Chapter 36: The Winter Solstice
Later, Xu Yang met Su Yinian in front of the coffee house near the school, at that time it was already dark, the street lights were on, and the people on the street were becoming more and more lively, even if there were so many people, she still recognized Su Yinnian standing under the tree and playing with his mobile phone at a glance.
Tall and thin, slender legs naturally rested against the trunk, and the long bangs grew again to cover the eyes.
Xu Yang walked over and patted him on the shoulder, Su Yinian looked at Xu Yang blankly, but saw her smiling, and her bright eyes smiled into a crooked crescent: "Su Yinian, I found you." At that moment, Su Yinian seemed to be a little flustered, looking at her a little distracted, it took him a long time before he reacted and put his phone up: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”
"It's my birthday today! You promised you to celebrate my birthday with me. Before, Su Yinian thought about it, his promise was nothing more than to deal with the things at that time, and if it was perfunctory, since it was perfunctory, he didn't need to be too responsible.
"I don't remember saying that," he said. She shook her head, looking calm and unangry: "It's okay, I remember." ”
"Then I didn't prepare a birthday present."
"I don't need to."
"I don't have any money, so I can't invite you to dinner."
"I have money." Su Yinian looked at her answer, his eyes trembled slightly, how could he make Xu Yang like this, he was originally a person who had nothing, a person who was not loved, and a person who should not appear in this world, but why did Xu Yang care so much about him.
He raised his hand and pinned the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, her appearance was a little gentle, Xu Yang's heart fluttered, Su Yinian had never been so gentle to her.
Xu was aware of his abrupt move, he withdrew his hand and put it in the pocket of his clothes, and looked away: "You remember, it was you who begged me to accompany you for your birthday, not that I had to go." When Xu Yang heard this, he was in a good mood and followed him: "En, I begged you." Su Yinian glanced at her, and felt a little warm in his heart: "Why do you like me?" He seemed to be talking to himself.
But Xu Yang thought she was asking her, she said, "Do you still need a reason to like someone?" I like you as naturally as I was born to breathe, you are my oxygen. Su Yinian didn't expect her to respond to herself, nor did she expect that she was so important in Xu Yang's heart, oxygen, the existence of other people's oxygen, no one has ever looked up to him so highly, including himself.
"But I probably don't like you that much." He said he didn't notice that his tone had changed somewhat, from tough to gentle, and that he wasn't condescending when he spoke to her.
"I don't like it that much, that means I still like it a little bit, you hated me before, is this my progress? If this can make you like me a little bit, then if I work harder, you will like me a little more, until finally it becomes love. Xu Yang didn't seem to care about Su Yinian's hesitation and wandering at all, even if he really didn't like her, at this time, she wouldn't leave crying.
If it's just a second longer to be with him, she'll try her best to hold on to it.
"Even if it's going to be tough, you're not going to give up?" Su Yinian asked.
"Don't give up, unless you meet someone who loves you more than me, and you happen to like her a little more than me, I will give up, otherwise even if you become an old lady, I will pester you." Su Yinian suddenly laughed and knocked on her head: "You are really annoying." ”
"I'm just pestering you!" Xu Yang naturally grabbed his arm and grabbed it, and then smiled at him: "Won't this be like a couple." ”
"But we're not!"
"Sooner or later, we will be husband and wife, and it will be okay to be my boyfriend once tonight." Sometimes he really can't stand Xu Yang's cheerful personality, as if he has no troubles, if Su Yinian is ice, it is also everyone's favorite ice cream, and Xu Yang is a hot pot that every foodie likes, the two of them together are like ice and fire intersecting, colliding with a surprising spark.
That night, Qiu Ci was lying in bed reading a novel, and suddenly the mobile phone rang and scared her, so she hurriedly answered the phone, Xu Yang said: "Xiao Ci, Su Yinian doesn't seem to hate me so much." Qiu Ci smiled happily after hearing this: "When we go back for the New Year, we will get together and have a good hot pot." ”
"Good idea, I've wanted to eat it for a long time, just the three of us?"
"Call Han Mo and Wen Ruojin, the five of us."
"Where's Lu Fengbai?" Qiu Ci hesitated, Lu Fengbai hadn't remembered all the things, and he didn't know if he would like to follow her to meet his old friend, and he seemed to have a job.
She said, "I'm asking about him." Hung up the phone, Qiu Ci lay on the bed and turned over, Wen Ruojin came out of the bathroom, climbed into bed with a mask on.
When Qiu Ci was about to fall asleep, he received a text message from Lu Fengbai: "Tomorrow on the winter solstice, I will pick you up and eat dumplings." She replied, "Okay." Lu Fengbai became busy after returning here, but it's no wonder that she used to teach her to draw at school, and she often met together, and she went home together after school at night, she used to be a student, and his work was there, but now she is still a student, but not his student anymore, and his work is also there, but he is busier.
Qiu Ci got up in the morning and changed her clothes, and after working in the dormitory for a long time, she received a call from Lu Fengbai, and she picked up her small backpack and went out.
Since she established a relationship with Lu Fengbai, every time she was asked out by Lu Fengbai, Miao Le would say in a very pure Northeast accent: "This kid is going to accompany the handsome guy again." And every time she responds to her, Qiu Ci ruthlessly closes the door, and Miao Le will look at Wen Ruojin very aggrievedly: "There are only two lonely people left in this bedroom, Wu Xiaoge also went out to date her little lover, and she is not afraid of freezing in the cold." Wen Ruojin opened the book very calmly and said silently: "You are a lonely family and I am a widow, and that is also at the emperor level." ”
"It's the so-called high and cold, I want to be a common person." Miao Le leaned against the wall with a helpless expression.
"It's the most ruthless emperor's family, and it's hard to get out of this city."
"Are you trying to say that the single dog wants to get rid of the single, and the couple dog wants to break up."
"Who knows!" After Qiu Ci walked out of the school gate, Lu Fengbai was really waiting for him there, and when he saw Qiu Ci coming over, he naturally greeted him.
"Is it cold or not?"
"It's fine." Qiu Ci got on the seat belt and asked, "I don't have a job today?" ”
"I'm on leave." Lu Fengbai smiled and started the car away. In fact, Lu Fengbai didn't tell her that he could not do this job at all, but he didn't say it, because his father hoped that he could be with Xu Feifei, and he worked so hard in the hope that this company would one day rely on him, so he would be qualified to negotiate with his father about who he would marry, and that day would not be far away.
So he just had to bring the best results to her. Lu Fengbai rented a house near her school by herself, it was very spacious and beautiful, just suitable for two people, and the first thing she saw after Qiu Ci came here was the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, she liked to bask in the sun so this kind of window was her favorite.
"How?" Lu Fengbai raised his eyebrows very proudly.
"It's beautiful." Lu Fengbai smiled and took out a bag of flour from the cabinet: "Hemen, how about eating dumplings with pork and green onions today." Qiu Ci sat on the stool on the side, looked at him and said, "I knew for the first time that the winter solstice was to eat dumplings." ”
"Everything you eat is the same, it depends on who you eat with." Qiu Ci smiled and looked at him with his chin propped up: "I always feel like you don't remember." ”
"That means that my nature is like this, and the person you know me is the real me, so you feel that I haven't changed." As he spoke, he pulled a piece of dough from his hand and stuck it on her forehead, just like when she was a child, she always secretly pulled a little bit when her mother was talking to her.
Qiu Ci held the dough and kept kneading it in her hands, for a long time of silence, when she raised her head again, she looked at Lu Fengbai like a treasure: "Show you something." ”
"What?" Lu Fengbai pretended not to know and asked curiously, in fact, when she pinched it, he had already looked at it several times, and he could probably guess that it was a thing.
Qiu Ci handed over the white-faced turtle in his hand: "Turtle, don't you look like it." ”
"En......" Lu Fengbai pointed to the turtle's neck and said, "The neck is too long." Qiu Ci pursed his mouth and slapped the turtle flat: "It's too ugly, let's rub the balls, spiral pills." ”
"You still know about Spiral Pills!"
"I also have pursuits." Qiu Ci glanced at Lu Fengbai with his head down and played with the dough, but he was a little childish.
When making dumplings, Lu Fengbai saw what it means to be strange, not to mention the ugliness of her wrapping, she also loves to play tricks, the triangle of the four-pointed star and the five-pointed star of her dumplings of any shape, even if the bag is not tight, she has to let Lu Fengbai pinch it again.
"You just wrap a side well, dumplings with your mouth open are not delicious." Qiu Ci was a little unhappy, and took a dough again to learn the posture of landing Fengbai, and pinched the dumplings seriously, this is indeed a technical job, Qiu Ci can wrap everything that can be wrapped is not good-looking, good-looking, and has an open mouth.
"Rice is delicious, why do you have to eat noodles?" Qiu Ci complained quietly, it seems that she has a lot of hostility towards making dumplings.
In the past, my mother was in charge of making dumplings at home, and she only came to help out occasionally, and there were really few people who really let her get started, so now it seems a little powerless.
Lu Fengbai put down the dumplings in his hand, moved to the opposite side of her, picked up her hand, looked at it, and said helplessly: "What a beautiful hand, the dumplings must be very delicious." Qiu Ci smiled, and with the movement of his hand, like a child who had just learned to write, let him handle it, and finally pinched out a decent dumpling.
