Pavilion in the garden

The New Year's fireworks exploded in the night sky, and the scattered fireworks burned in the twilight, shining brightly.

With the crowd counting down to the last second, the New Year is here.

At this time, no matter which corner of the city it was in, it was filled with fiery atmosphere.

I saw the large LED screen placed outside the building, and the screen was festive red.

Red firecracker crumbs, red new clothes, red couplet window grilles, red candies, all are dazzling red as far as the eye can see.

As for the faces of the people, there are also brilliant smiles.

The joy that the New Year brings brings them back to life.

And no matter how good or bad the previous year was, this year is definitely a new beginning, and people can build their next year to the best of their abilities.

Ji Tingxie looked back, turned and left the balcony, and walked into the house.

The heating was fully turned on in the room, and the chill that had been picked up outside slowly dissipated.

He sat down on the sofa, and the hot temperature made his whole body warm up.

He bent down and poured a cup of tea, it wasn't too hot anymore, but it was warm enough to fit his mouth, just a little bit more astringent.

Take a sip or put it down.

He was the only one in the house, but he didn't look deserted.

The TV is on, and most of the channels are showing programs to welcome the Spring Festival. The host and guests are joking with each other, or performing funny activities such as group performances, and there are bursts of laughter.

It was a joy to listen to.

Ji Tingxie didn't pay much attention, but caught a touch of red in his peripheral vision.

It is a carp ornament hanging on the background wall.

It is a festive bright red color again. The body of the fish is round and plump, and the mouth of the fish is bent into a smile. It is very pleasing to look at.

Not only this, but also pieces of window grilles pasted on the glass windows, couplets on both sides of the gate, even on the tea table and TV cabinet, there are decorations symbolizing the New Year.

It was all chosen by Qi Ye.

He went home last night.

Although he is extremely reluctant, under the repeated urging of his parents, there is no room for him to be self-willed, not to mention that it is a deeply rooted tradition to go home during the New Year, how can it be said to change.

So before leaving yesterday, he insisted on pestering Ji Tingxie to buy a bunch of things for the New Year.

It is also necessary to fill the empty desktop with decorations that have no aesthetic value.

Seeing the dots of festive bright red in the room, he was quite satisfied.

It wasn't until it was time for dinner that Qi Ye was reluctant to leave when the mobile phone bombarded him.

"I'll be home in two days."

Qi Ye hugged Ji Tingxie's neck violently, raised his head and pressed against his rosy lips for a moment, then let go.

"remember to miss me."

After speaking, he quickly took the door and left.

It's kind of boring.

Ji Tingxie got up, turned off the noisy TV, and turned off the lights and heater in the hall.

Slowly walking back to the room, thinking about whether to change clothes and go out to watch a movie.

Suddenly, a familiar cell phone rang in the living room.

Turning his head back, he didn't turn on the light, but pressed the answer button through the bright screen.

At the same time, I sat on the sofa that was still warm.

"Xiaoxie."

A magnetic male voice came, with a touch of intimacy for no reason.

Who else can call himself by this name.

Ji Tingxie couldn't help showing a smile, and his usually flat voice was also tinged with a bit of lightness.

"Xiao Huai."

"Shouldn't you call me Brother Huai?"

As he spoke, the person on the phone couldn't help but sneered, with a teasing tone.

He didn't care, and continued, "Are you at home with your brother again?"

"No, just myself."

"So, let's spend this year together."

Xiao Huai smiled and said, "Come over to my side."

"When?"

Ji Tingxie didn't refuse, and asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better, I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

As he said that, Xiao Huai gave a "boo" from the air, and he almost didn't get tired of it.

"it is good."

Ji Tingxie was not surprised when he saw it, and ignored his flirtatious behavior, and hung up the phone with a promise.

There was nothing to prepare, Ji Tingxie changed her clothes, wrapped her coat in a coat, took her belongings and went downstairs.

Slow down, and when he reached the gate of the community, the driver was already waiting.

"Happy New Year, Young Master Ji."

Seeing people getting on the bus, the driver greeted them warmly.

"Hello Uncle Luo, Happy New Year."

Ji Tingxie smiled lightly and sat down in the back row.

The drive is not far away, and on the occasion of the New Year, the traffic flow on the road has also been greatly reduced, so we will arrive in a short time.

Xiao Huai lived in the Xincheng area, surrounded by mountains and sea, with excellent scenery.

However, due to the new development and remote location, it is very clean to live in.

The door is open.

As soon as it was pushed away, a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of perfume overflowed.

Ji Tingxie couldn't help wrinkling her nose.

A group of cleaning workers are cleaning around the hall, moving neatly and non-stop.

Gorgeous fireworks are scattered all over the place, the smooth tiles are stained with sticky air bubbles and water stains, empty wine bottles are tilted upside down, wine glasses are scattered, and all kinds of desserts that have been eaten or not are randomly placed in every corner. The place, the entire hall was unbelievably messy.

It's clear that a party has just ended here.

And it's a carnival.

At this time someone came down from upstairs.

The person in front of him was slender and tall, even tall and powerful. With his healthy complexion and his deep and three-dimensional facial features, his whole person showed a masculine and handsome masculine charm.

"Hi, Xiaoxie, long time no see."

Xiao Huai smiled brightly, showing a row of neat and white teeth, and hugged Ji Tingxie forcefully with his arms outstretched.

A second before he struggled, Xiao Huai consciously let go, and walked upstairs with his shoulders in his arms.

The stairs were not spared either, and the scattered fireworks and confetti were so dense that it was impossible to get off.

"Okay, okay, don't be disgusted. The upstairs is reserved for you, it's clean."

Xiao Huai quickly flattered him, and dragged him upstairs quickly.

Entering a room deep in the corridor, it was spacious and clean as expected.

"sit."

Saying that, Xiao Huai lay down on the sofa, with a contented smile on his face.

Ji Tingxie didn't sit down, and he didn't blame the host for his poor hospitality, and started making tea with the utensils on the coffee table, self-sufficient.

"Finally, I can drink the tea made by Xiaoxie."

Xiao Huai looked up at him triumphantly, hugged the pillow, and sank into the sofa a little more comfortably.

Ji Tingxie filtered the tea leaves with hot water, put them into the porcelain pot and began to add water.

The hot water was filled with thick white air, which vaguely reflected his handsome face, but it was like a flower in the mist, so beautiful that it was unreal.

Looking at it, Xiao Huai couldn't help but "tsk", stopped his lazy posture, and slowly straightened up.

"My Xiaoxie is really beautiful."

Once the tea is brewed, just wait a few minutes.

Ji Tingxie sat down, and then looked at him.

Xiao Huai's eyes met him, and there was undisguised amazement and love inside, but on his face was a coveted and anxious look, which ruined his image.

"You can't really bend."

Ji Tingxie glanced at him, that guy was obviously becoming more and more unscrupulous, and he couldn't stand it.

"If it's a beauty like you, I'm very honored."

Xiao Huai laughed, and at the same time made a gentleman's gesture of gratitude, which was very funny.

"Can't bend. You still have a lot of real beauties waiting."

"Xiaoxie, you are really... boring..."

Xiao Huai couldn't bear it, and laughed so hard that he almost fell down on the sofa.

It's not his fault either.

Who made the contrast between inside and outside of Ji Tingxie too big?Obviously he looks like a dull and introverted person, but he actually has a sense of humor.

Occasionally a sudden response can always surprise people, where is the usual cold and boring appearance?He's clearly an interesting guy.

He slowly stopped laughing, and looked at Ji Tingxie again, "I just like you being bored in front of outsiders and flirting in front of me, haha..."

Ji Tingxie was too lazy to argue with him, seeing that the tea was almost ready, she bent down and poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them.

The tea was very hot, and holding it in my hands was just right to warm my hands.

Xiao Huai took the tea and held it in his hand like him, only to see that the color of the tea was translucent, and he lowered his head to smell the fragrance of the tea.

"Why did your brother go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Xiao Huai looked at him and spoke nonchalantly.

"Sooner or later."

"He is willing to leave you alone?"

Xiao Huai had a half-smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he was playing with a small white porcelain cup while speaking.

Ji Tingxie was noncommittal, and slowly took a sip of the tea, the tip of his tongue was tingling from the heat.

Still a little hot.

Simply put down the cup.Sit down again.

"Are you unhappy that I came to play with you?"

Ji Tingxie had a slight smile on his usually calm face, and his beautiful lips curled into a shallow arc.

"How come. It's just strange."

Xiao Huai laughed out loud, moved his body a little closer to him, and put his hand on his shoulder.

As he got closer, the person in front of him became clearer, with deep black eyes, a straight nose bridge, and porcelain white skin, every inch of it was meticulously crafted.

He couldn't help touching his cheek, the extra delicate touch made him almost sigh with satisfaction.

"Why aren't you a woman?"

Before he finished sighing, the next second, Ji Tingxie moved away and took off his restless hand at the same time.

"You actually despise your brother Huai?!"

Heartbroken!

Embarrassed for a while, Xiao Huai couldn't help touching his nose, and quickly straightened his sitting posture, put away his indecent look, and returned to the normal conversation mode.

"Then what do you want to do during the new year?"

Ji Tingxie relaxed his body, leaned on the back of the sofa, and slowly replied, "I don't know either."

Without waiting for him to ask, he added, "You should make arrangements."

As he spoke, he gave him a playful look, the smile on his lips widened, and two lovely dimples loomed.

"Good good."

Xiao Huai was convinced, and couldn't hold back and started laughing, the force was so strong that his abdominal muscles hurt.

"Oh my god. Even your dearest brother doesn't know you are so cute!"

"It seems that you have misunderstood the word cute, thank you."

Ji Tingxie looked at him, tilting his head slightly, with a calm expression, but his eyes clearly shone with unruly and wanton light.

Xiao Huai smiled lightly, but did not retort, but the smile on his lips grew stronger.

Holding the white porcelain cup with five fingers, he raised his head and drank a big mouthful of tea. His tongue stirred in his mouth, and the taste of the tea became more obvious.

Xiao Huai doesn't understand tea and doesn't pay attention to it, but this cup of tea still tastes different from usual, probably because of the person who made the tea.

He is such a lovely person.

No matter when he was a child, or as time passed, the world changed, and until now, his essence has never changed.

That kind of lovable quality is branded on him, all the time, making him always shine in the crowd.

Of course, not everyone can understand him.

Most of the people who met him thought he was cold and boring, not easy to get along with, and would soon stay away from him.

Even those who are not far away are mostly attracted by his appearance, which is nothing more than a momentary admiration.

And the rest, those who can appreciate his interesting, must have penetrated into his heart.

Only when he opens himself to the outside world can others perceive the real him and understand his value.

He is rare.

This is Xiao Huai's biggest feeling for Ji Tingxie.

It is rare to experience trauma, but it is also rare to keep your heart.

On the one hand, he was as indifferent as ice, and on the other hand, he was as enthusiastic as fire.

He doesn't know how to love, but he is born with the ability to love others.

My lovely brother, I only wish you happiness.

Xiao Huai muttered in his heart, turned his head to look at him, picked up the porcelain cup and drank it down in one gulp.
