After writing the last word, Su Muqiu dropped the pen and let out a long breath. He stretched out his hands and squeezed his stiff shoulders.

"Finished?"

Those were a pair of very good-looking hands, with silver rings on the ring fingers, shining with a low-key light.

"Finally finished writing, you can relax this holiday."

Su Muqiu pulled that hand and kissed it.

"Go back?"

"Well, I have to pack my luggage tonight, and I'm going home for the New Year tomorrow."

Ye Xiu said, looking at the raindrops mixed with snowflakes outside the window.

"How fast, another year has passed."

This is the second year that Ye Xiu returned to Xingxin. Although there has been no big devil in the professional circle for the past two years, the familiar smell of dog food still permeates the entire alliance. The object is really difficult...

As the end of the year approached, the club was almost gone. When Ye Xiu flinched when he went out, Su Muqiu took his hand and stuffed it skillfully into his pocket.

"Stop by the supermarket to buy some food, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, why don't you buy less, and cook vegetables and tofu in a small pot?"

"Is it okay without meat?"

"Anyway, it's full of meat after I go back."

Su Muqiu smiled, and held the young master's hand even tighter.

"OK then."

They have been going to and from this nearby supermarket for many years. Ye Xiu was pushing the trolley, saw Su Muqiu talking to a familiar clerk, and the red-haired fox sauntered to the snack area, filling most of the trolley with one thought.

Su Muqiu was taken aback.

"How do you buy so many snacks?"

"It's been a long journey. This is for Mucheng and Qiu Fei."

The red-haired fox nodded in satisfaction. This year, he finally convinced Qiu Fei that he could finally bring the little lion back to show off. The red-haired fox was very proud.

"That's true, but I don't think I've seen Qiu Fei eating snacks much."

Su Muqiu thought about it.

"That also has to be bought."

Ye Xiu looked around and stuffed another large bag of potato chips.

"Buy it, buy it."

Su Muqiu smiled, the young master really likes that child.

As a result, I didn't buy much food, but I carried two bags full of snacks.

After Ye Xiushi served as Xingxin's technical consultant, they moved out of Shanglin Garden and lived back in Su Muqiu's two-bedroom apartment. Occasionally, Xingxin's friends would come over to play, and the small apartment finally smelled like fireworks.

The days in winter are always short, and the neighborhood is already lit up with thousands of lights. Ye Xiu saw the brightly colored window grilles and lanterns, and joy was everywhere.

"Our Spring Festival couplets haven't been posted yet, have we?"

Ye Xiu asked suddenly.

Xingxin is not small now, but Chen Guo is still used to going to buy new year's goods in person every year, and then dress up the club in red from top to bottom, and give Ye Xiu all the extra Spring Festival couplets and window grilles, asking him to take them back and paste them.

"I've been busy collecting things for the past two days and forgot."

Su Muqiu also saw those lanterns hanging on the balcony emitting a warm light.

"Go back and post it."

"Okay."

The bag Chen Guo gave was still placed by the door, Su Muqiu held up the couplet, Ye Xiu stood behind to help him check if it was pasted crookedly, and finally hung up two small lanterns, shining bright red.

Ye Xiu looked very satisfied. The red-haired fox squatted by the door and flicked its tail.

"Isn't it cold? Hurry up and come in."

Su Muqiu has already set up a small casserole and is waving to him in his apron.

"Here comes."

Ye Xiu closed the door, took off his coat and scarf.

"So fast?"

"The materials are all ready-made. Come and eat when you are ready, and you have to get up early to pack things tomorrow."

The living room is not big, and the unshakable news broadcast is playing on the TV, and the vegetables and bean sprouts are gurgling in a small casserole.

"There has been a lot of snow in the north this year."

Su Muqiu picked up a piece of tofu for Ye Xiu, and took out two quail eggs.

"Well, Ye Qiu said that the bets in his hometown are even bigger, and it may not be convenient for him to go back this year."

Ye Xiu said that there were beads of hot sweat on the tip of his nose.

"But that's good, lest I have to be caught as a labor force for snow shoveling."

The first time Su Muqiu followed Ye Xiu back to his hometown, he encountered inhuman crowds of spectators. The eldest brother and the eldest sister looked up and down, and even the younger uncle who was so troubled to take off came back from South America, and mysteriously gave Ye Xiu a , It is said that it is a bone tooth carved by a priest of a tribe in Peru, which is specially used to curse the object of change of heart.

This is not over, the next morning, everyone including Ye Xiu was arrested outside to shovel snow, the red-haired fox who has not engaged in manual labor all year round rushed to the street almost instantly, the cousins ​​wanted to make things difficult for Su Muqiu, but failed success--

Su Muqiu is not like a certain fox who refuses to move all day long, he is also a wild boy who has been on the streets after all, so he will not take this little trouble.

But Ye Xiu didn't think so. When the red-haired fox saw that the target was being bullied, he immediately puffed up his tail and wanted to argue. In the end, the lady in the hall caught him under the creaking nest, lamenting that his brother couldn't keep him when he was too old.

Of course, when playing mahjong at night, he was still killed by a wimpy fox.

Su Muqiu laughed helplessly when he thought of this, but they are actually very friendly people. Before leaving, the hall brother specially called him out, saying that his little brother has been naughty since he was a child, so you should take care of him.Pause at the end, but don't get used to it too hard.

Su Muqiu laughed on the spot, there is really no way, isn't the young master just used to it?

Although Ye Xiu is not very good at housework, he still tries his best to do what he can, tidy up the table and put the washed dishes into the disinfection cabinet.

The red-haired fox came out waving its wet paws. Su Muqiu was splitting the apple in half, picking out the core and putting it in a small bowl.

"Eat an apple?"

"eat."

"Then I'll go and pack some of my luggage first."

Su Muqiu handed the glass bowl to Ye Xiu.

"No need to help?"

Ye Xiu looked at the apples in the bowl, and carefully picked up the small fork.

"Just sit and watch TV."

Su Muqiu smiled and pointed to the remote control.

"It's getting late, don't cause trouble, my dear."

The red-haired fox glared at him, and finally had no choice but to squat on the sofa and eat an apple.

Who told him that he was really not good at packing luggage. He used to carry a bag for away games, and he would never bring more than he could.

The red-haired fox finished eating the apples, lay down on the sofa in the background sound of the TV series, and watched Su Muqiu turn around with his tail flicking, neatly packing one item after another into the suitcase, and lamented how lucky he was.

The coin that was thrown out at the beginning must have been given the guidance of a passing fairy, so that he could find that Internet cafe and meet a person smoothly as if he had opened the hook.

"Ye Xiu? Why are you in a daze again? The water is ready, go take a bath."

Only then did Ye Xiu come back to his senses.

"Hey, just go."

The red-haired fox jumped off the sofa, ran for two steps with a change of clothes in its mouth, and then turned to look at Su Muqiu.

"Aren't you going to wash together?"

"It's too cold, let's wait for summer."

Su Muqiu smiled, and picked up a plastic duckling from the supermarket.

"If you are lonely, do you want it to accompany you?"

Ye Xiu also laughed.

"This can't work, it needs my big baby."

After saying that, he blinked and slammed the bathroom door, leaving Su Muqiu, who was caught off guard by a hooligan, alone in the living room.

The man scratched his head and put the orange duckling back on the shelf.

"You hooligans!"

Ye Xiu's voice was distorted through the bathroom.

"Legal is not hooliganism! It's fun!"

The arctic fox almost fell down on the sofa laughing.

When Su Muqiu finished washing, Ye Xiu was flipping through his phone under the blanket. The arctic fox that had just bathed was warm and fluffy. Seeing him lift the blanket and come in, Ye Xiu immediately threw the phone over.

Su Muqiu skillfully brought the man into his arms.

"Aren't you sleeping yet?"

"It's fun to watch them bicker."

Ye Xiu smiled.

"Who?"

"Xiao Lu and Xiao Gao, you can't think of it, that kid Xiao Gao is quite fierce when he is in a hurry."

The red-haired fox shook his head, the rabbit biting seemed to be painful.

"Why are you arguing?"

"I don't know. When I went to see it, it was already making noise, and there were a lot of people who followed it."

"It's nice to be young."

Su Muqiu turned off the light and held Ye Xiu in his arms.

The red-haired fox took a comfortable position.

"The days go by so fast and the kids are all grown up."

"Mucheng doesn't seem to be planning to be captain next season?"

Su Muqiu felt Ye Xiu rub against his shoulder, like a little furry fox.

"Well, she said that it can almost be handed over to Xiao Qiao."

Ye Xiu thought of the fluffy and fluffy little panda, a child who had some low self-esteem and timidity back then, but now he has already taken charge of himself.

"Yifan, that kid is very steady, I don't think you should worry too much."

"That's true."

Su Muqiu smiled.

"You always have a good eye for picking up children."

"That is required."

The red-haired fox is very proud. Of course, our children are excellent and outstanding.

"sleep early."

Su Muqiu rubbed Ye Xiu's head.

"I have to go home with Mucheng and Qiu Fei tomorrow."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

There was nothing to say all night, and Ye Xiu was very used to Su Muqiu's body temperature. He woke up just as the people around him pulled away.

"...Mu Qiu?"

"Woke you up? Sleep a little longer, I'm going to make breakfast, and I still have a little luggage to pack."

Su Muqiu leaned over, raised her bangs and kissed her forehead.

"...No, I'll get up too. It's not easy to take a taxi recently, so it's better to go out early."

The winter morning light was a warm light golden color, Ye Xiu bit his bread, and slowly locked the balcony door and window.

The windows were pasted with large window grilles with the word "Fu", the edges were slightly soaked by water vapor, bright red lanterns hung above the head, golden tassels swayed slightly, and there was a pot of jasmine flowers in the corner, which was carefully cared for by Su Muqiu to survive the winter.

Ye Xiu suddenly lost his mind, it's Chinese New Year.

He has been away from home for too long, he is used to the Spring Festival with only a few people, and now he has a home like those thousands of people, he is still a little dazed.

"Ye Xiu, Qiu Fei sent a text message, saying he's downstairs from our house."

Su Muqiu had already put on his coat and was busy putting the scarf around Ye Xiu's neck.

"Don't be in a daze, lock the doors and windows, I'll call Mucheng."

"Ah."

Ye Xiu quickly swallowed the last bite of bread, causing Su Muqiu to wipe the corner of his mouth with a smile.

"The crumbs are still hanging."

Su Mucheng lived next to them, and the three of them dragged their suitcases down. Qiu Feizheng was standing at the door, the little lion was tall and straight, and saw them flicking the tip of their tails slightly.

"senior!"

"Is it cold, Qiu Fei? Have you had breakfast?"

Ye Xiu held the young man's hand, it was warm, the young man is full of anger.

"Ate."

Qiu Fei is now a little taller than Ye Xiu, and suddenly found that the change in perspective makes the boy a little happy.

"Then let's go, we bought a lot of food yesterday, we will eat up all of it on the way."

Su Muqiu stuffed a bag to Qiu Fei.

"...so much? I don't eat much snacks."

Qiu Fei is also very strict with his health management, he must maintain the best physical condition during the competition.

"Ye Xiu chose it, you should eat it."

Su Muqiu smiled, and sure enough, he saw the scrupulous young man showing hesitation.

"It's okay to relax once in a while."

Su Mucheng was very happy with the big bag of snacks. The girl has been the captain for two years, and she has become more mature and confident, but she still bounces around in front of her brothers.

Ye Xiu walked beside Su Muqiu, watching Qiu Fei and Su Mucheng talking in a low voice.

The street in the early morning was empty and quiet, only the grunt of the suitcase. Ye Xiu had walked this street for many years, from ignorance to standing, and he would probably continue to walk in the future, with this person beside him.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly, and dragged his suitcase across the platform that he had passed by countless times. Suddenly, he felt his heart skip a beat, as if he had just passed by someone—

It seems to be a man with a lazy expression and a smiling girl, and there is a boy beside them.

three people.

There are only three people.

Ye Xiu turned his head abruptly, but there was nothing there, the street before New Year's Eve was deserted, only the mist that he exhaled turned into a pale sigh.

The man stood there in a daze until a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Ye Xiu? What's wrong?"

Ye Xiu turned around, and the handsome young man was looking at him with a slight smile.

"If you don't hurry up, you will miss the train."

Ye Xiu's heart felt as if something was gently touched by the down. He seemed to be aware of something, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.

The man shook his head, strode over to hold Su Muqiu's hand.

Su Muqiu froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed it back.

"What's the matter?"

he asked quietly.

Ye Xiu just smiled and shook his head, tightly holding that warm palm, the silver ring on his ring finger shining quietly.

"It's all over, let's go home."

No matter how many different futures exist in this universe, at least I have grasped the present and intend to keep going.

until the end.

* *

Ye Xiu dragged his suitcase and walked beside Su Mucheng. All these years, he had brought the little girl home for the Spring Festival. This time he managed to convince Qiu Fei that the team going home changed from two to three.

The man curled his neck lazily. They have walked this street for many years, and a new advertisement picture was hung on the familiar platform.

Ye Xiu walked slowly, his drooping eyelids suddenly jumped, and the man's heart beat wildly. He didn't remember how he turned around, but there was no figure on that familiar street. .

"Ye Xiu? What's wrong?"

Su Mucheng leaned over.

The man stared blankly at the empty street, and the four figures passing side by side were like a beautiful dream.

Light and unreal as soap bubbles.

He thought of that summer, the boy who stretched out his hand under the street lamp.

However, everything has passed.

"fine."

Ye Xiu said that he closed his eyes and opened them quickly. The man smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go."

In this universe, another future called Miracle might really exist.

But there is still a long way to go in life, even if there is no miracle, I can still go on, shouldering the imperfection, and keep going.

until the end.

But life is so long, maybe at some point, there will be a flash of miracle.

Like that grand and gorgeous summer.

"Hey, kid, what's your name?"

"My name is--"
