River Breeze Night Sparrow

Lin Qiu often recalled what Liu Dongyue said to him that night, so that when Wang Shiran asked about his recent dreams again, he realized that he often dreamed of Liu Dongyue's painting.

"Dream of a very weird painting? But Mr. Lin Qiu, I don't think what you are having is a nightmare."

Lin Qiu was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Not a nightmare."

Because at the end of the dream, Jiang Yi's figure will always appear.He resolutely walked over from a bright place, as if he was attracted to the light, all around him were bright.A gentle flame danced in his chest, wrapping Lin Qiu up without hesitation—so warm, so warm.

Wang Shiran lowered his head to write and draw in his notebook. "Mr. Lin Qiu, according to my observation, your mental state has been very stable recently, and your previous situation has gradually started to improve. Do you know the reason?"

Lin Qiu lightly shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe time can really dilute everything."

Wang Shiran continued to write and draw. "It's already July, is your mood stable this year?"

It's July, and the anniversary of Su Ting's death is approaching.In July of previous years, he would have nightmares more frequently, as if Su Ting would never let him go.But with the passage of time, perhaps even the most painful scars will heal silently. Before, he even avoided talking about Su Ting completely, but gradually, he began to dare to face it.Two months ago, he went to visit Su Ting's grave.On the anniversary of his death this year, maybe he will go back and have a look.

"I feel... I seem to be getting better." Lin Qiu said softly.

After leaving Wang Shiran's clinic, Lin Qiu drove home.Passing by Star Plaza, he remembered that Su Xiaoya likes desserts very much, so he went to LadyM to pick up some cakes.

Su Xiaoya is preparing for the final exam recently.He left a message on the landline of Su Xiaoya's school district apartment, put the cake in the refrigerator, and wrote a concise note at the same time.He looked up at the time, it was almost five o'clock, Lin Qiu left in fear of bumping into Su Xiaoya coming home from school.

"The cake in the refrigerator will be finished early. If you are free on the 28th, we will go back to Green Mountain together."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Xiaoya returned home embarrassed and exhausted.She took off her high heels while talking on the phone. "Uncle Wang, you are so bad, and you are making fun of others again. I am very happy today~ But I haven't gone to school for a long time, and I will go to school tomorrow, I will go out with you next time I have a chance~ Uncle Wang is such a nice person , my friends must also like to play with you~"

She walked in barefoot, wanting to open the refrigerator and drink some ice water.Seeing the note on the refrigerator sticker, I couldn't help but fall silent.

"...Hey, oh, Uncle Wang, no, maybe the signal was not very good just now. Then let's do this first~ Xiaoya will miss you too! Goodbye."

Su Xiaoya hung up the phone.She carefully took the note off the refrigerator, looked at it again and again, and put it in her diary like a buried treasure.

She sat alone at the table and ate all the matcha mille-feuille cakes, strawberry sponge cake, and sea salt caramel mille-feuille, leaving only a whole mango tart cake.

She quietly looked at the golden and attractive pastry, holding her chin, observing for a long time.She couldn't help falling into her own whimsy, imagining that Lin Qiu was sitting opposite her, and her mother was sitting next to her, both of them looked at her with their eyebrows bent and smiled, a very kind and loving smile. .

Su Xiaoya couldn't help laughing, she picked up the fork, and tasted the cake very carefully, bite by bite, bite by bite, as if tasting the most delicious thing in the world.

She ate the cake slowly as if she couldn't bear it, then sat and waited for a while, scratched her arm, and when her body started to itch, she moved to the side of the phone and called 120.

"Hey, sister, hello, I accidentally ate some mangoes, and now I'm allergic... Mmm, I live in..."

After Liu Dongyue's accident, Mr. Jiang was also very disappointed.When Jiang Yi is not busy, he often goes home to visit the old man.When people are old and in a bad mood, they are prone to lethargy. When Mr. Jiang is sleeping, Jiang Yi stays in the study.

The book "Dark Night of Human Nature" was distributed by everyone in the bureau when the unit organized a lecture.He liked to watch it for a while, and watched it several times.But he remembered that he should put it away.I haven't seen it for a long time, shouldn't it be on the top?The last time I read it should be "On Human Nature", but Jiang Yi moved several books to find it.

But Jiang Yi didn't pay attention to this matter, because he also threw the things in the study randomly.He flipped through "On Human Nature", and turned to the place he read last time, because a page was folded here.He felt very puzzled, he didn't have the habit of folding books... There should be a bookmark last time.

Could it be that Lin Qiu also read this book?

... I don't know where that bookmark is, and I don't know if Lin Qiu saw it.Jiang Yi clicked his tongue, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of photos from it. They were all developed and printed from the same photo. He took out one and put it back in the book.

The scene of taking this photo is still very clear in Jiang Yi's mind.

Jiang Yi wants to be a criminal police officer, and likes to run laps on the playground after class every day.His cultural achievements are actually very good. According to the economic strength of the Jiang family, if Jiang Yi is directly asked to apply for a foreign university, he can apply to a world-renowned school and earn face for high school.But Jiang Yi insisted on going his own way, and the more he persuaded, the more rebellious he became. Sometimes he didn't go to class, so he ran to the playground to stay.

He went to the doctor in a hurry, and even the intern Lin Qiu was sent to persuade Jiang Yi.

At that time, it was the school sports meeting.At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were no special events on the playground, only the high jump and long jump competitions in the distance were still in full swing.

Jiang Yi was stopped by Lin Qiu just after the third lap.This young teacher with delicate features made Jiang Yi feel very kind and friendly, so his rebellious heart was greatly reduced.

They sat together in the playground auditorium, hiding from the sun.Jiang Yi poured a bottle of mineral water with a "gudong gudong" and shouted "Shuang", Lin Qiu whispered: "The lung capacity is really good."

Jiang Yi boldly wiped his mouth: "Lung capacity is still better, so the kissing time is longer!"

Lin Qiu was silent, Jiang Yi laughed and rubbed his head: "Teacher, I'm talking nonsense. They like to make dirty jokes. I have been badly educated. It's what Wang Jiayu and the others said, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Lin Qiu was silent again.Jiang Yi twitched his lips, squinted one eye, aimed at the trash can in the distance, shook it twice, and threw the empty water bottle into the trash can like shooting a basketball. "Perfect!"

"I heard that you really want to enter the police academy?"

Hearing Lin Qiu's words, he touched his nose and said, "Yes. You want to persuade me too?"

Lin Qiu said, "No. I'll just talk to you. What can I tell you if you want to get into the police academy?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yi was a little confused. "...Why don't you persuade me? They don't really want me to enter the police academy."

Lin Qiu's tone was calm. "In life, first of all, it is not easy to find something you want to do. Secondly, you have the ability and conditions to do what you want to do, and you can do it well. It is even more difficult. What's more, the key words of your life There are two, one is 'yours' and the other is 'life', since it is your life, of course you have to decide for yourself, whether they think it is good or bad, it has nothing to do with you."

"...Wow, Teacher Lin, you are so chic!"

Lin Qiu sat on Jiang Yi's left side, and Jiang Yi could see his delicate skin, even the fine hairs on his face, as soon as he turned his head.There is a small mole between his eyes and eyebrows, as beautiful as a black diamond inlaid, elegant as if enchanted.

"Mr. Lin, do you mean to support me? To be honest, you are the first adult to support me!"

Lin Qiu looked at him in surprise.He said slowly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if no one supports you, right? Besides, Jiang Yi, you are not the kind of person who will just listen to other people's suggestions."

Jiang Yi smiled brightly, and the youth was full of heroic spirit. "It's okay, of course it's okay. As for suggestions, I will listen to what Mr. Lin said. Because many of them are not suggestions, they just want to interfere in my life selfishly, and then make my life more comfortable. This kind of people It can’t be said that it’s wrong, many people are like that, and I don’t care much about their opinions and suggestions. They don’t start from my position at all.”

There was also a trace of slyness in Jiang Yi's eyes: "Of course, Teacher Lin is not starting from my standpoint. Teacher Lin is too objective and emotionless. Therefore, Teacher Lin's opinion can be used as a reference."

"Aren't you emotional..." Lin Qiu, who was in his early 20s, fell into his boundless emotions because of Jiang Yi's almost unintentional remarks.

The familiar bullying he suffered in childhood, the fire that burned the roots of his life, the ferocious man lying unconscious in the stone cave, Su Ting who was bleeding profusely after childbirth, and the unwavering messages from the other side of the ocean through the telephone line Sound... All the elements were twisted and intertwined, blocking all the exits of his thoughts like paste.Lin Qiu could only sink into the black abyss of his own memory, being pushed into the water again and again by an invisible force, sometimes struggling desperately, and sometimes letting go in despair.

The big-hearted Jiang Yi didn't know why Lin Qiu was in a daze again, but according to his sneaky observations of Lin Qiu before, Lin Qiu always liked to be in a daze.Jiang Yi thought, it's better to stay a little longer, and stay a little cute.

Members of the school's publicity department are holding cameras and preparing to shoot the high jump scene.He happened to know the buddy, rushed up three times and twice, and half snatched and half borrowed the camera. "I'll send you to class later, thank you brother!"

When Lin Qiu came to his senses, Jiang Yi was already complacent with his camera.

"Jiang Yi?" Lin Qiu asked with a frown.

Jiang Yi shook his head, seeing that Lin Qiu hadn't noticed, he couldn't help but feel amused. "Teacher, the chat is over! You can just say that I am disobedient later, and I will take the blame. Don't be afraid! I will continue to run!"

The carefree tall boy quickly left the auditorium, looked back and greeted Lin Qiu.There is endless vitality and vigor in him, and an innate wisdom that does not need to be polished.Lin Qiu couldn't look away for a moment.He used to think that the more ignorant he is, the luckier he is, the happier he is, but Jiang Yi's sense of happiness seeps out from the inside out, yet he's so smart... It makes one can't help being jealous.

Every minute and every second of that evening was clearly stored in Jiang Yi's mind.

Just the right yellow soft light hazy Lin Qiu's face, a gentle and cool, silent and handsome young man full of a sense of story, that little mole like a black diamond is condensed in the time locked in the photo, and also embedded in Jiang Yi's heart of cinnabar.

As long as he hasn't finished reading the books in the study room, Lin Qiu's photo is used as a bookmark.However, Lin Qiu may not be interested in the books he reads, and I hope that if Lin Qiu sees these bookmarks, he will not be embarrassed.

But Jiang Yi quickly smiled and shook his head.It doesn't matter, even if Lin Qiu is embarrassed, she will definitely hold back.At that time, if he joked with Lin Qiu again, his reaction must be very funny.

Jiang Yi went downstairs, and there was a tired-looking man in a formal suit standing in the living room.It's Liu Xichao.
