Journey to love

On New Year's Eve, Xie Tong and Yang Yunyan joined the New Year's Eve countdown at Wanda Plaza on a whim.At the moment when the new year comes, the crowd is excited and cheering, and the congratulations of "Happy New Year" come and go.Xie Tong and Yang Yunyan looked at each other and smiled, holding each other's warm hands tightly in the crowded crowd, hoping that this holding will last a lifetime, and this one glance will last forever.

During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Xie Tong and Yang Yunyan were invited to participate in the "G City New Year's Day Style" short-distance photography activity organized by Nancheng Tourism Photography Association.They set off on the 1st and came back on the 3rd. Although the time was short, it was enough to walk around.When Xie Tong returned home, the family was having lunch, and Xie's mother asked him to put down his things and come over to eat quickly.

"I've already eaten outside, you guys can eat." Xie Tong planned to go upstairs.

"Come here for a bowl of soup after eating. Today I cooked your favorite three ginseng black chicken." Mother Xie scooped up a bowl of soup and put it on the table.Xie Tong looked at it and hurried back to sit down.

Xie Ying observed Xie Tong's expression, saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and looked in a good mood, so he hesitated and said, "You seem to be going out a lot lately?"

"Ah."

"Are you in love?"

Xie Tong paused while drinking the soup, glanced at Xie Ying, pretended to be nonchalant and said, "No, don't make wild guesses, just hang out with friends."

"Working with you?" Xie Ying continued to ask.

"No." Xie Tong didn't want to say more, he finished the soup in two or three mouthfuls, put down the bowl and said, "I'm done drinking, I'll go up first, you guys eat slowly."

"Just drink one bowl? Mom will serve you another bowl?" Xie's mother asked quickly when he saw him stand up.

"No, you guys can eat." Xie Tong picked up the things and went upstairs.

"But..." Xie's mother wanted to say something else, but Xie's father tapped the table with chopsticks and said, "You eat yours, what are you worrying about? You're not a child anymore!"

"This child has always been in a hurry recently." Xie's mother ignored Xie's father.

Seeing Xie Tong's back going upstairs, Xie Ying was thoughtful.

At the end of another year, Xie Tong has been busy with final exams, semester summaries and many other matters, and rarely sees Yang Yunyan.The school started the winter vacation on the 12th, but the teachers still have to complete various finishing work, and the holiday will not be officially closed until around the 20th.

There was still some time before the new year, Yang Yunyan asked Xie Tong if he had any plans, Xie Tong said that he had signed up for a training class, and the class would last until the 31st.

"It's really hard work to listen to other people's lectures after I have lectured by myself." Yang Yunyan said with emotion.

"No way, in the era of rapid change, knowledge is updated too fast, people learn, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You think it's so easy to be a teacher." Xie Tong said helplessly.

"Well, it's not easy." Yang Yunyan turned around and said, "How about it, hardworking gardener, to reward your hard work, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Speaking of which, they haven't seen each other for several days.

"Okay, come and pick me up if it's convenient for you in the afternoon. I didn't drive here today, and I have some things to move back." Xie Tong said.

After the training class, Xie Tong put on his backpack and went to Qixia Mountain alone to see the white snow and red leaves all over the mountain, while Yang Yunyan couldn't get away because of the many company affairs at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

"Still working overtime in the office?" Xie Tong asked on the phone.

"Well, things are more complicated at the end of the year." Yang Yunyan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "How are you doing over there, are you having fun?"

"It's okay, although the snow is not thick, but the maple leaves are very red and frosty, very beautiful! I really hope you can see it with your own eyes. I took a lot of photos, and I will send you an email when I return to the hotel at night." Xie Tong He also said, "No matter how busy you are at work, don't forget to eat. It's not worth breaking your body!"

"Understood, I'll go after reading this report." Yang Yunyan's mouth curled up slightly, "I can go on vacation on the 8th. When do you plan to return to the nest, this flying goose?"

"I'll go back on the 7th, and I'll call you then."

After returning, Xie Tong made a bookmark from the maple leaves he had picked up from Qixia Mountain and gave it to Yang Yunyan. Upon closer inspection, there were two small figures Xie Tong graffitied on the maple leaf. The bookmarker was very delicately made, and Yang Yunyan liked it very much.

"You just came back here, and I'm leaving here." Yang Yunyan said helplessly as he put away the paper.

"Where to go?"

"Going back to T City for the New Year, the old people always say that the New Year flavor of their hometown in the north is stronger than here. They have already gone back first, and now I am missing."

"It's like this." Xie Tong nodded, "Then when will you come back?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on what the old man wants, but generally it will not exceed the fifth day of the new year." He quietly covered Xie Tong's hand, and said softly: "Why, can't you bear me?"

"Hurry up, the food is getting cold." Xie Tong pulled his hand back in embarrassment.

On New Year's Eve, lights and streamers are decorated everywhere, and relatives and friends gather together.After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xie's mother sat on the sofa and made a New Year's call. Xie Tong took his little nephew out to set off fireworks, and talked with Yang Yunyan on the phone.

"I'm outside the house." Yang Yunyan said, "A bunch of relatives and friends at home are playing mahjong, and there are children running around, making a lot of noise. I'll come out to get some air."

"Isn't it better to be more lively during the Chinese New Year? It's rare to get together like this all year round."

"Well, I'll go in in a while. I just chatted with a few cousins ​​and drank some wine. I'm going to sit with my friends later. I want to chat with you for a while."

"drunk?"

"No, this idea of ​​wine can't put me down." Yang Yunyan smiled, "What are you doing?"

"I'm setting off fireworks with Yu Yu outside." Xie Tong raised his phone while talking, "Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"The sound of fireworks blooming." Xie Tong looked up at the scattered golden light in the night sky, and said regretfully, "It's radiant and colorful, it's really beautiful, but it's too short-lived." Isn't it beautiful? Things are hard to last?Spring flowers are easy to fall, beautiful women are easy to grow old, and the good times are always short, not to mention their relationship that is not recognized by the world...

"What do you think?"

"No." Xie Tong shook his head, amused by his hypocrisy.

"Don't think about it, I'm going in." Yang Yunyan paused, and suddenly said seriously: "Xiaotong...I love you!"

Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said a soft "um".

Yang Yunyan came back from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and just had a two-day break, and then he threw himself into his busy work non-stop. Xie Tong didn't start school until after the Lantern Festival, but he started a painful blind date life.

The mother and sister worked together and took turns helping Xie Tong arrange various blind dates.He rejected everything that could be rejected, and went through the motions if he couldn't.Fortunately, the girls he met were relatively reserved, and they would not actively pester him when they saw that he had no intention of continuing to develop.Seeing that so many blind dates had no results, Xie's mother kept saying that Xie Tong should not be too high-sighted, but her sister Xie Ying didn't say much.

Yang Yunyan was also quite depressed about this matter. On the one hand, he was very upset that the unnecessary blind date took up their precious dating time.On the other hand, he actually had a faint uneasiness in his heart, worried that Xie Tong would meet a woman who would shake his heart, or be passionate and entangled.

"Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, or let's just have a showdown." Yang Yunyan said half-jokingly.

"The consequences are disastrous." Xie Tong said helplessly, "Now is not the time."

"I know, just kidding, it will be fine when school starts after a while."

As Yang Yunyan said, Xie Tong's painful blind date life finally came to an end after school started.But recently, Xie Ying's behavior is a bit abnormal. She always asks things in a roundabout way, and she was found looking through the things in Xie Tong's room a few times. Xie Tong couldn't help wondering if she knew something, a little frightened .It is really inconvenient to live at home under such circumstances, thinking of Yang Yunyan's proposal to let him move out, maybe it's time to think about it.

After telling Yang Yunyan about this idea, Yang Yunyan was very happy, and quickly asked him what else he needed so that he could buy it himself.Xie Tong's family didn't understand when they heard it, and they were unanimously opposed, but Xie Tong insisted on their own opinion, saying that they moved to live closer to the school, and they would come back often. They had no choice but to compromise.

So, on a spring morning in March, Xie Tong officially moved in to live with Yang Yunyan.Although few people come to Yang Yunyan's apartment, just in case, they still put a bed and a wardrobe in the study room, and use it as usual.
