Chang An ran to the road in one breath and got into a taxi, but his tears still couldn't control his tears and fell down.

The driver who planted him was an uncle, and he probably had a better eye, so he parked the car on the side of the road when he saw her like this, and he didn't urge her to go.

Chang An's heart seems to be blocked with something, and it seems to be hollowed out and poured into it by the wind and rain, sulking for a while and feeling empty for a while, but in the end, she is just uncomfortable, unspeakable and uncomfortable.

Chang An finally took out his mobile phone, and it was not a jet lag, so he dialed Zhou Wei's number directly.

Pick me up, please, please, please pick up my call.

She covered her mouth and listened to the beep over there, which sounded about a dozen times, and tears were already flowing all over the back of her hand, and finally connected.

"Hey...", Zhou Wei's slightly dull and tired voice over there.

Chang An seemed to have found a home, and sat there crying.

She held her mobile phone and shouted, "Zhou Wei, I don't have a father, I don't have a brother, I don't have any more, I don't have ......."

The uncle in front was so frightened by this cry that he turned around, and saw Chang An sitting straight there crying, and he didn't know who the person on the other end of the phone was and what he told her, but fortunately, her crying gradually became smaller, and then there was only a little sobbing gasp.

It was a few minutes after Chang An hung up the phone, but after talking to Zhou Wei on the phone, his mood calmed down a bit.

The driver looked at her in the rearview mirror and saw that she was wiping tears.

"Girl, the family is gone?"

The driver knew that there was a funeral parlor nearby, and guessed that someone might have died in the family.

Chang An didn't speak, his eyes were red.

The uncle sighed, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, and the girl wants to open up." After waiting, seeing that Chang An didn't seem to be pumping, he asked, "Are you still leaving?"

Chang An then remembered that his car had been waiting on the side of the road for a while, and the double jump lights were still flashing.

"No... Sorry, let's go. ”

Chang An said the address of the hotel, and the car took her away, and Chang An paid an extra 50 yuan after arriving at the destination, after all, he had just delayed the master for a lot of time.

When she got back to her room, she took off her damp coat and fell headlong on the bed, not sleepy, just staring at the ceiling.

There was no decoration on the ceiling, it was flat and white, and there was a circle of small spotlights with round holes.

I just lay down like that for about half an hour, all kinds of thoughts were running around in my head, about Sun Zhengdao, about Xue Bing, about Chang Wangde, and about her and Chen Haodong's childhood, in fact, I was not as sad as I was just now, I just felt that my heart was very empty.

Half an hour later, Chang An realized that it was a little cold, her hair and pants were still wet, and she estimated that she would catch a cold if she lay down like this again, so she took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower, took off the wet clothes on her body, and the mud splashed on her trouser legs was a little dry, and a small piece of hard stuff stuck to the fabric.

The hot water shower rushed down, and Chang An exhaled softly......

After washing, Chang An didn't rush out, wrapped himself in a bath towel and sat on the toilet lid and smoked a cigarette.

Recently, she has tried her best to quit, and only allows herself to smoke one when she is particularly depressed, but the effect of nicotine is really strong, and the erratic emotions in her brain are almost suppressed after a cigarette.

Chang An redressed and went downstairs to forage for food.

It was past three o'clock, the rain had stopped, and the temperature seemed to be lower.

There are no decent restaurants nearby, McDonald's fast food she has no appetite, and finally chose a dumpling restaurant to eat a bowl of dumplings, out of the restaurant, the time is still early, but the winter days are short, plus it rains, the sky has become dark.

Chang An stopped a car at the intersection.

"Go to Chang'an Avenue!"

The master glanced back at her, "Chang'an Avenue is long, you have to say a specific place." ”

Chang An put his hands in his pockets, and the small paper flower was already crumpled into a ball.

"There's nothing specific, just go around the loop and send me back. ”

"Okay, sit down!"

The master restarted the car, and at first chatted with Chang An, which was probably a habitual problem of running a taxi.

"Girl, you're here for a trip, aren't you?"

"Well, there's nothing to see in Beijing at this time, it's too cold, and the weather forecast says that there may be snow tomorrow, so you have to come in October..."

"But now the Spring Festival hasn't passed, and the city is emptier than usual, otherwise the road would have been blocked at this time..."

The master didn't know where the accent was, anyway, he chattered, but slowly realized that Chang An didn't mean to talk, so he consciously stopped squeaking.

After more than half an hour, the car went on Chang'an Avenue, and sure enough, the time was good, and the traffic on the street looked less than the previous few times.

As the car drove past, the street lights were already on, expelling the darkness and smearing the winter street with an orange warmth.

Chang An looked at the scenery dangling out of the car window, each one was familiar.

She recalled that she had been here several times, from a few years old to now 28 years old, coming with different people, it seemed that every time the mood and situation were different, some were young and ignorant, some were sweet, and some were sad and painful, but this time there was more relief.

Sad or sad, although she has no feelings for Sun Zhengdao, but blood may really be a very magical thing, invisibly connected to each other, so even if the two have not really recognized each other, Chang An still has to admit that the moment he heard the news of his death, his heart hurt a lot, as if something had been cut off from his body.

As for Chen Haodong, she is willing to believe that she once really loved him, the kind that is very sure, from her teens to her twenties, almost covering her adolescence, but she is also willing to believe that she has completely put him down now, because her heart is full of another man, but there are some regrets, even if the husband and wife can't do it, the brother and sister are very good, thinking of this Chang An smiled unconsciously, she felt that she might be a little greedy.

At this time, the driver asked: "Chang'an Avenue in front is at the end, go back the same way or go around in another place?"

Chang An looked out the window, "Let's go back the way you came." ”

It was about seven o'clock when she arrived at the hotel, and she was not hungry, so she did not eat.

I went back to the room and took a shower, dried my hair, and felt hungry after such an activity, thinking that it was too cold outside, and the room was warm, Chang An didn't want to go out again.

The small table with teacups was piled up with snacks provided by the guest room, Chang An pulled it, there were buckets of instant noodles, chocolate and potato chips, she picked up the instant noodles and found the production date under the light, fortunately, it was still half a month before it expired.

Chang An boiled a pot of water, soaked the instant noodles, sat on the bedside and made a video call to the nurse, and first asked Xiaozhi about the situation in the past two days, fortunately, everything was normal, but the little guy was squeamish, dragging the mobile phone and crying at the other end to ask her when she would go back.

Chang An smiled and looked up just at the window in front of the bed.

White stuff sticks to the windows.

Snowing?

She approached with her phone in her hand.

"Xiaozhi, it's snowing in Beijing......"

……

Chang An slept well that night, firstly, the main reason was that the lack of sleep was too serious, and he was tired to the limit even if he had more to worry about, and secondly, he changed the room, and the air conditioning was very strong, and he would not be innocently awakened in the middle of the night.

But wake up a little early the next day, mainly woken up by the movement in the corridor, there are a lot of guests who come to travel here, it seems that there are tour groups, with the group must get up early, the room soundproofing is poor, almost not peaceful.

After a few waves of quarrels, Chang An couldn't sleep at all, touched the phone and looked at it, it was only six o'clock, she opened the ticketing software to see if she could buy a return ticket, but it was just a luck.

Sure enough, she was always unlucky, and the tickets and high-speed rail were sold out that day, but there was still a place for Green Pite.

Calculating the time, it takes at least eight or nine hours to return to Yunling by this T-shaped train from Beijing, not counting the time that may have to be made on the road to bullet trains and high-speed rail.

Chang An sighed, got up to wash and get dressed, and planned to go to the ticket office at the train station to see if he could buy other tickets.

Before leaving the door, she looked at the time again, and at 6:08, she opened the door, and a pair of legs appeared in her downward vision, to be exact, someone sitting on the floor by the door of the room with his back against the wall.

Chang An was taken aback.

The person on the ground also turned sideways when he heard the sound of the door opening, Chang An met his gaze, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and suppressed the exclamation that was about to rush out of his throat.

Chen Haodong saw Chang An open the door and wanted to get up, but he probably sat there for too long, and his legs were numb, and Chang An saw him barely stand up when he pushed his elbow against the wall.

Chang An's gaze slowly moved up along the height he got up.

"You ......," she swallowed, removing her hand from her mouth, "why are you here?"

Chen Haodong bent down and patted his two sore calves.

"Yesterday, you left in too much of a hurry, and I didn't have your contact information, so I asked a friend in Beijing to find out the registration information here. ”

Chang An checked in with her ID card, and it was not difficult to check it in the public security system, but she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out at all.

"You've been waiting here for a long time?"

"Hmm!"

"What time did you come?"

"Three, four?" Chen Haodong laughed briefly, "I don't remember." ”

"Why don't you knock on the door?"

"It's too early, I'm afraid it will affect your sleep. ”

Yesterday, I saw that her face was not very good, and her eyes were blue, so I knew that she must not have rested well when she came to Beijing.

Chang An covered his lips again, that sadness came again, covered his body overwhelmingly, pressed it hard, and asked, "You came to me... Something?"

Chen Haodong looked at the woman in front of him, she changed into a light-colored cotton suit, wrapped in a scarf, revealing a slap face, except for the short hair, the facial features are still those facial features, it seems that they have not changed, but she is no longer the girl who always followed her ass back then.

She is married, has become someone else's wife, 28 years old, the best age, has experienced the darkness and hardships of the lowest point in her life.

She's not her own girl anymore.

Chen Haodong sat at the door for three or four hours, sorting out all the clues little by little, and suddenly raised his arm.

"Mind that?"

Chang An didn't understand, "What?"

In the next second, that arm had already wrapped around her shoulder, and Chang An was almost dragged by him and pulled into his arms.

He was tall and burly, and when he held Chang An like this, he felt like he had something in his arms.

Chang An was shocked for a moment, and his body stiffened violently, but he quickly relaxed slowly.

Chen Haodong only hugged her with one arm, and the other arm naturally drooped, but just like this, Chang An felt that he was about to be suffocated by him, he seemed to spend all his strength on that arm, rubbing Chang An's shoulder with his palm, burying his head, and his chin against the top of Chang An's head.

Chang An felt that he was about to be crushed by him.

"You..."

"I have something to tell you!"

“……”

"Yesterday you walked too fast, I didn't have time, just used this night to let me think clearly. ”

"What are you thinking about?"

Chang An moved and wanted to get out of his arms, but Chen Haodong stubbornly pressed her and didn't let her move.

"Say it like that, say it like that!"

Chang An's back stiffened, and finally nodded, "Hmm." ”

She put her face on Chen Haodong's chest, he was still wearing the leather coat from yesterday, the smell of leather was a little cool, and there was a little tobacco fragrance.

Chen Haodong hugged the person in his arms, she was soft and warm, and she was more sure at this moment.

"I've been sitting here for hours, you know what I'm thinking?"

“… I didn't think about who was right and who was wrong, but thought, you are still alive, I can still hold you like this, talk to you, and listen to you call me brother, which is more important than anything else. ”

"So I don't care whose daughter you are, Sun Zhengdao or Chang Wangde, it doesn't matter, these are not for you to decide, you don't need to apologize to me, and I am not qualified to forgive you, because there is no hatred between us. ”

The grievances of the previous generation have been settled with their entry into the earth, and Chang An is an exception, an exception that Chen Haodong was forced to encounter in his life, and he could not refuse.

While he lamented the cruelty of fate, he was even more glad that he was able to meet her, although Chang An failed to become his own girl in the end, but this did not prevent him from continuing to love her and cherish her.

"Chang An, you have a saying that is very right, the past should be in the past, the future is still very long, you let me put down the burden, you have to be the same!"

Chang An actually couldn't cry anymore when he heard him speak, and he was already lying on his shoulder and crying into tears at this time.

Chen Haodong grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away a little, Chang An hid at first to prevent him from looking.

"It's not the first time I've seen you cry...... Chen Haodong smiled bitterly, slapped away the hand she was about to cover her face, touched it himself to help her wipe her tears, and had to accommodate her height, almost half-holding her waist.

finally wiped away her tears.

"I'll be your brother from now on, my brother, huh?"

The result is good, Chang An finally stopped sobbing, looked up at him after he said this, looked at him for less than two seconds, his nose wrinkled, and he cried again.

Chen Haodong hurriedly began to wipe her tears again, but this time it seemed that he couldn't wipe them clean.

Chang Anxin was really sad and aggrieved.

"You bastard, bastard, bastard......"

After making her sad all night, she clenched her fists and beckoned to Chen Haodong, and her crying had no intention of stopping.

It just happened that someone came out of the opposite room, it seemed to be a little couple, seeing Chang An beating Chen Haodong, crying and scolding him for being a bastard, this picture is very reminiscent of other things, not to mention that this is still a guest room corridor.

"What's going on?"

"This woman has been deceived, right?"

"Maybe, eat dry and wipe clean and don't admit it, scumbag!"

Chen Haodong's scalp twitched.

"Don't cry!"

"Chang An, stop crying, huh?"

He patted and hugged, but unfortunately Chang An couldn't coax Chang An at all when he burst into tears, seeing two disdainful glances from the other side, Chen Haodong held his forehead, frowned and pushed Chang An back into the room, and closed the door.

After more than ten minutes, Chang An stopped, and Chen Haodong poured a glass of warm water and walked back to the living room.

The crying had stopped, but he was still sitting on the couch panting for air.

"Drink some water, your throat is hoarse!"

Chang An let out a long breath, raised his head and poked at him, his eyes were swollen and red, really like a rabbit.

Chen Haodong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Chang An was even more angry, "Still laughing!" As a result, he couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

The so-called smile and enmity, not to mention what he just said, there is no grudge between the two, but this smile seems to have cleared the fog between the two, and the road has been clear from now on.

He is her brother, she is his sister, and they are still very important to each other, but they are only affectionate.

Chen Haodong stayed with her for a while, and waited for Chang An's mood to completely stabilize before asking, "Where are you going early in the morning?"

Chang An put down the water glass, "Go to the train station to buy a ticket!"

Chen Haodong: "Planning to go back?"

Chang An: "Yes, if you have a ticket, you will leave this afternoon, but unfortunately it is very difficult." ”

It happened to be the return of the Spring Festival, and it was almost impossible to buy tickets for the day.

Chen Haodong sat down on the two-seater sofa opposite, "I'm driving here, I can take you back, but I have to squint for a while." ”

He drove to Beijing from other places the night before, drove for more than eight hours, and sat in the corridor for half the night last night, which means that he has not closed his eyes for more than 30 hours in a row.

Zhou Wei pulled the zipper of his coat to the top, did not take off his shoes, and lay down with his hands folded, his head resting on the armrest of the sofa on one side, and his long legs hanging above the armrest on the other side.

Chang An: "......"

She went over and patted Chen Haodong on the shoulder, "If you want to go to bed, go to bed." ”

Chen Haodong didn't move.

Chang An: "The sofa is too small, you have to fall off your neck when you sleep like this." ”

Thinking about it, after driving at high speed for eight or nine hours in a row, Chen Haodong's cervical spine was already uncomfortable.

He reopened his eyes and sat up from the couch, "It's okay, I'll take another shower by the way!"

Chang An: "......"

Chen Haodong entered the bathroom, Chang An glanced at his phone, it was almost seven o'clock, and the sky was already bright outside.

She wrapped her scarf again, went to the bathroom door and knocked on the door, "Brother, I'll go out and buy some breakfast, and you can go to bed after eating!"

Chang An walked out on foot, and when he walked outside, he found that the snow was quite heavy last night, and a thick layer had accumulated on the road.

Twenty minutes later, she brought breakfast into the room, Chen Haodong had already taken a shower, sat there and made a phone call, listening to the content like a matter of work, maybe something was not going well, he was training people on the phone, eyebrows and eyes, Chang An snickered, sneered, and looked like a little boss.

Chen Haodong hung up the phone, turned around angrily, and was startled by Chang An who was standing behind him.

"When did you come in? Why didn't you make any noise!"

Chang An couldn't help laughing, "You train people, I'm embarrassed to disturb you!"

Chen Haodong: "......"

Seeing the bag she was carrying, "Breakfast?"

"Well, there is nothing to eat nearby, so I bought a few buns, you can finish the mat first and then go to bed!"

Chang An put the bun on the coffee table, poured two more glasses of water, and ate some with him.

"By the way, it's snowing outside, it's quite big, maybe you may not be able to walk today!"

“……”

After eating, Chang An cleaned up the coffee table, and Chen Haodong went to the bedroom window to take a look.

"How's it going?" Chang An asked.

"It's a bit of a hang!"

"Then wait for the snow to melt a little before leaving. ”

"I guess we'll have to wait until dawn tomorrow. ”

"I'm fine, it's better than being stuck on the highway!"

Chen Haodong probably made sense when he thought about it, "I'll go downstairs and open another room." ”

Since it is necessary to spend the night, it is indeed not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to stay in a room.

Chang An hummed.

Soon Chen Haodong came back from checking in, and raised the room card in his hand, "It's next door to you, I'll go make up for sleep, and call me if there's something!"

Chang An smiled, but Chen Haodong walked to the door and returned.

"By the way, leave me a mobile phone number!"

Chen Haodong slept very deeply that night, and when he woke up, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, he got up and took a shower, and went to knock on the door next door refreshed.

The door opened, and Chang An stood there sleepily.

"Woke up?"

"Woke up?"

The two of them said these three words at the same time, and laughed at the same time, and finally Chen Haodong waved his finger, "Go out and find a place to have dinner?"

"Well, wait for me for a few minutes!"

The door closed again, and Chang An came out wrapped in a thick cotton suit with a scarf around his neck.

She is afraid of the cold, he has always known it, but he used to love beauty, so in the cold winter, Layue is also a coat and skirt, and he is always bare-legged, and he never wears such a bloated cotton jacket.

Now it's different, she cuts her hair short, wears cotton clothes, wears pants, and wraps her whole body tightly, no longer competing with herself.

Chen Haodong thinks this is very good.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs first!"

The two discussed what to eat in the elevator and couldn't decide, so they finally went to ask the front desk attendant.

The waiter recommended a nearby lamb brush.

"Do you want to eat?" Chen Haodong turned around and asked Chang An.

Chang An didn't even think about it, "Eat, I'm hungry for this bite!"

Chen Haodong: "......"

After taking the car, Chen Haodong set up the navigation, and the mutton restaurant was not far from the hotel, and it took seven or eight minutes to drive over.

It's a very small store, but the business is very good, and the door is already crowded with people before the meal, and there are many photos of celebrities and bosses hanging on the wall at the entrance.

"Internet celebrity shop?" Chang An asked.

Chen Haodong stuck in his trouser pocket, "The devil knows, do you still eat?"

"Eat, eat more!"

“……”

Chen Haodong can't understand the psychology of women, but he is used to following Chang'an, "Then I'll get the number!"

Fortunately, the queue was not long, and within half an hour, the two of them took their turn to take the position.

Chang'an ordered and directly ordered three plates of mutton.

"Just eat this?" asked Chen Haodong with chopsticks.

Chang An said "um", poured a plate into the boiling high-barrel copper pot, stirred it twice with chopsticks, and soon the fragrance overflowed.

She smiled and asked, "Do you know that I already eat more mutton?"

Chen Haodong: "How long?"

Chang An: "It's been three years, and the last time I ate it was the night of the kidnapping!"
