After My Ex-Boyfriend's White Moonlight Proposed to Me

New Year's Day.

The Xie family’s custom is that the younger generations take turns visiting the elders’ homes to pay New Year’s greetings. Mr. Xie’s seniority is higher, so he goes to his house first on the first day of the new year, and Xie Zun and Xie Jing take people to the next relative’s house to visit the next year’s New Year’s greetings on the second day of the new year.

It was early morning when Xie Ning was sent back by Zhuang Yan last night, no one disturbed him in the early morning, and he slept until almost noon today.

There were a lot of relatives and friends sitting in the living room, some of them looked familiar to Xie Ning, and some of them couldn't remember at all.

There were also a few children running up and down the stairs and playing wildly. Thanks to the sound insulation of the house in the compound, Xie Ning was able to sleep peacefully until now.

The men seemed to have all gone to the chess and card room, and the people in the living room were also in groups of twos and threes.

Xie An had a bitter face and was surrounded by a group of elders gossiping, from introducing girlfriends to arranging blind dates, at this moment a group of aunts and aunts had already started discussing the name of his future child with Su Jinyan.

Mr. Xie's reclining chair was moved to the side of the balcony, covered with a small blanket to bask in the winter sun.

He closed his eyes, and he didn't know if he was asleep or he was resting with his eyes closed.

Xie Ning walked over softly, wanting to say hello to Mr. Xie.

Just halfway there, Xia Wan stopped him: "Ning Ning."

Xia Wan and two or three wives who were about the same age were sitting at a small table on the balcony, when they saw Xie Ning coming out, they stretched out their hands to beckon him over.

"This child didn't wake up until now." Xia Wan pretended to complain, and then introduced, "Ningning, this is your Aunt Sun and Aunt Liu."

Xie Ning was always well-behaved in front of the elders, and after saying hello, Xia Wan pulled her to sit down on the small stool next to her.

Xia Wan smiled and said, "I heard that the art exhibition held in the art gallery a few years ago was very popular. Ningning, you are an art student. Have you ever been to it?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "I was too busy at that time, so I didn't go."

Xie Ning had heard about that art exhibition, and it was held on Christmas Eve. At that time, he happened to accept the poster draft of "Shan Hai Ji", so he didn't have time to go to see it.

"That's a pity." Xia Wan said, "Your Auntie Sun just went to see it, and said that the paintings on display that day were all very good. You like painting so much, you should go and see it."

Xie Ning smiled, not knowing how to respond.

He and Xia Wan have been indifferent for many years, and it has been a long time since they sat together and chatted in such a friendly manner.

The New Year's Eve was surrounded by elders, Xie Ning wanted to say a few words with them, smiled quietly, and passed.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wan went on to say: "Your Auntie Sun has also taken a fancy to a painting and wants to buy it. The painting is a girl. Auntie Sun said that she looks very temperamental. She is only two years younger than you. She is still an artist. Academy for advanced studies, this time I came to participate in the exhibition with my teacher."

The Mrs. Sun next to her immediately answered, "I'm not exaggerating. That little girl's temperament is not ordinary. At first glance, she can't be raised by ordinary people. Maybe this is the characteristic of your artists. I'll take a look at you today." , I feel that you have a different aura from others."

She praised Xie Ning so much, and Xia Wan's face became more joyful.

Only then did Xie Ning understand what Xia Wan was going to do, lowered his eyes, his expression became more and more condensed.

Xia Wan smiled and said, "Auntie Sun chatted with that little girl when she bought the painting, she said that she came from a scholarly family, and her conversation is good. Don't you also love painting, maybe you can have a common language with her."

Xie Ning didn't speak, and Mrs. Sun responded, "You are all young people, you should be able to chat together."

Xia Wan asked softly: "I heard from your Auntie Sun that she also likes this girl quite a bit. It just so happens that you should be free these two days, why don't you... meet her?"

Xie Ning pursed his lips, and when Xia Wan couldn't bear to make an appointment with Mrs. Sun, Xie Ning said coldly: "Mom."

Xia Wan froze when he called him that.

Xie Ning's voice was not heavy, and he said slowly: "I won't stop you if you want to see me. If you like it, I have no objection to finding someone as a daughter or something."

Xia Wan's expression suddenly turned ugly: "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean, you don't know?" Xie Ning laughed at himself, looked at her for a while before saying, "Go see her yourself, don't bring me along."

Xia Wan didn't bring it up in one breath.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mrs. Sun quickly smoothed things over: "Xie Ning doesn't want to, so forget it."

Xia Wan picked up the teacup and poured a mouthful of cold water down her throat, only then did her brain calm down a little.

She couldn't help but said: "It's a big Chinese New Year, can't you agree with me twice?"

Xie Jing looked at her quietly for a while, then sneered from the bottom of his heart.

He thought the same way before, after all, she was his biological mother, even if he had no feelings, he could still save face.

But Xia Wan's temperament is strong, and she is a pushover.

He didn't say a word today, Xia Wan made an appointment to meet.

If he met, Xia Wan would be able to invite the little girl to his home another day.

If he sees two more times, Xia Wan might even be ready for his wedding.

Some things he took a step back, that is, every step back.

In the past four years when he used Xu Qing as a shield, Xia Wan tried to make him "get on the right track".

Xie Ning didn't want to make trouble during the Chinese New Year, but he also didn't want to continue to play the role of a loving mother and a filial son here.

He stood up and said bluntly: "Whether you see it or not is a trivial matter...you know what's going on with me, and I don't mind letting others know."

Xia Wan was so angry that his hands shook: "You..."

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel here, Mr. Xie, who was lying on the other side of the balcony, suddenly said, "Ningning."

Mr. Xie was on the recliner, opened his eyes, and called Xie Ning over: "Come Ningning."

Mr. Xie didn't know if he just woke up, or he heard the movement from them, so he came to rescue him specially.

Xie Ning secretly let out a breath, walked to the old man's side, bent down and asked, "Grandpa?"

Mr. Xie sat up while holding his hand: "I want to lie down in the room for a while, Ningning helped me up."

After helping Mr. Xie to the master bedroom, Xie Ning saw that Mr. Xie didn't lie down, but looked at him with a smile, and knew that Mr. Xie had something to say to him.

Mr. Xie should have heard the argument between him and Xia Wan on the balcony just now.

Xie Ning sighed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie didn't mention what happened just now, and asked with a smile: "I heard from Xiao Zhong that you went out in the middle of the night last night?"

Xie Ning froze for a moment.

"Yeah," he said, "out with friends."

Mr. Xie squinted his eyes and said with relief: "It's good. You are too boring. You should make more friends. It's too stressful for young people like you to stay at home after Chinese New Year."

Patted his hand again and asked, "How was it? Did you have a good time last night?"

Xie Ning smiled and said softly, "Happy."

"It's good to be happy." Mr. Xie laughed twice, "Go out and play more when you are happy, and don't have to stay at home with me, an old man."

Xie Ning let out a soft breath: "Yes."

After chatting for a few words, Mr. Xie was a little tired, Xie Ning helped him to lie on the bed, and was about to leave, but Mr. Xie stopped him.

"After dinner, it's time to pay homage to your grandparents." Mr. Xie said, "No matter how angry you are with your mother, don't forget to see the old man."

Xie Ning was silent for two seconds, then nodded.

Xie Ning's grandparents were buried in the Changle Cemetery outside the city. The two old people were both professors and teachers, and many students came to the cemetery every Qingming Festival to pay their respects.

Xia Wan is their youngest daughter and is very much loved.

Perhaps she was in a bad mood, and she was uncharacteristically taciturn along the way, didn't mention the little girl who painted pictures, and didn't talk to him again.

Xie Ning heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little grateful in his heart.

This is the way he is familiar with getting along with Xia Wan.

Changle Mausoleum is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is said that countless masters have tested it before construction.

The snow stopped today, but the wind was still strong, hitting the trees on the road to the cemetery, making a rustling sound.

If you come here in the middle of the night, it will be a bit scary if you come here in the dark.

Xie Ning followed Xie Jing and Xia Wan to pay homage to his grandparents, and then went to a small tombstone next to the two old people to offer incense.

That is the mausoleum of Uncle Xie Ning. His uncle died of illness when he was in primary school. Xie Ning was too young at that time and he was still in the south. Now if he didn't come here every year for incense, he would hardly remember that he still had an uncle.

Xie Ning's grandparents had only two children. I heard that his uncle was still unmarried when he died of illness.

After Xia Wan paid homage, he suddenly said, "Go to the car and wait."

Xie Jing whispered, "Xia Wan..."

Xia Wan's face was sullen, with inexplicable emotions: "Let me talk to my parents, my mother, and my brother alone."

Xie Jing wanted to persuade her, but seeing her expression, he finally only sighed and brought Xie Ning back to the car.

Xie Ning walked halfway, looked back, and saw Xia Wan squatting down slowly, touching the name on the tombstone.

His heart hurt for no reason.

Xie Jing said: "Your mother and I will leave before you one day."

Xie Ning: "..."

Xie Jing looked at the hill covered with tombstones: "We are still here now, we can talk about anything we have, and resolve any conflicts slowly. I only hope that you don't start to regret it until we are not around."

"Ningning. Your mother is too stubborn. No one can persuade her to make a decision. I am indecisive. Maybe we are not good parents, but we hope that you will change your heart."

Xie Jing patted his head: "So at any time, don't let us treat you as your mother's relatives without your son...there are only a few left."

Xie Ning looked at him indifferently for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

When Xia Wan came back, her eye circles were red, as if she had cried.

When the car started out of the cemetery, Xie Ning turned his head and his eyes fell on the plaque of "Changle Cemetery".

His eyes were cold and clear, as if he didn't know what sorrow and joy were.

He didn't know how to tell Xie Jing, in fact, it had been a long, long time, and he didn't feel the warmth of family affection.

No matter how hard you try to sense it, it's just a kind of faint, as if separated from the world by a layer of mist.

After thinking deeply, I felt a dull pain.

……

At night, I will go back to the compound.

Xie Ning glanced at the two rabbit dolls placed side by side by the bed, and his dull mood improved a bit.

He was dazed for a while, opened the closet and was about to get a change of clothes, when he caught sight of the black coat on the hanger again.

It was Zhuang Yanfei who asked him to wear it back yesterday.

As if he had a heart-to-heart connection, just as he thought of the name Zhuang Yan, the phone rang.

This time Zhuang Yan directly sent a video call.

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, and slowly nodded to accept.

Zhuang Yan's face appeared on the phone screen: "Ningning?"

Xie Ning: "Yes."

"I can't abduct you again today." Zhuang Yan sighed, "There are too many relatives at home, so I can't go out."

Xie Ning quickly said, "No... I don't want to go out today either."

Zhuang Yan leaned against the wall: "I finally found a clean place to talk to you."

Xie Ning: "If you have something to do, go and do it."

"It's okay." Zhuang Yan shook his head, "It's all relatives who are chatting, the elders are the ones, the younger ones, I find it annoying, I can't run away."

Xie Ning responded lightly.

Zhuang Yan chuckled: "I shouldn't have come to disturb you at this time..."

Xie Ning thought he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly said, "I'm fine too."

Zhuang Yan slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"But I miss you so much." He said in a low voice, "It's only been a day, and I can't help but want to see you..."

Xie Ning: "..."

Xie Ning's ears couldn't help but turn red again when he said such straightforward words in such a low voice.

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Yan smiled deeper, and his voice became more gentle: "What about you?"

"I..." As soon as Xie Ning opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was too soft, so he increased his volume and said, "I'm going to sleep after taking a shower."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Did you go to bed so early?"

Xie Ning: "It's not too early, you go to bed early too, you got home at almost 2 o'clock yesterday, did you get enough sleep today? Did you not catch a cold?"

Zhuang Yan looked at him in a good mood: "Are you caring about me?"

Xie Ning bit the corner of his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Just... a few words of concern."

Zhuang Yan smiled again: "With the blessing you gave me, how could I catch a cold? And I'm in good health, so don't worry."

This smile made Xie Ning's ears sore, and he said after a while, "I, I'm going to take a bath."

Zhuang Yan: "Ningning, do you know that what you say at this time is to seduce people?"

Xie Ning was at a loss: "Huh?"

Zhuang Yan deliberately teased him: "What if I misunderstand that you want to take a shower while watching the video?"

"..." Xie Ning turned his head away, "That's not what I meant!"

Zhuang Yan looked at Xie Ning's eagerness to move himself out of the camera, and felt like a feather slipped gently in his heart.

Before he could speak again, Xie Ning turned his head again, blushing and said, "Stop talking."

Zhuang Yan had enough teasing, and let him go generously: "Okay, I won't say anything, I'll just look at you like this."

Xie Ning was caught off guard, and remembered what he said just now, "taking a shower while watching the video", and blushed even more: "You can't even watch it."

Zhuang Yan was amazed: "I don't even let you watch, kid Ningning is a bit stingy recently."

Xie Ning: "..."

Zhuang Yan saw that it was indeed getting late, so he finally showed mercy and said, "I was joking just now, don't take it seriously."

Xie Ning blinked: "...I know."

Just can't help but take it seriously every time.

"But there is a question you haven't answered me just now." Zhuang Yan said again.

Xie Ning thought for a while, confused: "What's the problem?"

"I said I miss you." Zhuang Yan said softly, "What about you? Miss me?"

Xie Ning: "..."

Zhuang Yan asked persistently, "Answer me, Ningning."

Xie Ning pursed his lips, and after a long while, he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan, "...I want to."

The author has something to say: Ning Ning: Why do you show up every time I am in a bad mood?

Zhuangzhuang: Because we have a good understanding.

Is there a list of Yuan Dan's most heart-warming hits?

If so, can Zhuangzhuang be on the list?

This chapter was deleted once, revised for most of the day, and updated late.

Bow down and apologize.

One more word, I see that there is a topic building in the comment area that is inexplicably built, so I will spoil it in advance to give you peace of mind.

[Ning Ning and Xu Qing have not had any real relationship. 】
