The weather on New Year's Day was too cold, and the holiday was only three days away, so Hou Yi and the others never came back.Jiang Yu and Zi Luo went shopping in the past two days, ate hot pot that they hadn't eaten for a long time, and walked back and forth in Guqiao Park.

The two of them wore scarves around their necks, blowing cold wind near the park where no one was around.

"It's almost Chinese New Year." Zi Luo looked at the lights in the distance, "Our holiday is a few days later than yours, so don't run to pick me up again."

Jiang Yu's mouth shrunk: "Understood."

The day Zi Luo just returned, Jiang Yu received a courier. It was very big. After opening it, it was an apricot-colored cotton padded jacket. .

Yu: Did you buy it?

Fall: Put it on and shoot again

"..."

The two are similar in stature, and their clothes are about the same size from small to large.Jiang Yu looked at the person in the mirror, the apricot color made his skin whiter, he compared himself to the camera, and showed it to Zi Luo.

Not long after, Zi Luo also sent a photo, wearing the same style of black padded clothes, and compared himself in the mirror.

Looking at the photo, Jiang Yu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He put his hands in the pockets of his padded clothes and held them warmly.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, and one after another stalls on the street have begun to sell New Year's goods.Jiang Yu just came out of the laboratory, greeted her junior sister and went back to the dormitory.

Xie Mingyu expressed his opinion more than once on the fact that he entered the laboratory in the first semester of his freshman year. In his opinion, there was too little theory and knowledge involved in his freshman year, and entering the laboratory was a waste of time. Sister makes trouble.But after knowing each other for so long, he was sure that Jiang Yu's IQ was really much higher than theirs, and his learning ability was incomparable.

But he just felt that there were too many classes in the freshman and sophomore year, and if he entered the laboratory, he would really have no time to play.

Every time he said that, Jiang Yu ignored him, and Qin Tian always said that he was nosy.

Jiang Yu didn't think too much about it. He wanted to keep himself busy and live a more fulfilling life without Zi Luo around, so that he wouldn't have time to think about it.The sooner he enters the laboratory, it will be helpful for his graduation thesis in the future. Maybe he can concentrate on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination when others are busy with graduation experiments.

Those who prepare early will always have a smoother journey than others.

He wants to go faster.

The first snow of the year fell in City A. Zi Luo had just come down from Cheng Mingzhang's piano room, and when he looked up he saw the white snow falling all over the sky. He thought about what Cheng Mingzhang said just now, and stood there for a long time.

Cheng Mingzhang will start a national tour next year and intends to let him perform on stage together. It is too late to practice from now on.Since Cheng Mingzhang had accepted him as his apprentice, he naturally wanted him to be seen by more people on a bigger stage, Zi Luo understood this very clearly.

The phone vibrated and pulled back his thoughts. Zi Luo saw Jiang Yu sent a message.

The corner of his mouth raised, and after replying to the message, he took a picture of snowflakes falling from the sky, and clicked send.

Jiang Yu quickly sent a video call, and Zi Luo watched him take Sanbai for a walk, with the familiar Baihua Street behind him.A snowflake fell on the screen and melted, and Jiang Yu's face was slightly wet.

Zi Luo looked at him with a smile, raised her hand to wipe it clean.

He did not agree to Cheng Mingzhang, his answer was to wait.

Wait a minute.

Hou Yi had a holiday on the 6th, and was not in a hurry to return to Zhangcheng after the holiday. He traveled across half of City A to find Qiu Ning and the three of them, and made an appointment to go to University A together.

The exam is not over yet, Zi Luo runs back and forth in the classroom, self-study room, laboratory and the rented hut every day, and goes to the piano room where the inscription is made from time to time, and has no time to go out at all.He was about to leave with the book in his arms, when Shen Bin sent gossip: "There is a handsome guy downstairs!"

"I'm really convinced." Bai Yuancan said, "It's none of your business to have a handsome guy? People and girls are not as excited as you, and those who don't know think you are bent."

Shen Bin: "I also heard it from a girl. There are really handsome guys. There are quite a few of them, and they don't look like our department. Hey Ziluo, he didn't come here to look for you again, did he?"

Zi Luo had already gone downstairs, and when he turned the corner, he glanced at him and didn't answer.Because these days whenever Shen Bin sees a new face, regardless of gender, he thinks they are looking for him.

Not to mention anything else, just said "several people" to Shen Bin just now, and Zi Luo knew that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

But when he got downstairs, he was dumbfounded.

"Brother Luo!" Hou Yi waved at him, beside Qiu Ning, Shen Zilu and Wang Xia.

Zi Luo walked over: "Why do you have time to come?"

Although Qiu Ning has been in city A, but they are not in the same district, and they are both busy, so they haven't even seen each other in the past few months.The company that Qiu Ning signed is quite famous, and whenever there is an event, it is even more busy.

"It just so happens that there are no activities these two days, so I came to see you with Hou Yi." Qiu Ning changed a lot, wearing a hat and looking more handsome, he smiled brightly and looked at Zi Luo, "The exam is not over yet? Let's go on vacation soon." Alright."

Zi Luo said: "Tomorrow is the last day, after the exam, we will have a holiday."

Hou Yi listened to him and came over to take his shoulder: "Then let's go back together, I also bought the ticket for the day after tomorrow."

A few people walked towards the school gate, Shen Zilu said: "Why did your mother agree to let you play here for a week? You might as well find your girlfriend if you have time."

Hou Yi was silent for a few seconds without answering the question, discussing where to eat.

Zi Luo followed them to Xiaolongkan. There were a lot of guests and the surroundings were too noisy. The phone was always quiet. Zi Luo glanced at it and put it in his pocket.

Several people haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they meet, they can ask endless questions, and they can talk for a long time on one topic.Zi Luo listened, the topics basically revolved around the performances of Qiu Ning and the others. Hou Yi kept talking about what happened to him at school. After talking for a while, Qiu Ning looked at Zi Luo again and asked a question : "Is Jiang Yu okay?"

Zi Luo raised his chin slightly: "It's pretty good."

While speaking, Shen Zilu put the vegetables into the spicy soup: "Actually, studying medicine is pretty good, but it's too tiring."

"It's not tiring to learn anything." Wang Xia said, "But how did Jiang Yu go to the University of Medicine? I haven't heard him say that he wants to be a doctor before."

No one answered, Zi Luo looked down at the time, but didn't make a sound.Hou Yi took out his mobile phone to take a video, looked at the mobile phone energetically, Zi Luo glanced casually, and saw a familiar head portrait.

He froze for a moment and asked, "Who did you send it to?"

Hou Yi said: "Jiang Yu, show him and be greedy for him."

Zi Luo frowned indistinctly: "Withdraw."

"Ah?" Hou Yi looked at him, still holding the phone in his hand, "What's wrong?"

Zi Luo repeated: "Withdraw."

Hou Yi tapped his phone a few times in bewilderment, and raised his head embarrassingly within a few seconds: "...There is no way to withdraw it."

Zi Luo lowered her head and pinched her browbones, and sighed imperceptibly, Qiu Ning drank a few sips of water and didn't ask any more questions, but Hou Yi couldn't help it: "What's the matter, are you having a fight with him?"

"impossible."

"What's that for?"

Zi Luo pursed her lips and did not speak.

Zi Luo didn't receive a reply to Jiang Yu's message until after dinner.He picked up the phone and put it down again, thinking for a long time but didn't know what to send.

He didn't like this feeling, as if he was carefully considering the words and tone, for fear that the wrong word would make the other party unhappy. In the past, they didn't have to worry about these things when they chatted.

He didn't like the feeling of gradually growing distance.

It is impossible for the two people to say that there has been no change since they separated. Although they have told each other their whereabouts, they have not accompanied each other through the experience after all. He didn't want to admit it, but he still clearly felt that there was something quietly changing between the two of them, which couldn't be grasped, and the reason was unclear.

Really don't like it at all.

Zi Luo went home and read the book for a while, and when he was lying on the bed and was about to send a video to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu's message suddenly popped up.

Yu: I just got home and I went to make up lessons for Ji Wang

Yu: I saw the video Hou Yi sent me. Did you have dinner together today?

Yu: I want to eat too.I don't care, you will take me there next time

Zi Luo looked at the content and bent the corners of his lips in front of the screen.

He replied with one word: good

Encounter: Video

Zi Luo directly clicked on the video call, and Jiang Yu quickly picked it up. He has already had a holiday and is staying in the room at the moment, with a small night light turned on in the room.

He was neatly dressed, and Zi Luo looked at him: "Go wash and get into bed, it's cold today."

"Okay, wait for a while." Jiang Yu responded and stared at him, "The exam will be over tomorrow."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu smiled: "What a coincidence, my birthday is tomorrow."

Zi Luo's eyes were gentle: "Tomorrow, I will honestly stay at home and wait for me to go back. There is still time."

"It's a pity." Jiang Yu stared at him closely, "At zero o'clock...you just want to be by my side."

In the past, the two of them would be together on the night of the 12th, waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock sharp. This year is the first time they have separated.

Zi Luo pressed the corners of her lips: "It's okay, the video is also fine, go back and make up."

The next day, when the exam was over, Zi Luo went back to the hut to pack his luggage. The phone on the table rang. After pressing the answer button, he heard the other party say: "Hello, the air conditioner you bought has arrived in city A. Do you have time now? We will charge you for free." Install."

Zi Luo frowned: "I didn't buy an air conditioner."

There was silence for a few seconds: "The order was placed by a Mr. Jiang."

"..."

Zi Luo was also silent for a few seconds, the other party did not urge him, but was talking to other people in a low voice, and after a few seconds, he asked again: "We are already downstairs, is it convenient to go up and install now?"

"How long will it take to install?"

"Within half an hour."

Zi Luo thought for a while and said, "Come up."

After hanging up the phone, he sent a video call to Jiang Yu, but he never got through.The doorbell was rang, and after opening the door, two people in overalls were standing at the door. At this moment, a figure appeared suddenly, and Zi Luo couldn't even speak when he looked at the smiling face of that person.

The person who had chatted all night last night was standing in front of him with a big smile at this moment, Zi Luo opened his mouth slightly, but was preempted by that person: "Surprise!"

The staff had already entered the room, and Zi Luo looked at Jiang Yu, and finally realized: "...Didn't I say that you are not allowed to pick me up."

"I know." Jiang Yu said, "You said that I'm not allowed to take you home, but I just came here to give you a birthday present, and then we went home together on the way, it's different."

Zi Luo was defeated by his unreasonable words, and reached out to shake his hand: "Is the road still safe?"

Jiang Yu smiled at him: "Don't treat me like a child, can you? As the saying goes, once you're born and you're familiar with it, I remember the way."

Even so, Zi Luo still couldn't let go of his heart. He remained silent for a while with lingering fears, and said, "Actually, I don't want any surprises, just let me know that you are safe all the time, it's really too far away, I'm afraid of you..."

"I know, I know." Jiang Yu shook his hand, "I just want to go home with you."

Zi Luo looked at him silently.

"Besides, it's your birthday tomorrow. I thought about it and didn't know what to give, so I bought an air conditioner."

It is really rare to buy an air conditioner as a gift.When Zi Luo was helpless, he suddenly thought of something and was taken aback. Jiang Yu saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zi Luo looked at him: "The gift I bought for you should arrive by now."

"Ah, what gift?"

"...a guitar."

He was optimistic about this gift more than ten days ago. He thought that Jiang Yu would really stay at home and go out to get it as soon as the phone was answered. Come and find him.

Before Jiang Yu could be happy, his cell phone rang.

Zi Luo heard the voice of the owner of the guitar shop, and Jiang Yu said after hearing it, "I'm not at home...how about you let my mother, forget it."

Jiang Yu thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out where to put it. Zi Luo directly took the phone over and said to the man, "Go to the yard next to you and find a lady surnamed Xie to sign for it."

The air conditioner was installed within half an hour, the two of them went out to have a meal, and boarded the bus back to S city.The station is crowded with people, just like the Spring Festival travel rush.

The high-speed train was late, and the two of them sat in the waiting hall for about an hour. It was already dark outside, and Zi Luo was wearing a black padded jacket. Fearing that the river would be cold, he grabbed his hands into his sleeves.

He took out his phone and checked the time again.

This was the third time he checked the time, Jiang Yu asked, "Don't worry, the car will always come."

"I know." Zi Luo turned to look at him, and said after a moment of silence, "I just want to celebrate your birthday at home."

The ticket was at [-]:[-] p.m., an hour late, and it was probably midnight when I got home.

Left and right are too late.Jiang Yu pinched his fingers in his sleeves: "Actually, it doesn't matter. My trip is like celebrating my birthday."

Zi Luo looked at him for a while, then smiled helplessly.

It was almost twelve o'clock after arriving home, Jiang Yu told Xu Meiyin in advance that he would stay in the dormitory tonight, and he didn't want to go back to Baihua Street so late, so Zi Luo simply opened a room nearby.

The two were watching the night view on the balcony, but the winter weather was bad, the sky was gray, and the surroundings were deserted. They waited quietly for midnight.

Holding a cup of hot water in his hand, Jiang Yu whispered in the silent night, "Happy birthday."

Zi Luo reached out to hug him, put his chin on his shoulder, closed his eyes and murmured: "Another year..."

They are 20 years old this year.
