The New Year means the return and reunion, the reunion and reunion after a long absence. The lights of thousands of homes are bright and melt into a galaxy, turning the long night into dawn. This is the brightest and warmest time of the year in Yangcheng.

In the living room, my parents were still playing mahjong with my aunt's family who had returned from the provincial capital, the TV was on, and those familiar faces were happily repeating lines that were almost the same every year.

I looked at the new photos uploaded by Tang Jibei in QQ space, and the original inch head was shaved into green skin. He covered his head with his left hand, raised his right eyebrow, tucked his chin in a black turtleneck, and smiled at the corners of his mouth that he thought was crazy and cool.

"Every year you have to be handsome to new heights!" he wrote.

I couldn't help but laugh and replied to him, "Every year, I have to go to a new level!"

The latest news in Qili Space is still two weeks ago - "The Best Gift", in the photo under the text, two worn-out basketballs are placed on the sun-stained windowsill.

I remembered the night I had been lying by her side all night a few days ago.

She finished the story for most of the night, and we were silent for a long time.

"So, is that why you didn't question him?" I asked her.

She nodded, "After the clash on the day of the parent-teacher conference, he stood on the playground until dark, but the girl didn't come, and then she transferred schools. I thought I was going to lose him, and I was even ready to be hated by him. But he didn't. During the time when I was disliked and discriminated against, he fought many times and was beaten many times to defend me. ”

She turned her head, her eyes welling up with tears, but she smiled and asked me, "Is it bloody?" ”

I shook my head, "Fate has a thousand faces, and you're just the one that has some complications. ”

"He was the only torch willing to light me in the long night, and for that alone I could care about nothing. ”

I was obviously angry, but this anger was paralyzed in my heart, and I couldn't bear to turn into harsh words. I let out a long sigh and finally said, "You're making a fool of yourself." ”

"Self-deception?" she smiled, "that's for better acceptance." If you are full of fear of any of these possibilities and deceive yourself, it is not a good choice. ”

The sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out, one after another, and I withdrew from my memories and looked at my watch, and it was zero hour.

"In the face of it, everything can start again. "I typed a line on the keyboard, but at the moment I was about to send it, I pressed delete, leaving a new line below the photo.

"New year, new atmosphere. ”

Just as I stared at the basketball in the photo, the little penguin's cough rang out one after another. A moment later, the avatars of Yu Qiuyun and Fang Chaomu flickered alternately.

I clicked on Yu Qiuyun's dialog box, "Happy New Year, what are you doing?"

"Brush the space, do you see Tang Jibei's photo? It's funny!"

I waited for a long time, but the person on the other side didn't reply. Maybe it's because there are a lot of guests at home in the New Year, and I'm busy for a while, "Happy New Year, rest early." I left a sentence and closed the dialog box.

"Happy New Year" Fang Chaomu is still always cherishing words like gold, and even punctuation marks have always been saved. I remembered the gift he had given me on my birthday and the fact that I had reserved my seat when I changed seats, and suddenly I felt that this person, although a little cold, was not unkind. In the spirit of courtesy and deed, I replied to him with a long paragraph that almost filled the dialog box.

In this good day when thousands of lights are lit up, the whole country celebrates family reunions, and firecrackers are ringing, this girl wishes you all the best in the new year, all your wishes come true, and you succeed in winning the championship.

I typed the words in one sitting, and I felt like my eyes were shining, and I was imagining him frowning and looking for broken sentences, but his dialog box flickered.

"Good"

Sure enough. I rolled my eyes at the screen, this kind of resentment is like you thinking of a joke in your stomach, and the other party only said "oh" with a blank face, and didn't even bother to cooperate with a fake smile.

I viciously closed the dialog, leaned back in my chair and rubbed my eyes, listening to the sound of fireworks going off outside the window. I suddenly remembered that the original meaning of the New Year is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the beginning of all things.

Tang Jibei's green head flashed in his mind, the basketball on the windowsill in Qili, Fang Chaomu's blessing that cherished words like gold, Yu Qiuyun's unfinished greetings, and Shan Shan, who was more than ten kilometers away and had not opened QQ, didn't know what she was doing at the moment.

In the past few months, I didn't feel very special when I first met these people, but I unconsciously walked through each other's sunrises and sunsets, and also tasted each other's joys and sorrows.

I stand at this moment, unable to see the length of these fates, not knowing whether they will accompany me through a long life, or if they will come to an abrupt end at some point in the future.

But I'm not afraid.

Because life itself is a process of ushering in and sending to, what we have to do is to accompany the shadow left by the old time, and turn all strangeness into familiarity.

In the first four days of the new year, I spent the sound of mahjong from my parents and the repeated re-watching of the Spring Festival Gala.

I can almost memorize almost every line of the sketch, and I haven't missed even the blessings sent by the embassies in various countries.

I stared at the TV with dull eyes, and I longed to go back to my childhood through the time and space tunnel, and told myself at that time to cherish the lively and beautiful Spring Festival time now, because you can't imagine that in your Spring Festival more than ten years later, there is neither New Year's money nor excitement at all.

Finally, on the evening of the fourth day, an invitation from Qi Li saved my soul, which I was about to wither.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I stood at the foot of the rising sun, looking up at the top of the mountain covered with xia flags, and couldn't help but open my arms and exhale a long breath: "Ah! It's good to come out!"

Qi Li stood beside me with his hands in his hands, glared at me with squinted eyes, and said, "Come out, how long have you been locked up?" I didn't say you, you are really not lightly ill! Go to my house at six o'clock in the morning and pick me up...... Yes, I asked you to come out and climb the mountain, but who told you to come to climb the mountain at seven o'clock?

I grinned at her, "Life is about tossing!"

Qi Li was like a Buddha statue, standing still, "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" I was confused.

She didn't speak, but turned her back and stared in the direction we had come.

The sky was already full of light, and from a distance, light smoke began to rise from the chimney of the temple on the mountainside. In the morning, I thought about climbing the mountain, so I picked up light and comfortable clothes to wear, and now I was shivering from the cold, and I just hoped to move quickly to get some heat.

But Qi Li turned his back to the direction of the mountain road and refused to move. I had to hold my hands and stomp my feet.

"What are you waiting for?" I asked.

"Wait. Qi Li replied to the question. I secretly sighed in my heart that this woman was too fond of holding grudges, and wanted to torture me like this in order to make her wake up early for such a trivial matter.

I sighed, and sure enough, the woman couldn't be messed with.

"It's coming. I was feeling emotional, but Qi Li suddenly stood up straight, his chin held high, and his expression was serious and inviolable.

I followed her gaze and saw only a figure walking towards us in the distance.

"Who?, Lin Suhao?" I squinted to see clearly.

"You're right. Qi Li didn't answer, but said something that didn't answer up and down.

"What did I say?" I was confused by her words, "Could it be that you can hear what I just scolded you in my heart?"

"You're right," a confident smile tugged at her lips, "for the new year, everything from the past, good and bad, should be made clear." ”

I muttered to myself and rolled my eyes. When we turned our heads, someone in the distance had walked in and stopped three steps away.

"Long time no see, Qi Li. ”

It was a girl who came, wearing a pink jacket and stepping on a pair of sneakers that were whitewashed to the point of shiny. Her long hair fell over her shoulders and was half-tied behind her head.

The morning breeze blew away the bangs on her forehead, revealing two neatly trimmed eyebrows, and below them were two bright eyes, although the waves were sparkling and smiling, the blade-like hostility still could not hide half a point.

I looked at the girl in front of me who seemed to be unkind, and I always felt that this person was familiar with her qualifications and appearance.

"You too. Long time no see, Yao Chunhe. Qi Li's eyes were bright, and he smiled at the people.

There is a clear sword and sword shadow between these two people, but for some reason their faces are full of wind and sunshine. I was wondering when suddenly a flash of carbide fire occurred in my mind, and I suddenly thought about why this face was so familiar.

This person is clearly the girl who was hugged in Lin Suhao's arms that night!
