On the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, Lin Mengran, who had not heard from him, also took the plane back to Minghai at this time, and returned home on the evening of the 28th. At this time, the small city of Nancheng was already full of the atmosphere of the New Year, and the children were running around the streets with firecrackers like zongzi.

Ye Zhiqiu got the news on the 29th and drove to Lin Mengran's community on the same day. Knocking on Lin Mengran's door, it was Lin Youtong who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Ye Zhiqiu, he showed a smiling face: "Yo, it's Xiao Ye here, come in, come in." ”

"I'm here to find Mengran." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"Mengran, come in first, I'll call her, she's sleeping."

Ye Zhiqiu entered the room and sat down a little crampedly, Zhang Wanru's attitude towards Ye Zhiqiu was not very friendly, and she still seemed to blame him. After Lin Youtong knocked on the door a few times and got a response, he sat down and talked to Ye Zhiqiu about some university matters.

Lin Mengran walked out of the room with sleepy eyes after a while, glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, and hurriedly trotted into the bathroom to wash, tidying up for a long time before coming out.

"Since you're here, why don't you have a meal here?" Lin Youtong said at this time that he had not been able to find a chance to thank Ye Zhiqiu for helping last time. I heard that there seems to be some gap between my daughter and the two, and I thought I could get it together.

"I'll go downstairs with Mengran first." Ye Zhiqiu stood up with a smile and didn't agree, he was afraid that Lin Mengran would be unhappy.

Lin Mengran was wearing a snow-white down jacket with a pink scarf, all her emaciated cheeks were nested in the scarf, and she was wearing a pair of long snow boots on her feet and Ye Zhiqiu and the two were walking on the path.

"You've lost a lot of weight." Ye Zhiqiu was the first to speak and said with a smile.

Lin Mengran nodded, snorted lightly, seemed to be afraid of Ye Zhiqiu's embarrassment, and said: "I'm not used to eating and drinking at Xiangtan, and I'm busy late every day, so it's normal to lose weight." ”

"How is Cork doing to you?" Ye Zhiqiu asked again.

"Uncle Huang was very good to me, some time ago he said that there was a big boss who invested a lot of money in me, so that I didn't have to enter the company, and he has been busy making a company by himself during this time." Lin Mengran replied truthfully.

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "That's good, I knew that you would definitely be able to achieve results in singing, and someone had already taken a fancy to your music before you started singing." ”

"Didn't you hear?" Lin Mengran suddenly stopped, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu head-on for the first time.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I heard it, it's very good." ”

Lin Mengran breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk forward, saying, "Although I was surprised, Uncle Huang comforted me and said that this is what I deserve, and there will be more in the future, as long as I can sing with peace of mind." ”

The two of them walked on the path, and it was very ugly to see that the branches were full of dead branches and a bare patch. vaguely remembers that after the two confirmed their relationship, the distance was always zero when they walked, but now the two are one meter apart, not far or close. It seems that one step can be intimate, but one step is as far away as the end of the world.

"On the side of Xiangtan, take good care of yourself, and don't get tired." Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said.

Lin Mengran stopped again, confronted Ye Zhiqiu, and asked, "Are you doing well?" ”

"Okay, you saw that too." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.

Lin Mengran's gaze moved downward, moving to the wound where Ye Zhiqiu had been stabbed several times for her, reaching out and gently touching her clothes, but she didn't dare to use force. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he asked in a choked voice, "Still, does it still hurt?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu gently pinched his fingers that he hadn't touched for a long time, and shook his head with a chuckle: "It doesn't hurt." ”

Lin Mengran retracted his hand violently, and Ye Zhiqiu was empty again before he could feel more.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Mengran's emaciated cheeks crossed two crystal tears, and he shook his head as he stepped back.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I thought I was ready to face you, but my heart still hurts. Sorry ......"

As he spoke, Lin Mengran turned around and covered his mouth and cried and ran away, leaving Ye Zhiqiu standing alone, not knowing who to say to with a stomach full of melancholy.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the three members of the Ye family and their grandparents who have been in the countryside are happily eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Liang put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out his newly bought wallet, took out a thousand from it and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu, and said with a smile: "Although I know that you have money, this is the etiquette of your hometown, and you can't go away." ”

"Thank you, Dad." Ye Zhiqiu took it with a smile, in the past, he could only receive a maximum of 100 New Year's money every year, and he had to be happy for a long time, but this year, the situation at home is different, and his father is also a lot more generous.

The grandparents are still very healthy, and they pulled Ye Zhiqiu to chat for a while, urging them to study hard and not to cause trouble, so they went around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Ye Zhiqiu went downstairs alone and watched the night sky outside from time to time with fireworks blooming, and his heart was full of thoughts.

It seemed that he thought of somewhere, and shouted upstairs: "Mom, I'm out, I won't be back tonight, don't worry about me these days." ”

"Be careful." Xia Xuan poked his head out of the window and admonished.

Ye Zhiqiu had already driven a luxury car at this time, leaving only a trace of dust, and the luxury car ran wildly all the way, leaving a phantom on the road. The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is very quiet, and the elders are basically keeping the New Year at home, only some impatient little couples or wild children run out to play.

Ye Zhiqiu drove all the way very fast, and the luxury car roared out of Nancheng, rushed onto the highway, and headed all the way towards Minghai.

The journey that originally took more than two hours was shortened by Ye Zhiqiu by a full hour, and when he arrived downstairs in the Jinmu Building, the time was only past nine o'clock.

"I'm downstairs for you, you come down." dialed Huang Lin's phone, hung up the phone without giving a chance to answer, and then sat quietly in the car and waited.

Huang Lin finally came down half an hour later, wearing a bright red tweed coat and a pair of snow-white boots, wrapped in a thick scarf around his neck, and got into Ye Zhiqiu's car.

"How did you get here?" Huang Lin was also quite surprised at this time, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Boring." Ye Zhiqiu started the car and said, "Take you to see the fireworks." ”

"Shouldn't you take Lin Mengran with you?" Huang Lin showed a smile, undisguised excitement.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't answer, he pushed the car faster, and this extremely arrogant Lamborghini roared away on the road of Minghai.

Compared to other places, Chinese New Year's Eve in Minghai is still prosperous. At 12 o'clock sharp, there will be a wonderful fireworks display on the Bund, which has been the rule for many years.

The Bund was full of people, Ye Zhiqiu and Huang Lin shuttled among them, and the roadside was full of photographers shouting for 30 yuan a piece, as well as selling some red calf horn headdresses, which were also very cheap, 30 yuan a piece.

Ye Zhiqiu spent money to buy one and took the initiative to put it on for Huang Lin, but the latter did not refuse, touched it and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu looked at this mediocre face and felt that it was really good and couldn't see where to go, even Hao Yun was not as good, so he could only say something against his will.

Huang Lin didn't talk nonsense, continued to walk forward, and asked: "Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't go to accompany Li Peining, and you don't go to accompany Yang Qingshui, who likes you to die, how can you come to play with my light people?" ”

"Would you believe me if I said I came to thank you for helping me many times and come to play with you?" Ye Zhiqiu found a fence where no one was around, leaned on the fence and looked out, looking at the river reflecting the lights, with a serious face.

Huang Lin took out money to buy a small horn lamp for Ye Zhiqiu to wear, and said with a smile: "It's so boring for me to bring it alone, since I came out to play, I have a look." ”

"Shall we take a picture?" Ye Zhiqiu took out his mobile phone.

Huang Lin waved his hand, pointed to the photographer who was shouting for a long time in the distance but didn't have any business, and said: "Now is the time for them to have fun, but because life is forced to sell here, they should support it." ”

"Why didn't I find out that you were so worried about the country and the people before?" Ye Zhiqiu smiled and called the photographer over and asked, "How much does it cost to take a picture?" ”

The photographer is very young, only twenty-five years old, holding a SLR with eyes, and said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year is a lively picture, and it costs 30 yuan a piece." If you want, add 20 yuan, and I'll give you an extra one, how about it, it's a good deal. ”

Ye Zhiqiu took out a hundred and said, "Give us four." ”

"Done." The photographer immediately smiled, took more than a dozen photos in a row with a DSLR very professionally, and finally asked Ye Zhiqiu to choose four, immediately printed them out and handed them to Ye Zhiqiu, and then continued to sell.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the picture in the photo, and teased with a smile: "It is estimated that he dislikes you for not looking good, just this technology, no matter how you say it, you have to have a piece to hang as a façade." ”

"Cut." Huang Lin glanced at him and ignored it.

As the huge LED display began to count down, thousands of people on the Bund also began to count down together, and Ye Zhiqiu's voice was also mixed in: "Nine, eight, seven, six......"

After the last sound was finished, colorful fireworks immediately burst out on the black and oppressive river in the distance, and many couples happily hugged each other and shouted, "Happy New Year." ”

Ye Zhiqiu also smiled and opened his hug, and asked Huang Lin with a hippie smile: "Shall we also come to hug and celebrate the New Year." ”

"Boring." Huang Lin glanced at him and looked up to see the fireworks blooming in the sky.

"Just a simple hug of friendship from friends, where do you want to go?" Ye Zhiqiu said without giving up.

Huang Lin ignored it, just turned his back to look at the fireworks in the sky, and it wasn't until it was over for a long time that he turned his head and said with a smile: "It's very beautiful." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Zhiqiu watched Lin Mengran enter the airport from a distance and boarded the plane to Xiangtan for a long time.
