Bi Hongye hasn't spoken for a long time.

It was late at night, and through a flooded mobile phone screen, even people with big nerves like Yu Xiuxiu noticed the stagnation of the atmosphere.

"Does this chest of drawers not match my house? Put it opposite the bed in the master bedroom, above the chest of drawers, hang my "Gallop" and install two black spotlights on the ceiling. Isn't it beautiful?"

Yu Xiuxiu's spine became cold.

"Gaze" is a painting. That day, she saw it in Bi Hongye's studio. It should be her recent work. The painting has a blurred face, and the facial features cannot be seen clearly. Only her eyes are dark and deep. No matter from which angle, it seems to be looking at someone on the painting...

Yu Xiuxiu had to admit that it was a good work.

But if the chest of drawers faces the bed and puts such a picture on the chest of drawers, don’t you have nightmares at night?

"...To be honest, it's not very good. Of course, I'm not saying that the chest of drawers is not good or the painting is not good, but that they belong to another kind of exquisiteness. Putting it in the bedroom will make the air disperse a kind of decay. Our main style emphasizes the sense of belonging to home. It is temperature, the vitality that lives by light, the warm current, comfort, and softness. The residence of this heart. Teacher Hongye, if our style is described by a home, then the former is just art."

Yu Xiuxiu analyzed it thoroughly.

She thought this was not particularly unique and not profound. With Bi Hongye's artistic attainments, it was easy to understand what she was talking about.

Bi Hongye thought for a long time and replied like a self-questioning question.

"Is that so? I'll take a look."

Yu Xiuxiu was very surprised.

First, her tone was introverted and uncertain, and she was completely different from the free-spirited Bi Hongye.

Second, she was convinced so easily. Bi Hongye is a person who insists on his own opinions, and is even more confident and bold in matters related to professional fields.

Why did she become so timid and unconfident?

Yu Xiuxiu frowned and looked at the time for the third time.

"Teacher Hongye, this house has a long construction period, so don't worry, you can choose slowly. If you have time, I can accompany you to the home decoration market."

Bi Hongye: "Have I affected your rest?"

Yu Xiuxiu yawned. At 1:30 in the morning, her dark circles were almost blown out by Bi Hongye.

Humph! I want to be angry!

After stroking her messy hair, she stuffed her head into a soft pillow and smiled muffled.

"It's okay. Teacher Hongye, if you have any questions, you can communicate with me at any time. I will do my best to give the best solution. However, it is your home after all, and my ideas can only be referenced."

Bi Hongye: "Then are you free tomorrow? Let's talk about it when we meet?"

tomorrow?

So urgent?

Yu Xiuxiu opened the work memo and looked at the arrangements.

"OK."

~

The decoration of City Spring is very fast. Dayu attaches great importance to this project and is preparing to use it as a brand benchmark. Materials and labor are all priority.

Yu Xiuxiu and Bi Hongye made an appointment to meet at the construction site. The house was still doing hidden projects and water and electricity renovation, but there were dedicated people cleaning the construction site, so it would not feel messy.

Project manager Wu Tong was also there. The three of them exchanged opinions. Bi Hongye repeatedly asked Wu Tong when the construction could be completed and whether it could be done in advance?

Wu Tong pulled his eyebrows.

He is a "veteran" who has been through the battlefield and has seen all kinds of customers. However, there are very few people like Bi Hongye who are urging construction periods several times a day.

What is she anxious about?

Wu Tong led her to the gate.

"Teacher Hongye, look at this."

There is a display sign posted there with detailed project progress, "Conservatively estimated that it will take at least one year. Look, this villa is so large that it is only possible to do a fine job with slow work, so it is impossible to hurry..."

"One year?" Bi Hongye murmured.

Looking at the display board, it seemed that I was not looking at it.

"So long?" she said to herself.

Yu Xiuxiu pursed his lips and exchanged glances with Wu Tong, "We will speed up the construction progress. Manager Wu told me yesterday that they only took seven days off during the New Year, and everyone will be back soon..."

Bi Hongye: "Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."

She was absent-minded.

Next, Yu Xiuxiu took her to the two largest and best home improvement markets in Shanghai. However, Bi Hongye seemed to be a little drifty and was completely out of touch with chatting and speaking.

Yu Xiuxiu had no choice but to invite her to a bowl of fried noodles and sent her back to the studio.

This time, Bi Hongye did not invite her to sit up.

Yu Xiuxiu didn't dare to do it either.

...

In less than half a month, the Chinese New Year was celebrated.

The New Year atmosphere in the Yu family is extremely strong. Whether it is yesterday, today of the nouveau riche, or tomorrow when it is very likely to fall back into poverty again, they always regard this festival as the most important day and start preparing New Year's goods early. The family must be together, and then take at least two or three days to go back to the countryside to remember the bitterness and sweetness.

Dayu's civil engineering project is still waiting for the results of processing. During the Spring Festival, various departments have extremely low efficiency and no one can give them a definite reply, but there is no possibility of resuming work before the Spring Festival.

Yu Dazhuang was open-minded.

The company had a holiday early, not only longer than other companies' holidays, but also gave each employee a year-end bonus. Before the holiday, it held a simple annual meeting, mobile phones, pads, sweepers, rice cookers... all kinds of messy prizes, almost everyone had a share.

Happy employees, we went home one after another for the New Year.

Han Hui returned to his hometown in De City. Xie Mile followed Xie Jinyuan back to Yujia Village on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. Except for those on duty, the office was almost gone. The company suddenly became deserted, and Yu Xiuxiu was a little uncomfortable.

This is a cold winter.

She held her chin and looked out the window, thinking of Zhong Nan.

Without parents, it is the most difficult to celebrate the New Year alone? Is Zhong Lin still there to accompany you during the New Year...

Yu Xiuxiu thought for a while and sent a message to Zhong Lin.

"Handsome guy, are you going home for the New Year?"

Zhong Lin: "Go back."

Yu Xiuxiu: "What about my brother?"

Zhong Lin: "Go back!"

Yu Xiuxiu: "...Which home did he go back to?"

Zhong Lin: "Of course it's his own."

Yu Xiuxiu: “…goodbye!”

When talking to this person, she was easily led to a deviation. She decided to ask Zhong Nan herself. So she got a vaccination with her parents early, and made an appointment with Aunt Liu to prepare the ingredients and invite Zhong Nan to dinner.

Aunt Liu and her family moved here and rarely returned to Yujia Village in recent years. However, the Spring Festival is closed, and the three of them have packed their luggage and will travel to Xishuangbanna tomorrow for the New Year.

Yu Xiuxiu laughed.

"Aunt Liu, you and my uncle are quite fashionable."

"He has a cold legs and likes to run to the Heat."

When Aunt Liu saw her cooking, she felt comfortable and cheerful. She asked with a smile: "Don't worry, if you want to help your aunt take care of the house, I will give you the keys. You can do whatever you want to cook. You can use whatever you want at home."

"No, no, no." Yu Xiuxiu smiled so hard that his eyes bent, "We will go back to our hometown in two days."

"Oh." Aunt Liu lowered her head and glanced at Huo Zhongnan who was sitting opposite Dazhuang, "Wait, do you like that young man?"

"..." The whole world can see it?

Why can’t Zhong Nan see it himself!?

Yu Xiuxiu caressed the face that was hot due to the fire of the stove.

"He is my brother."

Aunt Liu smirked, "Your mother only gave birth to a brother for you. Where did you get your brother? I saw that the child was handsome and had nothing to say. He was a real person. He looked good and his family was also good... Let's have a break. If you see it's appropriate, start early."

"Start early?" Yu Xiuxiu was puzzled.

Aunt Liu looked like a person who had experienced it and sighed, "Your uncontrollable mother was spoiled by your father when she was young, so she would definitely not be able to teach you any experience. You listen to your aunt, a good boy, a family, and a hundred families, which girl doesn't like it? If you don't start earlier, you will be snatched first... Why, are you willing to call your sister-in-law?"

“…”

So heartbreaking!

What would it feel if Zhong Nan had a girlfriend and asked her to call her sister-in-law?

Yu Xiuxiu picked up a piece of firewood and pressed it on her knees, breaking it with a "pop", and she said with a ruthless voice, "Impossible, it's impossible in this life. This little brother is mine."

"How can I turn him into yours?"

Aunt Liu winked at her, and she was a picture of a wolf aunt who taught the little girl, "It's a good opportunity for the New Year and the Festival."
