Lu Yan turned around and went to the side, only to slide away to answer.

Not far away, there were people coming and going at the entrance of the hospital, the noisy and lively sound overshadowed everything, Xihe couldn't hear Lu Yan's call, she just stared blankly not far away, the sun had ended, and she felt that time passed so quickly.

Lu Yan came back again, looked at Xihe with a meaningful expression, but didn't say anything, and walked forward.

Xihe followed behind, she took many steps behind him, did not deliberately follow, and her unhurried attitude did not widen the distance between the two by much.

When I got out of the gate of the hospital, I saw Lu Yan walking towards the side of the road.

A military jeep, dark green, parked on the side of the road, was parked there, like a cheetah resting restrained.

Xihe turned his head to look at Lu Yan, the man's expression was as usual, he took out the key, opened the car door, and sat in.

Then with indifferent expressionless eyes, Xi He hurriedly looked away, stepped forward and opened the passenger door to get into the car.

After fastening her seat belt, she hesitated, but still asked, "Is this the army's car?" ”

The engine started, and Lu Yan looked normal: "Hmm." ”

Xihe wanted to ask him if he had been in the army all these years? He once said that a man should serve the country if he is enthusiastic, has he traveled to many countries in the past few years?

These questions have been in my heart for a long time...... But in the end, there is still a strangeness in the middle, they have all changed, Xihe is no longer the soft and weak little girl she used to be, and when she throws herself into Lu Yan's arms, she feels that her world is safe!

Neither of them spoke, they hadn't been back for four years, and everything around them couldn't find the slightest sense of familiarity.

Xihe turned his head to Lu Yan and said, "You just put me on the side of the road where shopping is more convenient." ”

"Do you know where this is?" Lu Yan stared ahead, and suddenly asked her.

Xihe looked out the window suspiciously, there was no special view, rows of backward storefronts, and a lipstick was being recommended on the screen of a high-rise building not far away......

She didn't remember anything about this place, and she couldn't help but ask softly, "Where is it?" ”

Lu Yan's lips tightened, and he didn't speak again.

There was silence until the car stopped at the mall stage.

Xihe got out of the car, turned around and politely thanked Lu Yan.

The jeep suddenly increased its fire and sprang out at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the vast sea of cars, Xi He stood in place, letting the air flow and wind blow his hair, and his body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't move for a long time.

。

Zhao Daiyun and the old lady unanimously asked her to go home for dinner, Xihe couldn't get rid of it, so he could only say that he had left something behind, and he would go back after taking it.

In fact, it is just to abide by the sophistication of people, and when you go home for the first time for so many years, you always need to prepare some gifts, even if you face your relatives, you can't go back empty-handed.

The mobile phone rang, Xihe was pushing the shopping cart to pick something, she took out her mobile phone, it was the number of her family.

She didn't make a note, but she recognized it at a glance.

Xihe slid away to answer, and Zhao Daiyun's worried voice sounded inside: "Xihe, have you arrived?" ”

"It's coming."

"Hey, then I'm stir-frying a few more dishes, waiting for you." Zhao Daiyun's tone suddenly became brisk, and you can imagine her joy.

After hanging up the phone, Xihe picked some more and went to check out.

There were a lot of things, she couldn't lift them in her hands, she got out of the supermarket to get a car on the side of the road, and the driver saw that she had bought so many supplements for a girl, and asked in surprise: "Little girl, are you going to visit relatives?" ”

The customs of the Chinese can be guessed a lot from their behavior and words, and Xihe has a smile on his face: "Yes." ”

"Seeing that you are struggling to carry it alone, why don't you let your boyfriend help you a little?"

"Nope." Xi and indiscriminately perfunctory, and then change the subject.

chatted quite happily all the way, and when the taxi entered the community, Xihe saw some familiar shadows from the general scenery around him.

This small area is divided into two places, east and west, in fact, it is also two worlds, the east is a rich area, and there are many villas. To the west is a civilian area, and you have to count the timing of buying a house.

Xi and their family are in the west, because they are in the same community, when Lu Yan and their family moved over, children of the same age played very well together.

At that time, the world was very simple, and there was no concept of respect and inferiority, and later Xihe realized that the real gap was actually like an invisible wall, which could not be crossed!

——

The car drove downstairs, and Xi He saw his father standing on the side of the road waiting from a distance.

Xiao Se's figure was bent over by the burden of the family. However, he is in his forties, with black and white sideburns on both sides, and he looks more than ten years older than his actual age.

Xihe got out of the car, and the driver helped take the gift down.

Father Yu Kongsheng put his hands behind his back and stepped forward, his face was expressionless, and he only said in a hoarse voice: "I'm back." ”

"Hmm." Xihe nodded.

There is no crying of joy that I haven't seen for many years, as if she is just a girl who has returned to her parents' house...... But it doesn't make much difference.

Father didn't say much, helped her carry the things she bought, and when he turned around and entered the corridor, he said, "Don't spend money indiscriminately in the future." ”

Somehow, Xihe suddenly felt that her eyes were a little sour, and she silently followed behind her father, looking at his back, and her heart was mixed for a while.

The elevator went all the way up, and when I arrived at the door of the house, my father opened the door.

As soon as I entered the house, the TV in the living room was very loud and noisy.

The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, and the smell of chili peppers choking on the tip of my nose could be heard.

"You're going to be tired, go back to your room to rest, I'll go see if your mother is okay." After her father had finished speaking to her, he went to the kitchen.

Xihe stood in place, looking at the house that has not changed much from childhood to adulthood, and there are some changes, such as the window sill in the living room, where there used to be a cabinet for his younger brother to learn and read. Now it's empty, except for the sofa.

Her younger brother Yu Ziqiang reclined on it, squinting and playing with his mobile phone, holding a cigarette between his fingertips and occasionally taking a puff.

Seeing her, he said "Yo he" in a weird way: "Look who is back......"

"Yu Ziqiang, come in and pick vegetables."

Even though the sound of the TV overshadowed everything, when Yu Ziqiang's words fell, his father's implied anger was still heard in the kitchen.

Yu Ziqiang rolled his eyes, got up fearlessly, and pulled his slippers into the kitchen.

Xihe's brows furrowed slightly, she glanced in the direction of the kitchen with calm eyes, and raised her feet to go to her former room.

To her surprise, the room remained almost the same as when she had left, nothing had changed, and the pot of orchids on the windowsill, with its lush foliage, was apparently tended to be a constant task.

There were footsteps behind him, Zhao Daiyun wiped his hands with an apron, and said with a smile: "This pot of orchids bloomed last year, it is white, your grandmother likes it very much, and she comes to take care of it every day." ”

Xihe withdrew her gaze, and she didn't speak.
