in love with that couple

Here, Liu Xiazhi set up a table of dishes by himself—supermarket convenience food, microwave heating is fine—fish-flavored shredded pork, braised chicken wings, grilled crucian carp with green onions, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage, plus ham bought from a deli, cold jellyfish and poached chicken.There are meat and vegetables, it is a luxury to eat alone.

I made a phone call with my elder brother to celebrate the New Year, and then I sent a red envelope in the classmate group with my mobile phone in my hand, and grabbed a few more. Under the background music of the TV Spring Festival Gala, I happily opened a bottle of wine, ready to enjoy it New Year's Eve dinner for one person.

In fact, in the past few years, Liu Xiaoman was not at home during the New Year, but at that time, Qi's enthusiastic mother would invite him to Qi's house for the New Year.Liu Xiazhi will consciously bring a change of clothes, live from the 31st to the second day of the new year, and wait until Liu Xiaoman arrives home on the third day of the new year before going back.

But this year, the Qi family just had grandma's funeral, and Qi Xiangtian just joined the army and spent the New Year in the army.Although Ms. Li Meijia still sent an invitation to Liu Xiazhi to celebrate the New Year together, but Liu Xiazhi thought it over and declined.

In the past, he lived in Qi's house, sleeping in the same bed with Qi Xiangtian, shooting cannons and playing games together, it was so much fun.This year I went alone and Qi Xiangtian was gone, so I couldn't help but feel a lot of awkwardness. The key is that Qi's father and Qi's mother did not have their sons to accompany them during the New Year.So I went to Qi's house early in the 31st year to pay homage to the early years, and then went home in the afternoon, and started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for myself.

On his side, he was holding a decanter and started to sober up, when he heard the doorbell ringing like a reminder.

"Is there still a delivery today?"

Liu Xiazhi really couldn't think of who would come to their house at this point, and opened the door full of doubts.

"Suprise!"

After opening the door, I saw a huge plastic bag stuffed in, and then I saw Chi Xin standing outside with a smile on his face.

"Happy or not, accident or not?"

Chi Xin raised the fireworks in the other hand and said with a smile.

"How did you come?"

Liu Xiazhi opened the door with a look of surprise.

"I'll send you dumplings, I made them myself."

Chi Xin walked in and handed the dumplings to Liu Xiazhi.

"We southerners don't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year."

Although full of emotion, Liu Xiazhi still said against his will, "You've lived in S city for so long, don't you know?"

"I know, so I went to the supermarket to buy glutinous rice balls."

Chi Xin walked to the open kitchen and took out the dumplings and a pack of frozen glutinous rice balls from the plastic bag.

"I bought this when I passed by the supermarket just now. I went early, and the supermarket would be closed if I was a little later."

"Yo, I have a refrigerator for this thing!"

Liu Xiazhi opened the quick-freezing compartment of the refrigerator and pointed to it, "Peanut, sesame, purple taro, black sand, and fruit flavors. Which one do you want?"

"I'm different."

Chi Xin said while turning on the fire and boiling water, "This represents my heart—hey, don't argue with me when you're older than the Chinese New Year."

"I'm very moved if I don't talk about it, I don't talk about it. Comparing my heart!"

Liu Xiazhi raised his hands, put them together above his head, and made a gesture of love.

Chi Xin ordered a large bowl of dumplings, and another large bowl of glutinous rice balls, carrying them with both hands into the living room, and placed them on the table.

"You eat pretty well alone."

He looked at the dishes on the table and smiled.

Having said that, I can't help but feel a little distressed in my heart. During the Chinese New Year, a senior high school student can only eat these things.No matter how good the taste is, it lacks the warmth of family after all.

If possible... He really wants to cook a whole table of New Year's dishes for him.

Suppressing the thousands of thoughts surging in his heart, Chi Xin sat down, watched Liu Xiazhi take out another wine glass from the cabinet, poured two glasses of wine and placed them in front of him and himself.

"Chi Xin, I didn't expect you to come back to celebrate the New Year with me today...I'm so happy."

Liu Xiazhi said sincerely.

During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, and the more festive the time, the loneliness and weakness lurking in the usual time will quietly spread to the most vulnerable place in my heart at this moment.As strong and independent as he is, even in his thirties, he can't help but feel alone.

Looking at all the shops and vendors on the street, no matter how busy they are on weekdays, at this time it is always a time for family reunion and sharing family relationships.In contrast, although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I can only hang around each other.

Chi Xin's sudden intrusion, speaking in a more suave, more vulgar way, seemed to be a ray of spring breeze blowing into the cold winter, making him feel warm and harmonious.

"Happy New Year!"

Chi Xin raised his glass.

"Happy New Year!"

Liu Xiazhi raised his wine glass.

With a sound of "ding", the wine glasses collided, and the two looked at each other across the table with smiles all over their eyes.

"Let me try the dumplings you made. Let me tell you, I have never eaten dumplings on New Year's Eve. I usually eat quick-frozen dumplings."

Liu Xiazhi lowered his head and quickly wiped away the involuntary tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"Okay, I will also eat this glutinous rice ball. I have never eaten glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve."

Chi Xin pretended not to see him wiping his tears, so he scooped up a glutinous rice ball to cover up his pity.

"Ah! I believe that there are hidden weapons in your dumplings!"

Liu Xiazhi covered his teeth, and spat out something from his mouth onto the table.

It turned out to be a five-pointed steel coin.

"Chi Xin, your family is too rich, stuffing money into dumplings. Almost broke my teeth!"

Liu Xiazhi complained.

"Hey, congratulations, you've won the lottery!"

Chi Xin smiled and patted him on the head.

"It's going to be big next year."

Seeing Liu Xiazhi's bewildered expression, Chi Xin explained with a smile, "Our custom is to put a coin in a dumpling when making dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Let's see who eats this coin-wrapped dumpling." Dumplings, next year will bring good luck for a year. You see, this is the first time you eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and the first dumpling you ate was late for coins—do you think you will distribute it next year?"

"Send, send!"

Liu Xiazhi covered his mouth and nodded vigorously, "With your good words, I hope that next year all of us can pass the college entrance examination smoothly and have a bright future."

"Liu Xiazhi, let's set off the fireworks."

Chi Xin put down the spoon and pointed to the balcony, "You can't set off cannons upstairs. I bought small cold fireworks specially. Shall we play on the balcony for a while?"

"Okay! Just play this!"

In previous years, Liu Xiazhi liked to set off fireworks and firecrackers with Qi Xiangtian on the open space of the community. The two of them could go from the 31st to the [-]th day of the first lunar month.In Liu Xiaoman's words, one arsenal can be released a year.

Now that Qi Xiangtian is not here, it is really boring for him to set off firecrackers by himself, so this year the family didn't buy a single firecracker, but Qi Xiangtian brought them.

Although there is still some time before zero o'clock, the crackling of firecrackers has been heard in the community one after another.

Chi Xin ignited the cold smoke flowers in his hand, as if he was holding golden chrysanthemums in full bloom.

Liu Xiazhi took two of them carefully, holding them one on the left and the other on the right. He waved his arms a little, and saw two golden circles drawn in his hands, reflecting the happy smiling faces of the two.

"Thank you, Chi Xin! Thank you for coming to celebrate the New Year with me!"

Although these two small fireworks are completely incomparable to the "arsenal" released by Liu Xiazhi in previous years, the touch Liu Xiazhi received was unprecedented.

Chi Xin held the fireworks in one hand, looked at Liu Xiazhi's innocent smiling face under the flickering night, and felt an irresistible impulse in his heart.

He wanted to tell him, Liu Xiazhi, I like you!

Liu Xiazhi, I want to spend every festival with you in the future!

"I……"

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Xiazhi combined the two fireworks in his left hand, and then took out the phone from his pocket with his right hand with a happy face.

"Daqi! It's Daqi's WeChat! Oh my god, can they send WeChat in the army today?"

Qi Xiangtian sent a video request, and Liu Xiazhi responded in a hurry.

"Can you hear me? Summer Solstice?"

On the other end of the phone screen, a familiar figure appeared and waved towards Liu Xiazhi.

Chi Xin abruptly held back what he wanted to say.

"You can see it, you can hear it!"

Liu Xiazhi nodded persistently, "Oh my god, Daqi, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year, you see you've lost weight again."

On the other side of the screen was Qi Xiangtian, who was propped up against a head, which was obviously darkened and much stronger, "I just talked to my parents, why didn't you come to my house for the New Year this year? It's so lonely to celebrate the New Year alone .”

"Not lonely, Chi Xin is with me! Chi Xin, say hello?"

Liu Xiazhi walked up to Chi Xin, raised his mobile phone, and framed the two of them together, "We're shooting cannons on the balcony, did you see that?"

As he spoke, he waved the small firework in his hand.

"Are you shooting cannons? When you have a chance to come to the army, let me show you what real 'cannon shooting' is."

Qi Xiangtian laughed.

"Chi Xin, long time no see, thank you for taking care of my little scholar!"

Qi Xiangtian waved to them with a smile on his face.

Chi Xin compared V to him, then grabbed Liu Xiazhi's shoulder, "That must be done, is this my wife!"

"Get out! That's my little daughter-in-law."

Qi Xiangtian scolded with a smile.

What he said was natural, but Chi Xin still didn't like it when he heard it, and his smile was unavoidably forced.

"Xia Zhi, work hard in the college entrance examination. I'm an out-and-out 'deserter' in my studies. You must work hard with my share."

On the other side of the camera, Qi Xiangtian's eyes dimmed significantly, "When the two years are over, if I get transferred to a non-commissioned officer, I can ask for leave and come back to see you. You must wait for me in City B."

"Don't worry, the two of us are waiting for you in City B!"

Chi Xin put the extinguished fireworks pole on the railing of the balcony, and said to the camera, "I haven't told you yet. I decided to go to the university in city B too."

Qi Xiangtian was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled so much that he showed his white teeth, "Then I'll be here to wish you both success in the college entrance examination! Also help me show Wenrui and the others a treat. I have limited call time, so just I can’t call them anymore, so you can do it for me.”

"Believe me, you can see that this team is really a place where people are 'reborn'. The former 'little bully' has been forcibly transformed into a sensible and polite one now. Now I really think that kid Lu Yutian should also throw away Go in and exercise for a few months."

Liu Xiazhi pointed at Qi Xiangtian and smiled, who pretended to shake his fist at him.

After hanging up the video, Chi Xin was in no mood to confess again.

Qi Xiangtian's feelings for Liu Xiazhi are really sincere, otherwise, during such precious phone time, apart from talking to his parents, the second thing he would think of would be Liu Xiazhi.

If I wasn't here today, the two of them would probably kiss~ and talk affectionately for a while.

However, after these months of training, Qi Xiangtian is obviously more handsome, full of man's toughness and masculinity, needless to say, his figure is getting stronger and stronger.You can feel the undisguised charm through the screen.

Thinking of this, Chi Xin wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

He liked Liu Xiazhi in his heart, but his body was irresistibly attracted to Qi Xiangtian.

Obviously knowing that the two of them have a deep relationship, but still can't help but fall in love with both of them at the same time.

But when I see a beautiful and mature sister on the street, I will inevitably take a second look.

Chi Xin felt that he was really scum, cheap, and extremely contradictory.

If I really have any New Year's resolutions, probably one is to understand my sexual orientation, and the other is to sort out my entangled feelings.

"Late letter, look!"

Here Chi Xin was struggling, Liu Xiazhi excitedly grabbed his arm, and stretched out his fingers not far away.

Chi Xin looked up, only to see a huge firework blooming in the night sky, countless gold, gold, and red intertwined stars exploded in the air, illuminating the night sky above his head extremely gorgeously.

"beautiful!"

Liu Xiazhi's eyes widened, he was too happy to be himself.

Chi Xin looked at his profile, and then at the fireworks blooming continuously in the air like the fallen flower baskets of a goddess, and felt that his heart was also like the lit night sky, joyful and moved.

Meet you,

met you,

that's nice!
