Winter in the south always blows a gentle cold wind, which is not so bitter. Around the lake in the E'e Cen Mountains, the lake water is still alive and flowing through, but it is a little less agile. Occasionally, you can hear a few birdsongs, hear the footsteps of tourists walking by, and nothing else.

Qiao Shu wore a long white down jacket and low-top boots, tied an off-white scarf, and still tied a high ponytail, walking next to Song Mingsu. The wind was blowing, she was afraid of the cold, but she didn't put her hands in her pockets, because this was a habit of hers, a habit that started when she met Lin Yi. And because Song Mingsu was a soldier, he did not have the habit of putting his hands in his pockets and shrinking his neck.

The bitter cold of winter did not make them succumb to it. They walked around the lake, not in a hurry, the only beauty of winter.

"You've worked hard for you in the past six months, and you've been with me every day, and you've delayed a lot of work, right?" Qiao Shu is very gentle at the moment, not as strong and invulnerable as chasing dreams, and soft-hearted.

"If it weren't for this half a year, we'd probably not have had the opportunity to chat like this today, right? The company has Li Rou to help me, so I don't need to worry about it at all. Song Mingsu spat white gas in his mouth, and his thick eyebrows smiled like the moon.

In an instant, the drizzle came unexpectedly, Song Mingsu took Qiao Shu's hand and ran quickly to the pavilion over there. Qiao Shu completely kept up with his speed, without any effort.

Stopping at the pavilion, Song Mingsu realized that he had run too fast just now. "Are you alright? You're just right, can't you run......"

Qiao Shu smiled and shook his head, looking down at his hand still being held by Song Mingsu, but Song Mingsu did not mean to let go.

"It's too icy." Immediately, Song Mingsu picked up Qiao Shubai's wattle, snorted at him, and kept rubbing it.

Gradually, the hands warmed. Qiao Shu kept his eyes on Song Mingsu's body, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "If I were really a hard-hearted woman, would you persevere?"

"I said that whether you love me or not, I will always love you."

He thought of meeting Qiao Shu in his freshman year of high school. Before that, none of them knew that there was each other in the world. Qiao Shu was outstanding in junior high school, and her high school entrance examination results were also relatively good, but she struggled when she first entered high school, she was unwilling, she arrived at school the earliest every day, and left school the latest, and tried her best to take one more point. Song Mingsu had never seen such a hard-working girl, he seemed to be attracted, attracted by her efforts, and Qiao Shu's unique temperament. But Qiao Shu didn't have much intersection with him, Song Mingsu was thin and short at that time, and he was dark, and he couldn't attract the attention of any girl at all.

"Congratulations to Qiao Shu, a senior one (27) student from our school, for winning the special prize of Yunning Composition Cup."

"Congratulations to Qiao Shu, a senior one (27) student from our school, for winning the first prize in the Youth Painting Competition."

The school radio continuously broadcast Qiao Shu's awards, and Qiao Shu, who was not outstanding in the original, became famous. There was thunderous applause in the classroom of the first (27th) class of high school, Qiao Shu stood up from her position unhurriedly, nodded and bowed slightly to express her gratitude, not arrogant or impatient, she seemed to have expected that she would win the award, and she was not overjoyed at all. Song Mingsu stood in the corner, staring at Qiao Shu directly, he liked her more and more.

has just entered the third year of high school, and everyone is in full swing to review and prepare for the exam. However, Song Mingsu publicly confessed to Qiao Shu at school, Song Mingsu was naturally severely punished by the school, and Qiao Shu was almost implicated.

After graduating from high school, Qiao Shu thought that Song Mingsu was dead.

But no.

"How did you know something happened to me? also used a lot of money to get Ai Ping to dismiss me. This was the question in Qiao Shu's heart, she had already understood Song Mingsu's heart for her, and she shouldn't continue to ask that kind of meaningless and same question.

"After I left the army, I opened up various connections and established a software company. And then the first thing I do, I'm looking for you. It just so happened that a friend in my hospital told me about you, and I knew your personality and contacted Feiyue, so I reached such an agreement with Ai Ping. ”

"Do you know what that dead fat man said at the time? - He said that you are a rare talent, and he would lose too much without you, and he would not be satisfied with giving him 100,000. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that I am worth a lot."

"Yes, 150,000 is less, in my eyes, you are priceless."

Song Mingsu suddenly hugged Qiao Shu's waist, in front of a man who was more than 1.8 meters old, she was extremely short, and she could only look up at him on her tiptoes.

Qiao Shu's eyes were full of surprise, joy, and fear, and his eyes were wide open to look at this man, a man who was deeply infatuated. For the first time in 25 years, she tasted love, sweet, there was someone willing to tolerate her all for free, she was his whole world.

"You don't want that. Even though we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, I don't want to go beyond my bottom line. Even though her little heart was pounding, she still broke free from Song Mingsu's arms. ran to the corner of the pavilion, and suddenly her face was just the color of the red plum, charming and moving.

Song Mingsu also immediately withdrew his hand, like a child who had done something wrong but didn't know what was wrong, scratching his head, but he couldn't get an answer. "It's me who is abrupt."

She bowed her head and kept her smile in her heart, teasing each other with the fingers of both hands. The world seemed to be quiet, Song Mingsu once again quietly looked at the woman who was lazy with sandalwood, he had been experiencing "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good" for seven or eight years, "I can't ask for it, I can't think about it", and now he finally got what he wanted.

Song Mingsu took out a delicate box from his pocket, and when he opened it was a light blue bracelet, he took Qiao Shu's hand and put it on for her. "Perhaps, this is a token of our commitment. In the future, I will give you a better one. ”

Looking at the bracelet in his hand, Qiao Shu lowered his head and smiled. "That's enough."

Long. "It's the New Year, we're going to my grandparents' house, by the way, take a look at my grandparents, would you like to go back with me?" Qiao Shu turned around and raised her head, she was very eager to get the other party's affirmation, she hadn't gone back to see the four elders for a year, they were all eighty or ninety years old, and the current wish was that Qiao Shu would find the prince as soon as possible and have a home.

But he didn't usher in Song Mingsu's immediate affirmation, he hesitated, after all, he had to go home to see his parents. But he was unwilling to give up this opportunity in vain, and the opportunity to promote their relationship further.

Qiao Shu didn't urge him to answer, Shui Lingling's big eyes looked at him, and he was so quiet.

"Good. You came home with me on the first day of the new year. It seems that Qiao Shu begged him to go, he was a little arrogant.

Qiao Shu sneered, and the person in front of him was as cute as a child. Nodding yes.

"After this winter, I will probably go to all parts of the country to participate in Ma Rongshan and art festivals, to earn more or less bonuses, after all, I still owe you 50,000, and I have spent a lot of money on my parents at home for most of the year, don't ask me where I have the confidence to win."

"I'll go with you." Song Mingsu answered instantly, his eyebrows furrowed, he didn't worry about Qiao Shu going out alone, and he also knew what kind of results a long-distance relationship would lead to, not to mention that they had just begun.

"No, you have to help me take care of my parents and teachers during that time, they are all old, and they can't have no one around, especially Teacher Lin, who is the oldest, and Brother Hao is abroad. He looks like he's in great health, and he's holding himself up, but he actually has all kinds of problems. My grandparents and grandparents are also in their nineties, and I haven't done any filial piety, so I hope you can help me spend more time with them. ”

"And you, you have to take care of yourself first, if you encounter something, don't carry it alone, look for Rourou, Jingxue, and Jinyu to help, Jinyu is now an employee of a top 500 company, and can help you more or less." Her expression became serious, people are worried about their mother, and she is worried about the whole family.

It seems to be embarking on an endless road, the fog is shrouded in the front, and I don't know where to go next, hazy, it feels like dawn, and it feels like darkness. The gateway to the unknown.

Song Mingsu still wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak, Qiao Shu had already said it to this point, not only handing over the extremely important things in her heart, but also caring about him. Opened his mouth slightly, and did not speak for a long time. After struggling for a long time, he said:

"If you want to make money, you can go to my company, I don't know how much higher the salary I give you than the prize money you go to the competition, why bother?"

"If I want to go, why wait until today and owe you 50,000? I really don't want to go out and do this, but after all, I want to live independently, but I don't want to do the job of looking at people's faces anymore, I have to deal with those people through these competitions. Her eyes were full of hope, and the light of victory seemed to be already flickering.

Song Mingsu wanted to speak, but Qiao Shu put his right index finger in front of his lips. He shook his head with a smile. "You have to have faith in me, I'm the Qiao Shu you like, if I compromise, won't it be?"

Yes, Qiao Shu, who he likes, is like this, he will not compromise to the death, and stick to his original intention.

Song Mingsu didn't say it anymore.

The rain stopped, and the sky gradually got dark, Qiao Shu took the initiative to take Song Mingsu's hand and walked back to Lin Yi's house.

The temperature of each other enters the palm of each other's hands, and it seems to flow, flowing into the heart and blood.

"Why did you come back?" Jiang Xirong heard a knock on the door and immediately came out of the kitchen to open the door for them.

"It was raining just now, and we stayed in the pavilion for a while." Qiao Shu said as he took off his scarf, took off his coat, and hung it neatly by the door.

"Go over and bake the fire, warm up, don't catch a cold." Jiang Xirong beckoned them over, and then turned into the kitchen again. She and Wang Mushi prepared carefully and methodically in the kitchen.

Walking to the living room, they found that Lin Yi and Qiao Shibin were actually playing Go, in fact, it was not unusual, they had played many times in the past ten years, and each time they were equal.

In the past, Lin Yi was not only an athlete, but also guided many young players to participate in Go competitions and won a lot of awards.

"I see that you two have been playing chess for ten years, and I haven't learned anything at all." Qiao Shu couldn't laugh or cry.

"That means you're stupid!" Qiao Shibin quipped, and walked away again.

Lin Yi took the next step without thinking at all, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, our little Qiao is stupid, it's just a young woman of literature and art." ”

The conversation changed. "It's just that in ancient times, a girl like you was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but fortunately, you were born in modern times."

By the two of them, Qiao Shu stomped his feet like a little girl. "Oops! I can't learn to be sure that interest is not enough, interest is the best teacher. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Yi and Qiao Shibin felt helpless about Qiao Shu's reaction and answered her perfunctorily.

The aroma of the dish wafts out of the kitchen and hooks everyone's stomach. Qiao Shu followed the fragrance and walked to the restaurant, with a satisfied and happy look on his face. The two who were playing chess looked at Qiao Shu like a cat, shook their heads with a smile, put down this difficult game, and followed.

"This is simply a full banquet of the Manchurians! Teacher Jiang, Mom, how can you be so good! Qiao Shu stared at this plate of delicacies, already salivating.

Wang Mushi brought out the last dish and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are all 25 people, how can you still be like a child." ”

"Mom, don't you often say that in your eyes, I will always be a child!"

When Wang Mushi and Jiang Xirong heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and they were already speechless to deal with Qiao Shu's sharp teeth.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, if you don't eat again, Xiao Qiao's saliva is really going to come out!" Lin Yi moved his chopsticks first, and then put some vegetables into Qiao Shu's bowl.

The rest of the people moved their chopsticks one after another, and Qiao Shu took Lin Yi's dish, full of joy and smiles.

This meal is a reunion dinner a year ago, and it is very happy.
