That day outside, Zhan Yiyang ate elegantly while chatting with Ji Fanyi. After a meal, the two reconciled as before, and their relationship seemed to be even better than before.
Just when the two people were shaking hands and making peace, Xu Rongrong's scream came from inside the house. Because the door was very soundproof, it was only faintly heard. However, Zhan Yiyang was too sensitive to everything about Xu Rongrong, so he judged this very quickly.
It was Xu Rongrong's voice, and he hurriedly returned to the room carrying the thermos box.
As a result, I saw the scene of Bai Sheng slowly opening his eyes, and then the whole ward was in chaos. It was not until the attending doctor came to take Bai Sheng away that everyone was completely shocked and cheered at the same time.
Bai Sheng woke up, finally woke up.
Xu Rongrong cried and laughed and hugged Bai Yi tightly. Bai Yi also hugged his mother with his backhand, and both of them had wet eyes at the same time.
It’s great that Bai Sheng is still alive.
After three to five days of cultivation, Bai Sheng's health gradually improved, and the Lantern Festival finally arrived.
Since he only had a weak body to recuperate, there was no need to stay in the hospital. After seeking Bai Sheng's consent, Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong took Bai Sheng to the Zhan family villa and still stayed in his own exclusive guest room.
Then everyone took care of him together and celebrated the Lantern Festival.
On the evening of the 15th, Xu Rongrong cooked a large table of dishes, one for Bai Sheng and the other for Ye Zi'an. They were going back to the United States again. Tianning and Bai Yi also wanted to continue their studies and were going to the United States as well.
Zhan Yilin and Chen Haoran are also going back to take up their posts, and everyone is going back to the time when they were far apart from each other.
Perhaps it was a sad farewell, or perhaps it was to practice for them. Except for the children and Bai Sheng, everyone else had a wine glass in front of them, with red wine poured into it.
Xu Rongrong was the first to raise her wine glass, her eyes turned from indifferent to reddish. She was the first to look at Ye Zi'an, "Yi Zi, when will you come back from the United States? I'm really sad that I can't go shopping with you every day."
Ye Zi'an, a strong woman, also had tears in her eyes. If it wasn't for business development there, how could she be willing to leave Xu Rongrong's side? But her lover and children were there, so she had to go, so she could only raise her head
He drank the wine glass, then counted the time and told Xu Rongrong, "Rongrong, when Bai Yi and the others graduate and the industry in the United States is stabilized, our family will come back, and then we will sit with our neighbors not far away and go shopping together every day, just like
When we went to school together."
After saying that, she raised her head and downed the red wine. Xu Rongrong's eyes turned red, remembering the intimate days when she was in school. Then she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
The conversation between the two women triggered the beginning. Everyone toasted and expressed their sad farewells.
Zhan Yilin said that she would apply to be transferred back this year, and Min Shiyan said that he would return home and retire in a few years.
Everyone said that they must be together in the future. When they get older and watch the children get married, they will let the children accept the burden, and then go sightseeing together.
I laughed as I talked, cried as I laughed,
Xu Rongrong has experienced so many ups and downs and sorrows, but in fact, it has not been smooth sailing for others. It's just that everyone doesn't want to tell everyone about the thrilling experience before when they are safe, so why bother worrying about one more person.
Everyone understood this idea and knew what the other person was thinking, but they didn’t know how to express it. In the end, they could only drink the glass of wine in their hands.
Drink after glass, the men were okay. One was a heavy drinker and the other was not as preoccupied as the women, so no one drank too much.
Men's friendship lies in loyalty. No matter where they are, they will help you if you have a problem just by calling. Women are more pretentious. They like to cuddle up together every day, go shopping together, and discuss things together.
Men and women have two different ways of friendship, but the friendship they establish is exactly the same and strong.
Among the pair of tipsy people, Xu Rongrong and Ye Zi'an drank the most, while Zhan Yilin and Gu Yixuan drank less. However, they both had husbands and had someone to accompany them when they were drunk. But the other single woman drank a lot.
He drank one glass after another without stopping, and in the end he was even drunker than Xu Rongrong.
There was no way, every man was supporting a woman, and in the end, only Bai Sheng struggled to support Wen Shanshan and sent her to the room.
Fortunately, he was just a little weak, and he had made up a lot in the past few days, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to touch Wen Shanshan.
Bai Sheng and Bai Yi carried Wen Shanshan to her room all the way, wiped her face and gave her some water, and then Bai Sheng and Bai Yi walked out of her room.
At this time, the entire restaurant was quiet, and the children had followed their father home to serve their mothers. Bai Yi was ordered by Zhan Yiyang to accompany Bai Sheng, because he knew that Bai Sheng would definitely send Wen Shanshan back to her room, but he
Now that I am relatively weak, it is better to have someone to accompany me.
It just so happened that Bai Yi was his biological brother, and he was still about to reach adulthood and already had a certain height and physique, so it would be no problem for him and Bai Sheng to support Wen Shanshan together.
At this time, the whole living room was filled with the smell of wine, Ming's wife was silently clearing the dishes, Bai Sheng and Bai Yi did not go to the restaurant, but sat in the living room.
Thanks to the good sound insulation of the villa, everyone's movements were hidden in the room. Therefore, in the ears of Bai Sheng and Bai Yi, except for the sound of Sister Ming cleaning up the dishes, there was no other sound in the world.
Bai Yi glanced at Bai Sheng awkwardly, but found that he was focused on looking at the restaurant through the hollow wood carvings.
He was about to open his mouth to ask Bai Sheng what he was looking at, but he saw Bai Sheng quickly stood up and went to the restaurant, then took something and came back.
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at the wine box, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing." Bai Sheng smiled faintly, with a rather mysterious feeling, "Go and get me some scissors and a candle."
Although Bai Yi didn't understand what Bai Sheng was going to do, he still nodded obediently, stood up and brought something over.
Bai Sheng took the scissors and started to cut something on the cardboard box with his head lowered. Bai Yi opened his eyes wide and didn't know why, but he enjoyed this rare quiet time for brothers to spend time together, so he didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
So he witnessed Bai Sheng using his dexterous hands to cut an ugly paper box into a hollow one. Then Bai Sheng lit the candle and put it into the paper box, using wax oil on it.
After fixing it, I asked Mrs. Ming for a very long chopstick for fishing and a beautiful ribbon.
Tie the chopsticks and the wine box at both ends of the ribbon, then gently hold the chopsticks that serve as small sticks and lift the wine box.
Not far away, Mrs. Ming cleverly turned off the lights in the living room, and the whole villa became dark. There was only a weak flame lamp, which flickered slightly in the dark night and reflected the flowers on the wine box.
On the wall not far away.
To the east of the lantern volcano, the flowers dance with it, like a dance of lights, simplicity hidden in beauty.
Bai Yi looked at the small flame in surprise and couldn't believe that it was his brother who made it.
"Brother, is this a lantern?" Although it was different from the beautiful and bright lantern that he knew, Bai Yilian couldn't even guess what day it was today and the light it was emitting at the moment.
Know the answer.
Bai Sheng nodded with a smile, put the chopsticks into Bai Yi's hand, and then looked at him, "A lantern for you."
Bai Yi pursed his lips and smiled, seemingly immersed in the excitement of getting a novel toy, and did not see the vague moisture in Bai Sheng's eyes.
He felt ashamed of his younger brother. If it weren't for his younger brother and Ye Zi'an's scolding, maybe he really wouldn't want to wake up.
He always wanted to die with Zhong Qiqi. He owed Zhong Qiqi a life and wanted to repay him. But his brother couldn't bear to let him go, so he woke up.
The complexity and sadness hidden in this obviously cannot be explained clearly in a few words, but Bai Sheng knows that nothing will happen to him again. He wants to guard his brother and see him marry a wife and have children, and then be happy.
Looking at the young man observing the lantern in a novel way, Bai Sheng raised his lips and smiled, which was a happy arc.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door being opened. When Bai Sheng looked up, he saw Xu Rongrong leaning on the railing on the second floor with his arms folded, looking here. Although the light was dim and the view was not clear, Bai Sheng still felt it.
The smile on her lips.
Suddenly, the door rang again, and this time it was Zhan Yiyang who came out. He put clothes on Xu Rongrong, and then hugged her gently. The two of them just lay on the railing, looking at the living room quietly.
There were a few more sounds of the door opening, and all the drunk people walked out of the room.
Min Shiyan, Gu Yixuan, Zhan Yilin, Chen Haoran, Ye Zi'an, Ji Fanyi, and Wen Shanshan.
Everyone is lying on the railing or leaning against the wall, looking lazily at this place, but with a uniform smile on their lips.
In the dim light, everyone's eyes had a touch of moisture, but it had nothing to do with sorrow, it was tears of happiness.
The adults stood at the door of the room and watched quietly, but the children were not so quiet. They swarmed around Bai Yi and studied the strange lantern.
Seeing all the children looking at him longingly, Bai Sheng smiled helplessly and turned to look at Xu Rongrong and others, "If you don't come down and help make lanterns together, I can't make lanterns for so many children by myself."
"Now you know how to call us. Just now, I was impartial and only gave it to Bai Yi." Zhan Yilin was the first to say something to Bai Sheng, but it was she who took the lead and walked over.
Sister-in-law Ming turned on the light, and the living room instantly became bright again.
Xu Rongrong brought a dozen candles, and Zhan Yiyang started to unpack the wine received during the New Year, put the wine bottles away, and only needed the wine boxes. In a short time, they had more than a dozen wine boxes.
Sister-in-law Ming handed over several pairs of scissors, and each of the fastest ones took one, and then began to cut the wine box in a decent manner.
Because everyone has different aesthetic tastes, the patterns on the wine boxes they make are also completely different. For example, Xu Rongrong directly dug out a star, which is more beautiful than a circle and not too difficult, while Chen Haoran carefully carved a hollow lotus.
The pattern was more beautiful than Bai Sheng's, but Zhan Yiyang didn't do anything. He was only responsible for lighting the candles and passing them to others.
It is said that there is strength in numbers. A group of people were busy and finally made a dozen lanterns. Mrs. Ming took out a dozen chopsticks from the deepest drawer. She handed them to Xu Rongrong with a smile and said:
If I didn't want to make croquettes for everyone on a whim, I wouldn't have bought so many chopsticks. If I hadn't bought so many chopsticks, everyone wouldn't have chopsticks to make lanterns. A lantern with a ribbon just doesn't look good.
In this way, after half an hour of busy work, more than a dozen lanterns were freshly baked. Everyone, both adults and children, had a lantern, and even uncle Ming and sister-in-law were not left behind.
Zhan Yiyang was very patient and slowly lit all the lanterns. Mrs. Ming turned off the lights in the living room, but it seemed as if the lights in the living room were not turned off.
After all, the place illuminated by one lamp is different from the place illuminated by a large group of lights. With this thought in mind, a group of adults and children gathered around and slowly walked into the yard.
Although the night air was cold, everyone felt warm and happy in their hearts. The candlelight in their hands seemed to be dancing, and various shapes of lights were imprinted on the ground.
The sound of firecrackers came from the distance. Just after the firecrackers stopped, fireworks and cannonballs were in the air, and then the most gorgeous flowers bloomed overhead.
The children clapped happily, then joined hands in singing and watching the fireworks. The adults, on the other hand, took advantage of the night to look at their most beloved connections.
The lanterns and candles in their palms are still dancing, but they will never be extinguished, just like their feelings are always strong, as hard as rock and as tough as cattails.
Never leave, never abandon, depend on each other for life and death.
