Chapter 66: His Gift
Chinese New Year's Eve arrives in anticipation.
When Xiao Beihan arrived at Gu's house, he brought a gift to Li's mother alone, and Gu Manman didn't think there was anything wrong.
However, Li's mother was a little embarrassed, and she received several gifts from several children in one night, and there was no way to return them. We can only prepare a lot of dishes according to everyone's taste.
Winter is dark early, and people in City A have already started to set off fireworks. Brilliant fireworks streaked across the sky, leaving only a faint tail, a flash of light, and then vanished.
The Gu family was full of laughter, and Mama Li was wearing a bright red down vest, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a flower.
It is rare to open a bottle of red wine, take a few sips, and the atmosphere is already warm.
Xiao Beihan is no longer cold, and in front of Mama Li, he can also talk freely. Gu Nansheng was no longer as indifferent as usual, and his tone was light.
Anne was originally playful, but under her leadership, several people became more and more active. A meal begins and ends in laughter.
After being lonely for five years, he suddenly felt like he had his family by his side, which made Gu Manman very excited.
Li's mother only left Chen Chen to help in the kitchen, and drove the others to the living room.
Young people have their own world, and she understands this! I don't want to trap the children around me, so I should leave more space for them.
Wrapping a big red scarf around and putting on a coat, Gu Manman took Xiao Beihan's hand and walked out of the gate of Gu's house.
Because I drank alcohol, it was not convenient to drive. The two of them walked slowly along the wide road.
The hot air quickly condensed into small clouds in the cold air, and no one spoke, and time seemed to slow down.
"Is it your first time celebrating the Spring Festival?" Gathered the scarf, Gu Man's crisp voice came.
Xiao Beihan thought for a while, as if he was recalling something, "No." ”
"Huh? Have you ever been to China? He turned his head sideways to look at the person next to him, with a faint doubt.
"I've been here." Nodding, his voice was a little long and seductive.
"When?" His eyes were wide open, shining as bright as stars against the backdrop of the flickering fireworks.
"It was very young." He looked down at the person beside him, and his smile was full of tenderness.
Knowing that there is no point in asking this question again, and I am no longer curious.
The incandescent lamps on both sides of the road gave off a faint glow, and the low bushes did not look bleak on this cold but festive winter night.
The Gu family villa is not remote, and in a short period of time, the two have walked to the riverside not far from home.
There are a lot of people coming and going, there are families, and there are also couples. Dressed thick and cute, little children shuttle next to their families and laugh crisply. Couples kissed each other or snuggled up to each other, and the cold wind blowing from the river did not dampen people's enthusiasm.
There are older children setting off fireworks under the bridge. One by one, beautiful flowers bloom in the night sky.
The wind blew her long hair behind her ears, and her face was a little pitiful in the night.
Xiao Beihan stretched out his arm and took her in his arms, the cold wind was blocked out, and warmth came from his body.
Some frozen hands reached into the pocket of Xiao Beihan's coat, but they touched a rectangular box.
Sensing her movements, Xiao Beihan just smiled faintly, this was originally intended for her.
His left hand reached into his coat pocket and grabbed Gu Manman's hand, and took the box out.
The purple ribbon wrapped the box tightly, with a romantic atmosphere, and glanced at Xiao Beihan with some doubts. saw that he let go of Gu Manman and opened the box.
A white gold bracelet lies quietly in a velvet box cushion, light blue masonry is inlaid on the bracelet, and in front of the bracelet there is a heart-shaped hollow pendant that interlocks and interlocks, and there is a faint light refracted in the flickering fireworks.
The bony hand took out the thin bracelet from the box, raised Gu Manman's wrist, and with full of pampering and tenderness in his eyes, he carefully buckled it.
seemed to be a little stunned, allowing Xiao Beihan to clasp her wrist, but his gaze stayed on the side of his face.
The cold face of the past was full of tenderness, and the deep eyes were shining.
The bracelet was already fastened, but the cold touch on the wrist couldn't stop the warmth in my heart.
Xiao Beihan raised his head, hooked the corners of his lips, and stroked the long hair that had been blown by the wind in Gu Manman's ears, "What are you still thinking?" ”
"I didn't even have a gift for you!" The tone was bottom-notch, a little frustrated.
He smiled and took her in his arms, a magnetic voice ringing in his ears. "Fool, you are the best gift!"
Full of sweetness overflowed his chest, and the cold river breeze was blocked by Xiao Beihan. The tip of his nose was slightly sour, and his eyes seemed to have something about to overflow.
Touching the bracelet with her left hand, just touching the pendant, Xiao Beihan smiled indulgently and stuffed her hand into his coat pocket.
In the distance, there were children holding rice flowers, and laughter came, which hit Gu Manman's heart.
Xiao Beihan was kind to her, but she was a little uncomfortable.
In her consciousness, she has always been good to Lin Haonan, she must also like what he likes, and she remembers what he eats and wears.
Lin Haonan has never studied her preferences, and he has never come to comfort her when Ling Xiaoxiao's incident happened.
But when he smiled at her occasionally, she could be happy for a long time.
She thought that it was love, she could give everything for him, she could accept that he had always liked Ye Chuxuan, and she could accept the fact that he didn't like her.
She thought that as long as she married him, Lin Haonan would be hers, and no one would come to rob her.
How arrogant she was, but she fell into the hands of Lin Haonan.
And she thinks that is all feelings, if it is so sad, it is better not to. Until I met Xiao Beihan......
He would comfort her, he would joke with her, he would take her to the welfare home.
He would turn off her job when she was in a bad mood to get acquainted with City A, would take her to his undersea restaurant, and would tell her about his company's development plans. will deliberately remember her favorite dishes and will put them in the bowl for her.
will see Lin Haonan get angry when he proposes to her, but he says it's none of her business. Will give her a New Year's gift, will surprise her. The cold weather will hold her hand in his hand, and will hold her in his arms to block all the wind.
He never said he loved her, but he would say that she was his gift. will say that he will be there in the future.
He didn't have a lot of flashy promises, but he was really standing by her side. His eyes were getting blurred, but the thoughts in his heart were still lingering.
Probably that's love! She thought.
Perhaps she misunderstood the definition of love in the first place. Then, she should cherish the present.
Sensing the change in the mood of the person in his arms, Xiao Beihan, who lowered his head, saw someone with pear blossoms and rain in his arms.
Warm fingers touched her face, wiping away salty tears, and a gentle voice came from overhead, "Fool! ”
