Winter in T City always snows, wrapping the whole city in a layer of silver.

She glanced out the window, the snow seemed to be a little lighter, for convenience, she stepped on snow boots, wrapped in a down jacket, and took a thick scarf around her neck, and went out without even bringing a bag.

Coming out of the supermarket, the snow was still falling, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated where no one was walking, which was obviously a cut above the place where there were always people walking in the middle of the road. She looked at it, and still chose to walk on the road that people had already stepped on, as the year approached, there were many people coming and going, the snow had been trampled very solidly, and the frozen places were particularly slippery.

She slowed down, pressing the placket of her down jacket with one hand and carrying a plastic bag with the other, looking down at the road beneath her feet.

Walking to the corner, maybe it was the snow that had melted before, a large surface of ice looked very slippery, she stretched out her foot and tried it, and looked left and right again, there was no other way to go, hesitated, or stepped on it, sure enough, she didn't take two steps to slip, and the moment she tilted her body, a hand grabbed her arm.

She stood firm, turned her face, and said "thank you" with only one word to see the familiar and unfamiliar face that was close at hand.

The black cropped down jacket, tan scarf and beanie hat make Cheng Shuo look like a college student who hasn't graduated yet. Just when she was stunned, he had already taken the plastic bag in her hand very naturally, and the hand holding her arm also moved to her wrist, only one sentence: "The road is slippery, go slowly." ”

He didn't shake off his hand, nor did he speak, and the two of them walked slowly and step by step, and neither of them spoke again, and the long snow-covered road was very similar to the college road in front of the former school.

At the last intersection, she stopped first, she raised her arm but did not break free of Cheng Shuo's hand, he also stopped because of this action, and the subconsciously tightened hand immediately let go, she hugged her arms, bowed her head slightly, and whispered: "That's it." ”

She took a step forward and came back to her senses, reaching for her things, never looking at him.

He stood there, watching her go farther and farther step by step, she was thinner than he remembered under the loose down jacket, he had never had such a strong sense of loss, he just watched her step by step out of his world, disappearing from his sight, not even having the courage to reach out and grab it.

Once, he endured a strong longing and did not go to see her, and did not contact her.

Once, he leaned against the door and clenched his hands tightly, telling himself that he couldn't turn back.

Once, he desperately wanted to chase her back, but was stopped by that phone call.

Once, he stood at the gate of the school that had waited for her countless times, but he could only look at it from a distance.

Once, he missed it over and over again in the most difficult days in a foreign land.

But those who had never made him feel such a real loss, such a complete loss, the Zhuan that once belonged to him alone, had let go of his hand, and he was gradually moving away, the pace was slow, but it was extremely firm.

In the winter exam, because he didn't want to change his clothes, he put the exam clothes directly on his body, wrapped a thick half-sized down jacket outside, put on snow boots and put high heels in his bag and brought them over.

The exam was very large, and the heater was turned on enough, but there was no way to raise the temperature of the whole venue in a short period of time, so she took off her down jacket and moved briefly offstage to warm herself up. She didn't wear a dress that day, the black pants were the style of fat legs, and she wore a pair of black snow boots underneath, and a quarter of the trouser legs were in the boots, like a Peking Opera actor, Qu Fei also laughed at her for looking like Wu Song beating a tiger.

She packed up her things after the exam and saw the message sent by Cheng Shuo on her mobile phone, and only gave a temporary notice before the exam to change the place of the exam, he didn't know, she didn't expect him to come over at that time, put on a down jacket and ran out, after finding him, she felt that her feet were so cold, she looked down and saw that she came out in a hurry, and she was wearing high heels for the exam, which were a pair of single shoes, and it was very cold to step on in the snow.

He knew that she was afraid of the cold, and he felt distressed to see her stomping her feet, but she didn't care, in fact, her feet were about to lose consciousness.

Now, she could leave him and stride forward.

Time has taken away too many things.

Cheng Shuo stood there for a long time, he inquired about where she lived, but he didn't expect to see her in real time, because even he didn't know why he came. It has been a few months since he returned to China, and he has always been filled with all kinds of work, but he knows that even without those jobs, he doesn't dare to think about anything, she doesn't belong to him anymore.

What did he do? Ask her if she hated him, or if she could forgive herself? He didn't know.

He returned to his residence, put down the things in his hand, and unconsciously touched the wrist that had been pulled by Cheng Shuo just now, such a temperature, and that familiar smell.

She should have been ruthless, she should have asked him, she should have hated him, she should have done everything, but she shouldn't have done anything, but in the end, she didn't do anything.

She stood there for a long time, and finally lowered her hand, reached out to take off her coat, and began to pack up what she had just bought.

She was the only one in the empty house, and she originally thought that she was going to spend the New Year in the crew again, which was nothing new to her, and she didn't have any worries and expectations, so it didn't matter where she spent this Spring Festival. It's just that the plan to promise Ran Ning to go to the UK to see her fell through, she called early in the morning to tell Ran Ning that she couldn't go, and then asked Aunt Fang to go home early to reunite with her relatives, and even Lulu had already booked today's ticket to go home.

However, the plan can't catch up with the changes, her cameo role was before the Spring Festival, to be exact, it was completed yesterday, and the assistant director Qi Ge happily told her that she could go home for the New Year with peace of mind, and she could only cry and laugh to express her gratitude. At this time, where did she book a plane ticket to fly to London? Just thinking about it for a while, she dismissed her plan to go to Ran Ning, and prepared to survive this Spring Festival alone.

Lulu got up early in the morning and set out on the way home as planned, she was the only one left in the lively house on weekdays, she was used to being quiet, but the house was so big that it couldn't help but seem a little empty.

She read books alone for most of the day, didn't even eat lunch, and only got up and moved in the afternoon, and after thinking about it, she decided that she should go out to buy something and come back to stock, there was plenty of time, and she happened to walk alone, but she didn't expect to meet him.

In the past few months, she has actually been running away. From the MV, she knew he was back. But what are she going to do? She has been on this road for so long, she has never been sure what she wants, she has never thought whether he will come back, she has not thought about whether she will meet him again in her lifetime, to be exact, she has been running away from her old life for the past three years, she is like an ostrich, knowing that she can't escape anything, but she still buries her head in the soil like a thief.

She stood for a while before putting everything she had bought, and just as she didn't know what to do next, she heard the door open, and when she turned around, she saw Lulu dragging her suitcase into the door.

"Surprise, is there a surprise?" Lulu asked aloud as she reached out and compared her face to a flower.

She stood there a little overwhelmed, she really didn't understand how Lulu, who was already supposed to be on the plane, could come back.

Lulu said while taking off her coat and shoes: "I was depressed when I saw the crowd at the airport, this is just a plane, there are trains and cars behind me, I feel scared when I think about it, I can't stay for a few days anyway, so I just come back again." ”

She knew that Lulu had never been a person who was afraid of trouble, and Sister Qiao had already said that she had no job during the Spring Festival this year, and she could take a few more days off to spend the Spring Festival at home with her family, so she came back, but she didn't want to spend the Spring Festival alone.

She was not unmoved in her heart, but she knew that Lulu would not admit it, she was most afraid of sensationalism, once a thank you she had at the award ceremony had made her cry, she always said that it was her greatest luck to meet Zhuan and Sister Qiao, but for Zhu Zhuanxin, wouldn't it be a huge luck to meet her?

She walked over to help her drag her suitcase in, and found that it was much lighter, and the big and small bags of gifts in the morning were gone, and asked, "You brought the gifts-"

"Send it back! It's so heavy, I don't want to carry it back, anyway, they're used to me being outside, and they'll be happy to receive the gift!" Lulu took the words with a big grin, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

He nodded and said, "I just went out to buy something, do you want to eat a cake?"

"You went out shopping on your own? Did you get recognized? You wouldn't go out like this, would you?"

"No, everyone was in a hurry, and no one paid attention to me. ”

She turned around and went to the refrigerator to get two pieces of cake, giving Lulu the matcha flavor she likes to eat on weekdays, and the two of them sat down to eat, Lulu suddenly asked, "You won't have eaten since I left, right?"

She didn't speak, Lulu knew her very well, and sure enough, she would do everything if she wasn't there, so she felt that it was the right choice for her to come back, otherwise I don't know if she would starve to death at home after the Spring Festival.

With Lulu, the days immediately became much more vivid. Since the day Lulu started working as Lulu's assistant, she has become accustomed to getting along day and night, and with Lulu by her side, she is much happier.

From the day she started working as an assistant, Lulu was almost inseparable from her, accompanying her to work and live, accompanying her in the cold and heat to shuttle through various difficult conditions for filming, accompanying her to run around and tell me that she couldn't remember the time, they ate together, lived together, worked together, lived together, and they were used to having each other by their side.

Lulu who loves gossip, Lulu who loves to chat, and Lulu who loves to get to the bottom of things, but she doesn't ask a word about any topic that she doesn't want to mention, she only knows how to look at everything in this world, as long as she finds that she doesn't want to say anything, Lulu can never mention it again.

Artist assistant is not an easy job, it is hard work that is comparable to hard labor. Lulu had also worked with a few artists before, and she suffered a lot, until she met Jolene and Zhu Zhuanxin, and the days became brighter. Off-camera, she doesn't look like a popular star at all, low-key and easy-going, and there is no arrogance, there are many artists in this circle who are very good to their assistants, Lulu is very content to follow her back, even if the notice runs to the point of breaking her leg, and the filming conditions are difficult, she will always be by her side.

There are not a few days left before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lulu is buying New Year's goods, cleaning the room, and preparing for the New Year according to the customs of her hometown.

Jolene would call her every day, and when she learned that Lulu was back, with her by her side, Jolene was visibly relieved.

Finally in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lulu made a lot of calls and couldn't book a restaurant to eat, and finally decided to give up, full of frustration, "I originally wanted to eat a big meal, but now it seems hopeless, Aunt Fang is not there, are we going to eat fast food?"

She has never cared about eating, so she is naturally not as disappointed as Lulu.

When the doorbell rang, Lulu was surprised, "Did Santa Claus come to the Chinese New Year?

Lulu rushed over to open the door, and it was Jolene outside the door.

Jolene was carrying two large bags of things, and when she saw Lulu standing still in the doorway, she asked, "How long are you going to let me stand here?"

Lulu came back to her senses and quickly reached for the bag in Jolene's hand, and came over to hear the noise.

Qiao Lin sat down and took a breath, "Aunt Fang is not here, it's chaotic." ”

Lulu ran over and said with a smile, "So you're here to save us?"

Before Jolene could speak, the doorbell rang again, and she motioned for Lulu to open the door, "It's coming pretty quickly." ”

Lulu watched the delivery staff put the packaged meals on the table, it turned out to be the restaurant they frequented, his family had no delivery business, not to mention that on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lulu's mouth could not close.

Closing the door, she shouted, "Sister Qiao, you are really omnipotent!"

Jolene stayed with them for a while to leave just before the New Year's bell rang, and her parents were still at home waiting for her to go back to eat dumplings.

She watched her get into the car, and then looked back at Lulu who was picking fruit to eat, the corners of her mouth rose, this happiness, no one could experience.

Such a seemingly ordinary Spring Festival is the best thing that Cheng Shuo can think of when he left Ran Ning and was abroad.

She sat back on the couch and ate and watched TV with Lulu, and even the sound of firecrackers outside the window was no longer so harsh. There is more to lose, less to look forward to, as long as a little satisfaction can make her happy for a long time.

When Jolene returned, she gave a gift to Lulu.

She didn't take it out, she just looked down and asked, "Why did you give me this?"

"When a girl reaches a certain age, she should have a ring that belongs to her but is not given by her lover, it represents love outside of love. I'm older than you and your friend, so I'm qualified to send you. ”

She understood Jolene's intentions, and gently took it out and put it on the middle finger of her right hand, just the right size. In fact, her fingers are a little more slender than the average girl, and Jolene is so careful that she even knows what size ring she wears.

She looked up and smiled, "Thank you, I love it." ”

Jolene just laughed and didn't say anything.

She rarely wears any jewelry, she doesn't have pierced ears, she doesn't wear any necklaces, bracelets, rings, she never wears any jewelry if it's not for work, and she doesn't even wear jewelry in her hair. The red rope that the man had tied to her ankle with his own hands was no longer able to wear it after that car accident.

Lying on the bed before going to bed, probably because she didn't have the habit of wearing things, she always felt that her fingers were awkward, so she stretched out her hand to look at the small ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

On her 19th birthday, Ran Rong gave her a very small silver ring. Legend has it that a girl who receives a silver ring representing purity on her 19th birthday will be happy for the rest of her life. It was the first time in her life that she received a gift of jewelry, and she liked it very much, but it was usually inconvenient to play the piano, so she rarely wore it, and she kept it in the box very carefully.

Unlike her, on Ran Ning's 19th birthday a few months later, Ran Rong gave her an identical silver ring, and since that day, she has never taken it off her hand. At the beginning, Ran Ning liked her ring very much, and wanted to borrow it to wear, but it was too thin for her to wear it, but she didn't expect that her sister had already prepared an identical ring for her and gave it to her on her 19th birthday.

She still remembers that on the day of Ran Rong's funeral, she reached out to hold Ran Ning's cold right hand, and the silver ring on her middle finger that was no longer new reached the bottom of her heart, and the scar of that ring will always remain on the hearts of the two.

Now Ran Rong, who gave her the silver ring, is no longer there, and the small red ring box is still well stored by her.

She made herself very comfortable on the soft quilt, gently closed her right hand, covered it with her left hand, and brought her hand close to her chest.
