When Jiang Suichu got home, he washed his lunch box and then went back to his room. The phone under his pillow kept vibrating.
She quickly walked over and picked up her phone. As she thought, it was a video call from Lu Zhinian.
She took off her coat and shoes, got into bed with the charged flashlight on the bedside, and turned on the video.
"Lu Zhinian."
"Yes." Lu Zhinian heard her calling his name and smiled slightly, "Where have you been? Why did it take so long to answer the phone."
"I just came back from Jiang Minghao's house."
Lu Zhinian nodded, "Is it cold?"
It was very cold just after getting under the winter quilt. Jiang Suichu didn't dare to straighten his legs and kept curling up.
She wrinkled her nose and said to him with a weird expression, "It's so cold~"
Lu Zhinian was amused by her cute expression, "Where's the hot water bottle? It's useless?"
Before the holiday, he bought her a hot water bottle for her to take back, because he was worried that it would be cold in the countryside without heating.
Jiang Suichu: "It's charging. It'll be fine in a while."
Lu Zhinian felt relieved after hearing what she said. He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was half an hour before midnight.
Jiang Suichu glanced behind him and saw a brightly lit Chinese courtyard, with small red lanterns and colored lights hung on the neatly trimmed landscape trees.
You can still hear the lively sounds coming from the house in the distance. It is not difficult to tell that there are many people.
"Lu Zhinian, are you at your grandpa's house?"
"Yes." Lu Zhinian nodded, "Everyone is celebrating the New Year here today."
Lu Zhinian's maternal grandfather's home was in Beicheng. She remembered that when she was a child, Aunt Shuyuan would take Lu Zhinian back to Beicheng every year to celebrate the New Year.
As he spoke, white mist continued to spray from his mouth, "Jiang Suichu, do you want to see a snowman?"
"Snowman?" Jiang Suichu's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Did you build it?"
Lu Zhinian raised his lower lip, "Well, do you want to see it?"
"Yes!" Jiang Suchu nodded vigorously.
In Yun City, except for the high-altitude mountains, most places do not snow in winter. When Jiang Suichu grew up, he could only see the white snow on the top of Duojiyun Mountain from a distance.
Lu Zhinian: "Then wait a moment, we still need something."
Um?
After he finished speaking, Jiang Suchu saw the camera turned upside down, and then the screen turned into darkness.
Lu Zhinian put his cell phone in his pocket, picked up two fairy sticks from the stone table in the courtyard and compared them around the snowman.
I wasn't sure where to insert it for a moment.
Jiang Suchu held the phone in his hands. The screen was still black, but a childish voice suddenly came from it.
"Wow~ Brother, is this the snowman you built for me?"
Lu Zhinian looked back at his little cousin, inserted the fairy stick into the snowman's arm, and smiled at her, "No."
The smile on the little cousin's face suddenly disappeared. She still had the sweet chocolate in her mouth and blinked her big eyes, "Who did the brother pile it for?"
Jiang Suchu hid under the quilt, covering his mouth and snickering, wanting to hear how Lu Zhinian would respond to this.
Lu Zhinian took out the lighter, thought for a moment, and said, "It was made for a little fairy."
"Little fairy?" The little cousin's eyes widened in surprise. She ran to him on her short fleshy legs and looked up at him. "Is she a magic fairy?"
She has been watching the Balala Little Fairy cartoon recently and fantasizes all day about how one day she can become a magical fairy.
Lu Zhinian rubbed her head and said, "Yes, she is a little magic fairy."
"Wow~" The little cousin jumped excitedly, pulling on the hem of his coat and looking around, "Brother, where is the little fairy? Why can't Xixi see it?"
Lu Zhinian picked her up and said, "The little fairy is shy and is hiding."
Xixi bit her finger, a little puzzled, "Can little fairies be shy too?"
Lu Zhinian: "Yes."
Xixi looked at him and asked: "Then why is the little fairy not shy when she sees her brother?"
"Well..." Lu Zhinian curled his lips and said, "Because the little fairy likes me~"
Jiang Suchu was listening to the childish conversation between Lu Zhinian and Xixi with great interest, but when he heard what he said, he was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually heated up.
What~
"Xixi, why did you come outside?" Shu Yue couldn't find anyone in the house, so after searching around, she found her in the backyard.
"Mom~ Brother Anian built a snowman for the little fairy." Xixi saw her mother and happily extended her hand to her.
Shu Yue took her daughter from Lu Zhinian, "Little fairy?"
Lu Zhinian scratched his eyebrows uncomfortably and said, "Auntie, I'm teasing Xixi."
Shu Yue glanced at the snowman that was half a man tall. It turned out that no one had come here to build a snowman since he couldn't find him for a long time.
"Your grandpa has been looking for chess pieces all day today. Remember to return them quietly when you are done with them." She said with an expression that said she had seen through the chess pieces, "It's cold outside, don't stay too long."
After Shu Yue left with Xixi in her arms, Lu Zhinian looked at the time. It was already midnight in less than ten minutes.
He took out his phone, glanced at Jiang Suichu, who was still waiting obediently, and smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Suichu's face was still a little hot, and it got even hotter when he looked at her like this.
Lu Zhinian held up his mobile phone in one hand and lit the fairy wand with a lighter in the other, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Jiang Suichu gave him an angry look and muttered in a low voice: "How can you tease a child like this?"
Lit one side, Lu Zhinian switched to the other side and said with a lazy smile: "Why am I so funny? Tell me."
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and looked away: "...I won't tell you, it will teach bad things to the children..."
Both fairy sticks were lit, and Lu Zhinian called her, "Jiang Suichu, look."
Jiang Suichu looked up and saw a snowman half a man tall standing in the middle of the huge courtyard. The snowman's head is a little crooked, with eyes made of chess pieces and a big smile cut out of his mouth.
In its arms were two fairy wands with twinkling flames.
The moment the time on the phone reached zero, two voices sounded at the same time.
"Little fairy, happy new year!"
"Lu Zhinian, happy New Year!"
