unspeakable ice

Shi Jie drove Yu Xiaolong to the train station early in the morning, and turned off the engine three times along the way.

Yu Xiaolong couldn't bear it anymore, "Boss Shi, can we get a new one? I'll pay half of the money."

"No need." Shi Jie waved his hand while lighting the fire, "It's a matter of buying a spark plug for more than ten yuan, just change it."

He probably didn't remember how many spark plugs he had changed, and it wasn't a problem with the spark plugs at all. Even if the front face of the car was completely changed now, Yu Xiaolong was worried that the frame would not be able to bear another person.

He was looking at his phone, and he still had time. He had recently figured out the temper of this Jinbei car. He took into account the possibility of the engine going out on the road and how long it would take to get back on the road. He left the car more than two hours earlier.

"Look, isn't this good? It can still drive. It's only 18 kilometers. You're young. If you don't run 30, is it worth the 1 yuan I spent?" Shi Jie didn't know what to do when he went down. Came back and lit the fire again.

"..."

"Too much money to burn, right? Have you paid off your mortgage? Have you paid off your owed money? Just open your mouth and buy it." Shi Jie glared at him, "Live your life, eat the last meal and think about the next one. Stop, don't open your hands so wide."

"Don't say a few words, it's long-winded." Yu Xiaolong found that he had become more and more long-winded in the past two years, no wonder Zhao Fei hated it.

"Tsk." Shi Jie stepped on the gas pedal, "Anyway, I'm not going to have a good time, and I won't change if I'm killed. Hey, is there enough time?"

"It's too late, you drive normally."

A message popped up on his mobile phone, in order to meet Dai Zhuang smoothly today, he specially downloaded the mobile version of Qianniu. In fact, he can add WeChat, but it seems that neither of them mentioned it, so they defaulted to this contact method .

Yu Xiaolong sometimes wonders, how can someone use Wangwang as a chat tool besides shopping.

He is a half-time freelancer, and his online status is not fixed. If he leaves a message for him, he will see the time sooner or later, but it will never be less than 30 seconds away, and he will definitely receive a reply from the other party.

"I'm sure it's not that Xia, who is so anxious to see you." Shi Jie has always known that there is such a person, he is more sensitive than Yu Xiaolong, especially when he heard that he came to repair Yu Xiaolong's boat, and it was a broken boat. Finally, immediately drag a chair to sit behind him, let him ask, ask layers of exploitation, don't let go of any doubts, no matter how seamless the answer is, even release all the grade points in school, Shi Jay was still skeptical.

The main reason is that the rascal is very cunning.

Until this time we said we would meet.

"Probably not." Yu Xiaolong said.

Shi Jie thought about it carefully, and it was really impossible. If it was really Xia Cong, he probably wouldn't dare to come to see him so casually.

What's more, Yu Xiaolong has been chatting with him for so long, it's really tricky, can he pretend for a while, can he pretend for a year?If that's the case, I really can't say that I have any responsibility for falling into it in the previous wave.

After sending it to the parking lot, Shi Jie called him to stop him before going up, and began to twitch again, "How should I put it, that... I'm a junior after all, I'm definitely not a junior, if it's suitable... we can talk about it."

"..."

"I'm serious, although his academic qualifications are not very good, his school is a bit advanced, but the advantage is not that he likes you, then before..." There was no good result before, Shi Jie paused, but who said this time Certainly not.

"That's not called liking." Yu Xiaolong was a little helpless, he couldn't explain to Shi Jie that not everyone who happened to like men liked him, there were few of his kind, but there was no necessary relationship.

"That's not what you call liking. You two chat every day. You really don't have any ideas. After buying and disbanding, why bother to tell you everything." Shi Jie is not stupid. yes.

"...Stop talking, it's time to stop." Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.

"Come back and tell me in advance, I will pick you up."

The exhibition lasted a total of two days. He went there today and would not come back until the night after tomorrow. This car is not safe to drive during the day, let alone at night. Yu Xiaolong plans to take a taxi directly at that time.

Wang Haoyang took his people there yesterday, and the booth was almost set up. He personally escorted the exhibits, and some items that were not easy to fold or withstand collisions were dismantled before entering the car, so they had to be reinstalled after arriving at the scene.

When Yu Xiaolong arrived, he had already installed part of it, and there were some things that others couldn't understand. Anyway, he left enough time for communication, and when someone came to see it, he could just sit there and demonstrate.

There were quite a lot of people who came, and most of them were concentrated in a few well-known production companies in the circle. Those who were not too famous like them were familiar with each other, but there were also technical nerds gathered around to discuss and communicate.

Yu Xiaolong met several fellow fans on the forums, and chatted in the backstage. This time, he finally matched his face and name. One of them was designed by a big brand. He was very interested in Yu Xiaolong's works and left his contact information.

Yu Xiaolong looked down at his phone from time to time, and then looked around. Finally, Wang Haoyang was able to sit down and drink his saliva. He was so tired that he pinched his neck, "Looking for someone?"

Yu Xiaolong shook his head, packed his things, and took turns eating with them.

Just as he was about to leave, a tall, thin young man with a bag on his back and wearing a black down jacket appeared in front of their booth. A dark gray scarf covered half of his face, revealing only black eyes and a straight bridge of the nose .

Yu Xiaolong had seen the photo on his student card and recognized him immediately, but Dai Zhuang probably had never seen him before. For some reason, the first time he stood still, he fixed his eyes on Yu Xiaolong without hesitation .

He pulled down the scarf and smiled at him, "Hello."

"Substitute, right?" Yu Xiaolong also smiled, seeing that he seemed to be walking in a hurry, his forehead was sweating, and handed him a bottle of drink, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"I got up late, I almost missed the high-speed train, I'm sorry." Dai Zhuang coughed lightly, with a slight nasal sound when speaking, and Yu Xiaolong found a chair for him to sit on.

He has never talked much, and he is not good at making close friends. In the past, he used to chat with other people, and there were very few silences. Today, I don’t know what happened. He just sat down and looked at the boats on their booth, and he saw nearly 1 minute.

It was silent for 1 minute.

Yu Xiaolong was a little embarrassed, and asked him if he had eaten, and if he wanted to order a copy for him.

Dai Zhuang thanked him for his kindness and said that he had caught a cold today, so he moved the chair back a little, as if he was afraid of contagious him, Yu Xiaolong asked the staff to pour him a cup of hot water, probably because he was not feeling well. I feel a little listless.

Yu Xiaolong chatted with him a few more words, answering every question on behalf of Zhuang, the face was indeed the one on the student ID card, it might be much prettier than the one on the student ID card, but it gave off a wrong feeling, Yu Xiaolong didn't know how to describe.

He couldn't tell what he was supposed to be, but it didn't seem like it should be.

He is the kind of person who, when Yu Xiaolong casually throws out a topic, ten people can spread out in a short period of time, and he never makes people feel cold.

Sometimes you can even clearly feel the deliberate enthusiasm that he doesn't want to stop the topic when he speaks.

Maybe it's because of the first meeting. Some people are like this. They can let go of everything behind the screen. In fact, they are extremely afraid of socializing, and maybe they are nervous.

As soon as this idea came out, Yu Xiaolong quickly denied it. The feeling that Dai Zhuang gave him, from the moment he said hello, was very stable, he was not nervous, on the contrary he was very calm.

He sat there alone, finishing the gadgets in his hands, seemed to be a little interested, but also gave people a sense of mission that he had to sit here to complete a certain task.

"When sewing canvas, do you know how to use overlock stitches now?" Yu Xiaolong asked suddenly. This was a question that Yu Xiaolong repeatedly corrected him when Dai Zhuang told him that the sails were not sewn tightly.

Dai Zhuang raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he didn't hear clearly or didn't understand.

Yu Xiaolong looked around sharply.

There are two entrances and exits in the exhibition hall. It started raining outside at some point. The south gate was crowded with a lot of staff, and they were withdrawing some exterior layouts that could not get wet.

He looked towards the east gate, suddenly put down the things in his hands, and walked there through the crowd. He didn't take an umbrella, and it seemed to be raining a lot outside. When he saw him rushing out, his surprised expression became more determined. guessed.

Obviously he is not, the person surnamed Dai may be real, it is indeed him, but the person who sits in front of the computer typing and chatting with him for a whole year, repeatedly asking him how to fix a boat is definitely not him.

Yu Xiaolong rushed outside the venue, thanks to the sudden heavy rain, the entire asphalt road surface was washed shiny, the surrounding trees were bare, the sky was bright and the ground was clear, leaving nowhere for a slender figure with an umbrella to walk in the middle Hide away.

It's so easy to recognize, for two years, Yu Xiaolong thought that he could at least blur his appearance, but who knows, he can even remember the shape of his shoulders and back clearly.

He recognized it almost immediately, "Stop."

The man slowed down and gradually stopped. His back wrapped in a large down jacket stretched following the voice, and he relaxed a little because of his standing posture. He seemed a little helpless to be seen through in less than 10 minutes.

He sighed softly, and slowly turned around, "It's still chasing after such a heavy rain."

Yu Xiaolong didn't speak, just looked at him.

Xia Cong waited for a while, "Don't you want to say hello, long time no see?"

Although he was used to his silence on many things, Xia Cong still hoped that he could say something at this moment. The rain was heavy, much heavier than before, and it was a bit unreal to see people through the rain curtain.

He walked forward, tilting the handle of the umbrella, trying to shield him from the rain, Yu Xiaolong subconsciously took a step back, Xia Cong stopped his movement, raised his right hand slightly, and made a posture of surrender, "Okay, I won't move."

He put away the umbrella and folded his hands in front of him. The ribs of the umbrella were very hard and very black, which made the blood vessels on the back of his hand wet by the rain so pale that the naked eye could see it.

Xia Cong wanted to say something, but suddenly he coughed as if he was choked, coughing a little fiercely, and he could faintly hear the hoarse tearing sound in his lungs.

Not installed.

After finally calming down, he smiled palely at the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you stupid, we insist on getting in the rain together."

"Is it you?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him with cold eyes.

"So good at guessing, why don't you guess that I'm also here to participate in the exhibition?"

"..." Yu Xiaolong couldn't restrain a sense of long-lost disgust, he was unmoved, and waited to see how he lied, but Xia Cong smiled lightly and admitted: "Okay, it's me. "

"I didn't expect you to see me so soon." He coughed twice, mocking himself, "I couldn't hold back for a while."

It was the first time for Wang Haoyang to participate in the exhibition in the name of his company, and he urged them to dress formally on the first day.

It was hot inside the venue, Yu Xiaolong took off his down jacket, and now he was left with a thin shirt and suit jacket, his shoulders were wet, and the cold rain rolled in along the neckline.

Coldness is inevitable, but it seems nothing compared to the anger aroused by the fact that he was humiliated by the facts at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly and tried his best to restrain himself and asked, "Who is that person inside?"

"Dai Ze, Song Ye's boyfriend." Xia Cong felt a little annoyed, "I shouldn't be looking for him, he can't act at all."

"So it was you from beginning to end?"

"it's me."

Xia Cong had a smile on his face and a smile in his eyes.

He has always loved to laugh, but as Song Ye said, his smile was insincere. Yu Xiaolong thought that after getting to know him for a long time, he could tell which of his smiles were sincere and which were perfunctory .

Like the one in front of him, with a smile in the depths of his eyes, like a bright light, he used to like it the most, but looking at it now, he just finds it ironic.

He thought that he was special to him, but he didn't find out until later that he still didn't understand him at all, so how could he have the ability to distinguish.

"What do you want to do again, is it interesting to lie to me and become addicted?"

"If I said that I lied to you just because I wanted to see you." Xia Cong's eyes were fixed, a little naive, and when he said he wanted to see, he really looked into his eyes seriously.

"You don't know, I'm very happy to stand in front of you again, even if I hear you attack me like this."

Yu Xiaolong laughed suddenly, he didn't know why he was laughing, he didn't want to make himself laugh, but his facial nerves didn't listen to him, and when he reacted to restrain himself, he had been laughing for a while.

It's so stupid. Fortunately, this is the back door, and no one passes by. Otherwise, seeing the two of them standing outside at minus [-] or [-] degrees in the winter with an umbrella, soaking in such heavy rain, is really stupid.

He regretted why he chased it out, even if he saw it, just delete it, can't he not contact him, can't he hide, why bother to get to the bottom of this matter.

From Xia Cong's hand, he saw the pale but red corners of his eyes, "If you tell me now that you want to see me so much because you have a terminal illness, I will be very happy."

Xia Cong suddenly deepened his smile, as if he had finally seen the reaction he expected from Yu Xiaolong, he propped up his umbrella again, "This is not a place to talk, I will explain to you another day, go in."

"There won't be another day." Yu Xiaolong turned and walked back, the rain was so heavy that he couldn't open his eyes, a fire was burning in his heart, and he managed to withstand such a bone-chilling coldness.

Xia Cong seemed to want to say something, but footsteps came from behind him.

"Get out!" Yu Xiaolong roared from the depths of his throat without turning his head.

The author has something to say:

I hate writing reunion scenes, I don't know what to say

if you want me to say it directly

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"roll!"
