until now

February 2014, 1, New Year's Eve.

At 06:30 in the morning, the sky in Baicheng was just getting bright, but the weather was gloomy.The air doesn't make people feel cold, which is a sign of snow. For some reason, there is a lot of snow in Baicheng this year.The snow has not yet melted in one game, and the next one will come again. The roads cleaned by workers will not be too bad, but the snow on some roads that have not come and been cleaned has been compacted. Someone will slip and fall.

Shen Feng opened his eyes abruptly, his slightly panicked eyes showed that this was not a natural awakening.

He always felt that his chest was as heavy as a thousand catties of stone, and he couldn't breathe. Shen Feng took a few deep breaths, only to discover the existence of the little wonton that was rising and falling with his chest.It turns out that after several months of care, the thin stray cat has grown to a considerable size and weight.

Shen Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Little Wonton's head, Little Wonton half-opened his eyes dissatisfied and gave Shen Feng a look, rolled down his chest lazily, found another comfortable position on the bed and fell asleep.

Shen Feng washed up and came out of the room. The lights in the huge house were not turned on, and it was quiet in the dimly lit morning.It has only been more than a week since the two reached a consensus last time, but in terms of lifestyle, the two have gotten along well.Shen Feng's work often has no day and night. When inspiration comes, it is possible to stay overnight, so he usually doesn't get up early in the morning, but Chen Xiao, who wakes up early for morning exercises, always makes breakfast after morning exercises, and then quietly When going out, occasionally when you are not busy with work, you will come back to pick up Shen Feng and invite him to have lunch together.

Generally speaking, Shen Feng has always been taken care of.

It was rare for me to get up early today. I opened the refrigerator and found that the ingredients were all available. I wanted to make the pasta I had eaten when I was a child on a whim, so I scooped two spoonfuls of noodles and started mixing noodles.

When Chen Xiao came back panting slightly, he saw such a scene. Shen Feng was wearing the apron he usually wears, his mouth was pursed and his eyes were focused, he was holding a small basin in his left hand, and his right hand was stiffly chasing something into the boiling water. Shi, his already fair face was now slightly reddish by the steam, and it looked like it was dusted with some flour.Chen Xiao felt a little funny for a while, but it was more of a kind of warmth, driving away the chill of deep winter from the inside out.

Only after the basin in his hand was taken over did Shen Feng notice that Chen Xiao had returned.So he handed over the breakfast work in a good manner, and it was rare that he took off the apron and put it on for Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao felt so close to his sweetheart, and he couldn't tell how happy he was.

After simply asking a few words, Chen Xiao understood what Shen Feng wanted to do. After a few trials, he became much more proficient in his techniques. Such a good man.

"Why did you get up so early?" Chen Xiao kept moving his hands, talking to Shen Feng without saying a word.

Just as he was speaking, the culprit who caused Shen Feng to get up early walked out of the house with small steps, washed his face with his paws in front of the two of them, and barked at his cat bowl again.

Shen Feng smiled and went to make food for Little Wonton, and replied: "It's not this little fat cat that slept on my chest and almost crushed me to death this morning. Little Wonton, you are getting fatter and fatter, Chen Xiao, You spoil it too much."

"Do you want it to be like you? If you are so thin, ghosts will cry when they see it." Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head, "If something happens to me, I will be very worried." Having said that, An imperceptible gloom flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.

Shen Feng poured the cat food into the bowl, looked at Little Wonton's sad eyes due to the reduced amount of cat food, and shook his index finger very seriously, Chen Xiao glanced at it from the corner of his eye, smiled slightly, and started to chop chopped green onions swiftly.

"There is nothing to worry about." Shen Feng washed his hands to help Chen Xiao take the bowl, "If that kind of thing really happened, I might not necessarily be at a disadvantage."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes searched a little more.Shen Feng rubbed his sore right hand, and said calmly: "That man retired from the army. He was also a good player in the army back then, but he made a mistake. After I was...discovered, he thought it was because I was too skinny, too feminine, so I tried my best to make me 'masculine', forcing me to learn everything he learned in the army."

"I was quite rebellious for a while. In order to escape from such an environment, I ran away from home every now and then," Shen Feng laughed at himself, "At that time he was still young and strong, so I naturally had to do everything possible. If you say, yes What else does he have but hate? Probably thanks to the 'skills' he taught me now and then."

Chen Xiao turned off the fire, looked at Shen Feng's still indifferent expression, and suddenly got a little interested: "Otherwise, someday we will compete and learn from each other?"

Shen Feng handed over the bowl, with emotions that Chen Xiao couldn't understand flickering in his eyes: "You wouldn't think like this."

That's the end of the topic, the two of them ate breakfast quietly.The stew was made by Shen Feng, because the taste was still the same as before, Chen Xiao and Chen Feng were satisfied with it, and decided to make it every now and then.

The two people who were full sat in a glass room in a daze. The original batch of tulips had already bloomed, and now only the lush leaves are left, which is also very beautiful.Shen Feng took a small sketchbook and didn't know what he was sketching, while Chen Xiao took a tablet computer to process documents, occasionally had some phone calls, and never avoided Shen Feng.

Most of Chen Xiao's phone calls are trivial business. If there is something important, you will see Gu Jing coming to the door in person. Shen Feng put down his brush and suddenly remembered that today is New Year's Eve. He just wanted to turn around and ask Chen Xiao why he was still here. Xiao just answered a phone call, Shen Feng remained silent, and looked at Chen Xiao's frowning brows with his chin resting on his hand.

"Hmm... I see... yes, ok, I'll go back to have dinner... ok." He hung up the phone neatly, sent another text message, and then flicked the phone on the sofa beside him Chen Xiao only felt the throbbing pain in his temples, thinking about the look on Shen Feng's face that he wanted to say something before answering the phone, Chen Xiao turned his head and asked Shen Feng: "What did you want to say just now?"

"Huh? It's okay." Shen Feng shook his head.Originally, he wanted to ask if Chen Xiao didn't have to go home on New Year's Eve, but from the look of the phone call, he should be going back.

Chen Xiao has a family, so it's normal to go back.

New Year's Eve... what to eat...how about going to Su Qing and Chen Yanyan?Ah forget it, it's not very good to disturb the young couple on New Year's Eve.

Shen Feng turned the pencil unconsciously, thinking about how to live today, when the phone in his pocket rang.

He took out the phone and saw it was a number he didn't recognize.Shen Feng never liked to answer calls he didn't know, just now he wanted to hang up, but the caller automatically hung up, and not long after, a text message was sent.

"I'm Qin Hao. New Year's Eve...do you want to spend it together?"

Shen Feng was a little surprised when he saw the text message, for a while he didn't understand what the other party meant, to live together?Do they live together, or do they live together as a couple?However, no matter what kind it is, Shen Feng has some resistance in his heart. He and Qin Hao can't go back to the beginning. Since they can't go back, it's better to break up. And his own sister, Shen Ling, Shen Feng's relationship is even more complicated. .

After all, blood is thicker than water, no matter how much you hate, you are still relatives by blood.

Chen Xiao looked at Shen Feng staring at the phone in a daze, and couldn't help being a little curious: "Whose text message?" When he asked, Chen Xiao felt a little regretful, Shen Feng has always disliked others interfering in his affairs too much.If it were someone else, they might just ask casually and don't take it to heart, but Chen Xiao cares more about Shen Feng, and even such small questions usually have to be carefully thought out for a long time.The words just now were obviously blurted out.

"Huh? It's nothing." When asked by Chen Xiao, Shen Feng came to his senses, and answered casually, the text was wrong, and there was no reply to the text message, so he locked the screen and put it back in his pocket.

Chen Xiao was a little disappointed by the unnutritious answer, but it was also expected.After all, although the two of them are trying each other, the distance between them is still very long, Chen Xiao keeps telling himself that there is no rush.

Shen Feng picked up the paintbrush and continued to draw. Just after two strokes, he said nonchalantly, "Qin Hao is on the phone and wants to ask if I want to celebrate the New Year together."

"..." Chen Xiao was also surprised, surprised that Shen Feng would tell himself. "Then...how did you plan?"

"I don't have any plans." Shen Feng's tone was emotionless, and he took a proper glass of warm water, showing no emotion. "What about you? Do you want to go home?" After holding back, Shen Feng still asked.

Chen Xiao closed the tablet: "I won't go back."

Now it was Shen Feng's turn to be surprised: "Not going back? But just now—"

"The plan hasn't changed quickly." Chen Xiao said with a meaningful smile in his tone, "Celebrate the New Year together?"

Shen Feng didn't answer, but just looked at Chen Xiao quietly.After a long time, he turned his face and spit out a word softly.

"also."

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Chen family's old house was not so harmonious.

Boss Mu sat across from Chen Qisheng with a livid face, and said coldly, "Boss Chen is really like the rumors outside, turning his face is faster than turning a book."

Chen Qisheng's smile didn't loosen at all: "Don't dare to be dare not. But this matter really depends on the dog's intentions. A twisted melon is not sweet, isn't it? No? Why hang on the tree of my Chen family."

Boss Mu snorted coldly, thinking in his heart, he clearly avoided the Mu family because of the bad trend recently. When he begged himself to get married, he was like a dog wagging his tail. He begged him tearfully, how could Boss Mu, who is as proud as him, come here to make fun of himself, even daring to pick and choose the other party's illegitimate child!

Boss Mu didn't want to say more, he just said that this matter will be discussed again, and walked away with a dark face.And Su Xinran, who was listening to the corner of the hall, turned and left calmly. After walking a few steps, she was dragged into another room by another pair of big hands.

"...Why is it you?!" Su Xinran whispered in surprise.

The one holding Su Xinran's hand was none other than her husband, Chen Jun, who went abroad to work after the wedding.

Chen Jun and Chen Xiao don't look much alike, the only similarity is probably that they both like to keep that heroic face.

"Call Chen Xiao and ask him to come back." The other party grabbed Su Xinran's slender wrist, rubbed his thumb on the inside of the wrist for a moment, and then reluctantly let go. "I didn't care about you during this time, but you had a good time?"
