Chapter 63: If it's near or far
The sky was just slightly bright, and when Xiaojing woke up from her sleep, there was already a silver-white world outside the window.
Xiaojing got up and put on her coat, and stepped on the snow on the mountain behind the hotel alone, the snow under her feet was a little thick, making a "rustling" sound.
In front of her, several children were building snowmen. She stood from afar watching them, enjoying their fun. The children built the snowman and excitedly ran to find branches to make noses and hands for the snowman.
She remembered the last time she built a snowman, she was with Yu Yang. The snow fell very heavily that year, the forest was like a white fairy tale world, they built snowmen, had snowball fights, it was a simple and beautiful time, everything seemed like it was only yesterday.
She couldn't help but stop, slowly squatted down, gently picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and carefully kneaded her into the shape of a heart. Then she put this heart on the snowman's chest,
Yu Yang also woke up, he looked out the window and saw Xiaojing looking at a snowman in a daze. He picked up his coat and scarf and ran for her. He didn't come forward to disturb her, but quietly followed her, and she walked through the forest path in the direction of the Forbidden City.
When watching "Step by Step", Xiaojing was attracted by the snow scene of the Forbidden City, and today she can finally see the true face of the Forbidden City after the snow.
"The snow is too late in spring, so I wear the garden trees to make flying flowers." She followed suit, as if she was walking in a time tunnel. The Forbidden City in the snow, the red walls, glazed tiles, blue bricks, and white snow are not a charm, and all kinds of things under the heavy snow seem to be quietly telling the old things of the ancient palace. The ancient palace walls reveal the calm after the vicissitudes of life.
Standing under the city wall, she took off her hat, let the cold wind blow on her face, slid over her ears, and then inhaled deeply, feeling the clearest breath, a little bit of it melted into her body, washing away all the discomfort and exhaustion.
Being alone in this ice and snow can temporarily put everything aside, and at this time, she enjoys this loneliness and freedom immensely. Standing behind her, he accompanied him to feel the beauty of this silence.
Suddenly, she sneezed twice, and he suddenly appeared in front of her eyes as if he had fallen from the sky, which caught her off guard but also rejoiced.
"How could you?" She watched in amazement as he took off his scarf and wrapped it around her neck.
"I remember that you said in the past that you wanted to see the Forbidden City after the snow, and today you have got your wish." His voice was gentle for a long time, like a spring breeze, blowing into her heart.
"You remember."
Her little face was red from the snow, and that touch of red made his heart ripple again. He forcefully removed his hat to cover her glittering eyes, and he was afraid that in the next second, he would be unable to restrain himself.
"Beware of colds." Her face was half obscured by her hat and looked a little funny, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"You did it on purpose, how could you wear a hat like this." Saying that, she straightened her hat, and she was about to take off her scarf, but he didn't allow it: "Don't move, I won't approve you if you catch a cold." We're not done yet. ”
After saying that, he smiled and walked forward, she pouted and muttered: "It's really a gentleman one second, and a devil the next."
In this way, they walked one after the other, so that if they were close or far, they might be able to maintain the balance of their relationship.
At this time, the sky is already bright, the number of pedestrians on the road is gradually increasing, and a new busy day is about to begin. Soon, Yu Yang and Xiaojing also joined the ranks of office workers.
When Yu Yang and Xiaojing successfully signed the contract, Xiaojing's hanging heart finally landed. After getting on the plane, her heart finally relaxed, and she had already fallen asleep not long after the plane took off.
Yu Yang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he called her a blanket and gently covered her, this time her sleeping face was much more relaxed than the last time she saw it, and he felt that his heart had settled down when he looked at her. He closed his eyes quietly and enjoyed a moment of rest.
"Passengers, the plane is about to land, please put away the small table......" Listening to the voice, Yu Yang opened his eyes, it turned out that the plane was about to land, he looked at Xiaojing beside him, she was still sleeping sweetly, this was indeed Xiaojing's most solid sleep in so long.
He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he tried to buckle up for her, and although he carefully searched for the buckle in her seat, she was sensitive to the movement. When she opened her eyes, his face was on top of her eyes, and his lips were next to hers.
He also felt her movement, and when he looked at her, the two of them were looking at each other, and the telepathy caused their consciousness to freeze for a moment. They were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses, so the distance between them made them panic.
Yu Yang quickly bounced back to his position, Xiaojing blinked in embarrassment, and then they both heard their own rapid heartbeat.
Fortunately, the plane landed after a short time, and they resumed their usual friendship distance.
When they were about to walk out of the arrival area, Xiaojing greeted first: "I'll go first." ”
"Oh, good," he called out to her again when he saw that she was leaving, "Xiaojing." ”
"Huh?" She turned in response.
"You've been happy for the past two days, is my friend still competent?"
"Very good, thank you for your care in the past two days."
"That's good, I hope you'll be so happy in the future." Yu Yang knew that their relationship had been closer in the past two days, but perhaps farther away. Closer because they're friends, and farther away is also the reason.
"I will!" She smiled at him.
As soon as Xiaojing walked out of the airport, she saw Chen Ling waving to her, she was a little surprised, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Yang's location again, and saw that Yu Yang was still smiling at herself, so she calmly sat in Chen Ling's car.
He watched her leave, the smile on his face fading as she left, and all that was left was a sense of loss.
"Tired or not?" After getting into the car, Chen Ling saw Xiaojing's eyes as if he was thoughtful, so he asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
"Let's go somewhere, then." Chen Ling smiled and said to her that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Where to go, so mysterious."
"You'll know when you get there."
Since the successful marriage proposal, he has thought about giving Xiaojing a home and a harbor of their own. In a city like Shanghai, this is the dream that many young people strive for.
Chen Ling took Xiaojing to a community a little far from the city center, where housing prices in Shanghai are rising faster and faster every year, and this is within his reach without the support of his family.
After getting out of the car, Chen Ling took Xiaojing's hand and walked into a rough room of about 80 square meters, as soon as he entered the door, he excitedly described the appearance of their home: "Xiaojing, you see this is the living room, buy a blue fabric sofa at that time, and we can sit here and watch TV together every day; Here is our study, when the time comes, make a big bay window, and put a bookshelf next to it, so that it is convenient when you want to read a book at any time; This is our bedroom, wallpaper in your favorite colours, here ....."
Seeing Chen Ling happily depicting their future, Xiaojing's heart was more moved than joyful, she looked at him for a long time,
What touched her was not that she could finally have a house of her own in Shanghai, but Chen Ling's heart, he remembered all her preferences in his heart, and his future was full of her. This sense of steadfastness and security has been with her for many years, and she cherishes it.
For the last relationship, the good experience of these two days is an end. From then on, they can only be friends, and it is Chen Ling who should hold hands and walk the second half of her life.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it, thank you for your dedication."
Before Xiaojing finished speaking, Chen Ling hugged her into his arms, "For you, I am willing to do anything, thinking that we will be able to live in my own home soon, you don't know how happy I am." ”
"By the way, didn't you say you had something to say to my face?" Chen Ling suddenly remembered that Xiaojing was on a business trip.
In this atmosphere, how can Xiaojing mention Yu Yang? She thought about it for a while, but still didn't know where to start, so she could only pretend that it never happened: "Really? Maybe it's not a big deal, I forgot about it. ”
