During the night, I had a dream.

I dreamed that Lu Xiaoyu and I went to play script killing together.

She is still the same as she remembers, and she has not changed at all.

In my dream, I brought myself into Lu Ziyan, and I was carrying out wonderful reasoning and restoration throughout the whole process.

Lu Xiaoyu didn't speak, just looked into my eyes seriously and smiled.

How I wish the script in the dream was long enough to have an ending that I couldn't push off, so that it could go on forever.

I wish this dream was long enough, one night was not enough, ten years or a lifetime.

I woke up from a dream and my pillow was wet.

I think it must be because Lu Xiaoyu's lips are more seductive than cherries, and it made me drool all night.

It's all her fault.

I haven't seen you for a long time, it's rare to dream back at midnight, and I have to pretend to be so cold, I don't say a word.

It's also her fault.

I remembered a post she had posted in the space:

"If you suddenly dream of someone you haven't seen in years, she is forgetting you."

No, counting the days, she should have drunk that bowl of soup that would make people forget the past.

"It's good to forget."

In a trance, I seemed to hear her voice.

"What about you, will you forget me?"

I opened my eyes, looked at the beam of moonlight that slipped into the curtain, and said in my heart: "Lu Xiaoyu, don't be too domineering. ”

"No one is gone, and they won't let me stay at all."

I don't know how long it took, but the alarm went off. I think I'm asleep again, at least not at all now.

Beijing's morning rush hour on Monday was as crowded as ever, because it was not a transfer station, and the space in the station was not large. I waited in line outside the station for 20 minutes and finally passed the security check.

After that, it was very smooth, although there were many people in the car, but I was pushed and shoved into the car by the people behind me.

You don't need to work on your own at all.

If only this could be done in work and life.

Maybe it's because there are too many people in the carriage, it's too stuffy, and the air is dirty.

As soon as the car door closed, I began to feel sleepy.

Thoughts are like clouds and wind, boundless.

That was the first time I took the subway with Lu Xiaoyu.

"This must be because I have a mine at home, I grew up in Beijing, and I took the subway for the first time?" I was a little emotional.

"What nonsense?" Lu Xiaoyu gave me a blank look, "I just prefer to take the bus." ”

"What's the point?" I don't understand, "The bus will be stuck in traffic, and you have to wait for the traffic light." ”

"And it's not like the subway, one trip after another, you don't have to wait for a long time."

Lu Xiaoyu said to me with a smile: "But the subway is often underground." ”

"So what?"

"You're stupid, there's no scenery outside the window of the car underground, only advertising."

In her memory, her eyes were very bright when she said this, and thousands of stars were sinking in her pupils and flickering.

"By taking the bus, I can see more of this beautiful world."

I'm stupid, really.

Maybe she never tried to hide it, but I didn't understand it at the time, and she didn't find it out.

Still blame her, knowing that I am stupid, but I have to guess everything.

At that time, I was not only stupid, but also stubborn.

"But it's very unsafe to take the bus, you never know when the next trip will come."

If the technology is popularized, it can be a few years faster, and it would be nice to let the bus display the itinerary in real time earlier.

"But that's true of life." Lu Xiaoyu tried to convince me to take the bus, "You never know which one will come earlier tomorrow or the accident." ”

"Well, let's take the subway."

Lu Xiaoyu had no choice but to pout, and accompanied me through the security check with a look of grievance.

"This time I will accompany you on the subway, and next time you will accompany me on the bus."

On the subway, I pulled the handrail, and she used me as a handrail.

"No problem."

I promised her, but I didn't care.

Every time I went on a date after that, it was either a taxi or a subway, and I had long forgotten what I had promised her.

I forgot, but she didn't remind me.

Every time she would accompany me on the subway, she would be very enthusiastic to give up her seat to the elderly and children, and then she would justifiably ask me to give up her seat.

"This aunt doesn't look very old, right?" I leaned into her ear and whispered to her.

Lu Xiaoyu glanced at me: "If you're too lazy, forget it." ”

The violent shaking of the train brought my head out of my memory, and the voices of the crew resounded through the horns throughout the carriage.

"The train is out of order, it is expected to stop for 10 minutes, please be patient and wait for ......"

Soon, the train resumed operation.

At the next stop, I got off the bus.

After exiting the station, I followed the map to find the nearest bus stop.

It didn't take long for me to get on the bus I was going to take.

Since it is a bus lane, there is no traffic jam along the way. And there is a seat in the car, so there is no need to stand.

I went to the last row and chose a place near the window, looking out the window at the endless stream of cars, the city and memories that kept going backwards.

It's a pity that time is as stubborn as me, and I will only stubbornly move forward.

I won't be able to go back to the old days, and I'll never be able to keep my promises.

I came to the company earlier than I used to.

After I turned on the computer and made a cup of coffee, Chen Jie was late.

I thought I was already very haggard after insomnia in the middle of the night, and Chen Jie looked even more haggard than me.

His hair was a mess, a mess that a bird could misunderstand when viewed from above.

The small eyes are completely surrounded by large dark circles.

"Good morning, national treasure." I say.

"Okay." His voice was a little hoarse.

It feels familiar.

"You're not going to break up, are you?" I asked.

He looked at me, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he stopped talking.

I guessed right.

Chen Jie looked absent-minded all morning, and as soon as he arrived at twelve o'clock, he took me to the fast food restaurant outside the office building to eat.

"I broke up." After ordering, he said to me with a sad face.

I didn't speak, gave him a sympathetic look, and waited for him to continue.

"I brought up the breakup." He paused, "But I really love her." ”

"Maybe you think you love her very much." I say.

He was noncommittal, just sighed.

"She's really nice, but we're not a good fit." He finally stopped sighing.

"When it is broken, it is broken."

He was stunned, perhaps he had been expecting me to ask why, so that he could tell me the story of heart-rending love and unpleasantness, but unfortunately I didn't care.

The atmosphere after that was very dreary, and we each ate rice bowls without saying a word.

It wasn't until it was time to settle the bill that he spoke again.

"I remember you studied in Beijing?"

"Hmm."

"Then do you know a local girl in Beijing?" He asked me.

I do know one.

Her name is Shen Qianqian, and she is my junior in the same major.

"What?" I didn't answer his question directly.

"When it's time to get married, the family is urging tightly." He smiled sheepishly.

"So what?"

"Isn't this thinking that if you can find a Beijing girl to marry, won't the hukou problem be solved?" He's honest.

"Oh, that's it." I say.

"I don't know."

"Okay." Chen Jie's tone couldn't hide his disappointment, "If you meet the right one in the future, you can introduce it to me." ”

I casually agreed.

On the way back to the office after settling the bill, my phone suddenly rang.

Although it was an unfamiliar phone number, I picked it up quickly.

The voice on the other end of the line was so familiar that I recognized it almost immediately.

"Liu Yan, I'm Qin Yue."

"Yes, it's me." I walked to a quiet corner and motioned for Chen Jie to go first without waiting for me.

"Long time no see." I said, "I just met Lu Ziyan yesterday, and you called me today." ”

"Did you negotiate it?"

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment.

"How could it be ......" Qin Yue on the other end of the phone smiled, "I called you today to tell you." ”

"I'm getting married."
