1. Reunion
Lin Dandan's first banquet after her newlywed was placed in her luxurious villa.
Our family was invited.
In the extraordinarily elaborately decorated living room, he just stumbled into his eyes without warning.
I wasn't mentally prepared at all.
His mind was blank for a moment, and it was not until his face enlarged and filled his eyes that he had the mechanism of life again.
It turned out to be him.
How long have we not seen each other?
-- Ten years and three days.
The brain, which is occupied by all kinds of numbers and reports, jumps out of the answer for the first time, and it is accurate.
I can't help but wonder how much I can't let go of him, so I can still calculate the days so clearly after many years of absence?
He smiled at me, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his eyes were as warm as jade.
But I'm like a wooden doll, I can't even smile when I'm expressionless.
Looking at him blankly, into the self in his black pupils-
His face was dull and his expression was blank.
But in fact, only I know that at this moment, my heart has burst into tears.
The dark eyes of the paint were still gently facing me, and in my confusion, I lowered my eyes and faced this qiē in the quietest and most useless way.
"Oh, Su Yu, why don't you say hello when you see someone? You also asked people to make up for classes when you were a child, you won't be unrecognizable now, right?" My mother's soft reproach sounded behind me, and after taking a breath, it was my mother's voice greeting him, "Mu Xin, hello! I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to come to Dandan's house for dinner this time." ”
Mu Xin, Shen Mu Xin.
His aunt's daughter, Lin Dandan, is my mother's goddaughter.
I, Jiangsu Yu, became a relative with him by accident.
"Hello, Auntie...... I'm going to stay in W City in the future, and I just got a job transfer this week. So this time Dandan has a treat, and I can attend. His slightly empty voice was like the texture of my memory, piercing through ten years and overlapping with the voice in my heart.
After a while, I chewed out the meaning of the words.
Did he transfer back to work?
I couldn't help but look up and see his indifferent expression when talking to my mother, full of elegance.
Time goes back in time, and it seems to go back to ten years ago, when he gave me tutoring homework, and he was patient and thoughtful...... with thinness.
That's right, it's sparse.
Detached and cold.
The body is only an inch apart, but the heart is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the six-year age gap lies between us, which is even more shocking than the Milky Way.
At the age of fifteen, I was immature and ordinary, and my eyes were as clear as water, and he was a handsome, gentle and honorable student.
Worship him with the gaze of the mountains.
But he didn't know the sparseness that emanated from his gaze.
Do you really not know or don't want to know?
……
"My family Su Yu was admitted to the civil service last year, and he was in the Finance Bureau of our city...... Little clerk, I can't compare with you...... By the way, you used to be from the Ministry of Finance, but now you are in which unit? Are you in the Finance Bureau?"
Financial?
I pricked up my ears all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but feel inexplicable feelings in my heart.
"I'm not ...... in the Finance Bureau," he was slightly disappointed, but he saw that he who was originally focused on my mother turned his face towards me, couldn't dodge, and met his eyes, "But I'm still in the financial mouth." ”
Indifferent but proud.
My mother didn't understand, but I did.
Two days ago, an eldest sister in the bureau office mysteriously threw a piece of gossip, saying that a new deputy mayor of our city will be in place next week and will be in charge of finance, auditing, taxation, and statistics.
The new deputy mayor is nothing, everyone is not interested, but the next sentence of the eldest sister made everyone come to the spirit, and the eldest sister pretended to whisper in their ears mysteriously: "I heard that this deputy mayor is very young, it seems that he is only in his thirties, and he ......is unmarried."
In your thirties?
For those of us who can only retire as a clerk for the rest of our lives, it is indeed shocking.
Everyone sighed, but I just laughed and didn't leave a trace in my heart.
But now that I think about it, is it him who is talking about?
Shen Muxin.
“…… Oh, we Su Yu, we have worked hard all these years, after your counseling, I was seriously admitted to key high schools and key universities, and after graduation, I was admitted to the civil service, but compared with you, it is too far behind...... "My mother's envious words drifted in my ears, souring my heart.
Ten years of hard work, just to chase his footsteps, to be a girl who doesn't have to look up to him anymore.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, the distance is getting bigger and bigger.
He bowed his head silently again, and the rain in his heart became heavier and heavier.
In front of him, it was dry and indifferent.
"Let's talk, I'll go over there to say hello......" Suddenly found a relative on the other side of the house who she hadn't seen for a long time, and my mother hastily ended chatting with him.
Shen Muxin nodded and watched his mother leave.
Then, I was ready to turn around and leave as if nothing had happened, pretending that we had never met.
"Su Yu, how is your work?Where are you now?......" He suddenly approached me and asked calmly, like an old friend who had known him for many years, I actually heard a pleasant gentleness from the question.
The noisy world around was silent.
