Xu Jinghao put the mobile phone screen on his face, as if this would be the only way to stabilize his mind.

After waiting for two or three minutes, Yu Qicheng replied to her text message: "I just came back from running, is there something wrong?"

"It's fine. Just look at what you're doing. ”

Xu Jinghao edited over, and seeing that he didn't respond again, he simply dialed the phone and waited for two rings, Yu Qicheng's deep voice spread through the line, "Hey." What's wrong?"

"Not much...... Xu Jing replied with his phone in his hand.

She just wanted to talk to him and hear his voice.

There was a sound of footsteps over there, and Xu Jinghao could even imagine him stepping on the ground in slippers, and asked, "Little uncle, have you had breakfast?"

"I'm getting ready to eat. Yu Qicheng replied.

"Oh, I haven't eaten yet. ”

"Let's go have breakfast. ”

Xu Jing responded, and then asked, "Are we still going to practice today?"

"Tomorrow, something happens today. Yu Qicheng thought for a moment and told her.

"I see. Xu Jing's tone was gentle.

Over there, when Yu Qicheng was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly stopped himself when she heard her, so he had to ask her if there was anything else.

Xu Jinghao wrapped her knees hard, the mobile phone was tightly pressed to her ears, thinking of the dream she had just had, she hesitated and asked, "Little uncle, will you ignore me one day?"

"Why do you ask that?" Yu Qicheng asked rhetorically after hearing this.

"No reason, I just want to know. Xu Jinghao clenched her phone, "You have a ...... one day Will you ignore me?"

The young girl's voice was cautious with tentative caution, mixed with a hint of trepidation.

Yu Qicheng was silent for a long time, and replied in a deep voice, "No." ”

Xu Jinghao put down the phone and slowly exhaled the breath held in his chest.

Hearing his last two words, her mind gradually returned, and her internal organs gradually returned to their places.

In the afternoon, Lin House.

After Xu Jinghao hung up his phone in the morning, he received a call from Mr. Lin, and learned that she was on vacation after the exam, so he specially asked and asked her to go to the house to talk for a while.

She deliberately had lunch at home before taking a taxi.

Retrieving the change from the master, Xu Jing walked to the courtyard and found the jeep parked there.

She was stunned, then quickened her pace and walked towards the villa.

Dealing with the people who came forward to greet them perfunctorily, she went upstairs directly after asking, and Yu Qicheng's tall figure just came out of the old man's room, and the two met head-on.

Xu Jinghao walked up to him, squinted and asked, "Didn't you say that there was something today?"

"Well, there's a meeting in the afternoon. Yu Qicheng replied in a deep voice, "Your grandfather called and asked me to come over for lunch." ”

"Then you're leaving now?" Xu Jinghao noticed the car keys in his hand.

"Hmm. Yu Qicheng nodded.

"Oh, I just came to see Grandpa. She nodded her head and followed.

"In the room, you go. Yu Qicheng turned around and signaled, and said that he was about to step forward and continue walking.

Xu Jinghao stopped him and asked briskly, "Little uncle, will we continue to practice tomorrow?"

"Afternoon. Yu Qicheng said.

"Okay!" Xu Jing laughed at Mimi, "Then I'll wait for your call tomorrow!"

Yu Qicheng answered a monosyllable in a deep voice, and walked towards the stairs with the car keys.

She didn't go to the old man's room immediately, but stood where she was, turned her head, and watched greedily as his tall back left step by step, until the footsteps disappeared and she couldn't hear it.

"It's quiet. ”

Suddenly, there was a calm sound.

Xu Jing was so excited, turned around and shouted, "Ah, grandpa!"

"Why are you standing in the corridor and not entering the house?" asked Old Man Lin standing at the door of the bedroom.

"I'm about to enter!" Xu Jing stepped forward quickly.

Helping the old man back to the room, Xu Jinghao moved a small bench and sat next to him as usual.

Noticing the old man's gaze sweeping down from time to time, she couldn't help but look up and ask, "Grandpa, why do you keep looking at me and not talking?"

"I just thought, my little Jinghao is going to graduate from her senior year next year, time flies so fast! When I first met you, you were so old, and when I came to the front, you were so scared that you stepped back with your hands behind your back......"

The old man was talking about when her parents had just been in a car accident.

She was the only survivor of the crash, but she lost both of her parents at the same time, and she curled up in a chair in the hospital hallway, feeling strange to anyone, even her grandfather, who had a loving smile at the time.

The old man raised his hand to compare her height as he spoke, and Xu Jing couldn't help but smile.

The old man suddenly changed his words and asked, "You haven't had a boyfriend yet?"

"Not yet. Xu Jinghao didn't expect the old man to ask like this, and replied shyly.

"That'...... Do you have a favorite boy?" The old man paused and asked, "Don't be shy, like a little girl of your age, it's normal to fall in love, and grandpa is very supportive!"

Xu Jinghao shook his head, "Not yet." ”

She doesn't have a boy she likes, but she has a man she likes.

The old man stared at her with a kind smile, "While there is still half a semester to graduate, don't patronize academic matters, if there is a suitable boy, just take a look at ......"

Time flies, the morning before New Year's Day.

A pair of sisters got off the bus at the arrival station and crossed the street towards the opposite mall.

Xu Jingyi, who was wearing an ear bag, yawned again and again along the way, with a reluctant expression on her face, "Sister, I haven't woken up yet, I was dragged by you to go shopping, what do you want to buy?"

"It's half past ten, and I haven't woken up yet!" Xu Jinghao scolded while looking at the signal light.

"It's hard to have a holiday on New Year's Day, so I can't sleep until I wake up naturally!" Xu Jingyi retorted dissatisfiedly.

"It's not bad for these two days, in another ten days, you won't have a winter vacation!" Xu Jing eased her tone.

Xu Jingyi reluctantly accepted, followed her into the mall, walked upstairs and downstairs, and asked curiously, "Sister, you haven't said what you want to buy?"

"A gift for someone else. Xu Jinghao replied slowly.

"Gifts?" Xu Jingyi asked puzzled, "New Year's gifts?"

"No, a birthday present. She shook her head in correction.

"Birthday gifts, is it for men and women?" Xu Jingyi was interested when she heard this.

Xu Jing glared at her sister angrily and said, "Do I still need you to come with me!"

"Who, who?" Xu Jingyi gossiped instantly.

"You don't care who it is, just help me come out with something!" Xu Jinghao didn't say it directly, just prevaricated.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, I know who it is!" Xu Jingyi pouted, with an expression that had already seen through it. But he still seriously helped her to get up, "If you give a gift to a man, in addition to clothes and belts, it is usually gloves and scarves, right?"

"Then let's talk about it later!" Xu Jing thought about it and said.

"Oh yes, there's also a lighter!" Xu Jingyi suddenly thought of and whispered, "The one that is necessary for a man is a lighter!

Lighter......

Xu Jing thought of him smoking.

It's very suitable for him, it's very practical, and it has that special meaning.

Xu Jingyi actually casually said that she had a choice, and was dragged to the counter selling lighters, and asked uncertainly, "Sister, are you really going to give him this?"

Xu Jinghao didn't answer, but walked in without hesitation.

Coming out of the mall, the two did not return empty-handed.

Xu Jinghao took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and said to his sister, "Jingyi, I have to go to practice driving in the afternoon, he will come to pick me up in a while, you go home first, you help me hold the things first, don't lose it!"

"You're a pure unloader and donkey! I've been with you for so long, and you've left me like that!"

Xu Jingyi immediately protested against her excesses, dealt with a hamburger for lunch, and finally didn't even sit in the car.

"I'll reimburse you for the taxi fare?" Xu Jinghao pulled her sister to the side of the road, stopped a taxi and stuffed it directly, and didn't forget to advise, "Pay attention to my things, don't lose them!"

"Got it!" Xu Jingyi pouted.

Sending off her sister Xu Jingyi, she ran back to the mall and waited.

More than ten minutes later, when the mobile phone rang, a jeep with a military license plate was also driving in sight.

Xu Jinghao hung up the phone and ran over, got into the car and fastened his seat belt, and the two went to the checkpoint where they usually practiced.

After several days of intensive contact, she has now basically mastered the content of subject 2 and has been recognized by Yu Qicheng as a coach.

This short period of learning to drive is the best in Xu Jinghao's memory.

Because the two can see each other almost every day, they spend a lot of time alone, in the same small space.

The pickup truck stopped at the left side, Yu Qicheng looked at the reversing mirror before and after, and urged with satisfaction, "Next time, slightly turn the steering wheel half a circle to the right, so as not to tilt the car." ”

"Well, I see!" Xu Jing nodded.

"It's almost time, so let's get here today. Yu Qicheng looked at his watch.

"Okay. Xu Jing obediently extinguished the car.

Yu Qicheng watched her skillfully hang in neutral, pulled up the handbrake, pulled out the car key, and said, "Tomorrow's New Year's Day, I won't practice for the next two days." ”

"I'm going to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and when I come back, take some time before Chinese New Year's Eve and take you to practice on the road, that's easier, don't worry too much." ”

"Little uncle, are you going to Beijing the day after tomorrow?"

Xu Jinghao listened to the question, he had listened to the conversation between him and Old Man Lin before, and knew that he was going to the Beijing Military Region.

"Well, the plane in the morning. Yu Qicheng muttered.

"Tomorrow and New Year's Day will be at home...... Xu Jing muttered, and then asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?

"I should have dinner with a few comrades. Yu Qicheng thought for a moment and replied.

Xu Jing looked at him and hurriedly asked, "Then when you arrive, can you take the time to see me?"

"Take a look. Yu Qicheng groaned and said.

After New Year's Day, the atmosphere of the New Year is still overflowing.

After experiencing the banquet that the Yu family held for him during the day, in the evening, Yu Qicheng drove the car to the door of a hotel, threw the car key to the doorman, and took out the ringing mobile phone.

"Hey, little uncle. ”

At the end of the line, a soft female voice came.

Yu Qicheng walked towards the hotel, "Hmm." ”

"Have you eaten with your comrades now?" asked Xu Jinghao.

"I was about to enter the hotel. Yu Qicheng replied.

"When you're done eating, will you meet me?" Xu Jing asked him over there after listening to it.

She had mentioned it before, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" he asked her rhetorically.

"Something's wrong!" Xu Jinghao's tone was sure.

When Yu Qicheng heard this, he raised his cuffs and looked at the watch hand and said, "It will take a little longer for me here, if it's too late, you don't have to wait, if it's not an important matter, I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

"I know, you eat first!"

Yu Qicheng looked at the phone that he hung up in a hurry and shook his head.

followed the lobby manager to the box on the second floor, and many of his comrades-in-arms who celebrated him had already come, and it was lively.

These people usually have a habit of suppressing in the army, and they don't miss the opportunity after they come out, not to mention that today's day is special, after eating in the restaurant, they went to the club in a big way.

K singing as the background, each tough guy has a bottle of wine in his hand, and the excitement continues.

"Come on, come on, let's wish Qi Cheng a happy birthday again!"

I don't know who it was, but he stood up again, and everyone clinked glasses at him.

Yu Qicheng tugged at the corners of his lips, he was thirty-four years old after this New Year, and he didn't feel anything about birthdays, but he was just one year older.

Because he is the protagonist today, he will inevitably be respected, especially with these comrades-in-arms, and he has already drunk a lot of laughter.

Seeing that someone wanted to respect himself again, Yu Qicheng made an excuse, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Half an hour later, he returned to the private room, he was already drunk, staggering and without image, Feng Liyun, as the wife of his comrade-in-arms, is also a friend, so he will naturally attend this kind of occasion.

Seeing him come back, Feng Liyun said to him, "Qi Cheng, your mobile phone rang just now, but it seems to be a text message." ”

When Yu Qicheng heard this, he took out the mobile phone in his coat pocket, and there were indeed two unread text messages on it.

"Little uncle, I'm waiting for you at McDonald's by the river!"

It was only three seconds later, and the second piece of content was sent immediately after, for fear that it would delay his tone, "Don't worry, just wait until you're done!" [smiley]"

Yu Qicheng didn't reply, put the phone back, and deliberately looked at the time.

It's half past ten.

Just thinking of the last time the silly girl fell asleep at the entrance of the armed department, this time she should not be able to wait for him to come home, frowned, but picked up the coat again, and looked around.

Feng Liyun saw his intentions and said with a smile, "Qi Cheng, you have to leave in advance, let them drink slowly!"

Yu Qicheng couldn't drive anymore after drinking, and he didn't wait for the substitute driver to come, so he went directly to the side of the road and stopped a taxi.

When he arrived at McDonald's by the river, he got out of the car, and before he could walk in, he saw a young girl lying on the table on the window, with her ponytail hanging to one side.

It's the same as last time, and people can't bear to wake up.

Yu Qicheng took out a cigarette, stood outside and smoked it, and when he smoked the last cigarette butt, he walked in after twisting it.

Vaguely hearing the table being knocked, Xu Jing raised her head in a daze, saw him coming, and yawned big, "Little uncle, are you done?"

"Hmm. Yu Qicheng nodded, "Say, what are you looking for me?"

"Let's go out first!" Xu Jinghao stood up, still carrying a big bag in his hand.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Yu Qicheng naturally noticed it and asked with a frown.

"You'll know in a while!" Xu Jinghao had a mysterious expression on his face, and the leader walked out of the fast food restaurant and walked towards the most crowded place by the river.

This is the place where the ice city is famous, and in winter, when the river freezes, many people will laugh and play on it.

In the distance, the river bridge winds into a sea of lights, and there are all kinds of vendors selling toys on the river, as well as people wearing doll costumes distributing Kong Ming lanterns, all of which are lively scenes.

Finding an excellent position, Xu Jinghao squatted down and poured out the contents of the bag.

After Yu Qicheng saw what was inside, he asked uncertainly, "You said that if you want to see me, you are looking for me to set off fireworks?"

"Uh-huh!" Xu Jing looked up with a smile in amusement.

Yu Qicheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at the pile of fireworks sticks, the corners of his lips twitched, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

He thought that there was something, he had to wait for him to meet, it turned out to be a child's play, and it was the most boring kind, the long one burned from beginning to end, and the silver light flashed to the end in more than ten seconds.

Xu Jinghao took a firework stick and stood up, not lighting it immediately, but with a twisted expression.

Reach out to him with the hand that has always been hidden behind him, and slowly spread it out, with a lighter in the palm of his hand.

The pure black color, black to shiny, without any patterns, she felt that it suited him very well when she saw it for the first time.

"Happy Birthday!"

Xu Jinghao met his eyes and grinned.

Touching his surprised gaze, she explained shyly, "Last time I had appendicitis surgery, the nurse gave me your ID card, so ......"

When Yu Qicheng heard this, he was stunned, looking at the lighter in her palm, and then he realized that she wanted to see him and put those boring fireworks sticks, just to celebrate his birthday.

"This lighter is not expensive, and I also inked a discount with the clerk, which is only more than 200 yuan. I haven't made any money yet, and I still owe you money, I can't afford things that are too expensive, I don't know if you love it......"

Xu Jinghao said in the end, a little cramped and a little apprehensive.

Yu Qicheng picked up the lighter from her palm and hooked her thin lips, "I accepted it, thank you." ”

"Do you like it?" asked Xu Jinghao happily.

"Not bad. Yu Qicheng tossed between his fingers.

With a flick, the blue-purple flame ignited with a "poof", and he lit the fireworks stick in his hand for her.

Xu Jinghao took several in each hand, and forced a few in his hand, like other people on the river, dancing and playing in circles, giggling at the silver firelight flying.

Yu Qicheng just held it silently, his eyes narrowed.

Looking at the girl with fresh eyebrows, she shines in the silver sparks, and even the halo is young, and she is full of fireworks in the world.

Obviously it was just a thin silver fire, but somehow, at this moment, Yu Qicheng felt that he had seen the unforgettable fire tree silver flower in this life, just like at the beginning, he stared at the tear mole under her eyelid.

Xu Jinghao saw that he was always standing still, and stepped forward to agitate, "Little uncle, you play with me!"

Clean apricot eyes, black and white, looking at him with such a distraction-free focus.

Two soft lips, one closed when speaking, arouse the urge to kiss Fangze......

Maybe it was because of the wine, the strength of the wine came up faintly, and the emotions in his eyes burned brighter, Yu Qicheng had the iron cage of the giant beast in his heart, and he was staggered by some force.

Before the sanity is gone, the body is already conscious.

Xu Jinghao only felt that the black shadow in front of him was approaching, and then, his lips were hot.

He kissed her.
