The north wind blows, the snowflakes float, the snowflakes flutter, the year ~~ comes~~ to~~~

The Chinese New Year is less than 10 days away, and I think this song is quite appropriate, so I can't help but hum it. Surrounded by mountains and snow, the lake in front of me with a hole carved out looked like a pool of stagnant water, and I had been sitting here for at least half an hour shivering with a boom.

Ji Xingyun told me that the last time he caught several fish weighing three or four pounds in fifteen minutes, I really doubt that he made up this excuse to lie to me because he didn't want me to go skiing with him.

After sitting stupidly for another twenty minutes, almost freezing, and still finding nothing, I brought up the fishing rod and prepared to go home.

That's when a hand came from behind and took my fishing rod. I looked up and saw Ji Xingyun standing behind me with his snowboards, snowflakes falling from his ears, and he bent his light brown eyes and asked me, "How many have you caught?" ”

I looked down at the empty bucket, and he looked down too, laughing as he squatted down and reloaded the bait: "Why, for the sake of compassion, all the fish caught have been released?" ”

I nodded affirmatively and said, "Why are you so smart?" ”

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, and threw the bait back into the water, and I sat quietly for a moment and asked him, "Are you really not going to go back with me in a few days?" What should I do with the Jia Lan Spring Auction? ”

He said: "I have friends who help me in China, and I just collect money. ”

I looked at the lake and smiled, "Looks like you really like it here." ”

But he said, "No." ”

When I heard this, I turned my face to look at him with some curiosity, and Ji Xingyun also looked down at me, paused for a while, and turned his head back: "It's to confirm something." ”

I didn't bother to ask him what was the matter, so I thought about it and said, "Hmm...... I think I've really benefited a lot from being with you in the past few months, and I've been guided by you, and if the painting that I put up for auction this time has a good price, I'll definitely invite you to play in a more interesting place. ”

He snorted and laughed twice, and after a while, he muttered, "If you have any unpleasant things over there, you can call me." ”

I was a little stunned, quiet for a few seconds, and then looked up and smiled at him: "Okay, but there shouldn't be anything that makes me unhappy...... And just go back, and come back to you after the New Year, don't bother me. ”

He smiled and didn't say anything, and after a few seconds, he suddenly retracted the rod hard, and I looked at the two or three palm-sized fish on the hook with a little surprise, and whispered a little angrily: "What's the matter, do you also look at your face when fishing?" ”

Ji Xingyun put the fish into the bucket, raised his deep and beautiful eyes and blinked: "Let's go." ”

Four days later, I returned to the city of N alone from Geneva airport, mainly because one of my paintings had been represented by the Garland auction house in the neighboring city for the spring auction. It was also Ji Xingyun who helped me pull the thread, and the first time I cooperated with them, I needed to come back and go through some procedures. Sitting on the plane and seeing the sea of neon lights in N City from the snowy white of the Alps, I felt like I hadn't been home for a long time.

Back at home, the family all tacitly did not mention the marriage contract between the Li family and the Qin family more than half a year ago, I think my father and Chen Qian should both know that I have a problem with Qin Yan, but they don't want to say it, so they don't break it. I don't think it's anything, it should be a good thing for my father's business to get in touch with the Qin family, but occasionally I think, why hasn't the Qin family announced it to the outside world yet, isn't Qin Yan in a hurry to marry Cen Jia at all? After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it was probably because of some business considerations, maybe they were secretly married.

After a two-day jet lag, I started to celebrate the Spring Festival after completing the auction procedures with Xiao Nan. That day, I called Liao Xiaofei to pay New Year's greetings, and she answered the phone and was stunned for a long time before she shouted: "You said you were back?" Damn, Alley, you finally cheated the corpse?! As soon as I heard that she was still familiar with this familiar recipe and familiar taste, I was immediately relieved, and I talked nonsense for a while, Liao Xiaofei had a birthday on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I told her that I found some rare original foreign movies for her when I was wandering abroad, and took them to her house to give her on her birthday, who knew that she said to me depressedly: "Ah, you don't know, I originally thought that I was very irritable when I didn't have you to watch a movie with me for the first time in more than ten years. It's too late to cancel now. ”

I said, "What's the matter, you play with yours, I'll give it to you the next day." ”

She said: "No, since you are all back, come and play with me together, in Yunhu Villa, two days and one night." ”

I froze for a moment, and after a few seconds said, "As soon as I come back, you're disgusted, right?" ”

Liao Xiaofei was also stunned for a moment, "Huh? What...... Oh, you said Cloud Lake Villa? No, you've been out to heal for eight months, and I thought you were too good to be clear. Moreover, this N city is full of their Qin family's territory, if you don't want to touch the scene, then you can only completely emigrate. ”

I said stiffly: "I don't care, but you think, I'm a divorced girl now, and in that kind of place, when everyone thinks about it, they will definitely cut me, so I can't pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows?" ”

Liao Xiaofei said ferociously: "Don't worry, who dares to laugh at you in front of me, I have to cut off their lips and drink!" Besides, how many people in our circle have always wanted to win you, the goddess of aesthetics, Athena, if you don't get married, it's too late for them to be happy, and at that time, there were still many people who said that Qin Yan's bastard old cow eats tender grass. ”

I was silent for a moment, then came back to my senses and asked her, "Isn't Athena the goddess of wisdom, I think the goddess of beauty is called Vienna or Venus, right?" ”

She was also stunned and scolded: "Damn, if you don't mix too much with Lu Zhaochao in the past half a year, my IQ is going to become negative, Ah Li, hurry up and save me." ”

I thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really a long time since I had seen these old friends, so I smiled and said, "Okay, you will all wash up and wait for me in bed." ”

I ate and drank at home until the seventh day of the new year, and in the afternoon I packed some things and drove to Yunhu Villa, which was a paradise opened by the Qin family in the city center, even if it was a cold winter, there were beautiful red plums falling in the snow in the garden. When I went to check in, I inadvertently heard the staff at the front desk talking about Lin Qi, a leader of the headquarters, saying that he told him to come to the club today to have a group of guests from the headquarters come to stay in the club, and asked them to be careful and arrange dinner in the cloud and water room. I recalled it, but I don't remember if it was the name of Secretary Qin Yan.

Because there are too many people, the evening arrangement is a BBQ in the garden. Liao Xiaofei also called a lot of her friends from college, because it was not a circle, she went to entertain her friends, and came to live with me in the evening to catch up. I don't know if she said hello in advance, but no one took the initiative to care about my gossip, and everyone just chatted all night long. Later in the day, the people from all walks of life divided into several groups to move on their own. I had just drunk a small can of beer, but my face was hot, and in a dark and quiet corner I found two rattan chairs hanging from a tree like swings, and a small wooden table, where I sat down and rested with my eyes closed. Later, I didn't know at some point, I felt as if there was something moving around me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Zhaochao holding two crystal glasses and a bottle of champagne, and was about to sit down opposite.

I looked at him and said a little strangely, "Didn't you go to play squash with them, how did you get here?" ”

He handed me one of the glasses, poured me a small half glass of champagne, and said unhappily, "What's the matter, you don't like me to come to you to talk to you?" You haven't given me a phone call for most of the year, you're really a long skill. ”

I didn't have much to say, so I smiled and clinked glasses with him. He took a sip of champagne and looked at me a few times, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Forget it, Lao Tzu has been fucking holding back all night, so I asked directly, Li Qiao, are you really not married to the person surnamed Qin?" ”

I looked at him with my forehead propped up, and after a while, I said indifferently: "Yes, didn't you say that he was not good to me, and I am not a masochist, he is not good to me, of course I dumped him." ”

"You're not stupid." He laughed twice, and said: "Don't be sad, there are many good-looking men in the world, it's really not good, don't we still have a thirty-year-old appointment, when you are old and yellow, no one wants you, don't worry, my brother accepted you." ”

I looked at him and wanted to laugh, took two sips of wine and said, "You are so handsome, of course I am willing to accept me, but I am not so easy to provoke, and now there are still six years before you are thirty years old, you should hurry up and have fun during this time." When the time comes, if I marry you, you will still be as attentive as you are now, and I will castrate you if you have not touched a leaf in the flowers. ”

Lu Zhaochao's face twitched, and he jumped up in annoyance: "Can you see that the problem is not so one-sided?" Lao Tzu is so dedicated to a person, what do you say! ”

I smiled and looked at him quietly for a while, I don't know if it was alcohol that reminded people to recall, I remembered some things from the past, I said: "Lu Zhaochao, I remember learning painting with you when I was in the third year of junior high school, once I had a heart attack and fainted, and the teacher said that you carried me to a nearby hospital, and you were scared and cried." ”

He scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Am I crying?" No, why don't I remember that...... What are you doing all of a sudden? ”

I shook my head and whispered, "No...... I just suddenly felt that there were many people who were good to me. ”

He didn't hear what I said, and reminisced with me for a while, and I unconsciously drank a little too much while chatting with Lu Zhaochao, and my eyes were almost open. In a daze, as if I heard him say go and get me water, I nodded, and then leaned back in the rattan wooden chair, which had very soft cushions in the round chair, and it was very comfortable to sleep on, but it was a little cold outside.

Later, I felt that Lu Zhaochao seemed to pick me up, and I was so sleepy that I was almost unconscious, so I didn't break away from him. After a while, the coolness around me faded, and there was warmth on all sides, probably into the room.

Feeling as if lying down on the bed, I opened my eyes in a daze, there was no light in the dim room, only a little light through the window, I saw that the clothes on his collar were wrinkled by me, let go of his hand and stroked gently, and said to him a little inarticulately: "Thank you for sending me back, but how did you change the princess hug this time...... Do you know, even ......" wanted to say in his mind that even Qin Yan had never hugged me like this, but when the words came to his mouth, he shook his head blankly, "Even my senior brother has never hugged me like this, I didn't expect you to take advantage of me." ”

He seemed to pause, and his voice changed, a little low, and a little cold, which made me feel familiar, but it should have been my auditory hallucination: "Who do you really like?" ”

I closed my eyes and opened them again, my vision still a little blurry. I thought sadly, who do I like, I really dare not say that name, and I can't say it. After a few seconds, I said to myself, "Well, you know, I think my senior brother is really good, he looks so good, and he paints very well, I think I may not be able to catch up with him in this life...... He was very nice to me, I painted a picture last month that I was quite satisfied with, and he taught me a lot...... I think we would have been nice to be with him...... Well? What's that word called...... Oh, good soulmate (soul mate) ......"

After a long silence, I heard a voice from above again, and the man said very softly, "What about me?" ”

I raised my eyes, looked at him dimly in the dark, and then frowned, I think I'm really finished, anyone can have Qin Yan's shadow in their minds, what's even worse is that I still watched obsessively for a long time, I'm really useless.

After a long time, I finally came back to my senses, reluctantly raised my hand, put it on Lu Zhaochao's face, patted it, closed my eyes, and I said to him seriously: "You...... Forget it. ”
