Chapter 71 Winter, Snow, New Year's Eve
Outside the school gate.
Zheng Yu wrapped his hands with his sleeves and tapped the screen of his mobile phone awkwardly.
"Strange, where did Wu Shuo fall? He hasn't replied to my message in such a long time."
Xu Yucheng was also curled up. She and Zhou Zhou waited here every day, so there was no need to send messages. Her cell phone was lying quietly in her schoolbag.
She walked to the side of the road, squatted down and grabbed some snow with her hands. Although it was less than a day, the white snow had already fallen and covered the ground with a thin layer.
The snow quickly melted in her palms, and before she could grab another handful, someone pulled up the collar of her clothes.
It was easy to tell who it was. Xu Yucheng slapped the hand away, her voice slightly higher, "Zhou Zhou! I have to maintain my image too, please let me go."
Zhou Yichen brought the man up, a smile on his lips, "Don't get cold."
She sighed, it was another day that Zhou Zhou comforted her.
There was a sound of hair exploding beside me.
"Wu Shuo! Let me go!"
Wu Shuo didn't want to pay attention to her, but the woman threw a snowball at his head, which made him so angry that he pinned her down.
Zheng Yu dug with her hands and kicked back, "Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up."
"You're still trying to beat me, but it's still unclear who will beat whom." Wu Shuo was now arrogant, and he didn't loosen up his grip at all.
Zheng Yu gritted his teeth secretly. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. He tried to smile. "I have deeply realized my mistakes. Can you please let me go? Do you know how embarrassing this is?"
"The smile is not sincere, it's too fake."
She was so angry!
Wu Shuo remembered that she ignored him when he greeted her today, so he used a little more force in his hands.
Zheng Yu compromised, "Is it okay if I'm wrong? At worst, you can throw me once, and I will never fight back."
"That's what you said."
She nodded quickly, "I said so."
Wu Shuo let her go, ran back a few meters, picked up a large lump of snow from the ground, and rolled it into a ball.
He took the snowball in his hand, raised it high, aimed at the target, and moved forward.
Zheng Yu was so scared that he squatted down with his head in his hands.
"You won't fight back, you coward."
She immediately retorted, "I'm not a fool. If I don't hide, I'll just wait for you to hit me. I said I won't fight back, but I never said I won't hide."
Wu Shuo sneered and showed her the snowball in his hand. "You're scared by a feint. You're really a coward. Plus, your eyesight isn't very good. You have a lot of shortcomings."
Zheng Yu was quiet this time. She was afraid of doing something extreme in anger, so she raised her hand to suppress her rising anger.
Xu Yucheng was squatting on the ground with her hands clasped, watching them quarreling, her eyes curved with a smile.
Commonly known as: watching a play.
Zhou Yichen pulled the person up, brought her in front of him, and held her hand tightly.
"What should we eat? I'm hungry." Wu Shuo touched his stomach.
Zheng Yuyuan moved a few steps to the side, away from this person.
Wu Shuo immediately laughed, thinking about what happened today, he grinned.
Zheng Yu moved further away because she was afraid of being infected.
On the sidewalk, Wu Shuo finally spoke again, "Hey, let me tell you something. Today, there was a funny guy in our class. He went to the toilet to poop and squatted there for the entire class. When he got up to flush, his poop froze."
As soon as he finished speaking, his laughter continued.
Zheng Yu, “…”
Xu Yucheng turned her head and glanced at the people around her, "Zhou Zhou, I want to eat hot pot."
"Orange, I want to eat some too. It's cold, so we should eat something hot."
Zhou Yichen rubbed her head and said, "Then let's go eat."
The three of them walked forward in unison.
Wu Shuo was confused and stood there staring at them. He began to doubt himself and said to himself, "Strange, isn't it funny?"
"Hey! Why don't you wait for me?"
Zheng Yu in front said, "If I stay with that guy any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."
Inside the hot pot restaurant.
A few people asked for a private room. The heating was on in the room, and it was still a bit hot after staying there for a long time.
Xu Yucheng took off her down jacket and put it aside, rolled up her sleeves, and swallowed her saliva while looking at the red oil in the pot.
Zhou Yichen laughed and let her do what she wanted seeing that she was happy.
Wu Shuo couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up his chopsticks and fished from the pot.
Zheng Yu stopped him and said, "It's not cooked yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Let me see if there's anything else I need to add."
It was finally cooked, and three pairs of chopsticks went into the pot. Xu Yucheng scooped up a piece of tripe and put the first bite into the bowl of the person next to him.
"Zhou Zhou, eat quickly."
The two people opposite said in unison, "Huh~"
Xu Yucheng didn't feel embarrassed either. They had been together for a long time and knew each other very well.
Just as Wu Shuo was about to put the beef in his mouth, he saw the person next to him pick up a piece of ginger. Thinking she was going to throw it away, he ignored her.
Until his eardrum was vibrated, "What are you doing?"
Zheng Yu spat the ginger in his mouth onto the paper and threw it into the trash can, still puzzled, "I clearly picked up a potato."
Wu Shuo now really felt that her eyesight was not good, and shook his head helplessly.
Zhou Yichen only paid attention to the people around him. When he saw the little girl wanted to drink water because of the spicy food, he handed it to her in time.
"What else does Chengcheng want to eat?"
Xu Yucheng pointed to the green vegetables in the pot.
The next second, the food appeared in the bowl.
While Wu Shuo was taking a sip of water, he saw the person next to him pick up another red pepper from the pot. This time he quickly put down his cup to stop him.
Zheng Yu watched the spicy beef he had finally picked up fall back into the pot, and he got angry. "What are you doing?"
"That's chili." Wu Shuo didn't think that she was eating chili on purpose, because this woman couldn't eat spicy food very well. When she was at his house before, she often asked for water to drink because of the spicy food.
"Ah! What!" Zheng Yu blinked and was stunned.
"Forget it, your eyesight isn't very good, I'll take care of you for Uncle Zheng first."
Wu Shuo took out some of the vegetables and meat that she often ate from the pot.
In a short while, Zheng Yu's bowl was full and she ate happily.
We finished the hotpot meal with laughter and joy. Looking out the window, the snowflakes outside seemed to be getting bigger.
Xu Yucheng leaned back in the chair, her little face full of satisfaction.
Zhou Yichen took her clothes and put them on her, "Go out for a walk and come back later."
"OK."
Zheng Yu waved his hand, "Chengzi, you guys go first. I'm a little full, so I'll sit for a while."
Seeing Wu Shuo was there, Xu Yucheng nodded and agreed.
After the person left, Zheng Yu glanced at the person next to him and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Wu Shuo stopped joking this time and spoke more seriously, "Are you nearsighted?"
"You are shortsighted!"
He didn't care much at first, but when he saw her pick up the wrong item more than twice while eating hot pot, his brows furrowed, "I'm serious."
Zheng Yu stopped arguing with him. He thought about what happened today and fell silent.
She didn't wear glasses before, and Wu Shuo knew this.
He stood up, magnified a few words on his phone, walked to the door of the private room, and said to her, "Can you see the words above?"
Zheng Yu's playful expression also disappeared, and he shook his head. "Blurry."
Wu Shuo looked at the large characters occupying his phone screen and said with certainty, "You are nearsighted. This is the result of lying in bed reading novels every night."
The first statement is correct.
Zheng Yu thought about how her eyes suddenly felt sore when she was reading at night these past few days. Sometimes, when she looked at the book so closely, the words on it were blurred and she would even shed tears.
It’s over!
Wu Shuo put away his phone and said, "Stay up late, read less novels, and have Uncle Zheng take you for a checkup tomorrow and get you a pair of glasses."
"My dad's not here."
"Let Auntie take you there."
"My mother isn't here either."
Wu Shuo stared at her, "Then how are you going to eat?"
Zheng Yu shrugged, "Outside."
"Why don't you come to my house?"
"I'm thin-skinned and would feel embarrassed if I went there too often."
Wu Shuo really wanted to expose her, "Yes, yes, you are thin-skinned, then I am thick-skinned. I will ask you to come to my house for dinner starting tomorrow, okay?"
Zheng Yu actually wanted to go very much, but she couldn't agree to it.
He said first, "Okay, it's settled. I'll go back and ask my dad to talk to Uncle Zheng."
Wu Shuo stood up and said, "Let's go. If you don't digest all this food, you're going to get constipated and your shit will freeze."
Zheng Yu was originally quite touched, but suddenly heard this and wanted to curse, "Are you kidding me, big brother? I just finished eating, why don't you do this disgusting thing? I'm really impressed."
"Okay." Wu Shuo smiled and raised his chin. "Go home and sleep early. Set the alarm and wait for me at the mall tomorrow morning."
"What are you doing? You have classes tomorrow."
"I'm taking you to get glasses. Can you attend class with your eyesight?"
Zheng Yu felt that one day she would be mad at him to death because she couldn't speak properly.
On the white street, Xu Yucheng held the hand of the person next to her, and behind them were the footprints left by them.
"Zhou Zhou, it's winter again."
I really can’t count how many winters they have spent together.
Zhou Yichen smiled and said, "It's New Year's Eve again soon."
Xu Yucheng muttered, "I should still go to my grandma and grandpa's house for the New Year this year."
"Wait until you come back."
Winter, snow, New Year's Eve, they will always be there.
