Winter, bedroom.
"What do you want to express?" Jiang Ning’s gaze fell into Tongtong’s eyes and t hers.
Although his gaze was clear and bright, Xue Yuantong felt an indescribable aning. She felt guilty and instinctively turned her face away.
Then, thinking that she was afraid of him, she quickly turned back.
Xue Yuantong crossed her hands over her chest, boldly said: "I just envy how well the two of them get along. Sotis when Si Yu forgets to kiss her, her sister gets mad and she has to make up for it the next day."
Jiang Ning imagined the scene slightly and praised: "Indeed, they have a great relationship."
Xue Yuantong murmured: "I don’t have soone that close."
Jiang Ning said: "If you want..."
Before he could finish, Tongtong’s proud expression disappeared imdiately. She lowered her small face, blushing, and twisted her small hands, blaming: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Ning changed his tune: "I ant, I could say goodnight to you every night."
He thought, saying this, Tongtong might be a bit disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Xue Yuantong suddenly raised her little face, confirming: "Is it every day?"
Jiang Ning smiled: "Of course every day."
Xue Yuantong felt delighted, every day ant that from now on, he had to say it every day!
"Then you mustn’t go back on your word!" Xue Yuantong warned him.
Jiang Ning: "Mm."
Xue Yuantong emphasized: "Starting from tonight."
Jiang Ning: "Alright."
Xue Yuantong reiterated: "If you don’t say it one day..."
Jiang Ning: "How would I dare not, you get mad like a small landmine."
Xue Yuantong was poked at her sore spot by his words, the most difficult thing for her to talk about. In Jiang Ning’s eyes, was she just a short little landmine?
Xue Yuantong angrily said: "Who are you calling a small landmine?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
...
Tongtong left, taking all the snacks ant for Jiang Ning without leaving him any.
Aunt Gu was watching TV in the house, noticing the commotion from the small yard. She found it strange, it was not even 9 o’clock, why was her daughter back so early tonight? She usually ssed around until at least 11.
She deliberately put on her slippers and walked to Tongtong’s bedroom door, finding her daughter eating snacks and playing on a tablet.
’Not bad, still knows how to eat and play, no problem.’ Aunt Gu felt relieved.
She ntioned: "Rember to brush your teeth after eating, go to sleep before 11, or you’ll grow to look like a little potato."
After finishing, Aunt Gu returned to continue watching TV.
Xue Yuantong’s hand trembled while holding the snack, suddenly heartbroken, suffering verbal injury from the two closest people!
She was no longer angry, but disappointed, deeply disappointed in this world!
’The world treats with indifference, I shall repay with indifference.’ Xue Yuantong secretly vowed, from now on, she’d never smile again, she would beco an ice block.
’Wait until I beco a cold, tall machine!’ Xue Yuantong kept a cold face, turning into ice.
She fantasized about years later, her mom and Jiang Ning looking up at her proud face, pleading in agony: "Tongtong, we were wrong, please smile, you haven’t smiled in three years!"
And she’d look at them coldly: "Isn’t this what you all wanted?"
Mom and Jiang Ning chased after her, crying out: "Tongtong, no!"
Xue Yuantong continued her cold gaze, then she covered her icy face, let out a sick laugh: "Why didn’t you think of this back then! Hahaha!"
Mom and Jiang Ning were shocked: "Oh my, how did you turn out like this!"
Xue Yuantong arrogantly: "Feel the regret, the pain!"
Imagining the scene of their regret, Xue Yuantong couldn’t help but laugh out, her crisp laughter filled the bedroom, she felt happy.
Next door.
After making Tongtong leave, Jiang Ning sat on Tongtong’s exclusive throne, playing a strategy ga—Civilization 5, his Divine Sense observed the laugh from the next room, speechless: "Laughing like a fool."
She seed eternally optimistic, whether life was poor or abundant, destined to be happy forever.
Whenever playing with her, it was as if happiness was contagious.
Tonight Jiang Ning played on the computer alone, ti slowly passed, until a certain mont, his phone on the computer desk suddenly popped up with a text ssage.
"[Yuzhou teorological Bureau Announcent] Good news cos, the ice thickness on the East River Bank of the Huishui River has reached 35 centiters, fully eting the ice-surfacing requirent. To enrich the citizens’ winter cultural life, starting from 2 pm tomorrow, the ice rink on the East River Bank will open to the public, sincerely inviting citizens to experience the fun of skating!"
After seeing the ssage, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, indeed it’s open.
Not just him, many classmates also received the ssage, Bai Yuxia and the twins ssaged him, saying see you tomorrow.
"Yep, see you tomorrow." Jiang Ning responded.
According to the previous agreent with Bai Yuxia, he needed to pick her up tomorrow. Thinking of Bai Yuxia’s family’s BMW, Jiang Ning thought about his cool electric bike, was he considered a Ghost Fire boy?
Tongtong was always focused on the tablet; her phone was Jiang Ning’s old 5s after switching to an Apple 6plus, the small screen experience was much worse than the tablet.
The night grew deeper, as thick as ink, quietly reaching eleven thirty at night.
The outside with biting cold, inside the blanket, Xue Yuantong seed to hear the cold wind blowing and the small whispers as leaves rustled.
Oh, the Da Guan Poplar’s leaves were all gone, not a single leaf.
Xue Yuantong’s small ears twitched, suddenly startling: ’It’s mom’s footsteps!’
In an instant, she turned off the screen’s glow, closing her eyes in a flash.
The next second, as the door opened, the room lights suddenly brightened, Aunt Gu stood at the door.
Xue Yuantong lazily turned over, rubbing her eyes as if stabbed, her voice carrying a bit of wake-up grumpiness: "What do you want? Mom, you woke up~"
Aunt Gu glanced at her twice, turned off the light, closed the door, and left.
"Hehe." Xue Yuantong continued to play on the tablet.
Fifteen minutes later, Aunt Gu broke in again, this ti, without turning on the light.
Xue Yuantong pretended to be asleep.
Aunt Gu left.
Unexpectedly, Xue Yuantong, pretending so well, got genuinely sleepy, the drowsiness ca fiercely.
In a daze, Xue Yuantong thought: ’I can’t sleep yet, Jiang Ning hasn’t said good night.’
But too tired, while still conscious, she took the small phone, set the notification volu to the highest, placed it by her ear, so when Jiang Ning ssaged, it would wake her up.
The night beca deeper, she fell asleep curled in her warm covers.
Jiang Ning used Divine Sense to check, he deployed an array to mute her phone’s notifications, and sent her a ssage: "Sleep well, have sweet dreams."
His Divine Sense swept over Tongtong, she was imrsed in a dream, her breathing gentle, eyelashes lightly drooping, her sleeping face innocently pure, her mouth slightly curved, seemingly betraying the joy of her dream.
As if, she dreamt of Jiang Ning’s good night.
