Let go of the past

The phone buzzed and a new message flashed on the screen.

Ji Bing looked away from the projection screen in front of him, glanced at it, and ignored it.

As if sensing something, the phone buzzed several times, and the message popped up frantically like a flood.

He reached over, flipped the phone over and put it on the table, deceiving his ears.

At the end of the meeting, Ji Bing took the lead out of the conference room. After walking a certain distance, he lowered his head to unlock his phone and checked the WeChat messages of Feifan Yingtian.

Li Ru: [picture]

Li Ru: Damn, these two people are on the hot search, are they you and Li Ziqing?

Li Ru: What are you two doing? ? ? ? ?

Li Ru: Bai Lisheng couldn't get through the phone, did he block me?

Li Ru: Bai Lisheng, the most popular search, came out of the closet. Scroll down to a paragraph, and the multi-kinky guys break up and tear each other online, and stage a male-female Qiongyao scene.At the center of the storm, Li Ziqing, I never thought he would have the potential to be a beauty!

Li Ru: Damn no one cares about me. I called Li Ziqing and he hung up on me. I shouldn't be in debt!

Li Ru: ...

Li Ru: Damn, I went to a meeting.

Li Ru: A group of wine bags and rice bags, I will be called in for meetings and conferences. If I do everything by myself, why pay them to do it?

Li Ru: Can you call me back? ? ? ? ?

Ji Bing: It's just acting.

Ji Bing replied succinctly and concisely, and cut out to read other news, but the other party replied in seconds.

Li Ru: I sent a lot of shit, how many words will you give me back?

Li Ru: What play?Are you two ready to break into showbiz?Do you want to make a combination PK Legend of Phoenix?

Ji Bing: Legend of the Phoenix is ​​about singing, not acting

Li Ru: Actually picked up the thread, there is an inexplicable sense of long-term familiarity...

Li Ru: Did you remember something?

Ji Bing: Some Fragmentary Memories

Li Ru: ... What are you?An ambulance comes when someone dies?

Ji Bing put away his mobile phone, walked through the long glass corridor without looking sideways, and walked towards the office.

He did remember something, on the day Li Ziqing completely left him, an indescribable pain gushed out from his heart, stimulating his brain to take remedial measures in response.Dusty memories can't be kept in prison, and the auspicious feathers of the past are condensed into shape. Some frozen pictures flash back in my mind like a lantern, but I can't grasp them anyway. I can only watch them disappear and hide again.

He pushed open the office door, went around the desk and sat back on the chair. The desk calendar on the desk was flipped by a strong wind blown by the door opening. Ji Bing glanced unconsciously, but the next second, his gaze froze.

He didn't know when, and what kind of mood he was in, he specially circled a personal schedule reminder with a pen, next month's No. 16, Li Ziqing's birthday.

"Ziqing." Liang Anni chased into the elevator, with a clear and pleasant voice like a lark, and asked him with concern: "You took a week off last week, and when you came back, you lost weight again. Are you sick?"

Li Ziqing withdrew the hand that helped her block the elevator door, and said calmly: "Something happened at home."

"Is it important?" Liang Anni asked.

Li Ziqing smiled and shook his head, "It's all right."

"Hey, that's good." Liang Anni put the handbag in the crook of his arm, untied his ponytail, straightened his big waves in front of the elevator's reflective mirror, took out his lipstick and patched it up, and turned his head to face Li Ziqing blinked: "How is it?"

"very beautiful."

A pair of dimples appeared on Liang Anni's cheeks, and he said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

The two of them walked out of the office building side by side, and a burst of overwhelming water vapor hit their faces, but it was cool and pleasant, wrapped in the breath of green grass in early summer.

"Yeah, it's raining." Liang Anni flipped through her bag and said in frustration, "...forgot to bring my umbrella." She turned her head to look at Li Ziqing, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise, "You didn't drive today. ?”

"It's open." Li Ziqing said: "It was late in the morning, so it just stopped on the ground." He looked at the misty drizzle, and said to Liang Anni: "It's raining, let me see you off."

"No, no, no." With a sweet expression on Liang Anni's face, she waved her hand and refused: "My boyfriend is here to pick me up." She took out her mobile phone to check the time, and said to Li Ziqing with a smile, "I'll be there soon. I It’s because you didn’t bring an umbrella, and I wanted to use it for you, it’s usually in your bag, but you didn’t bring it when you needed it.”

Li Ziqing asked quite unexpectedly: "Have you got a boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Liang Anni frowned, "I just met at the last concert. Didn't it rain heavily when the concert ended? We grabbed a taxi, and we were in the same neighborhood when we asked, and we joined each other in the car." Wechat, chatting gradually, we feel pretty good with each other, we are together."

"Very good." Li Ziqing said sincerely.

"Hey," Liang Anni smiled innocently, her usual eloquent tongue seemed to have lost some of its edges and corners, and became sweet and quiet.

"You have to hurry up." People immersed in happiness always hope to convey this happiness and happiness to friends and partners around them. Liang Anni looked at Li Ziqing and said sincerely: "Hurry up and find someone to take care of you." Whether it’s weakness or armor, two people are together and share the joys and sorrows together, it’s better than having to stand alone when it’s difficult.”

Li Ziqing nodded and smiled faintly: "Okay."

"I'm leaving." A car stopped in front of the steps with double flashing lights, the door opened, and a fat, medium-tall young man came out holding an umbrella. Liang Anni walked down the steps on small high heels. In the middle of the journey, he raised the umbrella to the top of her head, with an indelible tenderness hidden in his eyes, but he complained: "Wait for me to pick you up, it's still raining."

"It's not too big." Liang Anni was wearing high heels, almost as tall as him, took the umbrella from him, and said in a happy and sweet tone: "You are making too much of a fuss." After she finished speaking, suddenly Remembering that Li Ziqing was still standing behind her, she turned her head and made a gesture to hand him the umbrella in her hand: "Ziqing, this is my boyfriend, and I will lend you the umbrella."

Liang Anni's boyfriend looked over generously, and greeted Li Ziqing with a smile: "Hello."

"Hello." Li Ziqing smiled back, and waved at Liang Anni, "No, it's only a few steps away, you guys go, goodbye."

"Let's go then, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Li Ziqing walked quickly to the car against the gradually dense drizzle, opened the door and sat in, the air was filled with dampness, he reached out to turn on the air conditioner to dehumidify, and then sneezed firmly.

Outside the car window, the rain became heavier in an instant, and the spring thunder could be vaguely heard from the sky. Vehicles began to drive out of the garage of the office building one after another, rushing into the main road of the city, heading in the direction of homes in all directions go ahead.

Li Ziqing leaned back on the driver's seat, turned on the wipers to clean the front window glass, and stared at the doll hanging in the car without wind for a long while, then reached out to take it off, and opened the car door to throw away the garbage not far away. into the bucket, but stopped halfway, turned around and opened the drawer of the co-pilot, and put the doll in.

The co-pilot seat was empty, and there would no longer be such a person who suddenly reached out and grabbed the doll, and then said to him with a look of disgust, "It's so ugly."

When Ji Bing drove up to the ground, he realized that it was raining outside. The rain continued to rain heavily, and the whole city was gradually filled with water vapor, blurring into colorful phantoms in front of the camera.

Pedestrians lowered their heads to avoid the heavy rain, and ran hurriedly on the roadside and street corners. Vehicles blocked every intersection. Everyone was eager to return, and everyone had their own destination.He turned the reverse wheel, merged the car into the line, and waited nonchalantly.

The mobile phone placed on the dashboard fell into a rare silence. Ji Bing stared at the pitch-black screen for a while, then reached out to take it, opened WeChat with ease, and clicked into Li Ziqing's dialog box.

The last conversation stopped more than two months ago. Li Ziqing asked him: Do you want to eat beef brisket stewed with potatoes tonight?

What he replied was: not going back at night.

No reply since.

He even forgot where he went that night, who would remember?

Because there have been countless nights like this over the past three years.

For so many countless nights, Li Ziqing guarded the big house alone, silently until dawn in the darkness and silence, what was he thinking in his heart?

Li Ziqing turned off the air conditioner, started the car, and the real-time road conditions displayed on the navigation system showed that all the avenues were bustling. Instead of sitting here and waiting for the rain to subside, it is better to be able to walk for a while in the traffic jam.

The car drove a few streets, turned onto the overpass, turned half a circle, then went down to the opposite ground, stopped at the intersection of the city's transportation hub, and waited for the countdown to the red light ahead.

Ji Bing drove out of the narrow and crowded side road, onto the wide street, stepped on the gas pedal halfway, the luxury supercar roared into the wide intersection, barely stopped, and waited for the green light to appear.

The rain has subsided a little, and the water-logged road shatters into pieces of mirror glass, reflecting the bright lights of the city into bumpy lumps, false and real, true and false.

At the front of the reverse lane on the opposite side of the road, a white Camry with flashing headlights was vaguely seen, parked there and looked at him from a distance.

After a long wait, the red light finally switched to green. The two vehicles at the front on opposite sides started first and came towards each other. They passed each other in the central area of ​​the wide intersection, and then turned their backs towards their respective lanes. Destination, drifting away.
