don't sacrifice

Returning to Haojun's home, Xiaobai realizes how quickly time flies.

Haojun's small shop has been redecorated, and the overall temperament is more artistic.Several bolts of calico were stapled to the wall, covering the wall that was too blank.A few plum blossoms are placed in clay vases and placed in the corner of the room, secretly fragrant.

And when he saw Haojun, Xiaobai was also slightly taken aback.In his past impressions, Haojun has always been too thin and tall, a little fragile.But this time, Haojun greeted him as soon as he arrived at the door, his cheeks became plump, as if he had become a little fatter.

"Huaijin, you're back."

He still had that gentle smile, and this smile was even more beautiful than before, as if he was having a good time recently.

"You've grown taller, why have you lost so much weight?" He stepped forward to look at Xiao Bai carefully, unable to restrain his concerned eyes.Xiaobai smiled, no matter what, the kind of paternal care that Haojun brought him was hard to conceal.

"Maybe it's because you've grown up that you look thinner." After such a long time, he was finally able to meet his eyes, and replied briskly, "It's you, you have gained a lot of weight."

When Haojun said this, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he touched his cheeks with both hands, "Hey? Is there, is it obvious?"

"Of course it's obvious, it's almost turning into buns!" Xiao Bai joked.

After hearing this, Hao Jun pouted, and shouted to the back room, "Qin Chuan, come out!"

At this time, Qin Chuan hurried out of the house, but he was 1.8 meters tall, but he was wearing a pink lace apron.He ran over with the smoking pot in his hand, and asked Haojun repeatedly, "What's wrong?"

"You bastard, you still said I didn't grow any flesh! Huai Jin said that I'm about to turn into a bun, and it's all your fault!" Seeing Qin Chuan approaching, Hao Jun raised his blushing face and yelled at him.Qin Chuan laughed instantly when he heard this, "That's because he hasn't seen you for a long time, how can I see the change when I see you every day!"

Xiaobai looked at Qin Chuan in surprise. He felt that this person seemed familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him.Haojun turned his head and saw Xiaobai's puzzled gaze.Only then did he realize that the two of them didn't know each other yet, so he coughed lightly and introduced him, "This is my shop assistant, Qin Chuan."

"Hello! You are Huaijin. I've heard Haojun mentioning you all the time. You really are a very cute child." Qin Chuan subconsciously shook hands with Tong Xiaobai, but he was holding a pot in his hand.So he nodded his head.

"Qin Chuan..." Xiaobai frowned slightly. He suddenly thought of the young elite businessman that the boss in the dormitory had mentioned, and instantly widened his eyes and said in surprise, "You are that one, that Qin Chuan ?”

"Which Qin Chuan?" Hao Jun looked at the two in confusion.

At first, Qin Chuan stayed with him on the pretext of bankruptcy, while Hao Jun usually didn't pay attention to business matters, and he didn't even read newspapers often.So I don't know Qin Chuan's achievements.And Qin Chuan didn't want him to know, so he planned to fool him at this moment, "No, I'm just a down-and-out businessman who was kindly taken in by our boss."

As he spoke, he even winked playfully at Haojun.

As a result, Haojun gave him a supercilious look.

"Okay, hurry up and sit down." Hao Jun beckoned Xiao Bai to sit down, and poured him a glass of water.And Qin Chuan returned to the kitchen and continued cooking.

"You..." Xiaobai looked at Haojun hesitantly, and pointed to the kitchen.He stopped talking.

"It's nothing, it's just a guy in my shop." Haojun smiled, denying Xiaobai's conjecture, "How are you doing at school?"

"It's pretty good. The roommates are pretty good." Xiaobai replied.

"That's good..." Hao Jun lowered his eyes slightly, "Then, do you still have contact with Zhou Qichen?"

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly mention this name, and Xiao Bai's hand holding the cup trembled. "If you don't mention him, I will almost forget about this person..." He raised his head and forced a smile.

Haojun was silent for a while, and then said silently, "I... heard people say that he seems to have been transferred to another place."

Qingshan was sentenced to death after he was caught. After the shooting, Xiao Xu once called Xiao Bai to collect the money that was extorted before.It is said that Qingshan did not spend the money, but stored a card instead.It seemed that he was going to take the extorted money and run away with his lover.

However, at that time, Xiaobai was approaching the college entrance examination, so he really couldn't be distracted.So I asked Haojun to pick it up from the police station.However, when Haojun went there, he found that Zhou Qichen's name was no longer on the sign at the door, so he inquired with Xiao Xu, and it turned out that he was transferred away.

"Why did you tell me this?" Xiaobai raised his head, looked at Haojun and asked.

"I..." Haojun didn't know what to say for a moment, he had been feeling guilty towards Xiaobai for a year.He thought that if he hadn't been so impulsive and said bad things about Zhou Qichen to him, maybe the two of them would not have ended up like this.

"There's nothing to say." Xiaobai took a sip of water, cleared his throat and said, "It's all over..."

"Hmm..." Haojun wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Qin Chuan yelled from the kitchen,

"The meal is ready, come over and serve the bowl!"

That meal, Xiaobai ate like nothing.Seeing Qin Chuan on the side kept adding vegetables to Hao Jun's bowl, he was roughly sure of Qin Chuan's affection for Hao Jun.

And Haojun was serving him food, talking and laughing with him with crooked eyebrows.It seems that he wants to deliberately regain the feeling of the past.However, Xiaobai knows that this is impossible, and he and Haojun are no longer what they used to be.

After dinner, Xiaobai helped clean up the dishes and said he wanted to go for a walk on the street.Haojun wanted to accompany him, but was stopped by Qin Chuan and said, "You can't go, I remember there are still a few urgent orders, and they said they will pick up the goods after the next year..."

Haojun frowned slightly, and glanced at Xiaobai.But Xiaobai said indifferently, "Go ahead, I'll just go out and look around by myself."

"Be careful by yourself, it's too dark..." Hao Jun warned.

"Oh, Huai Jin is an older child anyway, it's fine." Qin Chuan said from the side, and Xiao Bai could see that he seemed to not want Haojun to leave.

He didn't say anything else, put on his coat and walked out the door.As soon as he went out, he shivered, feeling a burst of cold air.The residual snow on the street is mixed with the residue of firecrackers, turning black, and it is no longer the pure white and flawless when we first came to this land.

There were two or three children running past laughingly holding up the flowers, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the dark sky.Every house is lit with lights, and there are many people.Xiaobai suddenly felt a chill running down his face, and when he reached out to touch it, tears were already streaming down his face.

"Bastard!" He suddenly kicked over an empty pyrotechnic tube on the ground, but the scolding was covered by the sounds of joy around him.He squatted on the ground, crying very ugly.

On New Year's Eve, he squatted on the street for a long time, and all the people passing by were happy and joyful.A few scattered snowflakes floated on his body, and slowly turned into heavy snow, soaking his coat.

At last the street was empty, he stood up slowly and patted his clothes.I didn't want to go back to Haojun's house, but I was still afraid that he would be worried, so I decided to go back.

However, when they arrived at the door of Haojun's house, just as they were about to open the door to enter, they heard a faint panting sound coming from inside.That voice passed through his eardrums one by one, as if wanting to tell him that it was a mistake for him to come back at this moment, no, it was a mistake for him to come here today to mix with the two of them.

Xiao Bai turned around and left. He knew that there was no one waiting for him in the vast white snow.
