Don't tease me!

Chapter 33

The gorgeous fireworks lit up the night slightly, and when the zero o'clock struck, Bai Hua rushed downstairs at the first second of the new year and threw herself into Fu Qiao's arms.

Fu Qiao was wearing thick clothes, but he caught him very nimbly, and twirled around in his arms.

He thought that Bai Hua was wearing too little, so he had to unzip the down jacket and wrap Bai Hua in it.

The distance between the two suddenly approached, and Bai Hua almost touched the bridge of Fu Qiao's nose, subconsciously holding her breath.

He looked at Fu Qiao greedily, and carefully traced his snow-stained eyelashes to his thin and narrow lips.

Bai Hua touched Fu Qiao's forehead hair which was wet by snow water with her hands, and her hands were wet and cool.

He felt a little distressed, Fu Qiao must have walked through the snow for a long time before arriving, he doesn't like winter so much.

"Why are you here?" Bai Hua enjoyed the warmth of being close to Fu Qiao, and wrapped her arms around Fu Qiao to hug him.

Then a light kiss fell, like snowflakes fluttering in the sky, gentle and weightless.

"I miss you."

"Happy New Year." Fu Qiao said, "My New Year's wish is—I hope Huahua will be happy every day."

Bai Hua buried her face on the side of Fu Qiao's neck, and the warm temperature made him rub it contentedly.

He only hoped that next year, the year after, and many years to come, he would be lucky enough to listen to the zero o'clock bell with Fu Qiao.

There is a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road, which is still open on New Year's Eve.The bright lights attracted the two people passing by, it must be very warm inside.

They went in to beat the heat, and passed the cash register, where there was only one cashier, who was still working on New Year's Eve.There were several plates of peanuts, rice, soybeans and melon seeds in front of the cashier, as well as a plate of boiled quick-frozen dumplings.

He turned on the TV in the shop to broadcast advertisements, and the song and dance performance of the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on it. When he saw Bai Hua and the two coming in, he just rolled his eyes, spat out a piece of melon seed shell, and soon continued to focus on the song and dance performance.

The two walked into the depths of the shelf and hugged each other quietly for a while.

Bai Hua seemed dissatisfied, and kept looking at Fu Qiao with wet eyes, always wanting to kiss him while no one was looking.

He seldom took the initiative like this, Fu Qiao was very happy, and very cooperatively used the scarf to block the direction of the two of them facing outwards, and kept sticking with Bai Hua in the corner.

Within a few minutes, I heard a sneer from the cashier boy, followed by the sound of cracking melon seeds and peeling them.

Bai Hua's heartbeat also gradually returned to normal, blushing, she casually took a box of chewing gum to pay the bill.

The cashier boy finally stopped eating melon seeds, took the chewing gum and scanned the QR code with a half-smile, looked around Fu Qiao's face, and said casually, "My boyfriend is handsome. Supplies."

It wasn't until Fu Qiao helped Bai Hua take away the "chewing gum" and put it back on the shelf that Bai Hua realized what she had taken.

He took another box of real chewing gum to hide it, and said calmly, "Sorry, I took the wrong one."

"Yo, I'm sorry." The little brother spat out the melon seeds, showing a slightly nostalgic smile, "I really envy you, my boyfriend probably forgot about me."

Bai Hua and Fu Qiao looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Perhaps it was because no one went out on New Year's Eve, and no one patronized this small shop. The little brother held back for a long time, talking to himself, "I fell out with my family because of my partner, and he turned around and married a woman. I If you don’t want to go home, you go out to work, anyway, you can support yourself.”

Seeing Fu Qiao's tall appearance, he seemed to be pleasing to the eye, and said with satisfaction, "You are as tall as my ex-boyfriend. It is fate to meet you. Let me treat you to dumplings."

A few minutes later, Bai Hua and Fu Qiao each held a box of quick-frozen dumplings boiled in boiling water, and they saw the little brother take it from the shelf with their own eyes.

Both of them were not very hungry, but they were greeted by the younger brother to eat while it was hot.

Bai Hua took a bite of the dumpling, stuffed with shrimp, it was delicious.

The little brother became happy when he saw them eating, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Eat more, it's like celebrating the New Year with me."

He took a few more cans of beer from the shelf, opened them on his own, and poured them into his mouth.

The little brother was not stingy at all, he took several kinds of snacks and opened the package for them to eat. Worried that the two of them would have concerns, he swiped the code at the cashier to check out, proving that he was not greedy for the boss's money.

When they finished eating, the little brother didn't want to keep them, and finally gave them a large box of family planning supplies, and waved them smartly to let them go home early.

Fu Qiao took it and put it in his pocket.

It became quieter after late at night, Fu Qiao sent Bai Hua downstairs, took out the small box and looked at it, and said with satisfaction, "This size is very accurate."

Bai Hua nodded, kissed Fu Qiao's side face, and said in a low voice, "So you grow up quickly and become an adult quickly."

Fu Qiao's ears turned red from the excitement of these words, and he stuttered about what to say, but Bai Hua had already turned around and went upstairs, leaving him with a back view.

"Don't forget to come out to play on Thursday!" Fu Qiao reminded him with a suppressed voice.

Bai Hua turned her head, she couldn't see Fu Qiao's face clearly under the dim light, but she could see Fu Qiao's bright eyes clearly.

He whispered, "Shall we go eat fruitcake on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"

Fu Qiao probably didn't expect him to say this suddenly, but still nodded: "Of course."

Bai Hua went home very satisfied, and watched Fu Qiao walk away from behind the window.

The heavy snow seemed to become unscrupulous as the night progressed. The fur on Fu Qiao's hat was covered with snow, probably because he was cold. He covered his head with gloves, and walked out of Bai Hua's sight quickly.

Clear footprints are printed black on the flawless snow surface. Dawn is approaching, and the first ray of sunshine in the new year is about to rise, shining on the snow that has fallen all night.

Bai Hua and her mother moved to this city when they were in elementary school. They were unaccompanied and had no relatives who needed to visit.

From the beginning of the first day of junior high school, my mother continued to go back to the cleaning unit to go to work, and did not get home until dark every night.

Bai Hua took the initiative to take on the breakfast, dinner and housework, and prepared meals every day when her mother came back to eat together.

He had nothing to do during the day, so he could only do homework. As a result, he almost finished the homework left in the second year of junior high school.

There is nothing to tidy up in the small home, and the walls that turn dark no matter how hard you try to clean it, are barely sheltered from the wind and rain.

On the third day of junior high school, Bai Hua crossed off another day on the calendar. He fried vegetables and waited for his mother to come back.

He was so full of appointments the next day that he ate his dinner absent-mindedly.

At the dinner table, her mother murmured that her legs were hurting recently. Bai Hua heard it but didn't think much about it. She only asked her to wear thicker clothes. When she went to college, she could work part-time to make money, and she didn't have to work so hard.

After turning off the lights, Bai Hua placed the small alarm clock beside the bed, opened his eyes to listen to the ticking sound, and the luminous second hand turned slowly, running through his last few minutes and seconds without any haste.

The light green fluorescence slowly merged into the center, Bai Hua turned off the alarm clock before it rang, and said silently in her heart.

"Bai Hua, happy 19th birthday."

He pressed the pink crystal bracelet he had been wearing on his palm to his chest, and turned over.

The moonlight was hazy outside the window, and the cold wind was blowing.

Bai Hua closed her eyes, praying for a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow, he will share the birthday fruit cake with Fu Qiao and go to the amusement park, just like every child celebrating his birthday.
