After I picked up the villain, I became popular

Chapter 199 The First Gift

The place to walk is still by the river.

Each area of ​​City A is separated by two rivers, and along the river is a scenic belt. Usually, many people will walk on the sidewalks or parks by the river.

Today is no exception.

But Ling Yao didn't expect that there would be so many people today.

It's too cold tomorrow, and it's New Year's Eve again.

She thought that there must not be many people by the river today.

When the wheelchair approached, Ling Yao hurriedly put on the mask.

Fu Jingyan's physique is not as good as Ling Yao's, and the mask was put on from the beginning.

"I didn't expect so many people here."

"There may be some activity." Fu Jingyan replied.

"can you?"

Ling Yao didn't plan to turn back halfway.

Go straight ahead.

She was looking for someone to inquire about, when she heard a child talking.

"Mom, why haven't you popped out yet?"

The child had a childish voice, and opened his little arms when he said the two onomatopoeias.

Ling Yao didn't need to think about it, what Wa'er was talking about was fireworks.

She turned her head to look at the small island in the river, but it was a pity that there were trees all around and she couldn't see anything.

This river is wider than the previous one, and there is a shuttle-shaped island in the middle of the river, which is also a scenic spot in City A.

If you want to go there, you have to take a boat.

The Chinese New Year is special, the island has been closed long ago.

"Wait a while, it will appear at twelve o'clock." The child's mother replied after wiping the biscuit crumbs from the child's mouth.

Fireworks are strictly prohibited in cities now, and there is only one fireworks festival a year.

Ling Yao glanced at the phone.

It is now eleven forty.

"Shall we stay and take a look?"

"As you wish." Fu Jingyan glanced at Ling Yao's skirt, "If you're not afraid of the cold."

After understanding what the other party meant, Ling Yao couldn't help but smiled, "I think you have the potential to be an old mother."

How many times has Ling Yao emphasized that she is not cold at all.

But Fu Jingyan just felt that she was wearing too thin.

Although the objective facts are like this, it always reminds Ling Yao of jokes on the Internet.

"What do you mean?" Fu Jingyan was obviously not aware of these jokes on the Internet.

"It's just..." Ling Yao thought for a while, "It's just a kind of coldness, it's called your mother thinks you're cold..."

Fu Jingyan didn't know much about it.

Ling Yao didn't explain any more, and pointed to the cotton candy stand surrounded by a group of children, "Do you want one?"

"Do you want to eat?" Fu Jingyan asked without answering.

"Forget it." Ling Yao said, "There are more people here."

Although she is not a famous artist, nor is she very well-known, but what if?
What if someone recognized him?
"Eat when there are few people?"

"What are you asking this for?" Ling Yao raised her eyebrows.

"A casual question."

"I should be able to eat it." Ling Yao nodded, "I haven't eaten marshmallows yet, but sweet things can make people feel better, I like it very much."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyan responded, and really asked casually.

There are many people who come out to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve, but the place by the river is spacious and there is no crowding.

Ling Yao pushed Fu Jingyan through the crowd, occasionally talking.

As soon as 12:00 arrived, there was indeed a flame rising into the sky, as if with the determination to illuminate the entire night sky.

The place where the fireworks were set off was on the small island in the river. After a while, with the sound of crackling, the night sky was full of blooming flowers of various colors and shapes.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of telling the time and congratulating the New Year from many squares.

"It's quite beautiful." Ling Yao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

She was already standing beside Fu Jingyan, not behind him.

Of course, Ling Yao's hand did not forget to hold the wheelchair.

She kept looking up at the fireworks, but she didn't notice that Fu Jingyan looked up at the fireworks at first, and basically kept looking at Ling Yao.

Let alone Ling Yao, maybe Fu Jingyan himself didn't notice.

The fireworks are gorgeous for a moment, and after 10 minutes, the fireworks stop.

Many people are saying "Happy New Year" to each other.

Ling Yao came back to her senses, and congratulated her, "Fu Jingyan, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Fu Jingyan was stunned for a moment and quickly realized.

Just then, a girl who was selling a large basket of roses came over.

"Brother, do you want to buy some flowers for this young lady? Besides, this is the first bouquet of flowers and the first gift of the new year!"

Ling Yao was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that the girl was calling Brother Fu Jingyan.

She was just about to refute, but Fu Jingyan was scanning the QR code unexpectedly.

"Then buy them all..." Fu Jingyan said lightly.

Ling Yao quickly patted Fu Jingyan on the shoulder.

"You still bought them all. Do you think you are a domineering president? You can just buy one flower."

Ling Yao felt that Fu Jingyan was just taking care of the girl's business.

I didn't think much of it.

"I think my little brother looks like a domineering president." The flower seller said sincerely.

She didn't look at Fu Jingyan's legs from the beginning to the end, she seemed quite smart.

Ling Yao laughed, and then said, "He just looks like it."

Fu Jingyan didn't say a word, but only silently paid for a flower.

"Sister, do you want to buy one for this little brother too? It's very romantic for a boyfriend and girlfriend to give each other the first gift!"

"Then take two flowers." Fu Jingyan skillfully paid for another flower.

"Boyfriend and boyfriend?" Ling Yao frowned puzzled, "Why do you think we are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The girl selling flowers was about to leave, when she heard Ling Yao's question, she couldn't help laughing, her face was full of determination:

"Now is not the future, right? I remember a poem that said, you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs..."

After the girl finished speaking, she smiled sweetly and winked at Ling Yao, then walked away with the basket.

In fact, she had noticed this "special couple" just now. If Fu Jingyan hadn't been looking sideways at Ling Yao just now, she wouldn't have been able to be sure that the two might be a couple.

After all, Fu Jingyan is different from ordinary people...

Ling Yao and the two of them don't know what girls think.

After the other party left, neither of them responded.

There happened to be a university nearby, and there were a lot of young people here, and the girl's business was quite good.

Ling Yao only came to her senses when she heard the cry of "the first gift of the New Year" again.

He lowered his head just in time to meet Fu Jingyan's gaze.

"What... what did she say just now? What does it mean?"

Ling Yao didn't understand what that meant, and the other party's voice was not loud, and the surroundings were quite noisy.

"It's nothing." Fu Jingyan shook his head, then turned back.

"Here, take it."

He handed over a rose without looking back.

"Really send me?" Ling Yao was a little surprised.

She thought that Fu Jingyan just did it casually.

"Smoothly." Fu Jingyan said, "And she was right, the first gift of the new year."

"OK then."

Ling Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.

So the two of them went back with a rose each.

There happened to be an empty vase at home, so Ling Yao cut off the stems of the two roses and put them in the vase.

The vase is placed on the fantasy shoe cabinet, which can be seen when entering and exiting.

----

Early the next morning, Ling Yao was woken up by a phone call from Shen Xue.

Maybe it was because she was too worried that Ling Yao would play out of common sense, so she suddenly stopped going to Wang Qiu's place.

So Shen Xue had a pretty good attitude when she called.

Ling Yao hummed and hung up the phone directly.

After washing up, Ling Yao still didn't forget to send a message to ask Chi Ming if everything was done.

The other party has not responded to the message for a long time, probably because he has not woken up yet.

Because she had to rush to Shen's house in the morning, Ling Yao did not go for a morning jog today for the first time.

She went out to buy breakfast and came back.

Before going out, he left a note for Fu Jingyan.

When Ling Yao arrived at Banshan Villa (where Shen Dongcheng lived), Shen Dongcheng and the others were already moving things into the car.

Only Shen Dongcheng and his wife, Ling Yao and Shen Xu went this time.

Shen Xue stood at the door and watched.

"My sister is finally here." Shen Xue smiled all over her face, "I thought you suddenly regretted it and didn't want to see grandma."

"Although grandma misunderstood my sister a bit, she is still my grandma..."

"Xiaoxue!" Zhou Huiqin looked at her daughter dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? Yaoyao still needs you to tell me?"

After finishing speaking, she sang bad face in front of Ling Yao, "Yaoyao don't care about Xiaoxue, she just likes to talk."

Ling Yao didn't say anything.

Shen Xue curled her lips. She stood here just now to make Ling Yao unhappy, but she didn't expect that she didn't care at all?
"I don't know if the annual banquet at Brother Mu Sheng's house is very lively, I'm still a little worried that I might do something wrong..." Shen Xue pretended to be distressed.

"Don't worry." Zhou Huiqin comforted her.

Shen Xue looked at Ling Yao, "My sister has been to the annual banquet at Brother Mu Sheng's house, so she should know some rules, right?"

"I have been going every year since I was a child. To me, it is just an ordinary banquet. If you still lose face at an ordinary banquet, I think you should learn etiquette again."

Ling Yao's words made Shen Xue's face instantly stiff.

"Get in the car soon, ready to go." Shen Dongcheng shouted in front of the car door not far away.

"Yaoyao, let's go."

Zhou Huiqin could tell that Ling Yao was eloquent now, and Shen Xue couldn't please her at all!
Before leaving, Ling Yao turned around and said, "What is the most taboo thing about the New Year's banquet of the Mu family..."

"It's probably like you in some film and television dramas, like a countryman entering the city."

She laughed mockingly, and stomped Shen Xue angrily.

Country folks going to town? ? ?
Ling Yao is the one! !

This is one of Shen Xue's most unheard words.

Back when Zhou Huiqin had just married Shen Dongcheng, Shen Xue wanted to integrate into the circle of those rich ladies, but someone deliberately targeted her, saying that she was ignorant and like a bumpkin!
Shen Xue didn't know how long she remembered this!

After all, she still has an inferiority complex in her bones.

Sitting in the car, Ling Yao couldn't help laughing when she saw Shen Xue's angry expression.

It has to be said that Shen Dongcheng's family has added a lot of fun to his ordinary life.

"Auntie, Shen Xue gets angry too easily. It's not good for her health. It's best to take her to the hospital for a check-up some other day."

Isn't this turning a corner and saying that her daughter is sick?

Zhou Huiqin turned her head from the passenger seat, gritted her teeth and responded, "Thank you, Yaoyao, for reminding me!"

Shen Dongcheng looked back at the back of the car, and then said dissatisfiedly to Zhou Huiqin, "What are you still dawdling about? Fasten your seat belt."

"it is good."

Zhou Huiqin hurriedly put on her seat belt.

On the road, several people were very quiet.

Shen Dongcheng and Zhou Huiqin chatted occasionally, and Shen Xu and Ling Yao were playing with their phones all the time.

"I'm going to grandma's house soon, Xiao Xu should be very happy, right? Your grandma has been thinking about you for a long time. After sending you abroad, your grandma still blames us."

"Yes." Shen Dongcheng smiled, "The old man can't see the junior walking too far, and is worried about accidents."

"Of course I'm happy." Shen Xu said, "I miss grandma too...Sister Ling Yao, you too, right?"

Ling Yao glanced at him, but didn't say a word.

Obviously don't buy it.

Shen Xu wasn't angry either, his psychological quality was much better than Shen Xue's.

"Mom, haven't you been talking about grandma's health? You should also want to see grandma, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Huiqin nodded, "After all, we haven't seen each other for several months."

"I also specially found a few recipes of nutritious soup for your grandma, and then I will tell the nanny at home to stew it for your grandma."

When Shen Dongcheng heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "You have a heart."

"Mom will be very happy."

Zhou Huiqin smiled and said nothing.

It could not be because of her that Wang Qiu was happy, it could only be because of Shen Xu.

No matter how much he waited on her, Wang Qiu would only treat her honestly.

Fortunately, Shen Dongcheng still remembers his own good.

"Yaoyao, since you are not always abroad like Xiao Xu, you should go back and see grandma more often. Grandma is getting older now, and her body is not as strong as before..."

Zhou Huiqin suddenly cue to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao raised her eyes, "Grandma doesn't necessarily want to see me. I can't do anything well, but Auntie will please Grandma. If Auntie doesn't make a few scenes, she can come to accompany Grandma from time to time. Grandma will definitely be happy."

"Besides, if my aunt runs here, my younger siblings will come here often. I can kill two birds with one stone, and grandma will be happier."

Zhou Huiqin's face darkened, "Yaoyao was joking, Auntie is not yet old enough to retire, she must be busy with work..."

"Auntie thinks that my father can't support you?" Ling Yao once again possessed her.

"no……"

Zhou Huiqin quickly shook her head, "It's just that people still have to work..."

Ling Yao replied, "That's it. Auntie has to work, and I have to go to school. Did Auntie forget that I'm already in my third year of high school?"

"This—" Zhou Huiqin was speechless for a while.

"Okay." Shen Dongcheng interrupted the two of them, "No matter who you are, you can come here occasionally when you are free."

"I listen to my husband." Zhou Huiqin replied gently.

Ling Yao didn't make another sound.

The car quickly entered the village.

Originally, the road to the village was very rough, full of potholes.

Wang Qiu had the cheek to ask Ling Yalan for a few words, plus Shen Dongcheng's kind words, Ling Yalan invested two-thirds of the money to help the village repair the road.

Ling Yao glanced at the "Monument of Merit and Virtue" when she entered the village, and Shen Dongcheng's name was ranked first on it!
This made Ling Yao very unhappy.
