growing up

Ling Chao opened the door and got out of the car, and the two trotted over.

"Hey, Ling Chao!"

The two of them started shouting excitedly before they arrived.

Ling Chao walked towards them with a smile, and touched them with his fist.

Gu Yuan also got out of the car, Ling Chao beckoned to him, and when he stood beside him, he introduced: "My former classmates, Zeng Fei, Lu Jiantao. This is my friend Gu Yuan here. "

Gu Yuan didn't speak, but nodded at them as a greeting.

Those two didn't mind either, and followed Ling Chao to the hotel.

"I found that you are getting more and more handsome." Lu Jiantao bumped Ling Chao's shoulder: "I haven't seen you for a few months, why do you think it's been a long time?"

"You didn't have time to get together last time when you went back on October [-], and we specially prepared a welcome party for you!" Zeng Fei said.

"Last time I was really sorry for the unexpected situation. This time you come, I will definitely apologize to them." Ling Chao clasped his hands and apologized to them.

"There was so much rain in those few days that the plane couldn't fly. I don't know how urgent you are to rush back." Zeng Fei said.

Ling Chao smiled and said nothing, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuan, who was following him with his head down.His face is inherently cold when facing strangers.

Maybe because they heard their voices, other people waiting in the lobby of the hotel have also arrived at the door, waving to Ling Chao and the others.

Several boys had a good relationship with him before, and the two girls also had impressions and knew their names, but they didn't have much contact.

He and Zeng Fei were classmates in junior high school, and they had always had a good relationship. Later, they entered that high school together from a private school.The two also have contacts in business, and sometimes they can meet each other at banquets with their parents.

The rest are all his high school classmates.Two of them went to the liberal arts class after being divided into arts and sciences, but when they were at home, they always liked to get together to play on weekends, so the relationship has always been good.

Ling Chao walked over and hugged every boy, and nodded his head to the girls.Then he introduced Gu Yuan to them.

In fact, Ling Chao did not expect that there would be girls coming together, Zeng Fei seemed to see what he was thinking, he grabbed one of the long-haired girls and said to Ling Chao: "This is my girlfriend, and that is Zhang Zhigang's girlfriend. We said come and play, so we took them with us."

"Ah, you can, I don't even know." Ling Chao smiled and hugged Zeng Fei's shoulder.

"I haven't told you about what happened last month." Zeng Fei rubbed his neck in embarrassment: "Check in first, and we'll talk later. They're all blocking the way at this door."

A dozen or so people gathered together, and it looked really lively.

"Okay, then we will move in first as we discussed before, and we will go out for dinner after we tidy up." Ling Chao looked at everyone and said.

Because Gu Yuan made the reservation, he took everyone to the front desk, and after completing the registration, he distributed the room cards to them.After they put away their luggage, they went to the lobby to gather again.

"Where should we go for dinner?" Lu Jiantao asked.

Ling Chao didn't know either, he glanced at Gu Yuan.

"It's on the back street." Gu Yuan said.

"Do you want to call a car? Or just walk over?" Lu Jiantao asked again.

"It's not a few steps, just walk over." Gu Yuan replied.

"Let's go, then Gu Yuan, you lead the way. We can also take a look at the snow scene along the way." Lu Jiantao waved his hand, and a group of people followed Gu Yuan out.

Zeng Fei pulled Ling Chao, and the two walked in the back: "Your friend, is that your classmate? He looks younger than us." His voice was so soft that only Ling Chao could hear it.

"Well, he skipped a grade, two grades. And his grades are better than mine." When Ling Chao said it, he was a little proud.

"Damn! So awesome?" Zeng Fei growled in surprise.

Ling Chao smiled and looked at Gu Yuan who was walking in the front, Lu Jiantao was talking to him.Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan with light in his eyes.

That's right, such an awesome guy is still his boyfriend!

Looking at Ling Chao's appearance, Zeng Fei understood in his heart that he was the only one among all Ling Chao's classmates who knew his sexuality.When Ling Chao realized that he was different from others, Zeng Fei woke him up.

Zeng Fei's older brother is gay, and now he is married abroad with his lover, and the two are living happily, so Zeng Fei naturally knows more about this matter than others.

"You like him." Zeng Fei said with certainty.

Ling Chao smiled and nodded again: "Yes, I like it very much."

"Then does he know?" Zeng Fei asked.

"He." Ling Chao raised his head and looked at the front: "We are together."

"Really?" Zeng Fei didn't expect it.

In his eyes, Ling Chao has always been a very calm person, and he has long planned for his future.And if he likes someone, he will definitely believe in him for a lifetime.He never thought that Ling Chao would fall in love early. He knew that Ling Chao had come out to his family very early.But what about Gu Yuan?If he is not sure that he can continue, he will definitely not take this step.

"Then your family also knows?" Zeng Fei asked.

"Yeah." Ling Chao said.

"What about him?" Zeng Fei asked again.

"His sister knows, as for his mother... I believe him." Ling Chao actually didn't think about it.He likes Gu Yuan, not impulsively or jokingly, but seriously.And Gu Yuan likes him too.This is enough for him.Based on his understanding of Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan is not a weak person.He has the confidence to face the remaining problems with Gu Yuan.

"As long as you think it's worth it." Zeng Fei hugged Ling Chao. As a friend, all he can do is support his decision.

"Don't worry, I'm serious. No one can say what the future will look like. But I will try my best to make the future develop according to my wishes, no matter how difficult it is."

The restaurant Gu Yuan was looking for was just a few steps away from the hotel street. It was a Northeast restaurant with local characteristics.

Ten people sit around an earthen stove, and in the middle of a large pot, chicken and bullfrog of their choice are cooked, surrounded by cakes made of cornmeal.The firewood sizzled in the stove, and the whole box was filled with the aroma of food.

It was the first time for these students to see such a big stove, and they were excited and looking forward to it.When the waiter came over and lifted the lid of the pot, before the smoke cleared, several pairs of chopsticks scrambled into it.

"Wow, this chicken is really delicious." Zeng Fei's girlfriend exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, it looks quite ordinary, but it tastes different from what I have eaten before." Another girl echoed.

"As long as you like it." Ling Chao greeted everyone: "Eat more, there are still a lot of uncooked dishes here."

"Okay, okay, we people will not be polite." The big guy said, and laughed together again.

At the end of the meal, everyone was a little bit full.Gathering with friends who haven't seen each other for a long time is always a happy thing, plus the food is delicious, talking and laughing is very lively.Even Gu Yuan laughed along with everyone from time to time.

The itinerary after dinner is to go to the ice and snow world.

Most of this group of students have been living in the south and have never seen such heavy snow. They originally planned to take a car, but in the end they decided to walk.

In fact, it's not that far away, and it takes more than half an hour to walk there.Gu Yuan deliberately found a place close to him to stay.But even though it is sunny today, the outdoor temperature is only ten degrees below zero.

But everyone was very excited, and everyone wrapped up very tightly.They talked and laughed along the way, but they didn't feel too cold.

There are also ice and snow halls in some places in the south, but the feeling is completely different from here.

As soon as you enter the gate, the scene in front of you deeply attracts everyone's attention. Various buildings made of pure ice and decorations of different shapes look like another world on the open field.

There is an open space at the entrance, and then there is a castle inside, and there are two rows of ancient buildings on both sides. The road in the middle is full of tourists, making this ice and snow world extraordinarily lively.

They walked along the entrance, looking forward to asking for photos everywhere they went, and they even brought a micro-single.As the host, Gu Yuan is not someone who is easy to get along with, so he naturally took over the job of helping to take pictures.

Ling Chao didn't expect that Gu Yuan's photography skills are not bad, the angles he chooses every time are very good-looking, and everyone is very satisfied with every photo taken.

Just stop and go like this, unknowingly waited for them to finish shopping here and it was almost dinner time.

"Let's ask someone to help us take a group photo. Gu Yuan has been taking pictures all afternoon, but he didn't take one himself." Zeng Fei said.

"Okay, hey, I'm going to invite someone." His girlfriend ran forward to grab a young lady and whispered a few words, and brought her back with her after a while.

"This sister will help us take pictures. Come on, Gu Yuan, give her the camera, let's stand over there."

Gu Yuan seldom took pictures in the past few years. He was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Ling Chao's expectant look, he didn't say anything. He walked over and stood beside Ling Chao, and the others followed.

"Put your poses right, and I'll count one, two, three and take a picture." The young lady said.

Ten people lined up in two rows, and behind them was the front of the castle.Gu Yuan and Ling Chao stood at the far left of the second row, and when they were all standing up, they heard the young lady who helped take the picture start counting.

"one two three!"

As soon as the word "three" was uttered, Ling Chao put his hand on Gu Yuan's, and he turned his head slightly to look at Gu Yuan.Gu Yuan also turned around the moment he pinched it, and the two of them met their eyes.

"Yeah!" The others cheered!

The flash on the camera went on and off, and the moment was frozen forever.

Everyone had a look of joy on their faces.Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan with gentle eyes, and from the side, he could still see the upward curve of his mouth.On Gu Yuan's face, there was also a slight dimple.
