It was getting dark outside, so Gu Lian asked Sister Li to turn on the light in the porch, and then sat on the couch with her child in her arms, coaxing her gently.
The little guy probably didn't sleep well in her belly, so he was eager to catch up on his sleep as soon as he came out. It was not difficult at all and was very considerate.
She smelled the fragrance of milk on the child, and that person's face came to mind again. She couldn't help but frown, and she raised her head and glanced outside.
Under the dark street lights, there was a vague figure. Leaning behind the car, she could only see the flickering light of the fire, which was probably a cigarette butt.
"Uh-" The little guy moved.
Gu Lian quickly looked away, pressed the remote control, closed the curtains, and prepared to breastfeed the child.
Outside the villa
The snow fell a little heavier again, falling on the man's shoulders and hair, and even his eyelashes were stained with white.
Holding the cigarette between his fingertips, he took a strong drag and turned to look towards the second floor.
The curtains were closed, blocking the already blurry people from where he could see them.
His breath was slightly confused and he was choked by the smoke, which made him cough softly while holding on to the car.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
He quickly took it out and as soon as he unlocked it, snowflakes fell on the screen and turned into small water droplets, blurring the picture.
He eagerly opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, took out a tissue and carefully wiped away the water droplets.
Click to open the screen.
Three pictures in a row are all pictures of babies. The little guy has his eyes closed the whole time and seems to be sleeping.
He seems to be well-behaved and clever.
He raised his hand to wipe his face and continued to scroll down.
The last one is not a child, but... Gu Lian.
She closed her eyes and leaned on the couch, her hair sticking to her cheeks, covering most of her face. The photo was taken secretly and was not clear.
Lu Zechen's fingertips trembled slightly and he enlarged the picture a little.
His eyes were almost lustful, and he looked at it intently for a long time.
It was as if a hole had been torn open in his heart, and a thin stream of cold wind was pouring in. He was leaning on the steering wheel in pain, holding the phone tightly in his hand.
After a while, he straightened up with difficulty and looked out the window.
The lights in the courtyard of the villa were all turned on, and it was bright, illuminating the snowflakes particularly clearly.
I can see everything except the people in the house.
…
seven o'clock
Song Xiang arrived at the villa, but Yan Han hadn't come back yet. As soon as she got out of the car, she heard shouting from upstairs.
"Daughter-in-law!"
Anxu month?
She turned her head and looked towards the second floor, and sure enough, it was An Xuyue waving outside.
"Come up here and let's set off fireworks together!"
Song Xiang heard the sound and trotted into the living room. He quickly changed his shoes and went upstairs to find someone.
An Xuyue was on the balcony on the second floor. Song Xiang opened the door and went out, smelling a strong smell of barbecue.
She looked to the side and saw Yan Zhicheng sitting in front of the stove under the small pavilion, handling a pile of meat with a stern expression.
"Yan Zhicheng, grill two skewers for your daughter-in-law, please hurry up!"
Yan Zhicheng raised his head, glanced at Song Xiang coolly, hummed lightly, turned around and put two more skewers of meat on the stove.
Song Xiang sniffed, jumped to An Xuyue, and took the fairy wand from her hand.
An Xuyue held a barbecue in one hand and a fairy stick in the other. She also asked Song Xiang to light up the firecrackers. She was very playful.
Song Xiang ran after her and soon broke out in a sweat.
After playing around, An Xuyue hugged her and jumped around, feeling very happy and said, "Daughter-in-law, you must be an angel."
"ah?"
"Xiao Yan is happy now that you are here. I haven't spent the New Year with him in more than ten years."
