this life is waiting

Chapter 21

The weather is getting colder and the end of the semester is getting closer. The attendance rate in class these days is always much higher than before. Everyone is counting on the teacher to say a few key points to make this new year easier.

The flow of people in the library reaches its peak at the end of the semester. I usually don’t join in the fun. In my opinion, the dormitory is the most comfortable existence. When there are no classes, you can stay in bed wrapped in a quilt all day without even changing your pajamas. Can still review.

So when Yuyu came back at night, what she saw was me hugged under the quilt, with only a pair of eyes exposed, watching a drama on the computer.

She turned on the light with a snap, and in order to adapt to the light, I completely wrapped myself in the quilt, and when she called my name, I poked my head out again.

Yuyu smiled strangely and said: "Senior Banhua, this is the filial piety from the younger students."

After she finished speaking, she dropped several bags and came up. I took a look and saw that they were all apples. Then I suddenly realized that today is Christmas Eve.

I looked down and saw that Yuyu was also carrying quite a few more in his hand, presumably it was the wishes of the freshmen, and by the way, a little for me, an empty-nester, but someone thought about it, and my heart was always much happier.I saw that there seemed to be a note next to the apple, so I opened it and took it out.

They are all blessings. Although they are not exaggerated to the point that the cold winter makes me warmer, they still have some effect. I feel that the freshmen are really loving.

There is no need to go out to buy fruit these days.

"In the dormitory every day, aren't you afraid of mold?"

I tidied up my things happily: "Don't be afraid." Looking at the time, I asked: "What time is it, don't you want to go on a date?"

Yuyu laughed, and changed into a coat, "I'm just coming back to change, I'll be out in a while, he insists on me wearing this, it's so ugly."

Her smile was obviously very flat, and her tone was obviously an ordinary complaint, but I tasted the taste of dog food.

Single dogs take warning!In the future special festivals, please do not chat with the person you are interested in.

Before going out, Yuyu knocked on my bed and said, "It seems to be very lively outside tonight, do you want to go out and have a look?"

In fact, I didn't think anything of it at first, but when she came back like this, she disturbed me and then left irresponsibly, which made me feel a little lonely.

Loneliness is an amazing thing. Once you have this thought, the sad breath spreads continuously, and even your toes are laughing at you. It has company and you don't.

So I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I picked up my phone and called He Cheng, and half an hour later, I stood in front of her.

It seems that I haven't seen her for a long time, and I have the illusion that her hair is getting longer. Before I have time to sigh the subtlety of my discovery of things, He Cheng reaches out and gives me a box.

It was boxy, and it must have been filled with apples. I said thank you, threw it into the backpack, and took out the box I had prepared.

Now we are standing under a big tree not far from the school gate. When we called, He Cheng told me that she was going to come back on the street, but I didn't expect that she was alone.

The big tree is turning on the green light at the moment. I never thought that the light effect of this light would be so good. Just now I thought that the big tree would be brighter with the light on, so I came here and stood there, but now it seems that the scenery is quite beautiful.

Maybe it's Christmas Eve, and I like to praise it with a human mood.

The apple for He Cheng is the one I received just now, and the box is also the one that looks the most pleasing to the eye. I was in a hurry to go out and didn't have time to prepare it. Now I think about it, I feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, my thoughts were more than that. Seeing that she was about to put it in the bag, I stretched out my hand to stop it. I pointed to the box in her hand and said, "Open it and have a look."

She paused, opened it obediently, and took out a small wool felt hamster from inside.

"Remember, I said I would give it to you last time. This is too difficult. I have done it for a long time. I have tried my best to repair the ears and legs. The melon seeds on the hamster's hand..."

She suddenly took the end of the key chain and placed it between us, interrupting me: "I thought you forgot."

I chuckled: "How could I forget?"

The hamster made because of my clumsiness is really not perfect at all. Although it looks so-so on the whole, it is actually very lacking in details. I want to continue to explain and find a suitable reason for these shortcomings, but looking at He Cheng He looked happy, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.

She seems to really like it, presumably she likes small animals, not to mention that hamsters are so cute.

Goddesses, don’t they all like small animals? Goddesses and small animals really love each other.Of course, this is also the reason why after discussing with Yuyu, I feel that we are not goddesses.

I saw her put the hamster in the box and put it in the bag. I asked, "Where are you going now? Go back?"

After I finished speaking, I paused.

Wasn't the ending of going back a little too funny, so, on such a cold winter night, I worked so hard to change my clothes and come out, just to give her an apple?

This kind of thing can also be done at the door of the dormitory.

So Zhou Xiaoyi, why did you come out?Can your life be more colorful...

Fortunately, He Cheng was not a person who let me down. Under my extremely expectant gaze, he looked at me with crooked eyebrows and said, "Want to go out to play?"

"Think about it!"

I hardly think about it.

I think I was wrong, I always thought I was living in the dormitory, but it turned out not because I liked it, but because no one went out with me.This statement is really very sad. Why do you want to think about such a melancholy thing in the winter.

I don't know how He Cheng knew there was an event in the city center, but after thinking about it, I'm more likely to be ignorant, so I don't care about it.

Large shopping malls are having big discounts today. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the leisure and entertainment areas here are doing activities.

After we wandered around casually, we found a relatively quiet dessert shop and sat down. I looked at my watch and it was nearly twelve o'clock.

The biological clock at this moment should tell me that I am sleepy, but I am very excited. It is obviously not the first time to be out so late, and it is obviously not the first time to join in this extraordinary excitement, but I am extremely excited.

"There will be fireworks at zero o'clock. They have different shapes every year. There are fireworks and fire, and fire lights of various colors." He Cheng said while pointing to an open space under the window. It was already full of people inside and out.

I wowed and looked back at He Cheng: "You know all about this."

This is whether I am a senior or she is a senior.

He Cheng didn't answer me, just lowered his head and drank tea with a smile.

I also took a sip with her.

I suddenly thought of a question, so I looked at her: "What was your original plan for today?"

She and I, tonight should be regarded as an upgraded version of the encounter, why can such an encounter be arranged so well.

She smiled: "have you noticed that I answered the call as soon as you called?"

I nodded: "Yeah, why?"

She pursed her lips and answered me in a low voice: "Because I was just about to call you."

I paused.

Just about to call me.

So we didn't meet by chance, but she planned it, so she didn't happen to know all this, so all this tonight was deliberately arranged by her?

There was an idea in my heart that was about to come out, but I suppressed it forcibly after a few seconds, and I was actually afraid, afraid that it was true, afraid that it was false.

I dare not have a deep discussion with her on this topic. Fortunately, the bell at zero o'clock happened to be struck at this moment, and we both turned our heads to look out the window. This year, they made a rabbit effect, which was unimaginably realistic. The flames of various colors danced like rabbits, accompanied by the voices of the crowd and the background music of Christmas, which made me smile involuntarily.

The fireworks lasted for a long time, and my restlessness also lasted for a long time. I tilted my head slightly but didn't dare to look at her, so I had to glance at her out of the corner of my eye. with.

Before, I only felt that her occasional appearance and occasional actions touched my heart, but tonight, she touched my heart.

Oh my god, why did he become so artistic all of a sudden? I looked at the gradually extinguishing fire and the dissipating crowd. I reached out for the cold water instead of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

He Cheng in front of him also turned his gaze back, then flipped through the bag beside him, took a box from it, put it on the table, and pushed it down in front of me.

"Huh?" I wondered.

She withdrew her hand and touched the glass: "It was Christmas Eve just now, and this one is for Christmas."

I swallowed my saliva while ignoring some of the details that had already happened. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why do you keep giving me things?"

Earrings, apples, and pens that I didn't mention, gloves, it seems there are still.Most of them are given away by her.But why did I accept it at the time?What did she say to me?

God, thinking about it this way, why am I like this!

However, she didn't care at all, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I bought everything."

I:……

I silently put the box into the bag again, because of this accident, the shadow just now was swept away, so we chatted again and again, maybe because we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I found what I thought was an ordinary life , Can squeeze out so many new and fun things.

The slowly elongated time finally made me a little sleepy. After I couldn't hold back the sleepiness and closed my eyes again, He Cheng said: "Go back?"

I lifted my head and nodded.

Soon, we went out and stopped the car to go back to school. The dormitory building at midnight was very quiet. We tacitly walked side by side without turning on the lights, and there was only the occasional sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

I have always hated that I live on the 5th floor and there is no elevator, but today I suddenly wish to live higher.

After all, the slow pace is coming to an end. When I reached the stairs on our floor, I stopped suddenly.

He Cheng also stopped after a second, and turned to look at me: "What's wrong?"

I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe it's an indirect foot cramp, but my feet are fine now.

Maybe it's a brain cramp.

I had cramp anyway, so I had another cramp and said, "Will you spend Christmas with me next year?"

There is no moonlight, no windows, no lights. I don’t know where I borrowed the light. I can’t see her expression clearly, only her general outline.

That's fine, don't make me face her, don't make me feel embarrassed.

Her heart beat faster than her answer. I don't know why such a simple question makes me so nervous.

Soon, I heard her ask back: "Next year?"

There was a smile in her words, which made me dizzy.

I thought, if I faint now, will it alarm the aunt in charge of the dormitory, will it affect the final score, or just pretend to faint.

In fact, in order not to spoil the mood, what I did not mention is that the two of us came in over the wall just now.

Well, I'm still spoiling the mood.

Oh, I'm really nervous, why on earth did I ask her this question in such a sensitive atmosphere.

I swallowed, and heard her tone still the same: "Is it just next year?"

This sentence made me feel relieved immediately, I smiled, and jumped to her side in three steps and two steps, I said in a normal and happy tone: "Every year!" I spend every year with you, okay?"

She said, "Okay."

The subject didn't continue, but thin air told me she laughed.

After saying goodbye and returning to the dormitory, I found that my palms were sweating profusely, and I turned my head to look at Yuyu's bed, and she had already fallen asleep in the dark.

I urgently need to talk now, and this talk kept popping up in my mind, so I lowered my body, lifted Yuyu's quilt, found her hand and grabbed it.

Regardless of whether she has been awakened by me, I said anxiously: "I feel, I seem to..."

She hummed sleepily a few times, as if she opened her eyes to look at me.

I sighed, stopped talking, put her hands away, covered the quilt, and stood up.

I'm... ok... nothing...

Really.
