mountain sleep

Yao Ge and Xu Zihang were sitting in a very popular braised pork restaurant, and Xu Zihang only nodded in agreement to come over after Xu Zihang insisted on it. After all, it took nearly an hour to take the subway, and he had to come here in advance to reserve a seat.

Xu Zihang looked at the people queuing up at the door to get a number, and praised his foresight in his heart: "Look at how many people are waiting behind us, not to mention that today is Christmas Eve, there must be more people."

Although he didn't understand why so many people chose to eat at such a dilapidated and crowded braised meat restaurant on Christmas Eve, Yao Ge still praised him: "You are the smartest."

Regardless of the crowds, there is actually quite a lot of mobility. This restaurant only serves stewed pork rice, and it doesn’t take much time to leave when you’re full. It’s all about tasting instead of sitting and chatting.

Yao Ge turned the bowl with a trumpet-shaped opening, but he didn't expect this bowl to be quite retro, like it was made of broken tiles: "Is there anything delicious here? Isn't it just pork belly with a marinated egg and a little green vegetables. "

"You'll know if you taste it." Xu Zihang came here with his classmates from the basketball team before, and he couldn't forget it after eating, "Look at this diced meat, it tastes soft and not greasy, it's crystal clear, it melts in your mouth, take a bite Do you understand the feeling of sublimation of the soul?" Xu Zihang contributed his only vocabulary, just like a shopping guide for braised pork rice, he stirred the sauce while talking, and the rich aroma wafted out.

The prosperity of this small shop naturally has its advantages, such as their rice.In order to save money, most merchants cook rice in wooden barrels, and the rice grains are dry and difficult to swallow.And the rice in this restaurant is made of high-quality rice, the grains are round and plump, not too much water, not too much, not too little, elastic and glutinous.The second special point is the sauce. The sauce made by simmering on a low fire is different from the feeling of impatiently cooking on a high fire. I am willing to spend time slowly simmering the diced meat until it is naturally colored. until the fragrance overflows.

Yao Ge stirred the rice, put a spoonful of it into his mouth, the thick sauce melted in his mouth, it was indeed different from ordinary braised pork belly.Xu Zihang picked up a chopstick of pickled radish and gave it to him: "Eat it together, not greasy."

When I was a teenager, being able to sit face to face with the person I liked and eat a bowl of steaming braised pork rice in the cold winter is something that I will feel happy in the future.

After the meal, the two of them walked down the lively street, surrounded by Christmas lights.Xu Zihang took out an apple from his bag and handed it to Yao Ge: "Here you are."

Yao Ge reached out to take it. The exquisitely packaged apples were also sold at the gate of their school. They cost ten yuan each. Even though they knew it was a trick of the merchants, many couples still bought them.Unexpectedly, one day he would receive it, he turned to look at Xu Zihang who was playing cool with his hands in his trouser pockets, and said, "Should I eat it?"

"This may not taste good." Xu Zihang rubbed his nose. He had laughed at this kind of behavior before. Christmas is not even Chinese. How could Christmas Eve become a gift of apples? I didn't expect it. Anyone who is stupid knows.

"I'll finish eating." Yao Ge put the apples into the bag, then stuffed his empty hands into Xu Zihang's pockets, interlocking his fingers, "How come your hands are like a heater."

"My enthusiasm, ou~ is like a fire!"

Yao Ge stared at him without saying a word, Xu Zihang's ears turned red, and he muttered, "Why don't you cheer me on?"

Yao Ge lowered his eyebrows and smiled, turned his head and kissed Xu Zihang's face quickly.Xu Zihang glanced at him in surprise, this is usually something he would do on his own: "Why did you kiss me all of a sudden." There were people coming and going, and he teased Yao Ge with a smile, "You are so brave. "

"If you want to kiss, kiss, why are there so many?" In fact, Yao Ge often has the feeling of wanting to kiss Xu Zihang. He wants to kiss him when he is sleeping next to him, wants to kiss him when he is stupid, and wants to kiss him when he is serious about studying. relative.

At that time, he didn't know the word "filter", he only knew how cute Xu Zihang looked in his eyes, it was cute, it was cute, it was Adorable, it was the cuteness in all languages.

"How's your song going?"

Xu Zihang signed up to participate in the campus singer contest before New Year's Day. When he took the flyer and told Yao Ge that he was going to participate, Yao Ge thought he had misheard and asked him instead, "Are you going to watch or participate?"

"Of course I'm participating." Seeing Yao Ge's disbelief, Xu Zihang pretended to be ashamed, "You look down on me."

"That's not true." Yao Ge immediately gave encouragement, "You are very brave, anyway, the most important thing is to participate."

"If I can get No.1..." Xu Zihang thought for a while and felt that this goal was unrealistic, and then changed his words, "If I can get the top ten, you have to apologize to me!"

Yao Ge laughed out loud. There are at most [-] people participating in this kind of singer competition. He patted Xu Zihang's face and said, "Baby, you have a little confidence. It's not that bad. You can make it to the top five." Those who are poor go up to make up the numbers, Xu Zihang rarely gets out of tune when he sings the songs he is familiar with, and his voice is nice, which can add points.

Xu Zihang was very good at showing off, he refused to tell Yao Ge what he was going to sing, and secretly prepared it by himself.But Yao Ge can guess it with his toes, and there is no one else but Jay Chou.

"I'm ready to meet the screams." Xu Zihang wasn't shy at all when he spoke big words, and after saying this, he added a sentence consciously, "I mean only welcome your screams."

"Haha, you are so beautiful."

Christmas activities are held in the center of the open-air square. There is a 40-meter-high white snowflake Christmas tree. If couples stand in the middle and kiss, they can light up the Christmas tree, and someone in the distance will zoom in to capture this scene.In fact, it doesn't look as romantic as in the movie. Most ordinary people don't feel beautiful when they hug and kiss together, but Xu Zihang looks at it from below, a little envious.

"I also want to kiss you under the Christmas tree." Xu Zihang sighed, "There are still people taking pictures."

Hearing this, Yao Ge kicked his shoes: "Don't even think about it." Too stupid, he would not accompany Xu Zihang to do such a rustic thing in public.

"I think of one." Xu Zihang may have 100 things couples must do in his head, he is always eager to do this and that, and at this moment he suddenly remembered something they hadn't done, "Let's go Take photo stickers!"

"what?"

Before he could refuse, Yao Ge was defeated by Xu's shamelessness. Xu Zihang didn't need to say much, as long as he looked at Yao Ge with pitiful eyes, he couldn't say no, so Yao Ge had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Just take a picture." Group."

This year’s photoshoots are not as popular as in previous years, especially since many students in the class have mobile phones or Mp4s that can take pictures. Most of the photos in Qzone are selfies with mobile phones raised high.Xu Zihang would occasionally take a few smug selfies, deliberately put on a melancholy look, appreciate himself a few times after taking pictures, and send the best ones to Yao Ge for him to save.When I was in junior high school, there were photo stickers at the school gate, but it was the first time for Xu Zihang and Yao Ge to take pictures.

Probably because it was Christmas, there were quite a few people in the small shop waiting for photoshoots, and several machines were full.Xu Zihang and Yao Ge sat next to a few girls and picked out the patterns on the brochure together. Yao Ge flipped through them, and found either non-mainstream black skulls full of Martian text on the screen, or old-fashioned landscape pictures.The booklet has been turned over by countless people, and the corners are all torn. Yao Ge couldn't pick any one out. Xu Zihang leaned over to read the book, "Why did you pick it so fast?"

Xu Zihang pushed the book in front of him: "This one is okay, this cartoon one, look, this panda is cute, right? This cat is also good, and this rogue rabbit..."

Yao Ge threw away his pen and paper, and gave up with a face: "You can choose, I can do it." He added, "Nine are not negotiable, don't choose more."

When he stood in front of the machine, there was only the two of them behind the curtain, Yao Ge's entire face was stiff, and he didn't know what posture to pose at all.Xu Zihang grabbed the camera switch and pulled Yao Ge forward: "Come closer, remember to look at the camera and not the screen." Yao Ge was surrounded by Xu Zihang in his arms. There was a Snoopy, and Xu Zihang on the screen showed his teeth with a smile. Yao Ge couldn't help curling his mouth when he saw it.

"You looked at the screen! You have to look at the camera!" Xu Zihang took a closer look, and was about to press cancel, but was stopped by Yao Ge.

"I think it's pretty good, that's it, next one."

"Okay." Xu Zihang scratched his head and let him go.

The next picture is Pai Daxing and SpongeBob SquarePants. Xu Zihang thought it was fun, pulled Yao Ge, and supported his face to align with the frame: "You just don't move, we each have a head, hehe."

Yao Ge just let Xu Zihang arrange how to pose for the photo shoot, and Xu Zihang cooperated with good temper when he said that he would retake the shot. After taking nine photos, he broke out in sweat and silently swore in his heart that this was definitely the last time.

When he came out of the store after taking the photo, all the photo stickers were cut into individual sheets. Xu Zihang happily looked at each photo one by one, and asked Yao Ge which one he liked.Yao Ge reached out and took the first one, leaving the rest to Xu Zihang.

"Is it really okay for you to go back so late?" They have to make up a day of class this Sunday, so they can still leave for three days on New Year's Day, and Xu Zihang has to go back to the dormitory.

"Today's Christmas, the teachers are going to celebrate the holiday, so they must turn a blind eye. Don't worry."

"Well, remember to put the photos away." Yao Ge is usually very careful, all the cabinets are locked, and the computer files are also encrypted.Although their photo stickers are nothing special, the boy Tian Fei violated before was discovered by his mother through the photo stickers, so Yao Ge was reminded of this in advance.

"Don't worry! You won't be able to see it at all." The photos in Xu Zihang's hands are all silly, either two people are covered in cartoon big heads, or they are wearing sunglasses on their faces to play cool, even if they are seen by others, they will not go too far Couples go up and think.

When they walked to the subway station, they were about to say goodbye. The two of them took different lines to go home. They both got used to saying goodbye, because they knew that they would see each other in a short time.

"I'm leaving."

"Wait." Xu Zihang called to Yao Ge who was about to go in, looked around, there were people on the road all around, he leaned forward, and quickly kissed Yao Ge on the lips.

People passing by them looked back, not sure if they were dazzled just now.Xu Zihang licked his lips and said, "Merry Christmas."

Yao Ge smiled, and kicked his shoes habitually: "You are not timid."

"Let's go." Xu Zihang raised his eyebrows, took a few steps back, as if he had stolen a jar of honey, pouted and blew a few more kisses to Yao Ge, then turned and ran away happily.

Yao Ge's dimples floated shallowly on his face, he turned around and walked in his direction, putting his hands in his pockets, as if he could still feel Xu Zihang's warmth in his palms.
