During the winter vacation, Shi Ci sent Tang Zuo to tutoring every day. She would find a coffee shop to read books, send emails, and look at papers. After Tang Zuo finished, she would send her back to school and then do her own things. If she was not busy, they would go out shopping, eat, or go to the movies together.
Soon, two weeks of tutoring passed.
As the end of the year approaches, supermarkets and shops in major shopping malls are doing everything they can to attract customers, with lights and decorations everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
After dinner, Tang Zuo and Shi Ci went shopping in the supermarket for a while and bought some daily necessities, each carrying a shopping bag.
“Did I buy too much?” The two bags I bought were all food, including some frozen seafood, imported fruits and vegetables, etc.
"Not much." Shi Ci looked at her, "I have to go home for the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow... and after the New Year, I may go to Yangcheng with Ms. Ding to visit my grandparents, and I also have to go to the suburbs of Nancheng to visit my grandparents..."
"Oh." Tang Zuo didn't care.
"So you can live with me instead of in the dormitory. This way I'll feel more at ease." Shi Ci gently touched Tang Zuo's bag with the shopping bag in his hand.
Tang Zhao smiled slightly, "It's okay, I always stayed in the dormitory in previous years..."
Shi Ci looked at her gently and whispered, "Now that you have me, how can I let you live in the dormitory alone? Listen to me."
Tang Zhuo smiled and whispered, "I registered to stay on campus during the winter vacation. It seems not good to not stay in the dormitory..."
"It's okay. I'll ask Teacher Ye to talk to your dormitory manager."
Is this really okay
Shi Ci seemed to know what she was thinking and smiled at her gently: "It's okay."
Tang Zuo couldn't say no and could only say "hmm".
Shi Ci suddenly laughed.
They had already arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall. Shi Ci was standing there. The background was tall buildings, flickering lights, crowds of people, and the joyous and festive fireworks of the world, and she was the warmest one.
There is a shop selling spicy hot pot next to it. Radishes, fish rolls, meatballs, tea eggs, flower tofu... are all soaked in the hot soup.
Tang Zuo ran over and bought a small bowl, then looked back at Shi Ci. She was carrying two shopping bags, wearing a dark green coat, gray-black trousers, and high heels. She was not in a hurry to go to the car, but stood there patiently waiting for her.
The air in late winter was extremely cold. Shi Ci was wearing very little. He brushed his hair that was messed up by the wind and took a deep breath, as if he was a little cold.
Tang Zhao looked back at her, then ran to the hot drink stand next door and bought her a cup of ginger, sugar and pear tea. He then quickly came to her side and said, "Here, take a sip first."
Shi Ci shook his head lightly and smiled.
Tang Zhao reacted. She had things in both hands. She pursed her lips, smiled shyly, put the straw in place, and handed it to her lips, "Well, take a sip."
It tastes slightly spicy, a little sweet, and has a slight aftertaste. It warms your throat and makes your heart feel warm and sweet.
Shi Ci narrowed his eyes and glanced at the disposable bowl that Tang Zuo was holding.
"Do you want to eat some radish?" Tang Zhuo looked around. "I also bought squid balls and fish tofu..."
The two of them had just finished eating hotpot and were very full. Perhaps young people's stomachs are connected to the sea
Shi Ci looked at Tang Zhuo wearing the down jacket she bought for her, with the collar slightly turned up, wrapping her crystal clear and slightly pink face. She picked up a squid pill and took a bite.
Shi Ci curled his lips, "I want to eat this."
"Ah?" Tang Zuo looked at the half squid ball on the bamboo skewer, then looked at her.
Shi Ci blinked, lowered his head slightly and took a bite of the half squid pill.
Tang Zuo opened her eyes wide and quickly looked around. She relaxed only when she saw that no one noticed them.
Shi Ci stared at her while biting, with an undisguised smile in his eyes.
Tang Zuo looked down at his shoes, with the corners of his lips curled up.
The traffic lights at the nearby intersection were switching. A black Chevrolet drove by, then drove past for a moment and then backed away. The glass window of the back seat of the car slid down, and Shi Bingcheng glanced in the direction of the mall entrance.
Two girls were standing face to face with smiles on their faces. They both looked outstanding, and the shorter girl was feeding the taller girl.
People were coming and going, and the noise was deafening. In front of the flower shop at the entrance of the mall were colorful flowers, and the fountain sprayed out several beams of transparent water from time to time.
Shi Bingcheng looked in their direction for a while, frowning slightly and thinking, until the driver said that they could not stop here anymore and that people behind were urging them to stop, he nodded, and the car started again and drove forward.
On New Year's Eve, it was already completely dark at around five in the evening, and a fine, continuous snow began to fall in Nancheng.
Standing upstairs and looking at it, it seems like a romantic scene from a Korean drama, with snowflakes like cherry petals, slowly and quietly covering the entire world.
Shi Ci came out with her coat and told Tang Zuo to make sure to eat, saying that she would be back the next morning.
"My dad has made a rule that after I return home, I must spend the night at home on New Year's Day." Shi Ci's tone was a little helpless, and he touched Tang Zuo's head, "Just lock the door when I leave."
"Okay." Tang Zuo nodded obediently, "Put on your coat. I think you should also wear a scarf. Can I get one for you?"
"Oh... OK, go get it for me." Shi Ci sighed softly as she watched her girlfriend trot back into the room.
Shi Ci was wearing a black coat, and Tang Zuo picked out a cream-colored scarf and tied it for Shi Ci.
She looked at it, curled her lips, and curved her eyebrows, "It's very beautiful."
Shi Ci reached out and hugged her, saying softly, "I'll see if I can sneak back tonight. I'm still worried about you being alone."
"It's okay. I'll cook something to eat later, watch a movie and then go to bed. I'll call you before I go to bed." Tang Zuo smiled at her, "Qiuqiu is here to accompany me."
Qiuqiu at their feet immediately responded with a meow.
Shi Ci sighed again, and leaned his face against the top of his girlfriend's head, "... Old man Shi is so annoying!"
Tang Zuo laughed.
Shi Ci picked up her bag helplessly and walked to the door. Tang Zuo looked at her figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Ci suddenly turned around and frowned slightly, "You're just going to let me go like this?"
Tang Zhao was a little confused and couldn't react. "Huh?"
Aren't they going to have the New Year's Eve dinner? Is she going to stop them
"Come here!" Shi Ci looked at her dazed look with amusement.
Tang Zuo looked at her, and the next second, Shi Ci's lips kissed hers. She held the back of her head and bit him bit by bit, and soon their lips merged together, inseparable.
The two of them were in the entrance hall, leaning against the wall, hugging each other tightly, kissing softly and affectionately.
"The next time I kiss you will be next year." Shi Ci said, pressing his lips against hers.
And next year.
Tang Zuo's heart was filled with emotions because of these two words, and he hugged her tightly.
very nice.
Shi Ci closed the door. The dim ceiling light at the entrance suddenly lit up, and Tang Zuo stood there, not moving.
After a while, Qiuqiu called out, breaking the silence, and the lights came on again.
Tang Zuo lowered his head slightly, picked up Qiuqiu, and rubbed its furry head.
The light from the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the falling snow.
Ms. Ding Miaoyi prepared a large table of dishes, including both cold and hot dishes, and a hot pot in the middle.
A full pot of pork tripe and chicken soup was stewed. Each person drank a small bowl of the delicious milky white soup first. A lot of pepper was put in the soup. All of a sudden, everyone felt warm physically and mentally and lazy. After drinking the soup, they added water to the pot and prepared to eat hot pot. According to the saying in Guangzhou, this is called "da ban lu".
"Ms. Ding, do you have any soup? Please prepare it and let me take it back to school." Shi Ci said to her.
"Oh? Haha." Ms. Ding winked at her and said knowingly, "I found out when I was stewing it today. I put it in the insulated lunch box."
"Well, thank you, Ms. Ding." Shi Ci said. She went under the table, moved her fingers slightly, and sent a private message to Tang Zuo, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. I had noodles." Tang Zuo replied quickly with a smiling face.
While thousands of houses were lit up and families were reunited, Tang Zuo was eating noodles alone.
"Who are you taking it back for?" Shi Bingcheng took a sip of wine and asked casually.
"..." Shi Ci looked up at him and replied, "I'll eat."
Ms. Ding was putting slices of beef in the pot. She glanced at Shi Bingcheng, then turned to Shi Ci and smiled, "Your mom's cooking skills are really good, right? Hehehehe."
"Well, Ms. Ding's cooking skills are very good," Shi Ci continued to drink a sip of soup, "give it to Xiao Tangzhu to try."
Ms. Ding paused for a moment. The water in the pot was boiling and the aroma of meat was everywhere. She hurriedly greeted them, "Eat quickly, eat quickly."
Shi Hai coughed and said, "The meat is mine." He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up several pieces in succession. He put them directly into his mouth without even dipping them in the sauce.
Shi Bingcheng took off his glasses that were blurred by the heat, and looked straight at Shi Ci with his deep eyes, "Isn't Tang your brother's friend? How did you become familiar with her, Shi Ci?"
"Ah, didn't I tell you this? That little Tang Zuo used to give tutoring to Shi Hai. It was Shi Ci who paid the money. It was Shi Hai, right?" Ms. Ding took the tender yellow baby cabbage on the table and threw it into the pot.
"Hmmmm," Shi Hai had his mouth full of meat and was unable to speak, so he could only nod.
"Hey, don't just focus on the meat, eat some rice." Ms. Ding shouted at him.
Shi Hai tilted his head and glanced at what was in front of him. Usually, when he ate hotpot, he would eat a round to his heart's content before finishing with the rice.
"Hey, eat some vegetables too." Ms. Ding stood up and put some baby cabbage into his bowl.
"Mom, Mommy..." Shi Hai called, "I still want to eat meat, that tripe, mutton..."
"Can't you burn it yourself?" Ms. Ding looked at him with disgust.
“…” Shi Hai curled his lips and glanced at his bowl—a full bowl of baby cabbage.
"Old man, you should eat quickly," Ms. Ding turned around and said to Shi Bingcheng, "Can I give you some hot beef tripe?"
Shi Bingcheng seemed to believe what they said, and said with a smile: "I'll do it, you sit down and eat." He picked up several pieces of tofu skin and put them into the soup, "This is what you like."
Shi Ci didn't take it seriously. He was so interrupted that he forgot to send a text message to Tang Zuo, "Are you afraid of being alone?"
"I'm not afraid, Qiuqiu is with me." Tang Zuo replied immediately.
She was waiting for herself.
Shi Ci felt a prickly feeling in his heart and was a little uncomfortable.
I was just about to say something.
Tang Zuo sent me a photo.
She was wearing a long-sleeved pajamas with a white background and green polka dots. She was holding Qiuqiu in her arms. A smile broke out on her innocent little face. The teardrop mole made people want to touch it. Qiuqiu's green eyes were wide open, with an expression of "What is this?"
Shi Ci couldn't help but laugh.
"Shi Ci, don't bring your phone with you when you eat," Shi Bingcheng looked over, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Who is so important that you keep your phone in your hands all night?"
