Chen Shengxu, it's snowing.
The next day at noon, Chen Shengxu received a phone call while he was still asleep.
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, I am Gu Yu."
“Gu Yu…” Chen Shengxu immediately sat up. “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
He went to wash up shirtless, holding his phone.
Didn't you sleep well last night?
"A little bit, it's not important."
He didn't just not sleep well; he felt that his relationship with Gu Yu had taken another step forward, and he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until after 5 a.m.
He quickly washed up, then put on a long-sleeved shirt and sat down obediently.
They realized that they weren't hitting the video.
He rubbed his face.
I was too nervous.
He asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I'm eating takeout." Gu Yu turned on the camera.
When Chen Shengxu saw her face, he suddenly smiled.
Gu Yu said, "I'll show you." Then he pointed the camera at the spicy hot pot on the table.
Chen Shengxu: "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. I've ordered it many times. You haven't tried it yet, have you? I'll tell you the name of the restaurant so you can give it a try."
"good."
Chen Shengxu casually ordered a set meal with both meat and vegetables and then ignored it.
He watched Gu Yu eat the spicy hot pot bite by bite, as if they had never been separated for those two years.
After Gu Yu finished eating and cleaned up, he hung up the phone.
My message: [I'm going to take a nap now, and my roommates are going to take a nap too. Good afternoon.]
Likes Xiao Chen +1: [Okay, good afternoon.]
Gu Yu checked his phone as soon as he woke up.
Likes Xiao Chen +1: [I have to go back to Liangcheng this afternoon, something urgent comes up. I'll come see you next time.]
Like Xiao Chen +1: [Transfer 5200]
Like Xiao Chen +1: [Eat well and take good care of yourself.]
Likes Xiao Chen +1: [I originally brought you a scarf, thinking of giving it to you personally today or tomorrow, but I'm a bit late, so I gave it to Yu Cihuan. You can find him when you wake up.]
Then a while passed.
Like Xiao Chen +1: [A bit annoying because I only ate a few bites of that spicy hot pot, what a waste!]
Likes Xiao Chen +1: [I've arrived at the train station.]
Like Xiao Chen +1: [The car's started moving, it's a bit noisy, and I'm hungry. I've decided to order some spicy hot pot when I get back!]
Like Xiao Chen +1: [I've arrived! Time to go to work, but I can reply to messages.]
When Gu Yu saw the last one, the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
He's implying I should message him.
She replied by quoting each of the replies.
She promised that they would go to the restaurant together to eat that spicy hot pot next time, told him not to work too hard, to eat on time, and said that he could call her for a while if he had time in the evening.
Chen Shengxu smiled when he saw her reply, and was even happier after seeing that the transfer had been received.
He raised his hand and declared, "Dinner's on me tonight!"
"Oh—thank you, Mr. Chen!"
A group of boys in their early twenties excitedly fawned over him.
He wasn't angry and let them joke around.
Meimei called Gu Yu that evening.
A few days later, Old Chen came to find him.
The father and son sat at the table for dinner that evening.
They talked all night long.
Discuss Chen Shengxu's future goals and plans, as well as the difficulties and bottlenecks he will encounter. Discuss his future and present situation with Gu Yu.
Old Chen said, "All decisions need to be thought through before acting, and you must understand things clearly before taking action."
Chen Shengxu said, "I will shoulder the responsibilities that a man should bear, whether at work or in life."

Gu Yu's mood improved day by day, and he chatted with Chen Shengxu more and more each day.
When she video-chatted with Mrs. Gu at noon, Mrs. Gu asked her, "What good things have happened lately? You seem to be in such a good mood."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "It's a secret."
“Oh dear, you have your own little secret,” Madam Gu guessed who it was about. “Then I’ll just have to wait until you’re willing to tell me this secret.”
"It won't be long."
"good."

Chen Shengxu saw a post on his phone saying that there was a temple on a mountaintop in the southern part of the city where prayers were very effective.
He bought a ticket to the south of the city, and when he got there, he went to that mountain. He climbed for six hours and arrived in the afternoon.
He prayed repeatedly, and seeing others buying red bracelets, he went too.
But he arrived a little late.
The young monk at the stall asked him, "Who do you want to give this to?"
"This is for the person I plan to spend my life with."
"The bracelet is gone, but the anklet is still here, and it works just as well."
"Then I'll take one."
The little monk gave him one.
He returned to the foot of the mountain, just as Gu Yu told him that his get out of class was over.
Childish Ghost: [Are you free? I've come to the South City.]
Future girlfriend: [Yes, where are you? I'll come find you.]
He sent a voice message: "Wait for me at the school gate. I'll take a taxi there. It's a bit windy, so wear a scarf."
Gu Yu also replied with a voice message: "Okay!"
Gu Yu waited for about ten minutes before Chen Shengxu arrived.
Chen Shengxu handed her a hot milk tea, saying, "Warm your hands."
He then handed her another milk tea bag, saying, "When I bought it, I was thinking of your roommate, so let's share it together."
“Okay,” Gu Yu took a sip of the warm milk tea, feeling much better. “You didn’t come here just to bring me milk tea, did you?”
“Hmm, more than that,” he said, taking out the anklets. “When I went there, all I had were anklets. Do you like them?”
Gu Yu immediately guessed where he had gone. "You went to climb that mountain?"
"Yes, they say it's very effective."
"It's a lie."
Gu Yu saw the word "bewildered" on Chen Shengxu's face.
She continued, "I have a roommate who is a local, and she said this is just a scam to fool out-of-towners."
"I see..."
"I didn't say I didn't want it, I still like it very much."
Chen Shengxu laughed again.
"What did you ask for?"
"It won't work if you say it out loud."
Gu Yu's inner monologue was a lie from the start.
"Shall I put it on you?"
"good."
Gu Yu extended his right foot.
Chen Shengxu squatted down and patted her calf, saying, "Left foot, left foot brings peace."
"oh."
Chen Shengxu rolled up her trouser legs a couple of times and noticed she wasn't wearing long johns. "Why aren't you wearing long johns?"
"It's not very cold now, but I'll put on some clothes when it gets colder."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
"Yes, don't worry."
As he spoke, Chen Shengxu put on the mask and stood up.
He said, "Give me a hug."
"good."
He smelled the sweet fragrance on Gu Yu and whispered, "I missed you, Gu Yu."
Me too.
Gu Yu had to go back shortly after they started hugging.
Gu Yu: "Go back quickly."
"I'll leave after you go inside."
After returning to the dormitory, they chatted on their phones again.
Childish Guy: [I'm heading back tonight; there's something I need to keep an eye on.]
Future girlfriend: [Can't you rest for one night? You look so tired.]
Childish Kid: [It's okay, I'm used to it.]
Future girlfriend: [Don't get used to it.]
Chen Shengxu could almost picture Gu Yu's expression when he typed those words: a slight frown and a pout.
cute.
He replied: Okay, I'm not used to it.
Future girlfriend: [Then you should take a break, I'm not talking anymore.]
Childish Kid: [Okay.]
However, Chen Shengxu had indeed gotten used to it. During the time they didn't meet, he traveled back and forth between Liangcheng and Bianzhou, and he was already used to it, not to mention running projects afterward.
"Being cared for by Gu Yu made me feel just as good as I did back then."

The weather is getting colder and colder, and he can finally have some free time. There isn't much to do, just some things to wrap up.
Looking at the calendar, Christmas Eve is almost here.
He wanted to spend his life with Gu Yu.
After thinking about it for a few days, I brought it up with Ms. Jiang and Mr. Chen.
Old Chen: "Go ahead, have some fun."
Ms. Jiang remained silent, indicating her agreement.
He booked the ticket for the day before Christmas Eve.
This time I was smarter; I brought a suitcase filled with several sets of clothes.
He had told Gu Yu in advance that he was coming to Nancheng, and they had arranged to have dinner together.
Gu Yu said, "Take Yu Cihuan with you."
"good."
*
Christmas Eve.
Chen Shengxu and Gu Yu arranged to meet at a restaurant.
When he arrived, he saw that Yu Cihuan had also arrived.
They went in, ordered some juice and dessert, and then sat down face to face to chat.
It was probably just Yu Cihuan's one-sided rant.
Not long after, Gu Yu pushed open the door and came in. Chen Shengxu immediately got up to greet him.
Yu Cihuan clicked his tongue twice.
Gu Yu was wearing the white scarf that Chen Shengxu had given him.
Chen Shengxu asked, "Is it comfortable? Will it prick you?"
"No, it's incredibly soft! It's so comfortable, I love it."
"That's fine then."
"Look at me! There's still one person here."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "I see him, handsome Yu."
Yu Cihuan pushed the menu towards her, "Take a look and see what you want to eat? He and I ordered juice and dessert."
Gu Yu selected two dishes and handed the menu to Yu Cihuan. Yu Cihuan also picked two dishes and then called the waiter, completely ignoring what Chen Shengxu wanted to eat.
Anyway, he likes to eat whatever Gu Yu likes to eat.
They chatted while eating.
Yu Cihuan suddenly brought up Tang Yu'er.
"Tang Yu'er is doing well."
Chen Shengxu was taken aback. "How did you know?"
“When I went to reply in the class group last time, I saw her profile picture flash,” Yu Cihuan said with a smile. “She’s definitely doing well now.”
Aren't you going to go find her?
“It’s been too long, she probably doesn’t even remember me anymore. That’s fine, she can live a good life, and so can I,” he paused, “and I’ve let go of it all.”
Chen Shengxu almost rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Bullshit! If you put me down, I'll eat shit upside down."
After dinner, Gu Yu suggested going to a karaoke bar.
So the three of them went to a nearby karaoke bar.
After entering, I selected some songs I liked. I didn't care whether they were sung well or not, since the original singers were there to back them up, so I wasn't worried.
I sang for a while, then got tired.
Yu Cihuan picked up the dice. "Want to play Truth or Dare?"
Gu Yu sat up: "Come on! The one with the lowest score gets a dare."
Chen Shengxu: "Okay."
The first one was Chen Shengxu.
Yu Cihuan found him a particularly seductive dance online, and Chen Shengxu gritted his teeth and danced it, getting goosebumps all over his body.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Gu Yu laughed so hard he collapsed onto the sofa.
After playing for another ten or so rounds, Gu Yu lost one round and did a cute hand gesture dance. Yu Cihuan lost two rounds and danced a charming dance and a sweet dance. Chen Shengxu lost the rest of the rounds.
He can now learn the dances that Gu Yu and Yu Cihuan found for him without changing his expression, and he can even have them record videos of him doing so.
*
After they finished playing, Gu Yu was the first to run out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw snowflakes falling.
She stepped outside, stood with her arms outstretched, and turned to look at Chen Shengxu.
"Chen Shengxu, it's snowing."
