Chapter 25: Memories

Tong En and Ji Siming couldn't help but laugh again because of Tong En's words.

Tong En felt that today's incident was too ridiculous, saying bad things about people behind his back, and making people bump into him on the spot, which made him feel awkward all the time. I have no choice but to say a word, what I said is so unreliable, it's ridiculous.

Ji Siming amused Tong En, he didn't expect Tong En, who spoke properly and thought smartly at work, to be so innocent in life. It was true that he didn't hear what the two little women were saying, but from the expressions of the two and Tong En's restrained performance, he had already guessed that what they said must be related to him, and then he didn't need to guess that it must be related to He Xiao's abnormal performance that night. He pretended not to see it, and he had no intention of explaining more on the matter. Who would have thought that Tong En was such a simple and real person, and he couldn't let go of this matter for the rest of the time, so that in the end he said such a sentence that even she thought was ridiculous.

After a burst of laughter, the atmosphere in the car immediately became lighter.

Tong En finally stopped laughing, turned his head and asked Ji Siming: "Seriously, Mr. Ji, why do you have time to hang out with us today?" ”

Ji Siming adjusted the speed of the car that slowed down because of the laughter just now, and replied: "Actually, I went to the mall to buy something today, and when I walked to the third floor and turned the corner, I saw you at a glance. To be honest, I've never seen you two go shopping like this, good fellow, wandering around aimlessly, and I'm dizzy. ”

Tong En couldn't help laughing again, she smiled and said: "Who asked you to make a wish without figuring out the situation, one-stop service, there is really yours, we were worried about not carrying a bag at the time." ”

Ji Siming also smiled and said: "That's not right, I'm willing to be your follower, but I'm not suitable for your way of shopping." ”

"We were originally wandering around, without a clear purpose at all, and when we saw the right price and liked it, we bought it, unlike you rich people, who went to the * store to get what they needed, and didn't even ask the price. We're salarymen, so we can't be chic even if we want to. ”

When Ji Siming heard Tong En say this, he smiled and didn't say anything more.

The car quickly turned into the street where Tong En lived, because this area is a business district, there are relatively few residences, and the environment is quite quiet, especially at night, the pedestrians on the street are much sparse compared to other streets in the city.

Ji Siming drove the car to a stop next to an artificial green space with green trees. Located in the middle of several commercial buildings, it is similar to a street garden, and although it is not large, it has small fountains, boulevards, green spaces and flower beds, as well as some fitness equipment that can be found everywhere in the community.

Ji Siming turned his head and asked Tong En: "Do you want to go down for a walk?" Your area is a paradise in the city. ”

Tong En looked at the quiet environment outside, and didn't answer immediately, she always felt that Ji Siming's actions today had some purpose, and she didn't like to be led away in a daze. Especially this Ji Siming, from the first time he saw him, Tong En had a strange feeling, and always felt that this person seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking.

Seeing that Tong En hesitated and didn't say anything, Ji Siming smiled and said, "It seems that you are wary of me, is it because of He Xiao's performance that day that you don't want to wade into this troubled water again?" ”

Tong En smiled and said, "Mr. Ji is too worried. The main thing is that I have walked too much today, I am a little tired, and I want to go back early to rest. ”

Ji Siming shook his head and said, "Xu Hui wants to say that I'm tired, I believe it, you, I don't see any signs of fatigue." You can see how nice the environment is, and walking around this place after dinner is good for your physical and mental health. ”

Ji Siming said this so that Tong En could no longer refuse, because the relationship between the two people was not familiar or not, and it could not be too casual or too blunt. Tong En knew that Ji Siming must have something to say to her, but she really couldn't guess whether this was public or private.

She nodded at Ji Siming and said, "That's what Mr. Ji said, then let's go down and take a walk, this meal tonight is really a bit too much, and walking is good for digestion." ”

With that, she took the initiative to open the car door and get out of the car.

It's scabies that always have pus, and it's not a way to avoid it.

Ji Siming pushed the car door and got out of the car, standing next to the car and looking at Tong En under the moonlight.

Tong En wore a pair of casual sandals, denim shorts, a simple white T-shirt on the upper body, and long black hair with a ribbon casually tied behind his head, standing calmly by the boulevard on a summer night, looking like a little girl next door.

Ji Siming felt warm in his heart, since the chance encounter in the Starry Sky Bar, every time he saw Tong En again, he always had a kind feeling in his heart, as if something cold in his heart was gradually warming.

He closed the car door and walked to Tong En's side, and the two of them walked slowly along the refreshing boulevard.

Ji Siming looked sideways at Tong En, who was not tired, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Tong En, looking at your weak appearance, I didn't expect your physical strength to be really strong." Look at Xu Hui, you are tired into a puddle of mud, and you still look like you have nothing to do. ”

Tong En turned his head and smiled at him, reaching out to stroke the green bushes on the side of the road.

"What is it to walk this little way, when I was working in the United States, I looked at eight tables by myself, turned over the table once in half an hour on average, and worked for three hours in one breath, almost non-stop, and this was only one of the jobs, I had to work at least two jobs a day during the holidays, and my physical strength was trained. Xu Hui is a proud baby at home, and it is easy to go to college in China, there is no pressure in life, and of course her physical strength cannot be compared with me. ”

Ji Siming didn't speak, and saw two swing-style rocking chairs on the side of the road, one on the left and one on the right, hanging side by side, he walked over and patted the back of the chair and said to Tong En, "Sit down for a while." ”

"Okay."

Tong En walked over with interest, sitting on the chair on the right and shaking it gently.

"It's so comfortable, I live nearby, and I didn't know there was such a thing."

Ji Siming smiled and watched her close her eyes in enjoyment, and she also sat down in another chair and shook it gently. He looked at the flickering scenery in front of him, and said as if recalling: "There was a swing where I used to live, it was the kind of old-fashioned iron frame, very high, tied to a thick wooden board with a thick rope, I had to sit on it for a while every day after night work, and in the middle of the night, there was no one, sitting on the swing, I could only hear the sound of the wind blowing in my ears, which was very comfortable." ”

Tong En listened quietly, feeling a softness in his heart.

Ji Siming didn't look at her either, as if he was talking to himself.

"When I was in high school, I earned my own money to support myself, we were all large state-owned factories, and I rarely recruited temporary workers, so I went to a few private individual factories to work night shifts to earn money, and the night shift paid was high, and it did not affect the daytime school, and I took over the shift from seven o'clock to twelve o'clock at night, five hours. I was so young at that time, five hours of sleep a day was enough. ”

Tong En couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to do your homework?" ”

"Between classes, I can write for an hour and a half at noon. My master is a retired worker, I can't understand what I am talking about, I am scared enough, I am scared enough, and I say: 'Don't let this child go to the night shift, I can't stand it, I'm so sleepy that I'm sick, I keep talking in my dreams, it's weird and scary, and it will be troublesome to go back and have some accidents.'" ’”

The two of them laughed together.

"Then the third year of high school is so intense, is there enough time?" Tong En asked worriedly.

"Our boss is a good person, when I was preparing for the college entrance examination in the third year of high school, he only let me work for two hours, and gave me a full salary, saying that I would pay him back when I was out, and I would never forget him for the rest of my life."

Tong En didn't speak, he looked at Ji Siming sideways, the moonlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkled on his head and face, mottled, that face shook in front of her eyes, her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be cut straight, she could only see the stubborn nose and the cold and resolute jaw.

Ji Siming felt Tong En's gaze, turned his face to look at her, smiled faintly, Tong En also smiled slightly, the two shook the rocking chair quietly, and no one spoke again.

There was silence all around, only a few figures swaying in the distance, and the wind of the summer night slowly blew across the face. Ji Siming suddenly returned to his youth, the silent late night, the gentle breeze, although lonely, but his heart was clear.

The sound of talking came from the boulevard, breaking the warm silence, Ji Siming turned his head to look at Tong En and said, "Go back." ”

Tong En nodded.

"Good"

The two of them stood up, walked slowly back to the car along the boulevard, got into the car, Ji Siming drove the car directly to the door of the apartment according to Tong En's instructions, took out Tong En's day's harvest from the car, and delivered it to her.

Tong En stood at the door of the building, took a few big bags of things, looked at the corners of his mouth and said, "Thank you!" ”

Ji Siming smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Go back and get a good night's sleep." ”

Tong En nodded, turned and walked into the door of the apartment.

Ji Siming watched Tong En disappear into the door of the apartment, turned around and returned to the car, and sat quietly in the seat, as if he was a little confused. After a long time, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped into the night.
