I just want to be a good person

Chapter 241 New Years

In a small village more than 2000 kilometers away, Lin Xiaocao was sitting on the stone steps in front of the door with her legs crossed, listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers outside the courtyard, dazed.

The door of the house behind her was pasted with brand-new red blessing characters, and a few strings of bacon and sausages were hung under the eaves. The lights in the house were bright, and there was the faint sound of a hilarious TV set.

The small yard in front of me is not big. A small part of it is a cement floor with a three-wheeled bicycle parked on it. The rest of the yard is filled with various vegetables.

The oily green vegetable leaves glowed white under the moonlight, and they seemed to be growing well. It should be that the owner watered and fertilized it frequently.

Lin Xiaocao just sat there blankly, resting her chin gently on her knees, her big eyes blinking as if waiting for something.

"Ring bell bell!"

Suddenly there was a rush of ringtones in her arms, and she hurriedly took out the phone, but the expression on her little face was somewhat disappointed.

"Hey, Ruyue..."

"Xiaocao, Happy New Year!"

Sun Ruyue's tone was brisk, and she sent a long list of blessings in succession: "I hope that your wishes will come true in the new year, that you will have a good time with Shen Wang, and that you can make further progress in your studies..."

Lin Xiaocao was not as eloquent as Sun Ruyue, so she could only reply weakly.

"Ru Yue, you have to do the same."

Sun Ruyue was overjoyed when she heard it, and joked with a smile: "Heck, do I want to have a good time with Shen Wang too?"

"what?"

Lin Xiaocao froze for a moment, then stammered and explained in a low voice: "I, I mean something else..."

"Hahaha! Xiaocao, you are so cute!"

Sun Ruyue yelled like a pigeon spirit for a while before she stopped laughing: "Okay! I'm just kidding you!"

"Whoa whoa."

Lin Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, and chatted with Sun Ruyue for a while before hanging up the phone.

Looking at the time on the phone, it was past eleven o'clock, and the sound of firecrackers in the village was at its most lively, mixed with the yelling of children.

As far as the movement and battle are concerned, let alone the Nian Beast, it is estimated that even Godzilla will be scared away when he comes.

Opening the dialog box with Shen Wang, Lin Xiaocao began to edit the blessing message word by word.

She first typed out the words "Shen Wang, Happy New Year!", but after hesitating for a while, she deleted the exclamation mark and added four words after it.

"I miss you."

Although there was no one around at the moment, and even her mother was watching TV in the room, Lin Xiaocao shrank her head into her clothes shyly, and it took a long time to muster up the courage to reach out to press the send button.

But before she clicked on it, the screen was suddenly taken over by Shen Wang's provocative WeChat avatar.

Lin Xiaocao froze for a moment, then quickly picked up the video call.

"Hey! Can you see it?"

Shen Wang was bluffing on the other side of the screen, the surroundings were pitch black.

"Look, I can see it."

"That's fine."

Shen Wang moved his face closer, and asked doubtfully, "Why is it so dark in your place? Are you outside too?"

"I'm in the yard." Lin Xiaocao answered truthfully.

"Why don't you stay in the house?"

"House, the signal in the room is not good, I, I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid you won't get my call?"

Shen Wang immediately guessed what this little girl was thinking, and sighed: "How long have you been outside?"

"No, not for long."

The screen was too dark, Shen Wang could hardly see anything, but it felt as if a small hand was swinging non-stop.

Although Lin Xiaocao said it wasn't long, he knew very well that this girl definitely had time to stay outside and wait for his call all day today.

In addition to being distressed, Shen Wang was a little angry at Lin Xiaocao's stupidity: "Are you a fool? Call me on your own initiative and it's over?"

Lin Xiaocao felt aggrieved: "I, I'm afraid to disturb your work..."

"..."

Shen Wang laughed and said, "I'm your boyfriend, what are you afraid of!"

"Don't do this in the future, do you hear me?!"

"Listen, I heard..."

Seeing Lin Xiaocao agreeing in a low voice, Shen Wang didn't continue this topic anymore, but took two steps to the side and squatted down.

"Do you want to watch the fireworks?"

"fireworks?"

Lin Xiaocao was stunned: "Hey, where are the fireworks?"

"Just say if you want to see it or not!"

"Think, think..."

Lin Xiaocao stared at the screen and saw that Shen Wang seemed to be squatting on the ground fiddling with something, and then the camera suddenly flickered.

When the picture stabilized again, there was no longer Shen Wang on the screen, only a bright moon and a few faintly visible stars.

A few seconds later, a large firework exploded on the screen, and the flames scattered sparsely around, followed by a second, and a third... The entire screen was filled with radiant light.

Lin Xiaocao stared at the screen blankly, as if his breathing had stopped.

There is no doubt that this should be the most romantic thing she has ever experienced in her life.

Shen Wang's voice also came from the microphone at this time.

"Does it look good?"

"Mmmmmmmmm!"

Lin Xiaocao nodded in haste, even forgetting that Shen Wang couldn't see her.

"Shen Wang..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"New, Happy New Year."

"Hahahaha, Happy New Year!"

"Also, and. I, I miss you..."

……

After the fireworks of "Successful Twice", he chatted with Lin Xiaocao a few more times. After hanging up the video, Shen Wang felt that being a scumbag was really exhausting.

Just now, after setting off the fireworks with Qi Mingkai and Zhu Yao, he first sent them home, and then drove back to the People's Park. That's how the scene just now happened.

Looking at the time, it was already 11:30 after this round of tossing around, and Shen Wang didn't care about taking a break, so he kicked the accelerator and started to drive home again.

Fortunately, Shen Wang's house was not far from the People's Park, and since there were no cars on the road at this time, he could drive a little faster, so he managed to get in before 12 o'clock.

Liu Xiujuan had just put the dumplings into the pot at this time, when she heard the door open, she poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Why did you come back so late this year?"

"Blame Lao Qi, he's just moaning."

Shen Wang directly blamed Qi Mingkai: "Xiaoquan and I have been waiting for him for a long time."

"Oh."

Liu Xiujuan didn't think much, and asked while cooking the dumplings: "Did you call Xiaocao today?"

"Of course I did, and she asked me to give you New Year's greetings on her behalf."

"What a good boy, you must treat him well..."

"Mom, you've said that at least fifty times."

"I'm not..."

Liu Xiujuan just wanted to say something in dissatisfaction, but Shen Wang didn't give her a chance, and slipped into the living room.

Shen Ziping was sitting on the sofa, happily smoking Huazi, and he didn't know if it was the same ones that Shen Wangxiao did last time.

Usually he can only smoke on the balcony, but today he can only smoke in the living room once a year.

Shen Wang went to sit opposite Shen Ziping, and also fumbled for a cigarette from the cigarette case to light it.

The father and son finished their cigarettes with one sip while the other finished their cigarettes. A powerful bell sounded on the TV, and all the hosts stood in the center of the stage together, counting down the New Year in unison.

"...3!"

"...2!"

"...1!"

"Happy New Year, viewers!"

"The Year of the Pig is here! CCTV and all its staff are here to give..."

Looking away from the TV screen, Shen Wang smiled and looked out the window.

The lights of thousands of houses in the empty city are swaying, and at a glance, it feels like you are in a trance like a galaxy.

Either the difficult, lucky, sad, or happy year has passed, whether you expect it or not, time is always moving forward, and everything is new in the blink of an eye.
