Chapter 439: Saying Goodbye to the Old and Welcoming the New

As midnight passed,

Lin Yao and Lin Xi's phones started ringing.

Lin Yao took out her phone and took a look. It was the staff of Lin Mu Studio wishing each other a Happy New Year.

Of course,

many people also sent her individual messages, such as...

Mu Wanqing: "Happy New Year."

Lin Yao smiled, ignored the group, and replied to Mu Wanqing first: "It feels so perfunctory."

"...Lin Yao, Happy New Year."

"Does adding a name mean sincerity?"

Mu Wanqing paused, and did not reply immediately this time. After a while,

the message popped up.

"I miss you."

Lin Yao was stunned when she saw the message pop up. Her slender fingers unconsciously rubbed the screen of the phone. After a while, she smiled and replied: "I miss you too. Please give me more advice in the new year, Miss Mu."

"..."

Mu Wanqing replied with a smile.

Hundreds of kilometers away.

Pengcheng.

In an apartment.

The young woman in her pajamas hugged her knees, read the message on her phone, exited the software, and then looked at the girl on the screen saver and smiled softly.

On the other side.

After Lin Yao replied.

Suddenly, I felt that the chat records of the two were weird. Why are they so similar...

Lin Yao suddenly thought of something and scratched her face in distress.

It feels like it will be here in a few years.

Urging marriage or something.

She has been in this world for a few years...

but she can't accept it at all.

Waited for a while.

Lin Yao shook her head and dispelled the extra thoughts. Seeing that Mu Wanqing didn't reply, she put away her phone temporarily and looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was not reading the message, but answering the phone.

Although the sound of fireworks was loud.

But Lin Yao stood close and still heard it vaguely. It was about the Switch console.

Lin Xi listened to the other party quietly, then responded and gave a clear answer before hanging up the phone.

"Work matters?"

Lin Yao leaned over and asked.

"Well, the Switch sales have been very good these two days, and some video game stores are out of stock, so they need to urgently transfer the stock."

"Do you have to come in person for such a thing?"

Lin Yao was a little confused.

"Originally, I didn't need it, but because I need to transfer the stock for the beginning of next year, I just told you." Lin Xi explained.

"That's really hard work."

Lin Yao shook her head gently, and then teased: "I have to answer work calls in the middle of the night, which accelerates aging..."

"Are you saying that my sister is old in disguise?!"

Lin Xi laughed angrily, put away her phone immediately, stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Yao's soft face, and said unhappily: "My sister is only three years older than you! You are like a girl, so my sister is also a girl!"

"Okay, okay, yes, yes!"

Lin Yao couldn't help laughing.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Youjie, who went to light firecrackers, patted the dust off his body. When he came home from outside, he saw the two sisters still standing, and was a little confused: "Go back to bed, it's getting late."

"Okay~"

Lin Yao and Lin Xi smiled at each other, then responded together and went back to the second floor together.

But when they came to the second floor.

Lin Xi did not go to her room, but hugged Lin Yao's arm and followed her into the room.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

Lin Yao turned her head and looked at her, a little surprised.

"Are you not welcome?"

Lin Xi turned back and smiled.

"It's not that I'm not welcome, just don't hug me too tightly..."

Lin Yao pushed open the door of the room, and then the two sisters went to the bathroom to change into pajamas and sat on the bed together.

The quilt was cold.

Wearing thin pajamas, the two sisters who had just got into the quilt couldn't help shivering.

Lin Yao couldn't stand it, so she turned sideways and hugged Lin Xi.

The warm and soft touch came.

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"You still told me not to hug too tightly?"

Lin Xi looked at her sister who was hugging her waist, and asked with some amusement.

"It's just a stopgap measure."

Lin Yao rubbed her chest and said stubbornly, "The quilt is so cold..."

Lin Xi shook her head gently, smiled softly, then reached out to help her untie her ponytail, gathered her long hair, and said with emotion, "Your hair is so good."

"Your hair is also very good."

At this time, the quilt was slowly warming up.

But Lin Yao didn't want to let go of Lin Xi.

She was so soft and warm.

"No match for you."

Lin Xi smiled again, let go of her hair, moved down, let them both lie down, and pulled up the quilt to cover the two sisters.

After the bedside lamp was turned off.

The whole room fell into darkness.

Phew.

The two sisters hugged each other in the bed.

The warm feeling surrounded them, making them both breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's so warm."

Lin Yao gently stroked Lin Xi's back and couldn't help but sigh: "But my hands still feel cold."

"You were like this when you were a child, your hands were cold in winter."

Lin Xi pulled Lin Yao's arm and asked her to let go of her waist, then pulled away from her, held her hands, and used her hands to warm her.

Then, she pulled Lin Yao's hand, put it to her lips, and gently exhaled white air.

"...Actually, there's no need to be so exaggerated."

Lin Yao was a little shy for the first time and wanted to pull her hand away.

"Thank you, Xiaoyao."

But Lin Xi didn't let go of her hand, but suddenly said this.

"Huh?"

Lin Yao was a little confused when she heard it.

"Actually, I've always wanted to say it, but I feel too unfamiliar."

Lin Xi was silent for a moment and said softly.

The voice was a little tired and a little relieved.

"Since you know, don't say it."

Lin Yao was a little helpless, then looked at Lin Xi's beautiful face in the dark, her eyes flickering, and suddenly asked: "Sister, do you feel tired?"

Lin Xi was silent for a while, and replied, "... sometimes a little."

"Yeah."

Lin Yao responded, pulled out the hand she was holding, and then moved to her side, put her arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Then when the time comes, let's run away together, okay?"

Lin Xi: "...Run away?"

"Didn't Lin Bing say the day before yesterday that we can get out in two years? When the backbone is back, we will run away."

Lin Yao smiled like a flower and said: "Then take a good rest for a few years!"

"Ah?"

"Don't, how about it?"

Lin Yao whispered in her ear: "I don't want to..."

"Okay." After listening to Lin Yao's words, Lin Xi was silent for a moment, put his arms around her, and responded softly.

"Really, don't regret it."

"Yeah."

"You promised?"

"Yeah."

"..."

In the dark.

Lin Xi put his chin on his sister's shoulder and smiled suddenly.

But Lin Yao couldn't see it.

The two were quiet for a while.

Suddenly.

"Lin Xi, don't hug me from behind."

"Then where to hug me?"

"Waist, waist, waist!"

"Are you still shy in front of your sister?"

"This is not a question of being shy or not..."

The two sisters whispered in the warm bed.

Outside the window.

The cold wind was biting.

Fireworks occasionally rose into the sky, blooming with brilliant colors.

... The old year is over.

Ah, I'm back late again... There is no way to deal with the time in the novel. These two transition chapters are harder to write than I thought, and I dare not write them too obviously, it's so painful.
