Chapter 360 New Year's Day (1)

On New Year's Day, the morning wind seemed to be particularly fresh, and Lin Mi smelled a scent of flowers early in the morning.The scent of this flower is very familiar, and it smells like the winter plum in my garden.

The scent of flowers is very close, so close at hand. At first, she thought it was a dream, but when she opened her sleepy eyes, she realized that there was really a bouquet of flowers like this placed beside the bed.

She put on her clothes, carefully held the bouquet of wintersweet flowers in her hands, and looked around for a vessel that could be used for flower arrangement.

While searching, when she heard the door knock, Li Yan stood at the door and smiled at her.

"Miss, do you like this flower?"

She sniffed the flowers deeply, and asked softly, "Where did you pick them? There don't seem to be such good flowers on the roadside."

"I was working in the inn a few days ago, and a guy said that there are wintersweet flowers at home, and they are blooming very well. I asked him to bring some. I brought them back last night and kept them in the water."

As Li Yan said, he glanced wittily at the door -- he was relieved to find that no one else was present.

"Miss, are we really going to the street today?" He asked in a low voice.

"Well, I told my father that the two of us will go together."

After Lin Mi finished speaking, he pulled his sleeves and walked out, "Go early, come back early, we can't delay."

Li Yan understood.He simply packed up his things and led Lin Mi out of the courtyard.

And Mr. Lin took Lin Yitang out early in the morning, not knowing what important business he was going to do.

When Caiwei and Jianhua got up to wash up, it was only seven o'clock, and the room opposite was already empty.The two of them had no other place to go, so they tidied up the room and cleaned it.

Lin Mi intentionally led Li Yan to the direction of the street where Qilan lived.

Along the way, the sun generously sprinkled the dusty road with golden light.Li Yan followed her every step of the way, seeing the Lin house from afar, both of them stopped at the same time.

Li Yan was afraid that she would be sentimental and sad, so he hurriedly distracted her.He patted a purse that he brought with him, which contained a lot of change.

"Miss, if you want to buy something delicious and fun today, just tell me."

"Okay, I really want to buy something."

Lin Mi tugged at his sleeves, just like in those days, when he went to a stationery shop.

Li Yan looked at the shop's sign and wondered: Is Miss going to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones?
Lin Mi is indeed a little different from before.

She used to go to the street with him, either to buy all kinds of beautiful trinkets, or to taste all kinds of delicious snacks, and then bring a lot of them in the car to eat slowly.

This time, she only chose some paper and pens, as well as ink and inkstone.

She seemed to only want this stationery, so she asked the clerk at the counter to wrap it up and hold it on her body.

Li Yan hoped that she could buy more other things, because she was afraid that she would not be willing to spend money.So according to her habit, he took a small mirror for dressing, a small sachet, hairpins, etc. from the nearby shop, and stuffed them to her when Lin Mi came out.

"Thank you for the gift, but it's really enough, don't waste any more money."

Lin Mi took the things he gave, and chatted with him about his recent confusion.

"I really want to know, did my mother leave the capital? Every time I ask my father, he refuses to talk to me about this topic."

The corners of Li Yan's mouth slightly pursed.Mrs. Lin's whereabouts became a mystery for a long time after the Lin family's accident.

After chatting with Mr. Lin several times, they agreed that she might have returned to her hometown, so they wanted to buy a ticket early and go south to find her whereabouts.

However, the most recent time, one evening after he got off work in the inn, he passed by a tailor shop that he had accompanied Mrs. Lin many times, and he glanced habitually, and unexpectedly bumped into a familiar figure from behind.

Not only was that woman's figure and manner extremely similar to Mrs. Lin's, but even the shawl, cheongsam, and purse she wore were the same.

He thought he was delusional and was hallucinating, and was about to step forward to identify it carefully, but he heard a barking of dogs mixed with curses behind him.

It turned out that he was looking over there and accidentally stepped on a foreigner's dog.

The dog was also dressed as a lady, with curly hair and a necklace. Its tail was stepped on, and it was trembling.Naturally, the dog owner and servant were so angry that they wanted to settle the score.

Li Yan didn't want to cause trouble, so he ran away, and he ran fast enough, and the turmoil was pinched out in time.

In the future, when he was free, he would pay attention to that tailor shop, and also asked the boss and apprentices inside.

But they said that there were too many people, so they couldn't remember the specific appearance of a woman. Besides, there were too many women wearing similar clothes, so they couldn't go all over the street to take a closer look.

However, he has his own judgment in his heart. He has been with her day and night for many years. How can a guard not distinguish the mistress?

Mrs. Lin's whereabouts have really become a secret.

Li Yan didn't dare to mention a word to Mr. Lin, fearing that the blood he vomited so hard to stop would recur again.He didn't even dare to tell Lin Mi the truth, for fear that she would go to the street to look for her mother on the spur of the moment, and it would be bad if she fell into the net of the bad guys.

New Year's Day is finally here.There were people everywhere on the street, and as it was approaching noon, Li Yan insisted on asking Lin Mi to go home together.

"I, I want to go to another place."

Lin Mi refused, her big eyes seemed to be pleading, he had to agree.

Qilan woke up late, and when she opened her eyes, the sun had heated the quilt on her body.

Chen Xing just came out of Xingyuan's room. When he saw him, they smiled awkwardly at each other.

"I was scolded when I kindly went to deliver food early this morning. It seems that the new year is going to be bad."

Chen Xing said whatever he had, with a feeling of aggrieved expression on his face.

"Don't take it to heart, I will deliver it next time. Miss Chris also said that you are very kind and kind."

Qilan comforted him, finally he was not so sad.

Qijiang was originally practicing boxing against the wall in the yard, but after hearing what they said, he turned around and walked over:
"Xiao Chen is broad-minded and doesn't care about people who are bedridden."

"As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, why don't you call him 'Chen Sleeping'? I was too angry to talk, and he complained that the porridge for breakfast was so bad."

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he looked at the south-facing room on the west side, "Today is a rare good weather, but it's a pity that Miss Lin didn't come, why don't we make delicious food together, the fish and vegetables I brought last time There is still better meat, she should like it."

Just as he was talking, he saw Qilan suddenly opened the courtyard door and ran out in such a swift manner that even Qijiang couldn't keep up.

"Third brother, where are you going in a hurry?"

Qilan turned around while running, "Second brother, you go back, I want to come out alone to get some air."

Qijiang was not willing to leave alone, he pretended to run back a few times, and when he was not paying attention, he appeared from the corner of the street where he was hiding and followed.
