When I got off the bus at the gate of Jinyuan, the street was already lit up at night, and the ground where no one had stepped on it was white. Holding back the thought of stepping in the snow, she quickened her pace towards the lobby. shook the snowflakes on his body, walked up to the property girl and asked Xu Che's itinerary.

The little sister on duty at the property is only in her twenties, very enthusiastic, very attentive in observation, and so enthusiastic that it is smacking. When Xu Che was mentioned, Jiang Yao could clearly see the light flashing in her eyes.

People, like all good things... And Xu Che is the most beautiful thing for her.

"In the morning, the previous owner, Grandma Xu, came over and stayed for only a few minutes before leaving. Mr. Xu never went downstairs. ”

"Okay, thank you. Jiang Yao was slightly stunned when she heard the news, and quickly nodded in thanks. Turning to leave, the good-looking one frowned. Suddenly remembering something, he turned around and left the lobby, disappearing into the night.

Standing in the elevator, on the palms of almost frozen hands, there are two small snowmen the size of palms. The snowman only has a general body shape, and as for the facial organs of the snowman, she wants the two of them to sketch together. When the time comes, put it in the refrigerator and freeze it, and you can leave this winter forever.

His fingers were cold, wet with snow and water, and he pressed the fingerprint lock several times before opening the door. The room was pitch black, and she tentatively shouted, "Xiao Che, are you at home?"

The room was quiet and scary, and she didn't like the dark. Darkness is oppressive and dull, and it can always make people's good mood inexplicably worse. Especially when she's not in a good mood... Xu Che's sudden stocking of herself made her, who had always been independent, feel cramped with gains and losses, and she didn't like her current situation very much.

"Coming back?" His voice sounded from the stairwell, and when Jiang Yao turned on the light, he was dressed in black home clothes, his hair was messy, and the expression on his face did not have the slightest warmth. Although they were walking towards her, she felt that the distance between the two was getting longer and longer.

She is not a little girl of seventeen or eighteen, and she will not have to go back to fight with him with Xu Che's sudden coldness, or use the same behavior to stimulate him. It's naïve... She was thinking, he would definitely explain, so just listen to herself.

"Look, here's the snowman I brought with me, and we'll paint it with facial features and freeze it in the freezer, and we'll be able to keep it all winter. Jiang Yao put away her bad mood, just because her hands were cold, she temporarily put the snowman on the cabinet.

Seeing Xu Che coming to her side, she held the snowman in the palm of her hand like a child selling treasures, and held it high so that he could see it more clearly.

"Throw it away!" Xu Che held his hands tightly together, and quickly turned his back to her. He didn't dare to take another look, for fear that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.

"Why?" The smile on Jiang Yao's face slowly condensed, staring at his back, the alienation became clearer and clearer, maybe she shouldn't be able to wait for an explanation.

"I don't like snow, throw it away, don't force me to do it. ”

Jiang Yao felt the snowman melt little by little, and walked in the direction of the kitchen with a straight face: "You don't like it, so you can impose your dislike on me?"

"I told you to throw it away!" Xu Che turned around and knocked the snowman that protected her in the palm of his hand to the floor. The snowman, which was originally round, was smashed into a mess. Little by little, the scattered snowflakes are melting and turning into water, and there is no longer the same form that it used to be...

She raised her head and looked at Xu Che's inexplicable face, his expression at the moment had never been seen before. It's like a jade boy who has been offended against the scales, and has been transformed into a Shura from hell.

She didn't laugh angrily, but she didn't know how much incomprehension and displeasure were mixed in this smile.

"Just because you don't like it, you want to deprive me of my right to like snowflakes? Xu Che, don't you think you're naïve like this?"

"You can take anything to your home, but you can't take snow. He had done his best, but the white world was still like a cage, trapped in it, unable to struggle.

Jiang Yao's tone was flat, without the slightest wave: "The reason? So you lost contact one day today, and the abnormality was all because of this snow?"

“...”

"Okay, the weather forecast says that there will be scattered light snow in the next week, so your aberration will remain for a week, right?" Jiang Yao raised his mobile phone, because he likes to watch snow, he specially wrote down the weather forecast for the next few days.

He remained silent, not intending to explain, just staring at her. Seeing her pick up her backpack and seeing her turn away, he still didn't speak.

"I'll go back to the school dormitory, it's not a cold war, let's talk when the weather clears, or I'm afraid I'll say something excessive. ”

It turns out that people are always greedy, enjoying his love when they are with him, but they want to occupy every corner of his heart. I want to snoop on his privacy, I want him to be completely complete and have nothing to hide.

When she left, there was a hint of hesitation, and she didn't close the door tightly with much force. When the elevator doors were about to close, she was still expecting something. He didn't catch up, and he didn't say a word to hold back.

When passing through the lobby, the property girl stood up and greeted with a smile on her face, Jiang Yao stopped for a moment and nodded, and then left quickly.

...

Outside cars couldn't enter the community, so Wei Wu and Chen Yu got off at the door and trotted all the way to the lobby.

"Please press the 22nd floor for us, a little faster. Wei Wuleng stomped his feet, he felt young and energetic, he was only wearing a pair of thin pants, not even autumn pants, this time the cold wind poured straight in, it was really terrible.

"I called and asked. The property girl didn't know Wei Wu, and she looked at his outfit with vigilance, which was indeed a little improper.

"No, Grandma Xu asked me to come, the man in the house hasn't been downstairs for a day, do you think he is willing to answer your phone?" Wei Wu cut off, really long-winded.

The property girl was unconvinced and made a phone call, but no one answered, so she had to obediently press the elevator with a card.

The two of them stood in the elevator, feeling a little warmer on their bodies, and their mouths were no longer scooping when they spoke.

"Is there something wrong with the girl downstairs just now, stepping on the snow so late?" Wei Wu said casually.

"What do you know, turtle. Now our little girls all like snowflakes and thieves are romantic. When you go back in a while, you put on thick pants and draw me a big heart, and I'll stand in it and take a picture. Chen Yu slammed his small fist and pretended to punch him.

When he stepped out of the elevator and saw that the door was open, Wei Wu rushed over with a brisk step, and then was stunned for a while, pouting and saying, "Big brother, don't tell me that you pee?"

Not far from Xu Che's right hand, a puddle of water was lying on the floor irregularly, and he was stunned to see the puddle of water motionless, which made people think a lot.

"Isn't Jiang Yao here?" Chen Yu walked in and took a look, there was no Jiang Yao, worried that it was too late.

"Hey, why don't you really scare people, right?" Wei Wusheng glanced at him without love, and sighed like an elder: "You kid is too worrying for adults. ”

Chen Yu winked at him, when is this time, is it a good time to joke?

"Xiao Che, we don't know Jiang Yao's position in your heart, the one who knows it best is you. Is she qualified to walk into the forbidden area in your heart? Whether there is or not, you'd better make it clear to others. Some injuries are done, and they can never be erased. ”

She's had a miscarriage, and it's been so long. In the middle of the night, she would think of the cold operating table, fear and guilt would always ripple in her heart, and she could understand how torturous it would be to be trapped in the cage of her mind.

"Get out, I don't want to talk to anyone right now. Xu Che pointed in the direction of the door, his face was still ugly.

He didn't dare to look out the window, didn't dare to chase her out. As long as he mentions snowflakes, he always can't help but want to go crazy. He was afraid of hurting her...

After Wei Wu and Chen Yu left, he called his aunt and grandmother first. After all, the situation here is not very good, and no one can persuade them, so everyone is worried.

Grandma Xu basically didn't close her eyes all night, and she kept looking forward to the snow clearing. She knew that it was impossible for the snow to disappear, but the wall in Xiao Che's heart could disappear slowly.

Who knew that this snow had been falling for a week, and she was restless at home, so she could only contact the property.

"The girl hasn't been back since she left in the night. You said they shouldn't break up, right?" Mother Xu thought that she was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and she was as flustered as a child.

"Possibly, Mom. Xiao Che's temper does not change, and no one can get rid of him. Xu Jie pursed her lips and whispered again: "I carved it out of the same mold with my brother, and I feel sorry for my sister-in-law to see what it makes my sister-in-law." ”

"Lin Qing's matter, it's true that your brother did something wrong. After so many years, I have no intention of mentioning it. Mother Xu's face sank.

Xu Jie raised her eyebrows, it seems that mothers all over the world are in pain... How many unconscionable things the eldest brother did when he was alive, and his mother couldn't persuade him, so he didn't care.

If Xiao Che was born in any family, his heart would not be so twisted.

"So what, I'll go find Jiang Yao, let's explain things clearly?" Xu Jie also asked casually, without his instructions on Xiao Che's matter, the entire Xu family did not dare to act rashly. There is an old lady sitting in the array, and the whole family is around him.

"No, let him handle his own affairs, and always learn to mature. ”

"Okay, then don't worry about it, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. ”

...

Jiang Yao walked in the ice and snow, watching the students take pictures in the snow and build snowmen. She could only walk around aimlessly until she was exhausted. When I returned to the dormitory, I didn't have to lose sleep, and I didn't have to think about it.

On the weekend, she put on her makeup and got dressed, but wandered around the dormitory all day. The snow outside the window was staccaly, but the person she was expecting never appeared. In the evening, she took off her makeup in frustration and plunged into the warm quilt, not even in the mood for dinner.

Even this week, she ate in the cafeteria with a few colleagues who were also staying in the same dormitory, except for some messages from students on her mobile phone, the avatar of the Batian did not appear, and the phone was turned on all day, and there was no call that she was looking forward to.

"Yaoyao, just now our director said that he would have a dinner at night, and we would go to eat hot pot next door. ”

"I'm going to go to a friend's house in the evening for her wedding on the weekend. Jiang Yao pursed her lips and smiled, it wasn't that she deliberately avoided Liu Shaoyang, but she just happened to make an appointment with Guo Leni.

"That's too unfortunate, isn't it, can't you finish eating early? The leader will give us face, it's not good if we don't take it?" The colleague leaned over to her and muttered in a low voice: "Yaoyao, are you still so young that you haven't thought about becoming a tutor after the graduate school entrance examination?" The Xiao Zheng in the office on the third floor has just graduated from graduate school and has already applied with the department. ”

"Her graduate student is studying at the Haida next door to the sea economy, right?" Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows in disbelief, she is a working graduate student, and now she wants to be a tutor, doesn't she need gold content?

"Of course, it's good that you are full-time graduate students when you first leave college. But now that you've been working for two years, you can't accept it if you give up your job and go to graduate school. On-the-job graduate students are also good, these colleges still need them, not to mention that our school must admit them. ”

Jiang Yao nodded thoughtfully, it was too late to sign up for graduate school this year. She also wanted to praise a sum of money and then a full-time graduate student last year. At present, the salary she can save is limited, and her current focus is on online articles.

Just like Dong Yan said before, as long as you read Huowen seriously, the books you write will definitely have a market. She wants to use her part-time job to save money, so that on the road to pursuing her dreams, it should be the happiest thing to rely on.

Jiang Yao's temperament has always been bland, and she will not and disdain to do these operations to tie up her boss. However, her colleague was kind, she persuaded herself for so long, even if she didn't want to go, she had to give her a little face.

"Teacher Jiang, where are you going collectively?" Chen Hao walked from a distance with a takeaway, seemingly careless, but Jiang Yao knew that he should be a meticulous work sent by Xu Che.

Jiang Yao hooked the corners of her lips, invisibly threatening: "Let's have dinner, Chen Hao, your assessment book is being sorted out." ”

"Yes, yes, I understand. He smiled and left with the takeaway, but turned around and changed his face. Compared to the brothers... Or brothers are important. edited a message and sent it to Xu Che, humming a tune and going back to the dormitory.

Liu Shaoyang sat in the crowd, and when he saw Jiang Yao walking in with other colleagues, the curvature of his mouth rose even more. It is undeniable that he likes Jiang Yao's temperament. In front of people, she is mature and steady, generous. After the human being, she stepped around in the snow like a little girl, and he wanted her to show her cheerful side in front of him, which he absolutely cherished.

There are two tables in the private room, one for both men and women. Several people thanked the director, and then the audience started to talk, laugh and laugh, and they were very relaxed. The married person talks about the interesting things in his family, and the unmarried person laments that it is not easy to be alone...

Teacher Jiang, you didn't live in school some time ago, did you live in Jinyuan? This girl named Xiao Zheng is the same age as herself, but she squeezes her eyebrows when she speaks, giving people a snarky look.

Jiang Yao's heart was already trembling with excitement, she was afraid that she would be seen by Xiao Zheng when she entered and exited Jinyuan with Xu Che. But there is still a faint smile on his face, and he does not deny it. "Yes. ”

"Jinyuan's house is precious, even our salary is only enough to pay the rent. No, the owners of Jinyuan are either rich or expensive, and they generally do not rent out their houses. Xiao Zheng's tone sounded like gossip, but she wanted to ruin Jiang Yao's reputation.

Jinyuan is a rich community, and Jiang Yao can live in it with a salary, so there is only one explanation. Needless to say, everyone knows it. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Yao only admits that she has a boyfriend, but never elaborates on it, this makes people think even more.

"I stayed at my friend's house. Jiang Yao indifferently sent a piece of mutton to his mouth.

It seems that Xiao Zheng only knows that he lives in Jinyuan, and he doesn't know Xu Che's existence? But what kind of grudge does she have with her?

Sister Wu responded: "It's the friend you want to get married, right? It's really a blessing, it's not an ordinary family to be able to live in Jinyuan." ”

No, it's another friend of mine. Jiang Yao wanted to nod, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she explained.

Xiao Zheng saw that his plan was ruined by Sister Wu, although he was smiling on his face, he was scolding in his heart. Just now, these colleagues thought that Jiang Yao was raised... Before the thought was instilled, it was whitewashed, and it was really in vain this painstaking effort.

At the moment when she met Liu Shaoyang's eyes, Jiang Yao was still wondering. Catching a glimpse of Xiao Zheng's gaze looking at Liu Shaoyang from time to time, she probably understood why Xiao Zheng was hostile to her.

It seems that being liked by people is sometimes a kind of distress. When I was in college, why didn't there be such an affectionate suitor around me?

Could it be that she was ugly at that time, but now she is better-looking? She took a picture of herself with the black screen of her mobile phone, and she couldn't say how amazing it was, it might be a little intriguing.

The leader invited guests, Liu Shaoyang was the east, and after eating for a while, he came over with a wine glass and touched a glass one by one.

"I replace wine with tea. Jiang Yao felt that the beer was very bitter and the liquor was very spicy, and she didn't want to taste these flavors. It's been twenty-six years, and she hasn't drunk a glass of wine, so naturally she won't make an exception for anyone.

When it was Xiao Zheng's turn to drink with Liu Shaoyang, she was very refreshing. After clinking glasses with him, he poured himself another glass: "Director Liu, I thank you for this cup, and thank the school for giving me this opportunity." ”

"You're welcome, it's the result of your efforts. Liu Shaoyang nodded politely, and then returned to the men's seat to take a seat.

While they were toasting, Jiang Yao replied to Guo Leni's message, and just put down her mobile phone, a text message came over and the screen was lit up. Jiang Yao glanced at it, it was the long-lost phone number, so long lost that she thought the two had broken up...

"I'm waiting for you in the parking space opposite. ”

"I was having dinner with my colleagues, and at first, it was hard to go out. Jiang Yao was sure that she was angry, even if he didn't chase him out that day, as long as he was willing to come over the next day, she would definitely not be angry. But now... If she is uncomfortable, she will also want him to be uncomfortable.

"Then I'll go in and pick you up. ”

"I'll come out. Jiang Yao tapped the screen fiercely, and the roots of her teeth were trembling.
