across mountains and seas

On the quiet night of New Year's Eve, when the snow is falling, you can occasionally hear the sound of two or three firecrackers exploding in the alleys.

The ribs of the umbrella are stretched, and an elegant ink landscape umbrella surface blooms, covering the falling snow in the sky.

Jing Lan held an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other, quietly waiting for Liuxi to attend the appointment at the back door of the government office

The pale yellow lamp shadow fell on her fair face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the pear dimples on her face were gently twirling. She had grown up, her eyebrows were delicate, and her smile was warmer than before.

"Squeak."

The back door was gently pushed open by someone, and the girl who was going to make an appointment came out of the door with a smile, and said with a smile: "It seems that I don't need to carry an umbrella." After speaking, she put the paper umbrella in her hand behind the door , closed the back door and walked over.

Jing Lan stepped forward and brought the paper umbrella closer to cover the falling snow in the sky.

"Only cover the snow tonight, in the future..." Jing Lan smiled, and took the first step together with Liu Xi, "I will protect you from the wind and rain."

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, or if Jing Lan's words are too intoxicating.

Liu Xi smiled hoarsely, "Tsk tsk, did you learn this from a book?"

Jing Lan said seriously: "There are no such serious words in the book."

Liu Xi couldn't help but joked: "You also know that what you read is not a serious book."

Jing Lan muttered softly, "Even if it's not serious...it's still useful..."

"Huh?" Liu Xi pretended to be displeased, "How dare you mention it? You don't sleep at night, just read those books, you..."

"Heh, I won't watch it in the future." Jing Lan was serious this time, otherwise she would have to change laundry pants in the morning, too many times, and it would not be a good thing.

"The dignified governor of East Fuzhou, you must keep your word."

"Dignified General Pingdong, you must keep your word."

"Ok?"

"I'll take you home."

Jing Lan smiled lightly, raised the light in front of her, and led Liu Xi to the Pingdong General's Mansion.

Hundreds of houses are brightly lit, and most people are watching the new year in their rooms.

The people who were tired of visiting the Lantern Festival walked home in twos and threes, saw Jing Lan and Liu Xi on the road, and bowed to them respectfully.

This young boy from the East China Sea is deeply loved by the common people.

Seeing Jing Lan having such a day, Liu Xi was filled with relief, but in the relief, there was a hint of sourness quietly mixed in.

In this way, more people will take aim at her silly girl.

From tomorrow onwards, she will only be the lieutenant under the governor's seat, and without the status of sister-in-law, she will no longer be able to deal with the little fox who covets Jing Lan openly as before.

Liu Xi looked down at the overlapping shadows of the two, and said in her heart, "I can grow old like this." It's funny to say that in her previous life, she regarded the lover as a fool and hardened her heart all her life. In this life, she has also become a Such a fool.

There are so many people in the world, but she has been planted by a stinky girl in her life.

Thinking of the interesting things in the past, Liu Xi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jing Lan looked at her smiling face quietly, she quietly turned her umbrella to the side of Liuxi, and turned to look at the road ahead - deep in the lights, that was the first home she gave her.

Hot heart, pounding beating.

The enemy who wanted her life in the previous life turned around and turned into the sweetheart who also wanted her "life" in this life.

The world is impermanent.

Jing Lan's smile grew stronger, and she began to make some small calculations in her heart.

She secretly thought: "You took my life in the last life, so I will pay you back in this life." Thinking of this, her smile became more smirk of success.

"Ok?"

"Turn right ahead."

Jing Lan hastily prevaricated, and her pace quickened.

Liu Xi faintly felt that what this girl was thinking just now was definitely not a good thing, she rarely smiled like a little fox, and she was afraid that something bad was brewing in her stomach.

Liu Xi clearly remembered that she had never taught her these things.

"arrive!"

Jing Lan held an umbrella and stood with her in front of the gate of General Pingdong's mansion. The plaque of the mansion has not been hung yet, and the foreman in charge of the construction is on duty tonight.

When he saw the governor coming, he greeted him with a lantern.

"It's time to work, go back and rest."

Jing Lan smiled and signaled that he could go home, the foreman nodded and stepped back.

Jing Lan walked to the door and pushed it open.

With the shadow of the lights under the eaves, the cliffs and the blue sea are carved on the screen wall, which is very beautiful with a vast atmosphere.

I put my heart into it at the entrance, so the inside must be pretty much the same.

Liu Xi smiled and said, "That's what you said, the furnishings are simple?"

"It's not the best, but it's simple." Jing Lan replied proudly. After she finished speaking, she put away the paper umbrella, shook the falling snow on it, put the paper umbrella on the side of the door, and fastened the door.

Seeing her action of locking the door, Liu Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "Does the governor want the lonely men and widows to live together tonight?"

"Why not?" Jing Lan asked with a chuckle.

Liu Xi was quite surprised and said: "Tsk tsk, I have learned to thicken my skin."

"Heh." Jing Lan smiled hoarsely, "Don't worry, Xi'er, I will definitely abide by the rules tonight."

"Anyway, you can't beat me, I'm afraid you can't?" Liu Xi said with a smile, took out the lantern from Jing Lan's hand, walked around the screen wall first, and walked into the vestibule.

There are two rows of plum blossoms planted in the courtyard. The flowers are blooming now, and the fragrance in the courtyard is overwhelming. Wherever the eye catches the eye, the curvy plum branches and the scattered eaves form an interesting contrast. How can there be a wonderful word to describe it?

Jing Lan deliberately slowed down her pace, looked at Liu Xi holding up the lantern with a smile, walked around the courtyard, then walked around the front hall and went to the back yard.

Snowflakes are falling, scattered all over the ground.

Liu Xi stepped on a series of footprints on the stone path. The more she looked at the mansion, the more elegant it became. It didn't look like a general's mansion, and it was clearly the home of a boudoir girl.

Liu Xi suddenly turned her head, raised her head slightly and asked, "Alan, the more I look at this place, the more it looks like a golden house."

"How can I hide you?" Jing Lan leisurely walked over in Liu Xi's footsteps, "It seems that Xi'er doesn't like this place very much."

Liu Xi asked with a smile: "If I don't like it, what will you do?"

"Tear it down and rebuild it until Xi'er likes it." Jing Lan said seriously.

Liu Xi frowned, "It's a waste of money."

"I'll listen to Xi'er's lesson." As she said that, Jing Lan moved her head closer, "I'll be punished too, and Yun Xi'er will play me."

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, "It's not right."

Jing Lan took her hand, "Anyway, I can't beat you, are you still afraid that I won't?" After finishing speaking, she smiled mysteriously at her, "Go and see the small courtyard where you live."

The two walked through the corridor and into the courtyard.

Jing Lan blew out the lantern outside the small building, put the lantern down, took out the torch and blew it on, walked into the small building, and lit the candles on the first floor of the small building.

The warm yellow light illuminated the small bamboo basket on the table. In the small bamboo basket, a fluffy white rabbit wrinkled its nose and poked out half of its head.

"Yueyue!"

Liuxi shouted in surprise, approached the bamboo basket, and picked up Yueyue, only to find that Yueyue was wearing a bright red Liusu tassel.

Liu Xi pulled the tassel closer and took a closer look. Although the tassel was bright red, there was a bunch of black silk woven inside it, and she rubbed it lightly with her fingertips. It was human hair.

Suddenly, Liu Xi couldn't help laughing, and turned to look at Jing Lan who was standing three steps away, "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

Jing Lan nodded, and said seriously: "If you hug Yueyue, it means you accept it. Don't give it back to me, I won't accept it!"

"Stinky girl! How can anyone give gifts like you?" Liu Xi rolled her eyes, then looked down at the tassel of the knife in her palm.

"It seems that Xi'er doesn't like it very much." Jing Lan pretended to be in deep thought, walked to the bed, and took out another small bamboo basket from the bottom of the bed, in which was a black rabbit of about the same size.

Liu Xi stared in surprise as she approached with the black rabbit, "Yueyue is lonely and pitiful, so it's not bad to find a companion for it." As she said, she hugged the black rabbit and approached Yueyue in Liuxi's arms. Yue, "Xiaohei, do you like Yueyue?"

How could Liu Xi not hold back her laughter?

"Can't you give it a nice name?"

"Then Xi'er gave it a nice name?"

Liu Xi thought carefully, "Call it..." Surprised that Jing Lan was quietly approaching her ear, Liu Xi turned her head and said shyly, "How dare the little thief sneak up?"

Jing Lan's ears burned, "I'm just suddenly hungry for alcohol."

"Nonsense, and I don't have any alcohol on me." Liu Xi suppressed her smile and pierced her trick.

Jing Lan said in a low voice, "Yes."

"The governor said, you must abide by the rules tonight." Although Liu Xi was reminding, she also felt that Jing Lan was surprisingly beautiful tonight. Her eyes met, and she felt inexplicably intoxicated. She even moved her nose slightly and smelled it. The smell of alcohol left on them.

She bit her lower lip and put Yueyue down calmly.

Stretching out her fingers to press Jing Lan's lips, preventing her from approaching quietly, Liu Xi saw through the girl's bad intentions, "Captain, don't be presumptuous."

Now that Jing Lan is still holding the black rabbit in her arms, even if she makes a move, she will lose her chance.

Jing Lan took a step back helplessly, put the black rabbit into Yueyue's nest, and sighed meaningfully.

"You just... think so?"

"I don't want to think about it now!"

Jing Lan pretended to be angry and turned her back.

"Small, thief."

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi hugged her from behind, breathing on Jing Lan's red ears, her voice was like sea sand at sunset, hoarse and warm, "I really don't want to?"

"In no mood."

Jing Lan imitated what she said, and the two laughed at the same time.

If Shen Jiangli were here, he must wonder why the two of them wanted to imitate her speech.

"Alan."

"Ah."

Liu Xi kissed Jing Lan on the cheek, "Even if I'm not your sister-in-law anymore, you still have to listen to me."

"I listen to some, and I don't listen to some." Jing Lan turned around and held Liu Xi's shoulders, "For example, when you are trying to be brave, don't expect me to listen to you, let you do whatever you want."

"Tsk tsk, you still dare to teach me a lesson?" Liu Xi raised her eyebrows, "If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles!" As soon as the words fell, he slapped Jing Lan's chest.

Jing Lan avoided sharply, "Xi'er, are you really hitting?"

"It's you, the little thief who wants to make progress!" Liu Xi waved at Jing Lan again with a sharp palm.

Jing Lan grabbed Liu Xi's wrist and said with a smile, "Really?"

"Could it be a fake?" Liu Xi felt his breath tremble, and Jing Lan felt a pain in his mouth, so he let go quickly.

I only heard Liu Xi continue to say: "The kung fu is still the same."

"You underestimate me!" Jing Lan was serious this time, she concentrated on the challenge and slapped Liu Xi.

The strength of the palm was suddenly released by Liu Xi's inner strength, Jing Lan wanted to retreat, but Liu Xi seized her fingers and grabbed her by the collar.

"I taught you last time, the more beautiful a girl is, the more vigilant she must be at all times, look, she has fallen, right?" While speaking, Liu Xi gathered her five fingers, and suddenly tightened Jing Lan's neckline.

Jing Lan lowered her arms dejectedly, "One day, I will be able to defeat you!"

Liu Xi let go of her collar, and said with a triumphant smile: "Practice hard, read less books, maybe one day, you can beat me." Suddenly feeling angry, Liu Xi looked at her angrily, "At this time, I still want to Those crooked... um!"

Jing Lan seized the opportunity and quickly kissed Liu Xi on the lips, "Don't let your guard down at any time. Xi'er, you taught me this!"

"You..." Liu Xi didn't know how to refute, but felt ashamed and annoyed.

Jing Lan approached her face, and said softly, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Liu Xi suppressed a smile and looked at Jing Lan's pretty face, indeed, she had to remind herself of that sentence - the more beautiful the girl, the more vigilant she should be.

Otherwise, I don't know who fell into whose hands?

"do not move……"

As soon as Liu Xi thought about it, she felt itchy, and couldn't help but hook Jing Lan's neck, and kissed her tenderly.

The night was as quiet as water, and the two rabbits crossed their necks together and fell asleep soundly.

Outside the small building, the snow is falling.

Jing Lan hugged Liu Xi from behind and leaned against the small window, listening to the sound of snow falling outside, Xu Xu whispered.

Liu Xi curled up and pressed tightly against Jing Lan's heart.

Jing Lan's temperature soaked into her vest, warming her whole heart. Liu Xi smiled dumbly, and looked back at her, "I didn't know that you thought so far."

Jing Lan stared at her pulse, "You will be tired and hurt if you support it alone." As she spoke, Jing Lan held her hand, "I can do it too, trust me, okay?"

Liu Xi clasped her hand tightly and said with a relieved smile, "Okay."

She waited, waiting for the promises that Jing Lan made to her tonight to be fulfilled one by one.

The author has something to say: Liu Xi: Xiao Hei is really not nice!

Jing Xiaowu: Judges, please give me a name?

This is a sweet New Year's Eve for Liu Xi and Xiao Wu.
