Look at that pair of school grass

On the last day of this year, Su An lived a little deserted.

The homework was piled up in the corner of the desk, together with the homework that Qi Wenxuan had done early and was brought over by him, a half-finished political paper was spread out on the desk, the black fountain pen with the cap reversed on the end of the pen, lying on the paper alone, right as paperweight.

Su An nestled in the chair, her feet covered with home cotton socks also stepped on the seat, and she was curled up holding the mobile phone with both hands horizontally. He had a stick in his mouth. At first glance, it looked like a cigarette, but it was actually a stick. Too sweet lollipops.

The battle was fierce on the mobile phone screen, Su An stared at the screen intently, his left and right thumbs flew up, the perspective of the character in the game was constantly changing, and his position was coquettish, a series of chugs made the opposite person into a sieve.

"Pretty." Su An said to herself.

He put down the phone and took out the lollipop in his mouth. Before he could put it back, his teammate's irritable voice came from the phone: "Don't be dazed! Behind you, big brother!"

His character was shot in the game.

"Fuck, sneak attack." Su An hurriedly put the candy back into his mouth, found a nearby cover to hide, squatted down and quietly aimed at the direction that attacked him just now.

There was a gunshot, and Wang Xinba's ruthless voice came out from the phone: "Dead."

"Nice." Su An praised without hesitation.

This year's final battle ended with a perfect victory and came to an end.

"Are you still coming?" Su An asked the other side after the round of settlement was over.

"I won't come, the store will be busy later." Wang Xinba replied.

It was getting dark, Su An stretched himself out from the posture curled up on the chair, and stretched his waist: "Okay, see you next year. Well...Happy New Year."

The voice on the other side was noisy for a while, and then he squeezed out a sentence awkwardly and extremely uncomfortable: "Happy New Year."

After Wang Xinba finished speaking, he went offline. Just as Su An was about to quit, a message from Shen Zhi popped up in the game: [Brother An, let's play a game? ]

[not coming. ] Su An replied to him, [I just finished playing, my eyes are tired. ]

Shen Zhi sent a series of dots, and then said: [Recently you don't play games with me, Brother An, you have changed, do you have other dogs outside? ]

Su An thought for a while and typed: [There is no dog, there is only Simba. ]

Shen Zhi: […Damn, it turned out that that little bitch was seducing me, Brother An, and gave me his game ID, and I immediately beat him until mom didn't recognize him! ]

Su An flicked an ID, and said: [Give up, you bronze don't fight hard with the king. ]

Shen Zhi sent an angry expression and didn't reply. Before Su An went offline, he saw that he was already in the game.

Turning off the screen, Su An put the phone on top of a pile of homework, stared at the political paper in front of him for 3 minutes, the lollipop rolled twice from left to right in his mouth, and sweet grapes filled his throat smell.

He turned on the phone again, clicked into Qi Wenxuan's chat box, and the photo that Qi Wenxuan sent at noon today popped up on the screen. It was a group photo of the Qi family of three in the hot spring.

The hot springs in winter are misty, and Qi Wenxuan is lying on the side of the soup pond and holding up his mobile phone to take a selfie. In the photo, his handsome smiling face is enlarged. Behind him, Qi's father and Qi mother are sitting side by side on the other side of the soup pond, comparing scissors to the camera.

Just looking at a simple photo, you can feel the harmony and happiness of this family of three, which makes people feel envious.

Qi Wenxuan sent a message following the photo: [Su Xiaoan, my parents said it would be great if you and Aunt Lan came too. ]

Before they planned to go to the hot springs, Qi Wenxuan had invited Su An, but the family of three had a sweet family trip, and Su An was too embarrassed to intervene in it all the time, and declined on the pretext that the exam was coming soon and he needed to study at home.

Qi Wenxuan didn't believe this kind of nonsense, so he just nodded: "Okay, then I will take you there next time, don't cry when you are alone in New Year's Eve."

"How old do you think I am?" Su An smiled and said that she didn't care, "Besides, my mother is at home."

As a result, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, a phone call from the hospital called Yang Lan out again.

This kind of situation where the doctor who is on vacation is temporarily called back for surgery is usually a fierce battle. Su An reckons that he will not be able to see his dear mother this year.

A person was facing the empty house, and the opposite door was also dark and empty. It was getting dark at this moment, and before Su An got up to turn on the light in the room, the dark sky outside the window could barely illuminate the furnishings in the room. Suddenly, Su An Feel the loneliness that comes with the darkness.

In fact, he can also ask Shen Zhi to go out and hang out, and the two of them will find a shop to spend the New Year's Eve like wandering souls, have a toast, and then the two brothers will hook up and go home together.

But when this idea came up, Su An felt boring again after a while.

Just something is missing.

[Brother Xuan, I miss you a little bit. ]

Su An typed this line, thought about it, and then deleted it. In the end, only the word "Brother Xuan" was left, and sent it over.

There was no immediate response, the lollipop was left with only a plastic stick between his lips, Su An pinched it with two fingers and threw it into the trash can under the desk.

The stomach that had absorbed some sugar began to growl, but Qi Wenxuan hadn't replied yet.

Su An put down her mobile phone, walked to the door of the room and turned on the lights in her bedroom, and then turned on the lights in the living room and kitchen all the way to spread the light, and then turned on the TV in the living room, and tuned it to a certain satellite TV that will have a New Year's Day party at night , I got into the kitchen to heat up the meal left by my mother at noon.

In the brightly lit home, commercials played in turn on the TV, and the microwave oven buzzed in the kitchen, life suddenly revived.

Su An hummed to the TV commercials, and plates of heated dishes were served on the table, with the aroma of the hot food wafting.

The phone in the room vibrated twice.

Su An dragged lazily across the floor on a cotton mop, and Qi Wenxuan's message popped up on the phone lock screen.

"Hey~" Su An laughed, and felt a little silly after laughing, and then clicked on the message.

--What's wrong?

—Oh, I guess you missed me.

——What are you doing, have you eaten yet?

Just as Su An was about to reply, a video chat invitation was thrown over. Su An was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to use the reflection of the phone screen to stroke his bangs, and then he connected.

Qi Wenxuan's face appeared on the screen from the perspective of his nostrils. No matter how handsome his face was, he couldn't stand this death perspective. Su An was caught off guard and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha Brother Xuan, you..." Su An walked all the way to the dining table with his mobile phone in his hands, "Are you sent by the heavens to make me happy?"

The opposite side seemed to be in a restaurant, and the surroundings were a bit noisy. The screen kept shaking with Qi Wenxuan's adjustment of the angle of view, and Qi Wenxuan's laughter could also be heard in the doggy video.

After the angle of view was adjusted, Su An saw their family of three sitting in front of a warmly arranged square table. There were several exquisite dishes on the table, and each person poured some red wine into their glasses, which was very emotional.

"Hello Uncle Qi, hello Aunt Wen!" Su An sat upright and greeted obediently, "Happy New Year~"

"Hey, An'an, Aunt Wen also wishes you a happy new year~" The fine wrinkles on Song Min's face were wiped away in the video with beauty effects, and she looks like an intellectual sister in her thirties at the moment , "Have you eaten yet, where is your mother?"

"Ah, I'm getting ready for dinner. My mother... has gone to work overtime." Su An smiled at her.

"Oh, I knew I brought you here, how boring it is to be alone during the New Year's Eve." Song Min felt a little distressed when she heard it.

Just as Su An was about to say something, the video screen trembled, as if Qi Wenxuan walked to the side with his mobile phone, only Qi Wenxuan's face was left on the screen, and he frowned slightly: "So you are at home alone?"

"That's right." Su An put his phone aside and ate live. He picked up a piece of chicken and put his chopsticks in front of the camera. "Did you see this chicken leg?"

After finishing speaking, he retracted the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, saying vaguely, "Eat it and I won't give it to you."

The video over there was stuck, but from the blurred picture, Su An suspected that Qi Wenxuan was laughing at him for being stupid.

"You're just kidding." Qi Wenxuan said, "So, will Aunt Lan come home tonight?"

"Hmm... It's hard to say, but based on past experience, I probably won't be able to come back." Su An took a mouthful of food again and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it, you guys have fun, remember to take pictures for me .”

The network signal over there was really not very good, so I hung up after chatting for a long time.

Su An finished her meal in silence, hummed a song, washed the dishes and cleared the table. After finishing everything, she sank into the sofa, swiping her phone while waiting for the opening of the New Year's Day party.

This year, as always, all the big TVs are competing for splendor. Su An presses the remote control to jump up and down to watch in turn. Watching them face-blind.

The time is approaching zero by one minute and one second.

With the TV on, Su An took a shower and came out, thinking about going online to play games after zero o'clock, and have a good start to the new year.

On the TV, a very energetic host shouted loudly: "The bell of the New Year is about to ring—"

Before the countdown started, Su An's cell phone rang one step faster than the bell. He was stunned at the word "Xuan Xuan" on the screen, and then realized that it should be New Year's greetings or something, so he picked it up: "Hello, Brother Xuan?"

"Su...Su Xiaoan." Qi Wenxuan on the other side of the call was panting, "Open the window, open the window!"

Su An was stunned.

Realizing that an unlikely event was probably happening, Su An rushed into the room in two steps and climbed up to the desk in front of the window, knelt on the desk and slammed the window open.

Cold wind poured into the warm room, and on the way from the entrance of the corridor to the gate of the community, a figure was running towards the downstairs of his house holding a mobile phone.

"Ten—nine—eight—"

The countdown started on the TV in the living room, and Su An also held his mobile phone to his ear. There was a panting sound wrapped in cold wind from the receiver, and he followed the shadow downstairs with his eyes wide open.

The figure became more and more familiar as it got closer, until it stopped under a street lamp downstairs, and Su An saw the handsome face that he had remotely videoed with him a few hours ago, half-hidden under the scarf, looking up at him.

The blue and black plaid scarf was given to Qi Wenxuan by him as a Christmas and New Year gift a few days ago.

"one!"

The New Year's bell rang impressively, and the faint sound of fireworks in the air from earlier suddenly became denser with the arrival of zero.

Under the reflection of fireworks in the distance, Qi Wenxuan raised his head, and the voice came from downstairs and from the earpiece at the same time, with a smile: "Su Xiaoan, Happy New Year!"

Su An half-kneeled on the slightly cool table, leaning on the window frame, obviously facing the cold air, but her heart was unbelievably warm, so warm that a sour taste rushed to her nose, and her eyes were filled with water vapor.

He sniffed and said, "Brother Xuan, happy new year."
