It's night, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

The sound of firewood crackling could be heard from the campfire from time to time, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was large, and even as they sat around the campfire, the three of them still put on their coats.

Ma Xi said while fiddling with the fire, "Sitting around the campfire, under the stars, it seems to be a long time ago. About when I was very young, in the summer compound, there was still a pomegranate tree in the yard at that time, and sometimes my father would buy charcoal to barbecue under the tree. The adults were busy chatting and we kids were running around. ”

"What kind of child was Lao Ma when he was a child? The life of the compound is very characteristic of the times, and you are in the identity of the leader, the king of children? Or a follower, or a bystander? ”

"Little junior brother, have you found it, Lao Xu is very anxious if he doesn't deconstruct others for a while." Although Ma Xi ridiculed, he still gave an answer, "When I was a child, I was the one who was naughty and mischievous, and I took four or five friends around the streets and alleys all day long, doing evil, either breaking other people's glass, or beating other people's children to cry, and my father apologized to others all day long. ”

"You are now a qualified adult, so is this recklessness, or rebellion, of childhood still there? We all know that there are some things in our bones that are hard to change. But it doesn't look out of you, is it hidden? ”

"This is something you need to discover slowly in the next show." Ma Xi gave his answer euphemistically, and then looked at Su Ye, "Little junior brother, what about you, you seem to be a person who is very in line with mainstream values, you are not like Lao Xu, nor like me, this is rare, I am curious, how did you do it?" ”

Su Ye understood the meaning of what Ma Xi didn't finish, in this era, there will be many problems, some people will be as angry as Xu Qingyuan, and some people will be as sophisticated and sleek as Ma Xi, but he seems to have a little bit of mud and not stained, and he knows the world but not the world.

"I think it's probably because I can calmly accept everything that happens, the good things are not surprised to surprise, and the bad things are not sad to the point of losing my soul. Of course, it is often the bad things that change us, and hopefully we can all be rampaging roses, flickering forever in all the fading of the worn! ”

"Well said, this situation is worth a drink!"

Xu Qingyuan's snort startled Su Ye, but what made Su Ye even more dumbfounded was that two cases of beer were lifted up in the blink of an eye.

Su Ye stammered a little, "Senior brother, you know that I can't drink." ”

Xu Qingyuan directly opened a can and handed it to Su Ye, "When you sing about wine, life is geometric." It's rare to be with a confidant, and it's over after drinking. ”

Su Ye only felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, he knew that Xu Qingyuan was a temperamental person, but how did this feel as if he had been prepared?

Seeing that Su Ye was still hesitating, Ma Xi assisted on the side, "Don't be afraid, there are no outsiders, if you get drunk, you will go straight to the tent and fall asleep, besides, are you still afraid that no one will take care of you?" ”

Ma Xi made a look, referring to Jiang Baizhi in the opposite camera. When the show was broadcast, I probably thought that Ma Xi was talking about the staff.

Su Ye was a little embarrassed to be said, and he didn't hesitate, "Then drink it tonight!" ”

"Cheers to the realm of the little junior brother."

Su Ye took a big sip, and then said, "Actually, I can't really not be happy with things and not sad for myself, at least in the face of feelings, I am also an ordinary man, I will be sleepless day and night because of the other party's tossing and turning, and I will also be so happy that the other party is so happy." ”

Xu Qingyuan burped, this person is still sprinkling dog food, so he has to pour it!

Seeing this, Ma Xi added fuel to the fire and said, "Lao Xu, do you have such an experience as Xiao Su, and have you ever had an unforgettable love when you were young?" ”

"There's really a one, but it's a crush."

Wine is really a good thing, when it is put down, Xu Qingyuan will definitely not say it, but he doesn't vomit unpleasantly now, he has forgotten the original intention of this wine, which is to let Su Ye get drunk and watch him spit out the truth after drinking.

"Tell me?" Su Ye and Ma Xi pricked up their gossip ears together.

"Actually, I was quite pretentious when I was a child, I received the manuscript fee when I was in high school, and when I entered the gate of Jinghua University, I thought to myself that my time would soon come. But I met a senior sister, she has a special, transcendent beauty in her, it is difficult for me to describe, I feel that when I see her, I am like a toad.

And she also admired me, you know the atmosphere of Jinghua University in that era, the cradle of intellectuals, the conscience of intellectuals, I told her that my ideal is to become a Quixote figure, for this era to exert her own strength, she did not laugh at me, on the contrary, respected, supported and encouraged me. ”

"And then?"

Xu Qingyuan took another sip of wine, "Although we are toads, we are also a brave toad, I used my own manuscript money to invite her to a Western restaurant on her birthday that day, and then she rejected me." ”

"What is the reason?" Su Ye and Ma Xi were almost in unison.

"She said I was the kind Quasimodo."

Ma Xi and Su Ye glanced at each other and smiled unprincipledly, Quasimodo is a character in "Notre Dame de Paris", ugly on the outside, but kind on the inside. Looking at Lao Xu's unruly hair now, as well as his potholed and extraordinarily rough face, it seems that it is indeed true.

"And then?" Su Ye asked.

"My sister was a year older than me, and then she went to study in the United States, and I went too. Later, she married a senior brother. ”

Obviously, there are many stories in between, but Xu Qingyuan is reluctant to say any more.

"Do you blame her? I'm referring to such a superficial reason to reject you. Ma Xi asked.

"She's telling the truth, and she's one of the best memories of my life, so how can I blame her?"

The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while, Ma Xi raised his eyebrows, changed the topic, and said, "Su Ye, do you want to tell me about your like?" I think you have a lot of experience just now. ”

"Me?" Su Ye unconsciously set his eyes on Jiang Baizhi, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm about the same as my brother, and I've had a crush for many years, but I'm a little luckier than my brother. We met no sooner or later, she fell in love with me no sooner or later, I happened to be a little braver, she happened to take the initiative, I didn't seem to chase her in a substantive sense, but she sensed my intentions and took the initiative to confess, and then we were together logically. That's why I think the love that can be together is a good fate, and in retrospect, God seems to have arranged everything. ”

Jiang Baizhi on the other side smiled when she heard this, because it was really like what Su Ye said, as if God had arranged everything. Blind dates were arranged; and arrange to experience life; arranged his own free move, invited Su Ye to parachute, and went to Youqing Villa; arrange for Su Ye to send a circle of friends; Arrange for yourself to sing "Xiaoyu" in a bar...... It's as if the whole world is assisting.

Su Ye's words made Xu Qingyuan even more uncomfortable, and it was not a good fate to dare to love him, so he drank a jar of wine again

The night was getting darker, and I don't know when, the three of them were no longer sitting on the bench, but lying directly on the sand.

I don't know who took the lead in humming "Laughing Red Dust".

"Hongchen is ridiculous, and infatuation is the most boring."

"It's okay to be empty-eyed, this life is over. But the heart is no longer disturbed, and I just want to exchange it for half a lifetime. ”

"No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, I don't want them, let me sway."

In the crackling of the campfire, the voices of the three people were heard far and wide in the empty desert.

Today she went to Shanghai because she was going to see a concert, so I asked for leave. We met, went to the restaurant where she wanted to eat, and I bought a bouquet of roses. The day before yesterday, she listed what she was going to say today, and most of the time she said that I was listening. She was not as enthusiastic as I imagined for the day, and at the end of the day, at the subway station, we were like normal friends, politely greeting, saying goodbye, and agreeing to see you next time. When I came back from the bike, I was a little sad because some things could be felt and she was living a full life now, which was good
