look forward to

It was almost ten o'clock when we left Pao Ma's place, and the snow that had been falling for two days finally stopped.

Xu Yong had already gone home, and no one was on the way with Jin Chu.

The snow on the road had turned into a thin layer of ice, and there was a crisp sound when they stepped on it. The three of them, Ai Mingrui and Qin Mufeng, clamored to send Jin Chu back with Qin Mufeng, but Jin Chu refused with a smile.

In fact, Jin Chu didn't want Qin Mufeng to send him back, and he didn't drink much, and he was a boy, so there was no danger.

Qin Mufeng said with a look that could not refuse, "Let's go, I will take you back."

It is a tone that cannot be refused, this may be the love of the boss!

Just send it away, but what is the strange atmosphere between them now? Except for the sound of cracking ice slag characters under their feet, Jin Chu and Qin Mufeng have almost reached the cultural street where Qin Mufeng picked him up earlier. Not a word was said.

They should be good friends now, but why did they feel that there was nothing to say? Jin Chu thought about it carefully. It seemed that he and Qin Mufeng had never gotten along like Qin Mufeng and Ai Mingrui did.

"Um……"

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time, and they were both taken aback for a while, then Jin Chu couldn't help laughing suddenly, Qin Mufeng also curled his lips slightly, Jin Chu quickly said, "You speak first, you speak first."

"It's okay, what do you want to say?" Qin Mufeng moved his lips, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Jin Chu didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Student Qin, you don't need to send me back specially, the road is not dangerous."

Qin Mufeng said, "I heard that there was a fight here last night. The alley you go back to is too remote, so be careful."

"Eh???" Jin Chuxin said why he hadn't heard of this matter, how could it be that the world is far away from me?

"Let's go." The two walked along the road they came from earlier.

"That, classmate Qin?"

"Ok?"

"Last time you said you couldn't go back to Yuncheng, so who are you staying here to spend the New Year with?" Jin Chu began to struggle when he asked, always feeling that it was too prying into people's privacy, but he couldn't help but want to know, he If you don't go back, will you spend the New Year alone, will you be accompanied by someone?

He wanted to ask this question that day.

Even though Jin Chu felt that he didn't fit in with that family, he was still willing to go back. In any case, in this family reunion festival, at least he didn't look so lonely.

Qin Mufeng, "My grandma is here, and spent time with her."

That's okay, Jin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he remembered, is it okay if Qin Mufeng doesn't go back so late?Will the old man be worried? It is said that he just stayed out at night the day before yesterday.

"Is it okay for you to go back so late? Will grandma worry?"

"It's okay, she knows that Ai Mingrui and I have come out."

Grandma is a gentle and generous person, she is very open-minded, she cares about Qin Mufeng, but she doesn't care about him too much, he feels that when the child grows up, he doesn't need adults to teach him how to do things, many things in the future, many decisions to be made, All need him to complete independently.

From childhood to adulthood, grandma was in Qin Mufeng's life. She was not like an ordinary elder, but more like a teacher and a guide. She taught him how to behave, guided him to distinguish right from wrong, and gave him advice big and small, but she always Let Qin Mufeng be himself.

Qin Mufeng, who looks cold on the outside, always has a gentle heart. Jin Chu can feel it. He saw a layer of tenderness in Qin Mufeng's eyes. Grandma must be a very good person. When Qin Mufeng mentioned her, his whole body softened.

When they went back, they had to pass by the alley where Jin Chu came home from school every time. Jin Chu suddenly laughed. He broke through Qin Mufeng's "secret" on the first day. Really, Jin Chu still finds it unbelievable. It is completely impossible to see that Qin Mufeng would fall in love early.

Jin Chu has been dominated by his own curiosity now. He only asked who Qin Mufeng was spending the New Year with on his front foot, and then wanted to ask about their love gossip on his heel. He felt that he had drifted away. , I heard it."

"Huh?" Qin Mufeng asked a question.

"Just when I transferred here, you stopped me. At that time, I felt that I was going to be silenced."

"Ah."

"..." It seems that there is no way to continue the conversation today. If you have a lot to say, you can't talk about it, and you can talk about it. Okay, it's time to end this topic.

It's not suitable for them to chat tonight, so let's go back quickly.

In the dark alley, the young man had a cigarette in his mouth, and occasionally took it off to flick the ashes. Qin Mufeng sent Jin Chu back, and he returned the same way, remembering what Jin Chu said just now, yes, that was the first time they had a relationship. in the case of.

However, he is different from Ai Mingrui and the others, and he should be different from Jin Chu. He can't be like Ai Mingrui and the others. He can find friends to chat with whoever he likes, with whomever he is with, and whoever he is apart from. He couldn't before, but now It is even more impossible.

There, Jin Chu took his glass by mistake, and he just watched him drink his own wine quietly. For a moment, Qin Mufeng even felt that this was very good, but no one noticed that at that time How erratic he was, he drank the rest of the wine at the place where Jin Chu drank.

He likes Jin Chu.

He likes Jin Chu.

And all of this, Jin Chu didn't know about it!

The cold wind was whistling, and the cigarette in his hand was burning very fast. In this alley, Jin Chu not only met him swearing on the phone, but also met him and Tan Zhengxuan. It was also here that he clearly told Tan Zhengxuan, He liked Jin Chu, but it was impulsive at the time, which made Jin Chu unintentionally act as a shield. Looking at it now, is that really the case? . "Tell me when you get home [Laugh.jpg]" was a WeChat message from Jin Chu.

Qin Mufeng threw away the burnt cigarette butt, and wiped his face with his hand.

The holy monk said, "Okay."

It's so cold.

When putting down the phone, I touched the gloves in my pocket. It seems that Jin Chu is going to live in his head tonight.

Jin Chu went back to his residence to wash up after sending Qin Mufeng a message, but now it has been 10 minutes since he finished washing, why Qin Mufeng hasn't sent him a message yet, although I don't know where Qin Mufeng lives, but Guancheng is so big, In 40 minutes, it's time to get home.

Wait a minute.

He took the "White Night Journey" on the table and lay down on the bed, read it and waited.

Kirihara disappeared, he left the store to Tomohiko and Tomohiko's girlfriend, he took all the darkness away, he disappeared completely, the pair of boys and girls he cut holding hands and standing in the sun quietly let go over there.

Kirihara has done all kinds of bad things and is ruthless. Although he uses Tomohiko, he always takes good care of him, and even when he leaves in the end, Tomohiko doesn't fall into darkness.

To Kirihara, there is no difference between day and night. He has only one wish "I want to walk during the day".

Jin Chu felt very depressed in his heart. There was never a person who made people feel distressed after doing all kinds of bad things like this.

Qin Mufeng received news at this time.

The holy monk "arrived home". "go to bed early"

The holy monk "I will pick you up at 12 o'clock tomorrow and go to the station." "OK, good night"

Holy Monk "Good Night"

When Qin Mufeng arrived home, grandma had already fallen asleep, and a warm-colored floor lamp was left on in the living room. He gently turned off the light and went up to the second floor, and quickly returned a message to Jin Chu when he returned to the bedroom.

Then go to the bathroom to wash up. The bathroom is in the room. The house is an old house that was built when my grandfather was there. The city has been closed for so many years. Although there has been some development, many old houses have been preserved.

In the [-]s, there was a strong earthquake in Guancheng, which caused many deaths and injuries. Later, for many years, earthquakes occurred from time to time. Grandpa spent a lot of thought on the design and materials when building this house.

Originally, the bedrooms of grandma and grandpa were also on the second floor, but later grandpa was gone and grandma was getting old. Considering the inconvenience of going up and down the stairs, grandma later moved the bedroom to the first floor.

Therefore, Qin Mufeng's late return will not affect grandma's rest.

Qin Mufeng lay down on the bed after washing and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply took his mobile phone and turned on Snake to play, and died within a few clicks.

He opened WeChat again, and clicked on Jin Chu's avatar. There was still no activity in Moments, only a sentence "I will always run after the sun's footsteps" was displayed under the avatar.

Qin Mufeng raised his eyebrows. It seems that he didn't say this before, did he say it out of feeling?
