pointing to the stars

The next day, early in the morning.

I slowly opened my eyes and woke up. At this time, Ling Qiu was still awake. I sat up and stretched. The cold air invaded my body, and I was so cold that I retracted into the bed again.

"Morning, Tiansen." Ling Qiu opened his eyes a little, glanced at me and then closed them again.

"Morning." I turned sideways and looked at his profile.With a straight nose, heroic eyebrows, and thin lips, no matter how you look at it, you feel very handsome.

Perhaps because of my fiery gaze, Ling Qiu frowned slightly, opened his eyes to look at me, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything strange on my face?"

"It's nothing." I smiled, "I just think you're handsome."

Just then, there was a knock on the door from grandma.

"We're up." Ling Qiu shouted towards the door, then got off the bed and put on clothes and pants.Ling Qiu got dressed and was about to go downstairs, but I stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Ling Qiu looked at me and asked.

"Here, this is for you." I handed the gray-white scarf in front of him, and looked aside.

"Isn't this Tiansen's?" Ling Qiu didn't answer, but asked.

"Anyway, it's for you." I tightened my hand holding the scarf, "If you don't want it, just..."

"Yes." Ling Qiu took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck, "It's very warm, thank you Tiansen."

"No, it's nothing..." I withdrew my hands behind my back, "Go, let's go eat."

"Ah."

The homework during the winter vacation caused irreparable consequences due to my temporary anger.Because the grades are at the end, there is also a backlog of homework for the winter vacation.Although the questions are not difficult, but the amount is too much, I spent the whole afternoon, and my hands were sore and I didn't see fewer papers.

Ling Qiu watched me do my homework seriously and didn't bother me.Just bored walking in the yard, or teasing the dog, playing with snowballs.

"Tiansen, why don't I go back first?" Ling Qiu lingered in my line of sight for a while, then walked up to me and said.

The pen I was marking the paper paused for a moment, and my fingers squeezed the pen tightly.I have never hated the mountain of homework so much, because only when I am immersed in the sea of ​​questions can I not feel lonely.

But the damn homework in front of me made me feel so lonely to death.

"Let's go play." I closed the pen cap, got up and looked at him.

"But your homework..."

"It's okay." I looked up at him and said with a smile: "I know all these questions, it won't take much time." I don't want to miss any chance to be with Ling Qiu.

This kind of thinking, I don't know when it was deeply rooted in my heart, making me unable to bear that he would leave my side.Maybe it's because I'm nostalgic for the tenderness Ling Qiu gave, that's why I want to get close to him and be with him regardless of my own life.

"Alright then." Ling Qiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at me: "Let's play games."

"Game?" I asked.

"Well, it's the one with a plug-in card." Ling Qiu explained: "I bought one with money from part-time jobs, but no one plays with me."

"Then let's go." I took his hand, feeling the coolness of his fingers, and couldn't help but clenched slightly.

Ling Qiu greeted grandma and took me to the small bungalow.He installed the game console on the small black and white TV, and soon a game interface appeared, which was Tank Wars.He chose the two-person mode, handed me a handle, and taught me how to operate it.

Although it is a game that has been eliminated a long time ago, it still feels very novel to me.It's nothing more than because of being with Ling Qiu.

I played with Ling Qiu for a few more days, and before I knew it, there were not many days left before the start of winter vacation.The mountain of homework has not been finished, which makes me a little headache.Although Ling Qiu came every day, most of the time he was there to help grandma, and then urged me to finish my homework.

Although the place to do homework was moved from the small wooden table outside the thatched cottage to the room on the first floor of the bungalow.But the light in the house was very dark and the wattage of the lighting was low, so I had to do my homework under the eaves.

The cold wind blowing made my fingers stiff and I couldn't even hold a pen.Ling Qiu came out of the kitchen, looked at me, hurriedly walked up to me, and packed up the things on the table: "Why are you doing your homework here? The lighting in the room on the first floor is really bad, it will be better if you go to the second floor." point."

"Ah."

"Wait, I'll burn an electric hot water bottle for you to carry." Ling Qiu packed up the papers on the table and put them under his arm, while I held the ink bottle and pen.

"Yeah." For some reason, the weather is considered cold, but I feel very warm.

He took my hand, turned his head to look at me, and frowned; "Why is it so cold?"

"No... nothing."

"gone."

He took me up to the second floor and handed the heated electric hot water bottle to me. The warmth from the hot water bag permeated my fingers and flowed into my body.I can clearly feel the cool blood flowing quietly through my whole body.

I haven't recovered yet, with a warm blanket draped over my shoulders.Ling Qiu lowered his eyes slightly, straightened his waist, looked at me with a smile and said, "Tiansen is thin, so he should wear thicker clothes."

"Thank you." I looked up at him, smiling.

"Tiansen, drink some hot water." Ling Qiu turned around and poured me a glass of water, and put it on the coffee table in front of me.

"Aren't you cold?" Sitting side by side with Ling Qiu, I could vaguely feel the chill on his body.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Ling Qiu smiled.

Are you used to...?For some reason, when I heard this, I felt a little pain in my heart.

"Do you want to warm your hands?" I handed him the hot water bottle.

He shook his head and replied, "Actually, I'm not too cold." As he spoke, he put his hands on the back of my hand, and the warmth soaked into the back of my hand, which made me feel a little overwhelmed.

"It's just that I'm a little cold." Ling Qiu withdrew her hand, looked at me and smiled.

"Then you cover it." I put the hot water bottle beside me, took off the blanket on my shoulders and put it on Ling Qiu's body, probably because I was face to face, I could clearly feel the temperature emanating from his body.

"Still cold?" I asked.

"Hmm...it's getting warmer." Ling Qiu replied.

"Would it be warmer this way?" I stretched out my hands and hugged him in my arms, and I seemed to feel his beating heartbeat through the fabric on my body.I don't know why I made such a move, maybe it's because Ling Qiu is very important to me.

Maybe it was because I was too tired from doing the questions, or maybe I was nostalgic for this tenderness, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, and I gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was lying on the bed, probably Ling Qiu carried me to the bed, right?I was about to get up, but I found Ling Qiu was lying beside me, he was still shirtless, his slightly parted mouth was drooling.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but put my fist on my lips and smiled softly.The quilt covered him, exposing most of his chest, and his left arm was draped over the quilt.I stuffed his arms into the quilt and tried to cover his neck with the quilt as much as possible.

But I didn't expect him to turn over at this time, his right hand hugged my waist, and I pressed against his chest.The warm breath came from him, and I could only hear the beating sound of my heart clearly.

In the end, I didn't push him away, and fell asleep in his arms again.

"Tiansen, are you awake?" When I opened my eyes, Ling Qiu's voice came from above my head.

"Yeah." I answered vaguely, as if I forgot that I was still lying on Ling Qiu's chest.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to go down for dinner." Ling Qiu propped up the bed with his right hand, and sat up slowly, and my eyes gradually moved up.Only then did I realize that I was farther away from Ling Qiu.

"Okay, it's time to get up." Ling Qiu moved his arms and smiled at me.

"Yeah." I sneaked a glance at him, and saw that there was still a red mark on his chest, and I always felt a little embarrassed in my heart.He put on his clothes and stood at the door of the room waiting for me. After I got dressed, he took my hand and went downstairs together.

Grandma had just finished cooking, and when she watched us go downstairs, she asked us to wash our hands.After dinner, Ling Qiu saw that it was still early and prepared to go home.Maybe it was my willfulness that made him stay again.

Ling Qiu didn't say anything, but patted the back of his head in embarrassment.

The time to leave school is getting closer and closer, and the time spent with Ling Qiu is getting less and less.Once I think of these things, my heart is always restless.Although it is not that we will never see him again, it is inevitable that we don't want to be separated from him.

That kind of feeling is not like the liking between lovers, but the purer liking between brothers and friends.But time is always ruthless, it will not stop for anyone, but I always hope that it can stop for myself once.

On the day I left, Ling Qiu accompanied me to the station.

"Tiansen, let's see you in summer vacation." Ling Qiu smiled at me wearing the khaki coat I gave him and wrapping around the scarf I gave him.

I slightly lowered the scarf around my neck, and smiled at him: "Yeah." Maybe, that's not what I want to say, I want to tell him that I will write to him.

But the weather is so cold, and I have to go to the market post office to deliver the letter, and it takes an hour to go back and forth. If I knew Ling Qiu was so troublesome to deliver the letter, maybe I wouldn't let him write to me.

"I will write to you." Ling Qiu looked at me and said.

"...Well." Although I wanted to reject Ling Qiu's nodding proposal, but the true thoughts in my heart made it impossible for me to refuse him.

When I got on the train and saw him waving to me and saying goodbye loudly, I still felt a little stuffy in my heart.I didn't cry this time, maybe it's because the thought of meeting him next time is causing trouble?

School will start soon.

The weather in spring is still a bit cooler, I was walking on the pedestrian street with my schoolbag on my back, and I ran into Li Yang and his girlfriend.Li Yang's girlfriend is quite cute, and standing with Li Yang is a perfect match.

"Good morning, Li Yang." I greeted Li Yang.

"Morning Tiansen, how are you doing during your winter vacation?" Li Yang took his girlfriend's hand and walked to my side.

"Well, I lived at my grandma's house." I pulled up some scarves and said.

"Well, I live at home, and I brought my girlfriend home to show to my father, he is very happy." Li Yang grinned at me.

"Yeah." I don't care about that, maybe I'm not suitable for getting in touch with girls, especially after meeting Su Mu, I feel a little disgusted with girls.

Of course, I don't hate girls who occasionally come to ask questions during class.
