Early in the morning, Tao Ye was still asleep and was woken up by Xiao Ting, who was already ready to stand in front of the bed.

Tao Ye asked sleepily: "What are you doing, what time is it?" ”

"Hurry up and get up, didn't you say you were going to the temple to burn incense?"

"Gee, I'll just make a joke." Tao Ye stayed on the bed and refused to get up.

Xiaoting said very seriously: "That's not good, my mother said that there is such a thing as burning incense, and if you say it, you have to go, otherwise it's not good." Hurry up. ”

Xiao Ting said and lifted Tao Ye's quilt.

。。。

Lama Temple, in front of the majestic Daxiong Treasure Hall, the huge incense burner is full of lit incense, and the cigarette smoke is curling.

Xiao Ting and Tao Ye stood behind the incense burner, each holding three incense sticks in their hands, facing the direction of the main hall, Xiao Ting closed her eyes and prayed, reciting something with a reverent face, Tao Ye looked around and didn't pay attention enough, and couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Xiao Ting's appearance. After Xiao Ting finished silently, she bowed three times in the direction of the main hall reverently, Tao Ye couldn't help but smile, and also bowed three times in the same way as Xiao Ting.

Xiaoting and Tao Ye inserted incense into the incense burner one after another.

Tao Ye asked Xiaoting: "What wish did you make?" ”

"You can't say it, and if you say it, it won't work."

"If you don't say it, how can the Bodhisattva hear it, do you know what I have promised?"

"What did you want?"

"I made a wish that the roast duck would not be sold for a while."

Xiaoting was so anxious that she stomped her foot, "Oh, you don't believe it, but you can't talk nonsense, otherwise it's really bad." ”

Tao Ye disagreed, "You're a little too superstitious." ”

There is a merit box set up in the temple next to the main hall, and there is a merit book on the table next to it, and a pilgrim who has donated merit is writing his name and the amount of donation on the book, after writing, the monk on the side gave him a string of Buddhist beads bracelet, and the pilgrim took it and folded his hands to express his gratitude.

Xiao Ting took out her wallet from her pocket, Tao Ye saw it, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ting to pull it away, and said in his mouth, "Let's go, let's go, what are you going to do?" ”

Xiaoting struggled, "Oh, don't drag me." ”

Tao Ye joked, "The money to go back and eat roast duck is not enough." ”

"Don't make a fuss."

Xiao Ting still broke free of Tao Ye, ran to the merit box and stuffed twenty yuan into it, and bowed to the master with her hands together, and ran away without writing her name in the merit book. Xiaoting caught up with Tao Ye, and the two walked outside the temple with a smile and a smile.

"Do you really want to eat roast duck?" Xiaoting asked.

"Yes, I know a shop that is delicious and cheap. Last night I dreamed of ducks, and dried duck in salted water, mustard duck paws, do you think you can smell it in your dreams? ”

"I don't know, my dreams are all forgotten when I wake up."

"I'm sure I smelled mustard in my dream, and it was yellow mustard."

。。。

At noon, the lively and noisy roast duck restaurant was full, and there were many people crowded into the narrow front hall waiting for seats, Tao Ye and Xiaoting crowded to the front desk.

Tao Ye said to the foreman: "Take a number." ”

The foreman didn't give Tao Ye a number right away, but asked the back kitchen a few words through the headset, and then asked Tao Ye: "Sir, do you eat stir-fried vegetables or roast duck?" ”

"Of course I eat roast duck, stir-fry also eat, and mustard duck paw salted duck or something, do you want to order first?"

"I'm sorry sir, but the ducks are all sold out at noon."

"It's sold out, isn't it, what time is it?" Tao Ye looked at the foreman helplessly.

"I'm sorry sir, there are more guests today, and there are always duck paws and dried duck in salted water." The waiter patiently explained.

"Then you have to eat it with roast duck, what's the point of a single order."

"I'm really sorry, the roast duck is sold out, or you can come back in the evening."

Xiao Ting looked at Tao Ye with a sneer, Tao Ye was still working hard unwillingly.

"Then do you have anything you can't wait for, gone, and the number is invalid?"

"I'm sorry sir, not yet."

Tao Ye looked at the customers around him who were waiting for a seat, and said to himself: "Yes, it seems that the Bodhisattva also has times when he is not working." ”

The two of them walked out of the roast duck shop, Tao Ye looked regretful, and muttered: "It's only a few o'clock, and the duck will be sold out." ”

Xiao Ting deliberately gloated and said, "Who let you talk nonsense in the temple just now!" ”

"What did I say?"

"Didn't you make a wish to the Bodhisattva not to sell the roast duck, it's too unserious, you are called disrespectful, and the Bodhisattva will definitely be annoyed."

"You and I are so stupid, eating and drinking Lazar are such mundane things that really trouble the Bodhisattva and amuse you."

"I hate you" Xiaoting punched Tao Ye, "Why don't you go to eat hot pot, the New Year must be prosperous." ”

"I'm going to eat hot pot again... Forget it, if you don't eat it, maybe at the beginning of the new year, the Bodhisattva wants us to have a good time. ”

"Where to go? I'm hungry. ”

"Leave it alone, come with me."

"Tell me where to go first, otherwise I won't have the strength to go." Xiaoting stood still and made an unhappy look.

"You'll know when you get there."

Tao Ye ignored Xiao Ting and walked forward, Xiao Ting hurriedly took two steps to keep up with Tao Ye and grabbed Tao Ye's arm.

。。。

In the Summer Palace in the middle of winter, Kunming Lake is frozen with thick ice, the sky is exceptionally blue, and the bright sunlight shines on the smooth ice, reflecting the dazzling light. Tao Ye and Xiao Ting entered the garden from the southernmost Ruyi Gate, and walked along the lake, Xiao Ting held two cups of coffee in her hands, Tao Ye's down jacket was bulging, and she seemed to be carrying something in her arms.

The two found a bench in the best position by the lake and sat down, Xiaoting carefully put the coffee on the chair, Tao Ye unzipped the down jacket, took out a bag of KFC takeaway from his arms, he opened the paper bag, took out a hamburger and handed it to Xiaoting.

"Eat it, it's still hot, are you cold?"

Xiaoting took the hamburger, "It's not cold, the sun is so good, there is no wind, and the sun is warm." ”

Tao Ye took out another hamburger, opened the wrapper, handed it to his mouth and took a big bite.

"It's delicious, roast duck to Kentucky chicken, it's all poultry, it's not bad. And the fries... ”

Tao Ye took out two fries and handed them to Xiao Ting's mouth, Xiao Ting opened her mouth to bite it, and then swallowed it into her mouth like swallowing noodles.

"The key is that this place is awesome, the royal garden." Tao Ye said proudly and contentedly.

"yes, how could you have imagined to be here." Xiaoting was also in high spirits.

"The Bodhisattva wants us to be good!"

Tao Ye took a big sip of coffee, and Xiaoting also picked up the coffee cup.

"Here, let's do one."

The two gently bumped into each other with their coffee cups and said loudly together, "Happy New Year!" ”

Xiaoting said: "I wish both of us a safe and smooth New Year." ”

"It is a must, and everything comes true, especially you, you must succeed in the art exam."

The two of them collided with each other again, and Xiaoting shouted, "Ye... ”

The sun was dazzling, and they had to squint their eyes, and the two of them ate while enjoying the winter scenery of the Summer Palace. From the place where they sit, they can see the seventeen-hole bridge and the west embankment on the opposite bank, and they can also look at the West Mountain in the distance, the sky is clear, and the pagoda on the West Mountain and Yuquan Mountain in the distance are clearly visible.

"Have you ever been to the Summer Palace before?" Tao Ye asked Xiaoting.

"When I was in elementary school, my parents brought me here, and they even rowed in the lake, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful in winter."

"Did you sing 'Let's Swing the Sculls'?"

"Sing, my dad has to let me sing, how do you know?"

"Singing both, I sang it when I was a child, the standard for elementary school students rowing, is there a photo?"

"Yes, at home."

"Go back and show me what you were like when you were a kid."

"I was so funny when I was a kid, my dad said that I always had a serious face when I took pictures, and I didn't laugh no matter how funny I was."

"Are you a class cadre? How many bars? ”

"Brigade Committee, three ways to carry it. Unlike you, you've never been a cadre on duty. ”

"Oh, okay, you remember that."

"That's right, I'm so concerned about your business."

There were many people playing on the ice, bursting with laughter, and Tao Ye looked at the bright ice in a daze.

"What do you want?"

"When I was a child, I could skate on the ice, and I could also tie fish, and I carved a hole in the ice, and after a while, a fish would come out, and I would prick a nail with a hammer... It's been a long time. ”

Tao Ye's gaze was a little solemn, and Xiao Ting looked at Tao Ye with concern.

"I don't see it, you're still quite nostalgic."

Tao Ye felt Xiao Ting's gaze, and Xiao Ting said again: "Then wait for spring, let's row a boat and sing the sculls together." ”

"Okay, let's pretend to be tender again."

The two people carefully came down from the shore, supported each other and walked on the ice of Kunming Lake, and walked to the center of the lake. It is very close to the Seventeen Holes Bridge, and the eyes cross the Seventeen Holes Bridge, looking at Wanshou Mountain and the promenade.

Tao Ye skated on the ice, and after sliding out of a distance, he stopped, waiting for Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting also slid over, screaming and rushing into Tao Ye's arms, Tao Ye hugged Xiao Ting.

Tao Ye held his mobile phone, and the two of them took a selfie together, smiling brightly.

Xiaoting danced as she wanted on the ice, her movements were light and her body was graceful, but her steps were careful, worried about slipping. Tao Ye took a video of Xiaoting with his mobile phone on the side, constantly changing the angle and distance, sometimes closer, sometimes farther away, the feeling of human flesh Steadicam.

At dusk, two people snuggled up to each other and stood on the Seventeen-hole Bridge to watch the sunset, and the fiery red sunset slowly fell into the West Mountain like a huge fireball. The sky is getting dark, the twilight is heavy, and the whole garden is even more scarce. The wind was blowing, and a few magpies chirped from time to time in the empty sky, which became more and more cold and vast.

Tao Ye looked at Xiao Ting with a side face, and Xiao Ting looked at the sunset with an intoxicated face, not knowing what she was thinking. Xiao Ting's cheeks were blown red by the cold wind, and Tao Ye's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable feeling, like pity, but not all. He couldn't help but suddenly kiss Xiao Ting and kissed Xiao Ting's cold lips, Xiao Ting was "woken up" from her intoxication and responded to Tao Ye. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two leaned on the railing of the lion's head on the seventeen-hole bridge and kissed for a long time before parting.

Xiaoting suddenly said out of nowhere: "Let's quarrel." ”

Tao Ye was puzzled, "What do you mean, why are you arguing." ”

"We're so nice, I'm a little scared!"

"This line is good, not bad, I'll write it down in a while."

Xiaoting was not biased by Tao Ye's deliberate ridicule, and suddenly asked again: "Then you say, when did you fall in love with me?" ”

Tao Ye said decisively: "Now! ”

"I knew it!"

"Know what?"

"I know you didn't really fall in love with me at first, you just liked it."

"Why, I showed a flaw somewhere, and you found out."

"How obvious, in fact, you were very resistant to me living with you at first, and you always wanted to drive me away."

"I'm a slow person, and I'm used to being alone."

"Excuses! The first night I stayed with you, I hugged you and said 'I love you', and you pretended to sleep and ignored me. ”

Tao Ye deliberately pretended to be stupid, "Oh, you're talking about this again." Forget it, such a beautiful scene, let's not talk about this kind of mundane thing. ”

Xiaoting didn't give up, "Then are you in love with me as a person, or are you in love with the feeling we are experiencing together." ”

"Both! There's no way to separate this. ”

"Then you say...

"Say what?"

"Say you love me."

"Oh, can we not be so sour."

Xiaoting persistently, "No, I must say, I've said it all." ”

Xiao Ting looked at Tao Ye seriously, Tao Ye mustered up his courage, hesitated again and again, and suddenly hugged Xiao Ting into his arms, and whispered "I love you" in Xiao Ting's ear, Xiao Ting buried her head on Tao Ye's shoulder, and her face bloomed with happiness.

。。。

In the subway car, Tao Ye and Xiao Ting sat on the seats, Tao Ye played the game with his mobile phone, and Xiao Ting snuggled up to Tao Ye, watching the progress of the game boredly. Xiao Ting's mobile phone rang, a text message came in, Xiao Ting picked up the phone and looked at it, hesitating whether to reply, she glanced at Tao Ye, Tao Ye was playing the game intently, not noticing her.

In the corridor, Tao Ye and Xiaoting climbed the stairs, both of them were tired. Xiaoting walked in front, walked to the door of the house, took out the key, and didn't know why she first twisted the handle of the security door, and the security door opened.

Tao Ye asked strangely: "Did you forget to lock the door when you left?" ”

Xiao Ting didn't answer him, and used the key to open the door inside. Xiaoting deliberately let Tao Ye go in first, and closed the door in the back. Tao Ye walked into the small living room and walked to the door of the room, the lamp was on in the room, and Tao Ye suddenly found that there was a man sitting on the sofa that was put away, looking at himself, it turned out to be his father who had long been out of contact.

Tao Ye saw his father suddenly appear in his house, he froze in surprise, Tao Ye's father slowly stood up from the sofa, took a small step forward, and shouted: "Tao Ye... ”

Tao Ye came to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ting, and said in a cold tone, "You go out for a while first." ”

Xiaoting already felt that the atmosphere was awkward and tense, and she became more and more uneasy about the "big drama" of the reunion of father and son that she had matched, so she quickly slipped away.

Xiaoting walked out of the door of the building, turned around and looked upstairs, her face was full of worry, she stood under the street lamp not far from the door of the building and boredly swiped her mobile phone, and glanced upstairs from time to time.

After a while, Xiao Ting felt a little cold, and when she saw Tao Ye's father coming out of the building, his face was gloomy, as if his heart was full of depression that he couldn't vent. He didn't say anything to Xiaoting, just said "thank you", and then left quickly. Xiao Ting looked at the back of Tao Ye's father leaving, Tao Ye's father walked out for a distance and suddenly stopped, turned back and walked in front of Xiao Ting.

Tao Ye's father said to Xiaoting in a pleading tone: "You persuade him for me, the house must not be sold, this is what his grandmother left him, after selling him, he will really have no fixed residence, please tell him well, I said that he refused to listen." ”

Xiaoting nodded hurriedly, "Mmmm, I'll tell him." How do you know he's going to sell a house? ”

Tao Ye's father said indignantly: "The intermediary called me!" Tao Ye is too mixed, isn't this a loser! ”

"Don't worry too much about him, he's doing photography very well now, this is what he likes to do, he's quite capable."

Xiaoting tried to comfort Tao Ye's father, using some very "adult" words.

Tao Ye's father sighed, "What kind of serious job is this, it's not stable at all, he doesn't even have a college diploma, and he is about to run for 30, what can I do in the future!" ”

After Tao Ye's father finished speaking, he sighed deeply and left.

Xiao Ting walked up to the sixth floor and walked to the door of the house, the security door was wide open, the door inside was locked, and Tao Ye's angry scream suddenly came from the room, followed by a crackling sound. Xiaoting was frightened, standing outside the door and not daring to squeak, listened for a while, and heard that there was no movement in the room, so she knocked lightly on the door a few times.

Tao Ye walked over and opened the door, with a gloomy face, ignoring Xiaoting or saying anything, turning around and going back to the room. Xiaoting closed the door and walked in cautiously.

Tao Ye should have thrown a lot of DVDs and books on the ground just now, which made him seem to regain his composure, and put them on the shelves one by one, knowing that Xiao Ting was looking at him behind him, and he didn't care about Xiao Ting.

Xiaoting asked softly, "Why did your dad leave so quickly?" ”

Tao Ye said in a cold tone: "Are you idle and have nothing to do?" ”

Xiaoting was aggrieved and wanted to explain: "I didn't want to... ”

Tao Ye suddenly and rudely interrupted Xiao Ting's defense, and angrily scolded Xiao Ting: "Okay, stop, you don't need to be overflowing with love here." ”

Xiao Ting's words were choked back, and she was unwilling to think about it.

"It's not like you didn't tell me anything, why did you hide yourself so deeply!"

Tao Ye glanced at Xiao Ting coldly, but didn't say anything, Xiao Ting thought that her words had an effect, and continued to persuade Tao Ye.

"Your father told you not to sell the house, I'm afraid you won't have a place to live in the future."

Xiao Ting kindly reminded her, but unexpectedly aroused Tao Ye's anger again, Tao Ye slammed the disc in his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"You're fucking annoyed, you don't want to stay and you go!"

Xiaoting experienced this situation for the first time, she was stunned, trembling with fright, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, and she was so aggrieved that tears flowed down her eyes and she argued loudly.

"What are you doing! What's wrong with me? ”

Xiaoting ran to the corner of the sofa and sat down, covering her face and crying.

"I'm kind too."

"It's my own business, don't always want to snoop on other people's privacy, what does it have to do with you!"

Xiaoting couldn't find the words to fight back when Tao Ye said, so she could only keep crying, crying and saying: "You are so terrible, how can you say that you can turn your face, we are so good in the afternoon." ”

Xiaoting's crying was very heart-wrenching, Tao Ye had nowhere to vent his depression, and his gloomy face did not speak.

Late at night, the lights in the room had been turned off, and the two of them were lying on the bed ready to sleep, and neither of them spoke in the dark, continuing the cold war.
