Monday morning, the snowflakes stopped falling. After a night of accumulation, a thin layer of snow covered eaves, branches, car roofs and window sills...A gentle breeze swept past, everything froze leaving only the lonely sound of the wind 。The sudden ticking sound broke the silence of the early morning, faint rays of sunlight streaming into the room. 。Qin Xingyi rubbed his weary eyes, slowly opening them halfway. He shielded his eyes from the direct sunlight with his hand. The sunlight wasn't particularly strong, but due to the reflection of the snow, it seemed a bit rampant, as if trying to wake up the sleepy child. 。Qin Xingyi stretched a comfortable lazy stretch on the bed, her right hand resting on her forehead, "How did I forget to draw the curtains last night?" 。Looking at the watch on my left wrist, the hands pointed to 6:25. I was a little surprised. It felt like forever since I had woken up naturally past six o'clock. 。I quickly sat up straight. Outside the window, it was a dazzling white with hints of green. After looking at it for so long, it was starting to hurt my eyes. 。Looking down from above, I saw the water pipes in the courtyard. Because of the frequent flow of water, the snow around the pipes had completely melted, and the dripping water from the eaves fell in an orderly manner. 。Looking at the scenery before me, I got out of bed and put on my slippers, ready to go wash up. 。“How come the snow that fell yesterday is already melting today, is the shelf life of snow so short?” I opened the door and walked out, closing it behind me…After everything was ready, I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. 。Auntie and Uncle Li were harmoniously eating breakfast at the table. Seeing me come down, Auntie smiled even happier and hurried towards the kitchen while making a gesture for me to come over quickly, "Xingyi, come here quickly, breakfast is ready" 。“Uncle Li also smiled and looked at me, “Haha, breakfast was really delicious today. Although it's the same as always, your aunt's cooking skills are truly unmatched.” 。"Speaking, his eyes crinkled into a smile." 。I quickened my pace and hurried to "Yes! Yes! Here I come!"I rushed to take my seat, and Auntie brought over steaming soy milk and sweet flower rolls, smiling and saying, “Today's soy milk is extra warm! It'll keep you feeling warm and sweet all day long.” 。"Thank you, auntie!" "Well then, eat while it's hot, it's pretty cold outside." 。I nodded. 。"By the way, Xing Yi, you're moving into the dorm today, right? Have you packed everything you need? It's getting colder, have you brought enough warm clothes? And is your blanket thick enough? Just…" "Enough, enough, enough, Auntie, don't worry. I'm almost an adult, and besides, I'll be back home next weekend." 。Don't worry. 。"I know, but I've taken care of you for almost seven years, I know your personality. You wouldn't want to bother others and would just bear it yourself...""Alright, stop saying these things. Xing Yi is already a grown-up, right!" Li Shu interrupted the topic and looked at me 。I quickly nodded in agreement. 。

"Alright, he's still just a child..."

……

Li Shu helped me put the rest of my luggage in the car. I sat in the car and said goodbye to my aunt, "Aunt, you won't be lonely, Ningning and Xiao Ai will come here to accompany you soon"

。"Auntie nodded, "Well, Auntie understands. It's too noisy with the two little girls." 。I smiled but said nothing. 。Uncle Li put on his seat belt, looked at me and said, "Look, I'm wearing my seat belt! Satisfied with a smile, he said, “Let’s go!” 。A few minutes' walk, when I got off the bus, I saw Leng Yang and his four friends waiting for me at the school gate. 。Everyone was eagerly scrambling to grab Li Shu's luggage as he carried it off the car. When it was my turn, there was only my backpack left. I quickly snatched it up, or else I would have been the one left standing idle. 。Everyone was very polite, I didn't hear Jiang Ci say "woc" at all, and Li Shu also entrusted them to me with great peace of mind and gratitude. 。As I watched Li Shu leave, I was deeply moved watching the four people walking towards the apartment. I had never felt so cared for by friends before. I felt a lump in my throat and tears welled up, making my eyes red and hot. 。Leng Yang turned his head to see me, and I hurriedly turned my head away and closed my mouth slightly, blowing air towards my eyes, trying to alleviate the redness around them with cold air. 。I saw him walking towards me. He stopped beside me and I hurriedly turned my head. Unexpectedly, he lowered his head to look at me. As I turned, my eyes and forehead slammed hard into his chin. 。His jawline was sharp and defined, the pain made me cry out involuntarily, "Ah!" The most embarrassing thing was my flushed eyes, tears streaming down uncontrollably. 。IOS: "It's okay, tears of emotion can be held back! Now look at this, they're all coming out. Woo woo woo, ouch... it hurts..."Hearing me say that, everyone stopped and came over, especially Leng Yang. He dropped his suitcase and cupped my face, looking around, "What's wrong? Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"I blinked my eyes, tears falling large and fast, unable to stop them... 。“Why are you crying again? Are you in pain? I'm sorry, I didn't expect this…” Leng Yang hurriedly wiped away the tears on my face. His face appeared, familiar yet strange, a look of panic. It was like the face of the little boy who anxiously searched for me when I disappeared to avoid going back home with my parents. I paused, os: “That’s right!” “What’s wrong? What happened?” Jiang Ci and the others ran over, their eyes widening at the scene before them, “What's wrong with my brother…”I quickly broke free, wiping away the tears with my right hand, "It's nothing, just sand in my eyes…" 。Meanwhile, Leng Yang and I spoke at the same time, and he said, "The Star-Moving Eye seemed to bump into my chin, it seems pretty serious." 。Everyone was looking at me, and my face flushed even redder, making my eyes look even more swollen. When Jiang Ci spoke and reached out to check on me, I hurriedly refused. 。I frantically fanned myself, trying to cool the heat at the corners of my eyes. 。。Seeing that everyone didn't believe me, I had no choice but to walk forward and change the subject, "Isn't class already in session? How come you guys are still here to help me? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the homeroom teacher?"They caught up, Jiang Ci said, “What are we afraid of, Jing Ge is alright, when we went to ask for a leave, we just happened to meet him looking for us to help you, isn’t that right, it's like we have a telepathic connection!” "Oh! Thank you guys..." 。"What are you thanking me for, we're brothers, living in the same dorm room now. Aren't we family?" 。Hearing the words "brother" and "family," I felt a warm current flowing into my chest, so warm that I was stunned. 。Jiang Ci gave my right arm a nudge and asked, "Is it true?"I nodded and smiled at everyone. 。When I got to the apartment, I found that in the six-person dormitory, only two beds were left on the lower bunk. Luckily, I don't like the top bunk, I find it too much trouble. 。Without making our beds, we rushed back to the classroom. The third period had just started ringing. Back in our seats, Shen Lin and I were gasping for breath after our run while the other three acted as if nothing had happened. 。Leng Yang handed me a tissue. "Wipe your sweat quickly, you'll get cold once it cools down." 。I took the tissue, "thank you," and quickly wiped the sweat from my forehead. 。Leng Yang looked at me without speaking, just smiling and nodding his head. 。As expected, halfway through the lesson, I started to get cold. 。I was watching Mr. Lei Peng, our Chinese teacher, deliver a passionate lecture on the article, but I suddenly lost interest. 。Although the classroom was running the air conditioner, because I was sitting in the last row, I could barely feel the warmth it provided. 。Just now, when Shen Lin and I went to the bathroom to wash our faces, we rushed too much and knocked over half a basin of water on the table. The two of us got our pants wet, but because they were urging us outside too much and the pants were too thick, we didn't realize it at the time. Besides, because we had just moved luggage and run, the sweat hadn't evaporated. The clothes were soaked with sweat, and the clothes were too thick to dry. In early winter, the temperature drops the fastest, and the air is filled with cold. 。I sat on the bench uneasily, always feeling like my pants were wet, cold and extremely uncomfortable. 。I glanced at Leng Yang, his handsome profile with eyes fixed on the teacher at the podium. But the next second, he seemed to feel me staring at him, so he turned his head and met my gaze. 。I reacted instantly, swiftly turning my head despite the blush that was impossible to conceal. I pretended nothing had happened, but I kept glancing at him until he looked away. 。I suddenly remembered what was happening and started to worry about Shen Lin, because at that time he was standing in front of me. I was looking ahead, and then suddenly, the slightly trembling Shen Lin caught my and Yu Le's full attention. 。I reached out and touched Shen Lin's arm. He turned his head to look at me, his big eyes full of innocent naiveté. 。He was just about to speak when the bell rang, signaling the end of class. 。Lei Peng straightened his book and said, "Okay, class is over for today." 。Everyone carried their books and walked out together towards the next classroom. 。The 30-minute break began. 。As usual, we should walk outside to the playground and leisurely wait for the next class. 。But now, I feel a little tired. I'm sitting on the bench and don't want to move. Shen Lin is sitting in front of me, trembling slightly. Leng Yang and Yu Le just came back from the restroom. 。"Are you alright?" I asked 。"It's nothing!" "Aren't you cold? I just saw you shivering..." 。"Um..." He stomped his foot and then scratched the back of his head, "Well, it is cold. But, it's fine, isn't it? We have air conditioning! Besides, it should dry up soon!" "Huh?!" Yu Le's expression immediately turned serious. 。Then his tone grew harsh, "I said, why are you shaking?" 。“I'm not that serious, let’s just go to class first,” Shen Lin softened and said weakly. 。"No, it's too cold outside. What if I catch a cold?" 。"Then he looked at me and said, "Xingyi, aren't you the same way? Don't play coy anymore, let's go back and change." 。"Leng Yang immediately turned to ask about my situation, his tone was so forceful that he told me to go back and change my clothes." 。I was worried about Shenlin, so I compromised and dragged him to leave. 。He kept insisting that "it's fine," but his voice grew quieter and quieter. 。I pulled on his right arm with all my might, dragging him up. I was a bit excited: "Come on, or you'll get sick! You're much more serious than me. That bucket of ice water will mostly splash on you, you'll be frozen to death!" 。"What, what water...what do you mean?" Leng Yang and Yu Le looked at me a little angrily, their faces full of disbelief and worry. 。I'm a little agitated, not sure if it's the cold or worrying about Shenlin, or being frightened by those two people... "It was just in the dorm room. I was already flustered, and you guys kept urging me on. I don't even know who put half a basin of water there. The floor was slippery, and I slipped and tripped, pulling the whole basin over. Shenlin tried to push it away to prevent the water from splashing on me, but it was too late. The water spilled all over both our pants. You guys kept urging us, we didn't even have time to change clothes, and you made us run in the cold wind. Who could stand that?!" I was obviously angry, and I pulled Shenlin out, leaving a sentence behind: "Remember to take sick leave" 。Jiang Ci heard the noise and hurried over, grabbing my hand. "What's wrong, brother?" 。I shook my hand free, “It’s nothing” 。Jian Ci walked up to Yu Le and asked... 。Yu Le's face still hadn't improved. "Go ask Jing Ge for leave. The five of us go back to the dorm, and you hurry back to change your clothes." 。"Why? How come you're asking for leave again! What reason?" 。Yu Le caught up with Leng Yang who was following our steps, leaving Jiang Ci alone there looking puzzled. 。In the cold wind, my wet pants felt so heavy and piercing. I looked at Shen Lin, and I was worried. I tried to pick him up, but I realized that my body was also too soft. 。We walked slowly through the snow in the schoolyard, but we were running pretty fast when we just left the teaching building a moment ago. Our steps felt heavy because of our mood. 。Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed me. I wanted to resist, but he hugged me tightly from behind. Shen Lin was also snatched away roughly. 。I turned my head up, Leng Yang's cold face came into view. Both I and Shen Lin turned around at the same time. Leng Yang and Yu Le simultaneously touched our pants with their hands. The icy touch made both of their expressions turn grim. I arrogantly stepped back and said: "What are you doing! I'm not cold" 。A trace of shock appeared on Leng Yang's face, but he still looked at me anxiously without hugging me for fear that I would struggle again. 。On the other hand, Shen Lin was soft and blushing from her neck to her cheeks to her ears. Seeing that it was Yu Le, she softened and squatted down, leaning right into Yu Le's arms. 。Shinlin reached out and hugged Yuele's arm tightly, like clutching onto his mother's arm, sobbing uncontrollably in a low voice, "Yuele~ I'm so cold but~ why am I also feeling so hot, I just want to sleep, I was wrong, I should have listened... sniffle sniffle!""No, no! It's my fault, I shouldn't have pressured you, let's go home, come on, be good, I'll carry you!" Yuele panicked with a flustered face, his words jumbled, princess-carrying Shinlin towards the boys' dormitory. 。Hearing Shen Lin's cries, I and Leng Yang hurriedly chased after him. 。I ignored Leng Yang, focusing only on catching up to Yu Le, completely unaware that my feet had already turned numb with the cold. 。I wanted to stop and let my feet warm up, but at that moment, Leng Yang's left hand wrapped around my left shoulder, and the next second his right hand grabbed my legs and suddenly picked me up. 。Hasty steps walked towards the bedroom, arriving soon. 。I changed my clothes quickly, while Shen Lin had a bit of difficulty. He asked me to help him change, so I pulled his burning body and helped him get dressed. 。Holding him back to bed, I said, "No way, you definitely have a fever." 。Just lying down won't do. 。"Yu Le suddenly realized something and her face turned grim: 'Shen Lin was wearing too little yesterday, and he followed us in the cold wind for a long time last night. He didn't feel well this morning! How could I be so careless! I remember I was supposed to buy medicine for him!' Yu Le's bitter voice was all self-reproach." 。Yu Le looked at Shen Lin, whose cheeks were flushed red with self-blame, and said, "How could that be? I carried him down, and now I'm going to find the school nurse..." 。“Soon Yu Le ran down the stairs with him in her arms, and we followed closely behind. As soon as we stepped out, we saw Jiang Ci. He looked at Shen Lin in Yu Le’s arms, puzzled. “What happened? How did this happen?” 。I looked at him, “Let’s explain later, go to the infirmary first.” 。Shilin struggled in his arms with a stubborn little milky voice, "No, I don't want to go to the hospital, I don't want to take medicine, I just want to sleep." 。Everyone ignored what he was saying and just comforted him. 。"It's fine, we'll be there soon." 。"It's okay, it'll be fine soon." 。It's okay, we don't get shots. 。The school doctor measured Lin's temperature, 39 degrees Celsius, "You have a fever!" She said, sticking a cooling patch on Shen Lin and handing him some medicine. 。In a daze, Shen Lin insisted on not taking medicine. So Yu Le coaxed and tricked him for a long time before he managed to swallow it. 。Outside, Leng Yang made me wait and then left alone. I was a little angry, os: "Really, hasn't forgiven me yet? Leaving me here all alone..." 。"Just as I was about to turn around and head to class, “Xing Yi, wait,” 。"Turning around, Leng Yang brought a cup of hot water and a few packs of medicine to my face. “You’ve caught a chill too, you need to take some medicine. This is cold medicine, and these are fever reducers. Take a little bit just in case.” 。I didn't refuse, I picked it up and ate it. 。I just swallowed the pill. 。"Sorry, I shouldn't have rushed you and shouldn't have gotten angry." 。His eyes were fixed on me, filled with sincerity and apology. 。I smiled and said, "I was wrong too, let's forgive each other!" After the afternoon class ended, we went to the infirmary. When we got there, Shen Lin had already woken up. As soon as he sat up, he said, "Oh my God, my mouth is so bitter, I want candy" 。Before he could finish speaking, a lollipop appeared before his eyes. Shen Lin laughed so brightly that the sound chased away all the sadness of everyone present today. Everyone smiled at each other. 。"Thank you, Yu Le gege" 。You're welcome <<<

。Yu Le's ears felt warm and tingly at the sound of her brother calling her that. She softly whispered back, "Mmm." 。The room was filled with laughter. When the school doctor, Zhang Yi, passed by, he was infected by the laughter of these young boys. He walked in and watched them, deciding to capture this harmonious scene. 。"Students, may I take a picture of you all?" "Sure!" everyone responded in unison. 。Everyone gathered around Shen Lin, each face youthful and handsome. Some were a little aloof and serious, while others radiated youthful joy. At this moment, Zhang Yi felt something was missing. 。

shouted, “Give me a Y!”
