Chapter 1: She's Back
wedge
The scorching sun in July, the flowers are vibrant, the rainstorm is pouring in July, the trees are growing wildly, and the night in July is sleepless, I miss your appearance, July, and it is July of another year.
July is a changeable season, not only affects people's mood, but also affects people's travel, just now is the scorching sun of the good weather, this blink of an eye is cloudy, as if at any time can come to a earth-shattering heavy rain, this is a high-end business district, high-rise buildings are dazzling, it is the peak period of work, even if the sky is not beautiful, it does not affect the rhythm of people to go home. A large black cloud swirled in the gloomy sky, and the people in the streets were surging in a hurry under the fear of being dominated by the heavy rain. In contrast, Xu Qiubai is particularly leisurely.
On a huge desk in the office, there are stacks of drawings neatly stacked, pencils and tool rulers are where they should be, but looking at the progress chart on the workbench, it is obvious that he has to work an extra night shift today, but Xu Qiubai doesn't seem to be in a hurry, he is still fiddling with his paintings, yes, it is a portrait of a woman, not very old, with long hair and a shawl, with a pair of oval frames, and the phone rang when he was concentrating, it was Xiao Xingqi.
Xiao Xingqi: Hey, what about people? Are you still alive?
Xu Qiubai: Hongfu is still alive, what?
Xiao Xingqi: It's good to be alive! Tell you something!
Xu Qiubai: Say
Xiao Xingqi: Do you remember Xin Moyan?
Xu Qiubai was taken aback: Who?
Xiao Xingqi: Xin Moyan is the one you have had a crush on for almost nine years.
Xu Qiubai said embarrassedly: Oh, that's all in the past, why do you always mention it, people have been married a long time ago, and now they have children.
Xiao Xingqi: Yo, so you know! Looks like you're still paying attention to her!
Xu Qiubai: You know, we got in touch a year ago.
Xiao Xingqi: Wow, wow~~~ Tell me, how did you get in touch??
Xu Qiubai: Don't gossip like this, it's okay, if you have something to say, it's okay, get out!
Xiao Xingqi: Cut, don't say it, Lao Tzu won't listen to it yet, hum~~
Xu Qiubai: You're still energetic, aren't you? Is there something wrong with you? It's okay, I'm busy! I don't have time to accompany you here.
Xiao Xingqi: Be busy, don't look for me if you regret it later.
Xu Qiubai: Xiao Xingqi, believe it or not, I told Zixin about the you did back then!
Xiao Xingqi: Okay, okay, always threaten me with this, I'm afraid of you, tell you about our class reunion next month, I heard, she will also come~~ Bad laugh/
Xu Qiubai: Why did she come, didn't she come a few years ago?
Xiao Xingqi: Of course, it's our family Zixin's credit! Don't forget that our family Zixin is the squad leader, the squad leader~
Xu Qiubai: Khan / Okay, I know that your family is amazing, alas, when is it?
Xiao Xingqi: When it has not been decided, now it is just a matter of determining the number of people, as for the specific time, I will inform you at that time, don't worry, I will arrange a good position for you at that time~
Xu Qiubai: Even if you know each other, I will definitely wrap a big red envelope when you two get married
Xiao Xingqi: That's necessary, hey, is the painting I asked you to draw for me?
Xu Qiubai looked at the painting in the painting cabinet and said: It's been done a long time ago, I'm dealing with it later, and then in the upper frame, don't worry that I can't delay your proposal
Xiao Xingqi: Hey, how do you say this, pay attention to it, I know that you are reliable, don't say it, I have to pick up Zixin for dinner, I will implement it for you as soon as possible, hang up!
Xu Qiubai: Go, don't wait to be late, it's another training,
Xiao Xingqi: Don't talk cool there, when the party comes, you will definitely not be as good as me,
Xu Qiubai: Yes, it's not as good as you, it's not as good as you are afraid of your wife~
Xiao Xingqi: How many times have I said it, that's love, it's love~~
Xu Qiubai: Okay, okay, love, it's love, go ahead, if you don't go, you really have to be trained.
Xiao Xingqi: It's all you, gone~
Putting down the phone, Xu Qiubai fell into deep thought, yes, it's been nine years, they haven't seen each other for nine years, even if they got in touch a year ago, it was a message that they knew from others by chance, although they occasionally sent text messages, but this year added up to only a dozen, he wasn't sure if she remembered him, and even doubted that she knew that the person who texted her just a few days ago was an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years.
Yes, he is starting to lose confidence, he is not like the big engineer who was promoted in only six months with his excellent skills and professionalism, nor is he like always wearing a calm smile and calm appearance in front of people, he was a little panicked, after thinking for a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly, yes, she is married, what can I do? The crush that ended up without a problem is the most annoying, hey, it's fate, who didn't dare to confess at the time, thinking of this, Xu Qiubai sighed, put away the painting, and looked at the half-dried engineering drawings, he had to step up, the original unhurried work was disrupted by this sudden class reunion, and he could take a vacation after saving up for two years.
The next day, he went to the company with two big panda eyes, and his colleagues joked that he didn't do anything bad last night, and he was so spiritless today, Xu Qiubai just smiled and didn't respond, there are too many such things every day, there are many people in the company every day, alas, rubbed his eyebrows, and started a day of boring daze, on duty on Sunday, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Xu Qiubai sat in front of the computer, his eyes staring at the screen, but what he was thinking about was the dream he had last night
It was a scene many years ago, she was sitting in a corner of the study room studying, while he was arguing with a few friends, in such a noisy environment, the other girls were looking at them with a very contemptuous gaze, only she didn't, she didn't even raise her head, just studied by herself, as if the people next to him didn't exist, he slowly restrained a little.
Just when others thought it was calm, a male classmate walked over with a big grin, probably trying to pull out the book in her hand and make a fuss with her, but I didn't expect the male classmate to pay attention to his feet when he passed, and was mixed by a stool, and almost planted a dog to eat Xiang, and the boy who was about to fall to the ground suddenly stopped in mid-air, she actually dodged his hand, and also reached out to help him, raised his head,
He smiled at him and said, "Are you okay?" The male classmate said awkwardly that it was okay and walked away. But Xu Qiubai, who watched the whole process of the matter, was fascinated by her smile, and his heart missed a beat at the moment, that is, from then on, he deeply remembered the smiling face at dusk in the afternoon, and also began a young and long crush, and he was just 16 years old at that time~
