In the early morning after the rain, the air is exceptionally fresh.

Li Ji didn't sleep well all night.

Thinking back to yesterday's situation, my heart is even more disturbed; It seems that the drizzle is still falling.

When Li Ji returned to the dormitory from Liao Ying last night, it was almost eleven o'clock.

He was a little distracted, a little weak-hearted.

That call came from Han Mei.

Obviously, there was nothing between the two, but Li Ji still subconsciously avoided it, not wanting Liao Ying to hear it, and not wanting her to know.

After answering the phone, Li Ji went back upstairs.

At a glance, I saw Liao Ying standing by the door, looking a little dazed. In the dim light, there seemed to be shallow tears on her face.

Li Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly ran a few steps: "Yingying, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, it's not much," Liao Ying's body moved, as if she suddenly woke up, as if she had suddenly woken up, and reflexively, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes, and smiled reluctantly, "Have you finished calling?"

"Well," Li Ji pretended to say casually, but didn't dare to look at Liao Ying's eyes, "It's someone from the credit department in the bank, who told me about the loan......

"Oh......"

Liao Ying nodded slightly, her eyes a little empty.

Her lips moved a few times, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't speak again, dodged Li Ji into the room, and closed the door.

Outside, the sound of the rain was thinning.

Li Ji sat on a small wooden stool, and Liao Ying was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

The two looked at each other, smiling unnaturally, and they hurriedly looked away from each other's eyes.

Li Ji was a little embarrassed.

Since meeting Liao Ying, it feels awkward to be together for the first time. He had no choice but to find something to say, and asked Liao Ying about the job title.

Liao Ying gave him a blank look and repeated what she had said before. After that, he picked up a magazine at the head of the bed and flipped through it randomly.

Li Ji wanted to say something.

But after thinking about it, I still don't think there's anything to say.

yes, what can you say?

Didn't you just eat a Western meal with Han Mei, and came out to meet Tao Ping and Wang Shulan, and then Han Mei lost her temper and took a taxi by herself.

After that, it was Han Mei who called, and he went out to answer the phone.

After that, it's gone.

The only lie to Liao Ying was that Han Mei bought this shirt for him.

But what does a shirt mean?

It's just a little more expensive, what's the other thing?

Presumably, Han Mei didn't spend her own money, and it wasn't necessarily who sent the shopping card.

Li Ji searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and thought, his eyes were fixed, and he was stupid for a while.

Liao Ying looked at him with such a soulless appearance, like Jia Baoyu who had lost the Tongling Treasure, shook her head helplessly, and stopped talking.

The two sat in silence for a while.

Liao Ying finally sighed softly, put down the magazine, got up and picked up the basin, and went to the sink at the head of the corridor to wash her clothes.

Li Ji looked at Liao Ying's back and instinctively wanted to chase him out. But as soon as he stood up, he hesitated and sat down again.

Can't say why.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was so far away from Liao Ying all of a sudden. An indescribable feeling rippled through his chest, as if it was dividing them little by little.

Li Ji couldn't sit down anymore, he got up and picked up the handbag on the chair, walked out of the door, shouted at Liao Ying from behind, and went downstairs without looking back.

The night sky is boundless, and the drizzle is like nothing.

Looking back upstairs, Liao Ying was no longer visible. Only the tap water in the pipe, and the sound of some rapid flow into the basin was faintly heard.

Li Ji raised his head and stuck out his tongue.

A few large drops of rain fell, a little cool, a little sweet.

All night, listening to the sound of rain, Li Ji couldn't sleep for a long time.

I went to work early this morning, sitting in the office, my head was still groggy, my eyelids were sour, and I was yawning constantly.

What Han Mei said on the phone last night is still clearly remembered in her mind.

Unprecedentedly, Han Mei actually apologized to Li Ji first as soon as she came up; Admitting that you have a bad temper makes you petty.

Li Ji was surprised, and faintly felt flattered.

For a moment, his face was a little hot again.

Li Ji secretly called his name: Li Ji, what's wrong with you? Have you become so cheap?

He used to look down on such a man the most.

I only heard Han Mei say: "Senior brother, it's not that I deliberately gave you a look, it's that I'm really annoyed and don't know what to do?" ”

"What's bothering you?" Li Ji was puzzled, "It's a good thing that someone introduced you to a boyfriend, you should be happy." ”

"What do you know?" Han Mei seemed to be angry, "You are a pig, stupid pig!" ”

Li Ji was speechless.

How is he a pig?

Is there such a handsome pig?

Miss Han took the wrong medicine, or she was blind.

Han Mei was very unhappy when she heard that Li Ji didn't speak, and raised her voice: "You really don't understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" ”

Li Ji didn't know why, and he was confused.

This Miss Han was in a fog, and she really confused herself.

Han Mei heard that Li Ji still didn't answer, and she was a little angry: "Are you a pig brain?" ”

Li Ji was also a little angry, and couldn't help but reply: "You are the pig brain, tigress!" ”

"You, you...... How dare you call me a tigress! …… Woohoo......"

Han Mei was very aggrieved, as if she was crying.

Li Ji panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm just joking casually, are you serious?" ”

"I'll take it seriously, I'll take it seriously......"

"Then if you call me a stupid pig, can't I say you're a tigress?"

"That's it! It is! Han Mei said repeatedly, "Just let me scold you pig, you can't talk about me!" You can't! ”

Li Ji was convinced.

Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't say it. If you want to reason with a woman, it is equivalent to negotiating between the Qing government and foreigners.

This Miss Han, if she lived in the past, she would not be able to become Wu Zetian, at least she would be the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Why don't you speak? Dumb? Hearing that Li Ji was silent again, Han Mei couldn't help but ask.

"You, what are you asking me to say?" Li Ji couldn't cry or laugh.

"Oh, you're still not convinced to say that you are a pig," Han Mei suddenly laughed, "I think it's insulting to the pig...... Hahaha......"

Li Ji wanted to laugh, but he was a little angry, and he couldn't wait to hang up the phone immediately.

"You still don't understand, do you?" Han Mei was deflated, "Our unit and some friends know that I don't have a boyfriend yet, but my parents know that I have a boyfriend......"

When Li Ji heard this, he felt like he had been beaten suddenly, and he suddenly had a headache.

Here it is again, still pretending to be a boyfriend.

The ghost is not gone.

If it goes on like this, it will be a head.

He thought for a while and said bluntly: "Just tell your parents, my boyfriend is a fake, an imposter......"

"You're really a pig," it was Han Mei's turn helplessly, "what do you want me to tell them now?" ”

Li Ji secretly said in his heart, how can you say that it is your business, how do I know? But I can only think about this in my head, and I will never dare to say it.

"Alas, forget it," Han Mei was a little discouraged, "I found it myself, I can't blame you, and you are also kind enough to help......"

"Just find a chance to tell them, it's not a big deal."

But Li Ji faintly felt that Han Mei lost her temper, as if it was not as simple as she said.

He didn't want to think about it anymore.

Anyway, as long as Han Mei confesses to her parents, it will be good if she can't find herself in the future.

"If not, what else can be done?" Han Mei's faint sigh came from the earpiece, "Wait for me to see, and I'll tell them in a few days." ”

Li Ji remembered it again, and hurriedly said, "Han Mei, that shirt is too expensive, let's give it back to you." ”

"Give it back to me?" Han Mei was angry again and paused, "If you don't like it, just throw it away!" ”

"I don't like it," Li Ji hurriedly defended, "I just ...... I just think it's too expensive......"

"Don't worry, it's not my money that was spent," Han Mei smiled, "Don't be in vain, you just keep it." ”

Han Mei's mood suddenly improved, and Li Ji's heart was relieved.

"You should prepare for the exam well this time," only to hear Han Mei say again, "As long as you enter the interview, I will go and tell my father if he can help!" ”

"This, this ......"

Li Ji felt a little strange in his heart, and he held back for a while, but he still didn't say that sentence.

Speaking of which, I still have to find Han Mei's father.

This night, Li Ji has been tormented by this question.

Until dawn, getting up to work, and sitting in the office, he was still thinking about Han Mei's last words last night.

At the moment, in the quiet room, the sunlight is lazily pouring in.

Li Ji walked to the windowsill and looked at the blue sky after the rain.

The breeze was light, slightly wet, like a pair of cool little hands, gently caressing.

Outside the window, a tall poplar tree with swaying branches and leaves. Where the wind passed, there were still water droplets accumulated by the rain last night, which fell down with a "tick" sound.

Li Ji suddenly felt very sorry for Liao Ying. Although nothing else happened, I subconsciously wanted to carry her.

Wouldn't it be that if Han Mei's father didn't leave CCB, he would have no hope?

Li Ji turned around and paced back and forth in the office.

Thirteen steps from the door to the window, and thirteen steps from the window to the door.

The wind is whispering.

The sun is good, like the golden yellow that fell on the wheat pile when I was a teenager, distant and kind.

The past, as in front of us, came back to me in this moment.

Li Ji was a little in a trance and a little moved.

The red dust disturbs, like water flowing for years.

People will always grow up and always enter society.

With the passage of time and the growth of years, I am gradually confined to a certain space and a certain location in a certain capacity.

Time silently changes a person, but a person cannot change time.

Could it be that the dreams that once soared, those ambitions that roared into the sky, have become the reluctance to keep a job in front of them? !

In time, tug-of-war with eternity; Between the swings, it is fate.

The sun faded.

Li Ji's shadow is reflected on the wall, like a black and white cut-out painting.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it was a long time, maybe it was just a moment, and Li Ji finally stopped

He took his phone and looked at it silently for a moment.

One number, one number, press slowly and clearly.

The phone went through.

Without waiting for Han Mei to speak, Li Ji paused word by word and said very clearly:

"Han Mei, I decided not to go to the rural credit cooperative......"
