(63) New Year
Xiang Mingle loves "Suzhou Creek" in Xue Kaiqi's album "Read me" released in 2009, but the sentence "Love is just love, great love is only love in the end", and now, when she saw clearly the person who came out of the car and confirmed her loss, she finally understood the sentence, "The boat on the river can't never leave".
Did the boat she was waiting for finally leave?
"Doctor Zhong, why are you here?" she clutched her phone tightly, a little away from Zhong Mu, "Aren't you supposed to be with your family now?"
"I just got off work and saw you when I drove out. Zhong Mu breathed quietly in a low voice, maybe it was too lively around him to make his voice so weak, "You wait for me." ”
Zhong Mu turned around and returned to the car, opened the door and took out a delicate gift box from inside, and then slowly walked over and handed the box to Xiang Mingle, still expressionless, "This is for you." ”
If you were any person, you would feel like you were throwing garbage with this tone and expression, so where could you tell that you were giving a gift?
Fortunately, Xiang Mingle knows Zhong Mu well enough, a well-known black-faced god.
Somewhat flattered, she took it with both hands, and carefully opened the box, which contained a beautiful high-end silk scarf, and the water-blue bottom was crawling with artificial embroidery, and she could see it clearly by the light alone.
Xiang Mingle smiled faintly, no different from before seeing the gift, there seemed to be no additional surprise, she stuffed the box back into Zhong Mu's hand, and politely refused, "Doctor Zhong, I can't accept such a valuable thing, I'm sorry my friend is still waiting for me, I'll go first." ”
Zhong Mu was suddenly rejected by her, and he couldn't accept it for a while, any intern he brought with him didn't want to see his face, let alone be a gift from him personally, and any one of them would not refuse so simply.
"Xiang Mingle, why do you always pretend to be so tall?" Zhong Mu casually threw the gift box into the trash can on the side, it seemed that she really didn't misunderstand, he gave people gifts, and throwing garbage is indeed the same.
Xiang Mingle just turned her back, she paused, and chuckled helplessly, "Doctor Zhong, if you don't go home if you have nothing to do, just wait to humiliate me, it really bothers you, then I won't bother." ”
It's someone else's New Year, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with her, and these criticisms and groundless accusations from others are just the usual thing day after day, year after year.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"
Wen Xian nervously held Shen Bijun's hand, no matter how cold it was at this moment, they had to snuggle up to each other to keep each other warm, Shen Bijun felt the warmth coming from his palm, like a trickle into her heart.
"Three...... Two...... One!"
"Happy New Year. Wen Xian turned sideways at the moment when the ceremonial flowers for the old and welcoming the new exploded into the sky, rubbed his hands hard, and then immediately held Shen Bijun's cold red face, lowered his head and gently kissed her soft lips.
When cold meets cold, it will be a warm collision, Shen Bijun slowly stretched out his hand and got into his thick coat to wrap around his waist, and it was really warm all of a sudden.
People are really so greedy, and those who can't get the sweetness will no longer be able to taste the bitterness.
Meng Qilan's feet were full of empty wine bottles, he pretended to have dinner happily and never went downstairs, leaving Meng Lianxi alone to deal with those elders below, fortunately, she had done these things handily enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been busy sneaking up to see Meng Qilan's decadent ghost.
"Hey, what are you doing, so depressed for the New Year. Meng Lianxi was wrapped in a plush shawl, and the step that she could take out of the warm room still couldn't help but shiver, she sat on the chair next to Meng Qilan, and elegantly held a small half glass of red wine and shook it, "Can you still drink it?"
Meng Qilan lowered his head and grabbed half a bottle of wine from the ground, and touched a glass with Meng Lianxi in a chic manner, and the wine dangling in his hand almost spilled her.
"Young master, what's wrong with you?" Meng Lianxi had never seen him look so decadent, in her memory, this free and easy brother just changed from a pleasing personality to an emotional person, but he would never be like this, hiding things and drinking alone.
"Lian Xi, have you really loved someone?" Meng Qilan looked at his sister's eyes, with crystal dew.
It turned out to be a sentimental injury, Meng Lianxi sighed, tightened his shawl, and quietly looked at the unfamiliar fireworks in the distance with one hand on his cheek.
"Brother, you forgot, I have no heart. She smiled wryly and drank the wine in her glass, she had lived in the strong expectations of others since she was a child, and she probably forgot what other joys and sorrows she had.
Meng Qilan turned his head to look at his sister, his eyes were full of guilt and there was nowhere to hide, everything that was pressing on his sister now should have been carried by him, he thought how easy it was for him to fight against this family many years ago, and it was not his dearest sister who suffered from it, he had to learn mathematics that he didn't like at a young age, give up the ballet he liked, and enter the financial circle he didn't like as soon as he graduated from college, and give up studying abroad......
"You're not heartless, you can't fool me. Meng Qilan poured wine on her empty wine glass again, touched her unilaterally, and drank the little left in her bottle in one gulp, "If you also meet such a person, don't just let him go, don't leave unwillingness and reluctance in love, because my sister is only happy." ”
"Brother...... Why are you so hypocritical. "Growing up together since childhood, no matter how much blood is thicker than water, what can convey more than a glance from the other party? Meng Lianxi suddenly got up and gave Meng Qilan a tight bear hug, she just wanted to avoid the gaze and shed tears, which was the thing she hated the most.
All the loneliest individuals are good at living in groups.
"Shen Bijun, Happy New Year......"
At two o'clock in the morning, Shen Bijun was woken up by the vibration of the mobile phone from her sleep, except for the phrase "Happy New Year" on the other end of the phone, the other words were drowned out after a group of noisy cheers, she fed the mobile phone several times in a row and no one responded, and she couldn't help but wonder a little.
"What's the matter," Wen Xian was also woken up by this movement, he rubbed his eyes and reached out to skillfully turn on the bedside light, "What's the matter?"
"I was called from an unknown number, and he called my name, but he only said Happy New Year and stopped talking. Shen Bijun handed the phone to Wen Xian, "Listen." ”
Wen Xian took the phone, there was really only a commotion on the other end, no one spoke very seriously, he listened carefully, and only then could he tell that the closest squirting sound to the mobile phone was a person's sobbing......
"It's him. As soon as he heard it, he was sure, and gently kissed Shen Bijun on the forehead, and handed the phone back to her.
"He?" Shen Bijun was stunned, and the moment he took the phone, he rolled over and over in his mind so many people, and he didn't always think about it.
"Xu Sinan. ”
Wen Xian said this name, she was shocked to put the phone to her ear and wanted to listen carefully, she never dreamed that Xu Sinan would call back at this time, speaking of which, there was no contact for just half a year, but it was like everything was gone, and it began to become strange and needed to be carefully asked from the beginning.
"Xu Sinan, you ...... How are you?" she didn't need to glance at Wen Xian, because he could understand her.
"Doodoo ......"
She didn't wait for a response from the person on the other end of the line before she was blocked by the cold and mechanical backstage voice......
Shen Bijun hung up the phone, put it back on the bedside, and when he looked at Wen Xian with pitiful eyes, he also looked at her even more gently, "Don't think about it, go to sleep." ”
She smiled and slipped into his arms, enveloped in the gentle currents of air, the most beautiful harbor she had anchored.
On the first day of the New Year, everyone has to live in a proper manner, Shen Bijun wears a new dress and leads the half-asleep Wen Xian to walk the streets and alleys to pay New Year's greetings, Ms. Cheng can not stay at home all day in the New Year, what she loves most is to be lively, but unfortunately I don't know if she has a good time.
"Miss Shen, such a coincidence. Xiang Mingle was holding a few large bags of discounted goods that he had just bought from the supermarket, and who knew that he would meet the couple as soon as he went out.
"Mingle, why are you here alone?" Shen Bijun stepped forward in surprise to talk to her.
Wen Xian naturally took the things in Xiang Mingle's hand, "I'll come." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Wen. This is the first time she has dealt with Wen Xian, she has seen him on the Internet and in newspapers and magazines before, so I look at it this way, I am really handsome in photos, "I'm really sorry to trouble you." ”
"What are you talking about, we have just finished the New Year, and we really don't know what activities to do. Shen Bijun smiled and waved his hand, not taking the help to heart, "By the way, are you still satisfied with the house? I didn't have time to ask you last time I met in a hurry at the welfare home." ”
"The house is really nice. Xiang Mingle only had an unprecedented relaxation when chatting with Shen Bijun, Shen Bijun was just a few sides to her, but she was like a very kind sister, or a friend who had lived for many years.
She was glad that they were the first acquaintances she saw in the new year. If you want to say it to outsiders, it is this very good, talented and beautiful couple.
"By the way, have you seen Meng Qilan?" Shen Bijun's sudden sentence had no intention of hurting her.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we haven't been in touch for a long time. Xiang Mingle suddenly looked down at the lines of the floor, and his mood was shocked by a subtle change in an instant.
Wen Xian gently stabbed Shen Bijun's back with his elbow, he was always like this, he could see everything a little more clearly than others.
"Oh...... That's nothing. Shen Bijun reacted at this time, didn't Meng Qilan always do good things without leaving a name, no wonder the little girl thought he was a heartless man, "He, doctor...... All busy. ”
He's busy, he just likes to hide.
"Then is your internship okay?" she quickly took advantage of Xiang Mingle's breathing time to change the subject.
Xiang Mingle also went down the stairs and nodded calmly, "Very good." ”
She has never been good at complaining to anyone, complaining about the black-faced god Zhong Mu who makes things difficult for her all day long, complaining about Meng Qilan who doesn't appear all day long, and the family that is difficult to help.
"But do you have any plans for Miss Shen's work after the Chinese New Year?" Xiang Mingle knew that Shen Bijun was working in the Xingchen Welfare Institute before, but now that the welfare home is closed, her unemployment should be a certainty.
"My job ......" Shen Bijun was stupid, she had already forgotten all about her work, "I ...... I'm unemployed again?"
She looked back at Wen Xian with a helpless expression, and the whole person let out a low roar in frustration, "Why did I know such bad news on the first day of the new year......
