Chen Jing'an never thought that Shen Liehui would suddenly appear, alone and alone in Jiangcheng, behind her on the New Year's Eve reunion night.

It might have something to do with her family, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just asked when he came and why he didn't tell her in advance.

Chen Jing'an raised his face, and his face, which was red from the cold, coincided with the appearance of the mobile phone screen.

Shen Lie hugged her.

"It's just a temporary idea."

He said simply, and Chen Jing'an did not continue to ask.

She was wearing a bloated white down jacket, with a scarf tied very close to cover her ears that were prone to cold. She lowered her head and hid most of her face. Shen Lie dug her face out of the scarf. Her lips were brightly colored. He hadn't seen them for a long time. He instinctively He held her chin and kissed her, but without touching her, she turned her head and put her hand on his chest.

"There is someone." The voice was low.

Chen Jing'an and Shen Lie turned around at the same time. Several children were lined up side by side, from low to high, like little carrots. Without exception, they looked at the two with dark round eyes.

Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and called uncertainly: "Brother?"

"No, I should call you brother-in-law." An older child immediately corrected him, "Sister Jing'an, right?"

"Brother-in-law?"

in a low voice, with a smile. Yi's voice.

The tips of Chen Jing'an's ears turned red: "You are a big kid, don't complain when you go back, otherwise there will be no fireworks in the future."

"I know, keep it a secret!"

"I will keep it a secret too!"

"I won't tell you, even to death. "

..."

Several children quickly expressed their loyalty.

Chen Jing'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he let them play by themselves. He turned around and looked at Shen Lie and asked, "Can you play?"

"It shouldn't be difficult?"

There were many types in the big plastic bag, all of which they had chosen in the fireworks shop. Yes, there are many kinds of toys these days. Chen Jing'an has never played with many of them. With the instigation of the little guys, she bought so many that the elders in the family said she couldn't spoil her children so much.

It doesn’t matter, it only happens once a year.

Shen Lie squatted down.

Without him having to choose, someone took the initiative to tell him what beautiful fireworks are and what makes a powerful sound.

Chen Jing'an is responsible for lighting the fire.

It's like telling a child to throw it away in time if he says one more thing, so as not to blow it up.

The hanging eyelashes are long and warped.

"Do you play like this every year? Take a bunch of kids and play here?" Shen Lie asked.

"Well, I don't know how to play cards, so I'm responsible for taking care of the children. Actually... it's quite interesting." Playing with children makes you feel confident doing things you are embarrassed to do.

Her smile was soft and quiet, much like a stuffed bunny.

"Give you some?" Chen Jing'an asked.

"Okay."

She came over carefully, raised her hand to block the wind on one side, and the lighter sparked a small flame, illuminating the palm of her hand. She carefully came over and lit the fuse.

"Throw it away!"

He then took a step back.

Shen Lie pulled his lips and smiled, holding it in his hand without moving. He waited until the fuse was about to burn and threw it out, exploding in the air with stars.

"Wow."

The children cheered and clapped.

Chen Jing'an frowned and told them seriously that this was a wrong example and they couldn't learn from it. If you throw it away late, it will easily explode. Several children nodded heavily, deeply agreeing with it.

"You can't do this either!"

She covered her mouth with the scarf and pulled it down.

Shen Lie smiled lazily and said, "It's up to you."

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the fireworks were set off on time. First there was a roar into the night sky, followed by more sounds, from all directions in the city, When the fireworks reach their highest point, they are set off one after another, creating a dazzling display of light and shadow.

The hands of the two people naturally intertwined.

Chen Jing'an breathed in the cold winter wind, smiled with curved lips, and said auspicious words such as Happy New Year like when her elders gave out red envelopes.

The children follow suit and clench their fists to say New Year greetings.

Before this, the Spring Festival was just an ordinary day for Shen Lie.

And he remembered this day for a long time.

The fireworks gradually ended, and there were fewer and fewer people on the bridge.

Chen's mother had already called her and asked her when she would be back. Late night snacks were prepared at home, and she said it would be soon.

Now is the Spring Festival, some restaurants and hotels have closed. Chen Jing'an looked at the quiet and dark streets and asked: "Have you booked a hotel?"

Shen Lie did not answer her question, but said in a joking tone: "Otherwise you Take me in?"

Chen Jing'an was stunned for a moment.

After just a moment, Shen Lie looked in his eyes and saw that she was really thinking about it. He rubbed her hair and said, "I'm just joking with you. I'll return tonight."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you don't go back, the sky will be overturned. ." Shen Lie's tone was very calm.

That's Shen Lie's family matter.

Chen Jing'an thought of the illegitimate son, and the Shen family should be very uneasy.

"Go back early." Shen Lie said.

The car to pick him up had already arrived and was parked on the empty roadside.

"Okay, bye."

Chen Jing'an waved, and the little ones waved too. Then Shen Lie turned around. She took one more look and then took it back, letting the little ones walk back hand in hand, with their eyelashes lowered and flooded with thoughts.

She was actually afraid that she would be soft-hearted. Just like Shen Lie said, she would ask him hot-headedly if he wanted to go home with her.

Chen Jing'an knew that she was a little moved.

But there should be a line between two people that should not be crossed.

Yes.

It can only go so far as to like it.

—I

saw Yu Shengsheng again after the semester started. She was going to come to the Conservatory of Music to study for a master's degree. She had met the professors at the school during the previous competition. This time she came to meet her future mentor and talk about her studies.

Meeting Chen Jing'an was no accident.

Yu Shengsheng was quite frank: "I really want to apologize to you. The last time I said that, it may have made you feel uncomfortable, but I really didn't mean any harm."

"Then you don't have to apologize."

"But then you Ignore me, Chen Jing'an, I later found out something about you... I quite sympathize with you, can you have a drink and chat more?"

Chen Jing'an stopped and asked: "My... what's the matter? "

It's about you and Shen Lie."

Chen Jing'an raised his eyes.

The two of them sat down at the milk tea shop on campus.

"You should have seen that I was with Shen Lie's brother."

"He is your boyfriend?"

"How could it be? He is my brother."

Yusheng stirred the straw: "As I told you, my aunt's child has been fostered in our family since my aunt passed away. It was not until last year that the Shen family had any intention of recognizing him."

"You should too. Do you hate him?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Yeah?"

"I hate him quite a bit." The rest of the voice was unconcealed, "Speaking of which, he forced my aunt to die."

"You said last time that your aunt died a few years after they got married." Chen Jing'an said: "He must have been very young at that time."

"So what? You know that some people are born bad and lack compassion from birth. My aunt only saw him before she died. Before that, she She was very happy. She had just bought a house for her grandparents and she had not had time to decorate it. She jumped off the building the night she met Shen Lie. " She

was only 28 years old when my aunt died."

just this.

Chen Jing listened quietly.

Yu Shengsheng sniffed and adjusted her mood: "She is really good. She was clearly the one who appeared first, but later she had to bear the infamy of being a mistress and even had to secretly give birth to a child. Is she really that evil? "

If you want to leave Shen Lie, we can help."

"What should I do?" Chen Jing'an asked.

Yu Shengsheng held her hand: "You don't need to do much..."

Chen Jing'an pulled her hand away, with a calm expression, and asked in a very soft voice: "So, did you want to use me from the beginning?"

Where? There were so many unprovoked overtures. Ruan Ling mentioned that Yu Shengsheng was the kind of person with a very clear purpose.

The purpose is sometimes too strong and too obvious.

Chen Jing'an's eyes were too clean.

The remaining voice was broken, and he avoided her gaze: "It doesn't need to be said so harshly. I think we should each get what we need."

"I think you may have found the wrong person."

"Why? Do you really think so? Who would Shen Lie really like you, marry you, and let you enter the Shen family? My aunt once naively thought that the result would be a cold corpse."

"I didn't."

Chen Jing'an looked at it. Looking at her: "I have never thought about it that way."

If Qin Yinian had the illusion of abandoning reality, people should learn from each other and fall twice in the same place, which is stupid.

Just think of it as a happy journey.

When the time came, they got off the car.

She was too calm. She was not pretending, nor was she trying to be brave. She was so calm that her heart felt cold after the sound. The two of them had met several times, but it seemed that they had never seen Chen Jing'an's mood swings. Even if he was offended, , she was also indifferent, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"You're quite scary."

Yu Sheng's lips twitched: "Really."
