At noon in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother called and chatted for a while, and my mother asked Ah Sheng with a smile: "In T University, did you talk about a boyfriend?" ”

"Nope." Having said that, he unexpectedly remembered Lu Zichu.

The mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, our whole family will settle in the United States in the future, if you fall in love in college, and come to the United States at that time, you will not be responsible for the man." ”

Gu Cheng interjected on the side, "Ah Sheng can continue to stay in China, and it is very convenient to take a plane now." ”

The mother's tone changed, and she was faintly displeased: "I raised my daughter so big, how can I be willing to leave her alone in the country." Neodymium"

Ah Sheng didn't answer.

……

At dusk, Tao's mother came, heard that Gu Cheng and Ah Sheng were at home for the New Year, and invited them to go to Tao's house to guard the New Year's Bridge.

Ah Sheng looked at Gu Cheng, she was asking for his opinion, Gu Cheng knew that Ah Sheng felt guilty about Tao Ran, after Tao Ran died, he often contacted the Tao family, and cared about the daily life of the second elder, so he really didn't want his sister to be embarrassed, so he agreed with a smile.

The sky was a little dark, and red lanterns dotted the long street, exuding a hazy light, Ah Sheng looked at Gu Cheng sideways, and said softly: "Xie Lu Xie." ”

Gu Cheng clenched her hand: "You remember, it's not your fault that Tao Ran loves you." ”

Ah Sheng smiled, and the smile seemed innocuous and insignificant.

Gu Cheng sighed, it would be nice if it really didn't matter.

Because Tao Ran likes Ah Sheng, and Tao Ran's parents also regard Ah Sheng as their daughter-in-law, although Gu Cheng is not happy about this, it is inconvenient to say anything.

Keeping the New Year, watching the Spring Festival Gala, there is occasional laughter, although I try to avoid talking about Tao Ran, but it is not necessarily that Tao's mother will not see things and think about people.

Gu Cheng and Ah Sheng's mobile phone text messages rang one after another, all of them were classmates' New Year's greetings, and when Ah Sheng and Tao's father chatted, their hands were not idle, and the words were concise: Happy New Year.

Anyway, it was a text message entered in person, and Ah Sheng was most afraid of forwarding blessings, which was insincere, as if it was just to complete a task on a specific holiday......

Finding that Tao's mother was not in the living room, it was already half an hour later, Ah Sheng got up and poured a cup of hot water and went to Tao Ran's room.

Tao's mother sat on Tao Ran's bed, sorting out Tao Ran's old things, Tao Ran's relics, Tao's mother would turn them out every once in a while, brush off the dust carefully, and then put them away one by one.

There was a knock on the door, and Tao's mother didn't look up, but she picked up the back of her hand and quickly wiped her eyes.

Ah Sheng leaned against the door frame, looked at her quietly, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and looked at the steaming tea, and said softly: "Auntie, I'll accompany you to see Tao Ran!" I seem to ...... I haven't told him Happy New Year yet! ”

……

Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Zichu was very busy, there was something temporary, he returned to the UK, the night was low, out of the airport hall, the Lu family driver has been waiting outside the airport for a long time.

On the streets, there is a festive atmosphere, red lanterns can be seen everywhere, firecrackers are bursting, and I don't know what she is doing now? Watching the Spring Festival Gala?

Thinking about it this way, even though the winter is very cold, my heart feels very warm.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the Han family's old house, no different from previous years, Gu Qinghuan did not attend, probably worried that it would ruin the atmosphere and make the old man unhappy.

Before Lu Zichu walked into the house, he saw Han Yu leaning on the street lamp, smoking in the cold wind, and when he got out of the car, he looked at him with a smile.

Lu Zichu raised his eyebrows: "Wait for me?" ”

Han Yu threw the cigarette on the ground and raised his foot to extinguish it: "You think I'm willing to wait for you?" The old lady has to let me come out to meet you, what can I do? ”

"I think you're addicted to smoking." The old lady is most disgusted with smoking by her juniors, but Han Yue is addicted to smoking, and it is really difficult for him.

The old lady cherished Han Yu and Lu Zichu very much, and when she saw Lu Zichu coming back, she motioned for him to sit down, and personally brewed a cup of flower tea and brought it to him: "Drink tea quickly and warm your body." ”

Han Yu sat on the armrest of the sofa and said deliberately coldly: "Grandma, which is the grandson and grandson, please weigh it carefully, the grandson has tea to drink, where did the grandson tea go?" ”

The old lady couldn't cry or laugh, "My grandson is the same as my grandson." Turning around, he originally wanted to help Han Yu make tea to drink, but something was wrong when he thought about it, so he turned around and glanced at Han Yu: "I want to drink tea and pour it myself." ”

When Han Yu got up, he patted Lu Zichu's shoulder: "Did you see it?" The old lady didn't want to see me. ”

Lu Zichu smiled, put down the flower tea, and washed his hands.

After the reunion dinner, the New Year was boring, Lu Changping and Han Yongxin simply played chess, Han Yu answered a phone call after dinner, and when he went out, the old lady blocked the door, stunned and did not let Han Yu leave.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, you honestly stay at home for me."

Han Yu said all the good things and promised to come back within two hours, and the old lady let him go angrily.

Han Shuhui took a plate of fruit and put it in front of Lu Zichu, seeing him leaning on the sofa, playing carelessly with his mobile phone, and every time there was a text message, he would look down.

Han Shuhui found it interesting: "At this time of year, the mobile phone is left aside by you, and you never look at the text messages on your mobile phone, what's wrong this year?" ”

What's wrong? Lu Zichu picked up half of the tea in front of him, and his eyes seemed to inadvertently fall on the wall clock.

It's close to 12 o'clock, and the text message belonging to her has not been sent yet, have you forgotten?

lowered his eyes and smiled, Lu Zichu, Lu Zichu, once upon a time, you were like a hairy young man who was just beginning to fall in love, just because of a text message, you couldn't hold your breath......

Half an hour after the Spring Festival Gala ended, Lu Zichu stood in front of the window, looked at the lights of thousands of homes, slid into his trouser pocket with one hand, touched the edge of the mobile phone with his fingertips, and twisted his eyebrows slightly.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the early hours of the morning, Ah Sheng's mobile phone rang in the living room of Tao's house, Tao's father answered the phone, Ah Sheng and Tao's mother had not come back, and the mobile phone fell on Tao's house before going out.

Gu Cheng went to pick them up not long ago.

When Dad Tao saw the words "Lu Zichu", he didn't think much about it, and thought it was Ah Sheng's classmate, of course...... Male classmates.

"Hello." Dad Tao said hello first.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before a man's voice rang.

"Hello." The man's voice came through the phone, a little colder: "I'm looking for Gu Sheng, is it convenient for her to answer the phone?" ”

Tao's father said: "Not long ago, she went to see Tao Ran, and she hasn't come back yet. ”

This time the silence was relatively long, and Dad Tao thought that the other party had already ended the call, so he picked up the mobile phone and looked at it in front of him, and was still on the call, and was about to speak, when he heard the other party ask, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Tao Ran's father." Father Tao thought, this male classmate is probably a classmate of Ah Sheng's university, if it was a high school classmate, he would never remember a young man with such a good voice.

After a few moments, the man said, "Sorry to interrupt me. The voice was a little stiff and cold.

……

Ah Sheng and Tao's mother returned to Tao's house, it was already half past one in the morning, and seeing that Tao's mother was asleep, Ah Sheng got up to say goodbye.

Dad Tao sent her and Gu Cheng to the door, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned back to the sofa, and returned Ah Sheng's mobile phone to her: "After you went out, someone sent you several text messages and a phone call, and I answered it for you." ”

Ah Sheng thanked him, followed behind Gu Cheng with his mobile phone, and the thirteen unread text messages were all blessing messages from his classmates, and then looked at the call records.

The fluorescence on the screen stung her eyes, and the words "Lu Zichu" came into view, and Ah Sheng remembered that she had forgotten to send a text message to Lu Zichu.

He was supposed to be called, but ...... It was nearly two o'clock, and he probably had already gone to sleep.

In the cold wind, Ah Sheng's text message to Lu Zichu was late: "Sorry, something happened just now, and I forgot my phone at a friend's house, I wish you a happy New Year." ”

That night, Ah Sheng's mobile phone did not reply, maybe he really slept.

……

During the Chinese New Year, Gu Cheng socialized a lot, from time to time someone asked him out to eat, and Yiyi and Xu Fei disappeared with him, everyone seemed to be very busy, but it was Gu Sheng who became the most idle person.

With nothing to do, Ah Sheng will walk slowly on the street without purpose, the once familiar street, one scene a year, changes rapidly, and the only thing that seems to remain unchanged is the school.

In the next few days, Ah Sheng had a new destination.

The school was empty, and occasionally when he met a teacher who stayed at the school, Ah Sheng would stop to say a few words of greeting and talk about the current situation, and his heart was overflowing with warmth.

Along the campus avenue, Ah Sheng looked at the teaching building and library next to him from time to time, walking slowly.

Sitting on the steps of the playground, it seems that you can still hear the shouts and cheers of the past, and you can sit for most of the day.

When it got dark, Gu Cheng called her before she got up to leave.

Gu Cheng stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at her, Ah Sheng was wearing black long hair, his hair was flying in the wind, and the whole person melted into the night.

This is her, cold, independent, does not like to rely on anyone, and does not like others to rely on her.

Every period of growth comes at a price.

The years are still flowing behind them, but there is still a long way to go.

Gu Cheng knew that even if they weren't by her side, she could still live every day.
