he summer winter

The last weekend before New Year's Day.

Xia Yue went to work for the last few days of the year, and Chi Lidong went home alone to see his mother.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of stewed pork ribs with Cordyceps.

A guest came today.

Mrs. Chi and Jiang Li surrounded the kitchen, watching the aunt who was invited by the family to stew meat. Jiang Li even wore an apron and helped the aunt from time to time.

"Mom," Chi Lidong stood at the door of the kitchen with a bouquet of red roses in his arms, and said, "Jiang Li is here."

Jiang Li turned her head, revealing two dimples, and called out, "Brother."

Mrs. Chi talked with her son on the phone last night and knew that he came back today by himself to pick up the flowers. In fact, he liked them. She smiled and said critically: "Why did you buy flowers again? The ones I bought last time haven't wilted yet, and they bloomed very well. Li also brought me flowers today, I don't have so many vases to put them in."

Chi Lidong smiled and said, "I'll buy you some more vases later."

The mother and son talked, Jiang Li didn't interrupt, just listened with a smile.

Madam Chi saw that the meat was also stewing on the fire, and said, "Let's stop in the kitchen and go out to talk."

The three sat outside.

Chi Lidong didn't talk much, he listened to the gossip of two women, one big and one small.

Mrs. Chi liked Jiang Li very much, and said: "I always wanted to have a daughter. Before Dongdong went to school when he was a child, I bought him a lot of little skirts, dressed him up as a little girl, and secretly had a daughter's addiction. .I'll show you the pictures, I'll keep them."

She took out her phone and showed Jiang Li the photo album.Since she got a big-screen mobile phone, she has taken many old photos at home with her mobile phone, which saves a lot of trouble than moving out a thick photo album.

Chi Lidong was very embarrassed: "Mom."

Mrs. Chi laughed and said, "Look at how happy you are wearing it. Your father asked you to take it off, but you still cried and refused."

Jiang Li laughed while watching, and said, "My brother was so cute when he was young."

After lunch, she sat down for a while. Mrs. Chi had the habit of taking a nap, so she felt sleepy.Jiang Li then said that she was going back to school.

Mrs. Chi said: "Dongdong, take Jiang Li back."

Jiang Li said, "I'll just take the subway."

Chi Lidong said: "Farewell, it's too cold, you have to walk a long way to get off the subway."

Jiang Li said: "Then I will trouble you brother."

Chi Lidong: "It should."

On the way back to school.

Chi Lidong asked: "How is your sister these days?"

Jiang Li said: "It's much better, and the company's affairs are slowly getting on the right track. She said that you helped her a lot by enlightening her last time."

Chi Lidong nodded.He and Jiang Li had nothing to say, whether on the phone or in person, the only topics he could initiate were Jiang Qi or the deceased Mr. Jiang.Usually it was Jiang Li who brought the rhythm.

Jiang Li said: "Auntie said you are going out to play on New Year's Day, where are you going?"

Chi Lidong said: "Chengdu."

Jiang Li said, "Are you going with your friends?"

Chi Lidong said: "Yes, together with Xia Yue."

He thought, quickly ask what is the relationship between them!Then he can declare his ownership of Xia Yue openly.

"Chengdu is quite fun," Jiang Li said, "It's just that the food is too spicy, and I'm not used to it."

She didn't ask, Chi Lidong was a little disappointed, and said, "I'm okay with spicy food."

Jiang Li said: "Then do you like seafood? Steam seafood?"

Chi Lidong said: "It's okay."

Jiang Li said: "There are a few in Beijing, but the taste is not as good as in Tianjin. Any restaurant in Tianjin is very good, and it depends on luck in Beijing."

Chi Lidong: "Yes."

Jiang Li looked at him, smiled, and said, "Brother, you must have never had a girlfriend."

Chi Lidong didn't quite understand what she meant.

She said, "You have absolutely no idea what a girl is thinking."

Chi Lidong said: "It's hard to guess what you girls are thinking."

Jiang Li said: "Then what do you think of my sister?"

Chi Lidong was caught off guard.

Jiang Li said sincerely: "I really think you are quite suitable, why don't you think about it?"

Chi Lidong said: "No way...Jiang Li, I haven't had a girlfriend, but I have a boyfriend."

Jiang Li: "..."

Chi Lidong almost couldn't help laughing, he held back forcefully, and said, "He—you've seen him too, it's Xia Yue."

Jiang Li: "...Oh."

Sending her back to school, she got out of the car, bent slightly, and bid farewell to Chi Lidong in the car, with a slight smile on her face, but she could still feel a little disappointed.

Chi Lidong's show off was over, and he thought a little guiltyly, was he too proud just now?So ruthlessly broke a girl's heart.

He detoured to see the house under renovation, and then went to the shopping mall after he came out, wandering around in several luxury counters, he couldn't make up his mind.

He wanted to prepare a New Year's gift for Xia Yue.

clothing?Xia Yue's suits are all high-end, and accessories such as ties and tie clips are too perfunctory as gifts.

watch?Chi Lidong doesn't quite trust his own aesthetics, maybe he just picked a style that Xia Yue doesn't like.

jewelry?Ditto.

purse?Ditto again.

In the end, he found to his frustration that he might not be able to surprise Xia Yue when it came to giving gifts.

Just give me a watch, Xia Yue likes watches very much.

I chose a few new watches at the Cartier counter, put them together and took a photo, sent it to Xia Yue, and asked, "Baby, which one do you like?"

After more than a minute, Xia Yue replied: "Second from the left."

Chi Lidong happily bought the one he mentioned.

When the two met at night, they didn't mention the watch, and tacitly pretended that it didn't exist.

Xia Yue asked: "You said you went to see your aunt today, did you go?"

Chi Lidong said: "Go, she told me to tell you to pay attention to your health, don't just focus on your work."

He didn't mention meeting Jiang Li today, feeling unnecessary.

Xia Yue said: "Sign the contract the day after tomorrow, and you can rest for a few days after signing. How about having dinner with Auntie the night after tomorrow?"

Chi Lidong said: "Okay."

Xia Yue said: "Eat hot pot, just at home."

Chi Lidong: "Okay."

Xia Yue said: "Call your friends, Auntie likes to be lively."

Chi Lidong realized later that this was what his mother said before, when he asked Wang Qi to go to the house with him, and there were so many people.

Xia Yue: "Let's make an appointment now, if the appointment is late, I won't be free."

Chi Lidong asked: "You... want to see him?"

Xia Yue said: "We must meet formally."

Chi Lidong observed his face carefully, but couldn't see anything.

Xia Yue frowned and said, "Don't look at me, call."

Chi Lidong slowly picked up his phone and looked at Xia Yue again.

Xia Yue: "Look at me again!"

Chi Lidong dialed Wang Qi's number and asked him to eat hot pot at home the day after tomorrow.

Wang Qi: "Not the day after tomorrow. We have arrangements. Let's make an appointment after New Year's Day."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Lidong reported in the original words.

Xia Yue didn't talk about it anymore, and said, "Have you booked your flight ticket? It's to Chengdu."

Chi Lidong said: "Not yet, didn't you say that you are afraid that you won't be able to go because of something."

Xia Yue said: "Now I'm sure it's all right, let's order it."

Chi Lidong booked two tickets to Chengdu on the 31st.

Xia Yue said: "Hotel?"

Chi Lidong said: "Shangri-La?"

Xia Yue thought for a while and said, "What's the name of the house we lived in before?"

Chi Lidong said his name, and searched in the APP again. The room rate is similar to that of an express hotel. It can be foreseen that the conditions are still not very good, so he hesitated: "Are you sure you want to live in it?"

Xia Yue said disgustedly: "It can't live. Why hasn't it closed down yet?"

Chi Lidong laughed: "At any rate, it's the place where our bridal chamber is decorated, can't you look forward to it?"

Xia Yue remembered something, blushed a little, took the book, opened it, and looked down.

Chi Lidong also thought of it, his face blushed, and he said, "My wife."

Xia Yue: "...um."

Chi Lidong said softly, "I love you."

Xia Yue raised his head, eyes full of love, but said: "Is that so, I don't love you."

"Then what should we do?" Chi Lidong smiled and kissed him.

They shared a flushing memory in which there was no one else but him and him.

That night in Chengdu, in the sleeper car back to Beijing.

After they came back, the relationship between the two became more intimate. No one was there. Chi Lidong called Xia Yue "wife". The title, will show extra excitement.Xia Yue was still a little tsundere at that time.

The two who have tasted the forbidden fruit are like two wild horses, almost wanting to break through all the shackles in the world, and explore the extreme of desire to their heart's content.

Empty classrooms after evening self-study.The bathroom cubicle where people come and go outside the shower curtain.The balcony of the dormitory after lights out.Even the back seat of Chi Lidong's Harley motorcycle.

In the early spring of that year, the wind of March hit the bright earth, and spring counted her flowers every night.
