071 - The Year of Loneliness
The doorbell rang at the right time, and Xi Xi hurriedly went downstairs, muttering, "No, someone came to the door with the card that was just sent...... Yes! Senior! ”
Seeing Liu Zhifeng standing at the door with an orange cat in his arms, Xi Xi's jaw almost dropped.
"Xi Xi, your cat is really spiritual." Liu Zhifeng praised with a smile, "It came to me with a bag of potato chips and accompanied me to eat potato chips and play games." I think this must have been arranged by Xi Xi, knowing that I was only one person, so I asked him to accompany me. ”
The orange cat meowed, jumped from Liu Zhifeng's arms, and got into the room. Only then did Xi Xi wake up from the shock: "Ah! Senior, please come in first! ”
Liu Zhifeng sat down on the sofa and continued to boast: "Xi Xi, every time I come to you, I feel very warm. ”
"Uh...... Senior, have you had dinner? Regarding Liu Zhifeng's praise, Xi Xi didn't know how to answer decently, and immediately changed the topic.
"Oh, not yet, I forgot if you didn't say it." Liu Zhifeng smiled slightly embarrassedly, "There is nothing to eat in the university town at this time, I have to go to the shopping mall in the city center." ”
"Uh...... I didn't eat it either, senior, if you don't dislike it, I can cook noodles......"
"This ......" seems a bit out of place.
"But I only have instant noodles ......"
"Ah, it's good to have instant noodles to eat, and after going to the city to eat at this point, I'm afraid there will be no car back. Looks like I'm going to have to go to the city tomorrow to stock up! He suddenly realized that if he refused, she would think he was disgusted with instant noodles and that he was indeed hungry.
"Senior, let's go to the rooftop to watch the fireworks tomorrow night!"
"Oh, yes!"
"Senior, will you go back to the orphanage in the next few days?"
"No return." Liu Zhifeng explained, "I will send a sum of money to the dean, and just go back, it's too remote there." ”
Xi Xi could see that Liu Zhifeng didn't want to talk about this topic, and thought to himself, it turned out that the senior's life there was not happy. Well, tomorrow she will go back, her mind will arrive, ask for an account again, and transfer the money directly in the future, and she will never contact there again when she is full of 100,000.
"Senior, let's have a reunion dinner together tomorrow night, that ...... I have no relatives or friends, I only know you. ”
"I'm sorry, Xi Xi, I have a friend tomorrow. But I'll be back by 0:00 to watch the fireworks with you. ”
"It's okay, I still have Tachibana." Xi Xi pretended to smile casually, secretly blaming himself for being too anxious.
After sending Liu Zhifeng away, Xi Xi opened the webpage after washing, and revised Nieluo's story again and put it in the manuscript box. Niero had agreed to publish it, saying that he also wanted to know about that dream of his. She wouldn't tell him that after the adaptation, even if he saw it, he wouldn't know that the person was him, let alone realize which story was his dream.
I accidentally saw a few comments, and I was a reader, not an author. Xi Xi suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the unhappiness in front of him instantly dissipated, and he began to make up the next story.
She suddenly remembered something, hugged the orange cat, and opened the photo sent by Nero: "Little orange, this girl should be just an ordinary person, right?" ”
The orange cat replied without even looking at it: "This should be his original fate." The bird let go, and this fate appeared. ”
"Xiao Tang, can you help Xu Yicheng see where his fate is? As long as he finds his fate, he will be able to completely let go of the warmth, and it will be a merit to you! ”
"Heh, I'm not an old man!" The orange cat jumped back into its nest, thinking that it was one, but it didn't bother to pay attention to her.
The next day, Xixi got up early in the morning, and the university town was in the easternmost suburb of N City, and the economy developed because of the presence of more than a dozen universities. The orphanage is located in the northernmost suburb of N City, bordering the neighboring provinces, and is the most remote and backward place in the whole N City, and there are no buses after 4:30 p.m. Her trip is equivalent to crossing the entire N city, and she is still going back and forth, and she is afraid that she will not be able to come back if she is late.
The director of the orphanage knew her intention, and immediately showed a bright smile that she had never seen before, it should be said that she had seen it, but it was not for her, but for the leaders who came to inspect and those who came to donate. Xi Xi suddenly felt bored, and knew that it would be better to ask the senior directly for an account.
When I went back as when I came, it was empty everywhere, except for the supermarket. Because of the orange cat's strong request, Xi Xi went to the supermarket again and bought enough dried fish for him to eat for half a month, and did not forget to send out a few more cards halfway.
Back at home, Xi Xi fried a few dishes for the first time, she thought she could make a table of delicious food like warmth, but the fact was that not only did the orange cat dislike it, but even she couldn't eat it herself. At the same time, she felt glad that the senior did not agree to have a reunion dinner together, otherwise it would be a big shame. But on this Chinese New Year's Eve, she really didn't want to eat instant noodles, so she simply cooked a clear soup hot pot and dipped it in some seasoning.
Next, turn on the computer and prepare to watch the Spring Festival Gala, although it seems that there is nothing to see, but every Chinese New Year's Eve in the past is to watch the Spring Festival Gala, it seems to have become a habit, not watching it seems to be missing something.
Before eight o'clock, the TV was already festive, thinking of sitting alone on the bus just now, Xi Xi sighed, in this university town for Chinese New Year's Eve, the only thing that can feel the taste of the New Year is the Spring Festival Gala and WeChat group. Seeing that the circle of friends was swiped by one blessing after another, she didn't bother to like it, and a few of these blessings were sincere, but they were just fun. The WeChat group was also just as lively, and several groups played with red envelope rain, and she was not interested in participating.
I picked up my phone and planned to send a few blessing messages, but I didn't know who to send it to, so send it to my senior, as if I was urging him to come back early. In order not to miss Liu Zhifeng's news, she set the message prompt to a very recognizable voice, and blocked the group one by one. Every time the message prompt sounded, she picked up her phone excitedly, but in exchange for disappointment again and again.
It was a message of blessings, and some of them she couldn't even remember who they were, and she didn't know when they were added perfunctorily, and they didn't do anything other than expand them. And at first glance, it was copied and sent in groups, and she had no desire to reply. When she saw someone she knew, she politely replied: "Thank you!" Happy New Year! ”
It suddenly occurred to me that Mr. Ruoshui was alone abroad at the moment, so he should be very lonely. She edited a message wishing her a happy new year and saying she liked the house so much that she would buy it when she had saved enough.
When eight o'clock came, Xi Xi set the message prompt to a prompt sound and vibration, holding the orange cat in one hand and the mobile phone in the other hand to watch the Spring Festival Gala seriously. This cat is very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, but its attention is focused on the actress's figure and appearance, and Xi Xi really wants to beat it to death. However, when it comes to traditional acrobatics, martial arts and opera, it can be seen surprisingly serious.
"Hey, do you understand?" Xi Xi said curiously.
"I can't understand it, I've been listening to this Kunqu opera for hundreds of years, and I've heard all the earlier loose songs and minor tunes, and I used to go to the song stage to listen to the music! But you, do you understand? The orange cat said disdainfully.
Xi Xi shook her head honestly, she really didn't understand.
"Alas, I said you, if you don't carry forward such a good culture, you have to chase after the things that are popular now."
"You can't say the same thing, a lot of the songs are good nowadays."
"There are some songs that you can listen to, but there are also some that are like ghosts crying wolf, and there are those who don't understand bullshit, vulgar, indecently dressed, and their hair is dyed like chicken feathers, they are all sought after, and your human aesthetics are really strange!"
was actually despised by a cat, Xi Xi expressed his anger, but he had no words to refute, so he had to say: "Anyway, I don't want to pursue it, you despise those who pursue it, and despise what I do!" ”
Waiting until 23:50, Xi Xi finally waited for Liu Zhifeng's message: "Xi Xi, I'm back, I'm waiting for you on the rooftop!" ”
Xi Xi excitedly grabbed the down jacket that had been prepared long ago and put it on, and rushed out of the door, and the orange cat quickly jumped on her shoulder.
By the time she reached the rooftop, Liu Zhifeng had already arrived. The two of them found a place to sit down on the steps, silently looking at the sky without speaking. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no moon, and the stars appeared exceptionally bright.
With a bang, the sky shone with brilliant colors, breaking the silence. Xi Xi glanced at his phone, it was not yet twelve o'clock, it may be that some people lit fireworks in advance in order to occupy a place.
Due to environmental pollution, fireworks are not allowed in the urban area, and the suburbs can only be set off in designated places on Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, and the designated place is not far from the apartment building where Xi Xi lives, and the roof of the apartment has become a good place to enjoy fireworks.
However, what Xi Xi wants to watch is not the fireworks here, but the fireworks by the river, which is the only place in the urban area where fireworks can be set off, and they are set off on a large scale by professionals, which can be regarded as making up for the regret that the city cannot watch fireworks. It's just a pity, maybe it's too far away, Xi Xi couldn't get her wish, she secretly decided that this time next year, she would ask her seniors to go to the river to watch the fireworks.
Even though I couldn't see the fireworks party, the fireworks at the designated lighting point were also very good, and they went on and off for half an hour before they ended. Xi Xi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and inadvertently turned his head to see Liu Zhifeng beside him, without any expression on his face. Doesn't he like it?
When the fireworks dispersed, Liu Zhifeng said lightly: "Let's go!" The tone was still very gentle, but Xi Xi felt a little distant.
The next day, Xi Xi slept until he woke up naturally, and as soon as he got up, he was urged by the orange cat to send small cards. Annoyed by it, Xi Xi took it to the city center to visit the mall. There are still a lot of people in the mall, and the orange cat said excitedly: "Yes, we are looking for this kind of place, we come to visit every day!" ”
Xi Xi suddenly realized how stupid his hoarding behavior was two days ago, isn't it fragrant to have a meal in the mall? What bread to eat? What instant noodles to eat? With this cat urging, how can you stay home!
