Although fireworks are beautiful, they are always short-lived, and parties always have to break up.
Not long after watching the fireworks, Mu Xuechen leaned on his father's arms and yawned several times.
The little guy was still young, so naturally he was not as energetic as the adults. Everyone saw the clues and stood up to leave one after another.
Mu Tianye took care of the little guy, and the others sent him out together.
Qin Zhaoyang arranged for a driver to take Ye Qiao and Jimo back to the city, while Ning Xiaofei took Xicheng to the side gate of the manor - from here, you can walk back to the manor where Xicheng lives.
After walking out of the side door, Xicheng immediately stopped and turned to look at Ning Xiaofei behind him.
"It's cold outside, go back quickly!"
"Yes!" Ning Xiaofei smiled, took her hand out of her coat pocket and stretched it out in front of him, "Thank you for coming."
Stretching out his palm and gently holding hers, Xicheng smiled, "This is my honor!"
After just holding her hand for two seconds, he had already let go of his fingers.
After nearly two years, Xicheng's feelings towards Ning Xiaofei have also changed a lot.
The girl in front of him will no longer let him have emotions beyond friendship. Firstly, it is because she already has a heart for her and he is not the kind of person to force her. Secondly, it is also because he has gradually looked down on many things.
"Then I'll leave first."
With a slight nod, Xicheng turned forward.
Ning Xiaofei stood by the small side door, watching his retreating figure, thought for a while, and raised her voice.
"West City."
The man stopped in the snow and turned to look at her.
Ning Xiaofei walked a few steps quickly and caught up to him. She was panting slightly because she was running so fast.
"What happened in the past is in the past, promise me, cheer up, okay?"
In the night, the girl's eyes shine like stars, filled with hope and heartache.
Sure enough, she had already seen through his disguise.
Taking a deep breath, Xicheng was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"I... try my best."
Ning Xiaofei frowned. She seemed to have a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to start. After a while, she raised her face.
"Xingxing likes you very much. I hope you can come and play often when you have time. We are going to spend the Spring Festival here. If you have time, why not come and eat dumplings together."
"This..." Xicheng originally wanted to refuse, but hesitated when he caught her gaze, "Okay, let me see. If I have time, I will definitely come over."
Ning Xiaofei also knew that some things should not be forced, so she immediately nodded with a smile.
Xicheng looked up not far away and noticed Mu Tianye who had come to pick up Ning Xiaofei. He looked away and said, "I'll leave first. You should go back early. Good night!"
Nodding to Mu Tianye who was walking from a distance, he turned around and strode forward.
Mu Tianye walked over through the snow and wrapped the scarf in his hand around Ning Xiaofei's neck. When he looked up, Xicheng had already entered the night.
There is a dark night above the head, and there is white snow all around. The figure of the man in a black coat is alone and lonely in the white snow.
"He looks like this, it's really heartbreaking!" Ning Xiaofei said softly.
Raising his hands to hug her shoulders, Mu Tianye looked away from Xicheng in the distance.
"We can't help him with these things. We can only leave it to time. We hope he will meet someone who can give him comfort soon."
Mu Tianye has also experienced the pain of losing a loved one and the torture of being frustrated in life. He knows that feeling very well.
