Lingbei City, Xilingdu.

Under the scorching sun, even the cicadas are soft.

A man and a woman are talking about a breakup in a coffee shop.

"Riwa, I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore, let's break up. The well-dressed man had some guilt on his face, but the woman didn't seem to be sad, she only frowned slightly when she heard this, and sighed: "Since you don't love anymore, it's also a helpless thing, I wish you happiness." ”

After speaking, she looked at the watch on her wrist, "I'm sorry, I'm working the night shift tonight, and the time is almost up, so I won't talk much." ”

The woman pulled up her sleeves and stood up, but the man couldn't bear it anymore and immediately stopped her: "Lou Lihe!

The woman looked at the man suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

The man smiled bitterly, reached out and took out a ring from his pocket, took a deep look, held it up and put it in front of the woman's eyes, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you know, just now... As long as you have the slightest idea of retention, I will propose to you right away. ”

A wave of disgust welled up in the woman's heart, her beautiful red lips pursed, and her voice became sharp, "You test me?"

The man knew that what he had done was not open, but he did not apologize, but said calmly, "Yes, I tested you, but have you ever thought about why I want to test you?" The man held the ring up, "I bought this ring half a year ago, but I have been hesitating." ”

The man saw that there was no trace of regret on the woman's beautiful face, and the bitterness in his heart became more and more serious, he put the ring on the table and stared at Lou Lihe: "We have been dating for a year, but in the past year, I have never felt your love for me, at first I understood that you are a doctor, it is very hard, there is no time to contact me, I understand, I understand." But gradually I realized that this was not the case. ”

The woman was a little confused, and the man was a little sad when he saw her ignorant appearance, and said, "I know that you don't deliberately ignore me, or hang people's appetites, nor do you have a heart to be nostalgic for the past." At this point, the man paused, "You just don't know how to love me." ”

The woman he likes doesn't know how to love himself at all, admit this, the man has done a long time of psychological construction, after all, this fact is actually very hurtful to self-esteem, and it is heavier than being abandoned and split.

The woman remained silent.

At this time, the iced coffee that the two had just ordered was served, and the waiter looked at the two people who stood up and seemed to be about to leave, and hesitated, not knowing whether to bring it or not. The man motioned for him to set the coffee on the table. After the waiter left, the man looked at the woman's side face for a long time, his eyes were very good, she was really beautiful, even if it broke his heart, he had to admit that she was a beauty, perhaps because of her profession, she rarely wore makeup, plain face, natural and fresh, like a gardenia in the morning, hidden between the branches and leaves, beautiful and unaware.

He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, reluctant in his heart, but still forced himself to make a decision, only to see that he straightened his arm and let go gently, and the ring "banged" and fell into the cup on the woman's side accurately: "The ring, with your name, no longer belongs to me, since it can't be given to you justifiably, then let it stay in the place where we broke up." ”

The woman lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry." ”

When the man heard this, his heart was like soaking in coptis water, so bitter that he even felt suffocated when he struggled.

"It's obvious that I dumped you, but you still have to apologize to me..." The man shook his head slightly helplessly, "This makes me feel like a joke even more..."

Lou Lihe clenched the handbag tightly in his hand, his toes pointed outward, and said, "I really feel sorry, but... I really need to go back right now or I'm going to be late..."

But any person will not be calm when he hears this, but the man does not seem to be surprised, nor does he stop him, but just said lightly when the woman rubbed with him: "Lihe, do you know, once, you made me feel like a broken shoe in the cupboard, when you occasionally stop in front of me, when you look at me, I think I am unique, and you have to be me." But in fact, if this shop doesn't open that day, you'll go to the store next door and buy another pair of shoes," the man sat back in his seat, picked up the coffee in front of him, and took a sip, "You go, be careful tomorrow when you get off the night shift, don't get on the bus in a daze, sit in the wrong direction and no one will remind you anymore, because I'm not with you anymore." In the future, take good care of yourself. ”

The woman's footsteps paused, just for a few seconds, "Okay, thank you." ”

Hearing this, the man stopped looking at the woman, turned his head to look out the window, the sun was shining outside, but his heart was full of dark clouds, entangled and rolling, just waiting for a thunderclap, which would splash in an instant.

The woman's figure appeared downstairs, and the man saw her hurriedly reach for a car to sit in, and since then it disappeared from his vision, and he knew that she would never appear in front of him again.

The man turned his head to look at the empty seat opposite, his face expressionless.

took out his mobile phone and dialed a call: "Hey, Fu Xi, is the experiment over?" ”

Got the other party's affirmation, put down the phone, the man also stood up, and left the café.

In the evening, in the bar.

A man in a white shirt hurried in with a suit in his hand, with a high nose and silver-rimmed eyes, and a smell of solvent as he walked. I saw him search around the bar, found his friend in the corner of the bar, strode over, sat down next to the man, and said to the waiter: "A glass of 'freezing point', thank you." ”

After ordering the wine, Fu Xi put his coat on the bar, and when he saw that his friend was only bored and didn't speak, he reached out and put his hand on his shoulder: "Mingqiao, what's wrong?"

Mingqiao turned his head and said lightly: "I was dumped." ”

"You mean you've been dumped?" Fu Xi couldn't believe it, "Who?

Mingqiao's heart was soothed by his friend's questioning, and he couldn't help but laugh, "What, I can't be dumped?"

Fu Xi's wine was pushed over, he picked it up and took a sip impatiently, and then took a breath: "Of course it's strange that you were dumped, with your conditions, there are not many women with this courage in the entire Lingbei." ”

Fu Xi's words were a little ridiculous, but they were also the truth, Mingqiao is the son of Ming's Pharmaceutical Group in Country D, and he is a professional researcher, not only talented, golden, but also gentle and polite, which is the standard of the most ideal golden beetle son-in-law.

"I also thought it was incredible, but I couldn't help but admit that my relationship was a failure. Mingqiao smiled bitterly, "She doesn't like me." ”

Fu Xi's gaze was even more surprised, "My God, this makes me want to know who she is." ”

Mingqiao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about this anymore, and said, "I'm going back to country D in a few days." ”

Fu Xi hurriedly asked, "Then when will you go back to Lingbei?"

Mingqiao said: "About a year." ”

"It's okay, a change of environment can be regarded as healing. Fu Xi picked up his wine glass and touched Mingqiao's, "Good luck." ”

"By the way, what about Xinliang?" asked Mingqiao.

Ji Xinliang is Fu Xi's cousin, six years younger than him. The Ji family is a well-known medical family in Lingbei, and the family has been involved in medical-related industries for generations, Fu Xi teaches in the Department of Medicine of Lingbei University, and has become the youngest professor of Lingbei University at the age of thirty-three, but there are always a few people who are out of place in such a family, such as Ji Xinliang, when he was admitted to the Department of Medicine of Lingbei University at the age of sixteen, he participated in an entertainment talent show the next year, stood out, and became a hot star in the entertainment industry in less than a year, so it is not surprising that he is busy with work and lacks academic skills, this year is his fifth year of study at Lingbei University, but he has not completed his credits, has not yet graduated.

Fu Xi was also very helpless when he mentioned Ji Xinliang, "My uncle was so angry about this matter, but you know, no one can say anything about Xinliang, but fortunately, he is good in the entertainment industry, and he is not ashamed." ”

"Just mixing well?" Mingqiao snapped his fingers, "When I was seventeen years old, I won the title of actor in my first movie, becoming the youngest actor in China.

Fu Xidao: "Yes, if it's a good estimate, it's the best actor." ”

"It's all like this, even if it's delayed, it's not a shame, people's time is limited, and it's always difficult to get the best of both worlds. Mingqiao said.

"That's how I comforted myself," Fu Xi said with a smile, raising his hand to clink glasses with Mingqiao, "But I see that kid has been tired lately, and told me that he wants to go back to school to make up for credits." ”

"You say, has he had any recent setbacks? You know that boy is a stubborn donkey, and he doesn't usually say that. Fu Xidao, "After today's award ceremony, he is going to Jiulianwei to shoot for a month, I found him a tutor, and when he comes back to start tutoring, I hope to graduate successfully, so that my task will come to a successful end." ”

·· At the Jinlan Award Ceremony in Lingbei City.

Ji Xinliang and director Yan Ziyu sat side by side under the stage, watching the people going back and forth on the stage.

Yan Ziyu said: "Are you going to rest?"

The young man in the silver-gray dark embroidered dress sat upright, his face was slightly round, with a bit of childishness, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth made people understand that he was detached.

The young man nodded, "When the filming of Jiulianwei is over, I will go back to school to take a break." ”

Yan Ziyu is the director that Ji Xinliang cooperated with at the age of seventeen, at that time the two were still students at school, and they became good friends when they met by chance, and the first film they collaborated on won the gold medal at the college student film festival that year, and later was sent by the teacher to participate in the competition for the Golden Orchid Award, and it became a matter of course to achieve the youngest actor and best director of the year.

The two can be said to be like brothers, and no one knows Ji Xinliang better than Yan Ziyu.

Over the years, Ji Xinliang has won awards softly, but what he has paid is also a price that ordinary people can't bear: he has no private life, and he will always live under the flashing lights, such a life seems to shine, but the depression in it is not enough for outsiders.

Yan Ziyu said: "I regret a little that I lied to you to film at the beginning, so that Lingbei has one less good doctor." ”

"There is no shortage of doctors in Lingbei, and there is no less than one doctor in the Ji family," Ji Xinliang said lightly, "The reason why I took this road is because I want to take this road, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Yan Ziyu glanced at Ji Xinliang, "Don't you regret it? Why does that person who can be unsuitable for a month feel tired?"

Ji Xinliang lowered his eyes, "The body is not tired, but the heart is very tired, probably tired of one thing, and doubts the reason why I did it in the first place." ”

"Reason, weren't you deceived by me?" Yan Ziyu teased.

Ji Xinliang's slender finger pointed at his forehead, looking a little helpless: "When did I say that I was deceived by you?"

Yan Ziyu stretched out his hand and patted Ji Xinliang's shoulder gently, "I know that you are a person who likes to do everything to the extreme, since you are confused, you will rest, and you will come back when you find a reason." ”

Ji Xinliang nodded.

···

There wasn't much in the night shift, after checking the room, Lou Li had dinner with Qu Pingshan, the nurse on duty, and Qu Pingshan handed over an invitation, with a bright red cover and gilded letters: Wedding invitation.

Lou Lihe unexpectedly put down his chopsticks and took a look, "You're getting married?"

Qu Pingshan nodded shyly: "It's someone you also know, Dr. Han Mian of the emergency surgery department." ”

Lou Lihe remembered that this was the doctor who had cooperated with him before, and nodded: "He did a good job." ”

"Oh, Lihe, why are you so straightforward," Qu Pingshan was a little shy, "What about you, how about that Mr. Mingqiao? Haven't you been dating for a year? Do you have any plans to get married?"

Lou Lihe shook his head, "We broke up today. ”

"What?" Qu Pingshan hated herself a little for why she was so blind, but she didn't blame her, Lou Lihe behaved no different from usual, she has always been an expressionless person, who could have guessed that she had just broken up?

Qu Pingshan asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Lou Lihe didn't know why Qu Pingshan was so careful, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a little accident." ”

Accidental? a little?

Qu Pingshan felt that she was choked by the rice she had just swallowed, she raised her eyes to look at Lou Lihe, trying to find a little heartbroken evidence, but found nothing, Lou Lihe's fair face was calm like a lake, without any waves, almost giving her an illusion: the person who just said that the breakup was not Lou Lihe but herself.

Qu Pingshan wanted to say something, but Lou Lihe had already finished eating, folded the lunch box and prepared to write a medical record.

"Pear and,"

Lou Lihe heard Qu Pingshan shout to herself, and turned around to look at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Qu Pingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lihe, if you are sad, you don't have to endure it, it's okay, I won't tell others." ”

Hearing this, a confused expression flashed on Lou Lihe's face, but it quickly disappeared, Qu Pingshan almost thought he was dazzled, Lou Lihe shook his head: "I'm not sad, thank you." ”

Qu Pingshan looked at Lou Lihe, who turned around to face the computer again, and typed on the keyboard, and stopped talking: "Lihe..."

Lou Lihe turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the other party's cold appearance, Qu Pingshan swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, "··· Oh, I just wanted to ask you, do you need me to throw these lunch boxes together?"

Lou Lihe heard that it was not an important matter, and said casually: "Then it's hard." After speaking, he turned around and continued to write the medical record.

Qu Pingshan burned silently, she had never seen Lou Li and such a woman, cold, ruthless, if she was older and added a little bit of finger-pointing problems, she would be half an exterminator.

The next day, Qu Pingshan chatted with the head nurse Zuo Xin about this matter, and Zuo Xin said: "It's good if you get used to it, the pear and this person are not bad, but they are relatively cold." ”

Qu Pingshan couldn't agree with Zuo Xin's statement at all, she was just ruthless at all! But she still pretended to be confused and said, "I see, was Doctor Lou like this before?"

Zuo Xin nodded: "She's like this, it's like this since I've known her, otherwise why do you think that with her appearance and ability, none of the doctors in our hospital have ever dared to chase her?"

Qu Ping was clear: Was she scared away by her cold appearance?

Such a person is really rare.

In the morning, Lou Lihe, who had finished her shift, sat on the waiting chair in the waiting hall on the first floor, and after waiting for ten minutes, she suddenly remembered that no one had come to pick her up today.

This is the first time, Lou Lihe feels a little weird, but it doesn't matter, she just takes the bus, she used to go home like this, didn't she?

But when she couldn't remember which bus she should take and which direction she should go, she felt an inexplicable loss in her heart, tossed for a long time, and finally got on the bus, the sun hung overhead, no matter where she was on the bus, Lou Lihe felt that she couldn't avoid the annoying light.

The night shift did not sleep soundly, and Lou Lihe was dazed in the stuffy carriage.

The tide of memory rushed through the tide of sleep, and Lou Lihe felt suffocated.

It was when I was in high school, and it was also a hot afternoon, the cicadas were chirping, the teacher's lips were moving, cooking Lou Li and a few concentrations, and his body seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but there seemed to be a young man hiding behind a drawing board on the balcony not far from the window, and his sleeves folded above his wrists were stained with a lot of oil paint, dirty, but I don't know why, Lou Lihe felt very miss the taste of those oil paints.

When she woke up, Xia Meng was without a trace, Lou Lihe only felt sore, and with experience, she knew that she was a little sick.
