wrong love

The fireworks in the community are set off every year.

However, the residents here are either rich or expensive, and they have never seen anything in the world.In addition, this winter is very cold, so not many people come out to watch the fireworks.Most of the people who come are young couples with children, or couples.The adults are in pairs, and the children are cheering.

Gu Chengxi and Shen Qingcheng walked side by side to the lake, and chose a place with a good view to stand down.

The fireworks have already started to go off, blossoming into the sky, blooming in the sky.

Naturally, the fireworks here cannot be compared with the magnificent celebrations on TV, but there is something unique—the fireworks are set off on a boat in the lake.When people stand close together, they seem to have a different feeling.

The dots of fire in the sky are reflected on the surface of the lake, rippling gently with the shallow ripples on the water surface, adding some vividness.

"boom!"

A firework soars into the sky, blooming in the air like a spring bud, when the light is about to die, the color suddenly changes, from red to dazzling white.The white light exploded again, emitting countless small purple sparks, dazzling, like stars, shining non-stop.

"It's so beautiful!" Gu Chengxi looked up at the sky and admired it sincerely.

Shen Qingcheng looked at her profile and asked, "Do you like fireworks?"

"Ok!"

The dots of light in the sky seemed to fall into Gu Chengxi's eyes, and the expression on his face was excited and proud.

"I like it! When I was young, I set off a lot of fireworks at my grandfather's place. At that time, there were many children together. I was the most courageous, more courageous than those little boys. Every time I lit the biggest fireworks."

The next moment, she showed a bitter face again.

"Later, I accidentally set a kid's pants on fire, and a big hole was burnt through his buttocks. I was beaten when I got home, and I was not allowed to let it go..."

While talking, he made gestures on himself.Tell Shen Qingcheng how big the hole in the butt of the kid's pants is, and how the flowery shorts inside were exposed.When it comes to being beaten, he looks even more aggrieved.

Shen Qingcheng smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Xixi, tell me something about your childhood..."

*********************

A tall and thin figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the villa, and the flickering fire outside the window reflected a slightly haggard face.

How many years have you not seen fireworks?Lin Tan himself can't remember clearly.

The goblet in his hand was half full of dark red liquid.With the slight movement of the wrist, the liquid slowly rotated, leaving a viscous mark on the crystal clear glass.

Outside the window, the purple light spots are like stars, dotting the sky and twinkling.

as always...

"Sister, I want to watch the fireworks." The immature voice was soft and waxy, and two big round eyes looked over, full of anticipation.

"Okay, my sister will help you. Yueyue, stand far away and don't run around."

"En!" The little man nodded vigorously, while covering his ears with his chubby hands.

The lead wire was burning sizzlingly, detonating the fireworks, and after a muffled sound, red and green lights bloomed in the air.

"Look so good! Look so good! My sister is amazing!" The little girl carved in pink and jade was jumping up and down, clapping her hands and cheering childishly.Then, with small legs, he ran over patter, and dropped a loud kiss on the face.

"MUA!"

"Sister, Happy New Year!"

……

She doesn't like watching fireworks.

Because there are too many memories about fireworks, I shouldn't touch them, I can't touch them, I dare not touch them...

She raised her wine glass, greeted somewhere far away in the night sky, and silently wished softly in her heart: Happy New Year!

Raising her long and white hand lightly, the wine in the glass was drained in one gulp.

*************

Shen Qingcheng raised her head slightly, facing the direction of the radiance in the night, but her deep eyes were not focused, but cast into the void in the distance through the gorgeous light.

Gu Cheng was looking forward to her perfect and exquisite side face, the feeling of fading all things struck again, making her lose her mind for a moment.

"Chengcheng, do you like fireworks?"

Shen Qingcheng's voice was faint, with an indescribable ethereal taste, as if the whole person had gone to an unknown place with his thoughts.

"well enough."

Is this what you don't like?

Gu Chengxi frowned, puzzled and said, "Why don't you like it?"

"Maybe it's because... the fireworks tend to be cold. No matter how brilliant it is, it's only for a while."

Gu Chengxi was silent, "But it will light up again next time, what does it matter?"

Shen Qingcheng turned her head, her dark eyes met hers, her eyes were soft, and she said leisurely.

"But... the next time it lights up, it's not this one firework."

Gu Chengxi blurted out like a ghost, "Then I will invent a machine in the future so that the fireworks will never go out."

Shen Qingcheng was stunned.A moment later, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and the black eyes reflected the light in the sky, as if there were thousands of stars.

The thin lips parted slightly, and the voice was soft.It was a bit of a joke, but also full of hope, "Okay, then I will wait."

……

The fireworks event in the community is over.

The two girls walked back side by side.

The moonlight mixed with the light from the street lamps in the community, making the shadows of the two people very long.

When going, the shadows came one after the other.

After returning, it became shoulder to shoulder, a narrow shadow connecting the two shadows together, following the rhythm of the steps, together, one fall.

……

"Mom, we're back!"

Lin Tan stood in front of the living room window and turned his head.There was already a touch of crimson on the cold and white cheeks, but the eyes were still clear.Seeing the two of them coming back, he suppressed the loneliness and gloom in his eyes, and put on a gentle smile.

"finish watching?"

"En." Shen Qingcheng nodded.

Gu Chengxi who was on the side added: "Aunt Lin, why don't you go, it's very beautiful."

Lin Tan said indifferently: "I'm getting older, and I don't like to join in the fun. Besides, it's the same every year, so there's nothing new about it."

Lin Tan doesn't like to watch fireworks, and Shen Qingcheng doesn't like to watch fireworks either, it's really hereditary.Gu Chengxi murmured in her heart, and she didn't realize it until the next second, it's not right, the inheritance should be passed on to herself, and she forgot about the fault...

It seems that it is better to follow who grows up to be who...

"Then shall we go back to the room first?"

Lin Tan nodded, "I put the New Year's gift in your room for you, go up and see if you like it."

Gu Chengxi was stunned, why is there still a gift? !

"Let's go, why are you standing there?" Shen Qingcheng gently pulled her.

She followed Shen Qingcheng upstairs, crying inwardly.What should I do, I didn't bring anything except some fruit...

In the living room, Lin Tan looked at the backs of the two children thoughtfully.

**********************

Pushing open the door, I saw two big boxes on the table, exactly the same size, and exactly the same packaging.It's just that one box is tied with a yellow ribbon, and the other box is tied with a red ribbon.Pinned to the ribbon were small cards, each written in pen:

"Xixi, Happy New Year!"

"Chengcheng, Happy New Year!"

The box was opened, and inside were two pairs of identical inline skates.It's just that Gu Chengxi's is a size too big - she has grown a lot recently and is already four or five centimeters taller than Shen Qingcheng.

Unlike ordinary skates, the uppers of these two pairs of shoes are not made of plastic, but are made of leather like skate shoes.The four wheels are very wide. I don't know what material the surface is made of. It has a flexible feeling when touched by hand.With a light flick of a finger, the wheel turned briskly without making any sound.

What a great skate!

Gu Chengxi's eyes were glued to the skates and she couldn't move her eyes. She swallowed, and it was even more difficult.

like or not?Like it!

Do you want it or not?Of course I want it!

but……

This looks very expensive!

She bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Chengcheng, I can't..."

Before the word "yes" could be said, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

Shen Qingcheng: "Xixi, can you skate?"

Gu Chengxi: "Huh?... Will... a little."

Shen Qingcheng: "Then teach me. When the time comes, shall we find a place to skate together?"

……

Gu Chengxi: "Okay... let's go."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Chengxi regretted it.

She didn't know what she did, every time she thought well, but as long as she faced Shen Qingcheng, she couldn't say the word "no".But how is she going to go home and explain to Jiang Xueqing? After receiving one expensive gift after another, she is almost dying of worry...

……

Shen Qingcheng didn't care about her worries, put away her skates, and rushed her.

"It's late, you go take a shower first."

Gu Chengxi sighed secretly in his heart, followed her into the bathroom that came with the room.

Shen Qingcheng explained to her how to adjust the hot and cold water, and also took out a set of new towels that had been prepared.

Gu Chengxi quickly refused, took out his towel from the bag, and went into the bathroom.

The shower gel exudes a pleasant aroma, and the warm water drenches the body, warming it up.Gu Chengxi forgot her worries and took a comfortable bath.After washing, I got dressed, wiped my hair with a towel, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Your phone is ringing." Shen Qingcheng reminded. "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Oh." Gu Chengxi grabbed the phone and clicked on it, and sure enough there was a new message on WeChat.Clicking on it, it was Jiang Xueqing who told her not to eat indiscriminately, to be careful not to get the wound when taking a bath, and to be polite when visiting other people's houses;

She clicked on the chat window, intending to protest that she still treats herself like a child, nagging endlessly.But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the box in the corner, and when he thought of the beautiful skates in the box, his heart suddenly felt empty.He raised his hand and replied:

【knew.I'm going to bed, you and dad should eat well and go to bed early. 】

Alas, next time there is a gift, I really can't ask for it.No matter how Shen Qingcheng looked at him or said anything, he couldn't take it anymore!

……

She put down her phone, only to remember that Shen Qingcheng forgot to bring her a hair dryer.So she went to the bathroom door and knocked, "Chengcheng, do you have a hair dryer?"

Shen Qingcheng's voice came out, "The one in the room seems to be broken, you can go to my mother to get hers...she should be upstairs in the study."

"Oh."

Gu Chengxi heard the words and left the room.

The Shen family villa has three floors, the first floor is the living room and dining room, the second floor is the bedroom and guest room, and she has not been to the third floor.She went up to the third floor, and there was a room in front of which the door was ajar, and the light came out from it. This should be the study.

Gu Chengxi walked over, but before he reached the door, he heard a female voice coming from inside.Cold and indifferent, slightly tired.

"Shen Nanshan, let's get a divorce..."
