soul resonance

With Xu's mother's praise, Zhou Duo's nervousness relaxed more than half.

After Xu's mother left, Xu Heqi came over to him and said, "Thank you, Mom likes your gift very much."

In fact, there is another coincidence here, Xu's father and Xu's mother are the kind of people who manage their lives with heart, and many things inside and outside the house are endowed with different meanings.

Earlier, Dad Xu planned to carve a set of bookmarks about the Xu family as a souvenir, but he fell ill shortly after the operation, so the matter was put on hold. There is still a carved bookmark of Dad Xu in Xu's mother's room. Half up osmanthus tree bookmark.

Every time Xu Heqi saw it, apart from missing his father, there was also an indescribable regret.

The unfinished bookmark is like his father's life, which stays forever at a certain moment and stops abruptly.

And Zhou Duo sent a complete bookmark, which meant a lot to them.

It seems that the time that was smashed was re-sewn together by a thin thread one day.

A trail suddenly appears on the steeply broken cliff, giving you another possibility when you don't know how to cross it.

What was lost in the past can no longer be recovered.

Looking back, I can only miss it.

But the days go on, and different people will come to you again.

Even if the feelings are different, it doesn't matter, it's still love.

"As long as Auntie likes it, I still think it's too crude." Zhou Duo scratched his knee with his fingers, and his slightly cramped movements proved that he felt so in his heart, and what he said was true.

It's really too simple, compared to Gu Yiyun's 80 gift, this is nothing.

"It's not simple, you give it the best."

The bookmark is just a form of expression, the love he gives is the most precious thing.

"Mom is going to prepare other things. Let's clean up the sanitary couplets first." Xu Heqi dragged Zhou Duo up and folded a hat for him with old newspapers.

The two put on the same style of apron, put on the sleeves, and started to work.

Originally, these should have been done early in the morning, but Xu Heqi and Zhou Duo were in the capital a few days ago, and Xu's mother was worried that they didn't have the heart to do it.

Mother Xu mentioned it after they came back, but was stopped by Xu Heqi, who wanted to wait for Zhou Duo to come together.

That way maybe he can fit into their lives more quickly.

The fact is indeed the case, under Xu Heqi's constant instigation and Xu's mother's occasional instructions, Zhou Duo's originally uneasy heart settled down.

The strangeness gradually disappeared, as if he was also a member of the Xu family.

"You're done!" The last blessing was pasted upside down on the gate, Xu Heqi clapped his hands, and said with his hands on his hips.

It was almost evening at this time, and Mother Xu's New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready.

"Clean up after posting, we're going to eat later." Mother Xu shouted through the window in the back room.

"Hey, here we come!"

Taking off the dirty apron, sleeves and paper hat, the two followed to the kitchen.

The New Year's Eve dinner was well prepared, but because there were not many of them, Mother Xu didn't prepare a lot of each dish. Although leftovers can be eaten in the refrigerator, those who celebrate the New Year can't eat leftovers all at once.

"Come and taste it." Xu's mother was still frying fish, and Xu Heqi touched a piece of crispy meat from the basin next to it and fed it to Zhou Duo.

Not long after it was out of the pot, it was still steaming.One bite, the batter on the outside is fried crispy, with a slightly spicy taste, the aroma of pepper and Chinese prickly ash explodes in the mouth, the pork belly inside is tender and juicy, fat but not greasy.

Zhou Duo nodded, "It's delicious."

Xu Heqi smiled, and took a piece and put it in his mouth.

Mother Xu shook her head when she saw it, "Come to steal again, just like your father." The words were accusations, but the tone was pampering.

"When I finish the last dish of sweet and sour fish, we can start the meal. You two will bring out the other dishes first." Mother Xu ordered.

The two listened to the order and started to do it without saying a word.

Boiled chicken, konjac roast duck, sweet and sour fish, crispy pork, Sixi meatballs, cabbage wrapped meat rolls, kelp pork rib soup, plus two seasonal vegetables, the three of them, Xu's mother made nine dishes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom!" After serving the table, Xu Heqi immediately picked up a chicken leg and put it in Mom Xu's bowl.

Zhou Duo also immediately put another chicken leg into Mama Xu's bowl, "Thank you, Auntie!"

He said he wanted to change his name, but Zhou Duo was still embarrassed and kept the original name. Xu's mother didn't care, and took the food brought by the two children with a smile.

Dinner was served early at his house, and the Spring Festival Gala hadn't even been broadcast yet, so they could only chat if they didn't have to watch it.

The three of them were not shy people, and they were not indifferent while eating and chatting. At the end, Zhou Duo mentioned that he would go to Song Zhiyi to pay New Year's greetings in two days.

"Really, are we going to Uncle Song's house?" Xu Heqi was extremely happy, and being able to go to pay New Year's greetings meant that Song Zhiyi had plans to repair the relationship with Zhou Duo.

Although he brought the man to his home, Xu Heqi knew that Zhou Duo still wanted to recognize Song Zhiyi, and now that the two sides could move around again, Xu Heqi was sincerely happy for Zhou Duo.

"That's really great. Auntie will prepare something for you in two days, and you can take it to your father." Xu's mother heard Xu Heqi's story about Zhou Duo, and she also felt distressed about his experience. Now there is this Of course the opportunity is good, but for New Year's greetings, there are a lot of things that should be prepared.

"Well, Auntie, can I bring Xiao Qi along?"

Gu Yiyun meant to bring Xu Heqi with him, but Zhou Duo thought he had to ask Xu's mother for permission.

"This... Will your father be unhappy?" Mother Xu has her own worries, after all, the relationship between the two children is not acceptable to everyone.

"No, my dad knows about Xiaoqi, and he told me on the phone yesterday that he asked me to bring Xiaoqi along." Zhou Duo said immediately.Although Song Zhiyi didn't say it himself, but he also knew that Song Zhiyi didn't say that, and Gu Yiyun didn't dare to spread the word.

"That's good, let's go. It's also necessary to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. What day do you go?"

"In the third day of junior high school, they also had their own things to do in the first two days." For Chinese New Year, it's just walking around among relatives.

However, Xu's family has a simple population, Xu's mother is an only child, and her parents left early, and there is no one in her family who needs to move around.The relationship between Xu's father and his side was not very good before, so let's forget it this year. There is no need to find trouble for myself during the New Year.

"Okay then, let Xiaoqi prepare as well."

Xu Heqi didn't say a word. When Zhou Duo came to see Xu's mother, he still made fun of her. This time when he heard that he was going to meet the other's parents, he found that he was not much better.

Just listening to it makes me nervous, but Gu Yiyun is fine, the key is Song Zhiyi.

The other party is so important to Zhou Duo, and he doesn't understand at all, what if Zhou Duo suffers from bad performance, what should he do?

After eating, everyone has no plans to keep the year old. Although it is a custom, it is better to go to bed early and get up early because of the schedule.

Zhou Duo still lived in the same room with Xu He. Although the Xu family still had a vacant room, they couldn't help but want to sleep together.

Mother Xu just hinted a few words not to mess around at this age, and ignored them.

It may be that the quality of sleep was not good before, so when Xu He lived next to Zhou Duo, he fell asleep quickly.After Xu Heqi returned to his room, he still wanted to chat with him, only to find that his good brother was already lying on the bed properly.

The sound of firecrackers at night was loud, and Xu Heqi couldn't sleep because he was thinking about going to see Song Zhiyi, so he simply sat up and took out the things Zhou Duo had given him.

He saw that it was past eleven o'clock and waited for a while.

When the time reached twelve o'clock, he immediately opened the box.

Anyway, the other party said that it could only be opened tomorrow, and it would be tomorrow after twelve o'clock, so he was not breaking the rules.

Inside the box was an ordinary notebook, Xu Heqi looked familiar.

It seems to be the one on Zhou Duo's desk, it's too common for him to pay attention to it, and even lovers have to pay attention to other people's privacy, so he hasn't read it.

For a moment, he was curious as to why the other party gave him this notebook.

It wasn't until he turned the first page that he realized that it was actually a diary.

Wednesday, September [-]st, sunny.

Today is the first day when I came to him, I passed by him, I didn’t dare to talk to him, I tried my best to pretend to be normal, to live like a human being, maybe I could talk to him...

Sunday, September [-]th, sunny.

I hate the holidays, I haven't seen him for two days, it's annoying, but I know it takes patience...

September [-], Friday, sunny.

This is the No.17 day that came to him.

Also a lucky day.

I managed to talk to him and have lunch with him.

Even though my approach wasn't very good and my lunch wasn't ideal, I still felt extra lucky.

It is one of the few happy days in my 19 years of life...

January 31, Monday, overcast.

Tomorrow is the New Year, and I really can't think of what to give you, so I have to give it to you with love.

To me, this is really the most "cheap" thing, it is completely up to you, no matter what you are willing to pay, or you are not willing to pay anything, it does not matter, it will always belong to you.

How do I love you?

With the pangs of yesteryear and the faithfulness of childhood.

With tears, laughter, and all life.

……

The diary was recorded from the first day Zhou Duo transferred to another school, until the day of New Year's Eve, with a total of 153 entries.

Every one is about him.

After they got together, they never talked about why they liked each other, nor did they say when they started liking each other.

He has always thought that this is an unnecessary question, because it is only necessary to make sure that they love each other at this moment and only love each other, so why bother to get to the bottom of it.

But after seeing this diary, Xu Heqi seemed to be soaked in a honey pot.

For the first time, he realized that he came for me.

Their love is the result of Zhou Duo walking a hundred steps alone full of love.

Xu Heqi put the diary away solemnly, and then took out a brand new notebook from the desk drawer.

Open the first page.

He wrote with pen:

February [-]st, Tuesday, late night with unknown weather.

Received a special gift today, the person who gave it said it was cheap, I disagree.

It seemed to me the most precious thing, and I could think of no exchange for it.

If Zhou Duo, who gave the gift, does not dislike it, I would like to give you a kiss every morning to repay this precious gift you gave me.

Please tell me when you wake up, please?Love you.
