Chapter 279 Baby, Happy New Year!
The housekeeper neatly arranged the various fireworks in the backyard and specially prepared half a box of handheld fireworks for Lu Shiman under the eaves.
When the number jumped to 23:57, he knocked on the carved wooden door of the chess and card room: "Miss, young masters, it's time to prepare to welcome the new year."
Lu Shiman was worried about the hand full of mixed cards. Upon hearing this, he immediately threw the cards on the table and took away Ji Linshen and Lu Qiyun's cards.
She raised her chin and announced, "Truce!"
Lu Qiyun flicked the crumpled King of Spades away with his fingers and glanced at the scattered deck of cards: "Swindler."
Lu Yannan slowly pushed open the sandalwood chip box, and the ivory bone tiles and black jade chips collided with each other like rings and jade pendants.
At the card table, three people were dejected and used their mobile phones to transfer money to Lu Yannan.
"Thank you." He turned his phone screen to everyone, and the transfer notification sounds rang out one after another.
"Lu Shiman." A deep voice stopped the figure about to step over the threshold: "Come here!"
Lu Shiman let go of Ji Linshen's hand and ran to Lu Yannan: "Brother, you're calling me like a dog. Next time when you call me, can you separate the two characters of my name and the last word?"
Lu Yannan smiled softly and rubbed her head: "Manman is so good."
"Brother!" Lu Shiman felt that this was more like calling a dog.
"If you win money, I'll give you dividends." Lu Yannan's slender fingers flew across the screen, transferring all the winnings to Lu Shiman.
"Thank you, brother~" Lu Shiman looked at the transfer message and smiled.
"Let's go and set off the fireworks." Lu Yannan stood up: "Wear more clothes, it's cold outside."
Lu Shiman walked quickly to Ji Linshen, turned around suddenly, and smiled: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, hurry up."
Ji Linshen put his coat on Lu Shiman, put on a scarf, and put a hat on her before pulling her out.
The bluestone tiles in the front yard, covered with snow and still cold, were chilly, and the fairy wands prepared by the housekeeper were sparkling with golden and red light in the wicker basket.
Lu Shiman secretly resented this behavior of treating herself like a child, but she took the fireworks very neatly.
Ji Linshen held the lighter in his palm and handed it to him. The moment the flame leaped up, more than a dozen golden-red fire lines pierced the night sky.
Fireworks bloomed in the air. Lu Shiman looked up at the gorgeous fireworks, his expression dazed for a moment.
Lu Shiman looked up at the blooming flame-colored peony, his pupils reflected like transparent obsidian.
"Be careful." Lu Qijun's voice came from the right, and he held the windproof lighter to light the second firework for her.
Under the waterfall of silver-blue light, Lu Shiman saw several brothers standing in the dark of the eaves.
Lu Yannan was adjusting his cufflinks with his head down, Lu Jianheng was looking at the sky with one hand in his pocket, and Xie Yi was waving the fireworks in his hand.
Lu Chixu held up his mobile phone to record her silhouette reflected on the snow.
Lu Shiman glanced at several people one by one, and the frost on her eyelashes fell off with every blink of an eye.
It feels like a dream, everything in the dream is beautiful, but it is not real.
Ji Linshen hugged her from behind, his warm breath penetrated the gap of the fur collar: "Baby."
He leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder, his vibrating chest making a muffled sound against her back: "Happy New Year."
The clock struck twelve in the distance, breaking through the roar of fireworks, and Lu Shiman suddenly clutched her scarf tightly.
Ji Linshen's bony palm covered the back of her hand holding the fireworks, and his body temperature seeped into her knuckles.
The heartbeats of the people behind her, the repeated shouts of "Beware of Sparks" from her brothers, and the crunching sound of the housekeeper's feet on the snow, wove a dense net that pulled her back from the clouds.
She tilted her head and brushed her nose against his chin, the crisp scent of cedar mixed with the smell of gunpowder.
Ji Linshen lowered his eyes to look at her, his pupils dyed into flowing amber by the fireworks, and the tip of her frozen red nose was reflected in the depths of his pupils.
Lu Shiman unconsciously licked her dry lips, watching her reflection in his eyes flickering with the fireworks.
"Be careful, it's hot." Lu Jianheng suddenly came in and stuffed a cup of hot cocoa into her empty hand.
Lu Shiman leaned back in a hurry, and the back of her head hit Ji Linshen's chest. The cocoa splashed out in half a circle, leaving dark marks on the snow.
Lu Chixu's camera immediately turned over here, and Lu Yannan's light cough mixed with Xie Yi's undisguised laughter spread into the night wind.
Ji Linshen held her hand holding the firework stick in this position and ignited the last golden fire tree.
At the moment when millions of sparks soared into the sky, Lu Shiman felt something soft brushing against his earlobe.
Ji Linshen lowered his head to hide the smile on his lips, and his nose brushed across her red, frozen earlobes: "Sir, do you have a New Year's gift for your lover?"
Lu Shiman turned around, put her arms around his waist, and chuckled, "Of course I have it. If other kids have it, you must have it too."
"Ahem...Lu Shiman, you have no bones?" Lu Chixu put away his phone and pushed away Lu Jianheng who was blocking his way.
The sudden roar startled Lu Yannan, who raised his hand and slapped Lu Chixu on the back of the head: "You're so jumpy, like a donkey."
When Lu Shiman heard her elder brother's description, she leaned against Ji Linshen's chest and laughed out loud.
After setting off the fireworks, Lu Yannan gave red envelopes to everyone.
When the message reached Ji Linshen, Lu Yannan's hand trembled slightly.
Ji Linshen pretended not to see his trembling hand, took the red envelope, and raised the corners of his lips in a well-behaved arc: "Thank you, big brother."
Lu Yannan's toes hidden in his slippers involuntarily exerted force. He withdrew his hands and placed them on the sides of his legs, stroking the seams of his pants with his fingers without saying a word.
Lu Shiman received 5 red envelopes, and Ji Linshen also received 5.
He placed ten thick red envelopes on the table, arranged them in a fan shape, took a photo and sent it to Qin Jiaojiao.
Lu Shiman: [Look at the New Year's money my lover and I received.]
Lu Shiman: [Picture]
Lu Shiman: [Transfer 52,000 yuan]
Lu Shiman: [The New Year's money is for the best Jiaojiao in the world.]
When Qin Jiaojiao received the message from Lu Shiman, she was fighting with Huo Beiyan in the car.
In a serious fight, perhaps it should be said that she unilaterally beat Huo Beiyan.
His fists smashed into Huo Beiyan's chest, each one carrying a heavy dose of resentment. He muttered as he struck him, "Why didn't you let me stay and listen? Why did you take me away?"
Huo Beiyan leaned lazily against the chair, letting her hold his wrist and push it over his head, his eyes full of smiles, and from time to time he cooperated with her 'beating' and shouted a few times.
"I'm really fed up with you, Huo Beiyan, Huo is a moron, Huo is an idiot!" Qin Jiaojiao was really mad to death.
It has been a while since she posted new content to the gossip group, and tonight she finally had the chance to hear some explosive gossip.
She had prepared the melon seeds and peanuts, and was excited and eager to get started.
result...
This person said hello to his relatives and left with her?
Just left!
Huo Beiyan broke free from her restraints, holding down her hand that was beating her chest with one hand, and holding her waist with the other: "What's so good about the gossips of ...
"What do you know? What do you know? Only the gossip of their generation is explosive!" Qin Jiaojiao was furious.
"Have you ever heard of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting together?"
"Have you ever heard of your husband sleeping with his son?"
"Huo Beiyan, you haven't heard anything, why do you take me away!" Qin Jiaojiao roared.
Huo Beiyan was still digesting those two sentences.
What's going on?
