……

On the night of New Year's Eve, Muchen and his mother had a New Year's Eve dinner together. There were plenty of fish and meat dishes on the table, and the gala was lively and festive on the TV.

Their family is small, and the two of them have lived like this for the past few years, so they don't feel deserted.Don't rush to clean up after dinner, just sit on the sofa and watch the show.

Mu Chen was either amused by the sketches, or complained about the old-fashioned and boring plots. From time to time, he had to avoid his mother's attention and secretly message his boyfriend back to share his impressions after watching it.

After the countdown to the New Year's Eve in the wee hours of the morning, whether on the TV or outside the window, there are firecrackers and fireworks all over the sky, and there is no feeling of desertedness. I feel that the noise is real.

On the TV, the host’s impassioned New Year greetings had to be heard by the audience in the background of the huge music. Muchen was wearing a woolen scarf and thick gloves in front of the screen, dressed for going out.

Chen Yanwei, who was about to clean up the dishes, asked him, "What are you doing so late?"

Muchen hurriedly said: "Go downstairs to watch the fireworks, Mom, leave a door for me!" After speaking, he hurried downstairs, the sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor.

Chen Yanwei shook her head helplessly, there are fireworks every New Year's Eve, and I don't see him going downstairs to watch them in previous years.

This is true.

Muchen doesn't have any special hobbies for fireworks. If someone lets him off, he just joins in the fun. If no one lets him off, he doesn't feel greedy. The reason why he is in a hurry to go downstairs tonight is just to take the opportunity to avoid his parents and make a video call for his boyfriend. That's all.

After going downstairs, he purposely wandered a little further, so as not to be recognized by the old neighbors around him.Stand still under a tree in the corner, and connect to the video while breathing calmly.

The handsome face of the young man who didn't hurt at all jumped out on the screen. Fu Yihan looked at the bulging lover at the camera, with soft eyebrows and eyes: "Happy New Year, Chenchen."

Muchen pulled down his scarf and took a breath of white steam, and said with a bright smile, "Happy New Year!"

The loud noise of firecrackers crackling and fireworks firing was all around my ears, and Mu Chen had to talk through his throat like the host of a TV show on TV: "Wait a minute, it's too noisy here, wait until I wear headphones! "

Swishusu took out the earphone cable from his pocket, plugged it in and put it on, then turned up the volume to the highest level, and finally got a minute or two of silence away from the hustle and bustle around him.

"It's so quiet over there, isn't anyone setting off firecrackers and fireworks?" Mu Chen asked, rubbing his frozen face.

Fu Yihan: "Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in our city."

Muchen: "Well, actually, we usually ban it here, and there is an exception during the Chinese New Year. The management staff have urged them to let it go to open areas. You may have been holding it back for a long time, and you will try your best to release it when the Chinese New Year comes."

Tsk tsk, everyone is rich, fireworks are not cheap.

He held up his mobile phone and showed Fu Yihan a look into the distance, the colorful and beautiful fireworks almost lit up the night sky.

The nearby residential buildings are relatively dense, and the fireworks are concentrated in an open area a little farther away, so Mu Chen and the others can enjoy beautiful and diverse fireworks without being shrouded in thick smoke from the additional products.

Fu Yihan stared intently at the other end of the screen. The fireworks were beautiful, but the bright and beautiful smiling face under the firelight was even more imaginative.He said: "I don't have fireworks here, but I can show you other flowers."

"What?" Mu Chen was curious: "Hungry and blind?"

Fu Yihan smiled, raised his thin lips, and his black eyes were as bright as stars: "I'm not hungry after dinner, my eyes may be blurred and I may have to be hungry for a few more days."

He went on to say: "Or let Chenchen have money to spend, spend whatever she wants?"

Muchen snorted softly, the background behind his boyfriend on the screen kept changing, while he was talking to him, he heard where the other party was at home.

During this period, he found a stone bench around him, fixed his mobile phone on the stone bench, and then squatted in front of him with his hands free.

"It's here." Fu Yihan said on the phone, and turned on the light.

Muchen took a closer look, followed the camera of the other party and saw a large green plant, layered on top of each other, scattered and orderly.

Fu Yihan: "This is a greenhouse. Many varieties in it were collected and cared for by my grandma when she was alive. After her death, no one in the family favored them. Now the gardener is managing them."

Now the layout of the greenhouse has not changed much. When I was a child, Fu Yihan, who played in the greenhouse behind his grandma, walked in familiarly. He imitated Mu Chen's movements and squatted in front of a plant: "Look."

Occupying most of the screen is a half-opened white flower bud. The layered petals are soft and fluffy, like the skirt of a goddess.

Muchen's eyes widened in surprise.There may be many people in the world who do not love flowers, but most of them cannot deny the quiet and thrilling beauty of flowers in bloom.

Muchen breathed lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the blooming of the other party, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of flower is this?" Forgive him for not knowing much about flowers.

Fu Yihan deliberately asked him to guess: "A kind of flower with a special opening time."

His reminder was too obvious. If Mu Chen couldn't figure it out, it would be useless to learn Chinese for so many years, so he blurted out: "Epiphyllum?!"

"Well, congratulations to Chenchen, you guessed it right." Fu Yihan nodded with a smile.Fortunately, today the gardener casually said that the epiphyllum might be blooming tonight, and he remembered it.

Muchen: "Hey, then what's the reward for my guess?" She held her face and looked cute.

The young man pondered for two seconds, then raised his eyes and said in a slow voice: "For the reward... can I go to Rongcheng on the 6th?"

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, three members of the Fu family will come to Rongcheng to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei.

Muchen immediately understood what her boyfriend meant: "We have no plans for that day!"

The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.

Before he knew it, Mu Chen had been out for more than 20 minutes, and the sound of firecrackers in his ears gradually died down, only sporadic fireworks still flickering in the night.

The so-called short-lived epiphyllum means that the epiphyllum remains in bloom for a short time, but it cannot be seen for a few hours after it is fully open.

It's impossible for Mu Chen not to go home all the time. Chen Yanwei sent a message to ask when it was too late. He and Fu Yihan finished the video chat and switched to text chat, and walked back while sending messages.

After washing up at home, he said goodnight to Fu Yihan before going to bed. It was a pity that he couldn't see the scene of the epiphyllum blooming.

I don’t want to wake up the next day and turn on my phone to receive a surprise.

[Fu Yihan: Gift for Chenchen on the first day of the New Year]

【Fu Yihan: [Video]】

The video is not long. When Mu Chen clicked to view it, he found that it was only 35 seconds in total, but every second was precious and made Mu Chen very happy-this is a time-lapse photography of the blooming epiphyllum!

The hours-long opening process was fast-forwarded and edited into just a few tens of seconds, and viewers can clearly witness the moment when the epiphyllum blooms.

If the blooming of epiphyllum in nature is static, then the blooming of epiphyllum in the video is dynamic, as if it has been given life.

Muchen was so moved, his heart was beating wildly like a naughty little rabbit, he covered his phone to his chest and the corners of his mouth crazily raised, and it took him a while to calm down and send a voice message to his boyfriend.

Can't video, because he has rolled up the quilt and hasn't gotten up to wash.

"Woooooooooooooo beautiful, I like it so much! This is the second time in my life that I have received such a special gift, thank you boyfriend~" The first time was Xiao Yu'er!

He lowered his voice to express his excitement: "What did you do? Did you go to bed very late?" There was some distress in his words.

It's nine o'clock in the morning, and the news and video were sent after six o'clock in the morning. Generally speaking, Fu Yihan usually gets up early and runs in the morning at this time.Fu Yihan prepared such a big surprise for him early in the morning, so he definitely won't be able to sleep for long, or maybe he didn't sleep at all!

After sending out the voice, Mu Chen immediately regretted it, what if Fu Yihan was catching up on sleep, wouldn't he wake up the other party when he sent a message?

The phone vibrated, it was a voice invitation from Fu Yihan, he picked it up.

"Chenchen, good morning." The young man's voice was hoarse after waking up, and it was a little more sexy and low-key than usual.

Muchen said guiltily: "Good morning, did I wake you up?"

"No," the other end smiled lowly, "I'm going to get up if you don't send a message."

Muchen felt that the other party was probably coaxing him, but he was willing to be coaxed, and it was boring to keep struggling.He once again expressed his liking for this video, saying: "I want to transfer it to the computer and create a special folder for collection!"

"Huh?" Fu Yihan: "Then I want to develop a hobby of time-lapse photography in the future, otherwise it would be ugly if the files are empty."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Mu Chen asked: "How did you do it? Did you not sleep last night?"

Fu Yihan: "It's not that troublesome."

Time-lapse photography sounds lofty, but in fact, as long as the finished product is not demanding, it is quite simple to make. SLR camera, sufficient battery, large enough memory, and a tripod to fix the camera, these four things are completely enough.

It didn't take long for Fu Yihan to go to the greenhouse to prepare these after chatting with Muchen last night, but it took more time to get up in the morning to collect the video synthesized by the machine.

"I haven't done this kind of video synthesis before. I learned it temporarily today. It may not look good." He said.

"Nonsense, it's obviously very good-looking, and you can't tell it's a novice at all. I like it very, very much!" Mu Chen was decisive, and then his tone softened, and his voice became sweet: "I also like Fu Yihan very much~"

"I miss you, boyfriend."

"If you say that, I can't wait to see you." Fu Yihan told him in a low voice.

Muchen: "Then I want to see you too."

The two were lingering and confiding in each other's hearts, but they would have to wait until the sixth day to see each other if they fell in lovesickness again.

Fu Yihan's family arrived in Rongcheng by plane in the morning. The family had a lively lunch together. Fu Ting and Wei Qing thanked the two for taking care of their son.

The old lady Wei waved her hands cheerfully, saying that they didn't have much to worry about. After all, Fu Yihan had to go to school and lived in the city most of the time, and they were very happy to take care of them.

The two sides were chatting about family affairs, but Fu Yihan couldn't get in the conversation, so he said that he was going out for a while and left first.

The old lady Wei saw through it at a glance, and said to her daughter: "Hey, I must have gone to find Mu Chen. He is a good friend Xiao Yi made at school, and the two have a good relationship."

Are you sure it's just friends?

"Really? I seldom hear him mention it to us." Wei Qing laughed, looking thoughtfully at the back of his son leaving.Oh, Xiao Mian, I still want to hide it from her who has been here!

After chatting with her mother, Wei Qing secretly grabbed her husband's clothes and put them outside.

Fu Ting had a serious face, and those who were not familiar with him thought he was angry.He helped his wife's hand to straighten his wrinkled clothes, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"You're still asking me what's wrong?" Wei Qing said angrily, "Did you forget what Xiao Gong told us a while ago? He said that our son might be in a relationship!"

Fu Ting nodded seriously: "Well, I believe Xiao Yi knows what to do and what not to do."

Wei Qing was even angrier, and slapped her husband hard: "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, our son doesn't have a single female mosquito around, who is he dating?"

Although the two parents couldn't be with their son, they cared a lot. From Teacher Li and Xiao Gong, they could roughly infer Fu Yihan's life at school.

They don't make evaluations in their studies, which is not what they care about the most. In terms of interpersonal relationships, they are much stronger than before, and they are not a lone ranger at all.

Thinking of this, Wei Qing suddenly sighed: "Do you think we made a mistake in our decision to send Xiao Yi abroad? He hasn't made any friends after frequent transfers over the years. Isn't it going to start all over again when he goes abroad?"

"First of all, even going to a domestic university is a brand new environment," Fu Ting refuted this first, and then he slapped his wife, frowning in pain, "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

Wei Qing squinted at him: "Then tell me."

Fu Ting: "Secondly, Xiao Yi knew about the decision to go abroad. He didn't refuse at the time, which means he didn't care about it."

Wei Qing snorted: "Then was then, and now is now." Of course it doesn't matter when you don't have friends, but if you really talk to someone, you can see if he is willing to go abroad!

"Yes, your consideration is correct." The mature and stable man glanced at his wife, and finally revealed a trace of evil taste outside of his personality, "I really want to test your son's reaction, why don't you take the initiative to propose the arrangement for going abroad?" .”

The couple looked at each other and nodded in unison.

They were very curious about whether their son was in a relationship and who he was dating, but they always understood that they could not ask anyone other than Fu Yihan about this kind of thing, otherwise it would not be caring, but monitoring.

But as for who will take the initiative to open the mouth, the couple pushed me and pushed you, and they didn't discuss the result until the end of the winter vacation.

The new semester was about to start, and the night before returning to Rongcheng, Fu Yihan, who knew nothing about it, knocked on the door of his father Fu Ting's study.
