As soon as Chen Xiaonian got home, she fell on her bed and stared at the ceiling. For half a month, she and brother Lin Qi didn't even exchange a word. She called him and sent him a video, but no one answered.
He would not call himself even more. During this period, he only replied "Don't read".
"Xiao Nian, your godmother called and asked us to come over and have dinner together tonight."
When Chen Ma opened the door, she saw her daughter looking like she was distracted. She walked up quietly and saw that this guy was crying.
"What? You were robbed of the candied haws and are crying like this?"
She knows her daughter, Mo Ruomu, and Chen Ma deliberately slapped her to distract her daughter's attention.
"Mother!"
Chen Xiaonian turned over and lay on her stomach. She was really speechless about her mother's childish behavior.
"Okay, okay, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. As for this? Maybe you can see Xiao Qi tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or maybe today. No one can say for sure, right?"
Seeing how pitiful her daughter was, Mother Chen had no choice but to deliberately reveal it in advance.
"He said he wouldn't come back this year, and he wouldn't let me go."
The more she talked, the more she felt aggrieved, and Chen Xiaonian's tears welled up again.
Mother Chen: “Oh, that’s what you say, what if there is a miracle?”
"real?"
Chen Xiaonian sat up and looked at her mother. Although she knew it was unlikely, she was still full of hope.
"Maybe...maybe...should!"
Mother Chen shrugged and said she was very unsure.
"Godmother, Godfather!"
As soon as Chen Xiaonian entered the door, she ran to Lin Qi's parents to say hello, and Jiang Yue pulled her into her arms and kissed them non-stop.
"I haven't seen my Nian Nian for a long time. I really miss my godmother."
While talking, he shook his head as if Chen Xiaonian was still a child.
"Godmother, I am not a child anymore."
Chen Xiaonian was shy when she saw her parents
He and the servant covered their mouths and snickered, their heads lowered. The servant was busy cleaning the courtyard of the house, and the two families were chatting and eating sunflower seeds in the house. Chen Xiaonian sat quietly and listened.
Winter nights always come very early, and it's already dark at five o'clock.
"Godfather, Godmother, I'll go out for a walk and I'll be back."
After saying hello, Chen Xiaonian was allowed to go out after being wrapped up into a little fat man by Lin Qi's mother. Looking at his two arms, Chen Xiaonian sighed silently. This was the godmother's deep love for him.
There were not many people in the empty villa area. Occasionally, cars rushing to go home would pass by. Chen Xiaonian lowered her head and didn't look at the road, so she bumped into the street light. Fortunately, she didn't fall. Otherwise, with her dress
It takes half a day to get up.
"You little fool, are you walking so carelessly?"
Chen Xiaonian felt a warm hand gently rubbing his forehead, raised his head and saw a familiar person.
"Brother Lin Qi, you are back!"
I was so excited that I wanted to hug him, but unfortunately my clothes were too thick and I couldn't even touch Lin Qi's back during the hug.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
Chen Xiaonian's face rubbed against Lin Qi's chest, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
"If I don't come back, someone's tears will flow out across the Pacific Ocean."
Letting Chen Xiaonian do whatever he wanted to him, Lin Qi just watched quietly. When she had made enough trouble, he stretched out his hand to hug Chen Xiaonian.
"Who is crying? It's not me. I won't cry."
Thinking about a man and crying, Chen Xiaonian would never admit it, such a shameful thing.
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about myself."
Lin Qi said this next to her ear, and Chen Xiaonian's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. It was obviously nothing, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re such an adult and you still cry, don’t be shy!”
Chen Xiaonian made a shy face towards Lin Qi, turned around and ran back. But she forgot that there was a street light behind her, and was pulled back by Lin Qi in time before she hit the street light again.
"You are so stupid, what will you do if I don't take care of you in the future?"
In order to prevent Chen Xiaonian from hitting the street light again, Lin Qi held her hand tightly and walked slowly. From the back, it felt like an adult holding a child.
"Mom, dad, god dad, god mom."
Lin Jinnan and Jiang Yue were surprised to see their son suddenly come back. This brat would actually deceive them. Although he would make a surprise attack in the past to surprise Chen Xiaonian, they would always tell them in advance.
"Smelly boy..."
Although Lin Jinnan cursed, her happiness for her son's return was clearly reflected on her face. However, Chen Xiaonian's mother, who was Lin Qi's godmother, did not react much. Chen Xiaonian looked at his mother deliberately and thought of today again.
What she said. Chen Xiaonian was sure that his mother knew the news about Brother Lin Qi's return today, but why did Brother Lin Qi only tell his mother? Chen Xiaonian couldn't figure this out.
"Xiao Qi is back. Take a rest and you'll be able to eat soon."
Lin Qi agreed and took Chen Xiaonian back to his room with one hand. He began to take off Chen Xiaonian's thick coat so that it would be more comfortable to hold her.
"Think about it, think about it."
Can't wait to hold her in his arms, Lin Qi chanted Chen Xiaonian's name over and over again. There were many nights when he could only look at her but couldn't touch her on the other side of the phone. Only those who have experienced this torture of longing can understand.
"Brother Lin Qi, I miss you very much."
The suddenly tightened arms made Chen Xiaonian breathless. She endured it silently. She knew how sad and missing he was.
In the evening, there was laughter and cheers at the dinner table. Because Chen Xiaonian was a bad drinker, Lin Qi did not allow her to drink anymore.
"Brother~~~"
No matter how much he acts coquettishly, Lin Qi will never allow it.
Different from the lively atmosphere of the Lin family, Cao Tingyu's family was quiet, without any joy of celebrating the New Year. On the night of New Year's Eve, Cao Tingyu was taken to a cemetery by a man. According to the man's instructions, she came to one of the tombstones.
.There was a person there who was murmuring his thoughts. Cao Tingyu knew it was her father without even looking.
"Axiang."
Cao Tingyu used a voice that she had trained for a long time to call out the name that only the person in Cao Ruixiang's heart could call. Sure enough, she saw him suddenly raise his head and look over.
Cao Ruixiang fell into obsession with the familiar appearance, familiar clothes and voice.
"Aling, is that you?"
Cao Tingyu endured the hatred in her heart and looked at him with a smile on her face.
"It's me, Axiang, are you okay?"
Cao Ruixiang stood up excitedly. Perhaps he had been squatting for too long and almost fell down several times. He finally stood firm and walked quickly towards Cao Tingyu.
"No, Ah Ling, I'm not living a good life. I'm not living a good life every day since you're gone..."
Hearing this, Cao Tingyu really felt cold to the core, and felt sad for her mother. She devoted all her money, energy and health to her husband, but in exchange she got what he said was a bad life.
"Axiang, do you want to accompany me?"
Just when Cao Ruixiang was still a few steps away from 'Aling', he suddenly stopped when he heard these words. He looked at 'Aling' in front of him in horror, stepped back as if he suddenly remembered something, then turned around and ran away
.
"I will still look for you, no matter where you are."
Cao Ruixiang ran faster and faster, his feet slipped and he fell down the stairs on the other side. He got up and ran regardless of the pain, until he disappeared at the entrance of the cemetery.
"No need to ask, you will know later."
The man seemed to have doubts in Cao Tingyu's heart, and he said these words as soon as she got into the car. Cao Tingyu was indeed a little confused. Although she was sure that the Aring she played was the most important person in Cao Ruixiang's heart, but what exactly happened
What scared him so much.
"Tingyu, where have you been?"
Cao Tingyu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Because it would disturb my mother's rest, I went downstairs to make a phone call."
Naturally, Nan Yanshu didn't believe that any important phone call could last for an hour or two. But she didn't ask again. Mother and daughter both have their own little secrets.
"Call your dad tomorrow. No matter what, we are still a family."
"good."
In the room, Lin Qi hugged Chen Xiaonian from behind while she was doing skin care. From time to time, he would kiss her ears or her face. God knows how much he missed this feeling.
"Nian Nian, can I go accompany you when school starts?"
Chen Xiaonian raised his head and looked at Lin Qi: "You..."
Lin Qi nodded solemnly and affirmed: "I will never leave you again."
