When the last fireworks were lit, Du Anran looked up at the starry sky. The fireworks bloomed before her eyes, colorful and dazzling.
When she occasionally lowered her head and looked straight ahead, she actually saw a familiar figure amidst the interweaving of white smoke and mist.
He was wearing a black coat with his hands in his pockets. His gaze was gentle as he looked ahead, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He did not move. He just stood in the midst of the fireworks that filled the sky. It was as if it was not real, but it was real.
Du Anran's hands that were clapping suddenly stopped. She had imagined his appearance in the fireworks a few times, and it had been destroyed a few times.
She could not believe her eyes. He really came?
The fireworks bloomed their last ray of life. In the dissipating night sky, the mist became thicker and thicker.
Du Anran clearly felt the old man beside her trembling. She was not mistaken. Xin Zimo had come... ...
When the smoke had completely dissipated, he walked toward her.
"ZIMO... " Du Anran muttered to herself. It was him. She was not mistaken.
He walked to her side and brushed her hair with his left hand. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "did you miss me? "
Du Anran's face turned red. Fortunately, no one else heard her. Just as she lowered her head, Xin zimo looked up at the old man beside Du Anran. He nodded at the old man.
The old man looked at him without blinking. His hand, which was holding the cane, was trembling. His eyes were full of tears and his lips were trembling. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he was speechless.
The old man looked at Xin Zimo like that. Although he was already a grandchild, Xin Zimo could still vaguely see traces of Yin Luoluo in his eyes. This was the first time he longed to see Yin Luoluo, more than ever.
Xin zimo looked very similar to his father. He owed his eldest son a lot, especially his father's love. But he could not make up for all of this... ...
When Xin Zimo and Du Anran stood together, he hoped that they could be happy, forever.
Du Anran saw the gentleness in Xin Zimo's eyes, and it was no longer the kind of ruthlessness that she had when she mentioned the old man, although there was still not much of a smile on his face. She quietly held his hand, and it turned out that his palm was still cold.
When her hand held his hand, Xin Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Tonight, he was glad that he came. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
When the New Year's bell rang, Xin zimo stood in front of the window with Du Anran in his arms, watching the sky full of fireworks. Du Anran was half-hidden in his arms. The familiar smell of his body remained in his nose. It was very warm and very happy.
He did not say that he would leave, so the old man chose the best room for them to stay in.
The light from the window shone on Du Anran's face, and Xin Zimo saw a lot of satisfaction. When she was not paying attention, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly Red Lips.
She slightly raised her Chin to cooperate with him. The more he was intoxicated, the deeper the kiss became.
After countless times of training, she had learned to respond to him. Her response made him even more unable to stop. He raised his hand, carried her horizontally, and walked to the bedside.
Tonight, after drinking the red wine that Chi Xue handed him, he felt hot and restless. At first, he thought that he had drunk too much wine that night and did not care. Later, on the way to Laidu Garden, he felt uncomfortable all over. Now, he finally understood.
When du Anran looked up, she happened to see his furrowed brows. She could not help but ask softly, "what's wrong? "
He lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes left a row of dense shadows. He whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "nothing. "
He did not think about anything else. In this sweet time, only he and Du Anran were allowed. He kissed her earlobe and neck... ...
Du Anran hugged him. As he got closer, she could smell the strong male scent mixed with a hint of tobacco on his body.
She did not know if it was because of the bottle of wine or because she was too happy. That night, he hugged her, kissed her, and wanted her again and again.
"Zimo... do you know? I was really afraid that you wouldn't come... " Du Anran pressed herself against his chest. Her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist. She was afraid that if she let go, the dream would disappear again ...
"How could I bear to let you lose... " Xin Zimo caressed her beautiful hair and smelled the fresh rosemary in her hair.
Early the next morning, Xin Zimo had someone bring new clothes to Du Anran. He also brought a piece for the old man.
Du Anran saw the joy and gratitude in the old man's eyes when he took the clothes. She suddenly felt that it was worth it for her to have the courage to threaten Xin Zimo once.
However, she did not dare to do so in the future.
Although there was no smile on Xin Zimo's face every time he looked at the old man, there was no indifference. Du Anran did not force him anymore. She was already satisfied.
The old man tried to talk to him. Although he always used "yes" or "I know" instead, Du Anran thought that this was a great reconciliation!
On the first day of the New Year, Xin Zimo stayed with Du Anran in Laidu Garden. There were a few times when his cell phone rang. Du Anran seemed to have heard Xin zimo's mother's voice.
She felt a little strange, so she asked Xin Zimo, "is that your mother? "
"Yes. She's at the Channel Villa with Chi Xue. "
Du Anran was slightly surprised. She did not expect Xin Zimo's mother to come to London, nor did she expect Xin Zimo to stay in laidu garden in such a situation.
"then she... urged you to go back? "
"I said to go back at night. "
"Oh... " Du Anran was nervous. Go back at night She would go back too In what capacity?
"Anran, you go back with me. " Although Xin Zimo tried his best to avoid meeting her mother, he thought that the family would always be together in the future. It was not a problem to hide.
"I'm not going... " Du Anran quickly declined. She had not seen Xin Zimo's mother for a long time. She was afraid that she would quarrel again when she saw her.
"Anran, you have to see her eventually. " Xin Zimo knew what she was worried about. "today is the New Year. My mother will not make things difficult for you. "
Du Anran lowered her head and did not make a decision. She rejected Xin Zimo just like how Xin Zimo rejected her. She could not face it at all.
Xin Zimo knew that she was in a difficult position, so he did not force her. "then you stay here and take good care of yourself. When my mother returns to the country, I will come and pick you up. "
Du Anran nodded. "Okay. "
She chose to escape. She was really afraid of quarreling with Xin zimo's mother. If that happened, the one who would be embarrassed would still be Xin Zimo.
At night, Du Anran sent Xin Zimo away. The old man also stood at the door with a cane. When Xin zimo's Maybach left the laidu garden, Du Anran lowered her head helplessly.
That night, Du Anran did not sleep well. She only fell asleep in a daze when it was almost midnight. Xin Zimo called her, but he quickly hung up after saying a few words.
She was asleep when she was woken up by the phone. She fumbled for her phone and thought it was a call from a friend in the country.
"Happy New Year... " She did not look at the screen and only said in a daze.
"I'M NOT HAPPY! " A sharp female voice broke the silence of the night.
Du Anran was more than half awake. She recognized the voice. It was Xiao Qingqing!
How long had it been since she saw Xiao Qingqing She knew that she had fallen and disappeared since Xin zimo abandoned her. It had been a few months since she last saw her at the elevator.
"You're looking for me? " Du Anran calmed down.
"It's such a good holiday, you two can live together in London, but I can only take care of a mentally ill patient who doesn't have a clear mind. Du Anran, do you think I'm balanced? " Xiao Qingqing's voice was sharp, as if she had a great grievance.
"Why are you telling me this? " Du Anran frowned, she did not know what she was talking about.
"Du Anran, I just want to tell you, do you think that just because Xin Zimo returned to your side, you think that it's a new year, that everything is over? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! I'm not happy, and I won't allow YOU TO BE HAPPY! "
"You've said this many times already. " Du Anran's face was calm.
"since it's new year, I'll tell you too. I'll give you a big surprise. You'd better be prepared. "
Du Anran was shocked. She knew that Xiao Qingqing, who had nowhere else to go, would really do anything.
"What are you going to do? "
Xiao Qingqing laughed a few times on the other end of the phone. "Won't you find out when you wait? "
Without waiting for du Anran to speak, Xiao Qingqing laughed dryly and hung up the phone. Not only did du Anran hear Xiao Qingqing's voice on the phone, but she also heard the faint wailing sounds coming from behind Xiao Qingqing. These two sounds were particularly creepy in the quiet night.
Du Anran put down the phone and felt uneasy. She wanted to call Xin Zimo several times, but in the end, she gave up.
She could not sleep for the whole night. She could not guess what Xiao Qingqing was going to do.
She remembered that when she first met Xiao Qingqing, Xiao Qingqing was still a girl of the same age as her. She was pure, generous, and did not know much about the world. Du Anran used to treat her as her good sister and talked about almost everything. But even so, Xiao Qingqing brought countless people to her side, but she still did not feel anything.
It was no wonder that Xin Zimo called her stupid. She did not even know to investigate the confidant who surrounded her night and night.
Xiao Qingqing, did she hate her so much just because of Xin Zimo?
Something something something something something something something something something something, something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something.
Xin Zimo's phone call came at nine o'clock in the morning. At that time, she stood at the window in a daze and was still in a mess because of Xiao Qingqing's phone call.
"Are you awake? " Xin Zimo, who was on the other end of the phone, smiled.
"I'm already awake. Do you think I'm a lazy pig... " Du Anran heard his voice and finally let go of Xiao Qingqing's matter.
"Then come down and open the door for me in ten minutes, " Xin Zimo said as he drove.
Du Anran was stunned. "Why are you here? "
"Not Willing? "
"No way... " Du Anran smiled. She pulled open the curtains. The Sun was just right outside the window. She opened the door and walked downstairs.
"I have a New Year's gift for you. "
"Let me guess what it is... a necklace? Perfume? Handbag? Bank card? "
Xin Zimo, who was driving the car, smiled. "It's said that those who get close to the vermilion bird will have a bad taste in the ink. You've been with me for so long, and your taste is still so vulgar? "
