Chapter 33 There are fireworks by the river, let's go and see it
The day before Christmas, Jon arrived in the United States with Chenchen and a large bag of gifts.
An Nian and Jon were sitting in front of the fireplace talking, and the four-year-old Chenchen was running around on the carpet in a bright red Christmas dress and glutinous rice dumplings.
"Come here." An Nian stood up and took Chenchen's hand, "Aunt has prepared a gift for you." ”
After not seeing each other for a few months, Chenchen grew taller again.
"Auntie, I miss you so much." Chenchen hugged An Nian's arm affectionately, rubbing around like a puppy, pointing to the gifts like a hill, "These are all picked by me and my aunt, and Mommy didn't help."
An Nian's eyes flashed, "Chenchen is great."
"Miss Auntie"
"Good"
"Auntie, this is a gift from your uncle." Chenchen rummaged in the suitcase for a while, holding a sky blue box in front of An Nian, looking up and waiting for praise, "I bought it with my uncle." ”
Chenchen is a very smart child, he knows that there is a problem between Huo Junyuan and An Nian, so he keeps mentioning Huo Junyuan's goodness and wants An Nian to forgive.
An Nian wiped Chenchen's hair, reached out to take the box and opened it, there was a silver bead bracelet lying quietly on the dark blue velvet, delicate and bright, worn on the wrist, lined with An Nian's skin like jade.
"Thank you, baby." She bent down and kissed Chenchen on the cheek.
Chenchen shook his head and corrected him seriously: "I should thank my uncle." ”
An Nian pursed her lips, her eyes looked at the hexagonal snowflakes on the glass, and the expression on her face was complicated.
I haven't seen you for a year, and I don't know if everyone is okay.
A week flies by, Jon is going home, and Chenchen is going back with him.
There was a bustling crowd at the airport, and Jon took An Nian's hand and said worriedly, "Can you be alone?" ”
"No problem."
Jon frowned: "I'll go back if I figure it out." ”
An Nian smiled and didn't speak.
When he left the airport, it began to snow outside, and An Nian stretched out his palm to catch the falling snowflakes, and his palm was cold.
It's another year.
City A, Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Bang!"
Fireworks exploded in the sky, the air was filled with the smell of firecrackers, and the bustling streets were getting stronger and stronger.
An Nian wore a black windbreaker and walked in the crowd, it had been snowing in the past few days, and the sanitation workers had no time to disturb it, and there was a thick layer on the ground, stepping on it, "creaking" sound.
She stood at the intersection, looking at the house close at hand, and a shallow layer of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
"Young master, the meal is ready." The servant said respectfully.
Huo Junyuan looked at a table of dishes, his heart was empty, even if he had Uncle Li and his seventh sister-in-law to accompany him to take care of him for so many years, he still missed An Nian at the moment, I don't know how she is, do you miss him?
"Master Huo, you're here," the voice of the maid outside the door sounded.
Huo Tian broke in directly: "If I don't come, are you going not to see me for the rest of your life?!" ”
Huo Junyuan looked up at him, this man seemed to be different from before, he used to think he was indifferent and ruthless, but now, he seems to show his childish side from time to time, complaining that he doesn't care about him, complaining that he didn't go to see him.
"What, no one cooks for you?" "It seems that I am doing slightly better than you" Huo Junyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the delicious food on the table.
"Say it again!" Huo Tian was so frightened that he blew his beard and glared.
"To eat or not to eat?"
"What do you think I'm here for?"
"Rub rice!"
Huo Tian was angry again, and the crutches were raised high and slowly lowered, but he was never willing to hit him.
"Master Huo, I'll add dishes and chopsticks for you," Uncle Li said.
"Hmm"
Waiting for Uncle Li to bring the dishes and chopsticks, Huo Junyuan had already finished gnawing a corn cob, Huo Tian looked at him without blinking, Huo Junyuan was stunned and didn't care about him, Huo Tian said angrily, "I really don't know who I followed?!" ”
“…………”
It was ten o'clock in the evening after the meal, Huo Tian asked Huo Junyuan to go back to the Huo family's old house with him, Huo Junyuan refused, and arranged for a driver to send Huo Tian, Huo Tian saw that he was depressed and refused to communicate with him, so he went back.
After Huo Tian left, Huo Junyuan sat alone at the window, gently raising his hand to trace An Nian's appearance, for a year, he had been thinking about her every day, and today, he seemed to think about it very much.
He unconsciously got up and walked to the window, the snow was particularly heavy today, and the snow piled up on the road and the street lights at night complemented each other, forming the best scenery at night.
Huo Junyuan put on his coat and went out, and he didn't know why, so he wanted to go out for a walk.
"Boom! Boom! ”
The New Year's Eve bell rang, cheers were heard in the distance, fireworks exploded in the air, and the faint smell of gunpowder smoke brought the taste of the New Year.
"Happy New Year." An Nian covered her ears and looked up at the sky, the night was so good.
She stood in the snow for a while, felt that her feet were a little numb, turned around and prepared to go back, and inadvertently looked up to see the person who was quietly looking at her, her heart skipped a beat, and she forgot the world and the time for a while.
"You're back." Huo Junyuan's voice was hoarse.
He stood a few meters away and did not step forward, worried that she was just an illusion that he missed too much, and that if he walked over, this illusory shadow would disappear without a trace.
Four eyes to each other, one glance for ten thousand years.
I don't know how long it took, An Nian put his hands in his pockets, walked over slowly, and stood still in front of Huo Junyuan: "Happy New Year." ”
"Happy New Year." Huo Junyuan said softly, raising his hand to help her stroke the snowflakes in her hair, but his hand reached out and took it back, worried that he would make her unhappy, "When did you come back?" ”
An Nian pursed her lips: "Today, oh no, it's last night." ”
The New Year's Eve bell has passed, and it is now the first day of the New Year, and the snowflakes are still falling, falling gently in front of the eyes of the two of them, sinking into the ground, without a sound.
"Bang! Syllable! ”
The naughty child ran out to throw firecrackers, and the sudden sound made An Nian jump up, and the next second he fell into a thick, warm, familiar, and longing embrace.
Huo Junyuan wrapped his hands around her waist, and the familiar fragrance of hair penetrated into her nostrils, like soft little hands, teasing sensitive and restrained nerves.
"Are you alright?" He reluctantly let go of her, and there was still a residual temperature in his palm.
Take a step back and stand up, not far away, not too close, afraid that you will scare her away.
An Nian looked at Huo Junyuan quietly, the fireworks in the sky should be in his eyes, bright like a bright starry sky, breathtaking.
"Thank you." She smiled lightly.
Huo Junyuan pursed his lips and put his hands back in his pockets: "It's late, rest early." ”
He shifted his steps, ready to leave.
"Fireworks are going off by the river, do you want to go together?" An Nian suddenly asked, seeing the shock in Huo Junyuan's eyes, her voice was gentle like a freshly melted snowflake, "I heard that it is very grand and beautiful." ”
"Okay."
