Love begins with binding a girl with problems

Chapter 162
"Bang bang bang,"

The short and hasty knock on the door interrupted all Jiang Yu's thoughts.

Jiang Yu came to the door vigilantly.

When he opened the door a little, the kid outside the door was already squeezing in excitedly.

"Brother~!!"

Lin Nannan greeted in a childish voice, and then kept digging in.

Jiang Yu didn't react for a while.

Lin Nannan had already thrown off his cotton shoes and rushed into his living room.

The little kid first looked into the room, and then found a cat sitting on the desk licking its paws, and shouted "Hanamaki!" ', people have already rushed over.

When had Hanamaki ever seen such an enthusiastic human being, she was so frightened by Lin Nannan that she went directly under the sofa.

"..."

Jiang Yu was indifferent to the call for help from Hanajuan in the living room, he lowered his head and looked at Lin Nanxi in front of him.

Lin Nanxi is wearing a red cotton jacket today, with black skirt socks on the lower body.

There is a bear embroidery on the cotton-padded jacket. Because it is bulging with cotton stuffing, Lin Nanxi also looks bulging.

The long red scarf covered her frozen red face, she gently raised her head and looked at Jiang Yu.

"Auntie called and said, you are at home by yourself...so I came over."

Afraid that Jiang Yu would blame him for coming to his house without authorization, Lin Nanxi explained in a low voice.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"... Then you asked me for a photo of the reunion dinner at grandma's house."

Jiang Yu hooked his fingers and scratched the tip of Lin Nanxi's nose.

"Xixi is getting worse and worse."

Lin Nanxi snorted softly, and his black eyes shined in the corridor.

"Hmph... If I knock on the door later, Jiang Yu will send pictures to deceive me."

The two knew each other too well, and Jiang Yu knew that he couldn't fool Lin Nanxi.

"Ah chirp...!"

"Brother, Hanamaki won't play with me... Ah Chirp!"

The sneezing in the living room interrupted this brief tenderness.

Jiang Yu came to his senses and went to the living room to check on Lin Nannan.

I saw that Lin Nannan was completely lying on the ground.

This was his first time to Jiang Yu's house. The spacious and luxurious decoration of Jiang Yu's house shocked Lin Nannan for a moment, but what attracted his attention more was the kitten that was mentioned by his sister every day.

"...It will definitely not come out if you act like this." Jiang Yu said helplessly.

In the corner, Hanamaki was curled up in a corner of the sofa and shivering, staring at Lin Nannan warily.

For some reason, when Jiang Yu saw such a flower scroll, he inexplicably remembered that when he first met Lin Nanxi, Lin Nanxi also huddled in a corner like this in school.

"...But, I want to hug it—ah chirp!!"

Lin Nannan let out a big sneeze and snot bubbles.

Lin Nanxi took two pieces of toilet paper from the coffee table with ease and put them in Lin Nannan's hands.

"Nan Nan, you are allergic to cat fur, so don't play with Hanamaki." Lin Nanxi preached softly.

Unlike the young girl in front of Jiang Yu, Lin Nanxi is always a dignified and caring big sister in front of Lin Nannan.

"Hey, but I want to see Hanamaki...ah!"

Lin Nannan rubbed her nose. She really couldn't stand the allergies, so she listened to her sister and stood up first.

"Let Brother Jiang and Jiang Yu take more photos for you in the future." Lin Nanxi said.

"Oh... alright." Lin Nannan nodded obediently.

Jiang Yu glanced at Lin Nanxi secretly.

I thought to myself, it's really itchy to be called my brother during the Chinese New Year.

In the end, Jiang Yu successfully tricked the Hanamaki out from under the sofa with a small dried fish, and then let Lin Nannan touch it, which can be regarded as letting this little kid have no regrets in the New Year's Eve.

When Hanamaki was touched by Lin Nannan, the struggling appearance seemed to be tortured, which made Jiang Yu and Lin Nanxi laugh non-stop.

"Shouldn't you be having New Year's Eve dinner at home now?" Jiang Yu asked suddenly.

The time on the clock at home has already shown that it is almost eight o'clock.

Eight o'clock in the evening on the New Year's Eve, for most families, this time is the time to finish the reunion dinner and sit around in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Nanxi obviously hasn't had dinner yet, at least Jiang Yu hasn't felt that Lin Nanxi has eaten since the afternoon.

"Yes," Lin Nannan put the flower roll back on the ground, patted the cat hair on his clothes and stood up, "So let's take brother home to eat...Ah Choo!!"

In the middle of Lin Nannan's words, he was choked back by a big sneeze.

Lin Nanxi had no choice but to say the second half of the sentence for him: "Mom said, let's have New Year's Eve dinner with you."

Wang Yan is a kind-hearted woman. When she knew from Lin Nanxi that Jiang Yu's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten alone at home, she asked Lin Nanxi to take Jiang Yu over without hesitation.

Therefore, after Lin Nanxi got her mother's consent, she brought her younger brother over without stopping.

In order to catch up with time, she even paid for a taxi.

The taxis on New Year's Eve are very expensive, and the starting price is 15 yuan. Lin Nanxi gritted her teeth and decided to come over in person to surprise Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu did receive a big surprise.

"...how good is this."

Anyway, the two of them are still just friends now, it's fine to go to Lin Nanxi's house as a guest, but this is New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion, Jiang Yu is not a member of Lin Nanxi's family, he knows that his presence will appear awkward.

Lin Nannan hugged Jiang Yu's arm and said to him in a sticky voice.

"Oh, brother, why don't you go... Mom made you non-spicy fried rice with eggs, and the hot pot at home is also made by mandarin ducks!"

"..."

Seeing that Jiang Yu was already moved, Lin Nannan decided to step up his efforts.

"If brother doesn't go, sister will definitely cry!" Lin Nannan said in a trembling voice.

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Nanxi.

His shocked and surprised expression seemed to be asking Lin Nanxi, 'Is this true? '

Lin Nanxi was quite shy when she was told this, but she nodded her head just to coax Jiang Yu a little.

"Yes, yes."

"That can't be helped."

Jiang Yu didn't even need to find excuses for himself, he tugged at his loose collar, rubbed Lin Nannan's head, and said with a smile.

"Wait for brother to change."

"En!" Lin Nannan nodded vigorously.

Jiang Yu went back to the room and tossed for a while.

In order to match today's festival theme and to wear the same color clothes as Lin Nanxi, he went through his wardrobe from beginning to end.

Most of Jiang Yu's winter clothes are black, white and gray, and there is no red coat at all.

Later, I managed to find a stitching color of red and white, and then I walked out of the room.

New Year's Eve...

He has never really celebrated New Year's Eve in his life.

This time this year, it will probably leave a deep memory.

"Give."

When passing by Lin Nannan, Jiang Yu stuffed something into Lin Nannan's arms.

Lin Nannan thought it was some kind of toy.

When he happily raised his hand to look at it, he was completely shocked.

"..."

What a big stack of banknotes? !

Lin Nannan turned her head stiffly to see what her sister meant.

"This is the New Year's money given to you by your brother, and your sister can't decide."

Jiang Yu couldn't find any red envelopes at home, so he could only fold the money and stuff it away.

In fact, the money is not much, Jiang Yu has controlled the amount.

It's only 500 yuan, and it doesn't matter much in your hand.

But 500 yuan is an astonishing amount for a child like Lin Nannan.

"Take it to buy something delicious." Jiang Yu rubbed Lin Nannan's head and said.

During the Chinese New Year, it is normal for older brothers and sisters to give lucky money to younger brothers and sisters. Lin Nanxi couldn't say anything, so she could only sigh silently.

"Sister, sister, can I take five yuan to buy sausages!!"

Downstairs in the apartment, the cold wind in the middle of winter night blows on the face like blades, but the freezing temperature is difficult to cool down the temperature between the three of them.

Lin Nanxi looked at the lively younger brother in front of him, and nodded slightly.

"Can……"

"Okay~!"

Lin Nannan wandered around on the spot. He had never had so much money in his hand, and the money was enough to keep him excited for a long time.

"What does my sister want, I want to buy it for my sister!" Lin Nannan's childish face was full of smiles.

"Sister, you don't need to buy it," Jiang Yu called the online car-hailing car, took a step forward, staggered Lin Nannan's sight, and secretly took Lin Nanxi's hand.

"My brother will buy my sister's share."

"Hey~" Lin Nannan blinked her bright eyes.

For a child of his age, he couldn't think of things too far away, he just simply felt that...

"My brother is so kind to my sister!"

……

The New Year’s Eve dinner at Lin Nanxi’s house is very simple.

According to Lin Nanxi, because I was delayed at grandma’s house for too long in the afternoon, this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was directly the most trouble-free hot pot.

All kinds of vegetables, meat and eggs are cooked in one pot, and there are all kinds of food. For a small family of three like Lin Nanxi, this way of eating is very suitable.

"Cheers~~"

Four people sat together in front of a small dining table.

In the center of the small square table, the hot pot is bubbling with boiling bubbles, and the hot air permeates together, accompanied by aroma and laughter.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV, and Lin Nanxi smiled with intoxicating dimples on her face.Jiang Yu suddenly wondered if he was dreaming.

Probably, he would only dream of this kind of scene when he was dreaming.

Jiang Yu finished the drink in the cup and looked down at his reflection in the Coke cup, feeling inexplicably moved.

He feels like a stray cat that has been thrown away. No one has picked him up in the past 18 years.

Now, he seems to have been picked up.

"Hey, my brother is weaker than me in eating chili~~~~ hehehe~~~"

Lin Nannan watched helplessly as her sister scalded a piece of hairy belly, then filtered it through two clean water bowls until the red oil and chili on the hairy belly were gone, and then put the hairy belly into his brother's bowl.

"When I was four years old, I only used one bowl to boil chili, brother!!"

Lin Nannan proudly put his hands on his hips, he wanted to get closer to watch his brother eat the tasteless hairy belly.

"........."

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Nannan's expectant eyes helplessly.

In order to establish himself as a majestic and majestic image in front of his younger brother, Jiang Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.

"...I can eat spicy food now."

"Give you."

As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Lin Nanxi seemed to be ready and placed another piece of freshly blanched red oil tripe on top of Jiang Yu's egg fried rice.

"..." Jiang Yu's Adam's apple rolled.

How does it feel, I seem to have stepped into the trap.

His family is...shouldn't be hurting him on purpose, right?

Jiang Yu sneaked a glance at Lin Nanxi, Lin Nanxi had no expression on her face, she was continuing to blanch Jiang Yu's beef.

Jiang Yu directly held his breath, and ate the hairy belly that was glowing red in the oily light.

This time, he didn't choke on the pepper water again, but the peppercorns exploding in his mouth made Jiang Yu close his eyes in pain.

At the same moment, Jiang Yu and Lin Nanxi covered their mouths at the same time.

"Hahaha, this pot of oil is very spicy, my brother is a foreigner, so you have to take your time when eating chili~!"

Lin Nannan's childish voice rang in Jiang Yu's ears, and then he heard Wang Yan say.

"Nan Nan, pour water for brother."

"Oh! Good~"

Lin Nannan didn't care about playing, he obediently went to the coffee table and brought a large bottle of Coke for Jiang Yuman.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yu felt that he was about to be sent away by the prickly ash hidden in his belly.

After drinking a glass of Coke, the numb mouth felt a little better.

Jiang Yu was very hopeless and burst into tears, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Nanxi.

Lin Nanxi's ears were red. In order not to appear strange, when the peppercorns exploded on her taste buds, she took a deep breath and did not dare to breathe out.

"...Nanxi?"

Even so, mother Wang Yan also carefully noticed her daughter's abnormality.

I don't know if she is overthinking.

The moment Jiang Yu ate the chili just now, Jiang Yu and Lin Nanxi reacted at the same time.

Their movements and expressions are even the same.

A woman's sixth sense is a very powerful thing.

It's just that Wang Yan can't think of going so far away for the time being.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mom, I accidentally bit my tongue just now."

Lin Nanxi smiled lightly, then squeezed her thigh silently.

The touch was transmitted from her side to Jiang Yu's body, and Jiang Yu blinked at her guiltily.

Woohoo, Chinese New Year's Eve is about to be raped by Xixi.

Jiang Yu wailed happily in his heart.

"You have to get used to eating chili slowly, and you can't be brave."

Wang Yan stood up and replaced Jiang Yu's bowl of egg fried rice soaked in chili pepper water with a new one.

It is hard to imagine that Wang Yan, who usually lives frugally and never wastes food, actually poured the entire half of the bowl of rice into the trash can.

Jiang Yu looked at the refilled rice in front of him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"In the future, I'll get used to it if I come to my house to eat more often." Wang Yan said.

As she spoke, she put the hot meat and vegetables in the white pot into Jiang Yu's bowl.

"This white soup contains bone soup, which was brought back from Lin Nanxi's grandma's house. The dishes cooked in bone soup are very fragrant. You should eat more."

"...Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang Yu nodded vigorously, the food in the rice bowl was piled high.

His vision gradually became blurred, his eyes must have been red from being scorched just now.

Jiang Yu secretly looked at Lin Nanxi's expression, Lin Nanxi just smiled at him gently, and told Jiang Yu with his lips, "Eat more~"

In fact, before Jiang Yu came, he felt that he would not be able to integrate into their lives like he was at his grandmother's house.

It is said that the reunion dinner should be reunion. When Jiang Yu was at his grandmother's house, he would always feel that whether the family could be reunited or not was the same, so he always felt that he was superfluous. He buried his head in his meal stiffly, he couldn't find the meaning of sitting there other than eating.

However, in Lin Nanxi's place, Jiang Yu didn't feel restrained, but felt a sense of peace of mind.

This peace of mind does not come from the care of the elders.

But another... kind of like a sense of belonging?
Jiang Yu has never felt like this before.

……

This New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very late.

Because we are eating hot pot, the food will not get cold even if we eat it for two or three hours.

On the old TV, the young host of the Spring Festival Gala is introducing the next program.

Lin Nannan sat on the sofa and tried to open his eyelids. He said that he wanted to watch the year, but a five-year-old child simply didn't have the willpower to stay up late.

The little boy was still holding the toy in his hand, and with his head tilted, he had already fallen asleep.

Wang Yan found the remote control and reluctantly turned down the volume of the TV.

Lin Nanxi sat next to Jiang Yu, with a blanket on her back, her legs stepped on the bench, Lin Nanxi hugged her knees, her eyes reflected the fluorescent light from the TV, occasionally seeing funny pictures, she would Pursing his lips, he smiled softly.

The air is filled with the aroma of hot pot, which smells warm.

Jiang Yu was sitting and leaning on Lin Nanxi's body.

Lin Nanxi pushed him to sit upright.

"It's too late, I'll go back today." Jiang Yu whispered.

It was almost early in the morning, Jiang Yu couldn't stay here overnight, and he didn't want Lin Nanxi to sleep late because of his stay.

Lin Nanxi opened his bright and changing eyes and looked at Jiang Yu softly.

After a while, Lin Nanxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you down."

After bidding farewell to Wang Yan, Jiang Yu went downstairs with a bag full of kitchen waste.

There is a big trash can downstairs in the community, Jiang Yu threw the trash into it, and then clapped his hands.

He lowered his head and glanced at Lin Nanxi's white and tender hands, thought for a while, wiped his hands clean on his clothes, and then went to hold her.

"Leave me alone for a while." Jiang Yu said cheerfully.

When he was in the room just now, he felt sleepy, Jiang Yu even thought that he could sleep on the chair all night.

Now that he came downstairs, the cold air poured into his neck, and he became sober in an instant.

It's a pity that all he drank tonight was drinks, not alcohol, otherwise Jiang Yu would really want to sleep on the sofa with a shameless face.

"It's almost midnight..."

Lin Nanxi looked up at the sky.

The stars and the moon are not visible tonight, and the air is foggy.

Occasionally, a cannon sounded not far away, and farther away, the fireworks exploding in the sky were more dazzling than the stars.

"Well, it's almost there."

Jiang Yu didn't check the time either, but more and more fireworks rising told him that it should be close to twelve o'clock in the morning.

On the lunar calendar, this is the moment to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

"Happy New Year."

This is the only Happy New Year that Jiang Yu said to anyone except himself today, and he hid it all day.

"boom,!"

In the streets and alleys beside me, children running past one after another threw a firecracker casually.

"New...um!"

Lin Nanxi was just about to wish Jiang Yu a happy new year, but was scared by the sudden sound and slipped into Jiang Yu's arms.

Jiang Yu himself was not frightened, but he was frightened by the perception transmitted from Lin Nanxi.

They hugged each other in a strange posture, and the faint smell of hot pot on their bodies could even fuse them into one.

The sideways hug stayed for a moment, and the children running out of the streets saw this scene, and while shouting "Shame, shame, shame", they dropped the cannon and ran away.

Lin Nanxi let go of Jiang Yu embarrassingly, at this time the online car-hailing car that Jiang Yu called also arrived.

Originally, I thought it would be difficult to hail a car on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but who knew that the driver would rush to take such high-priced orders.

Jiang Yu secretly sighed that the car didn't come earlier when it should have. Every time he said goodbye to Lin Nanxi, he arrived on time.

"...I'm going back."

It's really not good for the driver to wait there, Jiang Yu reluctantly let go of Lin Nanxi's hand and opened the car door.

Lin Nanxi stood there quietly, watching him leave.

The fireworks in the old town resounded throughout the night sky at this moment, and brilliant colors rose and fell in the sky.

Just as Jiang Yu got into the car, he heard Lin Nanxi calling him.

"Jiang Yu..."

He looked back and saw the girl standing there for him under countless colorful milky ways.

Lin Nanxi clasped her hands, the brilliant fireworks behind her were not one-tenth as dazzling as hers.

Gentle voices came into Jiang Yu's ears. Jiang Yu looked at the girl standing in the colorful light, as if this moment was frozen.

she says.

"In the future, I will leave one of the lanterns for you."
