Chapter 105: The Fireworks
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is a time for every family to be reunited, but Lin Zhimo not only failed to be with his family, but even his friends had to face separation.
After sending Lin Xinru on the plane in the morning, Lin Zhimo said goodbye to Zhang Ziyi in the morning, after all, his home is local to Yanjing, so Zhang Ziyi has to go home to accompany his parents no matter what.
Originally, according to Lin Zhimo's meaning, he also wanted to go home, but Lin Weicheng heard the news that he was going to fly to Berlin in two days, so he asked him to go back after a while, so as not to reverse the plane in the past two days and waste money.
Lin Zhimo wanted to tell his father that he was already a billionaire, but it was estimated that Lin Weicheng would not believe it and would only increase his troubles, so he hid it.
"Hey, Sister Wen, when will you arrive in Yanjing, I'll pick you up." Lin Zhimo was bored and called Huo Xiwen, who had just returned to Xiangjiang a few days ago.
Because Zhang Ziyi needs to walk the red carpet to Berlin this time, and the matter of contacting and negotiating with those clothing sponsors can only be handed over to Huo Xiwen, Huo Xiwen will fly back from Xiangjiang this afternoon.
"My plane at twelve o'clock at noon is estimated to arrive around four o'clock." Huo Xiwen's voice came from the microphone unhurriedly.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zhimo picked up Huo Xiwen into his nanny car.
"To be honest, Zhimo, I really think you should buy a car, don't you think it's a little inconvenient to drive this kind of car?"
Lin Zhimo carefully looked at the decoration in the car: "No, I think it's very good, how good this kind of car is, it is spacious and safe, and when you are tired, you can park on the side of the road and lie on the bed in the back to rest." ”
Huo Xiwen slapped his forehead speechlessly, and sighed: "I can't communicate with you and me, what sports cars do people love, at least they need a car, you are different." ”
Lin Zhimo smiled and did not answer.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhimo suddenly asked, "Sister Wen, aren't the two of us celebrating today?" ”
"Celebrate what?" Huo Xiwen suddenly thought of something, and his heart couldn't help beating faster.
Lin Zhimo deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sister Wen, we are both like this, you haven't told me that you are born on the first day of the Lunar New Year." ”
Huo Xiwen looked at the road in front of him without squinting, and said with a slight flush on his face: "What am I like you?" Don't talk nonsense...... Let's talk about what is there to celebrate. ”
Although Huo Xiwen's tone was very flat, as if she really didn't care, Lin Zhimo was still very keen to see that Huo Xiwen's hands had been involuntarily twisted together, and his knuckles were a little white because he was too hard.
Lin Zhimo smiled secretly and said, "I know you don't want to have a treat, but it's okay, I'll invite you today." ”
Ignoring Lin Zhimo's ridicule, Huo Xiwen asked suspiciously, "How do you know my birth?" ”
Hearing Huo Xiwen's question, Lin Zhimo remembered the call from Huo Xiwen's mother this morning.
"Zhimo, why are you so busy, can't you rest during the New Year...... Auntie doesn't blame you, she's just worried about Xiwen, you see she's so old...... Not yet? Zhimo, you must urge her for my aunt, she is not in a hurry to find a partner, I am in a mother's hurry...... You see she's alone, and no one is with her for the rest of her life...... You don't know that Xiwen's birth is today, do you? It's not February 5th, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we have shown Xiwen the master before, and the master said that Xiwen is not suitable for the solar calendar...... Okay, okay, then Zhimo you bothered more...... In the future, when you Sister Wen is looking for a partner, she will look for a ...... like you Good, good, goodbye. ”
On the phone, Huo Xiwen's mother first knocked Lin Zhimo, and then pretended to unintentionally reveal Huo Xiwen's life, until Lin Zhimo finally promised to give Huo Xiwen an unforgettable birthday before hanging up the phone.
However, although he learned about the date from Huo Xiwen's mother, Lin Zhimo couldn't say that, otherwise wouldn't Huo Xiwen know that he had a private connection with her mother?
So Lin Zhimo said: "It's the news I got from Sister Xiaowan. ”
Huo Xiwen didn't doubt this, so he just nodded and didn't speak.
Lin Zhimo asked again, "Sister Wen, where are we going to have dinner?" ”
"Go to me, you don't have any cooking materials at home." Huo Xiwen glanced at Lin Zhimo with amusement and said.
Lin Zhimo objected: "No, how can you cook by yourself today?" How about I take you to a big meal? ”
Huo Xiwen asked with interest: "What kind of meal?" ”
……
Although Huo Xiwen didn't expect Lin Zhimo to take her to a five-star hotel, even if she went to eat a meal of spaghetti, or Korean cold noodles, okay, even if she didn't eat longevity noodles, then find a slightly more exquisite restaurant to eat casually...... But now, Lin Zhimo has brought her to such a remote and cramped small restaurant.
There is a plaque hanging on the top of the small restaurant, which reads "Wang's Noodle Restaurant" in four big characters, but fortunately the plaque is still clean.
Huo Xiwen is a bit clean, although it is not serious enough to go out with a cushion, but if it were herself, she would not even look at this kind of small restaurant, let alone come in to eat, but ...... Huo Xiwen glanced at Lin Zhimo on the side, and said secretly: Forget it, just this time.
Lin Zhimo didn't notice Huo Xiwen's reluctance, and directly took Huo Xiwen's hand and entered the small restaurant.
After entering the restaurant, Huo Xiwen found that there was a hole in this dilapidated small restaurant, the walls of the entire room were painted milky white, and there were several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, which showed that the owner of this restaurant should also be a very elegant person.
The heating inside the restaurant was very good and there was no cold outside at all.
Seeing a guest come in, a waitress with a peugeot figure stepped forward and asked, "How many guests are there?" ”
Lin Zhimo said: "Just the two of you, is there a private room?" ”
"Yes, please come with me." The waitress turned around and slowly walked forward with her hips twisted.
After bringing the two of them into a small private room, the waiter didn't take out any menu or anything like that, just poured two cups of tea and turned away.
Seeing Huo Xiwen's puzzled gaze, Lin Zhimo explained: "There is only one kind of noodle sold in this restaurant, and I don't know what the specific name is, we usually call it 'boiled noodles', or as long as we say 'Wang's noodles', everyone knows here." ”
"Is this restaurant famous?" Huo Xiwen asked while looking at the small private room he was in.
There was only a brown wooden square table with a white cloth on the top, four chairs on the table, and the walls were painted cream white like the outer room, but there was a faint fragrance in the air.
Generally speaking, there will never be other flavors in the restaurant, because I am afraid that other flavors will affect people's taste, but this kind of taste Huo Xiwen feels a feeling of appetite after smelling it.
Lin Zhimo smiled: "This smells good, I was very surprised when I first came, but it is said that this is an ancestral spicy secret sauce of this owner, and with the ramen in the restaurant, it will give people a pleasant feeling." ”
While the two were talking, the waiter brought two bowls of steaming noodles.
The mouth of the bowl is very large, and it is the length of one of Chengren's palms.
Huo Xiwen's meal is not large, so when she saw this kind of Haikou bowl, she frowned slightly, but soon she smelled the rich aroma wafting from these two bowls of noodles, and Huo Xiwen had a feeling of moving his index finger for a while, and he didn't feel that this big bowl was too big.
When the waiter put the two bowls of noodles on the table, Huo Xiwen was even more surprised, because there was only a little noodles in such a big bowl, and more soup, clear soup! How clear the soup is, it's like a bowl of water, and you can't see the slightest oil splash.
Thinking of the name of "boiled noodles" that Lin Zhimo just said just now, Huo Xiwen probably knew the origin of this name, if it weren't for the fact that he only had these two bowls of noodles in front of him, Huo Xiwen would never believe that the ordinary bowl of noodles in front of him would actually exude such an attractive aroma.
Looking at the noodles in front of him, Huo Xiwen suddenly remembered the famous dish of Sichuan cuisine "boiling water cabbage", that dish is also like this noodle, at first glance, I only thought it was a few cabbage hearts floating in the clear water, and there was no oil splash at all, but it was fragrant and refreshing in the mouth, and it was extremely delicious, and it was a veritable high-end dish.
"Could it be that the same is true for the noodles here?" Huo Xiwen only felt that his tongue was full of joy when he thought of this.
When the waiter went out, Lin Zhimo picked up the spoon and said, "Sister Wen, it's best to take a sip of soup before eating this dish, and wait until the fragrance enters before eating noodles." ”
Huo Xiwen smiled lightly and picked up a spoon, but Huo Xiwen's movements were much more elegant than Lin Zhimo's when he also drank the soup: Lin Zhimo drank the soup like a person who had been thirsty for three days and three nights suddenly picked up a bottle of mineral water, and poured the clear soup in the spoon into his throat after sucking it; Huo Xiwen gently tasted it little by little with his pink cherry lips, as if tasting red wine.
Huo Xiwen took a sip of the soup gently, only to feel that the soup was delicious, not greasy or greasy, the soup was thick, and all his taste buds seemed to be immersed in the fragrant soup.
Seeing Huo Xiwen's shining eyes, Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "How is it, it tastes good, right?" ”
"It's not just good, it's delicious." Huo Xiwen continued to admire.
After speaking, Huo Xiwen couldn't wait to pick up a ball of noodles with chopsticks, gently sucked it into his mouth, and just chewed Huo Xiwen couldn't help but let out a "hmm".
Lin Zhimo laughed: "Energetic, right?" I've been to a lot of places, but there is no place in the country where the noodles are as chewy and refreshing as here, and they seem to be crispy at the end of the chew, and it's a real pleasure to eat them. ”
Huo Xiwen listened to Lin Zhimo's words as if commenting, and nodded incessantly.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and Huo Xiwen was a little reluctant when he left.
At this time, the sky is dark, and the night sky is pitch black, with only a few stars visible.
Lin Zhimo drove the car, but did not go to the city, but kept driving towards the suburbs.
"Where is this going?" Huo Xiwen asked strangely when he saw that the direction was wrong.
"Hehe, of course...... I'm going to sell you, Sister Wen. Lin Zhimo deliberately scared Huo Xiwen.
Huo Xiwen pursed his lips, tilted his head back indifferently, changed a more comfortable posture and said, "Okay, then tell me when you get there." ”
Lin Zhimo never expected Huo Xiwen to react like this, so he laughed dryly, so he had to explain the reason directly: "I prepared some surprises for Sister Wen in the suburbs. ”
"Surprise?" Huo Xiwen glanced at Lin Zhimo, "What surprise?" ”
Although the "boiled noodles" I ate just now tasted very delicious, it was far less important in Huo Xiwen's heart than Lin Zhimo's sentence "Life is said to be happy", but Lin Zhimo seemed to have forgotten how to say these four words, and the time of a meal was just constantly saying how good the taste of this noodle was.
At this time, she heard Lin Zhimo say that there were still surprises, and the loss in Huo Xiwen's heart subsided slightly, and she was full of expectations for the surprise that Lin Zhimo said next.
The road chosen by Lin Zhimo became more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and finally only Lin Zhimo was left to travel alone in the vast night.
After driving for nearly an hour, Lin Zhimo stopped the car.
Huo Xiwen got out of the car and looked, at this time they came to a clearing, the four fields were open and uninhabited, and in front of the car was a grass.
Lin Zhimo came to Huo Xiwen's side and said with a smile: "Sister Wen, how about this birthday gift I gave you?" ”
"What? Why can't I see anything? Because the night was so dark, Huo Xiwen couldn't see anything even if he had enough eyesight.
Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Sister Wen, wait a minute." After saying that, he turned around and opened the back door of the car.
Because Huo Xiwen couldn't see what Lin Zhimo was going to do, but because of this, the sense of expectation in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"I wish you a happy life, I wish you a happy life......"
Just when Huo Xiwen was still trying to see the grass in front of him, a warm singing voice came from behind him.
Huo Xiwen turned around violently, only to see Lin Zhimo walking slowly towards him with a small cake in both hands. There was a circle of candles on top of the cake, the light of which was faint, swaying in the slight cold wind, but it was the only light in the deep night.
Seeing Lin Zhimo, whose whole body was shrouded in candlelight, listening to his gentle voice singing a song, Huo Xiwen's heart softened suddenly, his eyes were full of tears, and his hands covered his mouth, looking so surprised that he couldn't believe it.
Lin Zhimo sang a song and slowly walked to Huo Xiwen's side, and then said softly: "Sister Wen, happy life!" ”
Huo Xiwen's tears finally couldn't hold back anymore and fell one by one.
Lin Zhimo held the cake with his left hand, gently wiped away the tears on Huo Xiwen's face with his right hand, and said with tenderness in his eyes: "Sister Wen, you are so beautiful under the candlelight, don't cry." ”
Huo Xiwen was shy in his heart when he heard Lin Zhimo's words, but it was more sweet, and after a long time, he finally wiped away his tears, and said angrily: "If you live your life, why do you have to come all the way here, how cold it is." ”
Lin Zhimo shook his head with a smile, took a candle from the cake and said, "Sister Wen, you can take this candle and walk five steps forward, and then you will see a gift on the ground." ”
Huo Xiwen glanced at Lin Zhimo suspiciously: "On the ground? What is the gift? At this time, Huo Xiwen felt as if he had suddenly become lazy, and he didn't want to guess or think about anything.
Lin Zhimo still didn't speak, just smiled and motioned Huo Xiwen to go to the front to observe.
Huo Xiwen took the candle in Lin Zhimo's hand and walked forward slowly, only to see that there was not all grass in front of him, but piece by piece, some places were bulldozed to expose the soil below, and some places were covered with a thick layer of grass clippings, but because it was too dark, Huo Xiwen didn't see it clearly, but vaguely realized that this should be deliberately made by Lin Zhimo.
"Okay, Sister Wen, you can stop." Just when Huo Xiwen walked about six or seven steps, Lin Zhimo said behind him.
Huo Xiwen turned his head and saw that Lin Zhimo had come to a place not far behind him at some point, he bent down slightly, and then said with a smile: "Sister Wen, I lied to you just now...... Now, it's a gift for you! ”
After speaking, Lin Zhimo dropped the candle in his hand on the ground, Huo Xiwen was just about to say be careful, when he saw that the grass where Lin Zhimo dropped the candle began to burn, and then the flames quickly spread around, but the strange thing was that the flames were like trains running on the tracks, although the speed was fast, but it seemed to be following some trajectory.
Lin Zhimo walked up to Huo Xiwen and said softly, "Sister Wen, enjoy the fireworks feast I gave you." ”
Huo Xiwen's eyes widened, and then, in her incredulous gaze, a trajectory of flames on the ground began to take shape, enveloping the two of them in it.
"It's ...... Word? Huo Xiwen finally found something, and exclaimed in surprise: "This is a '曰' word!" Then she thought of something and looked at Lin Zhimo in surprise.
Lin Zhimo nodded affirmatively, and said word by word: "Raw, say, fast, happy!" ”
Huo Xi's bright eyes began to fill with a mist again, she naturally knew that these jobs must have been done by Lin Zhimo this morning and afternoon, and Lin Zhimo must have worked very hard to get this big project out in such a short time.
Lin Zhimo put the cake on the ground, then took out a rose from his back as if by magic, and said again: "Sister Wen, happy life!" ”
Huo Xiwen only felt that he had been stimulated too much today, and he was stunned to see that the flower in Lin Zhimo's hand was actually fixed there.
Lin Zhimo gently hugged Huo Xiwen into his arms, and kissed Huo Xiwen's somewhat cold forehead lightly.
Feeling the light kiss on his forehead, Huo Xiwen came back to his senses, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore, and also hugged Lin Zhimo.
"Flower ...... Sister Wen, flowers, crush the flowers......"
Huo Xiwen twisted his head vigorously in Lin Zhimo's arms, and said vaguely: "Zhimo, I'm so happy...... It's not a dream. ”
Lin Zhimo didn't care about the roses in his hand at this time, he held Huo Xiwen's shoulders with both hands, stared at Huo Xiwen's water-cut eyes, and said: "Sister Wen, you are not dreaming, I promise that you will be accompanied by me every year in your life in the future." ”
The voice was soft, but the tone was firm.
"Knowing the ......"
Huo Xiwen only felt that his heart was completely captured by Lin Zhimo's words, raised his head and looked at Lin Zhimo's pupils, slowly, Huo Xiwen felt that Lin Zhimo was getting closer and closer to him, his heart panicked, his eyes couldn't help but close tightly, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Lin Zhimo did not kiss Huo Xiwen's pink and full lips directly, but put his mouth next to Huo Xiwen's ear, sighed softly, and then said: "Sister Wen, this is just the beginning of the fireworks show. ”
Huo Xiwen was tickled by Lin Zhimo's ear, and twisted his body uneasily and said, "What is just ...... open?"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Xiwen was stunned by the scene in front of him.
At this time, if you look down from the sky, you will see that on the dark earth, there are four large characters written in flames, "Shengyu Happy", and the golden light of the fire is shaking, and each of them has a nearly three-meter-long character as if it is about to fly away in the air.
At this time, Lin Zhimo hugged Huo Xiwen and stood in the middle of the word "曰".
Huo Xiwen looked at the flickering flames in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.
At this moment, Lin Zhimo suddenly began to count down slowly: "8... 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! ”
Huo Xiwen's mood also became more and more excited with the countdown.
As Lin Zhimo's countdown ended, a flame suddenly erupted around the four big characters of "Life and Happiness", and then the flame grew higher and higher, until it grew into a piece of fire tree and silver flower, completely enveloping the two of them inside.
Under the golden firelight, Huo Xiwen's pretty face became more and more beautiful, and the golden powder that was constantly shining reflected in the dark pupils.
"It's beautiful...... Zhimo, you see how beautiful it is! Haha...... "Huo Xiwen was excited, like a little girl who got a beloved toy, jumping and jumping.
When the fireworks gradually went out, Huo Xiwen was just about to speak, and Lin Zhimo gently covered her ears with both hands. Huo Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a muffled sound of "boom", followed by a series of sounds.
Lin Zhimo raised Huo Xiwen's head slightly, and then she saw that at this time, the originally dark night sky was suddenly lit up by a piece of purple and red - the fireworks in full bloom were like golden chrysanthemums, like peonies blooming, like colorful butterflies, and like fire trees, one by one, one by one, the fireworks that were constantly blooming were like a silver horse hanging down from the clouds, and they fell into mid-air and turned into petals, within reach.
Huo Xiwen looked at this fireworks feast in the night sky, as if her life had been lit up, and she couldn't help but look at the maker of this fireworks show.
And Lin Zhimo also looked at her at this time.
At this time, the night sky is still blooming with graceful fireworks, and the colorful colors reflect the earth as bright as day.
But in the eyes of the two on the ground, those dazzling fireworks have become a dispensable background, and in their gazes at each other, the other party has become their world, and there is no room for anything else.
The shadows of the two on the ground gradually merged.
Hugs, kisses.
