On a rainy night in July, Xu Zhiliu left.

During the evening call, Cheng Yubai saw Xu Qing half-heartedly asking about the repair progress of the spring and summer bowls, and he probably had a guess. Since she sent the bowl back, she has never cared anymore, as if when this matter does not exist at all, she does not ask, he does not say, and the two of them default that nothing has happened.

When the rain fell that night, he was still pulling blanks on the wheeled cart, and had just moved the sunflowers under the eaves, and when he turned around, it seemed that something was missing from the workbench.

He approached to inspect it, and the spring and summer bowls were gone.

The moment finally came. Cheng Yubai was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you going to leave now?" No more waiting? Next week is the vote on stopping the teaching experiment," you don't want to know the results? ”

The air was damp and rainy.

Cheng Yubai slammed the table and gave birth to a nameless fire. It's a pity that this is a respectable rival, but it's a pity that they weren't born in the same era, and they didn't really fight each other and become old friends.

The wind wandered around, but there was no response at all. Is he just gone? Does Xu Qing know? Did they say goodbye? Cheng Yubai thought wildly, and just when he was desperate, a drop of ink smashed on the floor tiles.

The door was suddenly slammed open, and Xu Qing stood in front of the door soaking wet.

Cheng Yubai's heart jumped and he stepped forward to hug her.

It was windy and rainy this night, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only a drop of ink smashed on the bluestone bricks. Xu Qing grabbed Cheng Yubai and kept asking, "Did you see him?" Is he still there? ”

Cheng Yubai shook his head and stared at Mo without blinking.

The ink fell under the patio, but it was not washed away by the water.

"I can't see it either, is he gone?" She cried and said, "Is he really gone?" ”

Cheng Yubai's eyes were also sour.

More and more ink, gradually converging into one.

Xu Qing grabbed Cheng Yubai's arm tightly and held his breath.

"It's him, I recognize his handwriting, he's writing, what is he going to write?"

The ink moves in the rain, flicking its tail like a swimming dragon, bringing the rain high, and then throwing it out forcefully, bursting with a string of splashes. The water splashed blindly, and Cheng Yubai and Xu Qing looked sideways.

Looking back, there is only one line left between heaven and earth:

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go.

……

A week later, the vote came as scheduled.

This time, Cheng Yubai did not attend, and Xu Qing, as the new representative of the reform group, was about to speak on stage.

When he went out in the morning, Cheng Yubai carried the sunflower under the windowsill, took out a super large bowl from the cupboard, filled it with water, caught the two koi who had been teasing Xu Qing in the water tank, stretched out his five fingers, sprinkled a handful of rice into it, and together with the sunflower, he held his breath and bowed to the place where the sun rose.

Xu Qing heard what was in his mouth, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of demon magic are you performing?" ”

"A monk who went up the mountain taught me the mantra of victory, don't interrupt."

Xu Qing bent down to straighten his skirt, Cheng Yubai turned around, saw a thin white waist, squinted his eyes, and said to himself: "You have polluted my Taoism with beauty." ”

"What?"

Before Xu Qing could hear clearly, the man had already leaned over, attached his hand to her waist, and asked softly, "When will the investigation end?" ”

"Have you reviewed the writing?"

"It's been written a long time ago."

"Oh, I forgot."

"You just did it on purpose."

She didn't explain, drank a glass of water, cut her hair in the mirror, and turned around to ask Cheng Yubai: "How am I dressed today?" Is it decent? ”

She is good-looking, she looks good in a professional skirt, she looks better with lipstick, she looks good everywhere, but she just doesn't give him a good look.

Cheng Yubai looked away and snorted.

Xu Qing saw that it was too late, so he hurriedly walked forward. Cheng Yubai went to see her off, but was stopped by her: "Don't go, on that occasion today, I'm afraid that if you appear, they will have extra ideas." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Yubai is not reluctant, after all, today is her home field. He lowered his head and straightened her collar, and joked with a smile: "Be merciful, don't make those old guys so angry that they can't get off the stage." ”

"I've got it."

Xu Qing got into the car, checked the speech, corrected the process of the voting meeting, and started the car.

She said to go, Cheng Yubai ate a mouthful of dust, and wanted to tell her to drive slowly, but suddenly the butt of the car fell back again, and the window rolled down, revealing Zhang Furong's face.

Xu Qing hooked his hand, Cheng Yubai looked left and right, and reluctantly stepped forward. Xu Qing threw a bunch of keys to him: "My apartment, everything is packed up, you can help me move over when you go back." ”

Cheng Yubai was silent for a second, leaned into the car window and hugged her and kissed her.

said that he wanted to live together, Xu Qing waved his hand: "I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm."

"Don't buy flowers today, it's a waste of money."

"Oh."

"Nothing else to say?"

Cheng Yubai remembered that rainy night a week ago.

He smiled slightly, and Xu Qing also thought of that rainy night through his eyes. There seemed to be many obscure rainy nights between them, and those rainy nights brought irreparable goodbyes to life, and carried away their restrained thoughts with the wind.

Each of them has their own rainy nights.

And those rainy nights will come to an end.

You say, "If there is an afterlife, can I keep righteousness?"

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go.

Presumably that was the answer that the teenager gave himself, and it was also the answer given to them. Xu Qing arrived at the Chunyuan Porcelain Association, Xu Xiaohe was already waiting at the door, and Gao Wen was sitting in the front row of the conference room.

She stepped on five-centimeter high heels, wore a silver-gray suit, her hair pinned behind her ears, and her face was plain and fresh, seemingly without any decoration or threat, but every step she took, the sound of her heels stepping on the ground made people worry.

She has a calm and dignified body that is rare for young people, and at the same time she is talkative and sharp. The members who had attended the third seminar of Baicai reform were deeply impressed by her, after all, she could make the gold-swallowing beast faint on the spot, and she couldn't find a second one after rummaging through Jingdezhen.

He is an out-and-out ruthless person.

The door opened in front of him, Xu Qing took a deep breath, walked in step by step with a smile on his face, and stood on the podium where Cheng Yubai once stood. She tried the microphone, coughed lightly, and began to speak: "You should be familiar with me, so I won't say the polite words, and now I will start ......"

Xu Qing maintained a consistent standard, and he was kind and inducing.

Of course, there were several gunpowder smoke on the way, Xiao Qi came to wait for news at noon, a group of people were sitting outside, and from time to time they heard the sound of slapping the table and smashing chairs inside.

A group of people followed with trembling hearts.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the final voting stage was entered and the votes were counted on the spot.

After looking at the wall clock many times, Cheng Yubai washed his hands, stretched his muscles and bones, and boiled water to make tea. A scoop of drinks is not open today, and the room is empty at the moment, and there is no one.

Cheng Yubai turned around, leaned on the porch and looked through Xu Qing's luggage, the top was a box, and the decorative porcelain of a rabbit was hung on the secret buckle of the box.

He touched it, and to be honest, it was quite inferior, far less than what he did.

He made up his mind to make a new one, so he let go of the rabbit with a loose finger, and walked through the front yard to remove a large bouquet of roses hidden in the dark compartment of the flower hall.

Cheng Yubai touched his chin and stared intently at the roses.

Vulgar is really vulgar.

However, no matter how beautiful the world is, she is still the most beautiful.

Cheng was so poetic that he wanted to go to the official account to post again, so he endured it and walked up to Langfeng Pavilion.

In the evening, the clouds on the banks of the Changjiang River are steaming, the flow of people is weaving, people are returning home after a hard day's work, the lively old city is crackling and lighting a fire to open a meal, every household is holding a lamp, and the smell of food comes out from the street.

Fireworks in the world, at this time. Cheng Yubai's heart was quiet, and when he turned around, a figure was walking from the river holding a bunch of fiery roses.

Cheesy, fucking cheesy.

He narrowed, tightened his gaze, and reached into his pocket for a cigarette.

After groping for a long time, I remembered to quit.

Xu Qing said that he wanted to live with him, and there were too many possibilities there, so he quit smoking. Every time I feel itchy, I think of someone around me, and I feel that life is no longer difficult.

It seems that the world that is in chaos together can also start to look forward to.

Cheng Yubai thought endlessly, ten years, oh, they have known each other for ten years, and everything has just begun.

Xu Qing walked towards him step by step, a bright smile swaying in his eyes.

It was the girl he loved.

The girl said, "Cheng Yubai, I'm back." ”
