After waking up in the middle of the night, Shu Xia rubbed her sore head, feeling too drunk, her left hand was hugged by Ji Xi, probably because she was afraid that he would be injured again if he slept badly.

However, Shu Xia chuckled, he is the one who sleeps the most dishonestly, he has to roll over from one side of the bed to the other in one night, in various sleeping positions, and he has to roll over with him, and hug him honestly when he can't turn over. with him.

He moved slightly, put his left leg on his side and slept on his side, looking at Ji Xi's face, he slept like a pig, the kind that couldn't be woken even by thunder.

The phone didn't know where it went, so he could only lie quietly, Ji Xi's arm was pillowed under him, and he didn't know if it was numb or not.

It was so dark that he couldn't see his whole face clearly, so Shu Xia leaned over and kissed him, up to the tip of his nose.

Fireworks started to set off outside.

There was a bang, a flash of light, one after another, one after another.

It's twelve midnight?

Shu Xia got up, but couldn't find her own slippers, maybe Ji Xi carried him in, but he put on Ji Xi's and went out lightly.

Turn on the light, the living room is clean, he remembers getting drunk and not cleaning up, could it be Ji Xi?

Shu Xia went to the kitchen, but didn't see the bowls and chopsticks, did Ji Xi wash them?

Really virtuous!

The word came to him suddenly.

The phone obediently stayed on the coffee table, Shu Xia picked it up and took a look, 23:58, is it New Year's Eve?

He ran in hastily, he felt a tingling pain in his legs, and he didn't react until he walked towards the bedroom with stiff legs.

"Ji Xi, wake up!" He grabbed Ji Xi and yelled, "It's on fire!"

"Fuck, where's the fire? Shu Xia!" Ji Xi woke up suddenly, and hurriedly called out to someone. When he saw the person in front of him, he reacted and pulled him into his arms with relief, "Fuck, you scared me!" What am I doing?"

"It's New Year's Eve, I want to be with you." Shu Xia said with a smile.

"Then just call me, why are you scaring me? My heart is pounding, can you feel it?" Ji Xi rubbed the back of his head, and said plaintively, this way of calling someone, the heart is so bad that it scares to death .

Shu Xia turned her ears to listen, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was too loud to hear, but could feel the vibration, "You can't wake up at all when you sleep."

He glanced at the time, it's here!

"Happy New Year!" Shu Xia whispered in his ear.

"Happy New Year!" Ji Xi replied.

Almost at the same time, the phone rang.

Ji Xi kissed him, and looked at it with his mobile phone. It was Qi Xin and the others, all of them were happy new year, and they were in a hurry.

"They don't send mass messages at fixed times, do they?" Ji Xi asked Shu Xia.

"Maybe, I also received it." During the past few months of getting along, Shu Xia's address book has added many new contacts.

"Then I won't return." Ji Xi threw the phone on the bed and looked at him with a smile, "I prepared a red envelope for you."

"Ah? I prepared one for you too." Shu Xia said with a smile.

The two chuckled.

"Then exchange each other." Ji Xi got up and opened the drawer, and took out a red envelope with "Happy New Year" printed on it.

"Wait for me." Shu Xia limped out and was picked up by Ji Xi, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Your leg is inconvenient, I'll carry you away." Ji Xi said.

"But you don't wear shoes, aren't you cold?" Shu Xia pointed at his bare feet, "Your shoes are on my feet."

"It's okay, just for a while." Ji Xi carried him out and put him on the sofa.

"Put on your shoes quickly." Shu Xia said, went to look through her backpack and took out a red envelope of the same style.

"Here, it's not much, I'll make it up for you later." He handed it over.

"Then I don't have much, I'll make up for it later." Ji Xi said with a smile, took Shu Xia's red envelope and handed him his own.

"Can I have a look?" Ji Xi asked.

"Well, let's see, it won't go up even if you look at it." Shu Xia said with a smile.

"Let's watch together." Ji Xi said.

They sat on the sofa, unwrapping the red envelope like a god.

Looking at the stack of red diapers, Shu Xia swallowed, thinking that she should add more.

There are still a few pieces of change, Shu Xia looked at it, it should be a special number, and there are so many, there must be a meaning.

"1314?" Shu Xia asked.

"520." Ji Xi said.

"It's so old-fashioned!" The two said in unison.

"There's more!" They said in unison again.

They looked at each other and smiled, each looked at the bottom of the red envelope, it was a key.

"Pfft..." Ji Xi couldn't help chuckling, "We have a good understanding?"

"Well, you can come in at my place from now on." Shu Xia shook the key, "I can come in at your place too."

"Well, come in as you like." Ji Xi said with a smile.

"Hug." Ji Xi opened his arms, hugged Shu Xia in his arms, and sighed in enjoyment, "So happy!"

"En." Shu Xia nodded.

After hugging for a while, Qi Xin's phone call came, and Ji Xi held her in one hand helplessly while answering the phone with the other.

"Why?" he asked.

"Brother Xi, come out! Let's make waves!" Qi Xin shouted energetically.

"Where is it?" Ji Xi asked, rubbing the hair on the back of Shu Xia's head with one hand, twisting it like a hemp rope, and changing another pinch to continue rubbing.

"Anywhere is fine! Hurry up, let's have a good meal first, and then go to set off the fireworks." Qi Xin said.

"I asked where you met, not your plan." Ji Xi said helplessly.

"Oh, it hasn't been decided yet. We're going to have a self-service barbecue, but the location hasn't been unified yet." Qi Xin said.

"I know a good place, the section of the expressway, which is spacious and has no wires, where fireworks can be set off." Ji Xi said.

"Okay, you inform Xueba, you two are inseparable anyway, we'll go get ready first." Qi Xin hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Sounds like it should be busy.

"Barbecue?" Shu Xia sat up and pulled the hemp rope that Ji Xi made.

"Well, wait for me for a while, I'll find you clothes, it's cold outside." Ji Xi stood up and went to the bedroom.

She was wrapped in a down jacket, which belonged to Ji Xi, and she also brought a scarf, gloves, and a hat.

"We're not going to the Northeast, what are you doing!" Shu Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was determined not to wear a hat and gloves, he was a man, not a girl.

"Okay." Ji Xi gave up.

Carrying Shu Xia down the stairs, Ji Xi is already familiar with the road, Shu Xia is not heavy, and there is not much meat on his body.

When they got to the expressway, Qi Xin and the others had already arrived, and they were still equipped with the last time.

A large group of people, including him and Shu Xia, eleven or twelve, haven't seen each other for a few days. These people even hooked up with girls, and brought two little kids, eight or nine-year-old boys.

"Brother Xi, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're handsome again!" Qi Xin groaned, smiling all over his face, holding a barbecue in his hand.

"Brother Xi." Meng Ke called out.

"You guys are so chic and refreshing, it's as if you've changed your face one by one." Ji Xi parked the car next to the couple next to each other.

"Slow down, watch your legs." He turned his head and said to Shu Xia.

"Ah."

"Brother Xi, get up tonight, we brought a lot of wine." Liu Yang yelled, the state of broken love was gone forever, and he returned to the previous state.

"Okay!" Ji Xi agreed, and brought Shu Xia over.

This time the equipment is better, very complete, with tables and stools, five boxes of beer, and a large pile of food, all of which are melon and fruit snacks, and a pile of barbecue raw materials.

The headlights of the van are used as lights, they are bright, there are a few small table lamps, and four boxes of fireworks are piled up on the side of the road.

"You guys are so well-prepared!" Ji Xi pointed to a pile of gadgets that occupied the four to five meter wide driveway.

"Well, let's have a good night!" Qi Xin said, seeing Shu Xia's crippled leg, "Hey, what's wrong with Xueba?"

"There was a car accident, and I was scratched." Shu Xia said with a smile, "It's all right now."

"That's good, be careful in the future, you are the hope of our No. [-] Middle School, our pride, you must hold on!" Qi Xin roared nervously.

"Pfft... Ji Xi is also hopeful!" Shu Xia said.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about Brother Xi, mainly because he has been a scumbag for too long, and I can't remember that he is still a top student." Qi Xin said with a smile.

"Hey, Ji Xi, shall we have a competition tonight?" Qi Lei called to him holding a wine bottle.

"Come on, who is afraid of whom!" Ji Xi replied.

Four girls and two children, except for Lin Qianqian and Xing Yi, Shu Xia didn't know any of them.

Qi Xin was grilling, and Liu Yang was playing with the two children.

Meng Ke and Qi Lei are drinking.

Four girls are chatting.

Shu Xia looked around and chose Qi Xin's side.

"Why don't you go drink?" Qi Xin seemed to come to his senses after asking, "My brain is full of food during the Chinese New Year, and I forgot that you are injured and can't drink."

"I don't like drinking too much, teach me how to bake!" Shu Xia said.

"Actually, I was fooling around too. Here, brother Xi is better at craftsmanship, and Qi Lei will do as well. I, half-baked, as long as it is cooked, the taste doesn't matter." Qi Xin said carelessly.

"Pfft...Okay, let me try it, you help me see the heat." Shu Xia picked up an eggplant and made a few cuts with a fruit knife, Ji Xi said it was delicious.

He dabs a little oil on it.

The charcoal fire was used for the barbecue, and it was smoky, a bit irritating to the eyes, and Shu Xia had the illusion of burning firewood at home.

The temperature was very high, so he put the eggplant on the grill, clamped it with tongs and turned it slowly, brushing some oil from time to time.

It may be the experience last time, this time the seasoning is very sufficient, pepper, cumin, salt and pepper...

"What flavor do you like?" Shu Xia asked Qi Xin with her head turned.

"Ah... oh, spicy, the spicier the better!" Qi Xin said greedily, "I like meat better."

He and Ji Xi are really like-minded people.

Shu Xia nodded, put the seasoning on it, watched the eggplant wilt slowly, brushed a layer of chili on it, then brushed some oil to roast it and it was ready to eat.

"You try it?" Shu Xia handed the eggplant to Qi Xin.

Qi Xin took it unceremoniously, forgetting all the work in hand, Shu Xia took over, brushed the oil and turned over to continue roasting.

"Holy shit, is this your first time baking?" Qi Xin looked at Shu Xia in disbelief, "Students are different, they learn things so fast, and they have their own inherent advantages, super delicious, better than mine Ten thousand times."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Shu Xia asked with a smile, flipping through her hands non-stop.

His bandaged hand was convenient, like a glove, and he couldn't feel the temperature.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's really delicious." Qi Xin licked his lips and pointed at the flesh and blood in Shu Xia's hand, "This is more chili."

"Well, good." Shu Xia nodded and added a lot of pepper noodles to him.

"How should this be considered cooked?" Shu Xia asked. It was the first time that she couldn't master the heat well, and if there was a problem with eating, it would be over.

The rhythm of the absolute diarrhea.

"I'll check." Qi Xin opened the browser and browsed, "It says it's roasted until it's burnt brown, and seasoning is added when it's half cooked."

"Okay, it'll be ready soon." Shu Xia understood, it's actually similar to cooking.

"Grill some more meat, chicken wings, beef, three skewers each." Qi Xin took a handful of the roasted meat and ate his mouth full of oil, eating from the bowl and looking into the pot, "Am I not very kind?"

"No, I'm fine anyway." Shu Xia took a handful of meat, but she didn't know what kind of meat it was, as long as it was meat.

"That's good, your leg was hit by brother Xi's car, right?" Qi Xin asked.

"Well, the technique is not good." Shu Xia said with a smile.

"I'll go, Brother Xi really treats him differently. I said several times that I won't let me touch it. Did you get hit by him?" Qi Xin asked curiously.

"Uh, I scratched a few marks." He said in a daze.

"You deserve it!" Qi Xin acted as if he had come to his senses, "That... I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Brother Xi's car."

"Oh, why?" Shu Xia asked.

"Don't let me ride." Qi Xin took a bite of the meat, "You're stingy."

"Pfft...are they your friends?" Shu Xia changed the subject, pointing at the two little kids.

"Not all, the ugly one is from Meng Ke's house, and the handsome one is my nephew." Qi Xin said.

Shu Xia couldn't help chuckling, and looked at the two children who were similar in appearance, and couldn't tell who belonged to which.

"Those two girls are Xing Yi's good sisters, and they came with us when we went to pick her up." Qi Xin threw the finished bamboo sticks into the trash bag, and continued to guard the meat in Shu Xia's hand.

"Oh." Shu Xia nodded, and handed him the roasted meat, "Eat it!"

"Why do I feel that you are feeding the dog?" Qi Xin took it and said in a tangled voice.

"Pfft hahaha, you said it yourself." Shu Xia couldn't help laughing, and understood why Ji Xi called him the second idiot.

"It doesn't matter, let's skewer pork belly again." Qi Xin took three skewers of pork belly and handed them to him.

There was a smile on the corner of Shu Xia's mouth, it turned out that the meaning of "come again" doesn't mean to come again!The world of foodie is really wonderful!

"Hi, can I join?" A female voice broke Shu Xia's thoughts, he glanced sideways, it was one of Xing Yi's friends.

"Of course, do you want to eat?" Qi Xin handed over the meat skewers in his hand.

"Thank you." The girl took a bite and gave a thumbs up in praise, "It's delicious, who baked it?"

"Of course it's a top student!" Qi Xin pointed to Shu Xia next to him.

"Shu Xia?" the girl called out, "Are you Shu Xia?"

"Uh, yes, you know me?" Shu Xia looked at a completely unfamiliar face, and couldn't remember when she met this person.

"No. [-] Middle School, classmate, have you forgotten?" the girl asked in surprise.

"Uh, that, I'm sorry." Shu Xia smiled awkwardly, he really didn't know this person.

"I'm Chen Xinyu, don't you have no memory at all?" Chen Xinyu couldn't believe it, "I even sat in the back row of you!"

"..." Shu Xia had nothing to say, but she had no impression at all.

"Hey, is my meat ready?" Qi Xin broke the embarrassment and changed the subject.

"Oh, right now, make it more spicy!" Shu Xia immediately diverted her attention, unable to talk to the girl.

"Well, the spicier the better." Qi Xin nodded, and suddenly asked, "Will Brother Xi kill me if I squeeze you so much?"

"Why did you kill you?" Shu Xia asked amusedly.

"Because I feel a murderous aura." Qi Xin swallowed and turned to look at Ji Xi's position, meeting his terrifying face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I'm finished! Brother Xi is looking at me!" Qi Xin pretended to be nonchalant and turned back, "Scholar, why don't you grill skewers and I'll send them to him? It's too scary!"

"Well, good." Shu Xia said.

"Who is that?" Chen Xinyu pointed at Ji Xi's seat.

"Brother Xi, our boss." Qi Xin said, not daring to look back at Ji Xi's face.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Shu Xia's heart skipped a beat, rival in love? ?

"No, don't think about it, he, the flower of Gaoling, the straight man of steel, is useless!" Qi Xin said.

"Yeah." Shu Xia nodded.

"Shu Xia, have you got a girlfriend yet?" Chen Xinyu turned to ask him.

uh uh! !

"This is the same as Ji Xi, so don't even think about it." Qi Xin said.

"I'm just asking for my friend, um, Qiu Meng." Chen Xinyu pointed to the girl chatting with Xing Yi and the others, a delicate and weak girl with long hair.

"Oh, that's over, tell her to stop early!" Qi Xin said.

Shu Xia couldn't help chuckling, and said that Ji Xi is a straight man of steel, he is a straight man of steel, how embarrassing the girls are when he speaks so directly!

"Here, send it!" Shu Xia handed him the pork belly, and took another handful of meat to roast.

It's not that difficult after you're proficient. He brushes the oil neatly, puts it on the shelf, then oils it, and puts the seasoning...

I really don't know what to say to Chen Xinyu, and even the name is a classmate I just found out, so I can only pretend that I didn't see it and busy myself.

"Shu Xia, why did you transfer school?" Chen Xinyu took a handful of vegetables and followed him to start roasting, "It can't be because of a real fight, right?"

"Ah, yes, they turned away after the fight." Shu Xia said.

Chen Xinyu asked regretfully: "Why is this? Don't you think about your future? That school in No. [-] Middle School..."

Shu Xia interrupted her, "Second Middle School is pretty good."

"What's the matter, the grades are at the bottom of the county, the environment is not as good as No. [-] Middle School, and the teachers are not as good as No. [-] Middle School." She said.

"I think it's pretty good." Shu Xia was at a loss for words.

"How are you studying now?"

"You are gone, the head teacher is still reluctant!"

"Moreover, the average score of our class has dropped!"

"You've changed a lot, you've become handsome!"

"..."

Shu Xia was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, she could only "Oh, ah, um, uh, it's okay", and baked a bunch of them to eat.

"Shu Xia!" Ji Xi shouted.

"Ah?" Shu Xia turned her head and took a look.

"Come here!" he said.

"Oh!" Shu Xia responded and looked at Chen Xinyu, "Well, I'm going there, you want to..."

"Let me carry it over for you!" She said, carrying the grilled barbecue.

"No, let me do it, it's a little hot." Shu Xia took it.

"You are still so nice, the same as before." Chen Xinyu let go, and followed Shu Xia to Ji Xi's side, "You used to give lectures to our classmates, but now they all love to talk about you!"

"Uh, is it?" Shu Xia said.

"Well, I want to call you when I have a problem, but I don't have your contact information. What's your phone number?" She asked.

Uh!

"Shu Xia!" Ji Xi shouted again.

"Ah, here we come!" Shu Xia responded, and ignored Chen Xinyu's words.

Ji Xi was about to die of anger.

It's fine to talk and laugh with Qi Xin, Qi Xin can't pry his corner, but why are you still chatting with girls?

"Brother Xi, what are you doing?" Qi Xin stuffed a bunch of pork belly into his mouth, "My classmates are talking about old times, what are you asking me to do?"

"Student?" Ji Xi asked.

"Well, my former classmate, who sat in the back row of Shu Xia, Chen Xinyu, the name sounds pretty nice." Qi Xin said.

"Rotten street!" Ji Xi cursed in a low voice.

"What?" Qi Xin asked.

"It's okay, let's eat yours." Ji Xi picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. The classmates in the back row are old acquaintances?

Damn it, if you can't stand it for a while, recruit a love rival for him!

"Are you going to fight for wine?" Qi Lei asked.

"Not interested." Ji Xi said irritably.

Shu Xia came over with two plates of barbecue, sat down next to Ji Xi, and gave one plate to Qi Xin, "Give this plate to Xing Yi and the others!"

Damn it, Xing Yi, besides his mother, this is the first time Ji Xi heard a girl's name from Shu Xia's mouth.

"Xueba's efficiency is really high! Two plates were baked so quickly." Qi Xin took it and walked to Xing Yi's side, and said hello, "Hey, two brats, eating barbecue!"

The efficiency is really high, and he recruited two rivals in a short while.

Ji Xi looked at Shu Xia, and the more he looked, the angrier he became. He is so handsome. If he had known earlier, he would not have let him dye his hair, and it was slightly curled. He would not wear earrings, nor change his clothes. It would be better to be sloppy. Slovenly……

It feels like the treasure I dug up is being coveted!

"Do you want to eat?" Shu Xia handed him a bunch of pork belly, spicy and delicious.

Ji Xi opened his mouth, and Shu Xia stuffed it in for him habitually.

"It tastes good." Ji Xi chewed and said.

"Hey, brother Xi, forget about being lazy, and say that I'm oppressing the top student, look at yourself." Qi Xin saw this scene as soon as he came back, and couldn't help complaining.

Shu Xia came to her senses, looked at everyone's surprised eyes, coughed twice, and stuffed a bunch of broccoli into her mouth.

"You care about me?" Ji Xi ignored him, and took another bunch of chicken wings.

……
