The snow makes Jiang Xi feel romantic, but unfortunately the snow in the city is far less beautiful than in the mountains.

But fortunately, because of Pei Chongyuan, he enjoyed such a beautiful scenery.

The two hugged each other intimately in the snow, kissed happily, and held hands to build a snowman.

These two are guys with no childhood. Jiang Xi didn't like to play with other children when he was a child. He never built a snowman or had a snowball fight. Pei Chongyuan was strictly disciplined at home since he was a child. He was studying when others were playing. .

Thinking about it now, this turned out to be the first time they made a snowman in their lives.

The snow that has just fallen is loose and not sticky, and it is easy to disperse after forming a snowball.

Jiang Xi stood on the side directing, picking on the thorns by the way.

"You come here," Pei Chongyuan said, "I'll see if you can fix it."

Jiang Xi sneered disdainfully, walked over and bent down, and picked up a large handful of pure white snow from the ground. In the end, he couldn't make a big snowball.

Pei Chongyuan laughed loudly after his failure, but Jiang Xi stood up with a cold face, looked at him coldly, and suddenly threw a snowball by surprise.

The snowball just happened to be in the position of Pei Chongyuan's heart, Pei Chongyuan was startled, then covered his heart and said: "It's over, it's over, it's hit by an arrow."

Jiang Xi glanced at him in disgust, but didn't answer his words.

"Why didn't you ask me what arrow I hit?" Pei Chongyuan came over, squatted beside Jiang Xi and rolled snowballs with him.

"Then what kind of arrow did you hit?" Jiang Xi reluctantly cooperated with him in acting.

Pei Chongyuan smiled, leaned over and kissed Jiang Xi's red ear, and said, "Cupid's arrow."

After finishing speaking, both of them laughed, and Jiang Xi said, "Come on, don't say those disgusting things."

"Disgusting?" Pei Chongyuan pretended to be injured, and sat in the snow poking his mouth at the snow, "I confess to you, but you think I'm disgusting."

Jiang Xi turned to look at him, and then smiled.

The snow was still falling, and it was falling heavily. The branches in the yard not far away were broken by the thick snow, fell off, and were buried in the snow.

Jiang Xi had had enough quarrel with Pei Chongyuan, and found that the snowman couldn't be piled up, so he didn't force it anymore.

They lay and chatted in the snow without feeling cold at all.

"Brother Pei, I think of Kong Xun."

It has been nearly four years since Kong Xun passed away, and Jiang Xi still thinks of him every snowy winter.

The appearance and disappearance of a person seem to be very easy, and once they appear, they will be unforgettable, and once they disappear, they will never be seen again.

"I went to see him a while ago." Pei Chongyuan took out a cigarette from the pocket of his down jacket and asked Jiang Xi, "One?"

Jiang Xi stretched out his hand, waiting for Pei Chongyuan to light a cigarette for him.

The two lay in the ice and snow, smoking a cigarette, pillowed on the creamy white snow, looking at the gray sky.

"Kong Xun actually understands life better than I do," Pei Chongyuan said, "He told me a word before."

He took a drag on his cigarette, his eyes meeting the cool snowflakes that fell.

He said: "Several years ago, before we separated, Kong Xun said at that time, if one day we separated, I would feel so regretful that my stomach would turn green."

Pei Chongyuan laughed softly: "Everyone understands it, but I don't understand it myself."

Jiang Xi turned to look at him and took his hand.

"Brother said you are his best friend," Jiang Xi said, his eyes blurred with a white breath, "When he was diagnosed with cancer, he didn't intend to tell anyone, even me Now, I have to find a way to find someone to take over the bar, I asked him why he didn't come to you, he said you were in some trouble and couldn't be busy."

Pei Chongyuan frowned: "It was that time."

During that time, the loopholes in the contract gradually emerged, and Pei Chongyuan began to feel overwhelmed. Kong Xun made a phone call, but the two just chatted about the current situation. They both said that life was difficult, but neither of them said what happened to them.

Kong Xun did not mention his illness, but only told Pei Chongyuan not to torment his body too much. Work is important, but health is more important.

As for Pei Chongyuan, he didn't mention that he might stumble, he just told Kong Xun to go drink after he was busy, and he wouldn't return if he wasn't drunk.

Don't get drunk.

But they never saw each other again.

They don't want their friends to worry about themselves, and the result is that they all have regrets in vain.

"I was quite scared for a while," Jiang Xi said, "Because of the big brother, I even wondered if you also got some terminal illness and hid alone, otherwise why didn't you show up for so long."

Jiang Xi took a puff of cigarette and said with a wry smile: "When the eldest brother was alive, we both deliberately didn't mention you, but he should also want to see you."

At this time, I look back at the road I have traveled, and it seems that the grievances and resentments have become less bitter. After being relieved, after re-accepting myself and another life, what happened at that time seems to be the past, and the distance is far away. up.

It's just very embarrassing, the people who were once so fresh and familiar will really never be seen again.

"I was quite scared back then." Pei Chongyuan smiled wryly, smoking a cigarette, "Maybe I didn't mention it to you, but I was really scared every day at that time. In that kind of place, people can't live like people."

He took a deep breath and sighed: "What am I afraid of? I'm afraid that after I come out, I won't even have the courage and qualifications to stand in front of you."

Jiang Xi looked at him.

Pei Chongyuan is not easy to expose his weaknesses, he always hides his weakness and cowardly side, no matter whether he is facing someone close to him or not, he will never let the other party feel even a little bit of his emptiness.

But today, probably because of thinking of Kong Xun, Pei Chongyuan rarely cut himself open.

"I'm really surprised that the two of us can have today's results." Pei Chongyuan looked at him with a smile, "Thank you for giving me face."

Jiang Xi also smiled at him, turned over and pressed down to kiss someone.

"Let's go and see him together after we go back," Jiang Xi said, "He should really want to see the two of us go there together."

The snow fell for several days in a row, and the snowmen of Jiang Xi and Pei Chongyuan were finally piled up before New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, the two got up early, pasted Spring Festival couplets on the gate, and pasted blessing characters on all the doors in the house.

Pei Chongyuan said: "This is what my mother told me. During the Chinese New Year, 'Fu' is pasted on every door, so that blessings can come in."

Speaking of his mother, Jiang Xi remembered that Pei Chongyuan probably hadn't been with her for several years.

"Where is Auntie celebrating the New Year?"

"Abroad." Pei Chongyuan smiled, "Didn't I tell you? She found a foreign husband before, and she is doing well now."

Jiang Xi smiled: "I really haven't heard you say that."

"Originally, I said that I would take you to meet her during the Chinese New Year this year, but their family went on a trip, and you just wanted to come here. Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Xi glanced at him, embarrassed to say that he really wanted to meet Pei Chongyuan's mother.

Having met, it was as if their relationship was affirmed.

Jiang Xi knew that the two of them could not get married in such a social environment. He didn't really care about the paper certificate, but just hoped to be recognized.

Probably because I have never felt the warmth of a family since I was a child, so I fear and look forward to "family".

At night, the two put their laptops there while making dumplings and waited to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Both of them haven't watched the Spring Festival Gala for many years, so it's not interesting.

But inexplicably looking forward to this year.

Pei Chongyuan joked: "We seem to be two boring old men."

However, the signal on the mountain is not good, and the network is not good. Watching a live broadcast for 30 seconds can get stuck for 3 minutes.

Jiang Xi said, "It's like constipation."

Pei Chongyuan laughed at him and taught him how to make dumplings.

Each of the two had a plate, and they wrapped their own bags and placed them on their own plates.

Pei Chongyuan's dumplings were full of energy and had a bulging belly, but Jiang Xi really didn't know how to make them, so the dumplings made were very funny.

When the two of them cooked dumplings, they used a pot for each person, and cooked slowly over low heat, for fear that the filling would be exposed.

Pei Chongyuan said: "Let's eat and cook by ourselves tonight."

Insinuating that Jiang Xi's dumplings are ugly, he doesn't eat them.

In the end, when it was cooked, he still gave Jiang Xi his plate.

Pei Chongyuan said: "Have you heard of it? If there is sugar in the dumplings for Chinese New Year, the next year will be sweet for the whole year."

Jiang Xi bit down, his face wrinkled by the taste of the dumplings.

"Did you put sugar?"

Pei Chongyuan said with a smile: "Yes, everyone secretly put sugar, you have to eat them all."

He counted the dumplings: "There are 20 dumplings in this plate. Let's keep your sweetness for [-] years first, and continue next year. There can't be any left."

So, on this New Year's Eve, Jiang Xi was forced to eat nineteen strange-tasting dumplings, and he forcibly fed the last one to Pei Chongyuan.

"You must eat one," Jiang Xi said, "Eat this one, and I guarantee you will be sweet for at least the next year."

"Just keep me for a year?"

"Yes," Jiang Xi said, "I'm not like you, so be cautious and decide whether to give you candy next year based on your performance next year."

Pei Chongyuan ate the dumpling dumbfounded, and said with emotion: "Next time, you can't buy mint-flavored candy, it's too sweet."

Eating dumplings, watching the Spring Festival Gala intermittently.

Jiang Xi remembered the first time he celebrated the New Year with Pei Chongyuan that year, so many years had passed in a flash.

At twelve o'clock, the two went to the yard to set off fireworks. Jiang Xi's face was flushed by the bright and dark fireworks. Pei Chongyuan asked him loudly, "Any plans for the New Year?"

Jiang Xi looked at him, smiled, but didn't speak.

There is a plan.

I bought the house rented by Pei Chongyuan next door, and opened the wall between the two houses, which is convenient and spacious.

But he doesn't plan to tell Pei Chongyuan for the time being, because he plans to be Pei Chongyuan's second landlord for a while, to tease him. Anyway, life is boring, so just have some fun if you have nothing to do.

"What's your plan?" Jiang Xi asked.

Pei Chongyuan said: "There really are."

He put his hands on Jiang Xi's shoulders, looked at the burnt fireworks and said, "The plan is to at least let you tell me that you love me, whether it's cheating or abducting."

Jiang Xi smiled: "You love me."

"Well, I love you."

The two looked at each other in the darkened courtyard. After a long time, Jiang Xi suddenly said, "Brother Pei, I love you."
