a man who appears once a year

"Do you have any other sports?" Ruan Qiuping asked.

"No more." Yu Huan took Ruan Qiuping's hand and led him forward, "The school sports meeting will be held for three consecutive days, and I only participated in two, one is today's long-distance run, and the other is the day after tomorrow relay match."

The boy's fiery body temperature passed down his skin, but it was so hot that his palms were sweating in the cold winter weather.

For so many days, holding hands has become a very natural and skilled thing for them, but today Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to care about the two holding hands together.

Ruan Qiuping thought it might be because Yu Huan had just finished a long-distance run and his hands were too hot, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuping still pulled out his hand.

Yu Huan stopped and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Qiuping said truthfully: "Your hands are too hot, it makes me flustered."

"Is Ruan Ruan very hot?" Yu Huan seemed a little surprised.

Ruan Qiuping nodded.

"But you look very cold." Yu Huan said, "You are wearing very thin clothes."

Ruan Qiuping said: "I am not afraid of the cold." I am a god.

"is it?"

Yu Huan suddenly stretched out two hands, covering Ruan Qiuping's ears that were a little purple from the cold.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, he smiled, "Ruan Ruan, your ears say it's cold."

Ruan Qiuping's ears were already numb from the cold, and when Yu Huan covered them, it seemed as if they had been covered, and a warm itch crept up on them.

Fortunately, before Ruan Qiuping knocked off Yu Huan's hand, Yu Huan let go. He took off his white down jacket and put it on Ruan Qiuping's thin coat: "Ruan Ruan, why do you wear it every time you come here? Clothes are so out of season?"

"I'm really not afraid of the cold."

"I know." Yu Huan helped Ruan Qiuping zip up the down jacket, and said with a smile, "I just finished running and it was too hot. You help me dress it up first, and give it to me later."

After speaking, he took Ruan Qiuping's hand again.

Ruan Qiuping just wanted to break free again, but was held tightly by Yu Huan.

"Hot." Ruan Qiuping said.

Yu Huan turned his head to look at him: "Does Ruan Ruan find it annoying to hold hands with me?"

"...I don't hate it."

"But I like to hold hands with Ruan Ruan very much." Yu Huan's black jade-like eyes flashed with a warm and moist soft light, "Can Ruan Ruan please accommodate me?"

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

When Ruan Qiuping saw Yu Huan's eyes, he was already defeated.

He sighed and held Yu Huan's hand tightly.

Forget it, it's rare for a child to act like a baby to him, so let's just accommodate him.

There were a few shouts from the audience behind, as if they were cheering for the runners who hadn't reached the finish line in the long-distance race.

Ruan Qiuping turned his head to take a look, and then turned around again: "I heard from those girls that you are two full laps ahead of the track and field department. Did you specially exercise for long-distance running?"

Yu Huan said: "It's not a special exercise, it's just that I occasionally participate in marathons in the city."

"Do you like long-distance running?"

"It's okay." Yu Huan said, "Running makes me calm down, and I really like the moment when I see the finish line."

Yu Huan paused for a moment, he looked at Ruan Qiuping, and the corners of his lips curled up quietly: "Although the distance of the marathon is long, it makes people feel at ease, because I know that I will always reach the finish line, because I look forward to seeing the finish line." That moment, so the whole running process became better."

Ruan Qiuping said: "I can't do it. I really hate running, especially long-distance running. As soon as I start running, I am so tired that I can't wait to cross the finish line directly."

So I learned Yujian flying, so I learned teleportation.

It's a pity that he didn't learn these two spells very well. In an emergency, he still had to rely on his two legs.

"It seems that you really have great stamina!" Ruan Qiuping sighed and made a conclusion to Yu Huan.

Yu Huan looked into Ruan Qiuping's eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Why do I have no stamina, Ruan Ruan, I wait for you every day."

When Yu Huan laughed, his eyes were very beautiful, shining like stars.

"Ruan Ruan, I learned to wait first, and then I learned to run.

"I like long-distance running because the feeling of long-distance running is similar to waiting for you. The only difference is that in long-distance running, I know how many meters are left to the finish line, but I don't know when you will appear, but I know you will always come. .

"Ruan Ruan, you are my finish line."

Ruan Qiuping stared blankly at Yu Huan, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

The 16-year-old boy was looking at him, his eyes were clear and bright, his smile was bright and clean, and he spoke out his full heart without any concealment, sincere and hot.

Ruan Qiuping felt like he was walking aimlessly in the barren and dilapidated ruins, but a lump of soil suddenly fell into his palm. He wiped off the mud, only to find that it was a handful of crystal bright diamonds.

The diamond was so precious and heavy that he even feared that he would not be able to keep it.

But he desperately wanted to keep it.

He felt that if he didn't do something - the diamond would go away.

So Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan, stumbled and said: "... Yu Huan, you are mine... mine..."

Yu Huan said that he is the finish line of his long-distance running, but what is Yu Huan to him?

Ruan Qiuping racked his brains to come up with a corresponding adjective.

"...What is yours?" Yu Huan asked.

Ruan Qiuping's mind went blank.

For the first time, he began to regret that when he was seven years old, he locked himself in his room for three whole days in order not to go to the Chinese Language Institute.

As a result, he can't even speak nice words now.

"Ruan Ruan?" Yu Huan asked again.

"...It's me...diamond...fishing boat, good luck? Red Forest Book No.70 five nursery rhymes, six-winged white rhinoceros, blue-feathered Bifang bird, chocolate cloud bread..." Ruan Qiuping's voice became softer as he spoke , The more I said it, the more I felt something was wrong.

Yu Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ruan Ruan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and whispered, "I wanted to find some beautiful words to express my love for you...but I couldn't find any."

At this moment, Yu Huan felt that his heart was about to stop beating, he almost tremblingly asked: "...Ruan Ruan, do you like me?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded: "I like it more than those mentioned above."

After a pause, Ruan Qiuping continued: "You asked me last year, what is the closest relationship between people? I said parent-child and partner, and now I think there is another relationship between me and you. Relationship, we are not parents and children, nor are we partners, but I just feel that I can’t live without you. In fact, I am waiting for you every day. In fact, I feel happy and joyful when I see you. Leaving you, I want to stay by your side all the time, watch you... watch you fall in love, watch you get married, watch you have children, even if you die, I will buy you the best coffin, I will definitely...will try my best to make your death painless, and after you die, I will remember you, and I will never forget you at all..."

After hearing this, Yu Huan felt his heart go cold.

Not only is it cool, but it is also a little bit ventilated.

But looking at the serious and solemn expression on Ruan Qiuping's face, he couldn't get angry at all.

He said in his heart: Well, it's already very good.Ruan Ruan said that he was happy when he saw him, but sad when he left him. Ruan Ruan had already planned to be with him for the rest of his life. Ruan Ruan also said that he would buy a coffin for him, and that he would remember him after he died.

but……

Yu Huan stretched out his hand and gently hugged Ruan Qiuping: "Ruan Ruan, thank you for liking me so much, but it's not enough."

"Why isn't it enough?" Ruan Qiuping asked puzzled.

Yu Huan rubbed his cheek against Ruan Qiuping's neck, and said in a muffled voice, "You want to like me more, the kind that doesn't want to give me up to others at all."

Ruan Qiuping didn't quite understand what Yu Huan meant, but he still nodded and said, "I will work hard."

Yu Huan let go of Ruan Qiuping, he looked into Ruan Qiuping's eyes, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I will work hard too."

After Ruan Qiuping followed Yu Huan out of the campus, he also found that the street was extremely lively today.

Even though the sky is not yet dark, many businesses hang up colorful lights outside their houses, which looks very festive.

"Is it a big day today?" Ruan Qiuping asked.

"Today is Christmas."

Ruan Qiuping looked at the school that was still holding the school sports meeting behind him, then looked at the bustling street, and said, "Your school is holding the school sports meeting on this day."

"Yeah." Yu Huan nodded and said, "Our school does not celebrate Western holidays."

"Our hometown is the same!" Ruan Qiuping said, "Our hometown is culturally incompatible with the West, and the books never mention things about the West. I know that Christmas still comes from people... or from your books here. "

According to human books, Christmas falls on December 12th every year, and it is a very grand festival. It is as grand as Chinese New Year in foreign countries, but it has also evolved into a good day for couples to date in China.

December 12th... Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuping sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Huan asked.

"It would be great if I came a few days later." Ruan Qiuping was a little melancholy, "In that case, I can celebrate the New Year with you. I haven't celebrated the New Year with you yet."

"It's also good to come here today. Because of Christmas, there are many interesting things on this street, and..." Yu Huan paused, and said with a smile, "I was very happy when I saw you at the finish line today .”

I'm also very happy.

Ruan Qiuping quietly added in his heart.

The streets during festivals are indeed more fun than usual. From the street to the end of the street where Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan ate seven or eight stalls, and played more than a dozen games, in the end, Ruan Qiuping couldn’t even walk. However, there are still various gifts that Yu Huan won from playing games on his body.

As expected of a lucky god!

Ruan Qiuping happily patted the plush long-armed monkey hanging around his neck.

If he wants to win these things by himself, he probably won't be able to get them after playing for decades.

Ruan Qiuping was walking, and suddenly found that a booth next to him was crowded with children. Ruan Qiuping liked to join in the fun, and when he saw the momentum, he immediately dragged Yu Huan over.

When I got closer, I realized that there was a clerk dressed as Santa Claus who was interacting with the children.

Santa Claus led the children to finish singing Christmas carols, and then swayed and played guessing games with the children.

"There is a tree, it is big and green, and there are lights and stars on it, what kind of tree is it—"

"Christmas tree!" replied the children in unison.

"There is a man who only appears once a year, and every time he appears will bring surprises and gifts, who is he—"

When the children answered Santa Claus loudly, a 16-year-old boy in white mingled among the children, laughing and shouting loudly:

"—Ruan Ruan!"

When they got home, both of them were exhausted.

But Ruan Qiuping didn't sit on the sofa immediately, but placed the things won from the game one by one in every corner of the room.

"Ruan Ruan, do you like these plush dolls so much?" Yu Huan asked with a smile.

"Of course people like you who are born with good luck don't understand." Ruan Qiuping said, "This is just an ordinary plush doll to you, but it is a medal of good luck to me."

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment, and added: "...Although this is your good luck medal, when you won these gifts, I was by your side, which is considered to have hidden 1% of my good luck."

"Does Ruan Ruan like my good luck so much?" Yu Huan asked.

"Of course." Ruan Qiuping walked over and squeezed Yu Huan's face, "It's because of your luck that I dare to touch you."

Ruan Qiuping hugged Yu Huan and rubbed him comfortably.

"I like your good luck!"

The smile on the corner of Yu Huan's lips seemed to have disappeared for a moment, but it quickly rose again.

When Ruan Qiuping lazily leaned back on the sofa and lay down again, the ball of red thread in the pocket slipped down, just in time for Yu Huan to see it.

"What is this?" Yu Huan asked.

For some reason, Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt guilty: "...the red line."

"What is it for?" Yu Huan asked.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at Yu Huan's face, and said: "This is the red thread that has been opened in Yuelao Temple, and it can be married... But don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to use the red thread to find you a partner, this red thread is Someone forced it on me."

"really?"

"Really, I swear! I have no intention of entangled you and other girls with a red string at all! You see, I've been here for so long, and I never asked you if you have a date!"

"Since that's the case, isn't this bright red thread a waste?"

Um?What's the meaning?

Ruan Qiuping put his face in front of Yu Huan, and blinked excitedly: "Do you have someone who wants to wrap the red thread?"

"Have."

Yu Huan shook out the ball of red thread and found the left and right ends of the thread.He then tied one end to his left wrist.

"Little Yuhuan, what are you bothering about now, when you meet that girl later..."

Ruan Qiuping's voice stopped abruptly.

Because he saw Yu Huan wrap the other end of the red thread around Ruan Qiuping's right wrist.

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: "Little Yuhuan, this is a marriage rope, you can't wrap it around casually."

"I didn't mess around casually." Yu Huan looked up at him, with a smile in his eyes and a broken light, "It was Ruan Ruan who wanted to say that he wanted to stay by my side and look at me all the time, so I used This is a good omen for the opening of the karma rope diagram, to continue our relationship, and pray that our friendship will last forever. Am I doing it wrong?"

Ruan Qiuping froze for a moment.

Yu Huan seems to be right, but not completely right.

Wait, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly realized something was wrong. He looked at the red rope on his wrist that was gradually becoming transparent, and hurriedly untied it, while shouting: "But you are talking about karma and chance, and this red rope is about Hongluan's marriage. ah!"

"Ah?" Yu Huan blinked, seeming quite distressed, "Then it seems that I heard wrong, what should I do? Nothing will happen."

Yu Huan tied the knots in both hands, and before Ruan Qiuping had time to untie them, the red rope had already dissipated into their flesh and blood.

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

"By the way, Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan looked ignorant and curious, "Why did the red string disappear? Is it magic? It's amazing."

"what……"

Ruan Qiuping let out a long howl and buried his whole face in the sofa.

Yu Huan watched from the side, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
