"Okay."

The office was almost gone, and Qi Xia turned his head after finishing his work, and the screen of the old mobile phone was lit up, reminding him of the end of charging.

Qi Xia unplugged the data cable, turned on the phone, and waited for a few seconds, and the familiar desktop jumped out.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the raindrops were hitting the glass windows, thumping. In the empty office, Qi Xia's breathing was slightly condensed, clicked on Q/Q, and logged in to the account of "Classmate No. 7".

It didn't work for seven years, and the phone was a little stuck at the beginning, and after waiting, the Q/Q chat interface appeared.

Her cat avatar lit up again, and the gray state that had been in a state turned green, with two small words hanging underneath: "Online. 】

The official system message: [Welcome back to the seventh student, it has been 2556 days since you were last online. 】

2556 days, that's really too long.

Soon, more news followed.

There are aviation geek groups, and there are also subscription accounts that the system pays attention to by default, a large number of messages poured in one after another, and the mobile phone shell was hot, and it couldn't be moved for a while.

After a while, the message was received, and the screen was full of red unread reminders.

Qi Xia ignored it, pulled it down directly, and the next second, she was stunned in place.

Looking at the avatar column of the ephemeris, there is a bright red "99+" prompt, what does this mean?

In the past seven years, Chen Xifan has sent her messages.

The heartbeat missed half a beat, Qi Xia clicked on the avatar of the ephemeris to see, swiped the screen, and pulled to the first unread message.

……

[July 7, 2015: Student No. 7, accidentally flipped through the airline geek group chat message, and learned that today is your birthday, happy birthday. 】

[July 9, 2015: Student No. 7, I have been seeing a psychiatrist, and now I am not so afraid of heights, thank you. 】

[August 12, 2015: Student No. 7, I signed up for a major pilot change and prepared to become a pilot again. 】

[February 14, 2016: Student No. 7, today I drove 160 kilometers to Eastbourne and stood on the white cliff to photograph the sunset. 】

[Maybe you've been busy lately and don't have time to reply to my messages.] Good night, and I hope the sunset on White Cliff will dry your mind, and all the good things will come tomorrow as scheduled. 】

[March 1, 2016: Student No. 7, it's very strange, standing on the white cliff today, I remembered a high school classmate. Her name is Qi Xia, she can tell bad jokes, she has a cat that looks exactly like your head, and she is a very beautiful and warm girl. 】

[Perhaps, are you her?] I hope so. 】

[August 9, 2018: Student No. 7, flew to the UK today, revisited the old place to watch the sunset at Eastbourne White Cliffs, and once again remembered Qi Xia. To me, she seemed very special. 】

[December 9, 2018: Student No. 7, I dreamed of Qi Xia last night, she was standing under the plane tree at the mouth of Baita Lane, crying all the time, and wanted to ask her what was wrong, but the alarm clock woke me up, so there was no follow-up. 】

……

[September 16, 2020: Student No. 7, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay? I hope that after every busy day, there will be a beautiful sunset as your reward. 】

[August 6, 2021: Student No. 7, I met my high school classmate Qi Xia again today, and I was inexplicably attracted to her and couldn't take my eyes off her. 】

[January 27, 2022: Student No. 7, I'm probably crazy, why do you think you and Qi Xia are the same person. 】

[February 14, 2022: Is it you?] Lacquer Summer. 】

In the past seven years, the stars have sent her more than 1,000 messages, and the time interval is so long that some conversations have to make Qi Xia pause and recall the course of her life at that time.

He remembered her, and even thought of her countless times in the past.

The wind poured in through the window, disturbing the hallway, and as it passed through the body, it brought a heart-rending pain.

For the first time in his life, Qi Xia hated his timidity.

She shouldn't have wavered because Song Qingyue wanted to give him her pocket watch herself, nor should she say goodbye without saying goodbye, so that all the news went down in the air.

In seven years, she mustered up the courage to land on the trumpet once, and she would never miss it for so long.

Her crush has always reverberate, but she doesn't know it.

It's a rainy April, and the sky is gray, but spring is far away, and summer is coming.

Qi Xia spent half an hour reading the unread message, and then went back and read it again, her eyes were red, and she couldn't control her tears.

The phone rang, Qi Xia held the phone, and quickly connected.

"Hey-" Without waiting for the other party to speak, she asked eagerly, "Chen Xifan, where are you?" ”

"Just got downstairs, is it convenient? I'll pick you up upstairs. ”

Qi Xia's voice trembled a little, "No need, you wait for me in the car, I'll get down immediately." ”

"Okay."

Qi Xia's voice was hoarse, "You...... You must wait for me. ”

Chen Xifan's voice paused, and he said seriously: "Well, I'll wait for you, as long as I want." ”

Hanging up the phone, Qi Xia stuffed things into his bag, picked them up and left. On the way, I met a few colleagues who were working overtime, and she rarely did not say hello.

This would be the rush hour, and the elevator numbers would change layer by layer, slow and anxious, until finally stopped on the twenty-ninth floor, motionless.

Qi Xia kept looking at her phone, she couldn't wait for a minute, she happened to be wearing a pair of flat white shoes today, she turned around and ran to the stairwell.

Because he didn't have the patience to wait for the elevator, there were many people who chose to take the stairs, and Qi Xia quickly descended the steps with the railing, layer after layer......

Someone she knew joked to her: "Qi Xia, why are you in such a hurry to get off work?" ”

"Someone is waiting for me."

"Who?"

"Boyfriend."

There was a "huh" cry in the stairwell, and colleagues laughed.

Seven or eight minutes later, when she arrived on the first floor, Qi Xia gasped, came out of the fire escape, and just walked to the hall on the first floor, she saw that person waiting for her.

Chen Xifan wore a beige trench coat with a blue striped shirt underneath, and his figure was slender and slender, and no matter who it was, it was him who almost first noticed it.

Holding a bouquet of Cynthia roses in his hand, he stood in the center of the bright hall, the crystal chandelier hanging from the top of his head, and the whole person seemed to glow.

Seeing Qi Xia, Chen Xifan tilted his head slightly, hooked his lips and smiled, and strode towards her.

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry to see me?" Chen Xifan handed her the flowers, "Tired of running......

Qi Xia pulled him to the side, a slightly quieter place, "Chen Xifan, why don't you tell me, you have been sending me messages on q/q all these years." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xifan was slightly stunned, "Did you see it?" ”

"Well, I only saw it when I logged in today."

Chen Xifan smiled lightly, he didn't know how to explain. At first, when he received the courier, he just wanted to thank her, but Student No. 7 never replied, which only increased his curiosity.

Later, she would simply treat it as a tree hole and send it to her whatever she could think of.

Many times, Chen Xifan didn't know whether he was talking to classmate No. 7 or Qi Xia, even though they were originally the same person.

Maybe it doesn't matter who you talk to, it's just that those youthful feelings need a carrier.

Chen Xifan didn't ask her why she disappeared, nor did he dwell on what she missed, but just touched her head, "Okay, that's nothing, it's not what you said, it's all over." ”

"I'm chasing you now, be serious." He said about today's arrangement, "Let's go eat Japanese food first, and then watch a movie?" ”

Qi Xia breathed heavily: "You have already chased me." ”

"What?"

Qi Xia grabbed his hand and said, "You have already chased me, don't be so troublesome." ”

Chen Xifan was stunned, "It's not troublesome, I like to chase you, I'm willing to chase you, what about you, you can promise me later." How others chase the girl they like, I can do better than them, you don't have to envy anyone. ”

"No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you."

Qi Xia's tears fell big and big, she didn't want to care so much, and she didn't want to be in the future.

Her vision was blurred, Chen Xifan reached out to help her wipe her tears, and her voice was gentle, "Why did you make you cry again?" ”

Qi Xia shook his head.

She thought that in his enthusiastic life, she had no place for herself, just a passer-by with no name.

She thought that life should be a non-stop encounter and farewell, and Chen Xifan told her with practical actions that it could be a lost and regained and her wish fulfilled.

The world is far away, the world is big, and their trajectories finally coincide.

Going round and round, he arrived from the wind and rain.

Qi Xia grabbed his hand, instinctively pounced, buried his head in his chest, his emotions were turbulent, and he kept whimpering: "I...... I don't want to wait any longer, and I can't bear to let you wait any longer. ”

Indeed, they have been delayed for too long.

Every moment when you can't hug each other is a waste.

Chen Xifan lowered his eyes to look at her, and the moment she threw herself into her arms, her heart, which had been empty for a long time, was finally filled.

His hand landed on her ear, his voice hoarse, and his eyes burned hot, "Then together." ”

"Hmm." Qi Xia nodded heavily.

All the sounds around me were gone, and my heart was tense and aching.

The long search urged them to do something to soothe their two weary souls.

Qi Xia's eyes were still red, and her eyelashes were stained with tears, wet and sparkling. She stared at him in silence, and Chen Xifan did not disappoint her.
