School started early this year, with schools starting one after another before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Shu Yuan did not agree with Jiang Suichu living on campus anymore, so Jiang Suichu had no choice but to apply for day school and go to and from school with Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo every day. The Lantern Festival happened to be on Saturday. Pei Tian and Pei Shuo were both at the Lu family during the day, and they all celebrated the Lantern Festival together.
In the evening, Tang Zi and Tang Mi invited everyone in the group to go to the riverside to watch the fireworks. Before going out, Jiang Suichu went to the kitchen to cook glutinous rice balls and wanted to take them to Jiang Minghao to eat.
Aunt Wu stood aside, a little worried: "Sui Sui, why don't I cook it?"
Jiang Suchu smiled: "It's okay, Aunt Wu, I can do it myself."
Every New Year, she would cook a glutinous rice dumpling for Jiang Minghao. This year, because her grandmother passed away on the Spring Festival, she did not send any glutinous rice balls to Jiang Minghao.
She wanted to make it up to him today during the Lantern Festival.
The water in the pot had begun to boil. Jiang Suichu opened the lid and gently put the glutinous rice balls in one by one. Aunt Wu made the glutinous rice balls freshly with several kinds of fillings, and she put two of each filling.
When the glutinous rice balls floated, she took a small bowl of cold water and poured it into the pot. When the water boiled again, the glutinous rice balls were almost ready.
This is what her grandma taught her.
Aunt Wu watched from the side. The little girl was quiet, unhurried and had a rare composure for her age.
Lu Zhinian went upstairs to change his clothes and came down. Jiang Suichu happened to be filling the crisper with glutinous rice balls.
He walked over and took the spoon in her hand, "I'll do it."
When Jiang Sui saw him for the first time, he didn't insist and let him go with the spoon. He turned around to find a bag to put in the lunch box later.
Pei Shuowai was lying on the sofa in the living room playing games. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the two people's backs in the kitchen, and felt an indescribable feeling of irony in his heart.
Due to the disagreement between his parents since childhood, he has always had a dispensable attitude towards relationships. But Lu Zhinian is different from him. Lu Zhinian is a person who takes relationships very seriously.
He looked at it for a while, then curved his lips and smiled: It seemed like this was good.
When the three of them arrived at the riverside, many people had gathered on the riverside to watch the fireworks.
Pei Shuo looked at his phone, "Tang Zi said they are over at the Music Square, let's go find them."
Lu Zhinian nodded, "Yeah."
There were a lot of people. Lu Zhinian protected Jiang Suichu in front of him, holding her shoulder and walking towards the square.
Jiang Suchu held the thermos box in his arms, looked up and asked him, "Is Jiang Minghao here?"
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes and looked at her: "He just mentioned it in the group."
There are more people on the square side, and there are huge crowds of people crowding the riverside. There is also music playing in the square, which is very lively. Tang Mi and the others were waiting for them on the embankment below the square. The three of them squeezed through the crowd and went down from the pier.
Tang Mi saw the three of them from a distance. She stood up and waved to them, "Suisui, this way!"
It was very dark by the river. Jiang Suichu raised his head when he heard Tang Mi's voice while walking with his head down.
She also waved her hand and called her: "Tangtang."
Tang Mi was about to run over to pick her up, but Jiang Minghao pulled her back and said, "Slow down."
"Oh~" Tang Mi smiled and walked over slowly, but when she was almost there, she couldn't help but run up and hugged Jiang Suchu.
Jiang Suchu was knocked to the ground and fell backwards, almost losing her balance. Fortunately, Lu Zhinian helped her.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Tang Mi. She immediately let go of Jiang Suchu's waist and held her arm, "Sorry, sorry, I'm so excited."
Pei Shuo walked behind, "Take it easy, the ladder is so steep, don't knock Suisui down."
Tang Mi glared at him, "I know, I know."
Jiang Minghao kept looking at her and shook his head helplessly. When he turned back, he caught Tang Zi's inquiring eyes.
In fact, from the meeting between the two just now, he could tell that Tang Zi had something to say to him.
Jiang Minghao looked at Tang Zi, "Do you have something to say?"
Tang Zi thought of Tang Mi's various behaviors in the past six months and the incident of quietly running to Ji Yunshan alone some time ago. He could basically conclude that Tang Mi and Jiang Minghao were together.
He did not exclude Tang Mi from having a boyfriend, nor did he mean to look down on Jiang Minghao. However, the gap between the two was really too big, and he didn't think it was right for them to be together.
He thought for a moment and then spoke: "Brother Hao, I'm not saying I have any objections to you. It's just that from my brother's point of view, I think you and Tang Mi are not suitable for each other."
Jiang Minghao's eyes were dull for a moment. He could not deny Tang Zi's words.
Every minute and every second he spent with Tang Mi, he tried his best to control himself not to think about this problem, but the gap was a gap, and it would never disappear between the two.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he spoke humbly, "I will try my best to be worthy of her."
It was dark by the river, and Tang Zi couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear the humility in his words.
As a friend, Tang Zi admired Jiang Minghao. But Tang Mi was his only sister, and she had been the apple of everyone's eye in the family since she was a child. He couldn't bear to see her give up her future for a man.
He glanced at Tang Mi who was chatting and laughing with Jiang Suchu. He was willing to be a bad person.
Tang Zi: "Brother Hao, Tang Mi probably didn't tell you that we are going to study in the UK in the second half of this year."
Jiang Minghao was stunned for a moment and said calmly: "No."
Tang Zi smiled lightly: "Of course she won't tell you, because she decided not to go."
Jiang Minghao's thick eyebrows tightened, "Didn't she say she wanted to take the exam for Beicheng Media?"
"Beicheng Media?" Tang Zi looked at him and twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "She has been very talented in dancing since she was a child. She has determined to become a dancer since she was a child. R'S University in the UK has been her long-term goal. , she participated in various competitions just to get into this school. Now that she has passed the preliminary examination of the school, she actually said she doesn’t want to go. I think she is crazy!”
During this time, her parents were very upset because Tang Mi was not going to study abroad. Tang Mi had a quarrel with them two days ago.
Tang Zi knew that Tang Mi didn't want to study abroad because she wanted to be admitted to Beicheng Media. She just didn't want to be separated from Jiang Minghao.
She was his sister, and he didn't want to watch her give up her ideals. Moreover, the two are now in a passionate relationship, and all the decisions they make are impulsive.
After this impulse has passed, regretting it will only be regretful.
Jiang Minghao knew very well that Tang Zi would never allow Tang Mi to give up her future for him. Tang Mi hiding this matter from him would only plant a landmine between the two of them.
Therefore, Tang Zi told Jiang Minghao also to save the relationship between the two.
Jiang Minghao rested his elbows on his knees, hunched over and stared at the calm river surface.
"Jiang Minghao, where will you take the exam next?"
"Let's go to Beicheng."
This was what Tang Mi asked him before the two were together. He was busy at the time, so he casually mentioned a place. He didn't have so many choices in a vocational school, but he just remembered this place after hearing Jiang Suichu say that he would take the exam to a school in Beicheng.
Unexpectedly...she actually took it seriously.
He looked at the river and felt a little sore in his throat.
Seeing that Tang Mi and the others were coming, he slowly said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Hearing Jiang Minghao say this, Tang Zi felt relieved.
"Here we come." Tang Zi greeted several people.
"Yeah." Lu Zhinian nodded lightly and pulled Jiang Suchu to sit on the ladder higher up.
Pei Shuo sat down between Tang Zi and Jiang Minghao and hooked their shoulders: "Should we go to the Internet cafe to have fun later?"
Tang Zi glanced at Jiang Minghao quickly, and after hearing him say something casual, he said, "I can do it."
Tang Mi sat next to Jiang Minghao and quietly pulled off the hem of his clothes.
Jiang Minghao took a deep breath, hiding the emotions in his eyes before turning to look at her, "What's wrong?"
Tang Mi smiled and pointed behind her, "Sui Sui said I would bring you glutinous rice balls."
Jiang Minghao looked back and saw Lu Zhinian and Jiang Suichu sitting on the stone stairs above. Jiang Suchu was holding an insulated lunch box in his arms.
Seeing him looking over, Jiang Suchu smiled and patted the lunch box in his arms: "Jiang Minghao, do you want to eat glutinous rice balls?"
Jiang Minghao looked at her, twitching the corners of his mouth bitterly, then stood up and walked up the steps to sit next to her, "One with black sesame filling?"
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment. Just now she seemed to see a flash of pain in Jiang Minghao's eyes.
She handed him the lunch box and asked him in a low voice, "Jiang Minghao, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Jiang Minghao took the lunch box and opened it, and the sweetness of the glutinous rice balls hit his face with the heat. He took a spoon and dug out a glutinous rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet fruity taste exploded in his mouth.
He twitched the corners of his mouth lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Suichu, this year it's finally not black sesame stuffing."
Jiang Suchu looked at him with the same casual expression as usual, and thought that maybe he had seen it wrong.
She smiled and said, "There are several kinds of fillings. You might be surprised if you try them."
surprise?
Jiang Minghao lowered his eyes and looked at the glutinous rice balls in the lunch box, and almost twitched the corners of his mouth.
How can he have any surprises.
Jiang Minghao rested his elbows on his thighs and ate all the glutinous rice balls in one bite. After eating, he closed the lunch box and returned it to Jiang Suichu, rubbed her head and said, "This year's glutinous rice balls are delicious."
"Next year I'll cook minced meat for you. I heard it's quite delicious." Jiang Suchu said with a smile. When he turned around to find the bag, Lu Zhinian reached out and took the lunch box in her hand, put it into the bag and put it at his feet. side.
Jiang Minghao saw Lu Zhinian's movements and curled his lips, "Okay."
Next year, I hope I can still eat it.
There were crowds of people on the riverside. Lu Zhinian raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Is the fireworks show about to start?"
Pei Shuo turned around and said, "It seems to start at ten o'clock. What time is it now?"
Lu Zhinian: "Nine fifty-nine."
Tang Mi excitedly stepped up the steps, squeezed in between Jiang Minghao and Jiang Suichu, took Jiang Suichu's arm, "It's about to start, it's about to start."
Pei Shuo and Tang Zi also walked up a step. As soon as they sat down, there were several loud bangs, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed above their heads.
The crowd along the riverside kept erupting in loud cheers, and some people were making wishes loudly.
Pei Shuo heard this and imitated those who played the tambourine like a trumpet, shouting to the sky: "I hope everyone can get into their ideal university!"
After calling out, he looked at a few people and said, "You guys come too."
Lu Zhinian felt a little silly, but Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
Tang Mi came first. She glanced at the people beside her from the corner of her eye and shouted at the fireworks: "I hope the people around me can always be here!"
Tang Zi glanced at her and turned away without saying anything.
Jiang Minghao looked at her side face, his eyes filled with ambiguity that he couldn't get rid of.
Tang Mi shook Jiang Suichu's arm: "Suisui, it's your turn."
Another cluster of very beautiful fireworks exploded in the air. Jiang Suchu looked at the sky and shouted with all his strength: "I hope everyone will be well!"
Whether it's academics or relationships, you have to do well.
Lu Zhinian kept looking at her, her eyes reflecting the splendor of fireworks. He slowly raised the corners of his lips, and grasped her hand with his hanging hand and squeezed it tightly.
Jiang Suchu felt it. She looked at the fireworks with a slight smile on her lips and slowly closed her fingers, holding his hand back.
Pei Shuo pushed Tang Zi with his shoulder: "Why are you standing there in a daze? It's your turn."
"Oh." Tang Zi came back to his senses and shouted casually, "I hope... our friendship will last forever."
Pei Shuo made a ruthless judgment: "I don't care at all, I shouted weakly."
Tang Zi: "......"
Pei Shuo patted Jiang Minghao's shoulder across Tang Mi: "Brother Hao, hurry up. It's your turn."
Jiang Minghao's side eyes met Tang Mi's. She smiled, her eyes shining. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky.
He put a hand to his mouth and shouted to the sky: "I hope the coming year will be better than the old one."
He lowered his hand feebly, and his fingertips touched a touch of warmth. He looked at the river, his Adam's apple slid hard, and he grabbed the hand and squeezed it tightly.
I hope you get better and better, Tang Mi.
Tang Mi quietly took a step closer to him, their shoulders were touching each other, and they also blocked the intertwined hands.
Tang Zi pretended not to see it, looked at the fireworks and exhaled a heavy breath.
Everyone had finished shouting, except Lu Zhinian. Pei Shuo has liked to watch Lu Zhinian lively since he was a child. He specially ran to Lu Zhinian and hooked his shoulder: "A Nian, come on, come on, come on, you are the only one left to shout."
Lu Zhinian glanced at him lightly, feeling speechless.
He thought for a moment and looked sideways at Jiang Suichu. She was also looking at him. The light of the fireworks illuminated her face, and she looked up at him and smiled lightly.
He curled his lips, and his eyebrows were a little softer and more caring.
Jiang Suichu felt his hand being held tighter, and then she heard him shouting to the fireworks: "I hope you will be safe every year!"
Whether it's his birthday wish or New Year's wish, it always is.
peaceful always.
Jiang Suchu looked at his side face. The dimple on his right cheek was very deep. She clearly heard the fireworks rising into the sky again and again, the tiny sounds of the fireworks falling as they dispersed, and the nervous beating of her heart in her chest.
[Are the fireworks in the sky round or flat?
Whether it's round, flat, or oddly shaped. As long as we are together in this moment. 】
