Years old

When Qin Di got up, his bones creaked like a small bench that had been in disrepair.On the first day, the first truth that life taught him was that even a vigorous boy of seventeen or eighteen years old would not be able to fight in the snow all afternoon.

He got out of bed and touched the padded jacket and school uniform trousers that were placed next to the heater. As expected, the heater in their community barely kept the room temperature at 20 degrees, and even a pair of socks could not be dried.He could only dig out the pair of jeans and the gray lapel jacket with white lambswool lining that he often wears in autumn, and at the risk of waking up Jiang Hong who was rubbing hemp all night, he cooked himself a bowl of longevity noodles.

City S was devastated by the heavy snow and temporarily surrendered. The sanitation workers worked hard to clean up all night. Qin Di could still hear the sound of snow plows in the early morning. When he went out, he found that the main road was clear. He stood by the side of the road for a while, and went to take the bus as usual.Today there is a cheerful English song in the earphones, yesterday he listened to it from the earphones handed over by Qi Songyan, he inexplicably liked it, the single looped until he fell asleep in a daze, and just missed the zero hour.

When he walked into the classroom, he wanted to guess that he was not the only one who was taught to be a man by life. It was not very early, but the class was empty.After warming his hands on the radiator for a while, he turned around and took out a cardboard box in his schoolbag and checked every corner. He was lost in thought when Qi Songyan's voice suddenly sounded next to his ear: "What are you doing?"

He was so frightened that he pushed the paper box back into his school bag, looked up and glared at Qi Song and said, "You're crazy! Walking silently."

Qi Songyan put his hands behind his back and straightened his waist: "Tell me, what prohibited items are hidden, and quickly share them with Brother Qi Miao."

Qin Di's heart tightened, he stuffed his schoolbag behind his waist, and said lightly: "It's nothing. Why are you here so early?"

"Come to give a gift." Qi Songyan picked up a hard paper bag from behind and put it in front of Qin Di.

But Qin Di just stared at the bag in a daze, without any intention of opening it.

Qi Song said in a hurry: "Someone will come in a while, and it will be wrong for me to report to Xiaoshuai. Let me tell you first, I spent money and violated the class rules, but the money is lucky money. I also picked gifts for a few days. It's out of my heart." For the sake of my birthday, can I accept it?"

Without waiting for Qin Di's answer, he picked up a down jacket from the paper bag and urged Qin Di: "Take off the clothes."

Qin Di was still in a daze from the paper bag to the down jacket, her eyes widened and she leaned back after hearing this sentence.

Qi Songyan glanced at his watch, was in a hurry, and made a gesture to pull his zipper, Qin Di stood up suddenly: "I, I take it off myself." He blushed and took off his coat, and Qi Songyan had already stretched his sleeves behind him.

On the upper body of the new clothes, Qi Songyan closed the two buttons for him, looked at him three times, and smiled brightly.

The orange down jacket just covers the hip line, the sleeve length and shoulder width are just right, the brim of the hat has a beige fringe, and the soft fur front is like a dandelion, swaying lightly with the movement.This may be the first time Qi Songyan sees Qin Di in bright colors other than summer school uniforms, which complements his fair skin and adds a lot of brilliance, like the warm sun in the winter afternoon, and like plump and juicy California oranges, a lovely bunch into his eyes.

Under his smiling gaze, Qin Di forced his hands into the pockets on both sides calmly, but found a piece of candy and a card. He lowered his head, and on the card in his palm, Qi Songyan wrote in the neatest font in his life: "Qin Di, happy birthday, may every year be sweeter."

Who should the pounding heartbeat and pantothenic lacrimal gland suppress first?He pinched the card tightly, his lips pursed into a line.

Qi Songyan put away the paper bag, bent down to look into his tightly bowed head, and lightly bumped his arm: "Don't be so embarrassing, just treat me as a fawning boss, I should thank you for my steady progress. The label has already been cut, don’t say I gave it to anyone who asks, otherwise they will all come to curry favor with you, and I won’t be able to grab the food bowl.”

Qin Di unbuttoned the button, zipped it up, and pushed the buttons back one by one.He raised his eyes and asked, "How do you know what size I wear?"

Seeing that he didn't look unhappy, Qi Songyan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, spread his legs, gave him a sideways look, and said with a smirk, "I hugged him before. The sports meeting."

"With a measuring tape on your arm?"

"It's about the same width from my forehead to my chin, and my shoulders encircle me." He compared it with his hands.

Of course, it cannot be said that in order to choose a reference with a suitable body shape, he enthusiastically embraced more than a dozen mannequins in the mall, and finally found one that was about the size of Qin Di when he hugged it. When he put the down jacket on, the lady at the counter was caught by him The kind smile on his face was stunned.He looks so handsome, but his brain is not working.But Qi Songyan didn't care about that, he hugged the paper bag and bowed to the little sister, and ran away happily.

Qin Di didn't say he liked it or thank you, but he always felt that Qin Di looked down at the cuffs and skirt every few seconds, his gaze was as soft as gazing at a newborn flower.That's what I like, no matter what, I just like it, the more Qi Songyan thinks about it, the happier he becomes, he almost wants to rush downstairs and run a few laps in the snow.

One after another, students came to the school dragging their bodies, and whoever saw Qin Di would praise Qin Di for his beautiful coat.Seeing his happy face, Wang Churan suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh! Is it your birthday today?"

Li Mingxuan also patted his forehead: "That's right! I never caught up with you at school, I forgot! Di, happy birthday!"

After hearing this, everyone gathered around and congratulated everyone.Qin Di quickly grabbed Qi Songyan: "It's his birthday too."

Li Mingxuan was enlightened: "My God! That's right! Why didn't I think of it earlier! This is, Double Happiness!"

Xu Chang took off his schoolbag, scratched his head, leaned over and said, "I didn't prepare anything, I just came up to see that the snow on the playground is still in good condition, why don't we give them a word."

"Wow, take me one!" Liu Xiaotong jumped up from the chair.

Regardless of Qin Di's obstruction, a group of people rushed downstairs, Qi Songyan looked back at Qin Di and ran out.

Qin Di jumped over the tables and chairs to the window. The boys and girls wore various coats, like a handful of candy sprinkled into white cream, jumping and rolling out strokes.Qin Di stood on the cold window sill, watching them step on the words "Happy Birthday" step by step, Qi Songyan didn't know when he got in there, stood on the far right, and saw that everyone stepped on the words in a similar manner, so he took a few steps steadily Stepped on a thick straight line, paused, leaped lightly, and stepped on the ground a few times, like a giant exclamation point.

Several people burst into laughter, clapped hands with each other, looked up at Qin Di by the window, waved vigorously at him, and shouted: "Happy birthday!"

Only Qi Songyan stood beside the exclamation mark with his hands in his pockets.Qin Di struggled to open the frozen window several times but failed to open it, so he could only wave his hands against the glass.Following Qi Songyan's gaze, he looked at the point under the exclamation mark, and always felt that it was not so round, with two arcs on the top, and the bottom was drawn inward...like a chubby heart.He fell into confusion and hesitation for ten seconds, but he was quickly attracted by the smile Qi Songyan sent from across the air. Even when he smiled, the slightly drooping eye ends could not stop the warmth in his heart, and the dimples were brewing for no reason in the severe winter The news of spring, melting ice and snow, such as seeing for the first time.

Qin Di hurriedly took out his phone, but the image left behind was not very clear, only a few large characters in the snow were shining brightly, which he and Qi Songyan arrived together.

The whole day, no matter how warm it was in the classroom, Qin Di didn't take off the orange down jacket.When it was really hot, I opened my arms. If I couldn’t open my arms, I took off the turtleneck white sweater inside, and took a spare T-shirt from the locker to change into.Qi Songyan saw that he was breathing heavily from the heat, and advised him to take it off. He gulped down cold water and insisted that he was naturally afraid of the cold in winter.Qi Songyan suppressed his laughter and didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, I basically listened to Director Zhang broadcasting the winter vacation arrangements, while distributing homework for each subject.Several class representatives turned around, and papers like snowflakes flew all over the sky.Qin Di sent the text, and Qi Songyan sorted out the homework of the two of them by himself, sweating from the busy work, watching Qin Di's figure running neatly while clutching his down jacket, he suddenly realized that he might not see him for the next month.

Taking advantage of the recess, he pulled Li Mingxuan out of the classroom to plan a birthday dinner for the four-person team. Of course Li Mingxuan raised his hands in favor and wanted to go upstairs to inform Tong Chenxing, but Qi Songyan's mother's phone call came in at this time.Qi Songyan's heart sank, and he walked into the bathroom a few steps: "Hello, Mom."

"School is over soon? Aunt Shen said you don't have evening classes now."

"Well, there's one more chapter."

"Uncle Li will pick you up at the door after school. The private room here is reserved, so come directly to the hotel."

"Wait a minute, Mom. With whom?"

"A few friends of your father and I know that you have specially taken time out to arrange for your birthday today. People are coming one after another. I will pick them up. Don't say anything, just hang up."

"Hello? Hello?..." Qi Songyan frowned and closed his eyes hard.Li Mingxuan felt bad since he knew it was his mother's call just now, but seeing Qi Songyan's face, he knew that tonight's dinner party might be going bad.This kind of situation is not new, we have known each other for four and a half years, several times Qi Songyan was forcibly picked up with just one phone call.In addition to promoting cups and glasses for business entertainment, another common topic is to talk about children.First set the stage with a few words, then call people over, demote Qi Songyan's ordinary grades to nothing, to flatter the other party's child, plus he is good-looking and polite, and he can drink a few glasses of wine, basically It is a perfect entertainment pendant.In the past two years, Li Mingxuan heard him complain occasionally, and then his father had a stomach bleed after drinking alcohol on a social occasion, and he kept silent about it since then.

"It's okay, we can make an appointment for dinner at any time. After the Spring Festival, we can go out for a while. I haven't been to the newly opened Internet cafe on Zhongyang Road yet."

Qi Songyan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxuan."

"Oh, I forgot your birthday, so I should be sorry. Please have a good meal during the holidays."

Qi Songyan patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to go out, but when he reached the stairs, he was stopped by Yunan who appeared out of nowhere.

"Qi Songyan, happy birthday."

"Thank you." He barely moved the corner of his mouth, replied politely, and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, this is for you." Yunan took a beautiful rose-colored paper bag and handed it to him.

Immediately, several eyes gathered between them in the corridor. Qi Songyan's face gradually turned cold, and he tried his best to maintain a decent tone and refused: "Our class rules do not allow giving and receiving birthday gifts to each other. I accept it."

Yu Nan raised his arm, persisted for a while, finally put it down, but took out a greeting card from inside and handed it over again. "Then you can accept this, it's a blessing," Yu Nan took a step forward, begging softly in his ear, "Don't embarrass me..."

Qi Songyan accepted the card silently, stepped on the class bell, pulled Li Mingxuan who was stunned the whole time, and walked towards the class without looking back.
