God is Daozu

"Merry Christmas Mom! Merry Christmas Dad!"

"Aren't you going to the lab today!"

Qiang Ju saw his seven or eight-year-old self running down the stairs in a white sweater. His father, who couldn't see his face clearly, put a red scarf around Qiang Ju's neck. His father scratched Qiang Ju's nose with his fingers. Tangerine recalled this kind of warmth vividly in her dream.

"So this is our first Christmas together? Are you sure you won't go to the lab? Will you stay with me until the end of the day?"

"we will."

Mother poked her head out of the kitchen and replied, it was snowing outside, the fireplace in the living room was on fire, and the cold world melted into this little warmth, Xiao Qiangju knelt on the sofa and looked out the window, the vast expanse, the courtyard There is a Christmas tree planted, and the tree is full of things, red, blue, pink... and orange bells. Little Qiang Tangerine stares at the Christmas tree, and all the colors are reflected in his eyes.

"Will you hang gifts for me on it?"

"You can pick it up at twelve o'clock at night, and Santa Claus will hang gifts for you." Dad said.

Xiao Qiangju turned her head and raised her eyebrows, "I'm not a child, so there's no such thing as Santa Claus."

"As long as you believe, there will be."

"Because you are my Santa Claus, right?" Xiao Qiangju smiled at the man.

There were colorful papers and flannel bags on the table, Xiao Qiangju asked the man, "Daddy, what is this?"

"This is for making a wish."

"Would you like to hang it on a tree?"

"That's right, we can hang it up after dinner tonight, and sit here while Daddy teaches you Christmas carols."

Xiao Qiangju ran across the sofa, sat on the carpet and watched the man decipher the code on the draft paper, the man hummed while writing and drawing, Xiao Qiangju hummed along, and finally the woman couldn't bear it anymore and said to the man , "Look at you, how many languages ​​you mixed in the songs you taught him, his usual speech is enough to be messed up."

"But Dad said that he was like this when he was a child, and Dad's dad also taught him this way."

"You should be called Grandpa," Mom replied.

"Who is grandpa?"

The man and the woman were silent for a while, Xiao Qiangju pursed his lips and took the draft paper in the man's hand and began to decipher it by himself. He used his little silence to express his dissatisfaction with the man and the woman, the man reached out to rub Xiao Qiangju's hair, Xiao Qiangju dodged, and he walked to the other side of the sofa to play with himself, leaving his back for the men and women.

"Who do you think he looks like?" The man suddenly smiled.

"Like who?"

"In the past, they and I were always overtly unwilling to be like my father, and secretly fought over who was more like my father, but none of us really resembled my father, and Xiao Qiang actually resembled my father."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Qiangju looked up annoyed, "Is it something that children can't know?"

Dad gently hugged Xiao Qiangju and turned around, Xiao Qiangju said dissatisfiedly, "Put me back, I seem to have an idea, your trick of coaxing people won't work when I'm six years old!"

Dad put down Xiao Qiang Ju, stretched out his hand to poke Xiao Qiang Ju's frown, "Your grandfather, he is very similar to you."

"Do I look like Grandpa?"

"The temper is very similar."

"Does Grandpa like cryptography?"

"Grandpa is a master."

"Is it better than Dad?"

"Yes."

"Isn't dad the best?"

"Dad is not."

"Then I will be better than grandpa."

The man laughed, "Yes."

"Is Grandpa good at biology?"

"Grandpa doesn't study this aspect."

"That father is even more powerful."

Xiao Qiangju happily got back [-]%, and then bounced and picked up the draft paper and sat on the carpet to continue the calculation. The man stood next to Xiao Qiangju, watched Xiao Qiangju calculate for a while, and then got up to help in the kitchen. After a long time, Xiaoqiang Tachibana cheered and rushed into the kitchen holding the draft paper

"Look, look! I'm better than you! So now I'm as good as grandpa! Grandpa isn't the best anymore!"

The man patted Xiao Qiangju on the head, "You just beat Dad."

"Isn't it just as good as grandpa after defeating dad?"

"Little fool, the three of us are not the only ones in the world who know how to learn cryptography."

"Then where are the others, why haven't I seen others?"

The man and the woman were silent again. Qiang Ju saw her little hand tugging at the man's sleeve, and asked coquettishly, "Then, can Dad bring someone else to show me? What do they look like?"

After getting no response, Xiao Qiangju glanced at the woman and at the man before running away.

When night came, Xiao Qiangju's attention was diverted by the wishing paper. He seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness of the day. He sat on the sofa and wrote a wishing note. The woman laughed, "Little greedy ghost, write so much."

"I don't know what language Santa Claus can understand, so I wrote a lot to make him understand. What did mom write?"

"Don't tell you."

"Ok."

Qiang Ju looked at this lively family with the eyes of the past.

In the middle of the night, he saw his young self counting the clock by the second. When it was twelve o'clock, Xiao Qiangju ran downstairs and opened the door. Snowflakes were falling on his head. He stretched out his little hand, Jumping and bouncing under the tree, he finally took the gift down, and when he was about to go home, Xiao Qiangju stared at the woman's flannel bag and refused to leave.

"I'm sorry, mom, I'll just take a look."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qiangju jumped up and took down the bag, and the beautiful and serious handwriting fell into Qiangju's eyes.

Qiang Ju suddenly woke up at the most beautiful moment and looked at Gao Lan face to face

Gao Lan looked panicked, and Qiang Ju suddenly cried.

A few days before Christmas, the school suddenly notified the sentinels of the mixed campus to temporarily return to the original campus. There is also a blue protective light screen on the wall.

He looked at the blue protective light screen for a long time, it looked like an impassable sign, he didn't care if he couldn't see Daniel for a day or two, in fact they rarely met even in the same campus, it was just such a warm dream After coming, he suddenly felt too lonely, he looked at the protective light screen for a long time, when he turned his head, he found Yu Langran passing him by with a glance.

I will go back to the mixed campus tomorrow, and it will be the same tomorrow.

Qiang Ju comforted himself, scenes from dreams flashed through his mind, snowflakes, Christmas trees, scarves, fireplaces, father, mother...

Everything that is at your fingertips in the dream becomes a dream when you wake up.

Qiang Ju looked at his hand, it was no longer a young hand, now he could take off the present without any effort, but the Christmas tree in the courtyard was gone, he looked at the buildings of Sentinel Campus, this familiar place unexpectedly became strange , How can people go back to their childhood?Qiang Ju stared blankly at her palm, what kind of price can a person exchange for the time she wants most?

He thought about his wish: to grow up quickly and be taller than his parents.

He suddenly felt like a knife was twisted.

He carefully recalled all the things in the dream, like breaking the only biscuit into countless pieces and chewing repeatedly, tasting all the reluctant tastes, such as the pattern on the blanket, which is worth remembering repeatedly when he grows up. He opened his mouth silently, remembering how the man taught him to sing in his mind, and he sang silently in a time and space that no longer blended with the past in accordance with his own memory, singing along with the memory line by line, just like a man standing His is the same as taught him before.

I miss you so much today.

Qiang Ju sent such a message to Daniel, and then never responded to any messages.

Daniel looked at the news on the light screen, and in his hand was a notice of rejection of the pass.

Daniel glanced at Li Simian on the call light screen, and Li Simian asked, "Should I find a way to break the protective light screen?"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Daniel replied.

"But you haven't learned much about information security offense and defense? What can you do? Expect to get a pass today? Just dream, old refrigerator, the school did it on purpose."

"I'll try it myself." Daniel interrupted Li Simian's cursing.

"Who cares about his broken punishment, it's of no use to me."

"I'll do it myself."

Daniel hung up the phone.

Daniel sat in the conference room all afternoon. He tried to break through the defense, but he was frustrated. The sky outside had turned into night. At [-]:[-], Daniel met another person on the way to break through. The people are also attacking, and the speed is very fast. Daniel watched for a long time, and he realized that it seemed that Li Simian was attacking, and the speed was astonishing. Before he had time to remind Li Simian to stop, the protective light screen was broken, and Daniel was stunned. Just grab something and run outside.

After Qiang Ju left the library, she came to the wall again. The winter wind was getting colder and colder. Qiang Ju looked at the protective light screen motionless. There was no moon when Qiang Ju looked up, and there would be no Santa Claus.

He thought of his father's words, of the Christmas presents he had picked.

I want to go back to my childhood, Dad.

I want to go back to my childhood, Mom.

I would give anything, I want to go back to that time.

I miss Christmas trees.

I miss you all.

I want to hug you in my dreams.

Why didn't I hug you a little longer that night?

I really want to give you a hug.

If I could dominate my dreams, I'd want to hold you.

The defensive light screen suddenly shrank, and the blue light screen on the low wall disappeared. Qiang Ju looked at him in surprise. Standing under the wall, he didn't know if this was his illusion or real. After a while, his heart began to beat wildly , random daydreams rushed into his mind, in the dark night outside the wall, he saw Daniel suddenly appear, leaning on the edge of the wall.

He is like a fairy tale to me.

Qiang Ju looked into Daniel's eyes and thought, he forgot what he was going to say, he only remembered that he was wronged, all the grievances crushed him, he woke up crying unexpectedly in the morning, and he could still wash his face in class as if nothing had happened, now he doesn't say a word Looking at Daniel who was half kneeling on the edge of the wall, he felt wronged.

"Today is Christmas, why is there no moon and no stars." He said nonchalantly, and he didn't understand why this trivial matter made him feel wronged.

"Because Santa's carriage is here."

Daniel's soft voice was mixed into the cold night wind, and a wonderful tranquility was blown into Qiang Ju's heart. He looked at Daniel and suddenly became much calmer.

"...Don't come down, don't come down, you will be punished, this is not like your style."

Daniel suddenly looked at Qiang Ju and smiled when he heard the words

"That's my style."

Lu Ye revived in Daniel's blood.

proud and alive

He felt as if he saw the new Daniel, at this very moment.

Qiang Ju saw the red veil floating down towards him, his sight was taken away by the red veil, and the night was blocked by the red veil, and the wish of Rongli's mother came to his mind at this moment.

my favorite child

No matter where the future will go, no matter where you want to be

There will be someone who loves him like I do

May everyone he meets have a tender heart

Even Death can't help but love him

Mom, look.

Qiang Ju watched Daniel lift up a corner of the red veil covering his head, and those blue eyes looked at him.

Your wish has come true.

Qiangju closed her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and accepted Daniel's kiss. Under the red veil, Qiangju leaned her head up against Daniel's arms and felt Daniel's kiss. In the red veil, there was only their breath.

"It turned out that the big-sleeved shirt was for me."

Qiang Ju and Daniel said while bumping their noses.

"I'll put it on for you."

Qiang Ju stretched out her hand, watched Daniel leaning over delicately and gently, and put the red large-sleeved shirt on him. The tenderness passed through Daniel's fingertips into the red gauze. The moment he put it on, Daniel He hugged Qiang Ju from behind and kissed Qiang Ju's side face.

"Carry me on your back." Qiang Ju said.

Daniel indulged and carried Qiang Ju on his back firmly. Qiang Ju hugged Daniel's neck, knocked his chin on Daniel's shoulder, and sang Christmas carols composed of messy languages.

"I sing in so many languages, will Santa understand it?"

"Isn't Santa carrying you?"

Qiangju's heart was hit suddenly, he hugged Daniel's neck for a long time without speaking, and finally said softly

"You are Qiangju's Santa Claus in the future of little Qiangju."

In the light of the street lamp, a fine snow fell, and it fell peacefully. Qiang Ju looked up at the snow. Daniel freed up one hand and put his military cap on Qiang Ju's head. Qiang Ju stretched out his hand to cover Daniel. s hair.

"I won't let the snow fall on your hair." Qiang Ju said.

Daniel smiled, and the distant accommodation area let out a cheer, facing the fine snow in the sky.Qiang Ju and Daniel also laughed when they heard the distant voice.
