Chapter 49 Mirror

Ji Chen has been accompanied by her family every Spring Festival since she was 12 years old. Although there are not many people in the family, there is a warm reunion atmosphere anyway.Liang Caiwei's father, Liang Xi, is a gentle person, as amiable as she is. From the year he brought Ji Chen home, he has always treated this child as his own flesh and blood, and has never been partial to him.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, the family had been busy for a long time before they could arrange a whole table of dishes.At the dinner table, Ji Chen tried to grab Liang's father's drink several times, but was stared back without exception.In the end, Liang Xi really couldn't hold him back, so he mixed half a glass of the drink for him, and said with a straight face: "What kind of wine do children drink at home, if they don't learn well."

I don't even know what words to use to describe this strange temperament. If I had to think of one, it would probably be stubborn and somewhat rebellious.A tongue that can’t eat spicy food must eat spicy food, and a stomach with a poor capacity for alcohol must drink alcohol. It seems that these impossible things can be exercised as long as they are practiced.

If Ji Chen hadn't stolen beer when he was 15 years old, and ended up getting so drunk that he became unconscious and scared the father and daughter of the Liang family, Liang Xi really didn't intend to impose a prohibition on him, but if you don't If he stopped him, he would be able to bite the bullet and toss himself. In the end, there was nothing he could do. Before the Chinese New Year, the Liang family couldn't even find a drop of liquid that looked like wine.

Ji Chen, who got a bargain, was honest, put on a cute smile, and lifted up the cup that was mixed with ingredients.The three glasses collided, and the family of three passed another year safely.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two juniors took the initiative to undertake the work of tidying up, and let the chef in charge go to the living room to watch TV and rest.Ji Chen put on big rubber gloves, frothed the dish soap with hot water, and scrubbed the pots and pans carefully.Liang Caiwei, with her long curly hair tied up, walked into the kitchen wearing an apron, glanced at Liang Xi, who was drinking tea with her legs crossed, and quietly moved to Ji Chen's side, smiling deeply, and said, "Chenchen..."

"...Ah?" As soon as the tone came out, cold sweat almost broke out on the back of Ji Chen's head in the heating room. He quickly stopped what he was doing, and turned his head to look at his smiling sister, "What's wrong?"

Liang Caiwei's eyes are beautiful, bright and deep, and she smiles like a crescent moon.But now, this crescent moon is shining brightly, making Ji Chen feel guilty.The elder sister who was leaning on the glass door raised her eyebrows at him, slowly raised her hand, and pointed to the place two or three inches below her earlobe: "This is... was bitten by a big mosquito?"

Hearing this, Ji Chen's ears turned red, he quickly took out a hand and tugged at the collar of his sweater, but it was not a turtleneck sweater at all, no matter how much he pulled it, he couldn't hide the marks on his neck.This action caught Liang Caiwei's eyes, and added fuel to her smile: "Oh...is it the one Chenchen has liked since she was a child..."

"sister--!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. I'll help you wash the dishes, don't be nervous... My sister is here, we Chenchen has grown up, we have things on our minds, and we are no longer the ones who write the name of the person we have a crush on on a draft paper." my little friend—”

"Sister——!!!" Seeing that Ji Chen's entire face was flushed, but because he was afraid of being heard by the uncle in the living room, he had to lower his voice, and his anxious tone was full of pleading.

Liang Caiwei finally let him go, put on rubber gloves, stood by the sink to help clean up, and asked, "Are you going out to play soon? Just come back before twelve o'clock to watch the year."

"Who will play with me when I go out on New Year's Eve..." Ji Chen put the cleaned pot back on the stove, lowered his head and muttered.

"Your mosquito."

"..."

An hour later, Ji Chen still dragged his "mosquito" out of the house.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, tiny snowflakes fell one after another, falling on the screen of his mobile phone, and quickly melting into small water droplets.When he wiped away the water stains, familiar footsteps had already come to his side through the snow.

Without saying a word, He Yunqi pulled the scarf around his neck, and took advantage of the scarf to kiss the boy's forehead which was chilled by the north wind.

He Yunqi said: "I told my family that I was out to fall in love, so the two old people were willing to let me go out."

Ji Chen was embarrassed to say that he was forced by his sister to come out to "fall in love", so he could only nod along with his words. With an incomparably poor capacity for alcohol, he still couldn't handle the half glass of wine mixed in the drink, although Not drunk, but there were indeed two bright blushes on his face.

He Yunqi was also worried that Ji Chen was too drunk to walk, so he proposed to give him a ride, but unexpectedly Ji Chen was provoked by his words and walked along the middle crack of the blind road on the sidewalk He walked straight for nearly 500 meters, and he didn't give up until He Yun began to admit that he was really not drunk.

There were no people on the empty street. The two bought hot drinks in a year-round fast food restaurant. As soon as they went out, they saw a white-haired old man sitting by the side of the street.In front of the old man was a plastic sheet made from unpacked textile bags, on which were placed some out-of-fashion trinkets woven with colorful ropes.

Snowflakes fell on his body one after another, mixing with the white hair.The two held each other's hand at the same time and ran towards the stall.Ji Chen squatted down, handed the undrinked hot drink to the huddled old man, ordered some gadgets from the stall, and asked, "How much are these?"

The old man didn't expect that there would be business coming at this point, and the cup that was stuffed in Ji Chen's hand was still steaming, and he was at a loss for a while, and he opened his mouth tremblingly after a while: "It's just a small pendant, Three yuan each, all made by yourself, you...you want them all? Then I'll give you a cheaper price..."

"No, it's as much as you want." He Yunqi also squatted down on the side, seeing that the old man's hands were red from the cold, and it was probably too cold to clean up, so he took the initiative to take the small commodities on the stall for him. Calculate the price.There were cracks on the old man's hands, and he kept nodding his head while holding a hot drink to express his thanks: "Thank you all... that's all it takes, I'm thinking about leaving after selling out..."

"Thirty, let's count it as one hundred." Ji Chen counted the number, took out the phone from his pocket, realized something, looked up at He Yunqi beside him, and coughed a little awkwardly: "Have you brought cash..."

As soon as this question came up, He Yunqi was also stunned. There are not many people who go out with cash these days. It is convenient to scan the payment software on the mobile phone to buy things... But the old man obviously doesn't know how to use a mobile phone, and he doesn't The mobile phone, I packed other people's things, but now I can't pay for it, wouldn't it make people happy?

"Chenchen, wait for me here, I'll go to the shop over there to see if I can change it..."

"Take it." A strange voice came, and a brand new red banknote appeared with the voice.The old man raised his head and looked at the third person who appeared suddenly. He was not sure whether the three were together or not, and whether he should take the money.

Seeing that the old man was not moving, the stranger also squatted in front of the stall with the two of them, stuffed the money into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Take it, old man, we are together, we bought these, you go back quickly Chinese New Year."

"Hey... okay, okay, thank you, thank you three kind-hearted people!" A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face. He shoved the money into his arms tremblingly, stood up staggeringly, and turned to the three of them. He kept bowing, and after a long thank you, he cleaned up the stall and left tremblingly.

Ji Chen got up with this bag of small things in his arms, nodded his thanks to the stranger, and said, "Would you like it? If you don't want it, I'll give you the money."

Unexpectedly, the stranger in front of him did not answer, nor did he take the plastic bag in his hand, but stood in front of him and stared at him for a long time.The person in front of him was tall and tall, about 35 or [-] years old, his slender figure was tightly wrapped in a black windbreaker, but his eyes were bright and burning, and his gaze was firmly locked on Ji Chen's. face.

"..." Ji Chen was uncomfortable being watched, he was not very good at dealing with strangers, let alone being stared at like this.His legs reacted faster than his brain, and he had already taken two steps back, distanced himself from that person.He Yunqi also sensed that something was wrong with this person, he immediately took half a step forward, pulling Ji Chen behind him, with a standard smile on his face: "This gentleman?"

"Ah." Realizing his impoliteness, the man softened his expression, but he didn't take the small bag of things, "It's just a little effort, don't worry about it. I think this kid seems to like it very much, just treat it as a gift from me." .”

"I'm not a child." Ji Chen's tone returned to the coldness he had when facing strangers, and the second half of his sentence was stuck in his heart and he didn't say it: Even if it was, not everyone can call the title "children".

From childhood to adulthood, Ji Chen has always looked like this.He didn't want to get in touch with unfamiliar classmates, so he always had few friends around him. It wasn't until he was in college, and there happened to be a group of lively and cheerful acquaintances living in the dormitory, that he finally had friends who could help bring a meal.

As soon as he came up, he hit a snag. The stranger was a little surprised, but the surprise only lingered in his eyes for a moment, and then immediately transformed into a friendly smile. He took off the brown gloves he was wearing, and stretched them out to Ji Chen. He raised his hand: "I was really embarrassed just now, because you... looked familiar, so I misunderstood it. However, we have also learned Lei Feng's friendship together, haven't we, let's get to know each other?"

"..." Ji Chen didn't want to meet strangers, let alone shake hands with him.He Yunqi, who stood in front of him, didn't say anything, and quickly took a step forward to hold the man's hand, shook it up and down very politely, and said, "Okay, let's get to know each other, what's your name?"

The stranger didn't care, he was not too young, and when he smiled, there were traces of time in the corners of his eyes and brows.He shook He Yunqi's hand, but never took his eyes off Ji Chen's face: "Yan Pei, Yan of color, Pei of cultivation."

"Okay, Mr. Yan. This is my business card." He Yunqi took out his business card neatly and skillfully, from opening his wallet to taking out a piece of paper and then handing it into his hand in one go.I thought the atmosphere would be stalemate for a while, but Yan Pei didn't say anything, he took the business card with a smile, glanced at it by the light on the side of the road, nodded at the two, said goodbye, then turned and left up.

The departure of the stranger gradually relaxed Ji Chen's tense nerves.

There are no old people who set up stalls on the street, only standing street lamps are left. The warm lights elongate the shadows of the two, and also yellow the falling snowflakes.He Yunqi took Ji Chen's hand and stuffed it into his pocket, his expression regained his pampering softness: "Okay, let's go. The snow is so heavy, your hands are cold, let's stop pressing the road, find a warm place Is there a good place to order?"

"It's just ahead, come with me." Ji Chen seemed to be prepared, even though the snowflakes on his head could make a little snowman, he still insisted on pulling He Yunqi forward.The two red marks on his cheeks, coupled with his yearning gaze, made He Yunqi feel soft-hearted, and he could only be dragged forward.

The lights in the distance were indistinct, interspersed in the cracks of the snowflakes and became more blurred. He Yunqi followed Ji Chen for a long walk, and finally saw the glistening water. Did he reach the river?The footprints of the two became the only traces on the new snow.He Yunqi jokingly said: "Chenchen, bring me to the river in winter, you want to swim in winter at the age of thirty?"

Ji Chen didn't answer, he let go of the tightly held hands, and groped behind a big rock by the river for a while, but got out after a while, he still held a large handful of lit fireworks sticks in his hand , rushed to He Yunqi in three steps at a time.With the silver light flashing, He Yunqi saw Ji Chen's smiling face clearly. The blushing person divided the fireworks in his hand in half and said, "I want to... set off fireworks with you, every year. Okay?" ?”

Suddenly there was a sound of "呵呵" from behind the big rock, and within two seconds, those fireworks hidden behind suddenly burst out one after another, forming a gorgeous and bright curtain wall behind Ji Chen.In this deserted riverside, only their New Year's Eve, Ji Chen used his hidden thoughts to arrange a beautiful enough fireworks for him.

The snow is falling more and more.

This plot is so corny.He Yunqi thought to himself, the child might have seen a similar plot on an official account, or in a novel, so he copied it as it was, and after a while, he probably had to say confidently, "Isn't the girl Do you all like romance?" or something like that.

But the sincerity in Ji Chen's eyes was enough to melt the heart in He Yunqi's chest along with the snowflakes falling on his body.

He Yunqi's eyes couldn't tolerate this gorgeous light and shadow, because there was already the only light in that corner, it was the light blue light that erupted from the lonely alley that he saw for the first time, it was Ji Chen's Light.

He Yunqi didn't answer the question just now. Before he said "OK" with a smile, Ji Chen, who was about to turn into a little snowman with snowflakes in front of him, had already thrown aside the cold water fireworks in his hand, cautiously but relentlessly. Hesitantly, she leaned over and tiptoed to kiss his lips.

This is the bravest feat that Ji Chen has done with all his courage.
