Because they had just finished their meal at Shen's house, neither Mu Yuchen nor Xi Xiaye could eat much on the table. They ate a few symbolic mouthfuls, drank half a bowl of soup and put it away.
After dinner, it was the start of the bustle. The sound of fireworks was constantly heard from around, and the fireworks rushing into the night sky flickered, illuminating the entire night sky.
Tonight is full of stars, the sky is as cool as autumn water, and the cool wind is a bit bleak, but it can't cool people's enthusiasm and excitement tonight...
When Mu Yuchen came out of the bathroom wearing a black nightgown, there was no woman in the bedroom. After thinking about it, he casually put on a belt and walked out of the bedroom.
The side hall and the study room are quiet, and they must be busy with them below, or watching TV.
He slowly sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and saw the cigarette packs lying aside, he leisurely took one and lit it.
Just after taking a few breaths, he suddenly heard the sound of fireworks exploding from downstairs outside. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the balcony, only to find that the yard in front of his house was setting off fireworks. , and their voices can still be vaguely heard.
He flicked the ash on the cigarette with his slender fingertips, then got up and walked to the balcony.
Standing against the railing, he saw the servants, butlers and their family in the yard below setting off fireworks, and the gorgeous fireworks soaring into the sky were colorful and extremely dazzling. Their laughter and laughter came to his ears , It seemed to make him feel a little happy in his heart.
The deep eyes searched around indifferently, and soon found the little woman standing on the side of the stairs, silently looking up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky...
I saw her standing quietly under the fireworks, looking at the wind, with a peaceful smile on her face, not like her usual coldness and indifference.
"Young Madam, come and play with us!"
The servant handed her a flaming firework, but she smiled happily and shook her head slightly, "Go ahead and play, I'll just watch."
"Master!"
Hearing someone shouting that suddenly, Xi Xiaye turned around slowly, followed their gazes, and saw a man standing on the balcony leaning on the railing.
Seeing that he held a burning cigarette between his fingers, he was leisurely entertaining himself for a while, but his unfathomable eyes fell on her indifferently.
Lowering her eyebrows and hesitating for a moment, she turned around and walked into the house.
When he returned to the room, he was no longer on the balcony, and the gauze curtain on the balcony was drawn. In the side hall, there was only a dim wall lamp, which was shining with a faint warm light. The door of the study room was half closed. There was a faint light shining through the cracks.
She turned and closed the door, walked lightly, and walked towards the study.
Just when she opened the door, she saw him standing under a high bookshelf holding a book and flipping through it leisurely from a distance. After a moment of silence, she turned around and poured a glass of water, pushed the door open and walked in.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man who was concentrating suddenly raised his head from the pages of the book and looked towards the door. Her slender figure caught his eyes, making his silent eyes glow a little.
"Why don't you play with them?"
He asked in a low tone.
Miss Xia Ye walked over slowly, handed him the water in her hand, and responded with a sigh, "I feel that my age of playing fireworks has passed, grandparents and parents are playing mahjong..."
He smiled, took the water, took a sip, and closed the book, "They probably lived like this in the past, just get used to it."
Xia Ye also smiled happily, "Well, in fact, it's not bad to have a pastime like this. I think that grandpa and mother are probably watching the Spring Festival Gala around the TV now. Although those programs are not satisfactory, it still has some atmosphere."
"Didn't grandma push you to go into battle just now, and she will be your military adviser?"
Mu Yuchen certainly didn't forget that just after dinner, Wang Hui had already spoken, saying that Miss Xia Ye would go into battle tonight, and she would retreat behind the scenes as a military adviser.
"I… "
Xi Xiaye was naturally embarrassed to say that she almost lost all of Wang Hui's money, so Wang Hui got anxious and had to go out and win it back by herself.
Seeing her dejected look, Mu Yuchen knew the general idea, handed her the booklet, and walked towards the desk, "Their qualifications are more than ten or twenty years old, so you are naturally no match for them."
She took the book and put it back on the empty space on the shelf next to her. Looking at the large row of books, she said calmly, "Did you always play like this in the past?"
"In the past few years abroad, there is no atmosphere at home, and I have hardly lived. I usually only rest and entertain at home when I am on vacation." He took the mobile phone on the table, put one hand on Xia Ye's shoulder, and walked outside , "Let's go, watch TV with you."
“There are some programs on TV…”
She followed his footsteps obediently, while looking up at him, she was not very keen on watching TV, she thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we play chess, isn't there a chessboard in the side hall?"
I didn't notice it when I came back last time. I didn't want to come back this time, but suddenly there was an extra set of Go on the side of the coffee table.
"What reward will I get if I win?"
After Xia Ye's voice fell, a certain person had already started to use his profiteering skills that he was unwilling to suffer, and looked at her with squinted eyes.
She paused, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at him, "We'll wait until you win!"
"It's better to be clear now."
He responded disapprovingly, and suddenly stopped, looking down at her—after changing her high heels, she looked even more petite and thin.
She took a breath, and shrugged her shoulders quite easily, "Okay, tell me about your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you, Mr. Mu."
"As long as it can be done? Including your kiss?"
He said this indifferently, a faint light flickered in his black eyes, and he looked at her with a half-smile.
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment, and after a while, her little face flushed slightly. She couldn't help but clenched her fist and waved it in front of him, "Including this!"
Mu Yuchen couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He had seen her like this more than once. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Ma'am, when I first saw you, I thought you were an elegant and quiet beautiful woman." .”
Upon hearing his praise, Miss Xia Ye was suddenly surprised, and couldn't help laughing, "Am I really as good as you say?"
"I found out afterwards that my eyesight skills still need to be strengthened. Only when I can see the essence through the phenomenon can I truly cultivate my sharp eyes. Unfortunately, I can no longer return the product."
He spoke in a low voice, and couldn't help raising his hand to touch her little head again, but a perfect arc appeared on his noble and handsome face.
