As the New Year approached, the shop called "Tiantian" received a courier before closing, and the recipient was a dessert chef.

The pastry chef excitedly opened the package, and there was an unopened book inside, with a note attached: "Autographs are not good, but books are."

Cheng Mu gathered the camel white scarf around his neck and walked into the corridor.

He pressed the doorknob, and the warmth rushed into his face. It was the external heating installed in the house.

Speaking of which, he just casually said "It would be great if there is heating", and Shen Jinzhi contacted the decoration company that day, planning to install a heating system at home in the spring of next year.As for the current external heating, it is only for temporary emergency use.

A few days ago, Shen Jinzhi finally got busy with the rest of the school, and finally finished the unfinished tasks.

Shen Jinzhi was still at home before Cheng Mu went out, but now he was nowhere to be seen.

He hung up the scarf in his hand, opened the door to search, and finally saw Shen Jin's figure by the window of the master bedroom.

Shen Jinzhi put one hand in his pocket, the phone was lightly pressed against his ear, his slender knuckles pressed against the dark black phone, moving up and down with the rhythm of nodding his head.

Even though he could see such a scene every day, Cheng Muze's heart was still unavoidable.He stared blankly, but forgot to speak for a moment.

It wasn't until Shen Jinzhi turned around after making the phone call that Cheng Muze suddenly woke up. He hurriedly concealed his embarrassing reverie, and randomly picked up a sentence in his mind: "Who are you calling?"

Shen Jinzhi put down the phone, stroked the edge of the fuselage with his fingertips: "Is this to check my job?"

"Ah?" Cheng Mu shook his head blankly, "No, it's just that I've been seeing you calling others recently, and I'm a little curious."

Shen Jinzhi walked slowly in front of Cheng Muze, handed over his mobile phone and said, "Check it out."

Cheng Mu raised his hand and pushed the phone back: "That's not what I meant."

Before his hand was removed from the screen, Shen Jinzhi pressed his hand and led him to unlock the screen lock.

The interface stays on the call record. Among the dazzling strings of numbers, there is only one number with notes, which is very special.

Cheng Mu opened his eyes slightly, and he swiped the screen to switch to the function of the address book.

There are only two numbers in the empty communication, and the notes are all "A Xia".

Cheng Mu raised his eyes and confirmed in disbelief: "I'm the only one in your address book?"

Shen Jinzhi smiled and said nothing.

He turned his fingers through Cheng Muze's fingers, and pulled his hand to his lips: "Are you satisfied with the result of this investigation?"

"Satisfied." Cheng Mu just smiled, "Very satisfied."

Shen Jinzhi pulled him forward violently, while Cheng Mu leaned forward and bumped into Shen Jinzhi's chest.

Shen Jinzhi's heartbeat could be heard clearly through two or three layers of clothing.

Cheng Mu stared at Shen Jinzhi, and raised his hand slowly: "Yes."

Shen Jinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the next second, a stack of things was stuffed into Shen Jinzhi's arms, replacing Cheng Muze's hug.

Shen Jinzhi stared at the glowing red in his arms, and looked at Cheng Muze suspiciously.

"Professor Shen is on New Year's Eve, and I reward you for posting Spring Festival couplets with me."

This is a Spring Festival with only two people. Although it is comfortable, it seems a little deserted.

An advertisement is playing lonely on the TV, and preparations are being made to enter the gala.

A lot of ingredients purchased for the Spring Festival in the kitchen have not been processed yet, Cheng Mu squeezed the eyebrows with a slight headache: "Don't buy so much, just the two of us can't finish it, and it won't be fresh in two days. "

Cheng Mu stood up: "I'll go pick out some ingredients, and put the rest away first."

He had just put on the shifted slippers when Shen Jinzhi suddenly gave him a pull.

The center of gravity shifted back unexpectedly, and Cheng Mu fell directly on Shen Jin's lap: "Why am I so worried about whether I have enough to eat?"

"?" Cheng Mu blinked bluntly, "Do you think I'm so edible?"

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock at the door.

Cheng Mu suddenly turned his head back, the surprise in his eyes flashed away.

No one would knock on their door at this time, probably a relative from the neighbor's house.

"Boom boom boom——"

The voice sounded again, and it clearly cut into Cheng Muze's ears.

He tightened his arms around Shen Jin's neck: "Did you call someone?"

But Shen Jinzhi looked at him blankly and didn't answer him.

Cheng Mu looked away silently, and his legs slipped from Shen Jinzhi's legs: "I'll go and see."

He looked out from the door mirror, but there was only darkness outside.

He hesitantly put it on the doorknob, Shen Jinzhi's hand was pressed down from the outer covering, and he turned the handle.

The sensor light comes on.

"Brother, Happy New Year's Eve!"

"Happy New Year's Eve, brother."

"Happy New Year's Eve!"

A dozen miscellaneous sounds of "Happy New Year's Eve" sounded at the door, and together with the blessing of the corridor, they flooded into the living room.

This title was only used by the children in the orphanage back then.

Cheng Mu gasped, unable to match the dozens of faces in front of him with the people in his memory.

Behind him, Shen Jinzhi stroked his shoulder reassuringly: "Didn't you ask me why I keep calling recently? Now, it's all here."

Among the crowd, Shi Xun smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ze, let's spend the Spring Festival with you."

Cheng Mu opened his mouth dumbly, his voice was stagnant: "You guys, why..."

"We are all orphans, and we don't have any elders who we must visit. There is no place to go during the Spring Festival. Professor Shen invited us to celebrate the New Year, and we are very happy."

"Brother Ze, it's so cold, can we go in first? I can feel the heat."

Cheng Mu turned sideways quickly, a group of people walked in, and the house became lively in an instant.

"I have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. I brought the dough."

"I brought pork stuffing."

"Then it's good to eat pork stuffed with coriander."

"No cilantro."

"I want cilantro!"

They looked for slippers by themselves, and walked into the kitchen without any jerky to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

The background sound of the gala filled the living room, together with the sound of mixed conversations, it created a festive atmosphere.

Cheng Mu didn't seem to have had a decent festival for many years, and he was a little at a loss in the face of the sudden bustle.

He wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was stopped by Shen Jinzhi: "If they want to be busy, let them do it."

Shen Jinzhi took his hand and pulled him closer: "I have other tasks for you."

Shen Jinzhi took out his mobile phone and typed a series of phone numbers.

Cheng Mu didn't ask much, and sat on the sofa following Li Dao, listening to the "beep" sound before the call was connected.

"Hey?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone. Although it was not clear enough, it was enough for Cheng Mu to distinguish that it was grandma's voice.

"Hello? Is it Mu Ze?"

Shen Jinzhi picked up the phone and handed it to Cheng Muze. Cheng Mu responded as he took the phone, "Grandma, it's me. I wish you a New Year's greeting in advance."

"Hey." Grandma said with a smile in her voice, "I'm celebrating the New Year at your uncle's house, and I can go back after the fifth day of the lunar new year. If you want to visit grandma, you must come back after the sixth day of the new year."

She paused for a moment and then said: "When you come, take Xiao Shen with you."

Cheng Mu looked at Shen Jinzhi happily.

Shen Jinzhi nodded in response, approached the microphone and said, "Okay, I will definitely visit you and wish you a happy new year in advance."

I don't know who was around to say "Happy New Year, Grandma" first, and everyone followed suit.

The voices came and went, all collected into the earpiece of the mobile phone.

"Hey, where are there so many children? Happy New Year to you all."

Cheng Mu glanced back and said softly, "They... are all my relatives."

·

A joyful family banquet, more than a dozen joys from inside to outside.

Fireworks were set off outside the window, and a few people followed the sound and looked out the window, only to find that it was snowing outside.

"It's snowing outside."

"Are you from the north? There's nothing unusual about a little snow."

"It's a big drop."

"I heard that it rarely snows in Jinsong. If it snows for a few hours, it may be possible to have a snowball fight."

"I think snowball fights are enough, so setting off firecrackers is definitely okay. Have you finished eating, let's go down together. What's the New Year without firecrackers?"

Seeing Shen Jinzhi stretch out his hand, Cheng Mu quickly took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, preventing him from showing his affection in front of a group of people.

Cheng Mu turned his eyes a little guilty, and said to Shen Jinzhi: "They want to set off fireworks, why don't you take them down first, and go to the guard to file a case?"

Shen Jinzhi naturally picked up Cheng Muze's used tissue and threw it in the trash can at his feet.

"it is good."

Everyone followed Shen Jinzhi down one after another.

Cheng Mu went into the room to get something, but when he came out, he found it and couldn't leave.He leaned against the wall, staring intently at the phone screen.

He approached quietly: "Xiao Xun?"

Shi Xun's scattered thoughts came back in an instant, he turned off the phone screen, and stood up straight from the wall.

"I heard that you hacked into the school's educational administration system half a month ago, but only copied a photo from it?"

Shi Xun's emotions became flustered with the naked eye, and he immediately denied: "Where did you hear such an outrageous thing? If I hacked the intranet of the Academic Affairs Office, I would definitely change my grades, and there is no point in stealing photos."

Cheng Mu still wanted to ask more questions, but Shi Xun dragged him to open the door: "Let's go, I won't be able to keep up in a while."

Once downstairs, Shi Xun left as if running away.

The snow was bigger than expected, and it fluttered down like a feather, spreading on the square of the community.

The snowflakes fell on the sycamore tree they could see at home without avoiding it, forming large crystals loosely.

Standing in the snow, Cheng Mu couldn't help thinking of this time last year.

Behind the vast snow and fog, several people approached here.

"It's done, let's just stay here, so we can clean it up later."

"Wait a minute, I'll put the bigger one first."

"Hey, give the fairy sticks to 'Little Fairy'!"

"roll roll roll."

Gorgeous fireworks spread in the sky, dyeing the sky full of snowflakes.

Shen Jinzhi approached Cheng Muze slowly, and stopped opposite him.

He held up the camera in his hands: "Axia, do you want to take a picture? All of us together."

Cheng Muze's heartbeat stopped.

He knew that Shen Jinzhi was encouraging him to try again.

He swallowed the saliva that didn't exist in his mouth, rolled his Adam's apple dryly, and returned to the original place: "The snow...is too big."

"A-Xia." Shen Jinzhi said, "The important thing is not the photo itself, but the time it burns. Maybe next year we will be able to reunite, but at this moment there will be no more."

Cheng Mu moved his eyes forward, looked at the joking young man behind Shen Jinzhi, and nodded silently.

Shen Jinzhi turned around and called for others to take pictures together.

Tiangong has reduced the amount of snow in an American way, revealing a little bit of the dark color of night.

Cheng Mu took a long breath, and the snowflakes entered along the air cavity, bringing bone-piercing cold.

He grabbed the camera, and his knuckles began to stiffen again involuntarily.

He tried his best to breathe steadily, but his heart was still beating abnormally.

After simple metering, Cheng Mu slowly raised the lens and approached the viewfinder inch by inch.

Everyone was waiting patiently, with the smiles on their faces undiminished.

Cheng Mu gritted his teeth, the cold eroded the temperature of his hands, forcing his palms to tremble.

"Asha, I'm here."

Shen Jinzhi's voice came along with the wind, warmly dispelling his unspeakable stagnation.

Cheng Mu gripped it tighter, and slowly pressed his fingertips to the shutter.

"Crack-"

The moment the shutter sounded, Cheng Mu froze.

He straightened up in a daze.

Cheng Mu smiled wryly as he looked at the photo on the screen that had been auto-checked for a few seconds.

He stared blankly at Shen Jinzhi who was walking towards him, and said stagnantly: "I can do it, I can do it in the future."

For a moment, he really wanted to cry.

Especially when he saw the gentle smile on Shen Jinzhi's face.

Someone behind him took out a tripod that he didn't know when he brought it down, and quietly set up another camera.

Shen Jinzhi waved to him: "Ah Xia, come here."

Cheng Mu stretched out his free hand, and stood among the crowd at his invitation.

The shutter of the timing camera clicked, and a group of people under the snow and fireworks were frozen.

Shen Jinzhi took the camera in Cheng Mu Ze's hand, quietly led him aside, and wiped away the tiny tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Okay." Shen Jinzhi brushed off the fine snowflakes from his hair, "It's all over."

Shen Jinzhi pinched his face and pulled lightly: "So many people called your brother tonight, but no one called me. I'm so sour, don't you coax me?"

Cheng Mu raised his wet eyes: "You planned to call them a long time ago?"

"Yeah." Shen Jinzhi echoed the voice, "I've made plans since you said 'I only have you'."

"why?"

Shen Jinzhi put down his hands, and said seriously word by word: "I think you are surrounded by countless loves, and you understand that I am not the only one who loves you in this world."

The teardrops hidden in the eye sockets uncontrollably escaped from the constraints of the eye sockets, slipped down from the cheeks, and plunged into the whiteness of the ground.

Cheng Mu ignored the coolness on his face, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I also have a secret, do you want to hear it?"

"I think." Shen Jinzhi frowned slightly, "I want to know all your secrets."

"The name Z-air, do you remember how it came from?"

Shen Jinzhi pondered along the memory: "At that time you said that you wanted to be as free and omnipresent as the air. As for the prefix, isn't it the abbreviation of 'Ze'?"

Cheng Mu shook his head: "Actually, the Z in the name was never Cheng Muze's, but Shen Jinzhi's.

"It seems that I have liked you since so long ago. I am so stupid that I can't recognize my own mind when I write you in my name."

Shen Jinzhi looked at him silently, breathing carefully.

"I heard that a person will fall in love with the same person repeatedly. It turns out to be true. Falling in love with you repeatedly is the luckiest thing in my life."

Cheng Mu opened his pocket and took out a gift box.

He opened the box with trembling hands.

"The cufflinks are reordered. Although it's not the one that was lost back then, fortunately, A-Xia is still A-Xia back then."

He pulled up Shen Jinzhi's sleeve and put the cufflink on the cuff that was still empty on that side.

Snowflakes fell on the cuff buttons profusely, but they couldn't block the light reflected from the metal.

Cheng Mu took Shen Jinzhi's hand and clasped his fingers tightly.

"Brother, I will hold your hand on New Year's Eve this year."

In the distance, the sound of the twelve o'clock chime sounded faintly, and nearby, several people frolicking among the fireworks were telling each other New Year's blessings.

Shen Jinzhi raised his fingertips and stroked the glow of fireworks on his cheek.

"Asha, happy new year. Be happy every day in the future."

He lowered his head and kissed Cheng Muze's lips reverently.

There was heavy snow behind them, but they seemed to have returned to that long summer day, the basketball court full of youth and sweat.

The boy shook the camera in his hand, and said to the people in front of him with eyes full of joy: "Student, can you do me a favor?"

Anyway, life is only so long, so love someone wantonly.

Even if you run out of courage.

And never give up the desire to hold that hand.
