Chapter 27: Goodbye
The autumn of the ice city lasted not long, only half a month of manic autumn wind to blow the yellow leaves on the trees clean, the day before was still under the tree to take pictures, the next day when you go out will see a place of fallen leaves. You can see a different scenery just every day or two.
Lin Qingyang was lying on the bed and flipped through the photos on his mobile phone, the dark green and goose yellow gradient leaves, the colorful glow in the evening of the ice day, the old couple snuggling up to each other by the lake, the ice bridge in the twilight, the maple forest dyed orange and red, and the meteors in the sky.
It's been almost half a month since I watched the meteor shower that day, and there has been no news of Su Zhiqi.
After another week, Su Zhiqi finally got permission from the doctor to get out of bed and move, and the doctor was surprised that he could recover so quickly.
"It's time to wrap it up."
Su Zhiqi avoided the secret guard and left the hospital. Looking at the bustling street outside the hospital, cars are blocked all the way, and there is no shortage of people who have been honking their horns "Dididi", people are in a hurry, each with their own things and places.
Reach out to take a taxi, and the driver can always come from any lane, "Where are you going?" ”
"The main entrance of Bingcheng University."
Taxis are probably the fastest cars in the city, and they can avoid all speed limits and yellow and red lights, as if they were playing fast and furious. As a passenger, you always have to have a strong heart to endure the thrill of almost scratching.
It's a pity that Su Zhiqi just sat in the back woodenly, looking at the road ahead, like a statue.
When you arrive at the ice gate, scan the code, transfer money, get off the bus, walk across the overpass, enter the café that Ice Lord frequents most across the street, sit down, take out your mobile phone, and press the most familiar number to dial the phone.
"Hello?"
"It's me, Su Zhiqi."
"I know! Where have you been for half a month? ”
"Do you have something to do at home, come to the café across the street? I want to see you. ”
"Okay."
Lin Qingyang quickly sat up from the bed to clean up and dress himself, and before leaving, he saw that the strong wind outside the window blew the leaves down in handfuls, and people were bent their necks and wrapped in clothes, it must be very cold outside.
suddenly remembered that it was still in the summer, when I went out to play with Su Zhiqi, I accidentally touched his cold hand, and brought him a hand warmer from the small basket in front of the bed.
In the coffee shop, Su Zhiqi was sitting on his lap, ready to have one last conversation with Lin Qingyang.
Jingle bell.
The wind chimes at the door were hit again and again, and Su Zhiqi turned his head again and again to look. There are little sisters who hold hands and chat together, there are little couples who come together holding hands, there is a homework party where a person comes to put a notebook and "da-da-da" typing, and there are also people who order a cup of coffee and read a book, all kinds of people, comfortable or busy.
The coffee in front of Su Zhiqi did not move, all the foam on the surface disappeared, and the drawn patterns had already been stirred and mixed together by Su Zhiqi, and the temperature was no longer hot.
Ding Ding Dong.
Lin Qingyang came in wearing a thick windbreaker and a woolen hat, and it seemed to be colder outside than just now. Raising her hand, she went to the front desk to order and quickly walked over and sat down.
"You finally showed up, where have you been these days, why don't you answer the phone?"
Lin Qingyang rubbed his hands and said after taking a breath.
Su Zhiqi held the coffee cup in both hands and did not answer immediately.
"I, I've got something going on at home. Today......"
He slowly lowered his head and stirred the already cold coffee.
"What's wrong today?"
Su Zhiqi's nose was slightly red, his brows were furrowed, and he put down the stirring stick.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you today."
"Farewell? What the hell is going on? ”
"I had an accident at home, and I had to transfer to Los Angeles."
The waiter served Lin Qingyang's coffee, the smiling face pattern floating on it twisted and twisted, thanked him, and then spoke to Su Zhiqi.
"Another transfer? Could it be that you're a vampire? It doesn't get old, so you have to change places every year. ”
Su Zhiqi held back a wry smile, "Yes, I'm a little monster, and I need to avoid the crowd." ”
Lin Qingyang looked at Su Zhiqi's face like that crooked smiling face, and felt really uncomfortable, so angry that he threw the hand warmer that he hadn't taken out in his bag.
"Hey, do you think I'll believe your rhetoric?"
"I'm sorry, I really have something to hide." Su Zhiqi didn't dare to look at Lin Qingyang's eyes anymore, he wanted to escape from here, he couldn't hold it anymore.
"I'll go first."
I wanted to touch her head again, but my hand just stretched out, and the off-white hat reminded him that it was not okay.
"Bye-bye."
Lin Qingyang watched Su Zhiqi walk to the door like this.
"Su Zhiqi! Can you ......"
Su Zhiqi, who was pushing the door, stopped and wanted to hear what Lin Qingyang had to say.
"Stay safe. Good bye. ”
"Goodbye."
The light that suddenly appeared in Su Zhiqi's eyes disappeared. Pushing open the door and walking out of the café, a gust of wind came out, forcing him to tighten his clothes.
The face is wet, there are two lines of tears, and a few snowflakes.
It's the first snow.
