Fork in the road

This recording lasted until noon, Bai Xiaoyuan was nothing to sit on the sidelines watching, Lu Shaoguang and Xie Zichen were both exhausted.

Lu Yanwu said that he would reward a few high school students who were tired all morning. Bai Xiaoyuan and Yu Xian had made an appointment to have dinner together before. After telling Lu Yanwu, the other party said that it would be okay to bring one more person, but Bai Xiaoyuan felt that Yu Xian Xian probably didn't really want to eat with people who were half-cooked, so he refused.

It was almost the appointed time, and Bai Xiaoyuan and the others were preparing to go downstairs.As soon as Bai Xiaoyuan arrived on the first floor, he saw Yu Xian who was wearing earphones with his hands in his pockets and his face was a little cold.Seeing his expression, ordinary people might think that this person is in a bad mood, but Bai Xiaoyuan could tell that Yu Xian must have heard a soft song, otherwise he wouldn't have frowned and looked impatient.

Seeing Bai Xiaoyuan, Yu Xian smiled briefly, then straightened up, and greeted the people behind Bai Xiaoyuan.He is fairly familiar with Lu Shaoguang and Xie Zichen, and Lu Yanwu really only met once, so there is really nothing to say except that he called "Brother Lu".

Lu Shaoguang also greeted Yu Xian without any abnormalities, Xie Zichen was a little surprised, as if he didn't react when he greeted, he felt a little flattered.

Lu Yanwu said to Bai Xiaoyuan: "It's so cold, tell your friend to wait up there in the future."

Bai Xiaoyuan thought to himself that I also want him to wait up there, but Yu Xian himself doesn't want to.To Yu Xian, a classroom full of strangers was like a show for embarrassing patients.

Bai Xiaoyuan walked quickly to Yu Xian's side, turned around and waved his hands with a smile, and went to look for food with Yu Xian.

Xie Zichen looked at the backs of those two people, thought for a moment and said, "That's right, you and Yu Xian are in the same class."

"Well, isn't he also your junior high school classmate?"

"That's right...I really didn't expect that he and Xiaobai were friends and had such a good relationship..." Xie Zichen was a little puzzled.

"Faxiao'er, it's normal to have a good relationship, and I think the two of them get along pretty well, so there shouldn't be any conflicts."

Xie Zichen looked shocked: "'Everyone' is easy to get along with?! Has Yu Xian, who sat at the same table as me in junior high school, changed his soul?"

Lu Yanwu put his hands on the heads of the two people, "Let's go, let's chat at the eating place."

Lu Shaoguang pulled Lu Yanwu's hand and stuffed it into his pocket, "Brother, your hands are very cold. You can take out the gloves I gave you for your birthday last year."

Lu Yanwu put one hand in his pocket and rubbed the head of Xie Zichen who was not ashamed to resist, looked at the backs of Bai Xiaoyuan and Yu Xian who were walking away, and felt in his heart that the friendship between straight men is sometimes strong.

There are a lot of places to eat in this area, and Bai Xiaoyuan will settle his lunch here at noon when he comes to class.He is also not too troublesome, and almost never eats the same food every time, so after a semester, he has a good understanding of several restaurants.

This winter vacation, Yu Xian has been hunting around with Bai Xiaoyuan for food, and he has roughly understood Bai Xiaoyuan's tastes and preferences. What he is still curious about is how Bai Xiaoyuan's own craftsmanship is.

The two found a small shop and each ate a bowl of rice noodles. Bai Xiaoyuan ordered tomato balls, and chicken with mushrooms in advance. After eating, they were satisfied and warm. The two returned home - Yu Xian's house warmly.

They were greeted with indifferent winter homework.

In fact, homework wouldn't take them a whole vacation, but Bai Xiaoyuan had already deposited several sets of papers he had bought at Yu Xian's house.That way they won't be idle after homework is done, which is great.

Although Yu Xian welcomes Bai Xiaoyuan very much, as soon as he thinks that Bai Xiaoyuan is closely connected with his study and life, Yu Xian can hardly control his headache.

... Yu Xian was really curious about what brand of chicken blood Bai Xiaoyuan played in the third year of junior high school.

Bai Xiaoyuan spent years at Yu Xian's house until years ago. Apart from going to relatives and friends with Yuan Min to pay New Year's greetings for a few days, he spent the rest of his time "studying academically" with Yu Xian—of course, there was also time for sneaking around to fish. .

The process of Bai Xiaoyuan's Chinese New Year is actually very simple. The relationship between grandparents and his mother seems to be a bit stiff, although it has little influence on Bai Xiaoyuan-Bai Xiaoyuan still remembers the kind attitude of the two old people-but Bai Xiaoyuan Xiao Yuan did not have much contact with that side.Moreover, the Bai family is in other provinces, and they don't want Bai Xiaoyuan to toss back and forth by himself just to have a meal in the New Year.

So Bai Xiaoyuan only needs to go to Yuan's house for a New Year's Eve dinner with his father on New Year's Eve.That New Year's Eve dinner was literally a New Year's Eve dinner. After having dinner at Bai Xiaoyuan's grandparents' house, the juniors would go home separately, even the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala would not be missed.As long as Bai Xiaoyuan ate a meal in silence at the dinner table and received the lucky money, he could go home.He rarely gets any attention on this kind of occasion, after all, his father's surname is Yuan, and his surname is Bai.

Bai Xiaoyuan felt that he appeared at this table out of courtesy, but even if he didn't come, he probably wouldn't get a few questions.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Bai Xiaoyuan wiped his wet hair after taking a shower, and while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, he nonchalantly speculated about what his grandparents thought of him.

The old man seems to be a bit patriarchal, but even if he is not the only boy among his grandchildren, he is not treated as well as girls of the same generation.So maybe the surname is really important, especially when he could have, or should have been named Yuan, but instead took the surname Bai.

In his more than ten years of life, Bai Xiaoyuan has thought over and over again the very limited family relationship between his parents that he knows many times.Because he himself is not very old, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the analysis, so every time he takes it out and thinks about it, he may gain something new.

For example, whether one's grandparents like one's father or not, or whether one's grandparents think that one's mother is worthless or hates iron.Thinking about it is a trivial matter that has nothing to do with him, but Bai Xiaoyuan still likes to study the relationship between people. He thinks that if he studies these things thoroughly, he will no longer have to worry about problems in interpersonal relationships. - At least now he rarely has conflicts with his parents, which has a lot to do with his love of thinking.

As for communicating with peers, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't have to worry much.Compared with the adults who struggled in the society, in Bai Xiaoyuan's school, how many thoughts could these teenagers have that they couldn't hide?Academic performance and teacher's love, although this undercurrent of small thoughts is sometimes annoying, but for Bai Xiaoyuan, it is not too difficult to see through it or not.For those who are secretly jealous, Bai Xiaoyuan doesn't bother to pay attention to their temptations, just keep a polite distance.

As for the person who wants to make friends with them, it is not enough to treat each other with sincerity, Bai Xiaoyuan feels that it is necessary to "prescribe the right medicine" at this time.Regardless of others, Yu Xian may be a cold and cold image in the eyes of others, but in Bai Xiaoyuan's eyes, he is actually a very approachable person.Although in the eyes of his classmates, Bai Xiaoyuan was rushing, and Yu Xian rarely responded indifferently, but in fact, Bai Xiaoyuan knew that he was already a very important friend of Yu Xian—it was definitely not his narcissism, Bai Xiaoyuan Yuan dared to say that if he needed Yu Xian's help with anything, as long as it wasn't murder and arson, the other party would definitely help him unconditionally.

In fact, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't use any methods or skills when communicating with Yu Xian, all relying on a warm heart.Yu Xian is the kind of person who can't help but respond when others treat him well. As long as he can hold back Yu Xian's indifferent face and persist in approaching the other party, he can easily become Yu Xian's friend.

Although I've heard a lot of sayings like "you will get what you pay for", in fact, feelings don't follow this rule very much. Treating people with enthusiasm may get a cold response, and helping others with heart may receive a sentence of meddling.Bai Xiaoyuan thinks how wonderful it would be if the world were full of people like Yu Xian who, although they looked cold, insisted that "I have to pay more for what others give me".

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoyuan sent a New Year greeting to Yu Xian who had just won the title of "Treasure of the World".For Yu Xian, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't need to say anything fancy, just followed "Happy New Year" with three exclamation points to be quite vivid.After sending it out, Bai Xiaoyuan felt that he was not sincere enough, so he used the Spring Festival Gala as the background to express the three exclamation marks vividly and vividly.Bai Xiaoyuan played back the message he sent, and felt that it was quite lively.

After a while, Yu Xian's news came back. Bai Xiaoyuan guessed that the other party must be watching the Spring Festival Gala with his family, so the reply was a text message.

"Happy New Year, who is in your family?"

Bai Xiaoyuan was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Yu Xian to listen to the voice, so he typed honestly and replied: "Me and my TV, and maybe the unyielding heroic soul of Qiuqiu."

When Yu Xian received this news, he reflected for a long time what the ball was, and then he remembered that it seemed that Bai Xiaoyuan gave him the name of the prickly pear ball.

... Answer well, can't you be alone at home?Yu Xian pursed his lips, turned his attention away from the sketch that was not funny at all, and typed.

"Alone again? To be honest, do you want to consider raising a dog to accompany you?"

Bai Xiaoyuan replied with a classic sentence pattern: "I can't even support myself, so don't even think about raising a dog."

Yu Xian read the message and was about to reply when Hu Yue next to him stretched out his hand and poked him on the head, "The whole family is watching the Spring Festival Gala together, don't stare at your phone all the time, your dad and I didn't lower our heads. "

Yu Xian looked at Hu Yue with a somewhat displeased expression, and wondered if the Spring Festival Gala was so boring that no one would watch it seriously, otherwise why would his mother keep staring at him... But Yu Xian didn't want to quarrel on New Year's Eve Arguing, thinking of saying goodbye to Bai Xiaoyuan, he put the phone aside, but just as he looked down at the screen of the phone, a message from Bai Xiaoyuan popped up.

"I won't chat with you anymore, just enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. When you are embarrassed, you can try to scratch the sole of your left foot with your right hand. It will work wonders, thanks~"

Yu Xian took advantage of the situation and sent a greeting, then put the phone in his pocket.

Although the mobile phone is put away, but the mind is not something that can be stuffed into the pocket at once and said not to think.

I don't know how many years Bai Xiaoyuan has passed by himself.It's not that Yu Xian never thought of inviting the other party, but Bai Xiaoyuan, who usually comes to his house quite frequently and naturally, can almost regard his house as his own, but now he refuses quite firmly.Yu Xian also understands what Bai Xiaoyuan thinks. It is nothing more than that the lunar year is obviously more formal and important than New Year's Day. At this time, it is not good for him to go to other people's homes to join in the fun—no matter how close a friend is, it is not suitable. .

Yu Xian doesn't know what other people think, but he himself thinks it's okay to celebrate the New Year at a friend's house, but since it's Bai Xiaoyuan's own intention, Yu Xian can't force it, after all, he's not a stalker People can only chat with Bai Xiaoyuan more during the Chinese New Year—although Yu Xian thinks that the other party is not someone who is easily depressed, but this kind of scene of celebrating the New Year alone, even if you just think about it in your heart, it is too lonely.
