Chapter 8: After the Dusk of the Falling Flowers
On the first day of the first lunar month, Yuan Qi and two friends were having fun, returned to the town, discussed going to KTV to sing to help the fun, walked to the gate, the mobile phone in the trouser pocket rang at this time, Yuan Qi turned to the two friends and said: "You go up first, I'll answer the phone, and then come up." ”
"Hey, Su Ling."
"Yuan Qi, where are you?"
"I'm in Tiger City right now, with a few friends."
"Oh."
Yuan Qi hung up after saying a few words on the phone, and went upstairs into the private room, which was filled with smoke. After Yuan Qi walked in, a friend stepped forward and handed over a cigarette, Yuan Qi took the cigarette and walked to the sofa and sat down, inhaled wildly, and shook the ash into the ashtray. A friend stood in front of the video singing his favorite song, and after singing, he walked up to the couch and raised his glass "Cheers." Yuan Qi looked left and right, stood up and held the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass after clinking glasses, and the friend sat next to Yuan Qi.
"Yuan Qi, seeing that you are depressed, is there anything in your heart?"
"No, why don't you introduce these friends to me, the first time we meet, how disrespectful, and please Haihan."
Yuan Qi held the wine bottle in his left hand and the wine glass in his right hand and walked forward with his friends, and sat back in their original positions one by one. At this time, a girl came over and sat next to Yuan Qi, taking a puff of cigarette and protruding.
"Handsome guy, I'll toast you," his friend said, standing next to him, "This is my high school classmate Cher." ”
Yuan Qi stood up, raised his wine glass and touched it, "It's an honor to meet you, contemptible Yuan Qi." ”
"Handsome guy, what song to sing, I'll give you some."
"I don't know what song to sing." Cher took a puff of cigarette to highlight the smoke and smiled, "Let's sing together about the first love." ”
Yuan Qi reluctantly replied, "Okay." ”
Yuan Qi took the microphone and stepped forward, Xue'er then stood next to Yuan Qi, the first time the person she loved had a different flavor in the duet between men and women, she sang the first half, Yuan Qi sang the second half, and the men and women sang in chorus, she closed her eyes and seemed to remember the lyrics very well, she sang so affectionately, and there was a trace of tremor in her voice, but he only looked at the lyrics on the video in front of him, and then greeted warm applause behind him. After singing, Yuan Qi called the friend out and stood in the corridor.
"Yue Feng, I'm leaving."
"Yuan Qi, play a little longer, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and today we finally got together."
"I'm going back to Chengdu tomorrow, go back and pack some luggage."
"Go say hi to them first."
Yuan Qi stood in front of these people with Yue Feng and said, "Brothers, I wish you all a good time, Happy New Year, I will not accompany you." ”
"Let's play a little longer."
"No, there's something going on at home."
Yue Feng stood next to Yuan Qi and said, "I'll send you." ”
"No need, you stay and spend more time with these brothers."
Yuan Qi walked out of the KTV and looked at the dim sky, it seemed that the time was not early, first dialed the phone number at the station, contacted the route and time, and called Su Ling.
"Su Ling, when are you going back to Chengdu?"
"Tomorrow."
"I'm also tomorrow, and I'm in touch with the route for a very long time."
"Which route? What time? ”
"Passing through Yanting, the Mianyang route, that is, what it will look like at seven o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow in the turtle bag."
The sky gradually darkened, and the cold wind blew his thin clothes, and his heart was very cold. Yuan Qi wandered alone on the cold streets, looking so desolate. Looking at the left and right of the road, there were no more vehicles on the road, so I slowly walked to the station, and it seemed that the only way to go home was by motorcycle.
When he returned home, his family stood in the hall and waited for him for a long time, Yuan Qi walked in, and a woman stepped forward and said, "Qi'er, why did you come back late?" ”
"Mother, I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Let's not talk about this, I must be very hungry, there is still food on the stove, I'll go and heat it up for you."
The woman walked into the kitchen, Yuan Qi went upstairs to pack his luggage, and the middle-aged woman delivered the hot meal to Yuan Qi's room.
"Mother, the child will return to Chengdu tomorrow, and I can't serve in front of you."
"Let's go eat first, and I'll help you pack your luggage."
The next day, before dawn, Yuan Qi got up, got dressed, hung up his satchel and walked downstairs, and received a call from Su Ling at this time.
"Yuan Qi, there is no departure."
"So early."
"Well, I'm already on my way."
Yuan Qi hurriedly went downstairs, the middle-aged woman was preparing breakfast for Yuan Qi in the kitchen downstairs, Yuan Qi walked into the kitchen, and the middle-aged woman said, "Qi'er, eat first and then leave." Yuan Qi hurriedly said: "I have a few friends waiting for me, I won't let her wait for me for so long in the cold night." "The middle-aged man only woke up the neighbor and left in her neighbor's motorcycle. The motorcycle shuttled through the dark night, and the cold wind blew like countless ice blades stabbing into the face, piercing into the flesh, a cold pain. In the night, I saw two people waiting by the side of the road, these two people were Su Ling and her father. She stood out in the darkness with her glasses, and the bike stopped in front of them.
Yuan Qi stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle," her father just replied and resumed his silence. Su Ling had been hiding behind her father, sticking out her head, grinning a few times, and stepped forward to pull the red tie on his chest.
"Steady."
A light shot from the depths of the darkness, Yuan Qi looked at the light that came, a passenger car drove here, stopped in front of them, and a middle-aged man walked from the car, and said, "Are you in Chengdu?" "Yes, yes." Yuan Qi took the suitcase from her father's hand and asked Su Ling to get in the car first. and the middle-aged man opened the back compartment, Yuan Qi dragged the suitcase and stepped forward to put it in the trunk, and then got into the car.
"Lingling, pay attention to safety on the road."
"Well, Dad, why don't you go back, it's cold."
"It's time to call."
