After the short journey of witnessing love, Xu Mu felt a little unstable and often clicked on that person's WeChat to see the few messages between the two.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when she opened the chat box for the countless time, she first did something that took her a while to react to—change someone's "Nine Palaces" remark to "Gong Jiujue."
"Happy New Year" messages followed.
He replied instantly.
Xu Mu stared blankly at the chat box, looking at the repeated four words he sent, and felt inexplicably excited.
Little Gray Rabbit: In a few days, I will have dinner with Little Fat Meow and my sister-in-law’s family. Will you come
Jiugong: Not coming.
Little Gray Rabbit: That’s great.
Little Gray Rabbit: Being able to meet the family members of good friends also feels like a kind of recognition.
Ninth Palace: Little light bulb.
Little Gray Rabbit: Shut up (⊙x⊙)!
The New Year is here, and every household is dressed up to be particularly festive. Xu Mu also went against the norm and bought a small scarlet skirt.
A bright red bow tied around a finger-sized ponytail, and the red and black outfit made the girl's skin even more white and dazzling.
Zui Tianju.
It's still a familiar quaint restaurant.
As far as the eye can see, there are big red posts with black calligraphy writing on them, with the word "福" written on them.
A wooden guardrail separates the rockery from the corridor. In the pond, the water flows gently and koi carp play.
Gu Xiaoyou was wearing a white shirt, a red and blue plaid skirt today, and a Chinese-style retro vermilion knitted jacket.
Once you get into the group of sisters, there will be endless things to say.
He Rongqing was used to her forgetful behavior when seeing friends. He was carried by the shoulders by the equally lonely Xu Zitu who was passing by and drove to a corner.
As soon as they finished the fight, some of the dishes were served. Ji Xiangsi, He Linglong and He's father have all arrived. They are now surrounding the three little girls, smiling and handing out red envelopes.
Not long after, Xu's father and Xu's mother also arrived. The only thing missing from the gathering of the three families was Dad Gu from the Education Bureau, who was temporarily handling matters.
"Let's all eat first, we don't have to wait for him. We're dealing with official business temporarily and we don't know how long it will be done." Ji Xiangsi warmly greeted everyone to use their chopsticks.
The two fathers were happy on this great day, changing glasses of wine and talking about each other's work and the current social situation, like brothers they hadn't seen for a long time.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late." Dad Gu came late and began to apologize as soon as he entered the door.
Father Xu seemed to be a little drunk, his eyes were slightly tipsy, and he held up a small white porcelain wine glass, "Brother Gu will have to punish himself with three drinks."
Dad Gu continued to chat and sat down, his heavy coat stained with the wind and frost outside.
Xu Mu was amused by Bai Xingwu's topic and narrowed her eyes. For a moment, she didn't notice that there was another person sitting opposite.
Xu Mu, who was in a good mood and had a great appetite, was about to add more food. When he got up and turned the table, he noticed that there was an extra person in his field of vision.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
The dusty memories came back to her mind. When the person who gave her hope that year but also gave her despair suddenly appeared in front of her,
She didn't know how pale she looked when she left the dinner table, nor how staggering her steps were at that time.
Xu Mu only knew that at that moment she tried her best to tell everyone that she was fine, then turned around and rushed out of the hotel.
Under the dim yellow streetlight, there was a tall and straight figure leaning quietly on the cold winter night.
He was salvation, reappearing in her life.
At that moment, Xu Mu had only one thought in his mind.
She didn't ask, "Why are you here?" "Why don't you go in?"
She only knew that he was here for her.
The hot tears in her eyes could no longer stop, and her cheeks turned red.
Xu Mu said, "Can you take me away?"
Gong Jiujue didn't answer but asked: "Follow me?"
Xu Mu said nothing, thought for a moment, and nodded.
The headlights of the black sports car parked in the hidden shadow flickered on and off, disappearing in the distance amid the howling wind.
Under the light of Zuixiangju, two gray shadows stood together.
"As early as when I was doing the divination, I knew subconsciously that she might leave..."
He Rongqing said nothing, but hugged her gently from behind.
"Will we meet again?"
