Ye Jian shook her head and smiled. “No, but it’s a little dangerous since the road is frozen. It’s better to carry the child.”
The child was only three or four years old, and it was late at night. It would be safer for the mother to carry the child in her arms.
It was uncertain if it was because of Ye Jian’s conviction that made people believe her, but the young mother was reminded. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately hugged the child in her arms and thanked Ye Jian uneasily. She then asked another young mother to carry her own child. The seven of them suddenly sped up and left.
Xia Jinyuan’s calm and reassuring voice came from the earpiece again. “That child is honest and has a bright future.”
Ye Jian had just finished thinking about his childish nature when he spoke up.
Ye Jian exhaled, forming a cloud of white mist. She put her hands back into her coat pockets and continued to walk forward. The shops on both sides of the street began to put down their shutter doors one by one. The sound of footsteps could be heard.
There were fireworks set off somewhere, and with a bang, they exploded in the sky. Then, countless more shot into the sky with a swish. There was even a spark at the back that was instantly extinguished, leaving behind the smell of smoke.
Ye Jian raised her eyes slightly and looked up into the sky. The dazzling fireworks decorated the snowy night. It was the beginning of another year. After tonight, she would welcome her new beginning.
Ye Jian didn’t walk straight. Instead, she swayed as if she were drunk. Occasionally, she would walk under the shade of a tree so that Sun Ying, who was tiptoeing behind her, would sneer.
To walk to the small hotel where Ye Jian was temporarily staying, they had to pass through the entire farmer’s market and take a shortcut around a market with cement platforms. Then, they had to walk across the road to the small hotel.
When they reached the end of the market, all the shops had already closed. Only the street lamps were dimly lit. The snow covered the debris that fell during the day. The firecrackers that had exploded into small red flowers earlier left remnants on the ground, which Ye Jian stepped over. When her footprints landed, the snow and the red remnants of the firecrackers completely merged into one. It looked like red leaves on the ground, adding to the coldness of the atmosphere.
It was very quiet. Ye Jian, who had hidden herself in the dark, heard the sound of snow grinding. She pressed her earpiece with her slender fingers and smiled at Xia Jinyuan, who was also in the dark. “Someone is starting to panic.”
She quickly received a reply. “There are also people who feel that it’s not lively enough tonight and can’t help but come out to join in the fun. White Crane and the others are also nearby. If you succeed, they’ll reel in the net. After tonight, we can probably go out for a drink together.”
“Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. We’re all doing drills during the new year. Since we can meet in the Southern Province, we really do have to have a good drink together. Captain Xia, why don’t you be the host?”
Her voice was gentle and playful, making the cold atmosphere suddenly relax.
“Sure. At the same time, I’ll announce my relationship with you and make them give up. How about that?” He also smiled. His soft voice landed in her heart and bloomed like a flower, making the smile on Ye Jian’s lips deepen.
She didn’t want him to come, but he still came. In this life, she stood where she had fallen in her previous life. It felt good to have him by her side…
Unfortunately, she didn’t meet such a good man in her past life.. If she had met him then… would the trajectory of her life be different?
