Confess you in early winter

"Of course." The woman suppressed her surprised eyes for a moment, and gently pursed the corners of her lips, "It was my mistake, I didn't find out that you would come in advance, I owe you the gift first, and I will make it up to you next time we meet. "

Not only is there a gift, but also a promise to meet next time, this step is sure to make money.

The bright lights in the living room reflected a hint of autumn in Yan Chu's eyes, her eyebrows were slightly curved, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, her smile was sweet and clear, like rain in February and wind in April.

"Thank you, Sister Su!"

At this time, Mother Li walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, and called everyone to the dining room: "What are you doing in a daze? Come over for dinner!"

The round dining table of Li’s family has two layers, inside and outside. When there are few people, the outer layer can be folded and stored. Now there are two more guests, and the students who are studying at school are also going home. The outer edge of the table is unfolded, and there are a dozen The plates were still more than enough.

Su Ci and Yan Chu were visitors, and they were seated together. In view of Li Zheng's strong request, he sat on Su Ci's left, while Li Qin placed his chair on Yan Chu's right.

Li's father and Su Ci have a business cooperation, and they inevitably talked about market conditions and company management during the chat. He got excited and proposed to have a drink with Su Ci. Su Ci waved his hand and declined politely: "Uncle Li, I drove the car." here."

Li's mother also advised: "It's noon, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" As she spoke, she poured him half a cup of barley tea.

Father Li felt a little sorry for not being able to enjoy himself to the fullest, but he didn't insist.

After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to chat and watch TV. It was mainly Li's father and Su Ci who were talking. Li Zheng didn't understand what they were talking about, but he wanted to listen to them and didn't interrupt, so he just stayed by Su Ci's side and watched over. , serve a cup of tea and pour water, as obedient as a different person.

Li Qin was not interested in business matters, and dragged Yan Chu to continue fiddling with the Christmas tree in the yard, hanging small things like bells, ribbons, and balloons on the branches, while Yan Chu helped her, but his mind stayed in the living room, From time to time peering in through the open door.

But she didn't dare to be too blatant to attract people's attention, she couldn't help but glance in that direction, freeze for a second or two and then look back.

Some interesting topic was discussed in the room, and the woman smiled softly, so Li Zheng grabbed a lot of melon seeds and shared some among them.

Su Ci is a junior, so most of the time she just listens and learns from the teachings of her predecessors.

Turning head inadvertently to the outside, I saw two girls in the yard decorating ornaments on the pine branches stepping on stools. They were very busy. There were a lot of things piled up in the yard, giving it a festive atmosphere.

There are some chic trinkets hanging on the pine tree, which are indeed more beautiful than the monotonous green before.

The outdoor temperature was lower than the indoor temperature, and the winter wind was blowing on his face, which was icy cold. After a while, his hands and feet became cold. Li Qin also suffered from the cold, and his toes were numb. When he got up, he stomped his feet hard to relieve it.

She got into the house and came out with a stove, raised the door curtain, followed by two people and a dog.

The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and it was a bit boring after sitting for a long time. Su Ci said that he wanted to go to the yard to get some air and see if he could help, so Li Zheng naturally followed outside.

The woman was wearing a light gray woolen jacket with the front open, revealing a dark blue turtleneck sweater. The waist was narrowed to look thinner, perfectly outlining her mature and charming figure.

"Is there something missing on the top of the tree?" Yan Chu was still standing on the stool, with his back to the door, and motioned Li Qin to find out the Christmas hat that he didn't know where to put, and planned to decorate it on the top of the tree.

Li Qin responded, bent over and rummaged through the cardboard box for a while.

A gust of wind suddenly blew outside the wall, the pine branches trembled slightly, the needles rubbed, and when the leaves overlapped, they made a fine rustling sound.

A red balloon fell down a branch, hehe came out from nowhere, happily chased after it, and squeezed through the stool, causing the stool under Yan Chu's feet to slide down.

The weightlessness of the fall came suddenly, and Yan Chu was stunned. Before he could react, he heard a sudden exclamation from behind: "Be careful!"

The stool overturned and rolled far away, but she was embraced by someone.

His heart was pounding, his breathing was not steady, Yan Chu was still in shock, he kept the posture of being hugged tightly, his body was tense, and he didn't dare to move.

"Yan Chu! Are you alright?!" The scene just now frightened Li Qin, she threw away the things in her hand and ran over quickly.

Awakened by Li Qin's voice, Yan Chu realized that the person holding her at this moment was actually Su Ci.

The incident happened suddenly, and the woman didn't hesitate to use much strength in desperation. She hugged her arms tightly, and the faint pine fragrance on her body was closely entwined with her breath, while she was holding on to the woman's clothes tightly, for fear that she would fall if she let go. go down.

At that moment, she panicked and instinctively wanted to grab something, so she grabbed Su Ci's arm.

Huo Guojin found that everyone was looking at her, even Li's father and Li's mother ran out when they heard the movement, Yan Chu immediately felt a little embarrassed, not only did his heartbeat not slow down, but it became more urgent.

"Are you okay?" Su Ci asked in a low voice.She didn't let go, fearing that Yan Chu's legs would be weak and he wouldn't be able to stand up.

Yan Chu let go of her tightly clenched clothes and took two steps back, lowered her head to hide her hot cheeks, and said in a soft voice, "I'm fine, thank you Sister Su."

Li Qin rushed in front of Yan Chu, grabbed her shoulders and checked her up and down.

After confirming that it was just a false alarm and that Yan Chu was not injured, she let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, she felt angry, and turned her head to scold the culprit of the accident just now: "Hey! What are you doing?!"

Hehe was also frightened by the panic when the stool fell over, it could easily feel the anger of the little master, a pair of dark and moist eyes widened, ears drooped in fear, pitiful and helpless.

Seeing Hehe like this, Yan Chu couldn't bear it, grabbed Li Qin's wrist and said, "Okay, what does it know? Don't get angry with Hehe."

It was originally an accident, and she herself wasn't careful enough, let alone there was no danger, as long as she was fine.

Li Qin didn't really want to take Hey Hey, but just got angry just now when he was dizzy.

Seeing the frightened and aggrieved little guy, she also softened her heart, but she didn't want to forgive it so easily, so she pulled her face and hummed: "Cancel today's snacks as a punishment, don't make an example!"

Li Qin spoke, and all the family members cooperated, and there will be no snacks for the next half a day.

Although Li Zheng likes to bicker with his sister, he can tell the difference between the serious and the serious. Hey Hey made a mistake, he will not take sides, and can only cast a helpless look at Hey Hey who seems to be asking for help.

The hat on the top of the Christmas tree was finally hung by Su Ci, and Li Zheng cooperated with Su Ci to wind the small lanterns around the pine branches.

Guests came one after another in the afternoon. The meal at noon was regarded as a family banquet. The real party was in the evening. Father Li carried out the barbecue grill from the warehouse and called Li Zheng and Li Qin to help in the kitchen. Su Ci and Yan Chu also returned to the living room to sit. Next rest.

After six o'clock, the sky was dark, the wind became stronger, and the clouds were pressing down. There were few pedestrians on the streets outside the community, and only the lights in the courtyard brought some warmth.

There are more and more guests at home, most of them are young people of the same generation as Li Qin, and there are also three or two elders chatting and drinking with Li's father in the house, and the children gather in the yard to play cards, eat skewers and drink night beer , laughing and making noise, without stopping.

Yan Chu is introverted, rarely takes the initiative to make friends, he is relatively reticent on weekdays, and looks quiet.

It was the first time she came into contact with Li Qin's circle of friends outside of her classmates, she was a bit unfamiliar, but she was good-looking, and she was quite friendly when she smiled, and Li Qin tried her best to protect her. , Gradually blend into the atmosphere.

Some people asked Li Qin for her contact information in private. Unexpectedly, Li Qin, who had always been generous and enthusiastic about making friends, suddenly turned his face and refused to let anyone inquire.

The small lanterns on the branches of the Christmas tree were powered on, and the colorful lights flickered gradually, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Su Ci didn't come to the backyard, and at a young age, she was already clearly separated from the juniors in the courtyard, so Li Zheng didn't follow her anymore.

When Yan Wei walked through the living room with a stack of sauced beef, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa. Father Li was introducing her to two friends around him, and he couldn't help but admire Su Ci's work ability and what she had achieved at a young age. Achievement.

The woman's posture was modest, and she spoke politely. She raised her eyes inadvertently, her gaze met Yan Chu's, and then moved away after only a second, still listening attentively to the elders' chat.

Yan Chu patiently waited all afternoon but did not get a chance to be alone with the woman, and even failed to say a few words to her. Corresponding to the vague expectation in his heart, was the unreasonable depression and loss, so that Li Qin When playing cards with her, she was frequently distracted.

"Are you tired from playing?" Li Qin noticed that she was absent-minded, and handed over a glass of warm water, "Why don't you go back today and stay here, there are free rooms."

Yan Chu shook his head: "This Saturday, I have to call home routinely in the evening. My parents are very strict. They won't allow me to live outside. It's almost time. I might have to go back."

"That……"

Li Qin was still about to say something, but mother Li's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Xiao Qin, come here."

The conversation was interrupted, Li Qin had no choice but to go back to the living room, Yan Chu sat for a while, got up and went to the bathroom.

There is a short corridor from the living room to the bathroom, and the view is relatively hidden, so it is necessary to turn a corner. Yan Chu turned around and saw a person by accident.

Su Ci was answering the phone by the sink, and when Yan Chu came, the call was coming to an end, the woman replied: "Okay, I see, you put the file on my desk, I'll go back and read it later."

Yan Chu stopped and didn't approach, until the woman hung up the phone and looked over, she smiled and asked obediently: "Is sister Su in a hurry to leave?"

Su Ci glanced at the time, and smiled peacefully: "It's not urgent, but I'm really ready to say goodbye to uncles and aunts."

Yan Chu blinked, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "What a coincidence, I'm planning to go back to school too. Does Sister Su want to go out together? I'll wait for the bus outside the community."

The innocent expression on her face is really unstoppable.

As expected, the woman didn't think too much, and answered the words very naturally: "Then why don't I give you a ride? I happened to drive here."

"Will it be too much trouble for you? Don't you still have a job?" Yan Chu looked worried.

Su Ci smiled gently: "It's okay, don't worry."

The corners of Yan Chu's mouth were still upturned, but she stabilized it just in time, her eyes were bright, and she followed the words: "Then I will trouble Sister Su."
