"You're from Pekingese?" The girl's nonchalant voice, her head bowed and stepped on the red brick lattice on the ground.

"I was born in Beijing." He nodded, reached out and gently tugged at her arm, dodging an oncoming boy on a bicycle.

"What about you?" Zhao Pingjin asked her.

"Zhejiang."

"Where is Zhejiang?"

"Taizhou."

"What do you do?"

"The company I work for is in software technology."

Huang Xitang stopped downstairs in the girls' dormitory and took out the access card: "I'm going upstairs." ”

Zhao Pingjin put his hand in the pocket of his pants, nodded when he heard it, his expression was relaxed, and there was a thin smile on the corner of his lips.

Huang Xitang ran two steps up the stairs, turned around and waved at him, her little face could be seen shining in the night, and she ran into the corridor with a smile.

Zhao Pingjin stood in place for a while and walked towards the parking lot on the north side of the apartment building.

He came to their school for more than a week, and finally let her off a little guard, and on the way back to the dormitory, Huang Xitang was willing to chat with him for a while.

The two of them don't do anything, usually he gets off work, drives from Zhongguancun to the film academy, fortunately it's not far, take Zhichun Road and turn a corner, and then just in time to catch her rehearsal class and get out of class, or do homework in the teaching building, Zhao Pingjin waited for her for a while, sent her back to the dormitory, and then drove away by himself.

He thought it was funny.

Wait for a girl downstairs for an hour, just to be able to see her for a while after work every day.

He had never imagined that such a thing would happen to him.

The last time Zhao Pingjin saw Huang Xitang in the Chang'an Club, it was more than a month ago, and the next day after that, he found her at school and asked her to eat but she simply refused, and then after a long time of not seeing him, Zhao Pingjin basically forgot about Huang Xitang.

At that time, he was young, uncertain, there were many beautiful girls around him, and there were many ways to play, and he couldn't afford to suffer for himself, and he was competing with a little girl who was slippery and like a loach.

It's July to see her again.

It was a midsummer evening, a heavy rainstorm, Zhao Pingjin and a few buddies took the girls to the Gongti to watch the concert.

When I walked to the door of the stadium, I saw two girls holding umbrellas and wearing raincoats, standing on the steps outside the stadium, and asked people in a loud voice: "Do you need raincoats, glow sticks, and raincoats?" ”

The girls around Zhao Pingjin gathered around with interest to see, the light stick was ten yuan a piece, and the raincoat sat on the ground and the price was sold for fifty yuan.

The girls began to choose, and the men who traveled with them took out their wallets to pay, Zhao Pingjin held an umbrella, and the girls snuggled next to him pouted and said, "Brother......"

Zhao Pingjin didn't pay attention to the people around him at all, his eyes stared at the girl next to Zhong Qiao'er, a small person, wearing a fluorescent yellow raincoat, the raincoat covered her whole person, only revealing a face as white as camellia.

Zhong Qiaoer turned around and gently pushed Huang Xitang.

Huang Xitang turned his head and met his eyes.

Zhao Pingjin was happy as soon as he recognized her: "Yo, this is not a classmate of the film academy, why did you change your career to sell small goods?" ”

Xitang didn't think of who he was for a while, only saw a handsome man, tall, thin, with white skin, a straight nose, and a good-looking girl snuggled under the big umbrella he was holding.

The appearance of the son and brother of the freshly dressed and angry horse in the capital.

Zhao Pingjin said: "How many more? I've bought it all for you. ”

Zhong Qiao'er heard it and responded happily: "Okay! We're all going to get drenched! ”

Huang Xitang hurriedly pulled Zhong Qiao'er away.

At this time, the buddy next to Zhao Pingjin pushed his shoulder, and a group of people walked towards the infield passage of the stadium.

The lawn was covered with a protective film, and the rows of plastic chairs placed on it were drenched, and the audience who entered the infield crowded into the passage to hide from the rain for a while, and the rain gradually stopped, and the audience entered the arena one after another, and the musicians on the stage began to tune.

A group of people found their seats and sat down.

Zhao Pingjin sat on the chair, stunned for two seconds, suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Qian Donglin next to him: "I'm out." ”

Qian Donglin didn't understand: "Where to go?" ”

Zhao Pingjin pointed out his mouth and walked out directly.

"Hey, Zhouzi! You don't watch it? Qian Donglin stood up and shouted: "I finally got the ticket!" ”

Zhao Pingjin waved his hand with his back to him and walked away in style.

At this time, there were many fewer people outside, and a few scalpers were wandering, Zhao Pingjin walked along the eaves of the stadium entrance, and finally found the small figure wearing a yellow raincoat.

She was stooping down the steps one by one, picking up glow sticks, mineral water bottles, and pieces of paper that had fallen on the ground.

There is a wide and narrow staircase at the entrance of the stadium, the heavy rain has washed away the dust, and the spectators and vendors who entered the stadium have thrown a lot of garbage.

Zhao Pingjin followed her figure and saw a staggering old man scavenging on the grass not far away.

At this moment, the music and screams in the stadium behind him sounded, and the singer took the stage.

Zhao Pingjin stood in the passage of the infield of the gymnasium, watching the little yellow man pick up mineral water bottles back and forth, and stuffed them into the woven bag carried by the old man one by one, she jumped on the steps, swaying her body to the music, and the rhythmic singing and dancing sound in the gymnasium floated out, she stood on the steps and howled to the empty square: "Oh oh oh! ”

Zhong Qiaoer squatted on the steps to accompany her, with a bag of leftover things by her side, resting while drinking water, she was about to lie down when she saw a smile, put her finger on her lips and blew a crisp whistle, and then screamed: "Idol, I love you!" ”

Huang Xitang suddenly turned around energetically and looked at Zhong Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, how did you blow that whistle, can you teach me?" ”

The next day, Zhao Pingjin got off work and went to the film academy to find her.

Xitang happened to come downstairs, carrying a big black rucksack in his hand, and when he saw him, he raised his hand and said "hi" without any expression.

Zhao Pingjin followed her out: "Where are you going?" ”

Xitang squatted in front of the glass window of the small supermarket: "I went to the study room to do my homework." ”

Xitang swiped the rice card and bought a sandwich.

Zhao Pingjin said: "I'll write your homework for you, can you buy me a sandwich?" ”

Xitang bought one for him and gave him a bottle of milk: "Thank you for sending us back yesterday." ”

The two of them finished eating sandwiches at the door of the library, Xitang drank water, and Zhao Pingjin drank milk.

Xitang threw the wrapping paper into the trash bin on the side and wiped his hands: "Go back when you finish eating, the study room is so boring." ”

She still treats him as the kind of boy who is obsessed with lustful dogs and horses.

Zhao Pingjin held the milk carton and smiled at her: "Try it." ”

The two of them sat side by side on the seats in the last row, Zhao Pingjin watched Huang Xitang take out a notebook, pencil case, and a Chinese-English dictionary from her bag, she spread out the book, Zhao Pingjin took a look, it was a short biography of characters in English, she had already typed a manuscript, but there were still a few empty words left in each paragraph.

Zhao Pingjin quickly browsed it, Xitang had just opened the dictionary, Zhao Pingjin had already reached out to take her notebook, picked up the pen and wrote out all the empty words.

He wrote as he read, and drew a horizontal line under the sentence: "Where I underlined, revise it." ”

Xitang looked at it and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Xitang turned the page again, this time it was a blank one, and Zhao Pingjin wondered: "Why do you do two homework by yourself?" ”

That night, Zhao Pingjin finished Zhong Qiaoer's homework for her, and Xitang finished correcting his own, Zhao Pingjin said, "Do you want to see it again?" ”

Xitang hurriedly said: "No need, no need, the writing is too good and does not meet the basic level." ”

One night, Zhao Pingjin accompanied Huang Xitang out of the teaching building, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, a little distance from her, and maintained a very good demeanor, he said to Xitang: "That classmate of yours seems to be in love with me recently." ”

"Qiao'er?" Xitang was accustomed to saying that "Qiao'er's boyfriend is very diligent." ”

"Why didn't I see you go to the Chang'an Club again?"

"That time it was Zhong Qiao'er who came to me temporarily."

"What are you busy with?"

"Take classes, work part-time, audition for a job."

"Looking for a job?"

"Filming."

Later, Zhao Pingjin came too much, and one night Huang Xitang asked him: "You haven't finished your heart yet?" ”

Zhao Pingjin told her that dating beautiful girls is all distracted.

"I'm not distracted."

"And you're still old?"

"Mr. Huang, I'm pursuing you."

One day in June, Zhao Pingjin went to their school to look for her, but found no one.

Fortunately, Xitang answered his call: "We have summer vacation." ”

Zhao Pingjin drove to the place where she worked, it was a coffee shop near Xiao Xitian, he went in to order a drink, and waited for her to get off work while working, and waited until Xitang changed out of his uniform and walked to his desk with his schoolbag on his back, Zhao Pingjin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, this time the bus has been suspended.

"How do you get back to school?"

"Ride a bike."

"Ride from Wenhui Bridge to Xitu City?"

Xitang smiled and said: "I ride a good bike, so I should practice and shape my body." ”

Zhao Pingjin took her hand, walked to the parking space in front of the café, and put the laptop bag in his hand on the back seat of the car: "Come up." ”

The next night, Zhao Pingjin called her.

"Are you still working tonight?"

"What's wrong?"

"I've got something to do tonight, can you take a taxi back tonight?" I'll reimburse you, and I'll pick you up tomorrow night. ”

Xitang didn't reply to his words, only smiled: "What are you doing tonight?" ”

Zhao Pingjin grabbed the phone with his arm and took the cotton swab handed to him by the nurse: "I'm working overtime in the company." ”

At this time, a child was placed on the triage table, and the infusion needle in the nurse's hand was pricked down, and the child instantly cried loudly, and the young mother next to her panicked to hold the child, and the nurse was so anxious that she shouted: "Alas, the family members held it down!" ”

Zhao Pingjin was dumbfounded.

Xitang heard it over there, and it took a few seconds to react: "Comrade Zhao, confess and be lenient." ”

Zhao Pingjin had no choice but to answer.

Xitang was stunned for a moment and said, "You really don't eat outside things?" ”

Xitang found him in the emergency room of Zhongguancun Hospital, where he was on an intravenous drip by himself.

Xitang said: "What about your family? ”

Zhao Pingjin said: "My brother sent me here, I'll just go back by myself when I'm done." ”

Xitang sat down in the vacant seat beside him.

Zhao Pingjin looked at her, with makeup on her face, and her pink lips were very cute: "Where did you come from?" ”

"Beijing Film Studio." Xitang took out a wet tissue and wiped his makeup.

"What are you doing there?"

"the hell."

"You're not going to the coffee shop tonight?"

Xitang shrugged and said, "I was fired yesterday." ”

Zhao Pingjin was slightly surprised, he didn't see anything last night: "Why?" ”

"I made a mistake in writing a list ordered by a guest, and then I was complained." Huang Xitang stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

"Then why didn't you say it last night?"

"What's there to say, it's a shame to be clumsy."

Zhao Pingjin only found out at this time that this was a sensitive girl.

Xitang was bored and walked around the emergency hall, bought him a bottle of mineral water when he came back, and then picked up his medical record book and looked at it, she suddenly said: "Your stomach is really bad, I shouldn't have let you follow me for supper last night." ”

It was already past eleven o'clock at night when the two of them came out of the hospital.

Zhao Pingjin took a taxi on the side of the road: "I'll go back and drive you out to take you back to school." ”

Xitang followed him back to the company.

It is a commercial and residential community, not very new, the community around the atmosphere of life is strong, downstairs in a row of merchants distributed English training institutions, express companies, all kinds of ramen snack bars, Zhao Pingjin took her upstairs, when opening the door, there is a long wide table in the middle of the large living room, a row of computers on both sides, a two-seater sofa in a corner of the south, as well as printers, filing cabinets, a standard office look, in addition to the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window there is a row of neatly stacked beer cans.

A Sven man with glasses sits behind a computer.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Min raised his head, his expression was suddenly stunned, the girl who followed Zhao Pingjin, her young skin was shining, her smile was very beautiful, revealing her teeth like white shells, he could see clearly at this moment, it was indeed a beauty.

Beauty is beauty, he didn't dare to forget that she beat him to a blue nose and swollen face.

Zhao Pingjin smiled and said, "This is Shen Min, you've seen it before." ”

Xitang looked confused and completely unimpressed: "When?" ”

Shen Min was so angry that his face was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Zhao Pingjin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

After a while, Shen Min finally came to his senses and pulled out a stack of documents from the folder in front of him: "That system of Lianshang, Li Ming ran around in the afternoon and found that there seems to be a problem here. ”

Zhao Pingjin glanced at it, sat down in front of the computer, and said, "Xiaomin, you send Xitang back to school." ”

Shen Min hesitated for two seconds and said, "I'm not here, you will write it in a while, who will test you?" ”

Zhao Pingjin said: "I'll come by myself." ”

Shen Min disagreed: "You can sleep for a while at night." ”

Zhao Pingjin tapped his hand on the keyboard quickly, and when he heard it, he slapped the space bar lightly, glanced back at Shen Min, and Xitang hurriedly spoke: "Don't hinder your words, I'll stay here for a while, and I'll go back by myself in the morning." ”

Zhao Pingjin got up, took her to a room inside, and turned on the lamp on the desk for her: "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while." ”

Xitang looked at it, it was a small room, there was a bed in the corner, the gray-blue plaid sheets and quilt covers were very clean, a desk, and a cabinet.

There was a chair by the window opposite, and a blue shirt hung haphazardly from the back of the chair.

There was a faint sound of keystrokes in the living room all night, as well as a whispered conversation between Zhao Pingjin and Shen Min.

Xitang woke up the next morning and saw that the lights in the spacious living room were extinguished, the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were tightly drawn, the living room was dim, and the blue light on the computer host could be seen still faintly flickering, and the door in the other room was ajar, and Zhao Pingjin fell asleep on the sofa.

Xitang carried his schoolbag and went out lightly.

finally caught Zhong Qiao'er and went back to the dormitory, and Xitang asked Qiao'er for experience.

Zhong Qiao'er heard her mention Zhao Pingjin: "The son of the official eunuch, I don't know what to do, Lao Gao seems to be quite familiar with him, I have met him a few times." ”

Zhong Qiaoer lit a cigarette: "Do you like him?" ”

Xitang nodded.

"Also, with that handsome face, which girl doesn't love it." Qiao'er puffed out a smoke ring and squinted at her in the fog.

Xitang's face suddenly turned red: "It's not-"

Zhong Qiao'er smiled: "You are just too simple." ”

Zhong Qiaoer didn't take it seriously: "Talk, Xitang, you are a coquette, you don't have to work hard to earn the tuition fee for this senior year." ”

Xitang bit his lip: "I'm not talking to him for this." ”

"What else do you want to do, fall in love, marry him, marry and have children?"

Xitang couldn't speak.

"People like them won't marry us."

At this time, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Wang Linglong walked in, looking at the two of them and frowning: "Hey, Qiao'er, don't smoke in the dormitory, okay?" ”

Zhong Qiao'er raised her eyebrows and extinguished the cigarette.

At this time, Qiao'er's phone rang, she glanced at it, pressed her voice, stood up from the chair, hugged Xitang's neck, and whispered: "It's okay to fall in love, don't take it too seriously, and be sensible, don't inquire about their identity and background." ”

Xitang recently followed a crew and played a girl who acted as a background in a costume drama, no lines, but the number of episodes filmed was okay, she called her mother, and when she finished filming this scene, she would go back to see her.

If there is no night play, she can call it a day at eight o'clock in the evening and return to school, the dormitory is empty, since the last time she came back from him, Zhao Pingjin has not appeared for a week.

That night, Xitang got off the subway and received a call from Zhao Pingjin.

"Where are you?" The wind whistled on the phone.

"In the subway station." The surroundings were too noisy, Xitang heard his voice fluttering, she hung the bag in her hand on her shoulder, pulled her legs and ran up the stairs, ran to the ground in one breath, and kicked several times with her knees: "Where are you?" ”

"I've been out of Beijing lately." Zhao Pingjin was suddenly a little happy at that end.

Zhao Pingjin started his business not long ago, and people were also busy, and some grassroots projects were done for a month or two, and the company had to send people to keep an eye on them regularly.

Xitang walked slowly along the sidewalk towards the school, chatting with him as he went.

Zhao Pingjin asked, "Do you miss me?" ”

Through the mobile phone, Xitang can think of his salivating face: "Why are you so narcissistic?" ”

Zhao Pingjin sighed and said, "I miss you a lot." ”

"I'm in this shabby place, and I only have a signal after walking two miles, alas, the stars are good."

Xitang said: "You are poor, you." ”

One night Zhao Pingjin asked her: "You don't like me, why do you sew buttons for me?" ”

That day, he was moving a few large boxes of documents in the company, and he rubbed off a button on the chest of his shirt, and he picked up the button and left it in the room.

Xitang lied without changing his face: "I deal with Fuhuadao every day, this is an occupational disease. ”

Zhao Pingjin laughed at the other end, he laughed, his deep voice was particularly good, Xitang only heard a demagogic voice: "Huang Xitang, can't you be a little honest and face your heart?" ”

Xitang finally said, "A little." ”

"Girl, brother is back, downstairs in your dormitory."

Xitang hung up the phone and ran downstairs with slippers crackling, Zhao Pingjin stood in front of the door of the entrance of the apartment building, watching her run to him with a slight smile on her face, and reached out to stroke her hair.

Xitang looked up at him, his head was dizzy, he was wearing a gray T-shirt, a thin khaki jacket, a little darker, he was really good-looking.

He handed the few boxes he was carrying to Xitang: "For you, I just came from the airport, come back with me to change your clothes and take you out to dinner." ”

Xitang was wearing shorts, tiptoeing playfully while speaking, her legs were straight and white, out of politeness, Zhao Pingjin didn't dare to look down, only heard her say: "I'll go upstairs and put on shoes, you wait a minute." ”

Zhao Pingjin nodded, turned around and pointed: "Look for me in the parking lot on the north side in a while, I still occupy the bicycle lane." ”

Xitang stretched his neck to look down, no, his car was parked on the path under the steps.

She turned and ran upstairs again.

Zhao Pingjin drove her back to the company, he took down a 26-inch suitcase from the car, Xitang held his laptop for him, Zhao Pingjin opened the door, and a choking smell of smoke wafted out, Zhao Pingjin suddenly frowned: "What smell?" ”

He quickly glanced at the living room, everything was normal, several people were gathered around the kitchen door, and the choking smell wafted from the kitchen.

Li Ming looked back and saw him: "Alas, Zhouzi, you are back." ”

Zhao Pingjin glanced at it: "Lao Guo burned the kitchen again?" ”

Guo Tianjun was in the kitchen, not paying attention outside, he threw a burnt pot into the sink with a clatter, and turned on the faucet with a "bang".

Li Mingtou leaned in and took a look again: "Yo, Lao Guo, you can forget about letting you order a takeout, you still have a face!" ”

Guo Tianjun ripped off a roll of kitchen paper: "You have a good memory, do you remember why you don't call it yourself!" ”

Xitang later found out that these people forgot to sleep and eat when they worked.

The two young men walked out of the kitchen dejectedly, Xitang followed behind Zhao Pingjin, looked at the old man for a long time, and then suddenly said: "What were you cooking just now?" ”

……

Ten minutes later, there was an extra bowl of hot noodle soup in front of everyone at the table, and Li Ming was full of praise: "Xitang, come often in the future." ”

Xitang smiled good-naturedly.

Zhao Pingjin was unhappy holding the chopsticks: "Don't point at her to cook, it's a pure accident today, I'll just say find an aunt." ”

Li Ming glanced at him: "Don't talk about us, just count you as the most unbeaten, you stay up late every night, your housekeeper doesn't cook during the day, and he comes to cook for you in the middle of the night?" ”

After eating noodles, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole house was quiet, Guo Tianjun fell asleep, Li Ming was playing games with headphones in the living room, a group of people were used to going out day and night, Xitang followed Zhao Pingjin into the room, and the two of them sat on the floor and chatted.

Zhao Pingjin leaned on the side of the bed and straightened his legs, reached out to wrap his hand around Xitang's shoulder, Xitang's head rested on his arm, and his body nested in his arms.

"What have you been doing lately since you got on vacation?"

"I'm doing chores on the crew."

"Do you plan to act in the future?"

"Well, I just love acting."

Zhao Pingjin looked faint: "Acting is very good." ”

Xitang understood very well in his heart, glanced at him and smiled: "You think it's unreliable, right?" ”

Zhao Pingjin was not surprised, he understood her intelligence: "No, it's just that in this industry, there is a lot of luck." ”

Xitang said: "I didn't think I could be a big name, I actually just like to work in the crew, although it looks messy, but in fact, everyone has a very clear division of labor, the first second may be noisy, the next second a dozen boards, the whole set instantly quieted down, and then the actors began to enter the state, that moment, it felt particularly wonderful." ”

Zhao Pingjin listened carefully, and only spoke after a while: "I'll find someone another day to see if there is any suitable drama recently." ”

Xitang smiled and didn't speak, she is definitely not the first girl from the art academy that Zhao Pingjin dated, they all know what they need, Qiao'er came out of this way, she has filmed several TV series, the best one has played the third girl, I know more producers and directors, and many people have been looking for her recently, she also remembers Xitang, every time there is a lack of a role in the play, she wants to pull her.

Xitang asked: "How many people are in your company?" ”

"As far as you've seen, Lao Guo and I are undergraduate classmates, Li Ming is one year lower than us, and Lao Guo's girlfriend resigned in the first half of the year to help, and Xiao Min has been outside to look at the office for me in the past two days."

"What for?"

"Let's move out to an office building."

"Shen Min is your own brother?"

Zhao Pingjin looked at her suspicious eyes: "What are you thinking, he is my grandfather's adopted child, and his parents left when he was very young." ”

They chatted for a while that afternoon, and both of them became sleepy in the afternoon, Zhao Pingjin took her in his arms, and then the two kissed.

On that day, everything that should have happened happened.

Xitang's first kiss and the first sexual experience happened at the same time, Zhao Pingjin carried her to the bed, kissed her earlobe and neck, and when his fingers unbuttoned the skirt on her body, she felt that everything was natural, just like the ice river in spring was about to melt, the stream would flow, and the wild cherry blossoms bloomed at the head of the stream, everything was destined to happen, she liked him, and she was willing to give it to him.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm just a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be good to you."

"Xitang, you follow me."

A month later, Xitang owned his first house in Beijing, with a white sports car parked in the garage.

Everything came too fast.

It's not the first time she's heard such a story, but when it happens to her, she's still secretly frightened.

After the start of the senior year, Xitang spent most of her time filming, she moved out of school to live outside, Zhao Pingjin and she sometimes go back to Jiayuan's new home when they rest, but Xitang accompanies him the most, or the house in Zhongguancun, Jingchuang, the house was bought by Zhao Pingjin before going abroad, Shen Min continued to study in Beijing after graduation, Zhao Pingjin left the key to Shen Min to live, and later Zhao Pingjin returned to China to start a business, and found Guo Tianjun, who used to play football at Tsinghua University, Guo Tianjun entered the financial department of a state-owned enterprise in Beijing after graduating from Tsinghua University. When Zhao Pingjin found him, he had been working for three years, and his salary had risen from 6,000 yuan to 6,500 yuan, Guo Tianjun knew his career prospects, the position in state-owned enterprises was stable, and the promotion opportunities were small, he was born in an ordinary place, his hometown was in a small city in the northeast, his parents were ordinary workers, his girlfriend had followed him for five years, and he could still only live in a rental house, the two of them worked like this, maybe they could save money to buy a two-bedroom apartment in Tongzhou in ten years, and then spend two hours commuting by subway every day, Guo Tianjun couldn't sleep and thought about it for three nights, resolutely decided to resign and start a business; Needless to say, Li Ming is Zhao Pingjin's child, there are four founders in the early days of Jingchuang, the biggest investor is Zhao Pingjin, Li Ming is in charge of the overall operation, Zhao Pingjin is in charge of technology, Shen Min is in charge of administration, and is also responsible for cooperating with Zhao Pingjin to write programs, Guo Tianjun is in charge of finance, and later he was too busy with more projects, Guo Tianjun's girlfriend Cheng Rong also resigned to join, responsible for assisting in human and secretarial work, many of Jingchuang's initial projects and plans were thought out in the living room of that house.

The two of them came out of the room that afternoon, it was already evening, and when Zhao Pingjin sent Xitang back to school, Zhao Pingjin gave her his key: "Come back tomorrow after filming." ”

Xitang knew that Zhao Pingjin meant to treat her as his own.

The next day, when Xitang returned to Jingchuang after the play, at six o'clock, Guo Tianjun came in and woke him up: "Zhouzi, get up." ”

In the past, everyone used to sleep in the company, a three-bedroom house, the living room was used for office, and a study room was used to store information, Shen Min's room became a chase shop, and Zhao Pingjin's room was relatively small, and sometimes he would sleep in it for a while when he was tired.

Xitang started working with them in Jingchuang, and found that Zhao Pingjin had a bad stomach, sometimes staying up too late, and having stomach pain at night, which was also the reason, she thought about it for a long time, and was reluctant to insist on sending her back to school every night no matter how tired he was, and she finally decided to move out and live together.

In addition to being able to cook noodles, Xitang is actually not very good at cooking, because her mother has always taken good care of her, in order to take care of Zhao Pingjin in her senior year, she began to learn how to make porridge and soup, and cooked a large pot of tomato and egg instant noodles in the middle of the night.

After the start of the first semester of his senior year, Xitang entered the group and began to shoot "Orange Boy", in order to enter the play as soon as possible after the movie started, Xitang often lived in the crew and grinded with co-actors, sometimes only once a week, every time he returned to Jingchuang, Zhao Pingjin sat in front of the computer, saw her open the door and came in, he stopped the movements of his hands, looked at Xitang with blank eyes, waited for her to walk to him, hugged him into his arms, and reached out to rub his short black hair.

Li Ming sat opposite Zhao Pingjin: "Ouch baby, if you don't come back, someone won't be able to live." ”

Zhao Pingjin put his face in Xitang's arms and said, "Get out." ”

Cheng Rong said to Xitang: "The relationship between the two of you is really good, I haven't seen Zhouzhou have such a good temper with anyone." ”

That morning, Zhao Pingjin went out with Li Ming to sign an important contract, and Xitang just rested, so he came to Jingchuang to make coffee and chat with Cheng Rong for a while.

Xitang smiled and said: "We haven't been together for long, you and Brother Jun are good, after so many years, the relationship is stable." ”

Cheng Rong pinched the spoon: "I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Everyone has their own thoughts, she also has her own predicament, and she and Zhao Pingjin are actually not so perfect.

The most troublesome time they had was in the winter of their junior year, when they had just fallen in love for a long time, and the two of them were so happy that they couldn't grow on each other, Zhao Pingjin even had to hold her hand under the table when she was eating in the restaurant, and when Xitang saw him answer the phone halfway through the meal, he shouted: "Grandpa." ”

Zhao Pingjin glanced at her, got up and went to the side to answer the phone, he often avoided her to answer the phone, Xitang knew that the phone he would try to answer anytime and anywhere was not a girl, it was his family, and it was often the elders who cared about him.

When he walked out, Xitang heard him say, "Eat with friends." ”

Two minutes later, Zhao Pingjin returned, and Xitang lowered his head and was silent.

Zhao Pingjin didn't notice the change in her mood, and reached out and picked her chin: "Well, don't eat." ”

Xitang glanced up at him: "Who is your friend?" ”

Zhao Pingjin came back to his senses, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still faint: "I'm next to you, didn't you tell your mother that you were with your classmates?" ”

"I haven't graduated yet."

"Huang Xitang, this has little to do with whether you graduated or not, right?"

"Zhao Pingjin," Xitang suddenly looked at him stubbornly, took out his mobile phone and began to dial: "I'll call my mother now." ”

Zhao Pingjin was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed her hand: "Don't make trouble, can you eat well?" ”

Xitang said angrily: "What are you doing in a weak heart? ”

Zhao Pingjin's face turned cold: "Huang Xitang, don't be pampered. ”

Xitang sneered, threw down the napkin and ran out.

Zhao Pingjin settled the account and chased out, in Sanlitun on a winter night, the fire trees and silver flowers on both sides of the street, neon flashing, under the trees, there were young men and women wearing down coats and carrying wine bottles laughing and passing by, Zhao Pingjin stood at the door of the restaurant and looked at the road on both sides, and could not see her figure.

Zhao Pingjin called her, but she didn't answer, he walked along a few streets around the restaurant, didn't find anyone, and drove back to Jiayuan's home, Huang Xitang didn't go back, she didn't live in the school dormitory anymore, and she had nowhere to go in Beijing.

He sent a message to Xitang's mobile phone: I'll wait for you downstairs at home, and wait until you come back.

Xitang stood in the brightly lit Taikoo Li shopping mall, saw the message on the mobile phone, she remembered Qiao'er's advice, she knew that she was ignorant, he had always let her stay by his side, he took her to meet friends, see children, and have a lot of pastimes, but Xitang had never touched the real intimacy of his life at all, his family, his parents, Zhao Pingjin had a far more unfathomable background than she could imagine.

She walked along the north of the workers' stadium for more than two hours, took a car home, and at about two o'clock in the morning, Zhao Pingjin was still waiting downstairs.

Seeing her, he didn't say anything, hugged her into his coat, pulled his hand out of his pocket and covered her ears: "Frozen, right?" ”

That's when they started with ease and sweetness, and as the two of them fell deeper and deeper, they began to seem like a dangerous relationship, the first time the two had such a violent awkward relationship, but they quickly reconciled again, Xitang never mentioned sensitive topics about him again, she loved him too much at that time, and loved him so much that she could be with him, and she could not care about anything.

In the second year they were together, Zhao Pingjin had a birthday, and Xitang wanted to give him a gift.

He had a birthday in the winter.

She has been preparing since the spring.

Xitang found a junior brother in the photography department before graduation, and then the junior brother took the camera and followed her to shoot for almost a week, and Xitang did the post-production and cut it into a short film of almost five minutes.

Zhao Pingjin has had a birthday for so many years, the schedule is almost the same, if people are in Beijing, it is generally on the weekend before his birthday, about a child and friends to get together, he has been in Beijing for many years, a lot of entertainment and favors, and the birthday can not be too casual, at that time Xitang and he talked about love for more than a year, Xitang followed him, Zhao Pingjin's hair children and she are very familiar, at that time Zhao Pingjin spoiled her, everyone looked up to her three points, Zhao Pingjin chartered a club, Xitang was responsible for the venue layout plan, The whole venue is decorated with blue as the main color, the overall effect is beautiful and atmospheric, that night is naturally the guests and hosts are happy, after dinner, everyone has fun inside.

It was almost twelve o'clock, after Xitang went out to confirm the cake, he winked at Ouyang Qingqing when he came back, Qingqing understood, walked over and dragged Zhao Pingjin down on the card table, and let him stand in the center of the room.

Shen Min extinguished the lights, and the crowd screamed in the darkness.

At that moment, a huge screen on the wall lit up and music played.

The arena slowly began to fall silent.

Li Ming stood in front of the computer next to the screen, held the microphone and said with a smile: "Zhouzi, before twelve o'clock, the last birthday gift, look at it." ”

The film began to play on the big screen, Beijing in spring, the green trees and pink flowers are like a sea, the willow catkins are flying next to the red wall of the Forbidden City, and the thousands of vast buildings like a mirage of the International Trade Center in the fog, and different smiling faces are quickly switched on the screen.

In the practice room of the film academy, the girls in the dance department have a split and a cold and cool face; On the lawn of Tsinghua University, a young boy with glasses is slightly shy; In the early morning in Yuan Dadu Park, an aunt who practiced Tai Chi sword was full of kindness; In the alley in the afternoon, a happy child running with a sugar gourd.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Zhao."

"Happy birthday, senior brother."

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, happy birthday."

The face on the screen slowly changed to Zhao Pingjin's familiar people, Qian Donglin, Fang Langtong, Lu Xiaojiang, Shen Min...... At the end of that film, it was Huang Xitang on the set, and the makeup artist came to touch up her makeup between the shooting, she turned her face to the camera, smiled mischievously and winked: "Happy birthday." ”

The camera pans upwards to freeze the green trees in the bright sun, then slowly pushes away into a blurry vista, and then the screen slowly goes black, the streamers fall from the venue, and the friends begin to whistle, mixed with screams and applause, the candlelit cake is pushed in, and there are endless admirations of envy.

"Zhouzhou, where did you find such a cute girlfriend?"

"Zhouzi, I'm so envious."

Zhao Pingjin was full of emotion, holding Xitang's face and kissing it hard.

The surroundings were too noisy, and Zhao Pingjin couldn't hear what Xitang said at all, so he had to stand on tiptoe and shout loudly in his ear: "This treatment is only once, and it will be gone in the future, just take it out and put it once a year." ”

It was more than three o'clock in the night when he got home that night, and in order to prepare a birthday party for him, Xitang was so tired that he lay down directly as soon as he got home.

Zhao Pingjin drank some wine, but he didn't feel sleepy, he turned on the computer that Huang Xitang brought back, and saw that the folder was still open, and there were almost 3 G materials stored on it, Zhao Pingjin took a look, she cut several versions, he opened them one by one and looked at them, a few were rough cut versions, and when it came to the last one, he found that this video was twenty-five seconds longer than the one broadcast at the birthday party.

He watched it again, and sure enough, after Huang Xitang's shot ended, the screen went black, he didn't turn it off, and then the camera lit up again.

Zhao Pingjin re-saw a long shot of Beijing's spring skyscape.

Xitang wrote a poem by hand and then synthesized it into the film, and the lines in the background emerged paragraph by piece.

"I even believe that you own the entire universe.

I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains,

Bring you bell-shaped flowers.

Black hazelnuts, as well as baskets of wild kisses.

I'm going to

Treat you like spring to a cherry tree. ”

Zhao Pingjin sat stunned on the sofa for a few seconds, walked into the room, lay on the bed, and kissed her deeply.

Note: The poem is a quote from Neruda's "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair"
