On the second day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast early in the morning, the north wind howled outside the window, and was isolated by the indoor heating. Except for those who wanted to go out to visit relatives, the rest of the people were lazily indoors and unwilling to move.Until He Zhou took out a deck of poker, he smiled slyly: "Let's play cards."

He Yuan shook her head like a rattle, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "Uncle will be unhappy."

"Oh, we are here to accompany my sister-in-law. It's rare for my sister-in-law to come here. It's so cold today, and I can't go out to play." After talking, He Zhou remembered and turned to ask Xu Zhen, "Let's play cards, sister-in-law? "

Xu Zhen was stared at by a group of people, and he nodded subconsciously, then shook his head, blankly: "I don't know how to play."

He is a good kid who has never experienced fighting in the poker field during the New Year, and he has never had the opportunity to get in touch with this, because no one plays with him.

"This is simple, let's play friends."

Anyway, it was just to pass the time, He Zhou explained the rules in detail.Xu Zhen listened in a daze and started to play. As expected, he lost two games, but he got the fun, his eyes lit up slowly, followed by the long eyelashes, and he looked obedient on his pink and fair face. And tender.

In the third hand, he was just about to put down triple aces and paired 5s, when He Ran's lazy voice suddenly appeared behind him: "Put the 6 first, and then play the big ace."

Xu Zhen wrinkled his nose, hesitated for a while, and changed a card as He Ran said, and after playing it, he found that all the people at the table looked behind him as if they had seen a ghost.

He also belatedly looked at He Ran behind him, raised his head, "Have you guys finished talking?"

He Ran went to talk with Father He in the study just now.

"Yeah." He Ran was only wearing a black turtleneck sweater, his unruly eyebrows drooped casually, pressing down the strand of hair that was raised on the top of his head, and one arm casually rested on the back of his chair.Very restrained, but it still looks like he is wrapping his arms around Xu Zhen's shoulders.

In the eyes of the rest of the people, this is a bit scary.

In their minds, the cousin has a cold personality, a downright world-weary bking, never participates in their games, and even frowns occasionally to frighten them to tidy up their mess.

God, my cousin actually came to watch them play cards, which made them feel uncomfortable and had the illusion of being stared at by their parents.

Xu Zhen didn't notice that something was wrong with He Zhou and the others, but every time he was about to play a card, He Ran had to give instructions, and deliberately whispered in his ear, the deep voice was mixed with heat, which made his ears numb Ma, the hand on his chair was dishonest, moved to his shoulder and clasped one of his shoulders, kneading gently, and then rubbing it on the back and neck seemingly inadvertently.

This was in front of all the relatives of the He family, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Zhen was about to be overwhelmed by shame, and mechanically followed He Ran's command to win this round. He stood up abruptly, stammering: "I ...I'm going to the bathroom."

He walked forward, and He Ran consciously followed up.

The two of them stood at the corner of the staircase where there was no one around, Xu Zhen's eyes were a little red from being teased, it colored the pure appearance, and it was stained with a bit of unknowing beauty, which was bestowed on him by He Ran.

He angrily scolded He Ran in a low voice: "Why are you doing this? How did you promise me?"

They agreed that they should be careful in He's house, not to hug each other.Xu Zhen had his own little thoughts, afraid that the He family would think that he was not serious.

He Ran blinked, inappropriately remembering what Lao He said in the study just now.

"If you look at people so closely, what's the point? You can't stick together all the time."

He has always been a despicable predator, and even if he caught people in his hands, he was just a brutal and unreasonable dragon, but he knew how to pretend to be a harmless big cat.He wrapped his arms around Xu Pillow, and hugged him fully into his arms, with a charming and sweet voice: "I miss you."

Xu Zhen was stunned, consciously thinking of reunion after a long absence, He Ran couldn't help but think that intimacy is normal.

He began to feel guilty for losing his temper to He Ran just now, bit his lower lip and thought about it, looked around to see if there was no one, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and hugged He Ran back, sending his pale pink lips up foolishly.He thought it was a comforting touch, and he was about to leave as soon as he touched it, but it turned out that He Ran was like a very hungry beast, as soon as he grabbed that lip, he refused to let go.

At the beginning Xu Zhen was still thinking about being afraid of being discovered, but later he was already dizzy, his two hands were tightly clutching He Ran's sweater, his buttocks were pinched by two big palms and he didn't know how to resist, so he leaned softly on He Ran's sweater. Ran in his arms.

"Why hasn't my sister-in-law come back for so long?" He Zhou, who was sent to find someone, passed the corner of the stairs, heard a sound of "tsk tsk" water, and then saw two people still hugging each other in the corner without warning.

He subconsciously said "I am Cao", directly revealing his whereabouts, and it was too late to slip away.Xu Zhen was frightened and pushed away. He Ran covered his mouth and hid aside. His red and bright lips seemed to dye the tip of his nose and even his eyelids red, with an astonishing beauty.

"Okay." He Ran was very calm, "Go back and play."

When the three of them returned to the poker table, the redness on Xu Zhen's face hadn't faded, and he didn't dare to face He Zhou, his eyes were evasive.This time He Ran was being honest, with his arms resting lazily on the back of Xu Zhen's chair, watching them play cards without saying a word.

Xu Zhen is a person who is easily obsessed with something. After a while, he sinks all his thoughts into it again. Although most of them still lose, he still feels happy, and his eyes are full of joy when he plays.

He Zhou, who was sitting across from them, was full of things he wanted to say to others. He looked at his cousin's smile that didn't reach his eyes, and chose to hold back the words. How many boys and girls have been hurt, and they have never had a little love.He always thought that a cold-blooded and arrogant person like his cousin would end up alone. He really didn't expect that one day the old house would catch fire and it would burn so vigorously.

Before lunch, several people quickly collected their cards, and sat down at a big round table with their elders to eat obediently.

There were laughter and laughter at the dinner table, and Xu Zhen also slowly let go of the tension at the beginning.

After dinner, He Ran leaned over and asked him in a low voice: "Going out for a stroll?"

In the black pupils are two people who know each other well, the fire that can burn Xu pillow.Xu Zhen lowered his eyes and nodded.

Only the two of them took a walk after dinner, and the afternoon sun passed through the cold air, creating a little warmth, but the cold wind was still not compromised.

As they walked, the two held hands together, the older one held the younger one tightly, and they swayed in the bare woods, like a pair of clumsy young lovers.

Xu Zhen's hand was held warmly by He Ran, but when he saw that the back of He Ran's hand was turning white from the cold, he stopped and motioned for He Ran to turn around.When He Ran stopped, the two of them stood facing each other like elementary school students. Xu Zhen broke free from He Ran's hand, and tiptoed to button He Ran's windbreaker one by one. Muscle, squint eyes and smile, lift chin, "No cool play allowed."

He Ran took a heavy breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and grabbed his hand back domineeringly, stroking his delicate palm with his thumb.

Xu Zhen's hands were itchy from being touched, he couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't break away from He Ran's strength, panting and leaning on He Ran's chest, shouting "cold", both hands were stuffed into the pockets of He Ran's windbreaker.

He Ran raised his eyebrows, followed him to loosen his grip.

Feeling the warm heat in his pocket, Xu Zhen proudly announced: "You are not allowed to touch my hand again, go outside to get cold."

"The housekeeper." He Ran had a smile on his lips, as if he had really been disciplined, and stuck to his hand through a layer of pockets.

Walking along this section of the road, Xu Zhen felt familiar, and asked hesitantly, "Is this the way to the temple on the mountain?"

"Well, there is snow on the mountain in winter, so let's walk down the mountain." He Ran said.

Speaking of that temple, Xu Zhen thought of many things in an instant, and felt very emotional for a while. He still remembered that he worshiped the Buddha at that time. Now that he thinks about it, all those wishes have come true.This feeling is incredible, as if the temple is very spiritual, and he sent himself a He Ran from the sky.

He also thought of He Ran's diary, which is now placed by the Lin'an River, it seems to be their Yuelao.

Xu Zhen couldn't help shaking He Ran's pocket, and when He Ran looked at him, he mustered up the courage to ask, "He Zhou said, you lived with your aunt in the temple when you were young, can you tell me why?"

He asked so timidly, it was his rare courage.But he really wanted to know more about He Ran, and wanted to get in touch with He Ran inextricably.

He Ran caught Xu Zhen's beautiful and nervous eyes, and raised his hand to straighten the soft hair on his forehead, like comforting a small animal.

"My disease is inherited from my mother, who is more sensitive to emotions. When I was in junior high school, her condition was so serious that she couldn't get along well with my father, so she took me to live alone in the mountains. Later, when I was going to school, my family took her in. go back."

After a pause, He Ran added: "She committed suicide when I was in my sophomore year."

Xu Zhen froze in place in fright, and didn't make a sound for a long time. He just stared at He Ran pitifully with his round eyes, and after being at a loss for a while, he whispered: "I'm sorry, don't be sad."

"The matter has passed." He Ran's expression was calm, and he glanced at the mountain, as if he was looking at the distant past.

Having said that, after returning back, Xu Zhen became listless, He Ran helped him take off his down jacket, and he just let He Ran raise his arm in a daze.He Ran kissed his forehead and let him go in first, "I'll go to the kitchen and warm you a glass of milk."

Xu Zhen nodded, and walked in with his head depressed, when he suddenly heard a female voice in the next room say "Of course".

He subconsciously raised his ears.

"Sanfang is really happy today. It's the first time I see her smiling when she returns to her mother's house."

"Can you be unhappy? However, after marrying a man and coming back, they can't have children, and there is no one in the second room. The He family will fall into their hands in the future."

"Who's to blame, Ah Jin doesn't want to marry again at such a young age, but this precious son is still..."

"Shh, you guys want to be scolded, don't get me involved, are you going to beat me?"

Then, there was a sound of rubbing mahjong, and the people inside stopped discussing this matter and started playing mahjong.

Xu Zhen's heart was completely confused because of this conversation, he clenched his palms and slowed down to return to the main hall. He raised his head with trembling lips, and saw He Ran walking over with a glass of milk in his hand.

"Is it freezing? Where is it uncomfortable?" He Ran frowned.

Xu Zhen shook his head, took the glass of milk, drank it in one gulp, put down the glass, and threw himself into He Ran's arms, humming and coquettishly: "Go back to the room."
