Chapter 8 He Can't Recognize You
As the weather turned cold, migratory birds had already nested in the south, and Han Yan also finished his vacation and returned to work in the office.
Strictly speaking, life is no different from before the holidays. It is still as busy, flying all over the country, meeting clients and agencies, and working overtime to catch papers.If you have to find some changes from these days that are as dull as water, it is probably that he and Ning chat almost every day.
But in the identity of the bridge to the bridge.
Peace of mind is certainly easy to understand.He has just arrived in Z City, and his work and life are in the dark. He really needs to chat with friends, even if it is separated by a mobile phone, it is a great comfort.
But what about Han Yan?
What Han Yan was thinking, even he himself didn't know.He seems to regard An Ning as a distraction for boring time, and it seems to be out of a mentality of adopting stray cats.Maybe he hasn't made up his mind to bring the kitten home, but he always feeds it when he passes by.
Last week, An Ning joined the company on her first day, and sent a message to Han Yan nervously the night before.
[From] Ning: Ah Wen, I'm so nervous that I'm going to throw up, what should I do? (5.3km)
[From] Bridge to Bridge: Did you buy your degree?
[From] Ning: Of course not! (5.3km)
[From] Bridge to Bridge: So why panic.
[From] Ning: I’m still nervous. I don’t know where I’m going to eat at noon tomorrow. What if everyone leaves at lunch time and no one cares about me... (5.3km)
[From] Bridge to Bridge: Very likely.
Han Yan didn't reply for a while, thinking that An Ning had fallen asleep while chatting, and was about to put down the phone, but a voice call came over.
In the darkness, the bright light on the screen lights up, and an extremely cute teddy bear jumps up and down and dances its teeth and claws.
An Ning changed her profile picture a long time ago, replacing the former Notre Dame Cathedral with a teddy bear wearing a vest.
Han Yan connected.
"You are so annoying." At the beginning, he complained, his voice sounded like thin glutinous white porridge boiled at a simmer until small bubbles appeared.
One can almost imagine his expression at the moment, he must be annoyed, his eyes widened slightly.
"What's wrong with me."
"I'm already very nervous, but you still put pressure on me, what do you mean by 'very likely'?"
"Is it okay to tell the truth?"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore." An Ning turned over in the bed, the movement was so loud that Han Yan could hear it clearly, as if she was deliberately flipping it for someone to read, "I don't understand the art of chatting at all. .”
"Then I hang up."
"Eh--!"
The call was silent for a second, and then, a finger pointed at the receiver and tapped three times rhythmically.
Tee, Tee, Tee.
This is a code between them, set not long ago, knocking three times means "wait a minute".
Han Yan didn't hang up.
He didn't intend to hang up.
Ai Ai during the peaceful period: "Then tomorrow, what should I pay attention to?"
"Pay attention to appearance, talk less and listen more, and build a good relationship with alumni."
"Oh." An Ning complained softly, "You know again."
"Ok?"
"And you know there must be alumni, if not, I'm still alone."
I have to get up early to catch the plane the next day, but I should have gone to bed long ago.Moreover, Han Yan's solitary character determines that he thinks it's no big deal to eat alone.But he will still take the trouble to think about it for the sake of peace.
"How many people joined you in the same batch?"
"A hundred or so."
"From the perspective of probability, the probability of a strong relationship between two strangers is 5%. The so-called strong relationship refers to classmates, fellow countrymen, colleagues, or more than one mutual friend. Assuming the above four relationship probabilities Equally, you have a 1.25% chance of finding an alumni tomorrow. So the conclusion is—”
"Awen." An Ning interrupted solemnly.
"Huh?" Han Yan stopped.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're out of your mind?"
After careful recollection, Han Yan answered in a low voice: "Not currently. My undergraduate grade point is in the top ten majors, and my rating has always been 1 after work." After a short pause, he added, "1 is the highest score."
"..." An Ning was speechless, "You are amazing."
No matter how rough Han Yan's nerves are, he can hear the irony in these words at this moment.
He remained silent.
An Ning yawned, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep. What time is your flight tomorrow?"
06:30, but Han Yan did not speak.
After getting acquainted with each other, I have long been used to his coldness and tranquility, when he has a split personality.Anyway, there are many such people: in real life, their personalities are completely opposite to those on the Internet.
"Good night." An Ning's voice was tired.
I took down the phone that had been attached to my ear for a while, and a second before I hung up, I heard Ah Wen say in a low voice, "Come on tomorrow."
—
This walk is three weeks.
Han Yan has been staying in a four-star hotel in a second-tier city. The customer helped to book it. Everything is good, except the sound insulation.Occasionally at night, when he heard Mortal Kombat next door, he would be so annoyed that he would sit up and smoke a cigarette. The fire in his heart could not be suppressed, and he took the initiative to contact An Ning more often than before.
But An Ning also got busy.When he first joined the company, he had to learn a lot of things. Fortunately, he really got to know a few classmates from the same school and from his hometown. He usually went in and out of the same place after dinner and get off work. After being assigned to the new department, he got along well with his colleagues.I go to work to learn things during the day, and I have to review them at night. I occasionally go out to eat with my colleagues to connect with each other.
The only episode is that Cao Hengqi approached him twice, but after he refused to block the one-stop service, there is no news of him now.Doing the math, it has been almost two months since we broke up with Cao, and many wounds have healed over time and have gradually scabbed over.
When Cao Hengqi came to the door for the first time, An Ning was quite panicked. He chatted with Han Yan for a long time that night, but he refused to hang up.
"What happened?"
"It's okay." An Ning smiled, "It's just that my ex-boyfriend came to look for me again, and he really lingers."
Han Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the night view of the city, and there were many cruise ships moored by the moat.The city has a nice view and is very suitable for wandering around.
He also laughed silently: "You used to say you loved him."
"Love is love," An Ning looked a little shy and distressed, "but it's all over."
Then quietly changed the subject: "Have you returned to the hotel?"
"Ah."
"What are you doing, smoking?"
"No, let's see the scenery."
"What's the view?"
"river."
"anything else?"
"ferry."
"Does it look good?"
"generally."
"No wonder you don't send friends—" An Ning said halfway, but suddenly stopped.
Han Yan sat down and took out a cigarette, the lighter blew softly: "What are you doing, friend?"
"It's nothing."
An Ning didn't plan to say anything about the fact that she had been silently praising his circle of friends.It's strange to say that Qiao Yu likes to send photos to check in wherever he goes, but recently he stopped surprisingly.
"Can you send me a postcard?" he begged softly.
"Not good." Han Yan slowly released a puff of white smoke from his mouth.
"Why……"
"The words are ugly."
"Well, can I see you when you come back?"
This is not the first time An Ning has asked for a meeting.He wanted to pierce the window paper, but Ah Wen was too stupid to guess who he was.If we continue like this, winter is almost here, how cold is it when we meet in winter?
Too cold to hold hands.
"Is it okay?" An Ning breathed out.
Han Yan thought for a while, but didn't smoke, "I can't."
The breath of true anger dissipated immediately, "Why..."
"Ugly."
An Ning was very annoyed.If you don't want to meet, just say you don't want to, and use the ugly excuse of being ugly. How ugly are you?
"I'm not good-looking either. Why do you have to be so good-looking as a friend?"
Although they knew each other well, they still used being friends as an excuse on the surface.
The air froze inexplicably.
An Ning beat a drum in her heart, wondering if she shouldn't say that.
"Is the signal bad?" He asked softly, "Or did I do something wrong."
Away from his parents and his hometown for many years, he yearns for a stable and warm relationship from the bottom of his heart, fearing being abandoned and always being alone.
Han Yan took the cigarette out of his mouth and pressed it hard into the ashtray, "You won't like me."
An Ning was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, "How do you know?"
After speaking, he regretted his slip of the tongue and corrected himself: "I mean...I mean I don't judge people by their appearance so much."
He really couldn't figure out why Ah Wen refused to see him.
No matter from what point of view, they are very suitable. Even if the foundation of relationship is not strong now, they can start as friends and get in touch with each other gradually.
"Let's meet when you come back, okay?"
"Why." Han Yan asked.
An Ning said in a daze, "Why?"
"Why are you so persistent in wanting to see me?"
Whether out of curiosity, or eager to start a relationship.Or, just want to relieve some desires.
"What do you think?" An Ning asked back with great aggrievedness, "Why do you say I want to see you?"
"I don't know." Han Yan really didn't know.
The phone fell silent.
Although each other's breath is light and shallow, falling into the ears can still make the mind ups and downs.
Forget it, maybe it's really not the time yet.
"I'm going to bed." An Ning said sullenly, "You don't want to send postcards, and you don't want to meet me. Don't talk to me tomorrow."
After saying the angry words, he didn't hang up, just waited quietly.
Han Yan's jaw tightened, and he said after a while, "I bought you a gift."
"Really?" An Ning was suddenly surprised.
"Ah."
"What is it. Wait, wait, let me guess, specialty products? Fridge magnets? Or something else?"
Han Yan got up silently, walked a few steps on the balcony, with an expression as if he was facing a big exam, "Teddy bear."
"What..." An Ning complained loudly, "It's true, didn't you say that kind of thing is the most childish?"
"You like it." Han Yan said lightly.
It was as if a hand was gently lifting the person up.
An Ning's whole body was light and floating, as if in the clouds, and it took a long time to dawdle and say, "I don't like it that much either."
"I'll take it back tomorrow."
"No!" The tone of his voice rose sharply, "Definitely not."
"how?"
"Not at all."
Well, Han Yan knew that he must like it.
Before we knew it, we chatted like this for over an hour.After hanging up the phone, Han Yan stopped smoking, and started sending messages to colleagues one by one: "Do you know where there are teddy bears for sale?"
—
Three days later, Han Yan returned to City Z.
He has a day off to make up for the day and night when he is on a business trip.He usually used it to catch up on sleep at times like this, but not today.
On weekdays, City Z became crowded from five o'clock in the afternoon.
A silver-gray Subaru made a small half-circle along the third ring road, and finally got off the bridge and entered the side road before 05:30, and stopped in front of the office building of a fast-moving consumer company at the risk of being posted.
This is a twin tower, with three gates in front, back, left, and right, but the north exit is the closest to the subway. Han Yan guessed that Anning must go from here.
Sure enough, when it was almost six o'clock, An Ning and two colleagues appeared at the door, walking towards the road step by step.
He is dressed more formally today than before, but it is not as rigid as a suit and tie. The sweater is paired with a cotton jacket, and the shoulders are replaced with leather ones. Overall, he still feels a bit childish as a freshman.
Before the window could be closed, the person was already approaching.
Han Yan froze.
How to say?
Encounter?
His facial features are a little out of order.
The result was a false alarm.It's not that An Ning didn't see him.I saw it, took it with one glance, and looked at each other, but didn't recognize him.
People walked past his car without looking back.
I haven't seen her for nearly 30 days, and the bad-tempered neighbor has gradually been forgotten.What An Ning remembers is Ah Wen, but unfortunately, every time it comes to mind, it is Qiao Yu's face that appears.
Wrong again, Han Yan thought, he was wrong again.
The figure in the rearview mirror gradually drifted away without any hesitation.Han Yan looked back to the back of the car.There were two 50cm tall teddy bears in the back seat, with brown fur and yellow bow ties, and he also fastened their seat belts.
The hand holding the steering wheel was clenched tightly.He got out of the car three seconds later, stuffed the two bears into the trunk, and drove after him.
