There are traces of the galaxy

It was almost the end of the year when the instructor announced the holiday.Li Zhi went back to Jilin by himself this time. After leaving the airport, he took the pre-booked car back to the military region, but no one came to pick him up.

Before the plane landed, he took a few pictures of the overlooking snow scene, and on the way back, Lin Chao sent a message to him.

It just snowed a few days ago, and the snow on both sides of the road was very deep. The snow in the middle of the road was shoveled clean, but there was still a layer of ice slag mixed with muddy water, which was dusty.There are no pedestrians on the street, only cars driving on the road, the windows of which are covered with heavy moisture.

As soon as the car door was opened, the howling cold wind rushed in from the outside, freezing people's bones.

It was just after five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the military area, but it was already dark.There seemed to be no one at home, so he went to visit his grandfather first.They all live in this military area. Grandpa's house is a single courtyard, far away from the army's training area and quiet.Li Zhi stayed with him for a long time, and went back after dinner.

When I came back, I saw Jiang Zhao sitting on the wool carpet building Lego.It was hot in the house, and all he was wearing was a light blue long-sleeved dress with a Disney print on it.

"Where's your mother?" Li Zhi took off his down jacket and hung it on the hanger at the door.

Jiang Zhao looked up and said, "Your mother is in the bedroom."

It sounds like you're swearing.Li Zhi let out an "oh", walked into the kitchen, and ignored him.

"I followed my mother to her friend's house today." Jiang Zhao put down the building blocks in his hand, got up from the carpet, and followed into the kitchen.

"Oh."

"When did you come back? Haven't eaten yet?"

"Afternoon, I've eaten." Li Zhi took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator, and made a gesture to ice Jiang Zhao's face, "Do you want to drink it?"

Jiang Zhao hurriedly covered his face with his hands, shaking his head like a rattle: "Don't drink, don't drink!"

Li Zhi smiled and pulled him out of the kitchen.Jiang Zhao waved his hand away: "Your hands are so cold, don't touch me!"

"Yesterday I ate three pieces of cake," Jiang Zhao said after him, "all of them were terrible."

Li Zhi turned his head and said as he walked, "If you eat too much, you will develop tooth decay."

"I don't get cavities!" Jiang Zhao glared at him angrily, "Why don't you ask me why I eat so many cakes?"

so annoying.Li Zhi walked to the carpet, sat down simply, and looked at Jiang Zhao levelly: "Why." The tone was very perfunctory.

Jiang Zhao didn't answer right away.

"Brother." He called out suddenly.

"Huh?" Li Zhi took a sip of yogurt.He had a premonition that Jiang Zhao was exactly the same as Dai Yueran in this point, and every time he was called, there would be no good.

Sitting next to him, Jiang Zhao raised his face: "You haven't given me a birthday present yet."

"..." Li Zhi paused, staring at the yogurt bottle in his hand, "Yesterday was your birthday?"

"Yes." Jiang Zhao nodded.Many people bought him cakes, and he picked three of the most exquisite shapes, and tasted a small piece of each, but none of them tasted very good.He didn't like cake in the first place.

"Oh, happy birthday."

"Brother, should you give me a birthday present?" Jiang Zhao emphasized again.

"What did Jiang Yan give you?" Li Zhi asked.

"Lego."

Li Zhi glanced to the side, only to realize that this pile of colorful building blocks was a gift from Jiang Yan.

"My sister gave it too, but you didn't."

"I forgot." Li Zhi said truthfully.

Jiang Zhao shrugged: "Forgive you, after all, I don't remember your birthday either."

"Then can you tell me a bedtime story?"

Li Zhi laughed: "Are you past the age of listening to bedtime stories?"

I'm six years old and I still listen to bedtime stories.

"No." Jiang Zhao wrinkled his nose and snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door, and Dai Yueran came back with big bags and small bags. The logos of various shopping mall counters were printed on the paper bags.

"Brother, you're back." She stood at the entrance, took off her thin-looking overcoat, revealing her wine-red velvet dress, "It's so cold outside, it froze me to death."

Dai Yueran came over with the bag: "Is this dress pretty?"

"It's okay." Li Zhi prevaricated.

"Not good-looking?" Dai Yueran raised his eyebrows.

Li Zhi categorically denied it: "I didn't say anything."

Dai Yueran has long understood his subtext, "Come on, 'okay' means 'not so good' to you." She has also seen through it a long time ago, Li Zhi is not very honest, he is always unwilling to Express your true thoughts.

Li Zhi didn't say a word, stood up and took the paper bag in her hand, "Go upstairs?"

Jiang Zhao on the side also clapped his hands and got up, "Do you still want to tell me my bedtime story?"

"Have I promised you?" Li Zhi leaned over and cast a questioning look.

"Agreed!" Jiang Zhao pouted, and began to play a rogue.

"Which ear did you hear?"

"Both ears hear!"

"Lying makes your nose grow longer."

"Stop lying!"

Seeing that the two of them looked like they were about to quarrel, Dai Yueran hurriedly reconciled: "Okay, okay, go upstairs," she said in her heart that Li Zhi was childish, and could quarrel with a five or six-year-old child, while coaxing him Jiang Zhao, "I'll tell you later, okay?"

"Yueran," Dai Mengting walked out of the bedroom on the second floor, with a mask on his face, "You bought so many clothes again!"

"New year is to buy new clothes." Dai Yueran stepped on the wooden steps upstairs, his steps were brisk, "Sister-in-law, does this dress look good on me?"

"It's pretty, it shows off your figure, and it makes your skin so white." Dai Mengting boasted.

Dai Yueran was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, I think so too!"

Li Zhi: "..." He felt that this dress looked very old.

Women, a group of creatures who gradually lose themselves in the business exchange.

"When did Xiaozhi come back?" Dai Mengting seemed to have just seen him.

"afternoon."

"You weren't there when I came back this afternoon."

"Go to grandpa's house."

Dai Mengting smiled and said: "It's strange to be sensible, your grandfather always talks about you, and it's not for nothing that he loves you."

Li Zhi smiled.

"I'm free to visit your uncle tomorrow..." Dai Mengting said, pushing open the bathroom door, "I'm going to wash my face first."

"Understood." Li Zhi said.

Arrived at Dai Yueran's house.

"My dad doesn't seem to be home tomorrow."

"Then I'll go at night." Li Zhi put the paper bag on the small sofa.

Dai Yueran threw herself on the bed, "Hey, I'm so tired at home——"

"I see you are very happy," Li Zhi asked again: "By the way, have you seen Jiang Yan and his date?"

"No, my mother said that he brought his partner to pay New Year's greetings in the third year of junior high school," Dai Yueran pouted, nonchalantly, "I've already figured it out, people can't compete with themselves, why should I be unhappy because of them Ah? No offense."

"You're right." Li Zhi hoped that she would really stop fighting, but it might be difficult.

Back in the room, Li Zhi received a reply from Lin Chaosheng: I bought a ticket for the afternoon of the third day of junior high school.

Attached is a screenshot of ticket ordering.

Li Zhi:! ! !

Lin Chaosheng: Are you free to pick me up at the airport?

Li Zhi: Yes!

The two chatted about other topics, and as the night deepened, after saying goodnight to each other, Li Zhi was still not sleepy, and did not fall asleep most of the night.

The next morning, Li Zhi talked about this at the dinner table: "I don't live here at night in the third day of junior high school."

Dai Mengting put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at him: "Going to Linchuan?" His lazy eyes flickered for a moment, and he stabbed straight at him, but his tone was very calm: "Isn't it enough to stay there for the whole summer vacation? ?”

Jiang Zhao, who had already had dinner and played with the dog in the living room, quietly looked in Li Zhi's direction.

After a series of questioning, Li Zhi's expression did not change. After she finished speaking, he explained lightly: "No, I have a friend who is coming over and take him to a hotel."

Dai Mengting paused for a moment, and his words were choking, but his tone was still gentle and gentle, "There's no place for you two here? Can't you live at home?"

"I'm afraid he's not used to it."

"That's fine, it's up to you." Dai Mengting's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak again.

The meal was eaten silently, maybe because he sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Jiang Zhao didn't come over with the dog in his arms.

After eating, Dai Mengting took Jiang Zhao out.

Li Zhi stood by the window sill smoking a cigarette, remembering a long time ago.

More than ten years ago, when he first came here, it was also winter and there was a lot of snow.I don't know whether it was because of the large temperature difference or other reasons, but he had a low-grade fever for several days.That was the rare time in memory that Dai Mengting cared so much about him. He would come in at night to take Li Zhi's body temperature, tuck the corners of the quilt, and tell him not to put his feet outside the quilt when he slept, so that he could feel some dim warmth.

One night, he didn't know how long he had slept in a daze. He woke up very thirsty, and the water in the cup beside the bed was empty, so he opened the door and went to the living room to pour water.

Li Zhi walked lightly, and saw that the lights downstairs were still on, and there were two people standing in the living room.

Jiang Mingqin probably just came back from work, still shaking off the snow particles on his black coat.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" It was Jiang Mingqin's voice.

"Just went to Li Zhi's house, his fever subsides, but he still sleeps dishonestly, hey, I tucked him in a quilt, so he doesn't have a fever again."

"You've worked hard."

The two whispered something again, but Li Zhi didn't hear clearly.When he was about to go down the stairs, he heard Dai Mengting say clearly: "I don't want to pick him up either, my dad insisted that I pick him up."

So...is that so?

Li Zhi thought that Dai Mengting brought him back because he missed him very much and treated him well in order to make up for the days when he was not by his side.

It turned out that she didn't want to take him back either.

Without alarming them, Li Zhi quietly went back to the room.

When I went downstairs the next day and saw Dai Mengting, I was concerned about whether he slept well last night.Looking at her gentle smiling face, Li Zhi felt a little dazed, could the words he heard in the living room last night be actually a dream?
