Chapter 76 New Year

Jiang Ningyue and Chu Nian arranged the dishes together and took out two cups from the kitchen.

"Can't I rent a house with my provident fund? Why don't you rent a bigger one?"

"I'm still saving my provident fund to buy a house."

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Do you have any wine at home? I didn't buy any just now."

"I've asked the supermarket in the apartment to deliver it."

"Oh! Your supermarket can deliver goods to your door?"

"Not really." Jiang Ningyue smiled sheepishly, "But give it to me."

Chu Nian suddenly realized, "Privileged class."

Soon, the supermarket delivered the goods. In addition to beer, Jiang Ningyue also bought some fruit wine and RIO. The two of them watched TV series, eating and chatting.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill. Chu Nian was a restless person, "How about we go to the movies?"

Jiang Ningyue had always been a quiet person, and even though she was dealing with people every day after starting her job, it hadn't changed her nature. So she frowned slightly, "Today is New Year's Day, the cinema must be very busy."

"That's right." Chu Nian nodded. "Then I'll leave?"

"Are you still leaving?" Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "Why don't you just sleep at my house?"

"That's right." Chu Nian didn't want to leave in the first place, but he was just retreating to advance.

"I still have some pajamas that I haven't worn yet."

"Great, great."

There were two bathrooms, so two people could shower at the same time. Jiang Ningyue finished her shower, changed her clothes, and dried her hair with the system's hair dryer. The power of this hair dryer was not only that it dried hair very quickly, but also that it left her hair incredibly black, smooth, and shiny, without split ends or dryness.

Of course, there is another hair dryer at home, which was given by the system. Jiang Ningyue will not reveal it to Chu Nian. After all, Chu Nian will not believe what she said to deceive Gu Meng.

When Jiang Ningyue came out, Chu Nian was still washing.

After drinking a little wine, Jiang Ningyue sat on the windowsill, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, and fell into deep thought.

Chu Nian walked out while wiping her hair. She saw Jiang Ningyue sitting on the windowsill drinking, so she tiptoed over.

Jiang Ningyue turned her head helplessly, "Childish?"

"Hahahaha." Chu Nian laughed, then stared at Jiang Ningyue's face, "You don't usually wear makeup? That's too outrageous, isn't it?"

“I’ll draw a little bit when I’m live streaming so it looks better on camera.”

"Your skin is so good." Chu Nian said with envy, "I really envy you."

Jiang Ningyue suddenly changed the subject, "I'm going to play guitar, do you want to listen?"

"Okay!" Chu Nian nodded happily.

In the study, Jiang Ningyue held a guitar and said to the camera: "This song is dedicated to the stranger I am most familiar with. I hope she can live a happy life in the afterlife."

After that, the sound of guitar slowly began to play.

"Scattered moonlight shines through the clouds."

"Hiding from the crowd, spreading like the scales of the sea."

"The waves wet your white dress, trying to push you back."

…

Chu Nian sat aside, silently watching Jiang Ningyue. The first line of the lyrics was already amazing enough, but soon Chu Nian was attracted by the sadness of the song.

At this moment, Jiang Ningyue's face was filled with a hint of sadness and melancholy, as if she was telling the life story of a friend.

Chu Nian covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound. She didn't know why, but just a few lines of the lyrics made tears well up in her eyes.

"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze and the feeling of stepping on the wet sand. You said that people's home should be back to the sea."

"You asked me where I would go if I missed you, if there was anyone who loved you, and if the world could no longer exist."

…

"This friend must be very close to her."

Chu Nian thought so, but what does the most familiar stranger mean?

Could it be that this friend passed away in these few days?

How come I didn’t notice it from the beginning?

Jiang Ningyue is such a strong person.

…

"It's too late, too late, you once cried with laughter."

"I have no time, but I will sing for you."

"Spring rain and summer cicadas chirping, tomorrow will be a nice day."

"The autumn wind blows and the snowflakes are light, and the four seasons cannot be seen under the sea."

…

Chu Nian looked at Jiang Ningyue with tears in her eyes. She had already imagined such a scene in her mind.

On the cold seashore, a beautiful girl in a white dress walked towards the sea step by step. There was no one on the beach, only the waves trying to push her back.

But it was all too late, too late.

She died in the end, died forever that night, died in the sea she loved most.

I don’t know what Jiang Ningyue feels as she endures all this alone.

…

This is the first time that Jiang Ningyue has recorded such a long video on Douyin. Her previous videos were all one minute long, and the longest was no longer than one and a half minutes.

After singing this song, Jiang Ningyue felt much better.

Turning around, she saw Chu Nian with tears streaming down her face and was startled. "What's wrong with you?"

As she spoke, Jiang Ningyue sat next to Chu Nian.

“Wuwuwu…”

Chu Nian hugged Jiang Ningyue and cried loudly. Jiang Ningyue patted Chu Nian helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."

Chu Nian raised her head and looked at Jiang Ningyue with tears in her eyes. "So you still have such a sad thing in your heart. Did your good friend leave?"

"I guess so."

Jiang Ningyue didn't know how to describe 'Jiang Ningyue', so she could only give an ambiguous answer and handed a pack of tissues to Chu Nian.

Chu Nian wiped her tears and it took her a long time to recover. She looked at Jiang Ningyue, as if she had made some kind of resolution, "Don't worry, I will spend every holiday with you from now on."

"Forehead……"

Jiang Ningyue blinked and wanted to tell Chu Nian, "That's not necessary."

At this moment, Chu Nian's heart was broken. If Jiang Ningyue was a man, he would most likely take advantage of the situation and push her down.

pity.

After this video was uploaded, the number of likes immediately exceeded 2 million.

The comment section almost turned into a scene of "NetEase Cloud Music Depression".

【When you fall into the abyss, even your shadow will abandon you.】

【The fog is rising, I love you in a place where no one is around.】

This song has a feeling of extreme loneliness.

【Suddenly I feel that life is meaningless.】

Tonight, countless emo people came to the scene, and countless people started sharing this song on their WeChat Moments.

In just one night, there were signs that the fire was breaking out of the circle.

…

After tonight, it will be 2019.

Jiang Ningyue and Chu Nian stayed up until 12 o'clock in the evening before they slowly closed their eyes.
