across winter

Extra

Xu Sihang has been very busy recently, and one of the most distressing things is Meng Xiao.

Less than half a year after returning to Beijing, he and Zhou Zhining got together again, and now they are a serious couple.

But Xu Sihang was so happy that he forgot that he still had a house in Changbai where he lived for five years. Although it was only a suite in Mengxiao Inn, he lived there for five years...

He actually forgot about this matter!After all, it is masculinity that misleads others.

Meng Xiao was like a prodigal son, even Xu Sihang couldn't contact him, he was the one who contacted Xu Sihang every time.A few days ago, when I went upstairs to buy vegetables, I accidentally saw the postman deliver a letter to my post box.

Xu Sihang was also puzzled, thinking it was sent to Zhou Zhining by someone else, but when he picked it up, the recipient: Xu Sihang.

Sender: Meng Xiao.

However, the address is still Changbai, and it should have been mailed half a month ago. Xu Sihang glanced back and forth guiltily, seeing that no one took the letter home.

After taking it home, he quickly locked the door. Although he knew that Zhou Zhining must be at work at this time, he was not afraid of [-] or just in case. He didn't know how to explain to Zhou Zhining that he was going to Changbai...but after thinking about it, he explained it before... But what about the letters he wrote?

Xu Sihang opened the letter, and Meng Xiao's handwriting was as chic as his own, so chic that Xu Sihang couldn't understand it. He finally read it together: Meng Xiao told him to go back and pack his things, and attached his new letter. Wechat, said that you can use this to contact him, and one more thing is that Meng Xiao hasn't walked past the inn since he left.

This surprised Xu Sihang.

So now he is very confused, how to tell Zhou Zhining...

It's hard to say.

At this time, the director called him again. The new play he was preparing was going to start tomorrow. Xu Sihang agreed with his head drooping.

------

Xu Sihang was driven there by Zhou Zhining himself. Coincidentally, Zhou Zhining was on vacation and Xu Sihang was at work. Although it was only one morning, the two of them were going to visit Lama Temple in the afternoon.

Zhou Zhining wanted to wait for Xu Sihang somewhere, but Xu Sihang had been restless these days and was a little cautious. How could Zhengchou tell Zhou Zhining? He didn't even dare to see him, so he pushed him back home.

Zhou Zhining had no choice but to drive home.When the time comes, wait for him to come back directly.

Didn't this just arrive at the door of the house, there was a cardboard box blocking the door, Zhou Zhining didn't even need to look at it, it was definitely their house, after all, there were two households on the first floor, opposite him, and this was Xu Sihang.

And he knows that Xu Sihang is very lazy, and every time he will be sent directly...

Needless to say, it's still a bit heavy to hold, but overall it's still very light.

Zhou Zhining walked in and sat cross-legged on the carpet to unpack the package.

This is Xu Sihang's courier, he took a look, the sender is in Changbai?What needs to be delivered in Changbai?Zhou Zhining frowned and thought, if he opened it, he would know.

Zhou Zhining scraped off the plastic seal with a utility knife, was it a bit tight?He found that the bottom seems to be easier to dismantle?So I started from the ground and cut a big opening, and the khaki envelopes inside, like snowflakes, fell one by one to the ground.Sitting on the ground, Zhou Zhining was a little puzzled, but picked up a sheet, and the recipient and sender were neatly filled out on it.

Recipient: Zhou Zhining, Sender: Xu Sihang.

The ink on the nib is so heavy that it seeps into the inside of the envelope.

There was no time and signature outside, so Zhou Zhining had to open the letter and read it one by one.

2017.1.27

Zhining, how are you?I am fine.

Today's Changbai is cloudy, but it's really cold, with a minimum temperature of -23°C.

I used to feel cold when I was in Beijing, but it really doesn't matter when I come here.I used to tell you that I wanted to come to Changbai, but didn't you think that I really came to Changbai in the end, but I was alone.

But it's okay to be alone.

I just miss you a little bit.

The snow in Changbai is really too big. I used to go skiing often, but now I dare not.

One is the fear of snow blindness, and the other is the fear of getting lost.If you get lost and really can't come back, will you still miss me?

Occasionally think of it, Zhining?

The flags in Meng Xiao’s inn were whizzed by the heavy snow day and night, and I always think it’s a miracle that they are still hanging there finely.

Oh, yes, I didn't mention Meng Xiao to you. This is a man I'm very close to. He opened an inn in Changbai. He travels outside every day, and I collect the bills for him.

But I've also been writing screenplays.

Ah, I'm so sleepy, it's late at night.

Sleeping, Zhining, I miss you very much.

Zhou Zhining was silent, and he opened another one:

2017.8.17

Zhining, this is the first time I saw so many people coming to Changbai.

There were also a lot of people who came and performed, sang, and held long banners that said, "We're here to pick you up."

The business of the inn is so good that almost every room is full of people.When I looked over, I saw that they were all young and invincible students. In fact, there were also students who were about my age, and I had just graduated.

I know what they are here for, because I used to like to read a book called "Tomb Raider's Notes", but this author really has too many pitfalls to fill... I probably understand their feelings, right?

It is already 11.38 in the middle of the night, and there are still people coming back one after another. I propped my chin in front of the counter while writing to you to accommodate them.

Why don't you read this book?Why don't you like the characters in it?

If you know this book and like the characters in this book, you will definitely come here, right?

Well, so many assumptions just because I miss you, but you should sleep?

Good night, Zhining.

Zhou Zhining pursed his lips, opened a letter in silence, finished writing, and plastic-packed the letters that hadn't been mailed. Many of the snow-white A4 papers were yellowed and looked a little brittle.

He stroked the handwriting on it, always feeling that the scene of Xu Sihang writing the letter was right in front of him.He pinched his brows with his hands, tried his best to suppress his sadness and sorrow, and tears fell silently on the carpet.

Zhou Zhining bit his lip and didn't let himself speak.

He tidied up the boxes and put them in the utility room, but unexpectedly found another small box. He didn't think it was a surprise before, because it was there when he came.

Zhou Zhining was like a ghost, and he opened them together today, one letter after another, each letter was exactly the same, and the date on it moved back day by day. During the thousands of days they were apart, he was like Like the wind in Changbai, there is no day without thoughts that don't whizz by.

Will the swan geese in the north pass through Beijing from Changbai one day, and bring his thoughts to him?

Zhou Zhining didn't know.I don't know about Changbai's wind.

------

Zhou Zhining didn't say anything, and Xu Sihang didn't ask either.

It wasn't until Meng Xiao sent him a WeChat message a few days later, asking if he had received the box of letters, that he began to realize that something was wrong.

He asked Zhou Zhining insincerely, did you see a courier?

Zhou Zhining glanced at him quietly, and said, "I've seen them all."

Xu Sihang only felt flushed and extremely ashamed...

Zhou Zhining sighed and put his arms around his shoulders, "During the 1826 days you were away, I also missed you very much."

The next day, Zhou Zhining and Xu Sihang boarded the plane to Changbai.
