Jing Xiao had a dream.He dreamed that when he was a teenager, he was walking home, with a cool breeze under the shade of the trees, and the sound of cicadas chirping in his ears.

Dreams have always had the magical function of giving you the illusion that you know, even though it is impossible to know the exact moment in time.For example, Jing Xiao knew that his dog died on the way home that day.He didn't really want to continue on the road that he already knew the ending, but his legs in the dream were not controlled by his brain, and they kept moving forward.

Turning the corner, there was no puppy lying on the ground in the empty street.Jing Xiao didn't expect it, so he froze in place.Perhaps because it was in a dream, he was a little more curious and patient than usual.He waited quietly, wanting to see what would happen next.

Maybe a minute later, maybe an hour later, a small figure suddenly bumped into Jing Xiao's sight.

He watched as he stretched out his hands, caught the warm little thing, and rubbed it into his arms fiercely.He was like another soul living in his younger self, conscious but out of control.

He wanted to tell himself it wasn't that puppy anymore.But the happiness belonging to another self in his heart is so strong, so strong that he can't help but feel that it doesn't matter if they are not the same one.

Because in the end, they'll all be his.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Qiu was still sleeping in his arms.Jing Xiao tightened his arms, couldn't help sniffing the sunshine on the boy's body and thought: Today is Sunday, and he can still have a good sleep with his doll in his arms.very nice.

Soon, the whole company knew that the president was really in love.The president's wife is the teenager who was bumped into by the little secretary in the office a while ago.The young man was cute and soft, and he stuck to the president's back all day long, but he had never seen the serious president get impatient.Everyone thought, this must be true love.The president is simply happy.

But in fact, Jing Xiao feels that he is not happy at all recently.

He is too busy.There was a sudden problem with the capital chain of the cooperative company, and even the family was in chaos.In this way, the time to spend with Li Qiu will naturally be much less.Obviously, the two are in the period of passionate love at this time.

But Li Qiu didn't have much reaction to this.He felt that as long as he could stay by Jing Xiao's side, it would be the same wherever he was.He doesn't care if Jing Xiao's eyes are on him all the time, as long as he is around this person, even if that person is too busy to spare a second to pay attention to him, Li Qiu is very happy.

So when Jing Xiao finished his work and finally got distracted to look at his doll, the heartless Li Qiu had already nestled on the soft sofa and fell asleep.

"Baby, get up and go home to sleep." Jing Xiao dug Li Qiu out of the sofa, and put on a soft woolen coat for him.Li Qiu woke up in a daze, his tender face lightly rubbed against Jing Xiao's shoulder, and he leaned against Jing Xiao's tall body as if he had no bones.

The weather in December is already very cold, and the heat from my own exhalation can be clearly seen in the night air.Li Qiu looked at it strangely, and was reluctant to go in when they were at the door of the house.In a daze, Jing Xiao was asked to stand outside with him for another 10 minutes until he had seen enough places.

"The weather forecast says that it will snow in many places in the north, will it also snow here?" When going up the stairs, Li Qiu gently grabbed Jing Xiao's hand in his coat pocket and asked.

"Maybe it will fall during the Chinese New Year. It hasn't snowed here for several years. Want to see it?" Jing Xiao clenched Li Qiu's cold paws, and began to think about whether to take Li Qiu to the north for two days during the Chinese New Year.

"Yeah. It's snow-white and snow-white, so beautiful." Li Qiu recalled the pure white scene in the northern forest that he saw on TV, and couldn't help squinting his eyes happily.

"Then I'll take you to see the snow during the Chinese New Year." Jing Xiao opened the door with the key and immediately turned on the central air conditioner at home. Li Qiu was cold all over.

"Chinese New Year?" Li Qiu blinked and suddenly became excited, "Can we set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year? It is said on TV that you can also receive red envelopes to buy new clothes."

Looking at the doll with bright eyes like stars, Jing Xiao couldn't help but start to look forward to the New Year.He gently hugged the boy who was still jumping happily into his arms, and tightly folded his arms: "So happy?"

"I want to celebrate the New Year with Jing Xiao. We can live anywhere together." Looking at Jing Xiao's heroic side face, Li Qiu's face suddenly turned red, and his voice became softer.However, he still firmly expressed his strong expectation for celebrating the New Year with Jing Xiao.

"Well, me too." Jing Xiao lowered his head to enclose Li Qiu's lips and kissed him, his tongue thinly swept every place in Li Qiu's mouth, until the person in his arms struggled a little, and then reluctantly let go.

Licking my lips, it tastes like pineapple cake.Sweet into the mouth, straight into the heart.

There is something wrong with Li Qiu recently.He began to doze off all day long, always in a daze, and couldn't wake up no matter how he slept.My body is also much colder than before. Sometimes I stay outside for a long time, and I can't get warm no matter how warm I am.Jing Xiao didn't know what was going on, he was anxious, and even the air pressure emitted by his whole body was much lower than before.

After work that day, he didn't drive and walked home alone.Li Qiu's state was too abnormal, Jing Xiao hadn't slept well for several nights.Every time I close my eyes, I am afraid that when I open them again, there will be nothing left in my arms.

The bright pink color suddenly came into view, and Jing Xiao was surprised to find that the doll shop that closed down shortly after he took the doll had reopened at some point.

It is still decorated in all pink, with countless colorful lights shining.Pushing open the store door, Jing Xiao seemed to be in Alice's environment again.

Behind the counter stood the man who was always smiling, smoking a cigarette, just like when Jing Xiao first met him.The man just leaned there quietly, and was not surprised when he saw Jing Xiao, as if he had been waiting for him to appear.

"What did you lie to me?" Jing Xiao suddenly recalled the man's words at that time, only felt his whole body was icy cold, and his fingertips couldn't help trembling slightly.He used to think that the promise that it would come true was just a man's marketing scam, so after Li Qiu appeared, he left many things far behind.Thinking about it now, I just feel that my whole heart feels as if it is being clenched tightly by one hand, it hurts a lot.

The man flicked off the cigarette ash and said with a smile: "There is a limit to wishes. If they are too big, the doll will disappear."

Jing Xiao didn't know how he walked home, he quietly opened the bedroom door, and carefully observed Liqiu's sleeping face from the subtle light.When Li Qiu fell asleep, he was always very obedient, motionless, and would just nest quietly in his arms.The light brown curly hair hangs softly on the side of the face, and sometimes it gently sweeps over the side of Jing Xiao's face, tickling, waking him up.

"Baby..." Jing Xiao carefully carried Li Qiu into his arms, lowered his head slightly and sniffed the scent of shower gel on Li Qiu's neck.Warm, with a bit of pineapple sweetness.

Liqiu, who was awakened during the movement, turned around and wrapped his arms around Jing Xiao's neck, tightly clinging to his generous arms: "You are back. Why is it so late today?"

"Well, something is delayed." The warm temperature in the bed is the best refuge in the cold winter, it's too warm, the warm Jing Xiao has goose bumps all over his body, "Baby, let's go to the north tomorrow, okay?" ? Take you to see the snow."

"But isn't there still one month left before Chinese New Year?" Li Qiu asked a little strangely.

"I want to take you there sooner." Jing Xiao said softly, looking carefully at the person in his arms, refusing to let go of every detail.

"That's good. But is the company okay?" Li Qiu was still a little worried.

"It's okay, Xie Yirui is watching." After a pause, Jing Xiao suddenly said to Li Qiu, "Li Qiu, I love you."

The person in his arms stiffened for a moment, and then he relaxed and approached Jing Xiao's arms again.Li Qiu raised his head and looked directly at Jing Xiao, his amber eyes were full of golden light from the moonlight.He said to Jing Xiao seriously: "Me too. I love you very much."

Jing Xiao's embrace was so warm that day, Liqiu couldn't help but want to just curl up in his embrace for the rest of his life.Seeing how charming Xue's temptation is, Li Qiu decided to go see the snow with Jing Xiao tomorrow before falling asleep, and then celebrate the New Year together, set off firecrackers together, and give each other red envelopes.We also have to make dumplings together, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then...

Li Qiu imagined many, many futures, but the last one failed to come true.

When Jing Xiao woke up the next morning, he found that his doll had disappeared.

There is a limit to wishes, if they are too big, the doll will disappear.Because the wish that the doll can bear is limited, if the wish is too strong, the doll has to realize it at the cost of disappearing in the end.

If you are not the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life in my wish, then I don't want it anymore.Jing Xiao thought so as he kissed the boy with a bright smile in the photo.
