This snow fell on and off for nearly half a month.

Although the weather was cold, the people walking on the streets were all in high spirits.

Because New Year is coming soon.

After working hard for a whole year, it’s only at this time that you can finally relax and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet.

Cui Xian was reading in the room as usual.

Mr. Dong Lai opened the curtain and walked in, white air coming out of his mouth as he spoke: "It's almost the New Year, why are you still watching? Don't watch it, don't watch it."

"What kind of child would read books all the time? Go out and play, walk around, and rest your eyes."

"I see your friends have been looking for you outside every day lately."

Upon hearing this, Cui Xian reluctantly put down the book, bowed to the teacher, and then walked out of the courtyard.

The snow on the road outside hasn't melted yet, but there are many pedestrians.

Everyone is busy buying New Year's goods, carrying all kinds of things they have bought. The sounds of laughter and vendors hawking their wares are endless, making the place extremely lively.

Cui Xian stood in the crowd a little dazed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

I have been immersed in the sea of ​​books recently, reading quietly every day. Suddenly I came to this noisy environment and felt a little at a loss.

At this moment.

Bang!

A snowball hit Cui Xian on the back of the head.

Snowflakes flew and landed on his neck, making him shiver with cold.

Then, several people rushed over to him at the same time and grabbed his shoulders.

"Haha, it's really you, my brother."

"I saw you from a distance just now and almost didn't recognize you. Why do you look so dazed? And, we brothers have been looking for you in Zhongjing Lane every day recently, but we didn't dare to knock on your teacher's door."

"Brother Xian, have some candied haws."

"Come to think of it, it feels like I haven't seen you, brother Xian, for a long time."

Who else could have surrounded them except Pei Jian, Li Heyu, Gao Qi and Zhuang Jin?

The winter is cold.

They were wearing thick clothes and collars around their necks, looking a little bloated and silly.

Cui Xian was about to speak when a candied haws was stuffed into his mouth: "Brother... um..."

Pei Jian looked at him with a smile and said, "Today is the Little New Year. You shouldn't still be reading, right? It's been a long time since we brothers got together! We agreed that after we went to Mr. Dong Lai's place, we would often come to play together."

"What a relief! I can't even see you!"

Zhuang Jin and the other two expressed their agreement and accused Cui Xian together.

But even though he complained, he was reluctant to let go of the hand that was around the other person's shoulders.

Cui Xian took a bite of the candied haws in his mouth; it was sweet, crispy and cool.

After swallowing it, I felt like I had woken up from my dazed state.

He put his arms around the elder brothers and begged for mercy with a smile: "I am ignorant! So, today I will do nothing but keep you happy! Whatever you want to eat or buy, I will pay for it!"

Oh no!

Hearing such generous words, Pei Jian and his friends cheered and expressed their desire to "slaughter the rich man".

However, when the brothers were at the stall, picking out some firecrackers and waiting for the big customers to pay.

Cui Xian took out a book from his arms.

He was stunned for a moment, then reached into his sleeves and waist, and what he pulled out were several different books.

This is embarrassing.

Cui Xian raised his head with an embarrassed look.

Pei Jian was speechless. He paid the money with a smile and said jokingly, "Brother Xian, you are becoming more and more like a nerd now!"

Several people took firecrackers, lit them in the open snow, and then ran away.

With a bang, snowflakes flew everywhere.

Zhuang Jin, who ran the slowest, was sprayed with snow in the face and angrily said, "Pei Jian, you did this on purpose!"

Pei Jian looked innocent: "I'm not, I didn't!"

The two of them started quarreling on the spot.

Cui Xian took great pains to successfully mediate the situation.

Finally, they were too exhausted to fight anymore, so the five of them just lay down on the ground, slept side by side in their snow nest, and stared at the sky in a daze.

It’s cold in winter, and the air you exhale is white.

Cui Xian found it strange that they suddenly stopped talking.

He protected the book in his hand to avoid getting wet by the snow, and subconsciously asked: "Brothers, while I have been busy studying recently, you have not been lazy in the school, right?"

The four of them were silent for a moment.

Pei Jian was the first to say in dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about! How could we be lazy? Wu Qinglan has been praising us like a flower recently!"

Zhuang Jin, Li Heyu and others echoed: "That's right!"

How dare you say such lies?

Cui Xian was speechless, but thinking that it was New Year's Day, he did not ask further questions and said with a smile: "When you are away for three days, you should look at each other with new eyes. Brothers, I really admire you!"

Upon hearing this, the young masters were very proud and looked extremely cocky.

That day, they were outside and had a great time all day.

At night, we went our separate ways. Because today was the Little New Year, we had to go home early.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Cui Xian waved goodbye to them, turned around, and walked back while subconsciously opening the book in his hand and reading as he walked.

Pei Jian, Li Heyu, Zhuang Jin and Gao Qi watched him go home, and the happiness they had just pretended disappeared in an instant.

It turned into depression, self-deprecation, and misery.

What Pei Jian said was, of course, false. Wu Qinglan did not praise them, but recently began to call them rotten wood.

Every time I take an exam, I get scolded.

Because I studied terribly and did terribly on the exam.
