Chapter 547: New Year's Gift
After returning to my residence to pack my things, I drove Sun Xiaojie’s Porsche back to Chongqing.
There are quite a lot of cars on the expressway today, especially when passing through a tunnel or a certain underpass.
At this time, everyone is rushing home to celebrate the New Year. What they are most worried about is a car accident, but I actually encountered a car accident.
A car collided with a truck. The car was knocked out of the guardrail and the body of the car was severely deformed.
When I passed the scene of the car accident, I only saw doctors trying their best to save a woman.
There was a man lying next to him. When I passed by, I happened to see the doctor covering him with a white cloth. It was obvious that he was no longer alive.
Next to the woman stood a child covered in blood. Maybe he didn't understand anything and just stood there crying.
It's really heartbreaking to see such a scene. This was probably a family. They also rushed home to celebrate the New Year on this day, but an accident happened.
Maybe the elderly parents at home have prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and are waiting for them to go back.
The two elders kept looking at the way home, but other people's children had already returned, but there was no news about their own children.
At this time, the phone call came, from the police, telling the elders that their son and daughter-in-law would not be coming back.
What a huge blow this is to an ordinary family, and what a huge blow it is to that little child?
Those of us passing by can only feel sorry for this, but nothing will change it.
Sometimes I just think, if I had the ability to travel through time, I would definitely go back to the car accident and apologize, tell them to be careful, and be careful again!
The Chinese New Year is a good day in itself. Driving on the road is really slow, but you must not be anxious. Maybe this anxiety will last forever.
It usually takes more than three hours to drive back to Chongqing from Chengdu, but today it took a full five hours.
I started walking at 3:30 in the afternoon, and it was already 8:30 when I arrived in Chongqing.
After arriving in Chongqing, I called my mother and told her that I would not be back until tomorrow morning.
I had nowhere to go, so I had to call Huang Li again and temporarily stay at her place for one night.
After driving the car to Huang Li's hotel, she came out to pick me up in person. From a distance, I saw her wearing a red coat, as if to cater to the New Year atmosphere. She looked very suitable for the occasion and very beautiful.
After I parked the car, I walked towards her and said to her, "I'm sorry to bother you again."
"Stop saying any kind words. You can come to my place whenever you want. No one will stop you."
I smiled, looked her up and down and said, "Are you wearing red to cater to the New Year atmosphere?"
"Does it look good?"
"It's very nice. Happy New Year. I've prepared some New Year's gifts for you." As I said that, I handed her a pair of bracelets I bought from Chengdu.
"What is it? It's packed in such a delicate little box."
"A bracelet, open it and see if you like it?"
After Huang Li glanced at me, she opened the small box, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at me again and smiled and said: "You gave me clothes last time, and you gave me a bracelet this time. Are you going to give me a ring next time?"
"
"I don't mean anything else! It's just a small gift. It's not expensive. It's made of silver. I'm afraid you might think it's cheap."
"How come?"
With that said, Huang Li took the bracelet out of the box and put it on her wrist.
After dazzling it in front of me, he smiled and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks good on its own, but it doesn't look good when you put it on your hand."
Huang Li's smiling expression suddenly turned cold. She glanced at me and said, "Who are you trying to kill?"
I laughed "haha" and said, "I was just kidding you. Look, you take it seriously."
"Then tell me honestly if it looks good or not. If not, I'll give it back to you."
"It looks good, it really looks good, especially with your clothes."
Huang Li looked at it again, nodded as if satisfied, and said, "Then wear it for the New Year."
After following her into the hotel, she arranged for me to stay in the presidential suite where she had stayed before. In fact, I was very reluctant and thought an ordinary standard room would be fine.
But she wouldn't listen, saying that it wasn't open anyway and it would be the same wherever she slept.
After taking me to the room, she asked me to wait in the room for a while and told me not to leave the room.
I didn't know what she meant. After waiting for about half an hour, she finally came back, pushing a small dining cart in front of her.
There are several kinds of delicacies on the dining car, and the aroma of the delicacies immediately hits your face.
I quickly ran over to help and brought the dishes from the dining car to the table one by one.
Then I said to her: "It's too much trouble for you. I can just eat whatever I want. Why are you making it so rich?"
"Let you try some of the new dishes introduced by our hotel chef. See if they taste good."
"You've been using me as a guinea pig for a long time!" I said jokingly.
Huang Li rolled her eyes at me and said, "Others are not as blessed as this little guinea pig, so just be content!"
I smiled and said, "Oh! I'm joking with you, you don't even understand."
"Don't joke with me, I will take it seriously."
I nodded and sat down at the dining table with Huang Li. When we were preparing to eat, she suddenly took out a beautifully wrapped paper bag and handed it to me.
I asked curiously: "What is this?"
"You'll know after you open it and take a look." As she said that, she continued to eat with her head down.
I carefully opened the packaging bag. At first glance, it turned out to be a men's scarf, made of pure wool, but the workmanship was not very fine.
"Given to me?" I looked at Huang Li in surprise.
"You've already given me a gift. How can I be okay if I don't reciprocate the gift?"
"Then I'm not polite, I'll accept it, thank you!"
"I knitted this myself. You can try it on to see if it fits."
"What?!" I asked in great surprise, "Did you knit the scarf yourself?"
"Yes! It took me more than a week."
I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. This scarf was full of Huang Li's fragrance, and it smelled very good.
After hesitating for a moment, I wrapped it around my neck. The material was very comfortable. Although it was wool, it did not make people feel uncomfortable.
She came forward to help me arrange it again, and was very close to me, so close that I could see every eyelash of hers.
Seeing her looking so focused, a ripple suddenly appeared in my heart.
This is the first woman to give me a hand-knitted scarf. Not even Xiao Wei, who has been with me for seven years, has ever given me a scarf. None of the women around me know how to knit sweaters or anything like that.
It was said that it was so rough, but she knitted it herself. I was really touched.
After she helped me tidy up, she found a mirror and gave me a look.
I nodded with satisfaction and said, "It looks nice and warm. Thank you for your kindness. But why do you know how to knit a scarf?"
"I learned it! I saw my mother knitting sweaters for my father, so I asked her to teach me."
I smiled and said, "So, you learned it temporarily?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking of knitting a sweater for myself in the future. That would definitely mean a lot."
I nodded in agreement: "I remember when I was young, my mother would knit me a sweater every winter. The wool at that time was very rough and uncomfortable to wear. I didn't want to wear it every time. But now that I think about it, it's really...
Regret, those sweaters are long gone.”
