Chapter 54 New Year's Eve

Xiao Wen looked up at Jiang Sui with a shy look on her face.

This was the first time Jiang Sui saw her with such an expression.

Xiao Wen thought for a while and finally told Jiang Sui and Li Ai the truth.

"Oh, it was arranged in high school. It's the equivalent of a business marriage."

Jiang Sui was a little surprised when he heard this, "Ah? Then why were you clamoring to pursue my brother before?"

Xiao Wen suddenly looked at Jiang Sui and said with a wicked smile, "That was before! Oh, don't worry, they won't rob you anyway!"

These words made the heat on Jiang Sui's face, which had just subsided, rise again. This made things worse, and even Xiao Wen could see through her thoughts.

"How could I?" Jiang Sui argued, changing the subject away from himself.

"Hey, who is Wenwen's fiancé? Why haven't I seen him?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Wen blushed and lowered his head.

Li Ai chuckled and told Jiang Sui, "You know him, and you know him very well!"

Jiang Sui's eyes widened even more, and he asked in surprise, "I know him very well? Who is he? Brother Haozi?"

Li Ai snorted, "Why did you think of that Tiehan? Does he look like someone who is qualified for a business marriage?"

Jiang Sui found it a little funny when he heard Li Ai describe Wu Chunhao like this.

"Brother Haozi is an idiot? It's funny to use this word to describe him."

When it comes to Wu Chunhao, Li Ai looks disgusted.

If a straight man tells a girl "I like you" on the first day he sees her, what else can he be but a complete fool?

Fortunately, Jiang Sui still remembered the question about Xiao Wen's fiancé, so he didn't laugh for too long and continued to ask, "Besides him, who else?"

"It's the bar owner!" Li Ai said suddenly excitedly.

"Is it Brother Jin?"

Jiang Sui looked at Xiao Wen in disbelief, "Brother Jin is your marriage partner? But your ages..."

Before Jiang Sui finished speaking, Li Ai interrupted him, "Sui Sui, why are you so old-fashioned? Isn't it popular to have a relationship with a young man and a young girl?"

Is she old-fashioned? Maybe.

She always felt that the age difference was a bit too big and she couldn't accept it.

Jiang Sui smacked his lips twice and didn't express any more of his own opinions.

She just asked Xiao Wen very seriously, "Wen Wen, what about you? What do you think?"

Xiao Wen no longer avoided the topic. She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't have any idea before. I thought it was a business marriage. Maybe it would fall through in a few days. We just met once at the engagement party, and then we went our separate ways and didn't interfere with each other or contact each other."

"But since we met Cui Jin at the bar last time, I suddenly felt that he was not unacceptable. At least he was not old mentally!"

Moreover, he was handsome, had good looks, and was invisible in upper-class circles, so there was no negative talk about him.

It is hard to find a man like this who is rich, handsome and has no gossip.

I used to think that Cui Jin was forced by his family and didn’t bother to look at a little girl like her.

But she didn't expect that after these two contacts, he actually took her seriously.

Just now on the stage, the two were punished by the host for cheating, but Cui Jin grabbed her and kissed her without hesitation.

After she got off the stage, she got angry, but he chased her and cornered her and asked her, "I can't kiss my fiancée? Do you want me to kiss someone else?"

It seemed that she couldn't refute this statement.

Seeing Xiao Wen's attitude, Jiang Sui didn't know what to say.

At this moment, music suddenly sounded slowly from the first floor, and the three of them looked downstairs at the same time.

"Hey, Sui Sui, look! It's God A. God A is standing on the stage with a microphone!"

After seeing the man in the white shirt on the stage, Li Ai was so surprised that she screamed Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui was the first to stand up from the sofa and leaned over the handrail on the second floor to look.

She just discovered that the person standing in the middle of the stage was Si Nian.

And this prelude of music...

It’s “Today”!

It’s Andy Lau’s song!

It was also Si Nian’s birthday gift to her!

At this moment, Jiang Sui was so excited that he didn't know how to express it.

She immediately turned around, walked out of the booth and ran towards the stairs.

"Hey, Suisui, where are you going?" Li Ai called her from behind.

"This is the song my brother sang for me. I have to go to the stage and listen closely."

Jiang Sui didn't look back. He just left this sentence and ran downstairs.

"As time goes by, I realize how imperfect the world is.

There is some illusion in success or failure”

When Jiang Sui struggled to squeeze to the front of the stage, Si Nian had already started singing the song seriously.

Jiang Sui stood quietly under the stage and looked at him. He lowered his head with a focused expression.

His voice is deep and magnetic, and the song sounds particularly gentle and moving when he sings it.

"How vast is the ocean, how deep is the river

Talents in the bureau understand

Life begins, whether you are willing or not, you have to finish it

I'm not afraid of being misunderstood by you.

Who hasn't been hurt and who hasn't shed tears?

Why do you have to hide in the darkness and feel sorry for yourself?

I keep being disappointed and keep hoping

I will taste the pain myself and share the laughter with you"

When he sang to this part, Si Nian suddenly raised his head and saw Jiang Sui, and his eyes were locked on her since then.

As Jiang Sui listened, he couldn't help but laugh with tears in his eyes.

The mood of this song unexpectedly fits Sinian's experience so well.

“Now I feel nervous even when I stand on the stage

If you want to fly high, forget the horizon

I have waited for a long time and finally waited until today

I've dreamed for a long time and finally realized it

The future is long and I can go on. Fortunately, you are by my side.

I have been waiting for a long time and finally today

After enduring for a long time, my dream finally came true

Those unchanging wind and frost no longer matter

I don’t say I’m tired even if I’m tired.”

Si Nian had already sung half of the song "Today" when Wu Chunhao and Cui Jin stood on Jiang Sui's left and right sides without him noticing.

"Little girl, is this song for you?"

Cui Jin moved his head closer to Jiang Sui and asked her curiously.

Jiang Sui's eyes were still on Si Nian. While Si Nian was waiting for the interlude, she answered, "That should be the case... I thought he would ignore my ridiculous request!"

Cui Jin nodded in understanding, but then suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "Since you found out about his incident, do you think this song is particularly suitable for him?"

Jiang Sui didn't answer him this time. Si Nian had already started singing the second verse, but his eyes were always looking at him.

Thinking about her discovery during the day, Jiang Sui felt that this day was really special, so special that she also wanted to say something to Si Nian.

Perhaps he was also expressing something to himself through this song.

Jiang Sui's cheeks began to feel hot again.

"Hey, girl, I have to congratulate you first. You may get what you want tonight!"

Cui Jin suddenly spoke beside her again.

Jiang Sui knew what he was talking about, but she was a little shy now, so she pretended not to understand.

"Brother Jin is teasing me again. I don't have any wishes, so how can I congratulate you?"

Hearing her say this, Cui Jin didn't point it out, but snorted and laughed, "Then just wait and see!"

At this time, Si Nian had just finished singing a song, and there was applause and cheers from the audience.

Most of the guests who came to the New Year's Eve party were regular customers of the bar, and naturally they had all met Si Nian before.

Someone in the audience shouted, "Handsome bartender, where is the pretty girl you just kissed on stage? Is this song for her?"

Si Nian did not answer, but just bowed and walked off the stage, handing the stage over to the host.

There are only a dozen minutes left until the new year, and it's time to start the countdown.

After a while, Si Nian appeared under the stage and strode towards Jiang Sui.

Some sharp-eyed guests also noticed that Jiang Sui was standing in the direction Si Nian was walking towards, so at once, accompanied by shouts and whistles, the crowd began to squeeze in their direction.

Soon, Si Nian walked up to Jiang Sui, grabbed her wrist and said to Cui Jin, "Sorry, Brother Jin, I have to leave early today!"

Cui Jin didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.

Then Si Nian pulled Jiang Sui through the crowded crowd to the bar, took his and Jiang Sui's coats from another bartender, and pulled her to continue walking towards the door of the bar.

Before leaving, he stopped and put Jiang Sui's coat on her, buttoning it up one by one.

Then after putting on his coat, he hung a black down jacket on one arm and held Jiang Sui's hand with the other, ready to go out.

Jiang Sui was a little confused, so he pulled him aside and asked, "Brother, it's almost midnight, where are we going? Aren't we going to count down to the New Year together?"

Si Nian smiled at her tenderly, ruffled her hair and said, "Let me take you to another place to celebrate the New Year!"

Jiang Sui was still immersed in Si Nian's sudden gentle words and before he could react, he was dragged out of the bar by Si Nian.

Si Nian took Jiang Sui around to the main entrance of the building where the bar was located. After entering, they took the elevator straight to the top floor of the building.

In the middle, Jiang Sui asked Si Nian again suspiciously, "Where are we going?"

Si Nian just smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator stopped and the door opened.

Si Nian pushed Jiang Sui's back and walked out of the elevator slowly.

After coming out, Jiang Sui discovered that this floor should be the office of a certain company. It was almost midnight and the New Year was approaching. Through a glass door, Jiang Sui saw that the company was empty. It was pitch black everywhere , with only a dim light on in the elevator room.

Jiang Sui couldn't help but feel even more confused, and she looked at Si Nian.

Si Nian took her directly to the emergency exit sign, found a door and turned into the stairwell.

Maybe because not many people come in usually, the corridor is dark and cramped, with a musty smell.

Si Nian walked in front, pulling Jiang Sui up the stairs carefully.

The two walked up one more floor and then went out through a security door.

The moment the door opened, Jiang Sui's eyes suddenly opened.

There is a small semicircular terrace with half-person-high fence handrails around it, and flashing solar-powered colored lights are hung on them.

Jiang Sui left Si Nian behind and immediately trotted to the fence, put his hands on the handrail, and looked into the distance.

The building under your feet is very tall. Standing here you can basically overlook most of Shenhai City.

The colorful neon lights of the city in front of me and the taillights of the cars flowing on the road in the distance are all extremely bright and dazzling.

It's a bit cold outside.

Jiang Sui couldn't help shaking his hands, leaning on the handrail and exclaiming, "So this is the night view of Shenhai, so beautiful!"

As soon as Jiang Sui finished speaking, there seemed to be a faint sound of bells coming from the distance, one by one, from far to near.

At the same time, the fireworks that suddenly rose into the sky instantly lit up the dark blue night sky.

At this time, the black down jacket fell on Jiang Sui's shoulders, and Si Nian's low and pleasant voice came from behind her.

"Happy New Year, Sui Sui!"
