first love

"My finger was poked again, it hurts so much."

On the screen, Yue Qiu held up a needle to complain to Wen Lan, while on the table was a scarf that had only been woven a few rows, and it seemed that it was nowhere near completion.

Wen Lan also holds a tool for knitting gloves, but he is skillful in his movements. He knits while chatting without hurting himself: "Don't worry, just follow the tutorial slowly. Uh, apart from accidentally pricking your hands, you will also encounter Any other questions?"

Yue Qiu took out a small notebook, and these days she wrote down everything she couldn't figure out on paper, just so that she could get answers to her questions during the video chat with "Teacher Wen".If it really doesn't work, she still plans to secretly bring things to the classroom, please Wen Lan to teach by hand.

"You're so stupid, it's better to choose the simplest stitch." Xie Nanqun, who was helping her boyfriend arrange the ball of wool, raised his head and casually said something to the screen.

"Wen Lan, take care of that talkative guy in your family—" Yue Qiu roared.

Knowing that the two were just joking, Wen Lan raised his foot and gently rubbed the leg of the person beside him, and said, "Okay, Brother Qun, give me the dark gray thread." Looking at the screen again, "You Don't always talk about him, I'm angry."

Xie Nanqun was very obedient: "Okay."

Yue Qiu was furious: "Huh!" After a while, he began to envy again, "Oh, can we knit it well before Christmas... If only I were as ingenious as you!"

I used to be afraid of being called a "sissy" by exposing these small hobbies, but now Wen Lan doesn't care anymore, and happily replied: "Practice makes perfect. By the way, don't be disturbed by other things, just concentrate on learning the tutorial, according to this Progress is fine."

Yue Qiu couldn't keep his mouth idle, and as they chatted, the two of them talked about recent experiences, such as who broke up with whom, and who was interested in whom. She is very good at searching for such gossip.Hearing Wen Lan say that he met a couple when he went shopping that day, Yue Qiu caught the words "there is a scar on the neck", and couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Hey, are you tall and thin, quite white, with white hair? Is it fluffy when dyed brown?"

"It seems to be. Do you know him?" Wen Lan asked.

"Ha, if it's the person I know..." Yue Qiu rolled his eyes, "Maybe it's Tian Yu's boyfriend? Or maybe he walks with her often? Anyway, their relationship is quite strange, so I didn't ask much. .”

Wen Lan frowned all of a sudden: "It wasn't Tian Yu we met that day."

"Oh, maybe it's an ambiguous object. Nowadays, people who get close are not necessarily girlfriends." Yue Qiu didn't think so.

"That's right." Wen Lan sighed.

……

Before Christmas, Yue Qiu finally finished knitting the scarf, and asked Wen Lan to check it again before packing it excitedly.And Wen Lan's couple's gloves were also finished, and Xie Nanqun tried them on, and they fit very well, but it seemed too high-profile to wear them at school, so the two decided to wait until they went shopping.

However, on the eve of Christmas, Wen Lan suddenly received a call from Aunt Fang from the nursing home: "...it is Mrs. Hong's family who are going to pick her up in two days, so she wants to see you .” When she said this, her tone was a little apprehensive, probably because she was afraid that they would have activities during the festival.

Wen Lan was a little happy, but at the same time felt disappointed: "This is a good thing. It happens that we are going out, can we go there tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay!" Aunt Fang raised her voice, as if she was saying to the old lady, "Did you hear that? Two boys are coming to see you!" Then she turned back, "I'll wait for you!"

Wen Lan smiled: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately ran to the balcony. Xie Nanqun just came out of the bathroom and was thrown into his arms, feeling very surprised: "What's the matter?"

"Brother Qun, let's visit the old lady in the nursing home tomorrow, she is going to America."

Xie Nanqun was surprised for a moment, and then agreed: "Well, since we are going, get up early to buy some gifts. Shall we go on a date at night?"

Wen Lan nodded again and again, and rubbed against the other's chest coquettishly, before going back to the room to rewrite tomorrow's plan.

The next afternoon, the two arrived at the nursing home as scheduled. Aunt Fang was waiting eagerly. When she saw them coming, she immediately smiled brightly: "Come in, it's very cold today. I've made barley tea for you!" , she walked ahead and brought the two of them to the room where the old lady was.

The old lady was reading a book wearing presbyopic glasses, and held Wen Lan's hand in great surprise: "Oh, I haven't seen you in half a month, and it looks good again!"

"No way." Wen Lan smiled and motioned Xie Nanqun to put the gift on the table, "We picked something for you to listen to, and there are already a lot of operas in it..."

"Why did you bring a gift?" The old lady purposely put on a straight face, and took out two red envelopes from her bosom, insisting on stuffing them into their hands, "Since you have the heart, I want to give you some gifts in return! Don't push them back!"

The two couldn't persuade her, and Aunt Fang at the side also expressed her helplessness, so she had no choice but to accept it.Then Xie Nanqun took out the song listening machine and taught the old lady how to turn it on and how to listen to songs. The operation of this thing is very simple, and the font and sound are very suitable for the elderly. I still need to learn some English abroad, can you help me get some textbooks?"

"Okay, this one can also be found online, I'll find it for you right away." Xie Nanqun deserved to be refreshed.

The few people chatted happily for a long time. The old lady kept holding Wen Lan's hand, reluctant to say: "What a wonderful child... I may not come back after this trip... My grandson also has a child, send me I posted a photo of my little grandson, with black hair and blue eyes, he is very cute. You young people have your own ideas, if you meet the right person, take good care of it!"

Wen Lan subconsciously glanced at Xie Nanqun, who was tinkering with the music player with his head down, curled his lips, and said to the old lady, "I found it, and I have agreed to get married as soon as I graduate."

The old lady suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes: "It's all planned? Not bad, not bad! You must study hard, work hard, call home when you have time, and don't be awkward with your partner." She was a little confused again, and her words had no logic , but they are all heartwarming exhortations.

At this moment, Xie Nanqun chuckled lightly and said, "I'm supervising him, don't worry!"

"Good good."

Before leaving, Wen Lan asked Aunt Fang to take a photo of the three of them. The old lady was very happy, and she smiled at the wrinkles on her face while pulling a "handsome guy" she called.

The night was getting late, and there was only time to go to the reserved restaurant to have a sumptuous dinner. It happened that someone was playing the violin, and the melody of jingle bells was full of atmosphere.The sadness in Wen Lan's heart slowly disappeared, remembering what the old lady said to him at the end, "What is today's foreign festival? Enjoy yourself", he couldn't help but smile brightly, and gave the pianist applause without hesitation.

Seeing him refreshed, Xie Nanqun breathed a sigh of relief, and raised the corners of his lips.

After dinner, the night sky is far away and vast, scattered stars flicker occasionally, like broken diamonds on velvet, if you accidentally knock it over, you won’t be able to see it.The street was very lively, the colorful neon lights contrasted with the noisy crowd, Wen Lan carefully held Xie Nanqun's hand in his glove, it was very warm.

Many passers-by saw the two boys wearing couple gloves, and cast various glances.There is surprise, curiosity, and indifference, and of course disgust.Also, a very small number of girls are whispering and have weird smiles on their faces.

Xie Nanqun felt the security of clasping fingers together: "Aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Wen Lan shook his head: "We are a couple." So holding hands, kissing or doing more intimate things are justified and have nothing to do with others.

Just like what he said to the old lady, it is true, without any hypocrisy——

"I found it, and we will get married after graduation."
