Su lanxu’s hand, which was holding the utensils, paused. She looked up at her and didn’t say anything.
Xu Youyou sighed softly. &Quot; I know my brother used to be a jerk, but he really likes you now. That night, when he returned to LAN Huo, he didn’t say anything. He just kept drinking until he passed out. He kept calling your name. I’ve never seen him like this.”
“You really can’t turn back?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.” She pursed her lips and avoided Xu Youyou’s eyes. Her attitude was already very clear.
Xu Youyou’s disappointment was written in her eyes, but she was not angry. &Quot; you don’t have to apologize. I know. It’s just that he’s my brother and I don’t want to see him so sad. &Quot;
Su lanxu raised her eyes and asked,”How has he been recently?”
“Ever since that night, he’s become a completely different person. He’s gloomy, doesn’t like to talk, and is always in a daze. Even when my parents scold him, he doesn’t say a word. They even asked me in private if my brother is possessed. My mom also wanted to go to the temple to ask for an evil-expelling talisman for him.”
Xu Youyou thought of her mother’s words and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Su lanxu felt bad when she heard that. She had never thought of hurting Xu Jialu like that.
She just wanted Xu Jialu to realize that it was impossible between them.
“Lan lan, don’t worry. My brother is a man, he’ll be fine.” Xu Youyou saw that she was also unhappy and comforted her. &Quot; he’ll be fine after a long time. &Quot;
Su lanxu chuckled and replied,”yeah.”
Xu Youyou changed the topic. &Quot; are you still going overseas for the new year? ”
Su lanxu didn’t want her to worry, so she told a white lie. &Quot; it was hard to book a plane ticket, so I had to get one for the last day. &Quot;
......
It was the 30th of the new year.
Su lanxu only woke up in the afternoon. She took out the food that the lady had prepared in advance from the refrigerator, heated it up, and ate it.
In the afternoon, she watched a movie at home and chatted with her colleagues and friends on WeChat.
In the evening, the sound of fireworks could be heard from time to time outside the window. Su lanxu didn’t feel too hungry, so she cooked a few dumplings to eat. It could be considered the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In the WeChat group, his colleagues from Mo City said that there would be a fireworks show at the Swan Lake this year.
Su lanxu thought that since she had nothing to do at home, she might as well go out and watch the fireworks show.
It was freezing cold outside. She found a lemon yellow down jacket in her closet and put it on. She had bought it when she was in University.
She could still wear it now. She had to admire herself for maintaining her figure well.
There was a car in the garage, but she still chose to call for a taxi. However, no one took the order during the new year, and there were no taxis on the road.
After waiting for a long time, a private car finally stopped. The window was lowered, and a girl poked her head out. She smiled and asked, ” “Little sister, do you also want to go to the fireworks show?”
Su lanxu let out an ” ah “. &Quot; I couldn’t get a taxi. &Quot;
“Do you want to take our car? We’re also going to watch the fireworks show.” The girl asked enthusiastically.
Su Lan Xu hesitated. Before she could make a decision, she heard her say, ” “We live in the neighborhood next door, so we’re not bad people!”
Su lanxu was amused by her and dispelled her doubts. &Quot; thank you, guys. &Quot;
“You’re welcome,”
Su lanxu sat in the back seat and saw that the driver was a young man. They should be a couple.
The girl had a cheerful and lively personality, and she was a Chatterbox. She knew that su lanxu was working at the fu Xie Corporation, so she kept praising her.
The man didn’t mind her for being a Chatterbox. He even passed her a thermos cup and asked her to drink more water.
He didn’t want her to say that her throat hurt again.
Su lanxu was envious of their interaction, but she did not look forward to it.
Not everyone was lucky enough to meet their own love.
An hour and a half later, they finally arrived at the Swan Lake. As there were too many people watching the fireworks show, cars could not drive in. They could only Park in the parking lot across the street and walk there.
The girl kindly kept su lanxu’s phone so that she could bring her back with her after the fireworks show, in case she couldn’t get a taxi.
Su lanxu thanked her again, but declined her request to watch the fireworks show together.
They were a couple on a date, so why was she the third wheel?
The girl was a little disappointed, but she didn’t force him and left with her boyfriend.
Su lanxu waved her cold hand and walked slowly to the shore of Swan Lake.
There was still half an hour left before the fireworks show started, but there were people everywhere. Many of them were holding sparklers, colored lights, and balloons.
Su lanxu put her hands in her pockets and followed the crowd. The people around her were all in groups of three to five or couples or married couples with their children. She was the only one left, looking rather pitiful.
There were also a few street vendors selling small items, snacks, and hot drinks.
Su lanxu bought a cup of hot milk tea and found a place to sit down. She didn’t drink the milk tea, only using it to warm her hands and ears.
It was too cold.
The fireworks show officially began at 8:30 pm. With a ” bang “, colorful fireworks lit up the lake, followed by countless fireworks exploding in the night sky, attracting countless people’s exclamations.
The people around them all took out their phones to take pictures or videos and send them to someone.
Su lanxu stood up as well. She looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and a smile appeared on her frozen face.
The fireworks show lasted for an entire hour. Su lanxu also took a few videos and sent them to her parents, telling them not to worry about her.
Just as she was about to leave, someone bumped into her from behind.
His entire body fell forward uncontrollably, and in front of him was a not-so-high iron chain guardrail. If he fell, he would be dead.
Su lanxu wanted to grab someone beside her in a panic, but a force suddenly grabbed her tightly from behind.
As she leaned forward, the hat fell down and blocked her view. Just as she was about to turn back, her ears seemed to be pressed by something. In the chaotic and noisy environment, she vaguely heard someone say something in her ear.
“Su Su, Happy New Year!” He said.
Su lanxu stood firmly and was already out of the crowd. When she turned around, there was no one behind her. Instead, there was a surging crowd.
She stood on her tiptoes and tried to look around the crowd, trying to see who was holding her back, but ...
He did not see anything.
She only realized that something was wrong after she threw the cold milk tea into the trash can. She touched her hat and took off a white, deer-horned, warm earmuffs from her head.
Deer horns.
... Xu Jialu?
Su lanxu suddenly came back to her senses and walked back to where she came from. However, the crowd had already changed wave after wave, and every face was a stranger.
It should be a coincidence!
Even if Xu Jialu was here, it couldn’t be him. She had already said that to him that night, how could he still care about her?
Su lanxu couldn’t help but chuckle as she held the deer Horn earmuffs in her hand.
It seemed that he was really fated with deer. He could even get a Deer Horn earcover for free from a fireworks show.
Her phone rang. It was the girl from before who called to ask where she was. They were preparing to go back.
Su lanxu said that she was on her way back and asked them to wait for a while.
She put on the earmuffs, turned around, and walked back without any hesitation.
Behind a rockery not far away, a man in a dark blue cashmere coat was leaning against the rockery. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers and smoked it from time to time.
“Brother, what are you hiding for?”
