33 degrees southwest

A few days before the Spring Festival, Shen Zhifei went back to Hanjiang City to pick up Shen Zhiming. The winter vacation of senior three students basically only lasted a week before and after the Spring Festival, and they couldn't make up fourteen days even if they were fully booked.

In previous years, both of them stayed in Hanjiang City until New Year's Eve, but this year they broke the old rule and returned to Linwan a week earlier.

What was it for? Shen Zhiming couldn't see through it, and smiled like a little fox weighing two hundred pounds.

After returning to Linwan, Shen Zhifei took Shen Zhiming to buy a new set of clothes. Although children only had blue and white school uniforms to wear at school, it was the New Year anyway, so there was a need for a new look.

After shopping for clothes, Shen Zhifei took his younger brother to the corner of the street, and stayed in Anshu's bar for a while as usual.

Shen Zhifei knew that Anshu was alone, so every year before the Chinese New Year, she would spontaneously stay with her, but every time, she would send the siblings back home on the grounds that Anshu was annoyed by her.

As soon as Shen Zhifei parked the car, Shen Zhiming put on his seat belt, jumped out of the car, and rushed in in two or three steps.

He first said hello to the bartender at the door, and then saw An Shu coming out from behind stroking her hair, grinning, showing the standard eight teeth, "Happy New Year, Sister Shu! I—"

"You're here again—" An Shu seemed disgusted, but in fact, she took up Shen Zhiming's opening remarks that had been repeated for several years with a smile on her face.

From the childish Zhengtaiyin to the slightly youthful juvenile voice, that little child has grown up like this.

Shen Zhiming took out a small cup from the corner of the bar with ease, lay down on the bar, and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, let me have a glass of the strongest wine here!"

The bartender was a cool little girl, but she smiled shyly. She pinched Shen Zhiming's cheek and said, "Are you an adult, little brat?"

"It's almost there, I'll be an adult next year." Shen Zhiming thought he was chic and flicked his bangs, which are not considered long, "Sister, I just want to try it, okay?"

Today's children are really rare animals who do not drink alcohol when they are underage. It is impossible to wait until they are adults to drink alcohol. If they go out to sing KTV with their classmates, they will be given a draft of beer.

Shen Zhiming is one of the special cases.

All the wine he drank since he was a child was in front of his sister or parents, and he always only drank orange juice and other drinks when he went out with his classmates, so that he was always teased by his friends.

The young man's delicate features and gentle smile make it easy for people to feel unbearable.

Xiao Meng couldn't stand Shen Zhiming's soft and hard foam, so she mixed him a glass of less strong wine.

As the sky was getting darker, the cup in front of Shen Zhifei had bottomed out, but his eyes were extremely clear, and Shen Zhiming's face had already turned red - a child would drink a cup.

An Shu pointed to the inside with her chin, "It's all here, sing two songs?"

On New Year's Eve, not many people came to the bar, they were all homeless people.

"No." Shen Zhifei waved his hand, holding his forehead, "I still have to take this kid home."

Shen Zhiming was not drunk, he used a hand-made fan to cool down his cheeks, and said with red eyes: "It's okay, you can sing if you want."

He remembered that when he was a child, he often heard his sister humming at home.Shen Zhifei can be considered a bit talented, without professional training and study, but he can sing well.

I just don't know when Shen Zhiming stopped hearing her sister sing. It seems that it was after she stopped going to school and started earning money to support the family?

"I don't want to." Shen Zhifei shook his head, pinching Shen Zhiming's collar at the back of his neck to lift him up, "Go home."

An Shu curled her lips, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave this year? Sister, I haven't started chasing people yet." She took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and continued to tease, "Why? Is there someone waiting at home?"

"It's good if I have it." Shen Zhifei smiled lightly, and shook Shen Zhiming like carrying a chicken, "Hey, my family that can walk around is here now."

"..." Shen Zhiming was shaken back and forth by his sister with question marks all over his head, he was a little dizzy even if he wasn't drunk, and looked at Shen Zhifei with a drawl: "Sister, I'm dizzy."

Shen Zhifei let go, "Okay, I'm really home."

An Shu raised her right hand and waved it, "Let's go."

"Sister An Shu, Happy New Year." Shen Zhifei put the bag on his shoulder and patted Shen Zhiming on the shoulder.

Shen Zhiming obediently stood up and said goodbye to An Shu and Xiao Meng, "Happy New Year, goodbye."

"Happy New Year." An Shu and Xiao Meng said in unison.

Shen Zhifei parked the car in the parking space at the street corner of his house leisurely, put on the bracelet that had been lying in the car for a long time, and then took Shen Zhiming's wrist and walked home.

This part of the old city has completely entered the state of keeping the new year. There is no one on the cold streets, only a few dim street lights are left to barely illuminate the road. Every house is lit, and the sound of the neighbor next door playing mahjong can be vaguely heard.

It's so lively.Shen Zhifei thought.

When he turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the door of the house, Shen Zhifei stopped subconsciously, thinking that it was another person that the second aunt had asked to block the door.

Don't those who celebrate the New Year make people feel safe?The corner of Shen Zhifei's mouth curled into a sneer.

She walked over impatiently and froze before she could speak.

The closer she got, the more familiar that figure looked, and when she was only ten meters away, the impatience on Shen Zhifei's face turned into flattery.

After all, at this kind of family reunion, Shen Zhifei never dared to think that Zhang Yao would appear here.

"Where did you go?" Zhang Yao knew that Shen Zhifei was back when she heard footsteps, but as Shen Zhifei approached, she smelled a faint smell of alcohol mixed with fragrance, and her face turned cold.

She waited here for nearly an hour in the cold wind, but in the end Shen Zhifei didn't know who to toast with?

The sky was too dark, and Shen Zhifei couldn't see Zhang Yao's expression clearly, but she could hear the displeasure in her tone, she took out the key, and explained: "I sat at Sister Anshu's bar for a while, and I didn't drink. drunk."

Zhang Yao's face turned pale, she moved her stiff legs and stomped slightly, "Hmm."

Shen Zhifei caught it with her ear, she unscrewed the door lock, and subconsciously grabbed Zhang Yao's hand with her backhand, almost shivering from her cold fingertips.

Shen Zhiming opened his eyes in a daze, just in time to see his elder sister holding her senior sister's hand with a serious expression, as if she still felt a little distressed.

Shen Zhifei shuddered and closed his eyes again.

See no evil. See no evil.

Why are the grown-ups so disregarded now, and there is still a minor here? How could he be involved?Did he drink too much and miss something?Are you going to kiss?

Shen Zhiming quietly opened his eyes a little...

There was no one at the door, only him alone and the door wide open.

Shen Zhiming felt a burst of desolation, and showed a shocked expression on his flushed face.

sister?elder sister?sister?

That's it?

He is her younger brother? !

Shen Zhiming entered the door aggrieved, then carefully closed the door, his mouth became a half-bracket, and he got into his room after entering the house.

He hasn't drank too much, and he won't take the initiative to be a light bulb. He knows that at this moment, the two people should be provided with a two-person world.

The automatic water heater was boiling, and Shen Zhifei picked up the kettle that was still bubbling with water mist, poured a glass of water for Zhang Yao, and put it in her hand, "It's warm, drink it when it's cold."

Zhang Yao sat on the sofa holding the cup, inadvertently glanced at the ashtray on the coffee table, her eyes froze for a while.

Shen Zhifei followed her gaze, cleared his throat pretending to be natural, and asked, "Why are you here?" Today is New Year's Eve.

"Passing by." Zhang Yao cherished her words like gold, and the dense fog made her unable to see Shen Zhifei's face clearly, which also appropriately relieved her embarrassment.

"...Oh." Shen Zhifei held back and held back, and said a word dryly, "Then you—"

"I'll be leaving in a while." Zhang Yao cut off her words, raised her eyes, her fingertips rubbing the wall of the cup were a little hot, "I just wanted to see, my parents are still at home waiting for me to go back."

What are you looking at?

Shen Zhifei was stunned for a moment, and belatedly, he smacked out a bit of sweetness, like biting into a cotton candy, which melted sweetly and softly in his heart.She pursed her lips and blurted out, "Then you came to see me?"

Zhang Yao stopped talking and let out an inaudible "hmm", her ears felt hot.

Shen Zhifei didn't play the cards according to the routine, she was a little overwhelmed.

Shen Zhifei smiled brightly, raised the end of his eyes slightly, and with a touch of probing, asked in a low voice: "Then can my points be converted into positive?"

Zhang Yao looked at her suspiciously, and immediately remembered something.

The extra points system originated from their love code in high school.At that time, Shen Zhifei was a little lazy, relying on her cleverness and often sleeping in class, Zhang Yao made a rule for her, if she performed well, she would get extra points, and every extra [-] points could be exchanged for a hug or a hand-holding, and the points would be deducted. Correspondingly, Zhang Yao cannot be touched for a period of time.

After Zhang Yao came to her senses, her expression was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect Shen Zhifei, who hadn't seen her for many years and whose skin was thinner than dumpling skin, to be so "scary" now?

"It's not close." Zhang Yao said lightly.

Shen Zhifei moved closer to her, embraced the pillow and kneaded it, and asked, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Yao stared fixedly at Shen Zhifei's dark and pure eyes, and for a long time, said four words loudly:

"Your past."

Those pasts that she never knew, and those grievances that made Zhang Yao feel inexplicable.

Shen Zhifei's expression froze, and his face was a little pale, but fortunately, it was not too gloomy.

She chuckled lightly, and joked, "Aren't you going to let me become a full-time member without telling you?"

Zhang Yao nodded seriously.

Shen Zhifei put away her smile, and returned with a serious attitude, she said: "Then you promise me, don't deduct points."

Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.

Shen Zhifei took a deep breath, glanced deeply at the family portrait in the video cabinet above the TV, and his eyes were flushed.

The author has something to say:

Shen Zhifei: You can level up with just a little bit of experience points!

Zhang Yao: Deduct 100 experience points.
