Food and Garden [Rebirth]

Christmas is just around the corner, and when I woke up this morning, it was snowing in the sky.

This is the first snow this year.

Qi Muyan thought of last winter, when Du Xichuan took him to check the surroundings of the house to see if there was any aging, and the two stepped on the thick snow step by step.

With a history of 200 years, the courtyards are all polished smooth stones, so the other party held his hand to prevent two people from falling.

Most of the building materials in this house are wood. If the wiring is old, it is easy to burn, and it is rainy and snowy, and it often needs frequent inspections and repairs.

Thinking about it now, a year has passed so quickly.

"What are you going to take me with today, I've set aside a day."

This was what Du Xichuan said to him in the morning, Qi Muyan was in a daze at the time, and only after he realized it did he start to get nervous.

If the other party deliberately spared the time, if he did not arrange it satisfactorily, it seemed unreasonable.

It's a rare holiday, it's still snowing outside, where is the best place for two people to go...

When Du Xichuan came back in the afternoon, Qi Muyan cleaned up and had no choice to go to the movies.

After arriving at the cinema, I found out that the tickets for Christmas had been booked three days ago, and there were no scalpers.

This day was a good day for couples to go on a date. Except for the movie theater, other places were also full, and his plans were completely disrupted in one fell swoop.

Without buying a ticket, Qi Muyan walked back to the person with some embarrassment, "The itinerary has changed, um, the tickets are sold out."

"Then let's go to other places." Du Xichuan had a good temper, because he had expected it long ago, so he was not surprised.

As long as two people are together, it doesn't make much difference to him what to do.

The shops on both sides of the street are decorated with colorful decorations, there are lush Christmas trees at the door, "Christmas Carols" are played everywhere in the shops, and there is light snow in the sky. This Christmas is very atmospheric.

There are people everywhere on the street. He and Du Xichuan seem to be just the two most ordinary people in the crowd, a couple among thousands of lovers. Thinking of this, Qi Muyan used his peripheral vision to look at the side faces of the people around him.

Fortunately, Du Xichuan still had a cold expression on his face, which made him less embarrassed.

The two of them didn't go where they expected, so they followed the flow of people, and Qi Muyan quietly contacted his roommate.

He really couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask for foreign aid, and sent a text message to Wu Hao: Where should I go for Christmas, or what would be better? "

In less than a minute, there was a reply to the text message over there: Is it with your girlfriend?

Qi Muyan glanced at the people around him from the corner of his eyes, and confirmed the answer. Although the other party is not a girlfriend, it seems to be almost the same.

Wu Hao thought that Qi Muyan was dating his girlfriend, and after teasing him, he told him the strategy in detail.

First of all, since it is Christmas, of course you have to buy a gift for someone, so that there will be surprises.

Then there are too many people on the street, and you can’t buy movie tickets. You can go to the park. Generally, today’s parks will have themed activities, and you can also spend no money. Girls generally like romance. There is actually little difference in where to go. The key is the attitude of the boys.

And of course a romantic Christmas dinner at the end is perfect.

If you have anything else, be sure to take safety precautions, Okamoto is sold at any convenience store.

The last sentence made Qi Muyan very uncomfortable. He lived in the dormitory for a semester, so he naturally knew what Okamoto was...

The two of them didn't reach that step at all, and he never thought that they would reach that step...

Putting away the phone in a hurry, afraid that the other party would hear or find out something, he almost felt that the phone was hot.

However, everything has long been seen by the calm person. Du Xichuan is used to analyzing the young man's thoughts from the subtle expressions. The corners of his mouth were bent, but he still did not speak.

The Christmas atmosphere in the shopping mall is very strong. This day is the time of the year with the biggest discounts, so many people, Qi Muyan, have been thinking about what to buy for each other. For clothes and trousers, he doesn’t know the size of the other party, and he has to buy them without the other party’s knowledge. If you buy it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon. The two went to the restaurant on the top floor to get a number, and then sat outside and waited for the number to be called.

Waited in line for an hour to get a seat for dinner.

Surrounded by people waiting for seats, it was the first time for both parties to have such an experience. During this period, the combination of two men was very abrupt in the atmosphere of lovers or girlfriends around.

Moreover, the two men were so good-looking, someone tried to take out his mobile phone to take a picture, but Du Xichuan stopped him with his eyes.

Du Xichuan narrowed his eyes and glanced over, the girl almost dropped her phone on the ground...

No one took pictures anymore.

The taste of the food in the restaurant is actually very average, but the atmosphere is great.

When we came out of the restaurant, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. It was still early. There were many people and cars on the road at night, several times more than in the daytime. The road conditions were very bad. The two of them simply gave up driving and walked. walk over.

Sure enough, there were themed activities in the park, and there were a lot of people. Some people gave light sticks to two people, and the Ferris wheel had the most people queuing up.

Qi Muyan turned to ask the opinions of those around him, "Xi Chuan, do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?"

"casual."

"Have you ever sat on a Ferris wheel?"

Du Xichuan hesitated, "No."

"Then let's go."

Qi Muyan led the people to buy tickets. No matter what they do today, they have to queue up. The two of them stood for half an hour before getting their turn.

The Ferris wheel slowly rises, and the night view of the entire city is at your feet. The neon lights dotted around the entire city are extremely bright.

Qi Muyan remembered that one Christmas, his mother took him to ride the Ferris wheel. He was about seven or eight years old at that time, and his mother bought him balloons and light sticks for him to hold in his hand.

In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the Sri Lankan man has passed away. I didn't expect to sit on the Ferris wheel again, and it was with this person.

Thinking of this, Qi Muyan's eyes inevitably dimmed,

Du Xichuan held the man's hand, Qi Muyan held him back, then turned around and smiled at him.

The traffic in the urban area is not good. It is estimated that driving back now will take a long time on the road.

In order to avoid the high score period of the flow of people, Qi Muyan dragged the other party to a nearby church.

On Christmas Eve, there will be singing and chanting activities in the church. Qi Muyan's mother is a Christian, and she used to bring her son to church on Christmas Eve.

Qi Muyan does not believe in religion. He feels that no matter whether it is a church or a temple, there is a kind of calming power in many cases.Pure and sacred, it will give people a moment of tranquility, a kind of spiritual comfort.

Du Xichuan looked at the people around him, he had no faith, but at this moment, this person was his faith.

The bell rings in the early morning, and the new year begins.

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."

---

When the two returned home, it was already past two in the morning, Qi Muyan came out of the bathroom, and only then remembered that he forgot to buy a gift for the other party today.

At the beginning, there was no chance, but I left it behind.

Du Xichuan took the towel and carefully wiped the boy's hair, "You can't go to bed until your hair is dry, otherwise you will have a headache tomorrow."

Qi Muyan took the towel, "I'll wipe it myself."

Du Xichuan went upstairs, then took a document down, and put it on the table.

Qi Muyan was stunned, put down the towel and picked it up to look, it was the transfer procedure of this house, and the date of stamping was a week ago.

"I originally planned to give it to you when you became an adult, but this time I will treat it as a Christmas present, thank you."

Qi Muyan finally came back to his senses, his voice was a little hoarse, he didn't know what to say, "I will give you the money at the market price tomorrow."

A year ago, he just moved in for this house, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them have been under the same roof for so long, "I don't want to hear that, you know."

Qi Muyan was dumbfounded for a moment, Du Xichuan stretched out his hand to hold the boy's hand, "Now you are the owner of the house, can you give me the right of residence for the rest of your life?"

He was asking for a promise, a promise that a teenager would take the initiative to be by his side.

Qi Muyan was stunned for a moment, and stared blankly at the person, the other person's eyes were deep, so that he could no longer avoid it like before.

"You think clearly before answering, this is your last chance, although, I will not let go no matter what."

After a long time, Qi Muyan nodded.

---

Marching overnight, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't showered, his clothes were sticking to his body, covered with sweat and blood, constantly soaked and then dried, but he had no time to take care of it, because everyone was like this .

Every minute of being alive becomes extremely profound, as if trying to squeeze out the last bit of potential, he finally knows that when he is in a desperate situation, a person's desire to survive will become so strong.

The wounded were brought back constantly. He didn't know medical skills, so he helped them do some simple bandages.

Some wounds are so deep that you can see deep bones, but if you see too much, you will become numb. In the face of war, human nature has been completely annihilated.

For the first time, he knew that the world is so cruel and people can be so cruel.

Qi Muyan approached the tent, and unexpectedly heard several people discussing the next battle, he stopped in his tracks.

The spy sent back the news that the enemy army will attack a nearby city tomorrow night, and the generals are discussing countermeasures because of this incident.

Since there is already an internal response in the city, once the appointed time is reached, the city gate will be opened from the inside. Whether the enemy will take over with the force of blowing away, the residents who are still sleeping will suffer catastrophe.

The military order issued by the other party is to massacre the city.

Use massacres to boost morale.

The city was not big, and it was not a military fortress. The residents and the defending army totaled no more than 1 people. If caught off guard, it could be said to be vulnerable.

Immediately there were generals who proposed to lead troops to support them, and others suggested that they could take the opportunity to ambush.

But it was vetoed by Xi Chuan, and he gave an order that no one could go to reinforce or let the news leak, and those who violated the military law would be dealt with.

Such a decision is to completely abandon the city.

Qi Muyan froze in place, he couldn't believe his ears, he never thought that this person would be so cold-blooded, he would die without saving, that was [-] lives, except for soldiers, most of them were old and weak women and children.

The reason for leading the army is not to protect the people, but this person only has slaughter in his heart.

At the same time, in addition to anger, there is also an inexplicable loss.

He was just about to leave when someone walked out of the tent, "Who is outside?"

He was brought in, and looking at the crowd, he couldn't help saying angrily, "Are you still soldiers who protect your home and country?"

Everyone responded in silence, and many people had doubts in their hearts, but here, the master general has the absolute right to speak, and everyone chose to remain silent.

Suffocatingly cold.

After all the people left, the person looked at him coldly, "Although you are a family member, you must also follow the military regulations."

"You're a lunatic, if you don't save yourself, you should at least send someone to notify them and make them take precautions!"

The man didn't explain and just walked out.

"Send him back to my tent, watch him carefully, and don't let him leave the tent within three days."

He was locked up.

-

Qi Muyan opened his eyes, he hadn't dreamed about the past for a long time, he touched the corners of his eyes with that kind of sad mood.

What happened later, did the abandoned city fall under the trample of iron hooves in the end, since it disappeared...

The dream is so real, it's like... my own experience.

The air seemed to still be filled with the smell of blood,

Du Xichuan opened his eyes, and looked at the people around him, who were looking at him intently.

"What's the matter? Looking at me like this."

"It's nothing." Qi Muyan sat up from the bed, his head ached, and he couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. "Did you dream?"

"Well, I had a...strange dream."

He didn't know how to describe it, the feelings of those two people were so similar, yet so different, two faces overlapped, one he resisted, while the other made him feel close.

"It's an unsatisfactory dream, and there is me, in the dream, I make you unhappy."

The young man put everything on his face, and he could easily guess it.

Qi Muyan looked at the person in front of him with surprise.

"It seems that I guessed right, no matter what you dreamed about, except what you see now, it's not me." Du Xichuan held the other party's hand.

---

Qi Muyan was a little absent-minded all day long, so he would keep thinking about those clips.

That unrequited dream.

Qi Qing patted the servant on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you, you're absent-minded today."

"It's nothing, I probably didn't have a good rest yesterday." Qi Muyan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, looking at the black and white piano keys in front of him, a little lost in thought.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, and the school's classes have basically ended. Qi Muyan came to school because he wanted to be alone.

After that night, the relationship between the two of them had taken a step forward, but he foresaw that dream again, and he was a little confused now.

Qi Qing looked at the people without saying a word, and waited for Qi Muyan to leave, she sat there playing the piano by herself, and after a while, someone knocked on the door and came in.

"Sister, you are here."

"Well, how's your game preparation going?"

"Senior sister, will you go to the competition? The teacher has always had great expectations for you. When will you come back? You see that he is so beautiful now, but he made you like this. It's not fair."

"I can't go, I'm like this now...so you have to go instead of me."

"Good senior sister, you are so good, I won't let others bully you for nothing, don't worry."

---

After New Year's Day, there will be final exams immediately. Unlike high school, the university holidays are basically free, and you can leave school at any time within a week.

Qi Muyan spends every day in the company, and still finds time to play the piano every day.

When Li Xinian came to find him, Qi Muyan was also very surprised. The other party told him that the piece he had completed was shortlisted for a very important award in the music industry, and asked him if he would like to attend the award ceremony.
