cold flame

There were more conversations on the way back than when we came here. Gao Wenxuan held the steering wheel and spoke first: "I suddenly changed my mind after seeing you on stage tonight."

"What do you mean?"

"My parents asked me to advise you to leave your job and find another job."

Lin Mo was not surprised by his parents' thoughts at all, and still mocked: "It seems that you can persuade me."

"I don't persuade you, there are ways to make you leave." He smiled and glanced at Lin Mo, "You know that."

Lin Mo understood, based on his understanding of Gao Wenxuan, of course he knew that the other party was a person who did not care about the means, so he said coldly, "I hate others threatening me the most."

"That's not a threat, you can say it's a transaction. However, I don't want you to hate me yet."

Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at Gao Wenxuan. There was no longer a half-smile expression on his face, but he focused on looking ahead, aware of Lin Mo's gaze, and smiled back at him with a soft curve on his lips.

"Don't worry, I will convince my parents. Doing a job you like should make you happier."

"I'd be happier if you could convince them to let me rent out."

"There's nothing I can do to help." I don't know if it was Lin Mo's illusion, but Gao Wenxuan's voice was a little joyful.

"Aren't you tired of picking up and dropping off like this every day?"

Gao Wenxuan asked instead: "Are you caring about me?"

"No." Lin Mo unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, then continued, "I know you pick me up and drop off, but you just followed my parents' wishes and supervised me."

"It's about caring." Gao Wenxuan corrected.

At this point in the conversation, Lin Mo rested his head on the back of the chair, looking at the cold and deserted street outside, the exhaustion after the first day of work came quietly, although he was still confused and uncertain about the future, but at this moment, It turned out to be the first peace of mind he felt after coming back.

Like the mood of some reunion after a long absence.Maybe what Gao Wenxuan said is right, the satisfaction of doing what one likes comes from the bottom of his heart.

In the next few days, Lin Mo gained a moment of peace around twelve o'clock. In the small space filled with cold air, the gossip gradually lost its initial cold edge. Classical piano music always It lingers gently when he closes his eyes and takes a nap at the right time, like covering a person with an air conditioner with a thin layer of blanket, making him more comfortable.

All these made Lin Mo forget the trace of fatigue hidden behind the thick smile when the other party came to pick him up every night.

"Hey, it's rare to see you alone, let's go together." Lin Zi packed up his things, and walked to Lin Mo's side with a long guitar on his back.

He is tall, wearing a black T-shirt and wide jeans. His hair is slightly longer than the average boy's and is pinned to the back of the ear, revealing two small silver rings on the ear. With sharp facial features, he looks rebellious and stern. between boys and men.

After a few days of getting along, Lin Mo understood the character of the other party. He seemed to be cynical, but in fact he behaved casually. He just graduated from university. Although he didn't get a diploma, Lin Zi didn't say the reason. Lin Mo didn't think it was strange I didn't bother to ask.

Sometimes I come early or chat with Lin Zi during intermission. Although he is far from being a good friend, Lin Mo feels that getting along with him is very easy. Maybe it is because he is the same age and loves music. Maybe, it is Because the other party said - they are the same kind of people.

At this moment, Lin Zi raised his arm behind Lin Mo. The latter knew what he was going to do, and deliberately took a big step forward, avoiding the arm that was trying to put it on his shoulder.

"Don't be so sensitive." Lin Zi smiled and followed, "Although I noticed you when I saw you for the first time, but ah, you are not my type. Good-looking is good-looking, too cold."

Lin Mo glanced at him lightly, "What a coincidence, you are not my type either."

"Although I'm a bit disappointed to hear you say that, I have to say that you still have a good eye." Lin Zi put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked seriously, "Why didn't you see him today?"

"You care a lot."

Gao Wenxuan is on a business trip.The hospital has an exchange seminar in city D, and every department in the hospital will send doctors to attend. Fortunately, city D is in a neighboring province, and they can come back tomorrow.

It's just that there is no way to pick him up today, this is what the other party sent a text message to say at night.

"After all, we are also colleagues. Hey, it's still early, do you want to have a barbecue together?"

"No." Lin Mo looked at the person walking not far ahead, and said expressionlessly, "I'm not a light bulb."

That person has peach blossom eyes and slender eyebrows. Although he is a man, he has a bit of girlish charm on his face. It turns out that this is the type that Lin Zi likes.

The other party walked up to Lin Zi in two or three steps, Lin Zi stretched out his arms and hugged him beside him, "Why are you waiting for me here instead of going to the store?"

"I was playing with my friend at another house." After finishing speaking, he pretended to see Lin Mo, "Is he from your band? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I just came here a few days ago." Lin Mo obviously felt a flash of hostility in the other party's eyes. Lin Zi turned to look at Lin Mo and waved his hand, "I'm leaving first, and I'll ask you for supper next time."

Lin Mo nodded and watched him walk across the street with one hand in his trouser pocket while still holding the boy with the other hand. Although it was late at night and there were only a few people on the road, Lin Mo knew that it was not very easy to come in the right direction. Care about the eyes of others.

Looking at the straight back with the guitar on his back, Lin Mo suddenly felt a little envious.For the point of "frankness", he has never been 100%, even in the face of his own heart.

The summer heat is fierce, even at night, the trend does not decrease. The high temperature immediately climbs up against the skin after getting out of the car. Lin Mo felt the clothes on his back sticking to his body before he took a few steps. The neatly trimmed bushes on the roadside of the community In the garden, it seems that Xia Chan is hiding under every leaf, chirping in unison, restless and bored.

The phone rang suddenly, Lin Mo took it out to look at it, stayed for a few seconds, and then pressed to connect.

"Hey."

"Still outside?" I don't know if it was because of the night, Gao Wenxuan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded deeper than usual,

"Well, I just arrived in the community."

The other party only said a few words softly, "That's good."

Then there was a moment of silence, Lin Mo thought for a while, and found a random topic, "Have you finished the meeting?" After asking, he realized that this question was a bit redundant, and it was already past twelve o'clock.

"Just finished. Temporary discussion meeting, until now."

Lin Mo thought of the text message that the other party came in at night, and couldn't help asking: "Did you go there after get off work?"

"Well, it was originally another colleague. That colleague suddenly had something to do, so he called me here urgently."

Unconsciously slowing down, he replied casually, "That's it."

"Come back tomorrow and I can pick you up."

Gao Wenxuan's voice was very soft, and it reached Lin Mo's ears very clearly. He replied "Yes" casually, thinking that the other party drove to pick him up every night a few days ago, and he was so busy today, so he continued: "No It’s okay, I’ll take a taxi back by myself.”

There was a chuckle from the other side, but the other party ignored the words, "Are you here?"

Lin Mo saw the small warm orange light in the front hall, and replied, "Here we are."

"Then go home and rest quickly." Gao Wenxuan said the words of urging leisurely.

"Ah."

"Good night."

"Well, I'm hanging up."

Taking down the hot mobile phone, Lin Mo looked up before stepping into the hall. The dark buildings stood around, and the edges and corners of the top floor were meekly hidden in the night. Looking further away, it was a picture dotted with The evening painting of the broken star.

Tomorrow must be a sunny day.
