Jasmine
The writing of Chapter 2 has already started, it is the twists and turns of the ancient time-traveli
Everything is so familiar, as if it just happened yesterday.However, all of these may be far away from Xiao Ran, there is reluctance, nostalgia, longing, and too much worry.
Taking advantage of An Ziqi's taking a bath, Xiao Bai sat next to Xiao Ran with a glass of wine, and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans? Do you want to continue or give up?"
Xiao Ran drank the red wine in his hand with a flat expression, "It's up to her to decide." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, she got up and walked to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of red wine on the outside, and walked back.The bottle was screwed into the cork along the screw, and Xiao Ran used all his strength... "Oh!" A low sigh came from Xiao Ran's mouth to Xiao Bai's ear.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Bai turned sideways and looked towards Xiao Ran.
"The cork is broken." Xiao Ran threw the bottle on the table, holding the red wine bottle, looking at the broken cork still at the mouth of the bottle.
Xiao Bai walked over and picked up the bottle that Xiao Ran was still on the side. She inserted the screw rod of the bottle along the mouth of the bottle, pressed hard, and the cork fell into the wine bottle.
"This..." Xiao Ran hesitated to speak, looking at the cork that had slipped into the wine, there were bubbles around it.
Xiao Bai picked up the wine bottle disapprovingly, and poured it into the empty wine glass in his hand.Xiao Bai handed the red wine bottle to Xiao Ran, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "They are like this broken cork, since they are broken, they can't be put together again, so you don't have to Too much mind..."
Xiao Ran followed Xiaobai with a slight smile, nodded, and suddenly said: "Well, Miss Bai, I understand, I won't put pressure on her anymore."
Xiao Bai raised one corner of his lips, and his face returned to the brilliance of the past, and said to Xiao Ran: "Actually, you can still be that driving force, and there is nothing wrong with letting everything follow nature."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.
When An Ziqi came out of the bathroom, Xiao Bai put down the empty wine glass and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Ran. When she walked past Xiao Ran, she patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and walked straight into the bedroom.
Although Xiao Ran had figured things out, he was still at a loss when facing An Ziqi.For example, now, she is standing awkwardly in the living room, not knowing whether she should go to An Ziqi's bedroom to sleep on the same pillow as before, or stay on the small bed in the living room.An Ziqi waited in the bedroom for a long time before realizing anything unusual. She walked to the door of the bedroom with her slippers on, looked at Xiao Ran who was standing by the small bed, and said softly, "Come in and sleep!"
Xiao Ran nodded, and as the living room lights went out, Xiao Ran walked into the bedroom.
Neither of them turned on the bedside lamp, only the faint moonlight shining in from the window in the darkness.This kind of environment seems to be very suitable for heart-to-heart communication. There is not only fear in the dark, but also a relaxing mood.
"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry..." An Ziqi's whisper broke through the silent room.
Xiao Ran embraced An Ziqi, and put his lips on An Ziqi's forehead, "Sister, no matter what you decide, I won't blame you."
"Xiao Ran——" An Ziqi kissed Xiao Ran back, her lips slipped from Xiao Ran's cheeks to her lips, teasing with the tip of her tongue, Xiao Ran gently caressed An Ziqi's cheek, with her fingers inserted in her hair, The faint fragrance of jasmine wafts through every part of the room.
Overnight, they didn't talk about that matter, but it seemed that they both knew the answer.The night is long, but they feel so short, embracing, kissing, constantly asking for each other, and while An Ziqi tried her best to satisfy Xiao Ran, she didn't touch Xiao Ran's last film.Xiao Ran was a little disappointed, and even blamed An Ziqi for not loving An Ziqi deeply enough, and An Ziqi also had her own ideas, since she couldn't give Xiao Ran all of herself, why bother to destroy her perfection.
The morning sun woke up Xiao Ran from his sleep, Xiao Ran looked around sleepily, the snow-white sheets and snow-white quilt cover were even more dazzling by the light behind him.Xiao Ran saw the empty bed in front of him, looked back eagerly and saw the familiar figure in front of the sun.
"Are you awake?" The moment Xiao Ran turned around, a gentle voice came from the dazzling sunlight.
"En!" Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes, and saw An Ziqi clearly sitting in the black rocking chair on the balcony.Her hair was loose and she was wrapped in a white nightgown, her tired face was less melancholy.
Xiao Ran sat up and saw a smile on An Ziqi's stern face. She was about to turn sideways when the nightgown at the bottom suddenly slipped off, revealing her smooth and slender thighs.She immediately pulled the nightgown with her hands, and Xiao Ran saw a thin, long snow-white thing between her fingers in the hand near the balcony.
"Do you smoke?" Xiao Ran has never seen An Ziqi smoking, and even said that she hates the smell of cigarettes. Occasionally when she goes out to play, she will cut off the cigarette with a dissatisfied expression when she sees Xiao Bai picking it up. But today , how could she...
An Ziqi smiled slightly, with helplessness and sadness in the smile, and replied lightly: "Occasionally..."
Xiao Ran got up and put on the clothes one by one, turned his back to An Ziqi and asked softly, "When are you leaving?" The words came out lightly, more like a casual question between friends.
An Ziqi crushed out the nearly burnt cigarette in her hand, and also did not look at Xiao Ran, but looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window, and replied, "A week later."
For a week, Xiao Ran didn't go anywhere, didn't go to school, didn't go home, and didn't look for a job again. He just stayed by An Ziqi's side every day. Like usual holidays, he slept and ate together. There was no further mention of An Ziqi's going to find Mo Chen.
Time passed by every minute and every second, passing in plainness and happiness, this week passed just as Xiao Ran expected, the two lived together, there was no quarrel, only laughter, every morning as usual morning run, dinner at night Then go for a leisurely walk on the beach.
An Ziqi would intentionally avoid Xiao Ran every time she packed her luggage, because she didn't know how to face such a situation. She knew that her choice would be cruel to Xiao Ran, but she couldn't control herself from going to Mo morning heart.
An Ziqi left, she didn't ask anyone to see her off.That morning she deliberately dismissed Xiao Ran.Pulling a suitcase alone, he walked out of the "Consort's Mansion", and walked out of the place where the dream began. This place not only carries the dreams of An Ziqi and Mo Chen, but also carries the dream of Xiao Ran. Unfortunately, the dream must be awakened after all.
An Ziqi sat alone in the departure hall of the international airport. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, in the spacious aircraft parking lot, staff in twos and threes were busy.Unknowingly, some people began to sit around An Ziqi, whether it was the blond and blue-eyed exotic, or the yellow-skinned and dark-eyed local crowd, none of them caused An Ziqi to raise his eyes.She sat quietly on the seat without a trace of warmth, and her mind seemed to be much clearer. She closed her eyes, and there was no longer any figure in front of her eyes. "Let's go, no matter what the result is, I only give myself two years to meet or not..." An Ziqi murmured in her heart.
In another place of the international airport, Xiao Ran stood outside the security checkpoint, staring at the people entering the security checkpoint, but her eyes did not seem to be looking for someone. Perhaps, she already knew clearly what she was looking for. It is impossible for people to appear in front of your eyes.
When walking out of the airport, a plane just flew over Xiao Ran's head, Xiao Ran looked up, and whispered to her in the air: "Safe journey——"
☆、A person's day
A gust of cold wind blew by, and I felt lost in my heart.At some point, scattered raindrops fell from the blue sky and white clouds. Xiao Ran looked up at the sky, opened his mouth, and tasted the rain mixed with the bright sunshine with his tongue.Is it sweet?Is it sour?I don't know it, but bitterness flows into my heart.
Driving back to school from the airport, his eyes were covered with layers of mist along the way, and the vehicle in front became hazy. Xiao Ran wiped his eyes with his hands, but it was hazy again before they were wiped dry.
The car intentionally bypassed the "son-in-law's mansion" and drove to the school along a small road. Only now did Xiao Ran realize that he could avoid the "consort's mansion" but not his own memories. The streets and alleys were full of An Ziqi's leftovers. The figure, you can't escape if you want to escape, and you can't hide if you want to hide.
Although it was spring, it was still chilly. When Xiao Ran got out of the car, she shivered, shivered, wrapped her clothes, and walked slowly towards the dormitory.Unfamiliar faces walked by one after another, from the school gate to the dormitory building. This road has been walked countless times, but each time it has never been as long as it is today.
Unknowingly, I walked to the entrance of the art museum, this place that Xiao Ran and Huazi once considered as a place to cleanse the soul, this place was accidentally mentioned by Principal Zeng at the celebration banquet-"She draws very well, our school's There are still her works in the exhibition hall of the art museum..." However, Xiao Ran never came in after her sophomore year, even after knowing that there were An Ziqi's works here, she never came in when she wanted to have a look. Pass.But now I really want to go in and take a look, but unfortunately, the door is open, and the inside is empty, and there is no work, only paint, wood and decoration workers who come in and out.
Pausing in his footsteps, Xiao Ran continued to walk towards the dormitory building with regret and expectation.On the way to the cafeteria, Xiao Ran stopped at the intersection, and the scene where Huazi stopped awkwardly seemed to have happened only yesterday.
"Xiao Ran, I think the food in the canteen today is not bad, why don't we go after eating..."
"What about eggplants and potatoes? I don't want to eat them without any change 365 days a year. They don't even have any oily smell..."
"I, my living expenses for this month are almost spent..."
"That's it? What are you afraid of, don't you still have me! You can hang out with me in the next half month! I promise you to eat and drink well, and you won't take a catty of meat with you..."
"It's not good..."
"From now on we will be good brothers, oh, no, good sisters, I eat bird's nest and shark's fin, you eat with me, I go to the beach to meet girls, you go with me. From now on, we will have the same blessings when……"
"We can eat this meal together, girls can soak together, but we absolutely can't soak together..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneered, looked at the cafeteria not far away, and continued walking forward.
When passing by the central lake, the big banyan tree by the lake has sprouted new shoots.Xiao Ran slowly walked around a banyan tree, and his fingers brushed the trunk inadvertently.A gust of wind blows, and I vaguely hear someone singing, "On the banyan tree by the pond / Cicada is calling for summer / On the swing by the grass / Only butterflies rest on it / The teacher’s chalk on the blackboard / Still chattering desperately Childhood of writing non-stop/waiting for class/waiting for school/waiting for games..." "Childhood"?That's the song they sang together, and it's here too.At that time, they were a group of five, carefree, and the only little worry was how to pass various exams smoothly.However, Xiao Ran is the only one left here now.
Huazi and Han Yaxin have already broken up, Han Yaxin has graduated and left school, and has lost contact with Huazi, while Huazi and Xiao Jingyi have gone to work in Lincheng.There are many versions of Feifei's news in the school. Some people say that her parents let her marry a divorced man in the village with the child in her belly. Some people say that Feifei killed the child secretly and ran away from home. In short, Feifei completely disappeared on the campus as if she had evaporated from the world.And during those four years, she was busy with various part-time jobs every day, and her father's sudden illness before graduation made her already struggling life even worse. She hadn't appeared on campus for many days. I don't know why. I went home to take care of my father, but I still have a new job.
According to An Ziqi's thoughts, Xiaobai and You Meng of the "consort's mansion" have already started to discuss the matter of renting out the "consort's mansion". An Ziqi entrusted this matter to Xiaobai and You Meng before leaving. Dream.At this moment, Mo Chen is gone, An Ziqi is gone, the existence of "Consort's Mansion" seems to be meaningless, and An Ziqi is going abroad to find Mo Chen, and Xiaobai and You Meng are too busy to come to the studio and "Consort's Mansion" "The matter on both sides, not to mention that Xiaobai has never been interested in the "consort's mansion". Instead of opening here and losing money, it is better to rent it out.
Now, Xiao Ran stood under the banyan tree in a daze, looking at the boy who was sitting on a stone bench not far away, playing and singing, the same song, but with a different mood.At this moment, Xiao Ran only felt gloomy, and his heart was empty, as if everyone around him was leaving him one by one.Loneliness, loneliness, loss, helplessness... came one after another, Xiao Ran tried to get up, but was knocked down by the next "wave".As a result, Xiao Ran at this time is hovering between giving up and persevering.There are many times when Xiao Ran really wants to escape and escape to another world... There is no leaving, where you can love as much as you want, where everyone has no past, they are a brand new life, sprouting and growing together , the same root connected, never separated.
However, she couldn't give up, she promised An Ziqi to wait for her to come back, no matter what the result after two years, she would wait.And what her father said to her also made Xiao Ran understand that she must learn to be independent and how to strengthen herself, only in this way can she be a solid backing for her lover.
Xiao Ran looked around in the empty dormitory, the four beds were still the same as when he first came in four years ago, and the only difference was that when he met them for the first time that day, Xiao Ran was the last one. One came in, and only Xiao Ran's bed was empty at that time.And today, the last quilt left here belongs to Xiao Ran, and she became the last person to leave here.Goodbye, Academy of Fine Arts!Goodbye, bedroom 307!Goodbye, dear roommates!
Xiao Ran came out of the dormitory and left the school directly, with the endless sea and the blue sky, how many memories of her there were in this sea, and how many laughter and tears she had under the blue sky.
An Ziqi's departure seemed to have taken away a naive and lovely Xiao Ran, and what remained in this sea area was a Xiao Ran who was more stable, less reckless, more sad, and less joyful.
Driving all the way home, the trees on the side of the road kept pushing back, and Xiao Ran overtook one car after another.In a few days, it seems that many things have changed, obviously they are still congratulating for the purchase of the store, and suddenly the plaque of "Consort's Mansion" is about to come down; they are still planning to live with An Ziqi, and suddenly they are two There is a time difference between black and white; a group of people are still immersed in the joy of traveling, and all of a sudden the building is empty... And all these changes, at the moment when Xiao Ran opened the door of the house, it seemed that there was no difference. change.
"Ran Ran, you're back! Go wash your hands and prepare to eat! Your father will be back soon." Mother Ran, with an apron on her waist and a spatula in her hand, poked her head out of the kitchen and said lovingly to Xiao Ran .
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded to her mother. Ran's mother only felt that her daughter was a little abnormal today, but only for a moment, and immediately went to work on dinner again.
Xiao Ran washed her hands and stood beside her mother, and asked softly, "Mom, what are you eating today?"
Mother put the dishes on the plate and said: "There are fish, vegetables, and your favorite ribs. By the way, when you came home last time, didn't you say you wanted to eat "Three Cups of Duck"? Mom deliberately checked the recipe on the Internet, you can try it to see if it tastes good..."
Xiao Ran only felt his head buzzing, and could no longer hear what Ran's mother said behind him.She turned her back and pretended to grab the bowls and chopsticks, biting her lower lip with her teeth. "Three Cups of Duck" was mentioned by Xiao Ran inadvertently the last time I came home. It was the day Ran's father and Xiao Ran had a heart-to-heart talk. Xiao Ran missed An Ziqi that night and remembered too many things related to her. Thinking that he and Huazi were scrambling to eat the "Three Cups of Duck" made by An Ziqi, he unconsciously blurted out the name of this dish, but unexpectedly, his mother wrote it down...
"Ran Ran, eat first if you're hungry! Your dad just called back to say that there is a traffic jam on the road, and he may be late home." Ran's mother put the last dish on the table.
Xiao Ran followed her mother with soup, and said in a gentle voice: "Mom, I'm not hungry, let's eat together when my father comes back!"
Mother was taken aback, and then a gratified smile appeared on her face.
In my impression, it was the first time that the mother and daughter sat at the dining table and waited for their father to come home for dinner. Instead of Xiao Ran eating alone, Ran's mother sat on the side, watching Xiao Ran eat while waiting for Ran's father.The mother and daughter chatted casually, and the time didn't feel slow. During the period, when the mother knew that the father was coming home, she went to heat up the meal again.
The food was served for the second time, and Ran's father also came back. As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Ran greeted him. He naturally took his father's backpack, and put the slippers at his father's feet. Ran's father was also startled. The same smile as Ran's mother surfaced.
The family of three sat around the dining table, Xiao Ran thought of An Ziqi again at this time, and remembered the scene of the four of them sitting around eating the New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.However, looking up at the parents in front of him, the father was casually chatting about the company's trivial matters, and the mother listened patiently, expressing her own opinions from time to time.This scene is exactly the same as before Xiao Ran went to college. Nearly four years have passed, and Xiao Ran seems to have changed into a different Xiao Ran. However, his parents are still the parents of four years ago, and his home is still the same as his home four years ago.
When Xiao Ran's meal was halfway through, during the gap between his parents' conversation, Xiao Ran looked at his father, and said firmly in his expectant eyes: "Dad, I want to work in your company, okay?"
Ran's father didn't see any surprise on his face, he didn't stop eating, and with the same gentle smile, he naturally said to his daughter, "Okay! When do you plan to start working?"
"The sooner the better."
"Then come with me tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" Xiao Ran continued to bow his head to eat after answering, and said in a low voice after a while, "Thank you, Dad!"
☆, hometown
The sparkling sun shone on the sea, and dozens of speedboats shuttled across the sea at high speed. The blue sky and white clouds were the same as before, but there were countless flying umbrellas floating in the air. The young man was driving a beach motorcycle, carrying beautiful A woman hurried past the tourists, and two groups of middle-aged men stood on both sides of the net, waving their arms, trying their best to fight for their skills.In front of the tent on the other side, the children were laughing and chasing after each other. The adults set up the barbecue pit, some were in charge of lighting the fire, and some were preparing the food...
It has been almost two years, and everything here has changed, but it has not changed, because the sea is still there, and the blue house is still there.Xiao Ran stopped in front of this house, and now it is no longer called "Seven Son-in-law's Mansion". The new boss changed it into a youth hostel, welcoming and sending people who come here to travel.Not long after An Ziqi left, Xiaobai rented out the place. The only condition for renting the house was that the exterior color of the house and the hand-painted paintings could not be changed.At first Xiao Ran thought it was what An Ziqi meant, but later he realized it was Xiaobai's own decision. Xiao Ran asked Xiaobai why?Xiao Bai still casually said that she likes this color and that painting.Is it really just for this simple reason?Or did Xiaobai want to help An Ziqi leave something behind?
Xiao Ran walked up the steps slowly, and pushed open the blue wooden shutter door. This was the first time Xiao Ran came back here in two years, because there was no longer the person she was looking forward to here, and it would only be a long time coming back. Add a bit of touch to the scene.Now that the two-year deadline is getting closer, the anticipation in his heart is becoming more and more obvious. Back here, back to this familiar place, Xiao Ran couldn't find a reason, but came here involuntarily following his heart.
The moment the door is pushed open, the white and blue style is still there, but the layout has changed a lot.As soon as Xiao Ran approached the front desk, the strange young man at the front desk said to Xiao Ran gently: "Hello! Welcome!"
"Hello!" Xiao Ran nodded, then looked up and looked around, and saw An Ziqi and Xiao Bai's bedroom on the second floor at a glance. The original living room was opened, and the "invisible door" no longer existed. The bedroom door is naturally revealed.Xiao Ran pointed to An Ziqi's room upstairs, and said to the young man at the front desk, "Stay for one night, can you give me the room with murals on the second floor?"
The young man was startled, and looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. After a while, he replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss! That room is not open to the public."
Xiao Ran frowned, looked at the young man, and asked, "Why?".
"This is the boss's rule. I don't know the details. I'm really sorry! Can I change you to another room?" The young man explained politely.
Xiao Ran paused, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, is the one next to it okay?" The young man looked at the computer screen and tentatively asked Xiao Ran.
"Beside..." Xiao Ran looked up at Xiaobai's room, pointed at that room, and asked, "Is that room?"
The young man nodded, "Yes, can you see that one?"
"it is good."
When passing by An Ziqi's room, Xiao Ran stroked the door lightly, and tried to turn the handle again. Just as the young man said, the room is locked.Xiao Ran quietly pushed open the door next to him, Xiaobai's bedroom had been changed by the shop owner, completely lost the taste of the past.
Standing on the balcony of the bedroom, Xiao Ran looked at the sea outside the window. The familiar scenery now added more laughter from tourists. Xiao Ran looked at the scene in front of him out of focus, and murmured: " It's been almost two years, and you have traveled to so many cities following her footsteps, are you going to come back now? Sister, I...I miss you..."
For two years, An Ziqi was chasing the marriage route that she and Mo Chen had set. No matter where An Ziqi went, she would tell Xiao Ran and say she was safe.And Xiao Ran never asked An Ziqi if he found Mo Chen, and wanted to speak many times, but swallowed it back abruptly.Maybe she was afraid of getting the answer she didn't want to hear, which cut off her expectation, Xiao Ran just silently stayed with An Ziqi on the other side of the network, on the other side of the phone, like a friend separated by two places, appropriately Greetings, caring appropriately.Coincidentally, An Ziqi never mentioned the matter of Mo Chen, and responded to Xiao Ran with the same words.
The blue sky outside the glass window was gradually covered with purple clouds. Many people set up their cameras and waited for the moment of sunset.Standing in front of the window, Xiao Ran seemed to see the couple in the painting in front of her eyes. They embraced quietly and watched the beautiful moment.In a trance, the sea slowly changed from golden yellow to night, and the sea was also invaded by darkness.
Xiao Ran returned to the house, opened the laptop, and countless unread emails jumped out. Xiao Ran opened each email one by one, read it carefully, and replied skillfully.After two years of hard work, Xiao Ran has taken over most of the company's affairs. Ran's father often praised Xiao Ran in front of Ran's mother as a good seed for doing business. Who knows how much effort Xiao Ran has put in behind everyone's backs.She often works day and night, and sometimes she goes to the hospital with clients, which makes her slim figure even thinner. When her parents asked her, she only said that she was losing weight recently .Seeing it, her mother felt pain in her heart, and often made Xiao Ran something she liked to eat, but Xiao Ran always had no time to come back to eat because of work.Moreover, he was afraid that his mother would be tired, so he hired a nanny for the family to take care of his parents.
After Xiao Ran sent the last email, she stretched her waist and moved her stiff neck from side to side a few times. Only then did she realize that it was already dawn, and pale white light shone in from the glass window, occupying every corner, giving the room a The door was painted a dreamy white.Xiao Ran got up and walked towards the balcony, the eastern sky was dyed rosy, and the lazy sun was trying to break through the clouds to reveal it. "Xiao Ran! Go and see if the sun is still in the east?" Xiao Ran recalled An Ziqi's joke once again, and Xiao Ran replied silently, "It's still in the east..." Immediately, a smile involuntarily formed on the corner of his mouth.
"Sister, I still owe you a sunrise! When will you come back..." Xiao Ran's smile gradually became flat, and there was no smile on his face, leaving only infinite longing.
Xiao Ran, who hadn't slept all night, lay on the bed with his clothes on, perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep quickly.A familiar figure appeared in the phantom white in the dream, An Ziqi was dressed in white with her back facing the sun, and slowly walked towards Xiao Ran, she radiated light like an angel.Xiao Ran stretched out his arms to hug An Ziqi, but only the white dream remained in his arms.
It was almost noon after waking up from the dream, Xiao Ran got up and got out of bed, packed her things, and when she walked out of the room with her backpack, she was surprised to find that the door of An Ziqi's bedroom was open.Xiao Ran was startled, then walked in slowly, and saw that the decoration inside was the same as usual, the murals on the beach, the white sheets, the black and white style... Xiao Ran looked in front of him in amazement, but was caught by the person behind him in a daze. The voice trembled with fear.
"Hi! Can I help you?" Xiao Ran looked back and saw a young girl standing there with a rag and a broom in her hand.
"Oh...no, I just came in to take a look." Xiao Ran responded hastily.
"Sorry, this room is not open to the public." The girl explained tactfully.
Xiao Ran nodded and backed out. When he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "Can I take a photo here?"
The girl frowned, showing some embarrassment, Xiao Ran approached the girl, and added: "I am a friend of the landlord."
In this way, Xiao Ran chatted with the girl. During the chat, Xiao Ran knew that this youth hostel was jointly opened by her and a few friends. At first, she heard Xiaobai asked to keep the painting, out of curiosity about the painting. , and inquired about the story behind the painting. Later, she became more and more curious about the protagonist of the story, and she was especially protective of the painting and the room.The girl locked An Ziqi's room so that no one would come in and mess it up. Every morning, she would open the door herself, ventilate it, and wipe the dust off.
Xiao Ran was very moved by the girl's dedication, and thanked her for protecting An Ziqi's room, but the girl didn't take it seriously, her natural smile was bright.
With a sound of "cha--", the girl opened the curtains, and the sunlight came in from the window, shining on the hand-painted painting, making it even more dazzling.Standing in front of the painting, Xiao Ran stared blankly at God, and involuntarily caressed the back of the girl in the painting.The girl was only surprised by Xiao Ran's abnormality for a moment, and immediately seemed to understand something, quietly exited the room, and did not forget to close the door behind her before going out.
I don't know how long it took before Xiao Ran, who was squatting in front of the painting, slowly got up. He always felt that something was missing in the room, but he couldn't think of what it was.Looking around, she accidentally saw something under the bed. She leaned forward, stretched her hand under the bed, and pulled out a triangular bag. "Roller skates..." Xiao Ran blinked, and suddenly thought of the time she counted the hobbies she had taken for An Ziqi with her fingers. Among the many hobbies, An Ziqi only picked out roller skating, and they even made an appointment to go skating together. Roller skating, but after so many years, no one mentioned it again.Xiao Ran didn't expect to see An Ziqi's roller skates here today, Xiao Ran always felt that this seemed to indicate something, but he couldn't tell what it was.Xiao Ran wiped the dust on the shoe bag with the rag left by the girl, and the moment she walked out of the room with her roller skates in her arms, Xiao Ran took a deep breath, only to realize that the faint scent of jasmine was missing here.
When he walked downstairs, Xiao Ran saw the girl talking to a young man, and when he saw Xiao Ran coming down, he smiled and nodded to her, Xiao Ran returned the same salute, and walked out of the shop reflecting the bright afternoon sun Door.Putting the roller skates in the car, when Xiao Ran looked back, it was as if the night here last night was like a dream, and he went back to the past as if traveling through time and space, the days when he was with An Ziqi day and night.
"LADYLADYONEMORETRY/Try to understand my love again/I can't express my emotion/The helplessness of choosing to be friends/LADYLADYONEMORETRY/Remind me when to go away/As long as you think of it occasionally/I live in that sea..." The same ringtone as An Ziqi's came from Xiao Ran's cell phone, Xiao Ran came back to his senses, and went to get the cell phone.
"mom!"
"Ran Ran, where have you been? The meal is almost ready, when will you be home?"
"Mom, I'm going back now."
……
☆, goodbye
It was only a week before the two-year appointment, and Xiao Ran was living her life step by step, with no trace of emotion visible on her calm face.As for the calendar card standing on the desk, the date of the 29th has already been marked countless times by Xiao Ran.
During the afternoon break, Xiao Ran took out An Ziqi's roller skates as usual, and walked to the backyard of the company.Wearing sportswear, Xiao Ran looked even more heroic. Xiao Ran tightened his roller skates, and glides lightly in the courtyard, circling the center of the courtyard round and round.With An Ziqi's roller skates under her feet, there is always an illusion of flying with An Ziqi, the fusion of mind and body is nothing more than this!
The mobile phone not far away suddenly rang, and the familiar music woke up Xiao Ran who was intoxicated in his own world. Xiao Ran slid over, picked up the mobile phone, and the number of the company's front desk was displayed on the screen.
"President Xiao, someone at the front desk is looking for you without an appointment, but..."
Xiao Ran's mind froze, he suddenly realized something, and was about to run to the company building with his mobile phone in his hand, forgetting that he was still wearing roller skates, he staggered and knelt down on the ground.Her muffled "Ah—" made the girl on the other side of the phone ask in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ran got up from the ground, and replied in a light tone: "It's okay, I'll go back right away, you let her wait for me there."
Xiao Ran held roller skates in one hand, and his knees were still stained with dust that could not be shaken off. He ran into the office building with a slightly embarrassed look. Through a glass door, Xiao Ran stopped and looked at the familiar man inside the glass door. His back, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
The woman inside the glass door is wearing a white shirt, the collar of the shirt is turned out over the medium gray sweater, the sleeves are pulled up casually below the elbow joints, a pair of black harem pants and a pair of retro Martin boots reveal a She has a capable expression, a high bun, a graceful figure, simple clothes, and a charming temperament.All of this is so familiar, as if returning to the scene when I first met An Ziqi...
"Sister—" Xiao Ran pushed open the glass door, and at the same time, a slightly trembling gentle voice came out.
An Ziqi turned around slowly, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.An Ziqi was surprised when she saw the roller skates in Xiao Ran's hands, and then saw Xiao Ran's dirty body, she frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ran shook her head, the corners of her mouth were closed, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, she didn't care about replying, she took her sister's wrist and walked to her office.
With a sound of "咚——", the office door closed, and Xiao Ran locked the door behind him.The roller skates fell to the ground, An Ziqi was already hugged by Xiao Ran, and An Ziqi's kiss fell hard on Xiao Ran's lips.Tongue-to-tongue entanglement seemed unable to resolve the two people's longing at this moment, Xiao Ran's lips slid down An Ziqi's neck all the way, and holding An Ziqi's waist with his hands, he led her to the sofa.While lying down, Xiao Ran rubbed off An Ziqi's collar, buried her head in An Ziqi's chest, and kept kissing and nibbling.
The sudden ringing of the phone startled the two distraught people on the sofa, Xiao Ran pretended not to hear and continued to ask for An Ziqi, while An Ziqi put her cheeks in her arms with both hands, whispering softly Authentic: "Hey, go answer the phone
Taking advantage of An Ziqi's taking a bath, Xiao Bai sat next to Xiao Ran with a glass of wine, and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans? Do you want to continue or give up?"
Xiao Ran drank the red wine in his hand with a flat expression, "It's up to her to decide." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, she got up and walked to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of red wine on the outside, and walked back.The bottle was screwed into the cork along the screw, and Xiao Ran used all his strength... "Oh!" A low sigh came from Xiao Ran's mouth to Xiao Bai's ear.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Bai turned sideways and looked towards Xiao Ran.
"The cork is broken." Xiao Ran threw the bottle on the table, holding the red wine bottle, looking at the broken cork still at the mouth of the bottle.
Xiao Bai walked over and picked up the bottle that Xiao Ran was still on the side. She inserted the screw rod of the bottle along the mouth of the bottle, pressed hard, and the cork fell into the wine bottle.
"This..." Xiao Ran hesitated to speak, looking at the cork that had slipped into the wine, there were bubbles around it.
Xiao Bai picked up the wine bottle disapprovingly, and poured it into the empty wine glass in his hand.Xiao Bai handed the red wine bottle to Xiao Ran, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "They are like this broken cork, since they are broken, they can't be put together again, so you don't have to Too much mind..."
Xiao Ran followed Xiaobai with a slight smile, nodded, and suddenly said: "Well, Miss Bai, I understand, I won't put pressure on her anymore."
Xiao Bai raised one corner of his lips, and his face returned to the brilliance of the past, and said to Xiao Ran: "Actually, you can still be that driving force, and there is nothing wrong with letting everything follow nature."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.
When An Ziqi came out of the bathroom, Xiao Bai put down the empty wine glass and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Ran. When she walked past Xiao Ran, she patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and walked straight into the bedroom.
Although Xiao Ran had figured things out, he was still at a loss when facing An Ziqi.For example, now, she is standing awkwardly in the living room, not knowing whether she should go to An Ziqi's bedroom to sleep on the same pillow as before, or stay on the small bed in the living room.An Ziqi waited in the bedroom for a long time before realizing anything unusual. She walked to the door of the bedroom with her slippers on, looked at Xiao Ran who was standing by the small bed, and said softly, "Come in and sleep!"
Xiao Ran nodded, and as the living room lights went out, Xiao Ran walked into the bedroom.
Neither of them turned on the bedside lamp, only the faint moonlight shining in from the window in the darkness.This kind of environment seems to be very suitable for heart-to-heart communication. There is not only fear in the dark, but also a relaxing mood.
"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry..." An Ziqi's whisper broke through the silent room.
Xiao Ran embraced An Ziqi, and put his lips on An Ziqi's forehead, "Sister, no matter what you decide, I won't blame you."
"Xiao Ran——" An Ziqi kissed Xiao Ran back, her lips slipped from Xiao Ran's cheeks to her lips, teasing with the tip of her tongue, Xiao Ran gently caressed An Ziqi's cheek, with her fingers inserted in her hair, The faint fragrance of jasmine wafts through every part of the room.
Overnight, they didn't talk about that matter, but it seemed that they both knew the answer.The night is long, but they feel so short, embracing, kissing, constantly asking for each other, and while An Ziqi tried her best to satisfy Xiao Ran, she didn't touch Xiao Ran's last film.Xiao Ran was a little disappointed, and even blamed An Ziqi for not loving An Ziqi deeply enough, and An Ziqi also had her own ideas, since she couldn't give Xiao Ran all of herself, why bother to destroy her perfection.
The morning sun woke up Xiao Ran from his sleep, Xiao Ran looked around sleepily, the snow-white sheets and snow-white quilt cover were even more dazzling by the light behind him.Xiao Ran saw the empty bed in front of him, looked back eagerly and saw the familiar figure in front of the sun.
"Are you awake?" The moment Xiao Ran turned around, a gentle voice came from the dazzling sunlight.
"En!" Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes, and saw An Ziqi clearly sitting in the black rocking chair on the balcony.Her hair was loose and she was wrapped in a white nightgown, her tired face was less melancholy.
Xiao Ran sat up and saw a smile on An Ziqi's stern face. She was about to turn sideways when the nightgown at the bottom suddenly slipped off, revealing her smooth and slender thighs.She immediately pulled the nightgown with her hands, and Xiao Ran saw a thin, long snow-white thing between her fingers in the hand near the balcony.
"Do you smoke?" Xiao Ran has never seen An Ziqi smoking, and even said that she hates the smell of cigarettes. Occasionally when she goes out to play, she will cut off the cigarette with a dissatisfied expression when she sees Xiao Bai picking it up. But today , how could she...
An Ziqi smiled slightly, with helplessness and sadness in the smile, and replied lightly: "Occasionally..."
Xiao Ran got up and put on the clothes one by one, turned his back to An Ziqi and asked softly, "When are you leaving?" The words came out lightly, more like a casual question between friends.
An Ziqi crushed out the nearly burnt cigarette in her hand, and also did not look at Xiao Ran, but looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window, and replied, "A week later."
For a week, Xiao Ran didn't go anywhere, didn't go to school, didn't go home, and didn't look for a job again. He just stayed by An Ziqi's side every day. Like usual holidays, he slept and ate together. There was no further mention of An Ziqi's going to find Mo Chen.
Time passed by every minute and every second, passing in plainness and happiness, this week passed just as Xiao Ran expected, the two lived together, there was no quarrel, only laughter, every morning as usual morning run, dinner at night Then go for a leisurely walk on the beach.
An Ziqi would intentionally avoid Xiao Ran every time she packed her luggage, because she didn't know how to face such a situation. She knew that her choice would be cruel to Xiao Ran, but she couldn't control herself from going to Mo morning heart.
An Ziqi left, she didn't ask anyone to see her off.That morning she deliberately dismissed Xiao Ran.Pulling a suitcase alone, he walked out of the "Consort's Mansion", and walked out of the place where the dream began. This place not only carries the dreams of An Ziqi and Mo Chen, but also carries the dream of Xiao Ran. Unfortunately, the dream must be awakened after all.
An Ziqi sat alone in the departure hall of the international airport. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, in the spacious aircraft parking lot, staff in twos and threes were busy.Unknowingly, some people began to sit around An Ziqi, whether it was the blond and blue-eyed exotic, or the yellow-skinned and dark-eyed local crowd, none of them caused An Ziqi to raise his eyes.She sat quietly on the seat without a trace of warmth, and her mind seemed to be much clearer. She closed her eyes, and there was no longer any figure in front of her eyes. "Let's go, no matter what the result is, I only give myself two years to meet or not..." An Ziqi murmured in her heart.
In another place of the international airport, Xiao Ran stood outside the security checkpoint, staring at the people entering the security checkpoint, but her eyes did not seem to be looking for someone. Perhaps, she already knew clearly what she was looking for. It is impossible for people to appear in front of your eyes.
When walking out of the airport, a plane just flew over Xiao Ran's head, Xiao Ran looked up, and whispered to her in the air: "Safe journey——"
☆、A person's day
A gust of cold wind blew by, and I felt lost in my heart.At some point, scattered raindrops fell from the blue sky and white clouds. Xiao Ran looked up at the sky, opened his mouth, and tasted the rain mixed with the bright sunshine with his tongue.Is it sweet?Is it sour?I don't know it, but bitterness flows into my heart.
Driving back to school from the airport, his eyes were covered with layers of mist along the way, and the vehicle in front became hazy. Xiao Ran wiped his eyes with his hands, but it was hazy again before they were wiped dry.
The car intentionally bypassed the "son-in-law's mansion" and drove to the school along a small road. Only now did Xiao Ran realize that he could avoid the "consort's mansion" but not his own memories. The streets and alleys were full of An Ziqi's leftovers. The figure, you can't escape if you want to escape, and you can't hide if you want to hide.
Although it was spring, it was still chilly. When Xiao Ran got out of the car, she shivered, shivered, wrapped her clothes, and walked slowly towards the dormitory.Unfamiliar faces walked by one after another, from the school gate to the dormitory building. This road has been walked countless times, but each time it has never been as long as it is today.
Unknowingly, I walked to the entrance of the art museum, this place that Xiao Ran and Huazi once considered as a place to cleanse the soul, this place was accidentally mentioned by Principal Zeng at the celebration banquet-"She draws very well, our school's There are still her works in the exhibition hall of the art museum..." However, Xiao Ran never came in after her sophomore year, even after knowing that there were An Ziqi's works here, she never came in when she wanted to have a look. Pass.But now I really want to go in and take a look, but unfortunately, the door is open, and the inside is empty, and there is no work, only paint, wood and decoration workers who come in and out.
Pausing in his footsteps, Xiao Ran continued to walk towards the dormitory building with regret and expectation.On the way to the cafeteria, Xiao Ran stopped at the intersection, and the scene where Huazi stopped awkwardly seemed to have happened only yesterday.
"Xiao Ran, I think the food in the canteen today is not bad, why don't we go after eating..."
"What about eggplants and potatoes? I don't want to eat them without any change 365 days a year. They don't even have any oily smell..."
"I, my living expenses for this month are almost spent..."
"That's it? What are you afraid of, don't you still have me! You can hang out with me in the next half month! I promise you to eat and drink well, and you won't take a catty of meat with you..."
"It's not good..."
"From now on we will be good brothers, oh, no, good sisters, I eat bird's nest and shark's fin, you eat with me, I go to the beach to meet girls, you go with me. From now on, we will have the same blessings when……"
"We can eat this meal together, girls can soak together, but we absolutely can't soak together..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneered, looked at the cafeteria not far away, and continued walking forward.
When passing by the central lake, the big banyan tree by the lake has sprouted new shoots.Xiao Ran slowly walked around a banyan tree, and his fingers brushed the trunk inadvertently.A gust of wind blows, and I vaguely hear someone singing, "On the banyan tree by the pond / Cicada is calling for summer / On the swing by the grass / Only butterflies rest on it / The teacher’s chalk on the blackboard / Still chattering desperately Childhood of writing non-stop/waiting for class/waiting for school/waiting for games..." "Childhood"?That's the song they sang together, and it's here too.At that time, they were a group of five, carefree, and the only little worry was how to pass various exams smoothly.However, Xiao Ran is the only one left here now.
Huazi and Han Yaxin have already broken up, Han Yaxin has graduated and left school, and has lost contact with Huazi, while Huazi and Xiao Jingyi have gone to work in Lincheng.There are many versions of Feifei's news in the school. Some people say that her parents let her marry a divorced man in the village with the child in her belly. Some people say that Feifei killed the child secretly and ran away from home. In short, Feifei completely disappeared on the campus as if she had evaporated from the world.And during those four years, she was busy with various part-time jobs every day, and her father's sudden illness before graduation made her already struggling life even worse. She hadn't appeared on campus for many days. I don't know why. I went home to take care of my father, but I still have a new job.
According to An Ziqi's thoughts, Xiaobai and You Meng of the "consort's mansion" have already started to discuss the matter of renting out the "consort's mansion". An Ziqi entrusted this matter to Xiaobai and You Meng before leaving. Dream.At this moment, Mo Chen is gone, An Ziqi is gone, the existence of "Consort's Mansion" seems to be meaningless, and An Ziqi is going abroad to find Mo Chen, and Xiaobai and You Meng are too busy to come to the studio and "Consort's Mansion" "The matter on both sides, not to mention that Xiaobai has never been interested in the "consort's mansion". Instead of opening here and losing money, it is better to rent it out.
Now, Xiao Ran stood under the banyan tree in a daze, looking at the boy who was sitting on a stone bench not far away, playing and singing, the same song, but with a different mood.At this moment, Xiao Ran only felt gloomy, and his heart was empty, as if everyone around him was leaving him one by one.Loneliness, loneliness, loss, helplessness... came one after another, Xiao Ran tried to get up, but was knocked down by the next "wave".As a result, Xiao Ran at this time is hovering between giving up and persevering.There are many times when Xiao Ran really wants to escape and escape to another world... There is no leaving, where you can love as much as you want, where everyone has no past, they are a brand new life, sprouting and growing together , the same root connected, never separated.
However, she couldn't give up, she promised An Ziqi to wait for her to come back, no matter what the result after two years, she would wait.And what her father said to her also made Xiao Ran understand that she must learn to be independent and how to strengthen herself, only in this way can she be a solid backing for her lover.
Xiao Ran looked around in the empty dormitory, the four beds were still the same as when he first came in four years ago, and the only difference was that when he met them for the first time that day, Xiao Ran was the last one. One came in, and only Xiao Ran's bed was empty at that time.And today, the last quilt left here belongs to Xiao Ran, and she became the last person to leave here.Goodbye, Academy of Fine Arts!Goodbye, bedroom 307!Goodbye, dear roommates!
Xiao Ran came out of the dormitory and left the school directly, with the endless sea and the blue sky, how many memories of her there were in this sea, and how many laughter and tears she had under the blue sky.
An Ziqi's departure seemed to have taken away a naive and lovely Xiao Ran, and what remained in this sea area was a Xiao Ran who was more stable, less reckless, more sad, and less joyful.
Driving all the way home, the trees on the side of the road kept pushing back, and Xiao Ran overtook one car after another.In a few days, it seems that many things have changed, obviously they are still congratulating for the purchase of the store, and suddenly the plaque of "Consort's Mansion" is about to come down; they are still planning to live with An Ziqi, and suddenly they are two There is a time difference between black and white; a group of people are still immersed in the joy of traveling, and all of a sudden the building is empty... And all these changes, at the moment when Xiao Ran opened the door of the house, it seemed that there was no difference. change.
"Ran Ran, you're back! Go wash your hands and prepare to eat! Your father will be back soon." Mother Ran, with an apron on her waist and a spatula in her hand, poked her head out of the kitchen and said lovingly to Xiao Ran .
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded to her mother. Ran's mother only felt that her daughter was a little abnormal today, but only for a moment, and immediately went to work on dinner again.
Xiao Ran washed her hands and stood beside her mother, and asked softly, "Mom, what are you eating today?"
Mother put the dishes on the plate and said: "There are fish, vegetables, and your favorite ribs. By the way, when you came home last time, didn't you say you wanted to eat "Three Cups of Duck"? Mom deliberately checked the recipe on the Internet, you can try it to see if it tastes good..."
Xiao Ran only felt his head buzzing, and could no longer hear what Ran's mother said behind him.She turned her back and pretended to grab the bowls and chopsticks, biting her lower lip with her teeth. "Three Cups of Duck" was mentioned by Xiao Ran inadvertently the last time I came home. It was the day Ran's father and Xiao Ran had a heart-to-heart talk. Xiao Ran missed An Ziqi that night and remembered too many things related to her. Thinking that he and Huazi were scrambling to eat the "Three Cups of Duck" made by An Ziqi, he unconsciously blurted out the name of this dish, but unexpectedly, his mother wrote it down...
"Ran Ran, eat first if you're hungry! Your dad just called back to say that there is a traffic jam on the road, and he may be late home." Ran's mother put the last dish on the table.
Xiao Ran followed her mother with soup, and said in a gentle voice: "Mom, I'm not hungry, let's eat together when my father comes back!"
Mother was taken aback, and then a gratified smile appeared on her face.
In my impression, it was the first time that the mother and daughter sat at the dining table and waited for their father to come home for dinner. Instead of Xiao Ran eating alone, Ran's mother sat on the side, watching Xiao Ran eat while waiting for Ran's father.The mother and daughter chatted casually, and the time didn't feel slow. During the period, when the mother knew that the father was coming home, she went to heat up the meal again.
The food was served for the second time, and Ran's father also came back. As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Ran greeted him. He naturally took his father's backpack, and put the slippers at his father's feet. Ran's father was also startled. The same smile as Ran's mother surfaced.
The family of three sat around the dining table, Xiao Ran thought of An Ziqi again at this time, and remembered the scene of the four of them sitting around eating the New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.However, looking up at the parents in front of him, the father was casually chatting about the company's trivial matters, and the mother listened patiently, expressing her own opinions from time to time.This scene is exactly the same as before Xiao Ran went to college. Nearly four years have passed, and Xiao Ran seems to have changed into a different Xiao Ran. However, his parents are still the parents of four years ago, and his home is still the same as his home four years ago.
When Xiao Ran's meal was halfway through, during the gap between his parents' conversation, Xiao Ran looked at his father, and said firmly in his expectant eyes: "Dad, I want to work in your company, okay?"
Ran's father didn't see any surprise on his face, he didn't stop eating, and with the same gentle smile, he naturally said to his daughter, "Okay! When do you plan to start working?"
"The sooner the better."
"Then come with me tomorrow morning!"
"Okay!" Xiao Ran continued to bow his head to eat after answering, and said in a low voice after a while, "Thank you, Dad!"
☆, hometown
The sparkling sun shone on the sea, and dozens of speedboats shuttled across the sea at high speed. The blue sky and white clouds were the same as before, but there were countless flying umbrellas floating in the air. The young man was driving a beach motorcycle, carrying beautiful A woman hurried past the tourists, and two groups of middle-aged men stood on both sides of the net, waving their arms, trying their best to fight for their skills.In front of the tent on the other side, the children were laughing and chasing after each other. The adults set up the barbecue pit, some were in charge of lighting the fire, and some were preparing the food...
It has been almost two years, and everything here has changed, but it has not changed, because the sea is still there, and the blue house is still there.Xiao Ran stopped in front of this house, and now it is no longer called "Seven Son-in-law's Mansion". The new boss changed it into a youth hostel, welcoming and sending people who come here to travel.Not long after An Ziqi left, Xiaobai rented out the place. The only condition for renting the house was that the exterior color of the house and the hand-painted paintings could not be changed.At first Xiao Ran thought it was what An Ziqi meant, but later he realized it was Xiaobai's own decision. Xiao Ran asked Xiaobai why?Xiao Bai still casually said that she likes this color and that painting.Is it really just for this simple reason?Or did Xiaobai want to help An Ziqi leave something behind?
Xiao Ran walked up the steps slowly, and pushed open the blue wooden shutter door. This was the first time Xiao Ran came back here in two years, because there was no longer the person she was looking forward to here, and it would only be a long time coming back. Add a bit of touch to the scene.Now that the two-year deadline is getting closer, the anticipation in his heart is becoming more and more obvious. Back here, back to this familiar place, Xiao Ran couldn't find a reason, but came here involuntarily following his heart.
The moment the door is pushed open, the white and blue style is still there, but the layout has changed a lot.As soon as Xiao Ran approached the front desk, the strange young man at the front desk said to Xiao Ran gently: "Hello! Welcome!"
"Hello!" Xiao Ran nodded, then looked up and looked around, and saw An Ziqi and Xiao Bai's bedroom on the second floor at a glance. The original living room was opened, and the "invisible door" no longer existed. The bedroom door is naturally revealed.Xiao Ran pointed to An Ziqi's room upstairs, and said to the young man at the front desk, "Stay for one night, can you give me the room with murals on the second floor?"
The young man was startled, and looked at Xiao Ran in surprise. After a while, he replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss! That room is not open to the public."
Xiao Ran frowned, looked at the young man, and asked, "Why?".
"This is the boss's rule. I don't know the details. I'm really sorry! Can I change you to another room?" The young man explained politely.
Xiao Ran paused, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, is the one next to it okay?" The young man looked at the computer screen and tentatively asked Xiao Ran.
"Beside..." Xiao Ran looked up at Xiaobai's room, pointed at that room, and asked, "Is that room?"
The young man nodded, "Yes, can you see that one?"
"it is good."
When passing by An Ziqi's room, Xiao Ran stroked the door lightly, and tried to turn the handle again. Just as the young man said, the room is locked.Xiao Ran quietly pushed open the door next to him, Xiaobai's bedroom had been changed by the shop owner, completely lost the taste of the past.
Standing on the balcony of the bedroom, Xiao Ran looked at the sea outside the window. The familiar scenery now added more laughter from tourists. Xiao Ran looked at the scene in front of him out of focus, and murmured: " It's been almost two years, and you have traveled to so many cities following her footsteps, are you going to come back now? Sister, I...I miss you..."
For two years, An Ziqi was chasing the marriage route that she and Mo Chen had set. No matter where An Ziqi went, she would tell Xiao Ran and say she was safe.And Xiao Ran never asked An Ziqi if he found Mo Chen, and wanted to speak many times, but swallowed it back abruptly.Maybe she was afraid of getting the answer she didn't want to hear, which cut off her expectation, Xiao Ran just silently stayed with An Ziqi on the other side of the network, on the other side of the phone, like a friend separated by two places, appropriately Greetings, caring appropriately.Coincidentally, An Ziqi never mentioned the matter of Mo Chen, and responded to Xiao Ran with the same words.
The blue sky outside the glass window was gradually covered with purple clouds. Many people set up their cameras and waited for the moment of sunset.Standing in front of the window, Xiao Ran seemed to see the couple in the painting in front of her eyes. They embraced quietly and watched the beautiful moment.In a trance, the sea slowly changed from golden yellow to night, and the sea was also invaded by darkness.
Xiao Ran returned to the house, opened the laptop, and countless unread emails jumped out. Xiao Ran opened each email one by one, read it carefully, and replied skillfully.After two years of hard work, Xiao Ran has taken over most of the company's affairs. Ran's father often praised Xiao Ran in front of Ran's mother as a good seed for doing business. Who knows how much effort Xiao Ran has put in behind everyone's backs.She often works day and night, and sometimes she goes to the hospital with clients, which makes her slim figure even thinner. When her parents asked her, she only said that she was losing weight recently .Seeing it, her mother felt pain in her heart, and often made Xiao Ran something she liked to eat, but Xiao Ran always had no time to come back to eat because of work.Moreover, he was afraid that his mother would be tired, so he hired a nanny for the family to take care of his parents.
After Xiao Ran sent the last email, she stretched her waist and moved her stiff neck from side to side a few times. Only then did she realize that it was already dawn, and pale white light shone in from the glass window, occupying every corner, giving the room a The door was painted a dreamy white.Xiao Ran got up and walked towards the balcony, the eastern sky was dyed rosy, and the lazy sun was trying to break through the clouds to reveal it. "Xiao Ran! Go and see if the sun is still in the east?" Xiao Ran recalled An Ziqi's joke once again, and Xiao Ran replied silently, "It's still in the east..." Immediately, a smile involuntarily formed on the corner of his mouth.
"Sister, I still owe you a sunrise! When will you come back..." Xiao Ran's smile gradually became flat, and there was no smile on his face, leaving only infinite longing.
Xiao Ran, who hadn't slept all night, lay on the bed with his clothes on, perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep quickly.A familiar figure appeared in the phantom white in the dream, An Ziqi was dressed in white with her back facing the sun, and slowly walked towards Xiao Ran, she radiated light like an angel.Xiao Ran stretched out his arms to hug An Ziqi, but only the white dream remained in his arms.
It was almost noon after waking up from the dream, Xiao Ran got up and got out of bed, packed her things, and when she walked out of the room with her backpack, she was surprised to find that the door of An Ziqi's bedroom was open.Xiao Ran was startled, then walked in slowly, and saw that the decoration inside was the same as usual, the murals on the beach, the white sheets, the black and white style... Xiao Ran looked in front of him in amazement, but was caught by the person behind him in a daze. The voice trembled with fear.
"Hi! Can I help you?" Xiao Ran looked back and saw a young girl standing there with a rag and a broom in her hand.
"Oh...no, I just came in to take a look." Xiao Ran responded hastily.
"Sorry, this room is not open to the public." The girl explained tactfully.
Xiao Ran nodded and backed out. When he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "Can I take a photo here?"
The girl frowned, showing some embarrassment, Xiao Ran approached the girl, and added: "I am a friend of the landlord."
In this way, Xiao Ran chatted with the girl. During the chat, Xiao Ran knew that this youth hostel was jointly opened by her and a few friends. At first, she heard Xiaobai asked to keep the painting, out of curiosity about the painting. , and inquired about the story behind the painting. Later, she became more and more curious about the protagonist of the story, and she was especially protective of the painting and the room.The girl locked An Ziqi's room so that no one would come in and mess it up. Every morning, she would open the door herself, ventilate it, and wipe the dust off.
Xiao Ran was very moved by the girl's dedication, and thanked her for protecting An Ziqi's room, but the girl didn't take it seriously, her natural smile was bright.
With a sound of "cha--", the girl opened the curtains, and the sunlight came in from the window, shining on the hand-painted painting, making it even more dazzling.Standing in front of the painting, Xiao Ran stared blankly at God, and involuntarily caressed the back of the girl in the painting.The girl was only surprised by Xiao Ran's abnormality for a moment, and immediately seemed to understand something, quietly exited the room, and did not forget to close the door behind her before going out.
I don't know how long it took before Xiao Ran, who was squatting in front of the painting, slowly got up. He always felt that something was missing in the room, but he couldn't think of what it was.Looking around, she accidentally saw something under the bed. She leaned forward, stretched her hand under the bed, and pulled out a triangular bag. "Roller skates..." Xiao Ran blinked, and suddenly thought of the time she counted the hobbies she had taken for An Ziqi with her fingers. Among the many hobbies, An Ziqi only picked out roller skating, and they even made an appointment to go skating together. Roller skating, but after so many years, no one mentioned it again.Xiao Ran didn't expect to see An Ziqi's roller skates here today, Xiao Ran always felt that this seemed to indicate something, but he couldn't tell what it was.Xiao Ran wiped the dust on the shoe bag with the rag left by the girl, and the moment she walked out of the room with her roller skates in her arms, Xiao Ran took a deep breath, only to realize that the faint scent of jasmine was missing here.
When he walked downstairs, Xiao Ran saw the girl talking to a young man, and when he saw Xiao Ran coming down, he smiled and nodded to her, Xiao Ran returned the same salute, and walked out of the shop reflecting the bright afternoon sun Door.Putting the roller skates in the car, when Xiao Ran looked back, it was as if the night here last night was like a dream, and he went back to the past as if traveling through time and space, the days when he was with An Ziqi day and night.
"LADYLADYONEMORETRY/Try to understand my love again/I can't express my emotion/The helplessness of choosing to be friends/LADYLADYONEMORETRY/Remind me when to go away/As long as you think of it occasionally/I live in that sea..." The same ringtone as An Ziqi's came from Xiao Ran's cell phone, Xiao Ran came back to his senses, and went to get the cell phone.
"mom!"
"Ran Ran, where have you been? The meal is almost ready, when will you be home?"
"Mom, I'm going back now."
……
☆, goodbye
It was only a week before the two-year appointment, and Xiao Ran was living her life step by step, with no trace of emotion visible on her calm face.As for the calendar card standing on the desk, the date of the 29th has already been marked countless times by Xiao Ran.
During the afternoon break, Xiao Ran took out An Ziqi's roller skates as usual, and walked to the backyard of the company.Wearing sportswear, Xiao Ran looked even more heroic. Xiao Ran tightened his roller skates, and glides lightly in the courtyard, circling the center of the courtyard round and round.With An Ziqi's roller skates under her feet, there is always an illusion of flying with An Ziqi, the fusion of mind and body is nothing more than this!
The mobile phone not far away suddenly rang, and the familiar music woke up Xiao Ran who was intoxicated in his own world. Xiao Ran slid over, picked up the mobile phone, and the number of the company's front desk was displayed on the screen.
"President Xiao, someone at the front desk is looking for you without an appointment, but..."
Xiao Ran's mind froze, he suddenly realized something, and was about to run to the company building with his mobile phone in his hand, forgetting that he was still wearing roller skates, he staggered and knelt down on the ground.Her muffled "Ah—" made the girl on the other side of the phone ask in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ran got up from the ground, and replied in a light tone: "It's okay, I'll go back right away, you let her wait for me there."
Xiao Ran held roller skates in one hand, and his knees were still stained with dust that could not be shaken off. He ran into the office building with a slightly embarrassed look. Through a glass door, Xiao Ran stopped and looked at the familiar man inside the glass door. His back, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
The woman inside the glass door is wearing a white shirt, the collar of the shirt is turned out over the medium gray sweater, the sleeves are pulled up casually below the elbow joints, a pair of black harem pants and a pair of retro Martin boots reveal a She has a capable expression, a high bun, a graceful figure, simple clothes, and a charming temperament.All of this is so familiar, as if returning to the scene when I first met An Ziqi...
"Sister—" Xiao Ran pushed open the glass door, and at the same time, a slightly trembling gentle voice came out.
An Ziqi turned around slowly, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.An Ziqi was surprised when she saw the roller skates in Xiao Ran's hands, and then saw Xiao Ran's dirty body, she frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ran shook her head, the corners of her mouth were closed, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, she didn't care about replying, she took her sister's wrist and walked to her office.
With a sound of "咚——", the office door closed, and Xiao Ran locked the door behind him.The roller skates fell to the ground, An Ziqi was already hugged by Xiao Ran, and An Ziqi's kiss fell hard on Xiao Ran's lips.Tongue-to-tongue entanglement seemed unable to resolve the two people's longing at this moment, Xiao Ran's lips slid down An Ziqi's neck all the way, and holding An Ziqi's waist with his hands, he led her to the sofa.While lying down, Xiao Ran rubbed off An Ziqi's collar, buried her head in An Ziqi's chest, and kept kissing and nibbling.
The sudden ringing of the phone startled the two distraught people on the sofa, Xiao Ran pretended not to hear and continued to ask for An Ziqi, while An Ziqi put her cheeks in her arms with both hands, whispering softly Authentic: "Hey, go answer the phone
