summer monsoon

On the way back, Ji Xinghui's thoughts were still chaotic.But the person who disturbed his mind seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the wind was blowing from the car window opened to the maximum.

"You, why did you suddenly bring me to the ice rink?" Ji Xinghui couldn't help asking him.

"I want to give you a gift. That's all I know."

"Then... have you... ever given someone else such a gift?" Ji Xinghui continued to probe.

"No." Lin Fengliang resumed his habit of cherishing words like gold.

Ji Xinghui glanced at him in the rearview mirror uncontrollably, he couldn't suppress the strange feeling in his heart, he knew he was a bit shameless.Although Lin Fengliang is an adult, for a person who seems to have social barriers, it is difficult to grasp the sense of proportion when interacting with others.He shouldn't miss him because of this, let alone he is Lin Fengliang, a treasure standing on the top of the world.And he, Ji Xinghui, is just the luckier one among all living beings, who can monopolize his one night.It is enough to have this performance that exists for him alone.

"Why do you suddenly want to overcome your psychological barrier?" Ji Xing recalled all the books on psychology he had read, trying to help him.

"I don't know. I think it's probably okay if it's you."

"..." Ji Xinghui stepped on the brake and stopped in the middle of the road.What bullshit psychology books, he sighed, and stroked his hair vigorously, "Kid, can you stop talking like that... It's easy to be bullied by bad people."

"Huh? No one can bully me." Lin Fengliang said: "Besides, you are not a bad person."

"...Yes... Oh, forget it, I can't tell you clearly. You don't understand." Ji Xinghui was a little helpless, it was difficult for him to face Lin Fengliang without distracting thoughts.

"Then teach me, I'm a quick learner." Lin Fengliang didn't let him go, "Also, don't really treat me like a child."

"No, no, Brother Fengliang, I was wrong. Are you a brother? Let's stop reasoning in the middle of the road in the middle of the night. Go home." Ji Xinghui turned on the ignition again and started on the road.

Lin Fengliang knew that he was not normal.Habits formed over a long period of time are hard to change. He never took the initiative to communicate with others, then he did not communicate with others, and then he was afraid of communicating with others.No one around him likes him, but he really can't be a well-rounded person, and he has no time or energy to cultivate his social skills.He knew he was isolated and bored inside, but he didn't know what to do or whom to ask.

"I know that I look a bit imbecile and tend to ignore other people's feelings." Lin Fengliang said, "I just don't know how to explain some things, but I can almost understand why people hate me."

Lin Fengliang knew that Zhou Bingxing regarded him as a thorn in his side.He felt that Zhou Bingxing was also working very hard. He obviously had a huge conflict of interests, but on the surface he still had to put on a humble and respectful attitude. He must feel disgusted in his heart when he got along with him almost every day.Therefore, when Zhou Bingxing began to touch his bottom line inexplicably, and frequently ignored the coach's instructions to create encounters on the ice, he probably knew that the other party was venting.But he didn't expect that this was not a vent, but a calculation.You must know that accidental injury is a nightmare for all professional athletes. If you are unlucky, you may say goodbye to your career on the spot.It's just that he was lucky and didn't leave permanent injuries.

So he was really scared this time, people will not always have good luck.He used to think that as long as he was strong enough, he didn't need to take care of other things.But this is far from enough.After all, people have to live in the crowd.No one will protect you 24 hours a day for the rest of your life.If you are stupid, don't blame others for taking advantage of it.

Ji Xinghui didn't speak.

He felt that Lin Fengliang's positioning of himself was very inaccurate, and he was full of words like 'no one likes me' and 'no one wants to be friends with me', but a strong man like him still has inexplicable inferiority complex in his heart.He wants to explain to him that someone likes you, many people like you, like you very much.

On Christmas day, they returned to Gu Rourou's house.The nonsense on Christmas Eve made them barely fall asleep. After the two went back, they took a shower and went to bed, and they didn't go anywhere all day.

After waking up, Lin Fengliang lay on the bed and responded to Xiao Ci's message.Xiao Ci has been sending messages these days, and the words are full of worry, and the words to comfort him seem to be comforting himself.Lin Fengliang read all of them, sometimes he replied with the word "um", which was regarded as a sign of safety, and sometimes he didn't reply.

—The flight tomorrow night will arrive at 9 am the day after tomorrow.

—Okay, I see. I'll pick you up.It's very cold in China, remember to put on more clothes before getting off the plane.

He's leaving here soon, and he's going back.Go back to the place where Ji Xing didn't come back.

But there is also Mr. A.

He clicked on Times, and he had watched all the videos and pictures of Mr. A repeatedly.

He updated a picture, it was an empty ice rink, and the time was in the early hours of this morning.

Ji Xinghui didn't fall asleep all this time, Lin Fengliang seemed to be spinning in his heart at a high speed, making him dizzy.

He quietly took out his body camera, by accident, he didn't notice how he pressed the video button yesterday, and captured the last half minute of Lin Fengliang on the ice.

He transferred this video to his mobile phone and played it repeatedly for an unknown amount of time.

He asked Lin Fengliang twice about his injury before the match, but Lin Fengliang simply ended the topic with a small mistake.He always felt hidden.Open the address book, find Jin Yue's name and click on it.

"Hello?? Do you know what time it is?" A woman's hoarse voice came from the receiver, full of anger.

"Ah? Oh, I didn't pay attention to me..." Ji Xinghui laughed twice, it should be less than four o'clock in the morning in China.

"Tell me, what made you, an idler on vacation, come to me at this time?" Although the other party was angry, he didn't hang up the phone.

"Do you have any weekly sports newspaper reporters or editors you are familiar with? The ones with material in hand." He went straight to the point.

"Yes. What are you doing?"

"Why not, I want to know something, and I'll find you when I get back. You can go to sleep."

Ji Xing hung up the phone a little regretfully, Lin Fengliang and him are from two worlds.He is like an exhibit in a museum. No one will smash the display case and take the exhibit for himself.He is not qualified to ask about him. After tomorrow night, they will go back to their respective tracks. It is hard to say whether they will meet again one day.But he still couldn't help wanting to help him, he even felt a little arrogant that he knew Lin Fengliang's secret, and Lin Fengliang treated him differently.

Airports are crowded during the Christmas holidays.When Ji Xing returned to find a parking space, it was less than half an hour before registration.They hurriedly checked in, and Ji Xinghui took advantage of the time to help Lin Fengliang fill out the exit card.

Lin Fengliang said: "Ji... Brother Xing, thank you for being with me for so many days. I am very happy."

The exit gate was not far ahead, and Ji Xinghui didn't look up at him.After simply explaining a few words to pay attention to safety, he urged to push him into the exit gate.

"Bye." Ji Xing glanced back at him, then quickly looked away.

"Goodbye." Lin Fengliang didn't move.

"how?"

"Will we see you again?" Lin Fengliang asked.

"Who knows. Don't you have my Wechat? Let's go, don't delay the boarding."

Lin Fengliang felt that something was wrong with Ji Xinghui, but he didn't have time to ask in detail.After thinking about it, he mustered up the courage to hug him tightly.

"Thank you." He repeated.Turned around and left.

Ji Xing looked back at his back. Today he was wearing a white sweater, white sweatpants, and white shoes. He tied his purse around his waist, and the small castle on the zipper was dangling.After turning the corner, he was no longer seen.

Ji Xinghui drove back alone.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

You never know when you say goodbye to someone, it's a farewell forever.You always think that there is a chance to see you again, but those unspoken words will never see the sun again.

I should have given him a few more words of encouragement just now.How could I short-circuit at such a critical moment. . .Lin Fengliang kept saying that no one liked him, and he also said that he was afraid.But I failed this trust and did nothing.He is as bad as those who pushed him away.

One after another, planes flew across the night sky like shooting stars, carrying travelers to their destinations.

Lin Fengliang lay at an altitude of [-] feet, recalling the hasty farewell just now.Ji Xinghui didn't even look at him.For the past half month, he has taken care of himself like a child.But I am obviously not young anymore, no one will be permanently patient with an adult.Sure enough, I still can't make a good friend, can't make others happy, and make others like me.

Forget it.

At least he still has Mr. A. Mr. A is lying in his mobile phone, and he can follow behind him through this small electronic screen to collect the good things scattered all over the world.

After flying overnight, Lin Fengliang slept soundly.

After getting his luggage through customs, he went straight to the airport hall.Sure enough, Xiao Ci had already been waiting there.

The two looked at each other, Lin Fengliang smiled for a long time, rushed over and hugged Xiao Ci, and whispered in his ear: I'm back.

This scene was so magical, Xiao Ci felt that he must not have woken up, so he pinched his face hard.

"Aw... hiss, it hurts..." Xiao Ci took the suitcase in Lin Fengliang's hand and asked, "So happy?"

Lin Fengliang thought for a while, then nodded vigorously.

"What are you doing? There are fewer people, better weather, and more beautiful sea water. Why don't I remember anything special?" I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xiao Ci always feels that Lin Fengliang is different.

"It's very special." Lin Fengliang didn't explain much, and followed Xiao Ci through the crowd to the parking lot.

Suddenly, a recording pen was stretched out from the crowd and held up in front of Lin Fengliang

"Hello, Mr. Lin, you didn't respond positively to the recent news reports. Did you escape to go abroad these days?"

Xiao Ci slapped the recording pen away, and shouted angrily: "Which unit do you belong to? Who gave you the right to follow me?"

The other party was not angry, and said with a smile: "I am a reporter, this is my legitimate job. Someone provided us with the return date of Mr. Lin. In public, please pay attention to your image, Mr. Xiao."

Lin Fengliang picked up the recording pen that fell on the ground.Everyone in the club probably knew about his going abroad, so it's not surprising that the reporter knew about it.

He checked the power light of the recording pen, it was still on.

"Training was suspended due to injury. I wanted to go out for a walk during the rare vacation, and I didn't escape." Lin Fengliang said to the recorder: "Most of the previous reports were false. My team should have responded." He was not angry or not Angry, making the reporter a little embarrassed.

Xiao Ci stared at Lin Fengliang dumbfounded, his eyes were uncharacteristically firm, and he answered the reporter's questions directly.

I haven't seen you for half a month. What did this kid go through? Did he figure it out?

"Does Mr. Lin have any plans after that? Will he ask a lawyer to handle it?" the reporter asked.

"This matter is the responsibility of the team. I just need to seriously prepare for the World Championships. From now on, I will focus on the competition."

"Okay, let's wait and see." The reporter didn't bother him too much, and the two disappeared immediately after finishing their official speeches.
