Chapter 35: Fireworks

It's been a week since we last met, and I curled up on the sofa with a pillow and sent him a WeChat message: "Are you off work?"

I casually swiped the circle of friends, and most of them were posting the gifts I received today, such as "Someone rarely cooked a table of dishes today, and barely passed." "I like the gift from Mr. Liu, hehe" "A gift that someone bought driven by the desire to survive"

Today is May 20th, the so-called emerging Valentine's Day in China, a festival marketed by merchants, coincidentally, twenty-five years ago today, I happened to be born, that is, today happened to be my birthday.

The circle of friends shows affection and love, and the show is full of flowers. Although it looks quite funny, I actually feel a little envious in my heart. Those straightforward, euphemistic, affectionate, and even hypocritical shows of affection are actually an expression of love.

Today is Friday, there is a lot of work, and neither of us has made a phone call or sent a WeChat message. I opened WeChat and looked at it, ten minutes have passed, he has not replied, thinking about whether to make a phone call, after thinking about it or not calling, yesterday he said on the phone that he would hold a board meeting today. Maybe it's still on the board.

I opened WeChat again and looked at it, but there was still no reply. I couldn't help but spit on what I had just done, and I suffered from gains and losses. Put down your phone, grab your clothes and go to the shower.

When I came out of the shower, I was wiping my hair with a towel when my phone suddenly rang.

"Xia Qing, you come down, I'm downstairs at your house. His voice was low and gentle.

"I just got out of the shower, come up. I said.

"Hurry down, I'll take you somewhere. He urged gently.

"Oh, okay, then you wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes. ”

"Good. ”

I put down the towel that wiped my hair, hurriedly opened the closet, flipped through it casually, and put on an off-white dress.

When I went downstairs, I saw him lazily leaning against the side of the car door with his arms folded, and the warm yellow light shrouded him, quiet and deep.

He looked up, smiled, and helped me open the car door.

He got into the driver's seat, turned on the lights in the car, saw my wet hair, hurriedly turned on the heating, and asked, "Why didn't you dry your hair before coming down?"

"I'm afraid you've waited too long. I looked at him with a smile and deliberately made a fuss.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, took my hand, and kissed me lightly on the back of my hand, with a smile in his eyes that could not be hidden.

The car started and merged into the vast traffic.

"Where?" I asked.

"You'll know when you get there. He said with a smile.

"You don't want to sell me, do you?" I said deliberately.

"Well, that's a good idea. He paused, and then said, "Forget it, I guess you'll have to pay for it, so I'd better keep it for myself." ”

He looked at me with a smile, and I glared at him in disgust.

Chatting along the way, before you know it, there are fewer and fewer cars on the road. The heating was blowing a little hot, my hair was already half dry, I lowered the window, the evening breeze was gentle, gently blowing on my face, there was a faint fishy smell in the wind.

A folk song was playing in the car stereo:

"Gentle evening breeze

Gently blow through the lover's dreams

A gentle evening breeze

Gently blowing through the sky of my hometown

A gentle evening breeze

Gently blow through the lights of the city

Tonight's evening breeze

Please let me know where you are going

……”

The car came to a slow stop, and I looked around with wide eyes and curiosity, and in front of me was a sleeping sea, the night was like paint, the stars were shining, and the sea was calm and cold.

He opened the trunk, took a bundle of things, walked over and took my hand, and walked towards the beach.

I looked at him curiously, didn't ask, and he didn't say.

When we got to the beach, he let go of my hand and opened the bundle.

It turned out to be fireworks!
