On the first day of the winter vacation, it snowed again in the capital.
Ye Qin wrapped himself tightly from head to toe with a duvet. Luo Qiuling went upstairs for the third time and knocked on the door to call him to eat. The puffed quilt squirmed a few times, and Ye Qin poked his head out to the door and said, "I'm not hungry. , eat later."
After speaking, he retracted his head again.
The heating in the room was fully turned on, and he wasn't cold, but he just didn't want to come out. To be exact, when he got home from school yesterday, he hid himself and refused to see anyone. When Luo Qiuling asked him what happened, he shook his head in the quilt and said that it was all right and leave me alone. Listening to his voice, he was very energetic , not like being sick. Luo Qiuling had no choice but to let him go, knocking on the door every once in a while and asking if he wanted something to eat.
Ye Qin really didn't want to eat, he was full of gas.
More than ten hours ago, he confessed his love to Cheng Feichi in broad daylight and forced him to give an answer with 200% confidence, but he was brutally rejected.
… is not considered a rejection. Cheng Feichi didn't respond positively, and said "You're home" towards the intersection ahead, as if automatically filtering his words.
... It's better to just refuse! Ye Qin's face is still burning up to this day, thinking that he would say such a shameful thing only once in his life, but the water splashed out by what he said will surely be a rich and colorful stroke in the dark history of this life.
The mobile phone rang repeatedly at the bedside, Ye Qin was so annoyed that he stretched out his hand to touch the mobile phone and put it under the bed: "What are you doing?"
There was a lot of voices on the phone, and Zhou Feng shouted at the top of his voice: "Aqin, I'm in Times Square, come quickly!"
Ye Qin frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"That Xueba is working here! You said the world is not small. I was idle at home and went out for a walk. When I turned around, I saw him. He was at the KFC on the first floor, the second cashier, ordering for customers. !"
Ye Qin: "...not going."
"Why not?" Zhou Feng, who didn't know the truth, raised which pot, "Your star has already been given to him?"
Ye Qin gritted his teeth and hung up the phone. When he lifted the quilt, he happened to see a glass jar full of stars on the bedside. He swung his arm and threw the phone out. The phone bounced off the wall and fell heavily on the floor.
For three whole days, Ye Qin had no contact with the outside world. The mobile phone is directly turned off and thrown in the drawer, the computer at home is not touched, and the Internet cafe is not used, only eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, returning to the original life.
On the fourth day, Zhou Feng, Liu Yangfan, and Zhao Yue came to the door together. Ye Qin was wearing a long blanket with only two eyes exposed all over his body. He took them into his room and let them sit wherever they wanted. If he wanted something to drink, he went to the refrigerator by himself take.
Zhou Feng was very worried: "My dear, what's wrong with you? Are you autistic?"
Zhao Yue played with the glass jar beside the bed in his hand, and comforted him: "Well, don't be discouraged if you fail, we have plenty of ways to punish him."
At first Ye Qin just felt ashamed to face others, and he blatantly said that he was the one who managed Cheng Feichi this semester, and he was the one who lost a complete defeat. After venting, he just wanted to hide himself and never show his face until he made a comeback.
Later, when I hid and hid, I felt that this day was comfortable, I didn’t need to rack my brains, and I didn’t need to be frightened. It’s better to hide for a while and rest enough.
He huddled in the blanket and said in a low voice, "Don't touch him, just let me go."
Liu Yangfan laughed hahaha: "We, Aqin, haven't given up yet." He picked up a doll twisted by balloons from the bay window, "What is this, a dog? Where did you pick it up?"
Ye Qin suddenly reacted, strode forward, snatched the doll, whether it was a cat or a dog, from his hand, and said fiercely, "Don't touch my things."
The four of them played together all day long, adhering to the principle of "what's mine is yours". Yeqin's food-protecting attitude today is really surprising. Zhou Feng fought for a long time to smooth things over with little success, and they broke up unhappy. Ye Qin sat beside the bed for a long while holding the kitten that was about to lose its breath.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him. Although he is usually irritable and irritable, he has never been in a situation where he can't figure out himself like this recently. It seems to be suffering from some kind of disease. I don't want to eat, and even sleep is too strenuous.
Luo Qiuling thought that he had encountered something unhappy at school, so she went to talk to their head teacher, hung up the phone, came to Ye Qin's room, sat by the bed and asked hesitantly, "Qinqin, what are you doing?" Tell mom the truth, have you fallen in love with a girl?"
Ye Qin sat up from the bed: "Who said that?"
"You are my son, so I can't tell what's on your mind?" Luo Qiuling couldn't find out anything from Mr. Sun, only that his grades had not improved, and what he said just now was mostly guesswork, "You know, mom doesn't know. It will interfere with you too much, just let me know which family's child it is, you are too simple, mother is afraid that you will be cheated."
Ye Qin curled his lips, unable to agree with the "simpleness" in her words, it is still unknown who lied to whom.
Speaking of which, the combination of Luo Qiuling and Ye Jinxiang is the result of free love. At that time, Luo Qiuling was a female college student from a well-to-do family, and Ye Jinxiang was just a poor business boy, who was several years older than her, so Ye Qin always called his father "old man" in private, and there was a question of whether he was worthy of his father or not. Mother's resentment.
According to Ye Qin's observation over the years, Luo Qiuling did not get the romantic love she imagined in the marriage. Ye Qin privately thought that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as being cheated, so he was not sure whether his mother asked him out of concern or because he wanted to beat a mandarin duck.
After thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to feel guilty, as there were no mandarin ducks in the first place.
"Nothing." Ye Qin replied calmly, "What kind of child?"
Luo Qiuling asked gently for a while, but didn't ask anything, and didn't force him. Instead, he changed the subject and said that this year's family trip is arranged on xx Island, so that he can ask his aunt to help pack his luggage at any time these days.
Since my grandfather passed away, my family spends the Spring Festival abroad almost every year. Ye Jinxiang's parents died young, and after marrying Luo Qiuling, they almost spent the New Year at his Yue's house. This habit remained until the death of Ye Qin's grandfather. Luo Qiuling made arrangements for going abroad for vacation every year before the Spring Festival.
This year was no exception. Because Ye Qin was afraid of the cold, he often had a cold and fever since the beginning of winter, so Luo Qiuling chose a tropical island in the southern hemisphere for his vacation. In the past, it was up to her to decide these matters, and the Ye family father and son could just obey the arrangements, but this time, someone raised objections.
At dinner time, Ye Jinxiang, who was rarely at home, first expressed his dissatisfaction with the bland dishes on the table, saying that he was tired all day and only ate these when he came back. Is Ye's house a Buddhist hall or a temple
Luo Qiuling explained: "Qinqin has been in poor health for the past few days, I'm afraid his stomach won't be able to bear the greasy food."
Afterwards, he told him that his vacation would be on xx island, where the temperature was suitable for Yeqin to take care of his body.
"It's so far in the southern hemisphere, and it takes two days to go back and forth. Do I still have to work?" Ye Jinxiang snorted, "You're used to it. A boy is more delicate than a girl."
Ye Qin had self-knowledge, but he couldn't allow Ye Jinxiang to talk about him, let alone his mother, so he threw the bowl and said, "You have a lot of work, stay here and continue to work. Mom and I will go alone."
It almost sparked another family fight. Ye Jinxiang was so angry that he brought Yeqin's report card and scolded him one by one from Chinese to physics. He said that he had never seen him so average in every subject. It was a shame for him. It was the same as when he was young. Nothing like it.
Seeing his mother's face, Ye Qin listened to his lecture and didn't reply again. Finally, he said "then go find a son who looks like you", and went upstairs without turning his head.
Go back to the room and pick up the bottle of colorful stars, and when you lift it over your head, you will fall to the ground.
After all, I held back. After calming down, Ye Qin took the phone, charged it, and clicked on the text message interface after turning it on.
On the seventh day of the winter vacation, Cheng Feichi received a text message from Ye Qin again, asking him if he had registered for WeChat.
He has heard of this software, and people around him are using it recently, a chat software similar to QQ. He didn't know what Ye Qin wanted to do, his performance should be obvious on the last day before the holiday, no matter how slow Ye Qin was, there was no reason why he couldn't detect it.
Accepting Ye Qin's approach is a normal interpersonal communication for him, as long as he can chat or have a congenial personality, he doesn't mind dealing with the other party.
Ye Qin is a young man from a rich family. Their family backgrounds are very far apart. The reason they can play together is mostly because they find different qualities in each other. To put it bluntly, they are fresh. But behind the freshness lies huge contradictions and disagreements. Cheng Feichi knows better than anyone that such contradictions will increase in the future, and such friendships are mostly short-lived and will not last long.
As for the relationship beyond friendship that Yeqin kept wanting, in his opinion, it was more fragile and unreliable. He didn't take it seriously at first, and concluded that Ye Qin would not last a month. After all, their first meeting did not leave a good impression on each other. Even if those superficial prejudices were gradually dispelled in the later exchanges, it was not enough Bring them one step closer.
Ye Qin's ability to persevere until now was completely beyond Cheng Feichi's expectations. He was willing to be friends with Ye Qin, but he only stopped at friends. Reason told him that if Ye Qin was still so stubborn, he would rather not even be friends.
Cheng Feichi was busy when he received the text message, so he didn't bother to reply, and ignored the unexplained relief in his heart.
When I touched the phone after work at night, there were three new messages on the screen:
[Then can you answer MMS?]
[Oh your phone is black and white]
[I have a photo I want to show you]
Ye Qin often sent him text messages, and his tone was either triumphant or angry. From the lines, one could imagine his expression when texting. It is rare to see such a calm mind. Cheng Feichi thought for a while, and chose an answer: [No]
For the first time, Yeqin didn't complain, and changed the subject, saying that he would go abroad with his family for vacation starting tomorrow and come back after the year. Cheng Feichi didn't see this until he got home. It was already past eleven o'clock and the night was quiet outside the window. After reading it, he put down his phone and didn't reply out of inconvenience.
On New Year's Eve, February 9th in the Gregorian calendar, Cheng Feichi got up early and went to the market to buy the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve dinner. According to the usual practice in previous years, from noon onwards, the vendors in the market will close their stalls one after another and go home to celebrate the New Year.
On the way, I met Aunt Feng who also came to buy vegetables. She insisted on stuffing a few catties of freshly cut pork belly into Cheng Feichi's hand, saying that it was leftover from making dumplings and mincing meat, and asked him to take it back for cooking.
"Your mother is a good northerner, but she has a southern mouth. She is not used to eating dumplings. These meats are perfect for a meal of roasted pork."
Cheng Feichi refused, but accepted it, and made an appointment with Aunt Feng to visit her home for New Year's greetings on the second day of junior high.
On the way back with the vegetables, Cheng Feichi listed in his mind the few houses that needed New Year's greetings in order of priority. Cheng Xin lived in a reclusive life, and these people were left to him a few years ago to take care of them. Cheng Feichi couldn't make up his mind about the house that was lined up on the morning of the first day of the new year. After all, he was an elder and the last family member he knew besides his mother.
He planned to go home and discuss with his mother before making a decision. When he opened the door, he saw Cheng Xin rolling out dumpling wrappers in the kitchen.
"Didn't you say you won't make dumplings?" Cheng Feichi asked.
Perhaps it was due to the approaching Chinese New Year, the smile on Cheng Xin's face was a bit more than usual: "I don't want to eat, but you all want to eat."
She used "you", and Cheng Feichi's hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground, as if he settled something on his mind, he washed his hands, made dumplings with his mother, and prepared to welcome the guests.
The guests didn't come on New Year's Eve, and Cheng Feichi didn't think much about it. It was freezing outside, and their house was small, so it was not convenient to rush back after dinner or stay overnight. Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, he got up early to clean up the house, but Cheng Xin stopped him on the grounds that "it's not appropriate to rummage through boxes and cabinets on the first day of the new year", and sent him out to pay New Year's greetings to the neighbors in the neighborhood.
Their orphans and widows have lived here for more than ten years, and they have been taken care of by their neighbors. Knocking on the door from house to house, the neighbors all smiled and beamed, saying that the child had grown so big in a blink of an eye, and then stuffed him with a bag of melon seeds and candies.
When I arrived at Grandpa Li's house, I received warm hospitality and received a big gift bag from Want Want. Cheng Feichi refused, and Grandpa Li said, "Take it and eat it. My grandson is as old as you. I know that your children love this the most."
Cheng Feichi returned home with a full load, and on the way back, he suddenly remembered a certain kid who always had a lollipop in his mouth. Yeqin loves to eat these messy snacks, if he is here, half of them can be solved on the way.
He hadn't looked at his phone since last night, and Cheng Feichi wondered if the children had sent him Spring Festival blessing text messages.
Downstairs, a few children were buying small firecrackers that would go off when they fell to the ground in the canteen. They yelled and competed for the loudest fall, and the laughter came to their ears through the windows in the corridor, and Cheng Feichi's mood was also relaxed. Walking to the door of the house, I saw the door with red couplets on it, and listening to the voices coming from inside, I felt that the Chinese New Year was so good like never before.
However, the good mood only lasted until the moment the door was pushed open.
There is an extra pair of leather shoes in the entrance, but there is only one pair, not the two pairs he expected.
Cheng Xin is the only child in the family, and apart from her parents, she has no living immediate family members, and these business leather shoes are exquisite in workmanship and stiff in shape, they don't look like the styles that old people would wear.
"Xiaochi is back."
Hearing what his mother said, Cheng Feichi opened the kitchen door from the inside, and the heat of cooking steamed from the crack of the door, making his vision blurry for a moment.
When the man walked in front of Cheng Feichi, his outline changed from blurred to clear, with a fatherly smile on his face, he bent down to pick up the things in his hand, and said something similar to the neighbors who watched him grow up: " They've grown so tall."
