While watching a firework, the two of them didn't feel too cold, and it was only when they came back from the outside that they recovered completely.

Xie Shu also shivered from the cold, and kept rubbing his hands against the radiator after returning to the room, Jing Luo was also terribly cold.

The two occupied the heater, one on each side.

"Yes! Let you two be disobedient." The old lady said.

"I didn't expect it to be so cold." Jing Luo put his hands on the radiator.

"It's not cold in the twelfth lunar month." The old lady looked at her watch and said, "It's already midnight, you two should go back quickly, and come back tomorrow morning."

"It's already midnight, and you still chased us away," Jing Luo said with a sad face, "Old lady, you are so cruel."

"You child..." the old lady scolded with a smile.

After the two warmed up, the Spring Festival Gala had come to an end.

People of the older generation have the habit of watching their age. Xie Shuyi and Jing Luo sat on the sofa and listened to the old lady talking about their days in that era. There were bitterness and sweetness, but most of them were more bitter than sweet. When talking about sweets, the old lady's eyes will be red, and when talking about sweetness, the old lady will also smile and her cheeks will turn red.

Xie Shu also likes to listen to these messy little stories, perhaps because of his writing, he is very sensitive to stories, although he can't say he empathizes with them, but he can understand them to some extent.

These touching stories, along with the occasional fireworks outside the window and the warmth of tonight, illuminated his gray heart.

Xie Shu was also engrossed in listening, and chatted with the old lady from time to time, without even realizing that the people around him were so sleepy that they couldn't lift their heads.

Boss Jing couldn't sit still when he felt his shoulder being touched from time to time.

Xie Shuyi sat closer to him again, while continuing to chat with the old lady.After a while, he felt his shoulders sink, and when he tilted his head, Boss Jing's head was just resting on his shoulders.

Xie Shu also pursed his lips and smiled, supported Jing Luo's head to find a comfortable position for him, and took the remote control to turn down the volume.

"Asleep?" asked the old lady.

"Well, I should be sleepy." Xie Shuyi said with a smile.

"Wake him up and let him go to sleep," said the old lady, who was about to wake him up, "You are so tired from this pillow."

Xie Shu was also afraid of waking Jing Luo up, so he waved his hand lightly, "It's okay, Grandma, let him just sleep like this, it probably won't last long."

The old lady glanced at her watch and pondered for a while, "Then I'll get him a blanket to cover him."

Xie Shu also smiled and said softly, "Okay."

The old lady went into the room to get the blanket, and Xie Shu also took advantage of this time to quietly look at Jing Luo. Seeing that he was fast asleep, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and touched his face along the way.

The skin is good and smooth, Xie Shu also thought.

Hearing footsteps, he immediately returned to normal and returned his gaze to the TV.

"I still like to sleep so much." The old lady covered Jing Luo with a blanket and sat down beside her.

Xie Shu also smiled and said nothing.

"Sleep more," the old lady sighed softly, "make up for the sleep I lost in those years."

Xie Shu also captured information from these words, he asked: "How many years?"

The old lady didn't answer, but just sighed, and after a while, she continued: "This child was very miserable in the past few years. It's not easy to guard the house by himself when he is a teenager..."

"Did something happen?" Xie Shuyi asked after hesitating again and again.

The old lady glanced at Jing Luo, then at Xie Shuyi, with hesitation in her eyes.

She sighed, and said again: "In the few years when Xiaojing's mother left, this child seemed to be a different person. He didn't talk to anyone, but just sat in the yard by himself every day, and didn't ask to eat or eat. He just sat like that. Let's sit for a day."

"Where did Auntie go?" Xie Shu also asked.

"Married elsewhere," the old lady glanced at Jing Luo, "Xiao Jing's father left the second year after he died."

Xie Shuyi: "Didn't you come back?"

The old lady shook her head, "I don't know if I've been back or not. In the first few years, I asked about it, but when I asked, the child turned down and didn't say anything. After a long time, I stopped asking." She sighed, "I thought to myself, I will gradually forget it after a long time."

Hearing this, the doubts in Xie Shuyi's heart seemed to be explained.

Why does Jing Luo like to sit on the wicker chair in the courtyard, just sitting for a whole day.

Why did you say that I was not good over and over again after being drunk, and you didn't come back to see me.

He wasn't basking in the sun, blowing the cold wind, let alone drinking away his worries.

It was the bitterness in my heart that I couldn't hold it anymore, and it overflowed with the help of alcohol.

He was just waiting, waiting in the past, waiting now, waiting all the time.

Xie Shuyi turned his head to look at the young man sleeping on his shoulder again, his brows were slightly frowned, it seemed that he was not sleeping so peacefully.

The old lady said to herself again, as if she was caught in a long memory, "At that time, this kid couldn't cook, and there was no one at home, so every meal was just make do, and his grandma and I were old sisters, His grandma left early, and this is my half-grandson." The old lady smiled, and then said, "I think it's okay to eat, and I can't delay when I grow up, why don't I call him here every day? When I came to eat, I was embarrassed to come here at first, so I sent him the food every day. After a long time, he might not have the heart to see me, an old woman, running around, so he came to eat by himself, and ate a few moon."

Xie Shu also listened carefully, but his heart was full of pain, as if countless short but sharp thorns had been pierced into it. No trace could be found, but it was very painful.

"It's strange to say that one day, this kid suddenly told me that he wanted to learn to cook. I thought it was just a joke. Who would have thought that he was really serious about learning, and he learned it quite quickly. After a while, I have almost learned cooking, people look better, I can smile, and I can say hello to people on the street, and later, this kid doesn’t come to eat, just like now, he comes to see me from time to time old lady."

Speaking of which, a firework just bloomed outside the window, and the flame was red and bright, illuminating the darkness.

Xie Shu was also fascinated by the sound, and the sudden sound frightened him smartly. When he moved, the head on his shoulder also moved.

Jing Luo woke up, yawned, and rubbed his neck, "What time is it? Am I falling asleep?"

"Yeah, it's just you who feel too much." The old lady said with a smile, but her eyes were still a little red.

Jing Luo didn't think much about it, thinking that the two were still talking about the topic just now, so he took an orange.

Lying back on the sofa again, he tilted his head and looked at Xie Shuyi, only to see him staring at himself with a complicated expression, "What are you looking at me for?" He asked while peeling an orange in his hand.

Xie Shu also shook his head and did not speak, but his eyes were still fixed on him.

"Then are you still watching?"

"You're drooling." Xie Shu also pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Jing Luo was taken aback for a moment, and immediately raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, but the back of his hand didn't feel wet.

"I lied to you."

Realizing that he was deceived again, he threw the half-peeled orange peel in his hand, "...Get lost."

Xie Shu also smiled and picked up the orange peels scattered on the sofa, holding them in the palm of his hand.

One of them is holding Jing Luo's thoughts, those unspeakable sad past.

Seeing that Jing Luo woke up, the old lady did not continue the topic just now, "You two sit down first, and I will prepare things for worshiping the Great Immortal tomorrow morning."

"Worship the Great Fairy?" Xie Shu also asked curiously.

Jing Luo stuffed a whole tangerine into his mouth, and before the old lady could speak, he said in a flat voice, "You don't understand, don't you? Say goodbye to all the gods in the New Year, and you will be blessed in the coming year."

"Spiritual?" Xie Shu also asked.

The old lady smiled and said: "It's mainly because of this kind of intention. If you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, it's no big deal. If it's Chinese New Year, just make a plan."

Xie Shu also smiled and nodded, "It's true, the heart is the most important thing."

After saying this, the old lady went back to the back room to fold her gold ingots.

The living room was quiet again, Jing Luo took the remote control and turned up the volume, and the usual opening remarks of the Spring Festival Gala came from the TV.

Xie Shuyi also lay back on the sofa, watching the fiery stage background on TV, wondering what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?" Boss Jing asked.

No one answered.

"Ask you!" He bumped Xie Shuyi with his elbow.

"Oh..." Xie Shuyi finally came to his senses, "It's nothing, I was distracted."

"Are you happy?" Jing Luo asked again without looking at him.

"happy."

"Are you happy?"

"happiness."

"Is it unforgettable?"

"I will never forget it in this life."

Jing Luo paused, he actually wanted to ask, will he come again next year?

But it doesn't make any sense to ask this question. It's still early next year, so what reason does he have to come again?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xie Shu also asked back: "How about you, are you happy?"

"Okay."

Xie Shu also smiled, "It's okay."

"It's just barely, so-so, not very happy, but very happy."

Xie Shu also smiled, sighed lightly, and after a few seconds, he said: "Boss Jing, you are really the most special person I have ever met."

Before Jing Luo could speak, he added, "It's so special that people can't help but want to get closer."

Jing Luo smiled, and said after a few seconds, "You too."

It's so funny that it wants to be approached.

For the next time, the two of them didn't speak any more. They watched the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, listened to the occasional sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the window, and quietly waited for the arrival of the first day of the new year together.

During the period, the old lady moved the position of folding gold and ingots to the living room, because she was bored alone with no one to talk to.

Xie Shu also saw that this thing was really new, so he couldn't help leaning over to try it out.

This thing is much easier to make than dumplings, and before the old lady can teach it, Xie Shuyi can be a teacher.

Jing Luo looked at Xie Shuyi with a fresh look on his face, and said to himself, this can be regarded as a lesson for the elders and young masters of the people in the city.

Accompanied by the louder and louder sound of firecrackers, the first day of the new year came with such vigor and vitality.

The old lady took the folded gold ingots to the yard, where she set up a temporary tribute platform, offered several sticks of incense, and burned the folded gold ingots in an airtight container.

The old lady knelt down, put her hands together, and said silently in her heart: Please bless my son, grandson, and this child from other places. The coming year will be safe, healthy, and smooth.After reading, the old lady kowtowed reverently, and then he covered the airtight container again.

After all this work, the sky began to be gray and bright, and the sound of New Year's greetings could be faintly heard outside.

After finishing all this work, the old lady went back to the house and looked at the two young men who were slumped on the sofa. The two of them were in the same posture, their sleepy eyelids were drooping.

"It's nothing, you two can go back first." The old lady said.

"Stay with you for a while, won't there be people coming to pay New Year's greetings in a while." Jing Luo managed to pull himself together. He looked out the window. It was still a little dark, but according to previous years, it is estimated that people will come in a while .

"There's no need for you two, go back quickly," the old lady looked at Xie Shuyi, and said, "Besides, there will be so many people coming, and seeing Xiao Xie, I'm going to ask around again."

Jing Luo thought for a while, indeed, this small place of theirs does have this problem, "Then let's go."

"Let's go."

Xie Shu was also sleepy and dazed, and was a little dazed when he heard it. Before he could figure out the situation, he was called away by Jing Luo. Before leaving, he paid the old lady another New Year's greeting.

As soon as the two walked out of the house, they were refreshed by the cold wind, and all their drowsiness was blown away by the wind.

On the way back, it was still a little dark, but I saw many people visiting the house to pay New Year's greetings, most of them were in groups, and one could tell it was a big family.

From time to time, Jing Luo would say Happy Chinese New Year to the people walking towards him, but on the other hand, he still had to deal with the problems of those people. The problems were very unified and simple, nothing more than, who is this young man, and why has he never seen him before.

Jing Luo casually found an excuse to perfunctory, taking advantage of the darkness, he didn't chat any more, just grabbed Xie Shuyi's sleeve and walked home quickly.

Xie Shu also let him drag him forward, he smiled and said, "Why are you walking in such a hurry?"

Jing Luo walked forward without looking back, "For your own good."

Xie Shu was also puzzled, "Why?"

Jing Luo stopped in his tracks, turned around, and didn't let go of his sleeve, he said helplessly, "Would you like to be chased by people you don't know, asking where you work, what you do, whether you have a girlfriend, etc. New Year's must-have questions?"

Xie Shu also smiled, looked down at the hand on his sleeve, "I don't want to."

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Jing Luo said angrily. After speaking, he turned his head and prepared to continue rushing home.

Before he could take a step, his wrist was grabbed by someone's backhand. He was taken aback for a moment, then the hand moved down a little bit, and a familiar coolness spread into his palm, and then, he felt his hand was held, and slowly squeezed.

Unexpectedly, this time he didn't feel how cold his hands were. Jing Luo didn't break free, but turned his head dumbly, and asked mechanically, "What are you doing?"

Xie Shu also took his hand and took a step forward, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that you walk too slowly, or I will lead you to walk faster."

Jing Luo didn't speak, just followed Xie Shuyi's pace and walked forward. After a long while, he said to himself: "Then you have to hold tight."

Xie Shu didn't look back, he still walked forward, he tightened the strength in his hand again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's tight, no one can break it apart."

The author has something to say:

My head hurts so much!It's like blowing up!

Holding a small hand, happy::>_<::
