When he was a child, Qi Yun listened to his mother read "Praise the Flower Words", which said "May gardenia wears on the head, June roses are drunk and flowers are ......" This is just May, the small streets and alleys next to the school are crowded with carts of bouquets of flowers by vendors, even the air is sweet, snow-white and fragrant gardenias, sweet and intoxicating jasmine, the most charming is undoubtedly the fiery red and charming rose, the price has also plummeted from the "sky-high price" on Valentine's Day, has reached a very approachable point. Because of this, flowers began to become a large number of boys in the school to express their love to their beloved girls, every day there are girls holding delicate roses, snow-white lilies, or other flowers that cannot be named, from the narrow end of the school dormitory corridor, gracefully walking, the fragrance is intoxicating, and there is a long afterglow after walking past.

Qi Yun actually didn't like flowers much, the mother at home tended to have a few pots of flowers and plants, and sometimes she was tired of asking her to help water them, not to mention that she also felt that the flowers bloomed on the branches well, but they were cut down raw, although they were wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper, but they would soon wither, and then they would be thrown out of the door by the pair of slender hands who were pampered and held it back, completely turned into a pile of organic garbage.

This process is not only not beautiful, but also somewhat inhumane. Qi Yun disagreed in his heart. But who made women inherently vain animals? Qi Yun watched the girls in the same dormitory come back one by one with flowers in their hands, even if they didn't look good, they were all set off by the flowers and the love represented by the flowers, and their eyes were bright and smiling with joy. Although flowers are not rare, it is a pity that love is something that cannot be touched or seen, and flowers just solidify this empty thing - all in all, Qi Yun admits that he is a little envious.

Especially Zhuomei, bouquets of roses were brought into the dormitory one after another, and the fragrance was so scented that Qi Yun couldn't sleep at night. Senior Brother Su Kai probably knew that the freshman junior sister was originally a battleground for the senior brothers of all grades in the school, not to mention that with her beautiful appearance and active personality, she could not be the master who was not cared for. So as soon as the offensive was launched, it was menacing, and the roses sometimes sent 99; Sometimes tied into a beautiful heart-shaped flower ball; The most "bleeding" time was to send a bouquet of 11 authentic "blue enchantresses" imported from France, with gold dust on it, which looked quite vulgar, but because of the high price, it became a treasure that the girls in the whole building rushed to see their dignity. At this time, even a person like Qi Yun, who is not very sensitive, can't help but envy in his heart, maybe this is what Senior Brother Su Kai wants, using the mouths of these gossip little girls to announce to other boys that Zhuo Mei is already famous, and she is a considerate and wealthy "master", so that others can only sigh and call for lotus in vain.

Qi Yun is also a girl, why don't you want Lu Wei to give her a rose? As for the most ordinary red roses, three yuan a piece is very good, and it is said that roses are a symbol of love, and Qi Yun also hopes that her boyfriend can "symbolize" her.

But no matter how she knocked on the side openly and secretly, until she made her blush a little because of her explicitness, Lu Wei didn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, anyway, she never answered the conversation, which really made Qi Yun secretly wonder what this guy's heart was made of, could it be the legendary copper peas that can't be steamed, cooked, hammered, fried, or exploded?

When Zhuo Mei twisted the thin waist of Yang Liu, held a bouquet of 33 purple roses, and walked through the campus swaggeringly, she happened to meet Qi Yun and Lu Wei who was holding a book, and the two went to the library to study together. Qi Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Hua, and he ran forward excitedly, exaggeratedly touching and exclaiming.

Qi Yun asked, "Is this flower a rose?" Why is it purple? ”

Zhuo Mei glanced at Lu Wei, who was holding the book upright, and there was no expression on his face.

"This is the Purple Rose, and the flower language is 'You are my most precious and unique love'. ”

"It's so beautiful!"

Qi Yun's face was full of envy, and she gently touched the delicate petals of the rose with her fingers, which seemed to be velvety and good touch, so that she couldn't bear to remove her fingers.

Zhuo Mei enthusiastically introduced: "33 flowers, which means to love you for three lives and three lives. ”

"Snort."

The two girls, who were talking enthusiastically, seemed to hear a very inconspicuous laugh. After hearing this voice, Qi Yun blushed, and Zhuo Mei automatically took the expression of "Who are you, who are you laughing at", and directly aimed her face at the source of the sound: Lu Wei's face.

Lu Wei silently turned his face sideways, avoiding Zhuomei's gaze. But Zhuo Mei was obviously unwilling to do this, so she died down, she coughed lightly, and said to Lu Wei in a voice that seemed to be interested:

"Lu Wei, when will I see that you also express your expression to our big beauty Qi Yun? Women, it's just for pain. ”

Lu Wei was not overwhelmed by Zhuomei's arrogance, he lowered his head and said softly:

"It doesn't have to be a flower that will wither at any time, right? What's more, the phrase 'the most precious and unique love' itself is problematic, does it mean that the flower giver has many other unprecious and unique loves? ”

Qi Yun thought for a while, and felt that what Lu Wei said was reasonable, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. But Zhuomei was obviously moved, and shouted: "You said you don't need flowers to show it!" But you can't just touch your lower lip with your upper lip, right? What's so unusual about being able to represent tens of millions of times a day? ”

Lu Wei's gaze did not show weakness, and he said clearly word by word: "If feelings are equated with matter, wouldn't it just respond to the saying of the ancients - 'Women are like clothes'?" ”

Zhuo Mei was so angry that she glared at Lu Wei and wanted to have a seizure, but probably thought that Lu Wei was still standing next to Qi Yun, so she snorted and glanced at Qi Yun, turned her head and left.

Zhuomei's high heels trampled on the asphalt of the school, Qi Yun subconsciously chased a few steps, couldn't catch up, turned around and complained to Lu Wei: "What did you say?" ”

Lu Wei patted the dust that didn't exist on his body and said, "Is what I said wrong?" Equating feelings with material means degrading oneself to material attributes, since a woman with material attributes, how can she not be the same as clothes? ”

After speaking, he even hugged the book and left, leaving Qi Yun in place and stomping his feet angrily. Qi Yun didn't know which immortal she was committing with today's eight characters, and it was so unfavorable for the year.

That night, Qi Yun deliberately walked around the small night market outside the campus for a while, tasted a few snacks, and then returned to the dormitory at a slow pace, she knew that Zhuomei was very angry today, and deliberately wanted to use the method of delaying time to make her calm and calm, so as not to return to the dormitory Zhuomei poured all her anger on herself.

But Rao is like this, when Qi Yun returned to the dormitory, Zhuomei's strength had not yet passed, Qi Yun entered the room, Zhuomei pretended not to be aware at first, and after a while, she turned out a small underwear and threw it into the small basin, swaying and twisting her waist to go to the water room to wash clothes.

How dare Qi Yun slack off, he hurriedly pulled a towel and put it in the basin as a cover, and followed out doggedly.

As soon as I entered the water room, I saw Zhuo Mei screwing the faucet to the maximum, and the basin was full of beads and broken jade. Qi Yun was startled, and hurriedly went up and twisted the faucet, and said with a smile: "The water in the school doesn't cost money, or what?" Look at you driving so big, as if you want to wash away some heinous sin. ”

After speaking, he grinned at Zhuomei. Zhuo Mei didn't smile, her face was hard to see, and she yelled at Qi Yun loudly:

"Even if my sister is a dress, it's a brand he can't afford to wear!"

"Shh Qi Yun hurriedly reached out and covered his good friend's mouth, "Shhh, be quiet!" Your big beauty is naturally a famous brand, a big brand, as soon as your brand is shown, even Galeries Lafayette in Paris has to get out of class! ”

Zhuo Mei glanced at Qi Yun, she indiscriminately maintained her little boyfriend's appearance, which made Zhuo Mei angry. Zhuo Mei poked the little girl's forehead vigorously:

"You, you're going to stick to it! You are condescending, but beware of whether others have ulterior motives! You have wronged yourself here, but you have been wronged a lot, others will only take it for granted, do you think that everyone in the world understands Entu? Shh Sister, I will remind you with my rich experience: The most humble thing in this world is no more than feelings, and the coolest thing is not people's hearts! ”

Qi Yun listened to Zhuomei's counts in silence, and she just begged Zhuomei to dissipate her anger now. However, that night, when she was lying alone in the dark, her heart was not without grievances. Although she absolutely believed that Lu Wei had no ulterior motives for her, although she could choose to believe Lu Wei and not be moved by everyone's rumors, the love that Lu Wei gave her was definitely different from the kind of clear-cut, hot and passionate love she gave Lu Wei, although Qi Yun pretended not to care so much, but ...... Is it really difficult to have a 3 yuan rose?

What Qi Yun didn't know was that in another corner of the night, there was another person who was suffering from insomnia.

It's not that Lu Wei hasn't loved her. It's just that in addition to loving her, he still has too many memories, too many taboos, and too many ties. So no matter how much he loves, he can't help but hesitate, and is more like a teapot without a mouth, unable to pour out the love in his arms.

When they were together, Lu Wei always repeatedly told Qi Yun to study hard, and after Qi Yun's active heart was really put into the books, Lu Wei himself would be distracted, but he would quietly raise his head and quietly look at the girl in his heart. Her face is delicate, and the skin on the back of her fair hands is like a shelled egg, this city girl who comes from a good family background at first glance is obviously different from those weather-beaten and hard-working rural women that Lu Wei has met in his past life experience, and this difference makes Lu Wei panic for no reason. Even if he has never had emotional experience, he knows that this kind of girl needs to be cared for in the palm of her hand, and if he loves her, he must give her a good life.

But how can we give her a good life? Lu Wei's own understanding of "good life" is even just an abstract concept. All he could do was work harder, and he didn't sincerely believe that his efforts in schoolwork would one day pave a way for him and her future. For this, he was more anxious than ever. Especially after deciding to take the English 6 exam this year, he often studied at night in order to prepare for this exam. Although he worked hard to make up for it after going to college, and because he was keen and studious, he was particularly favored by foreign teachers, but the sixth-level exam that focused on grammar and basic skills was undoubtedly a tough battle for him, so he got into the pronunciation classroom for a while, forgetting Qi Yun who was sitting in the cafeteria waiting for him to eat together.

From Qi Yun's side, the phenomenon he saw was that Lu Wei not only refused to give her the delicate flowers that represented love, but also did not feel guilty after that, nor did he make more accommodations to her, but on the contrary, he behaved more and more detached. She made an appointment with him to eat in the cafeteria, but often she couldn't wait for him, or she sat and waited for half an hour, and he hurried to the meal when it was cold; She asked him out to hang out, and he always refused her because he didn't have time; Even when she went to self-study with him, he gradually began to annoy her, and thought that she was disturbing him by reading books, listening to music, eating snacks, and drove her to other classrooms to "free activities".

Qi Yun felt extremely aggrieved and resentful, how could anyone have treated her like this since she was a child? Every time she couldn't help but lose her temper, and even screamed angrily a few times to break up, Lu Wei would sincerely apologize, and Qi Yun Judging from the innocent expression on Lu You's face, his neglect of himself was not intentional. Every time he thought of this, Qi Yun would forgive him again. Thinking that he is different from himself, he not only has to study well in his major, but also has to be an assistant to Professor Su and take law school classes, and he has to tutor English from middle school, and sometimes he will make a cameo appearance to go out to do odd jobs, all of this adds up, the burden is a little heavier, and it is inevitable that he will be under pressure, as a girlfriend, it seems that she should encourage him more, support him, and don't worry about it.

Every time Qi Yun was so angry with him that he cried, and vowed in the rainy sky in his heart that he would never pay attention to this person again, but on the other hand, he quietly held up an umbrella for him in his heart, making excuses for him, telling himself that it was not true that there were things in his life that were more important than himself, but that those things were things that he had to complete and do well at this stage, and he and he had to spend a long time together...... Maybe it's a lifetime. Thinking that he might be with Lu Wei for the rest of his life, until both of them were gray-haired, their teeth were gone, and they were still together when they walked, Qi Yun felt both funny and a little touched by the heat of his eyes. She thought that by that time, she would definitely take revenge on him and treat him like a servant, the "shame" that Yixue was ignored by him today.

The day of the sixth grade exam was at the end of the year, which was the coldest day of winter since Qi Yun and their sophomore year were promoted, and the little snowflakes couldn't wait to fly down from the zenith. Qi Yun originally relied on his good English level, because the uncle attached great importance to the edification and training of her language environment since she was a child, and since junior high school, she entrusted her classmates who taught in the outer courtyard to arrange for Qi Yun to be "one by one" activities for British students twice a week, so although the 6 years of middle school are changed to a few international students, this kind of learning has never stopped, Qi Yun even speaks English slang witticisms, and the fourth level is easy to win, but because of the contempt for grammar, the score is not too high. This time in the sixth level exam, Qi Yun held back his strength to make Lu Wei impress her, so he was bored in the library for nearly a month to make up for grammar, and even the meeting with Lu Wei was exempted.

It is clear where a person's time is spent. As soon as the test paper for the sixth-level exam came down, Qi Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed a few times in his heart. Like a little monkey in a peach forest, she picked left and right, and quickly answered a test paper. She could have handed in the papers and left the venue a long time ago, but she remembered that Lu Wei usually asked her to be more meticulous and down-to-earth, and she wanted to get a good score so that she could raise her eyebrows in front of Lu Wei, so she patiently checked the paper over and over again, and she must not make a low-level mistake in spelling, nor answer a question by mistake, and she kept grinding until the winding bell was about to ring, and then she handed in the test paper with great ambition.

Holding a stack of books, she stood at an intersection between the classroom and the dormitory, waiting for the landing to come out. Because Lu Wei had always been afraid of the teachers and classmates making irresponsible remarks, Qi Yun didn't dare to stand too close to the classroom where he was taking the exam. And with her understanding of Lu Wei, Lu Wei will definitely not hand in the papers in advance for this kind of major exam, and he is bound to solemnly look forward to coming back with one or two points at the last second, adding a little red flower to his excellent resume. So Qi Yun waited for the book, the snowflakes were in a hurry, and her fingertips were numb, but he never appeared. Until the official end of the sixth-level exam, Qi Yun couldn't be reserved, and grabbed Zhuomei, who was in the same examination room as Lu Wei: "What about Lu Wei?" ”

"Lu Wei?" Zhuo Mei raised her eyebrows, "He handed over the roll early in the morning, so he left you fool like a fool and waited." ”

"Out?" Qi Yun was in a hurry: "Where did you go?" ”

Zhuo Mei glanced at her, "You don't even know that you're his girlfriend, and of course I don't know." ”

Qi Yun silently did not answer. She understands that Zhuo Mei has formed a bond with Lu Wei since half a year ago, and although she is quite passable on the face, she still does not vote for her and Lu Wei's relationship in her heart. What's more, Zhuo Mei is reasonable, she is Lu Wei's girlfriend, why does she have to ask others about Lu Wei's whereabouts? Qi Yun smiled helplessly, and began to search for Lu Wei all over the campus, Lu Wei didn't have a mobile phone, and he couldn't call him, Qi Yun was so anxious. On that day, I knew for the first time in my life that if there were no modern communication tools, it would be so difficult to find someone in the vast sea of people.

Qi Yun, who had never been able to find Lu Wei, threw the book to Zhuo Mei and stood alone at the downstairs of the boys' dormitory, waiting alone, when people were at a loss, they couldn't help but think about the worst, so Qi Yun's mind was now full of ominous thoughts - what made Lu Wei hand in the paper in advance and leave without saying goodbye? With Lu Wei's character, there must be something big happening, what big thing can it be? He doesn't have any relatives in this city, could it be that his family members who are thousands of miles away are in poor health and have an accident and call to call urgently? Or...... If you are ill or have an accident, is Lu worried about herself?

In a blink of an eye, the lights were already on, Qi Yun couldn't wait for Lu Wei, he was still standing downstairs in the boys' dormitory and waiting for the rabbit, the snow gradually accumulated, and the whole campus looked crystal clear under the reflection of the street lamps, like a delicate snow world. Although Zhuomei gritted her teeth, she also waited with her for a while. In the end, he couldn't hold on anymore, and stomped his feet to persuade Qi Yun to go back to the dormitory and wait, but Qi Yun just ignored it, and kept nagging: "He's okay, right?" He's okay......"

"Oh, you sister-in-law Xianglin! What can he do with a boy who is more than 1.9 meters old? If it goes on like this, he'll be fine, you'll either freeze to death, or you will die of exhaustion after nagging too much! ”

"Let's go!" She was so angry that she and Zhuo Mei also turned her face, "You go back to the dormitory by yourself, don't let my nagging annoy you!" ”

Zhuo Mei was so angry that she brushed her sleeves away. Qi Yun was also frozen, at first he warmed his hands with hot air on his fingertips, but then he couldn't even blow any heat in his mouth, and the whole person was so cold that the snowflakes fell on her body, turning her into a snowman. I don't know how long it took, Lu Wei's figure finally appeared under the street lamp, walking in a hurry in the wind and snow flying obliquely.

When Qi Yun saw him, he was shocked at first, and he didn't care if there were any classmates around him, so he plunged into his arms and asked with a whimper:

"Where have you been? Is something wrong? ”

Lu Wei had always been worried that it would not affect me well on campus, so he hurriedly pushed Qi Yun gently, and touched her fingertips in a hurry, which was as cold as ice. He wondered:

"How long have you been standing here? Why are your hands so cold? ”

Tears trickled down her cheeks, and she just asked, "Where have you been?" What happened to you? ”

Lu Wei said: "That's the case. I haven't seen you much recently, and I forgot to tell you: the parents of the children who used to ask me to be tutors have been busy with work recently, and they asked me to help tutor their children for a few more months, and they also took care of the children smoothly. I thought that being a tutor would also be a good workout for me and make some extra money, so I agreed...... No, today's parents of the child went on a business trip abroad, and they had something to explain to me before leaving, because their plane couldn't wait, so I handed in the paper and hurried to go, it was quite far, and the bus couldn't go fast in the snow, so I didn't come back until now. ”

"What? Family education? Qi Yun laughed angrily, because he was so cold, he was in a trance, and he listened to Lu Wei say a lot, looking at him who was close at hand, but he felt that it was far away and close. Lu Wei glanced around, the snowy campus was already empty, so he gently stretched out his hand and held Qi Yun's hand that was frozen like an ice cube in his palm. But that trace of warmth not only did not make Qi Yun feel comfortable, but it contrasted the cold and terrifying.

Qi Yun wanted to question Lu Wei, but he felt that he couldn't say anything decent, so he just muttered and repeated:

"When you get out of class, you're just in a hurry to go to the tutoring class?"

"Well, yes."

"You, you, you ......" Qi Yun endured it for a long time, and the tears of grievance finally fell, she choked up and said:

"Could it be...... Don't you think we haven't seen each other for a month? After the exam, how can you just think about rushing to the tutoring class......"

Lu Wei smiled, his young smile looked particularly good in the crystal snowflakes under the street lamp. He wiped away Qi Yun's tears, took out a small wooden box from his pocket for a long time, and handed it to Qi Yun.

Lu Wei said in a humming voice: "It's the New Year next week, and I rushed to meet the parents of the students in such a hurry today, also to settle this month's tutoring fees, so that I can buy you a New Year's gift - Oh, I wanted you to give it to you on the day of the New Year, but now you are so troublesome, I have no choice but not to surprise you." ”

Qi Yun froze, her whole body was warmed by the huge surprise, she laboriously opened the wooden box with her stiff fingertips, and inside was a small, water-colored Jade Maitreya Buddha, but Lu Wei's financial situation needed to be very difficult to afford such a gift. Qi Yun had crystal tears on his face, but said with a smile:

"Well, since you have already paid your New Year's gift today, when it comes to New Year's Day, I will invite you to dinner."

After speaking, he happily shone at the street lamp with the jade Maitreya Buddha, and said with a rare expression:

"Thank you, Lu Wei, I have never received such a good gift!"

Lu Wei rarely scratched her ice-carved nose and said:

"It's less smelly and beautiful, and I bought it casually at the stall."

"I don't believe it," Qi Yun took out the mall's invoice and warranty card from the box, and patted Lu Wei, "Look, what is this?" ”

Qi Yun inadvertently glanced at the invoice, and was suddenly stunned:

"This costs more than 3,000 yuan? Surely your monthly make-up tuition fee is not enough, right? ”

Lu Wei looked at her with a smile and did not speak. Standing in the ice and snow for a while, Lu Wei, who was thinly dressed, also froze into a red nose, which looked both funny and poignant. Qi Yun knew that in order to buy this gift, Lu Wei must have been more frugal in the past few months, he was still wearing a thin khaki jacket brought from home, and it was about to break out after washing in several places, besides, who else in the city wore it?

Qi Yun couldn't speak, he just looked at Lu Wei fixedly, and after a long time, he said softly:

"Lu Wei, thank you."

Lu Wei was a little embarrassed, avoided her gaze, and said softly:

"I don't like flowers because they bloom for too short a time, and I want them to be long...... But if you really like it that much...... I'll give you a bouquet next time. ”

"No, no, no," Qi Yun said eagerly, "I don't like flowers, I really don't like them." Really, really, really ......."

She said again and again, Lu Wei was amused by her childishness, and gently instructed: "Go back to the dormitory." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Yun snorted reluctantly, shook Lu Wei's hand again, turned around and walked happily in the direction of the door of the girls' dormitory, and walked under the bare osmanthus tree, she stopped suddenly, turned back and almost bumped into him who was following her.

He frowned, just about to count her frizziness, but for some reason he held back and looked straight at her. The snow was falling, and the huge campus was empty except for the two of them. Her eyelashes were covered with melted snow, and she bit her lower lip, a blush on her lips and cheeks.

She gritted her teeth and commanded him:

"Kiss me."

"What?" He was taken aback and shook his body. She looked at him directly, urging one after another:

"Hurry, hurry."

Lu Wei took a deep breath and let go. He leaned over awkwardly, and kissed her lips, which were as cold as thousand-year-old iron but sticky and sweet as honey.

As far as the eye can see, the entire campus, and even the whole world, appear snow-white, crystalline, and incomparably pure and transparent. But all of them could not match the smile on her face, like the most beautiful flowers swaying in the warm spring breeze.
