Lu Anning and Tang Ran played in Meilin until it was almost dark. Tang Jingyuan came to look for them in person, and they reluctantly went back to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Jingyuan handed him the prepared ginger tea and hot towel, and rubbed Lu Anning's hands. He was so attentive and considerate that even Tang Ran was envious.

"In the future, I must find a boyfriend as gentle as my third brother."

Everyone laughed and joked, "It seems Tang Ran is the only one left at home who hasn't settled down. It's time for him to consider his personal issues."

Tang Ran finally realized that she had suddenly drawn the focus to herself. God knew that she only had eyes for those antiques and books, and really didn't have much interest in men.

Tang Lianfeng immediately mentioned, "Doesn't An Ning have four brothers? Gu Yue is married, so there are three left. Let Xiao Ran pick one later. I think Doctor Gu is a good choice."

An Li also agreed: "Dr. Gu has a gentle and kind personality, and is indeed a good choice. If Miss Tang is interested, I will mention it to Dr. Gu later."

Everyone knew that An Li and Dr. Gu had a good relationship. Even she said so, and everyone nodded. Tang Ran was embarrassed and blushed. She pulled Lu An Ning and shook her hand.

"Sister-in-law, everyone is bullying me, you have to say something for me."

"My brothers are really good. My second brother is a doctor. My third brother is a versatile actor and the dream of thousands of girls. And my fourth brother is even better, masculine and handsome. I think they are all good."

Tang Ran's face suddenly turned even redder!

"You are all joking with me. I don't want to bother with you."

On New Year's Eve, the entire Panlong Mountain was full of vitality. Even though the snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, it could not cover up the enthusiasm of reunion.

It was a lively time, and the brilliant fireworks outside lit up half the sky, bringing a warm atmosphere.

Tang Qizon still remembered the old man's rules and only had dinner. While the mountain road was not frozen yet, he took his family away soon after dinner. The old man did not speak to keep him. He always felt that the eldest brother's family and old man Tang were estranged, and no matter how he looked at them, they felt like outsiders.

Tang Lianfeng's family is different!

My wife is gentle and quiet, but she can also chat and laugh with the elders. After the eldest brother and his family left, everyone in the house finally relaxed.

Lu Anning stood in front of the window, watching the heavy snow falling outside, her eyes following the receding car lights for a long time, and she didn't even notice when Tang Jingyuan came to her side.

"Are you convinced?"

Lu Anning looked up at Tang Jingyuan in surprise, then realized what he was asking and shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's hard to say."

She was curious: "How do you know what I said to Ye Lingfei?"

"I can guess what you're thinking."

"You talk as if you know me very well." She curled her lips and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, actually wishing that time could stop at this second and they could just stay there quietly.

"I can guess 70% or 80%!"

Of course, this is Tang Jingyuan's conservative estimate.

Lu Anning stopped talking and stood quietly in front of the window.

In the yard, Tang Rui was forced to wear a very cute little bear hat and played with fairy wands and various fireworks with Tang Ran. There was a rare childish innocence on his face that belonged to his age.

Lu Anning thought it was rare, so he took out his cell phone and secretly took a picture.

"If your sister saw Tang Rui's current appearance, she would definitely be very happy."

The two chatted casually. In the yard, Tang Ran pulled Tang Rui aside and started to whisper to him, gossiping about when he could have a younger brother or sister. Tang Rui shrugged, looking a little distressed.

"I've already discussed this with them privately, but they haven't responded. I don't know what they're thinking. We're not short of money, and if we delay for a few more years, she'll be past her prime childbearing age, and she'll be the one to suffer."

Tang Ran said, "You're just a little kid, but you know a lot."

"I'm already an adult mentally, don't always treat me like a child. Most of the time I think more steadily than you do. Aunt, we're about the same, at most."

Tang Ran snorted lightly and ruffled Tang Rui's hair deliberately.

"She's so old-fashioned at such a young age. She's not cute at all."

Laughter appeared and disappeared in the blooming fireworks, and the entire Panlong Mountain was wrapped in warmth.

At twelve o'clock, the bell rang and the blessings echoed in the house.

An Li prepared a prescription for prolonging Mr. Tang's life. After she personally took his pulse and confirmed that he was in good health, Tang Jingyuan was in a good mood.

There was snow outside the house, and inside the house, Lu Anning wore the New Year's battle suit prepared for Tang Jingyuan and spent a warm and hot night.

While he was drowsy, Lu Anning found a cool agarwood bracelet on his wrist.

"I got this from a high monk. It's a New Year's gift for you. May it keep you safe and healthy."

The gentle voice turned into a warm current, wrapping her tightly. Tang Jingyuan also had an extra bracelet of the same style on his hand.

May they all be healthy, safe and happy in the coming year.

A night of heavy snow covered Panlong Mountain. A few days before the Spring Festival, Lu Anning spent an entire lazy vacation on the mountain. He ate and slept every day, brewed tea around the fire, and occasionally chatted about gossip. The days of isolation from the world were just like this.

She had planned to spend the entire Spring Festival leisurely and comfortable, but a piece of news from Gu Yu completely broke the tranquility of the Spring Festival.

"Little sister, have you seen the news? Zhao Ting is dead!"

Lu Anning, who was lying in the rocking chair and telling jokes to Tang Ran, suddenly stood up, and the smile on his face completely froze.

"How could that be! Isn't she already stable?"

"He jumped from a bridge several dozen meters long and died instantly."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anning immediately went online to search for news. When she saw the mosaic photos of the scene, her hands and feet turned cold and she froze in place.

She wasn't the only one who had an accident at the scene.
