No.70 days

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Wu covered his mouth and coughed all morning, until his own voice became hoarse, and his mother finally noticed the strangeness of his son.

"Why are you coughing again?" Mom asked worriedly, "You don't have a fever, do you? Take your temperature."

Shao Wu squeezed his throat, and pretended to cough twice: "No, I can feel it myself when I have a fever, it's just... Maybe it was New Year's Eve when I set off fireworks with my brother and the others, and the wind was blowing."

"Hey, what happened!" Dad also came over and frowned, "The young man can't stand the wind?"

"He only had a fever last month!" Mom stretched out her hand and touched Shao Wu's forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever. "Is it uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, it's just a cough." Shao Wu bit his lip, his expression was very tangled, "Didn't grandma always have a cold, and I won't infect her?"

"I'm just worried, you cough cough, don't make her cough too."

Shao Wu hesitated: "Why don't I go today...the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Mom: "Then the three of us are not going?"

Dad shook his head and said, "That's not good, I'm going back to my mother's house in the second year of junior high school."

Shao Wu coughed again, but didn't speak.

Finally, after discussing with his parents, they had to decide to keep Shao Wu at home.When going out, my mother still rubbed Shao Wu's hair worriedly, and said: "Drink more hot water, and call us if you have a fever."

"Don't worry, cough," Shao Wu replied, "I won't have a fever."

So my parents drove back to their mother's house with some new year's goods.

Shao Wu leaned on the window, watched his own car drive out of sight, and felt a little guilty, touched his face.

Lied.

It's really impossible not to lie this time - but he really wants to see Yang Shuyi.It was only past nine o'clock, and Yang Shuyi hadn't called yet.Shao Wu almost ran into the room at a trot, and plunged into the closet.He has been thinking about what to wear today since last night: he likes a pair of gray and white jeans very much. They are slim-fit and have narrow hips and long legs. Unfortunately, these jeans are ripped. There is a round hole at the left knee, revealing his fair skin. .Shao Wu thought to himself, since Yang Shuyi's father-in-law and mother-in-law are all there, he should not wear these pants, right?It's better to dress well, besides, it's so cold.What about sweatpants?But the sweatpants are too wide and too shapeless...just choose the top first.Shao Wu has already decided to wear that gray plaid coat, which is the one he sang in the party, but Yang Shuyi hurried to the hospital without even looking at it.A gray plaid coat should go well with a white sweater, right?Shao Wu really has a white woolen sweater that his aunt knitted for him in her spare time, but here comes another problem—this woolen sweater has a high collar.

Shao Wu looked at himself in the mirror, the white turtleneck made his face powdery, was it because the floor heating was turned on at home and the temperature was too high?Put on a coat again, no, this match is too girly!And it seems weird to wear a turtleneck with sweatpants, alas - do you really need to wear sweatpants?So ugly.

Shao Wu tried and tried, and there were hills of clothes piled up on the bed. He wanted to look cute and gentle, but he didn't want to dress up too "motherly".After entanglement and entanglement, I don't know how long it took, and the phone vibrated with a "buzz".

Shao Wu was startled, stepped on the sweatpants he had just taken off, and hurriedly answered the phone.

"When will you come?" Yang Shuyi said, "Get off at the first turntable, and I will pick you up there."

"Well, soon, what time is it?"

"Ten twenty."

"Then I... will arrive at the station at about eleven o'clock."

"OK," Yang Shuyi's tone changed, half threatening and half admonishing, "Don't buy anything, as long as people come."

"Ok, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Wu looked up, facing himself in the mirror.He saw the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised—a smile on his face.

Shao Wu was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was so obvious when talking to Yang Shuyi on weekdays?

In the end, he wore a brown sweater with a plaid shirt collar, a pair of off-white slacks on his lower body, and straight-leg trousers tucked into pure black Martin boots.Shao Wu was basically satisfied with this body.He brought a box of canned yellow peaches and a box of Red Fuji apples from the balcony. He was not afraid that his parents would find something missing—every New Year, there would always be a lot of people coming to give presents, and the balcony was full of piles. Mom can't see it.

Before going out, he suddenly remembered something, Shao Wu hurriedly took off his shoes, ran barefoot into his parents' bedroom, and grabbed her aloe vera gel from his mother's dresser.In winter, my face is prone to peeling, but other skin care products have fragrance, and only aloe vera gel is suitable.

After doing all this, Shao Wu picked up the cans and apples, locked the door behind him, and walked out quickly.The supermarket in the community is playing "Lucky Come", the tone is festive and lively, Shao Wu's heart is also following the song, as if it is about to fly.

He was going to see Yang Shuyi, he knew that Yang Shuyi was waiting for him at the station.
