On the first day of the lunar month, the third day of the New Year's Day holiday, the light had nowhere to search in the oppressive sky of the evening, and in the broken clouds like a messy set of assembled toys, Yue'er showed half of her gloomy face and overlooked the entire A city, like a special part in this set.

New year, new beginnings. This sentence will be voted in thousands of households every year, just like the first homework assigned at the beginning of the winter and summer vacations of primary school: "Plans for the new semester", in fact, not everyone will plan according to what they think and write, and not everyone will make it a reality, for Zhai Yuyan, a "student", she has been like some "students" in the past three years, just handing in a "homework".

However, this year, not only does she have to hand in her "homework", but she also doesn't want her "essay" to be written in vain.

The winter evening sky is still dark, but the next light snow can hide the oppressive atmosphere. In the taxi, Zhai Yuyan thought like this, she likes the beautiful snow scene of the street on a winter night with the cooperation of street lights, although it is a happy event waiting for her in front of her, but she always feels that the romantic scenery may add points to her luck index.

The street lamps on the street reminded her of the street lamp flower in "Plants vs. Zombies", whenever she has nothing to do, she will also play this classic strategy tower defense game, the street lamp flower will be unlocked after clearing the 4-1 chapter of the first week, Zhai Yuyan, like most players, hates the gray fog that covers almost half of the screen in the fourth part, but the second level of the fourth part gets the plant props to solve this trouble, and one is planted at the beginning, so that players can be the first to know the route of the zombie attack.

The first time I broke into 4-1, I didn't guess which line the zombies in the fourth part would start attacking from, resulting in the free little puff-mushrooms I planted before the fog being eaten repeatedly, just like every time someone introduced me to a boyfriend, in the end, hope was always dashed. Zhai Yuyan looked at the street lamp in front of the car window that kept reversing backwards, and smiled bitterly again and again, every time she guessed whether the other party could meet her, the final result always disappointed her, just like the first time she didn't guess the route of the zombie because of the dense fog, but fortunately, the appearance of street lamps and clovers was able to solve this problem.

However, the reality is not a game, there are no plant props, and there are no street lamps and clovers, not to mention, street lamps can only play the role of lighting, and they have no ability to resist zombies, and planting a clover can only be used once at a time, and what can solve the "dense fog" in front of her can only be the light emitted by herself.

The mother sitting next to her pulled her hand that was touching her heart down, which brought Zhai Yuyan's thoughts back to reality, and her mother asked both funny and helpless: "What do you think?" Is it nervousness? ”

Looking at her mother's smiling expression, Zhai Yuyan knew that her mother was a little unhappy, and repeatedly saw her worried appearance of being scolded if she had failed the exam, and her mother was angry, because it looked very disappointing, maybe because today was her first blind date, and her mother just sighed lightly and didn't say anything.

"I'm not nervous, it's not like I haven't seen a man." Zhai Yuyan said as she brushed her shoulder-length hair with the hand that had just touched her heart, showing that she was brushing her hair just now, and secretly prayed that her mother didn't see the truth just now.

"Later, Aunt Liang and their mother will come, saying that Aunt Liang is good, little brother is good, ah, be polite." Mother continued.

Zhai Yuyan covered her ears in annoyance, she wouldn't put her hand down until she got out of the car, her ears were calloused when she heard this sentence, as if she was a child who would never grow up, even if she would always be a child for her mother.

The destination is a hexagonal hotel built on the periphery of the community, this building was built in the late 90s, the exterior decoration is imitated in European style, facing the three-story building that has replaced three hotels, Zhai Yuyan is most impressed by the earliest one, and in the most luxurious high-end restaurant at that time, the most striking thing is that there were two naughty spotted seals for customers to watch, Zhai Yuyan went to the sixth grade of primary school during the winter vacation, a chickenpox made her spend nearly half of her vacation looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Coincidentally, it was the time of my grandmother's birthday, and it was even more coincidental that my uncle happened to book a private room in this most popular restaurant, which is for Zhai Yuyan, who likes animals, recalling the past, why did she hate herself for chickenpox? I also had to start when my grandmother had her birthday, so that I couldn't celebrate my grandmother's birthday and couldn't see the cute spotted seals.

When the taxi drove away, her mother was completely furious, grabbed Zhai Yuyan's left and right wrists with both hands, ripped them off her ears, and said loudly: "Do you want to cover your ears with deafness?"

Zhai Yuyan shook her arm angrily, she was really fed up with this kind of day, so she replied unceremoniously: "I hope I become deaf, so that my ears will be clean, why don't you do this to the stinky boy at home?" Since I grew up, you and my dad have never been satisfied with what I do! ”

After that, she walked straight to the entrance of the hotel, since she was no longer an only child, she sometimes even wondered if she was her own child.

The window of the hotel is facing the street outside, Zhai Yuyan and her mother booked a private room in the innermost part of the window part on the second floor, Zhai Yuyan is not the first time to come here to eat, the last time she came here, it was when the whole family and her uncle and her family brought their grandmother and new grandfather here to spend the New Year, Zhai Yuyan's grandfather died of esophageal cancer when she was in her second year of college.

In the private room, Zhai Yuyan crossed her long legs under the table, from the time she came out of the house to the present, the long black silk and red high heels did not make her feel a trace of coolness, because of her anger, Zhai Yuyan deliberately ordered the most expensive steak and the largest seafood supreme pizza, after stuffing the recipe into her mother's hand, she took out her mobile phone, and it was so clean that her delicate face was reflected on the reflective screen, and when she lit up the screen and saw the pile of messages sent by her best friend, Zhai Yuyan couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Who?" Her mother asked, glancing at her as she continued to flip through the recipe.

"Yangyang." Zhai Yuyan spit out two cold words, and the window in the cold room towards the community suddenly became a layer of fog.

The messages sent by her best friend are all about her blind date tonight, although her best friend's blessing makes Zhai Yuyan's heart warm like the sun-drenched earth, but this warmth is still given by others, what she wants to do is to transform this warmth into her own light.

The girlfriend has been sending text messages, followed by a ten-second voice, Zhai Yuyan held the mobile phone in her right hand, her thumb was lightly attached to the screen, and she clicked on the voice with only a thumb extension, and her girlfriend's pure voice mixed with the noisy voices around her and said: "Okay, then I wish you success, and someone will protect you then, look at Sun Wei's ......"

Zhai Yuyan hurriedly paused her voice, and looked at her mother who was looking at the recipe beside her uneasily, she exhaled lightly, her mother didn't care about her best friend's words, Zhai Yuyan converted her voice to text, and then she learned all the words of her best friend.

"Okay, then I wish you success, and then someone will protect you, see if Sun Wei dares to harass you again."

Almost twenty minutes later, a woman's inquiring voice came from outside the private room, and with the arrival of the waiter, Zhai Yuyan and her mother realized that it was the mother and son who were on a blind date, and Zhai Yuyan and her mother hurriedly walked out of their seats.

The mother and the other party's son shook hands with a smile, the young man smiled and said "Aunt Zheng is good" twice, and Zhai Yuyan also did the same thing as the other party's mother.

The young man is wearing a black mask embroidered with a scorpion pattern, his height is 1.8 meters, his hair is thick and as black as shoe polish, Zhai Yuyan judged from his starry eyebrows and fair skin, as well as the tall nose bridge that supports the mask like a tent, this person looks dignified and handsome, and is undoubtedly the most popular type of fresh meat among girls in contemporary times, Zhai Yuyan didn't feel how good-looking he was when she saw his photos before, maybe it was a problem with the shooting technique, but Zhai Yuyan still agreed to meet him, Because she doesn't have the same face control as many girls.

"Hello......" The young man stretched out his hand to Zhai Yuyan with a smile like a flower.

Just as the two palms of one cold and one hot were just pressed together, in an instant, the two people looked at each other, and the two pairs of eyes could not be turned as if they were prosthetic eyes.

"You...... You're ......," the young man's outstretched hand slowly drooped.

The smile on Zhai Yuyan's handsome face is also gradually disappearing, this man seems to know himself? However, apart from her classmates and friends of her parents, Zhai Yuyan couldn't remember which men she had been in contact with.

The two mothers were still chatting on the side, only to realize that seeing their children was not like meeting for the first time, when the young man took off his mask, a familiar face kept flashing in Zhai Yuyan's mind.

"Bah, what's going on? You two know each other, huh? Zhai Yuyan's mother, Zheng Limei, was a little surprised by this inexplicable scene.

"Su Yichen!"

"Zhai Yuyan!"

The two called each other's names in unison, the two couldn't help but sigh at this small circular world, the two met in the art interest class when they were in the second grade of junior high school, under the excited laughter of the mothers on both sides, the four sat down as they wished, Zhai Yuyan looked at Su Yichen's familiar face that seemed to be smiling, although he was more handsome than before, and he became taller, but it was cold like a finely carved ice sculpture, maybe as the saying goes: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", right?

No wonder I didn't think about it, from childhood to adulthood, Zhai Yuyan's friends are almost all same-sex friends, except for classmates and children from parents and friends, the only boy who has been in contact with the most is Su Yichen, the reason why Su Yichen didn't remember it when he recognized him, it can be seen that he didn't like him very much at the beginning, and this memory was gradually diluted by time, because not many people would like to be with a person with a straight face all day long.
