Chapter 39 39

The tour has been over for a long time, and everyone in the crew is busy with their own affairs. The WeChat group has not been disbanded, but it has sunk to an unseen position in the list.

When Zhang Qi raised his head, he realized that the brim of the hat would block part of his vision. She was wearing high-waisted light-colored denim pants and a short sweater with her waist exposed. She specially came to a fresh supermarket not far from home to buy fresh salmon. , and have to go home before dinner.

After a long time, Director Zhao suddenly said in the group: "Congratulations to Chen Yang for successfully proposing marriage. May he be happy forever."

The jeans were a bit tight, and it was very difficult to put the mobile phone into the trouser pocket. Zhang Qi stood on the escalator, and she lowered her head and pressed the brim of her hat.Everything was peaceful, and it seemed that there was nothing for Zhang Qi to vent or cry.

But despair is only a direct reaction in an instant. People can adjust and pretend. Zhang Qi pushed the shopping cart and walked among the supermarket shelves. She found the salmon she wanted. She looked at the very polite clerk she met. , and smiled at her.

Everything is full of regrets, but what is lost is far from enough to affect survival. Even though Zhang Qi has been in such pain and passion, she knows that the curtain call is over and everything should end.

In the cramped space of the trouser pocket, dozens of messages popped up on the screen of the mobile phone. Standing in a corner of the supermarket, Zhang Qi did not read the content of the messages, but immediately set the Do Not Disturb for group messages.

Zhang Qi raised his hand and quickly wiped the wet corners of his eyes.

Before it was getting dark, Zhang Nian didn't go home after school. After thinking for a long time, he finally got on the bus to Liu Xiaobai's house.

The carriage was no longer crowded, and the sky was getting grayer, only a light yellow halo came in from the window, and after hitting the body, it looked like paint mixed with water.

In the earphones, a very loud song was playing in a single loop. Zhang Nian was wearing a blue and white sports-style school uniform jacket. He looked out the window at the tall buildings and green plants that were flying away.

Liu Xiaobai still didn't answer his call.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Nian put his mobile phone into his schoolbag, stood up and asked the pregnant woman who had just got on the bus to sit down, and then went to the back door of the bus.

Zhang Nian had never found that Liu Xiaobai was such a difficult person, so that by this time, the backlog of self-blame was increasing. He walked among a bunch of elementary school students who had left cram school, and entered the gate of Liu Xiaobai's community.

The changing floor numbers in the elevator were like a countdown before an unknown event. Zhang Nian raised his hand and rubbed the wind-blown hair on his forehead. He scratched his nose and walked out of the elevator at a very slow speed. by the door.

When the doorbell rang, there was a sound of electric current. Zhang Nian deliberately lowered his head and stood there. He suddenly became concerned about what Liu Xiaobai would see of himself through the cat's eyes.

The door panel is dark red, the floor mat is green, and a large piece of the floor behind it is gray... People stand in a palette with huge grids, buried by dim lights.

Zhang Nian was about to fall asleep.

One minute later, he called out softly: "Liu Xiaobai."

Suddenly heavy footsteps sounded behind Zhang Nian, and the neighbor woman who was carrying the key turned her wrinkled face and said, "Their family's adults haven't left work yet, the old lady has gone to visit relatives."

"Then Liu Xiaobai is here?"

"Yes, today is Friday, school is over early, are you his classmate? Didn't he go to school?"

The neighbor's woman even came over enthusiastically. She put down the large courier bag she was carrying, stretched out her hand, and knocked on the door of Liu Xiaobai's house three times with great force.

"Yes, here we come..." Finally, a slow and soft voice came from behind the door.

Zhang Nian had almost grown into a young man, his slender body was wrapped in school uniform, he stood stiffly, waiting for the door in front of him to open alone.

Liu Xiaobai was wearing a vest and shorts, he squeezed his shoulders out of the door with great effort, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Come to find you."

"A brainless person like me will affect your development. I have no brains, brother."

"I was too anxious at the time," Zhang Nian said bluntly. He became nervous, and finally changed his standing position before saying, "I'm sorry."

Liu Xiaobai finally opened the anti-theft door completely. Without slippers, he put one hand on the door frame, frowned, and said, "Don't apologize, okay, you go back first, I want to recover from my injuries, you see I have no injuries. Well, I don't want to talk any more."

There was still gauze on Liu Xiaobai's forehead, he raised his bangs for Zhang Nian to see, with a fake and guarded smile in his eyes.

"See you next week," he said.

The door was closed by Liu Xiaobai, and Zhang Nian no longer had the white light from the room on his body. He turned and walked forward, standing on the gray ground, waiting for the elevator.

It was almost dark, Zhang Nian walked out of the unit, and almost stepped on a puppy that was running fast. Instead of waiting for the bus, he took a taxi in front of the community, got in the car, and reported his home address.

The lights around the city were turned on, and many people and cars flashed past. Zhang Nian suddenly closed his eyes. He suddenly felt that he could not speak at all today. He originally wanted to say more, but those gentle or sharp words When all the words were on his lips, Liu Xiaobai was looking at him, blinking with a half-smile.

The apology that should be said was not thorough, and later, Liu Xiaobai's words almost defeated him.

Xia Honglin was working overtime again today. As soon as Zhang Nian entered, he bumped into Zhang Chengwei who was about to leave. He smelled Zhang Chengwei's perfume that hadn't changed for many years, and he suddenly seemed to have returned to the past.

They always don't see each other for too long.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhang Chengwei reached out to touch Zhang Nian's head, but because of the similar height, he felt awkward.

Zhang Nian nodded and lied: "Eat...you go out?"

"Go out, I won't come back at night, I have to catch a plane to go abroad, you go to bed early, tell your sister to drink less, don't mess around with her, don't drink."

"it is good."

Zhang Nian and Zhang Chengwei didn't have much rift, but they didn't have much in common. They maintained an ordinary and harmonious family relationship. The reason for their superficial feelings was probably because they really didn't have time to communicate.

The door was closed, Zhang Nian was carrying a light schoolbag with one hand, he hung his coat on the hanger, and shouted: "Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi, sister—"

"Come on, come on, salmon, I left it for you, what else do you want to eat?"

Zhang Qi had already put on her pajamas and pajama pants, her hair was draped, and she was sitting on the carpet in front of the TV, drinking the maroon wine in the glass; her cheeks were already red, and she turned to face Zhang Qi Read a warm smile.

"I'll eat, I'll go back to my room, you should drink less."

"En." Zhang Qi nodded obediently, a strand of hair fell to her forehead, and she raised her face to blow it.

Zhang Nian, who returned to the room, was a little anxious. He threw his schoolbag on the bed, opened the bookcase to get things, and he wanted to find the box where the mobile phone was, because there was a mobile phone case in the box.

It's half old, and it won't become new even if it's not used. Zhang Nian sweated down the side of his cheeks. He shook his head and went to the piano to get the clay pot he made himself during the summer vacation.

The drunk Zhang Qi was knocking on the door of Zhang Nian's bedroom and said, "Do you know that the person I like is getting married, and he proposed to someone else..."

Zhang Nian turned around holding the phone case, he looked at Zhang Qi's face in surprise, and noticed that tears were constantly falling on her chin.

"Shen Chenyang?" Zhang Nian asked.

Zhang Qi was hugging Zhang Nian's little dinosaur to her chest. She leaned against the door frame, wrinkled her nose and sobbed, then nodded vigorously.

Zhang Nian could smell the strong smell of alcohol in the air.

"You still keep saying that you don't have a role to play," Zhang Nian said, "How can someone like you not be able to get a role in a role, you are a cunning and cunning method."

Zhang Qi sucked his nose very hard, the red color on her face was tempered by transparent tears, she walked over, staggered and couldn't stand still, so she fell onto Zhang Nian's bed; she carnivaled in alcohol, wanton to the extreme , so buried his face in the pillow and really burst into tears.

Zhang Nian stood beside her and looked at her. The two of them were in their own distress. After crying for a while, Zhang Qi got up from the bed. She reached out and snatched the phone case from Zhang Nian's hand, and said, "Don't play with this. The person I loved is going to get married, but he doesn't even know that I like him, he doesn't know what he is in my heart..."

Zhang Nian took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

Suddenly, Zhang Qi put the phone case gently on the bed. She raised her face, looked at Zhang Nian with her red eyes, and said, "The person I like is getting married, why are you holding back?"

"What am I holding back..."

Zhang Qi was helped up by Zhang Nian, and she was in a trance, thinking of the night when she and Shen Chenyang had supper alone, she seemed to hug him, and she thought of kissing him on the stage.

Zhang Nian said, "Go back to sleep, I'll help you go."
