The pinch of sideburns protruding outward on the side of the cheek ruined the perfection of today's dress. He stood in the mirror facing the whole body and tried to smooth it with his fingers, but to no avail.

"Jiang Yujie, the dormitory supervisor said that your girlfriend is waiting for you downstairs."

Shen Xinying shouted with the dormitory's public microphone.

"I'm going down here."

The cylindrical object in the drawer was tightly wrapped in blue wrapping paper. She could only vaguely see the shape but could not identify what was inside. She carefully put it into the backpack, and before leaving, she looked at the mirror again and again. Pulled the sideburns.

Her efforts were of course in vain.

Hurrying to the door of the dormitory, Yan Ziqiao was wearing a black waist-shrinking long dress, standing under the arcade of the dormitory with his hands clasped and his toes close together.

Hearing Jiang Yujie's footsteps, she turned around happily: "Yu Jie!"

"I'm here." Jiang Yujie felt that Yan Ziqiao's clothes were a bit unfamiliar, "Sister, did you buy new clothes?"

"Well, how? Looks all right?"

Yan Ziqiao raised his hands and spun around in a circle, twisting up the hem of his skirt like a child.

Compared with her clothes, Jiang Yujie was more attracted by her movements. Standing on tiptoe, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her head: "It's so cute."

Yan Ziqiao, who was stunned for a while before realizing it, seemed unwilling to be attacked by Jiang Yujie, she raised her chin, and bit the other's earlobe fiercely: "Of course, I don't want to see whose girlfriend I am."

Jiang Yujie immediately blushed.

The two of them walked together on the sidewalk on Saturday evening, hawkers pushing carts, young men and women shopping arm in arm, high school students carrying schoolbags...

"Yu Jie, do you remember? Long, long ago, we used to kiss goodbye here."

The park near the school is emerald green, and every soft leaf brings back the memories stored in Jiang Yujie's mind a long time ago, in April, at night.

"I still remember. At that time, summer was not yet here, you came to the classroom to pick me up after class, we went to the family restaurant together, bought lo mei, and then we parted here. Senior sister, you told me at that time---"

""---Please stay with me, never fall in love with me, this is my only and last request to you dear. ""

Jiang Yujie and Yan Ziqiao spoke in unison, and after they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.The words that tormented each other in the past no longer brought them pain, but turned into silk threads, tightly intertwining their hands.

After walking through the park that contained the memories of the two of them, passing by the lo-mei vendors with bright yellow signboards, they came to the embankment near seven o'clock.

Red and white striped booth tents have been lined up next to the parking lot of Riverside Park.

Yan Ziqiao stared intently at the pinball game closest to them. Interestingly, it was not the pinball machine itself that attracted her attention, but the prizes of the pinball games displayed on the wall—in units of a dozen Glow sticks tied with string.

"Haha, do you want that? Senior sister has never played with glow sticks, has she?"

Jiang Yujie was just teasing her senior, but Yan Ziqiao's face turned red and she squirmed, "Yes."

Jiang Yujie looked at Yan Ziqiao in surprise, as if a rich lady who only existed in comics jumped out of the book and appeared in front of her, so she asked:

"Want it?"

Yan Ziqiao nodded.

"Okay then... Boss, please give me twenty marbles."

The stall owner replied: "Twenty marbles are ten yuan in total. Miss, sit here."

In fact, Jiang Yujie can still be called good at online games like fighting monsters (maybe there is still a long way to go from video game masters like Liu Qiuci and Zhao Wanru), but she is not good at such small night market games , Every time he missed the goal by a little bit.

After fighting for 60 yuan, Jiang Yujie finally got the fluorescent stick from the boss who was about to bloom with a bright smile—and this is the easiest small prize to get besides thanking you for your patronage.

"Wow, Yu Jie is amazing!"

Yan Ziqiao was so happy, Jiang Yujie gave her the light stick and led her away from the pinball stand.

Watching Yan Ziqiao fiddling with the light stick diligently.Jiang Yujie asked kindly: "Do you know how to make it light up? Like this a little---"

"I've watched TV anyway." Yan Ziqiao glared at Jiang Yujie unceremoniously, "What kind of strange image do you see me in your eyes?"

That must be a younger sister, right?Jiang Yujie answered in her heart.Um?This kind of statement is as if she loves her senior sister as a younger sister, but she is obviously the younger one...

...Well, but strictly speaking, the saying "I love my senior sister as a younger sister" seems to be correct.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yujie gripped the shoulder strap of the backpack tightly. The items neatly wrapped in blue wrapping paper were reminding Jiang Yujie of its existence through the shoulder strap of the backpack with its weight.

I love everything about you.Including such a childish you, I like it the most.

It would be great if the words she was embarrassed to say to Yan Ziqiao could be conveyed through this gift.

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang Yujie smiled and said, "It's okay... No, it should be something, right? Anyway, the fireworks are about to start, let's go up to the embankment first."

"Hey wait, wait a minute." Panting, Yan Ziqiao chased Jiang Yujie up to the embankment, "Yu Jie, wait a minute---"

"Sister, look!"

Red, green, orange, white, pink... The brilliance sprinkled like a waterfall, embellished the whole sky, brightened the whole embankment, like falling meteors, like winter tears, and like ---

"---It's like Honoka's chessboard legs, senior sister, so beautiful."

Under the illumination of the fireworks, Jiang Yujie's face shone brightly.

Yan Ziqiao was stunned.

Whether it was the panting caused by running wildly, or because of the person in front of her, she forgot to breathe and couldn't think, at this moment, she couldn't tell.

Maintaining a distance of half a step, she stared at Jiang Yujie.

If possible, I hope that time will not move forward, so that I can completely occupy you at this moment.

After the fireworks were over, Jiang Yujie's voice came.

"---Sister, actually I have something to give you."

Yan Ziqiao asked in a daze, "...something?"

The crowd watching the fireworks gradually dispersed as the fireworks ended, and finally, only the two of them were left on the embankment.

Jiang Yujie moved slowly, and turned her body towards Yan Ziqiao's direction. Her movements were like a machine that had forgotten to be oiled, and she seemed a little stiff.

Yan Ziqiao tilted her head with confusion on her face.

Opening the backpack, Jiang Yujie handed the package to her.

"This is something I've wanted to give you for a long time, but I just haven't been able to find a chance."

"This is……?"

It was a Russian doll with a green body and a big smiling face. It lay quietly in her palm and smiled at her. Yan Ziqiao raised his head in disbelief: "This is the one I wanted when I was a child...why did you- --"

Jiang Yujie took a step forward and hugged her tightly.

"During the time I was apart from you, I thought of you every day."

Jiang Yujie's eyes were red: "When eating, when going out to play, when I was with friends, every day and every night, I almost went crazy. It reminded me of our memories, so at that time, I knew that there might not be any Given the chance to give it to you, I brought it back because I love--"

Yan Ziqiao turned Jiang Yujie's face away, and blocked her next words with her lips. In December, the wind on the embankment is cold, but the temperature between the lips is warm.

The noisy human voices and hawking sounds below the embankment seem to be separated by a world, far away and unclear.

The two of them are still embracing each other.

"I know what you want to say, Yu Jie, I know, because I am too." Even though the tip of his nose, cheeks, and lips were dyed red by the cold wind, Yan Ziqiao's smile was still enough to warm every corner of his heart, "I I have something for you too."

She let go of Jiang Yujie, and hurriedly searched in her pocket with both hands. When she took out the wallet, the fluorescent stick in her pocket rolled to the ground with this action, but she didn't have the heart to pick it up.

"Although it's a few days early...But." Yan Ziqiao handed over the stamp with the doll, which she has treasured so far, to Jiang Yujie, "Happy birthday, baby. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't decide what to do Can represent my heart for you,

"But later, I figured it out. What I want to give you is happiness. Maybe for me when I was a child, what I really wanted was not the doll itself, but 'happiness'. It was you who gave me happiness. The happiness that I could not get from my mother was given to me, so I also want to give 'happiness' to you, because of you, I can understand that it is such a happy thing to like each other with the person I love."

The yellowed stamp was held in Jiang Yujie's hands. No one knew what kind of past Yan Ziqiao had experienced, and no one knew what this small stamp meant to Yan Ziqiao.

No one can know.

"Senior sister." Just like the way my senior sister collected it before, she carefully put the stamps into her wallet, and then, she cupped her senior sister's cold cheeks with both hands, warming them with her palms, "What you have never experienced in the past Yes, whether it's children's meals, Russian dolls, light sticks... or even love, let me accompany you to make up for it one by one."

Yan Ziqiao's pupils reflecting Jiang Yujie's figure contracted violently, she suddenly pushed Jiang Yujie's hand away, buried her face in her palm, so that Jiang Yujie could not see her expression, her whole body was trembling: "Don't look at me, I'm laughing so hard now very ugly."

Jiang Yujie panicked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry, I just wanted to express—"

She pulled Yan Ziqiao's hand from the opponent's face, only to find that her senior was really smiling, and as her classmates said, her ecstatic expression was really... not very beautiful.

"...So I was really laughing."

"if not?"

"I thought you were crying, senpai, your smiling face is too---"

"That's why I told Yu Jie to stop watching!"

Yan Ziqiao puffed her cheeks, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, both of them smiled.

"Oh, it's true. Even though the atmosphere was so romantic just now, we still couldn't maintain it for a few seconds before we were defeated."

Jiang Yujie and Yan Ziqiao held hands and walked down the steps of the embankment step by step, and couldn't help feeling a few words.

"What does it matter?" Yan Ziqiao leaned his head on her shoulder affectionately, "Later---"

"No, it's midterm exam, I have to go back to the dormitory to study, and I will definitely not go to your house." Yan Ziqiao didn't finish her sentence, but was flatly rejected by Jiang Yujie, who already knew her personality very well, "It's no use acting like a baby. "

no way.Yan Ziqiao could only use his free other hand gloomily to wave the fluorescent stick that he had searched for a long time before finding it from the river embankment, and whose light had become faint.

Jiang Yujie stared at Yan Ziqiao: "Sister, have you ever been to teach outside school?"

"Why are you asking that suddenly?"

Jiang Yujie replied: "Because there are many things that you have never experienced, sister, including light sticks and children's meals, so I am curious."

"Yes, I have gone to every out-of-school teaching."

Jiang Yujie asked curiously: "Which out-of-school teaching will make you want to go back and experience it again?"

Yan Ziqiao stopped waving the light stick and shook his head: "There are many interesting memories of out-of-school teaching, but there is nothing that makes me want to experience it again, because you are not in those memories."

Jiang Yujie felt that her face must be blushing.

The senior who can say these words without changing her face is definitely not an ordinary person.

Back at the entrance of the alley, Yan Ziqiao reluctantly raised his hand: "Then see you Luo."

"That, senior."

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Yan Ziqiao's face, Jiang Yujie faltered for a long time, and after Yan Ziqiao's repeated inquiries, she finally mustered up the courage to whisper in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Sister, your side shouldn't be too crowded, right? No, no, I want to ask if you are still willing to add another person? I, I... can help with cleaning, laundry and cooking. I mean, if you don’t mind, would you like to let me live, live with you exist……"

"Are you willing to move here and live with me?" Yan Ziqiao understood immediately, her eyes widened, mixed emotions of surprise and ecstasy formed a strange expression on her face.

Jiang Yujie observed Yan Ziqiao's reaction uneasily: "Even if I have rejected your request to live together in the past, are you still willing to live with me?"

"Isn't that natural?" Yan Ziqiao jumped up and hugged Jiang Yujie's neck, "I'm so happy, Yu Jie, I'm so happy, we finally... When are you going to move here, next week? Tomorrow?"

"Not so fast. After all, the dormitory has to go through the check-out procedures first, not to mention... If you want to live together, there is an important thing to deal with first, and this thing needs the help of the senior."

Yan Ziqiao blinked in confusion: "Me?"

"Yes."

With a serious and sincere attitude, Jiang Yujie said word by word:

"On the night of next Thursday, December [-]th, my birthday, can you come back to my hometown with me?"
