not brilliant

Of course Jing Can couldn't answer He Pingyi's question.

He tried his best not to let his breathing become short, but he lowered the frequency of breathing, but he couldn't control the depth of breathing that kept deepening due to tension.He bit his lips tightly and did not speak, and then tears poured out in big drops, shattering on the cold ground.

Jing Can couldn't figure out what happened just now, he couldn't even tell if it happened for real or if it was his hopeless fantasy.

Because he kept his head down and kept holding back from making any sound, He Pingyi didn't notice that he was crying at first.It wasn't until He Pingyi bent slightly and hugged Jing Can into his arms that he felt the cool liquid on his neck.

"What's wrong?" He Pingyi panicked, and hurriedly wiped Jing Can's face with one hand.Jing Can almost used all his strength on his neck, he lowered his head desperately, no matter how much He Pingyi held his face to look at him, he refused to lift it up.In the end, He Pingyi saw that he seemed to be very emotional, so he didn't dare to use brute force to pull him. Instead, he held him in his arms, patted his back, and comforted him.

This time it was a real hug, He Pingyi's arms tightly wrapped around him, not letting him escape.

"Why are you still crying?" He Pingyi asked, "Is it unacceptable?"

Jing Can shook her head.

After that, He Pingyi didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until Jing Can felt that his feet were numb that he heard He Pingyi sigh softly in his ear, saying: "I understand. I'm sorry, I won't release you for others next time."

After hearing this, Jing Can couldn't stop crying.Sometimes he felt that He Pingyi really treated him too well, no matter how willful, difficult, or strange he was, He Pingyi could tolerate him.His kindness towards him always seemed to be gratuitous and unconditional.

How they left that small alley in the end, and how He Pingyi sent him home, Jing Can had no memory at all.He only remembered that when he reached the door of the house, He Pingyi wanted to follow in, but he rushed into the courtyard door in a panic and closed the door heavily behind him.

Jing Can knew that he was wrong, he was the one who provoked the matter first, he was the one who kissed He Pingyi first, but now he is the one who fled in despair.

But he was really panicked, and he really didn't know how to face He Pingyi, so he could only be a deserter.

The person outside knocked on the door but refused to leave.

"Open the door." He Pingyi felt that Jing Can was in a bad mood at the moment, so he coaxed him, "Open the door, I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"No need." Although He Pingyi couldn't see through a door, Jing Can still shook her head.

He Pingyi stood outside the door, rubbing the back of his head in distress.To say that he is very calm now would be farting.What happened that night also exceeded his expectations. His awakening was only a moment in that small alley, and all the emotional changes came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Being shut out by Jing Can at this moment, He Pingyi didn't know what to do, so he could only knock on the door over and over again, calling his name.

"He Pingyi," Jing Can stood up straight, took a few deep breaths, and calmed herself down, "Why don't we all calm down and talk about it tomorrow."

He Pingyi opened his mouth, he didn't want to leave Jing Can alone, he felt that some things should be confirmed immediately, but he was afraid that if he was too aggressive, Jing Can would be forced to back away.So he took two steps back, stepped down the steps, and said to the closed door: "It's fine, but you go to bed early, don't think about it, and you can ask me directly if you have any questions."

"En." Although a little slow, Jing Can still responded.

The street lamps flickered on and off, and the lights flickered in a panic.He Pingyi put his hands on the handlebars, and was about to get on the car, but stopped suddenly.

He looked at the gate, parked the car again, and walked back.

This time he didn't knock on the door, but he knew that Jing Can must still be behind the door.

"Jing Can," He Pingyi said, "I'm serious."

seriously.

Jing Can walked into the room with stiff legs, these three words echoed in her head.

He didn't want to keep recalling what happened just now, but that scene was just like a movie playing, it kept shaking in front of his eyes.As soon as you close your eyes, you will see the dim light in the small alley just now, as if He Pingyi's breath is still on his face

He took a book and nestled on the bed.Originally, I wanted to divert my attention, but after looking at it, I looked at it.

Throwing the book on the bedside table, Jing Can lay on her back on the bed, letting out a long sigh into the air.

It's over, Jing Can thought, I can't hold back...

Amidst the confusion, Jing Can heard a familiar voice outside.

Is it New Years?

He was thinking that he needed to talk to someone, and when he heard that the New Year was coming, he was overjoyed.Pulled on the down jacket, ran outside, and saw a familiar shadow.

"It's really you." Jing Can was so moved that he was about to cry, he knelt down and hugged New Year into his arms, "How do you know I miss you?"

New Year didn't struggle, as if he knew that Jing Can needed company, he lay quietly on his arms.

"Are you hungry?" After hugging for a while, Jing Can put the New Year back on the ground and asked him.

New Year couldn't answer, so he chose to sit down where he was, and looked at Jing Can eagerly.

"You wait, I'll get you something to eat."

After meeting the New Year that time, Jing Can specially bought some dog food for preparation.He ran to the house to get some, and watched the New Year feast.

He squatted on the side as usual, and took a stone to write and draw on the ground.Because she was thinking about something in her mind, Jing Can didn't pay attention to what she had written at all, and was blown back to her senses by a gust of cold wind. Jing Can looked at the ground, only to find that there were He Pingyi's names in front of her.

"Ah..." Jing Can bumped her forehead to her knees, "What should I do...New Year..."

New Year's appointment was so hungry that he didn't pay attention to him.

"He Pingyi said he was serious." Jing Can moved his eyes and asked with some uncertainty, "So he means that he likes me?"

Just thinking of this made Jing Can's heart beat violently.

After being quiet for a while, Jing Can exhaled, stroked New Year's head and whispered, "I don't know, but I really... like him."

When He Pingyi went home, he took a detour. In fact, he was unconscious, but he drove the car to the video store.The old song was still playing in the video store. Seeing him coming in, Brother Hao raised his head from the computer, quite surprised: "Why are you here?"

He Pingyi was stopped by this question, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Listen to the song."

The old song that Brother Hao loved was still playing in the store, He Pingyi looked for it on the shelf where the old tapes were kept, and sure enough there was the tape he was looking for.Brother Hao also followed him, saw the thing in his hand, and wondered, "Why did you remember to listen to this?"

He Pingyi sucked in his nose, which was a little stuffy due to the cold wind blowing for too long, and said, "Our school missed a song here. Brother Hao, give me my tape player."

Because He Pingyi used to come here often to listen to music, he simply put a tape player here.After paying the money, Brother Hao saw that He Pingyi was about to leave with the tape player, so he stopped him immediately.

Brother Hao knocked on the table and warned him: "Riding a bicycle while listening to music is very dangerous."

Brother Hao looks like a big and three rough, but he has always been very concerned about traffic safety.When He Pingyi bought an electric car, even his parents didn't feel worried. On the contrary, Brother Hao kept nagging in his ears that electric cars were too dangerous and that bicycles were better, which made He Pingyi buy an electric car After that, I didn't dare to come to the store for two full weeks.

"Don't worry," He Pingyi put the earphones on his ears, "I'll walk around and check the cars, and there aren't many cars at night."

He Pingyi stepped down the steps of the video store, and at the same moment, pressed the play button of the tape player.

After talking to New Year for some time, Jing Can touched her ankle, which was about to lose consciousness from the cold, and got up to move around.Seeing that the snow had no tendency to stop, he ran home and found an unused cardboard box, spread a blanket inside, and covered it with a large piece of plastic sheeting to make a simple dog house.

It took him a long time to choose a location before he hid the dog house, and took the New Year into it to recognize his home.The New Year turned twice in the cardboard box, as if confirming the smell.

"It's going to snow a lot at night. If you stay here, you won't be cold. I...don't dare to take you home yet. I'll make preparations and try to bring you home in the future, okay?" ?” After finishing speaking, he touched New Year’s head and said to it, “Good night, my New Year.”

And He Pingyi went around the city for countless times, and played the music in the earphones on loop for countless times.When the electric car finally couldn't bear it, indicating that the battery was low, He Ping moved the car to the door of Jing Can's house.

He parked the car by the side of the road, stood at the door and lingered for a long time, but he still didn't knock on the door or contact Jing Can.

The snow came suddenly. This night, TV stations were broadcasting blizzard warnings to remind citizens to reduce unnecessary travel.

He Pingyi stomped his feet, and a few footprints were left on the already thick snow.The heavy snow drifts under the dim light, which looks like a reverie scene in a movie.It could be the night before a farewell, it could be the night of a reunion, it could be... the night of a confession.

He Pingyi stretched out his hand and snipped a few falling snowflakes in the air.The snowflakes fell on the palm and melted quickly, leaving only a few sporadic water stains, reflecting a bewildered face.

"Hey." He Pingyi looked at the closed door and sighed, then took two steps forward, squatted down on the ground, and stretched out his hand to scratch a handful of snow.

It's snowing so hard that you can make a snowman.

I don't know which tendon is wrong, the heavy snow is still falling, He Pingyi is frozen like a radish, but suddenly wants to build a snowman for Jing Can.Not for anything else, he just feels that he can be happy for a long time according to Jing Can's little things, maybe when he wakes up tomorrow morning and sees the snowman, he will suddenly realize that it seems that being with him is not bad.

Putting the earphones in his pocket, He Pingyi did what he said.He didn't have any tools at hand, so he could only rely on his hands. Fortunately, because riding an electric bike is usually cold, He Pingyi wears thick gloves.But this is the case, after the snowman has a basic appearance, the gloves are all soaked.He Pingyi pinched his fingers and tore off the gloves, threw them into the car basket, then put his hands that were already red with cold in his pockets, and walked around the snowman twice.

The eyes and mouth were made of stones, and a small twig was found for the nose, and the hands and clothes buttons were also there, but no matter how He Pingyi looked at it, he felt that this snowman was almost meaningless.After thinking about it for a while, I touched it twice with my hand in my pocket, and took out the tape player and earphones from my pocket.

After saying goodnight to New Year, Jing Can lay upright on the bed for an hour, but still couldn't fall asleep.After an unknown amount of time, he reached out and touched the phone, flipping through it unconsciously, killing energy.

A text message suddenly popped up on the top of the screen, causing Jing Can to turn over and lie on the bed in fright.

"have you slept?"

It is impossible to sleep, but whether to reply to the message is a question.Jing Can tapped the screen a few times with her fingers, and the tapping speed became slower and slower, until she finally stopped completely, and pressed the delete button after a while.

Watching the input box return to zero, Jing Can took a deep breath and pressed her face into the soft pillow.

Just about to put the phone aside and pretend not to see it, He Pingyi sent another sentence.

"The other party is inputting, Jing Can, if you pretend not to see it, you will be spotted."

After reading these words, the back of Jing Can's ears suddenly became hot.

"Didn't sleep." Jing Can replied honestly.

"Then... come out?"
