Ruan Cunyun and Xu Feifei had agreed to take a taxi to the airport together, so Qin Fanglu did not go to see Ruan Cunyun off. He only sent him a message on WeChat saying "Happy New Year, arrived safely."
Xu Feifei shook her head with half of her headphones on, and the city scenery flashed by through the taxi window.
He took off his headphones and asked Ruan Cunyun, "Why did you suddenly hang up on me yesterday? Are you feeling unwell?"
When Ruan Cunyun was mentioned, he became angry. He said quietly, "You almost killed me."
Xu Feifei didn't understand: "Why?"
Ruan Cunyun stared at him and said, "You'll know when you fall in love."
After saying that, Ruan Cunyun sighed, "I guess I won't be able to wait in this lifetime."
"Don't curse me on New Year's Day!" Xu Feifei shook Ruan Cunyun frantically, "I have a premonition. I can foresee that in the new year I will meet a great beauty from another dimension who is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers - and then we will finally get married!"
Ruan Cunyun held his hand tightly and encouraged him, "Xu Feifei, wake up."
Xu Feifei quickly picked up the phone and spoke to his mother with a beaming expression.
Going to Xu Feifei's house is even more pleasant than going back to my own home.
At that time, not only did Ruan's father not ask their names, he also repeatedly asked Ruan Cunyun to "have less contact with them."
"Okay." Father Ruan said, "Put on a scarf. It's cold today."
"Let's go, let's go back quickly. The food is getting cold." Xu Feifei grabbed Ruan Cunyun, "My mother is here."
While waiting for the flight, Ruan Cunyun received a call from his father.
Ruan Cunyun looked up and saw his father.
Xu Feifei's family is an ordinary working class, living in an ordinary community, with a small house, a tank of goldfish, and a car. Their material conditions are not as good as Ruan Cunyun's family, but Ruan Cunyun envied Xu Feifei very much.
"Happy New Year." Father Ruan said, "I'm not sure what you young people like, so I bought some food anyway."
After Ruan's father left, Xu Feifei pulled Ruan Cunyun and said, "Aren't you going back with your father?"
I envy his mother for supporting his hobbies and I envy them for leading an ordinary but happy life.
Xu Feifei was flattered and said, "Oh, that's not necessary!"
Before going to the comic convention, they would put on makeup and get dressed at Xu Feifei's house. Ruan Cunyun would deposit all the comic books and other things he secretly bought with Xu Feifei. Xu's mother even helped Ruan Cunyun mend a Lolita skirt by sewing the sparkling beads back onto the hem.
His father paused for a moment and asked, "Is it the friend who used to play... anime with you?"
Father Ruan said after a while: "Okay, I'll go back first."
The first question Mr. Ruan asked was, “Are you waiting for the flight?”, and Ruan Cunyun said, “Yes.” The second question he asked was, “Are you alone?”, and Ruan Cunyun said, “I have a friend.”
Ruan Cunyun pursed his lips.
Xu Feifei's mother had known Ruan Cunyun since high school. Because Xu Feifei was lively and always brought his classmates home to play, and Ruan Cunyun had the same interests as him, they went together more often.
Xu Feifei pushed Ruan Cunyun and said, "Come to our house for dinner later. My dad made smoked sausages with the traditional taste. My mom also made fermented rice balls specially for you, just like them!"
Xu Feifei stood up suddenly: "Wow, Uncle Ruan, hello."
he said yes."
"What's his name?" asked Father Ruan.
Ruan Cunyun also stood up and saw his father handing a pile of New Year's goods to Xu Feifei.
Ruan Cunyun pulled his sleeve: "Hey, don't rush Auntie."
As expected, Haicheng was really cold. I felt a gust of chill as soon as I got off the plane.
"Uncle, you're so polite." Xu Feifei said excitedly, "You even gave me food!"
"Hello, hello." Father Ruan greeted Xu Feifei with faint smile lines at the corners of his eyes.
"Here." Ruan Cunyun stuffed the food into Xu Feifei's hand, turned around and said to his father, "Dad, I have an appointment to have lunch at Feifei's house and come back in the evening."
Father Ruan coughed and said, "Your mother is at the company today and has no time to come."
"Wow, I finally get to see my uncle." Xu Feifei shook her head. "You always said he was busy before, but after a few years I finally get to see him. Hahaha."
Xu Feifei's home is simply their little base.
Ruan Cunyun pouted: "I'm going to eat it all!"
Ruan Cunyun received a warm welcome as soon as he entered the door. Father Xu stuffed a bag of sausages into Ruan Cunyun's hand and said, "Take it home to eat." Mother Xu put down the car keys and ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes, calling the two children to eat.
When he was in high school, Ruan's father never cared about the names of his friends, because he didn't like Ruan Cunyun associating with these "unserious" friends, and thought that Ruan Cunyun's liking for such messy culture was probably caused by them.
After a while, Ruan Cunyun said, "His name is Xu Feifei."
Ruan Cunyun was stunned. This seemed to be the first time he heard the word "animation" from his father's mouth, instead of some messy alias.
"He made an appointment with you for dinner." Ruan Cunyun smiled, "He didn't tell me he would come to the airport."
“…Oh.” Ruan Cunyun sat on the chair without moving.
"Your mother's phone number." Ruan Cunyun pointed at Xu Feifei's phone and reminded him, "Then your mother is better, isn't she treating me to meals for several years?"
Xu Feifei shouted into the cold wind: "Hey, Mom! I'm at Terminal 1, why are you at Terminal 1? Well, Xiaoyun is with me, we're freezing to death, so let's go in and wait for you!"
Xu Feifei got angry: "You dare!" The two of them started arguing with laughter, and suddenly they heard someone shouting "Ruan Cunyun".
Ruan Cunyun only brought a box of fruit, and Xu's parents said to him, "Xiao Ruan is so unfamiliar, why did he bring anything?"
The topics at the dinner table seemed endless. Xu's mother asked them how their work in Shenzhen was and whether they were tired. Xu Feifei shouted, "Not tired at all!"
Ruan Cunyun also said "very good". Xu Feifei glanced at him and laughed wildly. Then she turned around and sold Ruan Cunyun out, saying bluntly: "It's really good. His boss is so handsome. I became his boyfriend. I'm so happy to work with my boyfriend every day!"
Ruan Cunyun buried his head in eating sausages and asked Xu Feifei to "stop talking".
Mother Xu despised her son: "What about you? You are in your twenties and you have never been in love. Why can't you date your boss like Xiaoyun?"
"No!" Xu Feifei was horrified, "My boss is a bald fat man."
"Then you can bring back a decent-looking guy." Mother Xu sighed, "I'm so worried."
Xu Feifei stiffened his neck: "I'm a straight man!"
"Okay." Ruan Cunyun stuffed a fish ball into Xu Feifei's mouth, "Straight man, eat quickly."
After dinner, Ruan Cunyun and Xu Feifei went into their otaku happy room.
Ruan Cunyun crossed his legs and started a video chat in the group.
"Why are you calling them?" Xu Feifei asked, raising her neck.
"Didn't we agree to set a specific time for the release of the Hanfu feature film?" Ruan Cunyun angrily threw his phone, "We are too good at procrastinating. Tomorrow is the tenth day of the Chinese New Year, and we haven't decided on a date today. By the time we all go out for dinner tomorrow, there will be no time to decide!"
"Oh, yes, yes." Xu Feifei smiled foolishly while sleeping on the lazy sofa, "I forgot about it, hehe."
The phone rang several times before the other end picked up. The video image was blurry and chaotic. I could vaguely see Qi Chang's big face and the residual shadow of Bai Qiangwei beside him.
"We are in the theme park," Qi Chang shouted, "We are playing the Spin Cup!"
Ruan Cunyun was convinced by the two men: "Then wait until you are done playing before we talk!"
When the noise finally stopped, Bai Qiangwei climbed onto Qi Chang's arm, and they both sat down in the rest area with weak limbs.
White Rose asked: "What?"
Ruan Cunyun said with a headache: "We haven't decided on the specific time to release the feature film yet. Last time they only said it would be during the Spring Festival, but there are seven days off during the Spring Festival!"
"Oh. This matter." Qi Chang suddenly realized.
Xu Feifei has already picked up the game controller and is playing games with netizens. She has rarely offered useful and constructive suggestions: "I think these two days are not very good. On the tenth day of the lunar year, everyone is eating New Year's Eve dinner, and on the first day of the lunar year, everyone is visiting relatives and friends. It's better to wait until we return to Shenzhen to post."
Ruan Cunyun counted with his fingers: "What about the fourth and fifth days of the New Year?"
"Okay." Qi Chang said.
Bai Qiangwei slammed the table and said, "When you two come back, the four of us will definitely have fun for a whole day! We'll rent a small villa in the suburbs, have a barbecue in the yard, play games, and so on. We'll post it that day, and we can also enjoy everyone's praise together."
"Great!" Xu Feifei raised her feet in agreement.
Qi Chang suddenly coughed: "Hey, you, will you bring your family with you?"
Xu Feifei was playing games without even looking up: "My mother is not in Shenzhen, how can I get here?"
Bai Qiangwei laughed: "Xu Feifei, who asked you?"
Ruan Cunyun, who was obviously called out, hesitated: "... Well, is this appropriate?"
"Oh, why is it inappropriate!" Bai Qiangwei rushed to the camera, "I know what you are worried about. You are just worried that your domineering boyfriend won't get along with us! Don't worry, your sister Qiangwei deals with people in high positions like this every day, so it will be easy for her to catch him!"
"And you two have been together for a while." White Rose said dissatisfiedly, "We haven't even had the interview yet, and you let that guy take our cabbage away. How can this be justified?"
Qi Chang nodded: "We can have a barbecue, watch TV, make dumplings, and interview my brother-in-law. What a healthy and positive Spring Festival activity."
Ruan Cunyun held his forehead with his hand: "Aren't we going to release the Hanfu feature film that day?"
"It's just a matter of pressing a button! Your big boss definitely doesn't visit Weibo." Bai Qiangwei scolded, "You're hiding from this?"
Ruan Cunyun smiled, thinking that he was indeed overthinking: "Okay, then I'll go ask him if he has time."
Xu Feifei cried out in grievance: "Damn, you really don't care about the feelings of a single dog like me!"
Ruan Cunyun hugged him and said, "I will pass on my power to help you escape from being single. Please pray that our Feifei will be taken away by someone this year."
After playing with Xu Feifei for an entire afternoon, Ruan Cunyun finally returned home carrying the large and small bags given by Xu's parents.
There were fiery red spring couplets and the Chinese character "福" pasted on the gate of the courtyard. The north wind whistled through the garden. The nanny came over to help Ruan Cunyun drag the suitcase: "Xiaoyun is back!"
Ruan Cunyun smiled at his aunt, pushed the door open, and saw his mother sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone with her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Mother Ruan glanced at Ruan Cunyun, and the anger between her brows disappeared instantly. She made a gesture to him, meaning for him to wait until her mother finished the call.
Having not been home for more than half a year, Ruan Cunyun took a casual walk around and felt that the big villa was still as empty as before, with the crystal chandeliers flashing an empty light.
Ruan Cunyun strolled into his room, which was the place he was most familiar with.
The bookshelf was empty, as he had cleared it out before moving to Shenzhen.
He thought at that time that since his father didn't like to see his hobbies, he would leave nothing behind and just pack up and leave.
Ruan Cunyun wandered into the study and was suddenly startled by a pair of cold gazes.
There is a robot in the corner of the study, with a metal frame and metal eyeballs. It looks a bit creepy from a distance, but it is actually quite cute when you get closer.
There was a letter attached to the robot with strange content, saying something like "I wish you happy raising the child."
Ruan Cunyun took another look and saw the big signature of Qin Fanglu at the bottom, which made him even more confused.
"came back?"
Ruan's father's voice sounded behind him. Ruan Cunyun turned around and looked at his father.
"This is a gift from your boss." Father Ruan introduced indifferently.
Ruan Cunyun asked: "When you went to find him and wanted to take me back to his company?"
Father Ruan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sharpness that was difficult to conceal: "Did he tell you?"
The atmosphere was a little tense. Ruan Cunyun could feel that his father must have noticed something, but he still nodded.
There's no need to lie, it's bound to happen sooner or later.
Father Ruan said openly: "Qin Fanglu gave me a robot, saying that this is the ideal son I want, who will listen to me in everything and will not resist."
Ruan Cunyun understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and thought to himself that Qin Fanglu was a ruthless man, and he almost laughed out loud.
"Did you go to Northern Europe with him?" Father Ruan suddenly asked.
Ruan Cunyun felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he had indeed been seen during the video.
He nodded in silence.
Father Ruan was also silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Ruan Cunyun's heart was beating anxiously.
His father must have found out, so, should he scold him? Should he stop them from being together
Father Ruan was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "How is he treating you?"
Ruan Cunyun was stunned: "Very good."
"Okay." Father Ruan turned and walked out of the study, pointing to a set of exquisite New Year gifts in the cabinet, "You can bring some back for him later."
Ruan Cunyun stood there and didn't speak for a long time.
-
The Ruan family is very large, and all the aunts and uncles came on New Year's Day.
The children were jumping up and down noisily, Ruan's father was dominating the card table, Ruan's mother was chatting with a bunch of relatives about cigarettes, alcohol and luxury cars, and Ruan Cunyun was hiding in the room checking Weibo.
There was a festive atmosphere on Weibo. Ruan Cunyun was bored, so he used Huya’s big account to post a message “Happy New Year, what are you doing?”, which was quickly drowned out by various comments.
[Ya Mei actually still remembers that he has a large size!]
[It's the New Year, and you finally remembered to treat us perfunctorily?]
[Why haven’t the Hanfu been distributed yet? Why haven’t the Hanfu been distributed yet? Why haven’t the Hanfu been distributed yet?]
[Happy New Year, my wife! It would be a shame not to post a selfie, right? ]
Ruan Cunyun replied: [It will be released soon. I will release it in a few days. I won’t lie to you.] [Can Yamei’s feature film wait for Teacher Dan to like, comment and repost it? Come and place your bets!]
[Ya Mei is so beautiful, so stunning that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. This picture has made millions of netizens sleepless and tossing and turning... I bet I can't wait. ]
[Teacher Dan has never liked anyone's Weibo! He doesn't even follow other artists. It seems a bit difficult to like a cosplayer 2333]
[Don't tell the truth above, it makes me upset. I bet I can't wait d(^_^o)]
[Besides, Dan-sensei is in a relationship now, right? I just want to see her continue to draw. It doesn’t matter if she’s with Ya-sister or something like that! ]
Ruan Cunyun originally thought that his fans would wish him to be chosen by Teacher Dan as soon as possible as before, but he didn't expect to receive a screen full of negative predictions.
Ruan Cunyun was almost mad at these unfilial sons and replied to them: [It’s Chinese New Year, can you say something auspicious? ! ]
There was a knock on the door, and Ruan's mother's voice rang out from outside: "It's time for dinner."
Ruan Cunyun locked his phone and put it in his pocket: "Here I come!"
Ruan Cunyun never liked the New Year's Eve dinner. The table was full of unfamiliar relatives, and he was asked all kinds of questions. After the meal, his father urged him to toast. Although he was in a happy mood, Ruan Cunyun just wanted to go back to his room and shut himself up.
This year seemed to be no different from previous years. Various national affairs and family matters were being discussed at the table. Ruan Cunyun was eating his food out of boredom when he felt his cell phone suddenly vibrate.
Qin Fanglu posted a photo. All the cats were wearing bright red coats and sitting in a row, with their round eyes wide open.
Ruan Cunyun unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled, and replied: "Xiaoju really needs to lose weight, her clothes are almost broken."
Qin: [We are ready to eat, what about you? ]
Cun: [Already started eating, there are so many relatives, so boring. ]
Qin: [It’s really snowing in Shenzhen. I’ll make a video for you later.]
Save: [! ! OK! ]
Cun: [By the way, let me ask you a question. ]
Qin: [Hmm?]
Cun: [After returning to Shenzhen, I will spend a day with my friends. Do you want to join us? ]
Qin: [Do you think I want to? ]
Ruan Cunyun laughed secretly and replied to him, "How would I know?"
Qin: [I missed it. I'm so happy.]
Although Qin Fanglu speaks directly, he rarely expresses his feelings directly, and his facial expressions are not rich, which makes people feel that he does not have much emotional fluctuations.
He said frankly that he was "happy", which made Ruan Cunyun feel touched.
Qin Fanglu then sent many more messages, asking Ruan Cunyun what his friends like and what gifts he should bring. He also asked about their approximate age and whether they would think he was too old to be worthy of Ruan Cunyun. He was also worried that he would not perform well and leave a bad impression on Ruan Cunyun's friends.
Ruan Cunyun secretly hid under the table and looked at his mobile phone, the corners of his mouth curled higher and higher. He always felt that Qin Fanglu was different today than usual.
He talks a lot, clings to people and is very sticky. Through the phone, it is almost impossible to imagine that he is a calm company executive.
The elders at the table began to toast, and everyone at the table had to stand up.
Ruan Cunyun quickly sent a message saying "Let's chat later, I'm going to eat the New Year's Eve dinner first", put down his phone, and raised his glass in a familiar manner.
"Xiaoyun has grown up." The uncle smiled, "He looks quite grown up."
Ruan Cunyun raised his wine glass and smiled.
Usually after the elders have finished toasting, his father would ask him to toast.
After all, Ruan Cunyun has been in society for half a year and is not as scared as before. It’s just a toast, right
He had already thought of the blessing in his mind, repeating it over and over again, waiting with his heart pounding for his father to call his name.
Unexpectedly, Ruan's father stood up and gently touched Ruan Cunyun's glass with his goblet. Ruan's father said, "Happy New Year, son."
Mother Ruan stood up and said, "Hey, old man, why did you sneak away? Xiaoyun, I want to respect you too. You've worked hard outside."
“It’s not hard.”
Ruan Cunyun responded, closed his eyes and drank it all in one gulp, the wine became sweet and mellow.
A relative joined in the fun with a smile: "Xiao Yun, when will you let your parents upgrade their generation? Isn't it time?"
Before Ruan Cunyun could reply, his father said, "Why rush into this matter?"
Sitting back at the table, Ruan Cunyun still felt a little dizzy.
Ruan's mother sat next to Ruan Cunyun and asked him softly, "Are you in love?"
Ruan Cunyun choked on a mouthful of beef, but managed to swallow it down: "Did my dad tell you?"
"Does he need to tell me?" Mother Ruan smiled softly and glanced at Ruan Cunyun's phone on the table. "It's too obvious."
“Oh… Oh.”
Ruan Cunyun's ears turned red because of his mother's words.
Ruan Cunyun scratched his ear. Is it really that obvious
Mother Ruan said, "Why don't you bring someone home this year?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it..." Ruan Cunyun paused for a long time before whispering, "He is a boy."
"Actually, when your dad told me a few months ago that you liked boys, I really couldn't accept it at first. There are some things that I know are fine, but I just can't accept it when it happens to you."
Mother Ruan said, "But when I think about it, it's time now. I also fought a lawsuit for a gay couple last year. They were in a good relationship. I don't see any difference between them and your father and me."
She continued, "And no matter what, you will always be my son. Even if you find a telephone pole as your wife, you have to bring her back to me."
Ruan Cunyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom."
The Spring Festival Gala began and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Amid the festive singing and dancing, Ruan's mother continued, "Recently, your father and I have reflected on this at home. We did have some problems in the past 20 years. He and I were both busy with work, and it seemed that we only had demands on you but no concern. We took a lot of detours, missed a lot of opportunities to communicate with you, and missed a lot of time to make up for you—"
Mother Ruan blinked and paused before saying, "When I was pregnant with you, we hoped that our child would be healthy and happy for the rest of his life. But now we realize that we are the source of your unhappiness."
Ruan Cunyun couldn't bear it: "Mom..."
"Maybe I still can't understand some of your hobbies, but I will learn to respect them." Mother Ruan tucked her hair behind her ears and touched Ruan Cunyun's cup again, "Happy New Year, Xiaoyun. I hope you will be really happy in the new year."
Ruan Cunyun lowered his eyes and said, "I used my salary to buy gifts for you and dad. Do you want them?"
"Yes, of course." Mother Ruan smiled, "Give it to us after dinner."
The Ruan family’s New Year’s Eve dinner always takes a long time. Ruan Cunyun is full after half an hour, and the children can’t sit still and run around the house happily.
Because his mother had seen through it, Ruan Cunyun felt a little guilty when he took the phone and turned to the side to avoid looking at it.
As expected, Qin Fanglu sent him another message, asking him, "Can I call now?"
Ruan Cunyun secretly ran down from the New Year's Eve dinner table with his cell phone in hand, and couldn't wait to make a video call.
To be honest, after not seeing Qin Fanglu for a day or two, Ruan Cunyun started to miss him.
Qin Fanglu answered the call quickly, with the camera facing himself, and some snow falling faintly behind him.
"It's really snowing!" Ruan Cunyun smiled with his eyes curved.
Qin Fanglu showed him the thin layer of snow on the ground: "Really, I've lived here for many years, and this is the first time I've encountered a snowy winter."
Ruan Cunyun sat alone in the yard. He could faintly hear the sounds of clinking glasses and television in the house. Suddenly, he felt a sense of loneliness rising in his heart.
He buried his chin in his knees and said, "Qin Fanglu, if I had known I would have taken you home."
Qin Fanglu smiled: "What's the matter?"
Ruan Cunyun stared at the screen and muttered, "My parents know that I have a boyfriend, and they want me to bring him home to see him."
"Isn't this a big loss? We've wasted the entire Spring Festival."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Fanglu said, "I'll come every year from now on."
"By the way." Ruan Cunyun suddenly laughed, "I saw the robot you gave my dad! You are such a talented person."
Qin Fanglu shook his head in distress: "I will come to make amends to my uncle next year."
A pop-up window made Ruan Cunyun exclaim, "A red envelope was sent out in the company group!"
After saying that, he went straight to the group and started grabbing things.
Mr. Shu sent out five big ones in a row, so Qin Fanglu had to follow suit and sent out five more.
Ruan Cunyun said bitterly: "I only got 1.2 yuan out of the 200 yuan red envelope you sent."
Qin Fanglu laughed unceremoniously on the other side of the video; his laughter was mixed in with the wind and snow, low and very catchy.
The two of them kept chatting for several hours.
The Ruan family did not have the custom of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. The elders went back to rest early after eating, and the children were tired from making noise, so only the adults gathered together to play cards.
Ruan Cunyun gave the gift, said goodbye to his parents, and ran back to his room.
"I'm free!" Ruan Cunyun fell on his back on the bed, holding his hot phone and said. "Are you home?"
"I'm back." The camera on Qin Fanglu's side was black, and there was a rustling sound.
When the camera zoomed out again, Qin Fanglu was seen lying on the bed with a dim light on beside him.
"Are you sleepy?" Qin Fanglu asked.
"A little bit." Ruan Cunyun yawned, "But I have to wait for the New Year's Eve countdown."
"Then take a nap first." Qin Fanglu said, "I'll call you when the time is almost up."
Ruan Cunyun was buried in the quilt, tossing and turning restlessly.
The person he was thinking about was right there on the phone screen, but he couldn't touch or feel him, which made Ruan Cunyun feel itchy and anxious. He really wanted to grab Qin Fanglu and hold his hot body close to him.
It turns out that it’s so cold in bed when you sleep alone.
Qin Fanglu laughed softly and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep." Ruan Cunyun said sullenly, burying his face in the pillow.
"Then don't sleep yet." Qin Fanglu said lazily, "I asked you to be mentally prepared before, are you ready?"
Ruan Cunyun's body stiffened: "..."
"Since there is no such thing, why not do it now?" Qin Fanglu asked leisurely.
"Be mentally prepared, what to do..."
Ruan Cunyun's voice became smaller and smaller.
"It's almost the same as before you go on stage to give a speech." Qin Fanglu smiled faintly.
"Imagine what could have happened, imagine what would have happened—"
Ruan Cunyun closed his eyes and gripped the quilt tightly with his fingers.
Qin Fanglu spoke in a low voice, "I kissed your face. Just imagine that these lips slowly moved down, pecked your chin, and then moved down to your Adam's apple, collarbone..."
The low and slow sound filled Ruan Cunyun's ears, and the picture in his mind gradually became clearer.
"The lip touched the left side a little bit, very lightly."
"Then I blew gently..."
Ruan Cunyun trembled all over and his breathing immediately became disordered.
He seemed to actually feel a hint of coolness blowing past, stirring up the warm air.
Ruan Cunyun couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy: "Stop talking, Qin Fanglu—"
Qin Fanglu didn't speak for a long time, and his voice with a little noise traveled thousands of miles into Ruan Cunyun's ears.
He heard Qin Fanglu's muffled breathing.
The quilt made him sweat. Ruan Cunyun clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, having difficulty breathing.
"The countdown is almost over." Qin Fanglu said in a hoarse voice.
Ruan Cunyun's mind was still confused: "Yeah."
Then he heard a distant countdown, not sure if it was coming from the living room downstairs or from the phone.
When the countdown reached zero, Ruan Cunyun heard Qin Fanglu say to him, "Happy New Year, little friend."
Ruan Cunyun blurted out: "Happy New Year, capitalist."
Then Qin Fanglu's low laugh was heard.
The phone started vibrating, and Ruan Cunyun's fingers were still shaking as he slowly clicked on it. He found that Qin Fanglu had sent him a transfer of 5,200 yuan with the words "No need to fight in the group" written on it.
Ruan Cunyun laughed out loud immediately, and half of the sweat on his body disappeared.
"Qin Fanglu, you are really unsophisticated." Ruan Cunyun laughed at him.
Qin Fanglu paused for a moment and said something irrelevant:
"Ruan Cunyun, I really miss you."
