In a blink of an eye, time flies, and one third of my first semester in college has passed in no time. October has passed, Yancheng ushered in a new November, the cold has really come to this land, and winter has finally come.
The students in the school put on thick overcoats and down jackets one after another, and I was no exception. Compared to Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong from the south, I wore thicker clothes than them.
"Ah Choo!" I rubbed my nose and shivered all over.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong both laughed.
"It's a shame that you are still a northerner, so you are so afraid of the cold."
"Even if the outdoor temperature drops below zero in the north, there is still heating in the house." I protested, "Before I came to Yancheng, I thought that the southern cities would be very warm in winter, but I didn't expect it to be so cold! And the temperature inside and outside the house are the same!"
"Of course." Shi Yitong interjected, "Didn't you hear the saying on the Internet that the cold in the north is a physical attack, and the cold in the south is a magical attack? A small body like yours can at most withstand a physical attack , the magic defense is zero, hahaha!"
"Besides, it doesn't snow in Yancheng in winter." Su Xiaoyun said regretfully, "I have never seen that kind of white snow since I grew up. I have seen the little snowflakes floating, but it is a pity The South can't accumulate."
I immediately wailed, "If it's still snowing in this cold, I won't be alive!"
Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong immediately ridiculed me for my miserable appearance, and all the students passing by looked at us with crazy eyes.
In fact, I know in my heart that there is probably another reason why I am so afraid of the cold this winter. That was being spoiled by Wen Jiubai's old house.
I should have mentioned before that no matter the four seasons in Wen Jiubai's old house, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are always green and unbeatable. At the same time, this also means that as long as Wen Jiubai is in the old house, the temperature inside is very warm and pleasant. Enough for those flowers to grow and bloom. Although I don't know what technique Wen Jiubai used to maintain the temperature in the house, this natural heat air conditioner that is environmentally friendly, energy-saving and does not use electricity is really attractive. It caused me to go to the old house almost every day in the past week to warm my frozen heart.
"Gu Yu, if I didn't know you well, I would suspect that you skipped class to keep your hands and feet warm."
Wen Jiubai was still wearing the thin gown, his long hair was tied in a strand hanging behind his head, and he was holding a blooming rose flower in his hand, carefully cutting off the spikes on the flower stem with scissors.
I was quite dissatisfied with Wen Jiubai's framing, "What are you skipping classes for, you have taught our major for so long, don't you know what an excellent student I am?"
"Really?" Wen Jiubai laughed, "I've never seen a student who dozed off in class called an outstanding student."
"That's not because you insisted on dragging me to talk about everything the night before." I rolled my eyes.
"That's why you're slandering people." Wen Jiubai said "tsk tsk", "You're the one we chatted most excitedly, right?"
I had nothing to say, and lay down in front of the porch again, looking at the blue sky above my head, enjoying the warm spring-like wind blowing across my cheeks.
In the past few days, there have been no customers in the old house, and even fewer patients came to fetch medicine than before. So Wen Jiubai simply hung a rest sign on the gate, and lived a leisurely life like a fairy behind closed doors.
Of course, as a wage earner, I wish I could steal half a day's leisure, that's why there was such a boring quarrel like just now.
Wen Jiubai trimmed the rose flower in his hand, and put it together with several other flowers in a plain ceramic vase. I squinted my eyes to see the movements in his hands, and had to admire Wen Jiubai in my heart. For a craft like flower arrangement that requires both patience and aesthetic ability, I probably wouldn't be able to learn it in three lifetimes.
But when I looked at it this way, I suddenly noticed that there was a small fish tank full of water next to the vase, and a small red goldfish was swimming around in the water with its tail wagging.
"Goldfish?" I muttered. Was there a goldfish in Wen Jiubai's room before
"Ah, this." Wen Jiubai noticed my gaze, and also looked at the fish tank, "This fish was just given to me by a friend today. I can't shirk it, so I took it here and put it here. It just so happens that you have nothing to do, so help me feed this goldfish."
"Your friend again?" I stood up straight from the floor, walked to the fish tank, and knocked on the glass of the fish tank with my hand, "You don't look very social, but you have friends all over the world."
I saw a pack of fish food next to the fish tank, so I took it apart, poured a little in the palm of my hand, and sprinkled it evenly on the water.
At the beginning, the goldfish was a little shy, but after several trials, it seemed that it finally lost to its growling stomach, swam up to the surface of the water, and ate all the fish food one after another.
"This little guy is quite edible." Seeing the goldfish still swimming near the water surface looking for something to eat, I couldn't help but put a finger in and touched the water surface. His fingers regarded it as something to eat, and he pecked at it in one bite.
"Hahaha... It seems that it quite likes me."
"It's because your fingers are too fleshy, let it be food." Wen Jiubai joked.
"It's not, look." I reached out and knocked on the glass of the fish tank, and the goldfish immediately swam towards the place where the sound was made, "It likes me."
Wen Jiubai showed a helpless expression, "Forget it, you can say whatever you want. However, you are not a goldfish, so you cannot know what a goldfish is thinking. Maybe the goldfish sees you through the water surface as a huge Just a monster."
I suddenly felt that most of my interest was swept away by Wen Jiubai, straightened up and looked at him, "You can't say that, even if they are different creatures, there are still some basic emotions in common. Such as like, hate, anger , fear... and so on, these emotions can be felt even without verbal communication."
Wen Jiubai pondered for a while, "However, so what if you can feel it?"
"Huh?" I didn't respond.
"Humans and goldfish are different species. Even if there are any simple feelings that can be empathized, they can't be conveyed." Wen Jiubai walked over with a smile, and stood in front of the fish tank, "This end of the water and the other end of the water It's a completely different world, and you even see different things with your eyes, let alone the issue of resonance."
I was a little unconvinced, and was still racking my brains to think about how to refute him, but was interrupted by this guy's words.
"It's the same even for human beings. They live at different heights and see different worlds. It's impossible for the two to be bound together." Wen Jiubai said, knocking on the fish tank with a smile.
