Chapter 5: The Wind at Night
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. Lin Jiaming has become familiar with the company's various processes, and his work is gradually on the right track, and he is also used to living in that dusty demolition village where it is difficult to buy daily necessities.
This month, he bought a second-hand Xiaoice box to store some vegetables and fruits and some quick-frozen dumplings and other foods. Bought an electric heating pot. After all, the company does not provide meals in the afternoons and on weekends. I also took some time to rearrange the room, bought a cheap second-hand desk and a stool, and picked up some favorite books in the second-hand bookstore to pass the boring weekend.
Lin Jiaming doesn't seem to be a young person of this era. He doesn't play games, he hardly stays up late, he is obsessed with Cangyang Gyatso, and he is obsessed with Keigo Higashino. If you don't read books, you will also use carefully selected cumbers to practice a few pages of European characters, and the unique ink fragrance is the Canaan who makes him quiet and calm in this impetuous world.
"How can you have the perfect law in the world, and live up to it!" This love poem from the most beautiful lover of the 17th century, Cangyang Gyatso, is still praised by people today. Lin Jiaming likes this poem, not because he has the same experience, but because he feels that living up to his own heart in the world is the most important thing. The heart is to love Qing, even if the Dharma is vast and the precepts are added, it cannot trap the heart's desire. This has also become his pursuit since then, and that's why he met her who took her as his life. Of course, this is all for later, and he is still a confused person wandering at the crossroads of life.
"Although the road so far has not been easy, the thought that it is because I am alive that I have the opportunity to feel the pain has successfully overcome all kinds of suffering. Keigo Higashino - "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" Lin Jiaming solemnly wrote down this sentence in his diary. He had a habit of keeping a diary, which he used to write in books, but then he gradually became very fond of books, so he copied them in his notebook, and then wrote them in his diary.
"Even though I am a little confused now, I believe that as long as I move and get busy, I will gradually get out of the predicament, and at that time it must be the clouds and fog dissipating, and the garden will be full of fragrance!" Lin Jiaming closed the diary and glanced out the window. It was almost dusk, and the burning clouds on the horizon were particularly red, and in the gaps of the burning clouds, the sunset sprinkled pillars of light, supporting the last pride of summer.
"Ding~" Lin Jiaming's mobile phone text message reminded him, shifting his gaze from the pillar of light to the mobile phone screen.
"Are you okay?" was an unfamiliar number. Try to dial it out, and belong to the reality of G City.
"I'm fine!What about you?" "Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay!" ...... I tried multiple responses, but in the end, none of them were sent.
"Ding~"
"Excuse me!" is still that number.
Staring at the three words on the screen, Lin Jiaming seemed to have figured it out. He calmly deleted the text messages, locked the screen, put the notebook and the "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" on the foot of his desk, poured himself a glass of boiling water, and hung it in the middle of the desk.
Changing into sportswear and putting on headphones, Lin Jiaming went out. Today is the time for his planned 10-kilometer jog. Since college, he has set himself a goal of at least 20 kilometers a week. After graduating, this goal changed to 40 kilometers per week, so I had a plan to 10 kilometers every other day. He likes to think about some things in the process of long-distance running, and he also likes to look at himself in the mirror after running.
The place to run is a sports park near the company. The village where Lin Jiaming lives is the last area in this area that has not been developed, and I heard that it has been delayed because several families have not signed the demolition compensation agreement, but this has little to do with Lin Jiaming.
On both sides of the gate of the sports park, there are two rows of ginkgo trees, and it can already be seen that the ginkgo leaves are a little yellowish. Entering from the gate of the sports park, on the left hand side is a table tennis area that can accommodate 10 groups of people playing table tennis at the same time, and on the right side is a fitness equipment field. Further ahead, there is a rectangular central square, surrounded by a 400-meter runway, which is where Lin Jiaming sweats after work. The central plaza is generally used to set up a stage and hold events. Usually occupied by the aunts in the neighborhood to dance.。 Walk through the central plaza with four full-size basketball courts in the back. Most of the people who come here to play are young people from nearby companies. Behind the basketball court, there is a fenced-off football field. If you want to go in and play football, it seems that you have to find a staff to open the door, which is a paid area. Between each area, it is divided by a thick locust tree.
Lin Jiaming prepared for the event, so he put on headphones and went to the runway, immersed in his own world. The sun had sunk behind the mountains on the edge of the city, and only a few parallel pillars of light hit half of the black, fiery clouds. The stereo in the square has begun to play the song of the legend of the phoenix; a few children are running back and forth among the locust trees with water guns, making noise; a few old people wearing gloves and spinning the discs on the fitness equipment; people on the basketball court are still directing the attack, not bothering to wipe the sweat from their faces......
After running for a few kilometers, Lin Jiaming's sweat had soaked his clothes, but today he seemed to feel a little strange, he always felt that someone had been shaking in front of him, but there were many people running, and he wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, so he didn't care.
In the end, it was the end of summer, and in the evening, there was no longer the heat of noon. Occasionally, a gust of evening breeze hits, which only makes people feel much lighter, and every hair on their body is swaying gently. Lin Jiaming finished running, packed up his equipment, the kettle he brought was already empty, and he was about to go out to buy a bottle of mineral water, when he handed over a bottle with one hand.
Lin Jiaming raised his head and was stunned. It seems that this face, where has I seen it, but I can't remember it. Looking at her outfit, she should have just finished running, did she say hello before? However, in the past month, he hasn't crossed paths with anyone here?
"Do you want me to keep it like this?" the girl spoke first.
"Thank you, drink it yourself, I have it myself!" After speaking, Lin Jiaming took out his own kettle.
"I saw it all, and on the last lap, you opened the kettle to drink, and there should be no water in your kettle!" the strange girl continued. "Take it, you're welcome. Let's get to know each other!"
"Thank you, I really don't need to!" Lin Jiaming got up and was about to walk to the door. "I'll go first! goodbye. ”
"I bet, you don't know me!" The strange girl's words made Lin Jiaming a little baffled. Of course I don't know it.
"I bet you'll get to know me right away!" If you want to get someone to remember quickly, it's a good way to hang their appetite.
"No need!"
"I'm Xiaojie's friend!
Lin Jiaming froze in place. He remembered the night at the bar, and he left in a hurry, and there was indeed a girl next to him. I also remembered that someone added him to WeChat later, and he refused. He was also a stranger, and he thought that he would not have an intersection with her. He never imagined that he would meet her again in this situation.
"Well, I'll just think of you. Now, here's a bottle of water for you!"
Lin Jiaming took the water and was speechless for a while. And Ou Cheng took out her mobile phone in a chic way, unlocked the screen, and it was directly the QR code page of WeChat and friends, and she had already planned it together!
"That's right! Then, see you next time!" Ou Cheng turned around in a dashing manner, and the cool figure disappeared into the hazy night, leaving Lin Jiaming alone in the night breeze stunned.
