The fireworks show lasted for a long time. After the end, the people who came to the riverside for New Year's Eve dispersed.
Zhou Damao not only stole Dr. Zhou's car keys, but also stole the key to the door of his studio. At this time, he invited all willing classmates to join Dr. Zhou's psychological consultation room.
"You are really excellent. A stingy person is set to last forever." Du Min complained in front of him.
Zhou Damao: "You ignorant people, do you know that I'm taking you to enjoy?"
Everyone:"… "
A few classmates came here by taxi, and they had to choose carpooling to return to the city. Zhou Damao's car was too crowded, and before Chi Nuan got in the car, Zhou Damao shouted to Gu Ningzi across the street, "Boss, take one away, take one away!"
Gu Ningzi stopped and turned around.
Chi Nuan: "…"
All the way, the lights are slamming, and there is not much traffic on the streets in the early morning. The navigation "ding" reminds: turn left ahead, turn left ahead.
Gu Ningzi turned off the navigation, went straight, looked at the road, and drove silently.
They haven't been alone like this for a long time, uncomfortable, embarrassed, cramped... Thousands of feelings flooded into their hearts, and Chi Nuan felt at a loss.
Passing through the junction of the new and old city, Gu Ningzi pulled over and parked the car. She unbuttoned the safety buckle and said to Chi Nuan before getting out of the car, "Wait for me."
Without an umbrella, she walked across the uneven stone road with her head lowered, and walked into the deep alley opposite.
Snow covered the window glass, and under the dim street lights, Gu Ningzi's back was tall and thin.
Chi Nuan didn't wait too long in the car, Gu Ningzi came back with a blizzard and two hot porridge.
"You or?" she asked Chi Nuan.
Chi Nuan looked at the tips of her ears that had been cut red by the cold wind, and asked, "Is there a porridge shop in the alley?"
Gu Ningzi: "Well."
The conversation between the two ends here. The heating in the car was very strong, so Chi Nuan took off his jacket, took a sip of the hot yam spareribs porridge.
Itching on her face, she scratched, and her hands were wet and cold.
Chi Nuan avoided her sideways, not wanting Gu Ningzi to see her tears, so she concentrated on drinking porridge one by one. But the more she wanted to act like it didn't matter, the more it backfired. The sour pain in her heart made it difficult for her to swallow the hot porridge. She covered her mouth and her shoulders trembled slightly.
It was so quiet in the car that Gu Ningzi couldn't hear her suppressed low sobbing.
Gu Ningzi looked out of the car window, her eyes were also red, and she never drank the porridge in her hand.
I miss the past, but I can't go back to the past. In the torrent of time, everyone can only move forward.
Later, Gu Ningzi reopened the navigation, and the car took them to Dr. Zhou's consultation room.
The consultation room is located in the center of the CBD. It is a single-family house with two floors. The first floor is a very romantic coffee shop, but it is closed now, and the entire second floor is a consultation room.
Gu Ningzi opened her umbrella and silently sent Chi Nuan upstairs. The glass door was brightly lit, Chi Nuan walked in, Zhou Damao and the others had already arrived, and in the semi-open reception room the poker game was set up again. Seeing Chi Nuan coming in alone from outside, he was quite surprised: "I thought you were following Gu. Ning Zi won't come, her car is so fast that she can fly, how come she is so much later than us?"
Chi Nuan looked behind her, the steps upstairs were covered with snow, and without saying goodbye, Gu Ningzi left alone.
In the distance, I don't know which medical room, Xu Dan's laughter came: "This decompression chamber is so interesting, do you want to try it too?"
…
She slept on and off the sofa for several hours. After dawn, Chi Nuan returned to school in the snow to pack up her schoolbag and drove home for New Year's Day. As soon as she entered the house, she heard Yue Yun screaming, "Chi Qingchuan! Are you blaming me!?"
"Don't be so sensitive, I don't blame you." Chi Qingchuan closed the door to prevent the sound of the two from waking up the sleeping Xiao Wutong.
Yue Yun flicked the blush brush in her hand to the mirror: "You have it! You just think I can't take care of Xiao Wutong, and then you will say if the water I gave him a bath is too cold, and then you will ask if it's the room. The temperature of the air conditioner is too high, aren't you just blaming me for causing him to have a fever!?"
"I really don't." Chi Qingchuan walked over and put his hands on her shoulders lightly: "Yunyun, don't be angry, I didn't pay attention to what I said, calm down, okay?"
Yue Yun twisted her shoulders, and Chi Qingchuan's hand slid down from above.
Chi Nuan held her breath and closed the door, Chi Qingchuan heard the movement and looked over, Chi Nuan tiptoed and walked to his room with slippers.
It was noon soon, Chi Qingchuan came to knock on the door, and asked Chi Nuan what would you like to eat at noon across the door
Chi Nuan opened the door and went out. The house was quiet. Yue Yun was no longer at home. She asked Chi Qingchuan, "Is Xiao Wutong sick?"
Chi Qingchuan said, "I had a fever a few days ago, but I'm fine now."
Chi Nuan went to see Xiao Wutong, Xiao Wutong fell asleep with his eyes closed, his nose was not ventilated very much, and there was a noise when breathing. He lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and Chi Nuan touched his little face distressedly.
Chi Qingchuan was busy in the kitchen, and suddenly asked Chi Nuan, "Xiao Gu hasn't been here for a long time?"
He just thought about it, and asked on a whim, without waiting for Chi Nuan to answer. Chi Nuan stood by the cradle of Xiao Wutong, holding his little hand, softly and silently: "...I don't regret it."
"I don't regret it." Facing Xiao Wutong, she repeated it again.
Yue Yun came back before dinner, the atmosphere at the table was very strange, it seemed that she was still alive. After dinner, Chi Nuan carried Xiao Wutong to her room. After a while, Yue Yun and Chi Qingchuan quarreled again for some reason.
Xiao Wutong didn't understand anything yet, and when he heard Chi Nuan shaking the bell, he grinned and "giggled".
It was still snowing outside the window.
Because of the heavy snow, the school issued a notice of possible suspension of classes. However, on the evening of the last day of the New Year's holiday, Chi Nuan received a new notice that she needed to go to class as usual.
Zhao Jingjing posted a bunch of photos of snacks in their four-person dormitory group: "I'm so disappointed, I'm still thinking about being drunk for another day!"
Xu Dan was happy: "Come on, bring the school and we will accompany you to get drunk~"
The heavy snow covered the entire campus in silver, and depending on the weather forecast, there would still be snow.
Early in the morning, Chi Nuan, like the other dorm classmates, pinched a little snowman in the corridor. In the morning self-study, Du Min excitedly pointed to the row of snowmen on the railing of the corridor outside, and asked Zhou Damao to guess which one was pinched by himself.
Zhou Damao was watching Gu Ningzi playing games, when he heard the words, he shook his hand: "The ugliest one."
Du Min: "If I talk to you again, I'll be a pig."
Between classes, Chi Nuan went to the office of the language group to hand in her homework. When she came back, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the snowman she was pinching. Someone folded a hat out of colored paper and put it on.
Chi Nuan couldn't help but look at it several times.
After school in the afternoon, Chi Nuan and his roommates went to the cafeteria for dinner. Xu Dan's long-cherished chicken leg rice was sold out. After dawdling for a long time, he settled for the next best thing and bought a chicken chop rice. She searched back and forth with the tray for a few times before she found Chi Nuan and the others sitting by the window.
"Is there too many people in the cafeteria today?" She complained and sat down opposite Chi Nuan: "I didn't even buy chicken leg rice!"
Chi Nuan said, "The weather is not good, and there will be more people who stay at school to eat."
Zhao Jingjing poked at the rice and said, "Are they really going to get married this time? There won't be any more troubles like the last engagement? I swear, this article will have some inexplicable abuse of gods. , I'll give up the article! Permanently block the author!"
Du Min: "Okay, I've been chasing more than four million dollars, and it's about to end, so be patient..."
Xu Dan: "Beautiful, the fattening party has nothing to fear."
Du Min: "Aren't you already spoiled by what Zhao Jingjing and I discuss every day?"
Xu Dan said: "I don't listen, I don't care, I didn't watch it anyway, la la la la la."
She was shaking her head when someone sat down beside her, Xu Dan choked on her own saliva: "... Gu Ningzi?"
"Well." Gu Ningzi ate the noodles slowly.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the canteen is huge, and the windows are full of water vapor. Chi Nuan smelled the mixed smell of all kinds of food, and the familiar cold fragrance on Gu Ningzi.
It was impossible to smell across the dining table, so Chi Nuan couldn't tell if the memory was confusing him.
After a few people finished eating, they left the cafeteria together. In the lead-grey sky, snowflakes rustled down again. The roommates walked into the snow with umbrellas, Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi was empty-handed.
Chi Nuan didn't hesitate for too long. She gave Gu Ningzi her umbrella and ran after Xu Dan. Gu Ningzi reached out and grabbed her hat and pulled her back.
Gu Ningzi opened the umbrella, and the umbrella was moved above Chi Nuan's head.
They walked in silence, and there were snowball fights everywhere.
Chi Nuan turned her head and saw that Gu Ningzi lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the snow, she didn't know what she was thinking.
On the first floor of the teaching building, Gu Ningzi shook off the snowflakes on the umbrella and put it back to Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan went to pick up the umbrella handle, and the two touched their fingertips, avoiding each other in a tacit understanding.
Back in the classroom, the study committee members came to Chi Nuan with the topic to discuss. After the evening self-study bell rang, He Liwen walked in, and the study committee members ran back to their seats.
Chi Nuan buried her head in her homework, and the class time passed quickly. After class, Xu Dan went to Zhao Jingjing to ask for snacks. Chi Nuan was a little tired, propped her head up, and closed her eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Gu Ningzi's figure.
Chi Nuan had no choice but to open it, and Gu Ningzi sat in Xu Dan's place and looked at her.
Chi Nuan: "…"
Gu Ningzi put down the paper in her hand, pointed to a question, and said, "...this."
Chi Nuan never thought that Gu Ningzi would come to ask her questions. She took the test paper in a daze, and after a while, she reacted and went through her own.
She had finished the whole paper, facing her paper, she disassembled the steps to solve the problem, and explained it to Gu Ningzi one by one.
The two of them looked very calm, as if nothing had happened, as if those heartbeats and disappointments, smiles and tears were all forgotten over time in the unrecoverable yesterday.
This should be the best they can achieve, right
Chi Nuan was talking, realized something, and looked up at the podium. He Liwen did not leave between classes, but sat behind the podium. The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and He Liwen pursed her lips and smiled at her.
After the end of the evening self-study, back to the bedroom, Chi Nuan still reviewed the homework according to the study plan. Xu Dan brushed his phone while soaking his feet, and glanced at Chi Nuan inadvertently. After a few minutes, he glanced again. A few more minutes, aim again.
"..." Xu Dan asked cautiously, "Nuan Nuan, are you going to cry?"
Chi Nuan looked at the vanity mirror at the corner of the table.
The tip of his eyes in the mirror turned red, even if he deliberately raised the corners of his lips, he was still no match for the disappointment on his face.
"I'm really going to cry. If things go on like this, the red envelopes will also shrink when I go home for the New Year." Du Min sighed at the results of the monthly test.
Her words reminded Zhao Jingjing and Xu Dan. Zhao Jingjing took off the mask and Xu Dan stopped playing with her mobile phone. They both touched the schoolbag that had not been opened since they returned to the dormitory.
Chi Nuan sat in the chair, the feeling of collapse and weakness in her heart almost completely defeated her.
