the cake that had just been bitten by Meng Liuchen and was now placed on the coffee table at random, and said.

"Don't." Meng Liuchen resolutely refused, "I don't like sweets. ”

Looking at Lu Xihua's deep eyes, Meng Liuchen knew that this sister was about to start teaching herself, so he said coquettishly: "Sister, I'm really not used to eating sweets, you believe me." ”

"It's not good to be a picky eater."

"I don't want to, but I grew up with a lot of things that I couldn't eat. I have congenital heart disease, my sister doesn't know. Meng Liuchen clasped his fingers together, put his backhand on the back of his head, glanced at Lu Xifei, and then smiled indifferently, "But it's okay now, I had surgery three years ago and have fully recovered." However, when I was a child, my aunt was very strict with my diet, such as greasy, spicy, and chocolate sweets, I couldn't touch them, and now although it's good, I can't be interested in this kind of food, and I'm not used to it. ”

For a while, the atmosphere was a little delicate, Lu Xifei, who was originally eating cake, held the fork in his hand and didn't move, and Meng Liuchen's smile was not as obvious as Fang Cai.

"My sister's noodles smell good." Meng Liuchen leaned over, sniffed the longevity noodles on the table, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, "I want to drink a bowl too." ”

Luci didn't speak, got up and went to the kitchen, where he warmed up the hot and cold noodles. When he came out, Meng Liuchen was bored watching the Spring Festival Gala, he was indeed very handsome under the lights, as he said, he and Lu Xifei were very sisters and brothers, the same tall man, the same soul hook eyes, the same, narcissism.

"Thank you, sister." Meng Liuchen took the bowl with a smile and drank the noodles.

He looked very hungry, the bowl quickly bottomed out, he drank the soup with a fine drink, he tilted his head, looked at Lu Xifei, and said playfully: "Sister, listen, I call my sister this time, is it more standard than last time?" ”

"General."

"Ah, my aunt said that my sister has a tsundere attribute, and what my sister says is average, and it is generally very good!"

Lu Xifei was a little speechless, when did Meng Kejun become so fashionable, and his mouth was full of words that she couldn't understand. What does the word tsundere mean?

"I'm just confident, but I'm not conceited, let alone proud."

"Poof." Meng Liuchen laughed, his sister is really cute, he knows the meaning of tsundere as a person who lives abroad all the year round, but Lu Xifei doesn't know, and one-sidedly understands it as pride, and it is really tsundere, "Sister, tsundere and pride, but not the same meaning." What about tsundere, that is, a person pretends to be calm in order to hide his shy heart, as if there is a saying that says, the mouth says no, but the body is very honest! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lucy frowned and looked at him with an annoyed look, "Who taught you this?" ”

Meng Liuchen saw that Lu Xifei was angry, so he had to lean on Lu Xifei's shoulder coquettishly and said kindly: "However, my sister is indeed like this." Very cute. ”

Luci pushed him away angrily and said in a low voice, "Please, don't use the adjective 'cute' to describe me. ”

"Haha." Meng Liuchen burst into tears and laughed, "I know, my aunt told me that my sister has been like a little adult since she was a child, she is so smart, and she can only accept adjectives like 'high intelligence', 'beautiful as a flower' and 'talented', but I really, really think my sister is indeed very cute." ”

"You." Lu Xifei stood up, looked at him condescendingly, stretched out his finger to point at him, and then pointed outside, and said coldly, "Go out." ”

"I'm not going out."

"Get out!"

Meng Liuchen reluctantly stood up, took a few steps forward, then leaned over, covered his chest, and slowly squatted on the ground. Seeing this, Lu Xifei stepped forward to support him, and Meng Liuchen made a painful sound from his mouth, which seemed to be very uncomfortable. Luci took his hand and pulled him up, trying to pull him to the couch and sit down.

Meng Liuchen shook off her hand: "Don't pull me, I'm leaving." ”

Lucy really stopped pulling him, turned around and went back to the couch, and didn't look at him anymore. Meng Liuchen put down his hand covering his chest and said angrily: "You really don't pull me? ”

"Didn't you let me pull it?"

"You, what kind of sister you are! Aren't you afraid, aren't you afraid that something will happen to me on the road? I am such a young and handsome young man, if I die young, you will not feel guilty! ”

"Even if you have an accident on the road, it's not because I didn't keep you, but because you willfully refused, so why should I feel guilty?" Lucy glanced at him, without any expression on his face.

"Oops." Meng Liuchen squatted on the ground exaggeratedly, and then simply lay down and rolled, "No, I can't stand it, my heart hurts so much, I almost can't breathe." ”

Luci picked up the glass, took a sip of milk, looked away, looked at the sketch on the TV screen casually, and said casually: "Are your clothes clean, don't stain my floor." ”

Listening to Lu Xifei's ruthless words, Meng Liuchen felt that he was about to collapse, what should he do, he directed and acted in such a play, and now he can't get off the stage at all, looking at his sister like that, he is not a person who saves face for others, could he just get up casually, and then leave in disgrace? That's too embarrassing, he doesn't want it.

Just as he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, suddenly a hand reached in front of his eyes, he looked up at Luci, and finally smiled, stretched out his hand, and was pulled up by her. After getting up, he hugged her, because he was too tall, Lucy was held in his arms, he lowered his head, and said in her ear, "Thank you, sister." ”

Lu Xifei pushed him away, unable to hear any tone: "Meng Liuchen, you are really naïve." ”

Later, the two of them watched the Spring Festival Gala on the sofa together, Lu Xifei had been sitting upright, Meng Liuchen looked at her so seriously, and thought that she must cure her sister's tsundere, and rubbed it hard against Lu Xifei. The sister and brother were so awkward, but time passed slowly. It's rare that Lu Xifei's mood today is not too bad.

Lu Xifei's asthma was still not good, she was a little out of breath after being troubled by Meng Liuchen a few times, her face turned red, her lips turned white, Meng Liuchen didn't dare to continue to mess with her when she saw her like this, so she hurriedly poured water for her to drink, caressing her back and making her more comfortable. Luci took a few sips of water and took a few deep breaths with her eyes closed.

"Sister, I ......"

Luci stretched out his palm, signaling that he didn't have to speak, he didn't have to apologize.

Meng Liuchen lowered his head a little sadly: "It shouldn't be like this." It was like a sharp blade piercing the heart, Meng Liuchen felt that his eyes were a little sour, "It's not fair." ”

Luci looked at him inexplicably, puzzled.

"I always thought that it was because of my mother's mistake that I hurt my sister and my sister's mother, so I had to pay off her debts, and the retribution fell on me. However, my sister didn't do anything wrong, and my sister's mother didn't do anything wrong, so why did my sister still get sick. ”

At the age of twenty-seven, his eyelashes were instantly wet with tears. Lu Xifei looked at him like this, and his heart was moved for a moment. Whether a person is sincere or not, many times nothing is not needed at all, the so-called psychological expertise, just feelings are enough. At least at this moment, Lucy threw away all her professions, and she couldn't find out that Meng Liuchen's tears were either contrived or hypocritical.

"There are things that have no reason in the first place." Luci said.

"Sister, I will protect you." Meng Liuchen rubbed his eyes and looked at her, as if he was making a lifelong vow.

Lu Xifei didn't say anything more, turned his head, and looked at the gala that had come to an end. Behind the silver-haired singers, a group of people sang "Unforgettable Tonight" together, drawing a perfect end to this Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Who is coming at such a late hour?" Meng Liuchen looked at his watch, it was already early morning, "I'll open the door." ”

Meng Liuchen ran back and said, "Sister, it's a beautiful beauty, so I opened the door." ”

I saw a glimmer of starlight flash in Lu Xifei's eyes, got up and went to the door, and Meng Liuchen also followed when he saw this.

Many years later, Meng Liuchen recalled, he still remembered that the moment Lu Xihua opened the door, there was a lot of unspeakable tenderness in his eyes, and it was at that time that he understood a truth, it turned out that there was never an absolute iceberg in this world, as long as she met the person who could melt her.
