years and years

The gala has already started, and Shuci is still drinking porridge.The grandpa and grandson sat in front of the sofa and watched TV together. Unable to hold back, Shuci took out his mobile phone to send a message to You Yezhi.

Word: Watch the Gala

.: It’s boring, I don’t want to watch it.

As you know, Shuci finished the porridge in one gulp, got up and went to the kitchen, and before getting his hands wet, he replied: "Look, after all, it's Chinese New Year, and I'm watching it too."

While washing the dishes, the other party only replied with a series of ellipses.

Shuci clicked his tongue, wiped his hands and turned off the light, walked back to the living room and sat down.

Ci: Have you read it?

.: looked at

Obviously forced to do nothing, Shuci can almost imagine You Yezhi's expression.He couldn't help laughing out loud, bowed his head and started typing.

Ci: Has the snow stopped?

.:No

It's past eight o'clock in the evening, Shu Ci thought about it, put down the phone and peeled oranges for Mr. Mu to eat.Mu Lao felt sour and refused to eat, so he could only stuff the words into his mouth.

The evening party was put on a sketch, and Shuci knocked on the melon seeds, laughed, pointed to the TV and said, "Jia Ling is still so interesting."

Elder Mu almost gave him a squinting glance, thinking in his heart that this is probably the show you really watched, and the rest of the time he just kept his head down and played with his phone.

"It's quite interesting." Mr. Mu followed him for a while, and said, "Stop chatting with others, aren't you afraid that you will be annoyed?"

The diction was inexplicable, and he looked back at Mu Lao: "How is it possible? How could he find me annoying."

Mr. Mu snorted coldly, and said, "In the few days since you came back, I've watched you a few times, and I don't know if you think you have someone to talk to."

Shuci's heart tightened, and he blurted out: "Two men's talk..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Shu Ci looked back at Mu Lao in fear.How could he have forgotten, his grandfather is gay!

Elder Mu ignored him, and continued to ask: "I don't think you are annoying, why do I still like you?"

This is really a question from the soul. I almost bit my finger while eating melon seeds in Shuci, and I didn’t see anything while staring at the TV.His eyes fluttered for a long time, not knowing how to answer this question.

Mr. Mu sighed, and stopped asking, thinking to let nature take its course, this matter cannot be forced.

The gala is over, and the snow outside the house has been snowing for the whole afternoon, and there is no sign of it going to stop. Shuci thinks that when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he may still be able to have a snowball fight.

When he returned to his room, he opened the window regardless of whether the air-conditioning would blow in or not.

Shuci returned to the bed, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, he swiped through Moments, and all of them were sharing the New Year's Eve dinner, all with words Happy New Year, old-fashioned and boring.

He pressed back. Although he said it once, he wanted to say it again.

Words: Happy New Year, You Yezhi.

The room was dark, only one room was lit. You Yezhi looked at the heavy snow outside through the glass. When the phone rang, he lowered his head to look. , The smiles increased again and again.

.:Happy New Year.

He hasn't said these four words for many years.

Shuci recorded a video of heavy snow falling outside, and the editor said: When I was young, I could still set off fireworks. I used to look up at this time.

You Yezhi slowly lay back on the bed, and replied: "It's snowing, you can still look up with your head up."

Shuci smiled foolishly and asked: What are you doing?

You Yezhi: Just like you, watching the snow.

The apex of the heart became hot, and Shu Ci's breathing became lighter——

Ci: Actually, I still want to watch fireworks with you.

Shuci knew that You Yezhi would not return in a short time, so he clicked on his circle of friends and wrote a picture of Goose Feather Heavy Snow outside.

You Yezhi looked at the circle of friends, his eyes were sore, and his chest was hot.

——Happy New Year, I hope everyone can watch the fireworks with the people they like.

……

The soup was boiled in the pot, and the aroma was gurgling.Nian Nian watched his mother pour drinks for him and Sui Sui. The mother, father, and grandma sat together for the New Year's Eve dinner as a whole family.

With light make-up on her face, the mother clapped her hands and said, "Happy New Year everyone, we are one year older at Sui Sui and Nian Nian, and my mother hopes that Sui Sui will gradually get better and take on the responsibility of being an older brother every year." Responsibility, protect brother, understand?"

Nian Nian looked up at her mother, she was smiling, but Nian Nian discovered what was hidden behind that smile.

He looked down, thinking, lying.

Will Sui Sui get better slowly?Don't lie, how long can he live.

Nian Nian glanced at the person sitting beside her, her body was still thin and weak, if she stood outside in the heavy snow for a while, she would probably be unbearable and come back sick for a few days.

Suisui doesn't understand anything, and he also hopes that his illness will get better soon, so that his brother won't dislike him.

"Brother." Sui Sui raised his head cautiously, and said to Nian Nian, "Happy New Year."

Sui Sui clenched his hands into fists, looked away, and replied, "Idiot."

Let's eat, eat one meal and one less meal, maybe one day there will be nothing to eat.

You Yezhi's body curled up into a ball, the heating was turned on in the room, his back was sweating, his hands tightly grasped the fabric on his chest, and he opened his eyes in extreme discomfort.

The snow stopped outside, I don't know if there is any snow.

...Is it tit for tat after all?

Mr. Mu said he was going to eat dumplings at Uncle Li's house today, so Shu Ci went to pay New Year's greetings with his shopping in the evening.The orphanage is not far from here, but it is not easy to take a taxi during the Chinese New Year, and the things in his hands are heavy, so he is exhausted by himself.

The orphanage has been repainted and looks more grand than ever.The snow in the yard was swept aside, Shu Ci approached and saw a snowman by the wall with a carrot nose.

He is too familiar with this place. He has been running around in the yard since he was a child, chasing and bullying people from the first floor to the second floor. Auntie couldn't control him, so Uncle Dong came out to chase him himself.

Shuci pushed the door open, and someone shouted, "Uncle Dong!"

Dong Chengyan was sitting in the room watching TV, startled by the voice, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out of the corridor to look down, and saw an extremely familiar figure.

"Yo, who is this?"

Shuci chuckled twice, took a few steps up the stairs, entered the room and put down his things: "Happy New Year, let's come and see you. How are you doing? Are you still losing your hair?"

There is no need to ask this question, Dong Chengyan is already in the Mediterranean.Sure enough, Dong Chengyan began to reprimand him after hearing this: "Stinky boy, the way of greeting is still so special. Where's your grandfather?"

"Grandpa will be here later." Shuci walked inside, sat down on the sofa, looked around again, and asked, "Where's Aunt Xu?"

"Your aunt Xu has gone back to her mother's house, and she won't come back for dinner tonight."

Shuci said cheerfully, "Okay, you can drink again if Aunt Xu isn't here at night."

Saying that he was heartbroken, Dong Chengyan touched the hair that was about to fall out.Shuci couldn't sit still, so he went out and wandered around, and found that most of the children were sleeping, and a few of them were watched by aunts watching TV.

I haven't been here for a few months, and there are a few new faces.Shuci opened the door and went in. The aunts there recognized him and greeted him with a smile. Shuci looked at the children one by one and asked, "Who are they?"

"I just came here last month." Auntie couldn't say too much in front of the child.

Shuci nodded, looking at the five or six-year-old appearance of these children, he really couldn't understand why.Before he could speak, a girl's sweet voice came from behind——

"Brother Shuci!"

Shuci turned his head and saw Weiwei with two braids running towards him, he knelt down to catch her, and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you in a few months, Weiwei has gained weight."

Weiwei tilted her head and smiled: "Auntie's cooking is delicious, and she even said to eat dumplings at night!"

"Is that so? Maybe I should eat more."

Auntie watched and smiled, and ran out just after waking up: "How long can Brother Shuci stay here?"

Shuci coaxed her and pinched her face: "Maybe I will stay for many days, are you happy?"

Weiwei nodded heavily: "Happy!"

"Come on, come with me to get delicious food and distribute it to other children."

Shuci bought a lot of things, not only to give Dong Chengyan a gift, but mainly because he wanted to bring them to the children in the orphanage.He grew up here since he was a child, and he has long regarded this place as his home.

It was getting dark, the lights were turned on in the yard, and the children were playing snowball fights in the yard while they were waiting for dinner. They were laughing and joking, and Shuci was watching for a long time in the corridor on the second floor.

He took out his phone, found You Yezhi, and started editing.

Ci: Have you eaten?

You Yezhi had just taken a shower and didn't blow his hair. He heard the phone ring and glanced at it.

.:not yet.

Ci: What are you going to eat?

.: I don't know yet.

You Yezhi's culinary skills are so good, he will definitely not starve himself, Shu Ci thought to himself, don't ask such nonsense.He recorded a video for a few seconds, showing children chasing and playing in the yard.

.: The orphanage where you grew up?

Ci: Yes, I have to look at it every time I come back.

The other party didn't reply, probably because he didn't think the topic was very good, so he didn't bring up the diction again, and changed the subject to ask: Are you bored at home?

What is boring, You Yezhi thought.

He struggled with that suit every day, which he rarely did when designing for clients.After hanging up the towel, You Yezhi went back to the table and sat down, and opened the notebook.

Shuci saw that the other party had sent a drawing, and zoomed in to see what it was. He didn't think much about it, and asked: Why do you have to work during the holiday? Can you give yourself a rest?

In fact, he wanted to say that if you are bored, come to S city, show you the place where I grew up, and then show you my grandfather, but when You Yezhi posted the design, Shuci instantly understood that this person couldn't get away up.

.: This is more urgent.

Shuci thought to himself which client is this so good at taking care of others, but he can't control it, so he can only tell him to pay attention to rest and eat on time.

The style has been settled, but the shape still needs to be changed. The most important thing is how to design the suit so that it does not look so monotonous.You Yezhi put on his glasses and stared at the computer screen, then picked up the coconut milk beside him and put it to his mouth.

"Ding dong——" the doorbell rang, and You Yezhi was slightly taken aback, hesitating whether to open the door or not.

After all, only his father and He Jianqi know that he lives here, and You Yezhi knows that his father will not take the initiative to come, so there is only one possibility——

You Yezhi opened the door, and He Jianqi stood outside the door, holding a thermos bucket in his hand.

As if what happened last time had never happened, He Jianqi was natural, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Ye Zhi, Happy New Year, have you eaten yet?"

You Yezhi looked at him with a calm expression, without moving or making a sound, and slightly raised his eyebrows.

He Jianqi picked up the thermos bucket in his hand: "I probably didn't eat it, I made soup and stir-fried vegetables myself, and brought you some."

As he spoke, he passed You Yezhi gently and walked into the living room, opened the thermos: "I'm afraid you won't eat on time, come here quickly, it's still hot."

You Yezhi closed the door, still holding the coconut milk in his hand, slowly raised his steps and walked towards him.

He asked, "Why did you come?"

With a smile on his face all the time, He Jianqi took off his coat and scarf, and looked at him: "Come and see you, you haven't eaten my cooking for a long time."

You Yezhi looked at him, and asked again: "You know what I'm asking."

This is an unavoidable question, the smile on He Jianqi's lips froze for a few seconds, he took a few steps towards You Yezhi, called him, and said: "Ye Zhi, if you are willing to speak, I am willing to listen, if there is a way I will do my best to help you."

You Yezhi clenched the bottle in his hand and looked at him silently.

"I hope you don't push me away, I..."

"I said that the other day." You Yezhi interrupted him.

He Jianqi was taken aback, stood there looking at him, then looked down at the bowl of soup on the table, and remained silent for a long time.

"It's useless, I can't help you, so don't talk about it, okay?"

He Jianqi didn't answer, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him.After a few seconds, he said, "Can you go to the hospital with me?"

You Yezhi took a few steps back and said, "You don't believe it?"

"I--"

This is really unbelievable.

You Yezhi returned to his room, just like that time, leaving He Jianqi alone in the living room.He sat on a chair and stared at the computer screen for more than ten minutes, his expressionless face finally changed at the hour.

He couldn't let others see him like this, the pain made him look like a dog, and he suppressed it hard not to let himself make a sound.

You Yezhi covered his heart, his forehead was covered with sweat, he didn't dare to breathe, his face turned red.

He kept looking at the suit on the screen, soon, the design was almost finished.

—— "Then did you pay back your birthday?"

——"What are you doing, one year old and one year older, that's all."

Although You Yezhi had crossed out the matter of "birthday" from his life, and he didn't know that Shuci would not celebrate this birthday, but he really wanted to give Shuci a birthday present.
