Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

When I was a child, the New Year atmosphere was strong, but when I grew up, it was gone? I used to think so, but I think it’s not that the New Year atmosphere is gone, but that people have changed, and their hearts have changed.

"My dear audience friends, I miss you so much!" A familiar voice appeared on the screen. It turns out that old artists are the most interesting.

Beep, beep! My cell phone vibrated at this moment. It was a text message from Tang Xin. When I saw the words on it, my heart ached.

[Xiao Meng, where are you? Can I come find you? ]

The author says:

I was shocked. I saw that the clicks, votes and comments of the novel with a few thousand words were several times more than mine. I know that the first few chapters were not well written. I feel bad.

Chapter 17 New Year's Eve

【Where are you? 】I immediately sent a message back.

【I am in Yintai Plaza. 】

【Please wait, I'll be there soon. 】

I jumped up from the sofa and stuffed the gifts next to the TV into their hands.

"Aunt, sister, this is a New Year's gift for you. I have to go out for a while, so I'll give the gift to you first."

"What happened?" Auntie looked at my anxious face and said worriedly, "Is your boyfriend going to break up with you?"

"What?" I glared at her and ran out. "If you come back too late, you can lock the door and go to sleep. I have the key with me. Auntie, can I borrow your bike?"

"Don't ride too fast, be safe."

"Okay, I got it." Although I agreed, the pedals still squeaked and the speed increased. However, the bicycle was too old and a casual women's model. The tires were too small and the sitting position was too straight, so I couldn't go very fast.

My home is actually not far from Yintai Plaza, only about three kilometers away. After a while, I rode safely to the parking lot in the plaza, parked the bike, stepped on the footrest, locked the bike in one go, and turned around and ran into the square.

Because it is New Year's Eve, the usually deserted and spacious square is now crowded with people setting up stalls, having fun, holding activities, and buying things. It is very lively.

"Beep, beep, beep." I immediately dialed Tang Xin's number, hoping to find her in the crowd.

"Hey."

The voice on the other end of the phone was so soft that it made my heart ache.

"Where are you? I'm at the square." I calmed my breath and asked her.

“I’m next to the big stage.”

I turned around and saw a small figure in red clothes, holding a phone. There was no one around him. He looked a little out of place and a little lonely.

"Hey, here I come!"

I ran over and patted her shoulder. She turned her head, her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears.

"Xiao Meng!" Tang Xin rushed over, laid on my shoulder, and started crying softly.

"Be good, don't cry, Tang Xin is the best." I patted her back gently, "Can you tell me what happened?"

"I had a fight with my parents..."

"And then you ran out alone?"

"Well, I ran away when they weren't paying attention."

"Running away from home?"

"Hmm..." Hearing the words "running away from home", Tang Xin's body trembled, "Will Xiaomeng think I'm a bad kid?"

"No way." I took out a napkin and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Tang Xin is so well behaved, how could she be a bad kid?"

"But I ran away from home." She pouted and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Tang Xin is so well behaved, your parents must have forced you to do something unhappy again." I touched her head, but we were about the same height, so it was a bit reluctant.

"They threw away the story outline I wrote." As she spoke, her tears flowed again. "I wrote it for a long, long time. How could they...how could they just throw it away like that?"

Girls are really made of water. As they spoke, tears flowed out like a reservoir releasing floodwater.

"Don't cry, don't cry." I became anxious all of a sudden and kept wiping her tears with a napkin. "I still remember it, I'm sure I can write it back."

At this time, I saw an old lady selling candied haws not far away, so I quickly diverted Tang Xin's attention: "I'll buy you something to eat, okay?"

It worked a little bit. The little girl gradually stopped crying. So I took her hand and walked towards the old lady.

"Mother-in-law, give us two skewers, how much is it?"

"Eight dollars."

So, we each took a group, holding hands and slowly began to stroll around the square.

"Is it delicious?" I ate one and turned to ask her.

"It's delicious. I've never eaten it before." After wiping away her tears, Tang Xin's little face returned to its former sweetness and loveliness, but there was still a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyes.

"Mom and Dad won't buy it for me," she added.

I quickly changed the subject and said, "You are wearing really beautiful clothes today."

Of course, this is true. The red velvet coat on the little girl is a new product. The white warm socks and snow-white leather boots make her look like a princess from Disney. In comparison, I wear more ordinary clothes, ordinary down jackets and ordinary thick jeans. No matter how you look at it, I am just a green leaf next to a red flower.

"Xiao Meng is more beautiful." The little girl's face turned slightly red, and she seemed to enjoy my praise.

Suddenly, a couple walked in front of us and almost bumped into us. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, and they looked like they were spending the night together. They almost knocked us down, and they were very sorry and kept saying sorry.

No one wants to be unhappy in the New Year.

"Happy New Year, little sister and big brother, I wish you all a happy marriage and get married soon." I smiled happily and wished them well.

The two of them didn't expect me to answer like that, and they were so happy that they couldn't stop praising Tang Xin and me for being cute and sensible. Before leaving, they gave us a bag of chocolates, saying that it was an apology.

Looking at their departing backs, Tang Xin suddenly said, "I don't want to get married. If Xiaomeng gets married in the future, will she gradually move away from me?"

I was stunned. I didn't expect the little girl to say something like this so suddenly: "We are only in junior high school. Marriage is still a long way off for us."

"Will Xiaomeng leave me too?"

"No way." I shook my head.

"Then we are best friends? Best friends for life." Tang Xin suddenly became happy.

"of course."

At this moment, I just regarded her words as a child's joke. Many years later, when I recalled today, I realized that Tang Xin was definitely a terrifying person who hid her true colors. She had long regarded me as her hunting target, and I naively thought she was a little white rabbit.

A huge firework exploded in the sky not far away, and a bang sound was heard after a while.

"Shall we go set off fireworks?" Tang Xin slowly recovered from her disappointment and looked at me expectantly.

"Okay, let's go buy some first."

Seeing her get out of her sadness, I was happy to accompany her in having fun, but the owner of the roadside fireworks stall didn't think so.

"Where are your adults? You are too young, I won't sell you fireworks. Fireworks are too dangerous for you." This was a middle-aged man with a black beard. Combined with what he was selling, he looked like someone holding up dynamite and shouting "Alahuqaqa". At this moment, he was protecting the cart full of fireworks with his hands, not letting us take any.

"Huh? Is that so?" Tang Xin felt a little disappointed.

"Just sell me some fairy wands. They're not dangerous." I quickly tried to please the shopkeeper. "You shouldn't embarrass yourself by doing this business."

The owner's attitude obviously softened, and he seemed to be considering whether to buy us.

"But I want to see the powerful one!"

This time it was my turn to look at her in surprise. Girls, please be reserved. Let’s first think about whether we can afford the big fireworks. I wouldn’t dare to set them off even if you gave me the courage.

...

Finally, I said goodbye to the uncle with black beard with a bundle of fairy wands in my hand.

Walking to an open space, I took out the lighters we had just bought and lit one for Tang Xin first. With a slight hissing sound, golden sparks burst out from the lit end, flew halfway and split again, forming clusters of beautiful little sparks.

"It's so beautiful!" Tang Xin had obviously never played with this thing before. She looked disappointed just now, but now she was grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing Tang Xin jumping around with the sparkler in her hand, I couldn't help but remind her.

"Be careful not to get sparks in your eyes or on your clothes."

"Know it!"

She obviously didn't know.

"Ah, it's gone. Next one, next one." Tang Xin ran in front of me, impatiently.

"well."

So I lit another one for her, and we played with it over and over again. After a few, she gradually got bored. But she still had at least a dozen cigarettes in her hand.

"It seems like I bought too much." She stuck out her tongue, looking a little cute.

"Let's do something fun. Give me your phone." Now it's my turn to take action as a master of making fun of others.

"Here, here you go." She said and handed over the phone in her pocket. Wow, it was an iPhone 3G, a master of super powers.

"Wait a minute." The little girl suddenly grabbed the phone again, unlocked the screen and hurriedly scribbled something, but I just glanced at it and saw

Dozens of missed calls and text messages.

Switch to flight mode. Looking at the no signal on my phone, I sighed secretly. The little girl still doesn't intend to pay attention to her parents.

"Come on, after you light it, draw a circle in the air and I'll take a picture of you."

"it is good."

Although she didn't understand why, she did it anyway, and when the long-exposure photo was taken, she looked like Doctor Strange. When she saw the picture, her jaw dropped.

"So beautiful! Xiaomeng is amazing. Come on, take a few more pictures."

In this way, the remaining dozen or so fairy wands had a new mission. Of course, there were many more strange photos in her mobile phone, including snakes, eight-character patterns, and all kinds of patterns. The little girl had a lot of fun.

"Ah, Xiaomeng didn't play." Looking at the last remnant of the fairy wand in her hand, Tang Xin realized that she had used up all the fireworks.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've played it with my sister at home." The truth is that I almost vomited from playing it in my previous life. This kind of thing is only played by sissies. I played the kind that made fried cow dung.

"What a shame. Let's take a picture together."

"Okay."
