Only a handful of windows in a huge office building in Beijing's Third Ring Road are still lit, the sidewalk in front of the building is not as bustling as it was in the morning, and there are few people waiting for buses at the bus stop along the highway. The freezing temperatures of this sprawling northern city make everyone eager to rush home and enjoy the warmth of family at the end of a busy day's work.

Fan Xiaoxiao was finally able to drag her tired body out of the increasingly gray office building, she had just come out of the revolving door like a rabbit released from the cage, but she was soon frozen back by the cold wind blowing on her face like a knife outside, and the security guard in the hall on the first floor immediately threw an impatient look at her.

After Xiaoxiao glanced at the hall security guard who was gritting her teeth and looking at her watch constantly, she wrapped her scarf tightly and ran out fiercely. Fan Xiaoxiao, who was standing in the cold street again, wrapped her head into a rice dumpling with a scarf, and only her two eyes were exposed. She was still wearing the bright red down jacket that her mother gave her three years ago, and it was still that earthy red.

This year is Xiaoxiao's second year in the company, but she still plays a dispensable role in the company, and she may be ruthlessly laid off one day when the company lays off employees. At this point, Fan Xiaoxiao's stomach was already hungry, but she didn't have time to take care of her rumbling stomach in protest, because the last bus she was going to take was almost coming. I originally wanted to take the subway, but the nearest subway station is too far away from me, only the bus stop is on the other side of the road where the naked eye can see. So Xiaoxiao had no choice but to completely abandon the image of a lady, and ran wildly on the sidewalk towards the bus stop not far away, regardless of the eyes of others.

It's almost time to get to the intersection, the bus stop is just across the sidewalk, just one more traffic light away. At this time, Fan Xiaoxiao seemed to have seen the bus, not good! There were only six seconds left in the green light, and Fan Xiaoxiao quickened her pace. By the time she reached the intersection, the green light on the opposite side had turned into a flashing yellow light, "There's still a little time, we must catch that bus." The hot-headed Xiaoxiao was so focused on catching the bus that she didn't pay any attention to the traffic lights that had turned red and the rushing traffic at both ends of the road.

Squeak, squeak...... Xiaoxiao collapsed under the traffic light lamppost.

A terrible tire friction sound sounded next to Fan Xiaoxiao's left ear, the piercing sound shook Fan Xiaoxiao's eardrums, and the dazzling headlights lit up her whole body, which made the red down jacket on her body even more bright red in the dark night. Fan Xiaoxiao, who was lying under the traffic light lamppost, was very dizzy, she only remembered that she was pushed down by a car when crossing the street, no, she should have been frightened, because the car braked in time, so she basically didn't touch herself.

Fan Xiaoxiao rubbed her sore buttocks, then raised her arms to block the dazzling lights in front of her, and she saw a pure white Porsche SUV parked proudly in front of her. Generally speaking, as a victim of a traffic accident, most of them have a mentality of "don't stop if you don't die" to treat the perpetrator, but Fan Xiaoxiao did not lie on the ground and pretend to be "injured", but slowly stood up, because she understood that she ran the red light first and was at fault.

The door of the Porsche opened, and a man in a black trench coat stepped out of the cab. Fan Xiaoxiao was very scared, and she stared at the man who came out of the cab with frightened eyes. She sensed that the other person would soon scold something like, "Grandson, do you have long eyes?" or "Don't you want to die, stupid X" or something like that.

Unexpectedly, the man's first sentence was "I'm really sorry, you didn't get hurt, did you?" It was this gentle greeting that made Xiaoxiao's face immediately blush, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay...... You didn't touch me, I just subconsciously hid. Just as Xiaoxiao was speaking, the man took another step forward for some reason, and then shook his head left and right to look at her like looking at a treasure, Fan Xiaoxiao also looked at the man in front of him in confusion because of the dazzling headlights.

The man shook his head and looked at it carefully, and finally spoke: "You are Fan Xiaoxiao, right?" Fan Xiaoxiao was stunned, he actually knew his name, so she took a big breath of cold air and asked, "Do I know you?" The man didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer this, but turned his head to look at the huge traffic behind the car, and then grabbed Fan Xiaoxiao's arm, and squeezed out a sentence in his mouth, "Let's talk about it after we get in the car." ”

Originally, Fan Xiaoxiao wanted to shout for help, but the man's strong hand grabbed Xiaoxiao's arm and hurt, so the cry for help all became "Oops, oops, you are light, I still have to catch the bus." Voice. Soon, Fan Xiaoxiao was dragged into the passenger cab by the man, and her strong desire to survive forced her to stick her head out of the window and shout for help, but the window glass couldn't be opened. So Xiaoxiao was ready to change her strategy, she carefully took out the phone from her pocket, ready to call the police at any time.

But when the man sat in the cab and fastened his seat belt, and saw Fan Xiaoxiao sitting next to him staring at him, he actually smiled heartily, but it was this hearty laughter that reminded Xiaoxiao of some clips of tearing tickets in crime movies, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she thought about it, the more numb her scalp became. The engine started, and the cab was filled with warm gas, which made Fan Xiaoxiao feel much more comfortable, but all this did not make her let her guard down.

"Who the hell are you, how do you know my name, if you don't tell me again, I'll call the police. Fan Xiaoxiao stared at the man who was driving with wide eyes and a manly voice, she wanted to use a rough voice to give herself courage and let the man understand that she was not easy to mess with. But the man didn't even look at her and said, "I'm He Dudong, we used to play together when we were children, you forgot so quickly, our mothers are still classmates." ”

Fan Xiaoxiao excitedly pulled the scarf on her head and jumped up from her seat: "Are you really He Dudong!?"

For Fan Xiaoxiao, a friend of the opposite sex who played with her when she was a child, and the only friend of the opposite sex, is He Dudong. If it weren't for the fact that their mothers were both college classmates and company colleagues, Fan Xiaoxiao would not have been able to play with He Dudong in the mud when she was wearing open crotch pants.

Until now, Fan Xiaoxiao can still remember the first time when she was four years old, when a boy said to her in front of her mother and his mother, "I want to marry you as a wife." How flattered I was. But later, when the two began to prepare for the fourth grade of primary school, their father took himself and his mother to the province because of job transfers, Fan Xiaoxiao still vaguely remembers that when they left, Dusk and his parents came to say goodbye, and when the truck full of furniture started, only Dusk ran behind the car crying until his parents caught up and picked him up.

At first, the mother kept in touch with Twilight's mother, but as the years changed, the intersection between the two became less and less, and now the two families have no contact. It seems that no matter how strong the wall of friendship is, if it is not maintained regularly, it will collapse one day.

Now, Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the angular mature man beside her, and couldn't connect him with the reckless little chubby dun when he was a child. Because at this moment, He Dudong, who drives a luxury car, is no longer an ordinary person.

Four years ago, Fan Xiaoxiao, who was still studying in college, was suddenly attracted by a stack of new books when she visited the bookstore, and the stack of new books not only looked very fresh in packaging, but more importantly, the propaganda newspaper next to the new book booth, which read "The works of the new young writer Dongguang", Dongguang? Who gave himself such a funny pen name, it is better to call it winter melon directly, when Fan Xiaoxiao saw the word "winter light" for the first time, she almost didn't laugh out loud in the quiet bookstore.

But it was this funny pseudonym that prompted the curious Fan Xiaoxiao to walk towards the new book booth, she picked up an unsealed book, and couldn't wait to turn to the page of the author's profile. Unfortunately, there is no photo of the author on the introduction, which makes Fan Xiaoxiao, who wants to see the author's appearance, very disappointed, but when her eyes swept over the first line of the text introduction, she was attracted by those words: Dongguang, formerly known as He Dudong, a young writer .......

It turns out that Dongguang is not the author's original name, the author's original name is He Dudong, He Dudong!?

"What do you like to eat?" a concerned question pulled Fan Xiaoxiao back to reality, Fan Xiaoxiao looked at He Dudong with a puzzled expression: "What...... What to eat. He Dudong looked helpless: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll invite you to dinner tonight, and you're hungry in protest." ”

"How do you know I'm hungry? Xiaoxiao caressed her rumbling belly, and she didn't remember to eat dinner when she was busy working overtime.

He Dudong glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao, who had wide eyes and innocent written on her face, and turned her head away with a smile, feeling as if goosebumps had on his body. "Well, your stomach screamed several times just now, and everyone knows you're hungry...... What do you want to eat, I invite you tonight, we haven't seen Fa Xiao for many years, we finally met, don't you have to celebrate. ”

"I can eat anything, I'm not a picky eater. Fan Xiaoxiao looked at He Dudong with a grateful face, to be honest, since she came to Beijing, she had never had a decent dinner.

"Then I'll take you to eat Western food, I know a 24-hour Western restaurant, after eating, I'll take you home. As soon as Fan Xiaoxiao heard that she was going to eat Western food, she suddenly came to her senses, and she was so excited that she didn't know how many "yes" she said. Fan Xiaoxiao secretly looked at He Dudong, she felt that although the handsome big boy next to her was close at hand, he exuded a sense of alienation and strangeness, even if he was in front of him, it seemed to be thousands of miles away.
