Chapter 4: Heavy Snow (I)

Thousands of words, inexhaustible,

Remember old thoughts.

The night rain is bells, and the love is not easy to come.

His Royal Highness Immortality, in the Huaqing Pool,

Memories are empty.

The brocade book is difficult to support, and Yuehua is also lonely.

March 4, 2007, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There was a blizzard across the country that day, and both the magnitude and intensity of the snowfall and the depth of the snow set a record for the highest meteorological snow cover in the north since 1905. This once-in-a-century blizzard is a first-class blizzard disaster and belongs to the most serious disaster level.

That year, Qiu Se was a freshman, and the report date for the start of the next semester was March 5. Worried that leaving home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would affect her sentimentality, she made a perverted decision - to leave home and go back to school on March 3.

There are 4 people in the dormitory, Qiu Se and Xue Mengzhu are from outside the province, the other two are from the province, Xue Mengzhu's house is the farthest, she said that she will eat Lantern Festival at home before coming back, plus the distance is long, so she has to return to school two days later than Qiu Se. And Momo and Xiaoxiang will not be able to come back until the night of the 4th.

Dragging his suitcase back to his bedroom, Qiu Se began to make his bed and wardrobe, and before he knew it, two hours had passed, and in a sense, working slower might be a good way to pass the time. In fact, Qiu Se really didn't mean it, she was just slow to move, slow to eat, slow to work, and slow to do anything. When everything was cleaned up, Qiu Se sat in the quiet dormitory, really bored.

I don't know when she started to get into the habit of chatting with Jing Xuan when she was bored. She skillfully called up the address book and dialed Jing Xuan's phone: "Hey? ”

"Hey," Jing Xuan quickly answered the phone, "You're back?" There was joy in his voice, like a smile on his face unconsciously.

"Yes! Where are you? Hearing Jing Xuan's voice, Qiu Se was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and the little loneliness that had just emerged instantly disappeared.

"At home." Jing Xuan replied.

Qiu Se likes to chat with Jing Xuan, she likes to listen to Jing Xuan, astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, Buddhism and Taoism, as if there is no topic that he can't pick up, chatting with Jing Xuan is always full of harvest and even unexpected surprises.

"Who is coming back from your dorm?" Jing Xuan then asked.

"Just me." Qiu Se suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

"What about them? When will you be back? ”

"Mengzhu will arrive the day after tomorrow, and Momo and Xiaoxiang will arrive tomorrow night."

"And what do you have for tomorrow?" Jing Xuan asked.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries, and then I'll spend the long night alone and lonely." Qiu Se deliberately said that she was pitiful, she didn't know at that time, this was a naked seduction.

"Then, how about I'll accompany you to go shopping tomorrow, and then we go to the movies? How boring it is to be in the dormitory. Jing Xuan's tone was full of pleasure. A romantic date just went on and so naturally.

The next day, the sky was a little gloomy, and after receiving a call from Jing Xuan, Qiu ran downstairs in a hurry. It was very windy that day, and in the fine snow particles, Jing Xuan was wearing a coffee-colored stand-up collar jacket with the zipper open, and the placket of his clothes was swinging together in the wind.

Qiu Se asked him, "Aren't you cold?" Why don't you zip it up? ”

Jing Xuan smiled and said, "It's not cold, I'll get in the car in a while." The two of them walked side by side in the gale, and when they were almost at the attached middle school, they stopped a taxi and went to the shopping street.

Many years later, when Qiu Se was shopping alone in the supermarket again, he heard a certain song played in the supermarket, and tears suddenly blindfolded him.

Qiu Se bought a lot of things that day, and came out of the supermarket with a large bag and a small bag, and Jing Xuan proposed on a whim to go to the video game city upstairs of the supermarket. Qiu Se timidly said that she had never been to such a place, she was not pretending, and she was really a little scared in the face of unfamiliar things. Jing Xuan wasn't surprised, just smiled and teased her: "Do you have a childhood?" ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Se became curious and decided to go with him to see the style of the video game city.

That day, she saw the basketball machine for the first time, the kind that would later become a must-play for her when she went to the video game city, after all, this one didn't seem to be that difficult......

Too many years have passed, Qiu Se can't remember many details, but he only remembers that he went to watch the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and many years later, the rows of snow-white breasts are still vivid; The song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is even more untouchable. Qiu Se never said to Jing Xuan that it was the first time she watched a movie with a boy alone.

The movie is very long, and when I come out of the Daoli Theater, it is already dark, and the snow outside is falling heavier, and it is white everywhere. Where taxis are usually parked, now there is not a single car; The bus was so crowded with people that it was impossible to get on at all.

When Qiu Se was in trouble, Jing Xuan proposed to go to eat first, maybe the snow would stop after eating, Qiu Se thought so.

At the dinner table, hot rice noodles were boiling in a casserole, and Qiu Se and Jing Xuan were talking and laughing while eating in the mist, like a loving couple. They deliberately eat very slowly, waiting for the snow to stop while eating. But a pot of rice noodles can be eaten to the bottom, and the snow still hasn't stopped, but there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Qiu Se bit his chopsticks and looked out the window. "Looks like the snow won't stop for a while."

Seeing Qiu Se's embarrassed face, Jing Xuan also looked out the window and talked.

"Could it be that we can go back?" Qiu Se raised his eyes, his eyes full of helplessness.

After all, I had to come out of the rice noodle restaurant, and it was the fifteenth day of the first month, and the boss was ready to close early.

In the vast night, the north wind whistled in large snowflakes. Two figures, one tall and one short, carrying a lot of things, looked particularly sad in the snow. Qiu Se began to regret why he bought so many things, but he didn't regret coming out with Jing Xuan at all. It's just that she's worried about where she should go tonight.

At that time, the snow was already very deep, and Qiu Se had already felt the coldness of the snow at his ankles, and there was nowhere to put himself, so he really wanted to cry without tears.

This is what makes Jing Xuan so special—he will never make Qiu Se feel helpless.

"Looks like we're going to find a place to stay around here tonight." When he said this, Jing Xuan was frank and unrestrained, without the slightest obscenity. The reason why I say this is because, at that time, the two were just classmates who had a good relationship, and on a snowy night, the boy proposed to be alone and widowed in the same room, after all, it seemed a bit ...... Oh, yes, Jing Xuan didn't say that he had to live in the same room at that time, maybe Qiu Se himself thought so. Immediately afterwards, Jing Xuan said: "It's too close to the train station here, it's not safe, do you mind if the two of us sleep in the same room?" Originally, Qiu Se didn't mind, and when he said this, he had no opinion.

Qiu Se is not a casual person, but she doesn't know why, she doesn't have the slightest suspicion or defense against Jing Xuan, and she feels very safe with him. But girls still have to be at least reserved, right? She nodded, "It seems like there's no better way." ”

In this way, the two of them found a small hotel nearby, which can be regarded as a place to stay on a snowy night.

It was the first time Qiu Se had spent the night alone with a boy in his 20s, and he had lived in the same room.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 2007 was an unforgettable day for many people, when it snowed heavily - I had never seen such a big snow; For Qiu Se, it was an unforgettable day - two firsts in her life happened on that day, and these two firsts were given to her by Jing Xuan.
