Chen Xifan curled his lips: "Well, all the bad things are pushed to me, and I will carry it for you." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Qi Xia always felt that this was a bit ambiguous, she lowered her eyes, a little overwhelmed, and finally could only change the topic awkwardly: "Can we arrive before midnight?" ”

Chen Xifan glanced at the time, "I'll try my best." ”

As he spoke, the speed of the car increased a little.

It was a long road, and Qi Xia noticed that they had left the Fifth Ring Road and were heading to an unknown destination. She didn't bother to care, leaning back in her chair and unconsciously closing her eyes.

I slept comfortably, and when I woke up, the lights around me were blinding. Qi Xia rubbed his eyes, came to his senses and asked where this is.

"It's almost there." Chen Xifan replied.

Immediately afterwards, the car turned, and a huge amusement park appeared in front of it. It was as if the amusement park had been waiting for them to arrive, and it was full of twinkling lights that dazzled the eyes.

"This is ......" Qi Xia observed for a while and recognized: "This is the Northern Suburbs Amusement Park?" ”

"Yes."

Qi Xia was even more strange, "I heard that this amusement park was built last year, but it has never opened, why are we here?" ”

The obvious answer, of course, is to watch the fireworks.

Private fireworks are not allowed in Beijing, but some special units and enterprises are qualified, and the location of the amusement park in the northern suburbs is remote, and it has long been out of Beijing and is not within the scope of fireworks control.

After getting out of the car, Qi Xia followed Chen Xifan to the entrance of the amusement park, and immediately a staff member surrounded them and took them in.

Walking through the empty amusement park, Qi Xia feels that she has accidentally entered Alice's dream. Carousels, Ferris wheels, and roller coasters, all of which are open for business.

The staff asked, "Do you just want to watch the fireworks display?" You can also play other projects if you want to. ”

Chen Xifan looked at Qi Xia and motioned to the staff: "Ask her." ”

Qi Xia was in a trance and said, "It's good to watch the fireworks show." ”

"Okay."

Bringing them to an open space in front of a castle, the staff said, "Wait a minute, two of you." ”

I didn't wait too long, the lights around dimmed, only a few sounds were heard, and suddenly, a beam of golden light pierced the night sky, and the sky was full of fire trees and silver flowers, scattered one after another, and then there was a second bunch, a third bunch...... A steady stream of amusement parks is illuminated as bright as day.

Qi Xia's heart shook violently, as if it was also accompanied by the fireworks, rising high and falling heavily, which was the familiar heartbeat rhythm of the girlhood.

She turned her head and saw Chen Xifan looking at the sky in a daze, and the firelight reflected his side face beautifully.

Tonight's amusement park is only open for them, and no one will bother.

"Chen Xifan—" Qi Xia called him.

Hearing this, Chen Xifan lowered his head, feeling that his heart was full and that something was about to overflow.

The fireworks exploded overhead, bloomed, and fell, and the corners of their clothes were entangled in the night breeze with a soft crunch.

Qi Xia looked at him, "Do you have any New Year's resolutions?" ”

"I can't think of it for a while."

"Then I'll promise it for you."

Qi Xia's eyebrows bent, and he just smiled gently: "I hope you don't be afraid of Chinese New Year's Eve in the future." ”

His voice was a little harsh, and he agreed: "Okay." ”

"Your mother left on Chinese New Year's Eve, but she is in another place, and she must also care about whether you have a good meal on Chinese New Year's Eve, whether you have a good New Year's Eve, and whether you have someone to accompany you."

"On Chinese New Year's Eve in the future, don't fly alone in the sky, guard the dark night sky, and don't hide and refuse all the excitement. You can go to Grandma Chen, or He Xiao, or ...... You can come to me. ”

When she was young, she hoped that he would have the bluest sea, the widest sky, and at the age of twenty-five, she hoped that the person in front of her would have a peaceful and happy life every year.

"Lacquer Summer ......"

He rolled his throat and wanted to ask her how she knew this, but he didn't feel the need to ask. As long as you have the heart, those things are not difficult to hear.

It was as if a valley that had been sealed for too long had split a gap, and a wind poured in.

He finally understood what had been the source of his anxiety and restlessness all along.

The questions that bothered him seemed to have found answers.

At this moment, he wanted to hug her.

Chapter 41

The fireworks show lasted for an hour, and the last fireworks, in the shape of an umbrella, flew into the night sky and spread out rapidly, then blew down to the ground, and countless fires went from shining to darkening, in just a moment.

After the grand show, the sound of the wind and fireworks suddenly disappeared, and the amusement park was silent, and the air was filled with white smoke.

A little stunned in his heart, Qi Xia turned around and met Chen Xifan's gaze.

"Are you going back?"

always felt that the time spent with her was too short and too fast, Chen Xifan asked, "Do you want to play other projects?" ”

Qi Xia shook his head, "I don't want to, I'm a little tired."

"Okay, then go back."

At this time, it is past midnight, and 2022 has arrived. The way back was very far, got in the car, and Qi Xia received Qi Yuan's WeChat.

Qi Yuan: [Sister, where have you been? There is no one in the family . 】

Qi Yuan: [People are afraid of woo woo woo]

Qi Xia was inexplicably weak-hearted, and replied: [Something at work, go to the company, I'll be back later.] 】

On the way back, there were still no vehicles on the highway, so Qi Xia opened the map and looked at it and found that it was still more than 200 kilometers away from Beijing.

Thinking that Chen Xifan had not rested, Qi Xia proposed: "If the next toll booth is suspended, I will open it, and you can sleep." ”

"No, I don't." Chen Xifan's joking tone, "Reporter Qi, I have good skills, and I will definitely send you home safely." ”

"Okay."

Qi Xia didn't say anything polite to him, but at this time, her mobile phone buzzed, and it was Zheng Xinyan who replied to her message two days ago.

Zheng Xinyan: [Sun Fu handed over Yang Fu's interview to you? 】

Qi Xia replied with a nodding emoji, [Well, I don't know much about Yang Fu, I want to ask you some interview details, when do you see when you have time, let's meet and hand over the work. 】

Zheng Xinyan said angrily: "I'm playing abroad, so I'm not free. 】

Qi Xia: [Don't worry, you can do it later.] 】

Zheng Xinyan: [I left after a year. 】

Qi Xia: [What about online communication? 】

Listening to Zheng Xinyan's tone, it was completely an attitude of refusing to communicate, and she didn't reply for a long time.

Seeing Qi Xia staring at his phone, Chen Xifan asked, "Is there anything urgent?" ”

"It's not a rush." Qi Xia was a little tired, and said in a casual tone, "There is a colleague who is leaving, she has a very important interview in her hand, and the work handover is not going well. ”

Things in the workplace are very complicated, and Qi Xia has been used to it in the past few years. In the first year of graduation, I carried the black pot for the leader, wiped the butt of the colleagues who left, I have experienced everything, Qi Xia's ability to bear it is okay, it is the New Year, and everyone will have resentment if the good mood is destroyed.

Chen Xifan's patience was surprisingly good, "If something doesn't go well, let's hear about it." ”

The journey back was still very long, and there was just a topic to talk about, so Qi Xia continued: "Do you know Yang Fu? ”

"I know that the youngest Turing Award winner in China, he seems to be studying computer cryptography and computational number theory, and he did very well in mathematics in middle school, and he never accepts any media interviews."

Qi Xia sighed: "It's him." ”

"There was an interview with him in the magazine, and my colleague was following her before, but now she is leaving, and I don't know the details of some of the interviews, and I can't find any information on the market, which is very annoying."

Chen Xifan thought thoughtfully: "In this case, I'll help you find someone to inquire." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Xia was stunned, she just said that those were completely spit nature, and explained: "Don't bother you, this ...... I'll just ask my colleagues again. ”

"Qi Xia-" Chen Xifan glanced at her and smiled, "You seem to be a little too polite to me." ”

"Is there one?"

Chen Xifan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "No?" ”

Well, there is indeed a point, the main thing is that she doesn't want to trouble Chen Xifan, and she is very worried about causing him unnecessary trouble.

"Qi Xia, what is our relationship?"

This question directly stunned Qi Xia, and she replied in a daze: "High school classmates? ”

"Just a high school classmate?" Chen Xifan was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "Aren't you friends?" ”

Qi Xia was stunned, she couldn't sit still, her fingers clutched the seat belt tightly, she didn't dare to look at Chen Xifan's eyes at all, and hummed: "Count, let's count...... Friend. ”

Chen Xifan nodded at this time, hooked his lips and smiled lightly, "Well, don't be so polite between friends." ”

This had to be put in the past, Qi Xia couldn't imagine that one day she and Chen Xifan would become friends.

When he arrived at the Banchunli community, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and Qi Xia yawned a long time, "Thank you for the fireworks tonight, and you can go back and rest quickly." ”

"Wait, wait." Chen Xifan suddenly spoke.

Qi Xia turned his head, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I'll send you upstairs, just to breathe."

Perhaps, I just want to delay a little longer, and spend time with her.

Qi Xia nodded: "Okay." ”

In winter, the night is long, and it will be dark all around, and occasionally I will meet a few aunts who are exercising in the morning.

When he went upstairs, Chen Xifan said: "Xu Youfei will return to China tomorrow, are you free?" Let's pick her up at the airport together. ”

"Ah, tomorrow?" Qi Xia remembered that Xu Youfei did say that she would return to China for the Chinese New Year, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost a year." ”

"Well, I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

So soon, we can meet again.
