In the kitchen.

Huo Ran had already taken off his thick coat, wearing only a simple black loose sweater, slightly rolled up his sleeves, he was tall, standing, and a small light bulb emitting a dim light hung above his head.

He was cutting vegetables, and glanced up at Su Yu who was standing at the door.

Su Yu proposed: "Shall I start a fire?" ”

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows: "Will you?" ”

Of course Su Yu won't, she hasn't caught fire, but she has seen Huo Ran start a fire once before, she pursed her lips, didn't speak, and sat directly on the small low stool next to the earthen stove.

She first picked a few small branches, broke them, stacked them neatly, and placed them under the boiler, and then she picked up the pile of dry leaves that had been placed beside her, piled them under the small branches, and lit the lighter.

The flames first devoured the dry leaves, and slowly lit up.

Su Yu's eyes lit up and he looked up at Huo Ran.

Huo Ran raised the corners of his lips at her, smiled slightly, and said lightly, "The fire is extinguished." ”

Su Yu was slightly stunned, and turned around, it was really like this, the fire just now brightened brightly, but only for a moment, after burning those dry branches and leaves, it didn't bring the branches to burn.

Everything is back to the way it was.

Su Yu puffed out his cheeks, a little deflated.

Huo Ran said, "You stand up first, I'll come." ”

She stood aside, Huo Ran sat down, his shoulders were broad, his posture was straight, no matter what he did, he made people feel good-looking.

Su Yu stared at him with lowered eyes.

His bony fingers picked out a more slender branch, only a small handful, smaller than the one Su Yu had just taken.

He bowed his head slightly, turned his face sideways, stared at the boiler, and gathered a small handful of branches together, but when he looked over, each one was separate.

The way he lit the fire was almost the same as Su Yu's, except that the tiny flames passed through his hands, and slowly, it became a fire that was about to burn the plain, and it burned all at once, and the small branches were also burned red.

His handsome and deep face reflected the firelight, which jumped slightly, and the lines that set off his silhouette were soft and smooth.

Su Yu was a little stunned.

Huo Ran raised his eyes, there was not only fire in his dark pupils, but also Su Yu's reflection, and his voice was low and soothing: "You took too much, and you put the branches together neatly, so you can't burn." ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up, went to the sink, and washed his hands.

"Su Yu, you can look at the fire later."

"Okay."

Su Yu suddenly wanted to laugh, just when she saw Huo Ran raise her head and tell her the principle of burning fire, she suddenly had a strange idea - should Huo Ran educate her through the branches of the burning fire in the next sentence, too many branches mean that she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the branches are too neat to educate people about the need for individuality?

She curled her lips.

Huo Ran took the dishes and walked in, he was about to start cooking noodles.

He glanced at Su Yu, who was sitting like an obedient child, and suddenly a little desire to chat welled up from the depths of his heart, and he said lightly: "My father used to teach me to make fires, and he likes to cook very much, probably he passed on this talent for cooking to me." ”

Huo Ran hooked the corners of his lips, the arc was a little shallow, and there was a faint hint of sarcasm.

After being silent for a while, Su Yu asked him: "You haven't told me yet, what about you when you were a child......

Huo Ran's eyes were dark, and he glanced at Su Yu: "Things were a little boring when I was a child, I grew up in this village, reading, playing, and playing all the things that rural children have played." ”

"For example?"

"Marbles, spinning tops, catching crickets, climbing trees, and maybe fighting......"

He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, poured the oil into the pot, and stir-fried the onions and garlic.

Su Yu bent his eyes, and his voice was very soft: "I have also fought, follow Lin Xianyu, I had a lot of strength when I was a child, Xianyu is the eldest sister, I am her thug, after the two of us push the boys, Xianyu will pull me and start crying, which scares the boys for a while." ”

Huo Ran added water to the pot, and the water and oil touched it, making a "stabbing sound".

"Why are you beating people?"

"Because Xianyu likes that boy, but the boy rejected her, she was angry and angry, so she took me and pushed him down."

Huo Ran sneered, and there was a smile in his eyes.

He stared at her blankly, his Adam's apple rolling silently.

Sometimes, I really want to go back to her childhood and see what she looked like.

*

When the noodles are cooked, the aroma spreads far away.

Su Yu looked up at the sky, in the dark night, a bright moon hung high, bright yellow, exuding a soft light, enveloping this distant village.

The snow on the ground is reflected in the moonlight, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Although it was winter, the snow had not yet melted, and the wind was not strong, so it was not very cold.

Su Yu curled his lips: "The moon is so beautiful." ”

Huo Ran glanced at her and didn't speak, but he had always been a man of action, but after a while, he moved out a folding table and placed it in the courtyard.

Su Yu smiled, went to the kitchen and took out two chairs with backs and placed them next to the folding table.

Huo Ran had already come out with two bowls of noodles.

The two of them sat down.

Huo Ran was probably hungry, and he was eating fast, but Su Yu had only eaten a little, and his noodles were about to bottom out.

Su Yu picked up the noodles with chopsticks and took a bite.

She thinks it is particularly delicious, probably related to the fact that she is the one who masters the heat today, the taste of the noodles is smooth and tough, a little strong, the soup is light, there is a little green onion and small mushrooms floating on it, and today's egg is made into egg drop.

When Huo Ran finished eating, he stared at her, probably thinking that she was eating noodles like a cat with a small appetite, a little scratchy and cute.

Su Yu ate half of it, and she couldn't eat it anymore, her love for pasta was limited, and she finally ate so much, it was already the limit.

Huo Ran asked, "Don't eat it?" ”

"Well, I'm full."

"Still don't like pasta?"

She hesitated: "It's much better than before, I didn't take the initiative to eat noodles before, but now I occasionally think that noodles are not bad." ”

Probably mentioned before, the night breeze was gentle and gently blowing, Su Yu was a little in a trance, she put down her chopsticks, and subconsciously pushed the noodles in front of Huo Ran, and thought about subconsciously letting him eat them all as before.

Fortunately, however, she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly restrained the unspoken words.

But she could feel that Huo Ran's scorching gaze burned her face, as if she had seen through her thoughts.

Su Yugang wanted to say, she just wanted him to take it and pour it.

Huo Ran had already picked up her noodles freely, her chopsticks moved slightly, and she ate up the leftover noodles in three or two clicks, and even drank a mouthful of soup.

Su Yu was stunned.

Something drilled out of her heart, slowly took root, and soon it would grow all over her body, and it could no longer be hidden.

Huo Ran finished eating, stacked the two bowls together, raised his eyes, and there was no expression on his face.

Su Yu leaned over, opened her black and white eyes, and approached him, she asked him to get closer.

Huo Ran's eyebrows jumped, but he still got closer.

Su Yu took a tissue and wiped it lightly on his lips.

Her fingertips were soft and warm, brushing like a gentle feather, tickling people's hearts.

*

When Huo Ran went to wash the dishes, Su Yu still sat on a chair in the courtyard, she leaned on the back of the chair, stretched out her legs, stretched out her palms, and covered the moon in front of her eyes, and the moonlight missed something through her fingers.

In the snow, it's not cold.

Only the coolness got into the clothes, making people feel sober.

I'm going home tomorrow, and there's a lot of work to be done.

Huo Ran came out of the kitchen, stood at the threshold, looked at Su Yu's back for a while, and then went into the house to move a few bottles of beer and a few appetizers that he had bought before and had not eaten yet.

"Not cold?" Huo Ran asked.

"It's not cold." Su Yu bent his eyes, "I remember when I first moved to City B, the first time I saw such a big snow, I was so excited that I stood at the door every day to watch the snow, my mother said that I was so excited that my face was red, but the result was that I got a cold wind and started a high fever, although I had a fever, the first thing I woke up was, I still blinked my eyes and wanted to see the snow." ”

Huo Ran snapped, opened the beer, picked it up, raised his head, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he was just about to drink it.

Su Yu swallowed her throat and looked at him with a blank eye, like a poor puppy, she said, "Let me drink some too." ”

Huo Ran opened another bottle of beer, and he smiled: "This is what I bought before, and the food in the house must be clean." ”

He looked sideways: "Do you still like snow now?" ”

"I like it—" she elongated the end, her voice was soft and soft, sweet as a soft marshmallow, "my like, it's hard to change." ”

When the words fell, their hearts beat faster.

A wind blew, blowing the soft hair on the side of Su Yu's face, and falling gently.

Su Yu was unintentional, but Huo Ran was intentional.

His eyes were dark and cold—

What about those who like it? Will there be a change, from the first meeting nine years ago, falling in love seven years ago, separating five years ago, and now reuniting......

No one spoke, only the sound of insects and birds chirping, the light bulbs in the yard were old, the filaments were a little broken, the lights flashed twice, and the light dimmed a little.

Su Yu's chest rose and fell shallowly, and he spoke softly: "Huo Ran, can you tell me about your parents?" ”

Huo Ran's body stiffened for a moment.

His fingers holding the beer slowly tightened, and with great force, the beer can made a harsh "crunch" sound, his lips pursed into a straight line without any arc, and the muscles in his cheeks were a little tense.

Su Yu sat up straight, turned his head, and stared at him seriously with dark eyes: "Huo Ran, I want to know." ”

Huo Ran was silent, his Adam's apple rolled, and his jaw line was slightly cold and hard.

"What do you want to know?"

He asked.

"All."

She replied, the light was dim, but her eyes were bright.

The moonlight slowly obscured its light by the dark clouds, moving, and slowly revealing its outline, continuing to emit a soft silver light.

The figures of the two of them, in the moonlight and on the snow, pulled out two long silhouettes.

Interdependence.

Keep each other company.

There is a sweet fragrance in the wind.
