longing

In the end, the report card was asked to be signed by Xu Yulai for a long time, because he couldn't hold back the answer his mother wanted, so he was forced to eat two bowls of rice that night.

The days are getting colder and colder. After entering December, it seems that the sun has hardly been out, and it has been cold and rainy all the time. The gate on the first floor of the teaching building is full of wet footprints and mud, which looks very dirty.In such weather, it is very difficult for people to cheer up, especially in the depressing third-year classroom, it seems that all the strength has been pumped out, and there is no spirit of fighting against the constant clamor of the college entrance examination.

Xu Wei huddled in a large cotton padded jacket, and entered the classroom with a cool look. Today's class is a bit lively, because it is Christmas Eve, even though the school has repeatedly emphasized that foreign festivals should not be advocated. One, the whole school is a little excited about this festival, and no one bothers to find out why and what to celebrate, they just want to find a little fun in the boring life.

It would be very cold to sleep in this season, so Xu Wei survived the morning class tremblingly. He was a little hungry after eleven o'clock, and he endured it until noon after school, and went to the second cafeteria with Duan Hefang and the others for dinner.Because there were a lot of people crowded, the cafeteria was still a little warmer, and the queue at the restaurant was very long. The four of them followed behind the queue, chatting and moving forward slowly.

"Shall we go out for dinner in the afternoon?" Cen Suisui was quite enthusiastic about this kind of festival.

"What's there to celebrate?" Xue Mo asked.

"Let's just find an excuse to go out to eat. I'm so tired from the midterm exam. I haven't gotten over it yet, so I have another monthly exam."

Duan Hefang looked up at her and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Eat hot pot, it tastes the best when it's so cold."

After exchanging glances with Xue Mo and Xu Wei for confirmation, Duan Hefang nodded: "Okay."

Xu Wei followed Duan Hefang at a distance of half a step. After eating, he found a seat diagonally forward and sat down. Cen Suisui sat next to him, and Xue Mo sat next to Duan Hefang.

"Xu Wei, why did you beat the carrot again?"

"Well, I prefer carrots."

"Don't you not like celery?"

Xu Wei slowly took one in his mouth: "Celery fights cancer."

Anti-cancer is also unpalatable. After Xu Wei ate one, he never wanted to move his chopsticks again. He listened to Cen Suisui and the others chatting about the grand occasion on Christmas Eve last year, while eating in silence.He has no impression of this kind of festival at all, the only one is to follow the trend and send an apple to Duan Hefang's drawer, but because Duan Hefang received too many apples, he couldn't catch Duan Hefang seeing his greeting card at all. It is also possible that I have never seen the expression on my face.

Xu Wei opened his eyes and glanced at Duan Hefang. If he gave it to him as a friend this year, he should be able to give it away.

In the afternoon class, I briefly drew the key points of the monthly exam. Xu Wei was obsessed with writing greeting cards. He just said to go to the toilet, and then ran to the store alone to grab them. There was a clumsy Santa Claus hanging on it, which was very ugly. To avoid embarrassment, he also bought one for Cen Suisui and Xue Mo.

After writing the five words "Happy Christmas Eve" for a long time, Xu Wei slowly finished writing all three greeting cards. He also added a sentence "Happy every day" to Duan Hefang's card. Then he looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and took the greeting card back. in the drawer.

Because it wasn’t long after school in the afternoon, the four of them went to the hot pot restaurant after class. Cen Suisui didn’t know when he bought the apples. The big and red snake fruit was wrapped in a delicate bag, and each of them gave a pieces.

Rubbing hot pot in this season is really refreshing. Xu Wei picked the vegetables in the clear soup pot. He actually likes spicy food, but he can't eat it very much. He only dares to make some chili sauce every time, and then pour a big spoonful of sesame peanut sauce.

"I just saw Chen Yan coming to ask you out again." Cen Suisui was slurred by the hot fat cow.

"She brought me an apple."

Unable to see Duan Hefang's expression clearly, Xu Wei frowned and slowed down the speed of chewing in his mouth.

"Hey, did she give it away last year too? Your peach blossoms are so deeply ingrained."

"There's nothing to worry about. Brother Duan is very skilled at rejecting girls."

Cen Suisui clicked his tongue and said, "Who told you not to talk about a relationship in high school, so that people will not stop until they get you."

Xue Mo glanced at her and said mockingly, "Did you fall in love in high school?"

"No...you didn't talk about it either!" She turned to look at Xu Wei: "Could it be that Xu Wei is the only one among us who is in love?"

Xu Wei was stunned: "No, I have never been in love."

"Good guy, gang of four."

"Xu Wei is very obedient at first glance, and doesn't seem like someone who would fall in love."

"You can see this, so who doesn't look good?"

Xue Mo looked at Cen Suisui like an idiot, and she stared at him with his chin raised: "What do you mean?"

"When I graduate, Xue Mo will definitely be the first among us to fall in love."

"You know again?"

Cen Suisui snorted twice: "That's right, if the three of you want to fall in love, just tell me, many of my little sisters are prettier than the other."

"At this time, if you are caught in a relationship, you can only die."

Duan Hefang's lips were a little red from the heat. He took a sip of Coca-Cola and said, "The other day I saw a girl in Class [-] in the office who seemed to be in a relationship, and she refused to say who she was."

"Is it the pretty one from Class Nine? What's his name Sun?"

Duan Hefang frowned lightly: "I don't know if she's pretty or not, but she cried a lot."

"I think it will delay their status even more if they are forced to break up."

Duan Hefang concluded softly: "Dead mandarin ducks emerge from under the stick."

Cen Suisui wailed: "The third year of high school is too hard. After the exam is over, I will find ten new boyfriends. I will go to the dean and kiss them one by one. I will piss him off."

Xu Wei was amused by her, and added: "And if you want to find someone with hair above his eyebrows, he will definitely be numb with anger."

"Speaking of this, I'm angry." Xue Mo rolled up his sleeves, "Last time when I was walking on the road with Duan Hefang, it was obvious that his hair was longer, and the director didn't seem to see him in his eyes, so he directly picked me up. got me in the office by the neck and pushed my hair out."

"Pfft ha ha ha." Cen Suisui laughed crisply, "Don't mention it, I think of your ugly appearance."

"It has nothing to do with me." Duan Hefang clarified: "My hair is not over my eyebrows."

"?" Xue Mo was dissatisfied, "Isn't it too much to raise your eyebrows?"

"Didn't I remind you, who made you look at your phone and missed the time to save it."

"I'd better go and cut it honestly this time, otherwise it will be miserable if he catches me again."

"Xu Yu's hair is also past his eyebrows." Cen Suisui said.

Xu Wei touched the black hair in front of his eyes, then straightened up, and used two index fingers to push the hair to the sides, revealing the delicate and fair forehead, and said, "This way the eyebrows will not be covered."

"good idea."

The few of them ate for a long time and missed half a day of evening self-study, but Duan Hefang took the lead in entering the classroom and blocked the head teacher's curse words in their throats, only telling them to move faster.

Xu Wei bought three apples during the class time in the middle of the evening self-study, and the merchant directly helped to wrap the beautiful box. Xu Wei went in through the back door of the classroom with his mouth in his mouth, and found an extra apple box on his desk. He picked it out in surprise Eyebrow, I was about to open it to take a look, and bumped into Xue Mo who came to deliver apples.

They held boxes of different shapes and smiled at each other.

"So tacit understanding?"

Xu Wei handed him the written greeting card and apple, and said, "The sense of ceremony is still very good, happy Christmas Eve."

It was very relaxed when I gave it to Cen Suisui. Except for the weird staring eyes of the girls next to me, which made Xu Wei feel a little uncomfortable, Cen Suisui didn't hesitate at all, and happily replied Happy Christmas Eve, and told today He had to eat the apple she gave him. Xu Wei responded dumbfounded. When he turned his head and went back to the classroom, the nervous feeling began to spread all over his body.

He is going to deliver apples to Duan Hefang.

And it was delivered face-to-face, no longer the kind of secret drop-off and departure in the past.

Take it easy, take it easy, just like when you gave it to Xue Mo just now, just say happy Christmas Eve and leave.

Xu Wei walked slowly, and he pissed himself off for a long time. Finally, when the class was almost over, he reluctantly walked into the classroom, but as soon as he entered the classroom, he met Duan Hefang's eyes. After walking slowly, he smiled shyly, walked up to Duan Hefang, and handed him the apple. Even though he felt that his smiling muscles were going to be stiff and congested, Xu Wei still rehearsed the whole rehearsal many times The words came out smoothly: "Duan Hefang, happy Christmas Eve."

But eight words, Xu Wei feels that it has included the words hidden in his heart every time he secretly delivered something to Duan Hefang, such as remember to eat breakfast, drink a bottle of soda when it is too hot after gym class, Remember to put a band-aid on the wound, good morning, the weather is fine today, suitable for eating sugar...

Duan Hefang smiled lightly: "Thank you, happy Christmas Eve."

The joy spreading from the apex of his heart was about to overwhelm the rationality of Xu Wei's brain, he bent his eyes uncontrollably, and looked at Duan Hefang with a smirk.

Suddenly a girl squeezed over and put the apple on Duan Hefang's table: "Happy Christmas Eve!"

Before Xu Wei had time to identify the girl, he was squeezed and staggered. He looked over with some annoyance, and saw Duan Hefang gently pushed her apple away and said, "Thank you, happy Christmas Eve, but I can't eat so much, you just keep it for yourself."

He put only five or six apples on the table. He probably declined all the apples that the girls sent face to face. Duan Hefang doesn't speak harsh words, but in fact his intention of rejection is hidden in his words every time. It just takes a little care to feel it.

Xu Wei quietly bent his lips and returned to his seat.

There were three apples lying neatly on the table, among which there was a piece of paper under the one that I hadn't had time to look at just now. On it was Xu Wei's familiar and elegant handwriting, which read:

Xu Wei, happy Christmas Eve.
