apple

Chapter 1 Chapter 1

一

On the third Christmas Eve, Lu Wei received Tang Qing's apple for the third time.

In the middle of the night, the roommate was wrapped in cold clothes and pushed the door in. Lu Wei was lying motionless on the bed with his feet up and his eyes open. Under his eyes was an apple, which glowed when touched, and seemed to be stared at Burn out a gap.

"Old Lu, you're lonely, why don't you go to sleep?"

Lu Wei turned over, but before he could say a word, he held up the apple.The roommate said something bad in his heart, and subconsciously covered his face, but after a few seconds, he didn't see Lu Wei flying the thing over.Quietly opening a finger, it was Lu Wei with a silly face, showing off the apple in 360 degrees.The roommate was startled, a word of temptation rolled around in his mouth and swallowed it back.In the end, he muttered with mixed feelings, "...the children are old enough, and Lao Lu has a partner. Forget it. Dad can't care about you anymore." Then he went to sleep with his clothes on.

Lu Wei thought to himself, I am your father, a single father.

The apple in the hand is not big or small, and it is not beautiful at all.Lu Wei knew it in his heart.On Christmas Eve, vendors of all sizes put out exquisitely packaged gift apples, just like the winning ladies in a beauty contest, wrapped in heavy dresses worthy of them, so that they could be lucky enough to be selected.

The apples are usually red and round, without any spot or wrinkle, and no matter what the taste is, if you deliver them to the other party, you can't put it down.Unlike the gray-faced, red-yellow, and spiritless one right now.It rolls off the table, ugly and silly.

Tang Qing asked him to go downstairs a few minutes before zero o'clock. Lu Wei had been at home for a whole day, his hair was not combed and his face was not washed, but he didn't dare to delay, so he ran downstairs kicking on his slippers.There are few snowflakes, and there is no wind, floating melodiously.The man was dressed in red and wore a black mask.With a slender waist and long legs, it looks like a tall and straight pine tree.

Lu Wei's feet were cold, but his heart was burning hot.Tang Qing held the bag in his left hand, and kept holding an apple in his right hand, and handed it to Lu Wei with his body temperature: "Happy Christmas Eve, silly son." The fingers and palms were separated at the touch of a finger. Before Lu Wei could finish thanking him, he handed it to Lu Wei. Go to your dormitory.

A flash in the pan, Lu Wei stood in the snow for a while.It wasn't until the red dot finally disappeared in the night like red ink dripping into the black ink, that he walked back to the dormitory with his feet that were no longer frozen, staring at the apple in a daze while keeping warm.

"I still think of myself as Santa Claus..."

He caught a glimpse of the whole bag of apples in Tang Qing's left hand, which was ridiculous.I just don’t know if everyone is as ugly as this one?

Lu Wei felt that he didn't care about this.

Since the two met, every Christmas Eve, I would receive this fruit that symbolizes friendship.Tang Qing has a delicate face but has never been a careful person. This kind of fruit often doesn't pay attention to the appearance and mood.Or the aesthetics are really different. In short, Lu Wei has never received anything uglier than "Tang Qing's Apple" in the past three years.

However, Lu Wei was overjoyed.From receiving apples, to collecting, to rotting.That's true for the first year.It wasn't until Lu Wei inadvertently found Ye Ye's circle of friends in the second year. That apple, which was as delicate as a ruby ​​and not like an apple, overlapped with the hands of the two of them, was like a sudden rainstorm that extinguished the flames of self-righteous joy. .

On a quiet and peaceful night, some people are lingering with their lovers, while others are carnival with their brothers.In Lu Wei's dormitory, he was the only one left, with the disturbing snores from the lower bunk.

He scratched his head, looking at the still fresh apple, he felt more and more that he saw himself.Ordinary, bleak, even the cuteness of the ugly duckling is gone.But after one bite, it turned out to be a watery sweetness that I had never tasted before.The sweetness only lasted for a while, and it was mixed with the bitterness of the peel.The speed of Lu Wei's tongue slowed down, and he gave an imperceptible wry smile with an apple in his mouth.

"Stinky boy... give it to me without even washing it..."
