Chapter 794 The Le'an couple's first kiss~
Fine, he shouldn't be trying to reason with a drunkard.
"It's a little past eleven now. Do you remember what Uncle Wang just said about setting off firecrackers and fireworks at midnight?"
"I remember!" Le Yan tilted her head. "But do you know how to set off firecrackers? The kind that go off in a big string, explodes when you light it, and is really powerful!"
Fu Nian'an hadn't tried it, but she shouldn't be unable to.
Le Yan was drunk, but she hadn't forgotten about taking Fu Nian'an to the rooftop to watch the fireworks.
"Mr. Fu, what time is it?"
Fu Nian'an subconsciously looked at his wrist, only to remember that he had just taken off his watch.
He paused, turned around, picked up his watch from the tea table, and glanced at the time. "It's almost 11:30."
Le Yan watched as he skillfully put the luxury watch on his wrist.
She looked intently, and her true thoughts blurted out: "Handsome face, beautiful hands, and a great physique, Mr. Fu, do you have any flaws?"
Fu Nian'an frowned.
figure?
He chuckled to himself.
But the girl looked very serious, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know I have a good figure?"
"Huh?" Le Yan raised her head and met the man's deep, dark eyes.
She blinked, and images flashed through her mind.
"I've seen it!" she said confidently, her watery eyes squinting excitedly. "Six-pack abs!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
“No…” Le Yan immediately shook her head, trying hard to recall the abs in the picture, “Strange, is it six-pack or eight-pack?”
Fu Nian'an's expression darkened. Looking at the girl's earnest recollection, he felt a pang of jealousy.
"I'm pretty sure I've never shown my abs to any girl, Leyan. You should really think about it. Which man's abs have you actually seen?"
"You showed it to me!" Le Yan looked at Fu Nian'an, her tone firm: "I even touched it in my dream!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
He seemed to know something incredible.
"But it's such a pity, I can't remember how many pieces it was..."
Fu Nian'an raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Lin Leyan, you're not allowed to drink alcohol anymore."
Le Yan was focused on recalling exactly how many abs Fu Nian'an had and didn't hear what Fu Nian'an said.
Fu Nian'an looked at her, somewhat helpless.
However, aside from talking nonsense, Le Yan is actually quite well-behaved when she's drunk.
They stay quietly in one place, without making a fuss.
Fu Nian'an, preoccupied with the plan to set off firecrackers at midnight to usher in the spring, asked her, "Where are the firecrackers and fireworks?"
"In the storeroom, that room over there with the door closed..."
Fu Nian'an looked in the direction Le Yan was pointing.
"I'll go get it." He stood up and ruffled the girl's hair with his large hand. "Don't run around, sit still."
Le Yan nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
...
Just as Fu Nian'an found the firecrackers and fireworks, footsteps came from the other side of the stairs.
Lin Minsheng survived.
"Uncle Lin?" Fu Nian'an was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Minsheng, who was so drunk, could still get up.
Uncle Lin pulled up his dark gray cotton coat, raised his hand to wipe his face, and apart from his eyes still being a little red, he seemed to have sobered up quite a bit.
Drinking too much good wine and then taking a nap makes you feel refreshed.
He glanced at Le Yang, who was curled up on the sofa and dozing off, and frowned slightly: "Yang Yang, what's wrong?"
"My neighbor, Uncle Wang, gave me some sweet wine, and I got drunk."
“This girl can’t hold her liquor,” Lin Minsheng said, “but when she drinks too much, she falls asleep as soon as she gets drunk, just like me. Look, she’s asleep right now.”
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Only then did he realize that Le Yan and Lin Minsheng were both the type of people who became more talkative after drinking too much.
Lin Minsheng looked at Fu Nian'an, and some images suddenly flashed through his mind...
He blushed instantly and looked at Fu Nian'an with a bright smile, saying, "Nian'an, um, I'm sorry, I lost my composure tonight."
Although he was drunk, he wasn't completely out of it.
Just now, Lin Minsheng suddenly remembered that he had said a lot to Fu Nian'an. He felt a little regretful, but more worried about whether what he said would affect Le Yan.
Fu Nian'an saw his concerns and reassured him, "Uncle Lin, you don't need to worry. I should thank you for sharing Le Yan's life with me, which helped me understand her better. Rest assured, I promise you that as long as I'm here, I will do everything I can to protect Le Yan."
Lin Minsheng looked at Fu Nian'an and nodded emphatically, "Okay, I feel relieved to hear that."
Lin Minsheng's eyes were getting hot, and fearing he would lose his composure again, he quickly said, "It's almost midnight, I need to take these firecrackers and fireworks to the yard and set them off in advance."
"I'll help you."
"No need, no need," Lin Minsheng hurriedly waved his hand, "I do these things every year, I'm used to it."
Fu Nian'an still bent down and picked up the two boxes of fireworks, saying, "You can take the firecrackers."
Unable to dissuade him, Lin Minsheng could only smile and nod.
The two went into the courtyard, set up the firecrackers, and then arranged the fireworks.
Afterwards, Lin Minsheng said to Fu Nian'an, "Yangyang always goes to the rooftop early every year to wait. This year, with you with her, she will definitely be even happier."
Fu Nian'an smiled and said, "I will bring her back to spend the New Year with you every Lunar New Year's Eve from now on."
Lin Minsheng waved his hand, "No, that won't do. I'm touched by your kind intentions, but once a girl gets married, everything should revolve around her husband's family. In our area, married girls are expected to spend New Year's Eve at their husband's home. If they go back to their parents' home for the New Year, people will talk about them."
Fu Nian'an did not actually agree with this view.
But he also knew that regional differences were not something he could change on his own.
Furthermore, he and Le Yan hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage yet, and he felt it was inappropriate to continue this topic.
Lin Minsheng glanced at the time. "It's almost time. Take Yangyang to the rooftop."
Fu Nian'an responded and turned to walk into the house.
Inside the room, Le Yan was nestled on the sofa, her small face now buried in an enamel mug.
Fu Nian'an: "..."
If we come in any later, will the little drunkard suffocate himself?
Fu Nian'an shook his head helplessly, walked over and squatted down in front of Le Yan.
He lifted her head and took the enamel cup from her hand.
Le Yan woke up groggily and saw Fu Nian'an. She smiled foolishly and said, "Mr. Fu, you've come to seduce me in my dream again."
Fu Nian'an: "..."
It seems the little girl has dreamed about him more than once.
This unexpected discovery made Fu Nian'an even happier.
He gently stroked the girl's delicate cheek with his fingertips. "It's almost midnight. Shall I take you to the rooftop to watch the fireworks?"
"OK!"
Le Yan opened her arms and said with a grin, "Carry me on your back!"
When drunk, a child's true nature is completely unleashed.
Fu Nian'an affectionately ruffled the top of her head. "Okay."
He placed the enamel mug on the tea table, turned his back, and said, "Come on up."
Le Yan climbed onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Mr. Fu's back is so broad and strong, it makes me feel so safe~"
Fu Nian'an chuckled softly, supporting her hips with his large hand as he stood up steadily.
As he walked upstairs step by step, Le Yan leaned against his back and softly hummed a Hokkien nursery rhyme she had learned as a child—
"It's getting dark, it's going to rain, Grandpa and A'an are hoeing..."
Her singing voice is ethereal, and even when she's drunk and her pitch is a bit off, it's still very distinctive.
This wasn't the first time Fu Nian'an had heard her sing.
In fact, during the past two weeks, he and Le Yan were separated by distance and did not meet. However, with their daily contact, he found that Le Yan appeared in his mind more and more frequently.
On countless quiet nights, he sat in front of his computer in his study, his fingertips sliding across the mouse, following Le Yan's various activities over the past ten years since her debut on Weibo and other social media platforms.
When Le Yan was 20 years old, she participated in a singing competition. Her ethereal voice once earned her a lot of praise. However, her good fortune did not last long. She was replaced by other artists after only recording three episodes of the show.
Fu Nian'an had specifically investigated and found that she was replaced by another female artist under Xing Zheng's management. Fu Nian'an didn't need to investigate further to guess the reason.
Xing Zheng's suppression and 'discipline' of Le Yan began from that time.
Since then, Le Yan has had more and more scandals, her career has plummeted, and she has gradually been marginalized until she was finally frozen out.
Liking someone starts with paying attention to them.
The more Fu Nian'an paid attention to Le Yan and the more she learned about her, the more heartbroken she felt for her experiences.
The real reason he made up his mind to take the initiative was because Shen Anning told him that Wen Songyi had turned down a film offer from a big director for Le Yan and was determined to join the opera troupe that Le Yan was currently training in, hoping to take advantage of the situation.
Although Fu Nian'an said that Wen Songyi would not succeed, she could not ignore the news for a long time.
From the moment he learned the news until he arrived here, a full three days passed, and his heart was still unable to truly find peace.
Shen Anning noticed his unusual behavior and went to the company to find him.
That day, Shen Anning said to her, "Brother, as a woman, I can tell you with certainty that Le Yan definitely likes you. But as you said, she's still too young, and given her background, she lacks confidence in her feelings. Because of her insecurity, I can guess that she intends to keep these feelings hidden forever. After all, she's a girl, and younger than you, so it's normal that she doesn't dare to confess. But if you like her too, then you should take the initiative. Be a man and be decisive. Don't hesitate and worry about this and that. Take the initiative, regardless of whether she's mature or not. If you like her, just go for it! A girlfriend you nurture can be sweet too!"
Fu Nian'an did not answer Shen Anning's question.
After Shen Anning left, he sat alone in the large office.
The phone screen was lit up, and Le Yan sent a picture of Le Xiaomiao.
In fact, they contact each other every day. If they weren't interested in each other, who would spend so much time maintaining a relationship every day?
Bang!
Bang!
Bang--
At midnight, the new year arrived amidst the explosions of countless fireworks!
Le Yan looked up at the dazzling fireworks, cheered, grabbed Fu Nian'an's arm, and shouted to him, "Mr. Fu, Happy New Year!"
Fu Nian'an lowered her head, looking at the girl with a sweet, excited smile, her eyes gentle and tender: "Yangyang, Happy New Year!"
The New Year's fireworks continued to bloom, and Fu Nian'an's image was deeply imprinted in Le Yan's eyes.
Suddenly, she raised her hand to encircle the man's neck, stood on tiptoe, tilted her chin up, and closed her eyes—
The moment the woman's soft lips touched his, Fu Nian'an froze.
A soft kiss, carrying the scent of wine, like a dragonfly skimming the water, very light and quick.
Fu Nian'an's heart stirred, his thick eyelashes fluttered, and then, as the girl retreated, his large hand wrapped around her from behind—
Before Le Yan could react, a large hand grabbed her waist and pulled her forward with a powerful force.
She fell into the man's arms, inhaling his cool, refreshing scent.
Fu Nian'an used his other hand to lift her chin, then lowered his head and kissed her slightly parted lips in surprise...
