During the recent Spring Festival, the line outside their yard was very busy. Li Yibei was often woken up by the sound of the horn in the morning. Looking out of the window, he could see cars entering the old compound with tall buildings and dense trees. .His mother is used to getting up early, and at this time he was already making breakfast in the kitchen. The light from the kitchen leaked into his room, forming an orange streak on the floor.

He was never a nostalgic person before, or because there were too many shadows of Li Yuege in his memory, he always deliberately avoided the past.Now I suddenly return to the old days, except that I am not very comfortable with the details of life, and there is not much sense of disobedience. The fatigue accumulated from the busy work after adulthood has completely dissipated in this month's leisurely life. Dissipated from the bones What comes out is a comfortable feeling.

The weather was fine these two days, Li Yibei went shopping with his mother, Yao Wanran fell in love with a white cashmere coat in the mall, and took a long time in front of the mirror while trying it on.She is a beautiful woman who likes to dress up. Clothes, perfumes and luxury brands are her favorites. These things are exaggerated materials, but they can set off a woman very well.Staying away from the trivialities of tea, rice, oil and salt, and wearing brocade clothes, she can look more noble and elegant than many ladies.

His father used to like to describe Yao Wanran as a natural beauty. Even if he didn't make a lot of money, he still liked to see her dress up like a waste.He always felt that she should marry a rich man, not a little intellectual like his father who was full of gentleness.As for the romantic love when they were young, who knows if it has been exhausted by the ruthless life. Those deep or light feelings have never existed only with Yao Wanran, and it is impossible for their mother and son to discuss this issue.

He remembered that Yao Wanran remarried when he was in his sophomore year. Taking advantage of the last beauty, he married an old man whose name he didn't even remember. After moving to the United States, he even changed his nationality and never came back. .

Li Yibei felt that since this incident, he didn't even believe in family affection. Their mother-child relationship has always been a little alienated, but she gave birth to him, educated him, and depended on each other for life.He thought that this bond of blood was thicker than water was his last support, but he didn't expect to usher in such a decisive separation.

Most of the winters that year were warmer than in previous years, and the sun at noon would almost give people a bright feeling. He listened to the talk about getting married in the noisy school cafeteria.This was light news, and he even laughed a little happily, but the ending was not what he thought.

Yao Wanran still said, "Mom loves you."

He already knew how cheap love is from Li Yuege, so he just smiled.

"When you settle down there, I will pick you up to study abroad." This promise was quickly forgotten by each other, because they were busy managing their own lives. She raised him until he was admitted to university, and she didn't feel that owe something.

"Does it look good?" Yao Wanran turned around and asked him, interrupting his memory.

"Very good." He told the truth, and was very patient to watch her try one by one.No matter what happened in the past, it doesn't make any sense now. They haven't happened yet or won't happen at all. He feels that he just wakes up with another memory of himself in his mind.

This is a new life, and he will write off all the love and hate that belonged to the past.

"Everything you say looks good, isn't it embarrassing me!" Yao Wanran complained slightly, and tried another sweater.

Li Yibei smiled, flipping through a literary magazine and holding it in his hand.

In the end, Yao Wanran bought the white coat that she couldn't put it down. Although it cost her nearly a month's salary, the expression on her face was much brighter than usual.

The street is very crowded, the red color of the shopping malls is everywhere, and the music is so loud that you can't hear clearly.Yao Wanran wore a pair of high-heeled shoes, and her feet hurt from walking for a long time. She gave Li Yibei her wallet and shopping list and asked him to buy them.

"The bus is coming, get on the bus quickly." Li Yibei handed her the bag in his hand and urged her to get on the bus.

There are not many things on the list, almost meat and vegetables prepared for a few days of Chinese New Year.The vegetable market is overcrowded, and the ground is full of discarded vegetables, piled up together, and the unpleasant smell of fermentation is mixed together.

He has always disliked doing housework. Occasionally, he cooks himself a meal on a whim and goes to the supermarket to buy vegetables. When he suddenly steps into the noisy market, he feels a little lost. It fell on the hand, and there were a few dirty footprints on the white sneakers.

After squeezing the supermarket and returning home, when I went upstairs, I met a young man with his hands full. He looked a little familiar. After the other party greeted him, he realized that this man was the driver of Li Yuege's family. His name was Lu Xiu. Well behaved and sincere, he was responsible for picking up and dropping off Li Yuege at Li's house.

"Is it heavy to carry so many things? Let me carry some for you." Lu Xiu freed up a hand to help him carry things.

"No, it's only a few steps away. Are you going to my house?" The Li family is the only one in this building who has contact with them.

"Oh, Xiao Wu and I went shopping for new year's goods today, and Li Shao asked me to send a copy to your house by the way."

Li Yibei glanced at the things in his hand, and smiled politely, "No, I just bought it at home, and I can't eat too much, thank you for your kindness, take everything back."

Lu Xiu was a little bit embarrassed, "You can accept it after sending it to the door, and I can't say anything about taking it back."

"Then let me pass it on to you, otherwise it would be a waste."

Li Yibei has always given people a warm and friendly feeling, always smiling when talking, even if he is joked too much, his expression is light, but when those eyes look at people seriously, the whole person's temperament will become very different, A bit frightening and sharp, it seems that the next second will turn his face and change color.Lu Xiu was so seen that he couldn't refuse, so he agreed embarrassingly, and then took out an exquisite box and handed it over, "This is given by Li Shao alone, I dare not accept this."

Li Yibei took the things over, nodded, said goodbye to Lu Xiu, then turned and went upstairs.

Although Li Yibei said that the things were given to him, Lu Xiu didn't dare to accept it in such a daze, and called Li Yuege again on the way back to tell Li Yuege about it.

Li Yuege didn't know where he was playing, but there was a girl next to him shouting that it's time for Li Yuege to drink.Li Yuege didn't take it to heart at all, "If you don't want it, then you don't want it, and don't take it home for me, my mother will have to ask again when she sees it, so it's so long-winded." After finishing speaking, he hung up.

On New Year's Eve, I started working in the kitchen before evening. Although there were only two of us, we prepared a lot of dishes. We washed and chopped them all, stewed the pork ribs, marinated the chicken and fish and prepared them for deep frying.

Yao Wanran adhered to the ancient motto that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and he was never allowed to enter the kitchen. Li Yibei had nothing to do, took the paste to paste the Spring Festival couplets, looked left and right several times to find that nothing was crooked before he was satisfied.

The New Year's Eve dinner for the two of them seemed a bit deserted, but compared to those Spring Festivals he spent alone, he even felt a little cherished in his heart. It was rare for him to take the initiative to pick up food for his mother during the meal.

Their mother-child relationship is not bad, but they have never shown much warmth. Such small actions will make him feel hypocritical.

"Tomorrow I'm going to worship Buddha in the temple, you go and see grandpa." Yao Wanran talked to him.

Li Yibei still had food in his mouth, so he didn't answer, just nodded.

A table of dishes arrived late, and in the end, only traces of passiveness could be seen, and they were all put in the refrigerator.

Li Yibei was a little stuffed, drank a bowl of soup and then lay down on the sofa, the TV was on and no one was watching.

Yao Wanran didn't like his unscrupulous attitude, and she didn't forget to tell him when she cleared the table, "Don't lie down after eating, it doesn't look good."

The phone rang at this time, Li Yibei didn't want to answer it, who would call at this time?Yao Wanran urged him to pick it up, "Quickly pick it up, it might be your friend calling."

Then I heard Li Yuege's voice, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Ah."

"Then come down, I'm downstairs at your house."

"What are you doing?" Although the body is a 17-year-old body, he has already passed the frivolous youth in essence. On this New Year's Eve, he only wants to eat and drink enough to watch the year and go to bed after setting off firecrackers, not to be nice with a bunch of young people Carnival in the form of disturbance.

"Come down, it's just the two of us." Li Yuege's voice lowered a bit, mixed with the whistling night wind, there was inexplicably a gentle meaning.

The tone is not ambiguous, but there is always a different feeling in it.

Li Yibei hooked the corners of his lips, but didn't speak, he wondered if his previous self had drawn himself in such details as a prison.

"I'll wait for you to come down." Li Yuege didn't ask any more questions, but directly made a conclusion.

"Mom, I'll go out for a while." Li Yibei put down the phone, put on a long coat and went out.

As expected, Li Yuege was waiting downstairs, and the street lamp cast an orange light above his head, casting a long shadow on the ground.There was a strong night wind, so he turned up his collar before walking over, "What's this in the middle of the night?"

"Aren't you bored sitting at home?" Li Yuege retorted with a smile. He was only wearing a turtleneck sweater and jeans underneath, standing there upright, looking like he wasn't afraid of the cold at all.

"It's different and boring when you come out." Li Yibei felt cold when he looked at him, and raised his hand to touch his face teasingly, "Don't you feel cold?"

He had just come out of the house, his hands were very warm, after he touched it, he was about to take it back when Li Yuege grabbed it. He didn't mean to be angry, but just said lightly, "Don't touch it randomly."

He forgot that Li Yuege didn't like others to touch him casually.

The two found an open space to set off fireworks. This city is not as prosperous as it will be in the future. Under the neon lights, the black sky and twinkling stars can still be seen. The sound of fireworks exploding is more shocking than the brilliant colors.

Li Yuege was in charge of lighting the fire, while Li Yibei leaned against the wall and watched, turned his back to block the wind, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth.The place where he stood was too dark, and his whole body was engulfed in the darkness, only the red cigarette butt flashed to reflect the outline of his face.

Li Yuege also asked him for a cigarette, but the fire was blown out by the wind a few times, so he leaned closer to him, and lit his cigarette.

The faces of the two were very close, Li Yuege looked at Li Yibei's cold and delicate face in the faint light of the fire, and suddenly wanted to kiss him.
