you are different from the picture

On Christmas Eve, in addition to the rehearsal repertoire, the Le Xiao Zhou Yu Orchestra also played an extra piece of Haydn's quartet.

In the open space outside the auditorium, high-spirited students gathered in a circle despite the severe cold, the wind entangled the strings, the coldness turned into tranquility, the beautiful music flew into the air, and the people returning home could not help but slow down .

After having fun, Gu Yile hummed a ditty and packed up the instrument. A schoolgirl squeezed in from the crowd, ran up to him and said, "Senior, someone asked me to give this to you."

Looking at the square envelope in her hand, Gu Yile was stunned: "Who gave it to you?"

"A very tall man in a black coat." The school girl raised her hand to show her height, and added, "He's still very handsome."

"Is it from our school?"

"It doesn't seem to be, I haven't seen it before."

Gu Yile first ruled out a certain bastard in his mind, and then screened for a while, but did not match the description of the school girl with the relatives and friends in his impression.

On the other hand, when he was leaving the stage at the curtain call, he straightened up after bowing, and his eyes fell on a tall man in the last row by the door.For a moment of trance, Gu Yile always felt that he had seen this person somewhere, but unfortunately the light was too dark to see his face clearly, and he didn't remember the name of this person when he went backstage.

Maybe it was also entrusted by someone to deliver something?

He took the paper bag and opened it, and inside was a vinyl record from RCA, which was the Mendelssohn Little Symphony played by Heifetz.After signing up for the competition, he once announced that if he could get this version of Hai Ye's album, he would come back with the first prize and show it to everyone.

Gu Yile, who originally only wanted to focus on participation: ...

However, the joy of being able to receive the baby that I have been thinking about for a long time overwhelmed other worries. Gu Yile touched and touched the oil painting style cover, wishing he could fly home and play it on a record player now.

Then find out the person who gave him this, and kiss him twice!

He speeded up the tidying up, fastened the buckle on the neck of the violin, then closed the violin case indiscriminately, and walked away on his back.

After walking a few steps, Gu Yile felt something cold fall on the tip of his nose, and when he raised his hand to wipe it, it turned into water.

A girl exclaimed: "It's snowing!"

Looking up, fine white particles fell from the black sky. Gu Yile stared blankly for a moment, then immediately took out his phone and told the good news to the first person who came to mind at the moment.

When he received the short video from Gu Yile, Liang Dong had already returned to S City Airport, and there were still 5 minutes before boarding.

The light in the video was not enough, so I couldn't see anything clearly, but Liang Dong also felt happy when he heard Gu Yile's joyful voice.

"We rarely have such a heavy snow here." Gu Yile seemed to be emphasizing a very important thing, "There was no snow last year."

About two hours ago, Liang Dong watched Gu Yile play the violin, watched him step off the stage, and then walked around to the backstage from outside the auditorium. He saw him chatting happily with his friend and teacher from a distance, and did not step forward to disturb him.

After waiting for a while, the taxi driver called and said that there were traffic jams everywhere at this point, and it was just right to leave now to catch a plane. Liang Dong glanced at the time, then looked up, looked over the crowd at Gu Yile who was smiling, and handed over the gift he brought to him. A passerby who looked like a student at the door turned and left.

For the second time today, he regretted not wearing glasses. The glass windows in the airport are thick, and he can't see the outside situation.

He had no choice but to tell Gu Yile by voice: "It snows heavily every winter in City L."

"Are you showing off to me?"

"No, I want to show you."

Xu Shi felt that there were many uncertainties in the future, or he wanted to grasp the present more, so Gu Yile sighed and said, "It would be great if you were here."

Because of this sentence, Liang Dong even had the idea of ​​changing the ticket to tomorrow morning.

Didn't do that.His mother sent three messages in one night to confirm his location, and between the lines implied that he hoped that he would not make trouble this time and turn a blind eye to deal with the past.

In order not to make it difficult for his mother, Liang Dong boarded the plane to the capital on time, arrived at [-]:[-] a.m. capital time, and took the pick-up car arranged by his father.

The driver, Mr. Wang, was probably sleepy. He talked to Liang Dong in the back seat from time to time on the road: "Young master hasn't come back for a long time. The master, wife and miss miss you very much. Two days ago, I made dumplings during the winter solstice, and I was still talking about your favorite food. Pork stuffed with celery."

Liang Dong went abroad in his junior year, but because of his busy studies, he didn't go home during the holidays.

"One year and four months." He looked at the night scene outside the window that didn't change much, "It's not a long time."

When they got home, only Liang's mother was still awake, putting on her coat and waiting at the door.

"Your dad has been living there with your grandfather these few days." She welcomed Liang Dong into the door and said, "Yuan Yuan has been studying hard these days, so I let her go to bed first."

There was food left in the refrigerator, Liang Dong only drank some hot soup, Liang's mother asked if it was good, he nodded and said it was delicious.

"You've lost weight." Liang's mother's eyes turned red, "It's all your father's fault, who insisted on sending you abroad for asking you to study this laborious major."

Liang Dong put down the soup bowl: "I'm the one who wants to go abroad." After a pause, he said, "Mom, it's late, go to bed."

Before returning to the room, Liang's mother pulled him to ask some other questions.

I heard that he went to S City and saw Gu Yile, but because of time constraints, he put down the gift and left, Liang's mother finally showed a smile on her face.

"That's good too. You just met each other not long ago. Give each other some space. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Liang Dong and Gu Yile have known each other for 15 years. Instead of correcting what his mother said, "We haven't known each other for long", he solemnly asked his mother whether posting system expressions would really damage his image in the other party's heart.

Thinking of the advice she gave when helping to tie the strings, Mother Liang's smile deepened, and she patted Liang Dong's hand, which was more than a circle bigger than hers: "If he likes you, he will find everything you post cute."

So early the next morning, Liang Dong, who had finally caught up with Gu Yile, changed the format of saying good morning and sent [/太阳].

Today should be nervous: 【...not me? 】

Liang: [Yes. 】

Today should be nervous: [This expression... [hesitant to speak.gif]]

Liang: [What's wrong? 】

Today should be nervous: [Nothing[/Sun]]

Liang: [I thought being blocked at the time was related to using system emoticons. 】

Today should be nervous: [How come, I also use it myself[/scare]]

Liang: [It’s fine if it’s not. [/Smile]】

"Is this how you chat with him?" Liang Yuan, who was sitting at the same table with Liang Dong having breakfast, couldn't straighten up laughing, "No wonder I haven't chased him after so long."

"There is no delay, there is progress every day." Liang Dong said, "And we are already together."

He typed "The concert is over, you can change your name", and just as he was about to send it, a new message came first from the other side.

Today Yi is nervous: [Ah, it's only eight o'clock, I'll sleep a little longer [little pig snoring.gif]]

Liang Dong stopped, deleted the word, and sent an [/ok] emoji instead.

After a while, he clicked into Moments, confirmed that Gu Yile hadn't blocked him, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he firmly believes in the theory of energy conservation, when he was sitting at the dining table at his grandfather's house at noon, Liang Dong felt that his good luck had bottomed out today.

Ever since he entered the door, Grandpa didn't give him a good look, and sat in the wheelchair and stared at him: "You still know how to come back?"

Liang Dong said in his heart that it was you who asked me to come back. Thinking of his mother's instructions before he came, he only respectfully called "Grandpa" and said nothing else.

The more established a big family is, the less it likes to arrange too high-profile ostentation. This time, the Liang family's [-]th birthday banquet only set up a large round table and called a few immediate family members, of which more than half were grandchildren.

From the behavior of uncle and uncle serving the old man attentively, it is not difficult for Liang Dong to understand the purpose of this meal.

He thought it had nothing to do with him, sat quietly, and ate slowly.But the elders are really ignorant, and they have to take him along when they say anything.

"Our family, Xiaofeng, is going to take the MBA exam next year. After all, he is young, so there is no harm in learning more." After the uncle announced the news, he looked at Liang Dong, "I don't know how Xiaodong is doing recently? I heard that your major Take a side with the new materials that our R&D department is working on, and when you come back, are you interested in becoming a project manager?"

Just as Liang Dong was about to say no, the eldest aunt snatched the words: "Oh, Xiaodong is not willing to do any projects. If the second child hadn't stepped forward to change his professional direction, Xiaodong might be flying a plane in the sky right now."

The second child was Liang Dong's father, who was sitting with a gloomy expression at the moment, not saying a word.

After a few dishes were served, my uncle also spoke up: "Our family, Wanwan, is dating the eldest grandson of the Qian family recently. I brought him home a while ago for the old man to meet. Liang Dong will bring him back sometime to make grandpa happy. Happy?"

Liang Wan covered her lips with a smile: "Liang Dong is still young, so don't worry. Besides, it wasn't like the past two years... If you bring a boy back, let grandpa call you grandson-in-law or grandson-in-law?"

Faced with the words of guns and sticks, Liang Dong neither felt offended nor angry.

He only thought it was funny, a group of people with different thoughts surrounded him who had no intention of fighting, bragging about and wasting a table of exquisite dishes, it was a pity.

After dinner, Grandpa called him to the study to talk.

"It's been about three years since your father changed your major. Have you figured it out now?"

"I still think that was a wrong decision," Liang said.

Grandpa's condition is far better than expected, and he sneered loudly: "You agreed at that time, and you used a lot of money in exchange."

Liang Dong nodded: "Yes, so I keep my promise and study the major you arranged. I hope you can keep your promise and stop interfering with my freedom of marriage."

The not-so-harmonious feast was over, and on the way back, Liang Dong's father couldn't help scolding: "Grandpa gave you a step down, so you just have to keep your mouth shut."

Liang Dong didn't understand.

The profession arranged by his family was exchanged by him with other conditions of personal freedom. It is fair and equivalent. He has never complained about it in the past three years. Why do these elders mention it every now and then, and there are always words to overthrow it? Promised intent?

So Liang Dong didn't answer, ignoring those who didn't follow the rules and didn't make sense.

This is his way to avoid conflicts with others, even if he thinks that even if there is a real argument, he will definitely not lose.

It's a pity that his father not only didn't appreciate the concession he made for the family harmony that his mother longed for, but was also furious, and the reprimands spread all the way from outside to home.

With a long mouth, he can't speak, and he can only disobey his elders. He has a good skin and is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Liang Dong was sitting in his room, his voice came through the door.He had nothing to do and couldn't sleep, so he arranged the words that he had heard since he was a child, from light to rearranged.

Before going to the airport at night, his mother sent him to the door, took him by the hand and said, "Our Xiaodong is very good, handsome and smart. It's not a big problem to be socially awkward."

Seeing him get into the car, she bent down and said to him in the window: "Father and grandpa also like you, and they put their expectations on you, so they are so anxious."

But Liang Dong believes that the secret to stabilizing emotions is to minimize expectations of others.

For example, sitting alone in the waiting hall again, Gu Yile heard that he was going to be out of contact for more than ten hours, so he hurriedly sent a voice call.

This was a surprise for Liang Dong, after all, he was the one who sent out the voice invitation before.

"What kind of factory doesn't close for Christmas?" Gu Yile murmured dissatisfied, "It takes half a day to go there. Is this considered labor extraction?"

Liang Dong couldn't predict Gu Yile's reaction after learning that he had visited him, so he didn't say anything, and made up a lie not very good at it: "We have to hand in homework at the beginning of school, and everyone must go."

Gu Yile asked: "Do you not like this major?"

Liang Dong froze for a moment.

In his impression, he has never expressed his dissatisfaction with his major to anyone.

"Besides catching up with homework, I've never heard you mention your major, as if completing it is just a task." Gu Yile said, "I'm different. I want to be with music all the time, and I won't get bored at all."

It turns out that you don't need to dictate whether you like to do something or not, and you can be discovered by the other party.

"When I was young, I wanted to be a pilot," Liang Dong said.

"Isn't that a coincidence?" Gu Yile said, "I wanted to be a sprinkler driver when I was young!"

Although the connection between the plane and the sprinkler is probably only a means of transportation, Liang Dong is still happy to find something in common with Gu Yile.

"The sky is wide and you can fly far away."

"The earth is also very big. You can sing while sprinkling water."

In order to hear Gu Yile sing, Liang Dong made up another harmless little lie, ignoring the Christmas tree posted by his roommate Dong Junzhe in Moments, saying that the school did not organize Christmas activities.

Sure enough, he won Gu Yile's sympathy: "Ah, it's too pitiful, I have nothing to play, and I have to go to the factory."

"Yeah." Liang Dong said, "It's so pitiful."

Without hesitating for too long, Gu Yile announced, "Then let me sing you a song."

He thought for a while, and declared in advance: "You are not allowed to laugh at my substandard pronunciation... let alone fall asleep listening to it!"

There is a plane taking off outside the window, and the red signal light is flashing higher and higher in the night.

Next to my ear is Gu Yile's casual singing.

idon't want a lot for christmas

there is just one thing ineed

andidon't care about the presents

underneath the christmas tree

idon't need to hang my stocking

thereuponthefireplace

Even if he is not sensitive to music, Liang Dong knew what song it was from the very beginning.

On Christmas Eve, the song was played on loop in school cafeterias, supermarkets, and even on the bus to the airport.

But it didn't prevent him from listening to the version sung by Gu Yile as a brand new song.

i just wanna see my baby

standing right outside my door

ohi just want you form your own

Hearing this, Liang Dong thought of changing the ticket for the third time.

But he felt that it was not good to always lie, and this was beyond the category of white lies. It was he who wanted to go out of his own desire, not Gu Yile who wanted him to go.

He also didn't want Gu Yile to stop trusting him in the future.

After all, from a worldly point of view, he and Gu Yile are so destined.

When he returned home, he left in a hurry, and only had time to write a line on the back of the temporary gift he brought.

"alliwantforchristmasisyou", is the name of the song.
