The original owner's grandparents are no longer there.

Back then, when Father Xie became an upstart, he took his parents to live in the city. They lived in the house in Zhuanglin Community. This time they called going back to their hometown, but they were actually going back to the original owner's mother's hometown.

In my memory, the original owner's mother's health was very poor, especially after giving birth to the original owner, her physical condition plummeted. In addition, Xie's family was struggling at that time, and she died after two years of hard work. She didn't last until the original owner grew up. , and did not last until Father Xie counterattacked.

Xie Ning had seen the photo of the original owner's mother, and he had to say that she was a real beauty.

Although I was a little sorry for Xie Lao, but his first reaction was that the two were not a good match. The last woman who surprised him was Gu Xipiao, and the original owner's mother was not inferior to Gu Xipiao.

On the car back to his hometown, Father Xie dug out the photos, thinking about people when he saw things, and recalled to him the past of the original owner's mother along the way. A faint affection was born.

Since he looks the same as the original owner, his real mother might also be so beautiful.

The journey was long and the mountain road was very bumpy. Xie Ning was dizzy and nauseated after reading his textbook for a while on the road, so he put on earphones to practice his English listening.

The New Year atmosphere in the countryside is far stronger than that in the city. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the small village decorated with lights.

Father Xie came back with a high profile, every year. It is said that it was to give face to the mother-in-law and father-in-law. The original owner's mother passed away for so many years, and Father Xie has always taken care of her parents as his biological parents. If the old couple did not want to go to the city, I am afraid The house nannies are all ready.

I have never experienced such a gathering of relatives from all walks of life. Since getting off the car, Xie Ning has been as stiff as a dummy. No matter who comes to greet him, he will only smile. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Xie Ning thought it was him Feeling unwell, he hurriedly asked him to go back to the house to rest.

Only then did Xie Ning heave a sigh of relief. As a result, on New Year's Eve, the flow of people at his grandparents' house doubled again. The main reason was that Father Xie was generous. Anyone who had relatives brought their children to pay New Year's greetings. Father Xie helped It's just a big red envelope, don't want it for nothing.

Because of this, Xie Ning in the corner became the focus. Under the intentional arrangement of the adults, peers were ordered to come to him for advice on how to study, or simply let them chat and exchange feelings.

During Chinese New Year, Xie Ning gave himself a day off to try to cope with the current situation.

The first one approached was a girl, not as glamorous as those girls in City A, but her round eyes were very clear and cute. Xie Ning just looked at her, and she blushed. She was accompanied by a little girl who was only five or six years old. , approached him innocently and asked.

"Brother, are you a big star?"

"..."

Xie Ning raised his forehead, thinking that he should go back to his room and do math, physics and chemistry.

There is no distinction between heterosexuals and homosexuals in this world, so in his first year of adulthood, half a year before the college entrance examination, many relatives in his hometown have spontaneously planned life events for him.

But that's not the point, because there's no need for him to speak. Father Xie just smacked his mouth, his nostrils soaring into the sky, but he said in a mysterious tone: "Don't worry! Friends, tell me..."

Xie Ning had a severe headache, so he quickly stopped his father Xie from showing off.

Father Xie hadn't had a drink yet, and now he realized that the Duan family is different from other families. Besides, they couldn't understand showing off to these relatives, so they simply kept silent.

On the contrary, Xie Ning was questioned for a long time by some of his peers, and he could see that the original owner had a good relationship with some people, but it also made him feel more tired from dealing with it.

On New Year's Eve, he was extraordinarily busy, far more hectic than his senior year in high school, and he had a chance to breathe at night, but it was not without benefits. At least compared with City A, the air here was not a little better.

On winter nights, the sky is full of stars, and the sound of fireworks blooming can be heard endlessly. Xie Ning sits in the yard to get some fresh air. This kind of scenery that can't be seen in the city really wants to share with others.

He took a photo and sent it to Duan Ling.

The chat records of the two are still in the report when he left yesterday. Duan Ling was very irritable when he learned that he was leaving City A and that his family tradition was going back to his hometown for the New Year. After the message, he only replied with a full stop, which was just for Xie Ning to laugh at.

Today is New Year's Eve, the Duan family doesn't know what's going on, but it shouldn't be too lively.

About half a minute later, Duan Ling called, and it was still a video call.

Before connecting, Xie Ning turned the camera to the rear and pointed it at the sky.

"Well, isn't it beautiful?"

"Turn back." Duan Ling in the camera urged inexplicably: "Hurry up!"

Xie Ning pursed his lips, turned the camera back, and remembered the same situation at home last time.

Duan Ling seemed to like his face quite a bit.

On the other side of the camera, it seems to be the balcony of Duan Ling's room, which is really deserted and has no Chinese New Year flavor.

"Are you home alone?" Xie Ning asked curiously.

Duan Ling's father probably lives in over [-], but since Gu Xipiao came to pick the door lock that night, he should be at home during the Chinese New Year, but Duan Ling snorted, acquiescing to his statement alone.

Xie Ning was silent for a while.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"up to you."

Duan Ling's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to care.

Xie Ning rolled his eyes and let out an 'oh' at the end.

"Then I'll be two days later, the air here is quite good."

Halfway through the speech, the person on the screen raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of real anger, as if he was about to rush over to deal with him in the next second.

It felt like it was almost done, before he completely irritated him, Xie Ning immediately changed his words: "No, but I think I'd better go back sooner, I miss you!"

The burning anger stagnated halfway, and then extinguished with a puff, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.

Seeing Duan Ling's face turn from cloudy to sunny, Xie Ning raised the corners of his eyes and started talking about what happened today.

Duan Ling listened to him on the other end, and didn't interrupt until the end.

"unhappy?"

Xie Ning was startled, and struggled, "No, it's just that I'm not used to it."

"Since I go back every year, why don't I adapt this year?"

"..."

As expected of the protagonist, the question got to the point in one sentence.

As for why, of course it was because he and the original owner were not alone in the past.

You can confess anything, but I'm afraid you'll have to hide this secret for a lifetime. Xie Ning put his face into the scarf pretending to be cold, hiding his reaction when he lied, and then answered vaguely: "...Maybe it's because we fell in love this year."

Duan Ling didn't respond for a long time, she didn't know where to get a bottle of water, she unscrewed it and took a sip.

The dry lips were covered with a layer of water, and he stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick it, not as a warning before a fight, but as a cover up when touched.

"Tsk... don't pester people."

Eyes bent into a pair of crescents, Xie Ning stared at his reaction without blinking, recalling the past few months ago.

When he just crossed over, Duan Ling said that he was pestering. He admitted that he did follow the trend at that time, mainly because he wanted to be disgusted and break up. Who knew breaking up would be so difficult.

After getting along for a few months, Xie Ning began to suspect that Duan Ling might be following this, that's why he couldn't break up at the beginning.

While chatting casually, it was already approaching twelve o'clock without realizing it. Father Xie's call came from inside the house, and Xie Ning hurriedly answered.

"I want to go back."

A familiar boredom appeared on Duan Ling's face, and she couldn't help but swear.

Xie Ning smiled apologetically, and didn't hang up the phone immediately. When the time passed zero, he let go of his shame, and lightly touched the phone with his lips.

"Duan Ling, Happy New Year."

The other end of the screen seemed to be stuck and did not change. Xie Ning waited for a long time before he could congratulate him, so he puffed his cheeks depressingly.

However, just before he deliberately amplified his movements and pretended to hang up the phone, Duan Ling finally moved.

Xie Ning's heart was pounding nervously because of his movement close to the phone, and he thought he was going to do something, but when the screen went black, Duan Ling turned off the camera directly!

The phone only had the voice call function left, Xie Ning was stunned for a while, and pressed his ears angrily: "Why don't you..."

"Xie Ning."

The deep voice drilled into the ears, and because there was no visual impact, every word, sentence, and even breathing became clear and profound.

Duan Ling didn't have a New Year's message, but just said to him: "Happy first Valentine's Day."

The day after New Year's Eve is Valentine's Day, so there is nothing wrong with Duan Ling saying that.

But I don't know why, but the impact it brings to him is much greater than that of Happy New Year, especially the 'first' in the prefix, which extends the meaning as if there are many more of them.

First Valentine's Day...

After hanging up the phone, Xie Ning waited for a long time for nothing before entering the room.

……

Except for the phone call on New Year's Eve, he kept in touch with Duan Ling intermittently in the next two days, but compared to his comfort in his hometown, Duan Ling suddenly became busy, and he didn't even get through the phone a few times.

On the day they came back to City A, they only chatted about the itinerary through messages in the morning, and Duan Ling never heard from her again.

Unable to contact Duan Ling, Xie Ning could only try to call He Manjuan. He Manjuan knew everything about Duan's family and immediately answered his questions.

"Uncle has returned to China. It's Chinese New Year. The Duan family's threshold is about to be broken!"

"That's it? Nothing else?"

Xie Ning was a little skeptical, if someone just came to visit, Duan Ling's character would not even raise her eyes if she wanted to ignore him.

He Manjuan began to hesitate: "There is still the matter of going abroad. I heard from my father that my uncle asked Brother Ling to go abroad, but Brother Ling was not happy. It seemed that there was a quarrel. He even used Brother Ling as a negative example, saying that I don't want to go abroad. Learn well! I'm so mad!"

Xie Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he probably guessed that this was the case.

Speaking of it, they briefly mentioned it in the dormitory last time, but in the end he was confused because of Duan Ling's confession, and in the end he didn't actually try to keep him.

He wondered with some doubts, Duan Ling wouldn't agree to go abroad just because he forgot to mention it?
