Qi Yun was lying on the bed in a small hotel in the county seat, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Because there was a stale smell of the night in the room, she reached out and opened the window with a small slit. Outside the window, the bright moon passed through the white lotus-like clouds, and the moonlight cast on the floor of the small inn as if it had formed a thin layer of frost. The sound insulation of the walls of the small hotel is not very good, and Qi Yun has been hearing Hong Jian's TV with the noise on it all night, constantly watching the news, international news, central news, local news, and all kinds of news...... Qi Yun had never known that the newscaster's Mandarin could be so noisy, and the noise gave her a headache, but she didn't want to go over to remind Hong Jian to be quiet, now she is like Alice who suddenly fell into a fantasy, listening to the sound of Hong Jian's room, she can feel that it is a companion who has "crossed" together from the world she is familiar with.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the movement on Hong Jian's side disappeared, and the night fell silent all of a sudden, and it didn't take long for the sound of steady and long breathing from next door, Qi Yun still didn't have a trace of sleepiness, helplessly tossing and turning on the bed to make cakes, hearing Hong Jian's sleeping breathing, he was almost a little jealous to the point of resentment, almost wanting to knock on the wall and wake him up to talk to him.

But it's just a matter of thinking. Qi Yun pursed his lips, not to mention that Hong Jian had a poker face on her now, even if he took gentle care of himself like he did when he was a child, after all, they were already adults now. What's more, in the eyes of outsiders, they can be regarded as a good match, and even their own mother deeply feels that they have the possibility of becoming a pair of "beautiful people". At present, such a lonely man and widow, living in two rooms separated by a wall that is only too thin to be thin, this situation is indescribably weird, and then wake him up to talk to himself? I don't need to say anything about it, and I feel that it is unbearable.

If it was in an idol drama, she had just fallen out of love and was in pain, and a "good" brother fell from the sky, and followed her to a place of poor mountains and bad waters, acting as a flower messenger all the way...... Although his ability to protect flowers as a messenger is limited, he has a very good set of flowers, but isn't this exactly the bridge that some idol drama screenwriters who specialize in using their toes to conceive plots like to use? Hehe, if it was in an idol drama, presumably the next plot would take a sharp turn, arranging for her to not know Hong Jian, so she found her true destiny and threw the former Lu Wei who bullied her and hurt her out of the clouds! Of course, the perfect finale also includes Lu Wei regretting it at the last moment, crying bitterly and asking to get back together with her, only to see her back in a sports car in a white wedding dress, and she disappeared in the wind......

She thought so beautifully that she covered her mouth and barely laughed. However, Qi Yun still knows herself, although she usually talks and laughs with boys, she seems to be as unrestrained as a buddy, but in fact, she is quite measured in her heart. In getting along with Hong Jian, although adults, especially her mother, have "bad intentions", her Qi Yun's heart is snow-white! She is straightforward by nature, and she is most disgusted with the kind of girl who drags mud and water, love is love, and if you don't love, you don't love. She has even seen a lot of female classmates, who deliberately pretend to be stupid knowing that the other party likes her, enjoying the other party's ambiguity, care and even economic gifts, and when it comes, she blinks pitifully with a pair of big eyes: "I have always regarded you as a brother!" ”

- Brother and sister! Qi Yun has a very iron buddy for some reason, who has repeatedly broken in front of this kind of girl who loves to pretend to be stupid, and every time he encounters Waterloo, he will run to Qi Yun to complain, Qi Yun angrily pointed his finger at his useless brain: "You ask her, will she allow her brother to secretly hold her hand when they watch blockbuster movies together?" Will she acquiesce to her brother kissing her face after he gives her a Swarovski necklace, and will she still blush and smile? Will she? Return brother, hum! Their family is enough to **! ”

Unexpectedly, that buddy changed color: "Qi Yun, why are you talking so vulgarly?" Who would dare to marry a girl like you in the future? ”

Qi Yun was anxious: "You dog bites Lu Dongbin!" I'm not upset for you! Whoever dares to marry me doesn't have to worry about you, anyway, if you can't marry again, it won't bother you if you smash my parents! ”

But in the sleepless night of this small hotel in the county seat, Qi Yun thought of his buddy's words and suddenly became sad for no reason, who would marry a girl like her? It turned out that he thought that he and Lu Wei would be together forever, and the relationship between the four years of college was not fake, but why did he break up with her so indifferently and was indifferent to the news that she had gone to a remote mountainous area to teach? He doesn't really love himself? If the four years of college are so close that all the eyes and memories are fake—then, what exactly is trustworthy love?

When she was a child, she really liked Hong Jian. She and Hong Jian are both children who grew up in the provincial government compound. Hong Jian is seven years older than her, she is the child king in the courtyard, fighting over the wall, catching birds and climbing trees, and her grades are too good to be good. Boys of that age usually hate five or six-year-old girls the most, half aged, disgusted with this and that, love to be coquettish, love to cry and cry endlessly, but Hong Jian is willing to take Qi Yun to play. And although Qi Yun was curled by his mother's hair, wearing the most foreign pink gauze skirt and white leather shoes in the hospital, he looked like a foreign girl, but he was not squeamish at all. Hong Jian sometimes leads his "subordinates" to do a difficult "task", such as drilling several miles of underground air-raid shelters, the air-raid shelters are pitch black, dusty and cobwebs, and there are many "dark elf" creatures haunted, many usually sassy boys dare not go down or retreat without taking a few steps, and some of them followed, but they were scared to cry their fathers and mothers halfway, Hong Arrow had to arrange for them to return the same way, so they dragged their feet, and when they reached the exit at the other end of the bomb shelter, Hong Jian's "team" had collapsed, And the three people who followed him silently, in addition to the two boys who were older than him and usually more "wild", there was also a little Qi Yun who was printed with a gray head but a resolute face and a small mouth. At that time, Hong Jian asked in surprise: "Qi Yun, are you afraid?" Qi Yun replied with a smile: "Brother Ah Jian is here, I'm not afraid." ”

At that time, she really trusted Hong Jian. I feel that Hong Jian is a person who is more worthy of trust than his parents, if the sky falls, Hong Jian is so powerful, he will definitely be able to block it. She is the same, she is too good to Hong Jian without any reservations, and all her best things have to be taken out and shared with Hong Jian.

But at that time, her liking for Hong Jian, just as Hong Jian liked her at that time, was a faint joyful mood. If you like someone, you will be happy together, and if you love someone, you will be inexplicably lost together; Like someone is always joy, and loving someone will often make people cry; Like someone, you will smile when you think of him, love someone, when you think of him will be in a daze with the sky; To like a person is to appreciate his strengths, and to love someone is to tolerate all his shortcomings.

All in all, liking is like a mood, and love, that's an emotion. Qi Yun was thinking wildly, when suddenly a tight bell broke the silence of the night, which made Qi Yun shiver and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

It's Hong Jian's mobile phone ringtone. Qi Yun has repeatedly complained to Hong Jian, why did he turn the ringtone of his mobile phone into the sound of a fire truck? Scared to death does not pay for life. Hong Jian's answer is naturally extremely cold: they are dedicated and ethical journalists, they are all rushing news like fighting fires, and the reason why they are turned into firefighters is also so that they will not be annihilated in the sound of the market, and they can be heard in time no matter how noisy the environment is.

In this regard, Qi Yun's attitude was to roll his eyes three times at the sky, showing disdain. But obviously, this late-night phone call was indeed like a soul-chasing call who came to predict the fire, and she heard Hong Jian's voice change greatly after hearing a question on the phone, and said one after another:

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away! …… Fastest speed! ”

Hong Jian hung up the phone. Qi Yun was still confused, and he didn't understand what the "immediately" in Hong Jian's mouth meant, but he only heard the sound of a gust of wind on Hong Jian's side, and then there were two not light or heavy, but clear and powerful sound of slamming the door to Qi Yun's ears.

"Why?" Qi Yun sat up.

"Uh...... Yunyun, woke you up? Let's go back to sleep in a moment. I'm just telling you, I have an urgent task to get out of here at the earliest tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to take you to the village tomorrow...... You're all right, right? ”

Speaking of the end, Hong Jian's always arrogant voice also came down, a little apologetic.

Of course I have a problem! Qi Yun clenched his fist and silently slammed the bed board. Flood Arrow! Yours is it! Leave me alone in this small county where birds don't? Waiting alone for tomorrow, an unknown farmer uncle will drive a farm car to pick him up? You, you, you...... You still swore to my uncle: "Uncle Qi, don't worry." ”

However, Qi Yun also obviously heard the phone call that Hong Jian answered, and he was so anxious that his voice changed tone, it seemed that it was really saving the scene like fighting a fire. Looking back, aren't all other volunteer teachers alone in the village? Could it be that there are flower messengers to send it? If someone else can do it, why can't I?

Qi Yun calmed down and said loudly outside the door:

"Didn't I make an appointment tomorrow with the village chief to send a car to pick me up, you can rest assured, I'm a 23-year-old adult with full civil capacity, just going to the countryside, what's not to deal with?"

Hong Jian was silent for a long time before he said:

"You should be careful alone, if something hits my phone. I...... When the business at hand is done, I will go to the village to help you settle down. ”

"Got it, you hurry up! I was okay and went back to sleep. ”

After Qi Yun finished speaking, he stopped making a sound and pretended to be asleep. She heard the man outside the door be silent for a moment, and then slowly walked away. From the narrow, creaking staircase, the sound of his long bag of camera equipment scraping against the floor.

Soon, the sound died down, and the night was quiet again. Qi Yun smiled in the darkness and wiped the tears that were pouring from his face. I don't know if the god of fate is convulsive, in the past six months, she has tasted the taste of being despised and even ignored again and again by her parents and friends who were held in the palm of her hand like the moon.

Qi Yun smiled bitterly. In fact, she has some understanding of Hong Jian, who grew up in a small compound, Hong Jian's favorite thing for a man will probably never be a woman, but his career and pursuit, he is the kind of man who values "public" and ignores "private", just like his father Uncle Hong, people all over the world praise Uncle Hong for his wisdom and wisdom, talent, and clean sleeves, but Qi Yun has been familiar with Aunt Qin since he was a child, and knows that the woman behind this kind of man is not without helplessness and grievances.

In fact, 7 years ago, Hong Jian almost abandoned her like this. At the age of 14, she was simply attached to Hong Jian, like a shadow attached to her own woods, but Hong Jian got an offer from the New York Academy of Photography, for the sake of his studies and future, he left without saying a word, not even saying goodbye, only after he crossed the ocean, only mentioned her in the letter sent by him.

Even Uncle Hong, who has always been iron-faced, brought this letter to him, and the expression on his face was like he was afraid of Qi Yun's tears. But since then, Qi Yun has wanted to hide all his tears in his heart. Although she woke up in her arms for many nights, she would also complain in her heart that she had always regarded Brother A Jian as closer than her relatives, you are afraid that I will cry so you don't say goodbye to me, is it that as long as my tears do not exist in your space, you can assume that I will not cry?

Later, Hong Jian was successful in his studies and career, so it can be said that he returned to China, but Qi Yun later learned that Hong Jian had lived in China for half a year before returning to his hometown, and because he had been doing his news, he had never bothered to see her.

Don't think of yourself as someone too important. Qi Yun stretched out his hands and feet self-deprecatingly and rolled over on the bed. Thinking about Lu Wei and thinking about Hong Jian, she encouraged herself to be fierce, to be strong, to do a good job, to show all those who have despised her consciously or subconsciously, she Qi Yun is a veritable thirteenth sister of chivalry.
