14 years time difference

Chapter 103 24-1

Xu took off his coat after drinking on the winter solstice night and caught the cold. Lin Zhique suffered a serious illness in 2019.

Repeated high fever, went back to work after taking medicine, fainted in the meeting room, and was finally sent to the hospital, woke up, the bottle was ticking, the back of the hand was slightly sore, she was cold all over, looking at the fluorescent lamp in the hospital, it was strange that this was so obvious It is the autumn of 2019, where did the cold wind of the winter night of 2008 come from.

It took half a month to feel better. She quit the single apartment she rented in Jincheng and moved to Meixi South Road.

Everything went on as usual, she went to work, worked overtime, had two cups of coffee in the morning and afternoon, and made a killing at the meeting. After 09:30 at night, she took out the key and opened the door, and returned to the empty house.

The old neighbor couple treated her well.On the night she came back from 2008, when she opened the door, a beam of flashlight shone on her face. It was the second elder who heard the noise in the empty house and called the security guard.Knowing that she is the granddaughter of Du's family, she often comes and walks around, giving her all the delicious food. She is not good at dealing with warm-hearted old people, so she thought, it would be great if Du Si was here.

The two old people have moved here for seven or eight years and have never met anyone from Dusi. When chatting, they would say that Lao Du used to say how well-behaved his daughter was, thinking it was bragging. Good genes.She replied, she doesn't look like me.The old man asked, oh?Then she is not good-looking?

nice.Very nice.

From 2005 to 2008, she only lived in this house for three months. In the autumn and winter of 2019, she officially became close friends with this house.The vegetable market by the Meixi Bridge is still there, it has been reorganized, the blind stick is nowhere to be found, and the early stall selling soy milk and fried dough sticks is still open. Wherever the pen of fate falls, life will continue.

She bought cheap silk stockings at a nearby unnamed clothing store for emergencies. There was also a hardware store on the same street. She bought light bulbs and changed them at home. People often sold fried chestnuts in sugar at the gate of the community. She bought them a few times and bought too much. Can't finish it all.

She imagined the Dusi people wrapped in thick scarves to buy chestnuts.It must have bright eyes, smiled and said thank you boss, then covered a large bag of chestnuts in his arms, ran upstairs like a rabbit, and said guess what I bought like a treasure.

She imagined that one day, the Dusi people would just open the door and appear in front of her.

After dinner, they would go downstairs for a walk together, past the clothing store, the hardware store, and the Meixi Bridge.Just go through the day after day.

It's strange that she can fantasize about eternity.

The male executive who was airborne from the next department threatened to chase her, saying that you are almost 28 and don't consider marriage and childbearing?She teased her eyes, and answered in a fluttering manner, what are you thinking about?I have a girlfriend.

During the few months in Jincheng, besides her colleagues, the people she saw most often were Xu Wenjing and Lu Xiaohua. They wanted to make friends with her, and they often invited her to eat and drink.These two people quarreled as soon as they met. Seeing them, she kept thinking of many pictures of youth, but fortunately, they didn't look old compared to the pictures.It's not that we don't see growth, it's just that we don't see "oldness".

Once, Lu Xiaohua brought a very old Samsung mp3 player.

"Listen and see."

Lin Zhique put the earphones into his ears.

Recording 33.At the beginning, there was a lot of noise, someone was singing "The Roof", like in a KTV.Then the voice became quieter and became the background sound, and the person who recorded it walked away a little.

"Hello, hello? Test, test, recording test." It was Dusi's voice, "Hello, listeners, today is April 2005, 4, and our background music is sung by Comrade Laohua. "The Roof". Our friends here are..." Then there was a lot of rambling, "...Please note that the following words are not an April Fool's joke," she cleared her throat coughing, and then her voice changed A little younger, "—I will graduate soon. I hope that I will be good friends with Lu Xiaohua for a lifetime. The sky is the witness, the sun and the moon are the mirror, until the end of life."

She takes off her earphones.

"A few years ago, I dug this out of the drawer, only to find that there were so many words behind this recording. That day I cried so much that my eyes were almost blind. Until the end of my life." Lu Xiaohua said, "She is fine, It's all over in one fell swoop. See if she's annoying."

Xu Wenjing took the earphones, "Listen to me too...April 4? Where is this? Am I not here?"

"You're not here, you and Zhao Qian went back to Yu'an."

Lin Zhique remembered that day. "What about you? Didn't you go together?"

Lu Xiaohua was a little confused about this question, "...Speaking of which, I really wanted to go at that time. I asked the Lasi people at the station to ask, but it turned out that there was no bus until evening, so I was too lazy to wait, so we went to sing K. "

"Why do you want to go to my hometown?"

"What do you think? Teacher Xu. Could it be for you? By the way, is Zhao Qian married?"

"No. What are you doing? Want to continue the relationship?"

Lu Xiaohua rolled her eyes and pretended to be imagining, "It seems to be good. Why don't you push his WeChat to me."

"Are you serious? I won't follow others this time."

"Why don't you follow? If you don't follow me, you have to follow him, right?"

"No, just pack up and disappear from my life together."

Lin Zhique took a sip of his coffee and leaned aside to listen to their bickering.This world has never had an April Fool's Day trip to Yu'an, so it can be concluded that the figure that appeared on the street in front of Ririxin Supermarket in the middle of the night in 2005 came all the way for her.

"You are so ruthless! If we miss people, she will follow me in ten marriages!" Lu Xiaohua sighed heavily, pursed her mouth, as if she was about to cry, "I miss us Du Si people so much."

"You're just bullying Du Siren." Xu Wenjing pulled a few tissues and stuffed them into Lu Xiaohua's hands, "I warn you, don't cry, you don't feel ashamed when you are old."

Lu Xiaohua began to perform to wipe away her tears.Actually, there were no tears.The old friend passed away for several years, and I found the common memories with her and the sincere vows that I almost missed in the old things when I was young. After crying to the heart, I always mention it with a smile.

Lin Zhique said: "There are parallel time and space in this world. She is still alive in another time and space. Live well."

"Really? Then can she give it to me across time and space?"

Xu Wenjing glared at Lu Xiaohua, and said seriously, "I believe. I believe in parallel time and space."

At the end of 2019, after Christmas, Lin Zhique unexpectedly received a call from Du Zhian.

Du Zhian plans to go to Singapore to work for a period of time, the visa has been completed, and he will leave in the next few days.

"I have an aunt over there, who is my mother's cousin... Forget it, why tell you so much. Anyway, I'll take a step first. If something happens to Dad..."

"Then let him make troubles."

Du Zhian smiled on the other end of the phone, "How are you doing in Jincheng? I like Jincheng."

"You like it but I don't see you. I hang up when I have nothing to do. I'm busy." Lin Zhique held the phone in one hand and typed with the other.At this time, it was completely dark, and she was working overtime as usual.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Ok?"

"Suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't said to you for so many years."

"What? What? You want to confess to me, say sorry to me?"

"No. You listen—"

Lin Zhique stopped what he was doing.

On the other end of the phone, Du Zhian seemed to put his mouth close to the microphone, and lowered his voice and said:

"—Sister loves you."

Lin Zhique hung up the phone.

Neuropathy.

Two days before the new year, Du Zhian set off from East China for Singapore.Tang Li also went together.

In the past six months after escaping from marriage, the relationship with her fiancé's family was awkward, and she finally cut off contact with her fiancé after several attempts. However, the studio was a joint venture with her fiancé, so she simply shut down and made up her mind to change to a new environment.

Xu Xinan came back from Shenzhen and made a special trip to the airport to see him off.

In the past six months, Zhi'an has been to Guangdong several times. He and Xi Nan went to see the sea in Shenzhen, went shopping in Hong Kong, and went to Macau to watch the show of The House of Dancing Water.

"Really not coming back for three or five years?" They were drinking coffee at the airport.Tang Li passed the security check first and went to the VIP room to rest, so as not to hinder the young man from talking.

Zhi'an replied: "I think so? Half a year and a year are too short to talk about life experience."

"Where's your mother? Do you live there with you for a long time?"

"Her visa is for visiting relatives, which is not that long. If she is not used to living here, she can come back anytime she wants."

Xu Xinan's glass was empty, and there was a whole glass of ice cubes rattling. She always drank too fast in front of her, "Why don't you go after the new year?"

"Don't wait, it's just a holiday over there, so I went to play with my mother for a few days. I was thinking of going there for Christmas. Christmas over there is more atmospheric." Du Zhian wore a red scarf.

In Xu Xinan's eyes, it looks like a fluffy and beautiful bear.

"The New Year over there should be good too. At least there will be fireworks on New Year's Eve, right? Is it at the Sphinx?"

"How is it? Do you want to watch the fireworks with us?" Zhi'an seemed to be joking.

"I don't have a visa." When I was young, I thought I could accompany her to distant places with an ID card.When I grow up, I realize that some places are farther than the distance.

"It's almost time, I have to go." She pulled up the handle of the carry-on suitcase.

"Okay, I will accompany you to the security checkpoint."

They set out to go abroad.Xu Xinan was silent.

As it was approaching, Du Zhian suddenly said: "It would be great if there were fireworks on the river beach during the New Year's Eve. Then we can count as watching the fireworks together."

Xu Xinan's chest surged up, as if he was about to say something. Since she was a child, she had seen fireworks so many times, but she had never seen them with her.She opened her mouth, she wanted to say, but we watched the sunrise on the plain together, on the bumpy green leather train, do you remember?I just love you from the moment the sun rises.

The staff at the airport looked at them indifferently, and raised their hands to signal Du Zhian to move forward.

As she walked forward, she smiled and waved back, "Xi Nan, thank you. Goodbye."

The words that came up came back down like a tide, and Xu Xinan replied, "Goodbye."

She stood where she was until the red scarf disappeared behind the security gate and could no longer be seen. Then she took out her mobile phone, bought a special ticket to Shenzhen at night, and was ready to return to her own life.

Everyone lives in their own life.

Li Miaomiao sent dozens of theater tickets to Jincheng's office. The stage play was directed by her brother.

Unfortunately, on the day of the performance, the whole team was working overtime, and Lin Zhique went to the theater alone—this was the only time she left work on time in the past few months.

The ticket said: starring, Lu Shan.

The seat she chose was in the corner of the front row. At halftime, she found that Director Li was sitting obliquely in front of her. She couldn't see his face, but he was still as thin as a bamboo chopstick. After sitting for a while, he got up and left. .

Lu Shan dances better than acting. The role she plays is a plain woman with light makeup and almost pale under the stage lights. When she dances, she is not the Lu Shan who always wears smoky makeup and rivet boots in her memory, but more like that night In the hospital, Lu Shan was as isolated as disinfectant.

After the show ended, there were scattered audiences waiting at the entrance of the theater to take photos with the leading actors. Lin Zhique also stood in the cold wind for a while, and saw Lu Shan coming out, changing her stage outfit and wearing a black leather jacket and pants.She suddenly laughed out loud.Lu Shan turned her head when she heard the sound, and she walked over to shake hands with her. Both of them were not used to this gesture, and they only held fingers briefly."You did a great job," she said. "However, this suit suits you better now."

"Really? I think so too." Lu Shan brushed her hair behind her ears, revealing her metallic earrings.

She doesn't know her.She survived that night in 2005 alone.

Lu Shan rode a heavy motorcycle with a stern posture, splitting the howling wind and leaving.

The Chinese New Year in 2020 was as early as late January. Lin Zhique was originally scheduled to return to East China before New Year's Eve, but the epidemic disrupted everything like a mountain roar and a tsunami. She was stranded in Jincheng and spent the new year alone.The company switched to online office, and everyone lived in seclusion. She occasionally went out to buy, and the streets were depressed, and everyone she met was wearing a mask.

As a member, she is accepting new disciplines with the world.

Her 27-year-old is over, the 27-year-old who disappeared in an instant like a fleeting moment after more than half a year, and also disappeared, and the lover she met at the age of 27.

February 2020, 2, is her 13th birthday.

She's not in the habit of celebrating.

But I always remember that someone once said that he wanted to live with her.
