The winter in country M came very early. As November just started, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky.
Cheng Chu held an umbrella and wrapped a heavy scarf, walked into the apartment, and met Zhou Yanshi head-on.
"Morning, get out of class is over?" Zhou Yanshi came out of the elevator, saw Cheng Chu, and hurriedly stopped and asked.
Cheng Chu nodded, "Well, just after class, go home for a rest, there is a concert in the afternoon."
Last year, there were only three classmates in Haiyin who came to K University for exchange, and Zhou Yanshi was also one of them. Coincidentally, the apartment he rented was in the same building as Cheng Chu.
Cheng Chu initially kept a distance, but after a period of contact, she found that Zhou Yanshi's attitude towards her was no different from that of ordinary classmates, so she also regarded him as a friend and chatted a few times when she saw him.
The bright marble tiles in the apartment reflected the light, making it hurt to the eyes.
Zhou Yanshi said, "By the way, how is your group project doing?"
Although one of them played the piano and the other played the violin, several classes were repeated this semester.
One of the subjects did not have a final exam, but only had to hand in a group assignment. The group members were assigned immediately. Unfortunately, Cheng Chu was assigned to a few foreign students who were completely unfamiliar.
She seemed to be in a hurry, speaking much faster than usual, "It should be faster, my part is done anyway."
Zhou Yanshi said solemnly: "It will be handed in next Monday, let me know if you need any help."
"Okay, thank you." Cheng Chu nodded.
Zhou Yanshi smiled gently: "Then I'll go first."
He was born gentle and handsome, and when he smiled, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, making people feel like a spring breeze.
When he got home, Cheng Chu threw the satchel on the sofa, and before he could untie the scarf, he ran to the computer and pressed the video button.
The waiting bell echoed in the empty apartment, and it stopped abruptly within two seconds.
As soon as the screen went dark, Gu Miao's cold face appeared the next second.
"Chuchu." He called out in a low voice, his cold eyebrows flowing with warmth.
Cheng Chu untied the scarf around his neck and said, "Brother Miao, I'm sorry, I just got out of class, so please wait for a long time, you should be in the middle of the night."
"It's alright." Gu Miao smiled tolerantly, "It's just over one o'clock, and I happen to be working today."
Gu Miao has officially joined the company since graduating last year, but a few days ago, the company was turbulent, and several senior core personnel left.
He is also one of them. After weighing the pros and cons, he still stayed to share weal and woe with the company.
Now that the company is revitalized, he has been promoted continuously, and his annual salary has risen to seven figures.
But not enough.
The night in the sea market was very quiet and cold. The howling cold wind got into the window. There was no heating in the bedroom. The late night in the harsh winter was more suitable for him to think and work.
The man's black eyes were bottomless, and he silently looked at the girl in the video.
They hadn't seen each other for almost a year, but misses didn't decrease with time. Instead, it was like an addictive poison, unknowingly seeping into the blood and bones, making people unable to extricate themselves.
Cheng Chu pursed his lips and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't stay up all night every day, you will get old very fast if you stay up late, and you won't be handsome by then."
Gu Miao's fingertips stagnated, her black eyes flashed with layers of thick emotions, and the corner of her mouth tickled slightly, "Got it."
"Exercise more, don't know how to work every day."
The smile gradually flowed from the corner of his mouth into the bottomless black eyes, and the cold fingertips showed warmth that did not belong to the cold winter.
"Okay." He replied obediently, almost responsive.
"Go out with friends more, don't be bored at home." The girl's voice was crisp, melting into the cold night wind, creating a strange warmth.
Gu Miao nodded, and finally couldn't help but say, "So do you."
These were clearly the words he should have told him, but they were all finished by the girl.
He was afraid of being disliked and nagged, so he could only respond astringently, "You too".
Sure enough, the girl who was chatting just now pouted and became quiet.
"I see." She said dully, "I've finished the sauce you sent me earlier."
Gu Miao hurriedly said, "Then I'll send it to you again."
"Yeah." The girl raised her eyes, and in her bright peach blossom eyes, there was a shallow thought circling.
"Brother Miao, there is one more year." She lowered her head, her butterfly-like eyelashes were originally covered with frost and snow in winter, but when the heat blew, it turned into water and hung wetly on her eyelashes.
Gu Miao's throat was slightly stemmed, and her heart was full of pain, but she still said hard: "Soon."
Cold nights.
The two only said a few words, and it was already two o'clock.
Cheng Chu blinked, with reluctance in his eyes, but he still said cruelly: "It's two o'clock, you go to bed now."
Gu Miao lowered her eyes, her hand holding the edge of the notebook stiffened, but she still managed to answer in a low voice: "Okay, you should go to rest quickly, don't you mean there will be a concert in the afternoon?"
"Well, goodbye brother Miao." The girl said softly.
The mouse on the screen was stuck on the red kill button, and she waited for him to hang up first.
But the other party seems to think so too.
The surroundings were silent, neither of the two said a word. The coldness of the winter night seemed to penetrate into the house, and then slowly penetrated into the heavy sweater and penetrated into the bones.
Cheng Chu's heart trembled, and his fingers stopped rigidly on the touchpad.
"Brother Miao, I'm hanging up." She paused and said softly.
The dark clouds covered the moon, and the sky fell into darkness.
The screen also dimmed.
Gu Miao looked at the computer and sat for a long time before suddenly remembering the girl's advice, and hurriedly got up and went to bed.
Life at K University is very fulfilling. The piano major holds concerts every month, and teachers and students from the whole school can come and watch.
But there are very few people who can perform on stage, and only a few are selected from all the piano students at a time.
The lights are dazzling, and the sound of the piano echoes in the concert hall, sometimes high and sometimes low.
One song must, the girl on the piano chair slowly stood up.
The concert hall in winter is not cold, the snow-white dress wraps the girl's slender figure, and the bright light is like the satin floating on the moon, lightly sprinkled on her body, making her skin white as snow.
There was warm applause from the audience.
Since there were not many people on stage to perform, the concert ended quickly.
Cheng Chu and all the piano students were kept by the professor.
Philip's classroom is well-known. As a leading figure in the piano world, many of the current popular pianists were once his students.
This old professor has always been known for his sternness, and he may not have a word of praise from his mouth for a month.
But this time, he turned around, and his slightly cloudy eyes revealed a slight smile.
"Well done, Cheng."
That understatement of praise attracted the envious eyes of many people, and also made Cheng Chu happy all day.
When we left the concert hall, a bright moon hung in the sky.
Cheng Chu returned home in the wind and snow.
The food on the table was already cold, and the cream of mushroom soup was covered with a film that made people lose their appetite.
Cheng Chu poured a glass of warm water, sat in front of the piano and took a few sips, then lowered his head and started practicing.
When she first came to K University, she also suffered some blows.
For the first time, the girl who urinated on the stars and held the moon, tasted the taste of frustration, and for the first time deeply understood the meaning of being someone outside.
But none of that beat her.
When he failed, he got up, brushed the soil from the wound at will, and continued to walk forward.
Gradually, she gained the approval of the professor and went to several concerts. Today, she finally got a word of praise from the professor.
All students understand what that admiration means.
When you have the eyes of this music master, you will have more contacts and a higher vision in the music industry. He never hesitates to give opportunities to students he admires.
Cheng Chu understood that he had to hold these firmly in his hands.
This apartment is built next to K, so most of the people who live there are music students. The sound insulation of each room is excellent. Even if you practice the piano in the middle of the night, it will not disturb the neighbors.
Two hours of piano practice passed by in a hurry.
The pitch-black lid was closed with a snap, and Cheng Chu realized that there was only one day left for the group project that Zhou Yanshi said in the morning.
She found her phone from the dinner table, opened What's app, and messaged the group.
This group includes Cheng Chu, there are three people in total, and the other two are foreigners, so they get together.
Cheng Chu worded carefully and asked if the rest of them were done
The clock on the wall ticked, and neither of them replied until the cup of warm water on the table had cooled down.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, thinking that there were still several songs to be familiar with tomorrow, and forced herself to go to bed.
In the middle of the night, the closed curtains blocked the moonlight.
Cheng Chu's sleep has always been very light, there was a violent vibration on the bedside table, she frowned and opened her eyes.
The mobile phone next to him continued to vibrate, one message after another.
Cheng Chu fumbled to open the phone and found that it was a message from two other team members.
"Cheng, we won't do the rest of that group."
"Yes, Cheng, I have exams for other classes these two days, so I don't have time."
"You have done the rest"
The air conditioner in the room was humming slightly.
But in an instant, the sound seemed to be amplified countless times, like thousands of bugs, burrowing into Cheng Chu's mind.
She felt a piercing pain in her temple, and the little spark hidden in her heart was fanned by a gust of wind, and the fire burned unscrupulously.
The phone in his hand was still vibrating softly.
Cheng Chu didn't even read the messages they sent, and replied directly.
"That's your part, why should I do it"
There was a quick reply, and he didn't look busy at all.
"We won't and don't have the time"
"If you don't do it, just hand it over like this. Anyway, the three of us will fail the exam together."
They knew that Cheng Chu was an exchange student, and if there was a failed subject, it would be included in the file, and the file would follow her back to China.
He knocked out his teeth and swallowed. This is Cheng Chu's only solution.
With the heater on, the room was a little dry, she got up and took a sip of cold water, and the fire in her heart subsided a little.
When the professor assigned this assignment, she gave them half a month, and she had to finish it this evening.
No material, no data, nothing.
She has never touched this part of what the other two are going to do.
At night, the snow was flying, and the street lights quietly dyed the snow with warm colors.
Cheng Chu sat at the table and drank half of the American food in front of her, but the bitterness seemed to flow down her throat into her heart.
For a moment, she looked at the snow and ice outside the window, and tears almost fell from her eyes.
But crying is just a waste of time.
So she sniffed, suppressed her sourness, lowered her head and started to do the homework of the three.
There was a hint of fish belly white on the silent sky.
The early morning wind was very cold, and the wind and snow blew the windows muffled.
Cheng Chu's head was already chaotic, she submitted her homework forcefully, lay on the bed with a splitting headache, and fell asleep in a daze.
She was awakened by a doorbell.
Her body seemed to have been sucked out of anger, she seemed to have used up all her strength to raise her hand, her steps were vain, and she slowly moved to the door against the wall.
Zhou Yanshi stood at the door, with frost and snow on his jet-black hair. Seeing her opening the door, he quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? This is? I didn't go to class today, and I won't be able to send you a message."
The snowy day was a bit gloomy, and the incandescent lights in the corridor made the girl's face flush.
He felt the hot breath of the girl's voice, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you? Have a fever?"
Cheng Chu only felt his ears roar, and the figures in front of him became illusory.
She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she collapsed beside the door with a bang.
