31. Escape from the North City
After seeing these people shut up, Xia Xia turned around and gave the officer a smile: "I'm sorry, you continue." ”
The police officer twitched the corners of his lips helplessly: "That's pretty much it, you can take him away after paying the bail and compensation, you must discipline him more, the behavior is too bad." ”
Summer got up from her chair, bowed and apologized to the few policemen next to her, and then went over to pay the money.
By the time she finished swiping the card, Xia Jie had already been released from the small room with iron railings, and he was standing a little cramped on the edge of the summer, and the fighting wounds on his face couldn't hide his beautiful face.
After all, their family is all good-looking.
"Get out." She didn't raise her eyes, stuffed the card into her bag, and Xia Jie dropped a sentence of "Thank you, sister", and ran out of the police station with a smoke.
When she was 5 years old in the summer, Hu Xin and Xia Liming gave birth to Xia Jie, and she will always remember that day, when the two of them were happy because their second child was a son.
At the beginning of the summer, she was also full of expectations and love for her younger brother, although she could not receive as much attention as Xia Jie from her parents, but she could also have a warm place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Xia Jie was used to growing up since he was a child, and Hu Xin doted on him in every way, and forced Xia Xia to indulge him infinitely.
In the summer, you can never eat chicken thighs on the table, you can't eat ice cream in the summer, and you can't decide which channel to put on the only TV set in the house.
Until one day, when she was in the fourth or fifth grade, Xia Liming and Hu Xin had a big quarrel at home, went out with a suitcase, and never came back.
Xia has always felt that Xia Liming's name has been very ironic, Liming, which should represent vitality and hope, but this person has trapped Hu Xin forever in the dark and dilapidated alley of Beicheng.
As for why she didn't feel trapped, it was because she never believed in destiny.
Every page of her scratch paper densely filled with calculation formulas, and every night she hides under the covers and stuffs headphones to practice English listening are the best proof of this.
The days go by, the longer the summer gets, the more beautiful it becomes, and Hu Xin's vicious words become more and more.
"You're just like the vixens out there who hooked up with your dad!" Her speech was hard to hear, sharp and piercing, and it left a lot of scars in the summer heart.
But Hu Xin forgot that she looked most like her in summer. Especially those peach blossom eyes, when they are full of affection, they are moving.
studied desperately in the summer, every time she was scolded by Hu Xin and bullied by Xia Jie, she would make an extra volume.
Skipping one level in junior high school, skipping one level in high school, she is a well-known three-good student in the alley in Beicheng in summer, Hu Xin is proud of her outside, but when she goes home, she will only sneer: "Finish your studies early and go to work to send living expenses to your family." ”
I heard that I was silent in the summer, but I had long fantasized about how free I should be when I flew out of this alley and went to the capital to study.
On the morning when she received the admission letter from Beiqing University, the weather was very sunny, she trembled and clenched the documents in her hand, and had the urge to cry with sour eyes, but in the end, not a single tear fell.
She has stepped into the light, and every day from now on, she will not let herself have a chance to cry again.
And her younger brother has long been spoiled by Hu Xin, he didn't pass high school, and after a few years in the vocational school in Beicheng, he went out with his so-called buddies to explore the rivers and lakes.
After graduating from the Beiqing Dynasty in the summer, she went to the United States to study for a master's degree without telling Hu Xin at the beginning, she saved some money by working and interning in college, and with a generous scholarship from UXL, she went to Atlanta as soon as she slipped away.
Later, it was still Beicheng Alley to be demolished, and Hu Xin called her to find out that she was in the United States, so angry that Hu Xin scolded her on the phone for 5 minutes.
Finally, with a quiet sentence in summer: "This is an international roaming, you call me, you pay the phone bill." And the end.
Thinking about it after so many years, it still doesn't seem to have changed much, except that she didn't have the money to wipe Xia Jie's ass from the beginning, and now she can wipe Xia Jie's ass casually when she has money.
When she came home from work in the evening, she found a very large package on the shelf at the door of her house, and she carried it into the house, thinking for a long time and not remembering what she had recently purchased online.
When I opened the box, I saw it...... Ten albums of ZenithZ that I bought by myself have arrived.
She washed her hands and dismantled all the albums, but in the 10 copies, she didn't find a small card of Ling Ziyin.
Summer collapsed speechlessly on the sofa, looking at the messy album on the coffee table, and felt depressed.
It must have been so unlucky to see Xia Jie today, I knew that it would be demolished tomorrow.
She picked up the remote control on the sofa and turned on the TV, found a random program to put on, and finally there was some noise in the deserted house.
She approved the final draft of Flyer's campaign for the next season tonight, and ZenithZ, who has just released an album, has become Flyer's new ambassador group.
Their fan business ability is okay, although the popularity is not high, but it is completely in line with the brand image.
Thinking about it, she took out her laptop from the bedroom again, read the data analysis report of the last half month on the sofa for a while, annotated the important parts and sent them back to her subordinates.
also followed a sentence [Just look at it when you go to work tomorrow]
After all, when she was in that position, she hated the leader for throwing a document during off-duty hours.
What is being broadcast on TV is a singing variety show, a little diva of love songs is singing on stage, the audience is crying to tears, and the volume is slightly raised by two blocks in summer, leaning on the sofa to enjoy.
After a while, Ling Ziyin called her a video.
Raising her eyebrows in the summer, she used to send a message to ask her if she had any inconvenient videos, but now that it's okay, she dares to call directly.
She turned down the sound of the TV and connected to the video, and Ling Ziyin's face immediately appeared on the screen.
"Good evening." Ling Ziyin was wearing a black mask, and his golden differential broken bangs slightly covered his eyebrows, and the sun was shining in the camera, and the weather in Atlanta today seemed to be really good.
"Good evening." While greeting him, Xia Xia suddenly felt that Ling Ziyin's background was very familiar, until he flipped the camera over, and the iconic palace wind fountain at the gate of UXL appeared in the picture.
"I came to the school, and I thought I'd give you a video to see what UXL has become now." Ling Ziyin's voice was sometimes mixed with the whirring wind.
The benches on both sides are still in disrepair, which UXL says is a symbol of the school's ancient history, and the lawn is green and lush in summer, unlike in autumn and winter, when you don't feel soft when you step on it in summer.
UXL students walked past Ling Ziyin in groups of twos, holding books, drinks, and computers in their arms, and chatting happily, recalling her time at this school five years ago.
Although she is not a person who likes to make friends in the summer, she gets along well with her classmates, and occasionally when she does not arrange free time for part-time work, she will buy a cup of coffee with a Chinese girl and sit in the shade of a tree to write a paper.
More than a year ago, she went back to UXL to give lectures to the younger students of the business school, but at that time, the schedule was tight, and she didn't take a good look around the campus again, so Ling Ziyin put the summer in her mobile phone and took her around the school roughly.
On the way, Summer got up and went to find a bottle of water to drink, just with her back to the coffee table in the living room, Ling Ziyin kept putting the picture of summer on the big screen, and suddenly found that she had several ZenithZ albums on her desk.
He pretended not to see it, but somewhere in his heart it was as soft as a cloud.
*
A few days later, ZenithZ went to shoot the promotional picture of Flyer's spokesperson, and after having dinner with Meng Coaoda at noon in the summer, he took Xiaoqian to the studio in the afternoon without anything to do.
Xiao Qian ordered drinks and afternoon tea for everyone on the scene in advance, and the staff of the studio and SL on the scene, as well as the assistants on ZenithZ's side, all thanked the summer.
Li Yue came to chat with Xia Xia with a cup of black tea latte, and the two leaned against the pillar on the side, and their eyes all fell on the few figures in the green cloth front light.
I have to say that the five members of ZenithZ are all good-looking and have different styles, but they are not inconsistent when taking team photos.
Captain He Yan is wearing a contrasting baseball jacket co-branded by Flyer designers, his expression management is outstanding, and he is worthy of being a person who has been in the entertainment industry, and he knows what angle his face looks the best.
Su Wenqing is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent, with deep eye sockets and blue pupils, and the overall contour lines of his face are very tough. He wore a plain white sweater jacket, revealing a neatly ironed colored shirt inside, adding a touch of playfulness to the gentlemanly style.
Duan Jiashen is wearing a thin sweatshirt, with a large piece of obedient doll graffiti on the chest, the two sleeves are broken off and connected with paper clips, and when you want to wear short sleeves, the lower half of the sleeves can be removed and pinned on the shoulders, which is another style. When he laughs, he shows two tiger teeth, and the earrings are full of earrings to match his versatile photo poses, which highlights the playability of this hoodie.
Chang Ye's outfit is relatively simple, probably to match his silent character, wearing a gray-black gradient patchwork T-shirt, without too much decoration, only a slender silver chain hanging around his neck.
Of course, Ling Ziyin is the one who sees it the most in summer.
He'd never seen him wear it like this in the summer today, probably because he dyed his hair lightly, and he was given a dopamine color. The outfit was a pink T-shirt with a transparent poncho jacket, and underneath it was a pair of bright yellow sweatpants and a pair of white scrawlers with colorful graffiti. His hair was picked up in a few tufts and sprayed blue with disposable hair dye spray, and he was wearing a headset around his neck, and the whole person looked like a skittlecandy.
After taking a group of group photos, they scattered to take a break, Duan Jiashen saw Xia Xia and Li Yue before Ling Ziyin, and trotted over to greet them ghostly.
Ling Ziyin was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiaxia, and when she looked at her, she unconsciously curled the corners of her lips, and followed Duan Jiashen and walked over.
"Huh? Summer sister, we are wearing the same style, the new one from Geline! Duan Jiashen pointed to the half-winged butterfly stud earrings on his earlobes as if he had discovered a new world.
When the others heard this, they all curiously put their eyes on Xia Xia and Duan Jiashen's ears, and Li Yue looked at them on the side and agreed: "It's true." ”
Summer nodded, and her fingers touched the butterfly wings on her ears: "It seems that we all have a good eye." ”
Ling Ziyin stood behind and picked up a cup of Xiao Qianding's fruit tea and took a sip, before he could recover from the urge to drag Duan Jiashen behind and forbid him to talk to Xiaxia, he immediately heard Xia's voice sound:
"By the way, Jia Shen, can I ask you for an autograph?"
