The moon pounced and handed over all the weight of her body to the man on the other side with peace of mind.

Embraced into her arms, she only felt that her cold body, the blood that had stopped flowing, woke up in an instant, like a small snake in early spring driving away the cold of a winter, and slowly slipped out of the hibernating nest.

After a long time, Lin Zijin let go of the moon and put on a hat, scarf and gloves for her in turn. They are all smoky gray wool texture, which makes her love it, especially the scarf, which is large and wide, and is worn around the neck, like the warmth of Lin Zijin's broad shoulders when he embraces her.

"Zijin, can you do magic?" Just now, she obviously noticed that his hands were empty.

"Xiao Qi, I won't. I won't say that I'm willing to learn such a lie to deceive you for your sake. I just want to be by your side and give you the most genuine warmth. ”

Looking at each other and smiling, she took his arm and returned home.

When he opened the refrigerator, Lin Zijin was worried: there was a bag of dumplings, half a bag of rice balls and a bag of instant noodles lying alone in the huge refrigerator, which was the untimely need that the moon prepared for himself.

"Little Seven, let's go out to eat, after all, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve and the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"No! Zigen, it doesn't matter what I eat, the key is that I can be with you on Chinese New Year's Eve, have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and I will be content." ”

Unable to resist her stubbornness, Lin Zijin mixed them together and cooked them.

There is no shortage of wine and red wine in her family. The two men finished their work and sat down to enjoy their fruits.

"Happy New Year, Xiaoqi!"

"Happy New Year, Zijin!"

Raising the wine glass, the moon swept the man opposite with the corner of his eye, and the appearance of his drinking can only be described by an idiom--- "the clouds are light and the wind is light", as if the cup is not filled with red wine but cola, most people who dare to drink like this have some skills.

On the table is their dinner, a pot of messy cooking, strange taste, sweet and glutinous black sesame rice balls, salty and fresh pork and celery dumplings, spicy braised beef noodles, all together, rich layers and textures are not acceptable to everyone.

While eating, Moon couldn't help but be curious, and while opening her mouth to chew the piping hot sesame rice balls, she asked, "Zijin, which of these three flavors do you prefer, sweet, salty, and spicy?"

Lin Zijin picked a bunch of chopsticks and stopped in mid-air, lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds before asking with a smile: "What about you?"

Regardless of his dodging of her own questions, she happily replied to the answer she had prepared: "I like the sweetness of the rice balls the most, which can cover up all the bitterness." ”

In fact, only she knows: such a peculiar dinner, like her mood at the moment, ups and downs, mixed tastes, intertwined in her heart, hidden in her eyes.

After the meal, the two drove to a fireworks shop.

He got out of the car, and when he returned, there were six more boxes of fireworks in the trunk, and the two of them came to the square and set them off.

Fireworks burst in front of their eyes, and they chatted in the cold air.

"Xiao Qi, do you like fireworks?"

"Who doesn't like it? Just like diamonds and jewelry, what woman doesn't like beautiful things, everybody wants to admire, everyone wants to have. Although the fireworks are only short-lived, they are as beautiful as a dream. Aren't people loving it precisely because of its ephemerality and beauty?"

"Yes, for the beauty of that moment, many people spend their lives chasing it. It's like love, especially first love. ”

"Zijin, am I your first love?"

"What do you say?"

Lin Zijin didn't answer directly, but he smiled, and continued to enjoy the fireworks in front of him after the flowers rose into the air rapidly, and the sound of "bang" bloomed into colorful colors, depicting a circle that was big and small.

"When I was a child, the most anticipated part of the year was the Chinese New Year, and I began to wait for it from the wax moon. Now I am more and more afraid of the New Year. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's a year older. ”

"Xiao Qi, how can you embarrass others by saying this? How old are you that you are starting to grow old?"

"I've heard that when a person loves memories more and more, it means that she is old. I'm now reminiscing about my childhood. ”

"Xiao Qi, when we were young, we were all brave and fearless, looking forward to growing up quickly and becoming the adults we imagined, with infinite scenery. ”

"Well, when I was a child, I was naughty and always liked to walk around in my mother's high heels, and it felt like I was an adult like my mother, and I had grown up. At that time, the future in our eyes was always rosy, and our heads were full of unrealistic fantasies. For example, when I was in elementary school, I heard that Peking University and Tsinghua University were the highest universities, so I decided to be admitted. Slowly, I found myself drifting farther and farther away from my ideals until I entered high school and became completely disillusioned. At that time, I began to realize that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up with the original dream, and it was reduced to an unattainable dream, or a pipe dream. So, I studied hard, lowered my goals, and began to aim for second-tier key universities. In the end, the reality made me lose more and more, and the fact is that I just went to a major university, and it is no longer the one I longed for back then. ”

"This is life, which makes us more and more realistic, closer and closer to the earth, instead of floating in unrealistic mid-air. ”

However, in the process, we have already lost our original intention and lost ourselves. Now we have long lost the original fearlessness and bravery, and we are always afraid of the wolf before doing things, and we are afraid of the wolf and the tiger. Many times, after much deliberation, we finally give up, and our imagination and words are far more than actual actions. ”

"Xiao Qi, it's not that we have lost our original intention, it's just that we have become wiser and more mature, learned to think, and learned to be calm. In fact, we still have a fiery heart, never forgetting the original intention and not changing our innocence. ”

Hehe....... Moon smiled bitterly, he didn't understand her pain and hesitation.

"Being a child is the happiest, carefree! When I was a child, I was happiest in the New Year. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, we went door-to-door with our friends with lanterns, saying auspicious blessings, a few sugars, a fruit, and a handful of nuts, filling our small pockets and returning with happiness. To this day, I still remember the papier-mâché lantern, with the red exterior wrapped in the candle lit in the center, and the wooden pole as we walked, the faint candlelight flickering...... Such a simple lantern, such a simple happiness, flows with the time of our childhood, until it disappears in the sky. ”

"Huh...... Your description is very graphic, and I can even imagine a little girl wearing pigtails and stubbornness. ”

"When I was a kid, I would worry about when I would get new clothes. The friends have quietly changed into this season's popular clothes on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the old mother stubbornly insists on her own opinion, and must be worn on the morning of the first day of the new year. At that time, I hated my mother's stubbornness, and there was no difference between Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and in the eyes of children, they all belonged to the category of New Year. ”

Lin Zijin followed with a light smile, but the moon in his eyes understood: No wonder you are so stubborn, I see, I understand.

It's just that she doesn't have the extra mind to take care of his gaze and ridicule, and she is still immersed in her own memories, tonight, a different kind of longing erodes her heart.

"Mom's rules are very numerous, Chinese New Year's Eve the whole fish on the dinner table can't move chopsticks, must be kept until the New Year, meaning "more than every year" ......"

Unconsciously, the moon's tone revealed sadness, and Lin Zijin, who noticed something unusual, changed the topic.

"Xiao Qi, I can accompany you to celebrate the New Year this year. In my hometown, there is a tradition of keeping the New Year, whether adults or children get together as a family, watch TV and chat, waiting for the clock to ring at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, that moment is particularly sacred and beautiful. I have been looking forward to meeting a woman who understands me and loves me in the vast sea of people, and snuggling quietly with her to spend such a warm moment, I am lucky to have this wish come true this year, because I met you!

The moon and Lin Zigen chatted like this, forgetting the cold of the winter night and the excitement of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

"It's a bustling city, but it's cold. Unlike my hometown, the sound of firecrackers is an indispensable tradition. On the morning of the first day of the new year, we would go door-to-door to say "Happy New Year" to each other. When I was a child, my dad told us about the origin of "Nian", have you heard of it?"

"No, why don't you come and hear it?"

"Once upon a time, legend has it that Nian was a monster that was ferocious and ate the living. Later, the wise ancestors invented firecrackers and red couplets to drive the "year" away. The next day, when everyone met each other and saw each other, they would say "Happy New Year" to congratulate each other on being alive. ”

It turns out that the "year" that we thought of as a happy reunion was once a fierce monster. ”

Lin Zijin stretched out his hand to grab the moon.

"Xiao Qi, let me protect you tonight! Let me spend every New Year with you in the future!"

The two snuggled together quietly, enjoying a rare quiet time.
