Chapter 113 Happy New Year? Happy Birthday?
Chapter 113 Happy New Year? Happy Birthday?
Time flies, it slips by in a flash.
New Year's Day came in a blink of an eye. In order to reward everyone for their hard work throughout the year, Li Mubai specially invited everyone to have dinner at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.
Li Mubai, Jiang Li, Zhou Qian, Chen Luo, Sun Sao, Xiao Min and others sat at the same table without distinction of master or servant, and it was as lively as the Lunar New Year.
Although there were only six people, Li Mubai ordered quite a few dishes, and Zhou Qian was so generous that he toasted him three glasses of wine. That night, even the usually taciturn Chen Luo talked a lot more, and he and Zhou Qian drank happily.
Although Mrs. Sun and Xiao Min didn't drink much, they were so happy that their faces were flushed, as if they had posted Spring Festival couplets.
After dinner, Zhou Qian and his group wisely found a secluded place to play by themselves, showing with their actions that they would never disturb the boss's love affair.
Li Mubai and Jiang Li went up to the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and the scenery.
Although it was a bit windy today, Jiang Li didn't feel cold. Firstly, she had just had a full meal, and secondly, when she went out today, Li Mubai specifically told her to wear a thick coat, a scarf, and gloves. When she left the box just now, Li Mubai wrapped her up in three layers, not to mention the cold, she was sweating a little now.
According to the tradition over the years, fireworks would be set off on the sea at midnight on New Year's Day, and their location at that moment was the best place to watch the fireworks.
At twelve o'clock, the fireworks burst on time, and the sky suddenly became colorful and full of light.
Jiang Li has seen a lot of fireworks since she was a child, but this night's was the most shocking because she was closest to it and because of the people around her.
"Li Mubai, hurry up..."
Jiang Li turned her head and wanted to let Li Mubai see the fireworks that had just been set off, but when she turned her head, she could only see Li Mubai's deep eyes.
In those inky eyes, there were no colorful fireworks, only her shadow.
Before he could finish his words, a deep kiss was already pressed on his forehead.
For a moment, my skin seemed to be burned, more scorching than the fireworks in the sky.
"Happy New Year, Lili."
"Ah...happy...birthday."
……
Ah!
crazy!
What is she saying? !
Realizing what she had just said, Jiang Li even wanted to jump into the sea.
But of course she didn't have the chance to jump down, because her hand had been grabbed by Li Mubai, accompanied by his "chuckling" laughter.
"Although it's a bit early, I accepted it reluctantly."
Jiang Li was embarrassed and punched Li Mubai with her little pink fist.
"Don't laugh at me!"
"Okay, I won't laugh at you."
Although he said it was not a joke, Li Mubai couldn't help it. His shoulders shook from laughing. It was really too much.
But Li Mubai also paid a heavy price for his ruthless ridicule.
That is, when he wanted to move the kiss on her forehead down, Jiang Li turned her face away stubbornly, leaving him alone in the wind.
God knows.
If I knew the cost of that smile was so great.
He just...he stopped smiling!
Originally, he was planning to give Jiang Li a New Year's gift at midnight, but was interrupted by the words "Happy Birthday". Li Mubai was so busy smiling that he didn't have time to give it to her.
By the time he remembered, Jiang Li had already run away in anger. When he found her, Jiang Li was hiding in a corner, leaning on the railing to watch the night view. Her scarf had been untied and thrown aside. It seemed that she was very hot and very angry.
Li Mubai walked over with a smile and took out a small box from his pocket.
Jiang Li was admiring the night view of the harbor when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. When she lowered her head, she saw a round, red object dangling around her neck.
While they were still identifying each other, Li Mubai had already fastened the chain, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on Jiang Li's shoulder, and said aggrievedly: "The new year has begun, so don't be angry with me."
Jiang Li looked at the red jade locket around her neck, and for a moment she was overwhelmed with emotions. She had no time to be angry.
"Why would you buy it?"
"Didn't you look at it that day? You paid the longest attention to it."
"You know I've been looking at it the longest! Weren't you chatting that day?"
"I'm good at multitasking!"
"When did you buy it?"
"I bought it on the day of the jewelry exhibition, but later sent it for consecration, so I just got it back now."
Li Mubai specially asked someone to send this peace locket to Qingyun Temple, which is the most effective and popular temple for making wishes in Hong Kong. After it was consecrated, sutras were chanted for 49 days, and it was only brought back yesterday.
Li Mubai even thought, if it had been consecrated earlier and Jiang Li had worn this peace locket earlier, would the accident have been avoided at that time? But then he thought, fortunately it is not too late to give it now, and he hopes that it can bless Jiang Li for a long time in the future, and be safe day and night.
Jiang Li touched the cold peace locket, but her heart felt warm. It was really a happy feeling to be cherished and loved by others.
But despite being happy, Jiang Li still felt a little guilty.
"But I...but I didn't prepare a New Year's gift for you, what should I do?"
Li Mubai rubbed Jiang Li's head and said softly: "You accompanying me is the best gift for me."
This is a sincere statement. My New Year's wish every year has been to see her again.
Now that the new year has begun and she is really by his side, how can he dare to have any other extravagant hopes?
If there is, it is that he hopes she will stay with him forever, day and night, and never leave.
"Li Li, do you have any New Year's resolutions?"
Although she couldn't see Li Mubai, Jiang Li still reached back and touched his face.
"I hope you will be safe and happy throughout your life. May you be happy every year and have success in everything."
If you are like a rainbow, you will know it when you encounter it.
Li Mubai, since I met you, I know that this world can be so beautiful. I am lucky to be loved, and I am not afraid of time, mountains and seas. If I can be with you for the rest of my life, it is what my life is all about and what my heart desires.
"Lili, I also hope that you will be safe and happy every year."
No matter how noisy a city is, without you, it is an empty city. No matter how lonely a corner is, with you, it feels like home.
You are the one I want to show off to the whole world, but I can't bear to share with anyone. I like you, from night to dawn, from cold winter to warm spring, from the past to the future, from one second to a lifetime, endlessly, endlessly.
Even though your name consists of only two characters and cannot form a sentence, it has filled my heart.
In this life, no matter where you go, remember that there is someone waiting for you in this world.
