Chapter 105 Snowflake Pendant
Most of the winter has passed, and New Year's Eve is here in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Wendong first took Qi Yanxue to the hospital to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Wen Lu.
Wen Lu's hair almost fell out due to chemotherapy, so she wore a knitted hat to cover it up, leaving only her face, whose color had almost recovered.
Wen Lu was originally worried about the inconvenience in the hospital, but her son-in-law arranged everything perfectly, almost preparing a full banquet in the ward.
Zhu Wendong picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into Wen Lu's bowl.
Wen Lu had a kind smile on her face. Thinking of what happened two days ago, she asked, "Why did he leave?"
Understanding her implication, Zhu Wendong said, "Brain tumor."
Wen Lu didn't say anything else. She watched her son-in-law constantly putting food into her daughter's bowl. His eyes seemed to be growing bigger as he ate.
Wen Lu couldn't help laughing and couldn't help asking, "Have you set a date for your wedding?"
Zhu Wendong: "It's settled. We'll do it in the spring."
Wen Lu asked, "Are you planning a honeymoon?"
As a mother, I worry about whether my daughter is living a good life and whether she is being treated unfairly. I want to care about everything.
Zhu Wendong: "After the Chinese New Year, I plan to travel around to various places."
Staring at the increasingly high pile of food in the bowl, Zhu Wendong nudged the person beside him with his arm and lowered his voice: "That's enough, there's too much for me to finish."
Qi Yanxue lowered his eyes and said "Oh" softly.
In the second half, Ansheng did not give her any more pinches.
After the meal, Wen Lu was tired. She forced her eyelids open, took out two bright red paper bags from under her pillow and handed them to them.
"Happy New Year."
There was no reason for Qi Yanxue, a man worth over 100 million, to accept a red envelope. He took two steps back and said, "Mom, I won't accept the red envelope."
Wen Lu was firm in her attitude and forcefully stuffed one into his hand. She also stuffed the other into Zhu Wendong's arms and said, "Just take it if you give it to me. Don't be polite."
She waved at them and sleepily dismissed them, "Go back if you have nothing else to do. I'm going to sleep."
"You... take care of yourself."
Zhu Wendong held it in for a long time before finally uttering these words. Seeing that Ms. Wen Lu looked sleepy, he walked out of the ward and said the last words.
"Happy New Year."
-
Zhu Wendong was led out of the hospital by Qi Yanxue. The streets were bustling with people, the stalls were steaming, and the crunchy sound of chewing candied haws showed the life of the world.
The flow of people in Jiangbei also reached its peak today.
A few words of conversation between passers-by could be heard.
"The fireworks display at Jiangbei Bridge is about to begin. Hurry up, or you'll miss it!"
"How can we walk fast with so many people here? We can see everything from here anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"If you stand here, you can only see the fireworks butt. Hurry up!"
…
After listening to the passerby's words, Zhu Wendong turned his head and asked him, "Hey, it's a fireworks display. I heard it's great. Should we go?"
Her eyes were bright, her nose and cheeks were red from the wind, and her lips were soft and bright red.
The cute look makes people feel itchy.
Qi Yanxue raised her hand and pulled up the scarf that she had placed on her chin, covering half of her face and leaving only a pair of cat-sized eyes exposed before she stopped.
"Didn't you hear them say there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze through?"
Zhu Wendong's face seemed to be covered with a mask, and her breath sprayed back at her, making her feel uncomfortable. She pulled her hands down, but was pulled back up by Qi Yanxue with an expressionless face.
"..." Zhu Wendong was powerless to resist, "I feel uncomfortable!"
Qi Yanxue made a concession, only revealing the tip of her small, round nose, and said leisurely, "Your face is red from the cold, but you have to be patient."
Zhu Wendong dragged out the last word and deliberately said in a gloomy tone: "I know, big ~ cry ~ bag ~"
Qi Yanxue laughed and gently pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, "Are you still going to the fireworks display?"
Zhu Wendong was puzzled: "Didn't you say there were too many people to squeeze in?"
Qi Yanxue took her hand and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd, "Who said you can only watch it by the bridge?"
The place Qi Yanxue brought her to was the rooftop of an office building. It had a wide view and the Jiangbei Bridge was across the way, which was in full view.
When Zhu Wendong came up, he saw the big words "Liaodong Biology" on the side of the building and asked, "Isn't this the company that Qi Kancheng crushed when you were in college?"
Qi Yanxue's gaze fell on the bridge in the distance and he said "hmm".
Zhu Wendong leaned half of his body against him and said slowly, "Qi Yanxue, you are really amazing."
"You only realize how powerful I am now?"
"No, I knew that a long time ago."
Qi Yanxue pressed on: "How long ago?"
Zhu Wendong thought for a second, "Probably during college. You were the professor's favorite and a regular on the campus wall."
As soon as the words fell.
"Bang——"
In the distance, a row of fireworks exploded by the bridge, dazzling and brilliant. The light poured down like a waterfall, filling half of the night and sprinkling on the crowd with wishes for the new year.
Zhu Wendong stared at the fireworks, her delicate little face was illuminated, her skin looked even colder and whiter, and her lips were as delicate as flower stamens.
"Qi Yanxue, make a wish quickly."
She faced the direction of the fireworks, clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
Qi Yanxue stared at her with his dark eyes, not moving, and pursed his lips lightly, "Make a wish to me faster, baby."
Fireworks exploded in his ears. Zhu Wendong didn't know if he heard anything, but he just said his wish, "I hope there will be snow every winter."
The sound was very small, like the whisper of a mosquito, lost in the sound of fireworks exploding again and again.
The fireworks stopped for a second, the wind stopped and the birds rested, and Qi Yanxue's voice, as clear as spring water, came clearly.
"Open your eyes, baby."
Zhu Wendong slowly opened his eyes.
He opened his clenched fist and a necklace fell out, with a snowflake-shaped pendant hanging at the end. It was so bright that it looked like falling stardust, dazzling and eye-catching.
The fireworks bloom for one second, and the pendant shines for a moment.
Zhu Wendong gently caught the falling snowflakes with his fingertips, his eyes almost overflowing with admiration as he murmured, "What beautiful snowflakes."
It was a cold night, but the pendant in Qi Yanxue's hand was warm.
Half of his face was exposed to the fireworks, and in the semi-light and semi-darkness, he looked dignified and calm.
"Snow won't leave winter, I'll make it happen for you."
Everyone loves sunny spring and summer, but he insists on having snow in winter.
Snowflakes hang on the branches and fall on the shoulders. There is snow everywhere, and there is endless white wherever you look.
Qi Yanxue helped Zhu Wendong put it on his neck. The snowflake with a strong presence was printed on his chest, making up for the missing red rope and the butterfly necklace from his childhood.
The fireworks stopped, Qi Yanxue lowered his eyes and helped her put the scarf back on.
Zhu Wendong tilted his head to look at his eyelashes, which were as long as butterfly feathers, and said with a faint smile, "Going home?"
Qi Yanxue took her hand and said, "Well, let's go."
