The plane landed at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Kong Feicheng called Zuo Rong for the first time in half a month.

"Hello?" Zuo Rong's pleasantly surprised voice had some unconcealable exhaustion, which made him feel distressed.

"Where are you now?" he asked bluntly.

"Hospital." Although Zuo Rong never told him, as long as he asked, he would never lie.

"Which hospital?" Kong Feicheng said firmly.

Zuo Rong reported the name of the hospital. He guessed that he probably heard the news from the leader of the college and wanted to confirm with himself. He was about to tell him that he was fine and don't worry, but the other party hung up the phone.

Are you still angry?

That's right, it's only natural for such a proud and sensitive person to get angry when he is thrown out right after confessing his confession and hasn't contacted him for more than ten days.

Zuo Rong has been putting all his thoughts on his father's illness during this time, and he has indeed ignored Kong Feicheng.As soon as he put down the phone, he began to reflect on himself.

Man, it's really difficult.One side is a father, the other side is a lover.But in this situation, he has to choose his father no matter what, and life-and-death matters are more important than anything else.

It's just that this love that took the lead with great difficulty seems to take a long time to recover.

At this time, Kong Feicheng had already taken a taxi to the hospital lobby.He reported Zuo Rong's father's name and department to the front desk, asked about the ward number, and checked his appearance in the mirror to confirm that he was still looking good, then took a deep breath and walked into the elevator.

Before Zuo Rong could figure out how to explain to Kong Feicheng, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

He immediately went to open the door, but the moment he opened it, he was stunned by the people outside.He thinks this is probably Doraemon's arbitrary door, which brought Kong Feicheng all over.

"Can I come in?" The person outside the door asked with a smile.

This voice overlapped with the voice on the phone just now, and Zuo Rong finally believed that the person he had been thinking about day and night had really appeared in front of him.

"Quick, please come in." He was suddenly a little nervous, and quickly moved sideways to get out of the way.

As soon as Kong Feicheng entered, he saw the man lying on the hospital bed and the woman standing beside him.Zuo Rong and the two have somewhat similar appearances, but they only inherited their respective advantages.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. My name is Kong Feicheng. I'm Zuo Rong's friend. I came here for a trip recently, and I just came to visit my uncle." Kong Feicheng's tone was very sincere, and his courtesy was very thoughtful. On the bedside table.

"Hey, hello Xiao Kong. Oh, look, it's really costly to bring so many things when traveling!" Zhou Jing stepped forward to hold his hand and greeted him warmly.This young man is elegant and handsome, with a gentle air, she likes it no matter what she thinks.

Zuo Wei on the hospital bed also turned his head around, tried his best to smile at him with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Yes, Rongrong, my friend, hurry up, sit down." After speaking, he raised a hand and pointed to the sofa beside the bed.

Zuo Rong didn't think there was anything wrong, so he also sat down and watched Kong Feicheng chatting with his mother, without realizing that his eyes were too eager.

"Xiao Kong, did you travel alone?" Zhou Jing asked him.

"Yes, Auntie." Kong Feicheng sat upright, looking very educated.

"It's New Year's Eve, why don't you stay at home for the New Year's Eve dinner?" People of the older generation always care about this.

"Our family's New Year's Eve dinner was not good, so I escaped." Kong Feicheng said witty words, trying to liven up the atmosphere.Staying in the hospital for a long time, people will inevitably feel dull.

"Hey, look at what your child said. How about this, you and Rongrong will go home with me in a while, I will cook some home-cooked dishes and we will eat together, and I will find a nurse to take care of me here." Zhou Jing suggested that the left side of the hospital bed Wei also nodded in agreement.

On the one hand, Zuo Rong felt that Kong Feicheng should be entertained, but on the other hand, he felt that it was not good to leave his father in the hospital.

Before he could come up with a perfect plan, Kong Feicheng said: "Auntie, if you don't mind the trouble, can you go home and bring it over so we can eat together here? You see, the conditions in this ward are not bad. It’s not worse than a hotel at all, and uncles can be lively together.”

Both Zhou Jing and Zuo Rong were stunned for a moment, "Everyone from this far away is a guest, how can there be any reason to let the guests eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the ward?" Zhou Jing felt that it was inappropriate.

"Auntie, I'm not that particular. If you don't agree, I'll go back to the hotel and order takeaway." Kong Feicheng has never acted like a spoiled child to his elders. Since he was a child, he rarely saw his mother. The concept of the word.Seeing Zuo Rong's mother now, he felt very kind.

Zhou Jing had no choice but to agree with him after a few arguments to no avail.

Several people chatted enthusiastically for a while, and Kong Feicheng almost recounted his resume, Zuo Rong's parents liked it more and more the more they listened.

Time passed quickly in such a harmonious atmosphere, and it was almost four o'clock in a blink of an eye, Zhou Jing hurried home to cook.Although I haven't had the time or the mood to eat well recently, the New Year's Eve dinner should not be too sloppy.

Say goodbye to the old year with a delicious meal and usher in good luck in the new year.For thousands of years, people living in this land have stuck to this small sense of ritual and are full of expectations for the future.

After Zhou Jing left, the ward became much quieter.Afterwards, Kong Feicheng was basically talking, and Zuo Wei tried his best to respond, and it could be seen that he was also very happy that his son finally had a friend, and he was still such an excellent friend.

Three hours later, Zhou Jing came back with several lunch boxes, large and small.Fortunately, there is fresh food sent by Zuo Le at home, otherwise it would be really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Zuo Rong and Kong Feicheng helped open the lids and put them on the table one by one, and the small reception table in the ward was filled to the brim in an instant.

There are also a lot of local specialties such as shrimp, crab, snail and oyster, and the strong seafood is overwhelming.Zhou Jing didn't know Kong Feicheng's taste, so she cooked a few home-cooked dishes that couldn't go wrong, and went to the hotel to pack an old duck soup.

This was very different from the New Year's Eve dinner at Grandpa's house, it wasn't very rich, but it made Kong Feicheng experience the taste of home for the first time.In this small ward, Hehe Meimei's family of three accompanied him to spend New Year's Eve together, and these people were more kind than his relatives.

Zhou Jing waited on Zuo Wei to eat slowly, and she stopped to take two bites from time to time.Zuo Rong, on the other hand, took the responsibility of shelling the seafood very consciously. He peeled each seafood carefully, dipped it in the seasoning and put it in Kong Feicheng's bowl.

Kong Feicheng has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. He has to eat quickly since he was a child, because there are many things waiting for him to do, and he can't waste time on eating.It's a luxury for him to handle seafood in such a leisurely way.Until he grew up and separated from his family, he was not used to spending too much time on meals.

And now, No. 2 in the college entrance examination in Shandong Province, the proud man who used his mind to change the world, is doing these "wasting life" things for him.

"Elite thinking" taught him to regard time as life, but never taught him how to get along with his lover.

The child in front of him is telling him with practical actions that everything in this world can never be fully explained by theory and data, and that the human heart is a more wonderful and beautiful existence than the brain.

A small TV is hung on the wall at the end of the bed, and every year there is always a new and embarrassing Spring Festival Gala being broadcast live.

Kong Feicheng has never seen this kind of thing seriously. In his big family of so-called "intellectuals", no one likes an overly lively atmosphere. They are rigid and rational, and look down on lower Liba people.Today was the first time that he watched the boring Spring Festival Gala with the Zuo family, who was more like a relative.

The exaggerated dance beauty, the non-funny language program, and the host's patterned smile all failed to satisfy his aesthetics.Zuo Rong's parents were very happy to watch, laughing and discussing a few words from time to time.

Such a scene reassures him that this is how family is, there is no need to put on a show to pursue Yangchun Baixue, and he is willing to show his lowest taste, this is the tacit understanding that family members should have.

It was almost ten o'clock, Zuo Wei had already started to feel dizzy due to the effect of the medicine, Kong Feicheng planned to leave in order not to disturb his rest.Zhou Jing stopped him, and said to Zuo Rong: "Rongrong, your friend finally came to visit, hurry up and play with him, I'm here with your father."

In fact, the mother and son have been taking turns taking care of her these past few days, and Zuo Rong should also take a rest today.Seeing his father on the bed signaling that he was fine, he felt relieved and left with Kong Feicheng.

The two left the ward and walked all the way to the small garden downstairs. They were quiet all the time, and no one spoke.

The new moon is cold, making the night extraordinarily dark.

Suddenly, there was a soft feeling in the palm of the hand, and the fingers that were always as cold as white jade became warm now.

"Don't talk, just hold hands for a while."

Kong Feicheng's voice was very soft, but every word hit her heart just right.He held the temperature in his palm devoutly, as if holding it for a while longer, he could wait for spring on this winter night.

The people beside him looked at the stars in the sky, and Zuo Rong looked at the stars in his eyes.

He suddenly thought of the word "ethereal", which means "the feeling in your heart when you look at that star-like person", which is probably the mood at the moment.

After such a long time, Kong Feicheng finally said, "It's so cold, my little boyfriend, do you want to take me back to the hotel?"

There was still the familiar smile on his face, but it was quite different from usual.No pretense, no deliberation, it was his real emotion.

Zuo Rong was hit in the heart by the word "boyfriend", and the strength in his hands felt a little heavier.I didn't even realize that I was now with a slightly open mouth and a shocked expression on my face.

Kong Feicheng laughed out loud at being so teased by him, pulled her little boyfriend who hadn't recovered to normal, and stopped a car on the road.

The familiar street scene along the way suddenly became unfamiliar, Zuo Rong felt dizzy, never thought that a title would bring him such ecstasy.

It wasn't until he entered Kong Feicheng's room that he finally regained his senses. He found that he was still carrying a bag of snacks bought in a convenience store, and felt a little strange. He didn't even remember going to a convenience store.

"Come and sit, don't just stand around." Kong Fei took the things in his hands and put them on the tea table, beckoning him to sit on the sofa.

Zuo Rong did the same.He took the oolong tea from Kong Feicheng, opened it and took a sip, it was obviously the same as usual, why is it a bit sweet today?He cleared his throat, and then said cautiously, "We... are we considered together?"

Kong Feicheng smiled "puchi", "What else? I don't have the habit of calling strangers boyfriends."

It was as if a hot spring gushed out of the young man's heart, which was so warm and numb that all the cells in his body jumped with joy.

"Boyfriend..." His voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, and he seemed to want to confirm something.

"I'm here." Kong Feicheng shook his hand again, "Thank you for waiting for me."

Zuo Rong suddenly felt very at ease, the despair and exhaustion of the past half month were swept away, no matter how dark the night was, there would be dawn, and his sun was shining brightly beside him at this moment.

"Let's have some snacks, I heard it will make you happier." Kong Feicheng changed the subject and took out a few bags of nuts from the plastic bag.

He is not interested in these, but he remembers that Zuo Rong bought them for himself, saying that nuts are much healthier than potato chips and biscuits, and they are very suitable for killing time.

Zuo Rong immediately took over, skillfully peeling almonds, pecans and macadamia nuts without Kong Feicheng intervening.Of course, he is really not very good at peeling.

So Kong Feicheng sat back and enjoyed the success with peace of mind.

Just like a little hamster was chewing the nuts "creaking", Zuo Rong suddenly took his hand solemnly, and put an extra smooth and plump almond on it.

As if he had made a lot of determination, the young man said seriously: "Did you know? There is a part of the human brain called the amygdala, which is related to visceral and body movements, endocrine, behavior, memory, etc. Its activities constitute the basis for emotional expression." Basics. I once suspected that my amygdala was underdeveloped, and I was always emotionally weak and lacked joy and sorrow.

Later, I met you.I experienced unprecedented miss, jealousy, ecstasy and various emotions.I began to realize that I also have emotions and desires.

Kong Feicheng, this one represents my amygdala, from now on I will leave all my emotions to you. "

The young man's eyes are firm, and the light inside is scorching and dazzling, so that all the hypocrisy in this world has nowhere to hide, and he can only offer a sincere heart in exchange for his supreme love.

"Zuo Rong, come and kiss."

Kong Feicheng didn't wait for him to answer, he put the almond between his lips, cupped the handsome face in front of him, and kissed deeply.

Zuo Rong was so shocked by the sudden kiss that he forgot to close his eyes, his pupils dilated instantly, but the soft touch from his lips was exceptionally clear.

At this moment, the fireworks outside the window were gorgeous, and in the square not far away, the people watching the old year shouted "Happy Chinese New Year" loudly.

In the Lunar New Year, another three hundred days and nights, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and never stops.And the two people who were kissing stopped at this moment amidst the blessings of thousands of families.

The unprocessed almonds still have a bit of bitterness, which is exchanged between the two people's lips and tongues, but after careful tasting, there is a slight aftertaste of sweetness.Zuo Rong couldn't tell for a moment whether the sweet one was almonds or Kong Feicheng.

Counting the forced kiss at the bar, this was the second time. Both of them were unskilled and just followed the instinctive guidance of their followers.At the beginning, it was just a light touch of lips and careful probing of the tip of the tongue, but it didn't take long before it turned into a more intense collision and entanglement. The two lonely souls entrusted their strong love to this kiss.

Kong Feicheng wanted to put on a proficient posture suitable for her age, but she blushed and said to Zuo Rong in a mosquito-like voice: "It's late, it's so cold outside, you just stay here Well, my bed is big."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Rong found that his face was two degrees redder than before, and his slightly red and swollen lips were even more vivid. People couldn't help but wonder if he smelled like cherries.

"Okay." It was difficult for him to say this word, his voice was a little hoarse.

The bed was very spacious, but there was only one quilt, and two 1.8-meter-old boys were lying together, with almost no distance left between them.The temperature of the skin is transmitted through the nightgown, and when it meets the body temperature of the other party, they become entangled together, carrying each other's smell and mood.

"Zuo Rong, you smell very good." Kong Feicheng said looking at the ceiling.

In fact, he smelled it when he was kissed by Zuo Rong for the first time, and now through the thin fabric and the close distance, the smell is even clearer.

Zuo Rong didn't know, so, "It smells like shower gel, it's aquatic."

"No, it's the smell of wind and snow." Kong Feicheng was sure, "It's just the smell of wind and snow falling on the cedar outside the window while drinking coffee in the conservatory."

A cold and harsh young man rested on a cedar on a winter night, looked down at the window of a red-walled building, and saw a beautiful man drinking coffee and looking at him.Fireworks rose from the fireplace behind him, making his cheeks blush, and even the wind and snow around him became comfortable and comfortable.

"Zuo Rong, do you want to do it?"
