come out?
Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you coming to my doorstep?"
“Yes,” Shen Jingnian replied.
Jiang Ning was a little confused, but she still put on her down jacket, changed into her boots, and walked out the door.
It's been snowing in Beijing for the past few days.
Although it's stopped snowing now, there's still a thick layer of snow in the yard, which crunches underfoot.
It has a great sense of rhythm.
We went outside.
I didn't see anything different.
Just as Jiang Ning took out her phone to send a message to Shen Jingnian, a shadow suddenly fell upon her, enveloping her completely.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw the man's sharply defined features.
She was stunned.
"Miss Jiang, Happy New Year!"
It wasn't until Shen Jingnian spoke that Jiang Ning realized she wasn't dreaming.
This is true.
Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly and continued, "The Shen Group headquarters is in Beijing. I have some things to take care of in Beijing, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year in advance."
"I see. I also wish Mr. Shen a Happy New Year."
“Oh, right, Ningning,” Shen Jingnian took a clear glass bottle out of the bag, “this is for you.”
The glass bottle appeared to contain some white cotton, and it was sealed with a cork.
"What is this?" Jiang Ning asked curiously as she took the bottle.
"The first snow in City A," Shen Jingnian continued. "Weren't you disappointed that you couldn't see the first snow in City A in person? So, I brought it for you."
Jiang Ning then realized that the bottle was cold. "Thank you, you're so thoughtful!"
She never expected that her casual remark would be taken to heart by Shen Jingnian.
If Shen Jingnian weren't against marriage, Jiang Ning might even have started to misunderstand and wonder if he was pursuing her.
So now, their relationship is purely brotherly!
"And this too." Shen Jingnian took out a thick red envelope from the bag. "New Year's money."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen!" Jiang Ning accepted the red envelope with both hands, bowed to him, and said, "May you have a prosperous New Year, Mr. Shen."
"What are you thanking me for? You're my savior. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today." Shen Jingnian continued, "I happen to have nothing to do tonight. Shall we go set off fireworks? I checked, and there's a place about 50 kilometers away that specializes in setting off fireworks."
“But I didn’t buy fireworks,” Jiang Ning said.
Fireworks are not allowed here, so Jiang Ning didn't buy any.
"It's okay, I'll buy it."
“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded, “then let’s go set off fireworks.”
Shen Jingnian opened the passenger door and said, "Get in."
Jiang Ning sat in the warm passenger seat.
Chinese New Year.
The journey was very lively.
Jiang Ning was in a good mood. She took out her phone, skillfully connected it via Bluetooth, and started playing Peking Opera.
As Shen Jingnian drove, he said, "Ningning, there are drinks in the cabinet on the center console. You can help yourself."
"Okay, I'm not thirsty."
About an hour and a half later, we arrived at the fireworks display area.
Although this is the suburbs, it's Chinese New Year today, so there are a lot of people and it's very lively.
Shen Jingnian prepared a trunk full of fireworks.
There were big fireworks.
There are also small sparklers and fairy wands.
Shen Jingnian first took the large firework out of the trunk, "Ningning, shall we set off this first?"
"Okay," Jiang Ning continued, "Did you bring a lighter?"
"I brought it."
Jiang Ning then said, "Then I'll light the fire."
Shen Jingnian held a firework in his hand. "The lighter is in my coat pocket. Take it yourself."
"good."
Jiang Ning already considered Shen Jingnian his best brother, so he naturally didn't stand on ceremony with him and reached into Shen Jingnian's pocket to take out a lighter.
The instant Jiang Ning reached into Shen Jingnian's coat pocket, Shen Jingnian clearly heard his heartbeat.
Like a sudden storm.
Bang bang bang.
He looked down and saw Jiang Ning's profile.
Refined and elegant.
My heart started pounding even harder.
I can barely breathe.
