selfish desire

Autumn is over in a hurry, and it is winter again in a blink of an eye.

Du Su huddled in the house, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at patches of drifting snow. It had been falling for more than two hours, and it melted as it fell, and it hadn't covered the ground for more than two hours.

Du Su wasn't admiring the snow, she was just repeating the distraction she had done every day since this time.

After that incident, although the family felt ashamed and abruptly cut off contact, at the same time, the compensation she received, and the money Lu Zheng used to make her let go, all add up to 1000 million.

This is the only kindness he has given her since she has liked Lu Geyu for so many years.

Not long after, the snow stopped.

The phone on the table vibrated, interrupting her trance.

Glancing at it, she saw that it was a number from another place. She hung up casually, and the number kept calling again. Du Su frowned, picked it up, and answered with a cold voice.

The other party was a young male voice, "Hi, your courier has arrived, please go downstairs to sign for it."

Du Su didn't do any online shopping at all, she hesitated for a moment, answered, and went downstairs to pick it up.

Standing downstairs was a boy holding a cardboard box. He turned his head when he heard footsteps, "Are you Ms. Chen?"

Du Su glanced at him, then looked at the box, "My surname is not Chen."

The boy smiled awkwardly, "Ah, sorry."

Du Su didn't say anything, and looked around impatiently with his mobile phone, but he didn't see anyone else.

Where did the courier go?Haven't been downstairs yet?

While peeking at her, the boy kept unconsciously rubbing the corners of the box. The two stood together with a distance of a few steps between them.

Du Su waited until her feet were numb from the cold, and finally lost her patience and made a call. Soon, the call was connected, and the boy behind her also started calling at some point.

Du Su felt a vibration when the phone was connected, and blurted out, "Where have you been?"

The boy behind was a little surprised when he heard the same words coming from the receiver. He turned slightly and tentatively answered, "Hello...? You've already arrived downstairs, haven't you?"

Du Su also turned around in astonishment, the two looked at each other, Du Su pursed his lips and hung up the phone, "Are you the courier with the tail number 2210?"

The boy nodded blankly, "You... are not Ms. Chen."

Du Su guessed a possibility, "Did you make a mistake?"

The boy hurriedly turned the interface to look, and sure enough, he dialed the wrong digit.

The boy put away the phone, and bowed apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I wasted your time, and made you wait so long..."

Du Su didn't want to hear what he said. Before the boy finished speaking, she turned around and planned to go back.

Seeing this, the boy stepped forward and stopped him, "Sister, wait a moment!"

Du Su frowned and looked at him, "Do you have anything else to do?"

The boy frantically stuffed his phone into his pocket, and took out a fluffy hand warmer from another pocket.

He smiled embarrassedly, "Well, it's all my fault, take this and warm it up."

Du Su was a little moved, she stared at the hand warmer, the boy would get the wrong idea, and took the initiative to explain the source of the hand warmer.

"This one was originally bought for my girlfriend, but we just... broke up, uh, don't mind, please accept it, it's quite cold, I'm really sorry."

Du Su didn't speak, took the hand warmer, looked at the boy without saying a word, the boy waved his hands carelessly and left without knowing what to do.

The road was a bit slippery, and the boy walked in a hurry, accidentally rubbed against it, and almost slipped and fell.

Du Su pursed his lips and called out to stop him. The boy turned his head, and Du Su cherished his words like gold.

"be careful."

The boy was taken aback, then grinned and nodded, "Go up, goodbye."

Du Su nodded and wanted to smile, but because he hadn't smiled for a long time, he seemed a little stiff.

So she gave up and just nodded.

The boy watched her disappear at the door of the unit, then turned around and walked home.

The road is too slippery, the courier can't deliver, let's go home.

A gust of cold wind blew unexpectedly, and he shivered.

It's really cold, the weather is cold, my heart is also cold, and my sister just now.

It also looked cold.

……

Spring Festival.

Du Su didn't have any obsession with the Chinese New Year. When she woke up early in the morning, she was still cooking in the kitchen when the knock on the door from the opposite side made her scalp numb.

Probably the family who didn't know the opposite door went out, and they knocked quite vigorously.

Du Su became impatient, opened the door and said to the back in front of him, "They're not at home, don't knock."

After she shouted, she wanted to close the door, but stopped the moment the man turned around - it was the boy in the snowy sky.

"Hey...?" The boy obviously recognized her, and smiled a little shyly, "Thank you, I didn't know they were out. I'm here to repair electrical appliances, so excuse me."

Du Su nodded, and the next second, the washing machine where she was supposed to be washing clothes suddenly stopped.

Dusu: ...

"Wait a minute." She anxiously called out to the boy who was about to go to the elevator.

She opened her mouth only when the boy turned around, "I have it at home and it needs to be repaired. Come and see it?"

The boy was obviously unexpected, but he didn't refuse, he grinned, "Okay."

So I went into her house with the toolbox, and squatted in front of the washing machine with nothing else in mind.

Du Su watched the time and waited while keeping an eye on the contents of the pot. Before he knew it, most of the time passed.

The boy got up and packed his tools, "Okay sister, you try?"

Du Su nodded, stepped forward and turned on the switch, and the washing machine returned to normal and began to operate hummingly.

She stretched her brows, "Well, well, how much?"

When it came to the price, the boy felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and simply gave up, "It's not a big problem, it's okay, you don't need to pay."

He said he was about to leave, but Du Su called him to stop, and after looking around, he went to the refrigerator to get the cake he bought yesterday under the surprised eyes of the boy.

She tucked into his arms, "Offset."

The boy was a little dumbfounded, thought for a while, and took out the Spring Festival couplets he had just bought. The bright red ones were quite inconsistent with the layout of the whole house.

He covered his face in embarrassment, "I don't have any good things, but you don't have a link at home, right? I didn't see it posted...then this is for you?"

Du Su wanted to say that she didn't pass the Spring Festival, but he swallowed it again, took it with his hand, and said thank you.

The boy waved his hand again like last time, and walked to the elevator in a few steps. Du Su didn't want to look too much, and turned back to the room.

In the days to come, Du Su could always meet him. Every time he met, the two of them would be involved in a big or small way. They might just nod their heads to say hello, and sometimes they would chat for a while.

Gradually, she knew the reason why boys always do a lot of odd jobs—he only had one grandma. Although he worked hard to make money, the old man passed away. Now that he is not so busy and the burden of life has been lifted, he interviewed a Law firm, stable job.

After frequent encounters, they became friends, and occasionally met for a meal together, but the communication was always as plain as water, and neither party was out of line at all.

Until the third year of their acquaintance, the boy invited Du Su to his house for dinner, and when he helped Du Su pick fishbone as usual, he restrained his nervousness and said nothing.

"It's actually an honor to pick a fishbone. Be my girlfriend, so that I can enjoy this honor every day."

Du Su paused, his eyes blurred with tears.

In the winter of the fifth year they knew each other, they got married.

It was the second time for Du Su to wear a wedding dress. This time her groom carefully prepared every detail of the wedding, invited every friend in every possible way, and then accompanied her with a polite smile, turning the table around Another round of toasting.

In the end, I walked with her year after year.
