Chapter 2: The Return (2)
As soon as I stepped out of the hatch, the cold air rushed to my face, and with it, there was a sense of being in a different world. I wrapped the scarf tightly, and after making sure that the slightest cold air could not penetrate my neck, I took out the mobile phone in my bag, quickly opened the back cover of the battery, replaced it with a domestic card, and then pressed the power button.
Sure enough, the boot music just ended as a text message prompt sound of "Dididi".
"It's been a hard trip! A white sports car warmly welcomes Lin Xing back to China. ”
Behind the message is a series of flowers, firecrackers, and applause, signed "Su Haoyang".
I only told him about the specific flight, and even my brother, I only gave an approximate date. This flight is a night flight, it was just dawn when it arrived, and the morning of the cold winter month was still unusually cold, but there were already many people at the exit to pick up the plane. I hurried by dragging my suitcase and didn't see a single familiar face. Of course, no one called my name out of the corner.
Lin Xiaoding hadn't woken up from his dream yet, so I had to free up one hand to hold him in my arms. Xiao Ding was very light and lay on my shoulders softly, but I barely closed my eyes all night, and I walked upside down by myself, and now I felt that my steps were even more vain.
Looking out the window at the large floor-to-ceiling windows, I smiled self-deprecatingly. The bare branches of the trees pointed to the sky, and the whole city seemed to me to be a desolation—just as I felt at this time. The people around me are like mandarin ducks, and there is more warmth around everyone, I looked around, and the smile on the corner of my mouth became stronger.
He wasn't there.
Also, how could a person like him care about an old man?
There was a sweet chime on the radio, someone was leaving, someone was coming back. Life is like a bus, someone must get down when someone comes up. Next to me was a girl my age, she had been looking at the door with a happy face since I arrived, and I followed her line of sight, and a boy ran towards her in high spirits, and kindly took the girl's luggage, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the security check.
They must be on a trip, perhaps to the blue sky and white clouds of the Aegean Sea, to the cherry blossoms of Mt. Fuji, or to the eerie and mysterious Grand Canyon...... Wherever you go, because it was two people, the girl waited for her boy.
And I once waited for someone in the same place, and I used to look forward to it happily like that girl.
"Ring, ring, ring, ......" The mobile phone in his arms suddenly rang loudly. I was stunned, and I didn't see who was calling, and I answered it, and it was a familiar voice on the phone: "Lin Xing!" ”
The owner of the voice was obviously slightly gasping, but I still sensitively caught the message, "Haoyang, is that you?" ”
The airport was very noisy, and the noise on the phone was very loud. I searched for a secluded corner, and only then did I hear the voice on the phone for a moment, "Hey? Feed? It's me, can you hear me? ”
"I got off the plane, where are you?"
Su Haoyang on the phone smiled, "I'm behind you, you can see it when you turn around." ”
When I turned around, Su Haoyang was walking towards me. I haven't seen him for four years, and the handsome campus prince is now so steady and elegant, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the heroism between the eyebrows, which has been polished by the years and has more vicissitudes.
I have almost forgotten the last time I saw him, except that he always told me that he was a turn away from me.
But when I was young, I was always stubbornly moving forward, preferring to be a moth to a fire.
"Lin Xing, welcome back." He opened his arms, and I didn't think about it, and there was a sudden sourness in his eyes, and the joy of a long absence and the inexplicable sadness hit him together, "Yes, I'm back." ”
There is a faint smell of tobacco on his body, and his whole body is full of a commercial gold collar. He has now taken over the Su Group and is the youngest president in the city, but I remember when he was in college, his ambition was to be a painter.
It turns out that time can really change everything.
"Why are you just ordering such things? Not planning to stay? That's when he noticed my luggage.
"I'm just coming back to see my brother." I replied, thought for a moment and added, "I'll go back, it's good in Denmark." ”
There was a terrible silence between us, I knew what he wanted to ask, what he wanted to say, and those things from four years ago became a scar in my heart, and I knew that everyone was deliberately avoiding each other, and it was easy not to mention it. It took me four years of youth to choose to escape, and the reason for this is self-evident.
He didn't speak, but squatted down and took Xiao Ding's hand, his eyes were complicated. Xiao Ding was confused by him, and hurriedly retracted his hand and hid in my arms. I didn't feel strange at Su Haoyang's behavior, and quipped with a faint smile: "How is it?" My son is handsome, right? ”
He didn't answer for a long time, and it took him a long time to spit out these words, "It looks like it." ”
When Xiao Ding heard this, his eyes were staring at Su Haoyang like a probe, and he seemed to be particularly interested in what Su Haoyang was going to say next. Three or four-year-old children really don't know anything, but Lin Xiaoding is different, every time someone mentions his father's affairs in front of him in Denmark, he is extremely sensitive.
