New Year's Eve
As New Year’s Day approaches, the streets and alleys are filled with the flavor of the New Year.
Suburban villa.
Because everyone moved in after Christmas, except for Bai Xindi and Qiao Ya who had to go out for work, everyone else worked from home. Chen Xi was a student and was on vacation, so she was the only one watching TV in the living room.
By the afternoon, Lu Heng had been in meetings all day and felt a little hungry, so he put down his computer and left the room.
Lu Heng stretched himself to the stairs. The whole villa was surprisingly quiet, with only the sound of the TV on the first floor. He was about to go down when he suddenly heard a familiar laugh.
He paused at the stairs and looked in the direction of the sound. From his perspective, he could only see half of the head. The show on TV was a very popular reality show.
Lu Heng lowered his eyes, not knowing whether he should go down, and was thinking about it.
"Lu Heng? What are you doing?"
Bai Jingxing appeared behind him at some point.
Lu Heng came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's okay." Then he walked downstairs.
Seeing this, Bai Jingxing also went downstairs.
Shen Xi was so engrossed in watching TV that he didn't notice someone coming down.
Lu Heng tiptoed to the kitchen.
Bai Jingxing looked at his back, then looked at his own house, and suddenly had a good idea, so he quickly walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Shen Xi!"
"ah!"
Shen Xi was startled. After seeing the person coming, she covered her heart and complained.
"Brother Jingxing, this is scary! I'm going to tell Sister Qiao!"
As he spoke, he picked up the phone. Seeing this, Bai Jingxing snatched it away and spoke with a smile.
"Spend less time on your phone, it's bad for your eyes."
Shen Xi was shocked. "Brother Jingxing, are you crazy?"
Bai Jingxing laughed twice, then suddenly took out his mobile phone and transferred a small amount of money to Shen Xi's bank card account, and then returned it to Shen Xi.
"Just a favor, here's the fee."
Shen Xi took the phone and saw the balance in it. His eyes widened and he stuttered a little.
"Brother Jingxing, you you you, me me me."
Bai Jingxing didn't say anything, but looked at Chen Xi kindly.
Shen Xi looked up from her phone and saw Bai Jingxing's expression, and instantly felt like she was holding a hot potato in her hand.
"Brother Jingxing, you're even scarier like this."
Bai Jingxing stopped teasing her and stated his request.
"It's like this, Sister Qiao and Xiao Di haven't come back yet, and Xian Qing and I have something to do later."
"Look, it's New Year's Eve tonight, and the house is still so clean."
Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and said uncertainly, "So you come to harm a clear and stupid college student like me?"
Bai Jingxing said, "Hey! You're wrong. Isn't there another person?" He pointed at Lu Heng who had just come out of the kitchen.
Chen Xi threw the phone to Bai Jingxing and said, "This is for you." Then he continued watching TV.
Seeing this, Bai Jingxing pretended to be pitiful.
"Chen Xi, listen to me. Brother Jingxing promises that he won't say a word to you, and there won't be any physical contact. Just think of it as a favor."
Bai Jingxing was certain that Chen Xi would agree. After all, after getting to know her for some time, he knew that Chen Xi was a soft-hearted person, otherwise she would not live under the same roof with Lu Heng.
As expected, Shen Xi reluctantly took the phone and said, "I know."
Seeing that the plan was successful, Bai Jingxing immediately got up and went to the kitchen to tell Lu Heng about it.
......
"Really!"
Bai Jingxing immediately covered his mouth and said, "Be quiet."
"No need to thank me, just remember to transfer me double the money."
Lu Heng immediately took out his mobile phone and transferred three times the amount of money to Bai Jingxing's account.
Bai Jingxing opened his phone and looked at it. He immediately looked at Lu Heng with a gratified expression, "Lu Heng, you are a very capable person."
Lu Heng, who was originally very happy, suddenly became sad.
"Brother Jingxing, this isn't good. What if she hates me even more?"
Bai Jingxing patted his shoulder and whispered.
"Don't worry, this is just the first step."
"Go ahead and don't worry."
Lu Heng nodded, then left the kitchen and went upstairs to his room.
Bai Jingxing sent a message on his phone in the kitchen before going back upstairs.
However, he did not go back to the third floor. Instead, he went to the door of Xian Qing's room on the second floor and knocked.
Xian Qing was reviewing the details and contestants of all the competitions over the years in the room. He got up and opened the door when he heard someone knocking on it.
"Bai Jingxing, what's the matter?"
Bai Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "Can you at least call me brother? The generations are all messed up."
Xian Qing just stared at him without saying a word.
Bai Jingxing didn't waste any more time talking to him and spoke in a low voice.
"That's right, you'll go out with me to find my wife later."
Xian Qing looked at the fool and raised his hand to close the door.
“Ahhhhh!”
Seeing this, Bai Jingxing quickly blocked it with his hands and added, "And your wife!"
Xian Qing stopped closing the door and said, "Come in."
Bai Jingxing went in immediately and closed the door.
Xian Qing sat back on the sofa, and Bai Jingxing also sat down.
"What's going on?"
Xian Qing spoke calmly.
Bai Jingxing spoke proudly.
"It's like this. Chen Xi and Lu Heng will go out to buy things to decorate the house. We will go pick up Xiao Di and my wife to buy hot pot ingredients."
Xian Qing captured the important information and felt somewhat confused.
"You convinced her like that?"
Bai Jingxing smirked, "Call me brother and I'll tell you."
Xian Qing said indifferently, "I don't want to know." Then he stood up, put on his clothes and scarf, and said, "Let's go."
Bai Jingxing looked at Xian Qing, feeling really bored, then touched his nose and said, "Wait for me to go upstairs and get dressed."
Xian Qing nodded and went downstairs to wait for him.
Chen Xi was still sitting on the sofa with the TV still on, but she had no interest in the variety show at the moment.
Chen Xi noticed Xian Qing coming downstairs neatly dressed, so he asked casually.
"Going out with Brother Jingxing?"
Xian Qing replied, "Yeah."
When Chen Xi wanted to ask something, Bai Jingxing also came down dressed neatly, so she didn't have the chance to ask anything.
Bai Jingxing went to the entrance to put on his shoes and said, "Let's go."
Xian Qing put on his shoes and went out the door first. Bai Jingxing did not forget to give him instructions when he closed the door.
"Chen Xi, it's getting late. I'll talk to Lu Heng and you should leave as soon as possible."
Shen Xi looked at the time, then turned his head to look upstairs, wondering what he was thinking.
Then he turned off the TV, got up and went back to his room.
About twenty minutes later, Shen Xi and Lu Heng opened the door almost at the same time.
Their rooms were the farthest apart, and after looking at each other, they immediately looked away.
Shen Xi went downstairs first, and Lu Heng followed closely behind.
After going out, Lu Heng took the keys and drove the car. Chen Xi did not sit in the passenger seat, but in the diagonal back seat.
Neither of them said a word in the car, and Shen Xi didn't even look at his phone.
Lu Heng noticed through the rearview mirror that Chen Xi was dressed with some care today, a red coat with a white scarf, two low buns on her hair, no makeup on, but her cheeks were a little red, probably because she was cold.
It was a bit cute, and Lu Heng's mouth corners unconsciously turned up, and his fear and worry disappeared in an instant.
Chen Xi looked out the window with his eyes lowered. He seemed to be dressed up today, but doesn't he do this often? What's so strange about it?
“Not a single day goes by”
Music suddenly started playing in the car, bringing Shen Xi back to her senses. She glanced at the rearview mirror and met Lu Heng's gaze again.
“Show me what is through my mind”
The two moved away again, but this time each wanted to follow their own heart.
“I know it’s over but I can’t deny”
“I’m still missing you”
......
