fall in love in winter

Dong Yin went back to the upstairs room and began to pack her things. When she came, she only wore a set of clothes, and all she brought were presents. It cost thirteen thousand, her monthly salary.

She put it in a bag, and when the door opened, she glanced at Mr. Xie, as if she was about to bow, but she stood up straight.

The mist in her eyes turned into tears. She held back the tears and let them accumulate in her eyes. She carried her things and walked outside.

The biting cold wind blows head-on, her nose is almost frozen off, Dong Yin keeps walking, the last time she came by Xie Mingjun's car, she didn't know where to go, her leather boots stepped on the fluffy road.

Don't look at how many people came to Xie's house today, but there are not many footprints to be seen on the snow.

In the luxurious villa, well-dressed, graceful and luxurious people were blowing on the heater. After hearing her words, I was shocked, but my face was still calm.

"Nonsense! She's talking nonsense. How could she be born to me? Yuxi's father and I are married for the first time! He knows what kind of person I am, and she just opens her mouth to talk nonsense." Mama Zou's tears and snot all fell down. , crying miserably, compared to the fake crying just now, this time the crying is much more genuine.

After all, she was still afraid in her heart. Dongyin cried so sincerely, and she told a lie so fucking carefully. Now she may not be able to explain the matter clearly just by crying.

Zou's father was also at a loss, to be honest, seeing Dongyin crying so vividly, he wondered for a moment whether his wife had cheated on her. In his early years, he was an insurance seller, and Zou's mother didn't like everything about him.

They are clear about the matter of the couple, but they will definitely not say it now, and they still have to put on a show in front of others.

Zou's father defended Zou's mother very much, and said: "Old Xie, what's the matter with your child? I have a serious and free relationship with Yuxi's mother. I know what Yuxi's mother is like best. How could Dongyin belong to her child? Brother and sister, isn’t this nonsense! It’s unheard of! I know this kid is your guest, so am I not your brother and friend? You’re hitting me in the face with the sole of your shoe!”

Zou's mother had a husband to call the shots, she stopped sobbing, and immediately spoke a few degrees of arrogance, "We are here to have a New Year's Eve dinner, not to suffer, this is too insulting! That girl is too vicious, It’s not a good thing at first glance, what are the little girls doing now, talking nonsense just to get into the rich man’s house? The character is too low, if it weren’t for the good relationship between my husband and wife, the family would be broken up.”

When you don't know the real facts, whoever has the loudest voice and who speaks is reasonable, everyone's thoughts will follow him.

"Now the little girl is indeed a bit powerful. I almost lost my mind. I think Dongyin is in the same grade as Yuxi, and the age difference is not a few months. How could they be brothers and sisters? Isn't this nonsense? This little girl The girl is too vicious!"

"Don't say that, Yuxi seems to have stayed a level, just one year older than Dongyin... No, why does this logic match again."

"Don't tell me, I just want to enter a wealthy family. I understand these little girls too well. Their three views have been distorted. They just like money, and they don't want anything for money."

Anyway, as long as Mr. Xie responds and confirms that Dongyin's character is poor, she is a gold digger, and her character is dirty, Mama Zou will be fine.Zou's mother took the tissue and cried, "If she insists that I am her mother, that's fine. We will go through the legal process, and we will not be afraid of the shadow. If she is my daughter, I will go to jail. If she framed me, I will absolutely Will not let her go."

Now that she has become a victim, she has to sell herself miserably, "Old Xie, you have been friends with Yuxi's father for so many years, you know who I am."

The pressure was all on Mr. Xie's side. Mr. Xie, as the master, was trapped to death by this back and forth. He is not a doctor, so how would he know if Dong Yin is the child of his husband and wife.

After getting along for a few days, Dongyin behaved very well, with a docile temperament and a simple mind. It was also what she said just now, which made people realize that she was quite eloquent.

It's just that the people in this room...

Just as Mr. Xie was about to speak, his aunt ran in from outside.

Aunt Lin said: "Sir, Mr. Ming is back, and the car has already entered the garage."

Mr. Xie was taken aback, and turned his head to look over. After that, his emotions became obvious, and his expression became serious for a moment. He looked at Auntie and said, "Just now I asked you to find Dongyin, did you find him?"

"...Looking for someone?" Auntie was slightly stunned, no one said anything at all, when Dong Yin ran out, she was watching from the side, there were so many people in the room and no one was there to pull her, she was embarrassed to persuade, That child Dongyin has been away for so long, no one even asked to look for her.

But Mr. Xie's expression was very bad, with a solemn face, Aunt Lin quickly nodded, "I'll look for it again, I'll ask Alian and the others to look for it together, sir, don't worry, she just ran out, she should be still in the community inside."

Zou's mother's tears stopped, she wiped the tears from her face, just took the tissue from the guest next to her, and heard Mr. Xie say: "Where is Dong Yin, this child has been with me for a few days, and his character is still good. You have a good temper, I don't know what happened to this matter today, after all, it's your family's private matter, it's not good for me to interfere..."

Mr. Xie, who was still neutral just now, suddenly stood by Dong Yin's side, stunned everyone, especially Zou's mother and Zou's father, they were stunned.

Zou's father asked: "Old Xie, what do you mean? Are you standing on Dongyin's side? That is what my husband and wife did wrong?"

At this time, Xie Mingjun came in from the outside, perhaps because of the cold wind blowing outside, she was wrapped in a chill.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Xie Mingjun's hair had a few flakes of ice and snow. When the warm heat in the room quickly condensed into water droplets, she took off her fluffy gloves and said, "I've already taken them for you." Alright, ready to eat."

She breathed out, put her palm on her frozen cheek, rubbed it down and looked at Mr. Xie, only to hear Mr. Xie say angrily: "Old Zou, we have been friends for many years, what should I do to you? Clear. You don’t need to argue with a child. I don’t know the specific situation. The child stays in my house very well. How can I believe it when it’s done like that?”

Father Zou turned pale with anger, "Thank you, what do you mean? Are you falling out with me because of a child? You..."

"Okay, don't tell me, you just didn't care about this matter anyway. Today is my family's New Year's Eve dinner, and you made everyone unhappy. I just want to get the child back quickly. Don't talk about brotherhood with me, I'm not a hooligan. There are three members of your family, each of whom is an adult, and it's a joke to care about a child. "

Xie Mingjun stopped moving, glanced at the people around, she walked over, expressionless, soon she bit her lower lip, and asked angrily: "Who ran away? Why are you looking for a child? "

When she opened her mouth, no one dared to speak.

After all, Dong Yin is her friend, and everyone is bullying her friend.

"I'm asking, who ran away?" Xie Mingjun raised his voice and glanced at her father.

No one answered, and Mama Zou's sniffling stopped.

Zou Yuxi boldly said, "You can't blame Uncle Xie for this matter, there is a misunderstanding."

"What's the misunderstanding? I just turned around, and your family ran over and chased my people away. What did you tell me about the misunderstanding? Where was the misunderstanding?" Xie Mingjun exhaled, "Who the hell is this?" Family, your family is showing off your power, and you were invited in because of your face, if you don't want to stay here, get out!"

The words made the Zou family dare not let go, only Zou Yuxi said dryly: "Uncle has already been found, don't worry." He tried to appease Xie Mingjun and please Xie Mingjun.

Xie Mingjun, however, picked up the wine on the table, which was exactly what Mr. Xie and Dad Zou hadn't finished drinking together, and she poured it on Zou Yuxi, "Did I embarrass you? Did I not understand enough? "

"Master Ming..."

"You even called your parents to bully Dongyin!" The wine bottle she picked up almost fell on Zou Yuxi, but was blocked by Zou's father.

Zou's father immediately said: "Mr. Ming, no one bullies that Dong Yin here, she is talking nonsense."

"Nonsense? You tell me her nonsense?"

How could Dad Zou have the nerve to say so.

Xie Mingjun pointed at the door, "Get lost!"

"What did you say?" Zou's father looked at Xie Mingjun in disbelief. He is Xie Mingjun's elder and the Xie family's benefactor.

"Get out or not?" Xie Mingjun picked up something and threw it at them as he said, the scene was in chaos.

"Old Xie! Is this your Mingjun's attitude?" Zou's father and Zou's mother were all angry, and they all looked at Mr. Xie.

"Get out!" Xie Mingjun pointed at his nose, still not showing face.

Mr. Xie didn't stop him, but said: "Old Zou's matter, you are indeed going too far. You go back first, and I will talk to Mr. Ming first. The Dongyin man hasn't come back yet. I have to find him. I really don't have the energy Talk to you."

The Zou family was driven away without face, and they didn't even explain clearly whether Zou's mother was Dong Yin's real mother.The other guests were at a loss, and they were still at a loss. After Dong Yin said that, the matter was out of control, and they couldn't get in the way.

Just thinking about it now.

Was Dong Yin born to Mother Zou?

Now the dining table is in a mess, with wine spilled all over it, and the smell of alcohol is overwhelming. I am afraid that the New Year's Eve dinner will not be able to continue.

Mr. Xie arranged for someone to see the guests off, and the servants hurriedly cleaned up the house. Mr. Xie stood at the door for a while, looking at Mr. Xie Mingjun, trying to say something to her.

Xie Mingjun was calling Dongyin, but the phone couldn't get through. It was to remind her that the user had turned off the phone. She walked back and forth in the living room, turned to see Mr. Xie, and asked, "Where is he?"

"Don't worry, Dongyin should be nearby. Aunt Lin and the others are looking for it, and they will be back soon." Mr. Xie sighed twice, and was about to say a few words about her attitude today.

But Xie Mingjun didn't listen, she just said: "As long as you tell her 'Xie Mingjun will be back later' she won't leave. Did you say that? Did you keep it?"

Xie Mingjun knows Dongyin too well, she will never take the initiative to cause trouble, but if... if someone bullies her and makes her sad, she will run fast.

Mr. Xie was speechless. After waiting for a few seconds, he said, "Dad did something wrong. There were so many people in the living room and your Uncle Zou's aggressive tone. I didn't realize it for a while..."

"Don't talk about this to me, I'll just ask you a question, did you deliberately distract me?"

Mr. Xie looked into Xie Mingjun's eyes with hatred in his eyes. As long as he said yes, the father-daughter relationship with Xie Mingjun was over. He said with a serious face, "Mingjun, are you Do you miss Dad that much? Am I so stupid that I sent you away just to target Dong Yin? No matter how stupid I am, I will never be so stupid!"

"Yes, I was wrong at the time. I thought Dongyin was just going out for a couple of laps. When you came back, she would come back with you."

He really didn't lie, he wouldn't say that he sent Xie Mingjun away and dealt with Dong Yin after Xie Mingjun left, this method is too stupid.

Speaking of this, he thought of Zou Yuxi's family, why are they so stupid today?This approach is not as good as scolding by a shrew.

But if you think about it deeply, you can't say they are stupid. If Mother Zou succeeds in framing Dongyin in the first place, he won't be able to stand on Dongyin's side. Dongyin is the target of everyone's criticism. She will definitely suffer. Dong Yin spoke.

Dong Yin's retaliation was really wonderful, she said all the nonsense logically.

When Mr. Xie Mingjun praised her before, Mr. Xie didn't take it seriously, but now he has to admit that a schoolmaster is a schoolmaster with a good brain.

Mr. Xie came back to his senses, and said slowly: "Mr. Ming, I know you are angry, don't worry, I have already sent someone to look for it..." He breathed out angrily, "A good New Year's Eve dinner was taken by them It's been such a fucking treat for them all these years."

It was the first time that Mr. Xie swears, and he looked angry, so he went out to call the person who was looking for Dong Yin, and asked if he had found Dong Yin.

His tone sounded grumpy.

But people just can’t be found, and they have never been found.

Xie Mingjun couldn't wait, she went out to look for it by herself. She went to the school to look for it, but there was no one in the school. If you don't go, there is no one in their little home.

Even though it's such a big city, Dongyin ran and hid, she didn't have a clue.

I have been looking for the early morning, but I still haven't seen Dong Yin's figure. She seems to have merged into the city and turned into ice and snow. Xie Mingjun thinks that she is everywhere, but every time I look for her, there is no one.

She was so distraught after looking for it.

Everyone is wondering, what about people?

Mr. Xie said that he would contact a few friends to ask about it.

Xie Mingjun was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She was holding her mobile phone, not knowing what she was thinking. Suddenly, she looked at Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie was like a needle in his back, he didn't turn around.

Xie Mingjun said coolly: "You didn't expect her to have self-esteem, did you? You thought she didn't run too far, and you thought she would come back. After all, I'm here and our family is rich. How high are you? .”

Mr. Xie Mingjun's words were ugly, and the room was empty, so it seemed that she didn't want to save face for Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie was faintly angry and hung up the phone. He maintained a fatherly demeanor and said, "Mr. Ming, I will apologize to Dongyin about this matter, so..."

"Apologize?" Xie Mingjun sneered, "Is an apology such a big deal? Go and pull the Zou family over. I'll slap each of them, and then I'll kneel down and apologize to them."

The water glass in Mr. Xie's hand fell directly to the ground, "You are still lawless, right? Then what do you want? I have a falling out with you Uncle Zou on this matter, and we have made trouble. I will look for him too. It is me Did you let her run out? You offended all the guests in the room, have I ever scolded you?"

Xie Mingjun kicked away the teacup on the ground, "When the Zou family finds fault, you should stop them, and you should tell them that Dongyin is our guest! Can't you do this? If you can't, you can do it What kind of business, aren't you exquisite, modest and polite? What are you pretending to be!"

Mr. Xie raised his hand, pointed at her face, and clenched his fists on the table again. The father and daughter fought for the first time in many years.

"Yes, it's my fault. You talk to me in this tone. Well, I taught you well. You really don't take my father seriously."

Xie Mingjun sneered.

"Mr. Ming, you can be so arrogant because you know that I love you. What happened today is because I did something wrong, but I am already making up for it."

Mr. Xie was very angry, trying to maintain his emotions, he breathed heavily, "Yes, Dad shouldn't have invited the Zou family over, but Mr. Ming, you brought Dong Yin here even though you knew I would call them over, it's not your responsibility Should you bear it yourself? Have you made all the plans? You should not be a child now, the choice made by an adult, no matter what the result is, you have to bear it yourself."

Xie Mingjun bit his red lips, as if he was defeated, and he couldn't beat him.

She sat back on the sofa, her eyes were red, she looked at Mr. Xie, her voice was hoarse, "Yes, I didn't expect the consequences, because I wanted you to accept her, because you are my father, if you are not my father, I care about you Accept it or not, I don't care if you like it or not?"

The sound of the two quarreling alarmed the rest of the family. Aunt Lin came up to thank Mingjun, gave Uncle Wu a look, and asked him to persuade Mr. Xie.

Uncle Wu said: "The most urgent thing now is to find Dong Yin, let's not think about anything else, Mr. Ming, you should think about where Dong Yin will go, she is really not safe outside as a girl."

It was really strange that the guests gathered at home for a while, and within half an hour, or even within 10 minutes, the Dongyin people disappeared.

Aunt Lin said: "...Actually, I saw Dongyin running out of the hall, carrying her things and crying while running. Just now I heard from the neighbor next door that Dongyin went the wrong way and ran near her house. The Tibetan mastiff was startled, fell down and got up and continued to run."

It must be distressing to see it. At that time, Mr. Xie didn't say anything, and Aunt Lin didn't dare to go up to pull it. She sighed, "Now it's a holiday, and it's hard to get a taxi, but if anything happens, why don't you call the police? Could it be that the police will be called after 24 hours. By the way, does Dong Yin have any friends? Did she go to live at a friend's house?"

Xie Mingjun knew in his heart that Dongyin would definitely not call Chu Ning'an and the others, let alone tell them what happened, but there was no way, she really never thought that Dongyin would go so far that she could not find her.

She thought that Dongyin would wait for her to come back and sue her, and act as a cute little green tea, waiting for her to drive the Zou family away and embarrass the Zou family.

Who knew Dong Yin would really leave.

On New Year's Eve, the city was turned over for another day, but there was still no information.

When the phone was connected, Chu Ning'an said with a smile: "What's the matter, do you want to give out red envelopes in advance? Tell uncle, I want two this year!"

"Have you contacted Dong Yin today?" Xie Mingjun waited for several seconds before he dared to speak, but he couldn't speak at all, she ran a few places, her voice was already hoarse, Chu Ning'an didn't hear it the first time.

"No, what's the matter? Isn't Dongyin with you?" Chu Ning'an was puzzled, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Xie Mingjun was having a hard time opening her mouth, what did she say, that she turned around and her guests drove Dong Yin away?

In the past when others bullied Dongyin, she could be filled with righteous indignation, but now it's her turn, she is just... ashamed, speechless, resentful...

Chu Ning'an came out by herself, and asked softly, "Did you two quarrel? Did Dong Yin run away?"

"no……"

Chu Ning'an let out a sigh, it was rare for her to be smart for a while, and she didn't ask further, "Then I know."

The Chu family was making dumplings, and her grandparents also took them. The family enjoyed themselves happily. When Chu Ning'an was running outside, her parents kept yelling and asking her where she was going.

Chu Ning'an said: "I'll go find Lu Hanqiu, come back later, you guys do it first."

Lu Hanqiu's house was relatively quiet. Her parents were both teachers. Chu Ning'an stood at the door and called, "Lu Hanqiu, Lu Hanqiu, are you busy? Come out if you don't mind, there is something urgent."

"Han Qiu is talking to her father, wait a moment." Lu's mother said.

After waiting for more than ten minutes for Lu Hanqiu to come out, the two of them changed their clothes and went out to help find someone. Lu Hanqiu borrowed her father's car, and it was stuck in a traffic jam just after leaving the street.

"Have you found the train station and the airport?"

"I found it. My dad has already sent someone there." Xie Mingjun said in a hoarse voice, "I have been guarding there all night, and I also asked someone to check the nearest train, but the bus to her hometown hasn't left yet."

"What about the hotel?"

Xie Mingjun said: "The hotel is more troublesome, I'm still looking for it, if I can't find it, I will call the police."

"It shouldn't be." Chu Ning'an said, "It stands to reason that Dongyin said before that she would go back very late every year during Chinese New Year... I remembered, did she go to take the bus?"

"What bus?" Xie Mingjun paused, remembered something, and said, "I'll go right away, you guys go back first, and if you can't find me, go find you."

After talking on the phone, Chu Ning'an dared to say: "I think... Dong Yin's doing this is quite right."

Lu Hanqiu looked at her from the rearview mirror, "You know again?"

"I think it's good to be so tough for a while. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, I think it's good, so I should be angry." Chu Ning'an said, "This time it shouldn't be thank you for arguing with Dong Yin, young couples won't make trouble when they quarrel She's so big, and Dongyin has such a temper, she won't be angry if she hums twice, it must be something happened at Xie's house."

"The last time we went to her house, I could see that she was very angry and wanted us to leave, but she endured it, but she was still not willing to drive us away. This time she must have met her back, that's why she ran away."

The car of the two of them was stuck in the car. Today's rush hour, rushing back home, rushing home, everyone has to find their place of belonging before the New Year.

·

Xie Mingjun found Dongyin.

The bus station was full of people, and it was blocked all the way to the overpass, and the car couldn't drive through at all, but Xie Mingjun just felt that Dongyin was here.

It's just that the crowd separated the distance. She stood outside for two hours before going in. She found Dong Yin according to the number on the ticket.

There were too many people waiting to go back, one after another, there was no place to sit, so Dong Yin sat on the ground with her back to her.

She went to Dongyin's side and squatted down. Dongyin didn't move, and she didn't move either. After a while, a drop or two of water fell on the cold marble floor.

Xie Mingjun moved her lips and was about to speak, but Dongyin said softly: "I didn't play tricks with anyone, nor did I think of making trouble for no reason, I just felt sad and didn't want to stay there."

"I know." Xie Mingjun's voice was hoarse, "Sorry, I'm late, Dongyin, I'm sorry."

Dong Yin opened her palm, and there was a train ticket lying in the palm prints, she said: "My train ticket has expired, and I have to leave last night, but I want to wait a little longer, I think you will definitely find me."

"I'm sorry." Xie Mingjun's eyes were sore.

She knew that Dongyin was so independent, she was so strong, if Dongyin really ran away, she really couldn't find Dongyin.

"Why... did you come here?" Dong Yin's face was wet, she reached out to wipe her face.

Apologizing is the most useless thing, Dongyin can run so fast, one can imagine how unbearable what happened during the few hours she walked.

It wasn't being surrounded by some square dancing aunts, it wasn't that she was sad today and forgotten tomorrow, but she was looked down upon by many rich and powerful people.

She is digging out her own dignity and cutting out her wounds.Ravage, this is the only way to win the round.

"Xie Mingjun." Dongyin looked at her, tears fell directly, the three words seemed to open the valve, crying until tears fell, and her hazy eyes couldn't see anything clearly.

Xie Mingjun's heart ached, she felt uncomfortable, a thorn stuck in her throat, she was very annoyed by others bullying Dongyin, she wished she could slap her, but she didn't expect it was someone around her who bullied her this time.

Saying that her father just watched with cold eyes and didn't know the development of the matter was completely justifying him.There are only two ways to say about the matter: participation and ignorance. Her father's choice to keep silent and keep a cold eye on the sidelines is participation, and he is even one of the main participants.

There is really no need to excuse.

She is very clear about her father's virtues.

Xie Mingjun had a sore eye and a sore throat, she went to carry Dongyin's bag, when Dongyin stood up, she stretched out her hand to hug Dongyin, Dongyin's body was cold, Xie Mingjun hugged her tightly, and the voice came to her ears ,"please forgive me?"

Dong Yin didn't speak.

When Xie Mingjun found Dongyin, she said sorry several times, but Dongyin didn't reply, she was quiet, she pressed her lips tightly.

Leaving the crowded station, they took a long detour, Xie Mingjun went to find his car, fastened Dong Yin's seat belt, and drove back.

Dong Yin pinched the lace of her sleeves, looked at the traffic jam ahead, Xie Mingjun put her hands on the steering wheel, Dong Yin called her, she turned her head and didn't look back, looking gloomy and cold, she seemed unable to control her expression Usually, "Huh?" He lowered his voice again, "What's wrong?"

Dong Yin was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Did you quarrel with your father?"

Xie Mingjun said: "We should quarrel or have to quarrel."

"Don't quarrel with your father, it was Zou Yuxi's parents who provoked me, not your father, and I kept talking nonsense at the time, and I cursed people, your father must not be able to help me, and the Zou family is still your benefactor... ..."

Xie Mingjun clapped his palm on the car horn, and there were many beeps, Dongyin's words were interrupted, the road ahead was smooth, Xie Mingjun turned the steering wheel, and said, "I brought you there. Man, if the person he invited bullies you, he is responsible, whether he is right or wrong, he is wrong."

Dongyin drooped her eyes and hummed.

When the car drove out and arrived at their small home, Mr. Xie's car was already waiting downstairs. As soon as Xie Mingjun's car arrived downstairs, Mr. Xie got out of the car immediately, and Xie Mingjun's car went around him. The garage is open.

Mr. Xie got into the car again and asked Uncle Wu to follow. Xie Mingjun parked the car and brought Dong Yin out of the car. Mr. Xie hurried over to stop the two of them. He looked at Dong Yin and apologized earnestly.

"Dong Yin, it was uncle who was wrong about what happened yesterday. Uncle apologized to you here. Uncle should have stood by your side and defended you." Mr. Xie's attitude was Chen Ken, and he was very annoyed, and others were emaciated. He was still dressed in the same outfit as yesterday.

He said again: "I'm really sorry, what uncle did was really wrong."

Dong Yin pursed her lips, held Xie Mingjun's hand tightly, opened her lips a few times, wanted to speak but couldn't, and went back and forth several times.

"I'll take you back first." Xie Mingjun said.

"It's okay." Dongyin stood still, bit her lower lip and said, "I'm not angry anymore."

Just a few words, and then look up at Mr. Xie after finishing speaking.

She doesn't tell Xie Mingjun that she has "wrongs" like she did in the car. Once she takes the mistakes to herself, it will reduce the guilt of those who made mistakes, and make them feel at ease when they made mistakes.

Dong Yin just said: "Zou Yuxi and the others are at fault. I know that Mr. Xie has difficulties."

What's the problem? At the beginning, the Zou family was kind to the Xie family and saved the Xie family from the fire and water. Hearing the words made his ears callous, and he was so tired of it.

Mr. Xie sighed, looked at Dongyin with guilt, and said, "Even if their family is kind, they can't take you under the knife. If they are wrong, they are wrong. They let you go outside these two days... Sigh, the people from the Zou family have already Let Mr. Ming drive away, do you still want to go to your uncle's house for the New Year?"

Gentle and gentle, asking her sincerely, Dongyin squeezed Xie Mingjun's fingers again, and said, "I want to go, but I'm afraid."

"What's there to be afraid of? My family won't entertain other guests this year, especially people from the Zou family!" Mr. Xie said angrily.

Dong Yin shook her head again and again, "You don't need that kind of uncle, you can just follow the previous arrangement and treat me as a guest."

"That's impossible." Mr. Xie went to open the car door himself, and let the two of them get in. Mr. Xie's car was big enough to lower the seat, and he could rest for a while. Mr. Xie took the co-driver, and Uncle Wu drove.

Mr. Xie also searched for it all night. He got in the car, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "You two will have a good rest when you get home. It's New Year's Eve today. We'll have dinner together when you wake up?"

Dong Yin nodded, Xie Mingjun didn't speak, and he didn't look at Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie looked at her with dim eyes several times, always looking helpless.

When returning to the villa, the traffic flow was smoother, maybe the travelers had all arrived home, and the car would not be running around at night.

The city is brightly lit, the neon lights of high-rise buildings act as stars in the sky, and the twinkling fireworks are thumping at night.

It's New Year's Eve, the last day of this year.

The car entered the villa area, it was much quieter than outside, it looked very cold, Dong Yin got out of the car, and saw Louis XVI at a glance - the snowman she made yesterday.Looking at it under the light, it is not as cute as in the daytime, as if it was left alone in the yard.

It's just a snowman, how can it come into the house and celebrate the festival with everyone?

Dongyin picked up a storybook when she was a child, the cover of the book was torn, she couldn’t read the title, but she remembered that the main character was a snowman, who fell in love with a stove, couldn’t help it, and looked forward to the stove to look at it every day, and finally The stove was in love with it, they were madly in love, but no one supported their love.

People clamored for it to roll away so as not to wet its expensive carpets. The seasons reminded it that it was just a snowman, and it would disappear after winter. The snowman insisted on his love and worked hard to get closer to the stove. , and finally it melted before winter came.

At that time, Dongyin didn't understand the core of the story, and she was very sad to read it. She took a pen and cut out a page, and continued to write the story later, pretending that they went to heaven and fell in love.

She told everyone that the snowman and the stove were together.

Others said, "What stove and snowman? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Dong Yin looked away, and Mr. Xie asked her with a smile, "Aunt Lin said that you named the snowman, and you plan to tell me about it. What's its name?"

Dong Yin smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot."

"It's okay, take another one."

Entering the house, the inside is warm and harmonious. The giant screen in the living room is playing the Spring Festival Gala, singing folk songs, laughing and joking.

Mr. Xie asked, "Do you eat first, or rest first?"

Xie Mingjun spoke up, "Rest first."

When she got upstairs, she called Aunt Lin, "Just make some dumplings."

Aunt Lin spoke up and tried her best to cheer up, "Okay, I'll put some coins in it to make me happy."

Xie Mingjun hummed, went back to the house, and dragged Dong Yin into the house again.

Aunt Lin went to comfort Mr. Xie, offered him a cup of tea, and said, "Drink some water, sir, and go to rest later. Now that someone finds you, Mr. Ming won't be really angry with you. Father and daughter have no overnight feud." , I will make a reunion dinner tomorrow, and the whole family will eat it well."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Not only Xie Mingjun was tired, but Mr. Xie was also exhausted. He glanced at his phone, pressed the screen hard, and hung up the call. A small matter had to be so big that it caused trouble for his family during the Chinese New Year. It's really embarrassing for the Zou family to live in uneasy life.

His face was cold and his face was gloomy.

At night, it looked particularly permeable.

Upstairs, Dongyin took a bath, she crawled into the quilt, no one slept in the quilt all day and night, it was no different from an ice cave, she curled up in the quilt with her arms folded.

Xie Mingjun was taking a bath, she wanted to wait for Xie Mingjun, but she was too sleepy and fell asleep with her eyes closed.She didn't tell Xie Mingjun, she ran and found that she couldn't get a taxi, so she kept walking along the map, and she walked for a long time before seeing a bus, because the bus didn't go directly, she got down again and continued walking , I didn't arrive at the station until dark.

The feet were sore and the boots were dirty.

Falling asleep deeply, having messy dreams, opened her eyes and saw Xie Mingjun sitting on the chair next to the desk, she was still awake, didn't do anything, didn't know what she was thinking, and was very quiet.

Dong Yin didn't know what time it was, she went to touch the phone, but she couldn't find it, she went to see Xie Mingjun again, and found the phone was on the table.

The curtains were opened about the width of a thumb, and there was no moonlight coming in. It was pitch black outside. It didn't seem like the arrival of the New Year, nor like it was still on New Year's Eve. The night was quiet and faint.

Dong Yin got off the bed, Xie Mingjun asked her: "Where are you going?"

Her voice was dull, not fierce, as if she was out of strength, astringent, Dongyin took the bag of clothes, and took out the backpack from inside.

Xie Mingjun came over and looked at her.Dongyin climbed onto the bed again, sleeping on her side, with her head pressed against the pillow, her fingers tucked into the quilt and clenched tightly.

"Thank you Mingjun." She called softly and shivered.

"Ok?"

Xie Mingjun didn't sleep all night, her eyes were red.

Dong Yin pursed her lips, and took her hand out from under the quilt. She took a box, pushed it to the bedside little by little, and said, "New Year's gift."

Xie Mingjun sat on the edge of the bed, Dongyin continued to push, and pushed it to her hand, rubbing the skin on the back of her hand, intending to let Xie Mingjun hold it.

Xie Mingjun swallowed, and the breath choked in her throat for a long time before falling out. As she opened the box, she said, "Do you still have money to buy this?"

Then she froze.

The red box, after opening, there are two rings lying inside, it is golden, different from today's aesthetics, it looks a bit rustic.

Dongyin said: "I can afford it. I bought this first, and I used the rest of the money to buy other gifts... You and I, and the ones with little fingers, do you think it looks good? The cabinet sister said that you can bring this to transfer, Said that if you don't like it, you can change it, and the size can be adjusted..."

Xie Mingjun pinched the golden ring, the small ring, with the coldness of winter, she fiddled with it again in the palm of her hand.

Dong Yin said again: "There are words engraved on it."

Xie Mingjun turned the ring and it read
