Warm and respectful people

The closer to the New Year, the colder it gets.There have been several snowfalls in Nancheng this winter.

Xia Wen didn't return the house she rented before, but she lived in Shen Xueyu's apartment most of the time.

One week before the new year, Nancheng University began its winter vacation. Shen Xueyu's original plan was to visit her grandpa and grandma in the United States. Not only was it a personal matter, but there were also many work-related things waiting for her to do when she returned home.

Xia Wen helped her pack her luggage, dragged out the suitcase, and took out the winter clothes from the cabinet, almost all of which were black and gray coats.The floor heating was turned on in the bedroom, and Xia Wen was wearing a thin sweater and sitting on the carpet folding clothes.

Shen Xueyu put the folder full of her own documents into the box. She stood up, Xia Wen's black hair was tied behind her head, and there was a plush cartoon clip clip on it. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she touched Xia Wen Wen's head.

"Would you like to come with me?"

Xia Wen stopped moving, turned to look at Shen Xueyu: "Are you sincerely inviting me over?"

Going to the United States to meet her closest family members is a big or small thing. When Shen Xueyu said this, her voice was very weak. Xia Wen was a little unsure of what she meant, or she wanted to confirm it again The attitude of the other party.

Shen Xueyu nodded: "Sincerely."

Xia Wen was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face. She put the clothes in her hand into the box, and then zipped it up.

"I don't feel relieved that my father is alone at home. I have to accompany him back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year."

Shen Xueyu knew Xia Wen's difficulties, so she didn't force her, but just pulled Xia Wen into her arms.

Xia Wen looked up at her in her arms: "Will you come back in time for the New Year?" In fact, she knew that this possibility was unlikely, but she still couldn't help asking.

Shen Xueyu touched her face with her lips: "I'll hurry back." After a pause, she continued, "I can't live without you."

Xia Wen was dizzy from the sudden love words, and Shen Xueyu, who usually seemed to give up on love, would always make people feel a little helpless when he talked about love.

She opened the distance between the two of them a little, and poked her shoulder: "Haven't you heard that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed?"

Shen Xueyu grabbed her fingers and held them in the palm of her hand: "I like newlyweds, not Xiaobie."

Xia Wen's face turned red again.

-

A day or two before the Chinese New Year, Xia Wen and the others started their vacation, and on the first day Shen Xueyu left, Xia Wen went home to live.

At night when he was about to go to bed, Xia Wen took out an extra quilt from the cabinet and carried it to Xia Yuan's room. The house in the teacher's community was relatively old, and the air conditioner was not working at all. Xia Wen was worried that Xia Yuan would get cold.

When she opened the door and entered, Xia Yuan was leaning on the recliner beside him, wearing glasses and looking at his phone intently.

Xia Wen spread out the quilt on the bed, and asked Xia Yuan while laying it out: "Dad, how about buying you an electric blanket?"

Xia Yuan shook his head when he heard it: "I'm not used to it, you spend less money to buy these impractical things." While speaking, he didn't take his eyes off the phone interface in front of him.

What is so interesting to watch?Xia Wen remembered that Xia Yuan didn't like to watch those short TV series.

After spreading the quilt, Xia Wen walked around the bed, walked over to Xia Yuan's cell phone, and took a look.

There are a few words written at the top of the video, Kou enjoys academics, which seems to be an academic platform in a certain professional field.Xia Wen looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere recently.

At the moment in the video is a ppt with a series of formulas on it.

Xia Wen frowned and asked, "Dad, you said you are retired, and you still study so late?"

Xia Yuan still watched it with great interest: "This is the International Conference on Quantum and Optics, and some of the top scholars at home and abroad are talking about their latest scientific research achievements."

Probably because she likes to watch some TV dramas and variety shows, Xia Wen thought, when she was about to go out, she suddenly heard Xia Yuan say something again.

"In the afternoon, Shen Xueyu gave a report on it, and it was very good, and the comments were all praises for her."

Xia Wen, who was about to go out, was stunned for a moment. For some reason, Shen Xueyu was mentioned suddenly, which always felt a little weird.

She turned around: "Really? Is she so powerful?"

Xia Yuan's eyes briefly left the mobile phone video, looked at Xia Wen from a distance for a while, and then fell back: "There are indeed few people as outstanding as her now."

After returning to his room, Xia Wen's mobile phone showed a missed voice call from Shen Xueyu.

After closing the door, Xia Wen lay down on the bed and dialed the phone back.

Shen Xueyu answered quickly, as if she had been waiting by the side.It happened to be morning on her side.

The two casually chatted about the weather and what they had done in the past two days. After the trivial daily chat, Xia Wen suddenly lowered his voice.

"do you know?"

Shen Xueyu was taken aback by Xia Wen's tone, and became nervous: "What's wrong?" She was not by Xia Wen's side, and she was always afraid that if something happened to the other party, she would not be able to go back in time.

"Our house's sound insulation is not good. My dad may have heard us chatting in the house these two days."

Shen Xueyu laughed: "So?"

Xia Wen wept with a mournful face: "He has caught so many puppy loves in his life, and he will be able to see the tricks between the two of us."

"But the two of us have already grown up." Shen Xueyu couldn't laugh or cry, "Besides, Wen Wen, can't I still have a status?"

When it came to the latter, Shen Xueyu's tone was obviously much lower, and she looked a little aggrieved.

Xia Wen rolled the quilt on the bed, half of her face was covered by the quilt, her face slowly turned red: "Give me some more time."

Shen Xueyu, with earphones in her ears, was replying to emails, her fingers on the keyboard froze: "Wen Wen, what you are saying now is really like a scumbag."

-

On the day before New Year's Eve, Xia Wen and Xia Yuan returned to their hometown in the outskirts of the county seat. Before they reached the door, they heard lively noises from a distance.

When Xia Wen was pulled in by relatives, he glanced at the villa next door. The door was closed and the yard was very clean. Someone should have been cleaning it all the time, but it still looked lonely, especially against the background of several nearby houses. .

When eating that day, Xia Wen received a text message from Xu Fengmian. She thought it would be a copied and pasted greeting, but it was not.

In the joyous and lively atmosphere, a message from Xu Fengmian made Xia Wen's heart a little cold.

"I sold that painting for a good price. I originally thought of sharing it with you, but now let's forget it and give it all to you. It's my share of money for you. Don't thank me too much."

Xia Wen immediately called her, but only heard the message that the other party had turned off the phone, and she was so angry that she wanted to smash the phone.

The sky darkened at night, and the air in the suburbs was very good. On a sunny night, you could actually see a few scattered stars in the sky.

Another group of children bought small fireworks from a supermarket not far away and gathered in the yard to play.

A small bunch of sparkling fireworks looks extremely gorgeous in the dark night.

Xia Wen, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, propped his chin and looked out the door in a daze.Most of the cousins ​​who grew up with her are married and start businesses, and the topics of discussion are almost her own work and children.

She was not interested in interjecting, and while everyone was chatting happily, she happened to reply to the congratulatory text messages forwarded by friends and colleagues.

Most of the replies were copy and pasted, just changing the title. When she was bored, she sent the copied polite words to Shen Xueyu.

"The new year is coming, I wish Mr. Shen good health and family happiness and everything goes well." Followed by a bunch of festive emoticons.

After a few minutes, the other party's message came back.

"Wen Wen, another new year belongs to us, safe and happy."

The phone jumped into a few more blessing text messages. Xia Wen looked at Shen Xueyu's reply and huddled in the corner of the sofa, with the knuckles of her fingers pressed against her lips, the phone seemed to be hot.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, some old people had already gone back to their rooms to sleep, but the young people were still unsatisfied. The children had already ran out of the yard and started arguing with a group of children in the square in the community.

Xia Yuan told Xia Wen to go over and watch. Xia Wen just wanted to go out to get some air, so he went out wrapped in a big scarf.

The flat concrete floor is covered with cold moonlight, and the cold wind blows in, making the face painful.

Not far away, the children's laughter became more and more obvious.As soon as Xia Wen approached and was about to shout at those naughty children, he saw an oncoming car.

The car just turned a corner, and the headlights were on, so bright in the dim environment that she couldn't help but block it with her arms.

When the light dimmed, the two saw each other through the night and the car glass.

Xia Wen didn't expect Shen Xueyu to rush back tonight.She knew that it was difficult to buy air tickets for these two days, and there were so many people. When the two of them were chatting yesterday, she was still attending an academic conference in Phoenix.

She thought that the suitcase she helped Shen Xueyu pack about years ago might still be in her car.

In just a few tens of seconds, Xia Wen actually quickly calculated the mileage and time of flying back from the United States and driving from Nancheng.

Just now, she was still feeling sad about the new year without Shen Xueyu, but now her heart is like a ripe fruit, which was crushed by hands, and the sweet and sour juice splashed out.

Shen Xueyu opened the car door and walked out.Xia Wen felt a pungent feeling rushing to the tip of her nose, and she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

There was a short distance between the two, and Xia Wen ran crookedly in a heavy down jacket.

When he arrived in front of Shen Xueyu, he rushed into her arms with all his strength.

Shen Xueyu was forced to take a few steps back.

The sound of the wind and the children playing was still in my ears, Xia Wen held Shen Xueyu's sleeve: "Why are you back now?"

"I want to spend New Year's Eve with you."

Xia Wen knew that Shen Xueyu had been abroad for almost ten years, and the only perception she had about the Chinese New Year was when she had breakfast the next day after returning from the laboratory, she turned on the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on the computer as the background sound.

The reason why he hurried back was just to satisfy his sense of ritual.

Xia Wen buried his face deeper.

-

There are too many relatives in the family, Xia Wen didn't let Shen Xueyu come over, and asked her to go back to her own villa first.

Shen Xueyu hadn't had time to cut the checklist on the suitcase she was dragging, she held Xia Wen's hand that wanted to leave.

"Are you going to leave me alone in an empty house?" There was an expression of disbelief on his face, and the mournful tone seemed to be accusing a scumbag.

Xia Wen reached out to comfort her: "Why? I'll go back first and come over later."

After persuading her for a long time, Shen Xueyu released Xia Wen's hand and let her go back only half-believingly.

After Xia Wen went back, Xia Yuan was about to go upstairs to rest. She was originally arranged to share a bed with her cousin who was in the third year of high school tonight.She faltered and told Xia Yuan that the bed might not be able to accommodate two people, and if her cousin caught a cold, it might affect her future studies.

After talking about it a lot, Xia Wen expressed his intention: "Shen Xueyu, who lives opposite, has returned, and her house has a lot of vacant rooms."

Xia Yuan glanced at Xia Wen with a strange expression, and hesitated for a long time before letting go.

Xia Wen left with a smile.

Shen Xueyu's house is very clean, but not popular at all. She still feels cold when the air conditioner is turned on. Shen Xueyu is packing her luggage in her bedroom. bed.

The two people who haven't seen each other for almost a week are full of longing, and they have a tendency to be irresistible when they stick to each other.

Xia Wen's remaining rationality pushed away the person on her body: "It's not New Year's Eve yet."

Shen Xueyu's eyes were dark: "What's the meaning of New Year's Eve?" But she couldn't twist Xia Wen, and after she let go, she fell down on the vacant seat on one side.

Xia Wen took out his mobile phone to look at it. After a while, there were a lot of unread messages accumulated in the mobile phone.

One of them belonged to Xia Yuan.

She clicked, the expression on her face froze.

"There are so many rooms, it's best for two people to sleep in separate beds, because sleeping together is easy to catch a cold."

Xia Wen can probably imagine Xia Yuan's tangled and twisted expression when he edited this text message, and threw himself under the quilt with a smile.

Seeing her smiling like this, Shen Xueyu took Xia Wen's cell phone and looked at it, thinking for a moment.

"It's time to officially visit your father after the year."

The author has something to say: Xia Wen's father has been trying to pay attention to the trends in the academic world these days, focusing on Teacher Shen.

It will probably end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and there will be extra episodes later, do you have anything you want to see?

I will write as much as I can.
