When the piping hot dumplings were placed on the dining table one by one, Lu Benlai brought Keke to wash her hands.
Leng Nuan placed the plates on the table and sprinkled them with vinegar. At this moment, Keke and Lu Benlai walked out of the bathroom one after another.
But as soon as they arrived at the dining table, Keke suddenly let go of her father's hand and ran to the balcony.
"Keke, come and eat …"
Before Leng Nuan could finish her words, she looked at Keke's eyes, and at the same time, she also looked out the window. Then, her entire body froze.
Lu Benlai glanced at Leng Nuan in bewilderment, and noticing that there was something amiss with her expression, he asked, "What's wrong?" Following her gaze, he looked out the window, and just like her, he froze as well.
At some point in time, heavy snow had started falling from the window.
Fluttering and rustling, it was like a scene from a TV drama.
Lu Benlai and Leng Nuan stared out the window for a very, very long time before they finally recovered from their daze and slowly turned to look at one another.
Lu Benlai: "It's snowing."
Leng Nuan glanced out the window for a moment before replying, "Yes, it's snowing."
It's really snowing …
Leng Nuan stared at the drifting snow, and as she stared at it, she suddenly recalled that Christmas many years ago. The young man who created artificial snow at school. Tears welled up in her eyes, but her lips still curled up. After seven years, she was saying the words she had said back then.
She said, "I'm willing to admit defeat."
Yes, I'm willing to admit defeat, and I'm willing to admit defeat.
…
By the time Xia Shangzhou was done with his work, it was already midnight. He dragged his fatigued body home, took a hot shower, and collapsed onto his bed, intending to sleep. But when he recalled Lin Jiayi's CD, he couldn't help but place it on his laptop and project it onto the wall, watching it from start to end.
Once wasn't enough, so Xia Shangzhou played it a second time. After listening to it for an unknown number of times, he finally fell asleep even though his laptop wasn't switched off.
The next morning, Xia Shangzhou was awoken by knocking on his door.
He stood up in a daze and went to the bathroom to squeeze out some toothpaste. Then he bit on his toothbrush and walked to the door.
With a muffled "Who is it?", he opened the door, and before he could even open his eyes, an oversized red suitcase was pushed into his room. Following which, Lin Jiayi's voice sounded from outside the door, "What time is it already? Why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and go out …"
Xia Shangzhou blinked in disbelief. He bit his toothbrush and stared blankly for a long time before he looked at the person standing at the door.
It's really her, she's really back …
A look of ecstasy flashed across his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, she said, "Navigator, didn't I tell you before that I would give you an explanation when I return? I'm here to give you an explanation. Hurry, follow me … "
As she spoke, Lin Jiayi grabbed Xia Shangzhou's arm and dragged him out.
"I haven't finished brushing my teeth, and I haven't put on my clothes."
"Then hurry up!"
"Navigator, are you done yet? Aiyah, I'm awake. Don't shave anymore. This is it. This dress looks pretty good too, so I'll wear it. Forget about the shoes, I'll take this pair … "
After Xia Shangzhou was dragged into the elevator by Lin Jiayi, Xia Shangzhou finally realized what was going on and asked, "Where are we going?"
"The Civil Affairs Bureau! My treat!"
"Civil Affairs Bureau? What's that for? "
"What do you think? It's either a divorce certificate or a marriage certificate. Which one do you think you can get? "
"Wait for me then. I have to go back to shave and change my clothes. I can't be photographed like this, it's too ugly!"
"So what if you're ugly? It's fine as long as I'm beautiful. In any case, you're just a foil. Let's go!"
…
Soon after Christmas, it was New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day, Xia Shangzhou accompanied Lin Jiayi to go shopping, Lu Benlai and Leng Nuan brought Keke to Hainan, He Tiantian went to the Maldives to make up for their honeymoon, and Liang Jiusi stayed by Jiang Yue's side to take care of his wife. Only Lin Jiage was chased out of the house on the first day of the new year …
PS:
1: That's the end of the side story. There's still a little drama about Shi Yao and Lin Jiage. I'll update it tomorrow for everyone to watch. Actually, it's fine if you don't watch it.
2: The side story doesn't write about marriage and childbirth, so everyone can fill in the blanks on their own. If I were to continue writing, it would become the main body story, and the main character would be overshadowed by the main character. So, don't say that I was sloppy, I really wasn't sloppy at all. I still wrote more than a hundred thousand words for the side story!
3: Thank you for your company all this while. Un, I'm going on vacation now. On the 12th of January, which is the 12th of next month, I'll see you all for the new book. If you still remember me and are willing to support me, let's continue having fun on that day!
4: It's the last month. We've worked so hard for this book, so I hope that this month, if you have the votes, you can still vote for this book. The votes for this month are really important, but I can't keep writing until the end of the month. I can only hope that if you remember, please vote for it if you have the votes. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't remember. Let's just leave it to fate!
5: Let's cut to the chase. Let's do another activity for this chapter. It's still 5 babies (MAC lipstick + 88 RMB Cash Packet), and the winning condition is to vote. The last sentence is especially important: Tomorrow, I'll be announcing the list of winners. When the time comes, all of you must remember to come take a look and claim your prize!
