The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 57
byNew Year’s Eve
It was less than an hour before zero o’clock, and the fireworks above our heads were one after another. The road was full of children, each holding a firework stick, and they were chasing each other happily.
This old village also forced itself to open its eyes to see the souls it has nurtured from generation to generation.Feeling happy in his arms and shouting in his breath.
“Celebrate the New Year, make a fortune, and have good luck every day.”
The children shouted their expectations for the future in unison. Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the car. An Yu took out a scarf and wrapped it tightly around his neck without leaving any gaps. Then he leaned aside and looked at the signs of the New Year.
The sound of firecrackers was heard one after another, and a red carpet was spread out from far and near. An Yu stood on it like a groom at a wedding.
Shen Luo looked at the countdown on his phone, his heart beating louder than firecrackers.
“ten”
“nine”
“eight”
“…”
“three”
“two”
“one”
When the number reached zero, Shen Luo raised his whole body and pressed it on An Yu’s shoulders, lying down and whispering in his ear.
“Ayou, Happy New Year!”
The sound was very soft, but it was deafening enough.
“Happy New Year, my boyfriend!!!”
An Yu’s body turned slightly to him, their noses facing each other, and they were submerged in the sea of people.
An Yu took out another ring and put it in front of him. Shen Luo understood it and kissed her on the mouth until the cold air dissipated and the ring fell steadily back into An Yu’s hand.
“Bring it on for me, boyfriend.”
“You like this title very much?”
Shen Luo was puzzled. Although there was nothing wrong with calling him that, it still sounded a bit awkward to him.
“Then what do I want to call you, or what do you want me to call you? Could it be…”
Shen Luo knew that he would definitely shout something even more embarrassing, so he immediately picked up the ring, put it on him ceremoniously, and then put it under the fireworks for comparison.
“Mine looks better.”
An Yu nodded fondly and said, “Of course.”
At midnight, the people on the road gradually dispersed, leaving only the energetic children. Liang Qian also walked over at this time, with his hands folded across his chest, as if he were an adult.
“I knew it was your kid here.”
An Yu smiled and said, “Happy New Year.”
Liang Qian stopped him and said, “Hey, don’t try to get close to me.”
Shen Luo immediately jumped out of the car, stood between the two of them, frowned at Liang Qian and said, “Why are you here to join in the fun?”
“You think I’m willing to come,” Liang Qian said impatiently, “Grandma asked you where you were, so I came out to look for you.”
Shen Luo let him go and said, “I’ll go back right away.”
“Then, do you want to take him back?” Liang Qian observed his movements as if he were watching a show.
Before Shen Luo had time to think, Liang Qian made the decision for him.
“Let’s go back together.”
The three of them went back together, You Min’s laughter could be heard in the courtyard, and Liang Zheng was vividly telling her interesting stories from school.
An Yu stood at the door and did not disturb them. Shen Luo also stood with him. Liang Qian went in and sat down without any care. The movement attracted You Min’s attention.
She stood up in a hurry, stepped forward and took An Yu’s hand, saying, “Xiaoyu, come on in and sit down.”
“Grandma, don’t you blame me for coming here uninvited today?”
You Min was very happy to see him, and even Shen Luo was left out.
Seeing this, Liang Zheng kicked Liang Qian and winked at him. Liang Qian reluctantly gave up the stool under his butt to An Yu.
The two of them just stood at the door, watching An Yu being surrounded by them, as if they were guests.
Liang Qian looked at An Yu Zhongxing holding the moon and murmured, “I should have known better not to let him come.”
When Shen Yixiang saw him, he remembered that he wanted to have a drink last time, but he never had the chance. Finally, he saw him again today. He must not let him go, so he turned around and walked out the door.
You Min smiled kindly and said, “I just made dumplings. You can stay and eat some.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yixiang came in with a wine glass and said, “Last time I said that we would drink to the fullest next time we meet, but we can’t break our promise.”
“I didn’t expect grandpa to remember it, so I’ll have a drink with you.”
Guo Rui heated up the dumplings and served him a bowl. The soup noodles were still glistening with oil, and the dumplings were lying comfortably in the hot water, waiting to be fished out.
Liang Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at him dissatisfied, and said, “He even called grandpa, but you haven’t settled this matter yet.”
“Can you please be quiet?”
Shen Luo couldn’t stand him buzzing in his ears like a fly.
After saying that, Shen Luo stepped forward and patted his shoulder. An Yu held his hand and told him not to worry.
Soon more people joined the battle. Liang Zheng watched with itch, but he couldn’t help it after two rounds.
The wine on the table quickly ran out. Liang Zheng’s eyes were a little blurry, while An Yu could no longer hold on. Shen Yixiang continued to drink, but You Min snatched it away and confiscated all the wine from the three of them.
“No more drinking.”
Shen Luo helped the person into the bedroom first, leaving only him and Liang Qian to clean up the mess in the main room.
The sound of the TV series was still very loud, and the Spring Festival Gala was playing on it. In previous years, they would sit in front of the TV together, cracking melon seeds, drinking brewed tea, and playing around. This year, everyone was drunk and it was deserted.
After Shen Luo finished scanning, he remembered that he and Liang Qian hadn’t put the thing away after reading it last night. He immediately rushed into the bedroom, and An Yu leaned on his head and looked at the content with his eyes.
“I’m not with you, do you just rely on this to kill time?”
Shen Luo blushed at what he said. He denied it repeatedly and stepped forward to snatch it away, “This… this is not mine, it belongs to Liang Qian.”
An Yu deliberately avoided his outstretched hand and fell into his arms without stopping.
“Then why in your room.”
Shen Luo didn’t dare to look at him and quickly stood up and hurriedly stuffed all those things into the drawer, including the one in An Yu’s hand.
“He fell here last night.”
“Oh~”
An Yu frowned meaningfully and chuckled.
Suddenly Liang Qian broke in through the door, still holding a pillow in his hand, and sat on the bed angrily, muttering to himself: “Every time we have a quarrel, I am the one who packs up and leaves.”
Then he punched the pillow hard with his fist, An Yu looked at him, and Shen Luo explained: “Every time my godfather drinks, my godmother won’t let him go back to the room to sleep, so he can only run to Liang Qian, and Liang Qian can’t smell the smell of alcohol unless he drinks, so he runs to me.”
An Yu looked at the three people in the room and said, “Then the three of us sleep on the same bed now?”
Shen Luo nodded helplessly.
“You think I want to,” Liang Qian yelled, “and you’re not happy about it.”
Shen Luo was the peacemaker every time. He made a shushing gesture and said, “Don’t hurt your friendship during the Chinese New Year. Be quiet.”
So the three people squeezed into the same bed, and Shen Luo was sandwiched in the middle. Fortunately, Shen Luo didn’t like lying on his side, otherwise it would be difficult to face anyone. As soon as he closed his eyes, his body was picked up by An Yu.
“Watch me sleep.” An Yu’s voice was very soft, and she was actually acting coquettishly towards him.
“Okay, go to sleep, be good.”
An Yu curled up the corner of her mouth, feeling the warmth of him against her chest. The quilt on her body was blown away by their movements, and Liang Qian sat up instantly.
“Can you two stop doing this in front of me? I’m a person with sensitive facial features.”
Just when Shen Luo was about to speak, An Yu got in front of him and said angrily: “Go to sleep, you won’t be able to hear me when you fall asleep.”
“How… ungrateful.”
