"Miss Xi and Butler Feng are going to buy fireworks."
The bodyguard lowered his head and replied calmly.
Fireworks, there is a store just outside the science and technology park.
Gong Ou took the box and walked out. The wind on New Year's Eve was very cold and blew on his face.
Strings of lanterns are hung on the trees along the road, announcing the joy of the New Year to people passing by.
Gong Ou walked forward in his coat, and it was quiet all the way. He continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard Feng De's voice from the other side of the tree, "Xiao Nian, why don't you tell the young master clearly what you are thinking, The young master is not sick now, so you don't have to worry about him so much."
“…”
Gong Ou frowned and looked over the tree.
Here is a row of stone steps going down, and below is a square. There are some children playing in roller skating on the square. Shi Xiaonian and Feng De are sitting on the steps looking down, with a bunch of fireworks beside them.
I haven’t come back after buying fireworks.
Gong Ou was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Shi Xiaonian pick up a can of beer, open it, and pour it into his mouth.
"Xiao Nian, don't do this. What are you doing to punish your body?"
Feng De went to grab her beer can.
"I feel bad, adoptive father. Since I couldn't cry, I can't vent my pain every time. Do you understand how torturing that feeling is? Let me drink a little. I can't face the twins if I don't drink back." I can't go to Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian sounded excited, reached out and took back the beer can and poured it into his mouth.
Hearing this, Gong Ou hid behind a tree.
"Hey." Feng De sat next to her and sighed, "I always thought you would be happy when the young master comes back, but I didn't expect it to be like this today. The young master has really changed too much."
"He didn't change, he got his true self back. He recovered from his illness." Shi Xiaonian held the beer can tightly with both hands and murmured, "But the adoptive father..."
"Um?"
"Father, I miss that Gong Ou so much." Shi Xiaonian murmured, looking dryly at the square below with red eyes, "I really miss him."
“…”
Gong Ou, who was hiding behind the big tree, froze.
"I didn't understand until today that that Gong Ou didn't come back. He disappeared in front of me four years ago. He will never come back again." Shi Xiaonian said in a low voice, with endless pain in his voice, " The last thing he said to me was that he was tired, so he chose to rest and never see me again."
"Xiao Nian, don't do this."
"But I didn't even say goodbye to him." Shi Xiaonian wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry. She could only use her fingers to dig into the beer can in her hand until it deformed, venting her pain.
"Although the young master has all the memories, he does seem to be a different person." Feng De sat next to Shi Xiaonian and sighed softly, "I've been with the young master these days, and I've been in a trance a lot of the time. The current young master knows how to restore the hearts and minds of NE that have been lost, and make everyone work hard for him. He has done a good job, and NE is making great progress. But there is something missing, maybe he is worldly but ignorant of others."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's fingers dug into the beer can harder and harder.
Gong Ou stood behind the tree and listened quietly, his handsome face expressionless in the night, and holding a huge gift box in his hand.
"The young master in the past would talk to me a lot when he was in a good mood, and he also liked to comment on my dressing sense. Once he went to see you, he was very happy, and said that I was young and would not allow me to retire."
Feng De laughed as he spoke.
"Well, Gong Ou used to be very emotional. When he was happy, he would do anything. When he was unhappy, he would throw the table and smash the chair. If I tilted the chair even an inch, he would correct it. I used to hate these problems of his, but Now, I miss him so much, all his little problems, and the way he smiled at me like a child." Shi Xiaonian whispered, her throat choked up as she spoke, and her voice trembled badly, "He can't I’m back, not anymore.”
Her voice was so shaky that it was heartbreaking.
The two people missed Gong Ou from the past on New Year's Eve.
Gong Ou stood behind the tree and listened to every word in his ears, his eyes darker than the night.
It turns out that his love rival is not that student, but his past self.
The corners of his lips curled up in a hint of mockery.
good.
Xi Xiaonian.
You found me a decent love rival this time.
Without continuing to listen, Gong Ou turned around and left, his slender legs striding on the road, his thin lips pursed tighter and tighter, his eyes getting colder and colder, and he held the gift box firmly with both hands.
Encountered a trash can on the road.
Gong Ou raised his hand and threw the box directly into the trash can.
On the steps, Shi Xiaonian drank several cans of beer in a row, and her pale face finally regained some rosy color.
She turned her eyes to look at Feng De. There were many more wrinkles on Feng De's face, and his eyes were covered with water. Seeing her, Feng De quickly reached out to rub away his tears, "Xiao Nian, don't think about it, at least young master He is still back, even if his soul is no longer the same as before, he is still a young master."
"I know." Shi Xiaonian whispered, his eyes terribly red, "So, no matter what happens, I am still grateful to him and grateful that he came back alive."
Even if Gong Ou and Mona really go to a room and have sex tomorrow, she will not hate Gong Ou.
Because at this moment she clearly knew that Gong Ou, who loved her dearly, was no longer there, and the normal person who came back was Gong Ou, who didn't love her and was normal.
She has to accept it all.
"Go back." Feng De patted her and said.
"good."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, stood up from the steps, and walked back holding the fireworks.
Passing by the trash can, a gust of wind blew. Feng De and Shi Xiaonian subconsciously turned their backs to the wind and glanced at the trash can.
An exquisite gift box was thrown on top of the trash can, with the lid half open, revealing a beautiful brand new scarf.
"Why did you just throw away this pretty scarf?"
Feng De sighed casually.
"have no idea."
Shi Xiaonian shook his head and continued to walk forward with Feng De.
Another strong gust of wind hit, and the lid of the box was blown aside. The scarf lay quietly in the box, swallowed up in the night.
Returning to the gallery, Shi Xiaonian went in holding the fireworks and saw that Gong Ou was no longer in the gallery.
"Where's the young master?"
Feng De asked doubtfully.
Shi Xiaonian shook his head, Feng De put down the fireworks in his arms, looked at Shi Xiaonian and said, "Then you give the young master a call."
Shi Xiaonian stood under the light. When he heard this, his face stiffened and he said, "I don't have Gong Ou's mobile phone number."
In the days since Gong Ou came back, he never took the initiative to leave her phone number.
There were several times when she wanted to ask, but in the end she was in vain while he was busy or sleeping.
She tried again and again to get closer to Gong Ou, but to no avail.
“…”
Feng De was stunned and looked at Shi Xiaonian, then took out his cell phone and said, "Xiao Nian, I'll give you the young master's phone number."
"Forget it, foster father, if he wants to fulfill his promise to stay with the twins, he will come back. If he has something to do, I can't stop him even if I say so." Shi Xiaonian has already recognized this fact.
“…”
Feng De didn't even know what to say to comfort her.
"Didn't I say, treat them as two people, one is Gong Ou in the past, and the other is Gong Ou now." Shi Xiaonian said bitterly, "I can't use the past to ask for the present."
right.
She couldn't ask for it like this, otherwise, she was afraid that she would die of angina pectoris.
“…”
Feng De opened his mouth to say something, but Shi Xiaonian yawned and said, "I'm tired too, go to sleep. Holy, Xiaokui, let's go to bed."
Feng De had no choice but to hold back what he wanted to say.
…
New Year's Day.
Shi Xiaonian got up very early and made breakfast. The TV was turned on as background music. There were even various advertisements on the TV congratulating the Chinese New Year.
NE, invites you to enter the holographic era together.
The New Year advertisement made by NE only has one sentence, but it is eye-catching enough.
"Where's Dad? Dad won't have breakfast with us?"
While eating breakfast, Gong Kui began to miss Gong Ou.
"After breakfast, come and do morning lessons with me." Gong Yao said coldly. Gong Kui's attention was instantly diverted and she looked at her brother sadly, "This is not the Gong family, I don't want to do morning lessons!"
"I'm going back to England soon."
Gong Yao poured cold water on her head.
Gong Kui jumped up immediately, "I don't want to go back to England, I want to be in China! In! China! China!"
She doesn't have to follow her mother so many messy rules. She doesn't want to go back to the UK. It's so much fun in China. The fake baby bears are much cuter than the real ones and don't have fangs.
"impossible."
Gong Yao is soberer than his sister.
"It's possible, it's possible!" Gong Kui jumped off the chair and rushed into the room to find her mother, "Mom, I don't want to go back to England, I don't want to go back!"
Midway through her words, Gong Kui's voice became mute, and she looked at Shi Xiaonian sitting in front of the makeup mirror in surprise.
Mom is putting on makeup.
Shi Xiaonian was wearing a sapphire blue dress, which showed off her exquisite figure. Her slender legs were close together, and her long hair fell on her shoulders. She held an eye brush and gently applied a layer of eye shadow to brighten it up. Beautiful eyes.
Of course, if you ignore the redness in her eyes, these eyes will be even more beautiful.
"It's so beautiful." Gong Kui ran over and snuggled against her, "Mom, do you want to go out? Will you take me out?"
"Well, I have to go out alone today. Can you and Holy stay in the gallery and be good?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, putting down the eye brush in his hand, holding Gong Kui on his lap and sitting down.
"where are you going?"
Gong Kui asked doubtfully.
To catch a rapist
No, it’s about giving up hope completely.
"I don't know where I'm going." Shi Xiaonian hugged Gong Kui and asked, "Am I really good-looking? How good-looking?"
It's been a long time since she put on makeup so conscientiously, and she never put on makeup as delicately as Mona did.
Even if she loses today, she doesn't want to lose too badly.
If today is the final ending for her and Gong Ou, she hopes that in his memory, she is good-looking.
"You are so beautiful. Mom, you are the prettiest, even more beautiful than grandma!"
The most beautiful woman Gong Kui has ever seen is grandma.
Luo Qi, that is indeed a picturesque woman. (To be continued)
