pamper her

Qi Pei stayed in Nanli for two days.

Although the relationship between the two is still in a delicate state, Yu Anran can still receive his messages from time to time.

The content was the same as usual, it was just some daily trivial words, which naturally made Yu Anran think that what happened that night was like a dream she had.

On New Year's Eve, Qi Pei flew back to BJ from Nanlan.

It was just before evening when he arrived, and Pei Xin called several times to urge him to go home, saying that he was [-] years old and didn't know how to go home early to help.

According to the past practice, Qi Pei will go back to his parents' house for a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve dinner at other people's houses is lively, and Qi Pei's family only has him and his mother and sister.

In fact, the siblings also have an uncle, but their family has been abroad all year round, and their grandparents and Qi Song have both passed away, so they don't get together very often, especially during Chinese New Year.

After hurrying back, Pei Xin was still busy in the kitchen.

Seeing Qi Pei come in, she complained: "I don't know what day it is today, but I have to call you?"

Qi Pei took off his coat, "I just got off the plane."

"Get off the plane?" Pei Xin glanced at him, "Where are you going after the Chinese New Year?"

Qi Pei took the dish in her hand and briefly told what happened.

No matter how dissatisfied Pei Xin was, she didn't mention him anymore. After all, the inn is far away from BJ, and it is always inconvenient in emergencies.

"Why didn't you ask Anan and Achuan to come to BJ together? Come to the house to celebrate the New Year, and it will be more lively." Pei Xin asked.

"Ask, they don't want to."

Every year, Qi Pei would ask Anan and Achuan if he would like to come to BJ, but the two of them were always embarrassed, for fear of causing trouble to Pei Xin.

"Is it still the second day of the Lunar New Year to return to Haicheng this year?" Qi Pei asked.

Thinking back, he hadn't seen his grandparents for a long time. They took him with him during the three years of high school, which caused a lot of trouble for people. Now he doesn't know how the old man is doing.

"It's not decided yet," Pei Xin said, "I guess I'll go back on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Your uncle didn't come back until that day."

"Why come back at this time?" Qi Pei wondered, "The Spring Festival holiday will be over by then."

"I heard that he is going back to Haicheng to develop. He just told me a few days ago that he has resigned from his job in Shanghai." Pei Xin sighed, "It doesn't matter if we go back to Haicheng, we can't both be outside. How lonely your grandparents are."

"Okay, I'll do the laundry," Pei Xin brought back the dishes, "Go ask Xiao Sheng to come out for dinner."

Qi Sheng had just finished his afternoon nap, he was in a daze and hadn't recovered yet, he was extraordinarily docile.

She obediently walked to the dining table, sat in her seat, and waited for the meal to be served.

At six o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready.

Pei Xin habitually placed an empty bowl and chopsticks on the place that belonged to Qi Song, Qi Pei saw a gloomy look in his eyes.

"It's Chinese New Year," Pei Xin raised his glass, "We will have a happy new year, and I wish us all good health!"

Qi Sheng stretched out his hand, persistently wanting to clink glasses with Pei Xin.

After touching him, he went to touch Qi Pei's again.

There was the sound of firecrackers outside the window, and the news on the TV was also broadcasting festive blessings.

Qi Pei took out the prepared red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Pei Xin and Qi Sheng respectively.

Pei Xin squeezed it, it was quite thick.

"I pack so much every year, my wife has saved enough?"

Qi Pei smiled lightly, "I'm saving it."

Pei Xin picked up a piece of dumpling, "Speaking of which, didn't I ask you to bring An Ran back for dinner, who?"

Qi Pei paused, "Next time."

"Miss Ren doesn't want to?" Pei Xin guessed.

Qi Pei couldn't refute these words.

"What's wrong," Pei Xin asked, "I'll analyze it for you, your mother."

"We'll settle our own affairs."

Pei Xin gave him a merciless sideways glance, "I'm an experienced person anyway, what's the matter?"

Pei Nianyu also stopped her chopsticks and stared straight at Qi Pei.

One big and one small stared at him, Qi Pei pulled his lips helplessly, "What are you doing? Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, concentrate on eating."

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Qi Pei helped Pei Xin clean up the mess, while Qi Sheng sat on the sofa and watched TV.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala started on time.

Pei Xin and Qi Sheng were interested and concentrated on watching, while Qi Pei was always distracted.

He stared at the message he sent to Yu Anran 10 minutes ago, but he still hasn't replied yet.

The sound of fireworks outside the window kept rising and falling, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.

He lowered his eyes and kept rubbing the back of the phone with his fingertips.

After a while, Qi Pei took the car keys on the table and said to Pei Xin: "I'll go out for a while."

"So early? You won't be staying at night!" Pei Xin shouted at him.

Qi Pei waved with his back to her, and then went out.

Pei Xin stared at the doorknob and frowned, then turned around and muttered to Qi Sheng: "Your brother is acting weird today."

Qi Sheng blinked, swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, and uttered a few words: "Sister An Ran."

Yu Anran was in a daze all day long.

Even on the third day, her menstrual period still made her extremely uncomfortable, and she just wanted to lie in bed and sleep.

It wasn't until evening that she was woken up by the sound of fireworks, and she forced herself to get up.

Today is New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, she glanced at the empty living room, and it looked even more deserted.

With a little protest in his stomach, Yu Anran took out the self-heating rice that he bought a few days ago from the cabinet, intending to solve it casually.

She sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the living room table.

Waiting for the self-heating rice break, she scrolled through Moments, and most of them were posting about the New Year's Eve dinner, including Xu Jing who often posted news.

Yu Anran clicked on the picture and took a look, and accidentally saw that there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, she was a little puzzled.

Xu Wei didn't go home during Chinese New Year?

Just as he was thinking, Xu Jing's dialog box popped up on the information bar.

[Xu Jing: My mother asked me to tell you a happy new year, and also said that you should eat well and not starve yourself. 】

Followed by a sweaty expression, we can see her impatience.

Yu Anran glanced through it roughly, and when she saw the last expression, she didn't want to reply her at all.

She clicked back to Moments again.

Song Shi also posted a group photo of the New Year's Eve dinner and family.It can be seen from the photos that their family is a big family, from the elderly to the children, there are more than [-] people in total.

It's no wonder that she is always talked about by her family about her job and finding a partner.

Yu Anran lifted the lid of the self-heating rice and ate it slowly.

It's just that her lower abdomen is still unwell, so she put down the spoon without eating too much.

It was past seven o'clock, and the news was still broadcasting on TV.

Song Shi made a video call to her, and the background seemed to be in the room.

"An Ran, are you really at home alone?"

Yu Anran let out a "hmm".

"What's the matter with your boyfriend? I don't care about you when it's Chinese New Year. Didn't you say that he mentioned before that he would take you back to meet your parents?" Song Shi wiped the camera.

Yu Anran didn't tell Song Shi about her and Qi Pei's affairs, but selectively ignored the latter question, and defended Qi Pei: "He has a mother and a younger sister, so it's normal to go home and have a New Year's Eve dinner with them."

"Oh," Song Shi sighed heavily, "If you want me to say, I shouldn't have come back. It would be nice for us sisters to celebrate the New Year in a rented house."

"what happened?"

"It's not my aunts and aunts!" Song Shi sat up straight, "The firepower at the dinner table was full of fire, and they kept scolding me. They said that I don't work in my hometown, don't look for a partner, and don't go home all year round. Mom gave birth to me in vain."

Song Shi: "I hid in the room without eating a few mouthfuls, otherwise my ears would grow calluses."

"Then are you full?" Yu Anran's focus was always different.

"I'd rather starve to death than listen to their nagging!"

Yu Anran smiled and comforted her: "Just listen to it, don't take their words to heart, or you will just feel uncomfortable."

Song Shi took a deep breath, propped her chin to change the subject: "What are you eating tonight?"

Yu Anran pointed the camera at the table, "Self-heating rice."

"Is this the only one that eats during Chinese New Year?"

"It's good if you can fill your stomach, it's not so particular."

Song Shi made a gesture of clasping her fists: "I admire you."

Glancing up, Yu Anran paused.She said to Song Shi: "I'll call you later, I have a call coming in."

"Row."

The caller asked Yu Anran to go downstairs, saying that someone had sent something to her and she needed to pick it up herself.

Even though he was puzzled, Yu Anran put on his coat and went downstairs as promised, even forgetting to take his mobile phone.

Duan Feiyun stood at the gate of the community, holding a box in his hand.

Seeing Yu Anran coming down, he recognized the person at a glance and rushed to meet him.

Even though he was very sure in his heart, Duan Feiyun still asked: "Are you Qi Pei's girlfriend?"

Yu Anran nodded blankly: "I am."

"That's right. He asked me to make something for him some time ago, and he said that if he finished it years ago, he would bring it to you directly. I didn't expect to drag it until now to finish it."

Duan Feiyun handed the box in his hand to her, "The errand assistant in the store has gone home for the New Year, so I have to deliver it to you myself."

Yu Anran stared at the tulip pattern on the box for a while, then nodded to Duan Feibai: "I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll let you make a trip for the New Year's Eve."

"Why are you being polite to me, Qi Pei is my friend, you are his date, you are also my friend, it's all trivial." Duan Feiyun waved his hand indifferently, "Then I'll go first, happy new year girl!"

"Happy New Year."

Yu Anran went home with her things in her arms.

Putting it on the table, she took a closer look. It looked like a hardcover gift, which reminded her of Qi Pei's saying that there was a gift for her during the New Year. She guessed it was what he was talking about at the time.

Carefully tore off the outermost layer of wrapping paper, a photo album with a pure white cover and several hand-painted tulips printed on it came into view.

Yu Anran took it out of the box.

Open the first page.

Impressively printed on it was the photo he took with Qi Pei on the Nanlan Ring Road at Yunyinghai, the hair was messy but still beautiful.

Eyelashes trembling slightly, Yu Anran continued to scroll down.

In the second picture, the background is a towering snow-capped mountain, with a gurgling stream in the corner, and she was in a daze.

Scroll down again.

The third picture was one she had seen on Qi Pei's computer. She was sleeping soundly when she had a fever in no man's land, her little face flushed.

Then, Yu Anran turned over page by page.

The whole album is full of photos of her in Nanlan back then. The content is not as serious and serious as the promotional photos, but more biased. According to the words on the Internet, it is called the boyfriend's perspective.

When turning to the penultimate one, Yu Anran froze for a moment.The Rizhao Jinshan in the picture is beautiful and shocking. On the flat ground opposite the snow mountain, the girl accidentally kisses the man's side face, and Lunda surrounds them.

It was the first kiss that disturbed her emotional train of thought.

Yu Anran's nose suddenly became sore, and she turned to the last page with trembling fingertips.

This page has only one handwritten sentence...

[The rising and setting of the sun tells us that there will always be a brand new day. 】

Yu Anran thought of that day in Xigushan, Qi Pei told her that the sunset is for you to welcome new life, not death.

Gently touching this sentence with fingertips, the tears that had been held back for several days finally fell uncontrollably, dripping on the word "sun", blurred.

The fireworks exploded in the ears, crackling, with dazzling colors.

There were sparks in her eyes, at this moment, Yu Anran suddenly felt that the sunset was not her new life.

Qi Pei is.

He was the one who dragged her back from the cliff of Xigu Mountain, and it was he who took care of his dying self in the snowy no-man's land.

She should understand that she is no longer alone now, and she can't just feel that all the emotions can be swallowed by herself, and she can't distrust the relationship between them because she has suffered some injuries.

She should walk towards him and try to respond to his unreserved love. She should make Qi Pei feel that she needs him and believes in him, and that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him.

Putting the photo album aside, Yu Anran went to get the phone.

At this moment, she wants to see him crazily, wants to hug him, wants to kiss him, wants to be with him forever.

Before Yu Anran could type, Qi Pei's message was sent first.

【Pei: Come down?I'm downstairs. 】
