The owner of the shop is a very kind old lady, doing business on the occasion of the Spring Festival, generously gave them a 20% discount and gave them an extra pound of fried chestnuts.

Li Zhiqing was about to pay, You Chuan squeezed his hand, not letting him move: "I'm coming."

After speaking, You Chuan released the ten fingers that the two buckled, naturally took off the glove of the right hand, took out the wallet from the pocket, and took out the corresponding amount and forwarded it to the window.

Li Zhiqing looked at You Chuan's face like a head of the tent, and then tilted his head to look at the hand that was exposed in the cold wind with distinct bones.

You Chuan noticed Li Zhiqing's gaze and looked over. He pinched the tip of his nose through a mask, and put the gloves back without hurriedly: "I am not afraid of the cold."

If you want to take the banknotes out of the wallet, you have to take off your gloves. The old street is lively and the wind is still quite cold. You Chuan can't bear to let him freeze more.

Li Zhiqing chuckled twice clearly, hung his hand on his waist and shook his left eyebrow single-handedly at You Chuan.

You Chuan held the hand and tightened his five fingers. His face was as cold as the cold wind blowing past, but there was a warm smile in his eyes that Li Zhiqing could see.

The corn and chestnuts have been packed neatly and placed in a holding cabinet, and the sweet potatoes will be roasted for a while.

Standing in place, there was nothing to do. Li Zhiqing jumped down the steps and looked around at random. He found that there was a drink shop and elbows You Chuan's back: "You wait here, I'll go ahead and buy some. thing."

You Chuan looked back at him.

Li Zhiqing raised his finger and said, "I'm still 40 minutes away from home. I'll go buy some drinks, and the car can warm my stomach."

"Okay." You Chuan tightened the overlapping hands of the two of them, and answered, but did not let go.

Li Zhiqing understood the other's cautious thinking, grabbing You Chuan's hand and shaking it twice before letting go.

He intended to go there by himself, but before the tow rope was handed out, the black hole hurriedly jumped behind Li Zhiqing's leg and rubbed it from the left to the right, for fear that the little master would let him be alone with You Chuan.

You Chuan glanced sideways at the dog that was sticking to Li Zhiqing, then raised his eyes to look at Li Zhiqing, turned his back angrily, and stared at the oven in the window.

Li Zhiqing gritted his teeth vigorously, suffocating him without a smile. He patted You Chuan on the shoulder and comforted: "I will be back soon."

In the milk tea shop, there was only a very student girl who looked like she was asked by her family to come to see the shop. When Li Zhiqing arrived, she was holding her mobile phone and muttering: "The scenery of east, west, north and south is often... not right. The scenery of southern Xinjiang and the north is always...Jingchangxin, Jingchang..."

Li Zhiqing was amused when she heard her substitutions word by word, and did not urge her, but stood patiently and waited for her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what do you need? Can you wait a moment." The little girl Yu Guang glanced at the guests, did not look up, only apologized, "My male god just made a couplet at the Spring Festival Gala, I The next couplet was right right away. Ah! God, I'm so sad."

When Li Zhiqing was reminded by her, realizing that the other party was 80% of her fans, she responded in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry, just three cups of hot cocoa."

"It's hot, I know." The little girl nodded as she typed, "I'll give you more taro balls."

Li Zhiqing smiled: "Thank you."

The little girl didn't care: "It's okay, happy new year."

Li Zhiqing still laughed: "Happy New Year."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Prepare drinks.

Li Zhiqing watched her rush in, looked around, wrote a few words on the note for guests to leave a message, and then flipped the note to the desk of the cash register, his eyes curled with smile.

The shop next to the milk tea shop was closed. In front of the shop was sitting a middle-aged man spreading out a wooden box. Inside the box was neatly woven hand straps, lit by small light bulbs on the edge, and looked very beautiful.

When Li Zhiqing noticed him, the middle-aged man was trying hard to sell to a young parent who was holding a child: "The knitting method passed down by the ancestors was worn during the Chinese New Year in ancient times. It is most suitable for children to play. According to legend, there are gods. Those who have been sheltered will be able to make good fortune and perish every year."

The hand strap is not expensive, and the middle-aged man's rhetoric also found a breakthrough.

The parents were obviously moved by him, and the father of the child began to pay.

The middle-aged man smiled and took out one of the money and handed it over.

Li Zhiqing took the opportunity to look twice.

The hand strap is red, there are no messy decorations, and because it is woven very carefully, it does not appear cheap because of monotony.

The middle-aged people did not lie, the weaving method of the hand rope was indeed passed down a long time ago, and the older generation of imperial capital people said it can pray for refuge.

Li Zhiqing vaguely remembered that when he was young, his parents who had never been superstitious often bought him these things and wear them.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiqing looked at the hand straps in the wooden box and smiled, a little nostalgic, and a little bitter.

The middle-aged man stuffed the money into his bag and found that a young man with a wealthy background was looking at him. He laughed and opened his mouth and asked, "Would the young man buy a hand strap? ."

Li Zhiqing recovered, smiled and shook his head: "No, I already have one."

"That's not the same." The middle-aged man took one out and showed it to him, and then moved out the lines that he had just said. "This compilation is handed down by the ancestors and is protected by gods. You can also wear it."

Li Zhiqing smiled deeper: "No, thank you."

He not only has a hand strap, but also the dragon scales that You Chuan personally dropped on it. What's more, his true ancestor follows him every day.

Thinking of You Chuan, Li Zhiqing felt a lot easier, and smiled very sincerely.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the middle-aged man put his rope back and sighed, "Okay."

Li Zhiqing said "sorry" to him, looked down at the eyes of the black hole, and vaguely discerned the shadow of an old god from it.

The black hole looked up at him because of unknown, wagging his tail, grinning, his expression was too human, like he was smiling.

During the Spring Festival, Vientiane welcomes the new year. During this period of time, many people cleaned themselves up extraordinarily bright, and the black hole was also carefully dressed up by Lou's servants.

It took a new bath, and its fur was combed. It was very shiny and shiny. It had a small red cloak around its neck, embroidered with auspicious clouds, and rolled a circle of white fleece. It contrasted sharply with the black fur, and it was refreshing. Festive.

Li Zhiqing couldn't help bending over and reaching out to touch the head of the black hole. He was about to say what he was saying. The young girl from the milk tea shop carried the packed hot cocoa and stepped forward and said, "This dog is so handsome!"

Li Zhiqing straightened up, smiled at her, paid the money, and still lowered his voice: "Thank you."

The little girl opened the cash register and subconsciously glanced at Li Zhiqing when she received the money, then she was taken aback: "Huh?!"

Li Zhiqing's entire face was tightly covered, with only one pair of eyes exposed. He was not afraid to look at her and smiled politely.

The little girl hesitated, slowed down her money search, and looked at him for a while: "...you look like..."

Li Zhiqing looked at her smilingly.

"Have anyone told you that your eyes are very similar to Li Zhiqing." The little girl said with emotion.

At first she thought that she saw Li Zhiqing himself, but her male god should be sitting in the studio of the TV station now, how could she go to her store to buy things, and the voice is slightly different.

Li Zhiqing nodded, without denying: "Yes."

"Really look like!" The little girl handed over the change, "You must be handsome with such beautiful eyes."

Li Zhiqing smiled.

The little girl pinned her love for the male god on those eyes, and for a moment she looked at the black hole sitting obediently at Li Zhiqing's feet: "This is Labrador."

Li Zhiqing nodded. Seeing the little girl had something to say, he did not leave in a hurry.

People pass by from time to time outside the store. He doesn't want others to find him here, but he doesn't mind chatting with his little fans.

"My family used to raise one before, but it's old and dead." The little girl mentioned the dog she had raised, her eyes softened, "Oh, raising a dog is really love and hate, we can live. After so many years, they won't work for more than ten years."

Li Zhiqing did not speak, and when he looked at the black hole, he couldn't help but think of the black hole's mother.

That's the dog he raised.

Even if the black hole likes him again, it is not the little dog Li Zhiqing could directly hold in his arms before.

"Fortunately, we still have a pet in our family. The tortoise that my dad bought before is older than me." The little girl said strangely. He was sent away by the uncle tortoise himself."

Li Zhiqing smiled upon hearing this, tightened the tow rope in his hand, and said not to leave with the black hole.

In the past, Li Zhiqing always felt that his life span might be similar to that of his dog. As a result, he luckily lived to be twenty years old and met You Chuan.

His dog is considered to have lived for a long time among its kind, but unfortunately it only accounted for 15 of these 20 years.

Li Zhiqing couldn't help thinking that You Chuan was an old god in ancient times. He lived longer than the sky and would only live longer in the future, and he didn't know how long he could take You Chuan in the end.

Li Zhiqing looked at the tall man standing under the light in the distance, and suddenly there was a complicated feeling in his heart that was inexplicable, sour and a bit astringent.

After taking a few steps, Li Zhiqing stopped suddenly, lowered his eyes and thought, then turned and retreated.

He walked to the middle-aged man next to the milk tea shop and squatted down. Before he could even speak, the middle-aged smiled and said, "Oh, is this guy planning to buy one?"

Li Zhiqing also laughed: "Well, buy one."

He had just witnessed the middle-aged man’s last business not long ago. He paid for it without asking for the price. He carefully picked one to put it in his pocket, and then rushed to Youchuan.

You Chuan took the packing bag and walked a few steps in the direction of Li Zhiqing.

Li Zhiqing's footsteps were very fast, and he did not stop in front of You Chuan, relying on the two men now wearing masks, not afraid of being watched, directly slammed into each other's arms.

You Chuan didn't move at all, and raised his hand to stroke his back twice.

"It's cold." Li Zhiqing buried his face on his chest and hissed.

You Chuan knew that Li Zhiqing was not cold, but he didn't say anything to expose: "Let's go back."

"Yeah." Li Zhiqing finished his muffled voice, and was held by You Chuan and walked to the next intersection. The driver had been waiting in a nearby parking space for a long time.

After getting on the bus, Li Zhiqing handed one of the hot cocoa to the driver, and he and You Chuan divided the remaining two.

He leaned halfway on You Chuan's shoulder the whole time, drinking a hot drink and looking out the window. He was lazy and couldn't see any difference.

Li Zhiqing's mood has returned to normal. Of course, You Chuan will not take the initiative to mention it again, and he will not be happy.

Back at Loujia, the hour hand was almost pointing to eleven.

After drinking a small bowl of cold mutton soup, Li Zhiqing left the black hole in the hall, and he and You Chuan went upstairs to change back to their daily clothes, and removed the makeup on their faces by the way.

You Chuan wanted to clean his face. He didn't need to use makeup remover and cotton. But he liked to stand side by side with Li Zhiqing, even if he was washing his face in front of the sink.

The winter is dry and the indoor heating is sufficient. It is because Li Zhiqing does not pay attention to skin care. Now he is too lazy to work hard, and it is rare to use the moisturizer.

He squeezed out a small tuft, rubbed it in his hand very carelessly, rubbed his palm to his face hastily, and then applied it to You Chuan in the same way again, in only ten seconds. Thing.

"We are not allowed to set off fireworks and firecrackers, but you can still play with small fireworks like fairy sticks." After getting dressed, Li Zhiqing took You Chuan to the first floor. "After twelve o'clock, let's go to the yard. How many to put?"

How could You Chuan not agree to his request: "Okay."

"New Year is a big day. Elders usually prepare New Year gifts for juniors." When he reached the stairs, Li Zhiqing deliberately walked around behind You Chuan, pushing his shoulders, and letting him walk in front. What gift will you give me?"

He deliberately prolonged the end and made a full joke.

You Chuan has always indulged in his jokes. He didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, he answered seriously: "You want it all."

Li Zhiqing smiled, and with a little force in his hand, You Chuan stopped immediately.

He pressed his body on You Chuan's back, but refused to let the other party carry him, and said, "Hands."

Li Zhiqing is not a left-handed, but uses his right hand. You Chuan also handed him his right hand in cooperation.

Li Zhiqing squeezed his fingertips and gently pressed the opponent's palm to the back, revealing a white wrist.

You Chuan let him break and watched quietly.

"Although you are an elder, I also have a gift to honor you." Li Zhiqing breathed out heat in his ear, and at the same time took out a red hand strap, neatly tied it around You Chuan's wrist.

He admired it for a while, and took advantage of the trend to stick to You Chuan's ear and kissed him: "Happy New Year."

After speaking, Li Zhiqing realized that You Chuan's body was suddenly stiff, and subconsciously looked at the other person's expression, only to find that You Chuan's face showed a rare dullness, even a little stupid.

Li Zhiqing was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

You Chuan was summoned by him and turned to look at him.

Li Zhiqing and You Chuan met their gazes and found that a thin light of water seemed to flash through the bottom of each other's eyes, which was very inconspicuous, but only a momentary event.

Li Zhiqing was trying to take a closer look, but You Chuan had turned his head back, not allowing him to look any more.

Li Zhiqing was startled and opened his mouth, unable to speak, so he closed it again.

He was not sure, and couldn't help but doubt.

You Chuan was gotten by a red string..., crying?
