Seeing Shi Yin smiled, A Luan was more determined to behave normally.

She holds scissors in her left hand and the red paper in the other hand. I don't know how to move it. Anyway, she is extremely dexterous. Just by turning her wrist back and forth several times, the red paper in her hand becomes a pattern, which is lifelike.

Aluan cut two plum blossoms that depended on each other.

Shi Yin saw that it was the two branches that Aluan broke off and gave him earlier.

A Luan held the window grille and handed it to Shi Yin, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Shi Yin took it, looked down at the two plums in his hand, and said, "It's pretty."

In the white porcelain vase on the desk over there, two dead plum branches cuddled silently, not more vivid than the ones on the paper.

A Luan didn't seem to think about anything else, but was very happy: "Then I'll cut something else for you."

While talking, Aluan moved the scissors again, this time the cuts were all elegant old styles, but Aluan was dexterous, no matter what kind of cut, as long as the paper was taken off, it would be vivid.

Shi Yin was watching from the side and didn't speak. He just used a paperweight to press A Luan's cut pieces together so as not to mess them up.

In the end, I didn't know how much I cut. It was not until a large pile was pressed under the paperweight that Aluan finally put down the scissors as if having fun.

As soon as she put it down, Aluan handed her left hand in front of Shi Yin, and said aggrievedly: "Shi Yin, my hand hurts so much."

Shi Yin looked over, and sure enough, the back of Aluan's left thumb and the rest of the fingers, and the place where the inside of the scissors buttocks were rubbed, showed a red mark.

Frowning unobtrusively, Shi Yin said, "I'll get the medicated oil and rub it on for you."

Immediately, Aluan felt no grievance, and said with curled eyes, "Mm, good."

Shi Yin got up to get the medicinal oil and came back. A Luan had already sat facing him, and Shi Yin sat down opposite him.

He opened the small Moqing porcelain bottle containing the medicinal oil and put it aside, Shi Yin rolled up Aluan's cuff a little, then picked up the small Moqing porcelain bottle and poured some medicinal oil into the palm of his right hand.

Shi Yin put the porcelain bottle back, and then held A Luan's extended wrist very lightly, with almost no effort.

A Luan's wrist is too thin, too slender, as if it could be broken easily.

Shi Yin carefully rubbed the medicated oil on Aluan's palm, applied it on every red spot, and then gently massaged it with his fingertips.

A Luan narrowed her eyes, as if being rubbed was very comfortable.

A beam of sunlight came in from the window, and it happened to shine on their hands.

After a long time, the red on the back of A Luan's fingers faded away, Shi Yin immediately withdrew his hand, handed another handkerchief to A Luan, and said, "Wipe it off."

A Luan took it and wiped her hands carefully.

Shi Yin watched his movements, a little dazed.

A Luan's hands are naturally beautiful.The fingers are long and slender, the nails are neatly trimmed with powder, the joints are not so obvious, the skin is fair and tender, and it seems to be glowing.

After Shi Yin realized what he was looking at, he immediately looked away, not letting himself look again.

A Luan probably didn't notice it, and slowly wiped every finger clean before finishing.

After wiping, A Luan folded the handkerchief squarely, put it on the table, withdrew her hand, put down her sleeves, and said to Shi Yin with a smile: "Sure enough, it's much better, thank you very much."

"Shi Yin, you are so powerful, it seems that you can do everything."

Shi Yin pursed his lower lip, but did not answer A Luan's words.

A Luan said on her own: "By the way, Shi Yin, on New Year's Eve, I will come to watch the New Year with you again!"

Shi Yin's heart moved slightly, but he didn't nod. He just glanced casually at Fangzheng's handkerchief stacked on the table, and asked, "In your house... can you walk away?"

"I, I really can't go away...then what should I do..." A Luan squeezed her fingers in distress, thinking and thinking, and when she saw the window grilles he had cut on the table, she clapped her hands and came up with an idea , Said: "Why don't I cut another me for you!"

"In this way, I can watch the New Year with you."

Having an idea, A Luan took the scissors again and cut himself out on the paper.

Shi Yin looked at the little paper figurine that Aluan had cut out, and finally couldn't hold back, frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly, "You...why do you do this?"

According to A Luan's status, it shouldn't seem like she knows this at all.

A Luan was still holding the scissors, when he heard Shi Yin's question suddenly, the smile on his face paused for a moment, but soon he laughed again.

It was the first time that Shi Yin didn't want to see A Luan's smile.

A Luan also lowered her head, hid her expression, touched her back, and lowered her voice a little: "My aunt is very skillful... She taught me a lot when she was alive, and then... I have never heard of it again. I used to do it, and now I have forgotten most of it..."

"Fortunately, remember these."

Shi Yin was speechless: "You..."

A Luan raised his head, and with his usual smile again, he said, "Shi Yin, don't look at me like that."

"Aniang, she can accompany me for a few years, I am already very happy."

Shi Yin didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and took the scissors from A Luan's hand.

A Luan didn't move, and Shi Yin took it down.

The two sat silently facing each other for a while, then Aluan stood up, took a step forward, took Shi Yin's hand, put the paper figurine he cut into Shi Yin's hand, and said with a smile: "I Let's go, on New Year's Eve... I will accompany you to watch the New Year's Eve."

Shi Yin only looked down at the piece of paper figurine that Aluan put in his hand.

Aluan left.

Shi Yin thought, when Ah Luan is not here, life always passes quickly.

Just like New Year's Eve.

The Abode is still as clean as ever.

Shi Yin also washed up very early, but he didn't take a break. He sat alone in front of the desk, flipping through a book page by page, not reading the book, but looking at the paper-cut window grilles sandwiched in it.

Last time, he put the window grilles that Aluan cut for him one by one into a scripture book he copied by hand.

Each one was flattened and placed, Shi Yin was careful not to damage these paper-cuts.

Now Shi Yin only takes out what Aluan cut himself.

Putting it by his hand, Shi Yin gently caressed the eyebrows and eyes of the person on the paper, as if they were warm.

Shi Yin's eyes were soft, thinking of A Luan's face that day, that face with a smile on his mouth but crying in his eyes, that face made him feel uncomfortable.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that a person like A Luan shouldn't have such an expression.

The Aluan he knew should be a bright young man who keeps smiling.

His thoughts drifted away, until he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, Shi Yin came back to his senses, and it was the middle of the day.

A year is coming to an end, and a year is about to begin.

Shi Yin put the paper-cut A Luan back into the book, closed the book, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, Shi Yin stopped sitting, got up and went to sleep.

The next morning, the first day of the new year, Shi Yin was still living as usual.

Near noon, Gui Yun and Gui Yu suddenly ran over and reported breathlessly, "Senior Brother Shi Yin... There are people visiting outside."

Shi Yin paused, but did not respond: "What?"

Gui Yu complied and said it again: "Brother Shi Yin, someone is visiting."

Shi Yin looked outside the door, the visitors had already entered without invitation.

"Master, are you still used to living in Beijing?"

Shi Yin frowned unobtrusively, with a slightly cold expression, he stood up and said, "It's you..."
