Years are warm

A small cold comes and goes quickly, but Xie Zhiyao is always worried that she is not well. Every time I go out, I don’t forget to ask her to wear an extra layer. The other two people in the same dormitory are feeling that this kind of care can catch up with the old lady. up.

Xu Huaian just laughed and let her go.

It's another year's birthday, and Xu Huai'an still felt in a daze when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the date on his phone.

Unlike day students in the first semester of high school, they live in accommodation now, and it is far less convenient to go out than day students. Coupled with academic problems, it is too late to prepare gifts like last time.Originally, Li Siyuan discussed with Xie Zhiyao whether to order a cake for class without telling Xu Huaian, but the plan couldn't keep up with the change. They happened to be leaving school that day because of a competition, and they had to wait until the evening when they returned to the dormitory to hold it hastily. Cake blown out candles.

Xu Huaian didn't care much about this, she didn't think much about celebrating her birthday, but Xie Zhiyao emphasized the sense of ritual every year, and it was a habit she naturally developed.

She still wore the rubbing necklace last year, but she wore it thickly in winter, so it was hardly noticeable.

This year's girl blinked at her, and mysteriously said that she owed it first, and would pay the things in two days.

This dragged on until early December.

When Xu Huai'an saw this person sneaking away from him when he returned to school on Sunday, he knew that something was wrong with her.Sure enough, Xie Zhiyao greeted Li Siyuan during the evening class of the third quarter, grabbed Xu Huaian and slipped out of the classroom.

There are no people on the top floor of the Zhiyuan Building. From this angle, you can even see the neon lights of the high-rise buildings in the high-tech park in the distance. The lights of the city are scattered, which always gives people a sense of hazy and cold unreality.

"If you don't go to evening training, what do you want to bring me here?" The wind blew his fingertips cold, Xu Huai'an breathed out, and buried his chin in the scarf.

"You'll know when you come in." Xie Zhiyao took her hand and dragged her into the classroom step by step.

The empty classroom should have been cleaned up, the tables and chairs were removed, and a small open space in the center was deliberately left.

"Close your eyes."

"What are you doing so mysteriously..." Xu Huai'an smiled, and obediently closed his eyes as he said, hearing the soft footsteps of the other party.

Something was placed on a seat not far from her.

"Ahem, three, two, one! Open your eyes!"

Xu Huai'an opened his eyes, and was dazed for a moment by the light shining in front of his eyes.

The blue light shone in the dimly lit classroom, and scattered light on the white walls. She stood in the middle of the classroom, as if she was standing in the middle of a sea of ​​stars, surrounded by stars.

It's a starlight.

She froze in place suddenly.

Xie Zhiyao walked in front of her step by step with his hands behind his back, and held the things hidden behind him in front of her with crooked eyebrows.

"It's more than half a month late, ah, you can also take it as a Christmas present."

It was a plywood in the shape of a folder, and Xu Huaian took it over. The top one was smeared with familiar words.With a slight movement of her fingertips, she gently turned to the first page.

A profile.The girl in the painting has a clear profile and a camouflage hat on her head.

It was their first year of military training.

Her heart moved, and she turned a few pages back.

Sure enough, the school sports meeting, the midterm exam, and all kinds of details that she might not have paid attention to.

Xie Zhiyao drew these things and bound them into a booklet.

"I wanted to wait until graduation to give it, but I accidentally drew too many." Xie Zhiyao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, I will definitely give you a better one then!"

Xu Huaian stared blankly at the opening and closing of the lips in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of distorted dizziness.

But everything in front of me is real.

Her throat moved, and her voice was a little unnatural when she spoke: "When... did you draw it?"

"It's early." Xie Zhiyao went to turn on the light, with a bright smile, "You know, drawing is a kind of relaxation for me, and then I slowly discovered that many of the things I draw are related to you. Relationship, just thinking about it, then I will draw you from my perspective and give it to you. Hey, Huaian, tell me... do we have a good understanding?"

Can this word be used like this... Xu Huai'an curled his fingers, his eyes flickering.

"Birthday, there must be a meaningful gift." Xie Zhiyao didn't notice her slight strangeness, but just clapped her hands as if recalling, "I just want to say, let's give this, although I haven't finished the painting... ...But it doesn't matter, the last thing we need is time."

"If you want, I can draw for you every year in the future."

She seemed to be waiting expectantly for Xu Huai'an's response, but after a long time, the other party just looked down at the picture book in his hand in a daze, without responding.

"Huai'an? Huai Xiao'an!" Xie Zhiyao stretched out his hand to pinch her pretending to be ashamed, the halo in his eyes seemed to ripple, "Ah...do you dislike my bad drawing!"

Xu Huai'an came back to his senses, avoided her hand with a low laugh, and quickly denied: "No. Have you forgotten that so many teachers said you are talented? If there is a picture book in the future, wouldn't this book in my hand be worthless? gone?"

"That's right!" Knowing that she was joking, Xie Zhiyao still couldn't stop thinking about what he might look like in the future, smiling brows and eyes, "The first draft!"

"Okay, okay, thank you to my future great painter?" Xu Huaian put down his hand, and flicked her forehead with his fingers, "Thank you, Ayao, the painting is very good, I like it very much."

Only then did Xie Zhiyao snort, "That's about the same."

"Put away your things." Xu Huaian smiled, and went over to turn off the starlight. "It's time for us to go back."

After all, it's time for evening self-study, and it's not good to leave for too long.

Xie Zhiyao nodded and helped restore the classroom tables and chairs.

It's just that when they left, the two of them saw two figures across the floor.

Those two people are... Xiang Yuzhou and Chu Wenbin?Xu Huaian narrowed his eyes and frowned for no reason.Since returning from the training camp, she returned the notebook, and there has been no interaction since then. This is the first time she has seen anyone in two months.

"Do you want to go up and say hello?" Xie Zhiyao noticed her expression, couldn't help but look at her twice, and muttered in a low voice, "You should be familiar with the notebook before."

Xu Huai'an was inexplicably startled, and the look in his eyes was a little subtle.

Xie Zhiyao raised his head and looked at her, and looked away guiltily.

Wait a minute... what is she talking about? !

"Unfamiliar, not puppy love." Xu Huai'an couldn't help but bent her lips. She raised her hand and rubbed the man's head, "Could it be that you want to say hello?"

"No! I..."

It's a pity that before she finished speaking, Xu Huai'an suddenly covered her mouth, and squatted down suddenly beside her.

"Shh!" She put her fingertips on her lips, her eyes flickered slightly and looked at the layer diagonally opposite, "something is wrong."

The warm palm pressed against the lips, wrapped in a heat that cannot be ignored.Xie Zhiyao was stunned for two seconds, then looked over there belatedly.

The two boys lowered their heads, and a person who looked like a teacher standing behind him was talking on the phone, and seemed to be pointing in this direction continuously.

The footsteps of high heels seemed to be faintly heard at the stairway.

"That's... the teacher of the third year of high school, right?" Xie Zhiyao grabbed Xu Huai'an's hand and pulled it down a little, lowering his voice, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Xu Huai'an shook his head, "Let's go down the other staircase first, or you will have to explain when you are discovered."

Although No. [-] Middle School allows students not to take evening classes in class, it is not so lenient as to allow students to run around.It's good that they came here to celebrate their birthday and were not found. If they are found, they have to explain. Now that the opposite is like this, if they are not in order, will there be someone patrolling behind? It will be very troublesome then.

Although she didn't know what happened, it probably wasn't a trivial matter from the looks of it.And... I don't know why I always have a bad feeling.

Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but glance over there, and nodded.

With their waists bent, the two cautiously slipped out from the other side of the stairs.

However, what they didn't expect was that their doubts the night before would be resolved in the next day's physical education class.

After two laps of warm-up, the physical education teacher let them go free as usual.Xie Zhiyao originally wanted to borrow a badminton racket to play, but there was not enough space, so he had to give up.

The two of them thought about going back to the dormitory for self-study, so as not to have to go back to turn on the desk lamp because of homework at night, but as soon as they walked near the laboratory building, they heard a burst of abuse.

"Why did I give birth to you bastard!"

The boy's eyes were red, his lips were trembling, but he was stubborn and refused to bow his head.He stood in the shadows, the thin sunlight was blocked by the broad leaves of the trees, and it couldn't fall at all.

Under the sunlight more than ten meters away, the young man was hunched over, his gentle face was bruised and purple. He was dragged away by his parents step by step.

Xu Huaian paused, and suddenly his eyes widened.

Could it be that……

Xie Zhiyao was also stunned, surrounded by a dozen other students who were also passing by, she took two steps forward and saw the person's face clearly.

At this distance, the scolding of middle-aged men and the crying of women can even be heard.

"We're not wrong. Is it wrong to like someone?" Under the shadow, Xiang Yuzhou pulled the corner of his mouth and choked up, "We didn't hinder anyone, and it's not a disease to like the same sex...Why do you have to be wrong? !"

"Pa——" A slap was slapped heavily on his face, making him stagger.

"Shut up the fuck! This is a pervert!" The man seemed to be displeased enough, he raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach again, and wanted to move forward to strike again, but was stopped by the watching teacher.

"This parent! Calm down!"

"Other students! Don't surround them! Hurry up and go to class!"

The scene was very chaotic for a while, with the sound of cursing, persuasion and whispering mixed together, which made people's temples hurt.

Xie Zhiyao belatedly felt the strange coldness of the hands she was holding, and she couldn't help but clenched it a bit.

"Did you...know?"

Xu Huaian blinked slowly, the girl Wenxiu's face seemed to show a little fragile expression in the cold wind, she let out a breath slowly, and nodded.

"I knew it by coincidence. I promised him to keep it secret, so I didn't tell you."

And it has nothing to do with it.

Xie Zhiyao sighed, gently rubbed her knuckles with his fingertips, and looked at her with complicated eyes.

After the chicken feathers were all over the floor, the last thing that caught their eyes was the sad look when the boy raised his eyes.

Xu Huai'an lowered his head, and walked slowly on the school road, the teenager's arguments and the parents' scolding still seemed to echo in his ears.

Xie Zhiyao walked side by side with her, tacitly did not speak.

Walking all the way from there, she took a chance to look at the school's post bar.There are many people discussing this matter, some agree with it, and some oppose it. They usually listen to gossip news that has nothing to do with them, but this is the first time they have seen these conflicts head-on.

Before that, the word homosexuality was only a concept in writing.

"I think..." After an unknown amount of time, Xie Zhiyao stood still under the sycamore tree next to the playground. She turned her head and said seriously, "They are not wrong."

Xu Huaian raised his eyes to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Like someone...why do you care about gender? Isn't it because you happen to be that person that you fall in love with it?"

Xu Huaian's eyes moved slightly, she pursed her lower lip, and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Something flowed through her heart, propelling her to move forward, touching a field that was originally like a fog.

"Huai'an?" Seeing her silence for a long time, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but look at her twice, and called her name softly.

"...Ayao." Xu Huai'an came back to his senses and took a deep breath.

The sun shone on the girl's beautiful and handsome face, as if pouring layers of light and shadow into those dark eyes.

"If... I mean if." She raised her eyes and looked straight into Xie Zhiyao's eyes.

"One day in the future you find yourself in love with a girl, do you think so too?"

The author has something to say:

I am guilty of this place, dare to do it next time (bushi

How do you think Zhiyao will answer (laughs)
