"Was", "Maybe", "Like".

The combination of these three phrases gave birth to some strange meanings.

After Wen Zhao finished speaking, he let go of his hand. He didn't wait for Pei Yuan to speak, so he asked again: "Are we going back on the seventh day?"

"Yeah." The topic was changed, Pei Yuan followed his words, "Clean up, I'll go back to my room first."

Wen Zhao didn't keep anyone, he looked out of the window again: "Okay, call me when it's time to eat, I'll take some fresh air for a while."

Pei Yuan left and closed the door behind him.

Wen Zhao looked up at the sky for a while, then blinked.

After so long, he thought he had forgotten, but in fact he still cared a lot about whether Pei Yuanxi liked him or not.

He was the one who mentioned that they were together at the beginning, but no one said they liked it at the time.

Maybe Pei Yuan felt that he owed him the same as now, so he agreed, and he really liked Pei Yuan, but he didn't dare to say it.

He was afraid that after he said it, everything would change.

He was afraid that after he said it, Pei Yuan would choose to break up.

He was afraid that after he said it, he would get a "sorry" from Pei Yuan.

He was too afraid, and he couldn't do anything and ignore everything. Later, it seemed that they had been together for almost half a year. After drinking some wine, he found a chance to say "like" to Pei Yuan.

How did Pei Yuan react at that time?

Wen Zhao remembers clearly.

He remembered that Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lower lip, and nodded at him: "Okay, I see."

There is only such a five-word answer.

And these five words became a nightmare for Wen Zhao for a long period of time afterwards, he felt that his guess was indeed true, Pei Yuan agreed because he borrowed money.

Once a person is on the edge of a dead end, it is not easy to get out. Wen Zhao was in a daze for a while, and then he figured it out again.

It seems that this is not bad, at least Pei Yuan is by his side.

Except that Pei Yuan didn't like him, everything else was fine.

He looks good, has a good personality, good grades, and is self-motivated. There is no one around him who can make him jealous. He is absolutely dedicated to him. Even when facing him in private, he can occasionally see it through Pei Yuan's eyes. A little bit of affection, but when he blinked, these affections were like illusions, as if they had never happened.

Scenes of the past were playing in front of his eyes, Wen Zhao lowered his eyes, and spread out the palm of his left hand, which seemed to still have residual warmth from Pei Yuan's wrist.

He slowly gathered his knuckles and rubbed his palm with his fingertips.

Pei Yuan had nothing to clean up, he went downstairs and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen used to be a stove, but Yu Yue is studying now, and Yu Chunxia is not in good health, so he can't get as much firewood as before. Therefore, taking advantage of the house renovation, Pei Yuan asked someone to dismantle the stove and replace it with a natural gas stove tower.

When he came down, Yu Chunxia was pouring oil into the pot, Yu Yue was watching from the side, and the mother and daughter were still chatting.

The vegetables on the chopping board are all cut and placed, waiting to be put into the oil pan for a while.

Pei Yuan came in through the low door with his head down, glanced at the chopping board, walked to the stove with a smile, and grabbed the spatula from Yu Chunxia's hand: "Mom, let me do it."

Yu Yue rolled her eyes: "Brother, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time."

"Yes."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows: "If I hadn't been on a business trip in the capital on New Year's Day, I would definitely be back."

Yu Chunxia stood behind Pei Yuan and tied an apron for him, and asked while tying a bow, "Xiaowen is on it?"

"Well, call him after dinner."

The oil was hot, and Pei Yuan raised the shovel: "Stay away from the two ladies, be careful not to splash the oil on your face."

Yu Yue really took a step back: "Brother, come on."

Today is not New Year's Eve, the dishes are a bit simpler, but there are also four dishes and one soup. Except for the soup that Yu Chunxia has stewed early, the other four dishes are all from Pei Yuan. With Yu Chunxia as his helper, his speed is very fast. The bowls and chopsticks are set on the table.

The living room is the largest, but it is relatively empty, with only a dining table, and the TV and sofa are all in the living room on the second floor. After all, there are no people on the first floor.

Pei Yuan looked at the table and nodded with satisfaction, and was about to go upstairs to ask Wen Zhao to come down, when he saw Wen Zhao appearing at the corner of the stairs stepping on slippers, with a smile on his face: "Auntie, I smell the fragrance down."

After he said this, he came to Pei Yuan, but he didn't look at Pei Yuan anymore, he just looked at Yu Chunxia and walked to the dining table.

Yu Chunxia still looked gentle and gentle: "It's all made by Yuanyuan." She said, "Go and wash your hands and eat, Xiaowen."

Washing hands before meals is what Pei Yuan has always asked for, and he has gotten used to it after so long.

Yu Yue's eyes were somewhat similar to Pei Yuan's, and there was a smile in them at the moment: "Brother Xiaowen, do you need me to take you to the sink?"

"Is it outside?"

"Correct."

Wen Zhao raised his foot: "I can go by myself."

As soon as he took a step, Pei Yuan followed suit.

Wen Zhao laughed: "Pei Yuan, what are you doing with me?"

"handwashing."

"...I thought you washed it."

There is a sink outside, and the two faucets are filled with water of different temperatures. It is cold now, and Pei Yuan turned on the hot water faucet familiarly. He raised his chin slightly: "Use hot water."

Wen Zhao laughed, "I don't."

He turned on the cold water tap and washed it carefully with the hand sanitizer on the side.

I have to say that the water is really cold, even colder than in the city, he felt his hands were going to be numb from the cold.

"...It's mountain spring water."

"It's cold."

Pei Yuan's reminder sounded slowly from the side.

Wen Zhao turned off the faucet and flicked the water from his hand. He suddenly felt that Pei Yuan's words were a bit of a joke, so he put his hand on Pei Yuan's face without much hesitation, and squinted his eyes again: " Then you warm my hands now, it will be fine."

The temperature in the countryside is lower, and there are cold winds blowing through.

Pei Yuan slapped his long eyelashes, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Okay."

Wen Zhao looked at him like this, but didn't take back his hand, and went down a little bit, until he touched Pei Yuan's neck.

Pei Yuan became a little nervous, his throat rolled.

The ups and downs of Adam's apple were clearly printed on Wen Zhao's palm.

The next second, Wen Zhao withdrew his hand, turned around and walked in: "Forget it, it's really boring to bully honest people."

Pei Yuan stood where he was, and after a breath, he followed Wen Zhao's pace, even though Wen Zhao had already entered the living room.

In the past few years, the three of Yu's family have eaten together during Chinese New Year, and now there is an additional photo, which will be much more lively.

Yu Yue was at the curious age, and asked her two elder brothers to tell her what happened in the university.

There are some things that Pei Yuan didn't know. At that time, besides studying, he was also busy with part-time jobs. Not only did he have to pay off his debts, he also had to live on his own, so he didn't join any clubs. Hearing the gossip about those clubs, he I've never heard of any of them, and I'm still listening to them with gusto.

Yu Yue contracted to wash the dishes after dinner, and Yu Chunxia asked Pei Yuan to take Wenzhao upstairs to take a bath.

The bathrooms are all on the second floor. There are two bathrooms in total, and men and women are separated.

After Wen Zhao entered the bathroom, Yu Chunxia brought up snacks, put them on the coffee table in the living room, and called Pei Yuan: "Yuan Yuan, come here."

Pei Yuan sat down on the sofa, raised his lips and smiled: "Mom."

Yu Chunxia looked at him and sighed softly: "I lost weight."

"No, it's still the same weight."

Yu Chunxia asked again: "Does Xiaowen need any help?"

"He, no need."

Since everyone is going to come to the house as a guest, it is impossible for Pei Yuan to hide from Yu Chunxia Wenzhao's family bankruptcy, and he said it briefly, but even if he didn't explain the situation, Yu Chunxia would be so enthusiastic about Wenzhao, which still can't be helped changed.

Yu Chunxia: "The visitor is a guest, you..."

"I know, Mom, I didn't put on airs, and I didn't neglect him."

Yu Chunxia's brows and eyes were tainted with sadness again, and in the end he just patted the back of Pei Yuan's hand, turned on the TV instead of saying anything.

On the second day of New Year's Eve, Pei Yuan's biological clock was just past eight o'clock, and now he woke up at this time when he went home, but the moment he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, he was in a daze, and realized that he was in the countryside now.

The times are developing relatively fast. In the past, every household would light up cooking smoke, but now only a few still use earthen stoves.

Pei Yuan opened the window to ventilate the room, then changed his clothes and went to wash.

After washing up, Wen Zhao just came out of the guest room, and greeted him with a look of not waking up: "Morning."

"morning."

Pei Yuan paused: "Do you want to wash?"

"I'm so sleepy, Pei Yuan." Wen Zhao sullenly said, "I'll go to the bathroom and sleep for a while."

Pei Yuan didn't force him: "Got it."

Wen Zhao still didn't sleep well last night, he is not a person who recognizes the bed, especially the bed in the guest room is actually quite comfortable, but he just can't sleep.

Still because of excitement.

Strictly speaking, this is the first Spring Festival he and Pei Yuan have spent together. They have known each other for so long and they have been together for three years, but it was school holidays, so they never spent together. So after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't fall asleep and got up. The online peace elite won several rounds in a single four-row row, and then fell into a deep sleep.

However, he drank too much soup last night. Yu Chunxia poured him several bowls, and he drank it all. He got up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom twice, and now he woke up again.

Pei Yuan didn't know what time Wen Zhao went to bed last night, but after thinking about it, he launched the game.

As soon as I saw the prompt under Wenzhao's ID, I knew everything in an instant.

Logged in five hours ago, so it didn't mean that it didn't go offline until around three o'clock.

Pei Yuan frowned and went downstairs.

Yu Chunxia was busy with breakfast in the kitchen. When she saw Pei Yuan coming in, she smiled: "Are you hungry? Yuanyuan."

"It's okay, Mom."

"Is Xiaowen awake?"

Pei Yuan shook his head: "I'm not awake."

In a few minutes, Wen Zhao also lowered his head and entered the kitchen: "Auntie, are you eating dumplings for breakfast? What stuffing?"

Pei Yuan: "...Aren't you still going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep anymore." Wen Zhao opened his mouth and said, "I usually get up at this time to go to work, and I'm used to the biological clock."

Pei Yuan's eyelids twitched, he was dubious.

Yu Chunxia's lips are always slightly curved. The years have left traces on her face, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes are obvious. Seeing the scene in front of her, she smiled again, but every fine line seemed to be All engraved with the words of happiness.

After breakfast was settled, Pei Yuan asked again: "Mom, are you cooking fish tonight?"

"I didn't buy any fish." Yu Chunxia said, "If you want to eat roasted fish, you have to go fishing yourself."

Pei Yuan nodded: "That's what I mean."

There is a river in Xinyu Village, not far from their home, about a few hundred meters away, and it is blocked by forests, so it is naturally invisible from Yu's house.

Wen Zhao's eyes lit up: "Pei Yuan, are you going fishing?"

"Ah."

Pei Yuan didn't wait for Wen Zhao to say, he cleared his throat, "It happens that we have some fishing rods at home."

Yu Yue wanted to go too, but Yu Chunxia tore his clothes: "You stay at home to do your homework, do you still want the presents my brothers bought you?"

"Woooooo."

Pei Yuan fishes at home. The fishing gear is very simple, just three fishing rods and a net. The fishing rods are all made of bamboo poles, not telescopic rods. Pei Yuan used to fish to improve the conditions of his family. After so many years , And also developed the habit of going home to fish.

The length of the fishing rod is about six meters, and it is usually placed on the side of the small building, and only when Pei Yuan comes home will he move it.

However, due to time constraints, there was no time to make the rice for making nests. Pei Yuan went to the warehouse to get a hoe, carried it to the nearby field, and started digging for earthworms.

Wen Zhao followed, holding a small jar of earthworms in his hand.

Wen Zhao had actually caught fish before, but neither the rod nor the bait were so simple, so he became curious.

Pei Yuan used a small hoe, which was just right for digging up earthworms. After a while, one twisted earthworm after another was put into the jar.

Wen Zhao looked down and felt that he could be carried away on the spot.

After digging for a while, Pei Yuan stopped when he felt hot: "Enough."

So a few minutes later, the two went out with fishing gear.

Pei Yuan walked in front, carrying a fishing rod and holding a stool, while Wen Zhao was behind carrying an empty bucket with a net bag for fish.

All the way through the field ridges, through the woods, and after passing a few houses, we came to the river.

Looking at the sparkling river, Wen Zhao couldn't help saying with emotion: "I seem to come to the farmhouse for fun."

"Ah."

Pei Yuan did not refute.

Wen Zhao sat down on the small stool, crossed his legs, and looked leisurely: "I knew I would have asked you to bring me here earlier."

Pei Yuan paused as he unwrapped the fishing rods: "...my house hasn't been renovated before."

"What does that matter?" Wen Zhao looked at him with a leisurely tone.

Pei Yuan didn't answer this question, and as soon as he loosened his hand, he handed Wen Zhao a fishing rod: "This one is for you." He opened the jar containing the earthworms along the way, "Come here and tie the earthworms."

Wen Zhao swallowed, and used earthworms as bait according to Pei Yuan, but when he touched the earthworms, his whole body became numb, and he didn't want to show it because of face.

Pei Yuan was serious: "I'll do it."

Wen Zhao felt relieved: "Thank you, Teacher Pei."

The fishhook is not very big, but the earthworm is very long, so the remaining half of the earthworm will roll in the jar.

Wen Zhao looked down and let out a soft breath.

Is it too late to realize that I am afraid of earthworms when I grow up so old?

"Okay." Pei Yuan handed him the fishing rod again.

The river is not very big, and you can see across the river.

Maybe it's because everyone wants to have fish at home, and other villagers come out to fish, and there are people sitting at intervals.

Because there is no nest, we can only wait patiently.

The surface of the river was blown by the wind, and it was not so calm. There were layers of waves, and the floats also swayed.

Not long after, before the fish was caught, Wen Zhao's cell phone rang, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Wen Zhao glanced at the incoming call, it was from Lu He, and he didn't walk away, just answered like this: "Brother."

"Small news."

"You really don't want to go home for the New Year?"

Lu He sighed: "Auntie asked me to bring you a message again, saying that you still have time to buy a ticket back to Beijing."

Wen Zhao was afraid of affecting the fishing, so his voice was relatively soft: "It's too late, I've made a plan to celebrate the New Year at my friend's house this year, how can I break my promise?" He paused, "And I'm already at his house, still fishing .”

Lu He was a little confused: "Friend? Fishing?"

"Well, I'm a college friend." Wen Zhao said, "Don't talk about it, brother, the fish here is about to take the bait."

Lu He: "...um."

The call ended, and Wen Zhao put the phone back in his pocket.

In fact, there is no fish on his side to take the bait yet, but Pei Yuan's float made a big move, and was dragged underwater by the fish until it was completely submerged. pull.

well.

There are fish.

only……

"It's so small for such a big movement?" Wen Zhao frowned, "There are a lot of fish shows here."

It's just a small crucian carp that is only as long as a thumb. Since it is going to be braised in brown sauce, it must be catching a big fish.

Pei Yuan released the fish and hung the earthworms again.

The cold wind kept blowing, it was a little cold, and Wen Zhao shrank his neck.

The buoys on both sides moved many times, but these fish were very cunning, either they were acting or the small fish took the bait. Half an hour later, there was not a single fish in the net bag.

Pei Yuan turned his head and glanced at Wen Zhao: "Be calm."

"know."

Wen Zhao snorted, "I've also caught fish before."

It’s just that he didn’t catch one. At that time, he went fishing with Lu He. They made nests and used various materials. He was very professional, but he just didn’t catch one. Lu He laughed at him for a long time. , he never fished again.

Pei Yuan let out a "hmm".

Wen Zhao continued: "The person who called me just now is my brother, the son of our former driver. I have fished with him once." He stared at the buoy, "He also told me to calm down when fishing, but I don't have the patience, every time I see the float move, I have to pull the fishing rod."

Pei Yuan turned his head to look at him: "Then did you catch it?"

"No."

"I haven't caught any small fish."

Wen Zhao smiled.

As soon as his words fell, Pei Yuan reminded: "Your float has moved."

Wen Zhao immediately calmed down, he learned to hold his breath this time, and after a while, seeing that the float was about to disappear, he pulled the fishing rod.

It was a carp, half the size of an arm.

Pei Yuan immediately got up to get the net, and the carp was full of energy, like a slippery person, and kept spinning in the water, with great strength, the fishing rod was bent a lot, Wen Zhao also stood up and dragged along with him, It wasn't until the carp was exhausted that it got closer and closer to them and entered the copying net.

"so big."

Wen Zhao smiled, "I never thought the first fish I caught would be so big."

Pei Yuan weighed it: "It's five or six catties."

Wen Zhao took out his mobile phone: "Don't move, I'll take a picture."

Pei Yuan held the fish in both hands, Wen Zhao pretended to take a picture of the fish, and actually quickly took a picture for Pei Yuan, and finally put the phone in his bag: "Okay."

The carp was put into the net bag, and when it encountered water, it regained its vitality.

Wen Zhao asked, "Are you still fishing?"

"You can go back." Pei Yuan squatted on the bank and washed his hands.

Wen Zhao grinned: "It seems that I am not here to eat and drink for nothing."

The corners of Pei Yuan's lips curved: "Yes."

He stood up: "Are you sleepy?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I didn't get off the assembly line from the peace elite until three o'clock in the morning." Pei Yuan put away his fishing rod, "I'll take a nap when I'm sleepy, and I'll call you after lunch."

Wen Zhao: "...was caught."

Just as the fishing rod was put away, there was a scream from a dozen meters away from them——

"Save people!!!"

Pei Yuan and Wen Zhao quickly looked over, and saw an old man on the bank, shouting, and a person in the river was thrashing and struggling, also shouting "Help".

Without even thinking about it, Pei Yuan took off his down jacket while running, and then plunged into the icy river.

The river was freezing cold in winter, so Pei Yuan couldn't care less, he quickly lifted the man ashore, and he himself got ashore with difficulty.

The one who accidentally fell into the river was a girl, she was not very old, she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, because she was rescued in time, she only choked on some water, but the water temperature was so cold that the little girl was shaking all over .

"Thank you, thank you." The old man thanked repeatedly, just as his son rushed over, and thanked him too.

Pei Yuan's hair and underwear were sticking to his skin, his lips were purple, his teeth chattered uncontrollably from the coldness, and tremblingly said: "Take her home quickly."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Wen Zhao with a serious face.

Wen Zhao pursed his lips tightly, and put on the down jacket for him.

Pei Yuan opened his lips: "...I can't help it."

"Can't I swim? Are you the only one who can?"

Pei Yuan reacted two seconds faster than Wen Zhao, otherwise it would be Wen Zhao who got into the water.

Wen Zhao looked at Pei Yuan's pitiful appearance, supported his forehead, and softened his tone: "Go home first, and don't take the fish for now."

Pei Yuan: "Yes."

Fortunately, the distance was not very far, otherwise Pei Yuan would have been tortured, and Wen Zhao sent him to the bathroom as soon as he got home before he could explain what happened.

Yu Chunxia was very worried: "What's wrong with Yuanyuan?"

"A little girl fell into the river, Pei Yuan saved her."

Wen Zhao's nose was a little red: "He ran too fast, I couldn't keep up."

Wen Zhao himself has learned to swim since he was a child. He can swim butterfly, breaststroke, and freestyle. In fact, I never thought that one day someone would fall into the water and call for help.

Even he has read a lot of news, it is the rescuer who rescued the people, but he himself died.

What Wen Zhao was afraid of was Pei Yuan's accident.

Yu Chunxia patted him on the shoulder: "I'll make him a bowl of ginger soup, don't be afraid, Xiaowen."

Wen Zhao reluctantly nodded.

As soon as Yu Chunxia left, Wen Zhao squatted down against the wall. His breathing was tight at the time. Looking back now, he still feels the scene was thrilling.

When Pei Yuan came out of the shower, he saw Wen Zhao squatting in the corridor outside the bathroom. He hung the towel for wiping his hair around his neck and said, "I'm fine."

Wen Zhao raised his head, his eyes met.

Pei Yuan hesitated for two seconds, and said, "I can understand why you were angry at that time." He said, "If you jumped down, I would be worried too."
