Chapter 84
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and you could hear a "crunching" sound when you stepped on it. Wangcai was an Alaskan, the leader of the three sled dogs. Perhaps the heavy snow awakened his blood, and he rolled around happily.
Jiang Nuo quickly ordered: "Hold it! Don't let it into the garden!" There were his newly bought white plum trees in the garden. The saplings had just been planted and had not grown up yet. They could not withstand the rolling around of a big dog like Wangcai.
Gu Jiangkuo followed orders and grabbed the dog leash. Only he could hold back the adult Alaskan that was running around happily. But Wangcai was too excited and was strangled by the dog's neck, unable to rush forward. He was not discouraged and simply turned around, sticking out his tongue, wagging his tail, and whining and running around Jiang Nuo happily.
The dog leash was still in Gu Jiangkuo's hand. It was not a good idea to let it go, nor was it a good idea not to let it go. Soon, the two of them were tied together by the stupid dog with the leash.
However, the dog leash reached the end, and Wangcai could no longer run. He even used brute force to struggle and continue to rush forward. Gu Jiangkuo was afraid of strangling Jiang Nuo, so he finally let go. But the stupid dog's momentum was too great, and Master Jiang stumbled and was tripped by it. He fell backwards and fell directly into Gu Jiangkuo's arms. His center of gravity was unstable, and Gu Jiangkuo also fell to the ground on the snow, but he used both hands to protect Jiang Nuo from beginning to end and never let go.
Finally, Gu Jiangkuo held Jiang Nuo in his arms, while Jiang Nuo pinned him down, as they fell face to face into the snow. Wangcai, who was about to rush into the garden, paused suspiciously, sticking out his tongue and tilting his head. His sparkling blue eyes looked at his two owners curiously.
Jiang Nuo: “…”
If that stupid thing wasn't Lao Jiang's sweetheart, he would have stewed it.
The atmosphere between the two masters seemed a little subtle.
It was a bit like Jiang Nuo was pressing someone down, as if he wanted to do something to the other person. Young Master Jiang was embarrassed, and used his elbows to support Gu Jiangkuo's strong chest, trying to get up, but as soon as he exerted force, he felt a strong force from his back to his waist, and the whole person was carried back down.
Sometimes it's all about a clever move. Jiang Nuo was caught off guard by the pressure and had no foothold, so he fell all over. By the time he was a step behind to support himself on the ground, his mouth had already hit Gu Jiangkuo's lips.
“…………”
Even idol dramas wouldn't dare to act like this. Fortunately, the hit wasn't serious, otherwise it would have been an accident.
.
On the same New Year's Eve, Jiang Xiaomi was not as happy as he had imagined. He never expected that Lao Meiqin would express her longing for him so sincerely on the phone and beg him to come back to celebrate the New Year together in a tearful voice. But when he finally came, there was Pan Yian at home.
Jiang Su was really disgusted. Why was this man still living in his father's house?
However, whenever Jiang Su raised her voice, Lao Meiqin would start to look like she was about to cry. She had learned a new way to control her son. Jiang Su didn't argue with her during the Lunar New Year, but she still had a sullen face throughout.
However, Lao Meiqin was unwilling to give up. Together with Pan Yian, the two of them asked about Jiang Nuo and the company indirectly. They even got to the topic of equity and asked Jiang Nuo whether he had invested in Shengchen New Energy in the name of his bodyguard.
Anyway, all he talked about was business, which had nothing to do with the "missing his son" he said on the phone.
Jiang Su suddenly missed the time when his brother would ask him for a tutor and help him with his homework whenever he wanted. He was a little annoyed, but it seemed that only in front of Jiang Nuo could he be like a normal child, with someone to take care of him, just like when his father was alive.
Jiang Su naturally didn't answer a single word to Lao Meiqin's questions, which caused Lao Meiqin to get angry. "I don't know what Jiang Nuo has been talking about you! Why are you so ungrateful? Does he often say bad things about me in front of you, trying to drive a wedge between us mother and son? I know he has bad intentions when he wants custody of you! Xiao Su, don't fall for his tricks! I'm your real mother!"
"And these things he sent, they're not thoughtful at all! When have you ever seen me drink Cordyceps? He must have given me something that couldn't fit in the warehouse. You Jiang family members just look down on me!"
"Enough!" Jiang Su finally lost her patience. "I picked this Cordyceps. My brother told me to pick whatever I liked. He was the one who told me I should bring you a gift. He's never once said a bad word about you in front of me! Instead, he told me you'll always be my mother... Why do you always think the worst of people? You're always full of negativity?"
"I'm a bad guy? He's a bad guy to me! Whatever Jiang Nuo does is right! Whatever I do is wrong! I'm your mother, how could I possibly harm you?"
"I don't know if it hurts me or not, but you don't love me that much." Jiang Su said coldly, "Don't pretend to be a loving mother and call me again."
After saying this, Jiang Su went upstairs alone and locked himself in the room. His eyes were sore, but he didn't cry out loud. He just turned off the lights and covered himself with the quilt.
He actually wanted to go back immediately to his brother, but it was snowing so heavily outside that he didn't want to trouble the driver anymore, nor did he want to make his brother worry.
Let’s get through another night and go straight to school tomorrow as planned.
Fortunately, he still has a brother, and there are people in this world who care about him.
.
After that inexplicable kiss, Jiang Nuo finally pushed Gu Jiangkuo away, successfully got up, and while Gu Jiangkuo went to get firecrackers, she grabbed Wangcai and beat him up.
Although they beat the dog, the two were still afraid that the dog would get stressed, so they locked it back in the house before setting off firecrackers.
Jiang Nuo remembered that when he was a child, he would follow Jiang Xiaomi to set off firecrackers every New Year's Day and Spring Festival. He was not as brave as his younger brother. He did not dare to light the fuse until he was a teenager, and he did not even touch the lighter.
Ever since Lao Jiang passed away, it has been many years since I have been able to set off a string of firecrackers belonging to my family at such a close distance.
The roll was countless meters long, almost covering the entire length of the path in his garden. Gu Jiangkuo lit his lighter and began to warn, "Get ready!"
Jiang Nuo immediately closed his eyes and covered his ears.
A few seconds later, a pair of big hands covered his ears. Jiang Nuo's heart moved, and he opened his eyes, and saw a sea of fireworks bursting out in his yard, and the air was filled with the festive smell of sulfur. This was the first time he celebrated New Year's Day after his rebirth. He hadn't had this feeling for many years. There were unbridled firecrackers in front of him and a solid embrace behind him.
My heart has found a place to stay, this is the taste of home.
When the firecrackers burned out, Gu Jiangkuo turned him over again, his big hand still covering Jiang Nuo's, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you cold?"
Jiang Nuo nodded, "It's a bit cold."
By now he had stepped on enough snow, so he shrank his neck and said, "Let's go back."
As soon as I entered the hallway, before I had time to change my clothes, I heard the CCTV host on TV happily announce in a broadcasting voice: "The New Year's bell is about to ring, let's count down together!"
Jiang Nuo was stunned. Somehow, he thought back to his earlier fall in the snow. Did that brief contact count as a kiss? Couples would celebrate New Year's Eve together, dancing in bars, waiting for the "five, four, three, two, one" number on the big screen, counting down with the DJ, and then hugging and kissing at the last second.
It's a pity that there's no such atmosphere here. It's not passionate enough, it doesn't feel like love, it feels more like home, too cozy. Jiang Nuo smiled and said, "You say, we just tripped over Wangcai, does that count..."
"Not really." Gu Jiangkuo interrupted him.
Then, before Jiang Nuo could react, she held his face and kissed him.
The countdown on TV was counting down to the last second.
The warm atmosphere that Young Master Jiang had originally thought of was a complete misjudgment. Gu Jiangkuo tentatively touched his lips, and when he didn't feel any rejection, he immediately took advantage of the situation, pried open his teeth, and deepened the kiss.
After the kiss, both of them were a little out of breath. Jiang Nuo was breathless from the kiss, while Gu Jiangkuo was excited, as if he had been holding it in for a long time and finally found a reasonable reason to taste the delicacy. He stroked Nuo Nuo's face with his thumb, "That one doesn't count, this one does."
Young Master Jiang was still panting due to lack of oxygen. There was a layer of shiny water stains on his lips, which were slightly open. Gu Jiangkuo did not take his eyes away from that place and asked in a hoarse voice, "I didn't ask for your consent. You are not angry, right?"
...Jiang Nuo was a little embarrassed. Why would he need consent for something like this?
"Of course not—ugh!"
So the rest of the words were stuck in my mouth.
