On the last day of 2015, as soon as I finished correcting my homework and was about to leave work, I received a WeChat message from Gu Zijin.

"Zhen Zhen, Chen Yao and I are eating hot pot in Haidilao next to the office, come on! Pei Xuan is also there. This was followed by two slightly lewd smiles.

I typed "right away" and sent.

A while ago, I was busy with the school's quality sampling, and as the new head teacher, I was very busy, and I hadn't eaten with Gu Zijin for nearly a month, so I was naturally very happy, but when I thought that Pei Xuan was also there, I wanted to retreat.

Speaking of Pei Xuan, he is Chen Yao's friend. The first time I met Pei Xuan was at a ramen restaurant near the city's first hospital, when Gu Zijin successfully entered Chen Yao's law firm and invited me to the ramen restaurant to celebrate.

Ordering good noodles, Gu Zijin mysteriously said that he would introduce me to a heavyweight handsome guy later, and I realized that today's celebration was a blind date arranged by Gu Zijin in disguise. As soon as the noodles were served, Chen Yao sat beside us with a boy in a white shirt.

"Zhen Zhen, let me introduce you, this is my good buddy, and now I am the deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Hospital of the City." Chen Yao introduced to me.

"Zhen Zhen, Pei Xuan is amazing, he is the youngest deputy chief physician of the First Hospital of the city." Gu Zijin raised the decibels, with a slight tone of excitement and adoration.

The boy on the other side said "no, no" shyly, and smiled at me as a greeting, and his beautiful almond eyes were particularly swaggering.

"Hello, my name is Ye Zhenzhen. I didn't expect Dr. Pei to become the deputy chief physician at such a young age, he is really young and promising! ”

Although there is flattery, I am telling the truth, most of the people who can mix to the level of deputy chief physician are already at the age of entering the Mediterranean-style head shape, and the Dr. Pei in front of him is less than 30 years old, but he has such achievements, which has to be admired.

The boy smiled at me a little embarrassedly, turned his head and told the boss, "Boss, a bowl of ramen, no coriander and green onions." ”

My hand holding the dough trembled, raised my head and asked, "You don't eat coriander and green onions either?" ”

"Yes, I didn't like to eat since I was a child, and you don't eat either?" Pei Xuan looked at me with a smile.

"No, no, I just don't think doctors are picky eaters, hehe." I shook my head and laughed awkwardly.

Who knew that Pei Xuan laughed when he heard my words, his voice was very hearty, his eyes were dark, as if he was talking.

How could I just think that he looked like someone because he didn't eat coriander, and the person who was smiling in front of me at the moment was obviously just a stranger. I immediately stopped thinking and joined the four of them in the chat.

But any blind date or blind date in disguise can't get rid of an established routine, from asking about work, to greeting the eighteenth generation of ancestors, to the concept of love and marriage, and finally ending the next appointment. So the meal ended with us exchanging WeChat messages.

In the following months, Pei Xuan and I, like all blind dates, ate together, watched movies, went shopping, and chatted on WeChat.

For example, when he knew that I had low blood sugar, he went to the supermarket and bought biscuits, bread, candy, and milk, and told me to eat small and frequent meals. As long as he didn't have surgery, he would remind me to eat on time when it was time to eat; My stomach hurt during my menstrual period, so he prescribed painkillers and went straight to my house; Sometimes the school worked overtime, as long as he was not on duty, he would come to help me copy the lesson plan, I watched him who was used to writing doctor's font neatly and neatly, like a primary school student learning to write Chinese characters. Although my feelings for Pei Xuan have not risen to the level of liking, my heart, which has not been nourished by love for a long time, has also begun to yearn for the arrival of nectar.

Just yesterday, Pei Xuan confessed to me downstairs at my house, but at that time, I suddenly had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, so I dropped a sentence of "I'll talk about it next time" and fled. When I walked out of the toilet easily, I realized that I had just run away like this, and Pei Xuan must have mistakenly thought that I had rejected him. You see, sometimes love really needs the right time, the right place.

Thinking that I had arrived at Haidilao, when I walked into the store, a fragrant heat wave surged, and I was so hungry that I almost drooled.

"Vera, here." Not far away, Gu Zijin waved at me, and Pei Xuan smiled at me.

I walked over and wanted to sit next to Gu Zijin, but Pei Xuan stood up and pulled out the chair next to him for me, so I had to sit down. As soon as I saw Pei Xuan, I remembered his confession yesterday, and I was a little embarrassed.

"Zhenzhen, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you. Pei Xuan opened the bag of dishes and chopsticks for me and put it in front of me.

"Fat cow, thank you." I smiled at him.

"Yaoyao, people also want to eat fat cows and shrimp, help me get it."

Gu Zijin hinged Chen Yao's arm coquettishly, Chen Yao said yes dotingly, and pinched Gu Zijin's cheek. I couldn't help but send them a pair of white eyes, signaling them to restrain themselves.

As soon as Chen Yao and Pei Xuan left, Gu Zijin leaned over and winked at me, "Zhen Zhen, I heard that Pei Xuan confessed to you last night?" ”

"You're really well-informed." I picked up a slice of beef and stuffed it into my mouth and replied vaguely.

"Did you say yes?" Gu Zijin couldn't wait to ask.

"No, I ran away." I put another slice of beef in my mouth, and the beef from Haidilao is really tender.

"I said Ye Zhenzhen, you are not angry, Pei Xuan's family background, character, and appearance are the best in our circle of friends, and he is the number one director of the future digestive department," Gu Zijin pinched my arm, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "Ye Zhenzhen, do you know that you missed a stock that will continue to soar in the future!" ”

My hand was pinched by Gu Zijin, and I hurriedly begged for mercy, "Grandma, lightly, I was actually ...... last night" Before I finished speaking, Pei Xuan and Chen Yao came back with side dishes.

I hurriedly swallowed the sinister words that I was about to say into my stomach, and smiled and took a large plate of beef handed over by Pei Xuan.

Gu Zijin let go of my arm, stabbed me with his elbow, and whispered, "I'll interrogate you after eating."

This hot pot was eaten until nearly ten o'clock, because Pei Xuan was going back to the hospital on duty, and the four of us reluctantly walked out of the hot pot restaurant with our stomachs propped up.

A cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver. Pei Xuan took out a red scarf from the bag, wrapped it around my neck, and said to me softly, "Vera, Happy New Year." ”

I looked down at the scarf around my neck, and looked up at Pei Xuan's clear eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a gift for you." Pei Xuan, in fact, I ......"

Pei Xuan reached out and gently rubbed my hair, interrupting me, "It's okay, it's good if you can come and eat together." Also, don't overthink it. ”

Pei Xuan really thought that I had rejected him, and I lowered my head in frustration and played with the corner of my scarf, feeling as uncomfortable as if I had lost a hundred yuan.

Over there, Chen Yao and Gu Zijin's farewell to you and me was over, Chen Yao walked over and patted Pei Xuan on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll drive you back to the hospital." ”

After Chen Yao and Pei Xuan left, Gu Zijin and I planned to walk to the next bus stop to take the last bus home.

"Zhen Zhen, tell me honestly, did you refuse Pei Xuan because you were still waiting for Lu Li?" Gu Zijin asked cautiously.

Gu Zijin hadn't talked about Lu Li in front of me for a long time, because she knew that the word Lu Li was like a bomb that could up at any time. All the pretended strength and hard work to transfer the emotions before will collapse in front of the word Lu Li.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, the sand and dust were raised, and one or two grains of dust fell into my eye sockets, my eyes were suddenly extremely sore, and tears were almost falling, but I didn't want Gu Zijin to mistakenly think that I was because of Lu Li's tears, so I pretended to smile easily, "Yes, I'm waiting for Lu Li, and when he comes back, I'll spit in his face and kick him hard, haha." ”

Gu Zijin sighed deeply, and her tone suddenly became deep, "Zhen Zhen, why did you say that Lu Li didn't say goodbye in the first place?" ”

I turned my head to look at her, and she was looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees. I looked up from her point of view, there was no moon in the sky tonight, and if I carefully identified it, I could see one or two stars twinkling, and it seemed very lonely in the vast night sky.

"Maybe he doesn't like the scene of separation."

The two of us did not continue the conversation, and walked to the bus stop in silence with each other, and the bus back to my house soon arrived. I hugged Gu Zijin, said Happy New Year, and got into the car.

Leaning against the car window, I looked at the brightly lit streets, filled with a strong New Year's atmosphere, and although it was close to midnight, there were still many couples hugging each other to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Maybe the car was too deserted, the driver turned on the radio, and the familiar melody instantly lingered throughout the car, which was Mayday's "Suddenly I Miss You".

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air

I am most afraid of my friend's sudden concern

I'm most afraid of memories suddenly rolling

The cramping does not subside

I'm most afraid to hear from you suddenly

Miss if there would be a sound

I don't want it to be a sad cry

So far

Finally let myself belong to me

Only tears are left, and I can't fool myself

I miss you so much all of a sudden

Where will you be

live a happy or aggrieved life

The host's slightly sad voice swirled leisurely in the empty carriage: "The person you liked in middle school, how is it now?" ”

I leaned my head against the window, closed my eyes, and the past replayed itself like a dream. No, he's still alive, and he still can't see the future. But I still firmly believe that when I like him, he is the best for him. Even after many years in the past, all the stories about him can become the most touching existence in my ordinary life in the future.

A few years ago today, a young man stood beside me, his eyebrows were clear, and he said, "Ye Zhenzhen, let's spend the New Year's Eve together in the future." ”

The tears that didn't come out just now seemed to burst the embankment, drifting in an unknown direction with the wind outside the window.
