No matter how guilty he felt, he couldn't suppress his irritation from being poked and poked by Xiao Jiuan. After Xiao Jiuan poked him seven times without stopping, Ji Yunkai finally couldn't help it and slapped Xiao Jiuan's rebellious hand away: "
Your Majesty, please be serious."
"Why am I not serious?" The back of his hand was red from being slapped, but when he saw Ji Yunkai's forehead being poked red, Xiao Jiu'an did not dare to say anything. He glanced at Ji Yunkai guiltily, and Xiao Jiu'an quietly put his hand behind his back.
Seeing that Ji Yunkai had no intention of getting angry, Xiao Jiuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, his Yun Kai is not a stingy woman.
"You are not serious at all." Ji Yunkai rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiu'an angrily. He was too lazy to have such a meaningless conversation with him and went straight to the topic: "What day is today?"
She couldn't think of it even after racking her brain.
This time it was Xiao Jiu'an's turn to lose his temper and glared at Ji Yunkai. Xiao Jiu'an said with a cold face: "New Year! On the first day of the New Year, you actually forgot?"
This was the first New Year that he and Ji Yunkai had spent together. He had to run day and night and killed several horses before he rushed to the capital before New Year's Eve. He wanted to spend the New Year with Ji Yunkai, but this woman
He actually forgot all about it, he really is...
Don't know what to say.
"New Year?" Ji Yunkai was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Does the New Year have any special meaning?"
Isn’t that how the New Year is celebrated? Is there anything in particular that we need to pay attention to?
"By the way, are we going to give New Year greetings to others? Who are we going to pay New Year's greetings to?" It seems that she has not prepared New Year's gifts, nor has she given New Year's gifts to anyone.
This... I really can't blame her, she doesn't understand the customs of the New Year at all, her New Year...
Before she reached adulthood, except for the year when she was taken away by her adoptive parents and she went out to celebrate the New Year, she spent every year alone in her study.
It's not that her adoptive parents didn't take her, but that she felt out of place and didn't want to cause embarrassment and make people uncomfortable.
As an adult, she has lived alone. Apart from sending blessing messages to people she knows in the morning, she has no other activities.
For her, the New Year was no different from usual times. At most, the bustle outside made her feel even more lonely.
Speaking of the New Year, Ji Yunkai couldn't help but think about the chief who was far away in another world. He wondered if he would be unhappy if he didn't receive her New Year message this year.
Ji Yunkai frowned inaudibly, and soon returned to normal, but Xiao Jiuan, who was lying in front of her, did not miss the flash of loneliness and loneliness in her eyes.
Feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart, Xiao Jiu'an put away the cold look on his face and put his arms around Ji Yunkai. This time Ji Yunkai did not stiffen or refuse. She relaxed her body in a rare cooperation and snuggled into Xiao Jiu'an's arms.
Normally I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being alone, but whenever I get together on festivals and see people around me in pairs, and I’m the only one, the feeling is really not that ordinary and desolate.
Xiao Jiuan did not ask Ji Yunkai how he spent his New Year before, but talked about how he spent his own New Year in detail.
"When I was very young, I spent the New Year with many people. None of those people had good intentions. Everyone was tit for tat. Opening your mouth is a trap. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of others. The more the New Year is,
In such an occasion, you have to be more careful and not make any mistakes."
"What impressed me most was that one year, on New Year's Eve, my brother who was ranked above me was praised by the man who called him father. Early the next morning, my brother died in the house, saying that he had used too much charcoal.
, died of poisoning and suffocation, and finally a group of people who served him died."
Speaking of this, Xiao Jiuan showed a hint of sarcasm.
"After we left there, it was just me, my mother, and Mo Qixi who depended on each other. At that time, it was good if we could survive, and we were happy if we had enough to eat. Whether we celebrated the New Year or not had nothing to do with us.
"
"Later, my mother died, and it was just me and Mo Qixi. The two of us didn't even think about celebrating the New Year. We spent all our energy thinking about how to survive every day."
"I started to remember the New Year and celebrate the New Year because I was adopted by King Yanbei. I don't seem to have told you that I am not King Yanbei's son, I am his adopted son."
Xiao Jiuan broke the news in an understatement, as if he had no idea what kind of shock this consumption would bring after being exposed.
Ji Yunkai also listened calmly, as if she had known it for a long time. God knows, she had no idea whether it was good or not...
"My adoptive father is a very family-oriented man. He loves his wife and daughter. Every New Year, no matter how busy he is, he will be free to spend time with his wife and daughter. I did not return to Yanbei Palace at that time. I have been living alone and accepting the work alone.
Training, but every year my adoptive father would prepare New Year’s gifts for me, and would also have a meal with me on New Year’s Day. Naturally, it was not a normal time, but he would come over to see me at night, and then go back. After all, his wife and daughter
They are his relatives."
"After my adoptive father died, I followed his approach. No matter how busy I was, I would have dinner with Shiqing every New Year. I would also stay at the palace during the New Year days so that Shiqing could find me as soon as possible and let Shiqing know about her.
He has relatives, even if his adoptive father is not here."
Xiao Jiuan is by no means a good storyteller. It is obviously a lonely and fascinating story, but when told from Xiao Jiuan's mouth, it is unremarkable.
But surprisingly, after hearing Xiao Jiuan recount his New Year experiences, Ji Yunkai calmed down inexplicably, and the gloom in his heart also dissipated.
Sure enough, happiness has to be compared. Although she spends the New Year alone every year, compared with Xiao Jiu'an, she seems to be much happier than Xiao Jiu'an.
At least, she has not experienced so many life and death, nor has she experienced days when she had not enough to eat or clothes to wear.
Compared with Xiao Jiuan, she is happy.
Involuntarily, Ji Yunkai got closer to Xiao Jiuan...
Xiao Jiuan would not refuse. He hugged Ji Yunkai tightly and patted Ji Yunkai's back. He said, "Every New Year, there are people around me, but for me, New Year is no different from ordinary days.
.But this year is different. This year we will celebrate the New Year together, inexplicably...I am looking forward to it."
Because of the expectation, I rushed to the capital regardless of it. Because of the expectation, I solemnly mentioned this matter when I woke up.
Because of the anticipation, I want to spend the first New Year alone with Ji Yunkai alone.
On the first day of the new year, he just wanted to spend it with Ji Yunkai, without any unnecessary people, just the two of them... (To be continued)
