It wasn't until I had finished a cigarette and calmed down a little that I heard the phone in my bag ringing. When I took out my phone, the ringtone just stopped, and I glanced at the screen, it was Zhou Yusen, and there were already three of his missed calls.

I replied to him: "The phone was in the bag just now, I didn't hear it." ”

Zhou Yusen said, "Where are you now?"

I said, "The bus terminal, but don't come here, I'll just get on the bus and get back to school." ”

But Zhou Yusen insisted that he wanted to come to me and interrupted me: "I want to talk to you about something." "There are page numbers.

"Alright, come on, I'm outside the terminus. ”

I know that Zhou Yusen has a thangka in his heart. In this city, many of them are new friends, and they don't know the bottom of what is going on in Yangcheng, so they can't speak.

I sat directly on the steps in front of the roller shutter, took out another cigarette and lit it, it was very dark, the lights on the roofs of the street vendors who set up street stalls illuminated a small patch of darkness, and there were passers-by sitting down to eat a bowl of wonton noodles, or a few people who looked like migrant workers ordering two dishes and drinking two sips of spirits.

I smoked three more cigarettes, I saw Zhou Yusen get off a bus, I snuffed out the cigarette butt, and shouted at Zhou Yusen: "I'm here!"

Zhou Yusen trotted over and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "What happened?"

I shook my head: "It's nothing, didn't I say it on the phone just now?" ”

Zhou Yusen sat down beside me. The cigarette butt he threw me on the ground kicked aside: "You are a girl, don't smoke all the time, it's not good for your health." ”

I nodded, and the lighter I was about to light dropped into my bag, a cigarette in my hand and twirling between my fingers.

It's not the first time Zhou Yusen has said this to me, every time I nod my head. It's just that I haven't heard of it every time.

I thought that when Zhou Yusen said this, the matter just now would be regarded as a turning page, but I didn't expect Zhou Yusen to say the next sentence: "Is it because of Lu Jingzhong?"

The cigarette between my fingers fell to the ground all of a sudden, and from Zhou Yusen's pupils, I saw my slightly surprised look, so I hurriedly collected: "Don't ......"

Zhou Yusen interrupted me: "You don't have to deny it, Aka told me when he was in high school, and I saw him on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve?" I asked, "Which Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Zhou Yusen turned his face and stared at the road in front of him: "You said you couldn't come to my house that day, I thought you were alone, so I went to look for you, and I happened to see you lighting firecrackers, and a man in the back hugged you." And then you turn around and kiss him......"

That year's Chinese New Year's Eve......

I heard a "hmm" from my throat, and despite Zhou Yusen's objection, I lit another cigarette, and without smoking, I quietly sandwiched it between my fingers, waited until a long period of soot burned, and then flicked it off vigorously, and the soot fell flutteringly.

We both stared at the road, and for a moment we didn't speak, and finally when we left. Zhou Yusen suddenly asked me, "Can you give me a cigarette?"

I was a little surprised: "Don't you smoke?"

Zhou Yusen said: "I want to try. ”

I took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Yusen, Zhou Yusen's action of holding the cigarette with his fingers was very clumsy, he asked me for a lighter, I rummaged in my bag for a while and didn't find it, so I simply lit it for him with a cigarette in my mouth.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in my mind.

In the gloomy rental house, smoking for the first time, Lu Jingzhong used his index finger to hold the cigarette butt between his lips and approached me, the black figure flickered in front of my eyes, the cigarette between the lips butted, and the cigarette butt went out.

I suddenly took the cigarette between Zhou Yusen's fingers and threw it on the ground: "Don't smoke, I don't want Thangka to beat me into a pig's head, let's go." ”

The bus terminal is relatively close to Zhou Yusen's school, and when I took a taxi, I first reported to Zhou Yusen's school, and the driver's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it: "S big students, the roots are red." ”

I said, "I'm not big S, I'm big B." ”

The driver said, "That's not bad." ”

I've really heard a lot of this kind of talk, and it's really good, at least it's shrouded in the aura of C City.

After that, the driver turned on the radio, and in the carriage except for the unnutritious dialogue of the hosts on the car radio, only the sound of each other's breathing remained.

I don't know what Zhou Yusen is thinking, I've been thinking about the USB flash drive, thinking about the things in the USB flash drive, thinking about whether it will be calm tonight, and tomorrow will be bloody.

When he was about to reach S University, Zhou Yusen, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I'm going to Yunnan." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, it startled me, I turned my head and looked at Zhou Yusen's eyes, not like a joke.

Zhou Yusen said: "Do you believe it, I think he is there, I have feelings." ”

The car stopped at the gate of S University, Zhou Yusen got out of the car door, and I stopped him: "When I finish the game the day after tomorrow, I will go with you, I have never been to Lijiang, Dali, maybe there will be an affair." ”

Zhou Yusen turned around, a white shirt collar was exposed in his black coat, and he smiled and made an OK gesture.

My feeling for Zhou Yusen, in fact, has always been in the third year of high school, he lowered his head a little shyly, always followed Thangka, did not dare to speak loudly, only lived in his own small world, if Thangka did not approach him, he did not dare to come out.

But this time, I seem to have seen Zhou Yusen, who has finally grown from a small sapling blessed by a thangka to a straight tree with its own branches.

On the way back to school, I thought about where I had been, wondering if the USB stick had been left in the dormitory and not brought out.

I thought about it and called Xue'er, she usually goes back to the dormitory early at night, and Wen Wen doesn't go back to the dormitory until ten o'clock in the evening self-study.

It's just that Cher's phone is not connected.

When I arrived in the dormitory, I found that Wen Wen and Xue'er were both in the bedroom, and Xue'er shook her mobile phone: "Just now, Yu Zeduan's wife came to look for Sangsang, and the movement was quite loud, I didn't hear the mobile phone." ”

Has Huang Jingya been here?

Xue'er couldn't explain clearly for a long time, so I asked Wen Wen, Wen Wen said that she just came by car, and she waited downstairs in the bedroom for a while and drove away, and it didn't take long to leave.

"Nothing happened, did you tell Sangsang?"

Xue'er shook her head: "Sangsang hasn't come back yet." ”

Huang Jingya's matter will be put aside for now, and the next time I go to Li Zhengke's house to make up for classes, I can ask Huang Jingya about it.

Now, the most important thing is my USB stick.

I searched through the boxes and cabinets, on the table, on the floor, on the bed, and in the small wooden box in the wardrobe, but I didn't find the USB flash drive, as if I really lost it.

Since it's lost, you have to think about how to lose it.

Lying on the bed, I stared at the ceiling, my mind was messed up into a pot of porridge, Lu Jingzhong's face appeared for a while, a red USB flash drive appeared at one moment, and the overwhelming web page was full of photos of me and Lu Jingzhong, and one moment it was Lu Zhengyu and Fang's only sneer.

Before I climbed into bed, I had planned to sleep all night, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep in this state, and I didn't have a dream all night.

I didn't have a headache at night, but I had a headache the next day.

When I woke up in the morning, I first asked Zhou Yusen for Zhang Xiaoran's phone number, and I wanted to ask her if there was any major news in the circle.

Zhang Xiaoran's phone was very noisy, as if she was moving boxes or something, she said: "No, otherwise you will come to my internship company today, I ...... Qiao Chu: You're misplaced, it's the east, not the west. ”

I was stunned.

"Qiao Chu?"

Zhang Xiaoran said: "I'm sorry, I didn't call you, it's a classmate of mine, let's move ...... today."

I interrupted Zhang Xiaoran's words: "You let Qiao Chu answer the phone!"

"Not ......"

I couldn't help yelling, "You let Qiao Chu answer the phone!"

Zhang Xiaoran is also a coarse nervous person, if it were someone else, I would definitely yell back if I yelled like this, and Zhang Xiaoran directly called "Qiao Chu, someone is looking for the phone." ”

"Hey, hello?"

A crisp and pleasant voice came from the microphone, and I felt that the tear ducts that I had been blocking were about to burst, and the voice was already a little choked when it came out: "Qiaoqiao......"

The microphone was silent for three seconds, only the noise of dragging the box remained, and suddenly, Qiao Chu shouted "Ah": "Chen Nuolin! Damn, you are really Chen Nuolin?!"

I chuckled out, "Well, I am." ”

I actually hate the name Chen Nuolin, because this name has my dark memories in it, so once when I received a strange phone call calling me Chen Nuolin, I felt very disgusted, and I wanted to completely destroy this hidden darkness.

However, the strange thing is that when Qiao Chu called me by name, I didn't feel a little disgusted, on the contrary, I felt very quiet in my heart.

Qiao Chu made an appointment with me to meet at Starbucks under her internship company, and asked me to take a taxi now.

I said, "No see, no more." ”

Hanging up, I glanced up at the gloomy sky today, as if a crack had opened in the middle, revealing a glimmer of golden sunlight.

…………

I looked at the bus stop sign, and it took less than twenty minutes to get to the Starbucks bus stop that Qiao Chu said.

I looked in through the glass window, but I didn't see Qiao Chu's shadow, so I stood outside and waited.

Qiao Chu came ten minutes later, and from a distance, I recognized her at a glance, her hair curly and her stiletto boots, and a thin trench coat.

When she was two steps away from me, she stopped, pointed at me, and took off her sunglasses: "Chen Nuolin!"

I learned her movements and pointed at her: "Qiao Chu!"

Qiao Chu stepped over directly and hugged my shoulder: "Chen Nuolin, I haven't seen you for four years." ”

I hugged Qiao Chu back hard: "Four years ago...... I'm sorry. ”

I have always regretted the last words I said to Qiao Chu, and then Qiao Chu scolded me for turning around in a desperate way.

Qiao Chu pinched my arm: "Chen Nuolin, no need to say I'm sorry, I know you said that on purpose at that time." ”

After entering Starbucks, Qiao Chu asked me what I wanted to drink, and I shook my head: "I don't drink anything." ”

Qiao Chu still bought two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, found a place near the window and sat down, took off the windbreaker outside, revealing the V-neck cashmere sweater inside, and a platinum pendant hanging around his neck, which looked particularly intellectual.

"You ......"

"I ......"

The two of us spoke at the same time, and Qiao Chu waved his hand: "You take a sip of coffee first, let me ask first, when did you change your name, I just heard what Zhang Xiaoran said." ”

Four years ago, Lu Jing reused his relationship to help me change my name and move to Yangcheng, where I went to high school for a third year and was not admitted to university, so I repeated my studies for a year.

It's just that in these words, Lu Jingzhong's name and identity are hidden, as well as my past with him.

Qiao Chu nodded frequently after hearing this: "I also heard about it when I arrived in C City, Mr. Lu's family seems to be quite powerful, and there should be no problem in changing the name and household registration, but the name Jiayin is good, the original name is too ordinary, and the return rate is 80% if you call it on the street, I will call you Jiayin in the future...... By the way, did you see Mr. Lu again later?"

Qiao Chu made such a series of calls, I was stunned for a moment before I reacted and shook my head.

Qiao Chu said: "I have met, he has come to the company where I interned, but I was not in the company that day, so I didn't bump into him." ”

Speaking of which, I don't need to ask my questions, Qiao Chu made it clear to me in one go, she is a junior this year, and Zhang Xiaoran is studying news media and journalists, but Zhang Xiaoran is entertainment, and she is Minsheng, the internship period is half a year to a year, and she has just interned for less than two months.

Qiao Chu suddenly laughed as he spoke: "Hahaha, I'm a junior and you're a sophomore, you should call me senior sister." ”

I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips when I saw Qiao Chu smiling so happily.

Speaking of this, Qiao Chu's face suddenly sank: "You ...... Teacher Lu now"

I shook my head and interrupted Qiao Chu's words: "It's my teacher, and it's also your teacher, I'm just like you." ”

Qiao Chu took a half-day off and went shopping in Xintiandi with me, originally Qiao Chu bought clothes, but when he saw a pale yellow skirt, Qiao Chu compared it to me: "You look white, this is too good for your complexion, go try it." ”

When I took the skirt into the fitting room, I paid attention to the sign inside, and even if the price on it was a 6% discount, I felt sore.

Wearing a skirt and going out, Qiao Chu said, "It's good-looking, just like a model." ”

I said, "You've seen that model who is only 1.65 meters tall." ”

Qiao Chu said: "Graphic model, you have a well-proportioned and small skeleton, seriously, you can try the graphic model recruitment of the company where I interned, it is part-time." ”

My eyes lit up: "Qiaoqiao, you are really my lucky star." ”

This pale yellow skirt is indeed suitable for me, I have cut my hair short, the style and color are very suitable, just now that I am going to summer, I should also have a skirt that can be handled, so let the shopping guide wrap it for me.

While paying at the cash register, a petite woman came out of the locker room and held her right earlobe with one hand: "My pearl earrings are missing...... I hung it on it when I tried on clothes just now, and when I came out to take the clothes, why was it gone......"

The shopping guide also looked for it in the locker room, shook his head and said, "I really haven't seen it." ”

The woman took two steps forward and saw me, looked at me with special contempt, and swept from head to toe: "After I came out just now, only you went in to change your clothes, did you take it?"

I frowned, and before I could speak, Qiao Chu beside me stepped forward: "If you lose your earrings, you will rely on others, you have no evidence, it's better not to say so, be careful that I sue you for slander." ”

The little woman said, "Then pour out the contents of your bag and look at it." ”

"Are you sick or not, thrown out by the mental hospital, who are you who has the right to search others? Do you want to call the police directly? ”

With Qiao Chu, you will never have to worry about losing in your mouth, she can sweep the tens of millions of troops with her mouth alone, in the past when she was in high school, she once boasted that she was the realistic version of the female Zhuge with her tongue.

Seeing that this little woman had been choked and couldn't say a word, two people paced over from the men's clothing area in another area, a man and a woman, and the little woman seemed to have found a savior, so she ran over directly: "Sister Xuanxuan, the custom earrings you bought for me from Hong Kong last time fell off, and she took the ......"

With such an arrogant and domineering tone, at first glance, she is the kind of girl who has grown up since she was a child, and she has not suffered anything.

I just glanced over there, and before I could see it completely, I looked at my nose and nose and my heart, and with my eyelids slightly drooping, I saw a long figure reflected on the marble floor of shopping.

And at this moment, the shopping guide next to him gasped: "Sir Lu!"

"Shh

Lu Jingzhong put an index finger on his lips, and then shook his head slightly.

The shopping guide immediately understood, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed, and whispered, "Can you sign it." ”

From the side mirror, I could see the other party's gaze from the side mirror, which could fall on me.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to look up and smile.

Lu Jingzhong was standing three steps away from me, looking at me with a faint expression, unable to see joy or anger.

Lan Xuan next to her is like a proud peacock, but she is relatively approachable, so she asked the assistant behind her to go to the locker room to look for it again, and if she couldn't find it, she would adjust the monitoring.

Qiao Chu also followed the shopping guide into the locker room, and in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of the cash register, only me and Lu Jingzhong were left.

He was half-leaning on the cash register, his index finger tapping on the counter very casually, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his eyes kept on me, staring at my hair for a while, staring at my lips for a while, and my eyes were a little feverish at the base of my ears.

I forced myself to meet his gaze and smiled like I thought it was okay.

Lu Jingzhong tilted his head, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and asked me, "Is there any smoke?"

I was stunned for a moment.

Before I could answer, the cashier at the cash register had already taken out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, put on a lighter, and handed it to Lu Jingzhong with both hands.

Lu Jingzhong only took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it between his lips, threw the lighter to me, and then leaned over to me with his index finger on the cigarette butt.

I didn't react for a while, I almost didn't catch the lighter when Lu Jing threw it again, and now his action is clearly to ask me to help him light a cigarette.

There were still people watching at the cash register, and I couldn't say anything, so I used my hand to protect the flame of the lighter, and took a step forward to approach the cigarette held between Lu Jingzhong's lips.

Lu Jingzhong leaned down slightly, and the orange flame of the lighter was reflected in his dark and shiny pupils: "Thank you." ”

I still held the lighter in my fingers, because Lu Jing's posture leaned forward slightly, and my hands were only a centimeter away from his cheeks.

I looked at the face that was so close at hand, his eyes were fixed on my face, his breath was on the bridge of my nose, my mind suddenly moved, my mind did not instruct, my fingers touched the side of his face, and the fingertips slid lightly.

The heart throbbed violently, as if something heavy was hitting the chest.

That's when I knew I was done.

I also like Lu Jingzhong.

I like it badly.
