It took a long time for the firecrackers to stop, but there were still various fireworks blooming in the distant sky.
Lu Huai and Zacai let go of their hands, and rubbed her head with a light smile.
"time to eat."
Ning Li nodded.
"Okay, let me tell my classmate, this will pass."
Lu Huai nodded.
Ning Li put the phone to her ear again, and before she could speak, she heard He Xiaochen's voice stuttering with excitement:
"Ah, that voice just now is so familiar! Is it your second brother!? Is it him!? Wuwuwu, dear Ning Li, are you celebrating the New Year with your second brother today?"
Ning Li subconsciously covered the receiver, but it was too late, He Xiaochen's sentence was too clear and loud, even if she wanted to pretend she couldn't hear it.
She immediately looked up at Lu Huaiyu, and saw that he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled playfully.
"."
Well, the scream broke through the screen and was heard clearly.
Ning Li holds the forehead:
"I-"
Before she could figure out how to respond, Lu Huaiyu suddenly raised his hand and took her cell phone over.
She didn't check it for a while, and the phone fell into Lu Huaiyu's hands.
He chuckled and spoke, his voice was low and pleasant, with a loose smile:
"Yes, kissing Ning Li is at my house, celebrating the New Year with me."
After the words fell, He Xiaochen, who had been crazily outputting excitement on the opposite side, was suddenly as quiet as a chicken.
There was a dead silence.
The air freezes.
After a while, He Xiaochen finally recovered his senses and spoke, his voice changed because of nervousness:
"Happy New Year, Brother Ning Li! I, I, and I are Kiss Ning Li's roommate at the same table—"
Ning Li covered her face in despair.
It was He Xiaochen who was ashamed, but why was she the one who was embarrassed
He Xiaochen seemed to have finally realized that his performance was too new to the world, and he stammered even more.
"I-I-"
"Happy New Year."
Lu Huai and Dao.
He Xiaochen hurriedly said:
"Happy new year! I wish you good health and good luck in everything, as Donghai's longevity is more expensive than Nanshan's bald head and early birth—"
Ning Li couldn't listen anymore, she took a step forward and interrupted her.
"Xiaochen, we're going to eat, so I'll hang up first?"
Only then did He Xiaochen stop.
After reacting for a moment, she let out a soft "ah", and murmured like a ghost:
".Did I say something wrong just now?"
What did she say!
Ning Li was silent for a moment.
"It's okay."
It's not the first time anyway.
He Xiaochen was silent for a long while, then began to cry:
"ah!"
"I am dead!"
"The Peerless Marshal Bi called me just now, what did I say!"
Ning Li: "."
Lu Huai and eyebrow raising:
"Student, I heard what you just said, thank you for your blessing."
He Xiaochen's crying stopped abruptly, and because it was so sudden, he even hiccupped.
In the silence, Ning Li said without any ups and downs in her voice:
"...It was a public release just now."
He Xiaochen: Thank you, I walked very peacefully.jpg.
Ning Li said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
The atmosphere was awkward, Ning Li didn't even dare to look into Lu Huaiyu's eyes.
He heard every word just now, right
After a while, Lu Huai and Cai laughed unintentionally.
"Let's go, eat."
The Lu family's New Year's Eve dinner tonight is extraordinarily sumptuous.
Grandpa Lu sat at the main seat, Lu Huaiyu sat on the left, and Ning Li sat opposite.
Fang Qingyun and Zhang Chunlan went home after finishing their work, and went to reunite with their children.
Mr. Lu looked sideways at Ning Li, and kept bringing food to her.
"Ari, you are too thin, eat more!"
Ning Li's rice bowl has piled up a hill.
The old man is full of enthusiasm, of course she can't refuse, she can only accept it all.
Mr. Lu asked about other things, mostly about her preferences.
Ning Li also answered one by one.
"By the way, Ali will sleep in the guest bedroom on the first floor tonight?"
Knowing that people were coming, Mr. Lu had his room cleaned up long ago, and all the sheets and pillowcases were replaced with new ones.
Ning Li paused.
The guest bedroom seems to be next to Lu Huaiyu's bedroom
But this is in the Lu family after all.
She nodded:
"Okay. Thank you, Grandpa Lu."
After dinner, Mr. Lu dragged Ning Li to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.
Lu Huaiyu also accompanied him.
However, Mr. Lu was getting old, and he became sleepy after ten o'clock, and fell asleep on the sofa.
Lu Huaiyu took a look and helped him back to the room to rest.
After a while, Lu Huai and came back.
"Are you sleepy?"
he asked.
Ning Li shook her head: "It's okay."
Lu Huaiyu also sat down on the sofa, a space away from her. Seeing that she was watching TV seriously, he followed her gaze and asked with a smile:
"So pretty?"
Ning Li was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"Um."
In fact, what is good-looking is not the Spring Festival Gala, and the joys and sorrows of the people on the screen have nothing to do with her.
However, in her memory, there are very few such lively and peaceful New Year's Eve.
So, good looking.
Time passed slowly.
Ning Li also seemed to be sleepy, her head was shaking a little bit.
When Lu Huaihe saw it, he turned off the light in the living room, leaving only a floor lamp beside the sofa.
Then he stood up, moved a little towards her, sat next to her, raised his hand to support her head, and let her lean on his shoulder.
The hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock.
The clock struck zero.
Lu Huai turned his head sideways, and his chin lightly rested on her forehead, his voice was extremely soft.
"Happy New Year, Ali."
Ning Li seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Lu Huaiyu went to hug her, intending to send her back to the room.
As if sensing his movement, she frowned slightly, as if she wanted to refuse.
Lu Huai coaxed in a low voice:
"good."
Hearing this sound, Ning Li stopped her resisting movements, and her brows gradually relaxed.
Lu Huaiyu hugged her horizontally.
Ning Li's room is next to him.
Lu Huaiyu came to the bed and put him down.
Ning Li's fingers were still tightly clutching his shirt.
As if sensing that he was going to leave, she frowned slightly, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
Then, she straightened up slightly, and pressed her forehead against his chest.
Smelling the cold and familiar scent of cedar, she rubbed her hands dependently, and then gradually settled down.
Lu Huai rolled his Adam's apple and couldn't help laughing.
"Ning Li."
"Why are you so delicate?"
