is about to usher in the New Year's Day of 2024, Shen Yin went to the community to buy hanging paintings and lanterns, planning to celebrate with Xiaojin. Just now Wang Hai called and said that he invited her to a party, but she refused.

There was cheerful music playing in the room, she was lying on the railing of the balcony looking up at the starry sky, but the sky was dark, and the cold wind blowing outside made her want to add a thick dress, and Xiao Jin lazily lay at her feet and fell asleep, not knowing when it had practiced the ability to resist frost.

"Xiaojin, shall we go in?" She picked up Xiaojin and walked into the living room, the chill on her body gradually subsided, and she didn't want to move when she was lying on the sofa.

Looking at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, it should be ten minutes before my sister calls. It was the promise they made when they first separated that they would have to call each other once at midnight blackjack three nights before the festival, no matter where they were.

She took some snacks out of the fridge and put them on the table, ready to eat snacks and chat with her sister for a while. But just five minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Jin prick up her ears vigilantly and ran towards the door, she didn't remember who called in advance to come over, so she first lay down at the cat's eye and looked outside, and it was Xiang Fan who was standing outside.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here?" She was surprised that he hadn't stated in advance that he would come over today.

Shen Yin opened the door and mysteriously handed her a bouquet of red roses to Fan, "Happy New Year!" ”

"I asked for annual leave from the unit in advance, but this time I came empty-handed, can you drive me away?"

"You're the best New Year's gift I've ever received, how can I be willing to drive you away."

Jin crawled into the nest to sleep, and they sat on the sofa and began to chat.

As soon as she was halfway through a sentence, her sister's video call came, and she sat up straight to answer the channel: "Yuehuan, Happy New Year!" ”

Shen Yuewan frowned, looking very unhappy, her eyes were red and swollen, and all the emotions of loss after seeing her sister burst out, "Sister, I miss you so much, can you come over to accompany me?" She hugged the pillow and sobbed quietly, crying, "I'm sorry! I really can't hold on anymore. ”

She looked at the notebook in a panic, "Yuehuan, what happened?" She could feel her sister's sadness through the screen.

"It's okay, I just miss you too much." After Shen Yuewan finished crying, she smiled at the screen, she felt that she couldn't let her sister worry so much anymore, as long as she could see her sister's appearance and hear her sister's voice, she could feel hope, and the claws of despair would always loosen.

Shen Yin knew that something was wrong, and felt that her sister must have encountered something bad, but when she asked again and again, Shen Yuehuan smiled and said that it was okay, saying that she was joking just now.

Xiang Fan came out of the bathroom and heard their conversation clearly, because she had turned on the speakerphone just now, and the whole room could hear it.

"Sister, is there a man in your room?" The defense line facing the screen could just see the direction of the shoe cabinet, and Shen Yuehuan saw at a glance that there was a pair of men's sneakers placed on top of the shoe rack.

She pointed the screen at Xiang Fan and stood beside him, "Yuehuan, he is Xiang Fan, we are dating now." She didn't shy away from it, anyway, her sister had already known about Xiang Fan's existence, so she just took this opportunity to get to know each other.

"Hello, you must already know my name - Shen Yuehuan, I heard that you proposed to my sister before?" Shen Yuehuan went straight to the point, and always kept three points of doubt about the man who wanted to contact her sister.

"Yes, I really want to be good to her, and I am willing to protect her for the rest of her life." Xiang Fan was rarely so serious, and she was a little moved.

"I'll be staring at you!" Shen Yuewan swiped her right index finger across her temple and pointed at him, "If you do something sorry for my sister, I will never let you go." ”

"You can rest assured, I would love you to be this witness." Xiang Fan also curled his lips and smiled.

Shen Yuewan hung up without saying a few words, but she had been uneasy in her heart, she had secretly recorded the screen since she heard her sister's cry, and now she is playing back the video over and over again to see if she can find clues from it.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Fan sat down beside her with a can of beer, and when he saw her serious appearance, he couldn't help but be curious.

She put her hands on the table, and her hot cheeks touched the cold glass tabletop, which made her feel a lot calmer, "Actually, after the conversation just now, I feel that Yuehuan has something to hide from me, but she doesn't want to tell me, I really fail." She was anxious and wanted to hit her head against the glass, but Xiang Fan put his palm on her forehead.

"Since you're so worried, how about you go and see for yourself?"

Her mind was instantly opened, "Great idea, I'll book my tickets online right now." She sat up excitedly and picked up her notebook from her desk to search for directions. She only knew her sister's address, and she didn't know how to get there.

Xiang Fan leaned over and watched her operate curiously, but smiled the moment he saw her open the webpage.

"What's wrong?" She looked at him blankly, not knowing where the laughter was.

Xiang Fan pulled the notebook in her hand, "I'll come, you tell me Yuehuan's address." ”

She rarely buys air tickets online, and even the last time she came over, Hu Xiangxiang helped her**, and she didn't even know what the URL of the ticket was.

He skillfully opened the webpage and found the flight information for each time slot, "You want that time slot?" ”

"Of course, the sooner the better."

After jumping to the payment page, she noticed that Xiang Fan actually bought a ticket for two people, "You go too?" ”

"Of course, are you going to let me show you your home?" Xiang Fan's eyes widened and looked at her aggrievedly, this kind of look was especially like when Xiao Jin was hungry and wanted to eat.

"Okay, then I'll ask Wang Hai to help me take care of Xiaojin for a few days."

Due to the recent cooler weather, it is still a little cold if you don't turn on the air conditioner or electric blanket when you sleep at night. Xiang Fan offered to sleep in the living room, but she refused, "My bed is big enough, why don't we sleep in the bed?" ”

Xiang Fan pondered for a moment and looked at her with a little meaning.

She suddenly realized something, and hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm worried that I'm going out tomorrow, and it's just inconvenient to catch a cold." ”

Xiang Fan's eyebrows curled, poked her forehead, and walked into the bedroom with a pillow and quilt.

She stayed where she was, feeling that she had just been inferior, and that he had seen through all the thoughts in her heart.

"No, we haven't been in touch for a year, how are you doing?" She reassured Kim and tried not to make it sound again.

"I just came here and opened a logistics company with a friend, but not long ago I couldn't run it for some reasons, so I withdrew my capital and went it alone, and now the income can barely survive." Yan Pei jokingly talked about his experience in recent years, "This is also thanks to my cousin's exemplary role, so that I can be like this." ”

"Haha...... But he's really good. ”

They talked about Zhou Fansheng's marriage along the way, and after a long time, Yan Pei turned his head and asked while waiting for the green light: "Why did you come here to develop?" ”

"Uh...... I'm divorced. She couldn't find a better reason, so she told the truth, "I just want a change of environment." ”

Yan Pei was very surprised but speechless, seeing that the street lamp in front of him had turned green, "You have terminated the contract with my cousin's studio now?" ”

"No, he gave me a break, but I also want to survive here, so I found a new company." She leaned back in the back seat, and the cold air through the crack in the window made her feel much more comfortable, because the car smelled faintly of cigarettes.

Yan Pei didn't know when he opened the driver's window, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "No one can predict the future, the future we are about to face is full of unknowns, and only by maintaining our original intention can we be worthy of our hearts." ”

"Hu Xiangxiang's child will be born after the Chinese New Year next year, do you know about it?" She didn't know why she brought it up in front of him, maybe she wanted to confirm his feelings for Hu Xiangxiang.

"Well, my wife is also pregnant, and the due date is next summer."

She thought she was so ridiculous that she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha...... Congratulations in advance. ”

"Thank you, please come and join the children's full moon wine then." Yan Pei snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said with a hearty smile.

He parked his car in front of a "big world food city", "It's rare for us to meet, how about having dinner together?" ”

"Well, it's a celebration to meet in a foreign land."

They walked into this food city, and the waiter came over enthusiastically, "Mr. Yan, you are here!" ”

"A small private room." He skillfully led Shen Yin towards the food selection area, he often came to this store to eat, and most of the clerks knew him.

After the dishes were chosen, they walked into a small private room under the leadership of the waiter, Shen Yin kept holding Xiao Jin in his arms, Xiao Jin was a little scared of the colorful lights here, and looked around with round eyes vigilantly.

After the cold dishes were served, she put Xiao Jin on the stool next to her, and the two began to chat while drinking.

"Shen Yin, I have always admired your character, and I have always felt that you are like a 'Xiaoqiang who can't be killed', and you are also very resilient. I just didn't expect this to happen to someone as good as you, alas! Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable. Yan Pei handed over the cup and motioned to clink glasses.

"Yes, to live is to practice." She said half-jokingly, as if she was back to the unscrupulous time in high school. Every day, I look forward to the early arrival of my spare time, sitting on the playground and chatting with my friends, and imagining the future.

Yan Pei took a big sip of beer and said with a smile: "You don't have to pick and choose, you can make do with good people when you meet them, life is always about choosing the right person." My current wife and I met on a blind date, and we're doing well. ”

"Not Liu Xuehao?" She remembered that Hu Xiangxiang said that Yan Pei and Liu Xuehao met in a bar, so his wife was not Liu Xuehao.

"Huh? You remember her," he chuckled, "and we're just playing together, that's the relationship." ”
