CHAPTER XX

Warm Winter Vacation (Part I)

Since then, Shibai and I have only seen each other very often for various reasons, such as going to our relatives' houses near the end of the year.

Chinese New Year's Eve 19

Ye Qing and Chen Tingyu and I gathered on the deserted streets, wandering aimlessly from the east of the city to the west of the city. Only McDonald's, which is open 24 hours a day, is open on the street. The December wind was blowing in our faces, and we were talking mindless things in the streets. The deserted streets make those of us who find our homes too boring to have nowhere to go, so we end up in a McDonald's full of young people.

"Wenwen, Happy New Year!" Tingyu's mobile phone rang and was answered in seconds, and he walked out at the same time.

"It's really unpleasant, Ye Qing, the flame of hateful jealousy has burned in my heart, and it can't be extinguished!!"

"Yes, Ah So, this is the first one we know!! Why is the stinky scumbag so pleasing to the little girl!! ”

Together, we joked about the popular central air conditioner.

"Ah, well, Happy New Year, poetry in vain!" I also received a New Year's greeting from Shibai.

"Ah Song, you have also rebelled, damn it." Ye Qing turned the muzzle of the gun and teased me.

But I know in my heart that he is a person who doesn't care about the feelings of men and women at all because his parents are divorced.

0:00 on the first day of the lunar calendar.

In the silent night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of McDonald's, the fireworks are colorful and dazzling, and the explosion is deafening when it rises to the highest point.

"Knock" "Bang"

"Thank you always. Please stay with me for a while. ”

"As you wish," I smiled "as long as you don't refuse, I will never give up." ”

"Oh, it's all ocean, and it's saying this kind of earthy words."

After the year, the visits and travel activities still fill life, even for high school juniors who are close to the college entrance examination, it is unavoidable. Shi Bai and I only met in our free time, and the main purpose was to complain to me about how Aunt Ma (stepmother) was unreasonable with Uncle Song (Shi Bai's father). (Aunt Ma is ten years younger than Uncle Song, and because she always listens to one side of the story, she can't be sure what kind of person Aunt Ma is.) ）

Noon on February 13 in the solar calendar

Because Shibai's birthday is very distinctive, even though I've never been good at remembering numbers, I'm also very sensitive to that day. At the same time, I am not good at picking gifts, so I thought about going to Taisheng Plaza (shopping mall) to take a walk to see if there would be a suitable one.

I don't have much experience in gift-giving, after all, birthday celebrations between friends are only done by treating each other, and it is not so complicated to give gifts to each other.

Food snacks or something are completely out of my consideration.,Lipstick, cosmetics and the like.,It's not suitable for the stupid sister who doesn't know how to take care of it.,As for toys, it's completely impractical.。 Ye Qing always said that sometimes appropriate romance will be greater than practicality, although Shibai is a girl, but I always feel that the bells and whistles are too formal, or pick something ingenious, and can be used daily.

I was struggling when I saw a grocery store called Coldplay Cool. It is said to be a grocery store, but there are no daily necessities in it, and there will be no hardware in the grocery stores around the community. To put it simply, this is simply a store that exists for presents.

But since I was surrounded by couples, well-dressed women, or crisp and neat men, and I was completely out of place, I naturally assumed that there would be no gifts to my liking.

Sending hair accessories for women who are not in a good relationship enough, bracelets are taboo. But the hair tie with cherry red beads still firmly grasped my eyes everywhere. I had no idea about the hair rope at all, but I thought 20 yuan was okay, so I bought it. The incense at the front desk was also something I was interested in, so I bought it, and finally there was a cute little yellow duck key chain.

February 14th

Inside the Shibai room

"Huh? The gift you picked is too little girl's style, right?" Shibai said, but he smiled very thief on his face, but he still roared. ”

As for the reason why I sat in my distant cousin's room: "My father said that the two of us are always wandering outside, looking for a place to stay, and it is better to come directly to my house, so you can come directly to my house tomorrow." This kind of words ran out of Shibai's mouth so naturally. In terms of logic alone, there is no reason to refuse, and other factors are relatively secondary, so I have no reason to refuse.

I was a little nervous when I came to the unit that I had arrived countless times, but more of it was because I felt that it was very troublesome to communicate with people I didn't know well, and I didn't know what to say to deal with it.

When I reached the fourth floor, my brain suddenly emptied, and I mechanically walked to 402 and pressed the doorbell.

"Wait a minute!" Then the door opened after the sound of clackling footsteps, and the warm heat of the room contrasted sharply with my cold skin, yes, pajamas, which felt very petite.

9 a.m

"Grandpa went to the University for the Elderly, my dad and Aunt Ma both went to work, oh yes, my aunt said that it seems to be coming in the afternoon!"

"University for the elderly? It's pretty trendy. ”

"It's said that I went to learn calligraphy, do gymnastics or something."

My mind reacted to these people right away. Thinking about it in my heart, grandpa is the one whose parents divorced before and said that you are a white-eyed wolf, and Aunt Ma is not very good at the conversation you mentioned to me, but my aunt seems to be quite popular with you, why not four people, half of the villains. (๑•́₃•̀๑)

As for the solitude of the two people, I realized it, but it was just a little bit of a rapid heartbeat, probably because I was too used to getting along, and how could something happen.

Thinking of this, I smiled helplessly and sat down on the chair next to Shibai.

"Your study desk is too long, it's designed for two people."

"Usually it's a pile of clutter, but I didn't expect it to play an unexpected role today," Shibai and I had a meaningless conversation, and at the same time took out a stick of incense, skillfully inserted it on the base, and then touched a lighter from the living room and lit it, explaining, "This thing is said to have a calming effect." ”

After settling down, I said that I was here to study, in fact, my winter vacation homework has been done, and I am in the period of youth and confusion (in fact, I am also in the period of confusion when I am about to graduate from college), I don't have what I want, I have no motivation, so I don't want to increase the amount of study. So I'm just here to oversee the work. (๑╹っ╹๑)

No accident, I fell asleep to the atmosphere of soft music.

11 o'clock.

"Quack~squeak~" Under the abrupt sound of the door opening, I woke up. Habitually looked at Shibai, who was supposed to be sitting on the side, and found that there was no one.

"Grandpa." Hearing Shibai's voice, I understood the situation - grandpa is back.

I walked out and hurried to the door to say hello, "Hello grandpa." ”

"Oh, Shibai, this is you, classmate?" Grandpa asked.

"Well, uh... It's my brother. ”

(I was originally a distant relative of my grandmother's side, so my grandfather didn't know about me)

"Oh oh good, then I'm going to cook." From my point of view, grandpa is relatively easy to get along with.,But after all, I'm an outsider.,So it's just my point of view.。。。 (〃'▽'〃)

Probably Shibai's father mentioned it to his grandfather, so he doesn't need to explain much, maybe grandpa is so easy-going? After all, the expression is more casual.

"So, why didn't you wake me up, and grandpa wasn't at home. It's rude for me not to come out in time to greet you... ”

"Grandpa went to the University for the Elderly, and he will definitely be back at lunchtime. Call you up, wouldn't you wait for me to play with your phone and you will talk to me. I can see that you're going to watch me go to jail today. ”

Thinking that this girl was a thief enough, I couldn't help but poke her in the face, "You, really." ”

Suddenly thinking of calling me brother in front of my grandfather just now, I consciously accelerated my heartbeat, and couldn't help but attack, "The one just now, call it again." ”

"Which one," Shibai seemed to react, "Well, ah, I don't." ”

"Please, I finally heard it for the first time, you don't strike while the iron is hot, do it again."

"Ah, how can anyone do such a thing while the iron is hot. Are you stupid, hum, don't just don't"

Seeing how hard it was to pry her mouth open, I still chose to give up. I wonder how our relationship will change when I hear her call me brother one day.

With the hood turned off, we were also handed over to the table.

With my restrained behavior, and my grandfather's natural conversation about the interesting story of his hometown university, I finally ended lunch, and it seems that he really likes this old university.

As a guest at Shibai's house, I naturally wouldn't let me clean up the kitchen waste, but I still insisted on brushing my own dishes.

Back in my room after dinner, we continued to spend time without a special purpose, and I leisurely looked at my phone while supervising Shibai, who couldn't control myself at all.

17:30 p.m

The tired and boring atmosphere was broken by the sound of the door opening, and this time I went out with Shibai to greet him.

"Auntie, you're back." I'm waiting for Shibai to finish calling it before deciding how I should call it.

"Auntie is good, auntie is good." I also said hello according to Shibai's words.

"Ah, oh, hello," Aunt Ma responded with a smile, Aunt Ma and Aunt Ma are sisters, both of them are slightly chubby, wearing glasses, and the image mentioned by Shibai is very kind, "Today is Shibai's birthday, let's stay for dinner, we bought some pit (K) Deji, and then ordered a takeaway of pizza, I'll make some later." ”

"Ah, I don't need it, I'll go home and eat when my mother cooks in a while." I, who am not very good at interpersonal communication, subconsciously refused, because I felt that it was more polite to refuse at such times.

"So, you'd better celebrate with us! After all, Shibai seems to be looking forward to it today. After discussing with your uncle last night, she was busy cleaning up the room。。。。。。 ”

"Auntie !!" Shibai's shyness was already written on his face, "Don't say it, and how can you show such a messy room to the guests." ”

"Nonsense, you were never so active when I came, and I didn't see you act when you came to others." The aunt teased Shibai.

"Oh~oh~ It turned out that I was sure that I was here to clean up, so it turned out to be like this." The aunt's uncontrollable smile was revealed.

Shibai was beside me, closer than ever, but her shoulders were still gently hammering my shoulders from the distance of two fists, because of the height difference, if you want to look at each other, your eyes have to be slightly raised, and the voice is only heard by the two of us, "Shouldn't you be more happy" cutely reproaching me for teasing her.

Taking Keng Deji as a snack before meals, grandpa is more traditional, so we excluded it. While waiting for the pizza, Aunt Ma said that she was going to stew beef and potatoes to make a sweet and sour tenderloin, and the aunt looked like she had seen everything through, "I'll help the cook, you two, hehe(●ˇ∀ˇ●)"

The atmosphere was a little strange, and instead of being silent as we had hoped, we stumbled unnaturally into the conversation, discussed two sentences of fried chicken, fell into silence for a while, discussed the next dinner, and cake, and fell into silence for a while. (Yes, all of them are eaten (灬°ω°灬))

"Stay at my house tonight." That's right, it shook like a detonating bomb and hit my brain.

"Huh? Well? "I was silent for a short time" Where do I sleep? The subconscious answer is said without thinking about it.

"Hmm... Shibai also fell into a momentary stagnation in consciousness, "In my room, this sofa?" ”

"Ah, no, no, no, I'm a boy, boy! It's not appropriate. "I clearly felt that my face was hot, and it was not appropriate to be in the same room with Shibai for a night.

"Oh~" Shibai's face was also flushed, but I didn't know if it was caused by the high room temperature.

In order to break the strange atmosphere, and to somewhat hide my shyness, "Read a book, read a book, look at you, I just learned a little more today." ”

"What's the matter, when you fell asleep, I studied very seriously," Shibai pouted as he sent me the book of winter vacation homework, "No, we don't know, what did someone do today." ”

"Okay, good, you're awesome" I took the opportunity to pinch Shibai's face, as soft as ever~

"Oh, don't be poor," he said, and Shibai just twisted his cheek that was pinched by me awkwardly.

"Shibai, classmate, it's time to eat!" Aunt Ma's voice broke the time in the bedroom that had passed inadvertently.

The two of us went to the restaurant.

"It's my brother, not my classmates." Shibai's refutation of Aunt Ma's words turned out to be here, even if I heard it in the third person, it still caught me off guard, not only the hot feeling on my face, but also my heart was beating wildly, even so I tried to suppress this impulse.

The aunt was smiling next to the thief, and Aunt Ma also looked at Shibai with gentle eyes, "Oh~Okay, okay~"

Except for my uncle, who was going to socialize, there were five of us at the dinner table.

"Then I wish Shibai a happy birthday!"

"Happy Birthday!"

……

After that, I chose to go home.

Bai: "Hmph, just don't !! Okay, that's all for me, just this time, it's time for you to go to bed, and you'll have to study tomorrow. ”
