It was 7 o'clock in the evening when I came out of the tea house, and the snow had stopped, but the thick snow on the streets was still there, as if to prove that the world had been there, and all kinds of lights were reflected in the shops on both sides of the road.

On the shop window panes, there are things of the same element pasted on them.

That's the format decals and posters that symbolize the arrival of Christmas.

"It's Christmas again. Walking on the crowded streets, Yan Qi couldn't help but look around at the dazzling array of shops on both sides, thinking in his heart that this year was going to pass again.

Spending a year like this is how many days like this are left.

Light...

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Can this really be considered bland.

"Why don't we buy a tree and go back?" Bai Ran asked, staring at the big Christmas tree in a clothing store.

"Why are you buying that, we're not foreigners, it's not our holiday. But suddenly, he felt that this sentence didn't seem quite right to Bai Ran.

So he glanced at Bai Ran slightly, and sure enough, the other party was also looking at him.

"I'm not human, so I can choose it, or I can choose it, right?" Looking at Bai Ran's serious expression, Yan Qi was a little speechless, but thinking about it carefully, what she said was right, she wasn't even a human at all, so why bother with which country's festival she had...

"Okay, let's get over it. After speaking, Yan Qi rummaged through his pocket for a long time, and finally found a mint candy that he didn't know how long he had been carrying.

"Merry Christmas. With that, he threw the candy to Bai Ran casually.

Bai Ran took the candy, stared at it for two seconds, and glanced at Yan Qi with disdain.

"Last Christmas, Treber took me to pizza. ”

Yan Qi pretended not to hear, and walked straight forward with his hands in his pockets.

"The year before last, it was Sister Chang, and she let me eat my own hot pot in their shop. ”

Bai Ran didn't give up, and kept chattering behind him.

"And then before..."Speaking of Christmas three years ago, she seemed to remember something... Suddenly stopped talking.

Looking at Yan Qi again, he also stopped... Facing Bai Ran with his back.

It was still early in the morning, and the streets were still full of people, and the two suddenly stood down on the street, causing many people to bypass them dissatisfiedly, and they did not forget to throw them a contemptuous look before leaving.

If the little couple wants to have a conflict, don't be on the street...

I guess many people have this mentality.

"I..."Bai Ran knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and he was also a little nervous.

But Yan Qi suddenly took a deep breath, then shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to Bai Ran and said.

"Let's go. He smiled slightly at Bai Ran.

This surprised Bai Ran extremely much, this... It's not like he used to be...

Remember... It seemed impossible for him to laugh at himself before, and if he said something like this, he would definitely make him angry...

"I'm sorry..."Although Yan Qi didn't seem to be very angry, Bai Ran was still a little scared...

"Do you still want to spend Christmas?"

When Bai Ran heard this, he raised his head with some confusion and looked at Yan Qi.

"I'll take you to a good meal. With that, Yan Qi raised his head and gave a signal to move forward, then stopped looking at Bai Ran, turned around and walked forward.

Bai Ran was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately trotted to follow, Yan Qi seemed to have really changed, he really... Did you come out of two terrible encounters?

Of course not...

Yan Qi has not forgotten three years ago, let alone ten years ago... But he matured... has also grown, and he already knows that he can no longer forcibly impose these faults on Bai Ran...

Although I may still have a lot of mustard for her, but... When I was the loneliest, I always had only that petite figure by my side.

With this in mind, Yan Qi walked to the door of a store and stood down.

Bai Ran raised his head and looked at the name of the store.

“... This is?"

looked at the very cold little red signboard, with five big bold characters written on it.

"Nameless snack house. ”

Yan Qi had already walked up the steps, looked at Bai Ran still stunned, and waved at her.

"Why are you stunned, it's so cold, come in. Then he went headlong into the cramped shop.

Bai Ran originally fantasized about being able to have a hearty pizza feast like last year, or a hot pot... But this...

However, it was better than nothing, so after a moment of hesitation, she followed into the store.

The whole store decoration can be described as miserable, the aisle is very narrow, almost can't fit two tables, so in the middle of the aisle, there is a small square table with low legs, even the stool, it is the kind of low stool...

The overhead lamp is a very old incandescent lamp.

Looking at the dim light, I don't know how low the wattage is.

Yan Qi sat directly on the low stool, kept rubbing his hands, and sighed.

Bai Ran had no choice but to go over and sit opposite him.

There are only two tables in the whole store, and there are no other customers except for the two of them, which is a bit exaggerated to describe as deserted, and it looks like it is going to go out of business.

"Lao Yang! Where is the death! The guests don't come out to receive them! Just this attitude! You still open a store!" Yan Qi sat down for a long time to see that no one had come to greet him, and shouted towards a small room in the store with his throat in his voice.

"What the hell are you going to starve to death?Why are you shouting if you don't starve!?" A rough voice came from the back room, and then a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters slammed the door directly with a kitchen knife.

The shop was too small, and there were no other customers, so the strong man saw Yan Qi at a glance.

"Yo, it's your grandson. The moment he saw Yan Qi, although his words were still very ugly, he could feel that his attitude had eased, and then he glanced at Bai Ran opposite Yan Qi.

"Eh, is this... Your girlfriend? Fuck, grandma's... How did you get such a good-looking mother-in-law!?" The strong man squinted his eyes and stared straight at Bai Ran, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Look the fuck closely, who she is. Yan Qi waved his hand impatiently.

The strong man walked in front of the two of them, and when he heard Yan Qi say this, he took a closer look at Bai Ran's face again.

Then there was an even louder roar.

"Oh my god!" he slashed the kitchen knife on the square table in front of them, and then put his hands on his waist and laughed heartily.

"Why does it look better the longer it gets! I don't recognize Lao Yang at all!"

"You don't talk nonsense, damn it, she hasn't grown much at all, why are your eyes getting worse and worse?!" Yan Qi slapped the table and continued to yell.

"Hurry up! Serve me some food, and then some white food, Lao Tzu is here to accompany you today. ”

"Accompany Lao Tzu to chat, you just want to come and eat Lao Tzu's white food, but I haven't seen you for so long, it's okay, you wait, I'll get a few dishes." With that, the strong man grabbed the handle of the kitchen knife, slammed the kitchen knife up again, and then turned around and walked back to the back room.

“... Who?" Bai Ran looked at this strong man inexplicably throughout the whole process, looking at him like that, as if he knew himself...

"Yang Xiu, my high school classmate, how many times have you met, the one you like to compete with me the most. Yan Qi took out a box of Marlboro and looked towards the back room.

“... Chicken ribs?" Bai Ran suddenly said the word, Yan Qi was stunned, and then suddenly burst out laughing. "Yes, it's that chicken rib, do you remember his nickname?"

Bai Ran just had a vague impression... In my impression, this is a tall, somewhat silly sturdy kid, indeed, he seems to like to compete with Yan Qi the most, and... I've said strange things to myself, but... I really can't remember what Bai Ran is.

"I also recently learned that his kid went to this street to open a food stall, uh... Don't look at me like that, you're not there the few times I've come to eat, really. Lighting the cigarette, Yan Qi took a deep breath.

He looked around at the layout of the shop and sighed helplessly.

"This Yang Dasha, it's not very good. ”

After a while, Yang Xiu came out of the back room, and his kitchen seemed to be located in the back room.

I saw him enter and leave the kitchen three times in a hurry, and brought out several extremely delicate dishes, such as fried fat sausages in sauce, fried prawns, fried anchovies, husband and wife lung slices, and sauerkraut fish.

In addition, there are two plates of boiled peanuts, one box of pure raw.

Wow, this stance... It seems that I can't wait to show off all the skills I've learned.

Looking at this table of dishes, Yan Qi's mouth grew wide, and the cigarette fell to the ground.

"What are you doing! Pick it up for Lao Tzu! Don't litter!" Seeing the cigarette butts that Yan Qi had dropped on the ground, Yang Xiu roared angrily.

Yan Qi was startled by this roar, and immediately picked up the cigarette butt, and then seemed to feel that something was wrong, and slammed the table.

"Fuck you, how many times have I been here!What are you going to eat for me!?What are you going to eat for me?!Why are you here this time, just like your mom and dad are here!?"

"Nonsense, every time you come, do you give money?"

This Yang Xiu completely ignored Yan Qi's protest, he looked at Bai Ran with a smile, and then brought a chair over, and was just about to sit down, as if he remembered something again, ran to the door of the store, and pulled the shutter door down with a bang.

"As for it?" Yan Qi sneered. "No one is coming anyway, you leave the door open, and it's a little more breathable. ”

Yang Xiu glared at him, returned to his seat and sat down, he opened a bottle of beer, and then gently put a bottle of soy milk and a pair of chopsticks next to Bai Ran with a smile, and said in an extremely gentle voice.

"Xiaobai, whatever you want to eat, I can do it, you say it. ”

Looking at these actions of Yang Xiu, a strong man, Yan Qi was completely stunned, and he suddenly remembered... When I was in high school, the biggest purpose of this product was to compete with myself... It seems that he just wants to perform in front of Bai Ran.

Although Bai Ran did not go to school at that time, but was investigating something alone, she was often entrusted by Cui Jianming to visit Yan Qi in the fully closed school as her sister.

So naturally, he often met with Yang Xiu, Yan Qi's roommate, sworn friend and rival.

And this Yang Xiu... It seems like...

Thinking of this, Yan Qi suddenly wanted to laugh, wouldn't this thing still like Bai Ran until now, right?
