Chapter 140: Late Winter Night
Whenever there is a dead of night, it seems that people like to think, thinking a lot, including their recent life status, and missing a distant person, the mood at this moment, the meaning of life, and their own path.
Han Bin was holding a bottle of beer alone, sitting alone on the winter river dam, the ice on the bare convex stones, but he didn't seem to be aware at all.
For him, he still hasn't seen the road ahead clearly, and it seems that in the past year, he has only been immersed in the emotional atmosphere he has created, unable to extricate himself.
When he was a child, he thought that when he grew up, he would be the princess charming of that princess, and she would become his princess, as if things backfired, and life was always unwilling to go in the direction we wanted.
The engagement date set by his mother was getting closer and closer, and he counted less than five days on his fingers, and he was both looking forward to her arrival and fearing her arrival.
I still remember the appearance of jumping the rubber band, as soon as she jumped up the rubber band, as if she was crazy, I saw her jump faster and faster, jump higher and higher, sometimes split her legs, sometimes kick backwards, all kinds of things, just like a jumping little monkey, dazzling, but she can still be happy to close her mouth.
"Han Chen, Han Chen!" Lin Xiaoxiao's call to him came from a distance, he froze, turned on the flashlight in his hand, and shook it in the direction of the sound.
The shining light turned on, and Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered her eyes, as if she was dazzled by this intense light.
"Han Chen, is that you?" she asked loudly from a distance.
"Sure enough, she knows me best, she knows where I am without me shaking the flashlight, I like to sit on the rock in the river dam the most, I like to look at the sky at that angle, I like the brightest star, he can know it clearly. Han Chen said to himself alone.
"On such a cold day, you came here alone to drink?" Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was clearly impatient.
"Look at the stars! You see, there are stars tonight, and we haven't seen the sky in a long, long time. Han Chen replied unhurriedly.
The water in the river in winter is still flowing slowly, and at this moment there are only two people on the river dam, Han Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao, she is also sitting on the cold stone, looking at the sky in the distance, the starry night sky, and she can hear her heartbeat quietly.
"Let's go. Go back!" Han Chen stood up from the ground and said.
But Lin Xiaoxiao didn't move for a long time, still sitting in place and looking at the sky, it turned out that at this time she realized that the night in this rural town was so beautiful.
Han Chen patted her hand and said, "Let's go, the weather is so cold, and I have so little to wear, I can't take care of it when I catch a cold." ”
"Hehe" Lin Xiaoxiao let out two abnormal sneers, making Han Chen on the side look a little surprised.
"What are you laughing at?" Han Chen asked.
"You're here because of Tranquility! I know she's always been an important person to your heart, but we're both getting engaged, could you please correct your attitude? Lin Xiaoxiao's words were mixed with a hint of crying.
Han Chen looked at her helplessly, he didn't deny or admit it, he just sighed deeply.
He knew that the girl in front of him was kind to him, and from the moment he left a year ago, he knew that he was going to face such a day.
He bent down, took her hand and said, "Let's go, I don't want those unhappy things, I have also thought a lot about this time, I know that you have paid a lot for my mother, and you have to change tricks to make him happy every day, this kindness, I Han Chen will always remember." ”
"Is it just kindness?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked a little reluctantly, maybe this is a common problem for girls, who like to chase after boys who like themselves.
This question made Han Chen a little overwhelmed, he didn't know how to answer her question, he didn't want to deceive her, and he was afraid that she would not accept such a fact.
He was silent for a moment, and one began to smoke a cigarette, and on a cold winter night, the two men on the dam, plus a cigarette that slowly burned out, became the loneliest species on the riverbank.
In the winter town, the green lights that were originally lit began to die out one by one, and it was also the dead of night at this time.
Han Chen's phone rang suddenly, he didn't need to look at it, he also knew that it was from home, and just when he was about to answer it, Lin Xiaoxiao snatched the phone in her hand and said to her mother with a smile: "We are playing in Heba, don't worry about us, you guys rest early." ”
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's happy tone, his mother hung up the phone very happily, thinking that the two children were finally developing in the direction she wanted, and felt more and more that all her ideas were right, but she didn't think that sometimes a relationship could not be forced.
"Thank you!" For Han Chen, in addition to what he could say to Lin Xiaoxiao, maybe there were only two words of thanks.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, nor did he refute, just took a regular deep breath, stood up and patted his body, turned around and walked home.
It's just that this also blurs everything about her, no one knows, in fact, she cried on this deep winter night.
The night of the country town is surprisingly quiet, less noisy city, less neon lights of the city, less bustling intersections of the city, no sound of people walking, no roar of car engines, no noise from the crowd, in such a realm, people are always so sober and sober.
It will not be like in a bustling city, living on the runway every day, starting from the early morning when you go out to squeeze the bus, you start the day of congestion.
Walking on the road in the dead of night, Lin Xiaoxiao's mind was flooded with memories, and pictures appeared in her mind like a movie.
On that night many years ago, on the quiet path of the river dam below the street, the dim street lamps stretched his shadow so long and long, as if covering the faint light on the white sneakers, she walked behind him and raised her head slightly, and the lights hit him, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, and she thought he was the brightest star in the night sky.
Since then, she has been silently liking this glowing boy, he is her dream in this life, everything she wants.
But many years later, she came to this place again, in the same late night, but it was not the feeling at that time, the innocence at that time, the dream at that time, and the decision made silently at that time, as if she had been lost with the years, I was still here, and you no longer knew where you were going.
