Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 19:

Considering that the elderly are getting older and children need to go to bed earlier, they eat dumplings before midnight. At ten o’clock, after everyone finished eating the dumplings, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan went back to the room to rest first. Mr. Yan and his wife returned with the twins, and Yan Yixi went back to the room silently. Yan Yinan stuffed a few dumplings and went out to meet friends. For him, the night had just begun, and the city was the lively place.

Yan Xi opened her phone and received many greeting text messages from colleagues and friends. She picked some back.

Suddenly, a familiar name leaps into view.

“Happy New Year and best wishes. Miss you.”

Gao Jiming.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen her reply for a while, so I called over there.

Yan Xi looked at the name on the screen, but in the end he didn’t pick it up. Seeing Aunt Youxin accompanying An Zhi, she set off and walked downstairs.

The cold air outside suddenly entered his nose and mouth, and Yan Xi let out a hot breath. Beicheng banned the emission of firecrackers and fireworks more than ten years ago, but it is still allowed in non-urban areas during the Spring Festival.

After 10 o’clock, beautiful and splendid fireworks bloomed above her head, Yan Xi didn’t care, she just wanted to go out for a walk.

Gao Jiming did not give up contact with her during the time he went abroad, he even found every way to contact her.

He said, “Why can’t you give us another chance? Why are you so cruel, why you don’t trust me so much, how do you know we can’t be in another place?”

Maybe she’s being too harsh? Maybe she didn’t love him as much as she thought.

Yan Xi’s chest rose slightly, and she suddenly had the urge to smoke. She pursed her lips and paced around the yard, hugging her shoulders and frowning.

She couldn’t let go of everything and go abroad with him. But even if a decision is made, there will still be hesitation and hesitation.

After cutting off the follow-up, it is impossible to deny the past.

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment alone, the cool wind blew his face, the night was gorgeous in the fireworks, and his mood was depressed.

She hugged her shoulders and shrank. Turning around, he found An Zhi’s little figure clinging to the door, watching her quietly.

She was wearing a new pink down jacket bought for her, with a pouty apple face, staring at her with innocent and unworldly eyes. I don’t know how long she has been standing behind her back.

Yan Xi suddenly understood why some people think that children are very healing creatures.

“Why don’t you wear a coat?”

An Zhi was hugged by Yan Xi and sat at the door.

An Zhi was hugged tightly by her and sat on her lap, as if she was using it as a heating tool. And she felt sensitively that Yan Xi seemed a little unhappy, why was she unhappy? Don’t you want to be happy for the new year?

“Hmm…” Yan Xi buried her head behind An Zhi’s hat and made a nasal sound. did not answer her question.

An Zhi couldn’t turn around, and even felt a little breathless. It took a few seconds for Yan Xi to let go of her, and she said lazily, “Tao Tao, sing a song for my aunt.”

An Zhi’s face stiffened.

“Don’t…” she whispered.

Yan Xi teased her: “There is no one else, just my aunt.”

An Zhi pouted, didn’t she say don’t call her auntie! Now say you are.

“Come on, darling, sing one…” Yan Xi reached into her hat and scratched her ears.

Her hands are icy.

An Zhi resisted and did not avoid her touch. She twisted and said, “Then you are not allowed to laugh at me…”

Yan Xi smiled and said, “Okay, no laughing.”

After a while, An Zhi raised his courage and began to sing: “Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish everyone a Happy New Year…”

Her voice was soft and soft, and she sang it again and again into English: “wearesinging, wearedancing, HappyNewYeartoyouall.”

This is a simple children’s song. An Zhi’s voice is tender and healing. After singing, the small dimple on her right cheek moved shyly.

Yan Xi smiled and listened to her singing, and patted her head approvingly. Then he said, “I heard that kindergartens also teach dance…”

An Zhi’s head shook like a rattle: “No jumping, no jumping…”

Yan Xi laughed out loud.

“Do you have any New Year’s resolutions, Tao Tao?”

“Yes,” Xiao Anzhi only thought about one thing: “To grow taller! To grow tall and tall…”

“Okay,” Yan Xi suddenly remembered something and said to her, “By the way, I have completed all the formalities. The primary school in the house over there is the primary school attached to Normal University. The school is good. You can go directly to the first grade.”

“However, Anzhi, I have something to discuss with you. I’m busy with work, and I may not be able to pick you up from school every day. I’m not worried about letting you go home alone, so I’ll ask an aunt to pick you up from school and do other things. Meal. I will be busy after get off work at night, and my aunt will accompany you.”

Yan Xi paused, “Or I asked my aunt to take you here, and I’ll come pick you up after get off work? Huh? What do you think?” She shook her head.

Her eldest brother and third brother both asked about her arrangement, and Yan Xi said he wanted to ask An Zhi’s opinion. They laughed and asked the child what to do, how does she understand, you can just make up your mind.

But Yan Xi felt that she had to know what An Zhi was thinking, maybe she didn’t quite understand it, but she at least asked, she wanted An Zhi to feel involved.

An Zhi really thought about it for a while, turned her head and said to her, “You don’t have to go back here, I can be at home alone.”

Yan Xi insisted: “That won’t work, there must be an aunt watching you, you can’t be at home alone.”

An Zhi pouted slightly, “I will be good.”

Yan Xi smiled: “I know.”

In the distance, fireworks continued one after another, alternating between splendor and silence.

Yan Xi’s eyes were soft: “I know Tao Tao will be good, but I will feel more at ease when someone is at home with you.” “And…” She looked a little embarrassed and looked a little childish: “I can’t cook. …you can’t always get takeout.”

An Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding.

Yan Qi scratched her face and continued, “I may work overtime sometimes, and I want you to be at home alone, hey…”

She lowered her voice slightly: “I don’t know if this is good… If you don’t like it, we can move back at any time, eh? Is this good?”

An Zhi’s little head seemed to be stuck for a while, and it was spinning rapidly again.

She realized that Yan Xi was talking to her, not commanding, but asking her opinion.

She really cares about herself.

why?

Why are you being so nice to yourself?

An Zhi stared at her blankly, not knowing why she suddenly wanted to cry.

“What’s wrong? Huh?” Yan Xi saw that her expression was a little wrong.

Anzhi lowered his head.

“Don’t like moving out? Or what? Tao Tao?” Yan Xi touched her face.

An Zhi suddenly turned around and wrapped her arms around her neck, burying her face in the crevice of her neck. Yan Xi was stunned. This child is thin-skinned, and sometimes she wants to act coquettishly and just grabs her clothes, or buries her blushing in her arms when she hugs her. Almost dare not take the initiative to hug her.

Yan Xi’s heart is soft.

“What’s wrong?”

“I listen to you.” An Zhi said softly.

Yan Xi smiled: “Okay.”

“If you don’t like it then, just tell me, you know?” Yan Xi said softly.

“Yeah.” The little head buried in the crevice of her neck moved.

Yan Xi felt a little more relaxed, and finally settled down.

Two loud bangs came from the sky, attracting the attention of the two of them. Looking up, a dazzling flower blooms in the air, which is amazing.

Yan Xi retracted her gaze and saw An Zhi’s focused and happy eyes, she smiled: “Do you want to set off fireworks?”

An Zhi’s eyes lit up, “Is it okay?”

Yan Xi said, “Grandpa didn’t let us set off fireworks in recent years, because grandma didn’t sleep well at night, but…” Yan Xi approached her and whispered, “There are still a few fireworks in the garage, let’s go farther. go let it go.”

Yan Xi went back to the house, put on a thick coat, and dragged An Zhi to the outside of the yard.

Yan Xi asked An Zhi to go, but An Zhi did not dare. Yan Xi encouraged her, and quickly pulled her away for several meters after clicking, An Zhi giggled.

After the fuze was burned out, with two bangs, An Zhi looked up and saw two bright stars rising rapidly into the air. Her ears were covered with soft palms. Under the dark night, the fireworks were so large and bright that the two of them seemed to be enveloped. An Zhi made a “Wow” sound, dazzled. She raised her head in Yan Xi’s arms and looked at her:

“What’s your New Year’s resolution?”

Yan Xi looked dazed, then smiled: “Well… I hope Tao Tao grows taller? Does that count?”

An Zhi pursed her lips embarrassedly and smiled.

Yan Xi lowered her head to scratch her face, and suddenly said, “Tao Tao, in the future… we will spend many, many years together.”

Many years later, An Zhi, who finally grew to the height of Yan Xi’s ears, always remembered Yan Xi’s words, remembered that when she was six years old, Yan Xi promised her that he would live with her, and she gave her gave her a home.
