No.70 days

Shao Wu began to work overtime crazily. First, he took these three days off to save a lot of work. Second, he had to find something for himself to do.

Otherwise, he might just buy a ticket to go to Chengdu.

Almost did it.On the first day back to Chongqing, he got off work on time. At 05:30, the sky was still bright. When he opened the 12306 app, a student sent a WeChat message: Teacher, can you help me revise my resume again?

Shao Wu quit 12306 and replied to her WeChat: OK, I will send it to you later.

Then he put his phone in his pocket, leaned against the wall of the light rail station, and let out a long breath.

He has almost made up his mind to go to Chengdu at night, and then buy the high-speed train at 08:30 tomorrow morning, arrive at Chongqing West Railway Station at [-]:[-], and barely arrive at the company at [-]:[-]—it doesn’t matter if he is a few minutes late.

He really wanted to see Yang Shuyi so much, how could he go to another place just after confirming the relationship?

But they will meet again in a few days, and Shao Wu doesn't want to appear too impatient... He is afraid of scaring Yang Shuyi.

So thankfully, the message from the student stopped him in time.

The phone vibrated. It was a text message from Yang Shuyi. Today they sent at least 50 text messages.

Yang Shuyi: Are you off work?

Shao Wu: Well, on the way home

Yang Shuyi: I submitted my resignation application today

Shao Wu: How long will it take?

Yang Shuyi: If it goes well, it will take a week

a week.

There are seven days in a week - that's a good situation, but what if it's not?

Shao Wu didn't ask how long he would have to wait if it didn't go well, he just cheered himself up in his heart, seventy days have passed, what is seven days?

And they're still in touch.

Yang Shuyi asked again: What's for dinner?

There are many restaurants and restaurants next to the company. Usually, Shao Wu would go home after eating, but today he was so concerned about whether to buy a ticket or not that he didn’t eat.

Shao Wu: I ate Malatang

Yang Shuyi: I want to eat too

Shao Wu smiled and asked him: Do you want to eat at the one next to Songji Road?

Yang Shuyi: It has been demolished

Shao Wu: I know

Yang Shuyi: Huh?

Shao Wu: The boss went home to take care of his daughter

Yang Shuyi: How do you know?

Of course the boss told me.Shao Wu remembered what he was doing when he went to Yang Shuyi's house that year?Oh, it seems like I have a summer vacation to visit my mother-in-law and Longlong.That was—what year was it?

When the light rail arrived at the station, Shao Wu was surrounded by the crowd and pushed in.A young boy stood beside him, wearing an oversized black T-shirt, baggy jeans, and a pair of nice dark blue VANS on his feet.He was on the phone, and Shao Wu heard him say in Chongqing dialect: "I don't know, I just finished class!" His tone was very impatient.

Shao Wu recalled his college days, but it was already three years ago.

Yes, it was the summer vacation of 2011. Yang Shuyi and Zou Xin stayed at the school to help the teacher. He went to visit his mother-in-law and Longlong alone. He walked to Songji Street. He wanted to eat a bowl of Malatang, but was told by the boss that the door would be closed up.

It was unbelievable that that was five years ago.After Yang Shuyi's house was demolished, he never went there again—I don't know what it is like now?

The phone rang, and "Shu Yi" was displayed on the screen, and Shao Wu picked it up in a hurry.

"Shao Wu?" Yang Shuyi's tone was a little anxious and cautious, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, on the light rail," Shao Wu said with a smile, "I was distracted just now."

"Scared me," Yang Shuyi also smiled, "How do you know that the boss is home to take care of the child?"

"I'm just kidding."

"……real?"

"Why lie to you," Shao Wu said, "but I know his house is closed—it's demolished."

"Ah."

The two of them stopped talking. After a few seconds of silence, the light rail station announcement sounded in the space: "The station ahead is Guanyin Bridge. The train will open the door on the left..."

Shao Wu came back to his senses and said: "There is a small noodle shop in Guanyin Bridge that is delicious. I'll take you there when you come back." The bench noodle shop, Chen Yimang took him to eat that year—I don't know the voice is slow Is the bar still open?Those Chuanmei boys who wear heavy makeup at night, where are they now?

And Chen Yimang has not been back to Chongqing for many years.Yang Shuyi also left for three years.Shao Wu suddenly felt a burst of sadness, and time slipped away like that, before he had time to notice.

"Okay," Yang Shuyi said, "wait for me to come back."

Shao Wu nodded: "Well, good."

But Shao Wu didn't expect that the first person he waited for was not Yang Shuyi, but Zou Xin's call.On the third night of his return to Chongqing, when he was working overtime in the office, Zou Xin called.Fortunately, he was the only one in the office.

It was an unfamiliar number from Chengdu, Shao Wu picked it up: "Hello?"

"Can we talk?" a husky female voice.

Shao Wu didn't recognize her voice for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Zou Xin."

"..."

"I'll come to Chongqing now, okay? Tomorrow—no, I'll be there tonight, Shaowu, let's meet and talk."

Shao Wu was silent for two seconds: "Let's talk directly now."

"Aren't you together? I bless you, I really bless you, Shao Wu——you are a good match, really." She spoke quickly.

Shao Wu said, "Are you divorced?"

"Tomorrow - Shao Wu, listen to me, it's like this, you see, you are together, and Lao Zhang and I are together, isn't that great? To get married, that's all it takes to get a certificate. At the beginning, our Weddings are all about acting, you know?"

"...what are you trying to say?"

"Don't let him divorce me, okay?" Zou Xin suddenly lowered his voice and begged, "I marry him to get the best of both worlds. His mother-in-law is relieved on his side, and my parents are also relieved on my side. Isn’t it good? Shao Wu—”

Shao Wu was in chaos. He remembered that when he met Zou Xin before the wedding, Zou Xin still acted like he didn't care about getting married or not getting married, as if Yang Shuyi was begging her—why is she begging him instead?

"I promise, I promise that I will visit his mother-in-law every month in the future, and I will behave as you want me to do, okay? By the way, isn't Yang Shuyi going to pay for her sister to go to school? How about I pay the money for that?" , How about I give Longlong 1 yuan a month? My family has several houses in Beijing. If Longlong wants to live in it, I can—”

Shao Wu hung up the phone directly.

Zou Xin called again, Shao Wu hung up and turned off the phone.

He didn't want to torture or take revenge on Zou Xin, he just... didn't know how to react.In the final analysis, this was between Yang Shuyi and her. It was Yang Shuyi who wanted to divorce her, and Yang Shuyi had the right to choose.

The office was extremely quiet. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the opposite office building. It was already 47:[-] in the evening, and the opposite building was half dark.Shao Wu just looked at the building like this, and saw a crescent moon low and low, as if it was about to touch the edge of the tall building.More than ten minutes later, Shao Wu turned on the phone again.

He couldn't just shut down the phone, in case his family called him, or his colleagues had something to do... Besides, there was also a text message from Yang Shuyi.He didn't want to miss Yang Shuyi's text message.

Zou Xin was very savvy, she didn't call again after Shao Wu turned off the phone.

However, she sent a text message:

Shao Wu, have you ever thought about what if Yang Shuyi meets another woman he likes in the future?Will he abandon you to marry a woman?Dare you say you have confidence in him?If we don't get divorced, at least he won't marry another woman, right?If it's with me, at least you know that our marriage is fake... You think about it again, we have an appointment for divorce tomorrow morning, and you still have one night.

Shao Wu directly deleted her text messages and blocked her number.

Then he sat back in front of the computer and began to revise the Personal Statement in the application documents for the students.This is a boy from Chongqing Technology and Business University with good grades and wants to study business in the United States.It's a pity that although he has good grades, he has no impressive internship experience.Shao Wu thought about it over and over again, and then talked with him on WeChat, discussing while revising.

Almost every sentence has been corrected, and even the phone is hot. The always patient boy finally changed his tone. He broke down and said, "Teacher, are you still off work?"

Shao Wu glanced at the time, it was already 09:30.

"Oh, I didn't notice, it's so late," Shao Wu said, "Then let's do it for today."

The boy broke down even more: "Continue tomorrow?! You are too responsible, teacher?!"

Shao Wu: "It should."

"Brother! Please! Tomorrow is my girlfriend's birthday!"

Shao Wu smiled: "Then the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'll talk about it the day after tomorrow! Bye!"

Shao Wu hung up the phone.

He turned off the computer, locked the door with his backpack, and walked out of the company quickly.He didn't go home directly, but walked into a Japanese grocery store.At this time, there are still many customers in the Japanese grocery store.Shao Wu sat down and ordered a set meal for two.

The waiter brought him two sets of tableware, and Shao Wu said, "Only myself."

"Ah, then you ordered a little too much," the waiter said enthusiastically, "Our soba noodles are quite large."

"It's okay, I'll pack it if I can't finish it—you can serve the food slowly."

"……OK."

The waiter's eyes became meaningful, and Shao Wu didn't know what he thought of.

Will he be regarded as the kind of office worker who has a lot of work pressure and doesn't want to go home to face his wife and children, so he comes to the restaurant to pass the time?

In fact, he just wanted to find something to do for himself.Whether it's work or eating, he has to find something to do for himself. Anyway, just tonight, he believes that he can find something to get through the night.

He admitted that he was not confident enough.He didn't know how bent Yang Shuyi was, maybe Yang Shuyi didn't bend at all, but was moved by his feelings for so many years.Didn't everyone in the circle say that sexuality doesn't change.

And whether he was willing to admit it or not, the fact was the same - if Zou Xin hadn't cheated, then Yang Shuyi would not have been with him at all.It's not that he deliberately belittled himself as a spare tire, that's not the case, it's just that he was able to be with Yang Shuyi, which itself was full of luck.Zou Xin cheated, and Yang Shuyi didn't meet a better girl for the time being. He went to Wenchuan to find Yang Shuyi, and the falling rocks on the mountain road... This is a link. together.

It's a fluke, isn't it?

Because of luck, it is inevitable to feel guilty.

The waiter brought up the sushi, and Yang Shuyi's text message also came:

Are you off work?

Shao Wu turned his phone upside down and started eating sushi.The octopus meat is very tough, three pieces of sushi, chewed for about 5 minutes?

Then he replied to Yang Shuyi's text message:

No, still busy, contact me tomorrow.

Yang Shuyi replied in seconds:

Okay, don't be too tired, go to bed early.

Shao Wu put the phone in his pocket, and simply didn't look at it.

He began to taste his Japanese food seriously, sushi, tempura, soba noodles, maybe the seasoning of the Japanese food is relatively light?After tasting for a long time, I didn't taste anything.

Nearly 10:30, Shao Wu arrived home.

On a normal working day, he would feel sleepy after eleven o'clock.But today, today he was very tired from working overtime, and he couldn't make it out of eating a set meal for two at the Japanese grocery store. It stands to reason that he should be sleepy.He should have slept without taking a shower, and it just so happened that he would not go to work tomorrow. When he woke up, at twelve noon, Yang Shuyi had already received his divorce certificate.

But now he just doesn't feel sleepy at all.Not at all.

Shao Wu stood in the living room silently for half a minute, then he grabbed the mop, took a basin of water, and went to the roof.After not cleaning for many days, some bird droppings accumulated on the roof... Shao Wu poured water on the ground and started mopping the floor.

After mopping the floor, he started to assemble his recliner again.The express delivery of the recliner arrived last month, and he has been too lazy to take it apart, so he finally took it apart tonight.According to the drawings, toss for nearly half an hour, and you're done.Shao Wu dragged the recliner to the roof, feeling that he was short of a parasol, so he opened Taobao and began to pick out parasols...

Shao Wu didn't know when he fell asleep.

Later, he seemed to be very sleepy, he didn't change his pajamas, and fell asleep wrapped in a bath towel... A dozen parasols were added to the shopping cart, round, square, Korean-style luminous, double-boned, double-layered... What the hell?

It was eleven past five in the morning.Thirteen hours and 8 minutes have passed since Yang Shuyi sent him a text message last night.

Are they divorced?

What time does the Civil Affairs Bureau go to work in the morning?

Shaowu got up unsteadily, after washing, he squatted on the chair and ate the soba noodles packed last night.Today is a cloudy day, but the temperature is two degrees higher than yesterday.Shao Wu put on a coat, packed cigarettes and a mobile phone, and went up to the rooftop.The rooftop is clean and tidy, and the deck chairs that were assembled last night were also spotless.Shao Wu lay down on it and shook it back and forth, feeling very good.

He lit a cigarette and smoked it very slowly, hoping that after smoking this cigarette—or this pack of cigarettes—he would receive a call from Yang Shuyi, telling him that he was divorced.

But in fact there were only three cigarettes left in the pack.Shao Wu said in his heart, Yang, you better hurry up.

The first one is gone.

Finished the second one.

The third cigarette——When Shao Wu lit the third cigarette, he glanced at his phone, it was eleven past twelve.Not to mention divorce, this morning's time is enough to hold a wedding!

With a click, Shao Wu lit the third cigarette.

The rooftop was very quiet. With his eyes closed, he swayed gently on the recliner with a cigarette in his hand.It's a bit breezy today, muggy, like it's about to rain.When more than half of the cigarette had been smoked, Yang Shuyi still didn't call him or send him a text message.

Didn't this dog send text messages very attentively a few days ago?

"Squeak-"

Shao Wu opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

The old anti-theft door on the rooftop was pushed open by one hand.

Then, Yang Shuyi, carrying a bulging backpack, appeared in front of his eyes.

Shao Wu shook his hand, and the cigarette between his fingers fell out.

"You—" Why are you here? Didn't you say it will take at least a week? !

"Leaving." Yang Shuyi said.

He unloaded the backpack, opened the zipper, took out a small green book from inside, and handed it to Shao Wu.

It's a divorce certificate...well, yes.

Shao Wu pinched the divorce certificate: "Is your resignation done?"

"No," Yang Shuyi looked straight at Shao Wu, "I don't reply to text messages anymore, how dare I wait for the formalities to be completed?"

"..."

"Zou Xin showed me the text message she sent you," Yang Shuyi sighed softly, "She provoked you and then provoke me, telling me that Shao Wu has no confidence in you at all, so it's better not to divorce, so Shao Wu is relieved..."

Shao Wu quickly said, "I didn't say that!"

"I know," Yang Shuyi paused, "but you really don't have confidence in me, do you?"

"..."

"I don't know what to do to make you completely at ease..." He squatted down halfway, looked at Shao Wu with a helpless expression, "give me some time, okay?"

Shao Wu also looked at him, nodded for a while.

Yang Shuyi then leaned forward, put his hands around Shao Wu's waist, and his lips were pressed against Shao Wu's ears again, the air flow poured into the ear canal when he spoke, and he felt a little itchy: "I was so anxious just now, knock your door door, no one answered..."

Shao Wu's ears turned red immediately, he wanted to ask how did you know to come to the rooftop to find me?But before he could ask, Yang Shuyi kissed him lightly and slowly.

It was a restrained kiss, their lips just touched.

Shao Wu thought it was over.

After all, Yang Shuyi said, give him some time.

However, Yang Shuyi turned around, took out another item from his backpack, and put it in his hand.

"Don't believe a word of Zou Xin's words, I...I really love you," he seemed a little embarrassed, so he stumbled, "I will prove it to you now, okay?"

What he stuffed into Shao Wu's hand was a box with a cover.

Shao Wu: "..."

Then he took something out of his backpack.

lubricating fluid.

It all happened so fast that Shao Wu could hardly react.So now, are you going to go downstairs and go home right now?It's over, I've already reacted.

What should I say now?Shao Wu racked his brains and said: "You, you are quite well prepared..." No, no, it's not the time to say such things, is it? !

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Shuyi's mouth, he pursed his lips, and nodded shyly.

"I have been studying online for the past few days," he said.
