The next morning I slept soundly. I don’t know which family in the community, they started to set off firecrackers in the early morning. The crackling lasted for several minutes. I’m afraid it’s a light with thousands of rings, which directly woke me up from my sleep.

When I was in a daze, I reached out and hooked the phone under the pillow to check what time it was, but the screen didn't light up after a couple of fiddles, and then I belatedly remembered that the phone turned off automatically when it ran out of battery.It took a long time to make that phone call, and when I hung up, the battery was less than [-] percent. In addition, the temperature was particularly low at night, and the battery soon couldn't last.

I originally wanted to wait for the sound of firecrackers to stop and go back to sleep, but I was afraid that Ning Ran would be unhappy if he couldn't find me after waking up, so I shivered and got up to charge the phone, and immediately jumped back on the bed on tiptoe.

When my mother knocked on the door, I was still immersed in the feeling of returning to the cage, and I didn't respond at all.She knocked on the door for a long time but didn't hear my answer, so she opened the door and came in, pulled away my tightly tucked quilt feet, let the cool breeze penetrate into the quilt, and stretched out her hands to pinch my face, trying to twist me wake up.

"Hurry up, the sun is already drying my ass outside, I'm so lazy on the first day of the first lunar month, and I can't work hard all year." My mother dragged my quilt in her hand and babbled non-stop, which made me dizzy , "Your dad has cooked all the noodles, and is waiting for you to get up for breakfast. Seeing that you can't wake up, you were a thief last night? What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

My eyelids twitched, my ears felt hot, and I covered it up by lowering my head and rubbing my eyes, and casually dismissed my mother, "There were people setting off firecrackers outside last night, and I didn't sleep well. You go out first, I need to change clothes It's gone." Isn't it just a thief?I didn't steal anything, but I stole someone back.

My mother saw that I was already sitting up and was about to get up, so she let me go and turned around, said "Hurry up", and then closed the door for me.

I took two deep breaths and let it out heavily, resigned to my fate, changed my clothes and rolled out of bed, took my phone and checked, it was already 09:30 in the morning, and there was no news on the phone, probably Ning Ran hadn't woken up yet.

After washing up, I went to the dining room. My parents had already sat down and started to eat breakfast. There was also a bowl of noodles on the dining table, which was reserved for me.

According to the habit of our family, noodles are eaten on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, and green vegetables are added to the noodles, which means that the new year will be clean.

When I went to wash up, I took out my phone by the way and put it in the living room to continue charging.After eating two bites of the noodles, the phone kept ringing, reminding me that there was a new message coming in.

"Are you too busy with business?" My mother didn't even look at me, her tone was light and airy.

I pretended to care about sucking the noodles, so I didn't dare to answer.When my father heard what my mother said, he stopped his chopsticks and glanced at me, and whispered "tsk tsk" twice, unable to understand what it meant.

I was overly concerned by my parents, and I finally got my phone after dinner was cleaned up. Ning Ran had already sent a bunch of messages, as if chasing after his life.

-good morning~

- It's ten o'clock soon, and you won't wake me up

- still sleeping

- Then I'll have breakfast first, you woke up with a squeak

Maybe it's because I haven't received any reply, Ning Ran thought I was still sleeping, so she stopped talking.

I read the news several times, and I always have a subtle feeling that I haven't adapted to this change in identity, and Ning Ran seems to have begun to enter a new role.

This... will my reaction be a little cold?It seems that I should send her a message first?I held my mobile phone in thought for a long time, and hesitated to reply her a few words.

- I was eating just now, and I didn't have my phone with me.

- I woke up for a while, I slept late last night, so I didn't call you.

As soon as the message was sent, Ning Ran's phone call came.The ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the house, causing my parents to look over, and the two inquisitive eyes fell on me at the same time, making me feel uncomfortable.

I didn't want to meet their eyes, so I pretended to be calm, grabbed my phone and went back to my room, closed the door lightly and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Hello! Why are you taking so long to answer?" Ning Ran complained softly as soon as the call was connected, sounding a little coquettish.

"I was in the living room just now, I went back to the room to pick it up."

"Oh—then what are you doing today? What's the plan?"

today?Of course, the first day of the first lunar month is with my family. Can I still go out to play?Unless I want to be twisted by my parents during the Chinese New Year.

"First go to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to grandma's side, the same as before. I guess it will be over later."

"Go all day?"

"Yeah, hasn't it been arranged like this for so many years? What's the matter?"

Ning Ran stopped talking for a while, as if no one answered the call.

I couldn't help frowning, and tentatively called her, "Ning Ran? What's wrong? Are you listening?"

After calling twice, she agreed, but her tone sounded a little low, "Well, I'm here."

"I thought there was a problem with the signal on your side and I couldn't hear it."

"No."

I sensed that something was wrong, and I was about to ask her, but suddenly realized that our relationship is different now, so I deliberately softened my voice before speaking again, "Then why didn't you talk all of a sudden?"

The other side faltered for a while, but did not answer.

I feel more and more that my intuition is still very accurate, "You don't seem very happy?"

Perhaps it was because I picked it out, and Ning Ran didn't continue to hide it, and said the reason with a little hesitation, "It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just, I'm afraid you will regret it."

"Huh?" I was stunned when I heard the words, "Why?"

Ning Ran was really wronged, her voice was very soft, but it was very clear, I could hear her clearly, even the sigh when she broke the sentence, "I woke up in the morning and went to check my phone, I thought you were Will send me a message, but there is nothing. We only confirmed our relationship eight hours ago, wouldn't you want to contact each other immediately when you opened your eyes?"

"And just now I asked you what your plans are for today, and you said that it was the same as before, and you didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​coming out to see me."

I didn't expect to encounter such a situation on the first day of dating. I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and my mouth was so stupid that I didn't know what to say.

After confirming the relationship, Ning Ran seemed to be a little extra sensitive, and even faintly worried about gains and losses.And I really didn't think so much.

I didn't speak immediately, and was preparing to speak, but the brief silence made Ning Ran anxious, and asked in a sullen tone: "You just regret it, don't you? You lied to me when you said you would give me a chance last night. ?”

"Okay, okay, don't think too much." I quickly interrupted her helplessly, wanting to say that she was too sensitive, and afraid that she would mistakenly think that I was dissatisfied with it, so I took a deep breath to make my tone sound Be gentle, "I have no regrets, nor did I lie to you, really."

As I said that, I looked back at the bedroom door, walked a few steps in and leaned against the window, and continued: "I was going to send you a message when I woke up in the morning, but I remembered that we slept late at night and were afraid of disturbing you." If you rest, I didn't call you."

After hearing the explanation, Ning Ran was still dissatisfied, so she hummed, "Just post it, even if it wakes me up, I'd be happy."

I was blocked by her words, so I had no choice but to respond with a smile, "Okay, I will remember, I will look for you as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, okay?"

There were two low laughs from the opposite side.Ning Ran cleared his throat, but still refused to let me go, "Then can you come out today?"

Everything else is okay, but this matter is really difficult.In previous years, on the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, my parents and I spent time at the homes of the elders on both sides. Even if we had nothing to do, we still had to stay for a whole day to be with the elders. We never retreated halfway.If he slipped away suddenly this year, he would definitely be dragged and lectured by his parents.Originally, the number of times I went home was only a handful, and it was so easy to stay with the elderly for two days during the Chinese New Year, and I couldn't run away.

"This..." I didn't give a confirmation letter for a long time.

Ning Ran knew it was impossible as soon as she heard it, and she was a little bit happier when she was coaxed, but now she sighed again, "Oh, forget it, you can spend good time with grandparents. I will go back to my hometown tomorrow, my parents said We're not here on New Year's Eve, so we have to go back and have a look during the first month."

"When are you coming back?"

"I don't know yet, at least I have to stay for a few days." She said with some hesitation, as if she hadn't decided yet.

Originally, there were only seven days of holidays for the Spring Festival, so after this calculation, there was not much time left.

I was also a little disappointed. Just as I was about to sigh, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind and I remembered something.

"Can you come back on the fourth day? If you can come back on the fourth day, we can go out for a day on the fifth day." If I remember correctly, the fifth day is February [-]th in the Gregorian calendar.

"Huh?" Ning Ran's tone rose slightly, and the subtle nasal voice made my ears itch, "The fifth day?"

"Yeah." I touched the tip of my nose, a little uncomfortable.

Ning Ran slowed down for two seconds, as if he had figured out something, he chuckled suddenly, his whole body softened a lot.

I heard her clear laughter, even though she was not in front of me, I still felt a little shy, I scratched my temple hair and waited for her to reply.

"Then it's settled. I'll be back on the fourth day, and we'll go out on the fifth day." After waiting for a while, Ning Ran restrained her smile, as if all the previous unhappiness had been forgotten by her.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." My tone was unbearably soft.

After hanging up the phone, I subconsciously pressed the back of my hand to my face. I felt a little hot, so I went directly to the living room to be interrogated by my parents. I opened the window and blew some cold air to cool myself down.

Although I deliberately concealed it, my parents still caught me when I went out, and they asked each of them one by one.

"Yo, are you willing to come out? You have to hide when you make a phone call. It's so mysterious that we won't listen to it."

"Is there something wrong and you don't want to tell us?"

I twitched my lips in embarrassment, and then pretended to be very helpless and quibbled: "Why, Ning Ran is calling, why don't we let you listen together if we have something private?"

As soon as the parents heard that it was Ning Ran who called, they stopped.They have never thought in other directions, so they will not suspect anything. In their eyes, Ning Ran and I have been friends for many years, and it is normal to share small secrets with each other.

I fooled around with a few nonsense words, and didn't explain to them again. My mind had already drifted to the itinerary for the fifth day of the lunar new year.

This should be regarded as our first official date, and it should be planned well.
