Enduring the Winter

Chapter 15

Views:

It's a bit cloudy today. It's just autumn, and the weather has turned slightly cooler, especially in the early morning.

He may have just taken a shower before going out, and his hair is not completely dry, and it is black and dignified.

Compared with his hair, his face was whiter, like a hazy morning mist.

"Why did you come here?" He always had a dissatisfied expression.

Bai Lu had already jogged over, her back a little sweaty.

"Have you been waiting long?" she asked.

Xu Hui frowned and looked down at her, "It's seven o'clock, what time is it now?"

Bai Lu looked at her watch, "It's six fifty-seven."

"..."

Without paying attention, the wrist was pulled.

"Hey!" Bai Lu's arm was twisted and pulled over. Xu Hui looked at Bai Lu's watch and snorted.

"The table is not accurate."

Letting go, Bai Lu shook her wrist and whispered, "Have you worn your watch?"

She looked at Xu Hui's hand, but there was nothing on it.

Xu Hui glanced at her, "I'm looking at the phone, it's already past seven o'clock."

Bai Lu didn't argue with him, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No."

"Then why don't you find a place to eat first?"

"Wait a minute, there are two more people."

Bai Lu was taken aback, "What?"

Xu Hui said: "A classmate of mine, bring his girlfriend."

"Why didn't you say that before?"

Xu Hui frowned and looked over, "No way?"

"...nor."

Xu Hui stared at Bai Lu several times, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and muttered, "I don't know how to dress better..."

Bai Lu was dressed very plainly, and her mother felt that she would have to move around during the sports meeting, so she specially prepared a sportswear for her. Bai Lu is too thin, even the smallest tracksuit would look fat on her body.

After a while, she heard Xu Hui shout in one direction.

"This way!"

"Ah Hui!"

Bai Lu looked up and saw two people walking in front of her.

A boy was about the same age as Xu Hui, tall and thin, with a round head, wearing a casual shirt and shorts, and looked handsome.

He is holding a girl of medium build, wearing a floral dress, wearing makeup, and smiling.

"This is Ah He, my friend." Xu Hui briefly introduced without raising his hand.

Bai Lu said softly, "Hello."

Sun Yuhe's eyes fell on Bai Lu from more than ten meters away, and it became more straightforward when he got closer. Bai Lu's head lowered a little bit, and finally he could only stare at the tip of his shoe.

"You are an egret."

"Ok."

"My name is Sun Yuhe, and I'm Ahui's classmate. This is my wife, Keiko."

Chen Hui pinched him, coquettish and angry, "Who is your wife?"

Sun Yuhe took her by the hand and carried the belt forward.

"Whoever agrees will be."

Chen Hui slapped him, "Get out!"

There is a natural tacit understanding between the young lovers, and their gestures are like glue.

Sun Yuhe smiled and squeezed Huizi's hand, then turned to Bai Lu and said, "Ah Hui always mentioned you."

Xu Hui finally made a sound, hehe said: "You can make it more fake."

Sun Yuhe shrugged, but his expression didn't look like he was being exposed.

Xu Hui glanced at it lightly, then turned and walked into the pedestrian street.

Sun Yuhe laughed in the background.

The time was set too early, except for Bai Lu, the other three didn't have breakfast, so Xu Hui took the lead into a Cantonese restaurant.

The restaurant is small, with exquisite decoration. There are various wooden framed paintings and posters on the walls, and green plants are everywhere in the corners.

They found a place by the window. Looking out of the window, you can see the fountain and the old locust tree just now.

The waiter brought the menu, and Xu Hui gave it to the other side first.

"What to eat, order yourself."

Bai Lu sat next to Xu Hui, and he spoke next to her, his voice lower than usual.

After Sun Yuhe and Huizi finished ordering, they handed the menu to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu waved her hand, "I have eaten."

"Don't eat anything?"

"Don't eat."

Sun Yuhe looked at Xu Hui, Xu Hui called the waiter, explained the order, and added another small cake. When the food was served, the waiter looked at the four people on the table, and then naturally put the small cake in front of Bai Lu.

After eating nearly three hundred for breakfast, Xu Hui paid the bill.

After eating, Keiko clamored to watch a movie, and several of them walked towards the nearest movie theater.

Bai Lu packed things slowly, and was the last one to leave the restaurant, with Xu Hui at the front.

Bai Lu took off her backpack as she walked.

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Lu turned her head to the side, it was Sun Yuhe. Keiko chatted with Xu Hui in front, who happened to be beside Bai Lu.

"Want to give him money?" Sun Yuhe had a clear smile on his face.

Bai Lu didn't hide it, and nodded.

"No need to give it."

Bai Lu didn't speak, Sun Yuhe smiled indifferently, "It's really unnecessary, it's all out, so don't mess with it."

As Sun Yuhe said, he planned to take two quick steps to catch up with his girlfriend. Just as he was about to speed up, Bai Lu said quietly:

"Is he rich?"

Sun Yuhe paused, "What?"

Bai Lu asked again, "Is he rich? He likes to treat guests so much."

Sun Yuhe didn't seem to expect Bai Lu to ask such a question, he opened his mouth and didn't answer, feeling a little cold for a while.

He uh twice, looked forward, and finally whispered something—

"He's not short of money."

Bai Lu: "His family is in good condition?"

Sun Yuhe opened his eyes wide, and Bai Lu looked at him without changing his expression.

"Hey..." Sun Yuhe looked at Bai Lu again, and he had learned a lot. "I can't tell..."

Bai Lu: "What's wrong?"

"No." Sun Yuhe shook his head with a smile, "I really dare to ask, why don't you ask him directly."

Before Bai Lu responded, Huizi turned around and called him, "Ahe, come on."

Xu Hui was buying tickets at the movie box office when Keiko called Sun Yuhe over, "Choose a seat."

A foreign science fiction blockbuster released last week.

Xu Hui bought popcorn and drinks, and several people took them into the theater.

There were not many people in the cinema in the morning, and there was a hall with 500 people, so it looked a little deserted. The air conditioner was still blowing inside, and Bai Lu shivered the moment she entered.

She hadn't been to the cinema for a long time, and carefully checked the ranking and seat number with her ticket, and an impatient voice sounded from behind.

"go inside."

When Bai Lu turned her head, Xu Hui put his hands in his trouser pockets and twitched his chin to the right. Bai Lu put away the tickets and turned in.

Xu Hui followed behind her.

After sitting in the seat, Bai Lu realized that the four of them had separate seats.

She was with Xu Hui, a few rows behind, and Sun Yuhe sat in the front with Huizi, far apart.

This discovery made Bai Lu's lips tighten.

"Take it." The popcorn was the largest bucket, and the seat couldn't fit, so Xu Hui stuffed it directly into Bai Lu's arms.

Before the lights dimmed, Sun Yuhe turned his head and waved to Xu Hui and Bai Lu, Bai Lu raised his hand in response, and Xu Hui sat motionless in the soft chair.

After Sun Yuhe waved his hands, he put his arms around Keiko's shoulders, and put his heads together to whisper.

The movie starts showing.

On the huge screen was the vast galaxy and universe. Bai Lu watched the movie intently, not eating a single bite of the popcorn she held in her arms.

Not only did she not eat, Xu Hui also did not eat.

Time passed slowly.

The hand on the popcorn bucket was placed for too long, and a thin layer of sweat slowly formed in the palm of the hand, and the air conditioner was blown dry by taking it away a little.

Bai Lu took a breath and turned her head.

"Aren't you going to eat—"

Her voice was not loud, and just in time for the fighting scene in the movie, her voice shook the seat slightly.

Xu Hui didn't hear what she just said, but noticed that she turned her head and he turned his face sideways.

One left and one right, the two looked at each other.

The light on the screen shone on his face, and his expression was faint.

In front of them, Sun Yuhe and Huizi had long forgotten the movie, hugged each other, and the entangled figures followed the light on the big screen, one bright and one dark, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Bai Lu said, "Don't you want to eat popcorn?"

Xu Hui whispered: "You eat."

Bai Lu sent the bucket in his direction without saying a word, just watching him quietly.

After being stared at for a long time, Xu Hui finally curled his lips, grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, chewing.

After grabbing it once, he stretched out his hand again, but this time he didn't put it in the popcorn bucket, but put his elbow directly on the seat with his palm facing up.

The boy's palms are slender and the joints are simple and clear.

Bai Lu tilted her head and looked at him, "Do you still want to eat?" Thinking that his hand was misplaced, she handed the popcorn bucket to his hand.

When the edge of the barrel touched him, Xu Hui subconsciously retracted his fingertips, and then flattened them again.

The barrel touched again, and just when Bai Lu was about to speak again, Xu Hui jumped up suddenly.

Bai Lu was startled, she stepped back and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Hui glanced at her, said "smoking", and walked outside with his head sullen.

His figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Bai Lu turned around and sat down, the images on the screen did not enter her mind at all.

Picking up a small piece of popcorn and putting it in her mouth, Bai Lu chuckled lightly.

It was already noon after the movie ended, and there were finally more people on the pedestrian street on weekends. Xu Hui didn't look very interested when he came out of the movie theater. Sun Yuhe led a few people to the video game city on the top floor of the shopping mall.

The video game city is overcrowded, and there are students who are on vacation everywhere. The sounds of various music and games are mixed together, and it is deafening from a long distance.

As soon as Sun Yuhe and Xu Hui came in, they went to exchange game coins, leaving Huizi and Bai Lu waiting behind.

Bai Lu had hardly been to such a place, and she was not used to it just now, her eyes were a little hot and sour from the smoke.

Sun Yuhe and Xu Hui came over, and each took a bag of game coins.

"Come, come, fight for 300 rounds today." Sun Yuhe and Xu Hui sat in front of the fighting game machine and threw game coins into it.

Huizi kissed Sun Yuhe's face and said, "I'll go buy you a drink, what do you want to drink?"

Sun Yuhe: "Good boy, anything is fine."

Keiko: "Then I looked at it and bought it."

As he spoke, he turned around, saw Bai Lu standing beside him, and paused slightly.

Bai Lu seemed a little out of touch with the atmosphere here. After Huizi paused, she pulled Bai Lu, "Let's go, let's go together."

While waiting at the drink shop, Keiko said to Bai Lu, "You haven't been here often, have you?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "I haven't been here."

"They come here often. Boys like to play with these." He moved a little closer and said, "Ah Hui is very powerful. When did you meet him?"

Bai Lu looked at her, and Keiko said, "The two of them have been together since junior high school and are best friends. Ah Hui is very handsome, and there are so many girls chasing him!"

She said, looking at Bai Lu, hesitated for two seconds, "You have to work harder and be nice to him, or you won't be competitive at all, you know?"

Bai Lu lowered her head, and nodded slowly after a while.

"Oh."
