After the snow, the blue sky is like a wash, the white clouds are blooming, and the entire Qihai City is covered with white snow, and it is covered in silver.

Liang Ju got off the bus, crossed the crosswalk, and walked all the way inside along the road signs for Shape.

This location belongs to a relatively concentrated business district in Qihai City, although there are not many high-rise buildings, but most of the Qihai trading companies are still concentrated here.

The path is a small uphill, Liang Ju walked for about 20 minutes, has passed through the original high-rise buildings, looking up, the top floor of the small slope presents several low blue brick houses residential area.

Liang Ju hesitated, did she make a mistake, didn't Mao Dong rent an office?

She called Shar Pei again to make sure, but Sha Pei said to her with certainty: "Yes, you can do what I say." ”

After walking for less than five minutes, Liang Ju finally saw a red brick bungalow, and a sign with black letters on it that read 'Northern Trading Company' in front of the door.

She walked back and forth in front of the door a few times.

Liang Ju held his chin in one hand and thought for a moment before taking a few steps forward and peeking in through the only window.

The glass was thickly frozen with a layer of ice, and there were many vague scratches on it, through which only vaguely I could see a figure walking back and forth inside, the room was a little dark, Liang Ju's eyes were wide, and his eyeballs were about to fall out, and he still couldn't see it clearly.

The people inside seemed to be aware of the people outside, and Liang Ju noticed that the figure stopped in front of the window for a moment, and then walked towards the door.

Before she could react, the door was pushed open from the inside with a click.

The owner of the room opened the door, and at that moment, Liang Ju couldn't describe what it was like.

Sad, she blamed him for not saying anything; Unwillingly, he returned to the original point like this.

And more, it is still distressing.

Mao Dong appeared at the door wearing a light gray sweater, and his face was full of surprise.

"Why are you here?" He looked at her, "Shapi brought you here?" ”

Liang Ju bit his mouth and shook his head.

She didn't know what to say, which was very different from what he had originally been.

Mao Dong knew that this incident was very unexpected for Liang Ju.

"Come in." He opened the door completely, "It's small, but it's warm. ”

Liang Ju took a step with difficulty, every step, every scene in front of her, for her, it was very sad and distressing.

The whole house was less than forty square meters, a table full of books and various materials was placed under the window in the middle of the room, there was an open notebook on the table, and on the other side of the room, there was a two-seater sofa by the wall, on which a thick quilt was neatly folded. In addition to the sofa and desk, there was a small coffee table, and at this time a box of steaming instant noodles was placed on it, next to a bag of small pickles.

"Will you sit down for a moment?"

Liang Ju stood at the door and looked at the whole bedroom, Mao Dong stood behind her a little helpless, he hurriedly went to the kitchen outside to pour her a cup of hot water. He took the glass and tried to bring it to her, but the hand he had just stretched out retracted.

He looked at her, and for the first time, Liang Ju saw embarrassment, crampedness, and helplessness on Mao Dong's face.

Suddenly, her eyes ached, and it hurt like something was about to pour out.

"I've got something to eat for you." She raised the lunch box in her hand and squeezed a smile at him with difficulty, "Do you have a kitchen at home?" ”

"Yes." He turned around as if he was going to take her, but Liang Ju hurriedly grabbed him, "No need, I'll come by myself." ”

She took a few steps, stopped, and turned to look at him, who was still standing there looking at her.

Liang Ju stretched out his hand and took the glass of water that he was still holding in his hand, which was originally poured for her.

She looked at him and smiled, smiling as she drank all the warm water.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and lowered his hand slightly.

"I'm fine," he said. ”――

Liang Ju made a total of three dishes and a soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised carp and shrimp fried celery, and the soup was sea rice and winter melon soup.

She served each dish hot one by one, and the carp was a little hot, so hot that she quickly put down the plate and touched her ears.

"Hot?" Mao Dong hurriedly got up from the sofa and took her hand to take a closer look.

Liang Ju sneered, "It's okay to burn it, I'm not that delicate, how about you taste it." ”

took out a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen and handed them to Mao Dong, Liang Ju said proudly: "I made these myself." ”

She sat on the couch next to him, chin on crutch and watched him eat.

"Have you eaten?" He asked, tilting his head.

"Eat, how could I, the chef, be hungry."

Mao Dong sat on the sofa, looked at the meal full of the entire coffee table, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

She could clearly sense his crampedness.

Now he is very unconfident and unaccustomed to facing her in this state.

Liang Ju's smile gradually fixed on her face, and she glanced at the bowl of instant noodles on the side of the coffee table that she hadn't had time to eat, and she saw several bags of instant noodles in the trash can in the kitchen just now. There was a small Xiaoice box in the kitchen, Liang Ju opened it and saw that it was empty, except for a few empty bowls in the kitchen cupboard, and then a large bag of instant noodles that had not yet been opened.

"Brother Mao Dong" she opened her mouth sneeringly, biting her lip, trying to force back the tears in her eyes.

Mao Dong looked up at her.

She asked, "Shar Pei said you gave them a sum of money, was that money the money you used to sell the house?" ”

Mao Dong obviously didn't know that Liang Ju could know about it. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly: "Not all." ”

"Brother Mao Dong, can you sue me, how did you pay for the money you lost?" Liang Ju wanted to know the truth, and deliberately softened his voice, with a little coquettishness.

Mao Dong is cold by nature, and I don't know if he will eat her.

"I borrowed it from a friend."

"Which friend would lend you so much!"

Mao Dong's house Liang Ju has been to it, and I have the impression that according to the housing prices in Qihai City for one or three years, the location is convenient, and the house is a new house, so it can be sold for more than one million.

"Eat quickly, don't get cold."

Liang Ju got up and went to the kitchen to pour Mao Dong a glass of water, glanced at the instant noodle bag in the trash can, and when she sat back on the sofa, she asked Mao Dong: "Can I come to bring you meals often in the future?" She stared at him.

Seeing that he was silent, she hurriedly said: "I won't delay my homework, I can go to my cousin's house to do it, it's very close to here, and I won't disturb your work, I see that after you finish eating, can I leave?" ”

Mao Dong sat there with his eyes lowered.

He was silent, she was nervous.

"Forget it." He muttered for a long time, then spoke softly.

"Why?" She looked at the side of his face, her eyes probing. She thought he was doing the same to her

His raised dark eyes stayed on her face for only a few seconds before moving away. He pursed his thin lips, even though he had thousands of words to say, he could only hide them in his heart.

Liang Ju shook his head, "You think we are not suitable?" ”

He was silent.

"How do you know if it's suitable or not, if you don't touch each other? You like to be quiet, but I like to be lively, you don't want to say anything, but I want to tell you all my thoughts, you are calm, I am lively, Brother Mao Dong, you see, isn't this complementary? ”

Mao Dong stared at the plates of dishes on the table that were gradually cold, and did not say a word.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid you'll treat me badly? ”

She could only see his side face, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked very unconfident.

Liang Ju said: "I don't force you, but I hope you can not be so arbitrary, you should give us a chance to touch, if you feel that I make you disgusted after a period of contact, and you don't want to see me, then I will definitely not pester you again." Brother Mao Dong, I know something about you."

Mao Dong's eyelashes trembled violently, and Liang Ju reached out to hold his arm, "Although I don't quite understand what you think in your heart, I know that you have pressure and burden." ”

Liang Ju raised a hand and said to him very strictly: "I swear, I won't disturb your life during this time, if you let me go, I'll go, even if I'm here, I'll be a good baby very quietly, you can completely treat me as air." ”

Mao Dong couldn't help laughing, "I treat you as air, how can I try to contact you?" ”

"Huh?" Liang Ju raised his hand and looked at him blankly.

"Alright." Mao Dong put down the hand that Liang Ju had sworn to, and only a few seconds of contact between the hands of the two people made Liang Ju's heart beat faster.

He looked at her and whispered, his voice softer.

"I still have a lot to do, and those things involve my family."

His expression was stern, and the words he said made Liang Ju mention in his heart, "What are you referring to, is it your brother's business?" ”

Mao Dong looked at her for a long time before nodding slowly.

He took a deep breath, Mao Bei's death could not be as simple as that.

In 2009, Liang Ju was still in her third year of high school, although she was in love and faced with heavy academic exams, she still vaguely remembered that the case still caused an uproar in Qihai City at that time, and in the evening, the small shops near the scene of the crime closed early, and this matter became the hottest topic among the people after dinner.

"Not only that, but I'm poor, and I won't be like that again for at least a few years," he looked up at her, his gaze focused, "This house is the only thing I have now, and I still rent it." ”

Liang Ju waited for his next words for some reason.

"Your life has just begun, you will find a good job after graduation, you will meet a man who may make you admire more than me, maybe, you are just a momentary heartbeat now, after a period of time, maybe, you will no more"

"Wrong! Miss by a mile! Liang Ju suddenly stood up from the sofa, "You are not me, how can you know my mood!" ”

Mao Dong stared up at her in a daze.

"I know you want to say, you are older than me, you are very serious about feelings, but I am also very serious about feelings, although I am a little stupid, but I also hope to find a man who can take care of me! What's wrong with being poor? You also said that my life has just begun, and I still have a lot of time to rebuild our beautiful future with you, although you eat more salt than me, but I also put a lot of salt in the soup, how can you think that all your opinions must be correct! You can't use your experience of facing this society for a few years more than me to deny my emotional attitude, which is extremely disrespectful and unfair to me! ”

Liang Ju's painting style suddenly changed, and he said so much in one breath, completely no longer playing the role of gentleness before, and revealing his original hearty and a little silly character.

"And!" She suddenly turned around and pointed to the plates of dishes specially made for Mao Dong on the coffee table, "How can you look at me like that, I am a very serious and good child, I got up early this morning to buy vegetables, and specially made so many delicious dishes to give to you," she pointed to the room again, "I heard that you sold your house and moved, do you know how distressed I am, I came here by trekking through mountains and rivers, not to hear you say 'we are not suitable'!" ”

The more he talked, the more he felt aggrieved, and Liang Ju held his mouth, and he actually had a tendency to open his mouth to cry.

When Mao Dong saw Liang Ju like this, he immediately panicked. He wanted to say something to persuade him, but he had no experience. "Liang Ju, you"

"Don't speak! Do you know how hurtful what you just said? Sure enough, she sat down on the couch and put her arms over her face and began to cry.

Mao Dong froze completely, he had never seen a girl who could cry like this, and he didn't know what to say a word.

I can't help it, I won't persuade her, and I'm worried that saying the wrong thing will make her even more sad.

When she cried, he went to get tissues for her and handed them to her one by one.

"Woo, more!" Liang Ju snorted and tears on her whole face, she stretched out her hand to him, and Mao Dong was stunned.

"What do you want?"

She pointed to the paper in his arms, "Tissue! ”

"Oh, okay, it's all for you."

She wiped the tears from her face with a piece of paper, blew her nose loudly again, and suddenly, the cry became louder again.

Liang Ju made Mao Dong's brain cry and hurt.

There is no way, if this continues, he is afraid that residents passing by the door will call the police and say that he has abducted and trafficked children.

Mao Dong leaned closer to Liang Ju, raised his hand and gently stroked her back, which was half around her.

"Okay, I was wrong, don't cry."

The cry of "woo, woo" has a tendency to gradually rise.

Mao Dong scratched his head anxiously, if this woman cries, she can really kill people, let alone cry like this.

"Okay, you'll come and bring me food later, okay!"

"Woo woo woo? True or false? ”

A little face was crying with tears and rain, and the mascara was all pasted around the eyes, black, like a red panda.

Mao Dong remembered the first chance encounter between the two four years ago, and she also had tears on her face. He smiled lightly, pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe it quickly, little flower cat." ”

"Ah, that must be ugly, don't don't." Liang Ju obediently wiped his eyes, and didn't forget to ask Mao Dong, "You agreed, agree that I can come here often?" ”

Mao Dong glanced at her, although there was displeasure on his face, but there was undoubtedly a doting look in his eyes. "Well, agreed."

"Oh, that's great!" Liang Ju raised his hands and cheered, like a child, Mao Dong looked at her and smiled.

"And also!" Liang Ju stretched out his arm towards Mao Dong.

He thought she needed a tissue, so he pulled out another one and handed it to her.

"It's not." She didn't ask for tissues.

"What's that?"

"Hug! Just like that! ”

She still had tears on her face, but she smiled excitedly and opened her arms to him.
