Ye Chien shook his head and smiled. "No, the road is a little dangerous. It's better to carry the child."
The child was only three or four years old, and it was late at night. It would be safer to carry him.
Perhaps Ye Chien's trustworthy instincts reminded the young mother, but she was stunned for a moment and immediately carried the child in her arms. She said "thank you" to Ye Chien uneasily and let another young mother carry her child. The group of seven suddenly quickened their pace and left.
Xia Jinyuan's calm and reassuring voice came through the earpiece again. "This child is honest and has a bright future."
She had just finished thinking about his childish nature, and it came right away.
Ye Chien exhaled a white breath, put his hands back into his coat pockets, and continued to walk forward. The shops on both sides of the street began to put down their shutters one by one, and the sound of the shutters was particularly loud in the quiet night. The owners of the neighboring shops greeted each other, rolled up their shutters, turned off their lights, and went home to wash up and sleep. It was getting late, and the night was getting quieter. Even the sound of footsteps could be heard.
It was unknown where the fireworks had been set off, but they exploded in the sky with a bang. Following that, countless Soaring Cannons shot up into the sky with a whoosh, leaving behind a trail of sparks. In the blink of an eye, they were annihilated, leaving behind only the smell of smoke.
Ye Chien looked up slightly. The dazzling fireworks decorated the snowy night. It was the beginning of a new year, and after tonight, she would also welcome a new beginning for herself.
Ye Chien did not walk straight. Instead, he swayed as if he was drunk. Occasionally, he would walk under the shade of a tree. Sun Ying, who was following behind him on tiptoe, saw this and sneered.
To get to the small hotel where they were resting, they had to pass through the entire farmer's market, take a shortcut, and go around a vegetable market with a cement platform. Then, they had to walk to the hotel on the other side of the road.
At the end of the market, all the shopping malls were closed, and only the street lights were dimly lit. The feather-like snow covered the debris that fell during the day, and the firecrackers that exploded into little red flowers were quickly covered. Ye Chien stepped on a pile of firecrackers, and his footprints landed. The snow and firecrackers completely merged into one, like a remnant of red falling to the ground, adding a bit of coldness.
It was very quiet, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard. Ye Chien, who was hiding in the dark, heard the soft footsteps suddenly become more urgent. His slender fingers pressed on the earpiece, and he smiled and said to Xia Jinyuan, who was hiding in the dark, "Auntie suddenly disappeared, and some people are starting to get anxious."
Soon, he received a reply. "Some people felt that tonight wasn't lively enough, so they couldn't help but come out to join in the fun. Bai He and the others are also nearby. Since you've succeeded, they're pulling in the net. After tonight, we can probably go out for a drink together.
"Really? In that case, I was looking forward to it. They were all practicing during the New Year. Since we could meet in the Southern Province, we should have a good drink. Captain Xia, why don't you be the host? "
Her voice was soft and gentle, and there was a hint of playfulness in her voice, which made the cold atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Sure, and I'll announce our relationship at the same time, so they'll give up. How about that?" He also smiled. His soft voice fell into Ye Chien's heart like a flower blooming, and his smile deepened.
She did not want him to come, but he still came. In this life, she was standing at the place where she died in her previous life, and with him by her side... it felt good.
It was a pity that she did not meet such a good person in her previous life. If she had met him... would the trajectory of that life be different in that life?
