A sea of people.

The shopping malls of the previous year were crowded with men, women and children as if they didn't want money. The mother complained as she walked: "If you tell you to come back early, you won't listen, and you will see that the mall will be sold out." ”

"How can it be bought out." Zhu Yun carried a large bag and a small wrap, came out of the elevator room, and arrived at the third floor, dressed as a lady. "Isn't there a lot of that?"

"Yes, there are also those who have been picked and leftover." My mother also had a bunch of packages in her hand, "You don't take a few pieces of your school clothes back, now you have to buy everything again." ”

Zhu Yun quietly grimaced.

It was a good day, and she only had time to pack her computer and books when she returned to the dormitory, so she had no energy to take care of her clothes.

Entering a boutique clothing store, her mother chose clothes, and Zhu Yun followed behind, slowly wandering.

Today......

She looked down at her watch, it was noon.

Is he ready, is he going to the company?

Zhu Yun sent a text message to Li Xun in the morning, but there was no reply. She didn't dare to call rashly, for fear of disturbing him.

It's so irritable.

"How's this one?"

"Ugly."

“………”

Zhu Yun coughed twice and explained to the stunned salesperson, "No, I mean...... It's pretty good. ”

Mother said, "Didn't you get a good rest last night? How do you feel like you're not in shape? ”

Zhu Yun touched her nose: "Maybe it's a little tired from the journey." ”

My mother deeply understood and said to the salesperson on the side: "I know how to study, and I will not say that I am still in school after the New Year." The little girl's family doesn't care about dressing up at all. ”

The salesman observed the words and exclaimed: "How good that is, at first glance, this customer is a good student, and his temperament is particularly outstanding." ”

The mother handed the skirt in her hand to Zhu Yun: "Go try it, this one is very beautiful." ”

Zhu Yun took her skirt to the fitting room. It was very troublesome to change clothes in winter, Zhu Yun took off her glasses and prepared to take off her pullover sweater. As soon as I took it off halfway, the phone shook.

Zhu Yun was overpowered, and she didn't care about taking off her clothes, her sweater was stuck around her neck, and she freed up one hand to get her phone.

Sure enough, it was Li Xun's reply.

"On the way, say it later."

What time is late?

Zhu Yun had a lot of things he wanted to ask him, but he always felt that the time was not right, and in the end he only sent two words-

"Come on."

Li Xun did not reply to her.

Zhu Yun changed her clothes, hung her head and pushed open the door of the fitting room, and the salesperson looked at her with a smile, and was about to praise her, but found a fatal problem.

"Customer, you're wearing your clothes backwards."

Zhu Yun lowered his head.

“……”

My mother was choosing other clothes, and when she saw this scene, she said, "I'll just say you, what do you think about every day?" ”

Zhu Yun wordlessly went back to wear it again, and when she came out again, the salesperson finally praised: "It looks good!" Customer, the white color really sets you off, your skin is good! ”

Zhu Yun lowered her head and prepared to wear glasses, and the salesperson said, "Customer, you look better without glasses." ”

I can't even look without glasses.

Zhu Yun was fully dressed and looked in the mirror.

I have to say that my mother's vision is really good, a white hard dress, the hem is dotted with flowers, and the waist is paired with a finger-wide deerskin belt, because it is a winter model, and a light short fur is placed on top of the dress. Zhu Yun's face is hidden in the fluffy fur, which looks extraordinarily small.

"It's so pretty! This one looks good! It's a perfect match for you! "Highly recommended by the salesperson.

The mother smiled at the praise of the salesperson and said to Zhu Yun, "I picked a good one." ”

Zhu Yun nodded.

The mother said to the salesperson, "I want this." ”

After buying several sets of clothes in a row, when Zhu Yun's bag and arm were about to break, her mother was finally satisfied.

"That's pretty much it." The mother said, "Wait a few days to pay New Year's greetings to your uncles and aunts, dressed in tatters, what kind of decency they will become." ”

On the way home, her mother counted the New Year's itinerary, and Zhu Yun listened absentmindedly. After arriving home, her mother began to prepare the meal, but Zhu Yun couldn't eat it, so she said a word of homework and went upstairs.

"What homework are you previewing? You just had a vacation, and you don't even have any books for the next semester! ”

Zhu Yun: "It's a review!" Wrong! ”

The mother wore an apron and shouted upstairs: "It's not bad for the two days of the New Year!" ”

"Oh, if she wants to read, you can let her read it." In the living room, Zhu Guangyi drank tea and read the newspaper. "You are more angry than anyone else if she doesn't read, and you are anxious to read, what do you want her to do?"

The mother tied her apron with her backhand and looked upstairs without saying a word.

Zhu Yun fell on the bed, and there was a new round of tossing and turning.

She kept looking at her watch, at her phone, at what she could see.

How does time pass so slowly?

She tried to flip through books and write code, but she couldn't do anything, as if something was always pressing on her chest, she couldn't go up or down, and she was restless.

In the evening, her mother asked her to go downstairs for dinner, Zhu Yun had no appetite at all, and she coped with her parents' discussion on the topic of studying abroad without saying a word.

"What do you think of Brother Xiaoyu?"

"It's good."

"It's rare to have the opportunity to study abroad now, there are few people, and the resources are naturally good, but I heard you Aunt Jiang say that when your brother Xiaoyu went out in his early years, he also suffered a lot, and there is still prejudice against us over there."

Zhu Yun shrugged.

Mother: "But if you really have the ability, you can also be impressive." You can't be confined to your own small circle, you have to integrate into their big society. ”

Zhu Yun's heart was not on the topic at all, and she glanced out the window.

"It's snowing again." She said.

"Again?" My mother smiled and said, "It's the first snow of the year." ”

Zhu Yun was stunned.

It turned out that there was no snow in the city that day.

Only the two of them saw the snow, and Zhu Yun felt comforted for a moment.

*

At two o'clock in the middle of the night that day, Zhu Yun received Li Xun's reply-

"OK."

Zhu Yun let out a sigh, she went to the ground, locked the door, and then returned to the bed, covered the quilt above her head, and called Li Xun.

"Hello?"

"Li Xun ......"

"Well, you haven't slept yet?" Li Xun seemed to be outside, and there was a rumor in his mobile phone.

Zhu Yun: "I was just watching TV with my family. ”

He scoffed, clearly disbelieving.

Zhu Yun pursed her lips, "That ......"

"Which one?"

She heard the sound of a lighter. Zhu Yun didn't beat around the bush anymore, and asked him directly: "Have you seen the person with the blue crown?" What do they say? How did it get so late? ”

"A bunch of idiots, the demo software was demonstrated for half a day."

"Are they satisfied?"

"Except that the homepage picture is too ugly, I'm very satisfied."

“………………”

"I'll talk about the contract in detail tomorrow, and it should be able to be done by the end of the year."

"Oh."

Li Xun smoked at the intersection of wind and snow, this time the snow was heavier than before, the night temperature was low, and there was a thin layer on the ground.

He smiled and said, "Okay, rest assured, go to sleep." ”

Zhu Yun: "Wait, is the cold cured?" ”

Li Xun: "Okay. ”

"Then you should rest early and go home for the New Year as soon as possible."

Li Xun's breath paused slightly, and then he hummed in a low voice.

Hung up the phone, and a big stone in my heart also fell. Zhu Yun stretched, then covered her face in the pillow, pressed it tightly, and then took a deep breath, tightened her muscles, and yelled.

"Ahhhh

She was afraid that her parents would hear the sound, so the pillow was buried very deep, so deep that when she raised her head, due to a temporary lack of oxygen, her eyes were full of stars.

Zhu Yun lay down on the bed in a daze.

It's so cool.

She was indeed relieved, but this did not mean that she would be able to fall asleep, Zhu Yun was excited for a night, and the next day she was still alive.

In the next few days, she began to help her mother prepare things for the New Year. Because of Zhu Guangyi's identity, their family entertains many people during the Chinese New Year every year, and most of them are scholars or educators, and they say a lot.

Fortunately, these activities are held after Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still with my family. The hotel was booked more than two months in advance and was full. Zhu Yun's grandfather has passed away, and there is still a grandmother in her eighties, with inconvenient legs and feet, and her brain is a little confused. Because Zhu Yun's parents were busy with work and had no one to take care of her grandmother, her father sent her to a high-end health center to visit her once a week.

Their table opens early, eats at seven, and ends at eight. Grandma had limited energy, and after the junior visit, she was already drowsy, and the family drove her back to the recuperation center.

The city was filled with the sound of firecrackers, which was deafening.

After sending his grandmother to the recuperation center, Zhu Guangyi drove home. After eating too much, Zhu Yun was too lazy to speak, her head was pressed against the car window, and she raised her eyes to look at the sky.

Today it is more lively above than below.

Fireworks are everywhere.

The car drove into the community, the building blocked the view, and Zhu Yun unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car. At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing next to the community fountain outside the window.

The car quickly turned around and turned into the lane, and Zhu Yun only had time to see the general figure of the man, and he didn't even see the basic identification point - hair color clearly, and his heart jumped wildly.

Don't get excited, she told herself, there are tall boys.

It's useless, it's still exciting.

When she got home, her mother went to turn on the TV, and Zhu Yun rushed directly to the bathroom and closed the door tightly with her backhand.

She took out her mobile phone and called Li Xun.

Rang twice, on.

"Hello?"

“……”

What should I say?

Zhu Yun: "...... Happy New Year. ”

"So are you."

"That...... What happened to the software? ”

"It's long over, and the contract is over."

Zhu Yun sighed, and Li Xun asked her, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhu Yun sat on the toilet lid and said, "What are you doing, just finished eating, what about you?" ”

"I received the advance payment, and I was about to send red envelopes to the employees."

"Huh?" Zhu Yun was in the clouds.

"Ahh He seemed to be laughing.

"Li Xun ......"

"I'm at your doorstep."

Zhu Yun pinched her phone hard!

Really! That was you just now! It's you! It's you! I said I wasn't mistaken!

She stood up, walked around twice, lowered her voice, and quickly asked:

"How did you know I lived here?"

Uncle Li said lazily: "I want to be difficult to get on your academic affairs backstage?" ”

“……”

That's not how computer technology works.

Someone knocked on the door of the bathroom, Zhu Yun's heart jumped again, and then remembered that she had locked the door just now.

"Zhu Yun, wait and eat fruit, which one do you want to eat mango or grapefruit?" It's the mother.

Zhu Yun rushed outside and said, "It's all right, grapefruit!" ”

Mother leaves.

She didn't hear it, thanks for the firecrackers tonight.

Zhu Yun put the phone to her ear again.

"That, Li Xun, I'll probably ...... later"

"I know." Li Xun's voice was calm, "You know where the Tachibana Hotel is." ”

"Hmm." Not far from her house, two streets away, a small hostel.

"I'll live there, and I'll come when I'm free."

"Hmm."

Just as he was about to say something more, his mother knocked on the door again.

"Why is it so slow? Apples are going to crumple. ”

"It's coming, right away!"

When Zhu Yun picked up the phone again, Li Xun had already hung up.

went to the living room to chat with her parents and watch TV, Zhu Yun stuffed fruit in her mouth, and the TV program was in her eyes but not in her heart.

She looked at the joyful sketch, and suddenly remembered that she had just forgotten to ask him.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, why didn't you go home?
