Lianzhou

This little episode created by Qi Wen was temporarily forgotten by He Xin's repeated urging. The group set off and took the subway for two stops before arriving at their destination. I have to rejoice that I didn't choose to take a taxi just now.

Nowadays, the traffic in N City is getting more and more congested. Except for Gu Yi, the four of them usually need to drive to work, and the other three people live near their work places, so the car has been left in the garage to collect dust. In addition, this time, three of the four people are Even if they are acquaintances, no one cares about the weirdness of four adults having dinner but choosing to travel by subway.

After the four of them entered the store and took their seats, they finished ordering quickly, and went to pick up the saucers one by one. He Xin was the last one to come back and asked Yu Lichu while the pot was still hot: "Where did you stop and what?" Who is talking, the car is not cheap at first glance, even the license plate is a combination of [-], this car looks at your colleagues, except for the second generation of rich and dean level, who is capable of spending money so readily to buy this car? Be honest , where do you know rich people?"

Yu Lichu seemed a little helpless, and nodded Gu Yi beside him with his chin: "Isn't there a rich man sitting next to you? Do you think everyone is like us, working hard for ten years, and coming out to take other people's money?" I thought the salary was high, and I had to put my head on the waist of my trousers all the time—no, your laboratory is not the same as mine, and besides, don’t you get a lot of money? Imaging ranks at the bottom of the hospital’s salary ranking. I can still think about it..."

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Yan Yan. When the other party saw him looking over, he raised his hands and smiled wryly: "I have a car, but I got a loan. I used to be a doctor of conscience, and I didn't accept red envelopes or gifts. .”

He Xin tapped on the table in front of him, and still said to Yu Lichu: "Stop talking about this, and explain the problem quickly, male or female?"

Yu Lichu used his elbows to figure out which valley He Xin's brain circuit had turned into, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't use your brain to think about it, that person is Qi Wen from the former drama club."

He Xin was a little stunned after hearing this, and was still a little confused after thinking hard for a long time: "Which anecdote?"

Yu Lichu clicked his tongue, and had no choice but to continue to help him remember: "Didn't you still be in the student union when you were a junior, you held a graduation party for the fifth-year undergraduates, you went to our club to borrow equipment to shoot VCRs, and then went to our club to borrow equipment to shoot VCRs. The drama club borrowed people to put on a show, and there was a naysayer in it, who had a fight with you several times in rehearsal, and the one who gave you a drink at the student meeting afterward."

After mentioning this point, He Xin immediately pulled out a person from his memory and took a seat: "Ah! It's just about that special thing, the revenge of drinking, hehe, I will never forget it." He didn't realize the idiom at the end at all. He didn't use it right, so he just turned his head and patted Yu Lichu and said, "You can do it, you still remember things after so long, your memory is good enough, why did he ask you?"

While talking, all the dishes were served, and the soup in the pot was boiling. While listening to them, Yan Yan boiled the mutton with chopsticks. Hearing this, he suddenly picked up the chopsticks and pressed it straight into Yu Lichu's bowl. Smiling authentically: "The memory is good enough."

Yu Lichu trembled all over when he heard it, and immediately grasped the meaning of Yan Yan's sarcasm.

He Xin didn't notice this at all, probably sensed Yu Lichu's inner cry for help, and suddenly Fuzhi turned the topic to Yan Yan: "Master... Director Yan was also a senior at the time, did you come to the graduation party?" ? I see your familiar face, and I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Yan Yan took another piece of mutton with his chopsticks unhurriedly, as if he was no longer attached to the matter just now, he concentrated on chatting with He Xin: "We are the same age, you can just call me Yan Yan—the graduation party... I I am studying in the eight-year system, so the undergraduate graduation party is supposed to have nothing to do with me," he paused for a moment after finishing speaking, as if twisting the sentence on the tip of his tongue a few times before uttering it, "But I have participated in the preparation work, and you belong to the student union If it is a cadre, maybe we have actually met it."

Xu Shiyan pronounced the word "maybe" too meaningfully, and Yu Lichu easily caught the key point, but he didn't have a clue at the moment, so he simply ignored it.

Yu Lichu thought that this topic was about to come to an end, but he didn't expect that Yan Yan would bring the topic to a new direction. He only heard him ask He Xin: "You and your girlfriend, one is a medical student and the other is a financial student. How did you get together?" of? A high school classmate?"

After hearing this, Gu Yi shook his head: "I only met him in Yanyan, when he was in his fifth year."

This kind of romantic past always seemed a little embarrassing to me, so Yu Lichu took over the conversation spontaneously, pointed to He Xin and began to explain: "This person went to the library to borrow books and saw him sitting there reading a book, and he fell in love with him at first sight. , but he was very cowardly, he dawdled for a long time and didn't dare to strike up a conversation, and finally asked me to buy him a bottle of juice, and then borrowed flowers and presented Buddha to sit next to his house and pushed the juice over, and guess what happened?" He didn't mean to It made people guess, and after finishing speaking, he automatically picked up the conversation, "As a result, the man took a look, took it over, unscrewed the bottle cap, and pushed it back for him."

At the end of the sentence, He Xin's gentle and thick skin turned red, and he punched Yu Lichu lightly: "Can you stop calling me so obscene."

Gu Yi boiled the mutton with chopsticks for He Xin, raised his eyelids slightly, noble and glamorous: "Of course you are not obscene, thanks to your good looks, otherwise I won't even twist the bottle cap for you." It was the uprightness of carrying out the justice of face control, and he added at the end, "Even my roommate at the time said you looked strangely gay."

He Xin turned his head in horror: "What did you say?"

"By modern standards, that's the equivalent of saying you're handsome—do you want to refute that?"

He Xin thought for two seconds, and resolutely gave up the few prospects: "Forget it, ugly and gay, I choose gay."

Yan Yan continued, "According to this calculation, it has been seven years. You are an advanced model."

He Xin emptied the mutton that Gu Yi had boiled for him two or three times, and did not forget to nod his head: "That's right, I chased her for two months and went through all kinds of hardships, so I wouldn't just give it up to others."

Yan Yan smiled and said, "If you protect food like this, your character must be very good."

As soon as the words fell, the pot of soup in front of the four of them suddenly exploded into a splash, and the hot soup almost splashed on their faces. The four of them were stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned their heads to look aside.

——A child about ten years old was holding the beef balls on the plate next to their table, and was raising his hand to throw it into the soup.

Seeing the situation, Yan Yan quickly reached out to stop the child's hand, and said in a deep voice in surprise, "Where did the child come from, such a bear."

Seeing that throwing the balls was not going to work, the child quickly locked his eyes on the pompom hanging on the side of Gu Yi's bag. He reached out and grabbed it, then raised his head and said to Gu Yi, "I want this."

Gu Yi showed an unusually kind smile to the child with an innocent face in front of him.

"No."

The kid was so used to it that he didn't expect to be rejected, his expression froze for a moment, and then he flattened his mouth, as if he was about to wail in the next second.

Gu Yi reached out and touched his head, but actually turned the person's face to her, with a smile on her face: "If you dare to cry, I will say that you made the cut on my bag." She Pointing to the slit that had existed in the early morning on his designer bag, he continued to gently intimidate, "Sister, this bag is not expensive, but no matter what, it is worth much more than you. When the time comes, your parents will pay you to me , I don’t want it either.” She stretched out her hand and pulled the pompom out of the child’s hand, “My child, listen carefully, my sister is old, and she can beat her for being disrespectful. Man, do you want to try it here? Huh?"

The child had never seen anything in the world. He was used to bears and had never touched a hard rock. At this moment, he was so frightened that he didn't even know how to howl. After he realized it, he turned around and ran away.

Gu Yi stopped laughing, turned around and picked up the chopsticks: "Where did you just say?"

Yan Yan's eyebrows twitched, his expression a bit indescribable: "Take it as if I didn't say it."

Yu Lichu reached out and patted Yan Yan's shoulder, expressing his understanding: "Back then, people around thought that Gu Yi had fallen into a trap, but no one thought that He Xin had fallen for it. He chased after him for a month. I can see that these two people are not in the same rank at all."

Afterwards, halfway through the hot pot meal, the four of them ordered a few cans of beer, drank a few glasses, and talked relatively more, and the topic began to become open-minded.

He Xin and Yan Yan had a good temper, so they chatted more: "You have studied medicine for so many years, why did you suddenly change your profession?"

Yu Lichu's hand holding the cup suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then quickly continued his movements without making a sound.

Yan Yan went too far briskly, and he didn't know if he was too weak to drink. After a few drinks, he started to behave generously. He lifted his right hand and tore off the band-aid on his wrist without much hesitation.

Yu Lichu noticed a bandage on Yan Yan's right wrist very early on. As for what's under there, the answer is self-evident.

Through the steaming mist, He Xin could still see clearly that it was a long scar that stretched across his entire wrist. The color of the scar formed a strong contrast with the surrounding skin. The stitched body looked like a fat centipede. At this moment, without the cover of the Band-Aid, it suddenly became shocking.

It was also the first time for Yu Lichu to see this scar. Anyone who is a medical student can imagine how horrific a scar of this level must be at the beginning of the injury.

But the injured deity seemed calm: "Last year, Corey was accidentally involved in a medical trouble after a round of the ward, and his hand was injured. It was finally judged to be an accident. After the injury recovered, although it did not affect normal life. , but I can no longer perform fine movements—"

Those present who followed the unfinished words all knew it well.

The chief surgeon can't perform the operation, and his achievements in medicine have already seen the ceiling. If he thinks about finding another way or transferring to another department, he may not be able to pass the test in his heart.

He Xin consciously picked an inappropriate topic, and cleverly used a few words to bypass it. The other two also tacitly did not offer comfort. Obviously, words of comfort are not available to Yan Yan except for being sentimental. what value.

Yan Yan accepted the silent kindness, and cooperated with another topic: "You have been together for so many years, when are you going to get married?"

He Xin also flattened his mouth when he heard this, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of the child just now: "I intend to marry, but they don't want to marry."

Gu Yi at the side didn't seem to hear anything, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, his mind was not distracted, and his eyes were clean.

Yu Lichu was the only bystander in the game, and he had already seen through it at a glance. He took a chopstick and knocked on the glass in front of He Xin, and laughed with a three-pointed taunt: "The attitude is that he is waiting for you."

He Xin was very surprised: "Attitude? Am I not sincere enough?"

Yu Lichu curled his lips, as if it was difficult for one person to shake this elm head: "Of course it doesn't refer to your attitude towards her."

"Not her? Then who else? Isn't our country monogamous?"

It was rare in Yu Lichu's life that he was speechless at this moment, so he just didn't bother to talk to him, picked up the colander beside the pot and distributed the cooked vegetables in the pot to Gu Yi and Yan Yan: "Hey Xin is already full, let him digest, don't leave him any more."

After He Xin heard this, he immediately started to beat him noisily, and continued to eat lively until 08:30. After the meal was over, He Xin and Yan Yan got up and went to the bathroom. After Gu Yi paid the bill, he and Yu Li Go out together at the beginning.

The road at this point looks a lot deserted, the street lamps on both sides of the road are lit with warm yellow lights, and the night wind is a bit cool, easily blowing away the smell of spices from the shop, Gu Yi will Putting her hand into the pocket of the thin windbreaker, she suddenly said without warning, "You still live so clearly."

Yu Lichu smiled, but did not speak.

Gu Yi then continued, with a very soft tone: "It's been seven years, and many people have asked me, is it him? If so, when will we get married? Among these people, there are my parents and my grandma. , and He Xin himself."

Yu Lichu didn't think the words were abrupt, so he still didn't say anything, just dutifully being a listener, waiting quietly for the next one.

"Others think that I am not ready, but only I know that he is not ready."

"—Cheng Qiu is back."

Hearing this, Yu Lichu finally turned his head and glanced at Gu Yi. The woman in front of him looked the same as before, shed the youthful childishness of her college days, but those eyes were full of content from beginning to end, like The light of the lonely planet in the distant universe also flickers and shines brightly.

"She specially sent an email to notify me of the news, and a sentence was attached at the end of the email."

"She said—I still like him."

Yu Lichu tilted his head and asked, "So how did you reply to her?"

Gu Yi's eyes reflected the double flashing lights of the car on the other side, one on and one off, and there was a silent arrogance flowing between his brows and eyes: "——it's none of my business."

The two looked at each other and laughed silently at the same time.

After Yan Yan and He Xin came out, the four of them bid farewell and left two by two in different directions.

Whether Yan Yan's house is far or near is not far from here, the two of them discussed and walked back to eat.

Tonight, the two talked a lot. Although most of the time they were bullying He Xin, they had a better understanding of each other's experiences in just a few words. The emotional resonance needs to be investigated, but the gains in intelligence are the naked eye. visible.

Yan Yan's gloomy and obscure past was easily uncovered by himself for others to spy on. Yu Lichu didn't know whether it was the three of them who were too forgetful, or whether Yan Yan was too carefree, but what is certain for now is that Yan Yan Trust him more than he imagined.

Thinking of this, the corners of his heart swelled silently, as if the first rose quietly grew on the planet.

Yu Lichu turned his head and glanced at Yan Yan's hanging left hand, stretched out his hand and held it loosely, and asked, "How does your wrist feel?"

Yan Yan symbolically touched Yu Lichu's hand and turned his wrist, with an imperceptible comforting tone: "I don't feel it anymore, I don't even remember it unless you mention it."

Yu Lichu looked at the bruise that hadn't faded, and saw that it was indeed as Yan Yan said, that it wasn't swollen.

He nodded reassuringly, and he was about to let go of his hand naturally, but he didn't want Yan Yan to grab his forearm with his backhand.

The little wine the two of them drank at night couldn't even put their face on, but Yu Lichu still asked, "Are you drunk?"

Yan Yan exhaled with a faint aroma of malt, half of his face was exposed to the warm yellow light, and the other half was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were very bright, with a faint smile: "If I say I'm drunk, you Do you believe it?"

Yu Lichu met that gaze, and followed him to make jokes: "I don't believe it. But seeing that you are a wounded person, carrying you is a dream, so it's okay to support you."

Unexpectedly, Yan Yan suddenly stopped talking, the two of them stood in the 23-degree night wind, and the people around them fell down. Yu Lichu felt that the rose in his heart was slowly blooming, and the pause in his heart was always pulled It is infinitely long, but in reality it is only a few seconds. After a short blank, Yan Yan suddenly pulled out a deep and wry smile.

"How can it be reconciled." He said.

At that moment, Yu Lichu almost really thought that Yan Yan was drunk, but at this moment he knew better than anyone else that the heads of both of them couldn't be more clear now.

He felt the palm on the arm tighten slightly, and the heartbeat seemed to come from the fingertips, beating Yu Lichu's heart one by one.

The eyes of the person in front of him are unrestrained, as if there is a hidden storm, and every emotion is thrilling: "I don't want to get too much comfort, because the things on my back are already heavy enough, so I have to live a chic life. Really, live your regrets as fakes."

"——I hope you don't want to comfort me, because this sentence is not reconciled, and I only say it to you."

People who are almost 30 years old often forget how to spell the word "weakness". It is not worrying to be able to tell others, and the comfort of others is empty words. Even more rare.

As Gu Yi said, Yu Lichu lives too clearly, and people who know too well always maintain dignity and are not easy to get into a dead end, but their mood swings also lack tension. In other words, they are indifferent. Showing weakness, but he couldn't remain indifferent.

As if with a pop, the rose in his heart suddenly left the planet and flew into the sky, leaving only a bright red rose in place.
