Chapter 4 Going to the Future

The night in Ningcheng is still very beautiful. The lights are dim, and the street lamps on the streets are blooming like fireworks. The stars in the sky twinkled and twinkled, as if to say something, the moon that has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival is like a girl laughing, bent into a crescent moon.

Lin Li put his hands in his pockets, looked at the ground, and slowly walked forward step by step. Next to him, Li Xuanyao was also silent, walking with Lin Li's steps.

"Today, you're okay!" As soon as Lin Li's words came out, others listened to it very inexplicably, but Li Xuan, who heard the words, trembled slightly.

"Hmm." Her voice trembled a little at this point.

The air was quiet again, and only the noise of traffic remained.

"I'll take you home!" Lin Li stopped and said softly.

"Good!"

Lin Li walked to the side of the road and was about to stop one, but was pulled by Li Xuan. Lin Li looked at her suspiciously, only to see that there was some grievance on her pale face, and she shook her head at Lin Li.

Obviously, she chose Lin Li to send her back on foot, but fortunately, Li Xuanyao's house was not too far from here.

"Okay!" Lin Li nodded, and then gently took the cold palms that were tugging at him.

Seeing this, Li Xuan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything, but her already pale face became a little gloomy.

"Forest." Li Xuanyao didn't look up, but stared at the ground.

"Huh?" Lin Li stopped and turned to look at Li Xuan.

"Thank you!"

Lin Li smiled slightly, but did not speak.

"It's really safe to have you there!" Li Xuanyao raised her head at this time, and her eyes looked directly at Lin Li.

And Lin Li felt this gaze, but he was a little evasive.

As if he understood something, Li Xuan smiled bitterly, and then stopped talking. Lin Li was a little embarrassed when Li Xuanyao just spoke, and he wouldn't be bored to find something to say.

The two of them were like this, without saying anything all the way.

Shangshui Garden is Li Xuanyao's residence.

"I'm here!" Li Xuanyao stood at the gate of the community and stopped.

"Oh!" Lin Li raised his head and looked at the sign of Shangshui Yuan, and then let out a soft "oh".

"Thank you for sending me, I'll go up first, see you tomorrow!" Li Xuan smiled, her big eyes were bent like the moon in the sky at this time, beautiful and moving.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Seeing Li Xuanyao's figure disappear from view little by little, Lin Li turned around and left. And Li Xuanyao, who had clearly walked into the floor, silently took a few steps back, looked at Lin Liyuan's back, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then went upstairs.

As if a god had made a ghost, Lin Li's footsteps paused, and when he raised his head, he saw it.

"Why, I've gotten here!" As he spoke, he turned and left.

"Xiao Lizi, I see that you have been hesitating here for a long time, how can you choose to turn around and run!" Zhang Ping'an had a rag draped over his shoulders, leaned against the door with a smile, and looked at Lin Li.

Lin Li shrugged helplessly, and then entered the encounter.

"I saw it all." Zhang Ping'an leaned against the bar and said suddenly.

"Huh? What do you see? Lin Li's head was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.

"Li Xuan!"

Lin Li drank a large sip of boiling water, but he didn't feel a burning tongue, but tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.

"Big brother, isn't it hot?" Zhang Ping'an gasped, glanced at the steaming water glass, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Obviously, he still felt the taste of boiling water, his throat didn't feel a pain, and he coughed violently, and the tears that had been rolling in his eyes finally remained.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Ping'an hurriedly took a glass of warm water, stood behind Lin Li, and patted him on the back.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Li took out a tissue, wiped the saliva and tears from the corners of his mouth, and then sat up straight. "Why are you pouring it for me, such hot water, ahem."

"How do I know you're so fierce now that you can't even feel the temperature of the water glass?" Zhang Ping'an hugged his grievances.

"You and Li Xuan......" Zhang Ping'an still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Lin Li lowered his head, was silent for a long time, drank the warm water in his hand in one sip, looked at the curious Zhang Ping'an, and said: "I have a very complicated relationship with Li Xuan, we have a very complicated relationship...... "Sister, let me tell you, men are very dignified creatures. When a man is willing to let go of his dignity, let go of everything, to sincerely consider you, to protect you, not to allow others to touch you, no matter what you do, he will choose to forgive infinitely, it means that he really loves you...... Uh, hiccup~" Zhang Ping'an burped, lay on his side on the dining table, and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan covered her mouth and smiled. Lin Li's face was helpless, and he went up and gave him a kick.

"Don't make a fuss, what I said is true, if Linlin had considered this at the beginning, maybe she wouldn't have left me......" As he spoke, Zhang Ping'an picked up a bottle of beer and raised his head to drink it again.

Lin Li stood up, dragged the beer bottle, called the boss to settle the account, and then helped Zhang Ping'an to leave.

"I'll help him up first, and then I'll send you back to ...... Send you home. Downstairs in the apartment, Lin Li carried Zhang Ping'an, who was already drunk and unconscious, and turned to Li Xuan and whispered.

"Okay."

It was very "difficult" to open the door, turn on the light, and then threw Zhang Ping'an on the bed, helped him take off his coat and shoes, covered him with a quilt, and let out a sigh of relief. When he was pulling the curtains, he happened to see Li Xuan, who was wrapped in his coat downstairs, but still a little trembling, and the complicated taste in his heart germinated again.

"Long waiting!"

"It's fine." Seeing Lin Li go downstairs, Li Xuanyao's trembling body was forcibly endured, but these were all seen by Lin Li.

Waving, a taxi stopped.

In the car, Li Xuanyao wrapped her coat tightly again, the two were silent, and the taxi driver glanced at the two through the reflector and smiled.

"Young man, it's okay for two people to have a little contradiction together, man, admit your mistake, won't the problem be solved? A cold war with each other can't solve any problems, and in the end you can only miss it. "The driver is in his early forties, such a mature man, and his eyes are full of stories." When my mother-in-law left, if I had confessed my mistake and kept it, I wouldn't have been like this now, alas! ”

Lin Li listened to the driver's misunderstanding, and did not explain, but looked at Li Xuanyao next to him.

"Thank you, master." Lin Li got out of the car and thanked him politely.

"It's okay, young man, don't leave regrets for yourself in the future." The master shook his head and drove the car away.

"I'm here, thank you." Li Xuanyao handed the coat to Lin Li and said softly.

"Well, good night!"

"Lin Li!" Just as Lin Li was about to turn around and leave, Li Xuan's voice came from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"At that time...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, it's all in the past, living in the present, isn't it?" Lin Li turned around and said softly.

"Live in the moment?" Li Xuan's eyes fluttered. "Let's get acquainted again, okay?"

……

Sitting on the side of the road, the dim light shone on Lin Li's body, pulling out a long shadow. Lin Li exhaled a puff of smoke, and his mood was complicated.

"Back in time? Maybe I can't go back! Lin Li muttered to himself. Actually, I never blamed you! It's just that once the mustard is born in the heart, can it still be eliminated? ”

"Li Xuan, why did you fool Lao Tzu at the beginning, but why didn't Lao Tzu blame you in his heart?"

In the silence of the streets, the voices of the forest echo all around.

On a late autumn night, it is extremely cold, and people in the city who have been busy all day have fallen asleep peacefully. Dreams, or beauty, or evil, or joy, or sadness...... On the camphor tree on the side of the road, the withered leaves fell lightly to the ground, and with the autumn wind blowing, gradually drifting away, drifting away. The seasonal changes in Ningcheng are very abnormal, it was too hot some time ago, and now, you have to wear at least a thicker coat when you go out. The wind blowing in the face is no longer so mild, even a little cold.

Winter is coming.

Lin Lili ate breakfast at the breakfast shop near the apartment, felt the change of the weather, and couldn't help but sigh, it's winter again, and the time is so fast!

"Young man, you can help me look at this phone, my son called me, but I didn't receive it." At this moment, an old man walked up to Lin Li with his mobile phone and said a little shyly.

"Oh, okay." Lin Li hurriedly woke up from his exclamation, took the uncle's mobile phone, and helped the uncle return the call.

"Hey, Xiaozhu, yes, yes, don't worry, you're in good health......"

Lin Li looked at the uncle's happy smile, and that kind tone, and involuntarily thought of his parents, since graduation, it seems that he really hasn't called his mother, if they receive a call, they will be like this uncle, very happy!

Gradually, he felt that the buns he chewed in his mouth had become tasteless.

"Xiao Lin, this cooperation with Gaode, you and Xiao Li have performed very well, and it is really worthy of praise for being able to do this as a novice. Therefore, the company decided to give you a salary increase. ”

As soon as he arrived at the company, Lin Li was called to the office by Director Hu, and when he heard the news, he almost jumped up with joy. After all, after turning positive, the hard work of the past two months finally paid off at this time.

Relatively speaking, Li Xuanyao is much calmer.

"Mr. Lin, since your salary has been raised, don't you ask me to squander?" Out of the director's office, Li Xuanyu put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and said to Lin Li with a smile.

"Huh? Absolutely! At that moment, Lin Li was purely a conditioned reflex, and at this moment, he had an illusion, as if the two of them had returned to their college days.

"Hey, Ping'an, don't talk, listen to my brother, I'm raising my salary, hahaha, I'll have a treat tonight, whatever you want." As soon as he got off work, Lin Li immediately called Zhang Ping'an to share the good news.

"Ouch, Lin Shao, this is a good thing, but since you have a treat, you can't run away and be slaughtered by the master." On the other end of the phone, Zhang Ping'an's voice came.

"When did my brother treat you badly, I'll see you at the old place in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, I found Li Xuanyao standing next to me and looking at him with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Lin Li was stared at a little uncomfortable, and moved stiffly.

"It's okay, I'm waiting for you to take me to splurge?" Li Xuanyao said and turned to leave. Lin Li was left alone to stand still, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiao Lizi, I want to eat that, and that, and ......"

Lin Li suddenly felt three black lines appear in his head, and stuffed the menu into Zhang Ping'an's hands.

"Order it yourself."

Then, he turned his face and looked at Li Xuan, who was looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Food stall, it should be your first time here, right?"

"How can I be so squeamish, I'm also a lot of masturbation, okay?" Li Xuan glanced at Lin Li with disgust, and the charm almost made Lin Li stay again.

"That's good, I'm afraid you won't get used to it?" Lin Li scratched his head in embarrassment. "I've always been like this with Ping'an, don't mind. It's also this kid, who wants to masturbate one by one. ”

"I think it's good for you to be like this, at least, when you're unhappy, someone will accompany you to let go of your body and mind and get drunk." Li Xuanyao held her chin with her hand, her eyes a little confused.

Lin Li glanced at Li Xuanyao's somewhat thin dress, and involuntarily took off his shirt and draped it over her.

Li Xuan's eyes were depressed and she looked at the coat draped on her body, and there was the temperature of this man on it, so warm, it made people feel so relieved.

She didn't refuse. Lin Li woke up, to be precise, he didn't sleep all night. He didn't know what kind of feeling he had in his heart, and finally figured out that it was giving up!

At five o'clock, the sky was not yet light, the biting cold wind was blowing, there were no pedestrians on the street, only the breakfast shop was open, ready for people to have breakfast. Lin Li wrapped himself in a cotton coat and wandered lonely on the street, he lit a cigarette for himself, took two puffs of great enjoyment, and then coughed violently, and he was choked.

Finally, he climbed a nearby tower, on which he sat and watched the horizon glow with a hint of whiteness.

The hazy weather of more than half a month finally passed, and as soon as the sun climbed out of the horizon, a warm breath swept across Ningcheng.

Lin Li washed his face, looked at himself in the mirror, without a trace of energy, sighed silently, put on his backpack, and went to work.

"Xiaolin, come over here." Director Hu's face was serious, and Lin Li's heart sank when he saw this.

"Director Hu, what's wrong?" Lin Li knocked on the door and entered the office, asking weakly.

"I didn't have a good rest last night! Pay more attention to your body, although the company's task is heavy, but the body is the most important. As soon as he entered the door, Director Hu saw Lin Li's state and miraculously cared about him.

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, don't worry, I will definitely ...... this negotiation"

"I called you here for two things." Director Hu raised his palm and interrupted Lin Li's words. "The first thing is about negotiation, you don't have to be responsible, we have already handed it over to Chen Ping; The second thing is about Xiao Li......"

Speaking of this, Director Hu paused, raised his eyes and looked at Lin Li. At this time, Lin Li, when Director Hu's first thing was thrown, was already stunned, and when Director Hu said "Xiao Li", his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body shook slightly.

"When I came to the office in the morning, I saw this resignation letter, yes, Xiao Li's." Director Hu pushed a letter of resignation onto the table, and Lin Li looked up and saw three delicate words written on the envelope - Li Xuan.

"Actually, don't look at my age, but I know the way you young people are, Xiao Lin, Xiao Li She is a good girl, put aside the boss, during this period of getting along, I am also your brother, as an elder brother, I hope the two of you can do well." In this life, people will always do something wrong and miss some people, but if you can grasp it in your hands, you will let it go, and it will only be regret. Director Hu suddenly spoke seriously, walked up to Lin Li, and patted him on the shoulder.

"No matter what happens between you, man, you should have some strength to chase Xiao Li back, ah?"

Lin Li had mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't tell what it was like, listening to Director Hu's "sincere" words, and finally, he smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Li is at Ningdu Airport, if there is no traffic jam on the road, you can stop her before she boards the plane." Director Hu threw a car key over, and Lin Li hurriedly caught it. "Drive my car!"

Lin Li bowed deeply to Director Hu gratefully, turned around and left. Looking at the hurried back, Director Hu smiled: Young, it's so good!

Although it has been two years since he got his driver's license, Lin Li has really never touched a car, he never thought that Lao Hu would be so generous, and his gossip heart would be so heavy. Looking at the steering wheel he was holding, Lin Li was still very touched in his heart.

A white BMW sports car was running on the road, Lin Li's breathing was a little short, and his hand holding the steering wheel was trembling slightly. But fortunately, the bad traffic jam did not appear, and fifty minutes later, Lin Li saw the huge four words from afar - Ningdu Airport.

After parking and locking the car, Lin Lifei ran straight to the airport, looking around as he ran, for fear of missing Li Xuan's figure. It's really not easy to find someone in the huge airport, and after running around and looking for more than ten minutes, I still haven't found that familiar figure.

"Ding...... Please note that your flight 484 from Ningcheng to New York has arrived at the airport, please bring your belongings and check in at Gate 3.

Ladies and Gentlemen,may I have your attention please……”

Hearing this notice, Lin Li was startled, and hurriedly ran to the No. 3 boarding office, when he was about to arrive at the registration office, his steps suddenly stopped, his mouth was panting, his eyes were fixed on the suitcase, and he was looking at his figure with a smile on his face.

Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan's face, although it was covered by a touch of makeup, was still easy to find that haggard.

After the two looked at each other like this for nearly a minute, Li Xuan pulled the suitcase and turned around and walked into the boarding gate. Lin Li stood in place, stunned and looked at the gradually disappearing figure, he didn't chase it, and there was no exit to block it.

In that look, he felt a kind of determination......

"If we meet again, you may find that this relationship has reached the end;

If we meet again, we may not say it again, and say that love for you will never change......"

Somehow, Lin Li's mind sounded the melody that he had listened to countless times.

……

The party finally ended, and Zhang Ping'an pushed Lin Li to rush to the backstage. Accidentally, Zhang Ping'an bumped into a girl, he quickly apologized, but the girl seemed to have broken her foot, and in desperation, Zhang Ping'an carried the girl to the infirmary.

Lin Li came to the backstage alone, pushed open the door, and his eyes fell directly on the face that Fang was on the stage and fascinated by.

He tidied up his clothes, walked in front of the girl very seriously, stretched out his hand like a gentleman, and said politely: "Hello girl, my name is Lin Li!" ”
