520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

The heavy, oppressive, and suffocating feeling that made it hard to breathe stuck to Xiang Huanian's heart, and he felt endlessly tired.

No one heard the pain Xiang Huanian was experiencing at this moment.

The fireworks in the distance were still ringing in the sky. The sky had become completely dark. The brilliant colors of the fireworks, the colorful and dazzling light, could not be reflected in Xiang Huanian's eyes.

What came to my ears was a sharp voice carrying an electric current, belonging to Chen Aifang.

Every word was like an invisible needle, directly and irresistibly piercing into the deepest part of Xiang Huanian's heart.

The fingers can only touch the surface of the skin, and the pain deep in the heart cannot be scratched or relieved. One can only let the needles prick his heart and turn it upside down. Even the slightest means of resistance is... helpless.

Xiang Huanian leaned against the back of the bench, feeling the increasingly strong wind around him as the sky darkened, blowing his hair all over the place. He had no intention of resisting it.

Looking at the stars in the sky, twinkling, flickering, bright or dim, under the brilliant and short-lived fireworks,

The stars are bright, but the moon is dim.

His consciousness was clear, but his body was getting heavier bit by bit.

Xiang Huanian gradually seemed to lose the sense of his own body.

At this moment, my eyelids seemed to be under a hundred times the force of gravity, and they were constantly falling down.

Drowsiness sets in.

Xiang Huanian knew very well that if he fell asleep now, in such an environment, it would be very dangerous, and most likely he would be in great danger... However, in such a situation, it would be very difficult for a person to climb out of the valley if he relied solely on himself.

"...Why don't you say a word? What's wrong? Do you think everything I say is unpleasant to the ear? Let me tell you, I'm your mother. I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice. What's that saying? If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences. Your mother has much more life experience than you, a little girl who hasn't even entered society yet..."

"You really don't know what's good for you. I'm here to give you some good advice, and you think I'm annoying... I've been called, so I'm going to stop talking. If I continue, I'm afraid you'll make me sick. You're on your own. I'm hanging up."

Xiang Huanian: "...I'm so tired."

The hand holding the mobile phone was blown by the cold wind for a long time. Even the slightest movement would make people grimace in discomfort. It was like a bone-eating insect, following the meridians where blood flow was not smooth, drilling into the bone marrow, and eating away Xiang Xuannian's nerves bit by bit.

It should be like this.

But Xiang Huanian just loosened his grip and let the phone fall gently onto the bench.

She just stared at the brighter stars in the night, and slowly and gently closed her eyes.

"I'm so sleepy... I really want to sleep... No, I can't, I can't sleep... I haven't spent all my money yet, I haven't bought a house, my little desk, my dream love cabinet... I haven't made any money from my novel yet... No... But I'm so tired..."

Can't move.

Xiang Huanian tried to struggle, but it was difficult.

The limbs that were once light and nimble became heavy and numb, as if they were frozen, and even bending them was difficult.

At the end of his blurred vision, Xiang Huanian saw snowflakes falling from the sky.

"It's snowing, huh?"

In the past, Xiang Huanian liked winter the most.

Because it snows in winter.

In winter, you can snuggle in a warm quilt and feel the security of being wrapped up whole body and soul.

Smelling the unique scent of the sun and clean soapberries on the quilt, and with the warm hot water bottle, I fell into a peaceful sleep.

Or wrapping up in a blanket, curling up on the sofa like a decadent rice bug, eating my favorite snacks, adding my favorite small drink with a icy and bubbly taste, and watching my favorite TV...

But later, going to school and work, I had to brave the biting cold wind, rain or shine, without a break, going to places I hated, going to positions I hated, doing homework and work I hated day after day, year after year...

Xiang Huanian's love for winter became fragmented.

And now.

This New Year, she couldn't get close to the warm stove. She could only be alone, by the deserted river, quietly waiting for time to pass... and perhaps for her life to pass.

Before Xiang Huanian's consciousness completely faded.

"Every year!"

Suddenly, an anxious call came from the distance.

The familiar voice and the panic in the other party's tone pulled Xiang Huanian's scattered spirit back from the brink in an instant.

"Gu, sir?"

Xiang Huanian opened his lips, which were numbed by the wind, and called out the other person's name with difficulty.

Gu Lingyan strode forward, breathing heavily after intense running, and came in front of Xiang Huanian.

"What are you doing here?"

It was a look of panic that Xiang Huanian had never seen before.

Also, anger.

"You... forget it, are you cold or not? You... why are you so stupid..."

Gu Lingyan didn't have time to catch his breath. He held Xiang Huanian's little face in his hands. Feeling the coldness in his palms, an indescribable feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

"How long have you been here? Why is it so cold..."

Gu Lingyan held Xiang Huanian's face with his slightly trembling hands, stroking it continuously, trying to transfer his warmth to him.

"Can you stand up? Let's go back now..."

Gu Lingyan held Xiang Huanian's hand and tried to pull Xiang Huanian up from the lifeless bench.

But Xiang Huanian suddenly laughed out loud.

"Mr. Gu..."

Xiang Huanian looked at the handsome face in front of him.

Gu Lingyan, who had always been calm and composed, as if he would remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, showed such a panicked expression towards him at this moment... Xiang Huanian felt that he seemed to be completely doomed.

Thinking of this, Xiang Huanian raised his hand and stroked Gu Lingyan's cheek with difficulty.

"I'm here, tell me."

Realizing Xiang Huanian's intention, Gu Lingyan took Xiang Huanian's hands into his palms and kept using the warmth of his cheeks to warm these ice-like hands.

Xiang Huanian had seen Gu Lingyan's handsome eyebrows, his straight nose, and his slightly red lips. Finally, he looked into Gu Lingyan's eyes, which were faintly watery, and were dark and shining, reflecting the fireworks that kept blooming in the sky, as well as the distant and unreachable stars in the sky.

But all he could think about was Xiang Huanian himself.

She just thought it was beautiful.

[He is, only belongs to me...]

"Mr. Gu, I like you too..."

As he spoke, Xiang Huanian used all his strength to pounce on Gu Lingyan, and gave him a light kiss on the eyes.
