Finally, it was New Year's Eve. Chenchen finally had an excuse to send Lin Qianqi a text. Because of this small reason, she had been looking forward to it for a long time. She had just woken up on New Year's Eve and was holding her phone, hesitating whether she should send a message now. It was better not to. He might not have woken up yet, and there was no need to send a congratulatory message so early.
Chenchen put down her phone first. When it was noon, Chenchen kept looking at her phone and hesitated again. It wasn't time to send a text yet, right?
When it was two in the afternoon, Chenchen felt like she was about to break down. Should he send a message or not?
When her mother saw her like this, she asked her to make dumplings with her. Chenchen was not very good at wrapping things up, but it was better to find something to do while waiting for time to pass.
He pounded glutinous rice flour and washed vegetables to make dumpling fillings. Every year on New Year's Eve, her parents would make dumplings together. Although she was not a northerner, Chenchen would eat something special on special days. Besides, her mother's cooking skills were so good, but the number of times she made dumplings in a year was too little, so she could not eat enough.
Finally, everything was done and they began to make dumplings. Chenchen also started to make dumplings, but the dumplings she made…did not look very good.
Chenchen gave up before she could wrap up a few. She lay on the sofa and stopped moving.
She suddenly remembered the text message and quickly took out her phone to check the time.
It's past four o'clock. I can send a message now, right? Chenchen had been looking forward to it for the whole day. Finally, it was time to send a text. She suddenly felt a little nervous.
Happy New Year's Eve! We're making dumplings at home. What about you?
Chenchen held her phone after sending the message. She touched her heart that was beating a little fast and secretly scolded herself for being useless.
Her phone vibrated and Chenchen immediately turned it on. When she saw that the sender was Lin Qianqi, she jumped up." He replied to me, yeah!"”
Her parents were shocked.
Chenchen giggled and quickly ran back to her room to read the message.
Happy New Year's Eve to you too. I haven't even had lunch yet. I'm so envious that you have dumplings to eat.
Chenchen jumped up again. He had not even eaten lunch.
Why aren't you eating? Where are your parents?
Chenchen was a little puzzled. Her phone vibrated again.
My parents have to work. I'm used to spending New Year's Eve alone.
Chenchen suddenly felt that his tone was a little sad and her heart ached a little. Then, she decided.
Wait here, I'll bring you some dumplings.
Then, without waiting for him to reply to the message, she grabbed her coat and put on her scarf before running downstairs.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back later. Also, I want to take some dumplings out.”Chenchen took a bag and filled it with more than ten dumplings. She was still worried that Lin Qianqi would not have enough to eat, so she put a few more dumplings into the bag.
"Where are you going? You even brought dumplings out?" Her mother saw that she was so anxious and also became anxious." Did something happen?”
"It's fine, it's fine. It's just that…Ye Wen suddenly wants to eat the dumplings you made.”Chenchen randomly found an excuse.
"Doesn't she dislike dumplings?”
She suddenly wanted to eat it. "Chenchen had already stepped out of the door when she said this. Remember to buy a bottle of soy sauce when you come back later."”Her mother ran out and called out.
"I know, I know." After saying that, he had already walked away.
She had to ask Ye Wen to lie for her later. Thinking of this, she didn't stop walking and walked faster and faster.
"Hello? Ye Wen? Don't go to my house later. Come back when I get home. Also, you have to tell me that you suddenly wanted to eat dumplings and asked me to bring them to you.”
Chenchen hung up before Ye Wen could say anything. Right now, she was thinking about how Lin Qianqi had not eaten yet.
Chenchen was familiar with Lin Qianqi's home. When she was in high school, she often followed him home.
Lin Qianqi was shocked when she said that she was going to give him dumplings. He quickly replied to her and told her not to come and to cook noodles for herself.
However, when he did not see her reply after a few minutes, he knew that she had already arrived.
He sighed. It was a little uncomfortable to see that he was alone in such a big house. Yesterday, she had said that she would come back to spend New Year's Eve with him. In the morning, she called back and said that she would not be coming back. Both of them were working overtime. Seeing that the part-time worker, Auntie Ah, kept looking out of the window, hoping to get off work early, he asked her to go back.
Was he that busy? She was so busy that she even forgot about this family.
About 20 minutes later, someone knocked on the door. Lin Qianqi quickly went to open the door and saw Chenchen's nose and face that were red from the cold wind. She was still panting. She must have run over.
At that moment, Lin Qianqi really wanted to pull her into his arms. He knew what he wanted.
He took the bag from her hand and gently pulled her into the house. He didn't hold her hand because he wanted to kiss her, but because her hand was red from the cold because she couldn't put the dumplings in her pocket. He wanted to pass his warmth to her.
Chenchen was shy. He actually held her hand. Also, she had actually entered his house. The thing that she had never dared to dream of had actually come true.
"It must be very cold. I told you not to come. I can cook something to eat.”Lin Qianqi rubbed her head, feeling sorry for her.
"It's okay. My house is not very far from yours.”Chenchen was not used to him being so close to her. They looked like a couple. He felt his heart beating fast. She looked away and pretended to look at his house. It was very big and clean, but it was a little less popular.
"I'll get you a cup of warm water to warm you up." It was so cold outside, and she still had to walk for more than ten minutes. Lin Qianqi felt that it was very far.
"Why…why are your parents still working on New Year's Eve?”Chenchen asked as she watched him pour the water.
Lin Qianqi was not in a hurry to reply. He poured the water for her and handed it to her. He sat down beside her." They don't have a day off in a year.”
Chenchen looked at him when she heard that. There was an emotion in his eyes that she had never seen before.
Seeing her looking at him like that, he smiled and said," It's nothing. I'm used to it. It's good to be alone at home. No one cares."”
Chenchen lowered her head. He was lying. His eyes clearly showed that he was very sad.
"You haven't had lunch yet. Aren't you hungry? I'll cook dumplings for you." Only then did Chenchen remember that she had something important to do. She quickly put down her cup and stood up.
Lin Qianqi grabbed her hand." There's no hurry. I'll do it myself."”She was already so cold, yet she came over just because of his words. He did not want her to touch the cold water from the tap again.
Chenchen stared blankly at his figure as he walked into the kitchen. She stared at her own hands in a daze.
What was wrong with him today? Or was there something wrong with him? Was he dreaming? Chenchen pinched her own face. It would hurt. It was not a dream.
His hands were really warm. Chenchen's face turned redder and redder. Chenchen was a little dazed when she heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen. She stood up leisurely and walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at his clean and slender fingers moving in the water, what beautiful hands…Chenchen was smitten again.
Lin Qianqi raised his head and saw Chenchen looking at him in a daze. He laughed." Are you hungry too? You brought so much, do you want to eat with me?”He had indeed brought too much. Even if he had not eaten for two days, it was impossible for him to eat so much at once.
Chenchen lowered her head and blushed. She said softly," I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat, so…if you can't finish it, you can put it in the fridge. If you're hungry tonight, you can take it out to eat."
Lin Qianqi looked at her with a smile. He put the pot on the fire and stood at the side to wait for the water to boil. Actually, he did not feel that hungry. Perhaps he was alone and did not feel hungry. Now that he saw the dumplings and Chenchen's red face, he suddenly had an appetite.
