unknown way out

Lu Yiqiao didn't expect that he would run into Qin Yuan just by making two random turns on the road.And when Chu Heng insisted on pulling him to cross the road, he pushed and yelled, but Chu Heng carelessly pulled him, and hurried through the crowded intersection while the light was green.

"Hurry up, you'll be waiting in line if you get there late." Chu Heng also knew that the people behind him were awkward, but there was nothing he could do. The two of them agreed to eat hot pot together, but it was almost dinner time. , and then came to the intersection.After all, if you go to that store late, you will have to queue for several hours. Chu Heng is not willing to spend most of the time of this date as an activity of sitting at the entrance of the restaurant, eating Miao crispy corners and drinking sour plum soup.

"It's just ahead, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you just have a meal, why is it like reincarnation?" Lu Yiqiao was also being dragged along, rampaging through the crowd.

Just as Lu Yiqiao finished speaking, Chu Heng stopped suddenly. Lu Yiqiao didn't react, and almost bumped into his back: "I'm sick! I stopped walking while walking, are you in a hurry to eat?"

"What a coincidence." The voice was Qin Yuan.Lu Yiqiao subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out of the palm of the person beside him, but the other party held him tighter.

Before Lu Yiqiao had time to say hello, he saw Qin Yuan's smile froze on his face, and her eyes fell on the hands of the two who were clasped together.

"Coincidental." It was Chu Heng who responded shamelessly, and then followed up with: "Let's go first." After finishing speaking, he pulled Lu Yiqiao and continued to rush forward according to the rhythm just now.

When Lu Yiqiao passed her by, he turned his head with a smile, waved his other hand at her, then turned his head and continued to scold Chu Heng, Chu Heng also listened with a smile, and did not reply. The two ran all the way to the hot pot restaurant.

Qin Yuan stood there, looking at the backs of the two people who were getting further and further away.She breathed a long sigh of relief, scattered snowflakes began to fall, put the mobile phone in her hand back into the huge bag, and quickly followed the crowd. Today is the last day of this year, but she still has to work hard. And run around.

"It's almost here." Lu Yiqiao couldn't feel the cold anymore. He was already sweating after tossing around for a long time. When he entered the hot pot restaurant, he took off his scarf with the smell of hot pot.

"Two? You'll have to wait for half an hour." The young waitress in a red apron walked over to them and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Chu Heng turned his head and waved his hands at Lu Yiqiao: "You see, it's still too late." Lu Yiqiao gave him a blank look: "Eat if you like it, or leave if you don't."

"Give me a number card." Chu Heng said to the young girl, "Okay, No. 28, your number plate, please take it." After the young girl typed out the ticket number with a machine, she smiled Handed it to Chu Heng.

Holding the receipt, Chu Heng dragged Lu Yiqiao and sat down beside him, waiting for his number to be called. Although he only waited for half an hour, the waiter still brought them snack plates and sour plum soup.

"I thought I could eat it without wasting time." Chu Heng said after taking a sip of the iced sour plum soup.

"Well, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have promised you, I should eat sour soup dumplings at home." Lu Yiqiao didn't even lift his head, and as soon as his butt touched the chair, he took out his mobile phone to play.

Chu Heng leaned over and watched him playing with his mobile phone. Lu Yiqiao seemed to be reading an electronic version of a literary newspaper. Why didn't I see it? He has three very small moles on his temples, which can't be seen unless he looks closely.

He poked a small mole in the middle with his hand, and Lu Yiqiao suddenly turned his head: "Are you sick?" "No, there is something on your face." "You have a leg."

Hearing Lu Yiqiao's answer, Chu Heng laughed straight away: "Do you know that you have a mole on the right side of your face?" The place where Chu Heng poked her.

"Where are you going at night?" Chu Heng asked, "Nonsense, go home." When Lu Yiqiao heard this question, he blurted out without thinking.Chu Heng gave him a meaningful look: "You owe me half an hour."

"Huh? This is mine?" Lu Yiqiao looked puzzled. It was obvious that Chu Heng didn't want to drive. He hated too many cars on the road and insisted on squeezing the subway. In the end, he waited for three subway trips before he could get on. On the main street, there were too many people, shoulder to shoulder, making it difficult to walk. As a result, half an hour had to be counted to the head of Lu Yi Bridge.

"Otherwise? It's not that you walk too slowly." Chu Heng felt that it should be taken for granted. He was too close to Lu Yiqiao, and he said a few words close to his ear, and people around him looked back at them. .

Lu Yiqiao glanced at the person who was looking at him from the corner of his eye: "OK, OK, it's my fault, stay away from me."

Chu Heng was really far away, but he just leaned back and said, "Then I will take it as your agreement."

"What did I promise again?" "Let's spend New Year's Eve together." "Oh, this, my mother doesn't mind if you come to my house, she can't wait for you to be her son." Lu Yiqiao hurriedly continued.

"Tsk, I said my home." "My home is your home, why are you so out of touch." Lu Yiqiao patted him on the shoulder, insisting on bypassing the topic of going to his home with him.

"Number 28!" The waiter called the number, "Let's go, let's go." Lu Yiqiao patted each other's arms, and the two of them followed the waiter to go inside. Today is very special. There are many people eating outside. After all, it is this year It's the last day of the year, and it's New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock.

And it's seven o'clock now, after Lu Yiqiao and Chu Heng sat down, they ordered a lot of dishes, originally wanted to ask Bai Xin to come out together today, but she wanted to spend New Year's Eve with the Chu and Bai families.

The Chu family and the Bai family always spend New Year's Eve together. This year, Lu Yiqiao sneaked out, and Lu's mother also turned a blind eye.As a result, when he was going out, he happened to meet Bai Mingchuan who was coming home, and was even ridiculed by him.

"You quit sesame paste now?" Chu Heng looked at the sesame oil in Lu Yiqiao's bowl and said with a smile, "Just kidding." Lu Yiqiao took another bowl, which was full of sesame paste, and there was still A small spoonful of mashed garlic, a small spoonful of oyster sauce, and half a spoonful of hoisin sauce are stacked. After finishing speaking, stir the sesame sauce evenly with chopsticks, then take out the cooked beef roll from the pot, dip it in the sesame sauce, and serve it to your mouth.

"Do you like Hangzhou cuisine?" Chu Heng didn't compete with Lu Yiqiao for the meat in the pot, but asked suddenly.

"My mother often makes West Lake vinegar fish. I don't know if the taste is authentic, but it's delicious." Lu Yiqiao continued to think about those Hangzhou dishes he had eaten. There are many dishes and many cuisines, but the recipe is different. , Lu Yiqiao didn't know what kind of taste he was eating.

"Longjing Shrimp, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Stewed Whip Shoots, and Chop Fish Balls are all my mother's specialties." Chu Heng said with raised eyebrows. "My mother cooks Dongbei big pot dishes well, you have eaten them before." Lu Yiqiao also praised his mother casually. Her mother was originally from the Northeast, and she is good at pickling pickles.

"You may be useful to Bai Xin like this, and I don't pay attention to food and drink." How could Lu Yiqiao not know what Chu Heng was up to.

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, and put some frozen tofu into the pot: "Have you seen the snow on the broken bridge? My mother said two days ago that there was only a heavy snowfall." "No, haven't you seen enough snow in the north? "Lu Yiqiao just didn't get the trick, but his subordinates were very fast, and more than half of the duck intestines had been cooked.

"Save some, save some." Chu Heng used his own chopsticks to stop Lu Yiqiao's chopsticks that were pinching the duck intestines again.

Seeing that Lu Yiqiao had no intention of going home with him at all, Chu Heng felt embarrassed to continue talking, so he changed the subject.

After finishing the meal, when I came out, I found that the number of people queuing up was only increasing. It was almost 09:30 now, and the fireworks were all ready in the area where fireworks were allowed to be burned in the city.

"How do you spend New Year's Eve in Germany?" The two walked side by side. When they came out, the snow was already heavy, and the pedestrians on the road were still hurrying.

"What can one person do? After my aunt returned to China and I lived alone, at this time of year, I would go out to have a meal, and watch video with my family until the early morning. There is a fireworks show by the Danube every year, and it will be at twelve o'clock. It’s very bright. I just bought a cup of hot drink and stood among the crowd by the river, like everyone else, waiting for the countdown and the fireworks.” Chu Heng couldn’t walk fast, but Lu Yiqiao was half a step faster than him, and Lu Yiqiao waited After a while, I caught up with him: "It sounds very lively."

"During the Chinese New Year, it's not so lively, and there's no holidays, so Chinatown still has the taste of the New Year. There is a family in Chinatown. They are my aunt's host family when she went to Germany. They invite me to eat at their house every year. Dumplings." Chu Heng recalled the past, saying that it was the past, but it was only a year ago, but now the world has turned upside down.

"It's going to be all right this year, and the New Year's Eve dinner will not be missed." Lu Yiqiao followed Chu Heng and stood on the side of the road to catch a taxi. He only needs to take the subway to go home, and he will be there in three stops. Since he is standing here with him Chu Heng, Chu Heng also understood Lu Yiqiao's thoughts.

"Yeah, nothing will be left behind this year." Chu Heng responded, repeating Lu Yiqiao's words, and just as he finished speaking, a taxi carrying people stopped in front of them with the sound of braking. , There were still people running around chasing the car, but when they saw Lu Yiqiao and Chu Heng standing beside the car, those people returned to their positions and continued to stop the car.

"It's good luck. After standing for a minute, the bus arrived." Lu Yiqiao couldn't help sighing. Chu Heng smiled and said nothing. After the people in the bus got off, the two of them sat down one after the other. the back of the car.

Chu Heng reported the address, the driver responded, and set off on the road.It's really far from here to the community where Chu Heng lives. When the taxi drives past, the meter will already be in three digits.

"Tsk tsk, half a tank of gas money is gone." After taking the change from the driver, Chu Heng complained to Lu Yiqiao who was already standing outside waiting for him after getting out of the car.

"Blame yourself." Lu Yiqiao replied, and the two of them walked into the community together. There were quite a few people going back and forth, basically from one family to another, and red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the community.

"The Chinese New Year will be in January this year." Lu Yiqiao remembered the old almanac that he read yesterday. The end of January is the lunar new year.

"I'm going to book a ticket in the next two days." Chu Heng was thinking about the ticket to go home, but he wasn't sure how many people would go back this year, so he didn't book the ticket directly, but was waiting for an answer.
