Chapter 15: See Xuemei Again
The music of the scene floated out from nowhere-Fan Xiaoxuan's "Snowman": Snow piece by piece / spell out the fate of you and me / My love is born because of you / Your hand touches my heartache...... The snow, one by one, flutters in the air, freely and freely, indulging in its own charm. You squeezed me, I leaned on you, so ambiguous with each other, falling in the lonely night-
Zhao Zhigang looked at Zhang Xuemei, held his head high, and said with a little pride: That's right, it's Brother Ghost! Zhang Xuemei stared at "Brother Xian" for a while, a little embarrassed, a little nervous, twisted, and smiled and said: Why are you here, Brother Ghost?
The girl was wearing pajamas and a down jacket outside, looked at Zhang Xuemei and Zhao Zhigang, wrapped her clothes tightly and ran to the gate of the community, and burrowed into the flickering courtyard. "Brother Xian" watched her walk away, just walked over slowly, did not answer Zhang Xuemei's question, in fact, he didn't know how to answer, pretending to be nothing, and didn't see anything, but he clearly saw it again, and in this way, a "obscene" means - he pulled the falling snow on his head, nodded to Zhao Zhigang with a smile, and said hello to him.
Zhang Xuemei said curtly again: Look at you like this, it's not been a short time coming! "Brother Xian" still didn't answer, standing in front of the two of them, looking at them with fire in his eyes. Zhao Zhigang looked at "Brother Xian" a little timidly, lowered his head with his eyes, and subconsciously pulled with his feet, and a thin layer of snow under his feet gathered a short pile.
Zhang Xuemei looked at "Brother Xian", wrapped her clothes from her pockets with both hands, and said hesitantly: "Or—let's go—go to the house and sit down for a while, and warm up! Zhao Zhigang chimeled in: That's it—standing here and freezing to death!" "Brother Xian" still didn't say anything, walked straight to the bicycle, patted the snow on the saddle, stepped on, and pedaled forward with difficulty on the muddy road.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, "Brother Xian" did not get out of the car, one foot was stunned on the edge of the road, and the other foot was on the pedals, waiting for them without looking back; by the dim light he looked at the sky, the snow had stopped, only on the branches of trees, on the edge of buildings, occasionally sliding down, without any sound; the chill was gusting, and the wind through the hall was running through the door like a hair dryer, "whirring" and sounding, "Brother Xian" let out a long breath and sighed deeply, and a white mist steamed in front of him——
Zhang Xuemei ran up with a smile and said: Have you eaten, did you just watch us eat? "Brother Xian" still didn't speak, and pointed to the meat sandwich shop opposite, Zhang Xuemei giggled and said: Is it enough for you to eat, it's all for girls!
"Brother Xian" said angrily, half-jokingly, with a complaint: I have already been angry with you! Zhang Xuemei laughed again, and then said: I am willing to open the golden mouth - while speaking, Zhao Zhigang also caught up, and said to the two of them with a little embarrassment: I will go to the store to buy some snacks, you don't have to wait for me!
"Brother Xian" followed Zhang Xuemei into the community, parked the bicycle in the carport at the door, looked at Zhang Xuemei, "Hey-" sighed, and said helplessly: In fact, I should have been self-aware from last time, but I still didn't give up, I just wanted to get lucky-I just called Mr. Zhang on the weekend, or listened to Mr. Zhang's advice, we are all in the provincial capital, take care of each other, I just wanted to come to see you today, I wanted to give you a surprise!
Zhang Xuemei looked at him shyly, her eyes flashed, tears flashed slightly, and she pretended to be angry and said: "It's still a surprise, it's just a fright!" "Brother Xian" smiled "hehehe", and said calmly: It's okay, it seems that someone has already taken care of you, I'm idle, so I don't have to worry about it!
Zhang Xuemei lowered her head, for fear of falling, stretched out her hand to hold the arm of "Brother Xian", gently leaned on him, walked slowly, and said: How long have you waited, you can leave a message to my BB machine, I will come out to pick you up! "Brother Xian" raised his head, tried his best to restrain his tears, and said with a smile: It didn't take long, more than an hour, and I just went around - "Brother Xian" took a long breath, and then said: Before I could ask, Mr. Zhang was anxious about something, and the phone hung up!
"Brother Xian" looked at the front and already saw the community wall, Zhang Xuemei never had the intention of going upstairs, and he didn't say it explicitly, the two of them continued to walk around the circular path in Xiaonei, with huge poplars on both sides, huge canopies, and roads stretched by tree roots, and cracks in the snow extended in all directions, until they disappeared into the night-
"Brother Xian" looked at her and asked: Are you cold? After speaking, she was about to take off her coat, Zhang Xuemei took out her arm, hurriedly pressed his hand, and said resolutely: I am already hot, and the soles of my feet feel sweaty-don't take it off, no, you can try my palm! "Brother Xian" hesitated for a moment, and gently touched her palm with his fingertips, and a wave of warmth hit the tip of his heart from his fingertips to the tips of his heart, and condensed into tears under his eyes——
After Zhang Xuemei finished speaking, she took the arm of "Brother Xian" again, and said with a smile: How is it, at school? "Brother Xian" tried to restrain his tears, sneered, and said: Fortunately, everything is not going well, and it is not satisfactory!
Zhang Xuemei giggled, and then said: How long has it been, no matter how familiar with all aspects of the process, don't worry-isn't it different when you are in the city, see who can have the last laugh! "Brother Xian" told her everything that happened to him from the last time they met to the last time, no matter how big or small.
After listening, Zhang Xuemei walked quickly to the "Virtuous Brother" and said solemnly: I'm sorry, Brother Ghost! "Virtuous Brother" looked at her, and some of the second monks were confused, looking at her in place. Zhang Xuemei said curtly: For the fact that you were unsuccessful, I want to apologize to all our fellow countrymen!
"Brother Xian" touched his head, "Huh-" shouted, and said: That girl is you! Zhang Xuemei lowered her head in shame, and kept saying to "Brother Xian", "I'm sorry-" "Brother Xian" looked at it fixedly, his heart fluctuated slightly, and explained with a smile: Okay, the matter has passed-besides, I haven't fought back yet!
Zhang Xuemei lowered her head embarrassedly, still holding his arm, and said: I feel that everyone is a college student, and it is not bad to know two friends - who knows them - "Brother Xian" deliberately joked, and said with a smile: It seems that our school likes secret love, unrequited love, and self-inflicted amorousness!
Zhang Xuemei looked at him, stopped talking, and said: Your other things have nothing to do with me - they are all misunderstandings! "Brother Xian" said angrily: "You have to break off your relationship with me so soon!" After hearing this, Zhang Xuemei slammed him twice on the back. After walking around again, "Brother Xian" looked down at his watch and said apologetically: It's not early, I should go back, there is still half an hour to drive!
Zhang Xuemei didn't say anything, held him all the way to the gate, "Brother Xian" pushed the bicycle out, saw that the doorman was still cooking in the house, politely asked for paper and pen, wrote down the dormitory phone and handed it to Zhang Xuemei, Zhang Xuemei also left her pager number to him. The two walked to the side of the road, and "Brother Xian" stepped into the car and said, "Go back, it's still quite cold outside!" Zhang Xuemei smiled, shrunk her neck, put her hands in the pockets of her clothes, and nodded.
"Brother Xian" just rode out for a while, then retreated, and said with a smile: "Xuemei, call me Brother Xian in the future, Brother Ghost and you will say goodbye to me together!" After speaking, he ran onto the main road without looking back, and the wheels pressed against the slightly frozen water, making a faint friction sound, as if someone was moaning and howling in the night—
