Arbors intertwined

After an hour and a half of travel, Qiao Ran and Jiang Min arrived in City B very quickly.

Just after turning it on, Qiao Ran received a text message from Mu Zixin, and immediately stopped and pressed the button to reply.

Jiang Min followed and stopped, seeing the smile on her younger sister's head when she lowered her head to reply, she couldn't help smiling, and when Qiao Ran sent her reply and raised her head, she teased and said, "Is Mu Zixin too anxious to send a message so soon? "

Qiao Ran smiled and handed the phone directly to Jiang Min, motioning for her sister to take a look.

Jiang Min accepted it suspiciously, only to see the previous message from Mu Zixin on the screen read: [Qiao Ran, have a good New Year, don't think about anything else.Confessing things like this to my parents has to wait until I'm together. ]

He obviously didn't mention this, but Mu Zixin sent a message as if he had a heart, and asked Qiao Ran to keep it a secret for the time being.

Jiang Min returned the phone to Qiao Ran: "Mu Zixin is right. For the New Year's Eve, you should be as happy as before. Let's go." If parents strongly object, then of course they should also hope that Mu Zixin can accompany her. by your side?Jiang Min shook his head helplessly because of his premature prediction.

Before Qiao Ran nodded to answer, Jiang Min heard a shout not far away.

She turned her head and looked towards the exit, and she spotted two gray-haired old men among the crowd gathered there to welcome relatives, friends or guests.

They were looking forward to Mu Zixin's side, looking a little urgent.

After all, this was the first time that Jiang Min had been away from their side for so long.

How can any parent not miss their children who go out to work?Therefore, the two elders of the Jiang family knew the news of their two daughters' return. Even though Jiang Min specifically asked them to go back on their own and told their parents not to go out in this weather, they still rushed to the airport to pick up their daughters.

"I'm thinner." With such an exclamation, the two old Jiang family members who were originally unhappy because of Jiang Min's insistence on staying in City H also temporarily put aside their knots, and the family took a taxi to go home. go.

Back home, because the two elders were always at home, Qiao Ran couldn't keep sending messages to Mu Zixin on the phone, so he could only explain to Mu Zixin and put the phone away, walking and chatting with the two elders as he did in the past few years , Shopping for vegetables and preparing meals with Jiang Min.

Father Jiang is always smiling. The life of retirement makes him feel comfortable and comfortable, and he also looks relaxed and fat, much calmer than when he was still a professor.

However, Qiao Ran had a vague feeling that her mother's attitude towards her seemed a little more distant than before.

However, since her affairs have not been exposed, why is there such a distance?Qiao Ran couldn't think of a reason, he could only think that he was thinking too much.

However, because of this indistinct feeling, Qiao Ran missed Mu Zixin even more.

Although Qiao Ran didn't say it clearly, Mu Zixin was keenly aware that Qiao Ran's emotions were not as bright as she expected just from the messages they exchanged each other before going to bed every day.

So she told Qiao Ran some interesting things that happened to Yuan Mingyue and the others in the process of facing each new year that was bound to be extremely complicated. For such a family, Chinese New Year is not just about reunion and visiting relatives.

Even though she only learned about a small part of the complication through Mu Zixin, Qiao Ran could already imagine how busy Mu Zixin would be in the days before and after the Chinese New Year.

"Of course, in these few years, have you met a boy you like?" After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat in front of the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala. While waiting, Mother Jiang went to the kitchen to cut some fruit and brought it out. Ask Qiao Ran.

Jiang Min suddenly raised her head to look at her mother, but this behavior made Jiang's mother frown, and she glanced at Jiang Min without any trace.

Qiao Ran, who was caught off guard by the question, just shook his head, waiting for his mother's next question.

Jiang's mother went to Qiao Ran's side and held her hand: "Mom is also worried about your future life. If we ask someone to introduce you, I'm afraid the other party's conditions will not be good. If you can meet like-minded good people in school, You have to learn to hold onto it."

After all, Qiao Ran's deafness is really there. If a blind date is introduced, I am afraid that the initial conditions can only be exchanged for people with almost the same conditions. Because of this, although Jiang's mother is looking forward to Qiao Ran's love and marriage, she has never Urging her to go on a blind date.

Qiao Ran nodded.

Jiang Min kept looking at Qiao Ran, which made Jiang's father sigh secretly, but Jiang's mother didn't even look at her own daughter.

Mother Jiang only looked at Qiao Ran.

[Mom, if I meet someone who I like and also likes me, I will catch it. ] Qiao Ran looked at Mother Jiang seriously and said.

This is what Qiao Ran can say. Jiang's mother understood this, and patted the back of Qiao Ran's hand in relief to comfort her.

"After all, we women still need someone to rely on in the days to come." Mother Jiang said with a sigh, as if she was towards Qiao Ran and Jiang Min.

Qiao Ran nodded with a smile: [Yes, as long as it is a reliable person. ]

Seeing that Qiao Ran really wanted to find a partner to live with, Jiang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the TV when she glanced at her own daughter.

Jiang Min didn't say a word, his eyes only fell on the Spring Festival Gala that had just started, and he silently expressed his persistence as if he didn't hear it.

For a while, the lively sound of the Spring Festival Evening sounded in the room, but there were no laughing and commenting on the show, and there were no warm scenes of greeting each other to eat snacks and fruits.

In Qiao Ran's eyes, his parents and sister seemed to be performing a mime show, watching the TV without moving, and no movement meant that there was no scene with sound in his mind. The hiding of adoptive parents, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Holding the phone in his hand, Qiao Ran began to think about what Mu Zixin was doing now?Are you wearing a beautiful dress and long skirt and shuttling through such a gorgeous dinner party?Or do you have to face all kinds of "pro" people in the big family of the Mu family who have different thoughts about the sisters of the Mu family?

Qiao Ran wanted to send a message, but was worried that he would affect Mu Zixin's busy New Year's Eve dinner.

Just then, the phone vibrated.

Qiao Ran lowered her head and opened the phone, her eyes widened in surprise.

[Qiao Ran, city B is so cold! ] The content of the text message made Qiao Ran unable to believe his eyes.

A second message quickly appeared on the screen.

[Qiao Ran, let's watch the fireworks together, okay? ]

Qiao Ran stood up.

The other three people who were startled looked at Qiao Ran, wondering why she stood up suddenly.

[Parents, sister, I want to watch the fireworks. ] Qiao Ran said in sign language.

Every New Year's Eve in City B, the government will prepare a wonderful fireworks feast.

However, Qiao Ran is not familiar with this place, so Jiang's father and Jiang's mother would not agree to let her go to watch the fireworks alone.

Looking at the phone in Qiao Ran's hand, Jiang Min understood, and stood up too: "Dad, Mom, let me take Ranran to watch the fireworks."

Mother Jiang's first reaction was to object.

However, Father Jiang, who had been silent all this time, spoke first.

"Go, be careful on the road and come back early."

"Okay." Jiang Min nodded, helped Qiao Ran get the scarf and gloves, and quickly left the house with Qiao Ran.

It wasn't until she saw the door closed that Jiang's mother frowned and looked at her husband: "Old Jiang, why do you agree with them to watch the fireworks?"

Papa Jiang shook his head: "Of course I can't hear you. It's boring to watch the Spring Festival Gala with us, and look, they were quite happy when they first came back for two days. Why did you suddenly say that to Ranran just now?"

"I'm not thinking that if Ranran gets married, maybe Xiao Min can come back normally." Jiang's mother also had a bitter look on her face, "Old Jiang, sometimes, I even think that if Ranran was not adopted at the beginning, little Will Min always be normal?"

"What are you thinking, haven't we seen all those things, but he is the most innocent person here." Papa Jiang said disapprovingly.

When Jiang Min told them that he liked women and Qiao Ran, they thought it was a bolt from the blue.

As university professors, it's not that they haven't heard of such people, but they still find it hard to accept that it happened to their daughter.

But Jiang Min has been strong-minded since she was a child, and they couldn't find any way to make her dispel this idea, and the information they secretly searched later told them that this was not a disease, but an objective existence like left-handedness.

It was impossible for them to do some forced things to reverse their daughter's sexual orientation, so they could only take a step back and ask their daughter to stay away from Qiao Ran, so the family came to City B.

During the few years in City B, Jiang Min did not find any other women, which made Jiang's mother feel somewhat lucky in her heart.

Maybe the daughter just thought she was gay because she couldn't figure out her feelings for Ranran?

Intellectually, Mother Jiang also knew that this was just self-comfort.She knew that she should not be angry with Qiao Ran because of this, and felt that it was Qiao Ran's appearance that turned her daughter bad.

However, there is a strong conflict between reason and emotion, what can mother Jiang do?

"I just hope that both daughters will be well, but Lao Jiang, how do you make me believe that in such an environment, my daughter can live a good life with a woman?" Mother Jiang sighed.

Father Jiang was silent for a long time before saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Neither Jiang Min nor Qiao Ran knew about all this.

They just left the house, went downstairs, and saw Er Miss Mu standing in the snow rubbing her hands.

Seeing the two of them coming down, Mu Zixin's eyes lit up, she didn't care about her cold hands, and waved with a smile: "Qiao Ran, I'm here to see you for the New Year~" She decided to run out in the morning of.

Before she had time to consider how much thick clothes would be needed to withstand the temperature in City B, Mu Zixin bought a plane ticket and flew all the way in her usual clothes.

Fortunately, the flight on the evening of New Year's Eve was very empty, so Mu Zixin wouldn't give up his urge to run because he couldn't get a ticket.

Seeing Mu Zixin, Qiao Ran ran over and hugged the person in front of him.

Mu Zixin was a little surprised, caught Qiao Ran and stretched out her arms to hug her, looking over Qiao Ran's shoulders to Jiang Min who was behind.

Jiang Min smiled at them, gestured in one direction and turned away, leaving the two hugging tightly in the snow.

Mu Zixin softened her eyes and patted Qiao Ran's back lightly.

It wasn't until Qiao Ran let go of his hand and stepped back to look at Mu Zixin that Mu Zixin smiled and said, "Qiao Ran, do you want to continue hugging me, or go to watch the fireworks?"
