On Saturday morning, there was no class at school, so there was no need to get up early, so Shen Danyu slept until nine o'clock and then washed up and went downstairs. She was not dressed as a student at school. I wore a lace dress made of flowers, and my hair was specially straightened, and I took my wallet from the staircase. When Juan's mother heard the sound of going downstairs, she leaned out to look, and saw that she was going out, so she only asked, "I didn't eat anything in the morning, can I go out after eating?" Shen Danyu only said: "I made an appointment with my friend to go out to eat." ”

She looked at the watch on her left wrist, and made an appointment with Baoqing at half past nine, and the driver stopped at the door just after sending her father, she drove in and said, "Go to Xijiekou." ”

Baoqing has actually just arrived, there are more people on the street today than usual, and the people in the town will get up later as soon as they arrive on their rest days, so the few early shops at the street have not been withdrawn. Shen Danyu got out of the car and looked at each other's dresses very tacitly. Baoqing's hair was tied in a knot, which matched the yellow skirt on her forehead, and she was carrying a bag and striding down the street with Shen Danyu's arm. Baoqing said: "There is a new coffee shop on the street, let's go eat and eat. ”

This café is at the corner of the street, the green decoration is very foreign, and its sign hangs a string of English, "MOLLY", which is "Jasmine" in Chinese. The two girls liked the name of the café when they saw it at the door.

Dressed in a white shirt with a red bow and a black vest, the waiter came up to greet him when the doorbell rang. The café is arranged in a cloister-style, with a glass layer separated by soft sofa seating. Lead them to a window seat and come up to the menu. This menu is also printed with pictures, which are all the main products in the store.

The two little girls were also chasing the new style, and one of them asked for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. Shen Danyu loves to drink Americano, without milk or sugar, but Baoqing is not used to drinking it, when the coffee comes up, she adds three pieces of sugar and milk to stir.

The 10 o'clock sun completely pours into the café, and the room is filled with the aroma of coffee and the warm sunshine. They chatted, Baoqing ate the strawberries on the cake, and said as if she remembered something: "I haven't seen you and Fang Shiyan together for several days, did you quarrel?"

Shen Danyu took a bite of the cake and only said, "He wants to catch up with his graduation thesis, so I didn't bother him." Baoqing looked at her and said, "After he finishes, will he find a job by himself or listen to the school's arrangement?"

Shen Danyu was in a trance, otherwise Baoqing asked her this question. But she knew that Shiyan's family was in difficulty, and his mother saved money and worked many odd jobs for him to study, just so that one day he could help the family after studying. Fang Shiyan is a family and filial person, and also told her: "When I finish my studies, find a job with a good salary, so that my mother can stay at home and no longer have to do those hard jobs." His eyes sparkled. Shen Danyu was relieved to feel that he had not misjudged people, Fang Shiyan was a kind and ambitious person.

Shen Danyu replied: "He has to take care of his mother." ”

Baoqing was sullen for a while, ate half a piece of cake, and finally said to herself: "Do you know that every school recruits students to serve as soldiers in the military department every year?" Shen Danyu nodded, and only asked "What's wrong", she noticed that Baoqing was a little sullen from the moment she came in and sat here, as if she had something on her mind.

Baoqing said: "Can you really achieve any great ideals if you go there?"

Although they are students and have not been to a few places, they also read the newspaper, and gradually know a little about the situation outside, Shen Danyu said: "If a person is really patriotic, it doesn't matter if he is great, that is his belief, no matter the final result." ”

Baoqing lowered her eyelashes, finished eating all the cakes, and said vaguely "I understand" with the cake in her mouth, and Shen Danyu didn't know what she understood.

Out of the café, they wandered around Eighth Street. Each street is a small storefront, but the decoration and furnishings inside are neat and exquisite. The road on the street is paved with undulating bricks and stones, and Shen Danyu is wearing leather shoes, walking very carefully. They walked around for a long time, went around the Eighth Street, their legs were sore, and the cake they ate in the morning had been digested. Shen Danyu looked at his watch, it was already past twelve o'clock, so he proposed to go to lunch and found a nearby noodle restaurant.

Baoqing hurriedly ordered a bowl of celery wonton stew, Shen Danyu asked for a bowl of green pepper beef noodles, she was actually hungry with her chest and back, but in today's relationship with Baoqing, I don't know why she was not in a high mood and didn't say it, so she endured it until now.

After the noodles were served, she took a few bites, but choked because she had only drunk one cup of coffee so far. Baoqing asked her to drink the noodle soup, and the noodle went down her throat. Bao Qing said strangely: "There is no need for this, as if I haven't eaten it." ”

Shen Danyu blushed, patted his chest and said, "It's true, I haven't eaten beef noodles for a month, and I feel kind when I smell the fragrance." ”

Baoqing suddenly stopped the spoon and said, "I remember this, we were in Min'en that day, and I dragged you to eat noodles, why didn't you want to eat after you came back, and pulled me back?"

Shen Danyu was particularly angry when he thought of what happened that day, and poked the chopsticks with the noodles to the bottom of the bowl, and only said: "Don't mention it, I met a prodigal man - dressed like a serious person, but he was a well-dressed beast." Baoqing didn't expect such a thing, and raised her head curiously to stare at her and asked, "Then what? He didn't bully you, right?" Shen Danyu shook his head: "How is it possible, it's not so easy to bully me, it's just that I walked too fast and was spilled with red wine, which is quite embarrassing - so much so that I still remember the face of that thin man." The crowd was a shame for me. ”

Baoqing was also angry with Shen Danyu, and only said: "Who is that person? Have you seen him?" Shen Danyu said coyly: "How do I know where such a boy came out of nowhere." Baoqing also said: "There are always such gentlemen in those big counties. ”

Then they both ate their meals, and in the afternoon the sun was setting west, and they were walking by the river. Moss grows from the cracks in the masonry and is soft to step on, willow is like green dandelions, duckweed floats on the river, and a few wisps of tobacco appear on the chimney of the shop.

Before Shen Danyu went home, he wanted to ask something clearly. Baoqing is not very happy today, it is very different from the past. Shen Danyu opened his mouth and asked, everyone is sisters, and if you have something to say, you don't have to hide it in your heart. Baoqing stared at the ground, walking slowly, her eyebrows seemed to emit a kind of sadness, dim like the river at night.

Shen Danyu accompanied her to the end of a street, and Baoqing turned around, her voice was very small, and she could hear that she was a little lost, and said, "After this semester, I'm going to move—"

Shen Danyu was surprised to expect that he opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, and he couldn't speak for a while. In the end, he only replied slightly: "Where are you moving to?"

Baoqing said: "Huaiping, my father is going to expand his business, and he has friends there, in fact, he has planned it a long time ago, and he has only recently finished settling the house." ”

Huaiping is one of the largest cities in the north, and it is connected to the outer harbor. Although Shen Danyu has never been there, he heard that it is also singing and dancing at night, and it is prosperous. Shen Danyu is very happy for her, she can go out to see the world, but they are all southerners, and they must not be used to changing to unfamiliar places. Thinking like this, Shen Danyu was also in a lost mood, but she couldn't stop it, life and death are common things for people, just like you don't know how you were born into this world, and you don't know when you will say goodbye to this world, people can't control these things, and sometimes they are very powerless.

Shen Danyu held Baoqing's hand and said weakly, "You...... Will you come back?" Baoqing lowered her head and shook her head: "The family has already planned to sell the current house, and the whole family will move to Huaiping......"

Shen Danyu also looked down at her holding Baoqing's hand, Baoqing's white arm was wearing a purple smoke bracelet on her wrist, the size was very suitable for her wrist, and remembered what Baoqing had said before: "This was put on by my grandmother when I was a child, and I carried it for more than a year, and I couldn't take it off when I wanted to, so I could only wear it all the time." Shen Danyu was still afraid that Baoqing would grow up in a few years, and the size of the bracelet would definitely not fit the thickness of the wrist, and the bracelet would definitely be broken at that time. But she later remembered that they were all eighteen years old, and they would not grow any longer, and the bracelet would be worn on Baoqing's hand for the rest of their lives.

Baoqing said: "Xiaoyu, I only told you about this matter, don't tell Xu Ruolin and them first." ”

Shen Danyu had nothing to say. At this time, a car at the mouth of the alley honked its horn, Baoqing heard it, and said slowly: "Then I'll go first, I'll see you next week!" she deliberately raised her voice, pretending to be very interested.

Shen Danyu separated from Baoqing like this, and wanted to call a rickshaw, but unconsciously walked a long way, and when he reacted, he was not far from home.

The generation near the home is quaint, with caryophyllus planted outside the door, and a jar of yellow chrysanthemums poking out of the fence. The street lamps were already shining, and a few moths and mosquitoes could be seen circling around the aperture.

When I walked outside the house, I saw a car parked in the corner, and when I saw the license plate, I knew that it was someone from the police station - it must have been the director Huang, the rear light was on, and then I turned around and drove past her, and when I looked into the car window, it was as dark as night, and I couldn't see anything.

She stepped aside and waited for the car to drive away before entering. Mother Juan was about to close the door, but halfway through the closing, she saw her come back, her expression was nervous, revealing an ominous premonition. He said to her, "My young lady, why are you back?"

This is her home, shouldn't she come back? Shen Danyu was puzzled and was about to ask. Juan's mother was more anxious than her, pinched her arm and said, "Honestly, why did you go a few days ago?"

Shen Danyu suddenly brightened, her heart was pounding, she said to Juan's mother: "How did Dad know?" Juan's mother said incoherently: "Today's morning newspaper, the old man can see that it is you at a glance in the photo...... I told you not to go, and the lord hates you to get involved in this kind of thing the most. ”

Shen Danyu thought that the past two days had been peaceful, and things had passed like that, but she didn't expect the newspaper to be published today - and it was such a coincidence that she was photographed.

Shen Feiyin is a low-key person who does not like to mix with officialdom the most, and adheres to a non-contentious attitude with the world. Shen Danyu tried to calm himself down, but his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. After a long time, her heart was crossed, and she looked generous and righteous, and only said: "I haven't done anything wrong!"

Juan's mother turned pale, followed her behind, and said, "Good miss, you can't think of a ...... with the master for a while."

As soon as he stepped into the door, a light was on in the hall, and it was very quiet, Shen Danyu walked into the living room and did not see his father. She looked up at the light peeking through the crack in the door of the study, straightened her chest, and walked up the stairs.

As soon as Shen Feiyin went upstairs, when he heard Juan's mother's voice, he knew that Shen Danyu was back, and he only heard the sound of the stairs getting closer and closer until he reached the door. The breeze blowing in from the floor-to-ceiling window blew up the corner of the newspaper, and Shen Feiyin wanted to light a cigarette, but the match was extinguished by the wind, and he put the pipe back on the table.
