Tender as wild

There are also some paintings wrapped in paper tubes, with her little secret written on the back.

Fang Ye was a very polite person, and it was impossible for him to open those paper tubes and peek into her privacy.

But she still couldn't help but feel guilty. This emotion surfaced and turned into a blush.

She covered her cheeks with her cold fingers. After the residual heat dissipated, she quickly shouted: "Brother, I'm fine, I can go."

Fang Ye looked back and naturally stretched out a hand to take the paper bag in her hand. There were only two pieces of clothes and a few small things in it, "Is this all you take with you?"

"Well, it's enough for a few days." Bai Li said and walked to the sofa to get her coat. When she first entered the door, she took off her coat out of habit, and then she felt that it was very cold in the room.

She frowned, "Is the heater broken?"

She is from the south and doesn't know how to use heating.

When I opened WeChat, I found out that the landlord had sent a voice message saying that the heater was broken. Most of the tenants in this apartment were out-of-towners and there were few people living there during the Chinese New Year. They had already reported it and it would take a few days to fix it.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Baili replied, "I understand."

Fang Ye glanced at the cramped environment, looked at Bai Li across a square table, and said in a calm voice: "Pack away all your clothes, we will celebrate the New Year together this year."

Bai Li was stunned.

Seeing her hesitation, Fang Ye seemed to be asking for her permission: "Are you willing? It doesn't matter if you have your own arrangements."

Baili took a small deep breath.

Since the separation when I was five years old.

Neither of them spent the New Year together.

She is also looking forward to it.

Moreover, Fang Ye also celebrated the New Year alone. Objectively speaking, she was Fang Ye's family, and it seemed normal to celebrate the New Year together.

So he nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I am willing."

……

Bai Li moved into the penthouse apartment after agreeing to spend the New Year with Fang Ye.

They are both apartments, but they are very different from the place she rented. In terms of design, they are light-colored and simple with high air conditioning. Both rooms are spacious master bedrooms, which can be as big as the two rooms Baili lives in. The layout In terms of appearance, every piece of furniture is arranged very reasonably, and the solid wood floors are always the smoothest and cleanest.

There are just not many traces of life.

Fang Ye does not stay at home very often. It seems that after she moved in, she was often the only one living in the house.

She is busy painting every day.

The painting club opened a new call for submissions at the end of the year, and she was very busy and happy.

The north wind has howled several times, and the New Year is coming soon.

Baili bought a lot of festive pendants online for decoration.

Fang Ye also began to have some leisure time, but he still frequently used the computer and talked to people.

When you are too busy to take a break.

Baili will take out a novel decoration, such as a beautiful small lantern, a beautiful three-dimensional blessing character, and display it one by one, and ask Fang Ye if it looks good and where to hang it?

Her intention was too obvious, which was to let Fang Ye rest.

Fang Ye guessed what she wanted to do after a few times.

But he didn't look angry at all after being interrupted from work.

He would just put down the phone, carefully observe the red decoration on her hand, come to a good-looking conclusion, and discuss with her where to hang it without any fuss.

then.

When the New Year arrives, the whole house is filled with the joy of the New Year. Although it does not match the style of the interior decoration, it feels particularly "home".

In these days of high-rise buildings in the community, it is very normal for people to not recognize the door to the door opposite.

It's not like the big courtyard in my childhood. As the New Year approaches, every household is hurriedly drying out quilts and frying snacks.

Occasionally, a child would pass by. No matter whose family it was, whether it was naughty or not, the adults would stuff the newly fried dumplings filled with peanuts and sugar into the child's mouth.

Baili took Fang Ye to the supermarket early in the morning.

The supermarket is also decorated with joy, and auspicious New Year songs can be heard in every corner.

[Whenever the New Year comes, the first thing everyone says when they meet is congratulations. 】

[Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. 】

Baili stuffed a lot of traditional New Year's goods into the shopping cart, including melon seeds, snacks, pistachios, drinks, biscuits, and candies, and looked at the large Wangwang snack gift pack on the shelf.

When I was young, my companions would always have such big gift bags. They might not be of the same brand, but they still contained many snacks that could not be eaten at once.

Her uncle, a soldier, once bought them for her and her brother. His brother put the most delicious biscuits in her bag.

Seeing something like this now, she felt a little nostalgic for the beginning.

Since leaving the military compound, no one has bought this for her.

Want to reach out and get it.

But put it down again.

It's not a matter of price.

Now Fang Ye no longer likes snacks, and she has bought enough things that they are almost overflowing from the shopping cart. If she buys another big gift bag, she thinks it may be difficult to finish them all.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally retracted her hand that was about to move.

Fang Ye pushed the cart and followed her.

When she looked back after shopping around, she suddenly found a red bag of snacks in the shopping cart.

And Fang Ye was standing next to the shelf, his hand on the handle of the cart, his long legs straight, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked at her, his gentle eyebrows full of soft smiles.

Baili also smiled.

Ever since she moved into the Su family, she had never looked forward to the Spring Festival. She spent it like this every year, receiving a red envelope, trying to please the Su family with a forced smile, and then sitting alone in a deserted room, watching other people's joy.

But at this moment, she was particularly looking forward to the arrival of the New Year.

Even though I was just watching the Spring Festival Gala with Fang Ye holding snacks.

It seems like everything will become interesting.

……

Year twenty-nine.

Bai Li got up early in the morning. Fang Ye went out for something. She cleaned every corner of the house and went to the bank to exchange a thousand yuan in cash.

By the afternoon.

He Suisui suddenly called her. .

On the phone, she said very angrily: "My mother and I met your mother outside today. She took your stepsister and bought a lot of things. She also told my mother overtly and secretly how ignorant you were. Running away from home or something like that makes me mad as hell.”

She knew that her friend had a reorganized family, and she also knew about her friend's situation at home, but today she was a little shocked. She didn't understand why someone would treat their biological daughter so badly, and then give maternal love to an outsider with no blood relationship.

Hearing this, Bai Li pursed her lips and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the city's scenery.

After a long while, he said: "It doesn't matter, I really didn't listen to her, let her speak."

He Suisui's voice sounded a little depressed for no reason, as if he had realized what day it was, and said apologetically: "Lizi, I'm just too angry. Don't be sad. I shouldn't say this at this time."

Bai Li smiled, her apricot eyes as gentle as the evening breeze in April, "I'm not sad. How she is has nothing to do with me."
