two-way provocation

Back in the car, on the way to watch the stars outside the village, Qi Mingyu was still very interested in the letter he sent just now.

"Is it okay? I didn't write to your sister." Jin Chen seemed a little sensitive about the content of the letter and the recipient.

"Well, I know." Qi Mingyu leaned his head on one side of the car window, with an unusually calm expression, "Actually, you are not interested in that girl."

Jin Chen froze when he heard the sound, "Huh?"

Qi Mingyu hummed softly nonchalantly, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and said: "We have been out for several days, and Qi Ran didn't come, and you didn't say a word. Look at your happy look, you like her a ghost ah?"

"Then you still play with me so vigorously?" Jin Chen turned his head puzzled.

"Is there any necessary connection between the two? Don't say you have no relationship at all. You are her ex-boyfriend. I may not avoid this suspicion."

Jin Chen leaned on the back of the seat in the back row and pursed his lips, "I found that when you do rational analysis, you are always clear and logical. When it comes to the practical part, all the papers handed in are blank."

Qi Mingyu smiled and said nothing.

It's getting late.

Jin Shen parked the car at an observation point near Beiji Village.There are not many tourists around, only a few people can be seen sporadically.

Choose a location to set up a cold-proof tent and set up a telescope. Although the equipment is a bit simple, the atmosphere is excellent.

The northernmost winter has short days and long nights, and the sky at this time is already pure dark blue.

The sky is deep and the Milky Way is vast.

Even though Qi Mingyu grew up in this place, the feeling of looking up at the stars is never boring.

On such a clear night, a large area of ​​stars is faint, but the Big Dipper is extremely bright, shining like a diamond.

Occasionally, one or two praises from stargazing tourists can be heard in the quiet environment.Exhausting all the beautiful words I have learned is not enough to describe the shock of nature.

Jin Chen's neck was a little stiff from the cold, but he insisted on recording the star trails with his camera.

In the extremely low temperature, the down on his hat had lost its softness and was covered with ice fog.Later, I really couldn't bear the chill that permeated the bones, so I got into the tent with a warm water bag to relax.

Qi Mingyu looked at the back of the deserted man, smiled softly, followed him into the tent, and brought the cold air all over his body into the tent.

He opened his mouth and bit off the heavy gloves, took out a small kettle from the backpack he brought, and poured the liquid into his mouth from a short distance without touching the mouth of the kettle with his lips.

Then he handed it to Jin Chen, "Do you want it?"

Jin Chen smelled the mellow smell coming out of the small pot, which was a bit like rice wine. After taking a sip, he realized that it was actually spicy and choking.

I just felt a hot current rushing down my throat, as if burning in my body to keep warm.

"Hmm." The young man frowned in discomfort, then put the water bottle back into Qi Mingyu's hand, who was smiling heartily.

The two lay side by side in the same cold-proof tent, passed a pot of soju back and forth to drink, and unknowingly dispelled the cold in the night.

"You are really good at drinking." Qi Mingyu moved a little in the original nest, and the cotton material was rustling.

Jin Chen huddled his whole body in his down jacket and sleeping bag, buried his head down, and replied softly, "It's no match for someone like you who drinks and talks about boxes."

"chilly?"

Seeing the people around him start to look sleepy again, Qi Mingyu got up and put away the things he was carrying with him. "Let's go back."

As the night got darker, the group left the observation point like other tourists and drove back to the town.

On the way, the sky that was still as clear as a mirror just now gradually became cloudy.By the time I got back to my grandmother's old house, it was already snowing outside.

No one has lived in this house for a long time, and although there is still heating, it is not very warm.Qi Mingyu spread a layer of soft cushions on the electric heated low kang, and it was much more comfortable to lie on it.

After Jin Chen washed up, he sat down and sorted out the photos he took tonight, and chatted casually with his deskmate.

"According to the current situation, the snow will not stop for a while."

"Well, it is very likely that the road will be closed tomorrow, and it needs to be cleaned up for a while, so we can't go for the time being."

Qi Mingyu's voice was low and strange, Jin Chen looked up and found that the person on the kang had already wrapped himself into a rice dumpling.

"...What are you doing? Is it that cold in this room?"

"Make preparations first." Qi Mingyu replied solemnly, "It's used to guard against you."

After all, if the quilt is still robbed in such a ghostly weather, there is a high probability that he will catch a cold.

Jin Chen was first surprised by the bewildering behavior, and then couldn't help laughing, the sarcastic laughter was broken and tingly, which made people's heart itch.

Seeing the corners of the boy's mouth crazily raised, Qi Mingyu's eyelids twitched, "Don't laugh, I'm scared."

Jin Chen put down the camera and waved his hands, sat on the edge of the kang and patted the "rice dumpling stuffing" under the quilt, with a mysterious tone: "Do you know what you look like?"

"Ang?" Qi Mingyu stretched out his neck from under the quilt to look at it, as long as he didn't have any good words.

The person who couldn't help laughing opened the search bar of the mobile phone, found a still photo of a dog blood in an ancient costume TV series, and handed it to him.

Qi Mingyu glanced at the picture on the screen of "the concubine was wrapped in a quilt and sent to the dragon bed before going to bed", and her face turned ashamed.

"...Are you looking for kicks? Why do I always feel that you don't respect me very much after you get to know me well?"

Jin Chen threw back a bright wink smile, shook his single index finger and said, "You think too much, it's never-come-never-yet."

"Are you teasing a dog?" Qi Mingyu stretched out his arms, put his big palm on the side of Jin Chen's head, and slapped it on the pillow.

Then, seeing that the man didn't get up for a while, he couldn't help doubting himself: "Is my strike so hard?"

"Just now you smashed all the snow that was thrown into my head today into mud." The young master lay down on the bed and touched the porcelain regardless of his image.

"Don't blackmail people." Qi Mingyu gently peeled off his coat gently, "Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Jin Chen got up and straightened the pillows in his arms, and asked him about tomorrow's arrangements, "Where are you going?"

Qi Mingyu didn't answer, and after turning off the ceiling light with a slap, he jokingly said, "I'll sell you at another place."

In the early morning of the second day, the town was blocked by heavy snow as expected.

I don't know when the fog started to fall. When I woke up in the morning, there was already a thick whiteness outside the window.

Qi Mingyu didn't even know what kind of perseverance he used to leave the seal of the warm quilt, and took Jin Chen to go out in a cloak in the dim sky.

The trails that had been walked yesterday had completely changed in the morning mist.The line of sight is blocked, and even the very near scenery can only present a blurred shadow.

In this kind of weather, the road to climb the hill is not easy, and one has to proceed cautiously. Jin Chen obediently and trustingly followed behind Qi Mingyu.

He buried his chin deeply into the down jacket collar, revealing only half of his delicate face.Because I got up too early and I was a little sleepy, I took a light breath from time to time to wake up.

"Wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Qi Mingyu was suddenly stopped by someone walking behind, stopped and turned to look at him.

"Stand still." Jin Chen lightly kicked the thick tree trunk diagonally behind while speaking.

Clean and soft new snow trembled down from the branches of the tree, and danced between Qi Mingyu's black hair.

Occasionally, a few cold hexagonal ice crystals fell into the collar, and disappeared silently after a while.

"I'll try." Qi Mingyu shook his head casually, shaking off the snow foam on his bangs, and asked to change places with Jin Chen.

boom.

He stepped down with no effort at all, and even the dry branches trembled three times.A large mass of heavy snow fell in response, hitting the head of the person under the tree.

Jin Chen was baptized by the sudden blizzard, and half of his body was bleached instantly.

"childish!"

"Hahaha."

The good tutor of 17 years forced Jin Chen to swallow the swear words that he was about to utter, and angrily chased after the perpetrator in three steps at a time.

As the sun gradually rose, the two teenagers played together in the forest where the silver gauze was fading.

Looking along the stone steps behind them, the rime is lingering, and the world covered in silver is like a waterfall in Tianchi.

When Qi Mingyu was a child, she often heard from her grandmother that if she prayed in the pine forest after snow, it would be very effective, but she didn't know if it could still be regarded as sincerity when being chased and beaten.

When the two of them returned from Pine Garden tired from playing, the sun had already risen high.

Qi Mingyu stopped by the convenience store near the old house and bought minced meat and dough to make dumplings.Opening the cotton curtain and entering the room, while exhaling on the hands that were almost so cold that they were almost unconscious, they could also tell the tablemate how superb their skill in rolling dough was.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the dumplings in the pot were all stuck.In the end, Jin Chen still ate half of the plate with dignity.

"Brother, do you want to eat dumplings?" The remaining half of the pot of dumplings was presented to Jin Shen by the two of them.

"Hey, don't tell me I thought it was noodles in soup."

Brother Shen used the kitchen to boil ginger soup to dispel the cold, carefully put it into a thermos, handed it to Jin Chen, and said, "I don't want to eat it. It's too cold, so don't keep running out. Be careful not to catch a cold and get scolded."

"Then you wash the dishes." Jin Chen took the thermos cup and put it in his arms, smiled and waved his hands, and followed Qi Mingyu to the yard to build a snow house.

"..." I wash the dishes?

Jin Shen didn't take back his hand that was in mid-air for several seconds, looking at the back who had already run away, he hypnotized himself.

Forget it, it's rare for a child to be happy.

The new snow is cottony and soft.

Qi Mingyu's igloo was erected and then collapsed, pinning him down several times, and finally brushed off the snow on his body and chose to give up.Sitting on the boulder at the gate of the courtyard and talking to Jin Chen.

Talk about those interesting activities in winter: digging ice on the frozen river to catch fish; taking moss and bread to the reindeer garden to feed the reindeer; calling a couple of friends to have a snowball fight, the kind of insurance...

Speaking of his childhood friend, he casually pointed to a house not far away and said, "The one next to it is Meng Ju's house."

"So you two are really young." Jin Chen, who had never liked to make friends, began to envy such old friends for no reason.

"Are there many ethnic minorities here?"

"Yes, but I'm of the Han nationality, and Meng Ju is of the Xibe nationality. He kept saying that he wanted to rely on this college entrance examination to get extra points and beat me."

"But actually Meng Xueshen doesn't need to rely on that at all."

……

While chatting, Jin Chen forgot about the ginger soup he was holding in his hand, until the person who condescended to finish washing the dishes pushed the door out and asked with eyebrows raised.

"Have you finished drinking? Bring the cup."

"Ah, drink now."

Qi Mingyu looked at the expression on the man's face when he approached the mouth of the cup, and found it very funny, "You don't like the taste of ginger, do you?"

"En." Taking advantage of the time when Brother Shen entered the room, the young master turned around and was about to pour it out secretly.

"Hey, have you ever heard that splashing water turns into ice?" Qi Mingyu stopped him from raising his wrist on the spot, and smiled softly: "Tell me the reason for the temporary quiz of the Wujing team."

"It's okay to change it to an experimental question." Jin Chen raised his eyebrows and walked to the courtyard in two steps.

Qi Mingyu squatted down into the snow knowingly, took out his camera, and pointed it at the slender boy against the sun.

"3, 2, 1—"

The ginger soup that was still boiling hot in the thermos was pushed out by Jin Chen.

With the action of splashing, the hot water instantly turned into a majestic arc-shaped mist in the extremely cold environment.Falling in all directions like white fireworks, it freezes into a stunning landscape in the camera.

"Cough cough."

Jin Shen, who had been leaning against the door frame silently for a while, covered the corner of his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly to remind him.

"puff……"

The two naive ghosts who were held down on the spot for playing tricks laughed and fled in the same direction in a very tacit understanding, leaving a straight figure on the spot and breaking their hearts.

The author has something to say:

Jin Shen: Heh, it's a good game.
