There was a narrow path among the roses. Shen Jialan walked along the path, and when he looked up, he saw the suan bathed in moonlight and light snow.

Standing in the light and shadow, Zhuo Qian couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel his smile.

Holding a six-inch birthday cake in both hands, his voice was full of smiles: "Shen Jialan, happy birthday."

Shen Jialan paused for a moment, then quickened his pace.

At this moment, he seemed to be walking on cotton, his feet were so soft, and his steps were so light.

He used to feel that his heart was empty, like a black hole, which could not be filled no matter what, but now looking at Zhuo Qian's figure immersed in the night, he suddenly became a traveler with a way back. He knew where his heart was going, He knows where he should go.

More importantly - it seemed that something filled his heart.

He has never experienced such a feeling of fullness, and the loneliness that once accompanied him is far away from him at this moment.

Shen Jialan walked over in three steps at a time. He wanted to hug Zhuo Qian fiercely, but considering that Zhuo Qian was holding a cake in his hand, he had no choice but to lean forward and kiss Zhuo Qian's lips.

Zhuo Qian raised his head obediently, and awkwardly responded to Shen Jialan's rude and violent kiss.

It wasn't until Zhuo Qian was breathless from the kiss that Shen Jialan let him go, slowly opened the distance, and wiped Zhuo Qian's mouth with his thumb.

When Zhuo Qian realized that what Shen Jialan wiped off was his saliva, his cheeks blushed.

His hands holding the cake couldn't help shaking, and then he passed it in Shen Jialan's direction pretending to be calm, and he said with some annoyance: "The wind is too strong here, and the candle is blown out."

Shen Jialan looked down, and sure enough, he saw two extinguished candles stuck on the cake. The small and exquisite candles were marked with two numbers "1" and "8".

"But it doesn't matter." Zhuo Qian said, turning his lower body slightly, "I have a lighter in my pocket, you can light the candle yourself."

Shen Jialan smiled and said, "Okay."

It was already cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the wind on the grassy slope never stopped blowing.

Even though Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan were wearing thick clothes, they were still shivering from the cold wind.

At first they were able to persist for a while, but later they had difficulty even persisting. They shivered, lighting candles, making a wish, blowing out candles, and quickly went through the process.

The roses under their feet are also messy in the wind.

These roses were specially bought by Zhuo Qian, he bought Zhuo Fei with Shi Henghao's chocolate, and let Zhuo Fei watch a few aunts insert these roses one by one on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve into the grass.

Since Shen Jialan wanted roses, he tried his best to give as many roses as he could.

The romantic scene he had expected would end in such an embarrassing way. His nose was blown out by the cold wind, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Then, the two chatted for a while.

Shen Jialan couldn't bear to say: "Shall we go back?"

Zhuo Qian sniffed: "Where is this cake?"

Shen Jialan asked him: "Do you want to eat?"

Zhuo Qian shook his head, he wasn't very interested in sweets, he was so full for dinner, now that the cold wind was blowing again, he couldn't eat anything.

"I don't want to eat it either." Shen Jialan said confidently, "Leave it to your cousin."

So the birthday cake carefully prepared by Zhuo Qian was used as a prop, and then handed over to Zhuo Fei intact.

Zhuo Fei: "..."

Holding the birthday cake, she looked at the backs of Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan running back in a hurry, and suddenly fell into doubt.

What is her cousin doing?It’s okay to engage in outdoor romance without looking at the weather, and just leave the roses and cakes that took so much effort to prepare?This is all white money!

Back home, both Zhou Wenya and Zhuo Jungui went back to their room, only Zhuo Rui who didn't know when finished the phone call was sitting on the sofa, when he heard the door open, he looked up.

"It's so late, where did you go?"

Zhuo Qian sniffed and said tremblingly: "Go out for a stroll."

"Go shopping?" Zhuo Rui obviously didn't believe his words.

The relatives who live here are very old and new years old now, and the only ones left behind are people gathered in a small square far away from here and fireworks are set off.

In contrast, the flavor of the New Year here is almost nonexistent.

In this situation, where can Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan go shopping?

"It's just a random walk around the neighborhood..." Zhuo Qian wanted to explain, but was pulled back by Shen Jialan.

Shen Jialan raised his chin, and said to Zhuo Rui in a calm tone: "Happy New Year, you can do your own work and leave us alone."

Zhuo Rui's complexion is very ugly.

"Oh, that's right." Shen Jialan said again, "Your sister is still outside, she doesn't seem to have a key with her, remember to leave the door for her."

After finishing speaking, Shen Jialan took Zhuo Qian to Zhuo Qian's bedroom.

They walked quickly, and by the time Zhuo Rui realized it, Shen Jialan had pulled Zhuo Qian back to the bedroom and locked the door behind him.

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door and Zhuo Rui's angry voice: "Zhuo Qian, open the door!"

Shen Jialan was worried that Zhuo Qian would turn around and open the door, so he pressed Zhuo Qian onto the bed without saying a word. He pressed Zhuo Qian's hands on both sides of his head, and pushed Zhuo Qian's legs away with his knees kneeling on the bed.

Zhuo Qian seemed to be frightened by Shen Jialan's actions, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at Shen Jialan who was pressing above him.

The incandescent light overhead shone on Shen Jialan, casting a shadow that almost enveloped Zhuo Qian.

Zhuo Qian felt like the whole body was full of bad breath, and even the tip of his nose was filled with the pleasant smell of Shen Jialan.

At the same time, the knocking on the door continued, even alarming Zhou Wenya and Zhuo Jungui who were about to rest.

Zhou Wenya came out and told Zhuo Rui.

Hearing that Zhuo Rui was deflated outside, Shen Jialan buried his face in Zhuo Qian's neck and kept laughing, complaining: "Your cousin is so annoying!

Zhuo Qian felt the heat sprayed on his skin by Shen Jialan when he spoke, and his body became stiff again, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Zhuo Rui's character is a bit weird, but he has no bad intentions, and He was nice to me too."

Shen Jialan hummed: "I can see it."

Otherwise, Zhuo Rui would not guard him like a thief, Zhuo Rui seemed to be afraid that he would kidnap Zhuo Qian, and would walk between him and Zhuo Qian when he went to the supermarket.

Thinking of Zhuo Rui's deliberate mess these two days, Shen Jialan was extremely depressed, he opened his mouth and bit Zhuo Qian's neck lightly, and said, "Did your cousin guess our relationship?"

Zhuo Qian said, "Maybe."

Shen Jialan paused before saying, "Do you mind letting him know?"

Zhuo Qian said: "He will know sooner or later, but he doesn't seem to be able to accept it now. Before he pierces the window paper first, I want to keep the status quo."

He stroked Shen Jialan's hair, "Is it okay?"

"You have the final say." Shen Jialan finished talking dully, then changed the subject, "By the way, I'm an adult."

Zhuo Qian said, "Yes."

Shen Jialan bit his neck again: "I said I'm an adult."

After finishing speaking, he pushed up with his knees.

Zhuo Qian shook violently, and subconsciously wanted to curl up his body, but Shen Jialan pressed his hands tightly, and he begged for mercy: "Don't, don't do this, I'm not yet an adult, brother!"

Shen Jialan didn't care, and rubbed against him like a big golden retriever, biting his cheek for a while, and kissing his mouth for a while, with obvious irritability in his rude movements.

Zhuo Qian had no choice but to follow Shen Jialan's hair again and again.

Shen Jialan hugged him for a long time, and finally hugged his waist and said, "Let's sleep together tonight."

Zhuo Qian held Shen Jialan's cheeks in both hands, met Shen Jialan's expectant eyes, he laughed and said: "If I meet my cousin when I go out later, he will definitely not allow me to sleep with you."

Shen Jialan frowned: "Then don't go out."

Zhuo Qian asked: "Don't you wash up?"

"I won't wash up anymore." Shen Jialan was about to take off Zhuo Qian's clothes, "Just sleep like this."

Zhuo Qian was a little ticklish at first, but when Shen Jialan tossed him down like this, he giggled and struggled desperately, and almost fell off the bed as a result, but fortunately, Shen Jialan caught him back with quick eyesight and hands.

The bed was small and of poor quality. Two big boys pulled on the bed, making the bed creak and creak.

Listening to the sound, Zhuo Qian couldn't help but see some discordant pictures in his mind, and suddenly felt his cheeks were hot, and the temperature of his breathing was also rising steadily.

He raised his hand to push Shen Jialan: "Okay, don't take off your clothes in a hurry, we will go out to wash after they fall asleep."

Shen Jialan let go, and although he didn't mess with his clothes, he still hugged his waist, muttering unhappily: "I don't want to wash up."

Zhuo Qian was so overwhelmed by Shen Jialan that he couldn't breathe. He put his hands on Shen Jialan's back to feel better. He touched Shen Jialan's back: "Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Shen Jialan suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhuo Qian with burning eyes.

Zhuo Qian instantly guessed something.

Sure enough, Shen Jialan's next words were: "I want you to grow up soon."

Zhuo Qian: "..."

Hey, teenagers are really hard to deal with.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Zhuo Qian quietly took the reluctant Shen Jialan out to wash up.

I don't know if Zhuo Rui has already fallen asleep, until Zhuo Qian dragged Shen Jialan back after washing up like a thief, Zhuo Rui never appeared again.

Two beds with a height of less than 1.5 meters are really not enough, especially Shen Jialan hugs Zhuo Qian with hands and feet, and squeezes him into the bed from time to time.

Squeezing and squeezing, Zhuo Qian felt something was wrong.

"Shen Jialan!" Zhuo Qian said with a suppressed voice, "Don't squeeze me, you, you..."

The roots of his ears were hot, and he couldn't speak the rest of the words.

Shen Jialan hugged him tightly, Shen Jialan's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, but he could hear the pitiful tone in his voice: "I feel so sad."

Zhuo Qian: "..."

Shen Jialan rubbed against him.

Zhuo Qian sighed: "The uncomfortable one is the one who suffers the most.

Russily busy for nearly two hours, by the time Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan finished cleaning up, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

Zhuo Qian got under the covers, pecked Shen Jialan's mouth, like coaxing a child: "Good boy, go to sleep."

Zhuo Qian was really tired and had a headache from the cold wind, so he fell asleep not long after.

When Zhuo Qian opened his eyes again, the window was brightly lit, and brilliant sunlight came in from the half-opened window.

Zhuo Qian stretched out his hands and groped around for a while, but found nothing, and the bed was a bit cold.

He froze for a moment, then woke up suddenly, only to realize that Shen Jialan, who was sleeping next to him, was no longer there.

Although he knew that Shen Jialan would not run around, Zhuo Qian still got dressed in a panic, and when he rushed out, he saw Zhuo Fei sitting in front of the sofa eating chocolate with a numb expression.

"Where's Shen Jialan?"

"Outside." Zhuo Fei's cheeks were bulging, and he said inarticulately, "Stay on the grassy slope last night."

Zhuo Qian ran out immediately.

The daytime in winter is not much warmer than the nighttime, even if the sun is out, the wind with snowflakes still blows Zhuoqian's cheek sorely.

But during the daytime, the community is much more lively, with many groups of children playing and laughing on the road.

Zhuo Qian walked straight towards the grassy slope behind the community, and before he got any closer, he saw several seven or eight-year-old children guarding them from afar.

"Big brother, just give us a flower, okay?"

"These flowers are beautiful!"

"Brother, brother, we want flowers too, so brother give us flowers."

It was three very cute little girls who were talking, they surrounded Shen Jialan into a group, even one little girl hugged Shen Jialan's leg and refused to let go, she raised her head and acted like a spoiled child: "Big brother, how about you?"

Shen Jialan kept a straight face, unmoved at all: "Not good."

The little girl pursed her mouth, as if she was about to cry or not.

Zhuo Qian walked over, looked at the three little girls surrounding Shen Jialan, and at the remaining children who were staring eagerly at this side, and asked Shen Jialan amusedly: "What happened?"

Shen Jialan turned his head and saw Zhuo Qian. In an instant, his ferocious expression like the king of hell was full of grievances. He stood among the three little girls, like a big child who was bullied.

"They want to grab my roses." Shen Jialan complained to Zhuo Qian, "If I don't give them, they will cry."

Zhuo Qian stepped forward and took Shen Jialan's hand, and pulled Shen Jialan out of the circle surrounded by the three little girls. He said: "There are so many roses, it's okay to give them a few."

Shen Jialan resolutely refused: "I don't want it."

Then Zhuo Qian coaxed Shen Jialan to give in reluctantly, agreeing that Zhuo Qian would send these children every day.

In the end, Shen Jialan did not forget to emphasize that every hut should not take any wild lettuces.

Zhuo Qian said helplessly.

When the children got the roses, their expressions that were sad a second ago suddenly became happy. They said thank you brother sweetly, and ran away together.

Zhuo Qian looked at the figures of the children running away with a fatherly face, and said to Shen Jialan, "They are so cute."

Shen Jialan curled her lips: "Where is it cute? You just know that I want roses, a bunch of brats."

Zhuo Qian couldn't help but speak for those children: "They were just twisting you, without your permission, they didn't even touch those roses."

Shen Jialan was silent for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Zhuo Qian's chin, forcing Zhuo Qian to look back at him.

Zhuo Qian looked at Shen Jialan who was frowning inexplicably.

Shen Jialan asked solemnly: "Do you like children very much?"

Zhuo Qian thought for a while: "It's okay."

He doesn't like all children, he only likes cute and well-behaved children.

Who would have thought that these two words seemed to hit Shen Jialan at a certain point, his eyes suddenly became fierce, he fixed Zhuo Qian's face with both hands, and said in a rough voice: "With me, Don't want children in your life, I won't let you have children."

Without waiting for Zhuo Qian to respond, he added, "I don't want children either."

Zhuo Qian was stunned, his mouth slightly opened.

Seeing that Zhuo Qian didn't speak, Shen Jialan thought Zhuo Qian regretted it, and immediately became anxious: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it..." Zhuo Qian grabbed his hand and comforted him, "I don't plan to have a child, even if I want a child, I will adopt it in an orphanage."

Shen Jialan emphasized: "You are not allowed to give birth by yourself."

Zhuo Qian was very innocent: "I don't think I can give birth to myself."

"..." Shen Jialan's gaze uncontrollably moved to Zhuo Qian's stomach.

Zhuo Qian was afraid that Shen Jialan would think about something he shouldn't have in his little head, so he hastily stepped forward and covered Shen Jialan's eyes.

After turning Shen Jialan's head in the other direction, Zhuo Qian let go of his hand, looked at the roses all over the ground and worried: "What should we do with these roses? It's better to let those children take them away."

It's just a pity that he spent the money for buying roses and the manual fee for his aunt to arrange the roses. Not to mention the income from his part-time job a while ago, he also used his savings to subsidize a lot.

Zhuo Qian was heartbroken at the thought of getting rid of all the roses.

Then, just halfway through his heart wrenching, he heard the sound of a car approaching.

Looking for the sound, I saw four vans coming, followed by a bunch of spectators. A total of six vans got off the van. After greeting Shen Jialan, he began to clean up the roses on the ground.

Zhuo Qian was a little confused: "What are they doing?"

"Take away the roses." Shen Jialan replied, "The gift you gave me, I will take it home and keep it properly."

Zhuo Qian originally wanted to say that these roses might not last long after going through such ups and downs, but seeing Shen Jialan's high spirits, he swallowed his words anyway.

But soon, he remembered something again: "What time did you wake up?"

Shen Jialan ignored Zhuo Qian, pretending to be very serious about supervising those poor people.

"Shen Jialan!" Zhuo Qian realized something, and said angrily, "What time did you wake up?"

Shen Jialan knew that he couldn't avoid Zhuo Qian's question, so he answered vaguely: "Just in the morning."

"How early?"

"It's not dawn yet."

Zhuo Qian took a deep breath: "What time is it?"

"It seems to be..." Shen Jialan dragged his tone, seeing Zhuo Qian's look of not giving up until he got an answer, he had to say, "Five o'clock."

Zhuo Qian: "..."

In other words, as soon as he fell asleep, Shen Jialan got up and went out, no wonder these roses were not touched by the rice, it turned out that Shen Jialan came to guard them before dawn.

"Shen Jialan, are you crazy? It's winter, not summer, and it's still snowing!" Zhuo Qian said angrily, he didn't know how Shen Jialan managed to stay outdoors in the winter until now, not afraid of being frozen. ?

Facing Zhuo Qian's accusation, Shen Jialan, who was always arrogant, actually lowered his head in aggrieved manner, didn't speak, just bit his lip.

Zhuo Qian went to touch Shen Jialan's face, it was really cold

For a while, Zhuo Qian was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he wanted to scold Shen Jialan severely, but seeing Shen Jialan's blue lips from the cold, he was too soft-hearted to speak harsh words.

In the end, Zhuo Qian sighed, and said: "Don't do such stupid things again, it's just roses, if you don't have them, I'll buy them for you."

Those delicacies were thrown into the van and left, Zhuo Qian hurriedly dragged Shen Jialan home.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Wenya and Zhuo Jungui started to get busy again, and there were only a few children left at home.

With Zhuo Rui staring at him every step of the way, Zhuo Qian didn't find any chance to go to Shen Jialan's house, so in desperation, he could only coax Shen Jialan to send over his fake homework in a hurry.

In this way, Shen Jialan lived in Zhuo Qian's house, but Zhuo Qian didn't sleep with Shen Jialan every night, it depends on whether Shen Jialan succeeded in snatching Suan from Zhuo Rui's hand.

A week has passed, the relationship between Shen Jialan and Zhuo Rui has developed to the point where they hate each other.

Shen Jialan just wanted to avoid Zhuo Rui, but Zhuo Rui didn't want to do what he wanted, not only followed him and Zhuo Qian everywhere, but also often deliberately walked between him and Zhuo Qian.

Zhuo Qian, who was caught in the middle, was also very uncomfortable. He was biased towards Shen Jialan in his heart, but no matter how many times he explained to Zhuo Rui in private, Zhuo Rui would not give in.

After a long time, Zhuo Qian could only turn a blind eye, and finally hid Zhuo Rui with Shen Jialan.

In the blink of an eye, the winter vacation was coming to an end, Zhuo Qian bought movie tickets to go to the movies with Shen Jialan, considering that Zhuo Rui and Zhuo Fei were also at home, he bought the movie tickets for the brother and sister together.

Of course, Shen Jialan's money was spent on buying movie tickets.

Ever since Zhuo Qian spent all the money he earned from his part-time job on buying roses and arranging roses, he, who was poor, decided to concentrate on eating Shen Jialan's soft food in the future.

Anyway, Shen Jialan was also very happy.

For Zhuo Qian's initiative to invite him to watch a movie, Zhuo Rui was surprised for a long time, even slightly surprised, he thought that his hard work for so many days had finally paid off, Zhuo Qian finally figured it out.

As a result, when he came to the cinema, Zhuo Rui was stunned, he looked down at the movie ticket that Zhuo Qian handed him, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It was Zhuo Fei who hurriedly took the two movie tickets belonging to her and Zhuo Rui, and happily said thank you.

Zhuo Qian was too humble to look into Zhuo Rui's eyes, and said quickly: "The end times of these two movies are about the same, you are only 5 minutes ahead of us, just wait for us outside after the end."

"Okay." Zhuo Fei put the movie ticket into her pocket, holding the popcorn bucket in one hand and the Coke in the other, and said with a smile, "Thank you brother for buying the popcorn and Coke."

Zhuo Qian waved his hand: "You're welcome." Just look after your brother.

After finishing speaking, he dragged Shen Jialan away quickly.

There was a fire in Zhuo Rui's heart, until he and Zhuo Fei sat in the theater, the fire still didn't subside, but it tended to burn more and more.

The movie started to show, the lights in the theater went out, everything around was plunged into darkness, only the white screen light fell on Zhuo Rui's face, faintly visible.

The voice of the movie narration rang in my ear, but Zhuo Rui couldn't hear a word.

For some reason, his thoughts became clearer than before.

He recalled over and over again the details of how Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan got along, and he realized that he was really a fool, Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan never meant to hide anything, but he kept deceiving himself that Zhuo Qian and Shen Jialan just had a good relationship. Live in proportion.

Thinking about it now, they clearly have that kind of relationship, they have already shown it so clearly.

What about catkins?

What happened to catkins?

And about Liu Xu and him...

The anger in Zhuo Rui's heart suddenly turned into an impulse, he didn't want to hesitate anymore, wandering around, from childhood to adulthood, except for the little thought for Du Xuejia, he hardly hid anything on his mind.

What happened during this period made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't know that he was so suffocating before.

But he didn't want to hold back any longer.

Zhuo Fei, who was concentrating on watching a movie, was taken aback by Zhuo Rui who got up suddenly, and quickly asked, "Are you going out?"

Zhuo Rui said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Zhuo Fei let out a cry, and quickly turned her body to make way for Zhuo Rui.

Zhuo Rui walked out of the theater, and sent a WeChat message to Zhuo Qian, saying that there was something important to ask Zhuo Qian to come out, after sending the message, he went to the bathroom.

There was only one Xiang Gaodi in the bathroom, Zheng heard Zhuo Rui's footsteps, and that one didn't raise his head.

Even though he could only see the rotten falcon, Zhuo Rui still poked that rotten falcon at a glance.

Catkins? !
