After Song Shuo left, Tang Zhe felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

It’s mid-to-late November, and God seems to know Tang Zhe’s feeling. It’s been raining for a week, and the temperature is getting lower every day. Can only live wrapped in a down jacket.A rain swept away the precariously fallen leaves hanging on the trees, and autumn lingered in the aftermath of the long tail in summer and the vanguard of winter, ending its short life—the temperature finally couldn’t get higher, and the air began to Accompanied by a burst of coldness and bleakness.

In December, the first snow fell in City B.The snow was not heavy, and it only covered the green belt with a layer of white clothes. By noon, there were only some residual drops of water left.Tang Zhe completed the internship task shortly after the snow melted.When he knocked on the door and entered the office to hand in the report to Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi twirled a pen in his hand a few times and said, "There are a few places for interns to become regulars."

Tang Zhe made a decisive decision, "I don't want it."

Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure? Our company is not bad, right?"

Not bad is not bad, not to mention that with Xiao Zhi in charge, not only is he not worried about being treated badly, but he is also afraid that the treatment will be too good and cause criticism, but he has his own plan, Tang Zhe smiled, "I have to go back."

Tang Zhe received his wages and earned the first sum of money. He picked some gifts for his family and sent them back. He also bought perfume for Shanshan. In fact, he wanted to buy something for Xiao Zhi, but Xiao Zhi didn't want it. He smelled it. After Shan Shan received the perfume, she whispered to Tang Zhe with an impure smile, "You can save mine, I really like the smell of Shan Shan's perfume~"

The thank-you ceremony was gone, so Tang Zhe invited Shanshan and Xiao Zhi to another meal, and said a lot of thank you words.Shan Shan was still the same, took a bite of food and said, "Tang Zhe, why are you so talkative, eat more."

Tang Zhe was overjoyed at once, compared to Shanshan's ruthless and casual manner, her politeness was more frightening, the more she behaved now, the more it showed that she really accepted Tang Zhe.Tang Zhe didn't care so much about whether others liked him or not. After all, he had been tossing around since he was a child. It's really hard to say who hates him or likes him.But Song Shuo was able to treat each other with sincerity like Xiao Zhi and Shan Shan, he probably couldn't find another friend, so he also thought of flattering him.

After the internship is over, and after bidding farewell to Xiao Zhi and Shan Shan, Tang Zhe boards the car back to school.This time there was no surprise attack and no surprises. He honestly told Song Shuo the train number and time when he came back, and then saw Song Shuo at the exit of the train.Neither of the two talked nonsense, Song Shuo took Tang Zhe's suitcase and went directly to the underground parking lot, and drove all the way back to school.After getting out of the car and going upstairs to open the door, Song Shuo carried Tang Zhe's suitcase and walked in front. As soon as he entered the room, he felt his back sink and Tang Zhe had already laid down on his stomach.

Song Shuo bent behind his back with one hand and hugged him, and waited for the other hand to put the box on the ground and stand it upright before turning to look at Tang Zhe, "I can't bear it until I'm quiet all the way..."

Tang Zhe grabbed his arm, and waited until Song Shuo finished kissing before saying, "Can you not teach me now?"

Song Shuo was startled for a moment, and then burst out laughing, but Tang Zhe soon blocked the laughter.

Separation from the practice was like a fire, burning away all the awkwardness in Tang Zhe's heart before the separation, and he finally became frank with Song Shuo, liking it just like it, and liking it more and more.Of course Song Shuo could notice Tang Zhe's changes, but he thought they were all cute, but now this frank Tang Zhe would sometimes suddenly rush into his study and jump on him, so surprised that Mr. Song couldn't help it. I can only laugh and indulge.

From the end of the internship to the nearly one month before the holiday is the most leisurely month for the two of them.

Tang Zhe finally had a lot of time to spend his little life with Mr. Song.Start at [-]:[-] in the morning when there is class, and start at [-]:[-] when there is no class, listen to the news while eating breakfast, read a book after tidying up the house in the morning, take a nap after lunch, sometimes watch movies and sometimes play games in the afternoon, the weather Well, I will go out for a walk.Come back at night and take a comfortable hot bath, watch TV together, and turn off the lights to rest when the time is up.

Tang Zhe lived like this for more than a week. One night when he was lying on the bed with Song Shuo, he suddenly realized that he suddenly turned over and held Song Shuo's hand that was about to turn off the night light, and said, "Teacher Song!"

Song Shuo turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Tang Zhe looked at Song Shuo surrounded by the dim light, sat up involuntarily, stretched out his hand to take off Song Shuo's glasses.Song Shuo closed his eyes reflexively when Tang Zhe reached out his hand, and when he opened it again, he raised his chin and narrowed his eyes uncomfortably because his eyes were blurred.Tang Zhe put Song Shuo's glasses on the bedside table, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Why do I feel that I have entered the life of retirement in advance?"

Song Shuo pressed the light to turn off, pushed Tang Zhe who was sitting up back on the bed, and said, "Then what do you want, I will give you a counter-proof?"

Tang Zhe was disproved by Mr. Song's strength, so he lay paralyzed on the bed the next day and couldn't keep his eyes open.Song Shuo had class in the morning, and before he left, he went to the bedroom to rub his hair and whispered farewell. Tang Zhe reluctantly opened his eyelids to glance at him, turned over and buried his face in the quilt, and said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, retirement life is quite good in old age. of."

Song Shuo smiled and went out to class.

With nothing to do, Tang Zhe began to learn to cook by himself for a happy life in the future, considering Mr. Song's cooking skills.Xiao Zhi let Song Shuo into the kitchen, but Song Shuo was always reluctant, Tang Zhe was going to cook, but he was happy to watch from the side.The kitchen is not big, and Tang Zhe is still a three-legged cat. Every time something goes out of the pan, he is afraid that the frying oil will be too nervous. Song Shuo insists on going to join in the fun. Besides, Tang Zhe is more worried about frying than himself. he.Originally, it was interesting to be alone in the kitchen thinking about making something according to the recipe, but as soon as Song Shuo got involved, it became like a battlefield. Tang Zhe couldn't bear it anymore, so he kicked Song Shuo out and forbade him to cook by himself. time to come in.

Song Shuo had no choice but to go about his own affairs and wait for Chef Tang to serve the dishes.Tang Zhe took care of lunch and dinner, and Song Shuo took the initiative to take care of breakfast.Although Song Shuo is not good at cooking, he is very good at cooking porridge, making five grains and soy milk, and occasionally he can order a bowl of bread and wontons. Of course, Tang Zhe called Xiao Zhi for advice on the meat stuffing.Regarding what Song Shuo said, "Sometimes you come to me for things, don't always call Xiao Zhi, I will be jealous", Tang Zhe has no pressure, after all, it is useless for him to seek Song Shuo for such things.But Wonton Bao is really Tang Zhe taught by Song Shuo. Tang Zhe, who just crushed Mr. Song in the skill of cooking, failed completely. No matter what, he couldn't figure out how to arrange and pinch the thin skin. , he lost his patience and simply wrapped up the ravioli. Fortunately, the wontons were quite up to par, at least they didn't disperse after being put into the pot.After getting out of the pot, Tang Zhe looked at his crooked own son and Song Shuo's bulging ravioli wearing a small gauze skirt, and swept away the latter without any hesitation.Song Shuo could only deal with the small wontons that Tang Zhe had abandoned. Fortunately, the taste would not change because of the appearance.

The places where the internships go are different, and the time when the company’s internship ends is also different. It is generally around December, but Bean Sprouts is a place for scattered internships. It comes back later than others, and it is at the end of December. The three returned in anticipation.After the four of them reunited, they went to a dinner party, and after chatting, they found out that Tang Zhe's affairs were not the only ones. The fat man was almost pushed out by his master, and Zhuyeqing and Bean Sprouts also had some unpleasant things happen.

The four of them hardly got together since the last semester, and they chatted carelessly. After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Yeqing suddenly came over and hugged Tang Zhe, and said to him drunkenly: "Da Zhe, uh! Ah... ...We, the four of us, I don't worry about you, you."

Tang Zhe was also a little dizzy, but not as powerful as Zhuyeqing, "Why, why?"

"We, the brothers are not afraid of... what, but you...you, you are not good at meeting people!"

Tang Zhe was dumbfounded for a while, and then burst out laughing. Bean Sprouts next to him looked at Zhu Yeqing and let out a painful "hey".Tang Zhe was still laughing, he patted the fat man, "Brother Fat, you taught Xiaoqing's idioms hahahahahahahaha!"

The fat man pushed him away, "Get lost!"

Zhuyeqing was drunk, but she was still trying to say: "The boss is not good, I, let's change the boss; colleagues, if we can't get along, we can, no, don't care. What about you?"

Just as Tang Zhe was about to answer, he turned his head and saw Zhu Yeqing looking at him, frowning slightly, his eyes were a bit complicated.He was half sober from drinking, and before he opened his mouth, he saw the fat man grab Zhuyeqing.The fat man patted Zhuyeqing's face, and said, "Xiaoqing was talking nonsense after drinking, and he couldn't hear a sentence for a long time."

Tang Zhe nodded and said, "I'm drunk."

Afterwards, some tea was served, and the four of them relieved themselves of the alcohol, and went back after being a little more sober.When he got up, Bean Sprouts asked him, "Da Zhe going back to the dormitory tonight?"

Tang Zhe didn't know how to answer. Bean Sprouts looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Then we'll go first, be careful on your own way, and remember to say in the group when you arrive at night, if you go far at night, we won't let you go." worried."

Tang Zhe could only nod his head, watching Bean Sprouts and Fatty help Zhuyeqing to leave.He sat in the box for a while, and waited for the three of Bean Sprouts to go far away before getting up, putting on his clothes and going out. As he walked, he thought, and he always felt that what Bean Sprouts said and the behavior of pulling the other two to go first seemed to be for others. A perfect shelter for him to go back to school but not to bed.And Zhuyeqing's words seemed to have more profound meaning.

His mind was a little out of control, and he walked back as if walking slowly all the way, but he saw Song Shuo downstairs.He hurried up a few steps to meet him, "Why are you down here?"

"I guess it's time for you to come back, and I'm a little worried because I haven't seen anyone, so I want to come down and wait for you." Song Shuo touched his hand, "What are you strolling on the road in the cold weather?"

Tang Zhe wanted to tell Song Shuo the question in his heart, but he was afraid that it would only add trouble to him so he could not speak it out.But Song Shuo only glanced at him, and asked, "Did you have a good time with your roommates?"

Tang Zhe pursed his lips and said, "What if I feel that some behaviors of others seem to mean something?"

"It's nothing to do," Song Shuo said calmly, "When you feel that someone else's behavior is quite meaningful, it's basically because you think too much on your own."

Tang Zhe opened his mouth wide and let out an "ah", and then smiled again: "That's right."

It was the end of the semester, and Song Shuo was mainly in charge of the postgraduate affairs for the past six months. The undergraduates didn't take a few classes, and they taught the professional elective courses in the college, and the papers were also given by other teachers. Just a few exams, it's rare and easy.Tang Zhe handed over his graduation design framework to the instructor as early as the middle of the month. While doing it, he also wrote a preliminary draft of his graduation thesis. He only waited for time to refine the functions and complete the thesis. Submitted the first draft.Song Shuo asked a few students to find him some time, checked the situation of the completion, and let go.This year's autumn is short, winter is coming unexpectedly, the temperature is dropping again and again, it's too cold outside, neither of the two of them want to move, they simply degenerate into two salted fish, lying on the sofa and bed, even the eyes will turn into dead fish eyes.

Every winter, Song Shuo would bring out a large carpet, and spread it on the floor of the bedroom balcony when the sun came out, and then cover it with a thin quilt to lazily bask in the sun.Tang Zhe used to despise Song Shuo's hobbies for the elderly, but after he really tried it once, he was paralyzed in it and couldn't get up. It's really not too comfortable to bask in the sun in winter.It happened that the sun was very good in those few days, and the two of them almost moved from the bed to the ground to sleep.

Tang Zhe felt that if he stayed with Song Shuo like this any longer, he would definitely become a soft and lazy bone.At the beginning of January, there was finally something that could ignite the passion in his life.After a good night's dream, I opened the curtains, and the outside was covered with snow and white—it was snowing in City A.

It snowed all night and didn't stop until morning.Looking at the fluttering snowflakes, Tang Zhe almost felt that he heard the rustling sound of snow falling.The morning news said that this was the heaviest snowfall in City A in the past 20 years. He was suddenly a little excited and wanted to drag Song Shuo out.Teacher Song has always been flattered, and has no interest in this kind of thing, but Tang Zhe couldn't bear the excitement, so he could only go out with him to suffer from the cold.

Tang Zhe was a child, and Song Shuo drove him to the park early in the morning.It was still early, there were no people in the park, a large amount of snow covered the ground, and there was a vast expanse of white near and far.Tang Zhe looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and then stared at the complete and clean snow field in front of him, ready to move.

Song Shuo looked at him for a while, then suddenly frowned suspiciously and said, "What do you want to do? Don't make trouble, be careful to catch a cold when you go back."

Tang Zhe didn't even finish listening to his words, so he rushed over there, then fell to the hard ground, curled up with a snort of pain.Song Shuo laughed unabashedly beside him.Tang Zhe stared at him, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Song Shuo was still laughing: "What am I telling you, can't you see how thick the snow is, and you want to jump into the snowdrift stupidly, you deserve it!" Although he said so, he still bent down Reach out and pull Tang Zhe up.The winter clothes were thick, and Tang Ze didn't hurt from the fall, but his heart was broken. He got up and patted the snow scum on his clothes. He didn't do anything for the rest of the time, and obediently walked around the park with Song Shuo.

Tang Zhe walked for less than half an hour, and felt a little cold after the excitement passed.In this coldness, he found the familiarity of last year.It was also a cold snowy day for his birthday last year. Although the snow did not fall, he went to the station to pick up Song Shuo with an umbrella under the rain.Before leaving, Song Shuo discussed the "time limit" with him, and said that he would spend the New Year with him in the future.It's just that he was still a little hesitant and reluctant at the time, and he would never have imagined that such a day would come a year later.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but went to see Song Shuo.Song Shuo was standing on a tree, looking up at the branches and green leaves drooping under the weight of snow.The climates of the two places are different. In the same season, the trees in Tang Zhe's house are now bare, but now the city A is still green everywhere.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the tree above Song Shuo's head trembled slightly, and the snow that had weighed heavily on it fell down. Song Shuo who was standing below was immediately stained with silver frost, and his clothes and hair were covered with silver frost. With crystal snowflakes.He was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself and shook his hair, snowflakes fell from him again.

He patted himself clean, turned around to look for Tang Zhe, and found that the latter was staring at him blankly.

"You've heard it before, but I want to say it again," Tang Zhe murmured looking at him, "Teacher Song, I like you."

Song Shuo seemed to know that he would say such a thing at this time, and said "um" in a low voice, his face was as gentle as the spring when the begonias bloomed on a sunny day, and he said to Tang Zhe: "Tang Zhe, I am very happy like you."
