Chinese New Year is another novel word.

Aji looked at Gu Lan's side face seriously, there was little sunlight in winter, her skin seemed to be fairer, full of vitality, and the peach-like plush on her face was clearly visible, like a very attractive peach.

Aji's fingers were a little itchy, and the fingers he hid in his sleeves clenched, as if he wanted to distract himself: "New Year, what do you mean?" ”

This era also has a year divided into 365 days, like a parallel world from a previous life, but much worse, like a fragmented puzzle with many pieces missing.

And what Gu Lan has to do is to complete these puzzle pieces and make it closer to the peach blossom source she wants.

"The meaning of the New Year is that this year's days have run out, and the day when the year ends and the prime minister intersect is Chinese New Year's Eve, and spending this day is called the New Year."

In fact, there are still many rules, what a small year and Chinese New Year's Eve, but the other day was too busy, Gu Lan also forgot about these.

In any case, the Chinese New Year is unforgettable.

This seems to be engraved into the DNA of every Chinese person, wherever you go, even if you are alone, you must take Chinese New Year's Eve seriously.

Maybe that's the sense of ritual.

Gu Lan and Aji chatted while walking, she didn't mention the things in her previous life, she only said that she thought this day was very interesting, it was the end and the beginning, it was like a reincarnation, but it was completely different, at this node, they could sort out the past and look forward to the future, isn't it interesting?

Aji listened carefully, with a gentle smile on his face, he agreed with Gu Lan's words, "Why didn't I notice it before?" It is indeed a very interesting day, how are you going to celebrate the New Year? ”

Before he met Gu Lan, his life was boring like a blank piece of paper, on which only two words were written, "revenge", but he did not write how to take revenge.

Aggie has always refused to think deeply, always feeling that this is an unsolvable problem.

But after meeting Gu Lan, his life seems to have more points.

And this time, Gu Lan did not disappoint him.

She tilted her head and thought for a long time, snapped her fingers and said: "I want to paste couplets, eat a big meal, get together as a family, set off firecrackers to drive away the New Year beasts, keep vigil, eat dumplings ......"

The more Gu Lan thought about it, the more frustrated she became, she hadn't spent it like this for many years.

In her previous life, she was alone, although there was no shortage of friends, but on Chinese New Year's Eve, her friends all went home, and some friends invited her to go with her, but she was unwilling.

Chinese New Year is an important day for the family.

Does she have it now, though?

Gu Lan was like a deflated balloon, and before she could be comforted, she cheered herself up again: "You can write couplets by yourself, you can make big meals, and I can make dumplings, so let's celebrate the New Year like this year!" Be sure to make firecrackers next year! ”

She clenched her fists and looked very cute.

Aggie listened to the new words that kept coming out of her mouth, "What is the Year Beast?" ”

"The Year Beast is also something in the story, do you want to listen to it?"

"Yes."

Gu Lan and Aji walked slowly in the snow, she recalled for a while, made up for the forgotten part, and pulled out a story about the Nian Beast.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a kind of demon beast that would flee to the world every year at the end of the year, scourge the world, at that time there were no firecrackers in the world, people could only hide in fear at home, praying for the dawn.

Later, there was a brave and clever woman, she found that the Nian Beast was afraid of fire, so she lit a candle every night to drive away the Nian Beast, and the Nian Beast was driven away, but soon, it found that the candle flame could not hurt it, and it came back again.

People also picked up the courage to fight against the Nian Beast.

Finally, someone found firecrackers, as long as the firecrackers were set off in every house, the Nian beast thought it was thunder, and was very scared, so it would be driven away.

Gu Lan has forgotten whether the prototype of the story is like this, but it is similar when I think about it, there are many loopholes in the story, but what does it matter.

She turned her face sideways to look at Aji, who stopped at some point, and Gu Lan was facing his flushed face.

The beautiful glass-like eyes are as moist as if they were immersed in water.

Aji is eight feet tall, and Gu Lan has only reached below his collarbone, and he has both the youthful aura of a teenager and the bookish anger of a scholar.

He didn't look like a prince at all, more like a goblin in the mountains, with a clean breath.

It's just that such a pure person has such a complicated fate.

Aji didn't have the courage to bear everything he should face, and it was his luck to meet Gu Lan.

Or is it misfortune?

"Alain......" His voice was also trembling, and he lowered his head to look at the intertwined fingers of the two, his eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

Gu Lan's heart seemed to be gently scratched by a cat's paw.

She was fascinated by the story she had just told, and took Aggie's hand and interlocked her fingers with him.

Such a simple and casual action actually overwhelmed Aggie.

Gu Lan was surprised by his youthful reaction, and for some reason, there was still some secret happiness in her heart.

She stepped forward, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Aggie tried to back away, but his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, motionless.

He hung his hands in the air and let the girl crash into his arms.

The snow was pure, and at some point, snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.

Gu Lan hugged his slender waist with satisfaction, a little surprised that she didn't reject it at all.

She is no longer a young girl like Aggie in her heart.

But after seeing Aji's reaction, he was still tugged at the heartstrings of silence.

"Aggie, are you scared?"

Aggie was at a loss, and his ears were red as if they were about to drip blood.

He was hesitant to say that the two of them were not married yet, and they should not have such intimate behavior outside.

But another voice in his heart told him, "What's the matter? There is no one else here. ”

On one side is reason, on the other side is sensibility, and Aji is at war.

"I'm not afraid." As if to prove something, Aji bravely put his hand on Gu Lan's shoulder, and the young man regarded death as home.

Gu Lan snorted and almost died of laughter.

She hooked her phoenix eyes and hid in Aji's arms to look up, with a green charm at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Hold me like I hugged you."

As she spoke, her two small hands kept stroking Aggie's back.

Aggie blinked, like a flustered fawn.

He tentatively moved his hand down, and Gu Lan nestled in his arms, like a comfortable cat.

The weather was so cold that Aggie felt like he was sweating hot.

He finally hugged Gu Lan and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Alain," he called Gu Lan's nickname softly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Lan's mouth, and she rubbed against Aji's chest.

She said, "Aji, I will protect you." ”

This is her promise to Aggie.

After a while, he invited again: "Do you want to celebrate the New Year with me?" ”
