When Chen Aowen pinched the video and returned to the living room, the special Christmas program on TV had already kicked off.

The host stood on the colorful stage and gagged, and the light and shadow projected on the walls of the entire living room.Song Xuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bag of snacks in his hand while watching and eating, looking focused and well-behaved.

Walking to the side of the sofa, Chen Aowen glanced down at the seat where he was sitting before, and when he sat down again, he intentionally got closer to Song Xuan.

Song Xuan didn't show any resistance to his closeness, and pushed the snacks in his hand towards Chen Aowen's hand, saying, "Let's eat some together."

Chen Aowen took two biscuits from it.

After hanging up the video call and coming back, the two of them didn't talk for a while, only the sound of the TV set was heard in this space, and the noise of the transitional period after the show ended, which made the place extraordinarily quiet.

Chen Aowen's thoughts were still on the phone call his parents had just made to him. Song Xuan who was beside him suddenly raised his hand and scratched the center of his brows, and asked, "That... I didn't ask you before, why didn't you come back during the winter vacation?" Home?"

Chen Aowen turned his head and only saw Song Xuan's profile. He was still watching the program on TV, as if this question was just a casual question.

"There's no reason, the winter vacation is short, so I stayed here if I wanted to." After Chen Aowen answered, he thought for a while and added, "Besides, my parents haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's good for them to get along with each other in the world. If you don't join in the fun, if you really want to be by their side, maybe they will still hate me."

Song Xuan said "Oh", and after a 2-minute pause, he felt a bit strange: "Your parents... are still together? Haven't they separated? It's just... I saw you call them before, every time it was Dial separately."

In Song Xuan's impression, they had never been in the same frame.

Chen Aowen smiled: "You don't need to feel offended and want to explain. My parents' situation is very special. They have been separated in two places, but marriage does exist between them. I remember I mentioned it to you before? My mother When I was in high school, she went back to France because of her own career."

Song Xuan nodded, indicating that he still remembered.

Chen Aowen continued: "She majored in astronomy. When she was young, she got a PhD all the way. She has considerable talent and accomplishments in scientific research. It is said that when she graduated, both Paris and Southern California wanted to keep her, but my mother was I’m already with my dad, and my dad majored in aerospace, and he is very determined to return to China. My mother felt that under the same starry sky, it’s the same wherever she studies, so she went to China with my dad.”

"When I was young, she never gave up on her career, but later, she felt that there was a bottleneck - I don't know exactly what difficulties and bottlenecks she encountered. In short, she discussed with my father for a long time. The final result is that she plans to Back to France to do her career. But my parents are still in love, so they are just separated, not divorced, and they get together again during the holidays, the relationship has not changed for so many years."

After finishing speaking, Chen Aowen asked: "Is it difficult to understand?"

Song Xuan said, "Fortunately, after listening to it, I feel that this is actually very close to what I thought in my mind, the most perfect state of a relationship."

Chen Aowen turned his head again, and saw Song Xuan's serious eyes.

He asked: "What state is the most perfect in your opinion?"

Song Xuan: "Purity, trust, and loyalty. Time and space are just concepts that exist in the world. There is no wear and tear or hindrance to feelings. Love each other and love yourself at the same time. Don't blindly sacrifice your pursuit. Good at winning."

Chen Aowen said: "Trust and loyalty are the first things that a pure relationship must have."

Song Xuan: "You think this way because your parents did this. They shaped your attitude towards relationships invisibly, but in fact, many people now treat relationships as a trifle."

When Chen Aowen heard the words, his breath suddenly stopped: "Why do you say that? Have you... met someone who treated your feelings like a joke?"

Just asking this sentence made his heart feel inexplicably sour.

Song Xuan quickly denied it, and waved his hands again and again: "No, I just feel this way when I see some friends around me when they are in love."

Withdrawing his hand, he murmured again: "I've never been in a relationship before..."

The soreness on the apex of his heart gradually faded away, and Chen Aowen took a moment to say tentatively, "Then... have you ever imagined what the person who will be with you in the future will look like?"

Hearing this question, Song Xuan realized that he had never imagined it before.

There is no preset age, personality, appearance, or even gender.

It's like a chaotic gray fog, which can't be grasped or seen through. He has been running hard on the road of his studies and has never set foot here.

But now that Chen Aowen appeared in his life, the fog cleared, and he realized that he already had the answer.

At the moment when Song Xuan was thinking.

Chen Aowen flinched first: "Forget it, don't ask this question, let's watch the show."

As he spoke, he pressed the volume button on the remote control, and the singing voice was amplified multiple times through the Bluetooth speaker, lingering in his ears.

From the corner of Chen Aowen's eyes, he could see Song Xuan propped his head, and his eyes stayed in his direction for a long time, as if he was on the verge of speaking, but he didn't say anything after all.

With his fingernails pinching his palms, Chen Aowen couldn't watch any programs, but felt that Song Xuan had a good sentence.

Parents did influence his attitude towards relationships.

When he first arrived in Paris with his mother, Chen Aowen couldn't understand the separation of his parents. In his eyes at the time, it was no different from divorce.

At that time, Chen Aowen's mother told him that love is not the only thing in life, and sometimes watching from a long distance may be the best way to maintain a relationship.

Therefore, he was always conflicted when facing Song Xuan.

I'll do my best to get closer to Song Xuan, but I've always been more rational and restrained.

He was afraid that the status quo was like a mirror. After it was broken, it would be full of silver fragments and could never be restored. At that time, they might not even be able to be roommates.

Chen Aowen didn't dare to take the initiative to open it, and he didn't dare to let Song Xuan push the door in his heart.

After Christmas comes New Years.

In November, Song Xuan's family sent him a few packs of hot pot ingredients. He informed the band that the three of them would enjoy it together during the winter vacation, and later invited three other classmates who had a good relationship.

There were a total of eight people for this dinner, and they chose the New Year's Eve night in the United States. The place was set in the big house rented by Song Xuan and Chen Aowen. The dining table was big enough and the place was spacious.

In the evening, the remaining six people arrived one after another.

It's a group gathering, not a feast, so everyone brings food and reheats it in the kitchen to share in the evening.

The hot pot is steaming hot, fish balls, beef slices and washed lettuce leaves are rinsed back and forth in the red soup, dipped in the seasoning and then dropped into the mouth, the decorations on the walls and corners of the living room have long been replaced by Song Xuan in fiery red colors, Baking out the room is full of New Year flavor.

After a lively meal, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Because of the time difference, the time in China is actually the first day of the new year. Song Xuan sent a happy new year message to his parents at noon, but for him, the new year has not yet come, and keeping up with the new year needs to be done at night. Match, so he called up the Chinese International Channel to replay the Spring Festival Gala.

There was nothing to watch in the Spring Festival Gala. The singing and dancing sound from the TV was just to set off the atmosphere. The people at the dinner table mainly talked about what they saw and had fun during the winter vacation.

Tan Min and Jiang Xiqing are a year older than Song Xuan, and they are juniors this year. They are hurrying up to do internships recently, but the two places for internships are different. Tan Min found them nearby, while Jiang Xiqing went to a place farther away. An advertising company far away, during the meal, she talked about the interesting people she met in the advertising company.

Jiang Xiqing: "The colleagues are very interesting, the atmosphere is very good, they respect the opinions of my little intern, and are willing to tolerate mistakes. It's just..."

She said a little: "In the group I was in, except for me and the big boss who were straight, the other men and women were all curvy. Every time they discussed such a topic, I didn't know what expression to make, what to do. Take the call."

Tan Min laughed hahaha after hearing this: "Why did you encounter such a situation again?"

During Jiang Xiqing's first internship, she also encountered a department where all the members were bent, but she was the only one. At that time, she told the three members of the band, and everyone remembered it vividly.

Song Xuan also agreed with Tan Min: "That is, you should reflect on yourself, is there any strange magnetic field on your body?"

Jiang Xiqing pursed her lips and said, "What do you want to reflect on? I don't have any of you by my side, so it's fine if you don't bend over?"

Tan Min and Luo Ziyang responded to her with a smile.

Sitting beside Song Xuan, Chen Aowen subconsciously looked at him when he heard that sentence, but found that Song Xuan didn't say a word to Jiang Xiqing's joke, and remained silent.
