hold you in my arms tonight

The final exam of No. [-] Middle School is the latest in the city. After winter comes, the weather is getting colder. Before the countdown to the exam, the campus is already covered with snow.

The hot water in the boys' dormitory was always intermittent, and the boys complained endlessly.Xie Yuan was the only one among the boys who bathed in cold water in the cold winter. During those years in Lanlin Lane, he had already forgotten what hot water was.

But he didn't allow Jiang Xun to use cold water, even wash his hands.

In the early morning, there was plenty of hot water, and no one could get up early to get hot water in such a cold weather.But Xie Yuan can do it, he will carry two hot water jugs to fetch water every morning, and prepare hot water for Jiang Xun for the next day.

"Such cold weather makes it impossible for people to live," Luo Ping started to complain when he got up, went downstairs to fetch hot water and found that it was a waste of time again, and threw the kettle on the floor when he returned to the dormitory, "I'm going to die!"

He was resigned to his fate to go to the toilet to fetch cold water. When he looked up, Jiang Xun was washing his face with hot water. He was even more dissatisfied and said, "Why is Xie Yuan only fetching hot water for you? He doesn't usually use hot water himself." .”

Xie Yuan was making the bed, when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "One dollar a week, I guarantee you will have hot water every morning."

Luo Ping was shocked, his weekly pocket money was only three yuan, how could this guy have the nerve to charge such a high price?

"Thank you," Zhang Ze put his hot water bottle and money on Xie Yuan's table.He was already frightened by the cold water, he couldn't get up early, Xie Yuan was willing, so he was naturally willing.

Seeing that Zhang Ze had given it all, Luo Ping quickly handed over his own money and the hot water bottle: "Please, please!"

Xie Yuan stuffed the money into Jiang Xun's pocket, and said, "Keep it safe."

Jiang Xun nodded.

Gao Cheng's family conditions are not good. He only has one yuan a week, including money for school supplies.But his self-esteem did not allow him to just watch Luo Ping and Zhang Ze pay for it.

"It's troublesome." Gao Cheng gave the hot water bottle and money to Xie Yuan, bleeding in his heart for the money, and was even more dissatisfied that Xie Yuan made this business embarrassing him.

Xie Yuan smiled gently: "No trouble."

Xie Yuan had a plan in mind, the price of goods is very low these days, money is very valuable, three yuan can buy a lot of things.Although he and Jiang Xun were exempted from tuition fees, the pocket money given by Dean Zhang was gone after buying school supplies on weekdays. Every time Jiang Xun saw others eating snacks, he was very worried.

On the way to school, Xie Yuan said: "There are still two weeks before the holiday, we can earn a total of six yuan, you can buy what you want to eat, or you can buy comic books if you want."

Jiang Xun hesitated, and asked, "But Xie Yuan, aren't you the most afraid of the cold? You used to fall asleep shivering every winter...Do you really not use hot water?"

Xie Yuan smiled brightly. He usually smiles, which makes people feel friendly and gentle, but only in front of Jiang Xun can he smile without burden.

"Jiang Xun, I'm afraid of the cold," Xie Yuan said, "I'm especially afraid of the cold. When I was in Lanlin Lane, I almost thought I would be frozen to death. But I didn't. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Jiang Xun asked curiously.

Xie Yuan said: "Because of you, every time I'm going crazy in the cold, I find a small warm ball beside me. I'm used to using cold water. It's not that I'm not afraid of the cold, but as long as I'm with you, I won't be cold." It will be cold."

As long as you are here, I will not be cold.

Jiang Xun suddenly felt that his task was heavy, and he looked at Xie Yuan with a sense of responsibility in his eyes.

Xie Yuan's hot water business quickly expanded to the two dormitories next door, and more than a dozen people asked him to help with hot water.Once there are too many people, Xie Yuan can't finish it all by himself, Jiang Xun wants to help Xie Yuan together.

"No, just run a few more times, sleep well," Xie Yuan said, "If you get up early and help me, I won't teach you to do math problems in the future."

"Are you threatening me?" Jiang Xun felt that Xie Yuan had changed and threatened him.

"Yes, if you come to make trouble early in the morning, you can figure out the math problems yourself," Xie Yuan said with a smile.

When Jiang Xun was sitting at the table reading a book, a girl came over and sat in the seat in front of him. She glanced at Xie Yuan's vacant seat and asked him, "Are you and Xie Yuan brothers? The one with your mother's surname? I found that you two have a good relationship!"

Jiang Xun raised his eyes, and the girl in front of him was wearing bangs and a pink padded jacket, staring at him curiously.

Seeing Jiang Xun's blank face, the girl introduced herself with a smile: "I'm Yin Yue. It's the end of the semester, don't you still know me?"

"Music?" Jiang Xun couldn't hear it clearly.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Yin Yue said, "Are you and Xie Yuan brothers? He is really good-looking, with good-looking eyes, good-looking smile, and fair skin! Of course, you can also .”

"No," Jiang Xun said, "We're not blood brothers. Does he look good?"

"Sure enough, boys tend to overlook their beauty," Yin Yue said, "You don't know anything about Xie Yuan's beauty."

What Yin Yue didn't say was that many girls in the class liked Xie Yuan very much. First, they thought he was good-looking, and second, they thought he was soft and gentle when he spoke.

Jiang Xun really didn't know that Xie Yuan was good-looking.He and Xie Yuan are so familiar that he can't figure out what are the advantages of Xie Yuan, he just knows that it is Xie Yuan.

Yin Yue felt that Jiang Xun was boring, and when she was about to leave, she saw Xie Yuan coming back.She was a little happy and wanted to talk to Xie Yuan. "

"Wow, Xie Yuan, this string of beads in your hand is so pretty!" Yin Yue was also at a loss for words, she thought the beads in Xie Yuan's hand were ugly, dark brown, with some texture, not pretty at all.

"Thank you, you look good too," Xie Yuan smiled faintly, and when he saw Jiang Xun reading the history book, he asked, "Have you memorized it?"

Jiang Xun nodded.

Yin Yue was surprised: "Do you memorize history? It's not necessary!"

Literature and history are generally understood, and few people directly memorize them.The main reason is that very few people can recite it.

"The foundation is not good, so that's the only way to go," Jiang Xun said.

Xie Yuan sat down on his seat, took out a Chinese book and began to recite it.Both of them recited it very seriously, Yin Yue felt bored and left by herself.

Final exams are coming soon.

After taking the exam for several days in a row, the snow fell even more during the exam. Xie Yuan bought a pair of gloves for Jiang Xun with the money he earned from carrying hot water.

The test results will not come out until a week later, and the students will go back to school to collect them.

Dean Zhang missed the two children, and her son Zhang Weiguo personally drove her to the gate of No. [-] Middle School to pick them up.There is another girl named Su Qing who goes to No. [-] Middle School.

Su Qing didn't go with Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun when she started school, this was the first time they saw her, she was a girl with dark single eyelids, she was inconspicuous in the crowd.

The three children sat in the back seat, and Dean Zhang sat in the front. From time to time, he turned his head to talk to the three children, mostly asking Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun about their studies.

After returning to the Angel Orphanage, Xie Yuan gave Dean Zhang the money he earned from serving hot water for his classmates.

Dean Zhang took the money and was surprised and distressed after hearing what he said, and said: "You child, keep it for yourself, the courtyard does not lack this money. You keep it, and eat some delicious food with Jiang Xun."

Dean Zhang gave Jiang Xun the money and said, "You guys are just too sensible after suffering too much."

Xie Yuan didn't say a word, he had already guessed that Dean Zhang would not want it, he just wanted Jiang Xun to accept the money without any psychological burden.

A week later, Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun went back to school to check their grades.The report card is a small note, and Teacher Yu Na sends it to everyone.

Teacher Yu Na said: "Everyone did well in the exam this time. Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun made the biggest improvement. The class ranking has improved a lot, especially Xie Yuan. This time, he got No.1 in the exam with a total score."

Jiang Xun took Xie Yuan's report card in surprise, with high marks in almost every subject, including full marks in mathematics.

"It really is Xie Yuan," Jiang Xun said.

Xie Yuan smiled, this was what he expected.

A person who has been in the abyss for a long time, as long as there is a chance to climb up, he will desperately grab it.What's more, he doesn't just want to be alone, he also wants to be with Jiang Xun to completely get rid of the days of being nothing.

Both Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun got good grades in the exam. Dean Zhang was very happy. Although Su Qing did not do well in the exam, she still decided to give gifts to all three children.One notebook per person.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the Angel Orphanage was covered with snow.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun lay by the window and watched the snow falling on the window.

Jiang Xun uncontrollably thought of Chong'an again. After a long time, he couldn't see the images in his memories clearly, but he remembered that the snowman that Jiang Yun made had melted later, and Jiang Yun was sitting in the snow and crying. Mom came out, and the family of five rebuilt a bigger snowman for Jiang Yun, and made the snowman's nose with carrots.

Jiang Xun suddenly missed his family very much.He thought, if he could go back to the past, he would never bully his sister with Jiang Nan again.

"Are you homesick? Xie Yuan," Jiang asked.

Xie Yuan didn't seem to hear it.He thought, he thought too much, thought for so long, his bones ached.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, thinking about it hurts too much, and as time goes by, they dare not think about it.As time went on, those memories that were not clear enough at first became even more blurred today.

"Xie Yuan, I want to be safe again," Jiang Xun said, "I miss my parents, Jiang Yun and Jiang Nan. Why are they gone when I come to my senses?"

Xie Yuan touched Jiang Xun's head, and said softly, "They are living well in another world, where there is no disaster, no disease, no cold and hunger. They must also miss you, and hope that you are in this world Live well."

Xie Yuan added: "Ah Guai and Ono also hope that we can all live well."

"It turns out that I have already lost so many people I care about," Jiang Xun carefully counted his family and friends going to heaven, and it turned out that so many people have left him.

"Xie Yuan, fortunately, you are still by my side," Jiang Xun comforted slightly, fortunately, he has never been alone in these years.

Fortunately, we met each other and redeemed each other.
