Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Chapter 36

On the day of the holiday, Yang Siyuan was tired of packing up, so he stared at the empty lower bunk in a daze.Yu Fei usually doesn't spend extra time studying in the dormitory, so he packs everything early.

"I haven't lived here for long, and I have to move back home. Is there any trouble?" Yu Fei sat on the suitcase and muttered with a pen in his mouth.

Yang Siyuan took advantage of the opportunity to sit on Qi Ming's empty bed, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe Qi Ming has to repeat the study?"

The dangling pen stopped suddenly, Yu Fei raised his eyelids, snorted and said, "You really care."

"Why do I feel like you get thorns all over when you mention him? Do you have a problem with him?" Yang Siyuan gave a "tsk".

"Can't I simply dislike him?" Yu Fei raised his eyebrows, then leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Why, you like him a lot?"

"I think he's very nice." Yang Siyuan didn't like his sloppy look, and shrank back.

"Is he 'nice' if he doesn't fart all day? Or is he warm to you?"

Yang Siyuan couldn't take it anymore, and frowned and retorted: "He is more introverted, but he hasn't done anything bad, right? I think he studies hard and is very polite. Why are you so prejudiced? "

Yu Fei squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, and Yang Siyuan was furious with that hooligan-like gaze. Seeing Yang Siyuan looking like he was going to hit someone, he snorted and went out with his pen again.

Seeing him wandering out of the dormitory, Yang Siyuan wanted to slap himself.

I used to think that he was a bit like Li Yu'an at times, but let's put it down, Li Yu'an is such an idiot.

Well, Li Yuan is better.Yang Siyuan rubbed his nose, thinking.

He thought to himself, naturally he had to hurry to visit him after the holiday, Yang Siyuan originally planned to do so, but two days before the holiday Chen Limei insisted on dragging him to buy New Year's clothes, so he had to delay for a while.

When the holiday was just over, the prices of clothes in the market hadn't gone up like crazy, so there were an unusually large number of people buying clothes.They often go to the clothing market and it's an old market, the roads are very narrow, and Yang Siyuan feels very uncomfortable because of the crowding.

"Why don't you buy one like this? It's red, so festive!" Chen Limei was carrying a red down jacket, her face full of excitement.

Yang Siyuan sighed. After so many years, her aesthetic level has not improved with the progress of the times, and she is still standing still obediently.

I tried a few but couldn’t find the right one, either because the quality was poor or the shape was ugly, and the one I wanted to buy had to meet the tastes of both mother and child. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.After shopping all over the street and eating several fried skewers, the two finally gave up on the clothing market and decided to go to a brand store.

"Don't buy short ones, right? You always wear short ones. Our height is here, why don't we wear long ones to show mom?" Chen Limei couldn't touch his son's head, so she touched his neck, explain.

"Hiss..." Yang Siyuan shrank his neck from her cold hands: "As long as it suits me, I can do it."

"Huh?" Yang Siyuan pulled his collar and warmed his neck. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of a navy blue coat in the next window.

The clothes are long, he is almost knee-length, he has pockets on the sleeves and front, and there are a lot of nylon buttons for decoration, which looks neat and fashionable.

When Chen Limei saw that there were finally clothes her son liked, she dragged him into the store without saying a word.

"Want this? Is this... is the color too dark? For Chinese New Year, I need to wear something brighter... What kind of material is this..." Chen Limei rubbed her sleeves, as if an experienced chef was choosing ingredients .

Yang Siyuan walked around the coat, pulled out the tag and looked at the price, feeling that it was within his tolerance, and called a busy shop assistant over.

"Is this available in other colors?" he asked.

"Yes, yes, is there any red or yellow?" Chen Limei was sure that Yang Siyuan had taken a fancy to this dress, and asked quickly.

"This dress is a new one from our side, so there are not many colors yet. There are navy blue, gray, and black. Which one do you like?" the clerk said.

Black and gray are too heavy, and navy blue is clean and high-end, especially suitable for those with cold temperament...

"Navy blue, can I try a size 180?" Yang Siyuan asked.

"Okay, wait a minute."

"Navy blue...is it too dark? Would you like to look at other ones?" Chen Limei said, curling her lips.

Yang Siyuan took the clothes and walked to the fitting room, turned around and smiled, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll try it first."

The clothes are too big, but it is convenient to wear a thick sweater underneath. The material is also comfortable, and the warmth retention seems to be good.Sure enough, brand stores should be more reliable.

Yang Siyuan fiddled and fiddled, arranged the nylon buttons more neatly, and went out of the fitting room to look in the mirror.

In the mirror was a tall boy with slightly longer hair on his forehead, but it was far from covering those bright eyes.I have been obsessed with studying recently, and I only eat meals from the cafeteria. I have lost a lot of flesh on my face, but I am not thin, and I still look very energetic.

The clothes are in dark tones, and he feels like warm tones, which really doesn't match well.

But... what were you thinking just now?Navy blue is clean and high-end, especially suitable for the cold-tempered... Li Yu'an.

"Oh, change it, it doesn't suit you, this color is too heavy." Chen Limei shook her head.

Yang Siyuan took off his clothes, handed them to the clerk, and said, "That's all I need, a size 180 is fine." Then he turned to Chen Limei and said, "I don't wear this, I bought it for Li Yu'an. Use my pocket money."

……

It's interesting to say that after Yang Siyuan bought this dress, his mood became super good. As long as Chen Limei's favorite clothes are not so unacceptable, he has no objection.Strolling until the evening, the two returned home with a few big bags, and along the way, mother and child walked side by side, and it seemed no big deal without the shadow of their father.

The next day, Yang Siyuan went to find Li Yu'an without any clothes, he wanted to surprise him during the Spring Festival.

When he arrived, Li Yu'an hadn't come back yet. Looking at the time, he reckoned that he was on his way home from get off work, so he stamped his feet and waited at the door for a while.Within a few minutes, Li Yu'an came back with a bag of meat and vegetables. Those who didn't know it thought they had bought new year's goods in advance.

Seeing someone jumping back and forth at the door like a roe deer, Li Yu'an froze for a moment, and hurried forward to open the door for him.

"Ah, you're back." Yang Siyuan stopped the tap dance.

Li Yu'an responded, his hands were a little cold, and he was still carrying something, and the unlocking was really not smooth.

"Come on, give me... hiss! Why are your hands so cold?" Yang Siyuan said, and lifted the bag in his hand, touching Li Yuan's barely warm fingers, he was startled.

He was beginning to regret not having brought him the coat.Surprised, this person is afraid that he will freeze to death, what is not a surprise, survival is more important.

The lock that had been rusted for many years was finally opened, and Li Yu'an hurriedly pulled Yang Siyuan into the house.

"Wait a minute, I'll start a fire..." Li Yu'an was in a hurry, not caring to reply to him.

Yang Siyuan sat obediently on the bed, feeling that it was colder than before at night.With his hands on the quilt beside him, he felt the legendary "cloth quilt has been as cold as iron for many years".He glanced at the dusty radiator, feeling a little complicated, and stretched his neck to look out again.

He seems to have come a bit early, and Li Yu'an's place does not have 24-hour heating, so I'm afraid he has to turn on the stove himself when he gets home.When I was here at night, the fire had been burning for at least a few hours, so it was no wonder that it felt extraordinarily cold at the moment.

Li Yu'an was in the hut outside, hunched over, probably fiddling with something.The windows were small and dirty, and Yang Siyuan couldn't see clearly.

After a while, Li Yu'an came in with a coal tong carrying two or three pieces of briquettes.

Yang Siyuan only saw this kind of briquette when he was a child when he went to his grandma's house, but now he was a little surprised to see it in the city.

But this place is really remote, and it is going to be connected to the township. It seems normal that there is no unified heating.

Yang Siyuan didn't want Li Yu'an to feel that there was a distance between their lives, so he didn't ask any questions. He turned his head and saw so many ingredients on the table just now, hehehe twice, and said, "I bought so many delicious foods, didn't I?" Do you know I'm on vacation?"

He originally thought that Li Yu'an was finally obedient and was willing to make up for it, and he said this just to tease him, but in the end, Li Yu'an didn't say a word, just buried his head in his work.

Maybe my face turned red.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Siyuan blinked and exclaimed, "Wow, isn't it, let me make it right?"

He rushed to the stove, bent over and walked around Li Yuan, wanting to see his expression.

"Can you stop shaking?" Li Yu'an said helplessly.

"What are you going to do for me? I love beef, will you do it?" Yang Siyuan asked.

"... know how to stew beef."

"Okay! I'll call and tell my mother that I won't be going back today! Well, let me tell you, your cooking is better than my mother's, really."

"……childish."

Lighting a fire is a technical job, and it takes a long time to warm up the house after it is done. It stands to reason that the house is still like an icehouse, but Yang Siyuan feels warm all over. I wonder if it is because he thought of a pot of steaming hot pot. Stewed beef.

After Li Yu'an lit the fire, he went to stew beef without stopping. Yang Siyuan didn't know how to cook such a complicated dish, and he didn't know what he could do, and he didn't want to eat for free, so he kept walking around Li Yu'an.

"Hey, have you cleaned the pot? Shall I clean the pot?"

"It's finished."

"Oh... do you need to wash the dishes?"

"……unnecessary."

Yang Siyuan was buzzing, and Li Yuan's head was so annoyed that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he randomly assigned him a task: "You... go and chop a radish, the radish should not be too big."

Yang Siyuan immediately threw down the dishcloth: "Decree!"

The kitchen is small and the lights are not very bright. The two people turned their backs to each other, each busy with the work at hand. During the period, they didn't talk much. There was only the sound of kitchen utensils colliding and pots gurgling, but neither of them was indifferent. feel embarrassed.

Instead, they feel at ease.

There is someone behind me, he is working hard for me, I don't need to look back at him, I know he is there.

"How is working in a milk tea shop recently?" Yang Siyuan asked during the meal.

"Get off work early, and the wages have dropped a little."

"Then you come back at night and write the manuscript all the time?"

Li Yu'an shook his head: "It won't take that long to write...it takes a lot of energy to write. Usually it's enough at nine o'clock, and it's better to be earlier when it's fast."

"And sleep?"

"Can't sleep. Just do something." Li Yu'an said.

"Then... do you plan to return to your old job, Teacher Li?" Yang Siyuan asked after he was full.

"...Do you still need it now?" Li Yu'an ate slowly, glanced at Yang Siyuan with the bowl in his hand, and asked.

"I've always needed you." Yang Siyuan tilted his head and said.

This extremely neurotic person in some respects didn't even think about the consequences of adding an extra word. He only had two sentences in his mind-my math is terrible, and Li Yu'an is short of money.

But this word, like a thorn, pierced Li Yuan's heart fiercely.

Every time the heart beats, it hurts.

He will feel pain, but only pain can let him know that he still has a heartbeat.

He panicked, lowered his head to pick up a piece of radish and chewed it.

"Then your mother..."

"If you don't come, she will have to find someone else for me. I'm afraid that she will find someone for me long ago... Don't worry, if it's you, she will definitely agree!"

The radish is stewed a bit soft, and it tastes glutinous and fragrant.

Li Yu'an licked his mouth and nodded slowly.

"Okay! There are a lot of things in the past two days, and you have to prepare, so let's go on Friday!" Seeing that he agreed, Yang Siyuan laughed foolishly without any concealment.

Thinking of seeing Li Yu'an every night during the holiday, he felt that his stomach was not filled with beef, but invincible colorful lollipops - the only sweet he liked to eat when he was a child.

……

Two days later, Qin Ziliang came back.

He stayed at the school to do a practical activity, so he came back late, but he was very happy to be able to catch up with Yang Siyuan when he was free.After all, in two days, Yang Siyuan's mind will be full of Miss Li's make-up lessons.

A group of friends discussed how to welcome him, and booked a table in the restaurant they often go to. The dishes in the restaurant are only so delicious, and the dishes ordered by a few people are basically the same as before.

There were not many people present, only Fan Li was missing.

She seems to have returned to her hometown, so she can't come.That's what it says, but there's no way of knowing if it's true or not.

At the dinner table, Qin Ziliang asked Chen Miao meanly: "Hey, Miao Miao, how are you and that male god?"

"You are the only one with a mouth! Eat your food!" Chen Miao threw his napkin, causing everyone to laugh.

"Why, Lao Qin has found Ruan Ruanxiang?" Someone asked.

Qin Ziliang quickly waved his hands: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, it hasn't been done yet..."

This was clearly the default, and everyone booed after finding out the material.

Yang Siyuan also laughed, but looking at Qin Ziliang who was happy, he still thought of Fan Li.

Are some people destined not to be able to get the permanent gaze of others?

It's not that he thinks Qin Ziliang is a scum, on the contrary, he admires his character of being able to afford and let go.He just felt sorry for the two he missed.

It's sad, not regretful.

The two of them may really be inappropriate, but it's really hard to let go of missing each other.

While drinking and drinking, Yang Siyuan remembered what Fan Li said again.

——If you like someone one day, you must tell him immediately.Don't miss it.

But not all likes can be said unscrupulously.

Sometimes it's like a gamble. If you win, you don't necessarily get much money. If you lose, you have nothing.

But now Yang Siyuan didn't even think about winning or losing.Because he didn't even realize that he was already standing in front of the gambling table.

……

At the end of the year, Yang Siyuan didn't want to disturb Qin Ziliang's interest, so he never told him about him and Fan Li.

Chen Miao stopped for a long time, at first Yang Siyuan thought that she had given up and found another new love based on experience, but he found that this was not the case.

After the dinner was over, everyone separated at the door, Chen Miao dismissed Qin Ziliang and pulled Yang Siyuan aside.

Although he had just eaten, the cold air outside was still strong enough to make people shiver. Seeing that Chen Miao's face was turning red from the cold, Yang Siyuan quickly put on her hat.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Li Yu'an... What will Li Yu'an do for the new year?" Chen Miao seemed to be very concerned about this issue, her words were full of distress and worry.

Of course Yang Siyuan knew what she meant, and shook his head: "He...he hasn't told me about the details of his family...but he probably has to live alone..."

When he said this, he himself felt uncomfortable.

"I'm sure I won't be able to accompany him..." Chen Miao bit her lower lip, looking very confused.

Yang Siyuan let out a "huh" and asked, "I thought you wanted to accompany him when you asked that way?"

"He definitely doesn't want to." Chen Miao muttered, "I don't care now... I just think he is too lonely for the New Year alone, and it doesn't matter if I accompany him... Anyway, he is not happy when I accompany him .”

Why does this sound like a wonderful taste of selflessness mixed with sorrow?

But Yang Siyuan was still taken aback by Chen Miao's thought, how could Chen Miao be so willing to be wronged?

It seems that she really has a lot of affection, it seems that she really doesn't just look at the face.

In fact, even if she didn't raise this question, Yang Siyuan would still consider it.After all, he has been to Li Yu'an's house so many times, he knows what's going on in his house better than Chen Miao.

"Well... I was thinking about bringing him to my house for a new year. It just so happens that he is my tutor now, and there is a reason to stay during the Spring Festival." Yang Siyuan said.

Chen Miao thought about it, and felt that it was okay, and she felt happier at the moment, and told Yang Siyuan to treat him well and give him a big red envelope.

Yang Siyuan thought to himself, my red envelope has 180 yards.

After sending Chen Miao home, Yang Siyuan walked against the cold wind on this familiar street, the street lamps on both sides chased after each other, the particles in the air moved slowly, everything seemed extraordinarily quiet because of the desertedness.

Although the season is not suitable, he seems to have returned to the summer a few months ago.

Walking briskly, humming a tune that no one can understand...

"Dala da la da la..."

What was the tune behind it, he forgot.

Suddenly found that he hadn't hummed for a long time.
