The weather was perfect, and it was raining as soon as we went out. The hospital was as busy as ever, and the wards on the third floor of the inpatient department were crowded with people.

Xu Nian saw this person for the last time before Xu Chengliang died.

Before Xu Chengliang died, his mouth was open, and he couldn't even finish his sentence. The sentence seemed to be stuck in his throat and he just couldn't get it out.When a person dies, it's really scary, hanging up and down, he looked at Xu Nian, tears streaming down his face, Grandma Xu threw herself on the side of the bed, crying, "Cheng Liang——"

He gasped.

More than ten years ago, I took nothing away, and ten years later, I still have nothing, I am alone, and in the end it is empty.

Xu Nian didn't have much affection for him, so she couldn't talk about picking up and letting go, but at the moment Xu Chengliang died, she suddenly felt that this man was quite pathetic. He had lived for decades, but he couldn't understand it. Turning around, coming and going in a hurry, living a busy life is meaningless.

The reason why Xu Chengliang wanted to get her forgiveness might be the discovery of his conscience, maybe it was the repentance of a dying person, or it might be other reasons, but in the end it had nothing to do with her.

Xu Nian hardly participated in the funeral, and took a symbolic leave to go back to the county. After all, he is the father in name. If he doesn't go back, the family's threshold will be leveled by the relatives who came to persuade him. On the 29th, Gu Rong arrived home and accompanied Xu Nian back to the county town to attend the funeral.

The funeral in a small place is simple, the ashes are buried in the loess, and it is over after eating two meals. Only a few close people really cry for Xu Chengliang, such as the eldest aunt Xu Grandma, and the others are the same as those who come here to gather. Big deal.

After the funeral, Qi Yongming brought a lawyer to the red brick house. Xu Chengliang left her a sum of money, more than 30 yuan. Xu Nian did not refuse. I don't want any of it for the old people of Xu's family.Xu Chengliang has been doing business abroad for so many years, and he originally made a lot of money, but unfortunately, he suffered a serious illness and left without enjoying it. Besides, he also left money for Xu's family, and Xu's mother also had money. Xu Nian doesn't care about the exact number.

On the second day after returning to Kuanbei Lane, Xu's mother came to the house with melons and fruits. She didn't bring anyone else, she sat on the sofa for a while, chatted with Gu Rong, and left without eating up.

In the following days, Xu Nian never saw these people again, and the matter was truly over.

Taking advantage of the end of the National Day, the reunited two first went to bring Bajin back, and then took the little guy out for a trip together.Traveling is a process of becoming more and more compatible. The time is sweet and lingering. Two people and one dog are very comfortable.Thirst for more than half a month and urgently needed a water irrigation package, Xu Nian and Gu Rong went back and forth in the water, until exhausted and exhausted, Gu Rong lay down on her to rest.

Since returning to China, Gu Rong really put his energy on other things, enrolled in photography classes, opened a studio, and the business was in full swing. Once upon a time.

Xu Chengliang became a passer-by in ordinary life, and did not bring the slightest follow-up impact on their lives.Towards the end of the term, the college conducts a cognitive internship. To put it bluntly, it is to visit companies and factories related to various majors. The 4th mechanical class is assigned to City B. Taking this opportunity, Xu Nian went to T University for a visit, and met him here. The big researcher brother I met at the centennial celebration.

Because of Professor Zhang's instructions, Xu Nian has been keeping in touch with this senior brother. The senior brother took her to meet a few people he knew well, and he didn't say it was a matchmaking, and she didn't know the identities of those people. Senior brother eats together.Among these people, two became Xu Nian's colleagues, but this was all later. Anyway, for Xu Nian at this time, it was just an ordinary meal, and she didn't have a chance to talk to those people at the dinner table. sentence.

After the cognitive practice is over, the second week after returning to school is the exam week, the 20th week is the course design week, and the course design defense is on January 1, the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, which happens to be Xu Nian’s 21st birthday.

She was the only one who excelled in the first round. Just after leaving the teaching building, white catkins floated from the sky.

Snowing.

City G has always had no snow, only in 08 when it snowed heavily. This is the second snowfall. She was walking on the asphalt road, and the snowflakes fell on her bare neck. It was suddenly cold, and she shrank her neck. , at this time the phone rang, and Gu Rong called.

She slid to the answer button, and a cold voice came from the phone: "Is it over?"

The snow fell more and more heavily, like a goose's feather in a few breaths, she raised her hand and brushed her forehead, and said as she walked, "It's just over, I'll be out soon, where are you?"

"back door."

Gu Rong drove to pick her up, the back door was closer to the dormitory building.

"I'll go back to the dormitory to pack my things first, and you'll wait a little longer," she said.

Gu Rong responded.

The other people in the dormitory hadn't come back yet, so they quickly put away the things they needed for the winter vacation. When they went out, they met one of the roommates and said hello.All the vegetation outside the dormitory building was covered with a thin layer of snow, and there were especially many people who stayed outside to watch the snow. They were all curious. Xu Nian walked slowly towards the back door, where Gu Rong and Ba Jin were waiting.

Bajin was very excited, wishing he could rush in immediately, but the school doesn't allow pets, so Gu Rong had to hold the silly dog ​​firmly, and when Xu Nian came up to him, it kept barking, cheekily hugging Xu Nian Rolling on the feet.

Xu Nian looked at Gu Rong and smiled, put the things into the trunk, bent down and touched Bajin's head, and took the leash.

"What are the arrangements for the winter vacation?" Gu Rong asked, brushing the snow off her hair.

Xu Nian sent Ba Jin to the car and said, "Stay at home."

Gu Rong stood still.

She closed the car door, turned around and boldly leaned over to kiss the corner of Gu Rong's lips, and added in a low voice: "I'll stay with you at home."

It was time to leave school, and there were people coming and going at the school gate, many students looked sideways, Xu Nian seemed to be invisible, his skin was thicker than a city wall, and after the kiss, he reached out and hugged Gu Rong tightly.

Gu Rong was startled, put his arms around her waist, and said softly, "A Nian, happy birthday."

The birthday gift is a picture book and a month's companionship.

The protagonist in the album is Xu Nian. The date is marked on the lower right corner of the paper. The earliest one was drawn in 15 years, but there is no specific month.

Xu Nian didn't ask too much, it's not a good habit to get to the bottom of it.

The snow fell suddenly and stopped until the [-]rd day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the day of Xiaonian. The continuous snowfall for many days did not make the snow pile up in this southern city. The snow melted very quickly, and the roads were wet. Yes, Shen Wan, Ji Ya and the others came over to spend the new year together, a group of people gathered in a yard, immediately making the quiet and deserted Kuanbei Alley lively.

Everyone barbecued and drank in the yard. The wind blowing in front of them was cold, but the area around the oven was warm. Under Shen Wan's fuss, everyone gradually became one.

Ning Zhouyi didn't come, she went to the United States. Mr. Ning's health is getting worse day by day, and now he is receiving treatment in the United States. She has to accompany her. She left in a hurry at that time, and there was no time to say goodbye to her friends.It is unknown who will win and lose in the family property dispute. It is said that she has a great chance of winning. Xu Nian doesn't understand this at all. She and Ning Zhouyi have become people in two worlds, and she doesn't know that Ning Zhouyi has ever had an affair with her. thought.

To Xu Nian, Ning Zhouyi can only be regarded as a friend.

A person will meet thousands of people in his life, and some of them will fall in love with you, or you will fall in love with them, but there are only two or three, or even one, who can really get together.

Life is not a TV series, and it is impossible to have a beginning and an end in every aspect.

But in Xu Nian's view, Gu Rong is her beginning and her end, from the beginning to the end.

After getting along for a while, Shen Wan has been able to adapt to Xu Nian's role change, and occasionally helps cover up, resisting the urging pressure from the Gu family and the Shen family, and takes Xu Nian back from time to time to improve his presence, in the name of cultivating feelings.

She was dressed very auspiciously today, her whole body was covered in bright red, while turning over the barbecue, she asked Xu Nian, "A Nian, are you leaving for the Chinese New Year?"

Xu Nian shook his head: "Probably not, I will go back to the county to have a look in advance, and stay here during the Chinese New Year."

The girl snorted, and suddenly approached, and whispered, "Alone?"

Xu Nian was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't considered this issue, and said, "Let's see when the time comes."

When the time comes, it will all depend on Gu Rong's wishes. Gu Rong should come back and plan to celebrate the New Year together with the two of them.

With crooked eyebrows and eyes, Shen Wan pushed her elbow and said in a low voice, "How about coming to our house to celebrate the New Year? I've already told my parents, and I told my grandparents the day before yesterday that everyone asked me to take you In the past, it was lively when there were many people, are you coming?"

Everything is ready for feelings, Xu Nian has no room to refuse.

Sister Wan, who was at the side, heard their chat and teased: "Why didn't you invite us in Wanwan, it's too partial!"

The rest of the people all smiled, thinking that the two sisters had a good relationship, and didn't think about anything else, let alone contacting Gu Rong.

Today's sister Wan has already come out of the broken relationship. At first, she was depressed for a while, but now she has nothing to do. The relationship comes and goes quickly, and she will slowly recover after being alone for a while.Tang Minzhi's wedding was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. None of them received the invitation, not even Xu Nian. The other party made up their minds to separate themselves from Miss Wan.

Sister Wan was like a normal person, but she was very silent when she was half drunk, her energy and energy were gone, and she looked extremely decadent.

Xu Nian didn't understand what she was thinking. Since she was reluctant, why didn't she get her back? It's not about non-marriage. Marriage is a matter of time. Why bother so much at what age you get married, and put yourself in shackles, why bother.But she didn't say these words, everyone has their own ideas, and Sister Wan must know these reasons, but what to do still has to be done according to everyone's wishes.

The night of the new year belonged to the two of them. Gu Rong was usually busy, and Xu Nian was quite restrained, but now that he was free, he became unrestrained. He stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour, and then went back to the big room to continue. The stock in the drawer Not enough, the two of them didn't use z sets in the end, they really accepted and felt each other.

Comrade Bajin ate too much, and lay down in the soft doghouse to take a nap, and the intermittent, big and small joyful shouts next door made him move his ears in surprise, his big black eyes rolled around, and his eyes were full of surprise and joy. Confused, the voice was familiar, and it knew who it belonged to, so it got up from the nest, trotted to the wall to listen, and after confirming it, wanted to go over and have a look, but unfortunately the door was locked and couldn't get out, so it barked at the door twice voice, and no one answered.

It was a little anxious, jumped up and knocked at the door, but it was useless, fortunately Xu Nian had taught him, so the silly dog ​​didn't bark.

In the next room, because the curtains were drawn and the lights were turned off, the room was dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. The bed was covered in red.

In the next night, it finally calmed down.

The two people in the small room embraced each other and slept, while Comrade Ba Jin next door was tired from jumping and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The next day was fine and sunny.

Before I knew it, the food street next door had been built, and it was expected to open on the eighth day of the first lunar month. This matter had little to do with Xu Nian, but the neighbors in the neighborhood were very concerned. No matter where I went, I could hear people talking about it. Auntie’s family on the opposite side borrowed money to set up a place in the food street, and planned to join a certain brand to sell lo-mei. There are still several neighbors like Auntie’s.

On the twenty-seventh day, Xu Nian took Gu Rong to Li County to visit Grandma Xu. The tall and good-looking two attracted a lot of stares as soon as they returned. They ate at the aunt's house. Entertain Gu Rong.

After dinner, everyone sat and chatted together, Xu Nian hesitated for a while, and formally introduced Gu Rong to everyone, this is her girlfriend.

Although same-sex marriage is now legalized, it does not mean that everyone can accept same-sex couples without any grievances, let alone in a small place like a county town.

Grandma Xu hadn't turned the corner at first, and the old man didn't understand these things. Xu Nian explained to her that they are people who want to live together and live a lifetime.She was a little shocked, looked at Xu Nian, then looked at Gu Rong, her eyes filled with tears immediately, a trace of hesitation appeared on her withered face full of frowns, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and pulled Gu Rong to say: "It's good." Yes, it's pretty good..."

She might not be able to accept it, but she knew that the Xu family owed Xu Nian, as long as Xu Nian lived well.

The uncle and aunt didn't say anything, and they didn't object.

Before leaving, the Xu family sent the two of them out and gave them two bags of cured meat. Grandma Xu seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say it. Xu Nian understood what she wanted to say, and it was nothing more than about Xu Chengliang. Pretending not to know from beginning to end.

On the way back to the city, Gu Rong pondered for a long time, and asked, "You blame you..." After a pause, he changed his words, "Do you blame him?"

He, of course, was referring to Xu Chengliang.

Xu Nian shook his head with a natural expression: "It's not really a complaint."

After thinking about it, he said, "I complained when I was a child, but I can't do it now."

"Do you want to go to the New District during the Chinese New Year?" Gu Rong asked, watching the road and driving, usually there is not much traffic on this road, probably because the Chinese New Year is coming, the number of cars has doubled.

Shen Wan asked this before, and Xu Nian responded, "Yes, fine."

Gu Rong must go back home during the Chinese New Year, if she doesn't go, then Gu Rong will have to run away, anyway, it's too cold and quiet alone, it's good to be with everyone in the past.Now she has a good understanding of Gu's mother's attitude, and the other party has no intention of objecting. Although she is lukewarm to her, it's okay. What I have to do now is to get along with her more.

After twenty-seven and twenty-eight comes May Nine, and it’s about halfway through the winter, the rest of the white snow hits the sky, and the whole city of G is covered in white, the snowy day is cold and cold, the cold wind is like a knife, after lunch , Xu Nian accompanied Gu Rong to the studio. Tomorrow is officially a holiday, and there will be a lot of work to be done today.

The first time Xu Nian went back there, she didn't know the staff, and the staff didn't know her either. The only person who was a little familiar was Yan Xu.

Gu Rong is the number one in the studio, Yan Xu is the second in command. This person resigned from all his jobs before September, and now he puts all his heart and soul here. Seeing Gu Rong bring Xu Nian in, he challenged him meaningfully. Eyebrows grinned, clicked twice, and asked the little assistant to take good care of him.

"The things to be busy today are quite complicated, so I can only make your little girlfriend wait longer." He joked, turned to Xu Nian, and asked with a smile, "Then shall I take him away first?"

Being teased like this, Xu Nian was still a little embarrassed, glanced at Gu Rong, and nodded.

"If you need anything, ask someone, or call me, and I'll come back to you later." Gu Rong whispered.

"I know, you go first, I'll wait for you here." Xu Nian said.

Things were tight and time was tight, so Gu Rong and Yan Xu went to work first, and the little assistant took Xu Nian to wander around the studio.The studio is located on the edge of the city, belonging to the West District. It is a two-story minimalist building with a work area, a rest area... everything is available. There are about [-] staff members, all of whom are divided into tasks in an orderly manner, and everyone is working on it. I don't have time to take care of them when I have things in my hands.

Everyone didn't know about her relationship with Gu Rong. Some people thought she was a new model. After all, Xu Nian was tall and in good shape, and Gu Rong never brought other people to wait for her. Because she was busy, they didn't talk to Xu Nian.

Holly and some unknown trees were planted outside the small building. Xu Nian sat in the rest area and looked down. The glass windows separated the inside of the house from the outside. Bai Bai, the little assistant introduced a lot about the studio. Considering Xu Nian's special nature, she took special care of Xu Nian.

After four o'clock, Gu Rong came over and sat with him for more than ten minutes. The two didn't even speak a few words, and an employee came over and called him away.Xu Nian sat in the rest area all afternoon. In the evening, he ate a sumptuous takeaway with everyone. The takeaway was ordered by Gu Rong. There were all kinds of dishes, and the taste was relatively light.

The atmosphere in the studio is harmonious, there are not so many twists and turns, the employees are more respectful to the cold Gu Rong, and no one dares to tease her, but they get along very well with Yan Xu, and they laugh constantly after the meal.

Xu Nian sat next to Gu Rong, not talking much at all.

These two are stuffy, they don't like to make noise or talk, and they are very cold.

An employee whispered to Yan Xu who Xu Nian was and which company he belonged to.

Yan Xu laughed immediately, and told everyone directly: "That's your little boss, boss Gu's girlfriend, a top student from G University, not here to work."

The employees were all slightly surprised, especially the person who asked the question.

Because of this, in the following time, Xu Nian has been secretly scrutinized by others.

Yan Xu sat next to them, chatting and eating.

Some people still need to work overtime for one or two hours before the matter is finished, but most of them pack up their things and leave after eating, anxious to go home for the New Year.

The little assistant had something to do, Xu Nian waited alone in the rest area, and people came to chat with her from time to time, but they were all insignificant.Gu Rong sent a message, telling her that she could leave at eight o'clock at most.

At 07:30, Ji Ya drove over. The store was closed early. She came to see how the progress was going. The items sold in the store are all produced by the studio. Some of the employees in the studio were originally from the store. designer.

The snow outside did not know when it stopped.

Gu Rong was just busy with work and hadn't cleaned up the table when there was a knock on the door, and Ji Ya opened the door and came in.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes. Before leaving, Ji Ya gave Gu Rong a women's cigarette, which was still the same one as before.

Gu Rong took it, but still didn't smoke. Ji Ya ordered it for herself, took a breath slowly, and asked with a smile: "I was more addicted than me before, so why don't you stop smoking if you don't smoke?"

Gu Rong held the cigarette and said nothing for a while, "It took a while to quit."

Ji Ya looked at her, went to the trash can to shake the ashes, and said bluntly: "Your sister read it countless times but didn't listen, and suddenly wanted to go?"

"Well," Gu Rong responded, "Suddenly I don't want to smoke anymore, so I quit."

As for why she suddenly didn't want to smoke anymore, she still didn't explain.Ji Ya was curious, but she didn't ask too many questions. She smoked the cigarette in her hand, wiped out the sparks, and left without saying hello.

Going out and passing by the rest area, Ji Ya was a little dazed when she saw Xu Nian sitting in front of the glass window. The appearance of this energetic student reminded her of someone. Passed away, annihilated in the long river of time, she clenched her hands unconsciously, and said, "You can pass by."

Hearing the sound, Xu Nian turned around and stood up immediately.

Before she could speak, Ji Ya went downstairs carrying her bag without saying a word.

Xu Nian was slightly puzzled, walked towards Gu Rong's office, pushed the door open and entered, the smell of smoke wafted into his nostrils, Gu Rong was arranging things, saw the long and thin cigarettes on the corner of the table, it looked familiar, and immediately realized that the cigarette Ning Zhouyi gave her earlier That's it.

Not only are these people on good terms, they even smoke the same brand of cigarettes.

"Wait another 2 minutes," Gu Rong said, "Sit down for a while."

Xu Nian hummed, but he stood still and did not move. Instead, he glanced at the cigarette. The rose on the cigarette end was delicate and charming. It was a bit longer than ordinary cigarettes. It was very beautiful. Curious, but thinking of what Gu Rong said, he narrowed his eyes.

After Gu Rong finished tidying up, the two of them did not leave immediately, but went to the balcony next to them to get some air. Drilling straight to the bone, I shrank my neck in excitement.

It was cold, and her breath was all white. She leaned closer to Gu Rong, and stretched out her hand from the cuff to hold him.

Gu Rong's hand was as cold as ever, she held it quickly, helped to rub it a few times, and muttered: "Remember to wear more clothes tomorrow, it's really cold, don't catch a cold."

The other party didn't speak, and looked straight at her, with scrutiny and mockery in his eyes.

Xu Nian was thin-skinned at this time, so he turned his face away.

The cigarette on the table was caught between Gu Rong's fingers, she held it in her mouth, lit it, took a puff skillfully, and then leaned over.

Xu Nian tasted the smell of smoke for the first and last time.
