The community was decorated beautifully, and red lanterns were hung everywhere, creating a strong New Year atmosphere.
Since eight o'clock, people in the community have been setting off firecrackers one after another, as if they are welcoming the new year with the loudest voices.
Huo Yao led the dog and walked unhurriedly in the community, the figures of a person and a dog stretched out very long under the street lamp, at this moment, the mobile phone in her pocket rang.
Huo Yao paused slightly, changed the dog leash with another hand, then took out her mobile phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and pressed the answer button with her pale fingers.
"What are you doing?" The man's clear voice came through the mobile phone. Although there was still the sound of firecrackers outside, it still fell into Huo Yao's ears clearly and amplified.
Huo Yao was stunned, and the energetic husky broke free of the rope from her hand in an instant, and ran forward in a hurry.
She came back to her senses, shook her head amusedly, and said to the phone while chasing the dog, "I'm taking care of my second brother's son."
Min Yu on the other end of the phone heard the sound of walking, and asked, "Is it in the community?"
Huo Yao hummed softly, Huo Xiaoer ran very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. She called the dog's name a few times but couldn't find it, and she couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"Keeping a dog is really troublesome." Huo Yao complained, knowing that no one in the community would come out for a walk at this time, so he simply stood under the street lamp and waited for the silly dog to come back by himself.
It's rare for Min Yu to hear someone complain, and a smile suddenly appeared on Qing Jun's face, "It's such a troublesome thing to keep a dog, so what will my son do in the future?"
Huo Yao: "..."
After two seconds of silence, Huo Yao automatically ignored the inexplicable intrusion and changed the subject, "Did you not go to the Spring Festival Gala?"
She could tell that the ambient sound on the other end of the phone was very quiet.
"No." The man's voice was very soft. He looked at the little girl standing under the street lamp. A thick down jacket almost covered her whole body, like a little penguin that just needed to be taken home.
The light in Min Yu's eyes became soft, and the tiredness between his brows seemed to dissipate at this moment.
He walked towards Huo Yao slowly.
Huo Yao was holding the mobile phone, his head was still lowered, his eyes fell on his toes, he didn't pay attention to what was behind him, and continued to talk: "... But, you can watch this year's Spring Festival Gala, my fourth brother also participated."
Then she heard Min Yu's voice from close at hand, "Well, I know."
It doesn't look like it's in the phone, but it seems to be right behind—
Huo Yao suddenly raised his head, turned around, and saw a man as cold as the moon walking towards her slowly, as if he was wearing stars.
She froze for a moment, and kept holding the phone to her ear.
Min Yu approached, looked at the absent-minded little girl, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her directly, "Why are you so stupid all of a sudden?"
Huo Yao sniffed the cold woody fragrance at the end of her nose, and finally came back to her senses. She put the phone back in her pocket, "You...why are you here?"
Min Yu's arm did not let go, his cheek was pressed against Huo Yao's face, and his voice was magnetic, "I want to see you."
Huo Yao was caught off guard by hearing such words, her heart beat twice as fast as usual, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she saw two figures merged into one long shadow under the light.
"When did you arrive?" Huo Yao gently wrapped his arms around the man's waist and asked in a low voice.
Min Yu noticed this movement, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. After thinking for a while, he replied: "It's afternoon."
