Chapter 28: New Year's Resolutions
After that day, Chen Yuyao stopped visiting on weekends.
Torrential Rain did not take the initiative to contact him, and he did not take the initiative to contact Torrential Rain.
She puts all her energy into her studies. When he couldn't sleep at night, Rushing Rain took out a thick Oxford dictionary and turned a page at random, from the back to the back. Until my back is sleepy, I continue to sleep.
The results of the winter vacation exams came out, and Torrential Rain returned to the top three in the school.
After the school bar incident, she has been sitting alone in the corner of the classroom.
Torrential Rain didn't move back to the front seat, and she found that it was good to be alone.
On the first day of winter vacation, Zhai Yi asked her and Rosary to visit her home.
"You probably don't know, I've already moved. My mother said, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me invite you to come and sit at home. β
Torrential rain refused without thinking.
Because the winter here is really wet and cold, and the rain is heavy and I am reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, I buy two loaves of bread and a bag of milk after breakfast every day, and go to the city library to study. It wasn't until the museum closed that I packed up my things and went home for dinner.
On the third day of going, I met Zhai Yi by chance.
He nodded at her and motioned for her to sit down. All around, it was surprisingly full, and there were no empty seats.
So she hesitated a little and walked over.
In this case, she also had a choice but to turn around and leave. However, this hurt Zhai Yi's self-esteem too much.
Even if it is based on the points of the previous neighbors, there is no need to avoid him like a snake and scorpion.
After sitting together, Zhai Yi didn't have any extra words, the countdown to the college entrance examination was 120 days, and he was also in full swing reviewing.
As far as Rush Yu knows, Zhai Yi did well in the exam this time, and he was sixth in the whole grade. But it can be seen that he himself is not very satisfied with such results.
At noon, the two took turns to eat.
Zhai Yi asked her to go first, and after she came back after eating something briefly, Zhai Yi got up.
Rushing Rain asked in a low voice: "Didn't you always say before that there is no winter vacation in the third year of high school in the first middle school?" β
"Not this year." Zhai Yi said, "No. 1 Middle School wants to make up for it, but now the new regulations don't allow it to overtake in such corners." β
So the students moved the venue here. No wonder it's so full.
Every day after that, when the rain arrived on the second floor of the library, Zhai Yi had already sat down and entered the state of studying, and would help her secure a seat as usual.
It lasted for nearly half a month, and Zhai Yi suddenly asked her, "What are your plans for tomorrow?" β
The rain was a little inexplicable, and then I thought that tomorrow was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the library would be closed until the sixth day of the new year.
Although the streets have long been lit up, the atmosphere of the New Year in S City is not strong. Many families will leave their relatives before the New Year, and the whole family will go on a trip during the New Year.
Torrential rain didn't realize that the year would be over tomorrow.
"Do you want to come to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Zhai Yi asked.
He guessed she wouldn't go back to her old home.
"Nope." Torrential Rain said, "It's not appropriate. β
Zhai Yi didn't have too many surprises, he knew that the rain would not agree to come down.
Sioux City has always been a "fat winter and thin year", which means that the customs of Wu land regard the winter solstice as more important than the New Year.
The reason why the people of S City value the winter solstice is that it starts from the origin of Wu culture, "Taibo Ben Wu".
Tai Bo and Zhong Yong, as well as Ji Li, were all sons of King Tai of Zhou. King Tai of Zhou intended to pass on the throne to Ji Li, so Tai Bo and Zhong Yong went south to establish Gou Wu and brought the Zhou calendar here.
According to the weekly calendar, the winter solstice is the first day of the new year, so the people of S City regard the winter solstice as the new year, and the eve of the winter solstice is regarded as the Chinese New Year's Eve. So in fact, the people of S City celebrate the winter solstice, mainly on the night of the winter solstice. Although the summer calendar was later changed, as a thousand-year-old city, S City still has the custom of "the winter solstice is as big as the year".
On the night of the winter solstice, the torrential rain was spent alone. What's more, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the eyes of Rapid Rain, the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is no different from other days of the year.
But she clearly has a premonition and an expectation.
So she bought a wave of New Year's goods on the twenty-ninth and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of things. When I got home, I started to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Twelve dishes were made. Once upon a time in Jinxi Town, my grandmother did just that.
The torrential rain has covered everything, and the Spring Festival Gala has only half an hour to start.
She barely turned on the TV in the living room. After tinkering for a long time, it was successfully replaced with a new battery and turned it on.
With the sound, the house no longer seems so empty.
She had a hunch that he would come. With this kind of thought, support yourself and wait.
However, until the Spring Festival Gala was coming to an end, Chen Yuyao did not appear.
Torrential Rain poured herself a glass of red wine and took a sip of it.
At this time, the phone rang suddenly.
She picked it up, and the male voice in her ear was Zhai Yi: "There are still ten minutes, this year is about to pass, what New Year's wishes have you made?" β
Torrential rain does not answer.
Zhai Yi was silent for a moment and said, "I hope to get someone's heart." I want to shelter her from the wind and rain, I want her to be no longer lonely, and I want to give her a home. β
Torrential rain shed tears.
She's not hard-hearted, and because of that, she really doesn't feel worth it. She really doesn't deserve it, Zhai Yi treats her like this.
"My New Year's resolution is to have a home of my own, a family that will never give up on me." Rushing rain rarely said in his heart, "Perhaps, I have never taken 'love' as a thing. Because it's in my nature not to believe in 'love'. β
There was silence over there.
At this time, Rushing Rain heard the door lock ringing, and she opened her mouth into the other end of the phone: "The order of appearance in life is very important. There is no such thing as the right person at the wrong time. I'm sorry, Zhai Yi. β
She hung up.
As soon as he turned around, the door was opened, and Chen Yuyao appeared in front of him with a bag of things.
"Happy New Year." When Chen Yuyao said this, the clock on the TV rang at 12 o'clock.
"Unforgettable last night." Torrential Rain smiled at him.
The rain was about to heat up the food, but Chen Yuyao stopped her, only let her heat up the hot pot and opened the bag she brought: it was Babao duck inside.
The two of them had a night talk around the fireplace.
"What's your New Year's resolution?" Chen Yuyao also asked her this question.
Torrential rain was stunned. Then he said: "I hope that every year for the New Year, you are here." She said as she smiled and went to grab a chopstick bean sprout, "Just like now." β
Chen Yuyao was stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, as long as your husband and children don't mind in the future." I'll go to your house every year to eat. β
The light in the eyes of the torrential rain suddenly dimmed.
Chen Yuyao noticed that the atmosphere had cooled down suddenly, so he said, "You can make more than one New Year's wish. Tell me, what about your other wishes? β
Torrential Rain shook his head, "Don't talk about it, it's boring." β
Chen Yuyao looked at her through the swirling heat, "Wish is an expectation for the future. It may not all come true, but at least it is a good hope. β
"What can't be realized, the more you look forward to it, the more cruel it will be in the end."
"You ......" Chen Yuyao sighed lightly, a little helpless, but he couldn't bear to say anything to her.
"You want to say I'm too precocious?" Rushing Rain stared at him, "But what do I think, you have always only treated me as a child." β
"Huh." Chen Yuyao smiled, reluctant to delve into this topic. But Rushing Rain didn't want to let him go, "Or, tell me, what do you think of meβthis is also a New Year's wish of mine." β
"When I'm a sister?" Rushing rain put down his chopsticks, poured himself another glass of red wine, and took a sip: "I have never regarded you as a brother." Even when you were still calling you Brother Yuyao. β
Chen Yuyao glared at her: "Put down the wine glassβat a young age, what kind of wine to drink." β
"Don't worry about him", Rushing Rain dissatisfied, "Can you face my problem head-on?" β
A helpless look appeared on Chen Yuyao's face again, "Tell me, you said that you never regarded me as a brother." What were you thinking when you first met me? β
"I'm thinking...... How can there be a boy, so good-looking. "Torrential rain is blunt," she said, "better than any boy in the village, like she came out of a book, of course." β
"Which book?" Chen Yuyao asked her, "Is it "Grimm's Fairy Tales" or "Robin Hood"? β
Rushing Rain smiled, "You underestimate me too much." It's the Book of Songs. You know, my grandfather used to be a Chinese teacher and had a certain foundation in Chinese studies. β
She chanted softly: "Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo." There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding, stinging, and stinging. There are bandits and gentlemen, and they must not be ridiculed. β
Chen Yuyao smiled in his eyes and did not speak.
"In the current popular saying, 'Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world'. Hee-hee. "Torrential rain is a little drunk.
"Cheesy." Chen Yuyao's evaluation is concise and clear.
"It's cheesy." Torrential Rain admitted, his face getting redder and redder, but his eyes were shining.
Chen Yuyao snatched the wine glass from her hand, gentle but not refusal. He looked at the torrential rain seriously: "You have imagined me too perfectly, and I am not as good as you think." β
"I know......" Torrential Rain slowly lay down, "You're not a good person......
Chen Yuyao's face darkened, but he heard her say again: "Me is not either." β
"You're a fool." Rushing rain said, "You have taken care of me, but you have not taken action - in the world, is there such a pure relationship of support?" β
"Nonsense!" Chen Yuyao couldn't get angry, "What kind of support?" How did you know about this mess......"
"Can't I be self-taught?" The torrential rain was full of wine, and he smiled red.
Chen Yuyao stood up.
Rushing rain panicked suddenly: "Don't you go...... Chen Yuyao, don't go. Don't leave me alone. Lonely...... I'm also afraid of loneliness...... It's just that I'm more desperate. I can't trust anyone else with all my heart, but you......" she was incoherent and burst into tears.
"I'm not leaving", Chen Yuyao's tone suddenly softened, "I just saw that you were drunk, and I wanted to help you go to the house and lie down." β
"Then you accompany me......" Torrential Rain tugged at his sleeve, "Anyway, I won't let you go." Even if I can't get you, I won't let you go. β
Chen Yuyao couldn't cry or laugh, and got her into the bedroom.
The torrential rain did not stop, and he did not let go, so he had to lie down beside her.
"Strangulation." He said. Torrential rain held him like an octopus.
Chen Yuyao struggled to no avail and gave in again. However, he only held her all night.
Xiaoyu is drunk. He didn't.
