It was the first time for Tang Zhou to wake up to the sound of roosters.
The sun shone on the snow, reflecting a more dazzling light, jumping mischievously on Tang Zhou's eyelids through the gap in the window.
The blanket was as warm as spring, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a biting chill, and he really didn't want to get up.
There was no one in the house, and the courtyard was quiet.
Tang Zhou stayed on the kang for a while, struggling to force himself to get up and get dressed.
Just as his feet touched the ground, there was movement in the yard. Tang Zhou opened the curtain and went out of the inner room, and happened to bump into Fu Shen who entered the room.
Their eyes met, and the cold air suddenly thickened.
Fu Shen put down the things in his hand and strode over, "Why don't you sleep more?"
"You didn't mean to make dumplings together last night." Tang Zhou's eyes fell on the bags.
Fu Shen's eyes were gentle, he took the opportunity to take the person in his arms, bowed his head and wanted to kiss him.
Tang Zhou reached out to cover his mouth, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Fu Shen looked at him faintly, pecked and kissed on his palm several times before letting go.
He personally took the hot water for Tang Zhou and squeezed the toothpaste. While Tang Zhou was brushing his teeth, he mixed the face wash and poured another cup of hot water and put it there to cool.
Service is extremely attentive.
After Tang Zhou washed up, he took a few sips of hot water to warm his stomach, and said with a refreshing look, "What did you just bring back?"
"I went out to buy some New Year's goods." Fu Shen kissed his moist lips, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"
Tang Zhou didn't pick, "I'll eat what you do."
The farmhouse was burning the stove. Tang Zhou felt novel when he accompanied Fu Shen to make breakfast. He sat there and fiddled twice, almost putting out the fire, and then looked at Fu Shen innocently.
Fu Shen didn't want to talk about him, he even thought he was cuter like this.
When breakfast was on the table, Tang Zhou had the intention to carefully observe the situation in the room.
The house looks very old, and the tables for eating are full of historical vicissitudes.
Tang Zhou looked out through the door and could see rolling hills not far away.
Digging out the memory of yesterday, he found that Fu Shen's house was a little far away from other houses in the village, and this one house stood alone.
He was curious and asked, "I see that other families in the village live very close together. Why don't you have neighbors around your house?"
Fu Shen paused and said calmly, "My mother gave birth out of wedlock. Grandpa didn't want her to hear other people gossiping, so he moved away."
Tang Zhou felt sore in his heart.
Even if they were far away, they were still in the same village. I don't know how much gossip Fu Shen heard when he was a child.
Maybe those people are not malicious, but the speaker has no intention of listening, and those harsh words will definitely leave an indelible shadow in Fu Shen's heart when he was a child.
Tang Zhou decisively changed the topic: "Are you going to post Spring Festival couplets today? Let's go after dinner!"
Fu Shen raised the corners of his lips, "I have to go to the mountain to visit the grave after dinner. You stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Tang Zhou immediately said, "I'll go too!"
"It just snowed, and the mountain road is not easy to walk." Fu Shen didn't want him to be affected.
Tang Zhou said sternly: "I want to meet them."
He kidnapped other people's children and grandchildren, so he had to tell the elders.
Fu Shen's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, "Okay, let's go together."
After the snow, it is clear and the mountains are beautiful.
Fu Shen led Tang Zhou along the sheep intestine path to the cemetery.
In winter, the mountains are covered with snow, and occasionally a little pine green appears, adding a bit of liveliness and cuteness.
Tang Zhou took a deep breath and praised: "The air here is so good."
No matter how beautiful the villas in the city are, the air is not as fresh as the one here.
Fu Shen held his hand firmly, "Maybe it won't be so good after a few years."
Development is being carried out everywhere, and the treasure land of Longtan Village will be taken care of sooner or later.
Before Longxin Real Estate wanted to build a holiday villa, it did have some sincerity, and the disgusting "lover" of Tang Zhou was just incidental.
Unfortunately, Longxin no longer exists.
It didn't take long for Tang Zhou to see two tombstones, one "Fu Guang" and one "Fu Junlan".
Judging from the title, Fu Guang is Fu Shen's grandfather, and Fu Junlan is Fu Shen's mother who died young.
Therefore, the word "blue" in "Deep Blue" is taken from the name of Fu Shen's mother.
Fu Shen looked at the tombstone with no grief on his face, even a faint smile.
"I'm here to see you," he said, holding Tang Zhou's hand tightly, "and my lover."
Tang Zhou was a little shy: "Grandpa Fu, Aunt Fu, how are you?"
Fu Shen raised the corners of his lips, like a child showing off in front of adults, "Is he very good? You must like him very much."
Tang Zhou also praised him: "Fu Shen is excellent now. He did well in school, won a scholarship, won first place in competitions, and even founded a company, which is really amazing."
Fu Shen was amused by him, and the low, dumb smile quietly fell in Tang Zhou's heart, both soft and heavy.
It was hard for him to imagine how Fu Shen came here alone for so many years, but he knew very well that Fu Shen would not be alone in the future.
"Fu Shen, when you graduate, let's get married."
Tang Zhou's cold and calm voice sounded quietly in the lonely forest.
It was like a thunderclap on the ground, and it exploded in Fu Shen's ears.
He was so stunned that he was speechless, and after a while, he reacted: "Baby, what did you just say?"
Tang Zhou smiled at him.
"When you graduate, shall we get married?"
He wanted to be with Fu Shen for a lifetime.
Fu Shen stared at him blankly, his amber eyes seemed to glow with water under the sunlight. The water light disappeared in a flash, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
He hugged Tang Zhou tightly, buried his face in his neck, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I really want to graduate soon."
He even thought that he might be able to complete the credits earlier and get the graduation certificate earlier.
On the way down the mountain, the two occasionally met people from the village. The villagers rarely saw the beautiful descendants from outside, and they chatted with Tang Zhou endlessly.
Not to praise Fu Shen's studies, but to lament Fu Shen's hardships over the years.
Fu Shen was helpless, but Tang Zhou listened very seriously.
They are all witnesses of Fu Shen's past. Through their words, he can draw a picture of a young Fu Shen who is struggling to make progress in his mind.
It was almost noon when we got home, and the two worked together to paste the Spring Festival couplets and start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.
For two people to eat, there is no need to make too much for the New Year's Eve dinner, dumplings and a few dishes are enough.
Tang Zhou wanted to learn how to make dumplings with Fu Shen, but Fu Shen said, "Dumpling making will make your hands cold."
"But you didn't say you wanted to be together yesterday."
Fu Shen smiled.
Tang Zhou: "..." OK.
In the past, Fu Shen used to get some food casually. This year, he was extra careful. Although he was a little tired, his heart was full of happiness.
He has even forgotten the hatred he had when he left Longtan Village.
Qiao Chengan had not appeared in his mind for a long time.
Tang Zhou looked at the beautiful dumplings he made and asked, "Is there a movie theater in the county?"
"Want to watch a movie?"
"Well, Lu Ye said that the movie will be released on the first day of the new year. Let's go watch it together?"
Fu Shen suddenly raised his head, his deep eyes glowed with a very gentle light, "Baby, let's go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow."
"What's wrong?"
Fu Shen said, "I want to go back. Besides, the theaters in Jiangcheng are better than those in the county."
He was reluctant to let Tang Zhou freeze with him here. His sweet porridge should stay in a big house as warm as spring, not in such a remote, dry and cold mountain village.
Tang Zhou nodded, "Okay."
As night fell, the village was full of New Year's Eve, and every household was very lively. After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone gathered around chatting, playing cards and watching TV. The children held fairy sticks in their hands and ran around together.
Tang Zhou stood in the yard, looking at these scenes from a distance, thinking of the years he had spent before, and felt that it was all wasted.
"Want to watch the fireworks?" Fu Shen walked behind him and hugged him.
Tang Zhou turned his head, "Can you let it go?"
"Well. I'll get it."
The fireworks were big and heavy. Fu Shen put them outside the yard, lit the lead, and returned to the yard to hold Tang Zhou's hand.
"Boom-bang-"
The first fireworks bloomed under the vast night sky, and the magnificence and splendor made Tang Zhou open his eyes slightly.
The ground beneath his feet trembled because of the loud noise, and his heart also trembled.
He raised his head and watched the entire fireworks show without falling to the ground. His eyes were shining, and he said sincerely, "It's beautiful."
He stared at the fireworks, and Fu Shen stared at him.
It is beautiful indeed.
"It's cold outside, let's go back to the house." Fu Shen said softly.
Tang Zhou followed in his footsteps and was exceptionally docile.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard the door slam shut. Before Tang Zhou could say anything, Fu Shen suddenly hugged him from behind and kissed his side cheek and earlobe.
The face that was blown by the cold wind suddenly felt the warm touch, and instantly burned.
Tang Zhou took the initiative to turn around and kissed him.
When he got to the emotional place, Fu Shen directly picked him up, from the main room to the back room, all the way to the kang.
Fu Shen just kissed him, clasping his hands on the back of his neck, but this time the kiss was very long and deep, as if all the love in his heart would be poured out.
Tang Zhou's lips and tongue were numb by the end, and he could only passively follow his rhythm, whimpering from time to time.
"Don't kiss, if you kiss again, you'll be swollen tomorrow." Tang Zhou muttered with mist in his eyes.
Fu Shen smiled and pecked a few times, "It's okay, it's normal to wear a mask in winter."
Tang Zhou: "..."
Fu Shen didn't want to bully him anymore, got up and said, "I'll prepare hot water for you to wash."
"it is good."
After washing, the two got into the bed and hugged each other.
Tang Zhou was not cold at all, just felt at ease.
The village outside was quiet and peaceful, with the occasional barking of dogs adding to the liveliness.
"Fu Shen, according to Qiao Yuan, Aunt Sheng has already mastered a lot of Qiao Cheng'an's handle, and maybe he will be expelled through legal means and the board of directors after the year."
Fu Shen sniffed the fragrance of his hair, and said casually, "It's good."
"Then what are your plans?"
Fu Shen thought for a while, "Continue to conquer the project after the year, try to complete it before April as much as possible, and strive for the distribution license."
Tang Zhou couldn't help but ask, "What about Qiao Cheng'an?"
"What's up with him?"
Tang Zhou blinked and said nothing.
Fu Shen stopped teasing him, and said sternly: "Baby, before I met you, I did have those thoughts, and I even thought that if one day I could really beat him, I would bring him here and let him go. He knelt down at the graves of his mother and grandfather to repent."
Tang Zhou's fingertips trembled slightly, "What about now?"
"Now I understand," he kissed Tang Zhou's nose, "he doesn't deserve it."
His mother, his grandfather, must not want to see that scum again.
And he himself, who now has the most beautiful lover in the world, why waste his time on irrelevant people
Hatred is just the driving force he used to motivate himself to work hard.
But now, there is inner support that is more worthy of his struggle.
That is love.
