On New Year's Eve, the Su family gathered around the dining table to have a reunion dinner. Watching the lively Spring Festival Gala on TV, the Su family's mother and son each had their own concerns.
Mother Su put a piece of chicken into Su Zhengliang's bowl, "Xiao Liang, come on, eat more."
"Thank you, Mom," Su Zhengliang whispered, putting the chicken in his mouth and chewing it slowly.
After a while, Su Zhengliang pushed away his rice bowl and stood up, "Mom, sister, I'm full."
Seeing that there was still a lot of rice left in the rice bowl, Mother Su quickly stood up and shouted, "Xiao Liang, why did you just eat this little..."
Su Zhengqing pulled Su's mother's arm and said, "Mom, let Xiao Liang go. You can order some glutinous rice balls later and I will send them to him and have a good talk with him."
Mother Su shook her head helplessly, "Okay."
Su Zhengqing took a sip of chicken soup and complained, "Mom, Xiaoliang is in very bad spirits these days. Look at how thin he is. Even I can't bear it, but why do you..."
Mother Su felt aggrieved when her daughter told her, "Why didn't I know? I was doing this for him, right? If I had agreed to let them be together, I would have really harmed him. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain." It hurts. Now my mother is ruthlessly separating them, just because she doesn’t want to see anything worse than this. Although your brother didn’t resist my move, he insisted on going to the United States, and he went there for several years. You said, this is not Are you making it clear that you want to go against me?"
Su Zhengqing saw his mother's anger rising and immediately comforted her, "Mom, I understand what you are thinking, but have you ever thought about Xiaoliang's feelings? How could he and Lin Xiluo break off their relationship for so many years? Go to the United States.
I heard him say something about it, but he hadn't made a decision at that time, so I didn't tell you."
Mother Su muttered very worriedly, "I know he is suffering, but I can't help it. I don't know what your brother is thinking in his mind. He just said that he is going to the United States and staying there alone.
How can Mom feel at ease when you are not familiar with this place?"
Su Zhengqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, Xiaoliang is already such an old man, why are you worried? Are you still worried that he will be abducted by others?"
Mother Su shook her head, "That's not possible."
Su Zhengqing continued, "So, it's uncomfortable for us to see him like this now. It's better to let him go abroad to relax and let time dilute the pain in his heart."
Mother Su nodded slowly, "Qingqing, maybe you are right."
Su Zhengqing walked into Su Zhengliang's room carrying glutinous rice balls, and saw his younger brother standing by the window in a daze, "Xiao Liang, you didn't eat anything at night, eat some glutinous rice balls."
Su Zhengliang tilted his head slightly, his narrow eyes full of loneliness. He reached out to take the steaming bowl and said numbly, "Sister, where do you think he will be at this time?"
Su Zhengqing's pretty eyebrows twisted, "Xiao Liang, don't think about it, just eat the glutinous rice balls while they're hot."
Su Zhengliang didn't say anything. He scooped up a glutinous rice ball and put it to his mouth and took a bite. It was soft and glutinous, with a sweet sesame flavor. The memories in his heart slowly flashed before his eyes.
The winter vacation of my sophomore year coincided with the Lantern Festival. That night, I and Lin Xiluo secretly ran outside and played wildly for a long time. When they wanted to go back, they found that it was already past the time to return to the dormitory. But they had no choice but to run.
They stayed at a hotel near the school, and then the two of them did what they had to do naturally. What happened that night is still fresh in my memory. Although it hurt, I was happy with it.
Su Zhengqing saw his brother's wandering state and asked worriedly, "Xiao Liang, what's wrong with you?"
Su Zhengliang came back to his senses and forced a smile, "Sister, I'm fine, you go out first."
"Oh," Su Zhengqing was a little worried, but nodded and walked out.
Su Zhengliang put down the bowl and walked back to the window sill. It was almost nine o'clock. After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone ran to the door to set off fireworks. The dazzling fireworks, accompanied by a roaring sound, lit up most of the night sky.
His black eyes stared blankly at the red night sky, his heart as clear as water.
Linxiluo, are you okay?
The mobile phone placed on the table suddenly rang.
From morning to now, he has received many New Year greeting text messages and phone calls from relatives and friends. He must have been calling from some friend at this time.
Su Zhengliang frowned. At this time, he was not in the mood to answer the phone. Even though the phone rang for a long time, he did not answer it.
After a while, the phone rang again. Su Zhengliang picked up the phone angrily and saw that the caller was Lin Xiluo, with a touch of sadness on his fair face.
It's him calling, do you want to answer it?
What's the difference between picking up and not picking up? Let's forget it.
Shaking his head, Su Zhengliang put down his cell phone, took the bowl and walked out. By the time he finished cleaning the kitchen and returned to the room, it was already very late.
Rubbing his sore eyes, Su Zhengliang prepared to go to bed early. His sleep has not been very good these days. Thinking that he will go to the United States in a few days, he still wants to adjust his physical condition as soon as possible to adapt there.
time.
After hesitating for a while, Su Zhengliang picked up the phone. Thinking that this might be the last time he heard Lin Xiluo's voice, he dialed the other party's number.
As soon as the beep sounded in the receiver, the person on the other side answered it.
"You finally called me back, Su Zhengliang."
The sarcastic female voice with a weird accent came into Su Zhengliang's ears from the other end of the phone line, making his hair stand on end.
What is this voice?
Hearing this voice, Su Zhengliang had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Are you... Gu Xinyi?"
Gu Xinyi laughed darkly, "It's rare that you still remember my voice. It really moved me to tears..."
Su Zhengliang's eyes suddenly darkened, "Where is Lin Xiluo? Why is his phone number with you?"
Gu Xinyi chuckled, "Oh, don't be so nervous, Xiluo is sitting across from me now, sleeping soundly, but... I don't know whether he can survive the New Year's Eve tonight.
.”
Su Zhengliang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his whole body was cold. He could not suppress his wildly beating heart, "Gu Xinyi, what do you want?"
"What do I want? Haha, hahaha," Gu Xinyi suddenly laughed wildly, and the sharp and sinister laughter echoed in her ears, making Su Zhengliang's heart tremble. "What do I want... I want to use his life to pay tribute to those who were destroyed by him.
Take care of your family’s business.”
Su Zhengliang exclaimed in horror, "No, you can't do this!"
"Su Zhengliang, why should I listen to you? If it weren't for you, I would have married Xiluo a long time ago, and our Gu family would not be like this! So, I want to kill Lin Xiluo, destroy their Lin family, and let
You will suffer for the rest of your life!"
Su Zhengliang begged with a trembling voice, "Please don't hurt him! It's me you hate, don't transfer your hatred of me to him!"
Gu Xinyi was surprised by Su Zhengliang's reaction. Thinking that the fish had taken the bait, she asked quietly, "Then, are you willing to exchange yourself for him?"
