The broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala brought people who had eaten and drank enough to gather in front of the TV. The originally spacious living room became slightly crowded due to the increase in the number of people.
The sofa alone was full of people, and the younger ones just moved stools and sat aside.
Zhang Cuilan was also present. As Zhao Xuanying's grandmother, this year's Spring Festival was far more lively than in previous years.
Even if you just sit quietly and watch TV, it is much better than sitting together with your granddaughter in past years.
On the TV, the host was still reading the opening lines. Hao Yufen, who was temporarily the head of the family, had reconciled with her husband. After looking away from the TV, she looked at Zhang Cuilan sitting beside her.
I didn't see her during the day, so I was already curious, and I didn't have a chance to ask her at the dinner table not long ago.
Nowadays, a group of people are watching the TV, which gives her room to ask questions.
"Are you busy these days? I've always wanted to come and chat with you."
Perhaps she was used to the friendly atmosphere with her neighbors in her hometown, but when she suddenly came to the city, she couldn't find anyone to chat with. This situation made Hao Yufen feel very bored.
After thinking about them one by one, Zhang Cuilan, whom I had met a few times, was the only person I was familiar with.
Therefore, these days, Hao Yufen always wanted to chat with him.
"Yes, there are a lot of things going on these days. I met an acquaintance from my hometown. I haven't seen him for decades. He was only recently taken over by a child at home."
"There must be a lot of talk about relationships."
"Who says it's not the case? People like to reminisce about the past when they grow old. Besides, she is not familiar with the place here. She has no one else to talk to except me."
He smiled and replied, it is not that hard to find a topic among adults, not to mention they are all women.
There are so many places to chat. Family, children, and things you have done recently can all be topics of conversation.
Once the conversation started, there was no stopping it.
Li Shiyi, who was sitting not far away with Yunyun in her arms, also joined the conversation after listening for a while. Although she had a few arguments with Hao Yufen in the kitchen not long ago, it was not a big deal and she had forgotten all about it after the meal.
The back of the head.
The children were sitting on the stools, staring intently at the TV in front of them. From the look and feel of the new LCD TV, it was much better than the old TV.
The whole house was very lively.
Liu Weicheng did not take his seat.
I just stood at the door of the room, leaning against the door frame and looking at the TV screen.
In today's era when entertainment activities are relatively scarce, watching the Spring Festival Gala has become one of the indispensable activities. However, for Liu Weicheng, a well-informed person, the Spring Festival Gala has almost no attraction.
I just glanced at it for a few times, and after seeing a dance program playing on the TV, I felt bored and returned to the house.
In the busy living room, almost no one noticed the door closing.
Only Zhao Xuanying, who was closest, heard the sound and quietly looked back.
Staring at the door that had just closed.
"Yunyun wants to dance too!"
The child's voice on the side attracted her attention, and she turned away from the door and looked at Yunyun who came down from Li Shiyi's arms.
As if she wanted to perform in front of adults and imitate the routine she performed in kindergarten, Yunyun stood beside the TV.
This is how the atmosphere is mobilized.
When there are children who want to perform, the adults have no intention of stopping them. Before the skit comes, instead of watching the dance program on TV, it is more interesting for the children to perform.
The applause rang out, and the adults' encouragement made Yunyun's little face full of smiles.
Along with the dancing, she sang the children's songs she learned in kindergarten.
For a while, the living room was filled with laughter and laughter.
Applause, praise, children's singing.
The lively atmosphere makes the Spring Festival, which is already a family reunion, even more lively.
Liu Weicheng was lying on the bed inside the room.
His arms were folded behind his head, and while he was staring at the ceiling, the lively sounds outside the house could be heard in his ears.
Just when he wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, the sound of the door opening interrupted his thoughts.
He looked up at the door.
He looked at the figure who quietly entered the room and slowly closed the door.
Smiled.
"Why, are you going to be like me and not watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
"That's not true, the skit hasn't started yet."
In response, Zhao Xuanying walked towards the bed and looked down at Liu Weicheng lying there.
Eyes facing each other.
His expression became a little worried.
"You...really don't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Well, it's either singing or dancing, and the sketches are all in a style that I don't expect. It's better to lie in bed and rest for a while."
"Then everyone is outside, wouldn't it be boring for you to stay in the house alone?"
"Instead of looking at that, it's better to lie in bed and rest for a while."
"..."
Seeing Liu Weicheng say these words with a relaxed expression, Zhao Xuanying felt inexplicably uneasy.
Liu Weicheng is a type who rarely shows his emotions. Even if he occasionally shows an angry and shocked expression, it is just because he wants to tease others.
It seems that Zhao Xuanying has never seen him in a panic since she met him.
But... although he seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, a woman's sixth sense made Zhao Xuanying feel that he was not happy.
"What's wrong?"
After the silence, Zhao Xuanying asked this sentence with a little worry.
"You haven't been very happy these past few days. Although you didn't say it, I can tell."
"No, I'm quite happy."
"Liar..."
With a small coo, Zhao Xuanying turned around and sat on the side of the bed.
Look at the man's arms on the bed.
"Is it because of Teacher Lin? No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit strange. She who used to want to cling to you hasn't seen anyone for several days."
"no."
"We are the only two in the room now, why don't you just talk to me?"
After saying this anxiously, Zhao Xuanying felt that something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.
Nowadays, she and Liu Weicheng are not able to share secrets as unscrupulously as before, and she has made up her mind to quit this unrequited love.
She didn't need to ask anything, but when she saw the other person's depressed look, she couldn't help but feel worried.
He pursed his lips and changed his words.
"I can help you solve your problems. After all, I know Teacher Lin well. Maybe I can find the reason."
"..."
He remained silent without responding, and his gaze that was originally staring at the ceiling slowly moved to the girl beside him.
After Liu Weicheng stared at it for a while, he finally spoke.
"I'm just...a little scared."
"What?"
She originally thought it would be a quarrel between lovers, or some misunderstanding that had not been resolved. However, what Zhao Xuanying never expected was that Liu Weicheng would actually say that he was a little scared at this moment.
What is he afraid of? What is he afraid of?
She, who was already a bit slow except in studies, couldn't figure out what Liu Weicheng's words meant after thinking for a while.
After all... in Zhao Xuanying's opinion, Liu Weicheng couldn't be afraid of anything.
