57. Like a song

Lin Su listened carefully to what I had encountered in Bali, and looked at the photos I took. In the photo, only the back of the woman's thin waist and long legs can be seen.

"Is she pretty?" Lin Xu asked me. I didn't answer because I didn't think it mattered at all. If I had to say it, then I would say that the woman was more beautiful than the current Lin Su, but not as good as the previous Lin Su.

"Send me the picture." Lin Xu said.

"What are you going to do?"

She looked at the photo I sent and was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know either. ”

A former colleague came out to go to the toilet, Lin Xu hurriedly turned off the screen and smiled at her, and the colleague asked us why we were hiding here and didn't see anyone for a long time. We vaguely responded and said that we would go back.

Lin Xu walked ahead of me, and I remembered what Xu Yijing had said, so I rushed up and grabbed her, "Don't rush to make a decision." ”

She was slightly dazed.

"What I want to say is, don't rush to do anything. Think about what you want, what kind of life you want, what is more important to you. ”

"If it were you, what would you do?" There was a bit of begging in Lin Su's eyes, as if she longed for me to give her a decision. I shook my head, "I don't know, after all, I'm not you, and you're not me." ”

"Yes." Lin Xu's expression was gloomy, "Anyway, thank you." ”

We returned to the private room, Yan Hua was hugging a girl in the administration and crying, talking about how good this girl was to her when she first arrived at the company, and the girl was also in tears. Next to him, the male designer of our group was persuading Yan Hua with a big tongue, saying that Yan Hua was the kindest and most down-to-earth girl he had ever met, and another girl who was a customer quit, pulling him to ask her if she was not down-to-earth and kind? The designer hurriedly begged for mercy, and Yan Hua also burst into laughter, and followed a few words.

The whole atmosphere looks very much like the eve of college graduation, those young people who are about to go their separate ways, all the good or not-so-good bits and pieces of the past are stewed into a pot of memories.

I looked at and drank with a smile, and Lin Su sat next to me, but seemed to be outside of this atmosphere.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Lin Xu said that he was going back to take care of the children, so he said goodbye to everyone and left the table early. As soon as she left, Yan Hua leaned over and asked me in a whisper, "What's wrong with Lin Su?" Why does it look so bad? ”

"I'm tired of taking care of the kids." I say.

Lin Jiangnan sent a message to ask me how I was eating, but I didn't go home. I drank a little too much, looked at his news in a daze, laughed secretly, and asked him, "What do you think, young man?" ”

"If you knew, don't ask knowingly."

"If you don't tell you, you won't tell you, you won't tell you." I replied to him with a voice.

"Come on, your feet are already on the accelerator."

I laughed twice and sent him a position.

"I'll call you when it's time."

Yan Hua leaned over again, "Mr. Su, what's the matter?" ”

"What?" I held my phone in my arms, held it to my chest, and watched her warily. She twitched her eyebrows twice, "There's a situation!" ”

"Look at the way you gossip!" I pushed her aside, "Go, get the wine out of your glass!" ”

"What's so embarrassing, if there is really a situation, it's too late for me to be happy for you." Yan Hua took the wine glass, raised his head and took a sip, and sighed: "Isn't this a decision to go back to my hometown, my mother has already begun to arrange a blind date for me during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Hey, the schedule is so tight."

"I can say that." Yan Hua pursed his lips, "But I'm quite worried, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it high." ”

"How?"

"Although I didn't make a name for myself in Beiya, I came here at the age of eighteen, and for ten years, I listened to and watched the people and things in this big city, and every time I returned to my hometown, I felt that the concerns and ideas of my friends and classmates were different from mine. I'm not saying which is higher or lower, but it just makes a difference. Yan Hua was very worried about this, "Alas, it's okay to be a friend, if this is really a love marriage, do you think it will be particularly awkward?" ”

"I said?"

"Well, what do you think? Although you won't have this problem, you are from the north anyway. ”

"You don't have to worry too much. You think, you lived there before you came to Beiya, and you definitely didn't feel estranged at that time, since you can be changed here after you come to Beiya, then you can also be changed there when you go back. There may be a period of discomfort, but I think the impact of the environment on people is huge, and it is good to calm down. ”

I talked eloquently with the strength of wine, in fact, I did not think about this question at all, and I could not imagine what the difference was in Yanhua, but I dared to persuade it so arbitrarily.

Anyway, Yan Hua is definitely going back, people, when there is no way to change one thing, they will naturally adapt.

Because the next day was a working day, the colleagues in the private room began to say goodbye and leave the table one after another, and the blessings and words flew all over the house again, and then gradually deserted, and finally I and Yan Hua were left.

It was almost ten o'clock when Lin Jiangnan called, and we left the private room together. It was foggy and bitterly cold outside, and the street lights and neon were much hazy, which also cleared my mind.

Yan Hua took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's so cold, did you say it's going to snow?" ”

"When I was younger, there were several snowfalls every winter, but now it's hard, and there's a lot of haze."

"There's no snow in my hometown, so I wish there was one here." Yan Hua stretched. I asked her if she wanted to take her home, and she refused. She said: "I'll take a stroll around again and see the night view of Beijing." ”

I watched the heroic words of the night and shed tears and said goodbye, but only this sentence was sentimental.

Lin Jiangnan received me with a sad expression, but he didn't ask anything. I was a little drowsy, nestled in the sub-seat with my eyes closed, thinking about whether Yan Hua was walking on the street in the cold wind at this moment, looking at the familiar street scene, looking at strange passers-by, thinking about all the bits and pieces worth remembering in her ten years in this city, those happy, sad, lively, lonely, a silent farewell alone, farewell to this city, farewell to her most youthful and beautiful decade.

"You say......" I opened my eyes and asked Lin Jiangnan slowly, "Will you also leave Beiqi and go back to Xi'an one day?" ”

"I don't know, probably not."

"Why?"

"I don't have a home in Xi'an." He said.

My heart ached, my mouth flattened, and suddenly I began to sob.

"This ...... This...... What's going on? Lin Jiangnan hurriedly found a roadside to stop the car, and pulled a napkin for me, "Drink too much?" Or has something happened? ”

"It's fine." I blew my nose, "All of a sudden, I'm sad." ”

He probably thought it was funny, rubbed my head, and got back into the car, "Then you can close your eyes and sleep for a while." ”

I didn't sleep, looked out the window and said to myself: "Yanhua's hometown is quite far from Beijing, and there is no tourism, I'm afraid I won't have much chance to see her again in the future." She is quite good, very down-to-earth and practical, I hope she can go smoothly in her hometown. ”

I muttered as I took out my phone and pulled out a song, an old song, from the music app, which was the same as our class chorus when I graduated from high school. At that time, "The Intersection of Phoenix Blossoms" already had other classes, so the teacher took out the tape he pressed at the bottom of the box and recommended this song to us.

I sent this song to Yan Hua, and at the same time pressed the play button myself. The slightly thin voice of the cell phone rang in the car.

You and I are like the melody that drifts into the wind and flies through the years

I have my far

You have your footprints

Gently hold the sunlight and slowly melt the frozen memory

I think of you deeply in the midst of the song......

"What's this song called?" Lin Jiangnan asked me.

"It's called 'Like a Song.'" I said, feeling inexplicably happy after speaking, so we both laughed, diluting the sadness when I said goodbye to Yan Hua.

"I saw Lin Su today." I said to him, "She's lost a lot of weight, and she looks very haggard." ”

"Have you forgiven her?"

"Hmm." I nodded, "Maybe others think that she was particularly unrighteous and selfish that day, and this kind of friend is not worth making, but I just don't get angry now." Really, I'm just not angry. I don't know why, but it's tiring to act like you're angry even if you're not angry. So I'll do whatever I think in my heart. ”

"Well, you can do whatever you want."

"Especially after talking to her for a while today, I even feel guilty that I was angry with her before."

Lin Jiangnan smiled, "That's not going to happen." ”

"Really. She has to be busy with work again, and she has to worry about the children, and she actually feels something about her husband's derailment, so many things that make her tired, and then my business is still added to it. I feel sorry for her. ”

"And what is she going to do?"

"I don't know. I can only persuade her not to be impulsive, she must think clearly, and there is nothing more to say. ”

"No matter how much outsiders say, it's useless, and things have to go through by themselves in the end."

I looked sideways at Lin Jiangnan, "Why are you so old-fashioned, it sounds like you're forty or fifty years old." Supposedly, at your age, shouldn't you say, 'What else is there to hesitate about, your husband is out of the rails and you don't get divorced, keep it for the New Year'?" ”

"Isn't that all your teaching? Do you think I'm old again? Lin Jiangnan said with a smile.

"If only you were older." I say.

"Huh? How do you say that? ”

I closed my eyes and turned my head, wrapped my coat tightly and made a 'Your friend is offline', "Sleepy, sleep." ”

Lin Jiangnan was quite helpless: "You are still in a high rank, I still have to continue to study." ”

I closed my eyes and smiled, "Oh yes, thank you for teaching me how to do it." ”

"What's the solution?"

"I reconciled with my mother."

Lin Jiangnan sent me home, only to the elevator, and it seemed that he remembered my father's words. Naturally, I wouldn't drag him to the house for a coffee or tea, so I waved goodbye to him in the elevator.

"See you tomorrow." He said.

When I got on the elevator, I thought, fortunately his house is close to my house, otherwise the daily fuel cost would be enough for him. After going home and taking a shower, most of the alcohol dissipated, and I was talking to Piggy with my wet hair, and suddenly Lin Jiangnan's phone call came in again.

"What's the matter, insomnia?" I asked him.

"Open the curtains."

"Huh?" As I walked towards the window, I smiled and said, "You're not going to stand outside the window, are you?" My family can live on the fifteenth floor, don't scare me. ”

I opened the curtains and froze.

Lin Jiangnan's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Look, it's snowing." ”
