self-deprecating

Han Zizhou said he wanted to combine work with rest, so Gu Ze didn't go to his home to make up lessons during the holidays, but checked for omissions at home and did homework by himself.

Bai Lu was chirping in the group.

Xiao Baibai: Come early tonight, everyone, otherwise you won't be able to get a good seat.

Outstanding Talent: What's a Good Position?

Xiaobaibai: There is a firework show on the other side of the river at night. If you stand too far away, it is easy to be blocked by the crowd.

Outstanding Talent: All right.

Xiaobaibai: It’s windy today, everyone, keep warm~ I look forward to celebrating the New Year with everyone.

Fanfan is not Fanfan: looking forward to it~

……

Gu Ze told Gu Lan in advance that he was going out with his classmates, but Gu Lan just told him to be careful and go home early.

The river in Rongcheng is a river that passes through the city. Gu Ze put on his coat and was thinking about which bus to take when he received a WeChat message from Han Zizhou.

Han Zizhou: Have you gone out?

Gu Ze: Get ready to go out.

Han Zizhou: I'll wait for you downstairs at your house.

Gu Ze saw the news, put on his shoes and went downstairs.

Han Zizhou stood downstairs, and the light from the windows on the first floor cast a slender figure. He was wearing a mask and a scarf, and only the next pair of eyes were illuminated.

Gu Ze stepped forward, "Why did you come here specifically to find me?"

"Can't you?" Han Zizhou asked back.

"Of course, let's go then?" Gu Ze smiled.

"Wait." Han Zizhou grabbed Gu Ze, took out a scarf from his backpack, and wrapped it around Gu Ze's neck.

The navy blue cashmere scarf with hidden grid is extra soft and warm.Han Zizhou lowered his eyebrows and tied a knot at the end.

The two stood under the light of the window on the first floor, Han Zizhou's face was close at hand, he lowered his head slightly, only a small shadow cast by his thick eyelashes could be seen.

Gu Ze felt that the breath he exhaled was hot.

After finishing the knot, Han Zizhou tidied up the scarf twice, took a step back and said with a smile, "I found two identical scarves in the closet. This one has not been unwrapped, so I gave it to you as a New Year's gift."

"But I didn't prepare a gift for you." Gu Ze was a little embarrassed.

"You gave me gloves and a mask before." Han Zizhou raised his hand and waved it, then pointed to the mask he was wearing.

The two gifts are not of the same level, Gu Ze is still thinking about what else to give to Han Zizhou.

"It's cold today, it's going to snow, bring a scarf to keep warm." Han Zizhou turned and walked out of the alley, "The car I ordered will be here soon, let's go."

Gu Ze didn't speak, but followed behind.

The two got out of the car, already shocked by the people in the square.

Usually I don't think much of it, but now I really feel that there are many people in Rongcheng.

Gu Ze took out his mobile phone from his pocket, wanting to ask where everyone is?

There are a lot of group chat messages.

Xiao Baibai, I am at the east gate of the square, which happens to be the closest to the other side of the river, everyone, come and see me. @all members

Fanfan is not Fanfan: Here I come!

Outstanding Talents: Why are there so many people?I'm still in the crowd.

Outstanding talent: Are Brother Ze and Brother Zhou here?

Gu Ze just saw the news, and replied: We just arrived, we came to find you.

Outstanding Talent: Alright, waiting for you.

Gu Ze put away his phone and said to Han Zizhou, "They're at the east gate, let's go find him."

Han Zizhou nodded.

The location of the east gate is really good, so the road is extra crowded.Pushing and pushing, Gu Ze was pushed far behind Han Zizhou.

Han Zizhou was so crowded that he lost his temper. He didn't have to move at all, and the crowd pushed him forward.

Gu Ze watched Han Zizhou go further and further away, and wanted to open his mouth to call him.

"Han Zizhou!"

The crowd was too noisy, and Gu Ze's voice was cut by half.

Han Zizhou frowned, and when he turned his head to look to the side, Gu Ze was no longer there.

As if hearing Gu Ze calling him, Han Zizhou turned around and walked back against the crowd.

Among the crowded crowd, Han Zizhou saw Gu Ze at a glance.

He was frowning at this moment, obviously impatient, but he was following the crowd and staggering forward.

Han Zizhou squeezed through the crowd and ran towards Gu Ze.

Gu Ze was a little irritable, and when he raised his eyes again, Han Zizhou appeared in front of him.

Gu Ze squeezed up to Han Zizhou and complained, "Why are there so many people here? I'm going to be crushed. I was out of my mind before I agreed to come here. I thought there were too many people and I would get lost, but you'll leave in a blink of an eye. It's so far ahead."

Han Zizhou smiled, "I found it."

Han Zizhou secretly thought, because it's you, he can lock your position just by looking up.

Across the sea of ​​people, walk towards you, cut through the thorns and waves.

Gu Ze stretched out his hand, "Hold on, I won't get separated after a while."

Han Zizhou took off one of the gloves on his hand and put it in his backpack, then took Gu Ze's hand and put it in his pocket.

"This way it won't be cold."

The temperature on the hands was transmitted from the fingertips to the heart, and Gu Ze felt that the palms of his hands were sweating nervously.

It's not like they haven't held hands before. They always have some physical contact when exercising together in physical education class, or doing other things normally, but Gu Ze always feels something is different.I've never been so nervous before, my heart beats so fast, it seems like it's about to pop out of my mouth.

Han Zizhou felt the hands in his pockets, and Gu Ze was sweating.

Sweat was sticky in the palm of his hand, but Han Zizhou didn't want to let go.

Just don't want to let go.

It was past ten o'clock when we found Bai Lu and the others.The location is good, you can just see the other side of the river.

When Han Zizhou and Gu Ze arrived, the hand they were holding was still in Han Zizhou's pocket.

Bai Lu glanced at the hands of the two with a look of deep meaning in her eyes, and then looked at them with a smile.

Even though he didn't do anything, Gu Ze felt inexplicably guilty.After struggling twice, he wanted to take his hand out of Han Zizhou's pocket.

Yao Jie arrived earlier than them, so he beckoned, "Didn't you all arrive just now? Why are you here now?"

"I got separated on the road, and I'm going to look for him again." Han Zizhou responded, and gently let go of his hand, allowing Gu Ze to take it out.

"That's right. There are so many people today, you two will not lose it soon." Yao Jie said indifferently, "But you two still put your hands in your pockets, just like a young couple."

As soon as the words "little lovers" came out, Gu Ze coughed so loudly.

Yao Jie was taken aback, "Brother Ze, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Ze shunned his breath, "It's nothing, it's just... choked."

"I thought you were scared by me," Yao Jie chuckled, "I know you two have a good relationship, just as good as the two of us."

Distraught by Yao Jie's words, Gu Ze raised his leg and kicked Yao Jie, "Shut up."

Yao Jie dodged to the side, jumped to the side of Tang Yuan, and shouted, "Little Tang Yuan, let's hug, it's too cold, we'll be warmer together."

Tang Yuan pushed Yao Jie away with a cold face.

There is still some time before zero o'clock, and there are simple light shows and New Year's Eve performances on the square.However, in order to find a place with a good view to watch the fireworks, everyone stood far away from the stage.

The lights changed, the singer sang pop songs, and everyone stood together in twos and threes, humming unknown tunes.

Gu Ze and Han Zizhou stood side by side in the crowd, a few girls were taking selfies, Yao Jie, Duan Yuelin, and Tang Yuan were fighting.

There are many people and it is not quiet. The sound of the stereo, the sound of talking, the sound of the whistle from the road, and the sound of laughter and slapstick fill the ears.

But Gu Ze felt very quiet, and all the sounds around him were infinitely reduced. Under the dark night, among the crowded and lively crowd, he lived in his own world.

Uncommon peace and relaxation.

Life is always very simple, under this sky, these moving human heads are just tiny ants, small and fragile.

Life is always complicated, daily necessities, sadness and joy, busyness and fatigue... Magnifying everyone is a drama that others cannot understand.

The new year is coming, Gu Ze sometimes feels that he is working very hard, but he doesn't know what the meaning of the hard work is for.In the vast universe, it is just a speck of dust, so what is it for?

Bai Lu and the others came over to take a photo with the two of them, but Gu Ze's mind was blank and he didn't pay attention to anything.

Han Zizhou had no choice but to call his name again: "Gu Ze."

Gu Ze came back to his senses, "Huh?"

"Let's take a group photo, the new year is coming." Han Zizhou smiled and held up his phone.

In the front camera, Han Zizhou took off his mask, and the scarf of the same style matched his fair skin.The foreheads of the two of them touched lightly, and Han Zizhou smiled beautifully, brightly and movingly.Gu Ze looked at it and raised the corners of his mouth.

Behind is the crowd, changing lights.

Gu Ze understood in an instant that even if we are dust in the universe, we still have our own stories.

Excited screams, noisy and laughing voices, and melodious singing penetrated into his ears, and the prosperity and hustle and bustle instantly surrounded him.

He is pursuing a better life, so he has to work harder.

"Why are you two taking pictures, we also want to take pictures together!" A few girls came over, holding up beauty cameras.

"Okay." Gu Ze smiled.

The faces of several people are crowded on a small screen, but it is full of excitement and joy.

Own your own life and have people with you.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and the countdown was already on the big screen.

"10, 9, 8, ..." The crowd began to count down.

"3, 2, 1!"

After the last number was called, the crowd in the square burst into cheers, and some people shouted "Happy New Year!"

As if they had a tacit understanding, the two silently turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

After speaking, both of them laughed at the same time.The fireworks show on the other side of the river has already started. The fireworks soared into the sky, embellishing the sky with flowers, and like scattered stars, they were shaken from the sky and fell to the ground.

fell in the eyes.Very bright.

The two of them looked at each other, and the bright and dark fireworks flickered on the opposite bank not far away, gorgeous, beautiful, and fascinating.

Another firework exploded in the sky, "Boom—"

Gu Ze felt that the fireworks in his heart were also blooming.
