Chapter 23 Happy New Year
When Gu Shaochen returned home, he had actually drunk a lot, but the first thing he did when he got home was to send a message to An Zining. He had been worried that he would forget it if he drank too much. It seemed that his memory was OK. An Zining did not reply to the message, so he should have fallen asleep. Gu Shaochen took a shower and went to bed by himself. Because he remembered sending a message to An Zining, he felt quite proud. Perhaps it was because he drank alcohol and he slept with great comfort.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is approaching the end of the year. Gu Shaochen is so busy that An Zining understands that at the end of the year, there are very few meetings, and most of the time they are contacted by mobile phones. Even, many times, An Zining receives Gu Shaochen’s “good night” message in the middle of the night.
During the Spring Festival, Gu Shaochen returned to the United States for a meeting, and then stayed in the United States to accompany Grandpa Gu to celebrate the Spring Festival in the United States. Before leaving, Gu Shaochen took time to have a meal with An Zining and told her that she needed to go back to the United States for a while. An Zining felt a little disappointed, but it was difficult to show it. She was not happy at all. Gu Shaochen still sent An Zining back. When he arrived downstairs, An Zining felt that his nose suddenly felt a little sour. Unexpectedly, Gu Shaochen saw it, so he hurriedly ran upstairs, hid behind the curtains and watched Gu Shaochen leave, his nose became even more sour...
"Be careful!" An Zining sent a message to Gu Shaochen.
...
After Gu Shaochen left, An Zining's life was still the same as before. Gu Shaochen would send her messages from time to time. Although there was a time difference, every time she saw Gu Shaochen's message, An Zining would always be a little happy.
After finally ending until the Spring Festival, An Zining and her parents returned to the old house. Grandpa also knew about Gu Shaochen's return to the United States. He asked a few questions casually, but he didn't mention the kids.
On New Year's Eve, I ate the New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala with my family. The warmth of my family made An Zining feel at ease and happy, and I didn't have much time to think about anything else. It was almost twelve o'clock, and my cousin and brother were busy moving all the previous fireworks to the yard. An Zining followed them to the yard, waiting for the most beautiful fireworks of the year. It used to be like this every year...
In the past, every New Year's Eve, Fu Yiyang would call An Zining on time at twelve o'clock. During this period, because of the sound of firecrackers and fireworks around, they could hardly hear each other's words, but the two of them held the phone. Although there were noisy sounds in their ears, they could almost hear each other's breathing in their hearts. Fu Yiyang said that this would make him feel that the first time of the New Year, listening to each other's world, just like two people were by their side.
This year, the fireworks should still be so brilliant, but there is no one who calls. An Zining thought of this,...
Suddenly, the cell phone vibrated, and An Zining took it out in confusion, - Gu Shaochen! How could he be, how could he call at this time? An Zining answered the phone, and his brother had already lit the first firework. With a "swoosh", a big light quickly rose into the air, blooming and colorful light blooming. Then one after another, in an instant, the whole sky was lit, and various colors rose in the air, blooming, staying, falling, the sound of fireworks, people's cheering and applauding, An Zining could not hear the sound in the phone at all. He took the phone and checked it, confirming that the phone was still in the call, An Zining put the phone in his ear again, and did not say anything...
After a long time, An Zining saw that the call had been thirty minutes, and her hands began to numb again. The sound next to her gradually became smaller. An Zining did not enter the house immediately, "Happy New Year!" Gu Shaochen's low voice came from his ears.
"Happy New Year!" This year's Spring Festival is relatively late, and it is already the beginning of spring. The air at night is no longer full of coldness. An Zining seems to have smelled a sweet smell of spring.
After a long time, the two of them didn't say anything. "What are you doing now?" An Zining broke the silence.
"At home, one day later than China, we are preparing the New Year's Eve dinner!" Gu Shaochen said softly. He thought that a phone call would make him no longer miss An Zining so much, but when he heard her voice, his longing for her was like a tide, and suddenly came to him.
"Oh" An Zining responded to Gu Shaochen.
"Sister, who called you?" An Zinan appeared behind An Zining like a ghost.
"Ah? It's nothing!" An Zining hurriedly covered the phone. "Well, let's chat on WeChat!" This was said to the phone, and after that, she hung up the phone.
"Brother Shaochen!" An Zinan's acumen is quite strong.
"No!" An Zining ignored her younger brother and turned into the house. She greeted her family and said she was sleepy, so she ran back to the room.
"Brother Shaochen!" An Zinan frowned and reported to his family sitting in the living room.
The Spring Festival is nothing more than eating and drinking, visiting relatives. On the third day of the Chinese New Year, An Zining asked Su Lili to go shopping together. As soon as An Zining saw Su Lili, tsk! She could only describe this little woman who was obviously immersed in happiness as a radiant look. Chu Xiao sent Su Lili over and said Happy New Year to An Zining. Su Lili drove him away. The two best friends started the process of shopping and eating again.
Walking around, the two of them walked to the door of a restaurant without knowing it. The decoration was elegant and unique. An Zining took a step back and realized that she had walked to the door of the private dish that Gu Shaochen brought him before. During the Spring Festival, the door was actually open here. Su Lili saw a restaurant with open doors, so she pulled An Zining directly and walked in. There were not many guests inside. "Ms. An!" The waiter recognized An Zining.
Su Lili stopped and looked at An Zining with confusion, "I have been here a few times before, and I have been here a few times!" An Zining hurriedly explained to Su Lili. But who is Su Lili? "The waiter has known you several times?" Su Lili looked at An Zining's eyes.
"Well, that, this one is a bit special. Let's find a seat first!" An Zining hurriedly pulled Su Lili down. He took Gu Shaochen directly into the same room before. This time, An Zining sat directly in the hall. Although it was the hall, there were actually not many tables.
The two of them just sat down, "Miss An, long time no see!" A gentle voice sounded above their heads. Yi Han stood in front of them in a simple casual outfit. His skin was still very white, and the smile in his eyes almost melted his eyes.
"Hello, hello!" An Zining quickly stood up. "Well, happy new year! This is my friend Lily, let's come here for dinner!" An Zining didn't expect Yi Han to be here at all. He heard Gu Shaochen's meaning before, Yi Han was rarely in China. Why did he stay here for the New Year?
"Oh, hello!" Yi Han said hello like Lily, and Su Lily also stood up and said Happy New Year!
"What do you want to eat?" Yi Han asked the two girls.
"Well, all is OK, just the ones I ate last time!" An Zining just wanted to end the conversation with Yi Han as soon as possible, and Yi Han always made her a little uncomfortable.
"Last time I met you like eating winter bamboo shoots?" Yi Han asked.
"Well, that, I'm not picky about food!" An Zining felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't eat too much spicy food. Girls are not good for their skin. We have desserts today. I'll give you a try later!" Yi Han saw that An Zining's face began to turn red, and wanted to tease her even more. "Why haven't you been here for so long?"
"Ah?" An Zining had already started to regret entering this restaurant. "Maybe because she was too busy!"
Yi Han wanted to say something, but suddenly the call came to mind, "Sorry, I'll answer the call, you guys wait for me!" After that, he blinked at An Zining's right eye. An Zining immediately leaned back reflexively, stop answering this charming look.
"What does this person have to do with you? He wants to chase you?" As soon as Yi Han left, Su Lili began to interrogate.
"I don't know who he is, he is Gu Shaochen's friend!" An Zining looked distressed.
"Gu Shaochen? Do you know his friends?" Now, Su Lili grabbed the point.
"That, we just came over to have a meal and then met by chance!" An Zining said simply.
"You two? Come here for dinner? Date?" Su Lili's words were bloody!
"We're here to have a meal, what kind of date!" An Zining looked at Su Lili. This best friend had a lot of imagination.
"Niu'er, tell me the truth, how do you feel about your Mr. Gu?" Based on Su Lili's understanding of An Zining for more than 20 years, this Gu Shaochen is not as simple as the grandson of his boss and grandfather's friend!
"Me? What do you feel? Nothing!" An Zining dodged Su Lili's eyes. Gu Shaochen didn't send her a message for a day, and I don't know what he is doing now!
"Tsk, just hold it in! But to be honest, your Mr. Gu is much better than the peach blossom eyes just now!" Su Lili came to the conclusion.
Ah? Su Lili’s brains are really not a little bit big. How can Yi Han compare with Gu Shaochen?
Su Lili didn't ask any more questions. In An Zining's situation, she was obviously still worried. Let's wait until she got the answer.
The food was as delicious as ever. What's even more gratifying was that Yi Han answered the phone and never came to disturb them for dinner. However, after the meal, someone still gave them delicious desserts, and the two girls were very happy...
Of course, when An Zining was about to pay the bill, the waiter told her that she didn't need it...
