The New Year is approaching.

The engagement is basically ready.

Now just wait for the next year to pick up the junior sister back and get engaged.

In the past few days, Xu Zhimu has been accompanying An Xiaomi.

The two families seem to have a special tacit understanding, and they have returned to the way they used to get along.

Seeing that the two of them were tired of being together every day, they didn't say anything.

After all, An Xiaomi's physical condition is like a big stone that weighs on everyone's heart.

Perhaps, this is the last warm time for two people.

Even if they know that this is wrong, even if they know that they are sorry for Qingqing, but every time they see An Xiaomi's slightly pale face.

It's also distressing and I don't know what to say.

The day before the Chinese New Year, An Xiaomi's family went to her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Xu Zhimu was handling business at home alone, until the evening, when he suddenly received a phone call.

Cheng Fanmiao.

Looking at the name, Xu Zhimu was slightly stunned, and fed after connecting it.

"Happy New Year, dear~"

Cheng Fanmiao's trademark, slightly flattering voice came.

"Are you going to do it again?"

Xu Zhimu is used to her going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

As soon as she appears, something new will happen.

"During the Chinese New Year, everyone is the boss who sends red envelopes to employees who care about them or something, what about some people? Don't even want to say a word of blessing to others? ”

Cheng Fanmiao's dissatisfied voice came.

"The year-end bonus given to you this year is enough to make you a little rich woman, what other New Year's red envelopes do you see?"

Xu Zhimu said with a smile.

"It's different, I don't want money, but there must be blessings."

"Okay, I wish you good fortune like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan."

“…… Do you dare to be a little more perfunctory? ”

"And what else do you want?"

"Tomorrow is the New Year, let me, a small employee, invite Boss Xu to have a meal, how about the relationship between Panpan?"

Cheng Fanmiao's tone changed, and it became the usual cunning again.

Xu Zhimu and Cheng Fanmiao have eaten together a few times.

Cheng Fanmiao has a very poor amount of alcohol, but his character is not to be said, and he can always change his tricks to send some benefits to Xu Zhimu.

Let Xu Zhimu, a righteous gentleman who guards himself like jade, have to endure his bottom line every time.

"Boss Xu is inconvenient?"

Cheng Fanmiao didn't respond to him all the time, but instead spoke.

In fact, there is nothing inconvenient, speaking of which, the relationship between himself and Cheng Fanmiao is also a serious relationship between the boss and the employee.

It is also necessary to sit together for dinner once in a while.

"Eat?" Xu Zhimu confirmed.

"Of course, what else do you want to do?"

Cheng Fanmiao's grinning voice came out, and some words were coincidentally accented.

The corners of Xu Zhimu's mouth twitched.

"Where are you going?"

"How about coming to my house? The bed is big and comfortable, and I have prepared several sets of newly designed underwear~"

Cheng Fanmiao's seductive voice came.

"Hung up." Xu Zhimu doesn't eat this set anymore.

"Okay, okay, it's eating out, so don't you give this face."

Cheng Fanmiao said aggrievedly.

But Xu Zhimu wouldn't believe her at all: "What place? ”

"Under the bridge."

Cheng Fanmiao said softly.

Under the Bridge......

Xu Zhimu was stunned for a moment, he remembered the scene when he and Cheng Fanmiao really opened their hearts and chatted for the first time last time.

It's under a flyover not far from home.

That was Cheng Fanmiao's rarely known past.

This beautiful girl who looks frivolous and cunning, and even wants to play with people's hearts.

But there is an extremely dark past.

The bottom of the bridge is a special existence for Cheng Fanmiao.

Xu Zhimu has not responded.

Cheng Fanmiao said with a slight smile: "Then it's decided, I'll wait for you, no matter how late." ”

Say it, Cheng Fanmiao hung up the phone.

Xu Zhimu looked at the phone that was hung up, a little distracted.

Xu Zhimu and Cheng Fanmiao are the same kind of people, so he knows that people like them have an extremely sensitive place in their hearts.

For Xu Zhimu, the dim path and staircase where he met his junior sister was his most precious place.

It is easy not to let outsiders know.

And under that overpass, it is also the most sensitive place in Cheng Fanmiao's heart.

Xu Zhimu actually admires Cheng Fanmiao very much now.

If two people can be friends, it is also a very good choice.

But now, it's clear that the two of them can't be pure friends anymore.

But Xu Zhimu has provoked enough girls now.

Cheng Fanmiao showed the softest place in his heart to himself again and again.

Maybe one day, she will never be able to get out of herself.

Therefore, although the two people are very ambiguous every time, in fact, that boundary has always been strictly observed.

Xu Zhimu wanted to refuse, but Cheng Fanmiao didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Outside the window, there has been no snow for the past few days, but as the saying goes, snow does not turn snow cold, especially the temperature by the lake at night.

It is even colder, if you stay at this temperature all night, even Xu Zhimu's physique will catch a cold.

Moreover, Xu Zhimu knows very well that people like them are all brainless.

She said that she would wait for him, so she would definitely wait forever.

Xu Zhimu sighed helplessly.

Forget it, anyway, the body is not afraid of shadows.

I can't look at her standing under the overpass in the middle of winter, where there is no light.

Xu Zhimu got dressed and went downstairs, and drove all the way over.

Under the canal flyover.

In the summer, there are always many people walking their dogs at night.

However, in winter, the surface of the lake is covered with ice, and the temperature at the edge of the lake is even lower, and there are no people loitering within a radius of a few hundred meters.

The street lamps are far away to see the faint light, and there are no people nearby at all.

Xu Zhimu parked the car on the side of the road and followed the riverbank to remove the dry reeds that would break at the slightest touch.

Under the bridge that day.

Xu Zhimu saw the tall girl.

A long hair with large wavy waves, tall and plump, under this dark bridge hole.

It's like, in the strange story, those fox spirit illusionary beauties specially seduce passing men to come and eat them.

At this moment, Cheng Fanmiao was squatting by the river, as if he was tinkering with something, and his well-rounded buttocks were particularly eye-catching.

Xu Zhimu walked over quietly, before he had time to say hello.

Suddenly, a handful of fires were directly ignited, and Cheng Fanmiao put a lot of dry firewood in front of him, and built a temporary fire with gravel by the river.

She had a lighter in her hand and had just lit the match, but it was quickly extinguished again.

Cheng Fanmiao looked a little distressed.

"These firewood have just been thawed, and there is a lot of moisture, so they can't be lit."

Xu Zhimu's voice suddenly came.

Cheng Fanmiao subconsciously stirred up and turned around to look over.

Seeing that it was Xu Zhimu, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled slightly: "I thought you would come very late, it seems that people still have a bit of status in your heart." ”

Xu Zhimu ignored her teasing and looked around a little curiously.

Some scavenging branches, a large vat of mineral water, and a bag of materials that seemed to have something in it.

"What are you doing here? Warming up by fire? ”

"You help me light the fire first, and I'll tell you."

Cheng Fanmiao smiled mysteriously.

Xu Zhimu glanced at her, not curious about what she wanted to do, but the temperature was really cold.

Lighting a fire can also warm it up.

Xu Zhimu looked back, then walked over and broke some of the dry reeds that were blocking the road just now.

When the reed dries up, it is a good ignition material.

Xu Zhimu took the lighter, lit the dried reeds, and dried the firewood little by little, which slowly caused a fire.

The fire wasn't particularly big, but it brought some warmth.

Under the dark flyover, this fire is the only light.

Cheng Fanmiao kept watching his movements, with a faint luster in his fox eyes, without the teasing and cunning of the past.

Only some warmth illuminated by the light of the fire.

The fire was lit.

Xu Zhimu brought a stone as a stool and sat down, looking at Cheng Fanmiao: "Didn't you say that you wanted to invite me to dinner?" What about rice? ”

Cheng Fanmiao recovered from her daze: "Of course I have, I'll make it for you now, so that you can taste other people's exclusive secret recipes!" ”

Cheng Fanmiao said, and took out a jar of milk powder from the plastic bag next to him.

But it was empty inside, and it was directly placed in the fire by Cheng Fanmiao.

Then he poured some mineral water into the jar.

It seems to be used as a vessel to boil water.

Xu Zhimu was a little confused.

"What are you going to do?"

"Dumplings, let me tell you that the dumplings cooked like this are delicious."

Cheng Fanmiao took out another bag of dumplings from the plastic bag, looking at the shape, it should have been wrapped by Cheng Fanmiao himself.

Waiting for the water to feel like it boiling, I poured it directly.

In this way, under the cold wind overpass, a fire brought precious warmth, and the appearance of the milk powder jar burned by the fire had turned black.

The water inside was bubbling and bubbling, and the dumplings were rising and falling.

In this big winter, there is really a bit of a feeling of dumplings during the New Year.

"Milk powder cans to cook dumplings, if you don't get this thing right, there will be heavy metal residues...... Where did you learn? ”

Xu Zhimu looked at Cheng Fanmiao.

Although the metal of the milk powder jar is also good, there is no problem with eating something once or twice once in a while in an emergency.

"I know, but that's the only way I could eat steaming dumplings back in the day."

Cheng Fanmiao smiled indifferently, she poked the dumplings in the milk powder jar with chopsticks.

Then he looked at Xu Zhimu again: "Do you know? At that time, my mother and I used this method, and even used the water from the river next to it at that time, and it tasted a little fishy when cooked.

But I finally got my first hot meal after being displaced...... I will never forget that taste in my life. ”

Xu Zhimu glanced at her silently, and then looked at the dumplings tumbling up and down in the jar.

It's like her ups and downs in life, most of the time she is tormented in hot water.

"Forget it, it's the New Year's Day, don't you talk about it, do you drink?"

Cheng Fanmiao shook his head with a smile, took out another bottle of red wine, and shook it at Xu Zhimu.

Xu Zhimu nodded, and also smiled: "Drink some." ”

With this weather and temperature, you can't say it without a drink.

It would be nice to call a substitute driver later.

Cheng Fanmiao poured him a cup and sat opposite him, the two of them facing the fire, listening to the sound of cooing and boiling.

It's extraordinarily pleasant.

"Thank you Boss Xu for saving face today, drink one first."

Cheng Fanmiao raised his wine glass and touched it with Xu Zhimu.

Just take a bite to eat.

Xu Zhimu also took a sip, feeling that the degree of this wine was a little lower, no wonder Cheng Fanmiao could drink this broken amount of wine in one gulp.

"Hehe, the amount of alcohol is not good, and you can't let me use low-alcohol wine to pretend B?"

Cheng Fanmiao smiled very imagelessly, but her style is also suitable for this, but there is a feeling of a drunken ruffian goddess.

"It's good if you're happy."

Xu Zhimu nodded.

"By the way, this thing is for you."

Cheng Fanmiao suddenly took out something from his arms and handed it to Xu Zhimu.

"Red envelopes?"

Xu Zhimu took it and looked at it, it was really a red envelope, and it was quite thick.

"Aren't you and your little fiancée getting engaged? It's kind of my... Money. ”

Cheng Fanmiao spoke softly.

Xu Zhimu was stunned for a moment, pinched the red envelope in his hand, and then spoke: "It's just an engagement, according to the rules, you can't accept part of the money, and no matter how much money is collected in advance, it is the wedding scene......"

"Do you think your little fiancée will approve of me going to your wedding?" Cheng Fanmiao interrupted her, her slightly drunken flushed cheeks with an indescribable smile.

Xu Zhimu thought for a while: "She doesn't know you. ”

Although Cheng Fanmiao and the junior sister have encountered several times, they have only met for a short time.

And between himself and Cheng Fanmiao, he is now innocent.

"Yes, your little fiancée may not know me, but what about your childhood sweetheart godsister? She's always looked at me unpleasantly. ”

When Cheng Fanmiao mentioned An Xiaomi, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile.

After all, if you only talk about her appearance, An Xiaomi is really a good-looking opponent, and she can't catch up.

But in terms of figure, he is definitely better than her.

This is also the main reason why An Xiaomi has always been obsessed with her and is particularly hostile to her.

Xu Zhimu also remembered the events of his high school days, which was a month after he had just returned from rebirth.

Cheng Fanmiao's sudden appearance gave An Xiaomi an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the proud character of the girl is so innocent and coquettish now.

Thinking of these youthful pasts, Xu Zhimu couldn't help but smile.

It's just that...

Xu Zhimu's smile slowly converged again, and the girl in his memory ran through his entire youth.

Can or can you be reborn again?

"Am I... What did you say wrong? ”

Cheng Fanmiao's voice interrupted Xu Zhimu's thoughts.

"No, I remembered something."

Xu Zhimu shook his head.

"So, can you tell me about it? Perhaps, I can help you with your worries. ”

Cheng Fanmiao raised a pair of fox eyes, his gaze was a little confused.

Xu Zhimu looked at her, and after a long time, he shook his head gently: "It's my own business." ”

Cheng Fanmiao looked at his cheeks.

Yes, the thing that can make him worry may be the deepest scar in his heart.

How can you easily say it in front of others, this is no less than tearing open your own wounds to show the other party......

"I understand."

Cheng Fanmiao lowered her head and looked at the dumplings that were still boiling up and down in the milk powder jar.

Suddenly, she raised her head and her eyes blinked slightly, she smiled and said to Xu Zhimu: "That... Would you like to hear my story again? ”

Coming, these days on a business trip, the code word time is very little, are staying up late at night, this number can not be guaranteed, everyone forgive me.

Thanks for the support.
