On the National Highway around the city, Gu Zhanqiao drove at full speed on the highway, and the cold wind and snowflakes poured into the carriage, whirring and slapping on the face.

The voice of the radio was faintly visible in the whirring of the cold wind, and this radio station was still twisted away when she was waiting for her downstairs just now.

Gu Zhanqiao still remembers the scene when he first heard a voice on this radio station.

It was half a year after he returned to China, on the way back to City A from Ancheng, because the search was fruitless, and the boat was tired, he fell asleep in the car, when he approached City A, he woke up in a daze, only to feel a turbidity in his heart, so he asked the driver Master Wang to put some songs casually to soothe his emotions, Master Wang didn't know what song was more appropriate, so he turned on a radio station at will.

After a noisy advertisement.

A voice rushed into his eardrums, he was excited, and the hairs on his body instinctively stood up, "Hollow, hello everyone, this is Lime Radio, I am the anchor Xiao Yi, the size is small, the beginning of Yi, every night from half past eight to half past eleven, Xiao Yi is here to accompany everyone to welcome a new beginning." ”

It was a three-hour song show, and that day, he heard from beginning to end.

When he arrived in City A, when he arrived home, and how he let Master Wang go, Gu Zhanqiao didn't remember, he only knew that he had been sitting in the car for a long, long time, and it was only after the east that the fish belly turned white that he came back to his senses, opened the car door, called the assistant, and then went back to the room and fell asleep deeply, that was the most solid sleep he had in eight years.

Since then, he has not been absent from half past eight to half past eleven every night, even if he goes on a business trip abroad, he will listen to the playback in the app, which has almost become his habit.

Half a year ago, the anchor changed, but it doesn't matter, he has successfully found her anyway.

Somehow, even if he knew that the current anchor was no longer her, even if he knew her current work and place of residence, Gu Zhanqiao still habitually turned the radio at this point.

When the car drove to the outskirts, the snow seemed to be a little lighter than just now, Gu Zhanqiao closed the window, and the sound of the radio became clear again.

"Listeners, Lime Radio is coming to an end today, and the last song of the day, Rabbit wants to leave it to his former colleague Xiao Yi, because today is her birthday, here, on behalf of all colleagues of Lime Radio, I wish our dear former anchor Xiao Yi a happy birthday. Xiaoyi, have you listened to it? A song you used to listen to most often "Say Scatter" is sent to you, I wish you a smooth love and eternal happiness in the coming days. ”

After a second of silence, the sound of the piano began to rotate in a low manner in the car, followed by Yuan Yawei's low and hoarse voice:

"Hug it

It's as if we've never been together again

good no good

It's too late to explain

Forget it

It doesn't matter what I've paid

I ignore myself just because I met you..."

Gu Zhanqiao listened steadily, his eyes continued to stare at the road ahead, and a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eye unconsciously and fell to the steering wheel.

The heart was like a hole being torn out, and the cold wind poured in unscrupulously, getting colder and colder.

He braked sharply, and the car came to a stop on the side of the road.

Yi Xinnong didn't know how she got home, she was frozen, and her thinking was frozen.

The room was terriblely quiet, terriblely dark, she reached for the light, pressed it a few times but it didn't come on, oh yes, the light in the hallway was broken the other day.

She took out her mobile phone to illuminate it, but when she turned it on, she saw several missed calls, and WeChat messages popped up one by one:

"Sister, it's a year older. "It's my brother.

"Happy birthday, I'm dripping. "Yes, it is still a good friend of Liu Jie'er, who is studying anthropology in the UK.

"Teacher Yi, I wish you a happy birthday"

"I wish Mr. Yi a quick new year to find a boyfriend"

"Teacher Zhu Yi is getting more and more beautiful"

"Make a birthday wish for Teacher Yi, and assign less homework to the children~"

······

The class group blew up.

The last one turned out to be from the rabbit: "Xiaoyi, happy birthday, thank you for helping me in Lime, there is a surprise today, remember to listen to the radio on time." ”

Yi Xinong was stunned for a moment, calculating, she had resigned from Lime for half a year, but she didn't expect that the rabbit who later took over her anchor position still remembered her birthday, after all, even she forgot about this birthday.

On a chaotic day, without looking at the mobile phone, Yi Xinnong swiped the screen and clicked on the Himalayan radio.

Lime Radio is on the homepage, after all, from the beginning of her junior year to half a year ago, for nearly four years, she has to open this interface every night to meet with listeners.

Being a radio anchor has been her romantic wish since junior high school, when the mobile phone was not so developed when she was a child, her parents did not allow her to watch TV, she relied on the radio left by her grandfather at home to listen to music and listen to novels.

For the first time in her life, she received a birthday wish, and she was also ordered a song by someone else.

A chance conversation in the junior year, she was lucky to take over this part-time job from the senior sister, she really cherished, a job for nearly four years, she broadcast on time every day, until half a year ago the school required her to be the head teacher of the 13th class, every day was too busy and tired, and the voice was frequently dumb because of overuse, so she resigned from the radio.

She clicked in, it was Yuan Yawei's voice, she hadn't listened to Yuan Yawei for a long time, and the low and lazy voice seemed even more empty in the dark room:

"I can't say that love is lied to

Just like it a little

I can't say that I hate don't get entangled

was pretended to sigh. ”

Yi Xinnong was stunned, why is this one?

In an instant, the tears seemed to have a soul, and the moment they heard the song, they poured down like a waterfall.

The heart also sank little by little, sinking downward, as if sinking into the unfathomable depths of the sea.

Then the pain began to spread little by little, first to the heart, then to the chest, abdomen, and limbs, and she felt that her knees were weak and could not support her, so she squatted down along the door.

The song grabbed her throat and she couldn't breathe.

Yuan Yawei continued to sing cruelly:

"I tried to find answers

The answer is simple

All of a sudden, we scattered. ”

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly at midnight when the first snow was falling.

It's been ten years, and she has never shed a tear for him, but now, just today, in the atmosphere of this song, she can't help it anymore, and her emotions are broken.

Everything is too chaotic, too chaotic.

Ever since she went to get the contract and met him that day, her mind had never been clear.

Too many questions flooded her head.

When did he return to China, when did he work for Longsheng, and why did he go to get the contract that day.

Why is it downstairs in her house today? She couldn't figure it out.

His head was as heavy as lead, and every breath tugged at the nerves in front of his forehead.

The pain and grogginess reminded her of the noon time she first met him, when she was so distraught by the noise that she almost tripped over a book in front of the teacher's office.

Today, in the cold midnight of early winter, the snow made everything quiet and only her heart beat left, and she almost tripped over it while running.

Yi Xinnong felt that all his reason and emotions had collapsed.

Gu Zhanqiao, why did you appear again?

Leave me alone, count me in begging you.

Gu Xiaomeng heard the door knock, quickly hid the phone under the pillow, shrank her head, quickly got into the quilt, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

She felt a gentle footstep approaching, and then the horn was gently tucked, and there was no sound.

Feeling strange, she stuck her head out of the quilt and opened her eyes.

Gu Zhanqiao was looking at her gently.

"Brother~ Are you back?" Gu Xiaomeng opened her eyes pretending to be sleepy.

"Hmm. You're playing on your phone so late again?"

"Hey, hey, hey" Gu Xiaomeng shrunk her neck and smiled embarrassedly, it seemed that she couldn't escape the eyes of this adult, "I just want to wait for you." ”

"It's all said to let you have a good rest. Did you eat well?" Gu Zhanqiao asked with concern.

"Well, Mama Liu's craftsmanship has not regressed at all, Bangbang chicken, boiled pork slices, spicy rabbit head, steamed pork, roasted white, all are amazing, I was really raised by her Sichuan stomach, and she also made me cold shrimp, God knows how much I miss the taste of brown sugar. Gu Xiaomeng sat up excitedly, it had been three years since she last lived in China, and she missed this spicy fragrance so much.

The bedside light hit Gu Zhanqiao's side face, he listened very carefully, and the shadow of his eyelashes hit the bridge of his tall nose, like an oil painting.

But Gu Xiaomeng paused as she spoke, she stared at Gu Zhanqiao's face, "Brother, why do you look so haggard, have you had dinner?" I heard Liu's mother say that she didn't let her take care of you because you returned to China, you let her come over when I came back, so did you live alone and eat well?"

"Well, I'm fine. ”

"Really?" Gu Xiaomeng looked at Gu Zhanqiao, only to feel that his face was covered with a layer of gray exhaustion.

Gu Xiaomeng didn't know how to resolve her brother's indescribable melancholy for a while, her eyes rolled and she changed the topic, "Brother, have you contacted my new school?"

Gu Zhanqiao was very surprised when he heard her words, and then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, pinching her face, "The sun is coming out in the west, and the little girl is beginning to care about learning." ”

Gu Xiaomeng saw that Gu Zhanqiao's face brightened, and she was overjoyed, and then said mischievously, "No, I can't wait to see the handsome guys in the new school." ”

Gu Zhanqiao patted her on the head, "What have you been thinking about all day", and then said helplessly, "I will ask my assistant to take you to the new school to report next Monday." ”

"Hmph, it's either Master Wang, or Mother Liu, or your assistant, can't you accompany me personally?" Gu Xiaomeng pouted unhappily when she heard this.

"I heard from my assistant that there are a lot of handsome guys in that school, and there is also a class with child stars~" Gu Zhanqiao's tone was also lively.

When Gu Xiaomeng heard this, her eyes lit up, she was very excited, and she shook Gu Zhanqiao's arm and said, "Yes, is it? Which child star? Which child star?"

"You'll have to ask my assistant about that, you know, I never cared about that. ”

Gu Xiaomeng pursed her lips and said disappointedly, "Okay, okay, your old man is the least cannibalistic, you have to ask your assistant to pick me up early that Monday, I want to inquire carefully." ”

"Ghost girl. Gu Zhanqiao knocked on Gu Xiaomeng's head, "Go to bed early, I will forget your brother when I hear the handsome guy." ”

Gu Xiaomeng smiled sweetly at Gu Zhanqiao, and made a grimace again, the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was shallow, full of happiness.

Gu Zhanqiao was flustered, pear vortex, he hadn't seen it on that person's face for a long time, so he turned off the bedside lamp, said goodnight to his sister, and gently closed the door.

Back in the room, Gu Zhanqiao loosened his tie, as if unloading all his tiredness, and collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes.

There was a soft knock on the door, "Young master, the bath water has been put away." "It's Mother Liu outside the door.

"Okay", Gu Zhanqiao replied with his eyes closed, there was a quiet outside, and he continued, "Aunt Liu, don't be busy, it's not early, and rest early." ”。

Liu's mother stood outside the door, tried a few times, and finally held back, she originally wanted to say that there are cooked noodles in the kitchen, remember to eat and then sleep.

But the words didn't go on, since the young master entered the door just now, she found that his mood was not right, she had been taking care of Gu Zhanqiao since he was five years old, more than ten years, what kind of heart the young master has, she knows best.

So he sighed softly, shook his head, and walked downstairs.

It was completely quiet outside, Gu Zhanqiao pinched his eyebrows, opened the mobile phone next to him, it was already twelve o'clock, except for the new project report text message from Jianyu's side, there was no special news, and the Longsheng work group was also quiet.

He then swiped his phone and opened a contacts book in a hidden interface, and there was only one phone named "Huya Pear Vortex" in the entire directory, and he stared at the interface for a few seconds.

After a long time, he raised his hand, slowly typed a few words in the text message bar, and closed the phone again.

"Happy birthday. ”
