"Is it nice?" Edward asked in disbelief.
"If it looks good, I'll give it to you." Edward had nowhere to deal with it.
"It's true." Xiao Wen asked in disbelief.
"Of course." Edward replied firmly.
"Thank you." Qin Xiaowen was as happy as a child. Edward shook his head helplessly.
"How are you doing at No. 3 High School? You don't look very happy.”Qin Wen asked curiously when she saw the dejected Edward.
"It's still the same." Edward was in a really bad mood right now. He didn't even seem to have the strength to say a word.
Just like that, the two of them chatted casually. Of course, they talked about the past in junior high school. The short road was unknowingly completed in the midst of their conversation.
"Alright, I'm home." Edward said slowly as he looked at the two red couplets at the entrance of the neighborhood.
"Then you can go back." Qin Wen's voice was still as gentle as the spring breeze, teasing Edward's faint sadness.
"Slow down, I'm going back." Edward said as he turned around and left Qin Wen to enter the neighborhood alone.
"Thank you for your Christmas present. I like it very much.”Edward, who had long since left, suddenly heard Qin Wen's shout.
Hehe…
Edward turned around and saw Qin Wen skipping away like a child. He could not help but sigh in his heart. She was already so old, yet she was still like a child.
He pushed open the door and saw that the house was still as simple as before. However, Edward felt a little uncomfortable without his grandparents.
He turned on the lights, but the dim yellow light still filled the small house. The surroundings were as quiet as death, and the ticking clock was the only thing that could make a sound.
Edward, who was already unhappy, felt as if he had been abandoned by the world. He didn't want to study, nor did he have an appetite. He just wanted to sit quietly on the small bed and not move until the end of time.
Looking at the carefully wrapped apple and thinking of Damoni, who was so close to him, Edward felt even more sad. Taking out the MP3 player, Andy's deep and magnetic voice lingered in Edward's ears again. The song was sorrowful and depressing. This healing medicine did not work at all now. Instead, it made Edward even sadder.
Grief and indignation…
Edward suddenly had the urge to sing a song. He got out of bed and took out the long-lost wooden guitar. Because he hadn't played for too long, it was covered in a layer of dust. Edward had become obsessed with the guitar in his first year of middle school. He had already made some progress after learning for a while, but his parents had stopped him from playing because of his studies. Now, he was showing off a feeling of vicissitudes.
Tune the strings and test the sound…
Although it had been a while since he had played it, he could still play the familiar melody of " Destiny " because his teacher had taught them to play Destiny.
When the piano started playing, Edward kept up with the rhythm. His low and trembling voice sounded like Andy Liu.
Who cares about how bitter my tomorrow is, who cares about where my tomorrow is, how rugged and bumpy this road is, you and I have no way back…
After the song ended, Edward felt a little relieved. He silently comforted himself that perhaps everything would depend on fate. Thinking of this, he put on his coat and opened the door to go out…
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The lights were shining, the cold wind was raging, and the snow was falling. Cars were coming and going, and pedestrians were rushing. Christmas Eve in this small county still seemed to be as dull as ever, without any ups and downs. Seeing all this, Edward felt as if he had returned to the sadness of the past. The only way to get rid of it was to walk aimlessly for a while.
"You haven't gone home yet?" The person in front of him made Edward's heart speed up. He had already taken off his loose school uniform and replaced it with a snow-white down jacket, slim-fit jeans, and snow boots embroidered with cartoon patterns. Pure and flawless, she stood in front of him like a fairy. Of course, the person in front of him was Damon, whom Edward had been dreaming of.
"Yes. There was nothing to do, so he came out for a stroll.”Edward answered nervously and excitedly when he saw Damoni.
"What are you doing?" Edward couldn't suppress the nervousness in his heart and deliberately found a topic to ask.
"I took something." Dai Mengni raised the Christmas apple in her hand and said excitedly.
"Oh." Edward saw such a beautiful apple, even more beautiful than the one he had prepared for her, and knew that the person who had given her the fruit must have put in a lot of effort. A sour feeling welled up in Edward's heart. He quickly searched his brain for the person who had given him the information.
"Who gave it to you? It's quite nice." In order to find the answer, Edward mustered his courage and asked.
"A classmate with whom I have a good relationship." Dai Mengni replied calmly. Her voice was still emotionless.
Edward still felt uncomfortable. He had wanted to ask who had given it to him, but because of his pride, he did not say it. Just like that, the two of them fell into an awkward situation. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go home first.”Dai Mengni was the first to break the silence.
"Then…then you can go back first." Although Edward was reluctant, he still said it. It wasn't that he didn't want to, nor was it that he didn't dare to, but he just couldn't say the words," Can you accompany me for a while?"
Looking at the background of Damoni's departure, Edward was extremely unwilling and regretful, but he really couldn't say those words. It wasn't that he was too weak, nor was it that he didn't want to keep her. But he just couldn't say it. This could be youth, this could be ignorance. This could be the most primitive, most innocent, most shy, most afraid, and most desired love. Although there were thousands of thoughts, they were always shy to express them.
Edward continued to regret his loss here. He lowered his head and walked forward. The streets were so spacious, the pedestrians were so sparse, the pine trees by the roadside were so tall, and the lights were so bleak. Edward was even sadder.
"Edward, what are you doing? It's so late.”A tall boy entered Edward's eyes. He had a thin figure and a face that was blue from the cold, but it didn't affect the boy's handsomeness at all.
"Gao Fengliang, you haven't gone home yet.”Edward was a little curious when he saw Gao Fengliang. He was a famous good student. He should be studying at this time. Why was he here?
"No, I'm just doing something." The handsome Gao Fengliang replied.
"Are you done?" Edward asked.
"It's done." Gao Fengliang seemed a little excited.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Fengliang was also very curious when he saw the listless Edward.
"Nothing much. I was just feeling annoyed and came out for a walk.”Edward did not hide his sadness at all.
"Then I'll walk with you for a while. I have nothing to do anyway.”Gao Fengliang said generously.
"Alright, I was just worrying about not having a companion. God gave you to accompany me, didn't he?”Edward teased Gao Fengliang.
"Do I look like an angel to you?" Gao Fengliang's humorous answer brought the two of them closer.
"I really want to. I just lack a pair of wings.”Edward's answer was not lacking in humor.
The two of them chatted about the past and the present. Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was because Edward was sad. Now, they felt that they were talking about the same thing, and they regretted not meeting each other earlier.
"Do you know how to drink?" The two of them had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the claypot party. Edward could not help but think of drinking two glasses.
"Are you still a man if you don't know how to drink?”Gao Fengliang answered Edward's question.
"Then why don't we go and drink?”Edward suggested.
"That's what I was thinking." Gao Fengliang replied indifferently.
After reaching a consensus, the two of them arrived at the claypot gathering one after another.
"Xiao Sen is here." Xiao Sen, who often came to eat, and Liang Liang, who did not know what special relationship he had with the lady boss, had made Edward and the lady boss familiar.
"Coming, Auntie." Xiao Sen replied and sat down.
"I didn't come with you.”The Lady Boss always seemed to care about Leng Liang.
"He went home first." Edward said honestly.
"What do you want to eat?" The lady boss began to ask the necessary and unnecessary questions again.
"Third." Edward answered reflexively.
"Alright, I'll do it for you two. Take whatever you want to drink." The lady boss said and went into the kitchen.
"Got it, Auntie." Edward replied and went to get the beer.
A moment…
"Is beer okay?" Edward was busy for a while before he thought of Gao Fengliang.
"Sure, anything is fine." Gao Fengliang didn't seem to be picky about wine.
"You know that lady boss?" Gao Fengliang couldn't help but ask when he saw how familiar Edward was.
"We don't just know each other. This is our base, Little Shiliang.”Edward was slightly confident when he said this.
"Looks like you guys come here often." Gao Fengliang seemed to sigh.
"I come here often." Edward replied.
Edward poured the wine and raised his glass in a series of actions that he was familiar with.
"Let's have a drink for Christmas Eve.”Edward first toasted Gao Fengliang.
"Alright, cheers." As he spoke, Gao Fengliang downed the entire cup.
Edward was quite shocked. He didn't look so elegant, but he was quite bold and unconstrained. Edward liked this kind of person very much. He never liked people who were shy.
"Good, straightforward." Edward was delighted and downed a cup in one gulp.
"The dishes haven't been served yet, and you're already drinking. If you don't eat the dishes, then drink. It's not good for your stomach.”The lady boss carefully placed the dishes on the table.
"Got it, Auntie." Edward chuckled to hide his awkwardness. At the same time, he was curious about the relationship between the lady boss and Leng Liang.
"Is this your classmate?" She looked at Gao Fengliang and asked.
"Yes, Auntie." Edward replied.
"He's really handsome." The lady boss couldn't help but praise him when she saw his handsome face.
"Not only is he handsome, but he's also good at studying." Edward was the icing on the cake.
"Of course not. He's not as good as Liang Ziwen.”Gao Fengliang hurriedly explained.
"I think you're much stronger than him." Although the lady boss said so, Edward could see that she was very happy.
"Alright, you two eat. If it's not enough, call me.”With that, he left.
"Alright, Auntie. Go and get busy." Edward said politely.
