End of Chapter 249 (Big Fat Chapter)

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, the plane landed.

The airport was brightly lit, just in time for the beginning of the school year, and most of the people coming out at this time were college students returning to school.

The students, who were full of youthful atmosphere, were bustling and bustling, and you could vaguely hear the pleasant laughter.

Wen Ran followed Jiang Jiliu and Jiang Jichuan to the parking lot.

Before getting in the car, Wen Ran held the door and looked forward.

Not far away, people with suitcases lined up in twos and threes in an orderly manner under the night, waiting for taxis.

Peaceful, peaceful and incredibly safe.

"Mianmian" Jiang Jichuan felt something was wrong with Wen Ran's mood, so he called softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, let's find a hotel nearby to rest."

Wen Ran came back to his senses, shook his head gently, and then got in the car. .

The car was driving quickly on the road, and Wen Ran couldn't take his eyes away from the lights and shadows passing by.

When passing through the city, even though it was almost twelve o'clock, the huge screen was still playing advertisements silently.

What a coincidence, today happens to be Chinese Valentine's Day.

The event is not completely over yet, there are still young ladies and gentlemen wearing Hanfu hanging out in front of various stalls.

The lanterns of various colors are beautiful.

Suddenly, a loud noise exploded in mid-air.

Wen Ran was smart and moved his hand unconsciously to his lower back.

Then large fireworks exploded in the sky.

She put her hand on her empty lower back and stared blankly at the gorgeous fireworks that lit up most of the night sky.

Jiang Jichuan noticed something was wrong with Wen Ran, raised his hand and gently pressed her shoulder.

"Mianmian, we're back, it's safe."

Wen Ran slowly looked back, listening to the sound of fireworks behind her, she went from trembling slightly at the beginning to gradually relaxing her body.

Finally, he raised the corners of his mouth, big tears rolled down silently, and whispered softly, "Yes, I'm back, I'm finally back..."

Neither Jiang Jichuan nor Jiang Jiliu spoke anymore, allowing Wen Ran to cry silently like a vent.

After Wen Ran calmed down a little, Jiang Jiliu said, "Mianmian, although the old house was not burned seriously, it was so smoked that it is so black that it is uninhabitable for the time being. I will find someone to repair it tomorrow. You and Dad Wen live here The flat floor..."

Jiang Jiliu hesitated, but Wen Ran was prepared in her heart. The flat floor was burned more seriously and she would definitely be uninhabitable.

Just as she was thinking about asking Jiang Jiliu to send her to a hotel near the school, she heard him continue.

"Would you like to go take a look now?"

"Yeah" Wen Ran raised his head reflexively and asked.

She nodded in a flash, no matter what, she should go and see it as soon as possible.

As the car drove into the community, Wen Ran looked up.

The outside of the building has been restored, but the repaired areas are relatively new and are still somewhat out of place.

As the elevator went up, Wen Ran was already prepared to see a charred scene when he opened the door.

But I still pray in my heart that I can find one or two remaining old things, which can be considered a comfort.

Looking at the door that had been replaced, Wen Ran hesitated before entering the password.

The sound of unlocking was particularly abrupt in the quiet corridor.

Wen Ran closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened the door suddenly.

There was no burnt taste as expected.

At this time, Jiang Jiliu had turned on the light, and Wen Ran felt the light pouring down and slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she looked shocked and raised her hand in disbelief and shook it in front of her eyes.

It was no different from when she left!

Didn't it mean it was burned?

She looked at Jiang Jiliu in confusion, wondering if she was still in the car and in a dream.

Jiang Jiliu shrugged his shoulders: "A few days ago, Zhou Qixiao asked me about the details of your home and asked for photos. I didn't expect that he actually restored this place in just a few days. Tsk, tsk, all I can say is Awesome!"

Wen Ran still felt a little buoyant, so she took off her shoes and put on the fluffy rabbit slippers. The moment she put them on, the dazed feeling became a little more solid.

The houses are the same, but different.

Because a lot of things are new.

Just like the slippers on your feet, they are the same as before, but the texture is brand new.

But it was this tiny difference that brought her back from unreality to reality.

She walked forward slowly.

Overall, it seems to be exactly the same as before.

But if you look closely, some details that only she knows are different.

Some decorations are new and some have been restored.

But every bit of this shows Zhou Qixiao's intentions.

He has never been to her home, and he cannot come to China. He can only command remotely, but he can do this, which shows how thoughtful he is.

Time was so tight, was it possible that he was still working on these details sleeplessly on the plane to Nanzhou?

Suddenly, Wen Ran's eyes fell on the sofa.

On it was the only thing in the house that had not been there before.

The cat doll she loved so much.

Wen Ran walked over, nestled on the sofa, buried her face in the doll like before, and gently arched her head.

"Zhou Qiqi, thank you..."

She is not hard-hearted, but Zhou Qixiao loves her so much that he regards her as his entire life.

This was too dangerous for both her and himself.

This time he thought he wanted to die for her own good, which was a sign.

If the clouds and winds were lifted lightly and they continued to live like this, sooner or later one of them would definitely collapse again.

Therefore, she cannot be soft-hearted.

Moreover, she believed him.

-Grizzly

Bear Country, in the country house owned by the Romanov family.

Lulu's originally big brown-red waves had lost their color, and now they were dry and messy, and they were tied at the back of her head.

She looked haggard, stepped on the chair by the pool, looked at Zhou Qixiao, who was floating on the water and seemed to be sinking at any moment, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Zhou Qixiao! If you don't work again! I will kill Romano." The Husband Group is sold!"

But the man floating on the water still had his eyes closed, as unresponsive as a dead body.

"Fuck! How about I die with you!" Lulu said, rolling up her sleeves and looking like she was going to jump down and fight Zhou Qixiao.

China, who had serious dark circles under his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her waist to stop her back.

Lulu kicked her feet in the air angrily for a long time, "I really can't bear it anymore! I haven't had a break for a month! All of Eureka's work is on me!!! He still doesn't do anything!"

China also had a headache.

It was originally agreed that he would give her a month's vacation back to Grizzly Bear Country.

What's the result?

As soon as Wen Ran left, Zhou Qixiao immediately failed, and all his work fell on her head.

She didn't know if Zhou Qixiao would die if she continued to work like this, but she would definitely die if she continued to work like this.

With a roll of her eyes, she put down Lulu and patted her head to signal her to behave.

Then he strode to the edge of the pool and squatted down.

"Boss, Miss Wen will be back."

Zhou Qixiao was still floating like a corpse, his limbs were soaked and peeled, and the wounds that had not yet fully healed were white and oozing with blood.

"Didn't she send you a message the day she returned to China, saying thank you for the gift?"

The eyeballs rolled under his eyelids, and Zhou Qixiao finally opened his eyes, looking tired.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse due to lack of water, "It's been a month."

In the past month, Wen Ran didn't reply to any messages he sent.

At first, I thought she had just started school and was busy with her studies, but the posts in Moments were normal.

Half a month later, he refused to give up and asked Shengqing to send her a message. The girl responded instantly!

He then made a video call, but was hung up directly.

The only thing Zhou Qixiao can be thankful for now is that Wen Ran didn't block him and he could still send her messages every day.

Chi Na knew that Wen Ran hadn't responded to any messages from Zhou Qixiao this month. She finally couldn't help but ask, "What did you send her?"

Zhou Qixiao didn't speak, but glanced sideways at the cell phone placed by the swimming pool.

China knew this meant she could see it.

She hurriedly picked up her phone and opened the chat software.

When she pulled up the chat history, her face began to darken.

They were all: I miss you, I can't live without you, can you come back... Oh, oh, oh...

Damn, it's weird that I can care about you!

She slammed the phone to the ground and was about to speak.

Shengqing appeared out of nowhere.

Among the three of them, the little golden retriever is the only one in good condition.

After all, the child was young, and Zhou Qixiao gave him ten times his salary, which made him happy and wished he could live in the company.

At this moment, he jumped and squatted by the swimming pool, shouting: "Boss, didn't Sister Xiaoran ask you to love yourself? I have a way!"

Zhou Qixiao's lifeless eyes turned slightly.

This month has been harder than ever for him.

The thought that Wen Ran would no longer pay attention to him tortured him every minute and every second.

The little girl said before leaving that if he dared to seek death, she would give him his life immediately and hit him seven inches accurately.

So he was like a walking zombie, surviving in a world without Wen Ran, unable to die even if he wanted to.

"Boss! Come here, come here, do as I say, sister Xiaoran will definitely take care of you!"

The word "reason" came out of Shengqing's mouth, turning over like a corpse, like a swimming fish It usually swam over in a whoosh.

Facing Zhou Qixiao's oppressive eyes, the smile on Shengqing's face froze a bit.

He said bravely: "Well, I should take care of you!"

-

Zhou Qixiao casually put on a bathrobe and sat at the dining table.

Due to injuries and irregular diet, his originally strong figure was now a bit thin, and his slightly long hair dripping with water dropped down, making his tough face and facial features appear softer.

Coupled with the sense of melancholy, the whole person was coated with a layer of morbid poignancy.

He looked at the nutritious meal of meat and vegetables in front of him with interest, and frowned.

Shengqing stood nearby and looked at his watch.

"Six o'clock, just in time for dinner."

Zhou Qixiao looked up and said nothing, his bloodshot eyes filled with "that's it" doubts because he wasn't well rested.

Shengqing nodded quickly.

"If you love yourself, you must first eat well and rest well! Boss, you were pestering Sister Xiaoran like a snake before. If I were me, I would scream like a pervert and slap you both in the face. She won't It’s normal to ignore you!”

Zhou Qixiao’s brows furrowed further.

"Try it! Anyway, now you are sent to the frontier and relegated to the cold palace. How will you know if you don't try it!"

Zhou Qixiao was silent for a while, then finally picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.

After finishing the last bite of the meal, Sheng Qing took out Zhou Qixiao's cell phone and took a photo.

"Send the before and after pictures to Sister Xiaoran. Don't cry, I miss you. Just say that the dinner is delicious."

Zhou Qixiao looked calm, took the phone, and looked at Wen Ran. On the profile picture, he lowered his eyelashes and typed slowly.

His fingers hung on the send button for a long time before he pressed it gently.

My heart, which had been lifeless without any expectations, started beating violently again.

It seemed like only a few seconds had passed, and then it seemed like a century.

Looking at the page where there are still no replies.

Zhou Qixiao sneered at himself and was about to throw his phone on the table.

A special ringtone sounds.

He froze and looked at the screen as if he didn't believe it.

[Wow~ Looks very healthy! I ate Malatang tonight, and I will learn from Zhou Qiqi to eat healthy food in the future!]

Zhou Qixiao's expression froze, as if he didn't expect Wen Ran to reply to him.

My thumb gently brushed the cold words, but my heart gradually warmed up.

He suddenly raised his hands to cover his face and laughed.

So that's it... He seemed to understand a little bit.

I understand Wen Ran’s good intentions.

For more than a month, Zhou Qixiao ate on time and reported to Wen Ran every day.

Wen Ran would reply to him every time.

But there were only texts, and she still didn't answer the voice, video, or phone calls he made.

Zhou Qixiao looked at his body that had returned to its former peak state, lying lazily on the chair with his neck against the back of the chair and his head tilted back.

I started to feel irritated again.

What else should I do?

Outside the window, heavy snowflakes were falling one after another.

Shengqing was like a big golden retriever seeing snow for the first time, flopping and tumbling happily.

Suddenly he stopped, glanced at his phone, and immediately swooped to the door as if a robot had received an order.

He quickly shook the snow on his head and body, opened the door and shouted to Zhou Qixiao, who was lying on the chair and turned into a "corpse": "Boss! The snow is beautiful! The snow is beautiful! We can build a snowman for Sister Xiaoran. Look! Sister Xiaoran said that she will build a snowman every year when it snows!"

These last words made Zhou Qixiao a little bit interested.

He propped himself up, casually pulled on a coat, put it on and walked out.

Seeing Shengqing busy building a snowman, he casually helped.

When the snowman as tall as one person was piled up, Zhou Qixiao looked at the snowman that was very similar to the cat doll he gave to Wen Ran, and his tired expression finally brightened up.

He could imagine how happy the little girl was to see this snowman.

They must be all around him, smiling and smiling, praising him sweetly.

He had no fond memories of winter and heavy snow.

In his memory, winter was very cold, and every heavy snowfall might kill him.

Especially when he was doing tasks, he was nestled in the snow, motionless, and he could clearly feel his whole body stiffening little by little...

But at this moment, he felt something different in his heart.

Snow can bring happiness to Wen Ran.

He raised his hand, and a large snowflake fell on his sleeve.

Crystal clear and exquisite structure.

It was something he had never noticed before.

An unexpected word popped into my head.

Very beautiful.

He accidentally took out his mobile phone, took a photo, and sent it to Wen Ran.

This time there was no deliberate flattery or humble entanglement.

Just a few simple words [It’s beautiful, I want to share it with you. 】

Share

Zhou Qixiao was a little confused.

He thought it was ridiculous that he would use this word

, so his phone vibrated.

He looked at the screen in disbelief.

After two months, Wen Ran finally sent him a picture.

It was her standing in the snow, with a palm-sized cat and doll-like snowman beside her.

Just as he thought, the little girl smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Her red lips were bright and slightly open, as if she was coquettishly sweet and warm with him.

[What a coincidence, we have the first snow here! Maomao Snowman is here for you! It’s so cold, I want to crawl into Qiqi’s arms to keep warm!]

Zhou Qixiao suddenly laughed, and the originally lifeless man now laughed wildly. open.

[Well, when you come back, I will take off my clothes to warm you up. 】

-In

the following period, Zhou Qixiao became much more relaxed, as if he had returned to the wanton and arrogant Tenth Master before.

But when he sees the blue sky, he will stop and look up.

Occasionally seeing beautiful flowers on the roadside, he would take pictures and share them with Wen Ran.

In his free time, he also listens to music. Recently, he has fallen in love with painting. However, at his current level, whether he draws a circle or a square depends on his touch and luck.

At the end of the year, Zhou Qixiao received a red medal from the Grizzly Bear Army.

In recognition of his contribution to the country.

In the past, Zhou Qixiao would have thrown away the medal with disdain.

But this time, images of working day and night in the research room popped up in his mind, and he seemed to have found what he wanted to do.

He took a photo for Wen Ran.

[I will go back to the Weapons Research Institute tomorrow, Wen Mianmian, how about we see who develops a new weapon first and loses in a striptease]

Zhou Qixiao finished his post and leaned on the chair, waiting for Wen Ran to reply to him.

But this time, he was stunned for a moment by the unfamiliar ringtone.

The next second he answered the call in a hurry and in disbelief.

"Then I'm not at a disadvantage, right? Zhou Qiqi, if you lose, just dance for me, no need to take off your clothes!"

The little girl's voice was as sweet and crisp as ever, with a hint of smile, which you can imagine just by listening to her voice To her cunning look.

After more than three months, he finally heard her voice.

At this moment, Zhou Qixiao felt that happiness surrounded him.

He swallowed slowly and rolled his Adam's apple a few times before he found his voice: "Okay, Mianmian... I will work hard."

-

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Qixiao sat around with Chi Na, Sheng Qing, and Lulu A table.

The originally deserted room was decorated by a few people and filled with red joy.

Zhou Qixiao also helped hang up a string of lanterns.

The moment the light came on, the warm color reflected in his eyes, softening his gaze.

He put one hand in his pocket and leaned against the wall lazily. He was about to call Wen Ran. After thinking about it, he planned to take a short video and send it to her first.

The moment he raised his phone, Shengqing noticed it and immediately raised his hand in a gesture.

Chi Na and Lulu also turned around at this time, and just as they were about to laugh, they heard Zhou Qixiao say: "Mianmian, I am celebrating the New Year with my friends."

The words "friends" shocked the three people present.

It was Shengqing who reacted first and jumped up suddenly, hugging Chi Na and Lulu at the same time.

"We are friends and family!" Then he grinned, showing his big white teeth, "Sister Xiaoran, come back soon! We love each other and are a family! Haha!"

Chi Na nodded calmly, but turned red. The tips of her ears revealed her inner shyness.

Lulu pretended to be carefree and snorted, but the moment she turned her head, tears welled up in her eyes.

Friends and family are so difficult for people like them.

Send the video.

Zhou Qi Xiao was about to call Wen Ran.

A video call was sent over there.

Although he had adjusted his mentality a long time ago, Zhou Qixiao's hands were slightly trembling after seeing Wen Ran alive again after half a year.

The moment the video went through, the little girl's pretty face came into view.

She seems to be thinner, but her facial features are becoming more gorgeous.

"Zhou Qiqi, happy New Year!"

Behind the scenes, the godmother's family was bustling with excitement. Jiang Jiliu came over and went to make dumplings after paying New Year greetings to Zhou Qixiao.

In the past twenty years or so, Zhou Qixiao's place had been deserted.

But now, inside and outside the video, everything is lively and lively, with the air of human beings.

Zhou Qixiao's eyes reflected Wen Ran's face, which was focused and gentle. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled heartily.

"Happy New Year, baby Mianmian."

-

On Zhou Qixiao's birthday, he was sitting on the beach.

He made an appointment with Wen Ran to watch the sunrise on the sea together via video call.

Before sunrise, the moon sets and is obscured by dark clouds.

The endless sea is filled with oppressive darkness.

The sound of waves comes one after another, charming and terrifying.

Zhou Qixiao held the mobile phone in his big hand, waiting for Wen Ran to make a video call to him.

But when the sky turned a little white, there was still no response.

He sent a message, but got no reply.

Zhou Qixiao chuckled helplessly.

It seems that Wen Xiaozhu overslept again.

He raised his phone, wanting to take a picture and show it to Wen Ran.

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the sea, the originally dark sea seems to be ignited with golden flames.

At this time, there was the sound of soft footsteps behind him.

Zhou Qixiao frowned slightly.

This is a private beach. Someone came in impatiently and was

about to turn around when he heard a familiar sweet and crisp voice: "It's so beautiful! As beautiful as Qiqi's eyes!"

Zhou Qixiao's body stiffened and he turned around suddenly. .

Just look at Wen Ran with his hands behind his back and smiling sweetly at him as always.

The little girl reflected the bright golden light, her eyes half closed, as bright and dazzling as the scorching sun.

Zhou Qixiao's pupils trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The next second he stood up suddenly and hugged the little girl who was flying towards him into his arms.

The ocean in the dark is strange and unpredictable, as if it is blurry and can swallow people up at any time.

But the moment the sun came out, it was sparkling and dazzling.

Behind him, the floating light leaps into gold, and the sea waits for the sun.

In his arms, there was sweetness and warmth, and Zhou Qiqi waited for his warmth.

At this moment, those blue eyes reflected his little sun.

Like the sea embracing the warm sun.

Brilliant.
