14 years time difference

10:48 on the night of the winter solstice.

A plane landed in Jincheng, the server of a website had been attacked to the point of total collapse, a party with a warm melody was preparing to play its finale, and a piece of bad social news was rampant.

These four things sound unrelated.

They are like cold winds blowing from all directions, converging invisibly, weaving the night together like needles and threads.

Lin Zhique stood up and ripped off the main power supply of the server.

The hacker's attack was fierce and decisive, which made her unskilled technology useless. The website was implanted with a large number of junk files, and a large number of user data was stolen. No one asked her to pay a ransom in exchange for encrypted files. The other party's purpose It's pure sabotage, not blackmail.

Such malicious competition is not uncommon in the Internet industry, but she is in charge of products in the company and has little contact with security operation and maintenance. Use more advanced third-party security software.She underestimated 2008.

She lost.She turned around, tripped over the power supply on the ground, and knocked over the books stacked on the table to the ground by her wrong hand. She bent down to pick up a book, stood there, took a deep breath, and suddenly clenched the book in her hand. The book fell on the table.

The table board was smashed by her.

She walked out of the room, the rest of the books were still lying on the floor, the TV in the living room was still broadcasting the Winter Solstice Gala, and she hadn't watched it all night. She felt very noisy, grabbed the remote control on the sofa, beeped, the TV went out, and all the sounds disappeared instantly.

Anger mixed with frustration burned her rationality to the brim.

Lin Zhique opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of vodka, poured it out, and drank half a glass of ice wine in one gulp. The burning sensation spread down his throat until his chest was scorched.

She took off her cashmere nightgown and threw it on a chair in the dining room.

The lights of the terminal building were as bright as day, and Xu Xinan and Lin Zhique stood on the left and right in the aisle at the entrance of the bathroom.Xu Xinan carried his backpack on his shoulders and Du Zhian's big-name luggage bag in his hand, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Hurry up."

Lin Zhique waited impatiently, and turned his head frequently to see if Du Zhian had come out.The bag on her shoulder was pressed against the shoulders in thick clothes, and it was light and fluffy. It contained only a change of underwear. She was going back to East China early tomorrow morning, and she didn't want to delay here for even one more day. "Do you want to go back with me tomorrow?"

Xi Nan murmured: "Why don't we discuss it with Zhi'an before making a decision?"

"What else is there to discuss? Could it be that if she wants to skip a week of class, you will also skip a week with her?"

Xu Xinan stopped answering.

Lin Zhique asked again: "Where did you get the money for the plane ticket?"

"I saved it. New year's money and pocket money. I've saved it for several years."

"Why don't you let her buy it for you? She insisted on coming." She nuzzled her chin in the direction of washing the toilet, "Aren't you afraid that your father will be angry if you spent all the money you saved?"

"Scared." Xi Nan's face was not without worry, "But, anyway, I haven't gone back yet. We'll talk about it when we go back." She smiled cheerfully again.

"What about your training? What about training? Have you talked to the coach?"

"……No."

"Xu Xinan, you are really crazy. Du Zhian is so important? What if your father gets angry and breaks your leg when you go back, what will you do if you choose?"

Xi Nan was speechless, and it took him a long time to hold back three words: "...you don't understand."

"What do I not understand?"

"I don't know how it feels to really like someone." After she finished speaking, her wheat-colored face turned red.For the first time, she confessed that she likes Du Zhian.

"But she doesn't like you, and she doesn't know that you like her. She thought so much about that man, and she was afraid of affecting his college entrance examination. What about you? Isn't she afraid of affecting your selection? She didn't think about you at all. "

Xu Xinan couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he still said, "So what? You don't expect anything in return for liking."

"...I don't understand." I don't want to understand either. "Anyway, I will never regard anyone as more important than myself." Lin Zhique shrugged, turned and walked towards the exit, "I'll wait for you at the station."

The signs in the arrival hall point to the left and right, turn left to the taxi stand, turn right to the bus station, and the radio is broadcasting the announcement that the last bus is about to leave, so she walks to the right.

The downward escalator led to the underground departure station, and the last train stopped just beside the platform. Lin Zhique suddenly realized that Du Zhian would not choose to take the bus.She should turn back and wait at the taxi stand.The door creaked open, and the driver asked her if she wanted to get in the car with his eyes.

She glanced at the route stop next to the car door, and saw three words: Meixi Bridge.

This bridge was near Du's house, and she still remembered that there was a magic stick pretending to be blind on the bridge.

She looked back, and there were no other passengers in the underground station, so empty that even the trembling engine sound of the bus echoed.

never mind.she thinks.Anyway, the destination is the same, and there is nothing to wait for, just give them a call.

She got on the bus to Meixi Bridge.

The underground garage of the TV station was cloudy and cold. Du Siren got into the cab, rubbed his hands, started the car, and lowered the windows.

The assistant stood by the car door and handed her bag in.

Their team is very familiar with Taili, and Jincheng is her hometown, so they came back to record a party, and only arranged for an assistant to accompany them.

She said: "It's so cold, do you want to get in the car? I'll give you a ride."

The assistant waved his hand: "No, there are fans waiting outside. You will be my driver, and they will scold me to death when they see it. The hotel is so close, I can just walk over. I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon and go to the airport today. Tonight, you will have a good reunion with your parents."

She laughed and said that I would leave then, and put on the seat belt while talking.

"Goodbye, big star."

She fully turned the steering wheel, drove the car out of the basement, deliberately went around to the main entrance of the TV station, and lowered the car window to greet the fans who were still waiting.It was too cold, and no tickets were sold for the show. They waited all night in the cold wind, their faces flushed from the cold.They chatted with her like friends and blamed her for only knowing to stay in Beijing.

She waved goodbye to them with a smile and drove away.

At the intersection ahead, she is about to turn right, it's time to change lanes.

If you stay on the same road and go straight, you can drive to Meixi South Road.

After a few seconds of hesitation, the green light ended, and she turned to the right lane to wait for the red light.

It is too late.At this time, I ran to see my girlfriend, and I didn’t know how long it would be sticky again. The two old people were still waiting for her at home watching the TV. When the party was over, they must put the mutton pot on the stove and heat it up immediately.

But she misses her so much.

Du Siren took out his mobile phone from his bag.

Only then did I see the text message before takeoff, and there were several missed calls.It's from home.

She called back.

Her mother was on the other end of the phone, and as soon as the call was connected, she told her concisely: "Zhi'an and her classmate Xi Nan are at home. They came from East China. It is said that Zhi Que also came, and they got separated at the airport. Zhi Que left alone, and now I don’t know where to go. I have already called your father to go to the airport to look for it.”

"Didn't you call her? She should have brought her mobile phone."

"Come on, her mobile phone has been shut down due to arrears. I told your dad to let him see a recharge card along the way and help her recharge the phone bill. But it's too late now, and I don't know where to buy it. I think , Will she go to the old house? Have you finished work? Go over there and have a look. "

Du Si's heart sank. "How did she go to the old house?"

"I'm guessing, it's possible. We moved, and no one told her specifically. Ask Zhi'an, Zhi'an can't tell if she knows about it. Knowing that child, he has his own ideas, maybe he will come directly to The old house is gone."

"Okay, mom, don't worry, I'll go find it now."

Just as the red light count was over, she stepped on the accelerator and went straight to Meixi South Road. The car was dead silent all the way.

The third red light.

There are 99 seconds.

There are also traffic police on duty at night at the intersection.

It was almost as if fate was playing tricks on her.She stopped the car and honked the horn uncontrollably.

Her mother called again: "Your dad asked at the airport. She seems to be taking a bus. That bus goes to Meixi Bridge. They are trying to find a way to contact the driver now. Go back and have a look. Thank God , I'm going to call the police."

She called the assistant again and asked if she could help recharge the phone bill online.The other party was a little embarrassed, "I'll try. But I don't have the USB-shield with me, so I may not be able to use online banking."

This is not 2019. Lin Zhique said that in 2019, you can directly use your mobile phone to recharge your phone anytime, anywhere.

2008 was not good at all.

She called Lin Zhique, and she got through after calling twice.

The voice on the phone was muffled, and she asked her, "What's the matter? I was in the living room just now, and I didn't hear the phone ring."

When the red light turned green, she switched the phone to speakerphone and stepped on the gas pedal to start.

"If someone rings the doorbell later, don't open the door. She's here, she's in Jincheng." She began to speak incoherently.

"Who? Are you driving?"

"You, her, my niece. Here she is, on the plane tonight, she doesn't know where she is going, her phone is down, she doesn't know we've moved. I'm on stage, I didn't see the text message. You don't open the door."

She spoke intermittently, but Lin Zhique understood.

Lin Zhique understood, but did not answer her.

There was a dead silence in the car, only the sound of her heartbeat, and the sound of distant breathing mixed with electric sounds.

There were no other cars on the road, and the straight road in front of her seemed to have no end, no matter how hard she drove, she couldn't reach her destination.

She moved her mouth and said, "I beg you." But only a very hoarse breath came out.

Lin Zhique asked: "What? Did you speak?"

Turning the corner, Du Siren pulled over and stopped the car.a familiar street.On the night of attending Wen Jing's wedding, Lin Zhique stopped the car here and kissed her.

She rubbed her face with her hands.The car windows were lowered, and the cold wind poured straight into the car, making her eyes dry.

"Do you want to open the door?" Dusi Ren finally asked, "Do you want to go back?"

Lin Zhique replied: "Yes. I want to go back."

Without any hesitation, without any tact.

"Why?" It's a silly question, and everyone in Dusi knows it.

"Because, this world does not have my life."

After a few seconds, seeing that she was silent, Lin Zhique said again: "You understand, don't you?"

She understood, but she couldn't answer.If understanding means letting go, can she be willful and selfish once?

"Look, what if I die on the day of the earthquake? No one in this world knows who I am. I become an unknown corpse. My family and friends will never know where I went and where I died. .”

Dusi people began to cry.

"I drive because I'm afraid that the traffic police will catch me. When I travel far away, I have to disguise myself. I don't even have a bank account, so I have to use your identity for everything. You go to Suzhou, go to Beijing, you have your life, you have My relatives and friends, I can’t stay here and revolve around you forever.”

She understands everything.

She wanted to cry and beg her, don’t go, I’m not going back to Beijing, we’re going to Lhasa now, I’m not going to film, I’m not going to record a new album, I’m not leaving you, we’re here, I Come around you, don't go.

But not possible.

She can't.

She couldn't give up her career for her, so how could she ask her to give up her life for her?

Lin Zhique said: "She will be in her third year of high school next year. I don't know when she will come to Jincheng next time. Besides, if I don't go back, we will never know how to come."

The Dusi man wiped away his tears and said, "You wait for me. You wait for me."

She started the car, the phone was always on, but no one spoke, the sound of breathing on the other end of the radio wave was so clear and distant, the remaining distance was very short, but long enough for tears to smash through the stone.

The car entered the community and parked directly downstairs of the unit. Du Siren didn't even pull out the car key, got out of the car and ran upstairs desperately.

She took out the key and opened the door. The lights in the house were still on, but no one was there. She panicked and went into cardiac arrest until she heard footsteps on the stairs.

She flew over, Lin Zhique was walking down, she took three steps in one step, took two steps, and embraced her.

In the first sentence, she said: "Today is the winter solstice, have you eaten glutinous rice balls? I bought glutinous rice balls and put them in the refrigerator."

Lin Zhique also hugged her tightly, and the two stood in the middle of the stairs, squeezed against the wall, and stuck tightly together.

In the second sentence, she said: "This world does not belong to you. But I am yours."

Lin Zhique said, "You belong to yourself."

She shook her head vigorously.

Lin Zhique stepped back and looked at her face. She had wiped away all her tears, and there was no flaw at all.

Lin Zhique said: "Do you know, the only time I have," she said, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Or there were so many times, I thought you were really scary, when was it?" She raised her hand touch her face.

"I'm scary?"

"Well. It's scary. Because, several times, for a moment, I felt that I could not belong to myself, but completely belong to you. Dusi people, you are so scary."

She said so, how could she not let her go?

Lin Zhique was only wearing a thin knitted jumper, and she smelled of alcohol. Dusi wanted to lower her head to kiss her, but she held her face and kept her from getting close, "Listen, I will think There is a way to come here again. Maybe you can only come here if you are with me, so when you are free, or when you miss me when you are free, come here, do you hear me? November 2011, 11, you have to remember live, if I haven’t come until that day—”

"I will live. I will live through that day," said the Duth man.

"En." Lin Zhique nodded vigorously, "En." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Why is your face so cold? Is it cold outside?"

The Dusi people kissed her tears, kissed her teary eyes, tried to smile and said to her: "Maybe, she didn't come here at all. I will go out to find her later. Where do you think she will go? What do you think?" I know her."

Doorbell rang.

They looked into each other's eyes, and neither spoke anymore.

The doorbell rang a second time.There is a quick temper outside the door.

The Dusi people said softly: "You are really hateful."

Lin Zhique said softly, "I really love you."

They kissed, the kiss was very short, cold to the touch, it was the chill brought by the Dusi people from outside, and there was a little smell of wine, it was Lin Zhique who drank the wine.

The man from Dusi said, "See you next time."

She let go of the hands holding her.

Lin Zhique turned around and walked downstairs.

Dusi stood on the stairs, leaning against the wall, motionless, not shedding a single tear.

She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of footsteps going downstairs, turns, doors opening and closing.The doorbell rang again.Ding dong.

Her mobile phone was still left in the car, and it rang several times, but she didn't know it.

On the other end of the phone, in Beijing, Li Miaomiao dropped her phone on the table and leaned her head against the back of the chair.

It's almost morning.

Zhu He walked into the meeting room and threw the handbag on the table. "The publicity team is all here? Have you contacted the PR team? Which one are you going to find?"

Li Miaomiao covered her face with her hands.

Zhu He said: "Acquaintances from Evening News called me just now. They asked me about the incident of migrant workers in East China who were beaten to death by security guards tonight. What is the relationship between Mr. Du Shen and Mr. Du of the involved group and Si Ren?"

Li Miaomiao covered her face and replied, "That's her brother."

"I know." Zhu He was silent for a while, "The media knows, and netizens will find out sooner or later. If this matter gets fermented, it will be the biggest scandal since debut in 05. Where is Siren?"

"I don't know. I can't get in touch. Stay home."

"I heard that Mr. Du wasn't there when the accident happened. The capitalists ate steamed buns made of human blood, and after they were wiped clean, someone would sit in the shift room for him. This kind of thing happens on the night of the winter solstice in a first-tier big city." Zhu He breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about the budget. We will invite the best public relations team to make a plan. I will contact my friends in the media industry. I must control the public opinion as soon as possible."

Li Miaomiao put down her hands and looked up at Zhu He.

Zhu He didn't seem to be in a panic, folded his arms, and said to her with squinting eyes: "Stop sitting here, Li Sanshui. Aren't you afraid of the sky and the earth? Even if the sky is about to fall, there is me and the company. But you are the last Hurry up and try not to let the sky fall on me."

"Okay." Li Miaomiao stood up.

Dusi came down the stairs.

Finally, before the next doorbell rang, she opened the door.

Her 16-year-old niece stood outside the door.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled at her: "Are you here? Let's go, let's go home. We've moved to a new house."

She turned off the lights in the house.

The dark thunder of fate has already exploded, but she doesn't know it.
