Conservation of energy

Is Shen Lin doing well?Maybe now.

That winter when he was at a loss, he returned to Binhai, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.Grandpa and grandma soon sold the house in Binhai and went to Hainan for the elderly. The old home could not go back. Both parents had new families. The former lover cut off all ties with him. The warm and peaceful home will never go back, and the person who once accompanied him, indulged him and pampered him is no longer by his side...

After returning home, I faced boring designs and being picky from my tutor every day. I slept for four hours a day, and spent the rest of my time in the library and teaching. When I ate, my mind was full of hand-drawn drawings, and I was forced to never arrive. The appearance of passing, finally won applause time and time again.He thought, look, I listened to you, I went where you told me to go, I was really serious about studying, and I really listened to you.

The instructor said that his design is too regulated, although it is a very good design, it has almost no shortcomings, but it lacks soul.He imagined him into it, and most of his works are designed according to his habits. He even designed a work based on his country house and won an award, because he thought it was his hometown.

Seven years of continuous undergraduate and master studies, he has won numerous awards, including the "Idea-Tops" and "Isarch", but he has never been able to design a house or a home for the person he wants. , he felt that he might not need it anymore, there should already be another person by his side.

After graduation, Shen Lin stayed in the Architectural Design Institute of Tsinghua University. One year later, he submitted his resignation to the institute, rejected the institute's persuasion, and left Tsinghua University, which had carried his ideals for eight years.He stayed in the ivory tower for too long, and he really wanted to go outside to see it.He was soon dug into the "Beihe" architectural design firm, a local firm, a subsidiary of a well-known domestic design institute a few years ago, consisting of a group of young domestic designers and overseas student elites. The eldest is the senior of Shen Lin University during his studies. When Shen Lin was in his junior year, he just graduated with a master's degree. The previous director resigned due to personal reasons. The young Shen Lin was hired by his seniors to become the director of "Beihe", once in May this year After passing nine exams, he obtained the "National First-Class Registered Architect" license, the highest identity certificate for domestic architects.

In August, I was invited to participate in an exhibition of works curated and sponsored by Tsinghua University Architectural Design and Research Institute. With the theme of "Modern-Oriental New Era", it was grandly opened in the Tsinghua University Pavilion, attracting countless elite colleagues from the construction industry. , several of Shen Lin's works also appeared in the display cabinet, winning countless flowers and applause, all cheering for this outstanding young architect.Shen Lin noticed that there was a handsome female architect who had been watching him from the corner. After the meeting, the architect waved to him, and the distance was a little far away. Shen Lin looked at her, she seemed very excited, Shen Lin again After thinking about it, she seemed to have no impression of her. She thought that the other party wanted to discuss design works with him, and was about to pretend to ignore and walk away. Seeing that she was about to turn around, the girl hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of Shen Lin, "I'm Zhang Ziqi ", the tone seemed to be very excited, Shen Lin was still wondering if he knew her, so she heard her say again: "I am Zhang Ziqi from Grade 2009 of Binhai Affiliated Middle School, and I am in the same class as Luo Xin." Only then did Shen Lin think of the person in front of him. Who is the handsome designer? Zhang Ziqi is a classmate of Luo Xintong. She studied architecture at Southeast University a year earlier than herself. She is also an excellent architect now. This exhibition also includes her works.

Shen Lin vaguely remembered that Zhang Ziqi seemed to have a crush on Luo Xintong back then. Although she didn't say it directly, how many girls would directly confess to the person they liked at that time?Shen Lin recalled the last quarrel, when Luo Xintong mentioned Zhang Ziqi, which seemed to be the fuse of their breakup...

But too many years have passed, and it is rare to meet a former alumnus in a foreign country, and now he is still a colleague, Shen Lin took the initiative to invite Zhang Ziqi to a cafe.

The two of them were not familiar with each other before, they had been dealing with design for a long time, and they were not very good at words. Soon after the two chatted about the topic of design, Zhang Ziqi took the initiative to turn the topic to Luo Xintong, "I remember one time, it seemed It was the eve of our college entrance examination. I was talking to Luo Xintong by the basketball court. When you walked away, you looked at me strangely. At that time, I thought you guessed that I had a crush on Luo Xintong. I thought you were surprised or mocking I pretended to be passionate, and we sang together during the winter vacation. I was going to sing with Luo Xintong, but you snatched his microphone. The expression was a little scary, I thought you liked that song very much, and I didn’t think much about it. It wasn’t until a few couples in our department came out a few years ago, and when I thought of the look in your eyes when you knelt on the ground to propose to him, I didn’t understand …I just realized that when I asked him on the basketball court if he liked someone, who was he referring to when he said “yes”…

"How is he now?" Shen Lin asked with a cup of coffee after listening to Zhang Ziqi's words.

Zhang Ziqi shook her head: "I don't know. I went back once during the summer vacation of my freshman year. He seemed to have a hard time during that time. First he was sick and hospitalized, and later he was forced to move. He rarely talked during the summer vacation. I asked him if he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. , He said he didn't think about it, it seems that he didn't plan to take the exam, and with his grades, he should be recommended. Later, I went back for the Spring Festival and I didn't see him."

Shen Lin remembered that time when he went back to Binhai for the last time, when he was most at a loss, he went back to find him, and found that he had moved: "Why did he move?"

Zhang Ziqi smiled wryly, and said, "Why else? It must be that when he was hospitalized, his mother also suddenly fell ill. His mother's situation...the landlord will definitely not let him live."

Shen Lin felt that he had misunderstood a lot of things. After the two broke up, he originally thought that he could not wait to move away to avoid him.It turned out that he was forced to move away. At that time, his injury was not healed, and he had to look for a house everywhere. How difficult it must be. He didn't do anything for him except his own sadness... He lost control and shed tears in front of Zhang Ziqi, the former "rival in love"...

Zhang Ziqi took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Shen Lin, and sighed, "I said to Luo Xintong at the time, 'If you like someone, go after them, tell them earlier, don't wait until they are gone, and then regret that you said too much. Wan', since you haven't forgotten, go back and find him..."

Shen Lin came out of the coffee shop and went directly to the company, and handed over his resignation letter to the company. He couldn't wait to go back. The senior looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he would resign without warning. The senior always thought that he was a very A calm person thought that he was so eager to resign because he had already found a better next home.He told the director that he wanted to go back to Binhai to find his lost lover. The senior knew that he had been single all these years, and that Binhai just set up a branch not long ago, so he asked him to take over the post of design director of the branch. He was given a month's vacation and wished him the best of luck in finding his lost lover.

Shen Lin booked a ticket for the next day, and there were no flights that day. He took out the "group photo" of the two of them from the black notebook. The photo had been taken for too long, and the surroundings had turned yellow. When he missed his lover, he often touched the photo. , the people in the photo are a little blurry, he is afraid that he will not be able to recognize each other when he sees his former lover again, and he is afraid that there will be a gentle woman or man beside his former lover.He gently stroked Luo Xintong in the photo, as if stroking his lover's face.
