The festive atmosphere at the end of the year is strong. Christmas is connected with New Year's Day, the merchant is decorated red, and when Christmas is over, remove the elk Christmas tree, replace it with a Chinese knot with the word Fu, and even the background color does not need to change, and it is very convenient to switch seamlessly between the two festivals.

I don't know when it became popular for students to give each other apples during Christmas, which means "peace". Shen Qingmeng couldn't laugh or cry, this is obviously a Chinese-style homonym and holiday blessings, how could it be grafted onto Christmas in the West? Apple's "apple" has nothing to do with peace at all.

But complaining is complaining, no matter what, the festival is still festive. So on Christmas Day, Shen Qingmeng had to receive a lot of apples and send out a lot of apples.

Four days after Christmas, it was Shen Qingmeng's birthday. Since the night of the twenty-eighth, Shen Qingmeng has been waiting for news from Ji Xinghe. Even if he has been doing psychological construction for himself, he is very nervous about training, and he has no time to call.

But after all, it was the first birthday after the two of them were together, and if Ji Xinghe didn't say anything, Shen Qingmeng would still be very disappointed.

When Ji Xinghe's phone came in after twelve o'clock, Shen Qingmeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to prove that Ji Xinghe cared about her.

"Mengmeng, happy birthday."

"Thank you, Ah Xing," Shen Qingmeng said with a smile, "The transfer period is over, what is the result?" ”

There was irrepressible excitement in Ji Xinghe's voice: "It's about to be launched, the first mid-list will be announced, and the official expo will be announced on New Year's Day." ”

is not only the mid-laner position, but more importantly, the starter, no wonder Ji Xinghe is so excited.

"When was the first game of the Spring Split? Where is it? Do you have a ticket? ”

"The first show on January 12th, in Nancheng, the ticket has been reserved for you, and it is on the way to express it to you."

Shen Qingmeng calculated, the twelfth was exactly two days before the final exam. After the two-day final exam, Shen Qingmeng will enter the training team on the 17th. The schedule is tight but just staggered, catching up on all the things you don't want to or can't miss.

"Leave me a few more, Xu Shilin and they will definitely go too."

Ji Xinghe avoided answering and said something else: "Mengmeng, your birthday gift will be given to you a while later." ”

Shen Qingmeng was happy that Ji Xinghe got the start of the professional team, and she didn't care about the gifts, she had already received too much of the expensive ones, and it was nothing late.

"It's okay, it's late."

Before they could talk for a few minutes, Ji Xinghe's coach urged him to come over: "Ji Xinghe, are you okay, hurry up, it's time to train, I'm waiting for you." ”

Shen Qingmeng knew that Ji Xinghe had newly joined the team, and there were still many places to run. The spring season is about to start, and the training volume is also very large, so I really can't miss it.

After a few more words, he hung up the phone in the coach's irritable urging.

I thought that Ji Xinghe's late birthday gift was the biggest suspense, but I didn't expect that on the 29th's birthday, Shen Qingmeng received two couriers.

One is the ticket that Ji Xinghe left for her, and there are ten of them. The other is a book, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

This book came inexplicably, the packaging was just an ordinary courier, and the shipping address was a bookstore in Nancheng. It looks like a book I bought online, but the address is in the wrong place. But both the recipient and the phone number are Shen Qingmeng's, so the book was sent to her.

The book is plastic-sealed, and there can't be a strip of paper or anything inside. Shen Qingmeng studied the packaging box for a long time, but he really couldn't tell who the sender was. But flipping through the book, Shen Qingmeng probably guessed who sent it.

Except for Lin Jing, people who know that she has been interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence recently can't pick out such a professional book to give her. I was able to pick professional books to give to her, and I didn't know that she had been interested in them recently.

took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to thank him, but after thinking about it, Lin Jing's temper may just want to give a gift anonymously, so don't break it down.

Christmas is a holiday, but school is not closed. So the festive atmosphere is strong, but there is no celebration. New Year's Day is different, with a full three-day holiday last weekend.

On the 30th, Shen Qingmeng received several groups of New Year's Eve invitations.

Thinking of the dinner party that saw off Ji Xinghe last time, Shen Qingmeng simply made the east, and after asking for opinions, he gathered these waves of people together for New Year's Eve.

So on the night of the 31st, the people who ate together were much more complicated than the last dinner.

Zhu Wei, Yang Li, Tang Xin, and An Qi are a group of people, Xu Shilin, Li Chi, Jiang Zihao are a group of people, Lin Jing, Song Ziyu, Yan Haoran are another group of people, plus a Guo Ling who doesn't know where to count, this table of twelve people is really very lively.

Shen Qingmeng booked a large box at the barbecue restaurant, with twelve people sitting on both sides, and a special chef in the middle was responsible for grilling and slicing and packing.

The next day off, everyone poured some beer, drank wine and ate meat in large chunks.

With wine, food and friends, there is nothing to find fault with on such Chinese New Year's Eve. The only fly in the ointment is that Ji Xinghe is missing.

Because Shen Qingmeng was the east, the first glass of wine toasted her.

Shen Qingmeng drank it all, and everyone laughed and drank the wine in the cup.

"After eating, please go to sing, and then go to the riverside to watch the fireworks, and go home to sleep after watching it, they are still minors, don't be too prodigal."

Everyone laughed and said, "Shen Ye broke the bill." ”

Lin Jing sat next to Shen Qingmeng and asked her softly, "Why do you call you Shen Ye?" ”

Shen Qingmeng sandwiched a piece of mutton, the meat was tender and very delicious.

"Because of my grandfather."

Lin Jing wanted to ask something, but Shen Qingmeng rushed before him and said, "I haven't thanked you for the book, how do you know my birthday?" ”

Immediately blocked Lin Jing's words that he wanted to ask, and he said a little embarrassedly: "This is the best book in machine learning I have seen, and it should be helpful to you." ”

avoided answering Shen Qingmeng's question.

But seeing Yan Haoran today, Shen Qing dreamed of an old thing. At that time, when she and Lin Jing complained that Yan Haoran was a Virgo, Lin Jing said that he had seen Yan Haoran's admission ticket, and he was indeed a Virgo.

"Did you see the ID number of my admission ticket?"

Lin Jing's secret was revealed, so he could only answer stiffly: "You just put it on the table, I just saw it." ”

The ID number is not a secret, and Shen Qingmeng thanked him again: "The book is very helpful to me, thank you for bothering." ”

Lin Jing turned his head and didn't speak.

I didn't know what topic was talked about at the table, Xu Shilin suddenly asked Shen Qingmeng: "Master Shen, how is Brother Ji doing?" ”

When it comes to Ji Xinghe, Shen Qingmeng is very willing to share.

"He entered the JN professional team and started the first game of the spring game on January 12th, in Nancheng, do you want to go with me to watch the game?"

Xu Shilin and several people cheered and asked Shen Qingmeng for tickets.

was going to distribute the tickets to them today, but Shen Qingmeng took out the tickets from his schoolbag.

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "If there are many more, I want to see it too." ”

Ji Xinghe gave a total of ten tickets, and Shen Qingmeng was still worried that he couldn't finish it, so he was naturally willing.

The people at this table, except for Yan Haoran and Song Ziyu, had no intersection with Ji Xinghe at all, and even Lin Jing asked for a ticket.

Shen Qingmeng sent a message to Ji Xinghe: "Brother Ji, what are you doing?" You really had the foresight, I still think you kept too many tickets for ten tickets, and now I almost don't have enough to send them. ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Xinghe replied in seconds: "Eat out with your teammates and read Weibo." ”

Shen Qingmeng clicked on Weibo, and sure enough, JN's official blog had already posted the news that Ji Xinghe had joined.

"New year, new atmosphere, JN new season team dinner. Welcome to the top laner JN.Dau, mid laner, jungler, adcarry, support, substitute jungler, substitute mid laner JN.Qi to become a family, in the new season in order to reach the top. “

Below, in addition to the makeup photos of the seven players and the team logos, there is also a photo of a toast at the table.

Shen Qingmeng clicked on the big picture of Ji Xinghe, which was different from the last small league MVP makeup photo, and it seemed that it had been retaken.

It's still a team outfit with red letters on a black background, this one arm is crossed across the chest, the other arm is bent over the forearm, and the fingers are caressing the chin. The eyes are focused and shining, and the moon studs on the earlobes are also bright and hard to ignore.

In the comments below Weibo, in addition to fans wishing the team good results in the New Year, there are also many fans who came over with Ji Xinghe from the small league.

Click on the image to save it to your phone.

Lin Jing came over and happened to see Ji Xinghe's makeup photos and Shen Qingmeng's saved movements.

"Boyfriend?"

Shen Qingmeng pressed the lock screen button, and the phone screen went dark: "Well, boyfriend." ”

At twelve o'clock, there will be New Year's fireworks by the river.

Because I want to watch the fireworks, the restaurant and KTV that Shen Qingmeng booked are all by the river.

At half past eleven, everyone came out of the KTV and took up a good position by the river. The New Year's fireworks in the south of the city are very cool, and with the light show by the river, there are many people who come to watch.

The wind by the river was very strong, and Shen Qingmeng's hat and scarf were wrapped tightly, and he waited for the bell to ring at twelve o'clock while stomping his feet.

At eleven fifty-five, Shen Qingmeng took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a video request to Ji Xinghe.

It didn't take long to be picked up.

Ji Xinghe's side was pitch black, only the colored light on the screen, hitting his face, with mottled colors.

"Brother Ji, are you still training?"

Ji Xinghe pushed the keyboard in, bent his legs and leaned back in the chair: "I'm playing rank." ”

"Alone?"

"Alone."

"Why are you so dark there?"

Ji Xinghe smiled: "This is a small black house, which is generally used by players who don't play well on the wall here." ”

"Huh? Just announced the starter, and you entered the little black room? ”

"I think the hall is empty."

Shen Qingmeng turned the camera over, and there were still two minutes before twelve o'clock, and all the shops and buildings along the river were turned off to prepare for fireworks and light shows.

The sky and the river in the camera are all pitch black.

"Brother Ji, have you ever seen the New Year's fireworks?"

Ji Xinghe's voice overshadowed all the noise around him, and slowly passed it to Shen Qingmeng from the headphones: "I've seen it before, it's been many years." At that time, I was so young, and when I went back after reading it, I got frostbite. It's windy by the river, so don't catch a cold with a scarf. ”

"Next year, next year, you will come with me to see if it is okay."

"Okay."

Ji Xinghe's word "good" was accompanied by a muffled sound, and a fiery red firework, dragging a long tail, slammed into the sky. The loud sound of the explosion drowned out the cheers of the people by the river.

Countless red afterglows spread out from the sky, like falling meteors, falling to the ground. Before the red color disappeared completely, a second golden firework burst into the sky.

Red, gold, blue, purple, green, all in a variety of colors. After the last one exploded, the sky slowly turned to darkness.

A few seconds later, the sky lit up again, and countless fireworks exploded, forming the shape of a Chinese knot in the air, which lasted for a long time.

The light show on the building also began.

First of all, the development history of Nancheng, from a small village, to a town, to form a city. The city expanded, countless high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and gradually became a world-class metropolis.

This history is used as the opening of the light show every year, and the people along the river have lost interest, just waiting for this period to end so that they can continue to see the novelty of this year.

Shen Qingmeng saw it for the first time. This period of the city's development history is full of interesting to watch.

In the headphones, Ji Xinghe cooperated with the light show and told her about Nancheng and some interesting things when he was a child.

Ji Xinghe's narrative is flat and straightforward, but Shen Qingmeng gradually imagined that Xiao Ji Xinghe and the city are inseparable in such a bland statement.

The lights went out and the fireworks went on again.

Fireworks of various colors explode into the sky like flowers, casting reflections on the sparkling river. For the cold and windy winter, it gives birth to the beautiful scenery of flowers.

"It seems that this year's theme is the sea of flowers, which should be to coincide with the spring garden fair."

The lights also began to project various flowers, and the sparkling lights and fireworks complemented each other. Coupled with the refraction of the river, it seems to be really in a sea of flowers.

The little starlight that the fireworks dispersed also gilded this sea of flowers with a beautiful veil.

Ji Xinghe hit the nail on the head to break the true background significance of this sea of flowers, which is very striking.

Shen Qingmeng couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Ji, I just wanted to sigh with you about this beautiful scenery, but before the words were brewed, you used its political meaning to strangle all my literary rhetoric in the cradle." ”

Ji Xinghe smiled lowly: "Then I'll read it for you?" ”

Without waiting for Shen Qingmeng to answer, Ji Xinghe whispered: "Thousands of trees bloom on the night of the east wind." More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ”

"The moth snow willow is golden, and the laughter is full of dark fragrance." Shen Qingmeng couldn't help but follow him, "Everyone is looking for him thousands of times." Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

When he said "That person is here, in the place where the lights are out", Shen Qingmeng couldn't help but turn his head, hoping to see Ji Xinghe's shadow in the "place where the lights are out".

Ji Xinghe seemed to have thought of this, and said softly: "Mengmeng, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you on New Year's Eve, I'm sorry." ”

Shen Qingmeng turned his head and looked at Ji Xinghe, who was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed on the screen, his eyes were a little red, and he was stunned.
