CRR had reservations about me, and I had no choice but to nod half-knowingly.

She smiled at me and stroked my face with her index finger running over my cheek.

"Ah soft, you really teach people to yearn for it." CRR looked at me with a revered look, a slightly glowing look in his eyes, like a sharp knife, almost peeling off my body and passing through my soul.

I took a look at her well-trimmed forehead nails and noticed that she had beautiful hands, which were works of art. It's hard to imagine that life is upside down, and there can be a pair of hands like this.

"CRR, you always say things you shouldn't say."

A hoarse and sluggish voice suddenly sounded.

I looked at Qiao Shendong sharply, his eyes were closed and he looked very quiet, if it weren't for the slightly fluttering eyelashes, it would be almost impossible to tell that he had woken up.

"Little Joe" I subconsciously held his hand and called his name.

Qiao Shendong opened his eyes and looked at me with a smile, "Ah Soft, I said that I would come back to accompany you for the Spring Festival." ”

I hummed, my eyes heated.

I hardly knew what to say, and now Joe Deep Winter, lying in front of me, seemed to have come back from another parallel dimension. He has a past I don't know about, and every scar has a story with gunsmoke.

I never knew those stories, and I never understood why Joe Deep Winter chose this path.

He knows all I am, and I only know who I think he is.

"Ah soft, I'll tell you all about it in the future." Qiao Shendong seemed to see through my thoughts, and there was apology in his eyes, "I may have to trouble you next." ”

"As long as it can help you, everything will be done." I whispered.

As long as I have it, as long as he wants it.

Qiao Shendong is on the same level as the third brother in my life, and he almost gives me a new life.

I ran downstairs to tell Xiao Qingmo Qiao the news that he had woken up in the middle of winter, and he gave me a lukewarm look, put the dumpling filling on the plate, and washed his hands.

"Third brother," I leaned over to look at him with a smile.

He wiped his hands, put his index finger against my forehead, pushed me away little by little, and suddenly sighed, "I'm really jealous of Qiao Shendong." ”

"What's jealous." I cheekily went over and hugged him, hugged his waist, and looked up at him, "How about waiting for Little Joe to get well, let's go on vacation together"

"Not good." He moved slowly, opening the refrigerator to get something.

I hung in his arms like a koala and said to myself, "Let's go to the beach, the Maldives is still Saipan, and I went to the Maldives once when I was a child." ”

Xiao Qingmo didn't have anything to do with me, my arm had just grown, so he didn't dare to drag me.

"Not going anywhere." Xiao Qingmo put down the eggplant in his hand, hugged me in his arms, and could cut vegetables freely.

I was trapped by him on the edge of the table, humming, "What's so jealous." ”

He didn't pay attention to me and cut the vegetables.

I just got out of his arm and stayed with him.

Xiao Qingmo cooked three simple dishes in a row, without even looking at me, and I realized that he was probably really angry.

He took out the porridge he had cooked before, and called Xiao Ran to bring it upstairs.

I originally wanted to go up to take care of Qiao Shendong for dinner, but after looking at his face, I sat silently on the edge of the table.

Xiao Ran sat down beside me and obediently began to eat.

Xiao Qingmo went upstairs, and after a while, CRR came down to eat.

"Joe Winter." Xiao Qingmo looked at the person who was leaning on the bedside eating porridge, and said slowly: "A few years ago, I was jealous that you had all the unreserved trust that Su Ruan has. A few years later, I'll still be jealous of you, and I can easily take away all her attention. ”

Sixteen-year-old Su Ruan is actually no different from twenty-three-year-old her, her heart is still sensitive, and it is difficult to deliver her feelings, like a little white-eyed wolf that is difficult to feed.

Xiao Qingmo was completely convinced that if Su Ruan hadn't remembered what they had known before. In the future, no matter what he does, no matter how he proves that he loves her, she will keep a copy in her heart.

In his midnight dream, he looked at Su Ruan sleeping beside him, and he was extremely glad that he could meet Su Ruan in Rongcheng at that time. I can't help but think that there is someone who met Su Ruan earlier than him, and that is Qiao Shendong.

Su Ruan just proposed to him to go on vacation, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to drag Qiao Shendong.

Regarding Joe's deep winter, CRR probably told her a little bit.

Qiao Shendong put down the bowl and said with great ease: "I am very glad that I am Ah Ruan's brother, otherwise, you will definitely do everything to get rid of me." ”

When he first met Xiao Qingmo, he didn't reveal his identity, and he could almost feel that this cold-looking man had an almost indelible hostility towards him.

At that moment, he had no doubt that if he was really Xiao Qingmo's rival, he would definitely seize an opportunity to clear him out of Ah Soft's sight forever.

"It's cousin." Xiao Qingmo added.

Qiao Shendong smiled meaningfully, implying that he and Ah Ruan still had some possibility.

Xiao Qingmo also did not hide his heart, "Besides, Su Ruan didn't know that you were her brother." ”

"I'll find out soon." Qiao Shendong subconsciously stroked the wound on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Now that I am on an equal footing with them, the final decision has become something that Shen Biqing took away back then." ”

Back then, Shen Biqing didn't have much to take away when she got married, and it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge industry of the Shen family, but now it has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

It's just that it is unknown which camel this straw will fall on.

Xiao Qingmo tried his best to protect Su Ruan, but it was no longer possible.

Qiao Shendong is destined to drag her into that whirlpool, and Su Soft will eventually choose the direction where Qiao Shendong is.

Xiao Qingmo couldn't help but think to herself, if he let Su Ruan refuse, would she listen to him.

No, he didn't even dare to try.

Chinese New Year's Eve came very quickly.

The sound of firecrackers outside followed three times, and Xiao Ran wanted to try it, so I took him to play with a few fairy sticks on the balcony.

We sat together for a New Year's dinner, Qiao Shendong took medicine and fell asleep, and CRR didn't dare to be interested in Chinese customs and went to sleep.

The Spring Festival Gala on TV is not interesting, but it always has a bit of a New Year's flavor.

After eating, I sent Xiao Ran back to sleep, he was too young to stay up late.

There was no guest room at home before, so Xiao Qingmo asked someone to renovate it and clean up a small room for Xiao Ran on the second floor. The rest of the place is none, and CRR still sleeps in the study wrapped in a sleeping bag.

When I came down from the upper floor, I couldn't help but think that I had to leave one or two rooms in the future to change houses, otherwise it would be too inconvenient. In such a big house, Xiao Qingmo only has one bedroom and one study upstairs, which is a waste of space.

His room was big enough to play football, and it used to be cold and empty.

After going downstairs, the outside was already tidyed, and Xiao Qingmo sat on the sofa staring at the TV.

is acting in a sketch, he has never been interested in this kind of thing, probably he is wandering.

I went over to nestle in his arms, and he naturally pinched my chin.

"Did I spend the New Year with you before?" I asked him curiously.

Xiao Qingmo leaned back, hugged me in his arms, and thought for a while, "You were together when you were seventeen years old." ”

Spent Chinese New Year's Eve together, but that doesn't count anymore. Because when he flew back to Rongcheng from Haicheng, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was twelve o'clock.

They stayed together for a whole year, and even if he went out, he would take Su Soft with him.

It's just that he has to go back to Haicheng on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he can't take her with him.

"You have to be with your family." Su Ruan was lying in his arms, and said very understandingly, but his expression was wilted, and he was obviously unhappy.

He had no choice but to stay at the last minute to rush back to Haicheng.

As soon as it was over, I came back overnight. It was a very cold night in Rongcheng, and when he went back, he saw that the room was dark.

When he called, Su Ruan told him that he was here, and the Feng family had gone to Hainan for the New Year, and she was alone.

When I went upstairs and turned on the light, I saw that the little girl was lying on the bed pitifully.

He walked over in a few steps and touched her forehead, feverish.

Before she had time to change her clothes, she cooked porridge and fed her medicine.

The little girl was in a daze, looking at him with half-open eyes, "Third brother, are you back today the second year of junior high school?"

When he left, he said that he would come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"It's not." Xiao Qingmo stuffed her back into the quilt and lay down with her.

"Third brother."

"Hmm"

"Can I marry you later?"

"Why"

"Because I also want to be your family, we spend every year together on Chinese New Year's Eve."

At that time, Xiao Qingmo didn't know exactly how he felt, and the answer he wanted was to like and love. But when I heard Su Ruan say this, I only felt that my heart was like a piece of ice, leaning on the stove, and it all melted away.

After a while, he said, "Su Ruan, if you still think like this when you are 23 years old, we will get married." Every Chinese New Year's Eve from now on, okay?"

At the age of 23, I have finished college, met many people in this world, and experienced some things in this society. When the decision was made at that time, it could already be borne for the rest of your life.

What Xiao Qingmo wants is a definite future for Su Soft.

Unfortunately, the little girl did not hear it, and when the effect of the medicine came up, she was already groggily asleep. She was the only one who did not retreat, and it was like a small stove when she was next to him.

At that time, Su Soft's wish was to spend every Chinese New Year's Eve with Xiao Qingmo, but unfortunately, it was not until many years later that the two really spent Chinese New Year's Eve together.

"Nope." Xiao Qingmo put his arm around me and said, "I haven't done it before. ”

I felt a little regretful in my heart, then put my arms around his neck and said in his ear: "Husband, we can spend every Chinese New Year's Eve together from now on, because we are a family." ”

Xiao Qingmo grabbed my arm and suddenly felt a little harder, and only after a while did he say: "There are two outsiders at home, Su Ruan, are you sure you want to tease me like this?"
