Chapter 87: 2022, everything wins

Like many ordinary couples, Ji Ran and Su Mei watched a movie together after dinner, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening when they came out of the theater.

Due to the New Year's Eve, there were still many pedestrians on the road at this time, and they seemed to be rushing in one direction spontaneously in pairs. Ji Ran observed it for a while and said strangely: "Susu, look at how they all go there. Come on, is there any activity there?"

"Yeah." Su Mei glanced at Ji Ran with a smile, "Miss Ji didn't do a good job of this strategy. She didn't even know about the New Year's Eve event in City G."

"Without you, I'm not interested in any New Year's Eve activities." Ji Ran grabbed Su Mei's hand and hummed.

Looking at Ji Ran, who looked like a large canine, Su Mei rubbed her head amusingly: "Dear, there will be a light show at the Jingji Pagoda at 11:30, the people of G City should want to cross there together. New Year's celebration, let's go have a look together."

"Okay." Ji Ran frowned, as long as he was with Su Mei, he would be happy wherever he went.

When the two arrived at the Jingji Pagoda at about half past ten, the light show was still about an hour before the start of the light show, but the Jingji Pagoda was already full of people. Many people bought fluorescent headbands to wear on their heads from hawkers, some were carrying small red lanterns, and some wore anklets that flickered. Ji Ran thought, even without night lights, it is estimated that It will be bright here too.

People here are either in pairs, calling friends or dragging their families together, or in twos or threes or in groups. They chat and laugh happily, as if no matter how many troubles they usually have, they are all at this moment. Forgotten, they gathered under the tower, looking forward to the arrival of the new year, as if after this zero point, everything will be reborn.

Ji Ran took Su Mei to the bottom of a tree. Although there were still a lot of people, there was still an open space to sit on. Perhaps because of the joy of welcoming the New Year, everyone sat on the lawn without any concern. Without paving anything, Ji Ran and Su Mei just sat on the soft grass just like them.

There was still a slight chill on the ground at night, but perhaps because there were too many people, the chill seemed to be undetectable. Ji Ran leaned on Su Mei with his arms crossed and whispered in the noisy voice: "Su Su, are you cold?"

Su Mei shook her head, imitating Ji Ran's way, and looked at the tall Jingji Pagoda with her hands around her knees.

Looking down, Jingji Pagoda is really high, as if towering into the sky, even if there is no light show, the translucent tower is very beautiful at night.

Ji Ran unhappily poked Su Mei's arm and shouted, "Susu..."

"Huh?" Su Mei looked back at Ji Ran with some doubts in her eyes.

"Susu, are you really not cold?" Ji Ran said aggrievedly.

Su Mei raised her eyebrows and said amusedly, "Do you think I'm cold or not?"

"I think you're cold." Ji Ran said firmly.

"Oh, then I'll be cold." Su Mei said like a tool man.

"Oh Susu, it's alright, you won't be cold when I hold you." Ji Ran's smile burst like fireworks. She grabbed Su Mei's wrist with one hand and pulled her gently, pulling her into her own. In her arms, the other hand consciously wrapped around Su Mei's waist, in the vast night, in the noise of the crowd, she embraced her beloved, and whispered in her ear, "Susu, yes Isn't it cold?"

Su Mei, who was caught off guard, threw half of her body into Ji Ran's arms and felt Ji Ran's shallow breathing in her ear. The star-like sparkling Jingliang's expression softened. She obeyed her will and leaned her whole body into Ji Ran's arms, with a faint smile on her lips: "Well, it's not cold anymore."

At 11:30, the light show of Jingji Pagoda started on time, and the surrounding street lights and Jingji Pagoda were all extinguished at once. In the dark night, only the fluorescent lights around people or their heads or feet flickered. After a while, there was music from the broadcast, and the tower body glowed with colorful light with the music, and the beams slowly lit up, and then kept flashing around the tower body from bottom to top, playing a light show in the colorful light. the prelude.

At the end of the song, the Jingji Pagoda is still changing its light, and the drones that have been launched into the sky suddenly burst into light. They are flying and hovering in the night sky, changing one shape after another, and the little light is shining in Jingji. Against the background of the seven-color halo of the tower, it is particularly lively and lovely, making the people around it exclaim in admiration.

"Susu, she's so beautiful." At this time, everyone stood up, and Ji Ran and the others also stood side by side. Seeing that the drone show came to an end, Ji Ran looked back at Su Mei and said happily.

"Yeah." Su Mei replied with a smile, tightening the hands of the two of them, raising her eyes to look at the night sky, her eyes no longer had the emptiness of looking at the night sky before.

The light show lasted for half an hour. At midnight, the flashing lights suddenly stopped, and they were attached to the tower with a gentle glow. On the ring screen at the top of the tower, two lines of characters appeared. It is surrounded by the tower, so that people in all directions of the Pagoda can see it.

"2022, everything will be successful!"

I don’t know who first shouted the words on the tower, and then shouted one after another, and finally formed a huge wave, whistling like a gust of wind and waves, but the people in it became more enthusiastic, over and over again. Shouting again and again: "2022, everything will be successful!"

Ji Ran and Su Mei were also infected. They looked at each other and shouted into the night sky along with the tide: "2022, everything will be successful!"

The text through the pole continued to surround for about three minutes, and then slowly dimmed as the entire tower slowly faded, and finally returned to darkness.

At the end of the New Year's Eve event, people gradually dispersed around. In the crowded crowd, Ji Ran was not in a hurry to pull Su Mei away. She and Su Mei stayed under the tree for a while, and waited until the crowd was almost gone. Only then did Su Mei pull up from the ground and prepare to take a taxi back to the hotel.

But even after waiting for a while, there are still too many people coming to New Year's Eve. Ji Ran looked at the three-digit queue number on his phone and said helplessly to Su Mei: "Su Su, there are so many people taking taxis, it's far from the hotel. It's not far, why don't we go back?"

"Okay, let's go back."

Turning on the navigation, Ji Ran led Su Mei to the hotel while looking at the phone. As the crowd dispersed, the cold of the night hit, Ji Ran shrank his neck, put the hand that was holding Su Mei's in his pocket, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "Su Su, okay. chilly."

Su Mei paused after hearing this, Ji Ran was forced to stop and looked at her suspiciously, only to see Su Mei's lips curled into a smile, gently pulling the hands of the two, Ji Ran's body couldn't help but lean forward and plunged into it. In Su Mei's embrace, Su Mei wrapped around Ji Ran's waist, held her tightly in her embrace, and whispered in her ear with a low hoarse voice, "Is it still cold?"

How could she not know, when did Su Mei become a good student?

Knowing that Su Mei was making fun of herself, Ji Ran couldn't help but blush in her ears. She shook her head gently, her heart was beating so fast, her Susu was too good.

The two embraced each other for a moment, the heat surged in Ji Ran's body, how could there be any coldness just now, she tugged at Su Mei's clothes and said softly, "Su Su, let's go back."

"Okay." Su Mei replied warmly, letting go of Ji Ran in her arms.

The two of them strolled down the street and walked back unhurriedly. Ji Ran liked the feeling of the two walking hand in hand, as if they could walk side by side until they became whiteheads. If it wasn't too late and the night was too cold, she would really wish could walk with Su Mei a little longer.

When they approached the door of the hotel, the two saw a shivering brown puppy on the side of the road. It was only four or five months old. It was curled up on a cardboard box on the ground. In the cardboard box was a knocked over dog. When he saw Ji Ran and Su Mei approaching, he let out a whimpering sound and kept tugging at the wall of the cardboard box, like a child asking for help.

"Who is so immoral to leave such a small dog here!" Ji Ran said to Su Mei angrily.

Su Mei is also frowning, such a small dog, without any warm objects, if you really stay outside for one night, even if you don't freeze to death, you will get frostbite.

Ji Ran took Su Mei and squatted in front of the cardboard box. She reached out and touched the whimpering dog, only to see that the puppy was very well-behaved and let Ji Ran touch it, and rubbed Ji Ran's palm affectionately, carefully He stretched out his tongue and licked Ji Ran's cool fingertips, which almost melted Ji Ran's heart.

Feeling the puppy's closeness, Ji Ran frowned in embarrassment. She likes small animals very much. The two little stray cats she wanted to adopt were confiscated for various reasons. Now this dog only needs her If you take it away, she will go with her, but does Su Mei like it? Will she be willing to adopt it herself?

Just when Ji Ran hesitated to ask Su Mei's opinion, Su Mei's hand was already on Ji Ran's hair, she lightly touched the end of Ji Ran's hair, and said gently, "If you want to raise it, we will bring it back. home."

"Really?" Ji Ran's happy eyes were bright, but he still asked Su Mei, "Su Su, don't you mind that the house is full of hair in the future?"

"It's okay, I don't mind." Su Mei looked at the little milk dog, and decided to prove it with her own actions. I saw that she stretched out her fingertips and scratched the puppy's jaw lightly, and the puppy narrowed his eyes comfortably, his tail wagging like a rattle, very cute.

"Susu, it likes you very much." Ji Ran looked at Su Mei's interaction with the little milk dog, and frowned with a smile.

Su Mei just smiled lightly, then let go of the two holding hands, and hugged the puppy into her arms, warming the poor little thing with her own warmth.

Ji Ran, who was released, was stunned, seeing only the puppy without Su Mei in his eyes, he couldn't help but flatten his mouth and said aggrieved: "Susu, why do I think it starts to talk to you before you bring it home. Am I fighting for favor?"

Su Mei glanced at Ji Ran, her lips curled into a smile: "Promising."

"No, no, Susu can only like me the most!" After speaking, Ji Ran reached out and nodded the puppy's nose, and said solemnly, "You are not allowed to compete with me, Susu is my own Susu, you know Yet?"

Looking at Ji Ran who warned the dog in a serious manner, the smile on Su Mei's lips deepened, and she saw that she also touched the furry puppy's head, imitating Ji Ran's expression and said solemnly: "Of course I am alone. Of course, you can't rob, understand?"

The puppy who had been warned repeatedly looked at the two of them in confusion, blinked his big eyes like grapes, whimpered, and wagged his tail, as if to say, "I know, you two don't follow. I have a show!"

Ji Ran and Su Mei looked at each other, and both smiled at the childish behavior just now, and couldn't help laughing.
