He's doing handicraft again

It was Chinese New Year again, and on New Year’s Eve, Jiang Xin ordered some dumplings to fill his stomach and went to the second floor of the stationery store, planning to use the Spring Festival Gala as the background sound for a manual live broadcast.

He didn't go home this time. During Chinese New Year last year, he directly came out to his family. Jiang's mother was furious and told him to get out immediately and don't show embarrassment again.

Jiang Xin got fired and never went back.

When Xiao Yuan learned that he was not planning to go home, he invited him to his home for the New Year, but Jiang Xin refused, so Xiao Yuan simply stayed with him.

The same person who came out of the closet, Xiao Yuan's treatment is completely different. Since the winter vacation of Jiangjing Junior High School, he has been called home every day, and the seven aunts and eight aunts have taken turns to bomb him. , Tell him to go home quickly, happy to be alone.

Xiao Yuan had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Jiang Xin sat at the desk, listening to the laughter from the Spring Festival Gala sketches on the computer, and watching the fireworks blooming from time to time in the distant sky, feeling a little lonely.

Then he felt something soft at his feet pushing against him.

Jiang Xin looked down and found that it was Yuanyuan, the long-haired cat he picked up from the university town last year.

It seems... I forgot to feed Yuanyuan dinner.

Jiang Xin hugged Yuanyuan, stroked its chin and said sorry in a low voice, then went downstairs and brought up the cat food bowl.

Yuanyuan's cat food bowl, cat mat, and cat climbing frame are all placed on the first floor, because Xiao Yuan hates Yuanyuan disturbing his and Jiang Xin's two-person world.But now that Xiao Yuan is not here, Jiang Xin thought it would be nice to have Yuanyuan by his side.

He poured cat food into the cat food bowl, and thought that today was New Year's Eve, so he put a layer of freeze-dried salmon on top of the cat food, and thought it was an extra meal for Yuanyuan.

Seeing Yuanyuan's whole face buried in the food bowl eating happily, her raised tail dangling back and forth, Jiang Xin couldn't help laughing, and then started today's live broadcast.

I bought a few small pieces of wood before, and Jiang Xin took out a piece of purple sandalwood with a round hole drilled into it. He planned to make a ring out of this piece of wood. He hadn’t thought about the shape before, but now he thought about making the outer ring into cat ears. Shape it.

He drew a line on it with a pencil, saw off the excess wood along the line with a jigsaw, and then rounded the ring rough with a file.

After feeling that the shape was satisfactory enough, he began to polish it. Jiang Xin took out the sandpaper and polished it slowly.Because there is no need to stare carefully at this step, he glanced at the public screen in the live broadcast room while grinding.

The screen is full of people asking who the ring is going to be given to...

Do you have to give it away after making a ring?Can't you hide and enjoy it quietly?

Jiang Xin decided to ignore these questions.

Fortunately, the number of people watching the live broadcast today was much less than usual, and there were not many people asking questions. Jiang Xin was not under great pressure.

Even his exclusive room manager, Xiao Yuanzi, didn't show up. He was probably having a New Year's Eve dinner and chatting with his family members like those friends who didn't watch the live broadcast.

As the number of sandpaper used to grind the ring increases, the surface of the ring becomes smoother and smoother.

Jiang Xin put a ring with almost no scratches on his middle finger, which was just right.

He thought of the hands he had held with Xiao Yuan countless times before, the thickness of his fingers seemed to be about the same as his own, so it should be suitable for him to wear them.

No, it's not for him, whether it suits him or not.

Jiang Xin turned off the live broadcast, and then started tidying up. Every time the woodwork was finished, the table was always a mess.

Because the ring was too small, Jiang Xin put it in a small cardboard box on the bookshelf for fear of throwing it away as trash.

When he was cleaning the table, he accidentally pressed the mouse and closed the browser. The sound of the Spring Festival Gala also disappeared, and the room fell silent instantly.

There was a "creak" sound, which was the sound of the wooden boards of the stairs outside the door being stepped on.

Jiang Xin remembered that Xiao Yuan pressed him on the corner of the stairs and kissed him for a long time before. Since then, a certain wooden board at the corner seemed to be loose, and there would be a "creaking" sound every time he stepped on it.

So, did a thief break in the door?

Just now, because the sound of firecrackers outside was too loud, Jiang Xin closed the window and drew the curtains, and only turned on a desk lamp in the room, so the thief mistakenly thought that no one was there, so he came to steal so boldly?

Jiang Xin turned off the desk lamp and computer screen, then held a broom in his left hand, thinking it was not safe, picked up a pair of scissors in his right hand, walked on tiptoe to the door, and waited quietly for the thief to come in.

Feeling the anxious atmosphere, Yuanyuan, who was sleeping in a ball at the end of the bed, also jumped off the bed and squatted at Jiang Xin's feet, as if cheering him on.

Jiang Xin put his index finger close to his lips, signaling Yuanyuan not to make a sound.Yuanyuan seemed to understand, but she didn't utter a meow.

Relieved, Jiang Xin began to listen carefully to the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The sound of "cracking" was getting closer and closer until it stopped near the door, Jiang Xin's heart clenched as the footsteps disappeared.

He secretly cheered himself up, he must be calm and calm later, and hit the target with one blow.

The door was pushed open, Jiang Xin didn't expect the thief to be so courageous, he turned on the stairs light.

As the room was pitch black, the light outside the door cast the shadow of the thief in.

Jiang Xin looked at the shadow on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"Jiang Xin, why don't you turn on the light?" A familiar voice sounded, and with the sound of "click", Xiao Yuan turned on the overhead light.

Jiang Xin stuffed the scissors into the pocket of his pajamas as quickly as possible, and then pretended to be sweeping the floor: "I just wanted to go down, so I turned off the light."

"That's it." Xiao Yuan didn't doubt him, and then he saw Yuanyuan at Jiang Xin's feet, and cried, "I've only left for a few days, and you let it enter the house?"

"..." Jiang Xin was afraid that Xiao Yuan's actor would cry, so he had to change the subject, "Why are you here? Aren't you with your family?"

"I rushed back after the New Year's Eve dinner. Anyway, my mother is accompanied by my father, and my father is accompanied by my mother. I don't need me." Xiao Yuan patted his head, "Hurry up, hurry up and change clothes, I'll take you there New Year's Eve!"

After changing his clothes, Jiang Xin didn't know what he was thinking, so he stuffed the small cardboard box with the wooden ring into his jacket pocket.

Xiao Yuan took him to a square where many paper lanterns were lit, and the building next to him was also decorated with a light show of New Year's greetings.

"Are you here to show me paper lanterns?" Jiang Xin was puzzled. Although these paper lanterns were indeed beautiful, it was too cold, so it was better to stay at home comfortably.

He looked around, there were many people in the square, and most of them were lovers.

Are you all full and have nothing to do to blow the cold wind?

"I want to listen to the New Year's bell with you." Xiao Yuan said aggrievedly, "Aren't you willing?"

Jiang Xin nodded helplessly. He looked at the clock tower across the river. The minute hand had reached the "50" position, and it was only 10 minutes. Bear with it.

In the last 10 minutes, Xiao Yuan grabbed Jiang Xin's hand and played with his fingers. He stacked the fingers one by one in order for a while, and made them cross each other for a while.

Jiang Xin played with him, and watched the light show on the building by himself. After watching it for 3 minutes, he felt bored and then looked at the people around him. To be precise, they were couples. Unexpectedly, there were several couples who were already there. Looking at the posture, it seems that we will kiss from this year to next year.

He looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Your fingers are so soft." Xiao Yuan's voice rang in his ears, "Just play with me, I can make any pose."

Jiang Xin instantly thought of some discordant scenes, and mercilessly withdrew his hand.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Yuan also realized that his words were a bit of a pun. He knew that Jiang Xin had always been thin-skinned and didn't like to hear such words. When he was about to apologize, fireworks were lit up around him.

It turned out to be the last minute.

大家跟着时钟上的秒针，开始倒计时——“10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1、0！”

When the clock struck midnight, Xiao Yuan quietly put a silver ring on Jiang Xin's left middle finger.

Jiang Xin raised his hand and saw the ring on his middle finger. The shape was horrible and the surface was uneven. It looked like it was made by someone himself.

Xiao Yuan was afraid that Jiang Xin would find the ring too hot-eyed, and quickly said in a pitiful tone: "Don't be disgusted, although I didn't do it well, there are every chisel on it," Xiao Yuan paused for a while, and then changed In a solemn tone, "It's all about I love you."

Jiang Xin remained silent.

Xiao Yuan became more and more uneasy.

As if he had made a decision, Jiang Xin put the hood of his coat on his head, then hooked Xiao Yuan's neck, and kissed him.

Because he didn't find the right position, he bumped into Xiao Yuan's chin at first.

Has this guy grown taller again? Jiang Xin thought angrily, and then kissed him up to the corner of his mouth.

This is one of the few initiatives he has taken, and he is still outside.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Xin tightly, deepening the kiss.

The surrounding fireworks were still blooming, and the flickering lights shone on them from time to time. They were like other ordinary couples in the square, immersed in their own world.

—

When they got back to the car, their breath was still messy.

Jiang Xin sat on the co-pilot and calmed his breathing. When he put his hand into his pocket, he remembered that he had put today's live broadcast results in it before going out. He looked at the silver ring on his finger and put it in his pocket without much hesitation. He took out the ring from inside, took Xiao Yuan's hand, and put it on his middle finger.

Xiao Yuan was overjoyed at first, but then felt helpless: "How did you make the shape of cat ears?" He was afraid that Jiang Xin would be unhappy, so he whispered, "Obviously I know I don't like that Yuanyuan."

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." Jiang Xin threw himself on Xiao Yuan to get the ring back.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand and begged for mercy: "No, no, I like it very much. I want to wear it for the rest of my life, but..." He asked softly, "When can we put the ring on our ring finger?"

Jiang Xin didn't speak, Xiao Yuan lowered the back of the chair, covered his eyes, and kissed him without saying a word.

When Jiang Xin's last sliver of consciousness was about to disappear, he thought angrily that Xiao Yuan had no good intentions when he insisted on picking this SUV when buying a car before.

Yuanyuan was running around in a hurry in the room, she was in a hurry to urinate, but her litter box was still on the first floor.Damn it, it's been so long, why haven't those two two-legged beasts come back?
