These days, a cold wind has blown in N City, this should be the first time that it has cooled down since October, Jia Yi took out the newly bought scarf from his bag, tie-dyed pink and yellow, retro ethnic style, wrapped around his neck, and then put on a thin cotton and linen coat and went out.

On her first day after recovering from her illness, she went to the store to check on the completion of the renovation.

I don't know if it's because of the wind, the wall paint dries very quickly, the texture of the stucco is also very good, a corner of the wall is pulled with a hemp rope that is not thick or thin, and the photo given by Mark is hung, and it is spread out in a streamlined manner, like strolling in the original Nanbin Park, holding one end at a time, one scene after another.

"It's okay, right?" Jia Yi, who was in a daze, was frightened, but immediately realized that it was Jiang Yuan's voice, he didn't know when he also came to the store, his tone was full of pride, Jia Yi only tilted his head slightly, gave him a thumbs up, and immediately added: "However, the person who took the picture is not a small credit." ”

Jiang Yuan laughed a few times, and suddenly said, "Mark, someone is praising you!" ”

What the? Mark is here too?! Jia Yi was caught off guard, and turned around suddenly, only to find Mark in a trench coat standing behind her, her cheeks immediately flushed, and she only lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Jiang Yuan seemed to notice something, and glanced at Mark with bad intentions, and said directly: "Look at this girl, her face is red." ”

Mark didn't respond much to Jiang Yuan, only said: "It's mainly the credit of Jiang Yuan's team." ”

Jia Yi bit her lip and didn't say anything more, only chagrin in her heart.

Mark had brought a computer with him this time, and he had promised to help Jia Yi make a series of postcards and promotional bookmarks for the old scenery of the South Shore Garden.

"Won't it bother you too much?" Jia Yi was a little reluctant.

Mark didn't look at her, just stared at the pictures on the computer, and said with a smile: "No, when the finished product comes out, you will be responsible for buying the printed order." ”

Jiang Yuan immediately interjected: "Mark, you are not kind to this, if it were me, I would directly print it for Jia Yi and then give it to her, and mention the matter of paying for it or not, designing these things is too simple for you." ”

Jia Yi was about to relieve Mark, but Mark looked at him at this time, narrowed his mouth into a slit as if he was thinking about something, and quickly released his lips and said, "If Miss Liang needs it, I will ...... it too"

Why did he suddenly call himself Miss Liang?!

His sudden politeness made Jia Yi feel inexplicable, as if he had abandoned their relationship to the point of strangers at once, which undoubtedly negated all the efforts she had made to get close to him some time ago, and she immediately replied dissatisfied: "Of course you can't trouble Mr. Zhang, he has already helped me so much." ”

This was deliberately said by Jia Yi to Mark, and she wanted to respond to "politeness" with "politeness".

Mark stared at her blankly for a moment, his eyes fixed in confusion, as if he had met Jia Yi for the first time, but he didn't say anything, and quickly lowered his head and flipped through the photos on the computer.

Jia Yi suddenly regretted it, the softness that had been disguised for so long still inadvertently showed her edge, and her body was full of thorns, which made people hurt, so she had to excuse herself to help the two of them pour water and drink and leave.

Crush is like this, obviously I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm always worried about losing, most of the people's hearts are suffering from what they have paid, those who are lingering and full of expectations but are not without complaints.

And she is even more sensitive and fragile when she thinks about pretending in front of Mark all the time, and a breeze can dry her up and crack, and the mountains and rivers are discolored.

Love never begins but drains a lifetime in an imaginary.

Jiang Yuan suddenly answered the phone, only threw out the sentence "If you have any questions about the project, please contact us at any time" and left in a hurry.

Only Jia Yi and Mark were left in the room, and the atmosphere was even more awkward than the last time on the mountain, because the last time it was at least calm, and this time the silence between them had a bit of a gunpowder smell.

But she couldn't bear it, no matter what Mark did, he was the embodiment of beauty and hope in her eyes, and the kind of beauty that missed a second was enough to regret the rest of her life, and she was unwilling to miss it like this.

She walked up to him, handed him the water, and said, "I only have plain water, would you mind having a drink?" ”

Mark closed the computer, took the water glass, and said with a smile, "Of course not, did you get better from your cold last time?" ”

"Well, it's much better." Her feelings were obviously much more relaxed than just now.

"I heard that you fell asleep outside as soon as you got back." His tone was not inquiry, but more like a statement of something he had occasionally heard.

"Uh-huh. It's so tiring. Jia Yi also responded briefly.

"It's often better not to rush to rest after a workout......," he advises.

This made Jia Yi very moved, and it was another warm current. She nodded again and again, "Mmmm, not next time." At this time, she stood in front of Mark like a child, and she was willing to answer honestly to whatever he said, she wanted him to see her incomparably soft appearance, and she no longer wanted to care about the "polite" conversation, not to care about the breeze, because only at this moment, she was as abundant and rich as before.

At this moment, in his own shop, the beloved sat quietly in a corner, with a computer in front of him, drinking what she had made, of course, it was just a cold drink.

What had been in his mind was now so real, except that he and she were real, everything else was prematurely imagined.

However, in the whole scene, isn't it him and her who are the most important?

The two discussed the things in the store, Mark was getting up and about to leave, Jia Yi suddenly walked forward, she really kept Mark: "Let's have a meal together and then leave?" ”

Mark didn't refuse, but asked, "Where to go?" ”

"It's near the South Shore."

"Lao Cai Ji!"

"Choi Kee Restaurant!"

The two said it almost at the same time, it was actually the same family, Jia Yi couldn't help but be very excited by this tacit understanding!

It is a Hong Kong-style restaurant near Nanbin that has been in business for many years, and the restaurant environment is actually very simple and there are not many customers. As soon as he sat down, Mark saw that the air conditioner was facing Jiayi's position, and hurriedly asked the waiter to change his position.

He has this kind of advantage, and the attributes of the warm man in the meticulous can be seen at a glance.

Such a man, why can't the relationship start and end well?

That woman really doesn't know how to cherish it.

Jia Yi, who sat down, looked outside the restaurant, this is an old street in Nanbin that has not yet had time to be renovated, it is said that it will be preserved and built into a new cultural street.

Urbanization is a very ruthless process, it will force an urban area to accelerate its growth, accelerate assimilation, in this acceleration, some cumbersome buildings and traditions have to be discarded or invited into museums, seemingly ruthless, but for the people who live in it, perhaps the most affectionate, this is a change that everyone has to accept in order to survive, and the memory of memory will eventually prompt people to regain something worth believing in.

"Why do you have a special affection for Minamihama?" Jia Yi asked, looking at Mark.

Mark hesitated, thought for a moment, and told Jia Yi a story of his own.

When he was very young, Mark's parents worked at work, and they would only come home when they left work very late, but often by this time, Mark was already asleep. So for a long time, he went to school alone, went home alone, and played alone. At that time, there were people at school who bullied him, and they chased him all the way, and he ran hard, because he loved to run more when he was a child, so he ran very fast, but he was also prone to losing his direction.

He didn't know which street he ran to, but he remembered that it was very quiet, there were quilts everywhere, and there were people walking their dogs with their children everywhere, and when he ran here, many people looked at this little boy who was panting and carrying a school bag, and suddenly he felt a sense of security, he felt that those people chased here, and they must not dare to do anything to him.

Sure enough, the bad students at the school all saw the people around them, and they all looked at them with strange eyes.

Mark emboldened himself and swaggered around the streets, finally hopping on a bus and returning home safely while they weren't looking.

Since then, Mark has a special affection for Nanbin, and when he was assigned volunteer day activities at school, he took the initiative to apply to go to Nanbin District, and gradually had a lot of contact with the people here.

"Nanbin is really different from other districts, it's very backward, but the people here retain a sense of local simplicity," Mark suddenly summed up the story.

"That's why you care so much about the old days in Nanhama?" Jia Yi asked.

Mark nodded, paused, then looked at Jia Yi seriously and asked, "Do you believe it?" I feel like Nanhama is my home. ”

Jia Yi was moved by his sincerity and nodded, but couldn't help frowning: "Actually...... Because of your family's situation, were you particularly insecure when you were a child? ”

Mark nodded and said, "It's a bit ......"

Jia Yi sighed slightly and said, "Then let me tell you a story now." ”

- When she was very young, there was a girl who was a left-behind child, and instead of waiting for her parents to get off work, she might not be able to see her parents for a long time, and she lived in someone else's house, so she was insecure from an early age. Fortunately, within a few years, she returned to her parents, but this sense of security did not need to be enhanced, but continued to weaken, the parents who worked frequently quarreled, and her father favored sons over daughters. She chose to live on campus and did not dare to face it. Later, when she went to college, she often came to Nanbin alone, because she often saw that parents are always with their children, boys and girls are always carefree and playing in the park, and when the lights are on, every light is imaginably warm, because everyone is close to everyone.

Later, in the saddest days of graduation, she couldn't tell her parents about the pressure of finding a job, so she came to Nanbin again, as if she could find someone to talk to here. Later, I didn't expect my graduation thesis to be inspired here.

When Jia Yi and Mark told this story, they were a little relaxed at first, but when she recalled the time in college, the corners of her eyes were still a little wet, but she still held on to her feelings.

Mark handed her a tissue in time and said with deep feeling: "The story is not over yet, now that girl is starting a business in Nanbin, right?" ”

Jia Yi couldn't help but laugh and nodded.

Two stories related to Nanbin don't seem to have anything to do with Nanbin, this city just happened to appear in front of these two children who didn't enjoy the warmth of the family, and they didn't do anything, let the two children fight with their memories and imagine at will.

But it was precisely the coincidence of patchwork and imagination that moved Jia Yi, and she was glad that she had lost her armor all the way, and finally came here, and saw the same soft notch on Mark's body. They can bridge, at least she's more than willing to fill that gap, where she can sprout and blossom.
