"It'll be good when you come back. You don't have to bring so many things. We have everything at home." Aunt Lu packed up the pile of gifts Qi Si brought and suddenly saw a beautiful bag, "This is for Yanyan, right? It's a little dress."
"
Qi Si was drinking water, glanced at it, and said softly: "Yeah."
Luo Yan raised his eyes and looked over.
Aunt Lu chuckled lightly, "You can also buy girls' clothes. Come on, Yanyan, go try on the new clothes your brother bought you, just in time to wear them for the New Year."
Luo Yan pursed her lips and took it, then went to the bedroom.
When he came out again, Aunt Lu had already laid out the New Year's Eve dinner. Qi Si was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw the bedroom door opened, their eyes focused on it.
Qi Lu paused slightly, "Oh..."
Luo Yan tucked up the hem of her skirt and felt a little unnaturally on her fair face, "It seems... a little too small."
It's smaller, much smaller.
It was tightly wrapped around her body, and the waistline and sleeves were not in the right place. This kind of length and width could only be worn by her two years ago.
And in fact, the style is also more cute, a childish skirt, suitable for junior high school students.
In Qi Si's eyes, is she so young?
Qi Lu was so funny, "Sure enough, this is the first time I buy clothes for a girl. Yanyan is at the age when little girls love beauty. What you bought is the style worn by elementary school students. Even the size is wrong."
Qi Si looked at the little girl. She had bright eyes, white teeth, black hair and red lips. Her face had lost its childlike look. She had grown so big.
It is true that she is now a high school student, but his memory still stops when she was a child.
It's really been a long time since we last seen each other, and he still thought he was always so young.
"Sorry, I'll buy you a suitable one another day."
"It's okay, I have a lot of clothes."
In the end, Luo Yan spent New Year's Eve wearing her own clothes.
After New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone in the town likes to go to the square. Every New Year’s Eve, tall red lanterns are hung in the streets and alleys. Vendors sell all kinds of fun things. A high stage is set up in the square and troupes sing.
,Very lively.
Luo Yan put on her coat and was already waiting excitedly in the living room for Aunt Lu to put away her makeup and draw her eyebrows. Qi Lu asked her if she looked good.
Luo Yan's eyes sparkled, "It's very beautiful, even without describing it."
Qi Lu smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, "She has been sweet-mouthed since she was a child."
"Asi, are you okay? Let's go out together."
Qi Si was wiping his hands after washing the dishes, "Okay, let's go."
The lanterns on the long street were brightly lit, and people wearing new clothes came out. The street was crowded but festive. Luo Yan fell in love with the bright deer antler headband, and when she wanted to give money, the people around her paid first.
Looking sideways, Qi Si's chiseled profile came into view. Under his dark eyes were clear eyelashes. His nose was high and his features were exactly the same as those of Aunt Lu. He was so handsome that his heart beat faster.
The person selling trinkets was an aunt from the Sun family. Everyone in the village knew her. Aunt Sun looked very blessed and had a loud voice. "Oh, isn't this Qi Si? He has such a good figure. He must be Alu to raise a child."
, the two children are both beautiful and beautiful, it seems that our little Yanyan is now a beautiful girl, we are so lucky."
Qi Lu smiled and chatted with Aunt Sun. Someone knocked on Luo Yan's back. When she turned around, she saw Lu An and Ji Qingbai smiling.
When she met her friends, Luo Yan went to play with them.
Lu An bought a lot of fairy sticks and fireworks and planned to go to the open space to set off fireworks after the show.
The opera troupe in the square had already begun to sing, and crowds of people gathered around to watch. There were too many people, and Luo Yan's view from the outside was really not good. He kept stepping on his feet to find a place, but he couldn't stand firmly.
He only kept his hand on Lu An's shoulder to keep him steady.
Lu An, who was tall and big, glanced at her with his hands folded, and said in a arrogant tone, "Would you like me to lift it up for you to see?"
"No," Luo Yan raised her chin and looked hard at the stands, "You can lift the Qingbai."
"I don't need it either." Ji Qingbai curled his lips. There happened to be a brick under her feet, and she had a good view.
Not far away, there were several young men smoking. The one in the middle looked fat, but his face was very white, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Who is that person over there wearing antlers? When did we have a little beauty in our town?"
Several people around him looked over after hearing this, and saw the girl over there who was trying hard to put her feet up to watch the show. She was wearing a red dress, her waistline was extremely thin, her eyebrows were clear, and her facial features were still very eye-catching under the unevenly distributed light in the square.
"Hiss, it's that one...Luo Yan!"
"Luo Yan?" Liu Xiaopang probed her head and continued to look at her, and caught a glimpse of Lu An beside her, "It's really her."
I still remember that when I was little, I was a skinny little person. In the blink of an eye, I became so impressive in high school.
The young man next to him smiled lightly, "She was like a tomboy when she was a child. She used to fight with us every day, but now she has completely transformed and is quite good-looking."
"Let's go and say hello."
Probably because the play had reached its climax, more and more people were watching the play, and the whole square was almost filled with water. Luo Yan was slowly squeezed into the inner floor by people, "It's so crowded. Why don't you stop watching? What am I going to do?"
I can’t even see it…”
Looking back, there is still a trace of him there.
Lu An and Ji Qingbai had been squeezed away by the crowd at some point.
There was a burst of gongs and drums on the stage, making it very lively, and the crowd became restless, and there was no gap left in the crowd.
Luo Yan was so squeezed that she struggled to move out, but suddenly there was a huge push from the side, and she was about to fall to the side like a splash in the waves——
Suddenly someone was holding me on the shoulder, dragging me two steps back, and hitting someone on the chest with my back. The first thing that became clear on the tip of my nose was a clear and gentle fragrance.
The man's strong heartbeat could be heard through his thin back...
"Too many people."
Luo Yan didn't need to look back, he knew who it was by hearing the voice.
Qi Si helped her stand firm, "Do you still want to watch?"
"Don't watch anymore."
"Take you out."
"good."
It was too crowded, so Qi Si took her wrist and opened a way for her in front. Being tall was good, so the people behind him had a wide path to get out.
Luo Yan followed behind, looking up at the man's broad back, his wrists feeling faintly hot.
It was already getting late when he left the square. Qi Si looked at the time and asked, "Go home?"
"I made an agreement with Qing Bai and the others to set off fireworks together," Luo Yan looked around, "I want to find them."
"Where are you going to find them when they're crowded like that? It's too late. It's not safe for you to be out there alone. Go home."
The person opposite was silent.
The streets here are empty and the light is dim, but the antlers on the little girl's head are clearly bright. After watching her for a few seconds, Qi Si moved his lips, "Can I go with you?"
Luo Yan raised her eyes, and saw that the man's features were stern, but his voice was gentle, as if he was compromising.
She nodded.
To set off the fireworks, you had to buy fireworks. The two walked back for a while and entered the shop. Qi Si directly took the biggest fireworks salute. Luo Yan was surprised when he saw it. It was good to set off fireworks with adults. You can play with such a big one.
Their children set off small hand-held fireworks poles together.
When he went out, he met Liu Xiaopang and others, and Luo Yan said hello.
They didn't go to the same high school, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but she still recognized a few of them at a glance.
Liu Xiaopang, who was greeted by the greeting, was stunned, looked at her blankly and then looked away, "Happy New Year to you too..."
After saying just one sentence, his ears started to feel hot.
Qi Si glanced over and took a step forward. Luo Yan followed him and trotted over. After a while, his figure disappeared into the alley.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu! Everyone is gone."
Seeing that Liu Xiaopang seemed to be possessed, several friends deliberately laughed and joked, "Enemies turn into white moonlight?"
Following Qi Si to the open space, he started to light the two barrels of salute cannons, "Stand far away."
"oh."
After lighting the fire, he retreated to Luo Yan, and the fireworks roared into the sky, instantly spreading the night.
Amidst the festive explosions, Luo Yan raised her head and arched her eyebrows, her eyes reflecting the bright night sky.
This was the happiest moment for her today, even happier than when she was waiting for Qi Si to come back at home.
After setting off the fireworks, the two walked home side by side. They didn't talk much on the way. Qi Si just asked her about her studies like an elder and didn't say much.
Counting the two people's footprints, Luo Yan said, "Will you return to Weicheng to work after graduation next year?"
"No reply," the man's voice was magnetic and low in the night, but Luo Yan's heart tightened when he heard it, "After graduation, I will go directly to the UK to study for graduate school. The results of both postgraduate programs in December have been released, and I will defend my graduation thesis next semester.
I’m leaving as soon as I’m done.”
Luo Yan lowered her eyes, "Does Aunt Lu know?"
"I plan to come back and tell her in person. She has always supported me in whatever I do, and there will never be any disagreements in communication."
"Indeed," Luo Yan raised her lips, "Aunt Lu must be very happy that you are so good."
