Xuan Jiu felt that the atmosphere was suddenly depressed. He pinched his shoulders hard, panting and staring at him: "What's the point of doing this?"
"No?" Ning Chengyuan lowered his head and looked straight into his clear and bright eyes. His hot breath sprayed on his face, and he gasped and asked him.
"No." Xuan Jiu pursed his lips and said calmly, but because his gaze was burning, he couldn't help but look away. Ning Chengyuan quickly turned his face again and stared deeply. He didn't speak again for a long, long time...
Xuan Jiu thought that he was brewing some emotion again, maybe he was going to get angry with him again, and Xuan Jiu was already prepared to deal with him.
But in the end, Ning Chengyuan just let him go, scratched the back of his head, looked at Xuan Jiu with a faint look, and said, "The Chinese New Year is almost here."
Xuan Jiu was confused by such an inexplicable change of topic, but he still nodded and said, "I know."
Ning Chengyuan hesitated for a while and asked him: "Where do you plan to celebrate the New Year?"
Xuan Jiu answered this question without thinking too much, "Go back to Beichuan."
"Can you not go back..." Ning Chengyuan looked at him pitifully and said.
Xuan Jiu was confused: "...What do you want to do?"
Ning Chengyuan sighed and said: "I remember I mentioned to you before that my grandmother and grandfather are staying in the countryside, and they are not used to the life in Beicheng. I think I have been busy fighting in these years and haven't done much. I went to visit them. Now that the war has subsided, I thought of going back as New Year's Eve is approaching... I just want to ask you, Xiaojiu, if you can go back with me to celebrate the New Year... "
When Xuan Jiu heard what he said, he seemed to want to introduce him to his maternal grandfather and grandmother. They knew what he meant. Xuan Jiu blushed inexplicably for a moment and said confusedly: "I'll go back with you...what do you mean..."
"Didn't you say you were my friend? After much thought, you don't have any relatives, so it would be most appropriate for you to come back with me."
Xuan Jiu stared at him: "Is it just me?"
Speaking of this, Ning Chengyuan became more confident and nodded: "Yes, Brother Sheng has his own family. The Emperor and Xi Li were celebrating the New Year. They originally expected to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Su Huang, but Su Huang I will get married in a few days, and I will be the only one left..."
As Ning Chengyuan spoke, he sighed and repeated the last sentence softly, intentionally or unintentionally, "I am the only one left..."
That tone made it sound as if he had been abandoned by everyone in the world...
Xuan Jiu looked at Ning Chengyuan. His emotions at that moment were indescribable, because Ning Chengyuan's tone was too sad. He was obviously such a proud and wanton person...
Moreover, it seemed that the reason was solely due to Xuan Jiu's resistance.
Xuan Jiu also wanted to say to Ning Chengyuan like before, "There are so many beautiful beauties in the world, why don't you find one too?" But at this moment, Xuan Jiu couldn't say anything, not just Because he knew that Ning Chengyuan would not go looking for him, and more importantly, right now... the most direct feeling in his heart was that he did not want Ning Chengyuan to go looking for someone else...
Xuan Jiu was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Ning Chengyuan was startled. He didn't expect Xuan Jiu to agree to him so quickly. He couldn't help being happy for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "Seriously?"
