In winter, the neon of the ice city is covered in silver, and it is extremely confusing.

Yu Qicheng drove out of Yu's house in a jeep, and his ears were still echoing when he was leaving, the younger brother's inquiry: "Big brother, where are you going this big night?"

Where to go?

There aren't many places you want to go, just one.

When the red light stopped, Yu Qicheng took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth, the spicy breath of tobacco went straight to his heart, but he still couldn't suppress the suffocation in his chest, and he snuffed it out again, and popped out of the car window with an expressionless face.

When he turned into a certain street, a red trot suddenly overspeeded forward and slammed the steering wheel to the right, forcing him to step on the brakes.

Yu Qicheng frowned and looked at the tall woman who walked over from the car.

Tang Mengxin ran to his car and shouted, "Brother-in-law!"

"What are you doing with me?" Yu Qicheng asked in a deep voice as he opened the car door.

"I didn't answer your call, and I couldn't see you, so I had to try my luck at Yu Zhai!" Tang Mengxin complained aggrievedly, knowing that he had already discovered himself, but he was always ignored.

Looking at his tall figure standing in front of the car door, his sturdy body, exuding a charming manhood from head to toe, is incomparable to even those handsome foreign guys in this city.

Such a charming man should belong to her!

"I don't think I have time for you. Yu Qicheng's tone did not fluctuate at all.

"Brother-in-law, are you blaming me?" Tang Mengxin looked at him and asked, seeing that his eyes were warm, he put his hands on his shoulders and said, "I warned you a long time ago, but you didn't listen! If you had considered my suggestion earlier, why did you make such a fuss now, you two are destined not to be together, and what good is she about? Isn't she just a little girl, arrogant and domineering when she is still young, she is not worthy of you at all!"

"Then who is worthy?" Yu Qicheng squinted and asked.

Tang Mengxin seemed to be waiting for his words, and when she heard this, she immediately lowered her arm, and looked at him with much more eagerness.

"Brother-in-law, are you pretending not to understand or really not understanding? Isn't my heart for you obvious in the past six years? I really like you, and I have been waiting for you, as long as you are willing, I can give you everything I ...... for you."

Before Tang Mengxin's long confession was finished, she suddenly stopped, because the tall body that suddenly approached in front of her.

Her breathing instantly became a little chaotic, the relationship between her height, her sight was just his protruding Adam's apple, and down was his strong chest, even if she was wearing a thick coat, she seemed to be able to feel the muscle lines inside, as well as the hard facial features that were close at hand.

I'm afraid that in the past six years, Tang Mengxin has not had such close contact with him, as long as he inhales a little, he can smell the exclusive male breath on his body, and his face can't help but gradually turn red, and he is connected to the roots of his ears.

Her heart was overjoyed, her heart was beating faster, and she tried to make herself more perfect, and she looked up and discharged at him.

"Brother-in-law......"

Tang Mengxin made the most shyness and shouted softly.

But when he touched his cold eyes, he suddenly felt a thrill, and heard his equally cold voice say word by word: "Even if all the women in the world are dead, I won't look at you more." ”

This is probably the most heartless of words.

originally thought that after separating the two of them for a long time, one day he would be moved by himself, but he heard him say that even if all the women in the world died, he wouldn't even look at her more......

The blood on Tang Mengxin's face faded instantly, and she looked at the disgusted retreat between his eyebrows, as if she had seen on the street.

Yu Qicheng was the same as what he said, after turning around, he didn't look at her again, and directly turned the steering wheel to reverse, and the tires of the car scraped on the ground and made a lot of noise, and then galloped away and drove in the direction of an apartment building.

At the end of the year, the magazine was busy, but the spirit of the new year was getting stronger.

Connected with patches of neon, Xu Jinghao drove back to the apartment building where she lived, and went upstairs to get home, her sister Xu Jingyi had already taken a vacation and was nesting in her room, but now she didn't continue to play games every day, but hugged her mobile phone and made phone porridge.

Xu Jinghao stood in front of the door, looked at her sister with a happy smile on her face for a few seconds, and closed the door for her.

She glanced at the mirror next to her, raised her hand and pulled the corners of her mouth up.

After being satisfied, she rubbed it back and forth with her palms, poured a glass of water in the kitchen, and lay on the sofa to watch TV.

When she saw the breakup scene of the male and female protagonists without tears, she couldn't help but wet her eyes.

I just wanted to see you......

That low, deep male voice rang in my ears.

What appeared in front of Xu Jinghao's eyes was that he didn't have a trace of light in the hospital corridor, and he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to see her. Just look at her......

I don't know when the TV series ended, she sorted out her emotions, and her mobile phone rang when she took the remote control to turn the table.

Xu Jinghao stretched out her arm, held the phone in front of her eyes, and when she saw the number displayed on it, she sat up.

His fingers hung above the green circle, hesitating to press it down.

She stared at the three words "Yu Qicheng" tightly, her fingers clenched on the edge of the phone, until the phone ringtone stopped, she didn't let out the breath in her chest, and the ringtone rang again.

Very persistent, one by one.

When the call came for the third time, Xu Jinghao opened her mouth to inhale the air, and then picked it up and put it to her ear.

"Hey, little uncle?"

Xu Jinghao deliberately made her voice sound brisk.

As if retreating to the position where the two of them should have been, Yu Qicheng could hear it, and did not ask her why she was delayed, but said in a deep voice, "I'm downstairs." ”

Xu Jing took a good breath, got up from the sofa and walked to the window.

Sure enough, there was a jeep with a military license plate parked under the street lamp, and Yu Qicheng's tall figure was standing there, holding a mobile phone and her gaze from afar, with a burning cigarette between his fingers.

There was silence for a while, and no one made a sound.

"Do you want me to go down?" Xu Jing asked in a low voice.

"Can you come down?" Yu Qicheng asked uncertainly.

Xu Jinghao pursed the corners of his mouth, and tried to make an arc at him through the glass, "You wait for me a little, I'll be right away." ”

After hanging up the phone, she clutched her phone and turned back to the bedroom, unzipped her backpack, took out a bunch of keys from it, stared at one of them for a long time, and then took it off.

When he came out of the building, Yu Qicheng had just finished smoking a cigarette and was throwing it on the ground and trampling it with his military boots.

Seeing her coming over, he frowned, "Why don't you wear more." ”

"It's quite thick!" Xu Jinghao shook the hem of his clothes and showed it to him, "Feather, and there are two plush pants underneath!"

"Hmm. Yu Qicheng responded, and his eyes were still not at ease and he patrolled up and down.

"Little uncle, do you have something to do with me?" Xu Jinghao took the initiative to ask.

Yu Qicheng looked at her apricot eyes, paused and said, "Tomorrow I will get up early and return to the army." ”

"So fast?" Xu Jing asked in surprise, "Before...... Didn't you say you'd wait until the end of the year to go back?"

"There is a temporary mission, I have to camp in the wild for a while, and I don't know when it will end. Yu Qicheng explained slowly in a deep voice.

"Oh. Xu Jinghao nodded.

still remembers the first time he returned to the army, she hugged him aggrievedly, and she was reluctant to let go. The second time she was much better, she could still jokingly say that she wouldn't run away with others, what did he say at the time......?

Those images are still clear in my mind, as if they all happened yesterday.

Now the mood is very different, Xu Jinghao lowered his eyes.

After a while, she raised her head and told him with a smile, "Little uncle, then you pay attention to safety, don't work too hard!"

"Hmm. Yu Qicheng muttered.

The dim street lamps spread over the two men, and their shadows stretched on the ground, and the occasional resident walked by.

"I have something for you!" Xu Jinghao spoke again.

He took out the hand in the pocket of his down jacket, and there was an extra key in his palm, "I have been forgetting to give it before, and I was thinking about whether to send a courier, but that seems to be too deliberate! This key should be returned to you, and there is ......"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and touched her right hand.

A silver ring is worn on the ring finger, with a very simple pattern.

Xu Jinghao pinched the ring and wanted to pull it down, but I don't know if it was worn for too long, and it was very difficult to reach the position of the bone joint, she was a little anxious, and she barely pulled it down with brute force.

There were still remnants of the ring marks on it, and they were dazzling in the light.

Xu Jinghao put the silver ring and the key together, spread out his palm and handed it over, "Give!"

She tried hard to look into his eyes in the streetlight, holding back the heavy breathing in her chest, and the other hand behind her back trembled slightly when she made a sound.

"Oh yes!" Xu Jinghao wanted to be a little more carefree, and deliberately blinked and said, "Do you need to return the A1 you bought for me?"

Yu Qicheng looked at her silently.

Xu Jinghao gradually felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

Yu Qicheng reached out to her, picked up all the keys and silver rings in her palm, and grabbed them again the moment she withdrew her hand.

“...... Little uncle?"

The body temperature on his hand came, and Xu Jing was stunned.

Yu Qicheng didn't look at her, lowered his eyebrows and stared at her hand, his fingertips covered with gun calluses stroked her reddened ring finger, and stroked it very gently and patiently, and then he put the silver ring on it again.

His eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll take the key, you can keep this." It has found its owner. ”

"......" Xu Jinghao felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Yu Qicheng slowly withdrew his hand, and there was a greedy nostalgia in his movements.

"It's cold outside, and I'm watching you go in. ”

"Oh good!" Xu Jing nodded meekly.

Under the gaze of his eyes, she turned around and walked back, straight into the corridor, and she had the courage to turn around and look at him secretly.

It was still in that position just now, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and the rising white smoke blurred his hard facial features, which could not be seen really, but in those deep eyes, it was as lonely as a falling meteor.

After smoking a cigarette, he turned around silently.

Xu Jing looked at his tall back, and the loneliness made people want to hug.

ran out of the building without stopping, because the emotions overflowing in his heart couldn't control his steps, and even hit his back, his nose hurt, but he didn't have time to rub it, and his hands tightly wrapped around his strong waist.

Yu Qicheng paused in his footsteps and stretched out his hand to cover hers.

Xu Jinghao pressed her face against his shoulder, and her eyes were full of mist.

Thinking so in her heart, she did this, but she could only do this, under the quiet street lamp, the two enjoyed each other's last warmth.

Chinese New Year's Eve has passed in the blink of an eye, but the smell of the year has not yet dissipated.

At ** o'clock in the morning, you can always hear the sound of firecrackers, the city is lively, and you will cordially shout "Happy New Year" when you meet acquaintances.

It's just that for Xu Jinghao, these bustles are someone else's.

It seems that it was probably at this time that she once trekked to Yunnan, but when she came back, she had to cut off all her feelings for him. It seems that after turning around, she has returned to the original point, and she still has to give up.

It's just that she is grateful that at least there are memories of being together that can be taken out from time to time to remember.

On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, Xu Jinghao followed Mr. Lin to the cemetery in the suburbs by car.

There is a traditional custom in the north that on this day, a lamp is given to the deceased in the family, and the lamp is used to accompany the deceased to express mourning.

When the car reached the entrance, it couldn't drive in, it was full of people who came to deliver lights, there were rows of vendors with all kinds of small electric lights and orange blossoms, Xu Jinghao and the driver helped the old man down and walked inside.

The process and the link are very simple, just turn on the light and place it next to the tombstone.

The weather in the north was still very cold after the New Year, and I couldn't stay outdoors for too long, so I didn't stay long before I was ready to leave.

As she walked down the path, Xu Jinghao looked somewhere.

There is the tombstone of my sister-in-law Lin Jing, but today only their grandfather and grandson came to simply sweep the grave of their biological father Lin Yan, but their eyes couldn't help but pause, and they were a little in a trance.

It was in that position that they nominally met for the first time.

She still remembered the first time she stumbled and called him: Little uncle......

The old man noticed her daze and asked out with concern, "Jinghao, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing ......" Xu Jing said well, pulling back her head in thought.

The old man nodded, and was supported by her and the driver to the left and right to walk down, looking at his granddaughter in the process, seeing that she always lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes blocked the look inside.

"It's quiet. The old man asked again and again, "Are you still blaming grandpa?"

Xu Jinghao didn't make a sound, but shook her head very lightly.

Seeing this, the old man felt a little blocked in his heart, even if she didn't say it directly, she could feel that it was against her will.

It's going to be weird!

He was sent to the hospital with a sudden myocardial infarction a few years ago, and he wore a ventilator and threatened her not to let himself die.

The son-in-law can't do it, so he can only start from her. Later, when he woke up the next day and went to the general ward, his granddaughter stood by the bed with red and swollen eyes, and only said one word, telling him that the two had been separated, so that he could rest assured.

By the time the car drove back to the city, it was already getting dark.

After getting down from the Second Ring Bridge, Xu Jinghao pointed to the intersection in front, "Grandpa, I'll just get off in front!"

"When I came out, I ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, why don't you go back and eat with grandpa?" the old man said with a frown when he heard this.

"No, I've lost weight recently, and I'm getting fat because of the big oil and water for the New Year!" Xu Jinghao shook his head and explained, and then pulled away a smile, "Grandpa, it's just ahead, I just want to buy something on the way!"

"Okay, you stay safe!" the old man nodded.

The driver in front was instructed to stop smoothly when he reached the intersection in front.

Xu Jinghao opened the car door, said "Grandpa, I'll go first" and got out of the car with a backpack.

There was some traffic jam in front, and the car entered the main road a little slowly, and the old man looked at the slender back of the opposite mall through the window glass, where to eat fat, it seemed to be thinner than before.

Although this granddaughter didn't grow up beside him, she always paid attention to it, and she was also a little girl from such a small girl, and she saw that she was slim today, but now she is only in her twenties, but she seems to have been drained of most of her vitality.

The lines in the corners of the old man's eyes moved slightly, and he asked quietly, "Xiao Zhao, do you think I did something wrong?"

The driver in front is about fifty years old, has worked for the Lin family for many years, and can be regarded as a confidant of the old man, and he also knows many things about the Lin family.

"Don't worry, old man, Miss Jinghao will understand you in the future! Not to mention that you just made the right choice. The driver looked up at the rear mirror and comforted him from his point of view.

"The right choice?"

The old man repeated the rhetorical question after hearing this.

Then he let out a long sigh and whispered to himself, "What is the right choice......

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, everything gradually returned to normal.

People in the city still continue to run for life, and every day the sun rises and sets, and time passes through their fingers.

It's evening again, and there are white-collar workers who have worked all day in the office building coming out, Xu Jinghao is carrying a bag inside, and there are accompanying colleagues next to her, who are asking her, "Jinghao, aren't you okay at night, why do you have to go home, go to dinner and sing with us!"

"No, I still want to go home and watch TV. Xu Jing waved his hand.

She got up late this morning, she didn't drive, she came by taxi, so she had to stop the car on the side of the road at this time, but during the rush hour, it was more difficult to find an empty car.

"What's so good about TV, and there are no good TV series recently, just come with us!" The colleague still persuaded him, "You run home after work every day, you have no entertainment life at all, and you are about to become an otaku!" I happen to have a few small objects at night, and I will introduce you to you, let me tell you, if you want to forget your last relationship, the best way is to invest in a new relationship......

"Horn! Horn—"

A car horn suddenly sounded, interrupting the co-worker's chatter.

The horn sounded very quickly, it was driving from a distance, all the way straight to her, Xu Jing couldn't help but look over, and saw a familiar jeep driving at a very fast speed.

Looking at the military badge hanging in front of her, she was stunned, and her breathing slowed down very slowly.

It's just that I also wondered in my heart, he came back so soon?

The brakes of the car were also very fast, making a sharp and piercing sound, and in her wooden sight, the driver's door opened, and it was not the tall figure that jumped down, but the relatively slender one.

Wearing a camouflage training uniform, a pair of military boots on his feet, and oil paint on his face, he seemed to have just arrived from some battle, and his steps were fast and messy.

Xu Jinghao said in surprise when the other party strode in front of her, "Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Hui didn't call her "Xiao Jing is good" with a smile as usual, but the expression on his face was so serious that it was solemn.

...
