But he just looked at it, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just for a moment, he retracted his gaze, and continued to walk into the main room.

The little brother and sister scooped hot water from the pot into the wooden basin to wash the dishes, and while washing, Ye Xianglan's eyes still glanced at Ye Xinyi's house across half the courtyard. The slender eyebrows are tucked together, almost knotted.

"Sister just now, you were afraid of cats, right?" I'm still scared, I'm afraid! "But....... When did she become afraid of cats? The little girl was afraid of her sister and couldn't help but want to be close. But these days, she likes her sister, and she likes it very much. Just now, Sister A's appearance scared her, but more than suspicion, she was full of concern.

Ye Chuanbai's face was not very good, while brushing the bowl vigorously, he raised his eyes, looked at the room where there was no movement, and snorted, "Who knows her, she has a lot of secrets, where will she tell you and me?" ”

Ye Xianglan glanced at him silently, stopped talking, and the two of them finished brushing the bowl in silence and put everything in order in the stove room, but there was still no movement in the room.

Ye Shi'an came out to let them rest earlier.

The lights went out one by one, and the small courtyard was completely quiet.

As night fell, the north wind blew and swept large snowflakes against the doors and windows.

There were no candles in the house, and the people on the kang seemed to be sleeping, but they slept very unsteadily.

Stuck in a nightmare, struggling and tossing from time to time, muttering something indistinctly in his mouth.

"No!" A sharp cat meow in the dream, Ye Xinyi saw that the wild cat stood up all over the fur, a pair of green eyes stared at her viciously, and pounced on her, the sharp claws were about to catch her face, she could even feel the cat's open mouth, spewing out a fishy breath, and with a scream, she had woken up from the dream.

Almost as soon as she opened her eyes, she sat up from the kang.

His eyes widened and he stared straight at somewhere in the darkness.

Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and after a while, she let out a long breath, and the terrible wild cat in her dream was gone.

This realization finally made her jump to the heart of her throat, and slowly fell back.

When I slowly came back to my senses, I realized that I was already sweating through the back of my clothes, and even a strand of hair was so wet that it seemed as if it had just been washed.

It's really unproductive! Ye Xinyi thought, obviously he was no longer Gu Huan, how could he still be trapped in Gu Huan's nightmare, so embarrassed?

But knowing in my heart is easier said than done.

Even if she faced life and death immediately, Ye Xinyi might not feel afraid, but once she saw such a pair of pointed ears, round eyes, and in the eyes of others, a fluffy and very cute little thing, she seemed to be back to when she was five years old, she was locked in a dark room by Gu Yi and them, and she only knew how to cry, and she had nothing to do.

It seemed to remind her that no matter how strong she became, in her bones, that timid and cowardly Gu Huan was still there, following her like a shadow.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

Ye Xinyi was startled, raised his eyes, and saw a shadow reflected on the door, and a peaceful voice pierced through the howling of the wind and snow, and reached his ears, "Huanhuan'er, it's Daddy, open the door!" ”

After sleeping for a while, Ye Xinyi's mood at this time was much calmer than before.

Outside the door, after Ye Shi'an finished speaking, he was silent, just standing there quietly, waiting, not moving.

Ye Xinyi groaned slightly, but finally got up, hastily cleaned up, and then opened the door.

Outside the door, the wind and snow were flourishing, and Ye Shi'an only stood for a while, but it was already snow on his head and shoulders.

Seeing Ye Xinyi, he didn't say anything, nor did he enter the house, just glanced at her, his eyes were still calm as usual, and then handed over a pottery bowl in his hand.

"I boiled you a bowl of soothing soup and drank it to rest early."

Ye Xinyi looked down at the brown medicinal soup in the pottery bowl and was stunned.

Ye Shi'an didn't urge her, but just held the bowl in front of her, calm, but resolute.

Ye Xinyi came back to his senses, and finally reached out to take the medicine bowl, raised his head, and drank the medicinal soup in the bowl.

Ye Shi'an took the empty bowl and said with a smile, "Sleep well." And he turned around.

She didn't ask the first half of the question just now.

Don't tell her, the original Ye Xinyi was also afraid of cats. She didn't believe there was such a coincidence.

Ye Xinyi opened her mouth, but she didn't ask after all, watching Ye Shi'an stride into the wind and snow outside the house, her heart was complicated and unspeakable for a while, and her emotions were mixed together, and even she couldn't clarify herself.

A night of wind and snow, a night of silence.

When I woke up early in the morning, the wind and snow had stopped.

When Ye Xinyi walked out of the door, Ye Xianglan was sweeping the snow in the yard with a broom taller than her.

The sweep was very hard, the little face was red, and even the tip of the delicate nose was sweating.

She was so focused that she didn't notice that Ye Xinyi was out of the door, and she had already walked behind her.

It wasn't until her hand was light that the broom in her hand fell into the hands of others, she turned her head, and then she was slightly stunned, "Sister? ”

The little girl is young, she can't hide her thoughts, and everything is written on her face. Worried, confused, apprehensive......

Ye Xinyi didn't see it, and let out a low "um" while lowering his eyes to sweep the snow. Brush brush, the movement is neat, and the strength is much greater than Ye Xianglan, but after a while, the snow in the yard is swept to one place.

Ye Xinyi gasped slightly, looked at Ye Xianglan and said, "After breakfast, I have something to go out." You go next door and ask the aunt of the He family, and say, can you help make a few of us New Year's clothes, and we will pay the wages according to the market price. ”

Ye Xianglan's eyes lit up slightly, "Sister, why do you want to wear new clothes for the Chinese New Year this year?" "Ye Xianglan hasn't bought new clothes for two years, and most of her clothes in previous years were worn by Ye Xinyi when she was smaller.

A child from a poor family can become like this with just a new garment.

Ye Xiang's blue crystal eyes made Ye Xinyi's heart sour, and she raised her hand with a smile and rubbed her little head, "Every year in the future, we will be able to wear new clothes for the New Year." ”

Sister A's words are always inexplicably convincing.

Ye Xianglan nodded and said "um" vigorously.

It's just a blink of an eye, but he looked at Ye Xinyi with some hesitation and said, "Where is Sister going?" ”

Some time ago, when she went out alone, she didn't see this, presumably it was yesterday's events that made the child a little uneasy.

Ye Xinyi smiled slightly, "It's a little something, go to North Second Street, and come back before lunch." ”

Ye Xianglan let out an "oh", but didn't ask again after all.

When it was time for breakfast, Ye Shi'an and Ye Chuanbai's attitude towards her was the same as usual, which made Ye Xinyi's heart completely implemented.

Saying that she had something to go out after breakfast, Ye Chuanbai pretended not to hear it, and continued to concentrate on eating his food.

Ye Shi'an only told her to pay attention to safety, come back early, and don't ask anything else.
