Chapter 73: Orange is my little sun
Winter is monotonous white. This year the snow seems to have been falling continuously. A thick layer of snow has piled up on the streets and houses, making the whole city romantic.
The end of the year is approaching and everyone is looking forward to reunion.
Xu Yucheng returned to her home and was packing her suitcase in the room. Every year at this time, she would go to her grandfather's house to celebrate the New Year, and she would fold her thick clothes one by one and stuff them into the suitcase.
After almost finishing everything, he stood up and clapped his hands, "Done."
She walked downstairs in small steps and saw her parents sitting on the sofa. She asked happily, "Everything is packed. When are we leaving?"
Xu's mother smiled gently, pulled her daughter to sit down, and explained, "We won't go during the Spring Festival this year. We'll go later when we're not busy. The snow on the road is too thick and it's difficult to drive."
"Okay." She missed her grandparents a little, and it seemed she would have to go there later.
Father Xu recalled what he had said on the other end of the phone this morning, laughed helplessly, and said, "Your grandpa even bought you fireworks. When he heard we couldn't go, he was so angry that he didn't even eat breakfast."
Xu Yucheng's lips curled up unconsciously, like something her grandfather would do. "Then I'll go upstairs and call grandma and grandpa."
Xu's mother waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
I returned to the room, took out my phone and made a video call. The call was picked up after only two rings.
A sweet voice rang out, "Grandma!"
"Hey, Chengcheng." The grandma over there raised her phone and looked at the person on the phone.
Xu Yucheng couldn't stop smiling as she watched her two grandsons happily chatting across the screen.
She told all the interesting things that happened recently over the phone.
…
On New Year's Eve, Xu Yucheng was awakened by the noise downstairs. In a daze, she picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock.
He looked at the ceiling for a while and then got up.
He just walked out of the room in his slippers.
Downstairs, Xu's mother said to the person on the sofa, "Xiaochen, go up and see if Chengcheng is awake. He's still lying in bed on New Year's Day."
Zhou Yichen nodded and responded.
As he reached the stairwell, he saw the little girl coming down rubbing her eyes, with tenderness in her eyes. He walked upstairs to meet her.
Xu Yucheng was still a little sleepy. She yawned and slowly walked down the stairs.
The next second, I was struck by a powerful chest.
Zhou Yichen looked at her with amusement. The little girl didn't even look at the road ahead. Her tone was very soft, "Does it hurt?"
When Xu Yucheng saw the person in front of him, all sleepiness disappeared instantly. Just as he was about to say that it didn't hurt, he complained again, "Zhou Zhou, it hurts. I hit my nose."
"Give me a rub."
"When did you come? Where's Mother Wen? Are Father Zhou and the others here too?"
He stroked her messy hair and responded, "They came while you were still sleeping, and they all came too."
The two stood in the stairwell and heard laughter coming from downstairs.
Xu Yucheng immediately covered her mouth with her hands as she thought of something and said hurriedly, "Zhou Zhou, wait for me, I'll go wash up." She hadn't brushed her teeth yet.
Zhou Yichen raised the corner of his mouth, "Yeah."
Watching the figure go upstairs, he didn't leave. Instead, he leaned against the wall and took out his cell phone from his pocket. It contained a message from Wu Shuo early in the morning.
[Brother Yi, Happy New Year! Look how positive I am! I sent this to you as soon as I woke up.]
His fingers tapped on the keyboard.
The other side immediately replied: [Brother Yi, where do you want to go? ]
Zhou Yichen directly exited the chat page and clicked on the girl's circle of friends. The latest post was posted last night. He stared at it for a long time and had a vague idea.
He caught a glimpse of someone coming down the stairs, looked up, and put his phone back into his pocket.
"Zhou Zhou!" Xu Yucheng came over happily.
Zhou Yichen stretched out his hands to catch her, his eyes softening as his gaze fell on the clothes she was wearing today.
Xu Yucheng followed his gaze, looked down, took two steps back, and asked, "Does it look good?"
She wore a pink woolen coat with a woolen skirt of the same color. The collar had a white fur edge. This coat was bought for her by her mother. All the other coats in the wardrobe, including the others, were new.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Milky."
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she reached for his hand, "Let's go down."
Zhou Yichen didn't move. He stared at her for two seconds, then pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to get closer to her.
Xu Yucheng guessed what he was going to do, the tips of her ears turned a faint crimson, and she slowly closed her eyes.
But the imagined touch did not come, and she opened her eyes in confusion, "Zhou Zhou, why don't you kiss me?"
Hearing her say this, Zhou Yichen smiled faintly and teased her deliberately, "Chengcheng's hair is messy, let me fix it. What have you been thinking about all day?"
"I think about it all the time."
He listened with joy, a smile on his face.
Xu Yucheng raised her head with a smile on her face, "Then Zhou Zhou, can you kiss me?"
"good."
Zhou Yichen held her head with one hand, pressed his warm lips against hers, and kissed her gently.
"Xiaochen, is Chengcheng awake?" There was a sound of footsteps coming from far away.
Xu Yucheng's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly pushed the person in front of her away, turning around and running away in fright.
Zhou Yichen looked at her back as she hurriedly ran away, lowered his head and chuckled.
Just as he ran away, Xu's mother appeared in the stairwell, "Chengcheng hasn't woken up yet?" and started to walk up the stairs.
"I woke up and went back to get something."
Mother Xu paused, a gentle smile on her face, "That's good, come down and eat, don't stand there."
"good."
Zhou Yichen turned around and went upstairs. The little girl must have hidden in the room again.
He knocked on the door gently, "Orange."
A head popped out from inside. Xu Yucheng looked around and when she saw that her mother didn't come up, she stood up straight and patted her chest in fear.
Zhou Yichen was tall, and his gaze passed over the person in front of him and fell on a wall inside the room.
He stretched out his arm, pulled the person into his arms, and led him inside.
There are many photos on the wall opposite the bed.
The two stood in front of these photos. Xu Yucheng smiled and raised her head with a little pride, "This is my photo wall."
Zhou Yichen walked closer and saw that most of the photos were of the two of them. His heart softened and his eyes were drawn to the photo at the edge.
He raised his hand to take it down. In the photo, he had his eyes closed and lay lifeless on the hospital bed. The only bright spot was the blooming gentian flowers on the bedside table.
"Zhou Zhou, I took this photo when you were unconscious." Xu Yucheng explained.
Zhou Yichen gently touched her hair and prepared to hang the photo. When he turned the photo over, he noticed the words on the back.
It said: Zhou Zhou, I miss you so much, please wake up soon.
When he saw this line of words, his heart ached for a moment. He turned his gaze to the people around him, his eyes filled with heartache.
Xu Yucheng scratched the palm of his hand with her fingers, shook her head and smiled at him.
Zhou Yichen hung up the photo, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her neck. His voice was a little hoarse, "Chengcheng is my little sun."
She curved her lips and hugged him back.
The next second, their lips met.
Zhou Yichen gently stroked her cheek, looked at the person who occupied his whole being, and slowly closed his eyes.
The kiss was soft and delicate.
Snowflakes are falling outside the window, quiet and gentle.
Half an hour later, Xu Yucheng came downstairs with a blushing face, and the person following her had a look of attachment between his brows.
"Hey, where are they?"
Zhou Yichen followed and looked at the empty first floor. Just then, a message came in on his phone.
He looked at the content above, raised his eyebrows, and said, "They are out."
Um?
Xu Yucheng walked over and reached out to see the content on it. It was sent by Zhou's father.
[I leave Orange to you.]
She blinked her eyes, thinking that she had left herself and Zhou Zhou behind.
Zhou Yichen wasn't too surprised. After all, this had happened more than once, and he happened to have his own plans.
