happy snow

The first snow of the year fell, thickly accumulated on the gray ground, pressed on the branches of trees, and fell into everyone's heart, soft and dense.

In the haze of fog or haze, the students received their final grades and accepted another baptism from the bottom of their hearts.

Tang Chengxue and his roommates packed up their luggage in a fuss, and sat on the suitcase and the bed, waiting for their family to pick them up.Lou Bei looked bitter, afraid to meet his parents' mixed doubles.But also sincerely looking forward to the holiday carnival.

"After I go back, I will inevitably have a board!" Lou Bei twisted his chubby body and moved his quilt, "Xuexue, if I can test you, that's fine too!"

Tang Chengxue didn't even roll her eyes: "Whatever you call it? Fatty?"

Lou Beiban changed his words perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, if I can pass the exam like you do, I will have to hang up the whip to celebrate!"

Tang Chengxue's three science subjects were extremely miserable, but the three subjects of humanities were not bad, worthy of his fear in physics class.

The mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang, and Lou Bei took it out with his fat hand and looked at it: "Xue, my dad is here, can you help me carry these bags?"

"Okay, Lord Lou!"

After sending Lou Bei away, almost all the people in the dormitory had left, and the normally crowded room became empty, and the only thing that seemed angry was the dust flying in the sun.

Until the bell rang, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Cheng Xue, there is something wrong with the convoy, you can take a taxi and come back."

"Well, fine." Tang Chengxue's tone didn't change.But he hung up the phone and lay on his back on the bed, his eyes were sore and astringent, and when he didn't pay attention, the cold touch of tears ran across his skin.

Really disappointing.

The place where the No. [-] Middle School is located can be said to be crowded with schools. Today is the end of the semester holiday, so there must be a huge crowd of people. All the parents came to pick up their darlings home, even though the darlings brought home zero duck eggs.

Tang Chengxue had already imagined the scene of himself taking a taxi on the side of the road with his luggage. The crowd around him was bustling with joy, but he could only feel the cold wind blowing in front of him.Of course, most likely no taxi at all.

When Tang Chengxue was in a trance, a tall and straight figure stopped at the door of the dormitory, and he knocked on the concealed door: "Why are you still lying down? Sleeping?"

Seeing that it was Shen Jinhuan, Tang Chengxue sat up hastily: "Aren't you tired, just sleep for a while."

"Then when will you go home?" Shen Jinhuan pulled a small suitcase, obviously leaving too.

Tang Chengxue took a deep breath secretly, not wanting Shen Jinhuan to see any flaws: "Let's go later." He didn't want to go out of school with Shen Jinhuan, because Shen Jinhuan would see him in a hurry to take a taxi.

"Come with me." Shen Jinhuan walked into the house to help Tang Chengxue carry the luggage, "I'll take you home."

"No, I'll just go back by myself!" Tang Chengxue reached out to stop her, but halfway through, the tears couldn't be held back, and they fell down.

So he didn't intend to bear it any longer, and simply stretched his sleeves to wipe away his tears, crying while wiping: "It's agreed to come and pick me up, why doesn't the words count? I know he's busy, but, but I still want him to come. "Tang Chengxue has always been used to forbearance, and almost never showed an unhappy expression in front of others.But today, it just broke out without warning.

It doesn't matter if you are ashamed, just care about him, whoever you love.

Shen Jinhuan was a little at a loss, he took out a tissue in a panic and handed it over: "There's me, too, to take you home."

Tang Chengxue looked at Shen Jinhuan with eyes covered with water vapor.In fact, Tang Chengxue was entangled, he was reluctant to let go of this tenderness, but he didn't want Shen Jinhuan to see his family's embarrassment.

In the end, he got into Shen Jinhuan's car.A very understated luxury car.The warm wind inside and the blocked road outside made Tang Chengxue feel restless.

Tang Chengxue's home is in a village in the western suburbs of the city. It's not particularly remote, but it's still a village, and the main roads of the village are full of potholes.

Seeing that the bridge at the entrance of the village was approaching, Tang Chengxue was overjoyed instantly. There was a market in the village today, and there were so many people selling goods, it was impossible for Shen Jinhuan to drive in.

He said slowly: "Shen Jin, just put me on this bridge."

Shen Jinhuan said clearly: "Okay, then I'm tired and you pull the suitcase back."

"Thank you." Tang Chengxue turned her head to look at Shen Jinhuan, her eyes were extremely sincere.

"You never have to tell me that."

"Why?" Tang Cheng asked, "Why do you always treat me so well?"

Shen Jinhuan said, "Because of me, I like you." It was still the kind of smile that made Tang Chengxue fall in love with it, but it was undoubtedly covered with something inexplicable.

Just treat it as a joke!Tang Chengxue thought.So he also said: "I like you too, let's get even."

If possible, Tang Chengxue would also like Shen Jinhuan to come and sit at home.But it's about his little dignity.

It's not that I feel ashamed, but I just don't want to seek sympathy from others, especially Shen Jinhuan.

Tang Chengxue pulled the suitcase through the bustling market, and he always had the illusion that the wheels of the suitcase would get stuck on the road in a second.

Finally got home.

That green mottled iron gate, the big empty earth-colored yard.

The yard is big and the room is small.There are many people and few places.As soon as he entered the house, Tang Chengxue felt the low-pressure air rushing towards his face, as if his heart was constricting suddenly.

Two children can be heard watching cartoons in the living room through the sound.Tang Chengxue planned to put the luggage in his bedroom first. The room to the west was a single family, so he didn't need to disturb anyone.

But halfway through, Tang's mother's hoarse roar came through the glass and tore through the air: "What are you doing! Eating! Eating again! Why don't you die! Why don't you die!!"

Tang Chengxue put down her luggage and walked to her mother's bedroom: "Mom, what's wrong?"

The familiar stuffy and foul smell, the familiar messy and dirty feeling.Mother Tang was putting the towel in the basin to clear it up, and the sewage in the basin had some yellow traces.

Mother Tang wrung out the towel with her thick and rough hands, and walked to Tang Anfeng, Tang Chengxue's father, who was lying on the wooden bed.

"Look at your dad, he stuffs shit into his mouth every day, he's so stupid that he doesn't know anything! I can't live with such a patient every day!"

Tang Chengxue took the towel from his mother and wiped the stains around his father's mouth.Tang Anfeng's eyeballs were cloudy and his eyes were dull. He had been lying on that rotten wooden bed all year round.

"Mom, take a break. I'll wipe it for Dad." Tang Chengxue said weakly.

Mother Tang leaned against the black-stained door frame, frowned heavily, and said in a low voice, "Your brother's convoy has an accident again, alas, I have already told him not to let him do it alone, and he will not be able to live well for several years now." It's..."

Tang Chengxue didn't intend to answer, but heard his sister-in-law Li Shu's sharp voice: "I didn't let you get involved in the accident, who made you worry about it?"

Mother Tang opened the door curtain and said to Li Shu: "Look at what you said, who cares if I don't worry about my son?" Li Shu didn't say any more.

Tang Chengxue didn't have any special feelings because it was commonplace.

He has a vulgar and rotten story.The father who can't take care of himself due to illness, the mother who is also sick but has to take care of his father, the elder brother who is desperately making money, the chicken feather sister-in-law, and two nephews who are desperate for food.The story pieced together by these factors is so magical and realistic.

He has seen the helplessness of too many people in the family.He has seen his mother crying in aggrieved way, his elder brother sighing helplessly, and his elder sister cursing viciously.But he never empathized.Tang Chengxue thought, is he too indifferent?

But he clearly knows that his life is like an old-fashioned air conditioner whose voltage is too low to turn it on, like a broken wooden stool covered with oil stains and missing a leg, like himself, not as good as Zhang Ailing's lice-covered suit. Gorgeous gown.

New Year's Eve.

The Tang family ate dumplings as usual, and Tang Chengxue's elder brother Tang Chengyu held the wine glass: "Come on, Chengxue, let's drink one. This year is not easy, next year we will work hard together!"

Tang Chengxue never said anything in a scene, even to her own brother, so she could only raise her glass, drain the spirits in it, and work hard together.

The Spring Festival Gala started at [-]:[-] p.m. Tang Chengxue was bored on the sofa and fiddled with his mobile phone, waiting to ask Shen Jinhuan what he was doing.The two nephews on the side were noisy, and saw that grandma really didn't let me watch cartoons, so they tossed back and forth.

The class group began to give out red envelopes, and the big and small packages were given out in turn.Shen Jinhuan sent a big red envelope, and Tang Chengxue happened to be lucky, so he consciously sent a red envelope.When Tang Chengxue entered the WeChat payment password, Tang Chengyu and Li Shu quarreled in the bedroom.

Li Shu shouted: "I see you dare to leave this house today!"

Tang Chengyu was about to go out, but when he heard this, he turned around: "No, why don't I go to my brother's house to play at the New Year's Eve?"

Li Shu threw away the mobile phone he was playing with: "It's Chinese New Year, what's wrong with you staying at home with the child?"

"Why are you so unreasonable? I have worked so hard for a fucking year, and in the end you pointed my nose and scolded me!"

In this quarrel, the two threw a bunch of cups and plates respectively, which ended in a big fight.

After Tang Chengxue sent out the red envelope, he put down his phone and just stayed there, neither listening nor wanting to hear their quarrel.

It's commonplace.

However, the Chinese New Year should be a happy time for the whole family, right?

Tang Chengxue walked out of the house, walked through the dark and winding alleys, and walked through the uneven dry road in the village. He stood at the bridge at the entrance of the village.The ice under the bridge can also faintly reflect the light from the snow and snow.

Taking out the cigarette in his pocket, Tang Chengxue took one and lit it.He is a smoker.He doesn't smoke in public.He only smoked two when he was too sick to bear.

Tang Chengxue thought about Tang Chengyu, her brother.In his heart, Tang Chengyu is like a god.That short, fat young man was full of youthful vigor a few years ago, but now he is tortured by life too vicissitudes.

Chicken feathers all over the place.

Tang Chengxue is not afraid of being poor, perhaps because his brother has never really made him feel poor.But poverty is a black hole that takes away all good things.Everyone is exhausted from dealing with it, so they are constantly dissatisfied and never satisfied.

Tang Chengxue has always been an optimistic person, but over the years, pessimism has inevitably penetrated into his flesh and blood.Because the pit of life no longer gives anyone a chance to breathe.

So he still has a little faith in fate, faith in fate.

But he suddenly thought of Shen Jinhuan's face.Is Shen Jinhuan's appearance also predestined?Is it a gift given to him by the god of fate?

The notification tone of WeChat happened to remind me that it was Shen Jinhuan's message, and he said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm thinking of you." Tang Chengxue took the last puff of his cigarette, and then snuffed out the cigarette end. He was indeed not lying, he was indeed "missing him".

"It's a real honor." Shen Jinhuan said, "But I spend New Year's Eve alone, so I feel a little lonely."

Tang Chengxue felt that this guy Shen Jinhuan deliberately bit the tone of "loneliness" very hard.This person is really getting more and more presumptuous.

Tang Chengxue didn't dare to speak, he felt that his tone would be unnatural: "Where are the family members?"

Shen Jinhuan sent another voice: "Speaking of this, I feel even more sad."

Tang Chengxue said: "Then don't talk about it."

"It's so sad..." The corners of Shen Jinhuan's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't see where he was sad, but it seemed that he had a plan in his chest.

Tang Chengxue said: "Come and find me, I'm at the bridge at the entrance of the village."

Shen Jinhuan didn't turn on the voice, but directly activated the accelerator and drove in the direction of Tang Chengxue.He was less than 2000 meters away from Tang Chengxue.

Tang Chengxue pinched the phone with her fingers that were red from the cold, and never waited for Shen Jinhuan's news: "Why haven't you replied yet?"

As soon as the words fell, two beams of headlights hit his side.Tang Chengxue turned around to see who was blind and deliberately dazzled others, but she saw Shen Jinhuan getting out of the car.

Tang Chengxue fanned her clothes with her clothes to confirm that she did not smell of cigarettes: "You are really here!"

"Aren't you just waiting for me?" Shen Jinhuan was wearing a milk tea-colored turtleneck sweater with a beige coat over it, his whole person was still so gentle and dazzling.

"Don't be so cute." Tang Chengxue felt a little regretful that she just came out after stretching out a down jacket. If she had known that she was going to see Shen Jinhuan, she would have taken care of it.

It's okay, our looks are here to stay.Tang Chengxue tried hard to think so.

"Get in the car, it's cold outside." Shen Jinhuan noticed his red fingers.

"Oh, where are you going?" Tang Chengxue obediently got into the car.

"It's Chinese New Year, let's go to a place with a lot of people to join in the fireworks?"

"Okay." After a while of cold wind and Shen Jinhuan's arrival, Tang Chengxue's irritability has been relieved a lot.

Shen Jinhuan turned up the temperature of the warm air in the car, and handed Tang Chengxue a bottle of water: "Drink if your throat is dry."

Tang Chengxue unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half of the bottle in one go. He smoked at the bridge for a long time. It was really dry.Then he asked, "How did you come so fast?"

Shen Jinhuan said: "I originally wanted to take you to play, so I kept wandering around."

"Oh."

Shen Jinhuan took Tang Chengxue to the mall in the center of this small town that was only built a few years ago.

Before getting out of the car, Shen Jinhuan took a scarf and covered Tang Chengxue tightly, only revealing his two slightly cunning eyes.

"I'll go in later and you still cover me like this?" Tang Chengxue's voice was muffled by the scarf.

"It's cold outside." Shen Jinhuan said.

"I think you wear less clothes than I do." Tang Chengxue rolled her eyes for Shen Jinhuan to see.

"How can I be so afraid of the cold like you?"

Tang Chengxue felt the fresh and light smell of Shen Jinhuan's body in his nostrils, which was very beautiful.

The two of them went to watch popular movies during the Spring Festival with super big cups of popcorn in their hands.Tang Chengxue basically never eats popcorn when watching movies, but Shen Jinhuan insists that eating popcorn to watch movies will bring atmosphere.

What a delicate person.Tang Chengxue stuffed a piece of popcorn into his mouth and bit it hard.

Then the two of them ate and strolled in the snack street on the first floor of the shopping mall. Basically, Tang Chengxue was eating, and Shen Jinhuan watched him eat.

Tang Chengxue was really embarrassed to be watched by Shen Jinhuan, so she turned around holding the food.Then Shen Jinhuan carried it back with one finger.

When the time was about the same, the two packed two cups of coffee and sat back in the car.

Shen Jinhuan asked: "Send you home?"

Tang Chengxue propped her forehead with her right hand: "I won't go home tonight."

Shen Jinhuan paused briefly, then started the car: "Then I'll take you somewhere."

Tang Chengxue let out an "um" and dozed off in a daze.After arriving at the destination, Shen Jinhuan didn't even have the heart to wake him up, and even helped him lower the seat.

Tang Chengxue was awakened by the sound of the guns. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was twelve o'clock: "Why didn't you call me?"

"You slept so soundly, what should I call?"

Tang Chengxue suddenly realized that he hadn't told his mother that he would not be going home at night, so he hurriedly touched his phone.Shen Jinhuan helped him adjust the seat: "I used your WeChat to tell your mother that you will not go back tonight."

Taking a deep breath, Tang Chengxue nodded: "Let's go, go out and watch the fireworks."

The place Shen Jinhuan brought him here was a manor.Lake green plants and pavilions.Although there are not many plants with leaves in winter, and the lake is covered with thin ice, it is still beautiful.

This manor is not imposing, but small and exquisite, with a hint of elegance and tranquility.

When the clock strikes twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the earth boils and the night sky revels.The fireworks bloom in an instant, eye-catching.

Tang Chengxue stood beside Shen Jinhuan, watching the beautiful fireworks.Shen Jinhuan is still like a god who does not eat fireworks, watching from the sidelines with those amber eyes.

I don't know what's going on at home.Tang Chengxue said to Shen Jinhuan: "Happy Chinese New Year."

Shen Jinhuan said: "I hope you will live forever and be happy." It was just hope.

"Eternal life, this word is too solemn." Tang Chengxue said, took out his mobile phone and sent a message of blessing to his mother and brother.

Shen Jinhuan was noncommittal.

"What is a person's life like? Shen Jin. You have lived more than ten years longer than me, so you must know more thoroughly."

Shen Jinhuan did not speak, he knew that what Tang Chengxue needed was not an answer, but company.Being by his side, without doing anything, is enough to make him feel at ease.Besides, how can he dare to say that he has a thorough understanding of life as a person who has just been in the world for less than a year.

"Maybe in my whole life, I'm not as beautiful as these fireworks. It's like crawling in the mud." Tang Chengxue sat down on the small steps next to her, "But I never gave up struggling."

"If you knew the doomed ending from the very beginning, would you still struggle?" Shen Jinhuan also sat on that small step.

Tang Chengxue thought about it seriously for a while, and then he said: "I will now, but maybe I won't think so in the future. Is it doomed to a bad ending? Shen Jin, do you believe in fate?"

Shen Jinhuan asked without answering, "What about you?"

Tang Chengxue said: "I believe it. Then will you be disappointed in me?"

"Why should you be disappointed?"

The two of them stopped talking, and looked up at the fireworks in a tacit understanding. The fireworks, which are much more gorgeous than the stars, are just fleeting.

Shen Jinhuan took Tang Chengxue into the small villa in the manor, which was actually a duplex three-bedroom apartment.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is very pleasant.

It was already late at night, Shen Jinhuan brought Tang Chengxue to the guest room, and thoughtfully prepared toothbrushes, towels and other toiletries for him, and brought a set of pajamas: "This is the pajamas I used to wear. It is cleaned regularly and can be worn."

Tang Chengxue nodded, and after taking a bath, she was lying on the spacious bed in Shen Jinhuan's loose pajamas.The whole body is filled with the smell of Shen Jinhuan.

as if hugging him...

What is Shen Jin doing?Tang Chengxue thought.He couldn't sleep, he could only toss and turn on the bed.In the end, he got up with a grunt, and knocked on Shen Jinhuan's door opposite.

Shen Jinhuan had obviously fallen asleep, a dim yellow light was on in his room.Shen Jinhuan who was awakened raised his head, his hair was disheveled and his eyes were squinted.Tang Chengxue had never seen a messy Shen Jinhuan, an exceptionally cute Shen Jinhuan.

Shen Jinhuan stood up and asked, "Can't sleep?"

Tang Chengxue nodded, watching Shen Jinhuan walk towards a cabinet and took out a bottle of essential oil.Then he half-kneeled in front of the sitting Tang Chengxue, put a few drops of essential oil on his fingertips, and gently touched Tang Chengxue's temples: "This is helpful for sleep."

"It's useless." Tang Chengxue said, "Maybe I'll fall asleep in your bed."

Shen Jinhuan smiled kindly, and Tang Chengxue lay on his back on the bed, occupying Shen Jinhuan's pillow.

More Shen Jinhuan taste.Tang Chengxue still gained a lot of weight in Shen Jinhuan's pajamas, so when he was lying on his side, his delicate collarbone just happened to protrude from the neckline, and just happened to enter Shen Jinhuan's eyes.

Is this really an annoying little fairy?

Shen Jinhuan rolled onto the bed, and then helped Tang Chengxue tuck in the quilt: "Alright, just squeeze to keep warm."

Tang Chengxue was lying facing Shen Jinhuan, reaching out to rub his hair to make it more messy: "It looks good."

The pillow was occupied by Tang Chengxue, Shen Jinhuan could only sleep on his neck, still sleepy, with a nasal voice: "Tang Cheng, be good, don't make trouble."

Xu felt more at ease with Shen Jinhuan by his side, but sleepiness also swept over Tang Chengxue after a while.

But he had nightmares.In the dream, Shen Jinhuan turned into a halo and gradually dissipated, disappearing without a trace, as if she had never appeared in this world before.
