youth and time

Running back and forth yesterday, both working and taking care of the patients, Jiang Yufan was so tired that he slept so darkly.

It was just dawn, and Jiang Yufan was dreaming of staying in Yangcheng to spend the New Year with Zhong Chaozhou, when he was dragged up mercilessly and very rudely.

After Jiang Lin washed, he found that Jiang Yufan was still wrapped in the quilt and curled up on the bed. Without a word, he walked up, pulled the quilt off, and then grabbed the collar and sat him up: "Hurry up! Clean up! We agreed to go to the canteen of the police station to make dumplings together today!"

A series of Jiang Lin's words were like firecrackers, and they were smashed down on the head and face. Jiang Yufan was frightened awake immediately, and sat up from the bed suddenly with the pillow in his arms. Danfeng looked at Jiang Lin with misty eyes: "ah?"

"Ah what, hurry up and tidy up." Jiang Lin rubbed his son's head, "Hurry up, or we'll be late."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan got out of bed ignorantly, changed clothes ignorantly, and went to wash up ignorantly, until everything was taken care of, and when he left the hotel and got on the car bound for the police station, he was still awake look.

Looking at Jiang Yufan's innocent and ignorant face, Jiang Huan instantly burst into a girl's heart, and to be precise, her motherhood overflowed.

Jiang Huan covered his heart and sighed softly.

My brother is so cute.

Fortunately, that kid Zhong Chaozhou wasn't there, otherwise he would have been taken advantage of.

But Jiang Huan didn't know, in fact, it didn't matter if Zhong Chaozhou was there, because he had seen him once before, and that time Jiang Yufan fell asleep directly leaning on Zhong Chaozhou's shoulder.

The back kitchen of the police station has already begun to prepare all kinds of ingredients. Dumplings are not made very much here in Yunnan during the Chinese New Year, but this mission was captured in Beijing because of an important clue person. Therefore, the final mission is between Yunnan local police and Beijing’s The police jointly implemented it, and there were many northerners lying in the hospital. In order to take care of the northerners' New Year's habits, the superiors decided to make dumplings.

Many family members of the northern policemen who were lying in the hospital had come, and they had already begun to make noodles and stuffing in full swing.

Seeing Jiang Lin's family, a member of the family said, "Oh, here we come! Have you eaten in the morning? If you didn't eat, there is something there, so you can rest your stomach."

Jiang Huan got up early in the morning and was very hungry, so he ran over to squeeze some and started to eat. Jiang Yufan was woken up early in the morning, and now he is still in a sleepy state, with no appetite, so he found a chair and sat down , staring at the mopped clean and shiny tile floor in a daze.

The job of mixing noodles and stuffing doesn’t need to be done by children, adults are all busy. Jiang Huan, Jiang Yufan, and a few others of the same age, the children who came to Yunnan to watch their families just need to wait to make dumplings later That's it.

It was very hot in the kitchen, Jiang Yufan frowned irritably, and ran out while he didn't need to work by himself now, leaning against the window in the corridor to blow the air.

Today is New Year's Eve, so Yangcheng must be very busy. He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call Zhong Chaozhou. Before the number was broadcast, Zhong Chaozhou's call came in.

"Hey! Cub~~~"

This "Zai Zai" yelled very emotionally, and the tone was like a nine-twist and eighteen-bend. At first glance, you might think that the other party is singing a folk song.

Jiang Yufan was silent for a moment, looked at the call interface, and after confirming that it was Zhong Chaozhou, he said lightly: "Can you be normal."

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

"You... hey, forget it, it's nothing. Why are you calling?"

"What do you think? Today is New Year's Eve. Of course I called you to wish you a happy New Year! What are you doing now?"

"Me? I'm about to make dumplings, how about you?"

"Well... I'm about the same. I just helped my mother fry some hairtail and meatballs."

Leaning against the edge of the window, Jiang Yufan curled his lips: "Fried meatballs. I want to eat them too. We don't make them here."

"Huh? Do you eat? Meat."

"Eat. I will eat the croquettes during the Chinese New Year."

"When you come back, come to my house to eat. If you want to eat fresh, I can fry it for you. I just learned how to make meat with my mother."

There was a little smile between Jiang Yufan's brows: "Well, good."

"Jiang Yufan." Zhong Chaozhou's voice suddenly dropped, "I miss you so much."

Jiang Yufan smiled: "You have to say this every time you call."

"That means I really miss you." Zhong Chaozhou dragged out his tone, "I want to celebrate the New Year with you."

"On the sixth day, I will go back on the sixth day. Then we can spend the Lantern Festival together."

Zhong Chaozhou hummed twice again: "I feel that you are not very willing to come back, and you don't even say you miss me."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

"I didn't say...it doesn't mean I don't want to."

"Then if you say it, it means you want it more."

"........."

Jiang Yufan was fascinated by this magical logic, and he clicked his tongue: "If you don't say it, you don't say it. Is there anything else? I'll hang up first."

"Oh, don't you~" Zhong Chaozhou began to pinch his sweet and coquettish voice again, "You just say that you miss me, just say a word."

"……Did not say."

"Just say one sentence~ just one sentence~"

Jiang Yufan was amused by that tone, his neck turned red a lot, he turned up his collar, and repeated again: "If you don't say it, you just don't say it."

"Aiya~Xiaofan~Cub~"

"Oh, stop yelling!" Jiang Yufan interrupted him, knowing that if he didn't say that he missed him, he would find a way to harass him for a day.

Zhong Chaozhou muttered: "Then if you say you miss me, I won't call you anymore."

"..."

Holding the phone, Jiang Yufan looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he approached the phone and said in a low voice, "Zhong Chaozhou."

"Ah."

"I..." Jiang Yufan didn't tell anyone that he missed you very much, even to Jiang Yuqing. It would be embarrassing for him to say that. Jiang Yufan took a few deep breaths, He tried to say it, but he didn't say it in the end. Zhong Chaozhou didn't rush and just waited.

After a long time, Jiang Yufan adjusted his breathing and whispered, "I, I miss you..."

After Jiang Yufan finished speaking, his ears and neck were as red as boiled shrimp. He immediately put on the hood of his sweater, trying to cover up his embarrassment, even though there was no one around.

Jiang Yufan's voice was very small and thin, and Zhong Chaozhou could barely hear it clearly. Knowing that his partner was thin-skinned, he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Well, I received Zai Zai's miss, then I will wait for it." You came back when you were in sixth grade."

At the end, the voice suddenly raised: "Happy New Year!"

"...Mmm." Jiang Yufan responded sullenly, "Happy New Year."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yufan felt that all the strength in his body was taken away, and he leaned limply against the wall.

Outside the window, some children were holding firecrackers, and the crackling sound filled the street.

At this time, Jiang Yufan felt that his heart was also crackling and exploding. After the explosion, what was left was not the broken firecracker coat and the sky full of dust, but orange-yellow thick honey, which was sweet even if touched Yes, under the watering of honey, the branches and leaves of the seedlings gradually grow, and finally grow into a towering tree, with flowers blooming tree after tree, perhaps because of the watering of honey, even the fragrance of the flowers is sweet.

Jiang Yufan was wearing a hat and turned up his collar, only two eyes with curved eyebrows were exposed.

Under the cover of the collar, the corners of the mouth can't be restrained crazily raised.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Lin, An Ruosu, Jiang Yufan and Jiang Huan went to the hospital with the cooked dumplings. The whole family got together, eating dumplings and chatting, enjoying themselves.

Although Jiang Ming couldn't eat dumplings for the time being, this did not prevent him from enjoying the joy of family reunion during the New Year.

As long as the family can be reunited, it doesn't matter where they are, and it doesn't matter if they have dumplings or not.

Jiang Ming looked at all the family members smiling happily, and the depression in his heart was also washed away by the strong taste of the new year.

He's back, he's back home, and the ten-year undercover life of pain is completely over.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV, and outside the window, streaks of white light shot up into the sky, and exploded with a siu sound, exploding pieces of fiery trees and silver flowers in the night sky like splashing ink, and in an instant, the world was eclipsed.

The brilliant fireworks and the colorful lights on the roof complement each other at night, and jointly compose the New Year's prelude and the song of reunion. People's laughter spreads all over the world and the north and south of the river. Disappeared.

With a slight smile on Jiang Yufan's face, he looked up at the fireworks in the sky. Suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated, and it was a video call from Zhong Chaozhou.

Standing next to him, Jiang Lin looked down at the sound, then turned his head to look at Jiang Ming, and said, "Go out and pick it up, now...it's not convenient for them to know."

"Ah good."

Jiang Yufan left the ward, found a quiet corner, and connected the video call.

As soon as the green button was clicked, the handsome face of Zhong Chaozhou, who hadn't seen it for a long time and just appeared in Jiang Yufan's dream last night, appeared in front of the screen: "Hello, boy!" Baby~ what are you doing now?"

When Jiang Yufan heard the word "Zai Zai", he was startled, immediately took out his earphones and put them on, and replied, "I'm having dinner with my family."

"Oh." Zhong Chaozhou looked behind Jiang Yufan, "Where are you?"

"Hey, don't ask me outside. Is there anything you can do for me?"

Zhong Chaozhou knew that Jiang Yufan didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't ask in detail, so he curled his lips: "Tch - can't I find you if I have nothing to do?"

"Hey... I can find..."

"But this time something really happened." Zhong Chaozhou said, sat up from the bed, walked to his closet, "I give you a New Year's gift."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Zhong Chaozhou changed the direction of the camera, pointed the camera at his wardrobe, and took out a yellow sweater from it.

Zhong Chaozhou turned the front of the hoodie to the camera, and a huge smiling face of SpongeBob SquarePants came into Jiang Yufan's eyes.

Jiang Yufan: "..."

"Here is the sweater I bought. How is it? Do you like it? Your favorite SpongeBob SquarePants!" Zhong Chaozhou said, shaking the clothes with the clothes support as if showing off, then put SpongeBob SquarePants aside, and went to the closet again He pulled out a pink sweater from inside, "This is mine, Pai Daxing's. When you come back, let's go out in this, couple outfit, how about it?"

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Zhong Chaozhou looked at Jiang Yufan's complicated expression on the screen, and blinked: "What kind of expression is that? Don't you like it?"

"..." Jiang Yufan took a deep breath, squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Happy, happy."

"I knew you would like it!" Zhong Chaozhou squinted his eyes and smiled, "Oh, I also bought the ones from Boss Crab, Boss Ruffian, Brother Octopus, and Sandy. If you buy it with money, you will distribute it to them according to the dolls. For Mr. Crab, don’t mention it. Shen Yi’an is quite capable. He sold that sweater to Huo Qi, and the price was nearly [-]% higher than what we bought. , Damn, I laughed so hard, this kid is quite good at business."

Jiang Yufan smiled: "He's finally vented his anger."

"That's right, it excited that kid."

This topic ended here, the two of them were quiet for a while, and Zhong Chaozhou suddenly asked: "Are you over there... are you having fun?"

"Ah, it's okay, what's the matter?"

"Hmm...just...is there...have any girls approached you?"

Jiang Yufan: "……………………No."

Zhong Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief instantly: "Oh, then I can rest assured."

"..." Jiang Yufan sighed, "Where's Bubble? How's it going?"

"Your little Wang... No, little turtle, it's alright. Here, look, how fun it is."

The appearance of Bubble flopping around in the water with four short legs appeared in the camera, Jiang Yufan looked at the little turtle's naive look, and curled the corners of his mouth: "You take good care of it."

"That's right. I'm amazing!"

"Small boat—"

Chen Jin's voice came from the other end of the video.

Zhong Chaozhou turned around and responded, "My mother called me, let's do this first, I'll call you later."

"Well, you are busy, goodbye."

"Bye bye—" Zhong Chaozhou said, putting his hand on his lips, and blew a kiss to Jiang Yufan.

Jiang Yufan smiled softly, put away his phone, and went back to the ward.

Next, various leaders, colleagues, and family members of colleagues went to the wards to visit each other.

Jiang Yufan and Jiang Huan sat on the side, propped their chins and watched the adults greet each other politely. From time to time, they would chat and joke with each other.

It's boring, but it's also heartwarming.

After bouts of excitement, Jiang Yufan became more and more sleepy, he yawned lazily, Jiang Yuqing glanced at him: "Sleepy?"

Jiang Yufan nodded with half-closed eyes: "Yes."

Jiang Yuqing was instantly mesmerized by that kitten-like expression, and he stroked Jiang Yufan's hair affectionately: "Good boy, bear with me, and... a 2-minute New Year's countdown, let's go together after the new year sleep."

Jiang Yufan yawned again: "Okay."

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhong Chaozhou called again, but this time it was not a video call, but an ordinary phone call.

Jiang Yufan pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"Hey, Zai Zai." Zhong Chaozhou's voice sounded energetic and energetic, "Is it convenient for you right now?"

"What are you doing?"

"Why not. Just ask, if it's convenient for you... Just make a phone call like this, don't hang up, we two... New Year's Eve together."

Jiang Yufan was taken aback, he turned his head to look at the family members in the first ward, and thought that it was actually quite inconvenient, but he decided to hide the fact: "Convenience."

He is also selfish.

He also wants to spend New Years Eve with the one he likes.

Zhong Chaozhou's voice was faintly smiling: "Okay."

The time enters the countdown of 30 seconds.

There is a big shopping mall near the hospital. At this moment, the LED scrolling screen of the big shopping mall is also displaying a 30-second countdown.

The square in front of the shopping mall was also full of people. Everyone looked up at the big colorful screen with excitement and eagerness in their eyes, counting down the numbers in their hearts along with the numbers on the screen.

29.

28.

27.

……

Seeing that the countdown had entered ten seconds, almost everyone could not help but check out the sound. There were so many people in the square, their counting voice even penetrated the glass, and could be heard clearly in the hospital ward.

Even Jiang Yufan followed the voice of Zhong Chaozhou on the phone, counting numbers one by one.

“10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1……”

"When - when - when -"

The clock strikes, and the hour and minute hands coincide at 12.

At this moment, in the ward, on the square, on the TV, and on the phone, the same voice rang out at the same time: "Happy New Year——"

In the ward, the whole family except Jiang Ming stood up and wished each other a happy new year.

"Zai Zai! Happy New Year!"

"Yeah." Jiang Yufan's eyes and brows were also stained with joy, "Happy New Year!"

Outside the window, with the ringing of the New Year's bell at twelve o'clock, clusters of gorgeous fires bloomed in the sky full of purple-blue splashes of ink. The colorful fireworks, together with the bright and bright lights, set the whole city in a state of tranquility. In the nightless sky.

Jiang Yufan stood by the bed, looking up at the gorgeous sky, the fireworks reflected in his eyes, which made the misty eyes clear a lot.

He watched streaks of white light go straight up to the sky, blooming in the sky, and the tiny sparks fell to the ground like the scattered flowers of a celestial maiden.

"Oh shit!" Zhong Chaozhou's rough voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, instantly shattering Jiang Yufan's dream, Jiang Yufan pouted, and was about to say something when Zhong Chaozhou continued to yell, "It's snowing It’s snowing! Damn it! Cub! It’s snowing in Yangcheng!”

"Ah? Is it snowing?" Jiang Yufan was taken aback, and Jiang Huan asked, "Where is it snowing?"

The whole family heard Jiang Huan's sound, Jiang Yufan was speechless for a while, Zhong Chaozhou said with a smile: "Well, I'll start the video...forget it, I'll take a few short videos for you, and then take a few photos Here you go."

Jiang Yufan's heart warmed up: "Okay."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jiang Yufan's phone buzzed, and Zhong Chaozhou sent a lot of videos and photos one after another.

The snow in Yangcheng was not small, similar to that on the winter solstice day. Soon, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.

The videos Zhong Chaozhou sent were all taken of Snow, and the photos were of his New Year’s Eve dinner, as well as photos with Shen Yi’an, Qiao Yunfei and Shen Tianyu.

Everyone had beaming smiles on their faces.

At the end, Zhong Chaozhou sent another sentence: Happy New Year, I will wait for your return.

Jiang Yufan first forwarded the video to the family group, and then huddled in a corner. While the family was watching the snow, he held his mobile phone alone, showing a silly smile, and the two small dimples revealed boundless cuteness.

He clicked on the conversation bar, tapped the keyboard again and again, and replied: Happy New Year.

Then, after thinking about it, he typed again: I will go home as soon as possible.

In Yangcheng, which is more than half of China, Zhong Chaozhou, like Jiang Yufan, huddled in a corner by himself, holding his mobile phone and giggling.

The heart of a young man is like that heavy snow, white and pure, without any interests and needs, falling lightly. However, even such pure and gentle feelings can be as hot as the bunches of fiery trees and silver flowers outside the window. And dazzling, fierce and gorgeous, even in the endless night and the cold winter months, it can bring a little light and warmth to others, and leave an indelible impression in the world of the beloved.

Jiang Yufan leaned against the wall and looked up at the fireworks, but Zhong Chaozhou's face appeared in front of his eyes.

He picked up his phone again, and sent a message to Zhong Chaozhou by accident.

——Zhong Chaozhou, I like you so much.
