071: Countdown to the ending (11) 071: Countdown to the ending (11)
His sharp eyes were far away, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of inquiry, and he asked casually: "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Silan thought for a moment and whispered: "I don't want to be a good wife and mother. If I don't take care of you now, how will I take care of the children I adopt in the future!"
"There is me and a nanny..." Lan Sichen said lightly, looking at her with gentle eyes, "I don't want you to work so hard."
"You have to be responsible for making money, and I'm responsible for taking care of you and your children..." Longing flashed in Shui's eyes, and before Lan Sichen could speak, he continued, "Being a husband and raising children is something I have always dreamed of. Don't let me
The dream is shattered!”
Lan Sichen listened to her quietly without speaking, his eyes flickering on and off.
***.
Silan and Xu Ningmo did not attend the annual meetings of the two companies, leaving it to their secretary. Even Lan Ruixiu invited them to attend Tianlan's company annual meeting, but they refused. The two of them hid at home and had a good time.
comfortable.
It’s the 29th year of the year. This year everyone is going to Si Lan to celebrate the New Year. There are a lot of things to prepare. Even the hourly workers who usually come to clean are now here full time. Xu Ningmo paid four times the salary.
Si Lan opened her eyes early in the morning, and they were so pale that it stung her. She closed them for a long time and then opened them to see the scenery outside the window. Her whole body became active. She immediately picked up the bathrobe on the side and wrapped it around her body, and stepped on the carpet with her bare feet.
(Lan Sichen couldn't change her bad habit of not wearing slippers when she got out of bed, so she had to buy carpets to lay in the bedroom and living room.)
Lan Sichen was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and when she heard the door open, she knew she was awake. Before she could speak, Silan hurriedly ran through the living room, opened the door, and ran straight down...
"Asi..." Lan Sichen's eyes finally stayed on her bare feet. He raised his head and looked at the scene outside. His face involuntarily darkened, and he strode outside with rapid strides.
"It's snowing... it's snowing... it's really snowing..." Si Lan stepped on the cold snow with his bare feet, his pink cheeks turned red from the cold, and he ran on the snow like a spin, seemingly not feeling anything at all.
cold.
Lan Sichen ran out after him and saw her walking barefoot on the snow, wearing only pajamas and a bathrobe. Her face was dark and she was furious!
Si Lan seemed unaware, turned around and saw Lan Sichen's dark face with a bright and bright smile, "Si Chen...it's snowing...look...it's snowing!"
"When I was a kid, I heard someone say that snowing on the New Year's Day is a good sign. Snow heralds a good year!"
Lan Sichen strode past, and picked her up with his strong arms. The moment she soared into the air, Si Lan reflexively hugged his neck, "Sichen..."
"Are you crazy?" Lan Sichen said with a cold face and a sharp voice as he walked home: "It's such a cold day, wearing so little, stepping barefoot on the snow, do you want to freeze yourself to death?"
Only then did Silan realize that he was so excited that he forgot all about it for a moment and shrank into his arms, "I'm so happy! I haven't seen such heavy snow in many years."
Lan Sichen glanced at her and said nothing else. He just quickened his pace and took her into the warm room.
When Si Lan was placed on the sofa, Lan Sichen sat aside. His eyes fell on her beautiful feet, and her white toes were all red from the cold. He held Si Lan's feet with one hand, and the other
He swept away the hem of his clothes with his hands and placed her cold, temperatureless feet directly against his belly. There was no obstruction from the clothes, and their skin touched each other.
Si Lan was startled and wanted to retract his feet, "Si Chen, Liang."
"Shut up!" Lan Sichen glared at her angrily, holding her feet down with his big hands to prevent her from moving, using his own body temperature to warm her coldness, "If you move any more, I will throw you into the artificial lake behind the community.
inside."
Si Lan's heart felt warm, and her cold hands held his face mischievously, "Si Chen, don't be angry, I'm not afraid of the cold!"
Lan Sichen's face was still gloomy, but he did not avoid her cold hand, "Do you like snow so much?"
"When I was a kid, I was bored in the orphanage. What I looked forward to most was that it would snow in the winter and I could build a snowman. But then there were fewer and fewer opportunities for snow in the city, and my expectations gradually turned into despair!" Silan said, looking sideways.
Looking out the window at the icy and snowy land, covered in silver, the corners of his mouth turned up, "I didn't expect it would snow so heavily this year."
"Sichen, did it snow during the years when I was away?"
"No!" Lan Sichen let go of her feet and put them against his belly. He held her hands with both hands and kept rubbing them in an attempt to make them warmer. "No matter how much you like it, don't step on it with bare feet."
Don’t forget to wear clothes on the snow.”
"Okay, I remember." Si Lan said with a smile, and when Lan Sichen's expression had just softened, he added, "Even if I forget, you are still there to remind me!"
With her eyebrows raised and a hint of helplessness in her eyes, Lan Sichen took out her feet and turned to the entrance to get a pair of slippers. They were pink, furry and had two small ears, and a smiling dog slipper.
He knelt down and put the shoes on Si Lan himself.
Silan was speechless when she saw the pink color and those two ears. "I'm not sixteen, you actually bought me such a cute thing... I'm really not used to it!"
Lan Sichen stood up and squinted at her, "It's much better than that pink piggy of yours."
Si Lan said with a straight face and a soft voice: "Don't talk about my pink pig."
Lan Sichen's eyes were filled with smiles, as if helpless and doting. He turned around and went to the kitchen. Si Lan turned his head and looked out the window. The brightness in his eyes faded little by little, and there was a layer of it that he couldn't remove.
Haze. As if those happy moments just now were just a fantasy and never happened.
When he came back to his senses, he was stimulated by the smell of ginger. The ginger soup cooked by Lan Sichen was emitting white smoke, and he coaxed softly: "Drink it up."
Silan shook his head, "Don't drink it! It tastes terrible!"
"Asian..." Lan Sichen narrowed his eyes, his serious expression seemed to be angry.
"Old rules, I have one sip, you have three sips!" It was just like how he coaxed her to eat.
Lan Sichen sighed deeply, feeling helpless again. She took a sip and then drank three sips by herself.
"Have we been mistaken all along? In fact, you are more noisy than Helianze."
Si Lan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lan, for the compliment!"
***
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Ruixiu came over with Lianlian in his arms, Lan Yunsheng came with Helianze in his arms, and Ji Fengwen held his wife in his arms... As for Lin Jiu, the water thrown by the married daughter was naturally with Ling.
Jiuyue’s parents celebrate the New Year.
There was Xu Ningmo and the hourly worker in the kitchen, and the originally deserted house suddenly became lively. Si Lan was really not used to sitting on the sofa.
Looking at this scene, it seems that everyone has found their own happiness.
It would be even better if Lan Ruixiu could meet a girl worthy of his sincere pursuit.
He Lianze hadn't seen Lian Lian for a long time. When he saw Lian Lian, he immediately went over to him and refused to let go of the child. Lan Ruixiu was so happy that he let him hold her. Lan Yunsheng was a little bit annoyed by that idiot holding the child.
My smile is much more rippling than when I hugged myself... (Author: Lan Yunsheng, you are shameless even for your child's jealousy!)
Si Lan watched him holding the child and playing with a smile in his eyes. Now several grown men are pampering Lian Lian like a princess. Presumably Lian Lian will be a simple and happy little princess when she grows up.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, several people tacitly stuffed red envelopes to Lian Lian, who made her the youngest little person.
Lan Yunsheng stood aside, coughed lightly, and looked at Lan Ruixiu with deep meaning. Helianze looked at the two of them incomprehensively, feeling like they were being plotted against!
Xu Ningmo brought over a cup of tea and handed it to Lan Yunsheng first. Lan Yunsheng took it and handed it to Helianze, "Here's some tea for brother."
"Huh?" Helianze opened his eyes wide. Is this filming a TV series?
Serving tea? It’s so funny!
"This is the rule of the Lan family's daughter-in-law! Newcomers must offer tea to their elders." Now Lan Ruixiu is like an elder brother and a father!
"Bah!" He Lianze rolled his eyes at Lan Yunsheng in displeasure, "Damn it! You are my wife! Why don't you serve tea to the old witch!"
Mrs. Song, who was sitting next to Lan Ruixiu, smiled brightly, "Who said he doesn't respect tea?"
When Si Lan came out, she was holding another teacup. When she looked at Helianze with her watery eyes, she was filled with ridicule, "Tea, there's a red envelope for you!"
Helianze curled his lips and raised his head but refused to take the cup in Lan Yunsheng's hand.
"Good boy, tea!" Lan Yunsheng said in a good voice, but Helianze was indifferent. He took a step forward, put his ear to Helianze's ear and said something unknown. Helianze's eyes lit up and he immediately took it.
Tea, bowed to Lan Ruixiu, and said obediently: "Brother, drink tea."
Lan Ruixiu snorted and took the teacup, took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to Helianze.
Helianze took it in his hand and squeezed it. It was so thin! Could it only be a hundred dollars? Damn it, then go back and beat it to death.
Lan Yunsheng took the tea cup from Si Lan's hand, bowed to Mrs. Song, and said politely: "Auntie, drink tea."
"That unsatisfactory brat will be taken care of by you from now on. You wish for good luck!" Mrs. Song looked at Lan Yunsheng with sympathetic eyes and sealed a red envelope for him.
Lan Yunsheng took it with both hands and said thank you.
He Lianze had already opened the red envelope and found that it was actually a black card. He put it to his lips and kissed it several times. He flattered Lan Ruixiu and said, "Thank you, brother. I didn't expect him to be so generous.
Ha ha……"
A global limited edition black card with no limit... Winning five million is nothing in comparison...
Si Lan was a little confused and moved quietly to Lan Yunsheng's side. Looking at the extremely excited He Lianze, he asked him in a low voice, "What did you just say to him?"
"Nothing..." Lan Yunsheng replied calmly, "I just told him that as long as he serves tea and goes back in the evening, let him be there."
Si Lan囧. Doesn’t Helianze know that he has to stay up late tonight... How is that possible!
"How could Lan Ruixiu be so generous as to give him a limited edition black card?" Silan asked again. Lan Ruixiu doesn't seem like such a good person.
Lan Yunsheng answered more calmly: "The condition for using the black card is that Helianze has to manage the G&A company for the rest of his life, without any salary."
g&a has been acquired by Lan Ruixiu and is now owned by Lan Ruixiu's company.
Si Lan's forehead was covered with black lines, and he looked sympathetically at Helianze, who was floating in the clouds. He didn't even know that he had been bought out for life by a black card...
Who said Lan Sichen was the only one in the Lan family who was shady? In fact, none of the three brothers in the Lan family was shady.
Seeing that Si Lan looked embarrassed, Lan Yunsheng added, "Don't worry, if you enter the Lan family, Lan Ruixiu and I will never do anything to you."
"Why?" Silan looked at him suspiciously, not quite believing what he said. Helianze was his wife, and he was slandering her. How could he be so kind to her, not to mention that he had always been jealous of Helianze's kindness to him.
Lan Yunsheng glanced at Lan Sichen and lowered his voice: "Because none of us can defeat Lan Sichen."
Si Lanhan, should you be glad that Lan Sichen is relatively gloomy?
"When will you get married?" Lan Yunsheng rarely asked about their affairs.
The smile on Si Lan's face was a little unnatural. His watery eyes fell on Lan Sichen, and happened to meet Lan Sichen's gaze. The two looked at each other and smiled, and their low voices seemed to have deep meaning, "The year of the monkey is the year of the horse."
As night falls, colorful fireworks continue to bloom in the black sky, reflecting on the white snow.
He Lianze was put into a black and old-fashioned down jacket by Lan Yunsheng. He complained about Lan Yunsheng's aesthetics, but he didn't take it off. Because the dark and embarrassing down jacket was still very warm on his body. Hug.
Holding a handful of fireworks sticks and two fireworks, he said excitedly: "Baby, let's go out and set off fireworks!"
Mrs. Song left not long after. She said she had made an appointment with some wealthy ladies to play mahjong. Their young people's activities were definitely not suitable for her...
Silan was fine anyway and nodded in agreement. Lan Sichen and Lan Ruixiu were rarely in the mood and accompanied them out to set off fireworks. Before going out, Lan Sichen specially brought Silan gloves and a scarf, wrapping her up like a
Only koalas are allowed out.
Because the surroundings were too noisy, Lianlian couldn't sleep, so she was always taken care of by the hourly worker.
The seven people walked forward vigorously, with Silan and Helianze walking at the front. Ji Fengwen pulled Yunsu and walked at the back. In front was Lan Sichen. He couldn't help laughing and said: "It's been so many years."
It's been such a lively time, and I haven't seen you smile like this for a long time."
In the dark, Lan Sichen's eyes were always following Silan's figure, with a faint smile on his thin lips, "With Helianze, everywhere will be lively."
Monsoon was undeniable, he turned to look at Yun Su and asked with concern, "Is it cold?"
Yun Su shook her head and smiled at him.
Helianze found a place to put the fireworks, took out the lighter from his pocket, lit it and Lan Yunsheng couldn't wait to pull him away.
Lan Sichen didn't know when he walked up to Si Lan and covered her ears with both hands. When the two of them looked at the night sky at the same time, the fireworks that jumped into the sky exploded instantly, colorful and extremely beautiful!
Helianze's hand was held in Lan Yunsheng's palm. He couldn't break free and was too lazy to break free. They looked up side by side at the fireworks that kept blooming...
Pairs of lovers admired the beautiful and short-lived fireworks. Lan Rui stood alone, with his hands in his pockets, because there was no hand for him to hold.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the spring-like smile on Si Lan's face. Her eyes were always lingering between the fireworks and Lan Sichen. Her happy smile seemed to own the whole world.
Recently, I have slowly raised my smile, but with a hint of unknown bitterness.
No matter how brilliant the fireworks are, they are fleeting, like shooting stars. The most beautiful moment is also when life comes to an end. The eyes of Lan Sichen and Si Lan reflected these colorful colors, and they pointed their fingers
Holding tightly together becomes each other's only source of warmth in this world.
After the fireworks were set off, Helianze distributed the fireworks sticks to Si Lan, Lan Sichen, Lan Yunsheng, and Lan Ruixiu. All three of them thought this was retarded and refused to take over. Helianze scolded them for being fake nobles. He and Si
The two of them lit up the fireworks and had a great time...
Si Lan likes to look at this silver-white flashing light, holding one in one hand and waving it constantly, with a smile on his lips. His bright eyes look at Lan Sichen from time to time. When he sees that he is still looking at her, he continues to look at his hands.
fireworks...
Lan Sichen put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with tenderness. He hadn't seen her as happy as she was today for a long time. He felt happy and bitter at the same time. He even thought hypocritically that it would be great if time could be frozen at this moment forever.
The peripheral vision swept under the big tree not far away. The light was not good, and it seemed that a person's figure was vaguely visible.
There was an evil smile on the corner of the man's mouth, opening and closing, silently saying: Lan Sichen, you don't have time...
The hands in his pockets were clenched tightly, veins bulging, and he withdrew his eyes to look at Si Lan, feeling a little more melancholy and dignified.
After playing outside for two or three hours, Lan Sichen was worried that Silan's body couldn't bear it, so he forcibly took Silan upstairs.
Lan Yunsheng directly carried Helianze on his shoulders and took him away.
Because it was too late, snowflakes started to fall again, and several people were too drunk to drive, so they stayed here all night.
The sound of fireworks outside the house never stopped, and there was no way to fall asleep. Ji Fengwen, Lan Yunsheng, Lan Ruixiu, and Lan Sichen began to play mahjong. Helianze went to play with her, while Si Lan and Yun Suzi prepared the kitchen for them.
night snack……
"When do you and the Third Young Master plan to get married?"
Silan paused for a moment and replied calmly: "The year of the monkey is the year of the horse."
"Now we all have our own happiness, Mr. Lan..." Yun Su hesitated. This Mr. Lan was naturally referring to Lan Ruixiu.
Everyone knows that Lan Rui is cultivating Si Lan.
"As long as you and Feng Wen can be happy, you don't have to worry about our affairs! Lan Ruixiu will find his happiness, and Si Chen and I will also work hard... to be happy!"
When Si Lan mentioned the word "effort", his pronunciation was particularly strong.
Yun Su smiled and said nothing, I hope so.
When the New Year's bell rang, Si Lan lay on the window sill and looked at the falling snow outside. She didn't know when Lan Sichen stopped playing mahjong and hugged her from behind.
"Happy New Year, Ass."
"Happy New Year, Mr. Lan."
Lan Sichen kissed her earlobe and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you have any New Year's wishes?"
Si Lan looked at the dancing snowflakes outside, which looked like elves under the illumination of the street lights. He thought for a moment and said seriously: "I hope the universe will be peaceful and the world will be peaceful, and that children living in pain can have bread to eat."
.”
I hope that Asi and Mr. Lan will be safe and stay together forever.
Si Lan kept her last wish in her heart but didn't say it out loud.
Lan Sichen hugged her tighter, "What a great wish."
"You must be sneering at such a silly and innocent wish in your heart!" Si Lan turned around and poked the dimple at the corner of his mouth with his finger.
Lan Sichen's eyes were clear, his forehead was pressed against hers, and he naughty bit her lip, "Ass, don't see through me..."
"Are you afraid of being seen by me?" Slan asked in a joking tone.
Lan Sichen's eyes flashed with complexity. Although it was extremely fast, Silan caught it this time.
The two of them were silent, hugging each other in a very intimate gesture, but no one was willing to speak to break the cold and suffocating silence.
Silan didn't speak because she wanted to hear Lan Sichen say to herself...
Lan Sichen didn't speak because he couldn't speak to Si Lan...
The warmth and happiness before turned into bubbles in an instant and disappeared bit by bit.
Can't catch it, can't keep it.
After a long silence, Silan's originally expectant eyes were filled with disappointment, and he finally refused to tell himself.
Lan Sichen finally let go of his hand and said in a low, hoarse voice, pretending to be calm, "You're getting tired, rest first, I'll go out and chat with them for a while."
Si Lan nodded and said "hmm" in a low voice, as if nothing had happened; she watched his figure leave the room in the darkness, turned around and continued to lie on the window looking at the fluttering snowflakes, her eyes were inexplicably dry, and she wanted to cry...
Gu You smiled far away.
I hope that Asi and Mr. Lan will be safe and stay together forever.
But, can we really stay together?
***
"Ah!" Silan screamed in pain, stood up suddenly, and gasped for air. His pajamas were soaked with cold sweat, and his chest heaved up and down with his heavy breathing.
There was no trace of blood on his pale face, and his eyes were confused and couldn't find a focus point.
Lan Sichen was awakened by her, sat up, patted her back gently with his warm palms, calmed her nervousness, and repeated softly: "It's okay, Asi, it's okay..."
Si Lan turned his head to look at him, took a deep breath, and his panicked eyes that didn't know where to look finally found focus. Looking at him, the blankness in his mind finally recovered.
Lan Sichen's thick eyebrows were frowned tightly, his sharp and worried eyes were staring at her closely, and his thin lips were pursed in an emotionless arc.
After a long while, he said: "Did you dream about me digging out your heart again?"
"No!" Si Lan responded reflexively, which was a bit bigger than Lan Sichen's reaction.
Answering too quickly made Lan Sichen feel that she was lying to herself and covering up that her nightmare was related to her.
The deserted space is getting colder and the atmosphere is solemn. Since the silence on New Year's Eve, they often become inexplicably silent.
Stifling silence, damn silence.
Both of them knew in their hearts that something had quietly changed, and their attitudes toward each other became even more cautious, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Lan Sichen still doted on Si Lan to the extreme, but this doting was a little more scrupulous, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally step on the boundary that should not be stepped on.
Si Lan also knows that the current situation is not very good, it is like the emperor's new clothes, deceiving himself and others, and whitewashing the peace.
Even so, she didn't want to break the balance between them.
He is always looking forward to it in his heart, wait a little longer, wait a minute, he will always tell himself.
However, the longer they waited, the more and more silence became between the two of them.
"Asi, how long are you going to deceive yourself like this?" Lan Sichen's arm on her back hung slumped, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stood up, and wanted to leave the room.
"You don't believe me?" Silan said coldly, staring at his back.
