Xiao Yu, who is in high school, is immersed in the mountain of reports every day, and part of the time is spared to practice the piano. When preparing for the big exam, she will change the ballet class to every two weeks.

She is working hard to plan and fully plan for her future.Recently, her attention has been on these heavy schoolwork.

When she paused to rest and came back to her senses, time had slipped into the new year, the beginning of January.

The climate in Q City this year is very cold in winter, but it hasn't snowed for a long time.The heating was turned on in the room, Xiao Yu looked down from the window in the study, Sister Cai and other servants were moving the potted plants to the light-transmitting room.

Because the temperature has reached its peak in recent days, some plants in the house are not suitable for such a cold season, so Sister Cai had to do a small move for them.

Xiao Yu was wearing white long socks. She stood in front of the window and stared at it for a few seconds, then took out a down jacket from the wardrobe, put it on, and went downstairs.

"Sister Cai, I'll help you!" She trotted over, and the moisture on the grass stained her shoes.

"Oh, Miss, why did you come down?" Sister Cai heard Xiao Yu's voice behind her as she moved a small flower pot.

"There are many people and strength is great, so I can help." Xiao Yu said as she knelt down to pick up the flower pot on the ground.

"Miss, you're only wearing pajamas underneath, it's too thin, and you'll catch a cold if you stay outside for too long." Sister Cai wanted to take off her scarf and wrap it around Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu turned back after moving a flower pot, "No need, I'm not a cute girl! Sister Cai keeps it for herself." She refused.

The other servants didn't want the lady to do rough work, so they tried to dissuade her, "Miss, these flower pots are too heavy, you can go and get some lighter things."

Xiao Yu had no choice but to pack up some used tools that hadn't been sorted out, including the straw hat that was forgotten in the corner, the flower pot, and a pair of scissors.

The straw hat accidentally got some dust on it, Xiao Yu gently patted off the mud on it, put it back into the sundry storage.

She put the utensils back in their respective places, and these things gave her a different feeling when she held them in her hands.Some feelings of nostalgia.

Because these things are all "relationships" with Qiu Zixin.

Xiao Yu locked the glove compartment, she looked up at the sky, it was now covered in night, a bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and there were gray clouds and mists around it, but it didn't affect its brightness.

The surrounding air was damp, Xiao Yu sneezed a little, she hugged her arms a little bit coldly.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

The girl is tied with a high ponytail, and the tip of her small nose is rosy. She looks at the moonlight, and the warm and tender light is reflected in her eyes.

"Qiu Zixin..." She tried to call her name affectionately in her mouth.

"..." Xiao Yu covered her face.

It still feels weird to be called by the full name!

The chandelier on the eaves swayed slightly, illuminating the girl's slightly blushing face.

With the passage of time, the days to welcome the new year are gradually approaching, and festive and rich New Year songs are played in the shopping malls.

The department store was crowded with people. Qiu Zixin and Ms. Yang came out today mainly to buy some New Year's goods. Although their family can't celebrate the festival this year because of the old lady, there are still festival ceremonies.

"Xiaoxin, do you want to buy some sour plum candy? I remember that this brand was your favorite food when you were a child..." Ms. Yang's condition has recovered a lot, and her energy seems to have returned to the past.

Qiu Zixin was holding a box of Jinsha chocolates in her hand. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Ms. Yang when she heard the sound.

She smiled, and the corners of her mouth curled up like ripples, "Well...you can take one."

Qiu Zixin's smile came from the fact that she didn't expect Ms. Yang to remember what she liked to eat when she was a child.

"The God of Wealth is here~ The God of Wealth is here~ The God of Wealth will deliver the money to your door..." singing from the radio came from the corridor next to the shelf.

Qiu Zixin turned his head curiously, and there was a man dressed as the God of Wealth who was distributing red envelopes and wedding candies. His eye-catching image immediately attracted many children to ask him for fructose.

The God of Wealth cheerfully distributed the candies and red envelopes in the basket to the children one by one. The children were all happy when they got the small gifts.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Zixin couldn't help softening the corners of his mouth.

The naughty children even tried to pull out the beard of the God of Wealth, and some asked to take pictures with him.

Qiu Zixin looked away. She took a box of Jinsha chocolates with mixed flavors and put them in the cart.

When she saw those children, she immediately thought of Xiao Yu.Although she is actually a young girl now.

"What are you doing now...?" Qiu Zixin walked slowly, his short heels tapped on the ground, and he muttered to himself.

Are you still catching up on the winter vacation report, or are you planning to buy a lot of beautiful clothes and wear them for the New Year?

She pushed the cart and turned into a counter in another area, her eyes flicked, and her fingers brushed over a row of red and willow green packaging bags, including jelly, potato chips, sparkling water...

It's all sweets.

These are not things that Qiu Zixin usually watches.

After shopping for the New Year's goods, Qiu Zixin and Ms. Yang returned home and began to arrange the furnishings and decorations at home, but not long after they arrived home, the doorbell rang.

Standing outside the house is Mr. Liang.

"I asked him to come." Ms. Yang said.

"He needs to do things to climb high places, and there are some heavy objects that we can't move, and the cleaning will be completed faster with one more person."

In fact, she was still a little worried that Qiu Zixin would reject Mr. Liang, because the mother and daughter had lived alone for so many years.Suppose, assuming that he really married Mr. Liang, Xiaoxin would have to meet a new father.

"Come in." Qiu Zixin opened the door for Mr. Liang.

"Thank you..." After Qiu Zixin hit his vitals last time, Mr. Liang's feeling towards Qiu Zixin became less natural.

After all, he is now in a relationship with Ms. Yang, which means that Qiu Zixin is his "half daughter".

Mr. Liang was just a little uncomfortable, because from the tone of Qiu Zixin questioning him at the beginning, she didn't seem very happy about this matter.

As soon as Mr. Liang entered the door, he took the initiative to do most of the rough work, such as stepping on the stairs to hang lanterns, move furniture, and other...

They've been busy all afternoon, but they're done.Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Aunt Tian returned to her hometown for the New Year a few days ago, and there was no one to cook the food, so Qiu Zixin simply wanted to order a takeaway for dinner.

Mr. Liang, who was about to leave, saw this, "Wait, do you have any ingredients at home?" He was sweating and had just changed into a new dress.

"Yes, I just bought some when I went out today." Qiu Zixin replied.

Those ingredients were originally used by her to practice her cooking skills, but today's time is a bit tight, and she didn't want to torture Ms. Yang's stomach, so she decided to order takeaway.

"Then do you want to trust me and try my skills? Soon." Mr. Liang asked with a smile.

Qiu Zixin looked at Mr. Liang for a moment, then at Ms. Yang who was sitting on the sofa, and finally agreed.

"Let me help you." Qiu Zixin said.She and Mr. Liang are working in the kitchen, and Ms. Yang is responsible for resting in the living room and waiting for the meal to be served.

Mr. Liang: "Help me crush a little minced garlic, and shred the ginger, and wash the vegetables if you can."

Qiu Zixin was wearing an apron, she rolled up her sleeves, and said in a calm tone, "Okay."

The two of them didn't talk to each other while they were working. In the silent atmosphere, the sounds of running water and spatulas were particularly crisp and clear.

Qiu Zixin is working hard, cutting the chicken in a slightly gentler way, she is concentrating on frowning...

Just as she was holding her breath and preparing to raise the knife, Mr. Liang's voice came from behind her, "Zixin, I hope you don't have too much hostility towards me."

With a "bang", the knife landed on the cutting board, Qiu Zixin frowned, a little annoyed that she still couldn't chop the chicken legs gently in the end.

Mr. Liang: "..."

"Hostile? Do I have it?" Qiu Zixin said with a flat face, she flipped the chicken leg lightly, and slashed again from behind.

Mr. Liang: "..." Cut the chicken the most ruthlessly with the most elegant expression.

"Maybe you can't accept it for a while, but it's because of the old lady. Otherwise, we planned to get the certificate the year before last. I really intend to marry her."

Qiu Zixin was turning on the faucet, the running water splashed, and the icy cold water washed her fair skin.

"Mr. Liang, why do you want to marry Ms. Yang? You are so many years younger than her, and she has such an older daughter."

She turned off the faucet, then picked up a dry cloth next to her to wipe her hands, turned around, and her eyes fell on Mr. Liang shortly, as if she was looking at him.

"Mr. Liang, what exactly are you planning?" She asked with a slight curl of her lips.

At this moment, Qiu Zixin was wearing reddish-brown thin-rimmed glasses, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and the tail of her hair was draped softly on her back.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, the corners of her lips curled up and the light in her eyes reflected a hint of suspicion.

She was testing him with a straight ball.

Mr. Liang didn't show any panic when he heard the words, but was a bit misunderstood and angry, "I never tried to draw a penny from your family."

"From Qiushi Group to the current Yang Group, along the way, Ms. Yang and I have laid down half of the country together."

"When I joined the company, I was just a college student who had just graduated. It was because Ms. Yang discovered me and made me her right-hand man that we have made great achievements for each other."

"Over the years, whenever I get to know her better, I feel more sorry for her suffering and dedication that she has been alone for so many years."

"When I'm with her, I just want to give her a marriage of love. I want to be her support for the rest of my life, no matter what outsiders think."

"So even if you don't agree with us, I still want to marry Ms. Yang and spend the rest of my life with her."

Mr. Liang said firmly that his expression was firm and sincere, and he looked straight at Qiu Zixin without flinching.

Qiu Zixin's eyes lightly rested on him, and then the corners of his mouth slightly curled into a smile.

After finishing a few dishes quickly, Mr. Liang called her, "I have to wash the pot, so you can eat with Ms. Yang first."

"En." Qiu Zixin replied.

She added three bowls of rice in total.

A few days before Chinese New Year, Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao went home.Sister Cai and Xiao Yu went out to buy the new year's goods and decorations at home, and they were all arranged in a decent way.

Xiao Yu has been looking forward to this year's Spring Festival for a long time, because Qiu Zixin is in China, and her family will come here to celebrate the New Year.

She can finally meet Qiu Zixin who she wants to see most.

For this reason, Xiao Yu had fun alone for several days, standing in front of the closet every day thinking about which clothes to wear would be more in line with Qiu Zixin's taste, she wanted to please her.

But unfortunately, Wen Yujie brought a piece of news when she returned home—they will go out for the Spring Festival this year, which will last for about a week.

The moment Xiao Yu heard it, the expression on Xiao Yu's face froze for a moment, and there were mixed feelings in her heart. She really wanted to spend a new year outside, and even asked Wen Yujie about it.

But that was before, not now.

Now she has someone she wants to wait for, and sister Qiu who she wants to see.

Xiao Yu pursed her lips. Although she didn't really want to go, she knew that Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao rarely took time to take her out for fun. This opportunity was very precious. If she refused, they would definitely be sad and troubled.

So on the 30th day of the lunar calendar, Xiao Yu's family went out for a trip, some of the servants went back to their hometown, and Sister Cai and her children temporarily stayed in Xiao's house to take care of the house for a few days.

Qiu Zixin, who learned that Xiao Yu would go out for a week during the Spring Festival, said, "..." She didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart.

She put the box of Jinsha chocolates on the table back into the refrigerator.

She walked to the living room, and Ms. Yang came down from the second floor. Seeing her expression, she asked, "What's the matter? You seem a little disappointed. Could it be that you have lost your love?"

Qiu Zixin raised her eyes, watching TV with a more relaxed look.

Lost, is she so obvious?

"It's nothing, how could I have a boyfriend." Qiu Zixin brushed back her hair and said softly.

Ms. Yang held an empty can of bird's nest in her hand, "...I would be so happy if you really fell out of love, at least it proves that you still have a partner. But since you were young, you didn't even have a ghost Show me back, it’s really frustrating..."

"The old lady passed away, didn't I have to observe mourning for three years? There is no rush for this." Qiu Zixin responded unhurriedly.

"The prohibition of marriage does not mean the prohibition of dating. You are so old, don't you have someone you want to fall in love with? Don't you have a man you like? Why?" Ms. Yang asked aggressively. The marriage is in a hurry.

Qiu Zixin blinked her eyelashes lightly, her mood seemed a little depressed, and she was even more powerless because of being urged and asked by Ms. Yang, so she felt very cold when speaking.

She said nonchalantly, "Because your daughter is so outstanding, no man in the world is worthy of me."

Ms. Yang: "..."

This damn narcissistic gene was actually passed on to her!

"There's nothing I can do about you!" Ms. Yang complained with her hands on her hips, and then went into the kitchen to throw out the trash.

What Qiu Zixin said just now was of course not her real thoughts.

Why didn't she fall in love?In the past, because I was too focused on music, I spent more time facing the piano than people every day.

So what now...

Still don't want to fall in love?

You can't find someone that suits you.

"Alas..." Qiu Zixin sighed softly.

She doesn't want to think about this question yet, and she doesn't want to know the answer.

"Sure enough, when you get older, you will be urged to marry..." Qiu Zixin covered her eyes with the back of her hands, and leaned back on the sofa.

When she thought of the chocolate in the refrigerator being left uncollected, small waves appeared between her brows unconsciously, and her depressed heart became even more uncomfortable.
