Twilight is falling, and neon is rising. On the streets, in restaurants, cinemas, and department stores, all kinds of people are looking for their own way to relax after work. Make an appointment with three or two friends, find a familiar restaurant, order a few favorite dishes, and then ice a few bottles of beer, talk about your current life, future plans, and of course, the most indispensable thing in the topic is the reminiscence of the past. This is probably the least mind-blowing way to relax.

There was a lot of food left on the table, but it was full of empty beer bottles, and the red wine that had been awake for a long time was forgotten in the corner of the table. Both of them at the table drooped their heads, obviously drunk.

"I'll tell you everything you need to say, you listened... Not angry... Meng Yao bared her tongue, straightened up, and pressed her back tightly against the chair.

Zhang Zhang looked at her with a flushed face, not knowing what to say. Yes, it was not pleasant, but he always thought that too much meddling in other people's affairs might lead them off the right track.

"Do you know what makes me more uncomfortable?" Meng Yao leaned forward and struggled to prop up her chin with her hands.

"You say. Zhang Li looked at her helplessly, but his eyes were full of affection.

"What I feel most uncomfortable about is that I can't persuade her to give up", Meng Yao cried in her tone, "For so many years, she has kept the mobile phone number of the couple they did together when they were in love and the doll he gave him." Once, I helped her apply for an email account and found that she was searching for his name every day, looking at his past Weibo and QQ, and had been following his status. After so many years, thinking of what his mother said and done, I even wanted to empty my memory of that day. As for the name Feng Tuo, I kept silent. But I knew that even if I didn't mention it, she would still miss him. ”

Zhang Zhang took out a tissue and handed it to Meng Yao, listening to her patiently.

"In my heart, Feng Tuo is not worthy of her at all. Meng Yao's eyes were red, and she looked straight at Zhang Li.

"The past... Perhaps, but now—" Zhang Li whispered as he raised his glass.

"Whether it's in the past or now, he just doesn't deserve it!" Meng Yao said angrily, but her tone weakened in the next second, "She is my friend who has been playing since I was a child, and she is like a family to me." She was very well-behaved when I was a child, and was often taken out by my grandmother to educate me. At that time, my parents were busy with work and were often away from home, and I cried and shouted for my parents every day. Grandma will say, you see the little Nuoduo next door, dad never cries or makes trouble when he is not at home, and she doesn't have a mother yet. At that time, I thought she was very different. ”

Meng Yao smiled when she said this, "Do you know? When I grew up, I asked her why she hadn't seen you cry since she was a child." Do you know how she answered? She said, how could she not cry when she was a child. It's just hiding behind people and not letting people see it. She is like this, she looks strong and sensible on the outside, but in fact, she is as soft-hearted as a piece of tofu. Meng Yao's tears couldn't stop falling.

"She's actually very insecure, we have such a good relationship, I give her a small gift, and in two days she will give me back, and it's definitely more expensive than what I gave her. She's like that, no matter how close she is, she has to keep a proper distance, and I know she's just worried that she can't afford to be treated well by others. ”

At this time, Zhang Li's mobile phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, as expected. However, he glanced at Meng Yao, perhaps in her opinion, it was unreasonable.

"If you haven't booked a ticket yet, what are you waiting for? Didn't you say that Feng Tuo could be over at any time, and he was not afraid of delays", Meng Yao picked up the bottle and shook it, "I still know her, maybe she has been waiting for this day for the past ten years." ”

"I'm really going to book a ticket, and hearing you say so much, I feel very uncomfortable. Zhang Zhang shook his head as he spoke, opened the webpage, and looked up the nearest flights.

"Hmph!" Meng Yao looked at the tension that had not placed the order for a long time, and then said, "Maybe we all think too badly, in case his mother is going to die, he suddenly wants to open it, and he may want to reconcile with Linuo." Let's think better, maybe we can feel better. ”

Zhang Zhang looked at her helplessly, "How can you change your face faster than the sky, didn't you just get angry and didn't want her to go, why did you relax after a while?"

"Otherwise, I can still tie her up?" Meng Yao knocked him twice with chopsticks, "Maybe they wanted to be together in their previous lives, and they couldn't die well." In this life, it will be entangled, maybe this is fate. ”

"Phew, it's fate, the two of them are simply hurting each other!" said Zhang Li.

"Hahaha... You're right. Meng Yao clutched her stomach and laughed, "The two of them are really messy, they are sorrowful, don't have a taste in their hearts." ”

"Okay, I booked a flight to country A in the early morning, and I've already sent the message to Linuo. Now, I'll take you home, and then I'll go back and pack my things and pick her up for the airport. Zhang Zhang waved at the waiter next to him as he spoke, and then handed over a card.

Back in the dormitory, Linuo was in a much better mood. She took off her coat, took out her bag from the cabinet, and simply stuffed a few clothes, thinking about whether to remove her makeup, when she received a reply from Zhang Li. Well... It seems that there is no need to unload, and after thinking about it, I realized that it had to be done for ten hours. Belch... I'm still going to remove my makeup, I don't want to be funny. Since you have plenty of time, just take a shower.

Half an hour later, Linuo wiped his hair and walked out of the bathroom, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and saw the voice sent by Meng Yao.

"Honey, remember to call me if you have something. ”

"If that woman dares to bully you again, I will immediately fly to country A, pull out her oxygen tube, and let her return to the west as soon as possible!"

When Linuo listened, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

"Listen to your voice, drink too much with tension?"

"Hurry up and go to sleep, wait for me to come back, it will be fine." ”

One night later, Zhang Li carried Linuo's bag, and the two walked out of the airport quickly.

"Zhang Li!" Feng Yun learned that Zhang Zhang would bring Nuo over, so he asked Ying to wait at the airport early in the morning, waiting left and right, and finally saw them come out.

"Go, the person who picked us up has arrived. Zhang Zhang turned his head and pointed to the man with teeth and claws in the distance, "That's Feng Tuo's cousin, Feng Yun." Don't look at her as a little girl, she can now run a company. ”

Linuo nodded, she knew the name Feng Yun, the last oolong phone call, and the name she called her, she still remembered it vividly.

"Looking at you like this, Auntie's health should not be as bad as she imagined. Zhang Li quipped.

"Today is quite stable, and it is considered to be past the danger period. However, her condition is so serious that she could be pushed into the emergency room at any moment. Feng Yun said lightly, but some red eyes still betrayed her.

"Alas, look at me, patronizing and talking to you! Let me introduce, this is Linuo. Zhang Li put the luggage into the trunk, saw Linuo clasping his fingers a little stiffly, and hurriedly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, it turns out that you are so good-looking, and your skin is as tender as tofu. Feng Yun was about to get started as he spoke, and he hurriedly took a step back.

Zhang Li stepped forward and glared at Feng Yun, "Let's go, hurry up and go to the hospital." ”

"Oh. Feng Yun pouted in disappointment, and then looked at Linuo with a sincere face, "That... Sister-in-law, sit in the front, okay? I always hear my brother mention you, and I am a little excited to finally see the real person. I apologize if I scared you just now. ”

"No need to apologize, I'm just a little scared, I'm not used to getting too close to strangers", Linuo bit his lip and sat in the car, "and... My name is Linuo, this name was given by my parents, please change the title, thank you. ”

Feng Yun was just about to start the car, when he heard Linuo say this, he glanced at the tension in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She seemed to be a little different from what her brother said, Feng Yun Suri was a little puzzled, but she hurriedly agreed.

"I see. ”

In the car, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and came to the hospital all the way unimpeded. Linuo recognized Feng Tuo who was guarding the door of the ward at a glance, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, he had been subjected to a circle, his face was haggard, and he didn't sleep much.

Feng Tuo saw the three people in the distance walking towards him, and hurriedly straightened his clothes.

"Thank you for coming. Feng Tuo looked at her, and finally spit out a decent sentence for a long time. He really didn't know what to say, and he had been worrying all night about what would happen if she didn't come. But when she did come, he didn't know what to say.

When he said this, it seemed that he already knew the truth of the matter, and Linuo's eyes flickered as he thought about it. For ten years, I've been imagining how he would react when he knew the truth. But among the many answers, I didn't expect him to behave like this after all. The sourness welled up in my heart, leaving the promise, leaving the promise, how can there be an echo if I don't forget it. Never forget, after all, there is a time limit. She didn't say anything, just nodded at him.

Zhang Zhang and Feng Yun stared at each other, feeling the embarrassment in the air, and they didn't know what to say. At this time, Anya's shouts came from the ward.

"Tuo'er, is Xiaoyun going out? I want to go to the bathroom, you can help me call the nurse. ”

Feng Tuo and Feng Yun were just about to step forward, but they walked in one step ahead of Nuo, and the other three hurriedly followed. She walked straight to Anya's hospital bed and naturally took her hand. Anya was stunned and motionless the moment she saw Linuo.

"Auntie, aren't you going to the bathroom?" Linuo asked softly, "What's the matter, didn't you say you wanted to see me and let me come?"

Feng Tuo and the others listened to her words, and their hearts tightened.

"Sister-in-law... Sister Linuo, let me go. Feng Yun said and hurriedly came to the other side of the hospital bed, "Auntie, I've come back, I'll take you there." ”

"Yes, yes, let's let Feng Yun and me come!" Zhang Zhang agreed, then squeezed Linuo aside, and helped Anya out with Feng Yun. Passing by Feng Tuo, I didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder.

In an instant, there were only two people left in the ward, Linuo and Feng Tuo.

"Do you have anything to drink?" Lino was the first to break the silence in the ward, turning his back to him, looking out at the clear blue sky through the window, thinking that he had to be calm enough to win the victory, "I've been on the plane for so long, and I'm a little thirsty." ”

"Ao..."Feng Tuo hurriedly looked around after hearing this, and found that there was only mineral water left, "You like to drink coffee, I'll buy it for you now." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, don't you have mineral water, I can drink this. Lino said and walked over to him, took the mineral water on the table, and found that he had kept his head down, and had not looked at her from beginning to end, "Can you open it for me?"

Feng Tuo raised his head, took the water bottle, opened it, and handed it over.

"Do you remember the question you asked me after we reunited?" Lino didn't rush to drink water, but sat down in a chair not far from him, holding the water bottle in both hands, "Now you know the answer?"

"I'm sorry...... I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. ”

"That's what you're trying to say?" Linuo instantly became sad, "You know what happened, and the first thing that comes to mind is this. She looked straight at him, trying to hear something from his mouth, but after a few minutes, he didn't say a word.

"It seems that I am self-inflicted. She said as she walked towards the door.

"Linuo..."Feng Tuo hurriedly grabbed her.

"Mr. Feng, don't worry, since I'm here, I have to listen to it, what will my aunt say to me in ten years!" Linuo sneered, and then motioned for him to let go, "I don't think it's a cliché, after all, for you, my identity has long changed, right?"

"Can you ...... Don't be like this, my mind is very messy now, wait for me to take a look, and then..." Feng Tuo is really anxious, after all, her current appearance is very strange, and the strangeness makes him a little scared.

Linuo didn't give him a chance to speak, and looked at the three people who came in at the door.

"Zhang Li, you can book a ticket for me, I want the earliest one. ”

"No, I've just arrived, why do you have to leave?" Zhang Zhang hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the expression on Feng Tuo's face, and instantly understood that it seemed that the conversation had collapsed, "Linuo, you see that you just came here today, let's take it slowly, can you leave early tomorrow morning?"

Feng Yun helped Anya to the bed and came to Linuo's side.

"Sister-in-law..."Linuo looked at her with sharp eyes, Feng Yun hurriedly changed his words, "Sister Linuo... I know you're angry. My brother has always been stupid, so don't bother with him. Now he hasn't figured it out himself, what he said must be just a brain, you..."

"You all go out and let me talk to her alone. Anya interrupted them, then beckoned to Linuo, "Linuo, you come and sit down with me, I have something to say to you." ”

"Didn't you hear, get out!" Anya looked at the motionless trio and raised her voice to yell at them.

"Mom, you..."

"Don't worry, I have a plan in my heart, go out. After watching them go out, Anya looked at Linuo, "You sit closer." ”

Looking at her gray hair, and the swollen back of her hand because of the hanging bottle, Linuo's firm heart began to waver, and he moved his chair towards her.

"Tell Auntie, do you blame me?" Anya pulled Linuo's hand, and the latter tugged twice before giving up, "I hope you blame me, but you don't say it." Because of this, I should feel better. ”

"Auntie, don't say that. I know you're doing it for Feng Tuo's good, but..."

"But what, you say. ”

"I can understand you, but as you say, I do resent you. Especially in the first year of breaking up with him, I will think of him for 360 days out of 365 days, and when I think of him, I will naturally think of you, and what you have said and done to me. Although I have only been close to you for a few days, you have left a deeper imprint on me than anyone else. Linuo slowly spoke to Anya the words that had been piled up in his heart for many years.

Anya looked at her distressedly, and at the same time reached out to help her cut her hair, "The reason why Auntie asked you to come over is to sincerely apologize to you." ”

Hearing her say this, Linuo hurriedly raised his head, "What did you say, you called me here just to apologize?"

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry to you, I did something wrong back then. Anya glanced at Linuo and nodded, "Otherwise, what do you think I called you over for?"

"Auntie, I..." Li Nuo clasped his fingers and said a little funny, "I thought you asked me to come this time to warn me and let me stay away from Feng Tuo..."

"What kind of person do I think I am. Anya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "I know you're a good boy, you knew it ten years ago." It's just that at that time, I was hit by his father's affairs. This is my heart disease, and if it is not solved, I will not be at ease when I die. ”

"Auntie..."Anya just wanted to say something, Anya patted her hand, "You listen to Auntie's words." ”

At the same time, Feng Tuo wanted to go out directly, but Feng Yun and Zhang Zhang pulled him back, and the three of them stopped tacitly, Zhang Li and Feng Yun glanced at each other with a wicked smile, and then took a few steps on the spot and closed the door.

Feng Tuo naturally wanted to know what they were talking about, so he didn't stop him. In this way, the three of them stopped at the corner not far from the hospital bed and listened quietly to the conversation inside.

"I know that in the past ten years, Feng Tuo has never forgotten you. He would often stare at the old Nokia, which I knew you bought with him, and the number was also the couple number you did together. The more he can't let go of you, the more uncomfortable I feel. Anya said with an apologetic face, "In the first few years, I also arranged a blind date for him. He agreed very happily, but every time he asked his brother to go for him. After making trouble like this a few times, I also gave up the idea of letting him go on a blind date. ”

Hearing this, Feng Yun couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, Zhang Zhang stared at Feng Tuo with a resentful expression, and Feng Tuo spread his hands on the side to say that it didn't matter.

"Do you have a boyfriend now?" asked Anya.

"Not yet. Lino said and shook his head.

"It's good if you don't have it. Auntie said so much, just to ask you. It's been ten years, do you still have him in your heart, do you still love him?" Anya stared at Linuo with shining eyes, looking forward to her answer, of course, not only Anya, but also Feng Tuo, Feng Yun and Zhang Li, who were eavesdropping not far away.

Linuo looked at Anya, not knowing how to answer for a while. But she knew that the answer was yes, but she was still hesitating, hesitating to stand with him again, shoulder to shoulder.

Ten years ago, Feng Tuo took ninety-nine steps towards her, she took a step forward, and then the two of them began to date. But ten years later, the distance between them was more than a hundred steps, and she didn't even have the courage to lift her feet. Love is naturally love, otherwise it wouldn't be so long. But in ten years, she has changed too much, and after a long time, it is not easy to rush out again.

"Could it be that I'm mistaken, you haven't been in love for so long, aren't you waiting for our family Tuo'er?"

Linuo didn't speak, looked at the cute old lady in front of him, and grinned. Then he took the wallet, took out the phone card that he had treasured for ten years, and held it in front of Anya with both hands.

Anya smiled instantly, tears flowed down, opened her arms, carefully dodged the hanging needle on the side, and gave her a big hug.

"Thank you, Auntie. ”

"No, it should be me who thank you, thank you for coming, and thank you for accepting my apology. Anya reached out and touched Linuo's head, smiling all over her face, leaning into her ear and saying, "I'm relieved to put Tuo'er in your hands." ”

Just this sentence instantly made Linuo burst into tears.
