hold you in my arms

The time was still in the early morning of the first day of the new year, and there was a sound of firecrackers and firecrackers outside the window. Nie looked out of the flickering window. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the noise had exhausted Nie's patience.

"Ah." Jiang Nie sighed a little, looking at the sleeping Lizhi in front of her, she couldn't help being a little envious.

"Hehe~"

This is already the tenth time that Lizhi has smirked in a dream.Taking nirvana for granted, she leaned her arms on the pillow and leaned towards the litchi.

"What are you thinking about?"

Knowing that there would be no answer, Jiang Nie reached out to touch Lizhi's small face.

Unexpectedly soft, like chocolate-flavored soft bread.

Noticing this cuteness, Jiang Nie lightly pressed down on Lizhi's little face, then pressed down, and pressed down again.

"I hate it." Li Zhi said vaguely, then reached out to slap Jiang Nie's hand away.

It's like being pawed by a little milk cat. There are no sharp claws, and the strength is not strong. If you touch it softly, you feel that you want to bully it even more.

Jiang Nie was full of interest, and her light white fingertips slid across Lizhi's cheeks, through the weedy eyebrows, and slipped across the smooth forehead.Like a ballet dancer, dancing wantonly in an open space.

"Hmm~" Li Zhi felt his face itch and frowned.

Jiang Nie quickly withdrew her fingers, retracted them under the quilt, and exposed her eyes.

Lychee arched in the direction of Jiang Nie, and the legs under the quilt touched Jiang Nie's legs.Lizhi raised her leg, and when she straddled it, Jiang Nie's leg was clamped.

Jiang Nie tensed her legs, trying to back out, but when she turned around, Lizhi clamped even tighter.

Maybe Lizhi didn't feel it was enough, so he waved his big hand and smashed Jiang Nie's chest with his arm.Before Jiang Nie spit out a mouthful of old blood, Lizhi raised his arms and hugged Jiang Nie.

what's the situation!

After Jiang Nie realized that she was hugged by lychee, she looked at the wall with various posters, her face was flushed, and she felt desperate.

"Lichi, can you let go of your hand?" Jiang Nie tried to turn around to face Lizhi, but the lychee was tightly bound.

"not good."

Hearing Lizhi's childish answer, Jiang Nie once thought Lizhi was awake.

"Father gave it, not you, scoundrel!"

dad?It was the first time I heard Lizhi say the word "father".Yes, I haven't seen Lizhi's father yet.

Think about Nirvana, business trip, divorce

Is it...

Passed away?

Listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside the window, Jiang Nie shuddered at the thought of herself, and her newly raised body temperature suddenly dropped.

Feeling the body temperature of the person behind him and the same breathing rhythm, Jiang Nie felt that the surroundings became quiet, and slowly fell asleep.

Jiang Nie felt that she was awakened by a knock on the door before she had slept for a long time, and opened her eyes a little irritatedly, Lizhi was still asleep.

"Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Happy New Year."

What is this doing?Jiang Nie heard the sound outside the door, sat up curiously, got out of the quilt nimbly, stepped over the litchi and came to the door.Slightly opened a crack in the door.

Outside the door, there were a few tall men sitting in the living room, dressed in very decent new clothes, eating melon seeds recklessly.

"Jade Ming is fine, isn't the army tired?"

"pretty good."

Nirvana shifted his gaze to Cassia Ming, a black sweater with a white shirt, and a pair of red socks under the black slacks looming in the cotton slippers?

Meow meow meow?Red!

Jiang Nie couldn't believe that such a neat outfit should end with a pair of bright red socks.

"looking at what?"

Lychee lay on Jiang Nie's body silently, Jiang Nie shivered from fright.

"Someone is here." Jiang Nie replied.

"Happy New Year." Li Zhi put her arms around Jiang Nie's waist and sat on the side of the bed.

"Happy New Year?" Jiang Nie sat on Lizhi's lap unexpectedly obediently.

"It's just..." Thinking that Jiang Nie didn't know the customs of Chinese New Year, Lizhi explained, "Everyone will visit places with people who are close to them..."

"Express your blessings to him, yes, blessings."

Jiang Nie nodded thoughtfully.

"Happy New Year, Lizhi." Jiang Nie stood up with a big smile, and made a bow.

Lizhi felt that an arrow had been shot in his chest, "piu~"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lizhi didn't respond, Jiang Nie asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no." Li Zhi hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's so cute." Lizhi muttered softly.

"What?" Jiang Nie didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing."

"Say it~"

"I said, you're so cute, you're so cute!" Li Zhi rubbed her soft little face.

Jiang Nie's face turned into a tomato on the first day of the new year.

"Lichi, are you awake?" Mama Lizhi knocked on the door lightly.

"woke up!"

"Come out, Grandpa Wang is here."

"Grandpa Wang is here! I'll come out right away." Upon hearing the name, Li Zhi hurriedly changed her clothes.

"Who is Grandpa Wang?" Jiang Nie asked curiously.

"It's the grandpa at the stall downstairs, you've seen it before."

"I remember."

"Would you like to go out and play with him for a while, he is very interesting." Lizhi wanted to introduce all the beautiful people and things around her to Jiang Nie.

Faced with new things, Jiang Nie always chooses to avoid them immediately, "No, I'll sleep a little longer."

"Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Well, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Is the bed not soft enough? The quilt is uncomfortable? Do you recognize the bed? Or..."

Lizhi ran out a lot of questions at once, Jiang Nie was beaten by surprise.

"No, the sound of firecrackers is too loud." Jiang Nie said with a wry smile.

"The old house is just like this, without sound insulation." Li Zhi scratched her head slightly distressed.

"It's okay, I'll just catch up on my sleep."

Jiang Nie pushed the litchi out, "Go quickly, don't make people wait too long."

"Well, go to sleep."

Li Zhi saw that Nirvana got into the bed, and closed the door softly.

After Jiang Nie heard the sound of Lizhi closing the door, she secretly opened her eyes and looked at the room like a curious baby.

The white walls are slightly yellowed, decorated with many posters.The window next to the bed was taped to seal the gap where the air would have leaked.The tables and chairs are like the dowry furniture of the last century.Cosmetics placed in a mess on the table, textbooks stacked unevenly on the bookshelf.

Jiang Nie noticed something like a drawing board between the table and the bookcase, and tiptoed out of bed.Pull Nelly out, it is a flat wooden box.

With lock?

Put Nirvana flat on the box and shake the lock, only to find that it wasn't locked.

Open the box, inside is a variety of paint brushes.The mottled palette seems to tell Jennifer that its owner has been painting for a long time.

Jiang Nie felt that Lizhi must have good paintings.

"It doesn't seem quite right." Jiang Nie lay back on the bed, trying to restrain herself from violating Lizhi's privacy.

Jiang Nie closed her eyes, pretending to be calm and hypnotized herself, "Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

After a while, Jiang Nie opened his eyes, lay on his side on the bed and looked around the room.Finally, I just sat up from the bed and started the search mode.

Lizhi's painting was found by the search dog from the bookcase.

"So many." Jiang Nie dragged the cardboard box out of the bookcase, and there were paintings one after another rolled inside.

Opening one of them, there are fireworks everywhere, shining like flowers under the dark night sky.

Could it be... Jiang Nie pursed her lips and smiled.

Open another picture, a pavilion, emerald green and blue, red tiles and white stones, clusters of mountain flowers, as if the hot sun in midsummer is inside.

I have to say that lychee is very good at using color.

Just as Jiang Nie was exploring the treasure of Lychee, there was the sound of the door opening behind him.

"Jiang Nirvana!"

Lychee pushed the door open and entered.

"Jiang Nie, what are you doing?"

"I...I..." Jiang Nie stood up slowly, her eyes swaying, and her hands were clenched.

"You found my treasure!"

Lizhi suddenly became cheerful, and hugged Jiang Nirvana.

"Ah?" Jiang Nie didn't respond.

"My treasure is like your house full of toys~" Lizhi knelt down and looked at her painting.

"You draw beautifully." Jiang Nie also knelt down and praised.

"Of course." Li Zhi looked at Jiang Nie proudly, and took out his own painting, "I'm self-taught."

"Did no one teach you?" There was a slight surprise on Jiang Nie's face.

"I'm very talented."

"You are amazing."

"Look, this is a small portrait of the painting." Li Zhi took out a booklet and unfolded it in front of Jiang Nie.

As if opening the door to a new world, the faces of various characters are drawn by lychees on pieces of small paper, delicate and delicate.

"This is, when your mother was young?" Jiang Nie looked at the smiling woman on the paper with twinkling eyes.

"Well, my mother was pretty when she was young."

"Where is the beauty?"

"Who is this person?" Set Nirvana's eyes on the portrait of an unfamiliar man, but the unfamiliar man is mixed on the layout of Lizhi's family of three, could it be...

"It's my dad."

Jiang Nie looked at the sadness of the litchi, and looked at the handsome and somewhat solemn man in the portrait. Last night, he guessed, could it be...

"He's very handsome." Jiang Nie wanted to take this man over with one stroke. On the first day of the new year, he should want to be happy, not sad.

"Take me out to play."

"Huh?" Li Zhi was a little confused.

"Let's go out and play." Jiang Nie held Lizhi's arm and was about to go outside.

"Wait a minute, I'll pack it first." Li Zhi turned around and packed her paintings and boxes.

"I can't let my mother find out, there is also Cassia."

"Your mother doesn't know you paint." Jiang Nie was a little surprised.

"Yes, children always have to do something without telling their parents."

"Hiding it from your parents?" Jiang Nie looked at Lizhi, yes, hiding it from her parents.

In less than half a second, I was startled by my horrible thoughts just now, what was I thinking!

Seeing Jiang Nie's eyes widen suddenly, Li Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." Jiang Nie shook his head.

Lizhi pushed the box into its original position, patted the ashes on his hands, and said suddenly, "You smell~"

Stretched Nie out of his little nose and sniffed, "It smells so good."

"It's time to prepare the lunch meal!"

"Jiang Nie, this is Grandpa Wang." Li Zhi pushed open the door to the living room and introduced.

"Hello, Grandpa Wang." Jiang Nie said hello obediently. "Happy New Year."

"Good luck, good luck." Seeing that it was the little girl brought by Lizhi last time, Grandpa Wang was very pleased, and joked, "Did you bring the family here?"

"Grandpa~" Hearing this, Li Zhi blushed and his heart tightened.

"Grandpa was joking." Jiang Nie nodded slightly.

"Look at this kid's speech is still very polite." Grandpa Wang let out a hearty laugh, Jiang Nie felt that he was still healthy and healthy.

"Mom, Nie and I will go out to play after lunch!" Li Zhi happily jumped in front of her mother.

"Huh? Don't you have dinner?" Mama Lizhi wiped her hands with water and came out of the kitchen.

"Look, Grandpa Wang's family had lunch together." Lizhi walked to Grandpa Wang's side and held his arm, "Grandpa Wang's cooking is delicious!"

Before Mother Lizhi had time to think about it, there was a cry for help from the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, do you think this chicken is alright?"

"Okay, I have to come back early." Mama Lizhi turned around and entered the kitchen in a hurry.

"Oh." Grandpa Wang stood up with his hands on his legs, "I went to the kitchen to fight too."

Right now there are only Jiang Nie, Lizhi and Cassia in the living room, Caesar said, "Go out as soon as you go out, don't come back late."

"I know—" Lizhi fell down and lay on Jiang Nie's lap.

"I'll be back early, brother, don't worry." Jiang Nie said.

Jueming glanced at Lizhi, and felt that he still had to tell her, "Keep an eye on Lizhi, don't let her run around."

"Ah."

The TV was rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala, the kitchen was cooking in full swing, and there were three people in the living room, but no one spoke, and the surrounding atmosphere was extremely quiet, which lasted until the meal.
