Chapter 43: The Fate of Reunion
Su Xiaoyan threw the last pile of garbage into the trash can, vaguely saw a pair of shoes inside, and picked them out with a stick. The climbing shoes, dirty, dusty, and deformed, were squeezed and deformed, but the pink color could still be faintly seen. Memories burst through the layers and appeared in her mind. She took it back upstairs, washed it, and chilled it out on the balcony. The twilight had risen, the lights were on, the scenery outside the building was still the same, and she could still see the ginkgo trees in the square. It seems that the next moment the door lock will turn, and the familiar person will open the door and come in, and as soon as he turns around, he will meet that gaze.
She picked up her bag, opened the door, and walked out, locked in the door.
I bought a pancake fruit on the side of the street in the community, stood at the bus stop and ate it slowly, and got on the bus. The rush hour has passed, and the bus is no longer congested. After standing for two stops, a young man got up and motioned with his eyes for her to come and sit down. She smiled in return, and the young man bowed his head a little shyly and got out of the car. She sat and looked at the scenery outside the window, the ancient trees became more and more silent in the night, the signboards passing by one by one, the figures flashed one by one, and H City was still in her memory.
She got out of the car, walked into a side street, stood, and looked up at some window. The house was dark and there was no light in any of the windows. She hesitated, but walked over. The streetlights were still dim, and her shadow was dragged behind her, hesitating. The stairway is mottled, and there are some debris piled up at the turn. She looked at the clutter as if she shouldn't have seen it. After a pause, he walked up again, stood in front of a door, stood on tiptoe, and touched the doorrail above. After a long time, she laughed, patted the dust off her hands, and turned to go downstairs.
She asked the taxi driver if he knew that there was an indoor climbing place in H City, and the driver thought about it for a while and reported a place. She didn't know if it was the place she had been before, so she drove there casually. When I arrived, I found that it was the original place, and I didn't expect that business was still good. However, rock climbing is a small event, and there are many new fitness and indoor tennis centers. She went to the main station to buy a pair of climbing shoes and a set of sportswear, and then hired a coach, she suddenly became happy, the mood was also infected by the coach, and the teaching atmosphere was very relaxed.
She still didn't climb well, but her body was much more stable, and when she got to a high place, she dared to look down, and gave the coach a bright smile. It's been a tossing day, and it's also tiring. After climbing for a while, she asked to come down and rest.
"Hi, sister." Someone shouted, but neither she nor the coach looked up and continued to untie the rope. "Hey, here! Sister! She looked up casually to see who was shouting, and saw a girl with short hair running over, which she didn't recognize.
"Did you come over with Fan Chengze to play with you before?" Her words really surprised Su Xiaoyan a lot, how good eyesight this girl must have, and she had no impression of her.
Su Xiaoyan smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes." But I don't remember you, you have such a good memory. ”
"I don't have such a good memory. Look, your friend is there! Liu An pointed to the bench behind him and shouted, "Fan Chengze, that's right, it's your little sister." ”
Su Xiaoyan hurriedly changed his angle to look over, and in the distance, Fan Chengze and the other two men were sitting on the bench. She didn't know whether to leave or stay for a while, so she could only pestle so stupidly.
If there was such a deep fate between her and Fan Chengze, two years ago, should she have sat at the door and waited for him to come back, instead of leaving in a bad mood? If she and Fan Chengze were so in love, shouldn't she have said duplicitously a few days ago that she didn't want to have anything to do with him? Or, the so-called fate is just a deliberate act of oneself. She returned to her hometown, is it still because she has expectations? Her thoughtfulness and self-dissection made her a little embarrassed.
The coach had already helped her unload the equipment. Fan Chengze had also already walked over: "Don't play?" ”
"Hmm. I'm a little tired. She looked down and said, not looking at him.
"What's next?" Fan Chengze's tone couldn't hear any excitement about a reunion after a long absence or an encounter in his hometown. It seems that Su Xiaoyan came together, which made Su Xiaoyan feel a little embarrassed.
"Oh. So I went back to rest. ”
Fan Chengze didn't speak, and Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but look up at him. He was about to say something, but Liu An and the others were already beside him.
"Met an old friend? Let's go, let's have supper together. Liu Fan motioned for Liu An to pull Su Xiaoyan and walk forward. Su Xiaoyan was still hesitating, Fan Chengze was already standing behind, pushing her forward a few steps and following behind.
"What do you call it?" Liu Fan, who walked side by side with Su Xiaoyan, asked. She was just about to answer, but Fan Chengze replied in the back: "Su Xiaoyan." She could only smile politely at Liu Fan.
"My name is Liu Fan, and that's my sister Liu An. Next to her is her husband. ”
"Your sisters are married?" Su Xiaoyan was a little surprised, and turned to look at Fan Chengze. Fan Chengze gave her a roll of his eyes.
"yes, my sisters are married. But I haven't. Xiaoyan, do you have any sisters or friends, introduce us. Liu Fan leaned in and asked. When Su Xiaoyan was really serious and began to think about it, Fan Chengze stepped forward and squeezed into the middle of them and said to her, "You have improved a lot in climbing. Can tennis be played? Next time, I'll take you to tennis. Don't climb so high, I was a little nervous looking at it just now. ”
Liu Fan looked at Fan Chengze in front of him and shook his head, he had known him for so long, he had seen Fan Chengze's rich expression today.
Since Fan Chengze returned to the head office in K City, there have been many fewer opportunities for the two to meet. Yesterday I went back to the construction site of F City with myself, collected the last batch of project money, and returned to H City today to see an old first-class construction company to discuss cooperation. In the evening, come to the "Athlete Center" to activity and exercise your muscles.
The climbing wall has been replaced, and the space is much smaller than before, but every time he passes by the climbing wall, Fan Chengze will take a few looks, and his expression will be a little lonely. After playing tennis for a while, Fan Chengze shouted that he was tired and ran outside to rest for a while. They sat on the benches and chatted for a while. Somehow, he suddenly stood up and looked at the climbing wall in the distance. And then there laughing. Liu Fan asked what was wrong, and he actually hugged himself happily and sat back.
The few of them followed his gaze and watched silently at the people on the climbing wall until the woman who was climbing came down. Fan Chengze asked Liu An to go over and ask if that person had come to play with him. Liu An also said with a taste at the time: "How many girls have you brought here, I don't remember it, and I have to ask her." ”
Su Xiaoyan took a shower and changed her clothes, and saw Liu An standing at the door waiting for her, in the face of her surprise, Liu An replied bluntly: "Fan Chengze said that he was afraid that you would sneak away, so let me look at you." After speaking, when he saw Su Xiaoyan's face flushed, he laughed, took her hand and said, "Sister, you're embarrassed, you're so cute." Su Xiaoyan was a little uncomfortable, she was not used to being so affectionate by others, and she didn't like the title of sister and sister, but she could only be pulled out by Liu An.
In winter, H City was particularly cold, Su Xiaoyan forgot about the temperature difference with K City, and only came out wearing a coat, while Fan Chengze was wearing a medium-length horizontal embossed down, he walked over, took off his cashmere scarf, and wrapped it around Su Xiaoyan's neck. Liu An said exaggeratedly next to him: "I can't stand it, husband, where are you." And he ran away.
"I'll do it myself." Su Xiaoyan stopped Fan Chengze's action of preparing to tie the knot. He didn't insist, and went ahead first.
When I was having supper, a few friends came over, and a large table of people was quite lively. Fan Chengze sat next to Su Xiaoyan, chatting with friends, and occasionally pouring soup for her. Liu An heard that Su Xiaoyan ran a photography studio, so he asked her to take pictures of herself. Su Xiaoyan really took out the micro-slip she carried with her and took a few photos of her. took a photo of Liu An's satisfaction, and Su Xiaoyan's smile was also very bright. Fan Chengze looked at her a little stupidly.
"You still like her?" Liu Fan leaned over and asked softly.
"yes. I thought I didn't like it anymore. Fan Chengze replied.
"Brother, I haven't met anyone I like yet, how good it is to meet someone I like. Okay. Liu Fan patted Fan Chengze on the shoulder.
"I still don't know what she's thinking, it's too hard to figure out a woman."
"There's nothing for women to ponder, and we can't figure it out anyway. There are two ways to treat them, love or not love. Liu Fan looked like an expert and laughed at Fan Chengze. Su Xiaoyan, who was not far away, saw this smile and hurriedly took a photo secretly.
