Spring Summer Autumn Winter

"No, no, no, I really can't eat anymore..." Yang Siyuan waved his hand after taking a sip of tofu and said, "Your bun is too big!"

Li Yu'an originally had a smaller appetite, and ate very sadly. He frowned and said, "I thought you wouldn't buy it..."

Seeing that there was only one sip left in Yang Siyuan's bowl of tofu nao, he wanted to take it and finish it off. Although he didn't drink two sips from his own bowl, at least there was still a little left.But just as he stretched out his hand, Yang Siyuan stopped him and said, "Hey! What are you doing... burp. Didn't I tell you that you drink millet porridge, how can there be millet porridge to nourish your stomach. "

When the wrist touched Yang Siyuan's palm, warmth surged unscrupulously up the arm, making Li Yu'an's blood flow faster.In fact, Li Yu'an himself couldn't tell whether this exaggerated reaction was due to his hands or his words.

Withdrawing his hand, he squeezed the straw of millet porridge and took two sips. He murmured, "Thank you. I haven't had a stomachache for a long time."

He lowered his head, and his voice was surprisingly small, as if any louder voice would shatter something.

Yang Siyuan glanced at his ecstatic eyes and smiled silently.

The two of them packed up the remaining steamed stuffed bun, half a bowl of tofu nao, and a cup of millet porridge, and rested for a while to digest, before rolling up their sleeves and getting down to business.

Li Yu'an had already carried the kettle to the yard earlier, and now he went to the boiler room and took out a large porcelain basin, which he wanted to clean under the faucet.

In winter, cats and dogs are all keen on growing fur. Xiaobengda was originally a long-haired puppy, but now he has grown a lot of fluff to survive the winter, and he has been fed by Li Yu'an to gain weight. Let's see It looks like a furball.

The puppy seemed to know what the two humans were going to do, and resisted it very much, whining and running all over the yard.Yang Siyuan was coaxing it, but when he saw that Li Yu'an was about to flush it with a basin, he quickly said "Hey" twice to make him stop.

Li Yu'an bent over, with one hand still resting on the faucet, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Yang Siyuan looked at him like a fool, pointed to the faucet and said, "Brother, it's cold!"

Of course the water was cold, Li Yuan was stunned and didn't quite understand what he meant.

"It's winter! Are you afraid of finger arthritis?" Yang Siyuan almost laughed out of helplessness.

Li Yuan froze.

He hadn't really thought about it.

It has been almost 20 years, and I have never thought that it is best not to wash things in cold water in winter.

Of course, no one reminded him of such a thing.

How poor is your life?

Seeing that Li Yu'an was settled there, Yang Siyuan didn't care about the puppy, ran up to take the big porcelain basin, and muttered while receiving cold water: "Why do you not cherish such pretty hands, really."

Li Yu'an couldn't hear clearly, but only vaguely heard that he seemed to say that his hands were beautiful, and his ears turned red immediately, and he turned his hands away.

"Pour some hot water in." Yang Siyuan didn't look at him, just squatted on the ground and said.

Li Yu'an came back to his senses, carried the kettle over and poured it in.

I saw Yang Siyuan stirred it twice with his hand, tested the temperature of the water and said: "More."

Li Yu'an obediently fell down a little more, and stopped only when he heard Yang Siyuan say "Okay".

Yang Siyuan squatted on the ground with one leg, supported the side of the basin with one hand, and wiped the dirty side of the basin with warm water with the other.

"You...don't use your hands, let me find you a rag." Li Yuan said.

"No, no, just wash your hands later."

In fact, Li Yu'an meant that the basin wall was very rough, and he was afraid that he would scratch his hands, but obviously Yang Siyuan didn't understand what he meant.

Li Yu'an didn't speak anymore, and stood motionless, looking down at Yang Siyuan.

He washes very seriously.

The veins on his arms were evident.

He got a little wet on his sleeve.

His eyelashes fluttered.

His hair has really grown.

There's an obvious spin on the back of his head...

For some unknown reason, Li Yu'an fixed his eyes on the circle on Yang Siyuan's head, and unconsciously traced that arc in the air with his index finger...

then……

He traced it to the top of Yang Siyuan's head.

Yang Siyuan paused for two seconds, then slowly raised his head.

Li Yu'an poked Yang Siyuan's head with his right index finger, and moved it to his forehead as he raised his head.He also slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Siyuan.

Yang Siyuan: "..."

Li Yu'an: "..."

"Aren't you naive!" Yang Siyuan burst into laughter, and slapped Li Yu'an's hand away, splashing a lot of water on the two of them.

Li Yu'an withdrew his sinful hand at a loss, blushed and said, "I'll coax it..." Then he turned around and ran to catch the dog again.

Yang Siyuan was tired, so he squatted on another leg, continued to wash the porcelain basin, and tilted his head unconsciously to look at the person and the dog.

Li Yu'an is so stupid that even a dog can't coax him.

The more you watch it, the more interesting it is, and in the end it turned into a laugh that even Gai couldn't cover.

After tossing for a while, the two of them pushed the dog into the basin, and immediately the water became three-point black.Yang Siyuan let out a "huh" and looked at Li Yu'an playfully.Li Yu'an ignored him and concentrated on finding fleas for the puppy.

"What are you doing?" Yang Siyuan asked after watching his subordinates move.

"Catch lice."

Yang Siyuan couldn't hold back, he laughed, and said, "It's no wonder you can strangle to death, come on, come on, do it like this, squeeze with the nails of two thumbs..."

He lowered his body a bit, stretched out his hands and reached forward to show Li Yu'an a demonstration.

When he approached, Li Yu'an thought that he would retreat subconsciously. After all, he had always been like this, and he was not used to the close behavior of others.

But he didn't.

He sneaked a glance at Yang Siyuan, then stretched out his hand, earnestly learning from him.

"When I was young, I really wanted to raise a dog... My parents didn't let me. Old Qin's family used to have one, and I often helped that little dog catch lice. Hey, you built this nest in the corner, let me tell you this It's too big, you have to make it smaller, or it won't leak, and I'll give it to you later..." Yang Siyuan continued to talk while moving his hands.

Li Yu'an didn't speak, just listened quietly, occasionally answering twice.

Although the winter sun is not warm enough, it is still bright.The golden light penetrated the glass-like clear dome and was reflected on the ground. As time passed quietly, it gradually covered this remote courtyard.

The two of them were head to head, hand to hand, their hair was dyed with light, and there seemed to be light spots shining on their wet fingertips.

Time flows like water, and like water, it will never return.

After all, Yang Siyuan didn't ask Li Yu'an why he didn't go to the milk tea shop in those few days, maybe he also had this thought, but when the two of them got together under the cozy winter sun, he forgot all about it.

However, after a few days, he still didn't see Li Yu'an at the milk tea shop.I endured it for a few more days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Just slap your face.

The previous idea of ​​"I won't ask if he doesn't tell me" was completely replaced by the three words "I want to see him". Yang Siyuan finally sent a text message to ask him.

"Well, the milk tea shop closed down???"

"No."

Yang Siyuan found that Li Yu'an had habitually used modal particles in his speech recently, which sounded a lot more friendly.

"Then why haven't I seen the door open these days?"

"After winter comes, I leave work early."

"Oh." Turning his eyes, Yang Siyuan planned to tease Li Yu'an, "You didn't even notify me, making me wait."

He was ready to laugh, but Li Yuan replied, "...I told you a long time ago."

Hmmmm?Yang Siyuan frowned, thinking "No way" in his heart, and started flipping through the previous text messages.

Sure enough, there was a notice from Li Yuan sandwiched in a pile of spam text messages.

Yang Siyuan slapped his forehead, almost dying of embarrassment.Seeing her little complaint like a concubine in the cold palace just now, she suddenly became red from the inside out, and got under the quilt.

The lack of half an hour of relaxation at night in the busy review life made him feel that something was missing, and he had to do nothing for a while before falling asleep when he got home.

Chen Limei still didn't say a word about that matter, but she seemed to understand how smart her son was, so she no longer lost patience with his occasional questions, and just answered a few sentences calmly.

Everything seems to be business as usual, but Yang Siyuan knows that some decisions will have to be made sooner or later.

He's just not ready yet.

He wanted to tell someone about it to vent his anger. Anyway, sooner or later, people would know about it. He was not afraid of gossip.After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't find the right person.

Li Yu'an was an exception, he was already alone.

Qin Ziliang is obviously the best choice, but Qin Ziliang has a simple mind, and he doesn't know if he can accept such a thing.

And the two haven't been in touch for a long time.

Yang Siyuan thought to himself, wait until he has time to contact him, and then see if he should tell him.

And in December, Qin Ziliang who was far away in the sky finally remembered his grandfather.

That should be the first snow that winter. It was very small, just snow particles, and even snowflakes could not be formed.

On the same day, Yang Siyuan received the news from Qin Ziliang, and his screen was filled with excitement.

"I saw the weather forecast saying that it was snowing at home! Damn, it doesn't snow in Wuhan!!! Just a frost, my classmates insisted that it was snow, and they were so excited! You take a photo for me to show them See what is real snow!!!”

At that time, Yang Siyuan was curled up in a corner of the wall wrapped in a quilt, staring at the fine snow outside the window in a daze.There is a lamp outside his window. It has been there since he moved here. It was not clear what it was used for before, but it was used to enjoy the snow when he arrived at Yang Siyuan's place.

The house is dark, but there is a dim light outside the window, and the north wind blows the fine snow and dances in a warm yellow.

Yang Siyuan thought of many words.

Running around, lonely, at a loss...

As soon as the screen lit up, he pulled back his thoughts. He turned on the phone and saw that it was Qin Ziliang. He was a little surprised.

Ye Xue was considered a beautiful scene, and with a "click", he fixed the moment when the snow was flying and sent it to Qin Ziliang.

"Damn it, why didn't I think snow was so beautiful when I was at home??? What's the matter with your photography skills??" The other side replied quickly.

At that time, smartphones were not popular in this small county, and Yang Siyuan still used a Nokia.The pixels are so poor that it is almost impossible to zoom in.But the composition and color of Yang Siyuan's photo are very good, and the small picture looks very good on the mobile phone.

He didn't pay attention to it himself, and he came to his senses only after receiving Qin Ziliang's text message, and realized that the shot was really good.

Perhaps art and photography have something in common.

He inadvertently rubbed the calluses on his hands and smiled wryly.

"That's necessary. How is it? Is it okay to live recently?"

"Very good, very good, but there are a lot of things in the department, and everything else is okay. Hey, there are too many girls in our school! You don't know, at first glance, you look like a fairy descending to the world! Hey, the little girl in the south is so small..."

Holding the phone, Yang Siyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering if you miss your little fan?After thinking about it, Qin Ziliang is very nervous, and it is true that he will not be the one who has been struggling for so long.It's a good thing to let go.

When he thought of Fan Li, he thought that Qin Ziliang didn't know about that.

Should I tell him?After all.How should I say it?Do you want to tell him that she is Fan Li's mother?

He hesitated, even though he felt that Qin Ziliang had let go of Fan Li, it was really not easy to express such a thing between the three of them who were so close to their parents.

After deliberating for a long time, deleting, deleting, and amending, in the end he only sent two simple sentences.

"I'll tell you something, anyway, you'll know sooner or later. My dad cheated."

After finishing the last full stop, it was as if the boulder weighing on his heart had finally cracked and rolled down. He let out a long breath, as if he had let out all the depression and hesitation these days.

The snow outside the window got heavier, the lights in the opposite building turned on and off, and the phone was silent for a long time in the dark, so long that Yang Siyuan thought it was just a cowardly dream.

Lao Qin is very happy today.

I picked the wrong time...

I shouldn't be so selfish.

He leaned his head heavily against the wall, and there was a muffled sound when his skull collided with the concrete wall.

drip-

He opened his eyes and discerned the words in the light.

"I will always be your brother! Brother will always be by your side!"

No questions, no speculation, just support with an exclamation point.

In just two sentences, Yang Siyuan squinted his eyes for a long time.

He could even think of Qin Ziliang's expression when he said this - staring at himself with wide eyes, and patted himself on the shoulder heavily.

"Ah."

It is not only a reply to Qin Ziliang, but also an explanation to himself.

He has made a decision.

The night gradually deepened, and the snow also changed from heavy to small, but the two of them were still talking nonsense.

It wasn't until almost one o'clock in the morning that Qin Ziliang finally came to his senses and asked Yang Siyuan if he had class the next day.

Yang Siyuan said in his heart that you treat me as a college student, so he replied jokingly.Qin Ziliang quickly apologized for delaying the country's good boy, and urged Yang Siyuan to go to bed quickly.

After saying goodnight, Yang Siyuan was a little lost.

He actually wanted to chat with Qin Ziliang for a while.

Well, it seems that it doesn't have to be Qin Ziliang, he just wants to talk to someone.But Qin Ziliang is his best friend after all, and the tacit understanding between the two makes him feel comfortable.

Very good, having such a friend is already very rare.

He collected himself, took back the momentary loss, and got out of bed to pull the curtain.

I don't know when, the snow has stopped, the window sill is covered with a thin layer, and there are two paw prints, probably from birds at night.

He regretted not being able to enjoy the whole snow show.

With a click, he turned off the light outside the window, and the whole world suddenly fell into a sleeping blackness.

The residual heat of the heater was still working, but he couldn't sleep in the warm blanket.

After tossing and turning for a few times, his mind was flooded again, he took out his phone and sent the photo.

The recipient, Li Yuan.

The send button was like another switch, once he was pressed, sleepiness surged, wrapping him in a deep dream.

When he woke up the next day, he received a text message.

In the early morning when winter has not yet risen, the mottled window lattice is like a picture frame, enclosing the short eaves covered with frost outside the window into the painting, desolate and quiet.

The sender, Li Yuan.
