The force increased countless times: "Lulu used to say she liked me the most, that she loved me the most, but it was all a lie!"
Bai Lu didn't remember ever telling the brainless kid that she liked him the most or loved him the most. It was probably that the brainless kid had projected what she said to Xiao Cheng onto himself.
A brainless child is a brainless child; they get jealous easily, get angry for no reason, and bully others for no reason.
She would not compromise even if she were smashed to pieces.
If things don't go his way, he won't say anything.
"snort……"
Xiao was really angry, so angry that he wanted to ignore everything... but then he saw the beautiful face reflected in the French windows suddenly furrow its brows, as if it were in great pain.
Her originally soft, panting voice was now as fragile and vulnerable as that of a wounded animal.
He immediately stopped all movement.
What's wrong with Lulu?
Where does it hurt?
Bai Lu was put back on the bed and covered with a quilt. Her watery eyes were misty, and she bit her lip without speaking, turning away as if powerless.
Xiao Xiao lay behind her, not daring to move her anymore, only gently placing his hand on her waist and embracing her.
Seeing that the once smooth and fair skin below her neck was now covered with glaring purplish-blue marks, Xiao Xiaohai's jealousy and anger vanished.
"Lulu, I'm sorry."
"It was my fault. I won't be angry next time. I won't bully Lulu or force her."
"Lulu, please don't be angry, okay?"
The slender, delicate figure trembled slightly, but remained silent. She must be angry. Xiao Xiao felt very guilty.
He wanted to hold Bailu's hand, but after groping around for a while, he found that Bailu's hand had already been pulled back above her, probably to the side of her face, where she was definitely holding the pillow and didn't want him to hold it.
Xiao Xiao silently withdrew his hand from Lulu's slender, fair wrist, and Lulu ignored him.
He was definitely angry, even more so than before: "Lulu, I'm sorry."
"I'll listen to you in everything from now on, and I won't force you anymore. I love me when I'm drunk..."
Bai Lu's shoulders trembled again. Xiao Xiaohai thought she was shaking with anger, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Little did people know, Bailu was not angry at all.
She was biting her fingers to suppress a laugh.
Just now, she did it on purpose, deliberately frowning and deliberately showing a pained expression.
Who let those brainless kids have such unrestrained behavior?
What time is it? — It's 3:30 AM!
Xiao Cheng will have to get up early tomorrow to set off firecrackers.
She also had to get up early to give Xiaowei a New Year's red envelope and go with him to the central square to watch a puppet show.
I don't want to get up before the sun is high in the sky.
Unfortunately, the clueless kid was in a fit of anger, and nothing she said mattered, so she could only try to exploit his weaknesses.
"Lulu?" Xiao Xiaohai hadn't received a response from Bai Lu for a long time, and his heart grew increasingly uneasy.
He tentatively reached out to hold Bai Lu's hand, but as soon as he did, Bai Lu grabbed his hand in return.
"Um."
She finally spoke: "Go to sleep."
Xiao Xiao was so excited that he immediately hugged her tightly, but remembering her painful expression just now, he loosened his grip by half and asked cautiously, "Lulu, you're not angry anymore?"
Bai Lu paused for two seconds and responded with an "Mm".
The voice was extremely soft and faint, as if weak and powerless, yet it also seemed to still carry a hint of resentment.
Xiao Xiao put all his questions aside and held her soft, boneless little hand tightly in his large hand.
Gently intertwining their fingers: "Lulu, is anything bothering you? Do you need anything...?"
"No need." Bai Lu interrupted him before he could say anything more, her words so blunt they made her scalp tingle.
All she wants to do right now is sleep.
"Let's go to sleep."
The child dared not ask any more questions, fearing that Bailu would get angry again and ignore him, and obediently replied, "Okay."
...
Firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, families joyfully welcome the new spring, and festive greetings fill the universe.
Before dawn, the sounds of firecrackers celebrating the New Year rang out from all directions, growing louder as they approached.
As dawn broke, the sound of firecrackers began to echo through the new town. Even with soundproof doors and windows, the continuous noises, focused from all directions, inevitably disturbed people's peaceful dreams.
When Bai Lu groggily opened her eyes, the tall and imposing figure in the dim light was already dressed. His large, well-defined hands were fastening the last and first button of his shirt collar. Once it was fastened, he would put on his new overcoat.
Those were matching coats she bought for her and her partner.
Xiao Cheng wore a dark color, while she wore a light color.
A new year brings a fresh look.
Xiao Cheng walked towards her in the morning light, his usually cold eyes softening. Her figure magnified in his eyes until he reached out and gently patted her back.
In a soft, soothing voice, she coaxed him to sleep: "Sleep a little longer. I'll come up and wake you when it's light."
Bai Lu shook her head, struggled to open her sleepy eyes, grabbed Xiao Cheng's hand, and slowly got up with his help: "I want to watch you light the firecrackers."
"I want to spend the New Year with you, and I want to give Xiaowei a New Year's red envelope..."
As she finished speaking, Xiao Cheng picked up the new clothes that had been prepared by the bedside and helped her put them on.
Put on your coat and fasten the belt.
He lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, and whispered, "Happy New Year, my wife."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "Happy New Year, my husband."
"Wishing you prosperity and good fortune, where's my big red envelope?"
Xiao Cheng chuckled, reached under her pillow, pulled out a red envelope, and gave it to her.
Bai Lu also took out a red envelope from under his pillow and gave it to him: "May Mr. Xiao's business prosper, his wealth increase, and his wealth increase year after year."
Xiao Cheng's smile grew wider, like an ice flower blooming on a snow-capped mountain peak, accompanied by divine music.
"I take advantage of my wife's auspicious words and grant her wish."
A new year, a new beginning. Whatever happened in the past, it will all fade away with the wind, and we will welcome a better future.
Li Jianfeng woke up from a hangover and was a little confused when he opened his eyes to find himself in unfamiliar surroundings.
After a moment of confusion, he realized that this was not his main base, nor the Pingcheng branch.
