Chapter 52: Ethereal Human Nature

Jingqi sat up straight and no longer leaned on me, although I sat next to her, I didn't dare to take the initiative to have a little physical contact with her, for fear that she would turn her face.

A garbage tricycle passed by us with a noisy and smelly smell, and Jingqi's emotions seemed to be disturbed by the noise of the traffic, and neither she nor I said anything. Generally, there are only two situations when you are silent when chatting: either there is really no topic, or there is something difficult to hide. Either way, it's hard for me to continue the conversation.

Despite the reluctance in my heart, I still put on a chic posture and said: "This is a good thing, it is better than being a child like me now, and when you become popular one day, I will go to open a small hotel, and you will advertise for me." ”

"Naturally, this is no problem!"

After a simple answer, we fell into silence again, Jingqi would not have been so taciturn in the past, but tonight's mood didn't seem to be right, and she didn't want to say, and I could only rely on my wishful thinking to guess, this seems to be working in the spotlight, but in fact it is a vanity fair with a lot of desires, while smiling at the camera, you have to experience the helplessness of living.

The garbage truck has completely disappeared from our sight, but the noise is still faintly ringing in my ears, I stood under the street lamp in a trance, and dusted off the dust with Jingqi, but what about the dust that fell in my heart? I'm afraid I can't wipe it off!

On the way back, I suddenly felt that the whole alley had become false, the brighter the light, the heavier this illusion became, and for a moment, I lost the direction I was going, and stood so blankly, as if I had suddenly returned to the crossroads, in confusion, watching the cars in front of me as a bystander, listening to the screams of the whistle, and running towards the distance......

This feeling of being settled seemed to have poured lead into my legs, and I couldn't move my steps for a long time, only to see Jingqi in front of me walking farther and farther.

She walked alone for a while, as if she noticed that I hadn't followed, turned to look at me and said, "Yu Hang, let's go!" ”

"I can't move my legs, how can I walk?"

Jing Qi thought I was teasing her, so she ignored me and continued to walk forward, in fact, even I thought it was ridiculous.

"I really can't move, I didn't lie to you."

Under the bright street lamp, I acted as if I had directed and acted in a puppet show, and there was only one spectator in the whole scene, but I performed very hard...... I thought she wouldn't turn back, and was just about to step forward to keep up, but unexpectedly, she turned around, regardless of the fact that she was wearing high heels, trotted to me, pinched my waist, and said in her mouth: "Unlock, biubiu~"

I was pinched by her and grinned, and hurriedly screamed for mercy, but there was a feeling in my heart that the separated people were reunited again, and Jingqi also came to play, pulling the corner of my T-shirt and walking forward, like a dog walking. I smiled and thought to myself how many men and women in crushes, as loyal as dogs, and when you turn around, he or she is right next to you......

……

Back at the bar, Lin Ke, who had just finished the live broadcast, happened to come out of the house, and before he could speak, he hurriedly returned to the house, and in an instant, the small courtyard that was originally dim and only had the lights on suddenly brightened, and the colorful neon set off the quaint courtyard particularly beautifully.

"Put away your pompous expressions, stop standing, and come in quickly!"

I've never seen a road bar with such a view, and I smiled and said, "Okay, Lin Ke, tonight is so extravagant!" ”

"Who can't be corrupt once, isn't it a guest tonight, make some fun."

Jing Qi's surprise was no less than mine, she was silent, and she spun around in place with her arms outstretched, like an elf absorbing aura.

On this night, we sat in the small courtyard and pushed glasses and changed lamps, and refused to get up until we were full of wine and food, and sometimes sitting together was the best communication. In the past, the three of us often sat down to eat together, but we never felt so much like tonight, and this bar named after Lin Ke's old friend seemed to have a little more human touch and a touch of sorrow......

……

After the meal, Jing Qi and I drank some beer at the bar, and paid for each other very tacitly, and then listened to Lin Ke singing a roaring rock in a daze, fortunately there were no residents in this neighborhood, otherwise Lin Ke would have been complained about 10,000 times.

After Lin Ke finished singing a song, Jing Qi asked me to do a song, her coquettish way was different from ordinary people, and a small fist almost beat out my wine.

I swallowed the wine in my throat with great effort, and sang Xu Wei's "Unforgettable Day" for a long time.

Jing Qi listened very seriously, Lin Ke followed my melody, his fingers tapping rhythmically, he cried for the first time in my singing, maybe because he talked about the grievances he had suffered today, maybe because the two separated hearts did not lean together in the end......

It was late at night, and I lay flat in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, and the time had gone to the wee hours of the morning in my anxious thoughts, and the world gradually bid farewell to the hustle and bustle and fell silent.

I was afraid that I would lose sleep completely, and the night would be too difficult, so I tried to hum a tune, trying to gradually empty myself, but this trick worked surprisingly, my eyelids began to become very cooperative, and gradually became heavy, and then I just lay on the bed and fell asleep groggily, until I was woken up by a ringing sound of my mobile phone.

Laboriously turned over, took out the mobile phone from the bedside table, and glanced at it in the haze, but found that it was an unfamiliar number, belonging to Xi'an, and before it had time to connect, it hung up after a few rings, I tried to dial it, but the voice prompted that the other party had turned off the phone.

Who is this strange number? Is it a typo, or someone I know? I tried to think about it for a while, but I couldn't guess it, and at this time, when the sleepiness hit again, my ability to think was stagnant, and I fell asleep with doubts......

……

The next day, I woke up from sleeping until the sun shone on my face, dizzy, and after getting dressed, I was about to go to the box to get toiletries, but unexpectedly, Jingqi was already on the floor covered with plastic sheets in the courtyard, helping me sort out the items that were rudely packed by Li Shi yesterday.

I said good morning, but Jing Qi didn't respond to me, carefully sorted the items, and took the trouble to help me fold them one by one in the face of a pile of messy clothes.

After washing, I was ready to start tidying up with her, but she refused: "There is not much chance, I'll help you clean up, the porridge is cooked in the pot, Lin Ke hasn't gotten up yet, you go eat first." ”

Jingqi's refusal made me a little disappointed, and after a period of silence, I finally let go of the man's face and whispered to her: "Actually, I just want to stay with you here for a while, you see that you are gone for a week, and you still have to work when you return to China, and there are not many opportunities to meet." ”

She suddenly stopped packing her luggage and looked at me with a look of reluctance in her eyes, as I said, maybe this parting will be another week or a month, or even longer.

Jing Qi looked at me, was silent for a moment, but said to me with a smile: "What emotions are you playing in the morning, it seems that you really should talk about a girlfriend, otherwise you will be lonely sooner or later......"

I understand that this is Jingqi reminding me to face up to our current relationship, but it makes me feel a little sad, and I can't say where the sadness is, and people's minds are sometimes so subtle and out of their control.

"Yu Hang, it's time for you to look for a job again, you can take my car and drive it!"

I smiled and said, "Why do I need to drive, how comfortable it is to go out and take a taxi, don't worry." ”

"Are you being polite to me?"

My heart was full of emotions, no matter how much trouble, she was still the person who cared about me the most besides my parents, and patiently explained: "You're welcome, my dad said that the peaches are ripe, let me go home to pick them, I have to go back to my hometown for a while, just rest for a while, I really don't need the car." ”

Jing Qi also smiled with me, and she didn't force it anymore, but she sped up the speed of sorting in her hands......

……

At noon, Jing Qi went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some vegetables, and before she had time to eat, the brokerage company called and signaled her to go back to the company to gather, and after hesitating, she obeyed the arrangement, quickly changed her clothes and prepared to drive back to the company.

By the time she came out of the room again, her long, slightly curly hair was tied up and she wore a stylish sunhat.

They all said don't want to be early, maybe they are afraid of this kind of hurried departure. The sun was a little dazzling overhead, Jing Qi put on her sunglasses and walked beside me, and suddenly made a move that surprised me again, she took out the cigarette case from her bag, and took out a lady's cigarette to light for herself.

"When did you become so addicted to smoking?"

Jing Qi was a little uncomfortable when I asked, turned her face sideways and whispered to me: "I can't quit, no way!" ”

Her face was obscured by her huge sunglasses and sunhat, and I couldn't see her emotions clearly, and she didn't seem to want to say more, so she sped up to the car, just said "come on" to me, and quickly drove out of my sight......

……

After eating Jingqi's lunch, I left my belongings in Lin Ke's bar, brought only a few changes of clothes, and headed to the station to rush home.

When I passed by the hostel in the car, I saw Li Shi from a distance, standing on the bridge that I often like to stare at the river, but after a quick glance, I couldn't see her face and emotions clearly.

Maybe she was still so indifferent, and she seemed very quiet all the time, but now that I think about it, I see an indescribable human heart in this quiet.

……

After a few hours of driving, I returned to my home where I had been away for a long time, but because my parents and Mengmeng were not at home, this home had a somewhat lonely taste.

Lying on the familiar bed, I looked at the ceiling a little distractedly, but I didn't empty my brain, inexplicably remembered the night on the city wall, Li Shi looked at my face and smile, for the first time in my life racked my brains to think about the so-called human nature, but I felt that human nature was ethereal.

Perhaps, in my eyes, her absurdity is the same as she sees me, for example, when I was faced with a choice in the hostel, I was biased towards my persistence, and never intended to fulfill Lao Gou, and for Lao Gou, I was a person who didn't know right from wrong......
