Chapter 49 Love Moon 049 It turns out to be you...
The tall figure left, and Qin Yang looked at He Chuyue as if admitting his mistake, "Does brother-in-law know Xiao... Xiao Wei?"
"Don't mention him if you already know him." He Chuyue felt a headache. "Why did you think of mentioning him? It was so many years ago."
Qin Yang said innocently: "After all, he was the first person you liked. It would be abnormal if I didn't remember him. I tried so hard to get my mother to agree to pick you up from high school. I was lucky to meet him that time. Unfortunately, the lighting was too dim and I only remembered that he was handsome. Now that I see my brother-in-law, I have to compare the two faces together."
"You do have a reason." She pretended to be fierce and stretched out her hand to him, "I should have killed you the night you found out I wrote a love letter!"
“No no!”
Qin Yang ran towards the door in an exaggerated manner, and only calmed down after Qin Tai scolded him for not behaving properly.
Several people sat down at the dining table and started to eat. Dai Wenchun's hesitant look made He Chuyue a little confused. Her eyes kept shifting between her and Xiao Zhiyan, as if everyone was hiding something from her.
During the period, Qin Tai insisted on drinking and asked Xiao Zhiyan to accompany him. She looked at Dai Wenchun, wondering why she didn't stop him this time. Before He Chuyue could stop him, someone had already obediently picked up the wine glass and drank it all...
He Chuyue closed her eyes silently, wondering if Xiao Zhiyan's poor alcohol tolerance could withstand Qin Tai's collection of Moutai.
It turns out that half a cup is enough to pour...
He Chuyue looked at the innocent Qin Tai, who was also at a loss, "I... I didn't know he couldn't drink so much, it was your aunt who made me -"
"Tsk!" Dai Wenchun slapped him on the arm and glared at him.
Qin Tai changed his words: "Your aunt is right not to let me drink!"
Finally, he picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp.
He Chuyue: “…”
"Come on, Xiaoyang, lend a hand and send your brother-in-law to your sister's room."
Over there, Dai Wenchun had already helped the man up.
Seeing the man being taken away, He Chuyue, who was still standing in a daze at the table, suddenly felt as if she was watching a mountain king snatching a man from the people and sending him into the bridal chamber.
Is this correct? ? ?
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and take a look?" Qin Tai urged.
He Chuyue felt that what happened today was very strange, but she didn't know where to go, so she just walked towards the bedroom. At the door, she was stopped by Dai Wenchun.
"Please take good care of Zhiyan. If you have anything to say, please talk to her nicely."
He Chuyue was confused and was pushed inside before she could even open her mouth to ask. The door was closed and she saw the person who should have been drunk was sitting there with a smile on his face.
How can people become bad so quickly?
He Chuyue was afraid of making a noise that would alert the outside world, so she knelt on one leg beside the bed and rubbed his face, whispering, "Good on you, you've learned how to lie. I'm going to go out and tell my aunt and uncle about your evil deeds now!"
She pretended to leave, but Xiao Zhiyan grabbed her hand and made her sit on his lap.
This was the first time that such an ambiguous action happened. He Chuyue was embarrassed and didn't dare to move too much. She reached out to push his shoulder, but his free hand held it and pressed against his face.
"My aunt and uncle know."
She looked towards the door and suddenly realized, "Great! You guys teamed up to trick me!"
A low laugh was heard, Xiao Zhiyan's chest vibrated, his face was tender and gentle: "They are also worried that we will quarrel."
"Where did you get that from?"
"My aunt came out halfway and saw only me. She asked me where I had been. I said you and Xiaoyang were in the bedroom."
He Chuyue blinked: "Just because of this?"
"When I asked you to come out for dinner, I turned around and saw my aunt walking towards the kitchen. She must have heard Xiao Wei's name."
She understood and couldn't help feeling guilty.
The hand on the back of her hand tightened, and she ran into the man's deep eyes and looked away: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Zhiyan moved closer to her until his face was close to hers. He tilted his head slightly and blinked. His long, thick eyelashes easily brushed against her skin, causing her heart to tremble.
"I want to remember what it's like when you feel guilty."
Someone who was touched on the spot was furious: "Xiao Zhiyan!"
Turning their faces away, he rested his chin on her neck, and just sat there holding her, gently closing his eyes.
Five minutes ago, He Chuyue was called to the kitchen by Dai Wenchun, who closed the door and told her, "Did you mention Xiao Wei to Xiaoyang just now?"
He Chuyue was shocked, "How do you know Xiao Wei?"
Dai Wenchun narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "You guys are trying to hide your little tricks from me? Have you forgotten what your aunt did before she resigned?"
"......"
He Chuyue still couldn’t figure it out. Dai Wenchun had never met Xiao Wei, which really shouldn’t have happened... Could it be that Qin Yangyi leaked the news?
"Don't even think about it. You won't be able to figure it out no matter how hard you try." She glared at He Chuyue, unfathomable. "As a teacher, you don't know about the rumors between you two. Your head teacher called me on the first day and told us to keep an eye on you and not to fall in love too early."
Suddenly she remembered that in her first year of high school, her homeroom teacher moved her, who was only 1.67 meters tall, to the first row... Could it be because of this?
Dai Wenchun saw her like this and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still in contact with this Xiao Wei?"
"Aunt, I don't like him. You are wrong."
"How long have you and Zhiyan been married? You let her sit alone in the living room during the first Chinese New Year. She looks so pitiful, but she's still peeling nuts for you. Niuniu, you should learn to cherish her."
The earnest persuasion turned her into a treacherous scumbag. He Chuyue tried to get back at him: "It was you and your uncle-in-law who didn't let him enter the kitchen..."
"Hey! You girl, you're blaming us, right? That's your boyfriend! Go away, don't make me angry on New Year's Day!"
Combining all this, He Chuyue finally understood why Dai Wenchun and Qin Tai had to force him to drink. It was just to give the two of them space to get along with each other and make things clear.
Before explaining, Xiao Zhiyan let go of her, pointed at the photo on the table and asked, "Is that photo taken when you were in the first year of high school?"
He Chuyue looked in the direction he was looking at, then stood up and took it. "Yes, it's the freshman physics competition."
In the photo, He Chuyue is holding the award certificate and making a scissors sign towards the camera, and the words "competition" can be vaguely seen behind her.
His bony fingers tapped the lower left corner of the photo. She was puzzled and only heard his voice sounding faintly.
"I'm here."
"where?"
She moved her hand away and focused on the blur in the lower left corner.
There was a ripple in his eyes, and he held her hand tightly, whispering in her ear: "In 2014, the physics competition winter camp when I just entered high school, right?"
The dusty and neglected memories were opened up bit by bit by her. He Chuyue was stunned and suddenly remembered that the first place in the competition that year was named with only one character "Xiao".
She looked at the man, and after a long while she heard her own voice: "You are the first?"
The pleasant chuckle said it all. He raised his hand to stroke her long hair and coaxed her: "It turns out that we have met a long time ago."
"Yeah, it turns out we met in the first year of high school." He whispered softly.
She looked at the photo again and saw what looked like a boy's profile in the lower left corner. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but the more she looked at him, the more he looked like Xiao Zhiyan.
That is Xiao Zhiyan.
"How are you, Mr. He? Do you want to get to know each other again?"
She laughed so hard that her nose was covered with snot bubbles. Why is this person a bit non-mainstream?
"Okay, first place."
He corrected, "Now you're number one."
...
After my aunt and uncle came in the evening, the house became completely lively. Dai Wenchun and Qin Tai were relieved to see the two of them sticking together again. After persuading the children to leave, they started playing mahjong.
He Chuyue was a beginner and not very proficient. At the beginning, she won a few games by self-drawing. Later, her uncle said that it was so simple and boring, so he cancelled the self-drawing. From then on, He Chuyue lost all the money she won, and she admitted defeat.
Since four people couldn't sit together at a table, my uncle naturally didn't have enough fun. After knowing that Xiao Zhiyan could play, the four of them started a new round, and another, until my uncle owed Xiao Zhiyan several hundred yuan, and the game finally ended.
"Brother, remember not to ask Zhiyan to come play cards next time. I still prefer playing with Niuniu."
Seeing this, He Chuyue gave Xiao Zhiyan all the money he had won: "Uncle, if you want my money, just tell me directly."
Several people laughed, and the fireworks outside the room bloomed in the night sky again.
My aunt's children Xiaokang and Qin Yang came out of the bedroom after playing games and couldn't sit still on the sofa for a while. Just then, they saw someone setting off fireworks outside, so they started to go downstairs to set them off, and Dai Wenchun naturally agreed.
In previous years, fireworks were banned in northern cities, so that the festive atmosphere of the New Year was greatly diminished. The smoking ban was only introduced this year, and it really gave the kids a great time.
"Wear more clothes and don't catch a cold," my aunt advised.
Qin Yangyi responded and asked He Chuyue: "Sister, aren't you going?"
The person sitting on the sofa took a bite of the peeled orange slices Xiao Zhiyan handed to him and didn't hear clearly: "You called me?"
Qin Yangyi, who was fed with dog food, said: "...It's okay, we're leaving."
He Chuyue felt puzzled, and Xiao Zhiyan handed her new orange slices, "He asked if you wanted to go out and set off fireworks."
"Oh wait, finish this episode."
There was an animated film playing on TV, it was a classic.
His eyes fell on the sheep on the screen, and he asked with interest: "Like it?"
"No, I just don't know what the ending of this cartoon is."
"......"
Noticing his silence, she asked, "Don't cartoons have endings?"
"As expected, yes. And I heard the new version has been out for a long time."
"Oh." He Chuyue leaned against the cushion and murmured, "I hope that happiness will spread infinitely in the children's world."
She clapped her hands and felt her palms warm. She looked down and saw Xiao Zhiyan holding her hands and wiping them bit by bit with a wet wipe.
"Your happiness will spread infinitely."
His voice was very soft, but He Chuyue heard it all and her face turned red.
Afraid that the elders would see it, she blocked it and tried to take it back: "No need to wipe it."
Unable to persuade her, Xiao Zhiyan let go of her hand and kissed her.
How can someone be so cute even when blushing?
My aunt noticed the photo album and found it interesting so she took it and looked at it.
After flipping through a few pages, she felt as if she had found a treasure: "Sister-in-law, where did you make this album? It looks pretty good to me."
"I made it using a link my friend gave me. It also has a function that can make blurry photos clearer. After it's done online, you can print it right away, and it will be great to have it delivered to your home."
"That's great, teach me how to make one, and I'll make one too."
"Sure."
Dai Wenchun took out all the old photo albums at home and showed them to his aunt, and also asked everyone to look through them and reminisce about the past.
Xiao Zhiyan also had a few books in his hand. He looked at the young but energetic smiling face in the photo, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are there no photos of Niu Niu when she was a child in these albums?" Uncle-in-law put the two albums on the table. "Xiao Yang, I think they are all complete, but why are there only photos of Niu Niu when she was in junior high and high school? Did we miss it?"
My aunt's face changed and she blinked at him, but the other party didn't understand.
Xiao Zhiyan also noticed that there were very few photos of He Chuyue as a baby in the album and thought he had missed them.
Her aunt and uncle met late, and when He Chuyue came, she already knew that her aunt was very rebellious when she was young and always went against Qin's mother. Later, after falling out with my family, I moved out and went to work in another place, where I met my uncle.
So he didn't know anything about He Chuyue before she was six years old. He just thought that she was adopted by her aunt after her parents died.
"Oh, why do you have so many questions?" The aunt who knew the situation glanced at my brother and sister-in-law and interrupted him, "Why don't you go downstairs to check on Xiaokang and Xiaoyang? It's not safe for two children to play with whips."
"Oh, yes, I won't ask anymore."
"It's all over, there's nothing that can't be said."
Dai Wenchun closed the album and explained to him: "Niuniu was sick before she was six years old. She can't remember many things and it's not auspicious, so I didn't keep most of the photos from that time."
"So that's how it is. Now I know. Sorry, sister-in-law."
"What's the big deal? We are all family. Why should we apologize?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan retracted his gaze and guessed that Dai Wenchun didn't want to keep the photo of He Chuyue's mother and He Changda. He flipped through the photo album with his fingertips until he suddenly stopped before the last page was closed, and looked at the photo in the corner of the page with his pupils slightly constricted.
It's the same face as in my memory.
The one who left without saying goodbye, leaving only the reconciliation ring he lent to her parents -
long.
A certain thought popped up in his mind, and Xiao Zhiyan stared at the photo in disbelief, his fingertips trembling, and he didn't even hear He Chuyue calling him.
"Xiao Zhiyan?"
"What's wrong?" He closed the album and took a while to focus.
Noticing that something was wrong with him, He Chuyue said she was going to get the photo album. After flipping through it and seeing nothing else, she just asked, "What did you see? You didn't even listen to me."
"I was distracted. What did you just say?"
"I asked you if you wanted to go down and set off the fireworks, and Xiaoyang sent me a WeChat message saying that he bought a lot of beautiful ones again."
"good."
He Chuyue stood up and said something to Dai Wenchun, and they went downstairs.
Before changing clothes, Dai Wenchun took out a mask and gave it to her, asking her to pay attention to the baby in her belly. He Chuyue responded and put it on obediently.
There was no elevator in the old-style staircase, so Xiao Zhiyan paid attention to her feet and held on to someone. He Chuyue's eyes fell on his thoughtful face. She always felt that he was hiding something from her, so she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
He raised his eyes and said after a while: "You said before that you adopted a kitten. It was fine at that time, right?"
"yes."
"What color is the cat?"
She shook her head in thought, "I don't quite remember, it seems to be gray... or maybe it's too dirty."
"Then why didn't you raise it later?"
"He Changda threw it into the trash can."
The footsteps stopped and the voice-activated lights in the corridor went out because there was no sound. In the dark environment as the curtain fell, her voice was extremely cold.
"When I found it, it had already frozen to death. Then He Changda was in a hurry to catch a plane, so he tricked me into buying me a cake and left. I stayed next to the trash can for most of the day. If my aunt hadn't found me, I would have frozen to death too."
"Then I had a fever for three days. After I woke up, I had a vague memory of things before the age of six. I only remembered He Changda and my mother. So my aunt didn't keep any photos of me before that, for fear that I would remember the unhappy things."
Her hand was held tightly, and He Chuyue withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Zhiyan. She saw the pain in his eyes, and she curled her lips as her eyelashes trembled.
"It's New Year's Day, don't do this." She pulled his hand and urged, "Hurry up, Xiaoyang and the others are waiting anxiously."
As she led him down, Xiao Zhiyan looked at her profile and suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether she knew that she was Youyou or they had met each other when they were children.
The most important thing is that she is happy.
The lights in the corridor lit up again due to the sound, and as they walked down the stairs, they continued to illuminate the path under their feet and dispel the darkness ahead.
Clusters of fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and He Chuyue's illuminated smile made the surroundings dim.
"Xiao Zhiyan, Happy New Year!"
Her voice drowned out the noise and fell gently into his ear.
Xiao Zhiyan followed her gaze and responded gently: "Happy New Year."
At this moment, a huge firework bloomed above the two of them. He Chuyue stopped and looked up, with a look of joy between her eyebrows.
Without even turning her head, she shook the sleeve of the person next to her and urged him, "Look! It's so beautiful."
"Yes." His eyes were only on her, "So beautiful."
The sound ended, but his sight was always with his heroine.
The fireworks in He Chuyue's hand burned out when she was watching the big fireworks just now, so she went to Qin Yangyi to ask for new ones. There is a huge square in front of the community building, and many people are setting off fireworks here at the moment.
Amid the noisy blessings, someone behind me said, "It's nice to know you, xx," and was then swallowed up by the exploding fireworks.
But he heard it.
Xiao Zhiyan looked at the person walking towards him with a tender gaze.
"Long time no see, Niuniu."
"Happy New Year."
