fall into dust

Although Xuelian wanted to sneak away, but it was not suitable to go at this time when the New Year was approaching, and Bai Yi obviously guessed his little plan, so he watched it more closely. Xuelian's plan fell through, so she had to stay here and wait for the New Year.

Because of the end of the year, the town became much more lively. Every household hung up red lanterns and pasted all kinds of window grilles. People who bought new year's goods went to the city to buy them together with their companions. Xuelian also went there once and found that the people in the city were too Much, it's not as quiet as the town, and when Bai Yi called him to go with him in the future, he would shirk him and just help out in the house.

Originally, Chinese New Year should be a happy event, but there is also one thing that makes everyone in the town worry, that is the endless typhoid fever. Since Mrs. Li got sick last time, many people have the same symptoms one after another. Bai Yi After running to several families, all of them prescribed prescriptions, and then gradually got better.However, the weather was extremely cold, and the injuries were still not completely eradicated. From time to time, a few people would get sick again.

On New Year's Eve, Bai Yi also went out early in the morning. The medical clinic has been closed since yesterday, and all the staff doctors went home to prepare for the New Year. The townspeople couldn't find the doctor, so they had to come to the Bai family's residence to look for Bai Yi. Naturally, it was obligatory, so I followed after I brought some things, Xuelian and Xiaoyue stayed in the house, and Bai Yi didn't come back until the afternoon.

Xuelian was a little worried. After looking at the door for a few times, she finally decided to go out and look for it. Xiaoyue looked at him hesitantly, but she still didn't refuse, and only told him to be careful on the road.

Xuelian searched for a way and went to Wang's house, but when she arrived at Wang's house, she heard that Bai Yi had already been invited by Pan's house in the morning. Xuelian went to Pan's house helplessly. Looking at such a long road, he sighed.

He didn't want to have too much to do with him, but he couldn't leave, and Bai Yi always looked at him with bitterness and hatred, which made him feel a lot of pressure. He told himself secretly, after the new year, He must bid farewell to him.

Not far away, a figure was staggering back. Xue Lian took a closer look and found that it was Bai Yi who he was thinking about. His footsteps were slow and faintly unsteady. Late?" He took Bai Yi's medicine box and complained naturally.

Bai Yi's eyes lit up, "Are you looking for me?"

Xue Lian's expression froze, she chuckled and said, "Madam is worried, so I will come out to take a look on her behalf."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Bai Yi's face, she lowered her head and continued to walk forward. Xue Lian took a closer look and saw that he was not only walking slowly, but also limping. Xue Lian's heart tightened and she asked, "What's wrong with your foot?"

"It's okay." Bai Yi said indifferently.

Xue Lian rubbed her nose, Bai Yi ignored others when she was angry, how did he offend him?Xue Lian complained quietly in her heart, but she still switched the medicine box to the other side, then held Bai Yi's arm, and walked with him.Bai Yi turned to look at him, without speaking, the two of them were silent, and walked all the way back to Bai's house.

Xiaoyue had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the two of them to come back at the door. Seeing them walking back from the wind and snow supporting each other, Xiaoyue was overjoyed and hurried up to help with the things. Bai Yi sat down carefully and began to rummage through the medicine box.

"What kind of medicine do you apply?"

"I'll do it myself." Bai Yi said, Xuelian knew that she was not good at learning, so she handed the medicine box to Bai Yi, Bai Yi found a small bottle, and applied the medicine on the sprained area, and didn't look at Xuelian much during the whole process.

Xiaoyue prepared the meal and greeted the two of them to eat. Today, on New Year's Eve, there was the sound of setting off firecrackers at dusk. Xiaoyue had to shout a few words before the two heard them go to the dining room.With Xiaoyue around, Bai Yi couldn't be cold-faced to Xuelian anymore, and Xiaoyue was smiling, which melted the ice and snow between the two of them a lot.

"My lord, try the fish I made. I started marinating it yesterday. It should taste pretty good." Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat it, too." She said, and picked a piece for Bai Yi.

Bai Yi lowered her head and ate it. Seeing this, Xuelian laughed and praised: "Madam is very skillful, brother Bai is really a blessing." Ever since Bai Yi showed his heart to him, Xuelian often praised Xiaolian Yue, it means that your wife is so nice, so don't miss me all the time, okay?But Bai Yi felt very uncomfortable hearing these words. Although there was love between him and Xiaoyue, it was not the kind of vigorous love. He married her more because of the matchmaking of the two parents.He likes Xuelian, but Xuelian always makes him like Xiaoyue, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.

"This eight-treasure chicken is not bad either. It took me a lot of effort to make it." Xiaoyue said, bringing the eight-treasure chicken to Xuelian, and Xuelian put it in Bai Yi's direction, and said: "Brother Bai Taste it, it smells delicious."

Bai Yi didn't move, but put down his chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Is there any wine at home?"

Xiaoyue was taken aback. Bai Yi seldom drank alcohol, so she didn't prepare for it, but there should be a pot of treasures, "It seems that there is a pot in the back room, I will look for it."

Xue Lian's cheeks twitched, this person doesn't want to use wine to drown his sorrows, why can't he think about it!

Xiaoyue quickly went back and forth, holding a large wine jar in both hands, Bai Yi didn't say anything, just took two bowls, put one in front of her and the other in front of Xuelian, Xuelian felt bitter, Why do you ask me to accompany you to drink if you are not happy yourself, alas... whoever makes trouble is caused by yourself, so you can only drink.

Bai Yi filled up the wine and drank a large bowl in one gulp. Xiaoyue exclaimed, "Sir?"

Xue Lian gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, Xiaoyue exclaimed again, "My lord!"

Bai Yi put the bowl on the table with a snap, and continued to pour the wine. Xiaoyue persuaded, "Sir, eat some food first and then drink." He looked at Xuelian, and made him persuade Bai Yi with a wink. But Bai Yi drank it down in one gulp as if he didn't hear it, Xuelian shrugged helplessly, and then drank another big bowl.

With three bowls in a row, Bai Yi finally put down the wine jar. He looked out the door with a gloomy expression, and suddenly said, "It's been almost three months..."

Xiaoyue glanced at Xuelian suspiciously, Xuelian knew what he meant, he had been here for almost three months, but he couldn't tell, Xiaoyue was still here.

Bai Yi suddenly turned to Xiaoyue, his face was sad but firm, he said slowly, "...Xiaoyue, I think, after the New Year..."

"Ahem!!" Xuelian suddenly coughed fiercely. Although he didn't know what Bai Yi was going to say, but his expression and his tone made him feel that it was not a good thing. Because of his existence these days, the relationship between Bai Yi and Xiaoyue The relationship is obviously a lot rusty, they seem to just sleep in the same room at night, and seldom spend the rest of the time together.

Bai Yi is a rational person, he was afraid that he would leave Xiaoyue because of him, in that case, he would not be a big sinner.

"Young master, eat slowly."

Xiaoyue quickly poured a glass of water for Xuelian, Xuelian took it, took a sip to moisturize her throat, nodded to Xiaoyue, smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, I have something to tell you... ..."

Bai Yi's face was flustered, Xiaoyue's expression was puzzled, Xuelian didn't stop, and continued: "I've been bothering you here for so long, I think, after the new year, I should leave."

"no!"

"no!"

With the same voice, the two nervous voices appeared at the same time. Xue Lian was a little drunk and didn't realize that the expressions of the two were so similar, even the movements of patting the table were exactly the same, but the other two sitting, Bai Yi and Xiaoyue, were After the sound fell, he immediately looked at the other party.

There was shock and fear on Bai Yi's face, but on Xiaoyue's face, there was a little bit of bewilderment. She quickly looked away, and her heart was clear.It turned out that those compliments were not admiration for her, but admiration for Bai Yi to see. He had put in good intentions, but he mistook his heartstrings.

"I'm free and unencumbered, and I can live anywhere. Although Queqiao Town is a good place, it's too cold. When spring comes, I'll find a warm place to enjoy myself." Xue Lian He made excuses at random, and even brought out the weather, poured himself a bowl of wine, and said while drinking, "Brother Bai...he is a good person, Madam is ingenious, and Brother Bai is a perfect match, we A man with no possessions, lucky to be taken in by Brother Bai, has just lived a stable life, but... Although Brother Bai is good, I can't always rely on it, can I? After the New Year, I will go to the world and learn a lot .”

Xue Lian was talking to herself, but the other two were immersed in their own thoughts, and he didn't hear a word he said. Xue Lian drank bowl after bowl, almost lying on the table drunk, and he was still talking nonsense , almost always persuading Bai Yi and Xiaoyue to live a good life, Bai Yi gave him a gloomy look, got up and said, "I'll send him back to rest."

"...Mmm." In a daze, Xiaoyue only made this one sound.

She thought that Bai Yi would stay in Xuelian's room, so she went back to her room and sat under the lamp with a cold heart.However, after a while, Bai Yi came in, and he was also sitting under the lamp across the short table, the two of them looked at each other silently.

They have already understood their minds. They have been married for nearly three years. Although there is no intense love, the two respect each other as guests and can be regarded as the closest people. But now, they are both suffering in their hearts. They are obviously husband and wife, but they like the same person. But that person still hopes that they can live a good life.
