The sun was very bright on the day of the final exam. The sunlight that has not been seen for a long time in winter is like honey drenched on a cake, and it flows in a shallow layer on the snow-white ground. The sun is crystal clear in the air, and the snow all over the ground is a white sea under the sun. The snow was illuminated brightly, and the snow-white sea shimmered.

A pair of shoes appeared on the sparkling sea and stepped on the soft snow.

crunch.

The sound of snow being stepped on.

The upper of the shoe sank into the snow, leaving a deep footprint on the snow after the squat, and the upper that was pulled out was covered with thin layers of snow frost.

Gu Chaoming bent down and patted, afraid that his shoes would get wet when he walked to the school.

Today's schoolbags are very light, and they are not at all on the back of the tutorial books, homework, etc. on weekdays. I went to bed early yesterday and woke up on time when my alarm clock rang.

When I woke up and opened the window, I found that the first snow of the year fell on the night I went to bed early yesterday.

Outside the window was a vast expanse of white, not a single snowflake fell, only the mild sunlight falling on the snow all over the ground.

The snow was not heavy last night. Gu Chaoming carefully walked to the bus station with the test equipment on his back, his shoes were not wet.

The most anticipated final exam for the first time started in the sunshine and snow.

There were quite a lot of people at the bus stop. Gu Chaoming stood by the station, recalling the key points of yesterday's review.

The hard work of a semester does not seek to achieve such shocking results, but in the end, I hope that my efforts will be rewarded.

There was no wind today, and the sun leaped across the carport of the bus station and jumped to the opposite branch that was covered with snow and showed a hint of green.

Gu Chaoming raised his arms and arranged the scarf around his neck. In the cold winter morning, Gu Chaoming lowered his head slightly and buried his chin in the thick and soft scarf, as if buried in Lin Jianfan's arms.

The scarf was not Gu Chaoming's original one, it was given by Lin Jianfan for Christmas.

A bold enough red scarf.

It is the brightest color in Gu Chaoming's wardrobe where black, white and gray dominate.

Since he was on the street on Christmas day, Gu Chaoming wanted to buy some Christmas gifts for Cen Xili and Su Bing, and "by the way" to buy gifts for Lin Jianfan.

Walking into a retro boutique with an open wooden sign hanging on the door and a picture of a villain. There are lazy English songs suitable for a winter afternoon rest in the store. Sitting in the store and listening to the lazy tunes, the whole person exudes the comfort of winter.

Gu Chaoming didn't explain why he came into the store, he just wandered around the store to see what could be a Christmas present for Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming walked slowly, composing the lazy music in the store, and Lin Jianfan followed behind him and secretly looked at his back.

Gu Chaoming's back is wide, and the golden lights in the store with orange lights all over his shoulders.

Gu Chaoming's eyes focused on searching the shelves, and he heard Lin Jianfan's voice behind him stepping on the wooden floor of the store, which was particularly pleasant and comfortable.

There is a deliberately retro full-length mirror with a small note on the store shelf.

Gu Chaoming swept across the mirror with his eyes searching for gifts, and accidentally found that Lin Jianfan was peeking at him. After arresting the peeping person, Gu Chaoming also secretly lowered his head and smiled.

In the end, I chose a thick handbook on the shelf that matched the style of the store. While Lin Jianfan was choosing in the store, Gu Chaoming secretly paid, pretending to be gifts for Cen Xili and Su Bing.

Pretending to pretend that he had no idea of buying him a gift, after Lin Jianfan finished the bill and walked out of the store together, Gu Chaoming also introduced to Lin Jianfan which gift he bought was for Cen Xili and which was for Su Bing.

Lin Jianfan listened in silence, and Gu Chaoming could clearly see the loss in Lin Jianfan's eyes.

Gu Chaoming asked him deliberately, "Do you know why there is no gift from you?"

"Why?" Lin Jianfan asked.

He was a little disappointed when Gu Chaoming kept introducing the gifts of Cen Xili and Su Bing, but he didn't want to show it too much in front of Gu Chaoming, so after asking why, he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't give it."

"Huh?" Gu Chaoming was ready to take out the gift he had prepared for him after Lin Jianfan asked why, and gave him a surprise. Lin Jianfan said, "It doesn't matter if you don't give it." Get stunned.

Lin Jianfan's words were of a vinegar bottle that was not tightly closed, and the smell of vinegar wafted out of the gap in the bottle cap.

In the past, Gu Chaoming might only understand the literal meaning of Lin Jianfan's words, but now he knows that the more Lin Jianfan said that, the more he cared.

Gu Chaoming threw away the foreshadowing and prepared surprises, and asked Lin Jianfan, "Why doesn't it matter if I don't give it away? Am I so dispensable?"

Lin Jianfan blinked his eyes, obviously hesitant to say anything, opened his mouth slightly, and met Gu Chaoming's eyes, Lin Jianfan looked away again, closed his open lips, and walked forward quickly by himself.

"Hey?" Lin Jianfan suddenly accelerated, Gu Chaoming hurried to catch up, chased Lin Jianfan's side, followed him quickly, and asked around him, "Why are you walking so fast? You haven't answered me yet?"

It was not until the final separation of Gu Chaoming that he knew the answer.

After teasing Lin to see that Fan's game was unsuccessful, he never found a good opportunity to give him the gift he bought.

The closer to the night, the more people flow on the street, and the sweet smell of couples has taken over the whole street.

When he was about to go home, he was dragged into a small alley by Lin Jianfan. Lin Jianfan said that he saw the brand of Guandong Boil in it and wanted to go in to eat.

Gu Chaoming let him pull, and when he came out with a full meal, it was already dark outside, which occupied most of the winter nights.

The dark night has endless magic, it coexists with the street lights, allowing the street lights to radiate its light.

Before walking out of the alley, he walked under a street lamp, and Lin Jianfan, who was beside him, stopped, Gu Chaoming was still talking about the taste of this restaurant. The footsteps stopped beside him, Gu Chaoming took a few steps and turned to look at him.

"Why didn't you leave?" Gu Chaoming asked.

Lin Jianfan stood silently under the lamp, but just stared at Gu Chaoming who was also under the street lamp.

"Do you still want to eat?" Gu Chaoming walked to Lin Jianfan with the gift he bought today.

The light of the street lamp looked warm in the cold winter night, and the thin light shone on the face of Lin Jianfan who had stopped, and shone on his superior face. The shadow of the eyelashes fell on the lower eyelid, and the skin was so bright under the winter light that Gu Chaoming wanted to pinch his cheeks.

Definitely soft.

Standing under the street lamp is the light of his dreams.

"I..." Lin Jianfan finally spoke, and a syllable slowly popped out.

"you?"

"I," Lin Jianfan seemed to have made up his mind, "I want to say..."

"and many more."

Sensing a hint of something important to happen next, Gu Chaoming stopped Lin Jianfan from continuing to speak without the consent of his brain.

Lin Jianfan raised his eyes to look at Gu Chaoming under the lamp, the lamp fell on top of his head, and a gift bag was stuffed into his arms.

"It's a Christmas gift for you. I can't say I don't like it from my eldest brother. I just lied to you when I said I didn't buy it for you." Because of the inexplicable atmosphere, Gu Chaoming spoke with a guilty conscience that deliberately changed the subject. .

Lin Jianfan looked down at the Christmas present he was forced to accept.

"By the way, why do you say that I don't need to give you gifts?" Gu Chaoming asked.

"Because," Lin Jianfan raised his watery eyes to look at Gu Chaoming who asked the question, with a smile in his eyes, a smile unmatched in the whole spring, he smiled and said to Gu Chaoming: "Because I can I am very happy to see you, and my happiness is the greatest gift you have given me."

Because he felt that there were too many people on the street, he was too embarrassed to say it. It was late at night but the alley was quiet. Lin Jianfan still wanted to take the time to say what he wanted to say to Gu Chaoming.

Gu Chaoming said to him what he had to say, and he could say it directly, without being secretive or beating around the bush. Only Gu Chaoming said that to him, and what he said to Gu Chaoming would only be said to Gu Chaoming.

He can be magnanimous to Gu Chaoming, can be himself, and can express his true thoughts to Gu Chaoming.

He tried and did it.

Lin Jianfan lowered his head and took out a box from the things he bought. Gu Chaoming in front of him was still in shock when he heard his words "I'm happy to see you".

Seeing the box Lin Jianfan took out, Gu Chaoming looked at him suspiciously, watching him open the box, which contained a big red scarf.

Roadside lights lay on soft big red scarves.

"For me?" Gu Chaoming asked, looking at the scarf in the box.

Lin Jianfan nodded.

"When did you buy it?"

Lin Jianfan replied, "Can I put it on for you?"

Like you put on me.

Gu Chaoming smiled without saying a word, and lowered his head.

The comfortable scarf was wrapped around Gu Chaoming's neck exposed in the cold winter air, and the shadows on the ground touched, forming a connecting bridge. Gu Chaoming lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at Lin Jianfan's serious face when he tied a scarf to himself.

The magic of the night was transmitted to the street lamp, and Gu Chaoming was confused by the magic of the street lamp. He looked at Lin Jianfan's face, and after Lin Jianfan put the scarf on him, his eyes were still unwilling to leave Lin Jianfan's face.

"Okay." After putting on the scarf, Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming, who was wearing the red scarf he had chosen for him, with a smile.

Eyes facing each other, under the night light.

Gu Chaoming looked straight into Lin Jianfan's smiling eyes.

He drowned in the vast sea in Lin Jianfan's eyes.

After a long time, he only said six words.

"Merry Christmas, Nobita."

How much he thought, how much he wanted to express to Lin Jianfan his true, longing, and bursting heart, but after all, the words did not convey his meaning.

The situation is unknown, and the investigation has flourished.

"Merry Christmas, Doraemon."

The bus to school came from the other side of the road, and Gu Chaoming put away the smile that he hid behind the scarf because he recalled that Christmas day.

He will see him again soon.

In the early morning at the end of the semester, in the examination room that can be separated by several floors.

The 318 points in the mid-term exam, what Su Bing said about the Queen's Day, the monthly exam has improved, Gu Chaoming's score has been steadily rising since his hard work, except for a few exceptions, including the last time he directly hit him almost depressed. Small quiz.

At the end of a semester, Gu Chaoming really felt it when he was preparing for the examination room.

One semester just went by.

Thinking back to himself when he just entered the school in midsummer, he never imagined that he would change so much now, nor would he ever meet Lin Jianfan, who is preparing for the exam with him now.

In midsummer, Gu Chaoming thought that winter was just a change of seasons, a change of time. He didn't know that time was wasted and changeable.

In the hot summer, he was still thinking about when the injury on his head would heal, he could take off the baseball cap on his head, and he was waiting for his mother to come home from the hospital. Everything that happened later was beyond his imagination. His life has changed since then. The hat he was looking forward to taking off was given to Lin Jianfan, and his mother became someone else's mother, and he was still the same him, and he was no longer the same him.

Gu Chaoming, who was preparing for the examination room, walked to the window. Outside the window was not the blooming spring flowers, not the summer shade, but in the cold winter wind, he smiled lightly.

it's already over.

"What are you looking at here alone?" Su Bing came over and bumped his shoulder with Gu Chaoming, who was staring out the window in a daze.

Gu Chaoming saw Lin Jianfan who was carrying books across the scattered classmates in the classroom.

Gu Chaoming didn't answer Su Bing's question, he laughed again.

It's good, it's the life he likes.

Gu Chaoming, who had been preparing for the final exam for a long time, was looking forward to it, but he was still a little nervous before the exam, afraid that he would fail the exam and live up to his constant efforts day and night. Take the time to take the exam, read the questions carefully, write the words well, and pay attention to details.

After taking the test, regardless of the distance between several floors, Gu Chaoming walked like a fly, and he appeared at the entrance of Lin Jianfan's test room within a minute after the next test.

The exam rooms in front of them were all at the terrifyingly high level of academics. Lin Jianfan was still packing up the exam equipment when Gu Chaoming called his name from the door of the exam room.

As soon as Lin saw Fan raised his head, Gu Chaoming leaned on the door and greeted him.

Seeing Gu Chaoming, Lin Jianfan happily packed up the test equipment and walked out of the classroom.

Gu Chaoming didn't pant at all, as if he had climbed the stairs. When Lin Jianfan walked out of the classroom, Gu Chaoming took Lin Jianfan's hand, held Lin Jianfan with one hand, and took out a lot of small snacks in his two pockets with the other.

"I found this from Su Bing this morning. I bought it myself..." Gu Chaoming couldn't help but say when he touched Lin Jianfan's finger, "Why are your hands so cold? The sun is out today."

After being told by Gu Chaoming, Lin Jianfan's fingers curled into his palm unnaturally, as if the cold hand was his fault.

"I'll go down and get something, you stand here and wait for me." Gu Chaoming touched Lin Jian Fan Bing's cold fingers again and ran downstairs.

Lin Jianfan looked at Gu Chaoming's running back and stood there blankly.

After a while, Lin saw that Fan was still studying the snacks that Gu Chaoming had given him, and Gu Chaoming appeared at the end of the corridor with something in both hands.

"You are..." Lin Jianfan looked at the thing in Gu Chaoming's hand.

Gu Chaoming has a hot water bottle and a few warm babies in his hand.

"I'm going to borrow it from them." Gu Chaoming said, grabbing the snacks that Lin Jianfan had given him, stuffing it into Lin Jianfan's padded pocket, then holding Lin Jianfan's cold hand and stuffing it into a hot water bottle.

The warmth enveloped the whole palm, Lin Jianfan looked down at the hot water bottle in his hand, and Gu Chaoming put the warm baby into his arms again: "I found that you are really weak, and you are afraid of cold and heat."

In the exam that followed, Lin saw that Fan was a little absent-minded. After Gu Chaoming left, he posted a warm baby that Gu Chaoming had collected.

He could feel the warm baby in his clothes heating up throughout the exam.
