Orange storm

This red light lasts for 120 seconds, which is exactly 2 minutes. In 2 minutes, Fang Jie's mind seemed to go through a storm, and it seemed to be blank again.

It wasn't until the light turned green that Jiang Zhijin had already driven the car for a while, and Fang Jie seemed to come back to his senses.

"no--"

Fang Jie felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed by Jiang Zhijin's words.He kept turning his head to look at Jiang Zhijin, and his voice was a little tight when he spoke.

"what do you mean?"

Since Jiang Zhijin knew that Fang Jie liked him, and Fang Jie knew that the other party knew that he liked him, the communication between the two seemed to be at a paradoxical boundary.For example, the boy you like, the person you like, or... a relationship.

But Fang Jie was a little shocked when Jiang Zhijin said it so lightly today.

"It's not interesting. I think you want to say it but don't know if you can say it." Jiang Zhijin smiled and sighed while driving, "Poor boy."

Someone you like is waiting at a red light.

This sentence that was said casually, like a joke, made Fang Jie feel a little itchy like a feather passing by.

Fang Jie pursed his lips, turned his head and sat looking forward, a little dazed, and a little bit wanting to laugh.He laughed for a while, finally cleared his throat and said, "I..."

The person I like knows that I like him, how does he think about it?Have you considered it?Does he... want to have a relationship with me?

"I'm also... waiting for the red light." Finally, Fang Jie said.

At the crossroads of a long life, confused and lonely, waiting for a red light that counts down a few seconds, let go of his first love and restless youth.

Jiang Zhijin turned his head and glanced at Fang Jie, and suddenly smiled after a while.

"Understood." Jiang Zhijin said softly.

After class was suspended for three days, Jiang Zhijin took Fang Jie home directly, and put all the textbook review materials he brought back.

Jiang Zhijin waited for Fang Jie to go back to the room to put things away, and then said when he came out: "Although I can understand the reason this time, but after all, you are a third-year classmate in high school, and it is quite serious to suspend classes for three days."

"Can I review it myself?" he asked.

"It should be possible." Jiang Zhijin's tone was no longer joking, and Fang Jie nodded seriously. "The classes that I haven't attended in the past few days, when I go back, I will ask my classmates for notes to make up. There shouldn't be a big problem."

"Okay." Jiang Zhijin smiled. "No matter what you do, just be responsible for what you do."

"Oh." Fang Jie paused, "The same goes for falling in love, right?"

"...Your love brain is a bit serious, student Fang Jie." Jiang Zhijin narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a moment, "Can you consider your studies first?"

"Yes." Fang Jie replied immediately.

Jiang Zhijin smiled: "There are quite a lot of people in Yunqi tonight, so you have to stay longer, you can review at home. Gu Xun, Zhou Hong and I will have dinner there directly. If you are too lazy to come, just order takeaway , if you want to come—”

"Come."

"...Then come by yourself at six o'clock." Jiang Zhijin smiled.

After Jiang Zhijin left, Fang Jie quickly changed into his school uniform, took a shower, and sat down at his desk.He set an alarm clock for five o'clock with his mobile phone, then put on his earphones and started to review.

The door of his bedroom was not closed, and Tang Yuan came in at some point, walked around Fang Jie twice, saw that Fang Jie ignored him, and began to curl up under his chair and began to doze off.

Fang Jie took a long time to review this time, and he didn't take a break in the middle. He didn't move his body until the alarm clock vibrated, he turned off the alarm clock and took off his earphones.

My neck and shoulders are a little sore, but my mind is still clear.Fang Jie rested for 2 minutes, stood up and prepared to go out.

Tangyuan felt the movement of the chair, and immediately jumped out from under the stool.Fang Jie picked it up with one hand, carried it to the living room, poured cat food for him, and tore a packet of Miaoxianbao.

"Christmas Eve. I'll give you a good meal." Fang Jie flicked the head of the glutinous rice balls lightly, got up, grabbed his coat and went out.

After leaving the unit building, Fang Jie realized that it was snowing.

The snow is not heavy, but a thin layer of white has accumulated on the ground, and I don't know when it started to fall.

It may be because of the festive atmosphere, even in such a cold day, there are still quite a lot of people in the community.Several parents were playing in the snow with their children wrapped up like bears, and there were also some pretty girls who were walking out of the community while making phone calls while laughing.

Fang Jie took a taxi, got in and reported Yun Qi's address.The driver was a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s. He smiled and asked, "Go out to spend the holidays with your girlfriend, handsome guy?"

Fang Jie smiled, but said nothing.

There were a lot of people and cars on the street, and the road was a bit congested. It was almost ten minutes after six o'clock before Fang Jie finally reached the gate of Yunqi.When he paid and got off the car, three people were already standing at the door.

Seeing Fang Jie, Zhou Hong called his name first. "Hurry up, Brother Jiang is treating you today, let's go and have a good meal!"

Jiang Zhijin was smoking a cigarette at the side. When he saw Fang Jie, he put out the cigarette with a smile and waved at him.

The weather was too cold, and several people went to a hot pot restaurant.This house looks ordinary from the outside, just a courtyard, but the space inside is quite large.There is no lobby, and the two-story circular structure is all private rooms.No matter which private room you look out from, you can see the courtyard in the middle.There is a small pond and some scattered evergreen trees, which are still green in winter, covered by the snow just now, very beautiful.

It is estimated that Jiang Zhijin said something about the school, Zhou Hong and Gu Xun didn't ask Fang Jie why he didn't go to school.After finishing ordering and waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Gu Xun just smiled and asked, "Today's Christmas Eve, do you want Fang Jie to celebrate the festival together at Yunqi? We lack a strong man for the event."

"what activity?"

"Pretend to be Santa Claus, and give candies and Christmas hats to every guest who comes in." Zhou Hong interjected.

Fang Jie nodded: "...really creative."

"Come on, we still have the link of writing wish cards and drawing gifts, just in case you are the lucky one." Gu Xun said.

"Stop coming." Jiang Zhijin smiled. "After dinner, he has to go back and read for me."

"Do you have any empathy for teenagers? You let people go back to read books during the holidays." Gu Xun laughed and turned to look at Fang Jie. "Where there is oppression, there must be resistance, student Fang Jie."

"No need, we teenagers generally don't celebrate Christmas," Fang Jie said.

Jiang Zhijin glanced at him upon hearing this, and smiled inexplicably.

"...It's really good." Gu Xun said with a smile, "I can't say no to you two, after all, you two—"

Gu Xun paused for a moment, his eyes scanned the faces of the two people, and then he continued slowly.

"Father and son are connected, right?"

Jiang Zhijin kicked him neatly.

According to Gu Xun, this shop is the most authentic copper pot. All the beef and mutton are airlifted from Inner Mongolia on the same day, and the quality of the meat is very good.Of course, the price is also quite awesome, four people actually ate four figures at the checkout.

After leaving the restaurant, Gu Xun and Zhou Hong had already left, ready to get dressed in Santa Claus clothes before the door opened.Fang Jie was going to take a taxi home. The location of the store was quite remote and difficult to locate. He and Jiang Zhijin were going to walk along the alley for a while.

The snow had stopped, and there was a white layer on the ground, which creaked when stepped on.The two walked side by side with their hands in their pockets. The red lanterns that had been hung for an unknown amount of time in the alley dangled, casting swaying shadows on the snow.

"You really want to dress up as Santa Claus and distribute candy?" The three Santa Clauses spread candy all over Yunqi... Fang Jie glanced at Jiang Zhijin, imagined the scene, and thought it was a bit funny.

"The two of them, not me." Jiang Zhijin corrected.

Fang Jie asked, "Why don't you wear it?"

"Because I'm the boss." Jiang Zhijin said.

Fang Jie laughed for a long time: "It's amazing."

Jiang Zhijin glanced at him with a smile: "You are better."

"..." Fang Jie glanced at him: "What do you mean?"

"Originally tomorrow Christmas, you were suspended from school, I was thinking whether I should take you out to play in the afternoon, to relax or something..."

After Jiang Zhijin finished speaking, there was already an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"But you just said that teenagers don't celebrate Christmas. You're so awesome. I dare not say that."

"...You did it on purpose." Fang Jie looked at Jiang Zhijin.

Jiang Zhi enjoyed himself for a long time, and finally asked: "Should we go, Xueba?"

What I said an hour ago, if I go back on it now, it would be really shameful, the dignity of a teenager is broken in the hot pot soup...

"Go." Fang Jie sighed.

Shame on shame.
