The night in the mountains was slightly cold, and several fires were set up in the yard. Everyone gathered around to warm up, and a barbecue grill was set up nearby. The adults were busy barbecuing, and the children were only responsible for eating and drinking.
The children are versatile, some sing, some play the piano, and some dance. At the busiest time, everyone held hands and formed a circle, played music, and sang and danced around the fire, like ethnic minorities celebrating the New Year.
When he was tired of dancing and playing, he sat down to eat barbecue and drink beer. Ji Yunqi leaned against Ye Muan and was very happy.
"Are you happy?" Ye Mu'an tilted his head and asked her.
"Yeah, yeah." Ji Yunqi nodded repeatedly: "I'm so happy. I've never been so happy. I feel like my abs are showing out from laughing today. I'm the only child in my family, and I've never been out with so many people.
I’ve played before, it’s great to have brothers and sisters.”
Ye Muan rubbed her head: "They will also be your brothers and sisters from now on."
When Ji Yun smiled, his eyes curved into two small crescents, which were more beautiful than the crescent moon in the sky.
Ye Muyi had been drinking, and her eyes would always stay on Xia Song. She didn't know who she was chatting with, and always lowered her head to reply to messages on her phone. When he raised his eyes to look at her again, her phone rang, and she got up and went to the backyard.
Answer the phone.
Compared to the bustle of the front yard, the backyard was like another space. It was exceptionally quiet. She talked softly to the person on the other end of the phone: "We are playing at the Hot Spring Villa, how about you?"
"Working in the city hall is harder. When my grandfather was young, he rarely spent the New Year at home."
"Well, I didn't drink much."
"Okay, you should go to bed early and don't work too hard."
After a few simple conversations, Xia Song hung up the phone. Xia Song put away her phone and turned around to see Ye Muyi, who was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"When did you come?" Xia Song patted his chest in shock.
"Who are you calling?" Ye Muyi asked without answering.
Xia Song told the truth: "Han Yao."
Ye Muyi had already guessed it, and his brows furrowed further: "Are you already dating?"
"Fourth brother, are you taking too much care? I don't need to report to you who I date." Xia Song also frowned. She had been quarreling with Ye Muyi recently about Han Yao and really didn't want to talk more about Han Yao.
Ye Muyi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He found a usual excuse: "I am your brother."
"I have many brothers, and they don't care about things like you. Just take care of your own emotional problems. You don't need to worry about mine." Xia Song said with a stern face.
"What relationship problems do I have?" Ye Muyi was confused. He was not on a blind date with anyone else.
"Have you not had enough scandals?" This sentence almost blurted out from Xia Song's mouth.
Ye Muyi was startled for a moment, then grinned, and suddenly bent down to get close to her face: "Songsong, are you jealous?"
Xia Song suddenly stepped back as if someone had stepped on her tail. As a result, she fell backwards before she could stand firm.
Ye Muyi stretched out his arm to catch her, their upper bodies were touching, and their lips almost touched.
Xia Song held his breath for a moment and did not dare to move.
Ye Muyi just looked at her like this. Under the moonlight, her cheeks slowly turned crimson, and he could still hear the sound of her jumping around, like a stumbling deer.
"Songsong." He opened his mouth, and the faint smell of alcohol sprayed on her face, and his voice sounded true and false: "Do you like me?"
Buzz!
Xia Song's mind exploded in an instant. She was like a criminal suspect whose "crime" was exposed. Faced with the police's interrogation of the evidence, she was so frightened that she had nowhere to hide.
"Your face is very red and your heartbeat is fast. Do you like me?" There was a smile in his voice.
Xia Song felt as embarrassed as if she had been stripped naked by Ye Muyi. The secret she had concealed for more than ten years was exposed by the person involved. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to kill her, and at the same time, she felt a surge of shame and anger.
Why could he ask it so calmly? What answer did he want to get, and what did he want to say after getting the answer? Did he tell her that he only regarded her as his sister?
Xia Song didn't know where she got the strength to push him away. The force was reciprocal. She pushed him away and fell to the ground, letting out a soft squeak.
Ye Muyi was pushed and staggered. Seeing her fall, he hurriedly reached out to help her.
"Go away!" Xia Song waved his hand away, stood up, and stumbled away.
She ran back from the backyard and ran back to the next yard without saying hello, like a gust of wind, no one knew what happened to her.
The adults were busy barbecuing and didn't notice that Xia Song was gone. Someone on the children's side saw it, and Chu Chu asked: "What's wrong with Sister Songsong? I seem to see her eyes are red."
"You're not crying, are you? Should we go and see if you feel unwell?" Cheng Yue said worriedly.
Shen Nian came over mischievously and whispered: "I'm not crying, I'm angry."
Her voice was low, but everyone around her could hear it. Everyone looked towards her, waiting for her next words.
"Hehe, I just wanted to call Sister Songsong to come over and eat grilled crab legs. When I was passing by, I saw Brother Erbao kissing Sister Songsong. Sister Songsong was very angry, pushed Brother Erbao away and ran away." Shen Nian.
Tell what you saw in a gossipy tone.
"Ah!" Chu Chu was startled and quickly covered her mouth.
The others also looked at each other, equally shocked.
What's going on? Did classmate Ye Erbao finally realize that he likes Xia Song?
"Why do I feel something is wrong?" Tang Xintian looked at the other older sisters.
Jiao Jiao nodded: "Same feeling."
"Things are not that simple." Jiang Yunjin also felt that something was fishy.
Ji Yunqi was a little worried: "How about I go take a look?"
Ye Yirui held her down and said, "It's okay. We've finally made some progress. We'll just wait and see what happens."
Ji Yunqi:......
A god-like sister.
When Ye Muyi came back, he was obviously in a much better mood than before. He was like a cat that had stolen something, but it almost had its proud tail raised to the sky.
"I heard that you kissed Sister Songsong?" Su Yi handed him a can of beer and asked gossiping.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that?" Ye Muyi took the beer and glanced around the other people's faces.
Shen Nian felt guilty and ran to the adults to get food.
Ye Muyi smiled and cursed: "You stinky girl, I'll deal with you later."
Everyone understood that things were definitely not what Shen Nian said. But seeing that Ye Muyi was in such a good mood, he must have been the one who took advantage.
"Your second brother is in such a good mood. Could it be that he confessed his love to Songsong and Songsong ran away because he was shy?" Ji Yunqi whispered and whispered to Ye Yirui.
Ye Yirui said with great disdain: "If my second brother is so enlightened, how can he have anything to do with Han Yao? I don't know what stupid thing he did to offend Sister Songsong."
Ji Yunqi made a sound: "Then I think he still looks like he doesn't know himself."
"That's why I said there was something good to watch." Ye Yirui's tone was filled with excitement, as if something interesting had happened in her boring life.
