Thousands of lights are bright, the air is wafting with the residual smell of gunpowder, after midnight, the people who keep the year have gone to sleep, the streets and alleys in the distance, you can also hear the sound of firecrackers, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of households turn on the lights to sleep, indicating auspicious high light, welcome the traditional customs of the God of Wealth.

I fell on the sofa, looking at the phone screen with a surprised face, Wang Ling asked me to find her, but did not say when I came, what is the meaning, Chinese New Year's Eve is the day of family reunion, she has no reason to drive thousands of miles to the north.

I stood up and looked out into my parents' bedroom, and when I heard the familiar sound of sleep, I tiptoed to get dressed, grabbed my car keys, and walked out of the house.

The cold wind was raging outside, it was very cold, I wrapped my coat tightly and got into the car, Wang Ling sent me the location information is a hotel, I started the car, because the temperature was too low, the air conditioner blew out a cold and biting cold, I frowned, found Wang Ling's mobile phone number, and dialed it directly.

After a moment's pause, she answered the call.

"Hey, where are you? Are you coming to my city? ”

I was the first to speak, a little anxious in my hurried voice.

"Yes, come to me, I'm scared alone."

Her voice was very tired, as if she hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and I was a little worried when I heard it, but I responded lightly: "Okay, wait for me." ”

After that, I followed the route of the navigation and went to the hotel.

After about 20 minutes of driving, I came to the downstairs of this hotel, I parked the car and walked quickly into the lobby on the first floor.

"Welcome and Happy New Year."

A woman in her thirties stood behind the bar, wearing a red cheongsam, tall, slender and shapely, exuding an elegant and dignified atmosphere from the inside out.

"Uh, I'm looking for someone."

I looked at the decoration layout of this hotel, in the spacious hall, there are two black sofas, near the door, there is a fountain repaired, on the top of the golden glazed shed, there is a crystal chandelier, fluorescent flickering, flickering, adding a touch of elegant atmosphere to the whole hall.

Such a hotel, in our small city is also one of the best models, because the per capita consumption level here is very low, the price is not high, there are many young people choose to spend the rest of their lives here, they are not impatient, do not fight, there is Mr. Zhuge attitude of the world, good as water, indifferent to fame and fortune, quiet and far-reaching, this is a concept of life, but also as a contemporary young people, content with self-interest, the noble feelings of returning to the hometown.

After swiping my ID card, I took the elevator to the 18th floor, and the entire corridor was unusually quiet, and there was a sense of desolation when people went to the empty building.

I looked at the house number, walked forward for a moment, stopped in front of the door of 224, I leaned on the door panel and listened for a while, there was no sound inside, as if no one had lived in it for a long time, I coughed lightly and knocked on the door.

I stopped and waited, but there was still no sound inside, I was a little surprised, and I slapped the door again, and whispered, "Hey, are you in there?" ”

The door was finally opened, and she was dressed in a white nightgown, with wavy curly hair hanging down her shoulders, her face was pale, her lips were dry, and her already slender figure seemed to have been a little thinner.

She threw herself into my arms, crying silently, her soft body rose and fell, with a hint of trembling and sobbing, I hugged her tightly and whispered, "Why are you here, such a long distance, are you here by car?" ”

She curled up in my arms and nodded tiredly, I sighed, rubbed her hair and said, "Then why don't you tell me in advance, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and time is wasted on the journey." ”

She slowly raised her head, beautiful eyes, hanging a few crystal clear tears, I pulled her into the room, the facilities and environment here are very good, the design of the room decoration is a bit like the theme style of utopia, in the blink of an eye, it can give people a young and indulgent visual enjoyment.

I pressed my hand on her forehead, it was very hot, it made me a little flustered, I looked at her and said, "Are you sick, you have a fever, do you have any medicine with you?" ”

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head in a daze.

I sighed, frowned, and said, "Haven't you eaten yet?" ”

She nodded slightly.

I got up and walked to the door, turned around and said, "You're waiting for me here." ”

She hurriedly came over and pulled me by the hand and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm buying you medicine, I'm getting some food by the way, look at your little appearance, you're about to lose weight."

I lowered my head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

She said lightly: "You feel sorry for me?" ”

"What do you say?"

I glanced at her, opened the door, and said, "Lie down on the bed for a while, and I'll be back soon." ”

She looked at me reluctantly, and finally walked to the edge of the bed and sat down slowly.

The streets are unusually quiet, with the crumbs of firecrackers flying in the wind, scattered in all corners of the streets and lanes, and a bright moon hanging in the starry sky, emitting a dense cold light, immersing the entire city in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

There are many pharmacies that are open day and night, I bought a lot of cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, put it in the car, I began to look for a restaurant that is open, which really stumped me, Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is closed, even if there is, it is all family dinner and reunion dinner of relatives and friends, I ran almost the entire city, and finally returned with nothing.

I wanted to buy her two buckets of instant noodles in the supermarket or store, but after looking for a long time, I still didn't see the supermarket in business, I was helpless, a bold idea emerged, bring her home, and the problem of food and clothing was solved, but after my parents saw her, how should I explain it, this is a very serious problem, if the discussion fails, and the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will not only hurt Wang Ling's heart, but even Xue Xinyan, who is recognized by her parents, may also know about it.

Then, a series of chain problems will follow, if the noble lady catches my handle, it is not a simple confession and apology can be erased, she will tear her face, and introduce Xinyan to the famous son with great fanfare, and I am just a puddle of mud on the corner of the street, where I can't get the so-called magnanimous understanding and disregard for past suspicions.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, this thing itself is because of me, if I don't have a correct judgment and choice, what I have lost, not only feelings, but also the trust and career that comes with it, are also a dream of Nanke, pay the water in vain, those who have been by my side to help me, support me, encourage my friends, will be disappointed, sad, it turns out that I Wang Tao is a guy who steps on two boats, does not do his job, and is lazy and greedy.

Du Chenyu will not hesitate to withdraw his capital, my capital chain is broken, there is no cash support that can be circulated, my store will be completely closed in less than a month, and I will be defeated and unable to turn over.

Brother Scumbag and Qin Li, my most trusted friends, they will say that I am a hypocrite who loves vanity, they will stay away from me, sarcastically mock me, and reject me, because what I do also affects their faces.

My parents will be completely disappointed in me, even desperate, I have achieved nothing, my reputation is ruined, I can't stay at home, I have nowhere to go, the sadness of my family and the departure of my friends will definitely make me desperate, I want to cry without tears, where else can I go? Do you want to go to Wang Ling's house to be a door-to-door son-in-law? Or is Tian shamelessly looking for Xinyan to apologize and repent?

I sat in the car, clutching the steering wheel, I never thought about these trivial things, but after I really smoothed it out, I realized that I was only because I had two women in my heart, I would live so inadequately, Xinyan didn't do anything wrong, she was still that gentle and virtuous, dignified and elegant girl, Wang Ling was not wrong, she was just a little obsessed, naïve and a little stupid, I was unmarried, she was unmarried, as she said, liking a person, there is nothing wrong with it, but she chose a straw bag like me, nothing, The dregs of poverty.

I was fighting fiercely, a few confetti flew in the wind, slapped on the car window, the temperature dropped again, the cold wind outside the car was blowing, the blowing cables made a terrible sound, and a thick black cloud floated in the sky, blocking the sky full of stars and cold moonlight.

"It's going to snow."

I whispered softly, I couldn't find anything to eat, and I couldn't take her home, the only one who could help me was Sun Kai, I found his mobile phone number, hesitated for a moment, and dialed.

The prompt sounded for a long time, and he finally answered the call.

"I'm going to be crazy tomorrow, don't you see what time it is?"

He whispered insults, lazy anger in his voice.

I smiled helplessly and asked softly, "Do you have an insulated lunch box at home?" ”

"What? Are you going out to beg for food? ”

Sun Kai asked dissatisfiedly, obviously confused by my sudden words.

I looked out the car window and saw a stray dog lying in front of a barber shop, it seemed to be frozen to death, huddled in a corner of the wall, the cold wind howled by, mixed with snowflakes, tearing its bony body, it lay motionless in front of the door, like a sculpture, watching the last touch of life.

I went upstairs lightly, in front of Sun Kai's house, anxiously waiting, he put the boiled dumplings into the insulated box, put a plastic bag into it, and said with a wicked smile: "Your little lover is here?" ”

I gave her a blank look, turned around and was about to go downstairs, but he said unhurriedly: "Hey, when the interruption continues, you will suffer from it, don't fall too deep, otherwise we will see how you end up in the future." ”

I palpitated, stopped, turned back and said, "Mind your own business." ”

Sun Kai lit a cigarette and said disdainfully: "I don't invest in true feelings, and I won't be like you, until the end of the building is empty, and nothing is found." ”

He turned around, looked at the dark bedroom, quietly closed the door, walked up to me and said: "If you really like her, just break up with Xinyan as soon as possible, fish and bear's paws, you can't have both, if you can't let go of Xinyan, then quickly cut through the mess and break this thought, fortunately Xinyan doesn't know yet, if you are insatiable and don't want to lose, then you should know the final outcome better than me." ”

I didn't think about what he said, it was the damn greed that made me slowly degenerate, low, melancholy, and resentful, I asked for a cigarette, lit it and took two deep breaths, and the whole corridor was filled with the smell of tobacco.

I was silent for a long time and muttered, "There will be a result, but not now." ”

"The result of the fish dying and the net being broken?"

Sun Kai squinted at me, obviously he was very dissatisfied with my answer, I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to deal with it, Sun Kai spit out a cigarette, and said with a serious face: "At present, as far as you and I know, you still have room to turn back, but the paper can't contain the fire, which is right and wrong, you have to take care of it in place, Xinyan will come back after the Spring Festival, on the one hand, you have to take care of the business in the store, on the other hand, you have to cover up your relationship with her, do you think you are a saint?" Yes? How many heads and hands have you grown? ”

He saw me sighing and sitting on the stairs, so he was angry, he kicked me, and said angrily: "What are you sighing, don't wrap yourself like a good old man, you have everything that woman says, she said that after breaking up, she will look for death and life, and hang herself, then you can go with her, what are you muttering, ah?" Your heart is nothing more than an itch to death. ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't marry her."

I stood up with a hula, threw the half of the cigarette butt in my hand to the ground, and looked at Sun Kai angrily.

Sun Kai sneered, and said calmly: "That's good, then hurry up and break up with Xinyan and fly with her." ”

I glared at him fiercely, not wanting to discuss this topic with him, stood up, and walked downstairs directly, Sun Kai stared at my back, and said with a smile: "In the end, it's not a bamboo basket to draw water." ”

When I returned to the hotel, Wang Ling half-covered the door, although I walked for a long time, but the dumplings were still hot, seeing that Wang Ling had fallen asleep, I had to lightly boil the pot of water, take the dumplings out of the thermos box, after the boiling water was warmed, I put the cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs on the table, woke up Wang Ling.

She looked at me sleepily, and her beautiful eyes did not flicker as usual, and after a moment of stupefaction, she said weakly, "You have been gone for a long time." ”

I laughed twice, brought the dumplings to her, and said softly: "Let's eat something first, it's more difficult to make dumplings than to learn from the West." ”

She sat up slowly, picked up chopsticks, took a dumpling and said, "What kind of stuffing is this?" ”

"If you eat it, you'll know."

I helped her put the bangs scattered on her forehead behind her ears and looked at her with tenderness.

She took a small bite, chewed the taste, and devoured it.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you."

I handed her the water, and she said hoarsely, "It's delicious." ”

I laughed dryly twice and said stupidly, "What kind of stuffing, did you eat it?" ”

She shook her head and said as she ate, "I don't know, it's delicious anyway." ”

She ate a lot, and there were still two dumplings left in the lunch box, and she burped and said, "I've got two left, hehe." ”

I raised my hand, flicked it on her forehead, turned back and handed her the cold medicine and said, "Take the medicine, and you'll be well tomorrow." ”

She frowned and grinned, "Hey, I hate taking medicine the most." ”

"Good."

I coaxed and tricked her, but she reluctantly took the medicine, and the strength of the medicine rose quickly, and the sleepiness struck, making her dizzy and fall into my arms, and within a moment, she fell asleep, making rhythmic snoring.

I put my hand on her forehead, took her temperature, it was still very hot, and when I thought of her driving thousands of miles here, I felt a little guilty, Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to be a day to reunite with relatives, but she crossed most of China, just for the worthless thoughts and concerns, seeing her sleeping appearance, I burst into tears, crying like a fool.

Standing in front of the window, I saw the night under the mountains, the cold wind was blowing, the snowflakes were flying, the bright moon should laugh at me, laugh at me now, live up to the spring heart, wander alone and chant alone, recently I am afraid to talk about current events, knotted all over the orchid, the moon is shallow and the light is deep, where to find the clouds in the dream.
