In late January, it was already the border between deep winter and early spring, but the cold was still unabated, especially today with a continuous light rain all day, like adding to the snow, making the day even colder and more wanton.

That night, I finally held back and didn't contact Han Yue to tell her the truth of the matter, because she knew it herself, and it was more useful than saying it from my mouth.

At work this day, in order to resist the clammy cold and biting cold wind, I had to wear the black scarf that Su Jing once gave me. My scarf, turtleneck, coat, all black, as if this is the perfect color for winter.

Sun Bowen wants to go back to his hometown in the northeast for the New Year, and he has made an appointment with Ye Han to take Ye Han home to meet his parents during the Spring Festival this year, so the two have already bought tickets to go home for the New Year, and asked for leave to return to their hometown in advance. I suddenly found that in the company, there was slowly a lot less fun, in the past, there were Han Yue, Wang Hao and them, but now...... Han Yue is still traveling abroad, and I don't know if what she sees at this time is the sunrise in Iceland, or the cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji in Japan, or maybe she is sipping coffee on a street in New York, USA...... The relationship between Wang Hao and me is also difficult to go back to the past, Sun Bowen and Ye Han also returned home, and other people in this company, I rarely take the initiative to contact, and I work in silence all day long.

A few more days passed, and February crept in.

It happened to be a Friday, and when I passed by the mall after work, I saw many people shopping and stocking up on New Year's goods. I also wanted to buy some New Year's goods for my family in advance, or buy myself a new set of clothes, but I was shy in my pocket, and the remaining more than 2,000 yuan made me "unable to move" in the city of Guangzhou.

After a short pause at the mall, I put my hands in my pockets and set out on my way back to the rental house. However, just as I was about to enter the subway station, suddenly the mobile phone in my pocket rang, it was a call from Wen Shuya, who had not been in touch for a while.

"Hey, Cheng Ting, are you going home for the New Year, or are you still in Guangzhou?" As soon as the phone was connected, Wen Shuya took the lead in opening her mouth. She seemed to be in a good mood, and even if she asked a question, she could hear that it was in a pleasant tone.

I replied, "I'm still in Guangzhou, I just got off work, what's wrong?" In order not to prevent others from entering the subway station, I leaned over to the edge outside the subway entrance.

"Since you're still in Guangzhou, let's come over and eat hot pot together. My girlfriend is here tonight, because I have to go back to Shanghai tomorrow for the Chinese New Year, and I want to meet everyone I want to see before I go back. ”

The phrase she said on the phone, "Go back to Shanghai for the New Year" is the focus of what I heard, and I found that it seems that I have been working for most of the year, and it seems that the people I know are basically rich people, either rich or expensive, and all of them have a very superior family background. Others say that "things gather by like, and people are divided by groups", am I an exception?

"Hey, Cheng Ting, can you hear me?" When I was silent, Wen Shuya thought I hadn't heard, and asked again.

I replied, "Oh, I hear, tell me where you are, and I'll take a ride later." ”

"Okay, we'll talk later. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Wenshuya wasn't that far from where I was, and I was at the location she sent me in about twenty minutes. If I didn't know her family background, I would have thought I had come to the wrong place, this is almost the most prosperous community in Zhujiang New Town!

Remembering that she just said that in addition to dating me, her best friend was also there, so I went up to eat empty-handed, which didn't seem to be suitable, so I bought a bottle of juice at a nearby convenience store, and then bought some fruit, and then went upstairs.

Upstairs, I rang the doorbell, and to my surprise, the person who opened the door for me was not Wen Shuya, but another girl. At a glance, this girl was wearing a solid-color Nike sweatshirt, plus a pair of black casual sweatpants, tied in a ponytail, and delicate facial features, she was an out-and-out temperament beauty.

Presumably this is the "best friend" that Wen Shuya mentioned on the phone. I smiled and nodded, greeting, "Hello." ”

"Hello, my name is Xu Qing, I'm Yaya's best friend, she's in the kitchen, so I'm here to open the door for you. She smiled too, and there were two pear vortices on her face, which was a very comfortable smile.

As soon as I entered the door, Wen Shuya happened to come out of the kitchen with two pots of washed dishes, she also saw me, and said, "Cheng Ting, you came so coincidentally, all the dishes have just been washed." ”

I put the fruit and juice on the table, smiled and replied, "yes, you should have called me sooner so I could help." ”

Wen Shuya smiled slyly and joked, "Then you will wash the dishes and chopsticks later." ”

"No problem. ”

"Let's go, eat, eat. ”

"Shu Ya, I didn't expect the house you rented to be so good, it's too luxurious. I pulled out a chair and sat down, joking to Wenshua, picking up a spoon and filling myself with a bowl of chicken soup that had already been boiled.

"Uh......" Wen Shuya hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "This house was bought by my father a few years ago, not rented......"

"Ahem, cough, cough!" I covered my mouth and coughed violently, "This soup is so hot, it's disturbing, it's disturbing ......"

After my embarrassment was revealed, Wen Shuya and Xu Qing smiled at each other, but did not continue the topic, and also served themselves a bowl of soup to drink.

Looking around at the 100-square-meter house, I sighed in my heart: "The happiness of rich people is unimaginable, because ...... That's really fun!!"

......

During the meal, Wen Shuya intentionally or unintentionally wanted to match me and her best friend, Xu Qing, but I didn't cater to Wen Shuya's approach, because I am not a person who finds a new love immediately after a breakup to forget the past, even though Xu Qing is a near-perfect woman in terms of education, family background, and figure and appearance.

After the meal, because Xu Qing's place was relatively far away from Wen Shuya's home, she didn't stay here for too long, and I was embarrassed to continue to take it at her house. After Wen Shuya and I saw Xu Qing away, she said that she wanted to walk with me and chat by the way.

"I haven't talked to you in a few days, how are you doing?" Wen Shuya asked, tending to the cuffs of her clothes, looking at me.

I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "That's it, but it's good that I'm a lot busier than I used to be, after all, effective busyness is the cure for all neuropathy." ”

"If you can think like this, then I am much more relieved, and it is natural for a man to focus on his career in his twenties. She deliberately accentuated her tone with the words "rest assured", as if she was emphasizing, probably because of what I said, and dispelled the idea of trying to match me and Xu Qing.

"Don't talk about that...... What time are your tickets for tomorrow? Why don't I deliver you?"

"The ticket for noon, don't need it, Qingqing (Xu Qing) will send me...... I have to go back, Cheng Ting, when I come back after the Spring Festival, I hope to see a new you. She smiled and looked at me expectantly.

I nodded and replied, "That's a must, and so are you!"

Leaving where Wenshuya lived, I caught the last subway and was soon back near my accommodation. Walking under the street lamp, the lonely shadow on the ground was stretched slender, and the "strange mood" unique to the middle of the night sneaked out from the depths of my heart. I remembered a popular saying on the Internet, "It's very windy in this city, and lonely people always come home late." I pulled up the neckline of my sweater, lowered my head slightly and walked on.

When I got to the rental house, I just wanted to take out the key to open the door, the ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence of the night, and now it was twelve o'clock at night, I didn't expect it to be a call from Lao Cheng.

Picking up the phone, I asked suspiciously, "Dad, why haven't you slept so late?" I pulled out my key to open the door while holding my phone between my shoulders with my head sideways.

"Tonight, I had dinner with your mother and a few old classmates and sang K, so I came back late, and I remembered that you hadn't called home for a few days, so I called you. Lao Cheng's tone of voice was still not emotional, and his voice was calm.

"Oh, I've been busy with work lately, and it's the end of the year......" Before I finished speaking, I heard Lao Liu's voice on the phone, as if he wanted Lao Cheng to give her the phone.

"Well, it's good to be busy at work, it's better than doing nothing...... Your mother wants to talk to you, let's talk. ”

After Lao Cheng finished speaking, he handed the mobile phone to Lao Liu, and Lao Liu's clear voice immediately came from the phone: "Ah Ting, when will you come back from annual leave?"

I calculated the time in my heart and replied, "It's almost, and we will have a holiday next week." ”

"What about Su Jing, you should go home together for the New Year, right?"

In the depths of the night, her name was mentioned again, and it was like a needle pricked in her heart......
