On the day I sent my brother to the dormitory, the coldest rain of the winter was floating in the sky. Qi Yun held an umbrella and wiped the face inlaid in the center of the marble carved stone platform with a paper towel little by little, always smiling like Maitreya Buddha. The marble table splashed with rain, dripping on the back of her hand, cold, and painful.

After all the rituals were completed, Qi Yun returned to the heated memorial hall, and couldn't help but shiver, his body that had already been frozen was revived inch by inch, but he didn't feel the warmth, but he only felt that the boundless melancholy and pain also woke up.

Someone took an old-fashioned black oilcloth umbrella and walked into the hall, it was an elderly man with raindrops on a large white ginger flower in his hand. Qi Yun glanced at the person and forced out a smile,

"Uncle Shaw...... It's great that you're here, and my brother must be very happy. Thank you. ”

Uncle Xiao saw Qi Yun and said in surprise:

"Xiaoyun, why is your face so ugly? Hey, what's the pain of crying like this? ”

"What, am I crying?" Qi Yun only felt inexplicable, stretched out the back of his hand to wipe his cheeks, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard his voice slightly hoarse, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Uncle Xiao held Qi Yun's hand, and a faint warmth was transmitted into Qi Yun's palm.

"Xiaoyun, go home quickly, drink a bowl of ginger soup, cover it with a quilt, and get up tomorrow morning...... It's a new day. ”

Qi Yun nodded. Uncle Xiao thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, just now on the edge of the long stone steps at the entrance of the dormitory, I saw a young woman wearing sunglasses, looking at the figure...... It's a bit like Kwong Sisi, if you go out now, you might still have time to talk to her......"

Qi Yun quickly interrupted Uncle Xiao's words: "Uncle, who is Kuang Sisi?" I don't recognize it. Besides, big stars wear sunglasses, and I'm not a star chaser, so I don't have to speak. “

Uncle Xiao showed a trace of pity and pity, held Qi Yun's hand a little tighter, and said with a pleasant face:

"In that case, let's go home and rest quickly, so as not to catch a cold."

Qi Yun meekly agreed, took his leather bag, and propped up his umbrella and rushed into the biting cold rain. She rushed down the hundreds of long stone steps at the entrance of the dormitory, and the sound of her heels hitting the stone steps was rapid and light, and there was a kind of frightening meaning in the bleak rain and cold wind. When she reached the last few stone steps, she slipped and fell into the muddy water.

There was a woman's voice behind her, and she screamed softly, and then it was also the sound of Qing Tingting's heels, which seemed to be about to come forward and help her up. Qi Yun sat in the mud, but he exhaled from his chest, turned behind him and scolded angrily:

"Don't come!"

The rain fell like Bai Lian, and the woman behind her was quite slender, dressed in plain white clothes, holding a black umbrella, and stood on the ground blankly after hearing Qi Yun's voice, because of the rain curtain, her face was not clear.

Qi Yun supported his body with his painful arm to get up, and couldn't help but sizzle slightly, his whole body was dripping with mud and water, and his black hair was drenched by the winter rain in an instant, sticking to his face, cold and piercing.

But she was still like an enraged cat, staring at the shadow behind the rain and fog with a pair of big eyes, vigilantly looking at the shadow behind the rain and fog. Finally standing up, barely trying to get up and moving his muscles a little, he limped back.

"Qi Yun, you...... Be careful. The shadow in the rain and mist opened its mouth, infinitely sad.

"Kuang Sisi, why didn't you die?!"

Qi Yun finally shouted out the deepest sentence in his heart, and turned around and ran away with tears streaming down his face. There was a swaying wind and rain behind her, and the rain was so loud that she couldn't hear the reaction of the people behind her.

Did she answer? Are you crying? Or, is there a sound of heartbreak coming from behind you?

Qi Yun ran out of the gate of the dormitory with a sigh of relief. Thankfully, for the sake of sending her senior brother off for the first time today, she drove a BMW i3 that Lu Wei had prepared for her and had been parked in an underground parking lot near her unit. She ran to the side of the car, her hands trembling for a long time before she opened the door and got in.

Starting the car, turning on the heater and driving on the road, this series of actions did make Qi Yun feel like he was alive again, but the feeling of being alive was not necessarily good, at least she was drenched from head to toe now, her hair and clothes were sticky to her body, just now it was cold in the heart, and now she was baked by the heat, and she felt itchy in the heart, this feeling is probably not better than being a dead corpse in the grave.

Qi Yun drove the car as fast as he could, speeding aimlessly on an unknown road, and the scenery outside the window turned into two white veils in the winter rain. She trembled her hands, hesitantly took out her mobile phone from her bag, held the handlebar in her left hand, and pressed Lu Wei's phone number stiffly with a finger in her right hand.

Lu Wei's phone number, she didn't take the initiative to dial him for two or three years, but she still remembered.

The phone rang, and Lu Wei answered: "Xiaoyun, where have you gone?" I'm back from Beijing. ”

No matter what, Qi Yun's heart suddenly warmed. Even if the past is like a cloud, at such a time, his voice can still be heard...... Yes, as long as he is around, it is a great comfort.

Her voice trembled coldly, and she struggled to pronounce words, "Lu Wei, where are you?" I'm looking for you. I'll tell you: Senior brother, he ......"

"Xiaoyun," there was obvious hesitation in Lu Wei's voice, "No...... Not yet. ”

Qi Yun was puzzled: "What can't you?" ”

Lu Wei seemed to be very depressed, but he still said, "You can't come to me yet." That one...... My mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital last night for first aid, and He Miliang called me back from Beijing, so I had to accompany my mother-in-law in the hospital today. ”

Qi Yun's body shook, his heart seemed to have been peeled off a layer of skin, and he only heard a bitter smile in his ears:

"I see, you can get busy."

Lu Wei seemed to be explaining something over there. The car was moving fast, the mobile phone signal was interfered with, Lu Wei's voice became noisy and unclear, and occasionally a sharp murmur came.

Qi Yun turned off his phone, and the world was finally quiet.

She didn't know where to go, but she drove the car as fast as she could. The rain was so heavy that she turned on the wipers to the maximum power, but she still couldn't see the road in front of her clearly, countless water splashes bloomed on the front of the car, and it looked like a white and smoky fairyland in front of her.

He kept driving forward like this, until Qi Yun noticed that something seemed to be wrong in front of him, and then he braked suddenly. After stopping the car and taking a closer look, I found that the highway bridge in front of me was only half repaired, standing alone in mid-air, and there was no road ahead. If you didn't see it clearly just now and continued to rush up, although there is an isolation pier on the outermost side of the highway bridge construction, it is unlikely that she will have the opportunity to fall from mid-air and the car will be destroyed, but the car will be damaged when she hits the isolation pier, and the person will be hit by all kinds of meat and eight vegetarians, which is the best result expected.

Qi Yun leaned the car against the edge of the isolation pier and stopped, and slowly rolled down the window of the car by a line.

The rain slowly became a little lighter, and because of the broken road and the weather, there was not even a single other car in the range of Qi Yun's sight, let alone anyone else.

Qi Yun found a packet of unopened soft bags and a disposable lighter placed next to the brake of the car. The soft-pack Zhonghua is a cigarette that Lu Wei is used to smoking, probably left here when he bought a car. He never took it apart, because since he bought this car, he rarely came to meet Qi Yun again, let alone drive out for a walk together.

Qi Yun silently unpacked the package, took a slender cigarette and lit it between his fingers. She had never smoked before, and it took a long time to light it, and the choking smell of tobacco made her eyes sore for a while, but it was very similar to the smell on Lu Wei's body.

This smell was in the car with almost all the windows closed, for a long, long time, but finally it dissipated.

The rain stopped. Qi Yun opened the car door, jumped to the side of the repaired highway bridge, and looked into the distance.

She froze for a moment at what she saw, and muttered, "This is it." ”

Under the highway bridge is a new city that is breaking ground, countless huge tower cranes are like the hand of God, and high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But how could she forget that when she accompanied Lu Wei here for an internship, how dilapidated and desolate this place was, because there was a thermal power plant nearby, and even the blades of grass were covered with dust.

Qi Yun leaned out on the half-repaired viaduct and looked out, and finally, he saw it.

Not far from her feet, a small street is still the same as it was at the beginning, and the sign at the entrance of the "Sweet Honey Hotel" has just been washed by the rain, and it looks like new from a distance, and it does not look as funny and erotic as it used to be.

How did she come back here without even realizing it?

…… She still remembers the night she stayed at the "Sweet Honey Hotel", when it snowed heavily at night, and she was so cold that she shrunk in bed. His thoughts were flying endlessly, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door slamming. Qi Yun jumped up from the bed in shock.

It turned out that it was Lu Wei who came to bring her a quilt, Qi Yun opened the door wide with a bang, and then slammed into Lu Wei's arms. Lu Wei walked in a hurry, his hair and eyelashes were covered with snow, and he was holding a thick quilt in his hand, and he could barely withstand her bump.

Qi Yun beat him unrelentingly. When he put the quilt in his hand on the bed in the hotel, he shrunk into his arms, and said aggrievedly how cold and scared he was in the middle of the night...... Lu Wei felt Qi Yun trembling lightly in his arms, and couldn't help hugging her tightly, and gently coaxed: "It's okay." Am I not here? The quilt was also brought to you. ”

Qi Yun hugged his neck tightly and choked up:

"I don't care, I won't let you go today anyway."

……

Qi Yun covered his eyes and slowly squatted down.

She knew that the construction of a new city on such a scale, a small "sweet hotel", would soon be swept away by the autumn wind that rose overnight like a grasshopper after midsummer.

This should be a good thing, the bald and big-bellied Ou Jisan, after getting the demolition money, can go to a distant coastal town, and reunite with his wife who is there to watch his daughter's children, as well as his daughter and grandson.

In fact, even if the "Sweet Honey Hotel" will not be demolished forever, the pair of teenagers and girls who were once shy and confused, and couldn't stop the joyful birds chirping in their hearts, will only exist in memory.

And in this real world, the waves of fate rise and fall, and they have long been drowned behind the crowd.

Lu Wei's soul is no longer the same as it was at the beginning. And she is no longer the girl who was lonely and brave and not afraid of heaven and earth.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and a soft laugh rang in her ears. "Lu Wei!" Qi Yun sweated and complained, "You go slowly!" “

"Don't you see what time it is? A sucker. Lu Wei frowned, reached out and took the schoolbag behind her back and carried it on his back. You're stupid! Qi Yun simply stood still, crossed his waist and quarreled with him: "The ground here is so uneven, and there are so many intersections, you are still walking so fast, beware that after a while, we will lose each other!" “

Qi Yun opened his eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on his pale face.

- Later, they did lose each other. Never to get it back.
