SAYE

The two of them held their heads up for a long time, and the shouting was quite enjoyable, but Jiang Cheng felt that he was a little short of oxygen after shouting in this posture for a while.

He seized the time to take out his mobile phone: "Come on, keep this posture and don't move."

"Taking pictures?" Gu Fei turned his head and asked.

"Well, don't move, look at the camera." Jiang Cheng raised the phone above his head, and they both looked up at their own faces on the screen, "Call, ah—"

Gu Fei laughed, and followed him to "ah" again, Jiang Cheng pressed the shutter: "Very good, my neck is sore."

"Fireworks." Gu Fei kicked the plastic bag.

"Will Er Miao dare to let go?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"She won't," Gu Fei said, "You can only order by holding her hand."

"Okay," Jiang Cheng took out the cigarette case, "I'll put it with her."

"Hey hey," Gu Fei handed over the lighter in his hand, "Are you still planning to let her light it?"

"...forgot," Jiang Cheng took the lighter, which was the long-nosed lighter Gu Fei took from the store, "Come on, Ermiao, let's set off fireworks?"

Gu Miao approached him with the skateboard in her arms, and Jiang Cheng put the lighter in her hand: "Press here."

He pressed Gu Miao's finger to light the lighter, then took her hand to light the fuse of the fireworks.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Jiang Cheng pulled her back a few steps.

This time it was a bundle of eight eyes. Although it didn't look too cool during the day, Gu Miao excitedly whistled the moment the fireworks flew out.

The bag of fireworks that Gu Fei brought out was not too many, but Gu Miao's fireworks were different from other children. Other children wanted to watch them one by one. She went out on the skateboard for two laps before coming back, and if she encountered someone setting off firecrackers next to her, she would have to drill again.

So it took almost an hour for the fireworks to be set off.

"Okay, it's gone," Gu Fei said, "There are other nights when it's dark, so it's good."

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to speak, a cry came from a place as far away as the horizon from the other side of the road shrouded in smoke.

Loud and loud.

"Feifei Miaomiao and her classmates—have eaten—"

"Fuck?" Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Gu Fei in shock, "Who is calling?"

"Who else could it be?" Gu Fei was speechless.

"Ponytail blue paper?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"...Your nickname is a bit amazing, isn't it?" Gu Fei sighed, "Let's go, go back and taste the craftsmanship of the basket."

"It's blue paper, not a basket." Jiang Cheng corrected his pronunciation.

"Blue paper." Gu Fei said it again and again as he walked forward.

"He's a blue one, why did he just yell like a coloratura soprano?" Jiang Cheng was still a little lost in his composure, "I thought your mother called you, Feifei."

"Believe it or not, I'll slap you." Gu Fei squinted at him.

"Come on, you're not Chinese if you don't smoke." Jiang Cheng was suddenly in a good mood. Although he couldn't see what was in front of him in the air full of the smell of fireworks, he was accompanied by the person he cared about most, and they went shopping together. , Letting off fireworks together, and eating New Year's dinner together, he just couldn't help feeling good.

He jumped a bit, took a step forward with his right leg and took a lunge, then put his hands on his hips and began to shake his shoulders, and said rhythmically: "No, pumping, no, China, people."

Gu Fei looked at him without any expression on his face, turned his head and ran away after a few seconds: "Er Miao, run! There are monsters!"

Then he whistled again, Gu Miao kicked the skateboard and rushed forward as soon as he heard it.

The man with the ponytail was quite quick at cooking. When they returned to the shop, there were already six dishes and one soup on the table, all of which were big dishes.

As expected of a cook.

Looking at the dishes, this chef probably doesn't work in a high-end place, but the dishes on the table still smell very fragrant, which makes people appetite.

"Thank you." Jiang Cheng said when he sat down.

"It's not hard work, it's my profession," Mawei waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter."

"I'll get some wine." Gu Fei's mother ran to the wine cabinet to have a look, and picked out a bottle of Jinliufu, "This is a festive occasion, let's drink this."

"Er Miao go get a bottle of drink by yourself." Gu Fei said to Gu Miao.

Gu Miao ran to the freezer to get a can of beer, then turned to look at Gu Fei.

"...Drink it." Gu Fei said.

"Miaomiao, come," Mawei took out a red envelope from his pocket, "take it."

Gu Miao didn't look at him, she just lowered her head and picked the beer ring.

"Er Miao?" Gu Fei's mother called her, "Uncle gave you lucky money."

Gu Miao still didn't raise her head, she lifted her head and took a few sips of beer after pulling off the adapter, then wiped her mouth and sat down, staring at the dishes on the table.

"Er Miao." Gu Fei opened his mouth.

Gu Miao raised her head.

"Uncle gave you the New Year's money, take it well, thank you Uncle." Gu Fei looked at her.

Gu Miao finally turned her head to look at the ponytail, stood up and bowed first, then took the red envelope and put it in her pocket.

"Come on," Ponytail continued to dig out his pocket, "Feifei..."

"No need." Gu Fei was stunned, and waved his hand in embarrassment, "It's really not necessary."

"He doesn't need to give it." Gu Fei's mother stopped the ponytail, "They are all adults, not children anymore."

After embarrassingly pushing for a few rounds, Mawei put away the red envelope, and Gu Fei's mother picked up the cup: "Come on, first of all, I wish my son a fortune, my daughter is healthy, and Jiang Cheng is admitted to a prestigious university..."

"What about me?" Ponytail asked.

Jiang Cheng was surprised to hear Ponytail's coquettish tone, and glanced at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was holding the cup, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

"You," Gu Fei's mother smiled and leaned on Ponytail, "I wish you all the best."

This tone was also full of coquettishness, Jiang Cheng was almost sweating while holding the cup, and looking at Gu Fei, he had already turned his head away in embarrassment.

Only Gu Miao remained calm and composed, staring at the table of dishes in a daze.

And after these two sentences, Gu Fei's mother and Ma Wei suddenly started a coquettish and shy relationship with no one else around, holding up their cups and selflessly began to flirt.

Gu Fei knocked his cup on Jiang Cheng's cup: "Brother Cheng is invincible this year."

"Everything is going well," Jiang Cheng said in a low voice when he saw that the two were still immersed in it from the corner of his eyes, "Boyfriend."

Gu Fei laughed, took a sip of the wine, then reached out and knocked on Gu Miao's beer can: "Er Miao grow up quickly."

"Er Miao makes progress every day." Jiang Cheng also knocked on her beer can.

When they started eating, Gu Fei's mother and Mawei finally came back to their senses, but they had already forgotten about toasting and clinking glasses, and started eating together.

During the meal, Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng didn't talk much, but they didn't stand cold because there was a sweet couple flirting while eating.

Apart from flirting, it was Gu Fei's mother who held her chin and listened to ponytail bragging.

But his bragging is not too big, basically the theme is that he wants to sell their boss's store today, Jiang Cheng always wanted to remind him, have you ever asked the boss if he wants to sell... But they are angry The field is so strong that others can hardly get in their mouths.

Mawei's dishes were not bad, smelled delicious, and tasted good. Gu Miao ate very happily, one chopstick after chopstick, one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine, quite enjoyable.

The couple on the opposite side probably didn't have enough to eat, and Jiang Cheng didn't see them move their chopsticks much.

"Let's go out for a walk." After eating almost, Gu Fei's mother stood up, "Let's feel the taste of the New Year."

"En." Gu Fei responded.

"Have fun." Jiang Cheng said.

"Thank you." Gu Fei's mother pulled the ponytail and went out, and soon heard the sound of the motorcycle driving away.

Jiang Cheng leaned back on the chair and stretched his legs, looking at Gu Miao who was still working hard.

Gu Fei lit a cigarette beside him: "Do you want it?"

"In a while," Jiang Cheng said, "I'll take two more bites."

"This dish is not bad." Gu Fei said.

"Well," Jiang Cheng filled a bowl of soup, "How does this person... compare with the previous ones?"

"I don't know," Gu Fei frowned, "There was something much more reliable than this before, and it's the same in the end."

"Then..." Jiang Cheng looked at him.

"As long as you don't move the money in the store," Gu Fei leaned back, "I don't care about it either, I'm an adult now."

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng picked up the wine bottle and shook it, thinking about it while pouring wine for Gu Fei, "Did that person drink and drive just now?"

"Hey," Gu Fei laughed, "Brother Cheng, you are really... He just drank two dollars."

"Li Yan and the others come over in the afternoon. If you drink, you can go out on your bicycle," Jiang Cheng said, "It's more than two dollars for you to drink."

"We don't go out, we have nowhere to go," Gu Fei said, "We just sit here watching TV and chatting, sometimes playing cards."

"The life of the elderly." Jiang Cheng said.

"Well," Gu Fei nodded, "Young people have spent their lives in bed with you."

Jiang Cheng glanced at him: "Be careful what you say."

"On the bed, on the bed, on the bed," Gu Fei said, "on the bed, on the bed, on the bed."

"Go to sleep." Jiang Cheng said.

After Gu Miao gnawed off the last piece of ribs, they cleared up the table.

Washing dishes is very annoying. When Jiang Cheng washed the dishes for the first time today, he felt in a good mood. Gu Fei put his phone beside him and played a song for him. He followed the rhythm and finished washing the dishes.

At this moment, every household was eating, and the sound of firecrackers outside was a little lower. He came out of the kitchen and stood in the backyard, listening to the sound of firecrackers in the distance.

He didn't feel much during the Chinese New Year before. He would feel very annoyed and frightened when he heard the noisy firecrackers. Under the current situation, it is full of vitality because of the Chinese New Year.

"It's snowing! Fortunately, we came quickly!" Liu Fan's voice came from the store.

Jiang Cheng raised his head. The snowflakes falling from the sky were still very fine, and they were swirling in the wind. When they landed on his face, they were cold at first, and then disappeared quickly.

He turned around and entered the store. Liu Fan, Li Yan and Luo Yu had just entered and were taking off their coats.

"Jiang Cheng! Happy Chinese New Year!" Luo Yu greeted.

"Happy New Year." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"I thought you were reviewing today," Li Yan said, "Da Fei said you were reviewing from morning to night every day."

"I'll go back and continue my review in a while," Jiang Cheng said.

"...Let's go back after a while," Li Yan said, "We brought a bunch of New Year's goods over here, let's try it?"

"I really can't taste it now," Jiang Cheng rubbed his stomach, "I just stuffed my stomach."

"Jiang Cheng, brother has something for you." Liu Fan picked up a big plastic bag from the side and came over. "Our name is Chen Jie. Chen Jie has a friend who is an intern at No. [-] Middle School, and he got it for their senior year review." material."

"Damn it," Gu Fei smiled, "What are you doing?"

"A group of people who have never been to college, look at the first grade envious." Li Yan smiled and sat down, took out a big red envelope and stuffed it into Gu Miao's pocket, "Brothers give you The new year's money, keep it yourself, don't give it to your brother."

When Jiang Cheng took the heavy plastic bag, he felt a little indescribable, and for a long time he only said one sentence: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Liu Fan replied.

After speaking, several people laughed, and Luo Yu sighed: "Don't be so formal, I can't continue talking."

A group of people spread out on the chairs in the store and started chatting.

Jiang Cheng took out a few materials and took a look. They were all papers issued by the No. [-] Middle School during this period, and some materials were found by the teacher, some of which were duplicated with those of the No. [-] Middle School, and many others were not read.

Li Yan and the others would find review materials for him, which Jiang Cheng hadn't expected at all before, preparing for the exam by himself would startle even this group of idlers, which is also miraculous.

But just like that, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Glancing at Gu Fei who was sitting across from him and listening to a few people talking nonsense, how much does Gu Fei expect from himself?

When Li Yan suggested playing cards, Jiang Cheng decided to go back and read.

"I told you to come over to eat the dumplings." Gu Fei walked out of the shop together with him, "Do you want me to take you back? Do you want me to pick you up at night?"

"Gu Miao doesn't even need you to pick her up." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"Picking up is just an excuse," Gu Fei stretched, "I just want to see you more."

These words made him want to hug Gu Fei and kiss him fiercely in the street.

I want to see you more.

It's the same with him, when he is reviewing, there will always be Gu Fei's figure in his peripheral vision, even when he enters the state of selflessness, Gu Fei can bring him back with a single word.

Want to see you, want to hear you talk.

What is especially unbearable is that this kind of time spent together day and night, with the countdown of the college entrance examination, is gradually decreasing. The feeling of panic when thinking about it, even surpasses the upcoming college entrance examination.

Jiang Cheng wandered back to the rental room alone, and he didn't ask Gu Fei to see him off. This kind of lingering, if you can't take it in time, then maybe they will be sent to you between the rental room and Gu Fei's shop. I will send you back and forth ten or eight times.

The rented house was also covered with red crumbs, and the corridors seemed to be covered with red carpets. Jiang Cheng smelled gunpowder smoke all the way up the stairs.

Although this is an old building, the heating is miraculously sufficient, and you can feel the warm waves as soon as you enter the house.

He changed into a comfortable set of clothes, sat down at the table and began to review.

First do the volumes of the No. [-] Middle School, and then the various contents sent by Pan Zhi and the materials of the No. [-] Middle School.

In the eyes of others, he probably looks like a tireless machine. He is a top student, with strong self-control, strong learning ability and memory, and has a plan for learning.

But it is still very tiring, the pen will pause while writing, and the mind will get stuck while carrying it.

Since he was a child, he has been suffocating, he must do it, he must do it well, and he simply wants to be recognized, but now, the reason why he is so desperate has become complicated.

He has no way out.

Neither did Gu Fei.

In the evening, Gu Fei called to ask him to eat dumplings. If it weren't for the excitement of Gu Fei's exclusive ringtone, he probably wouldn't be able to react to it.

The dumplings were made by Li Yan and the others. They said that there were ten dumplings filled with money, and whoever ate them would have their wishes come true.

There wasn't enough room on the plate, so Gu Fei directly divided them into their bowls, but everyone got one dollar. Gu Miao was stunned for a long time because he was biting the money, but Jiang Cheng's bowl contained all five dumplings. money.

"Ah!" Jiang Cheng glanced at Gu Fei when he bit the money for the fifth time.

"Da Fei," Li Yan was overjoyed, "Are you a black box?"

"It must be a black box." Liu Fan threw the money in his hand and said with a smile, "He didn't put all ten of them with Jiang Cheng, he must be thinking of brotherhood."

"You guys don't take the college entrance examination." Gu Fei said.

"It's better to divide the two for yourself," Luo Yu said, "We don't take the college entrance examination, but you take the college entrance examination."

Gu Fei smiled and didn't speak.

For Jiang Cheng during the Chinese New Year, the main event was finished here after eating the dumplings. For the next few days of holidays, the cat stayed in the house and didn't go out much.

Gu Fei would take him out for a walk every two days to get some fresh air, and would pop up a few knowledge points on the way to ask him.

Jiang Cheng was a little surprised to find that Gu Fei hadn't memorized anything in particular, but he didn't need to look at the answers to know whether Jiang Cheng's answer was right or wrong for the questions he had drawn a few times.

"You can," Jiang Cheng said, "Have you written it all down?"

"No," Gu Fei smiled, "How is it possible, I just remember the general idea, I can't tell you what I said, but I know if what you said is right or not."

"Oh." Jiang Cheng glanced at him.

Although he didn't know how meaningful it would be, he still slowly increased the time for Gu Fei to draw his back. First, the closer the distance, the more he needed to memorize, and the fresher the memory, the better. Second, he was still a little faint. not reconciled.

He won't say it directly, but the way of taking care of both is quite good, and Gu Fei won't notice it either.

The vacation ended in such a regular and rhythmic manner, and it was connected with the new semester that started early. Compared with Pan Zhi's tragic fate of going to class on the fourth day of junior high school, the fourth middle school gave him a week off.

"Students! It's February! Don't work hard in February, don't work hard in March, don't work hard in April, May..." Lao Xu stood on the podium and said, probably because he didn't expect that there were so many months before he spoke. , My mouth almost dropped from counting, and I coughed twice before continuing, "If you don't work hard, June will be sad! From now on, you will have no holidays, and you can't relax anymore... "

The day after tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and when Wang Xu came to ask what to give Yi Jinghao for Valentine's Day in the morning, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered, ah, Valentine's Day is coming soon.

It is true that he has exhausted his brain by studying, and has no time to make gifts for Gu Fei, but he still wants to give Gu Fei something, what is it?

"Stop thinking about Valentine's Day!" Old Xu raised his voice, "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your minds!"

Jiang Cheng was startled, raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked up at Old Xu.

Gu Fei laughed beside him: "Did you let Lao Xu hit the mark?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and remained silent.

"It's fine to set off a couple of fireworks while we're taking a walk," Gu Fei said in a low voice, "It's an emergency, so don't think about it."

"There are still fireworks? Didn't Er Miao play it all?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Are you stupid?" Gu Fei said, "You can still buy it on the street now, I bought it."

"Oh," Jiang Cheng sighed with a smile, "That's okay, anyway, it's not bad, let's have a good time next year."

"En." Gu Fei nodded.

"It will be the same next month," Old Xu said earnestly on the podium, "Come on, let me see your strength!"

There was no usual humming in the classroom, probably because they played too crazy during the Chinese New Year and didn't have a good rest. Everyone lay on the table to make up for sleep.

It will be the same next month...

"Look! Countdown! Did you see it!" Lao Xu continued to raise his voice, pointing to the countdown paper above the blackboard, "Come on, students!"

Jiang Cheng leaned back on the chair, there were still 114 days before the college entrance examination.

He knew that there was not much time left, but three months still sounded longer than 114 days. When he suddenly saw the three thin numbers, his heart still tightened.

114 days.

The time he and Gu Fei spent together from morning to night, that is, 114 days plus one... He suddenly became a little confused and couldn't figure out such a simple answer.

But no matter what kind of number, compared with ∞, it seems too thin.
