Shixia had just had an operation, and it went well, but she still planned to be on duty at night to observe the condition. When she walked to the door of the office, she happened to see a new intern doctor. The little girl saw her, her eyes lit up, and said: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Du from general surgery came to see you just now, and I told you that you haven't had surgery yet."

"Okay, thank you." Shixia smiled, watching her blushing and running away, with her ponytail flicking, her whole body was full of vigor.She sighed, and pushed open the door of the office. She was tired all day, and there was only death in her body.

The guy on the opposite side was the same as always, and disappeared as soon as it was off work time. Shi Xia was about to clean up, but found a box of exquisitely packaged snacks on her desk. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a post-it note, which said: "I hope that the teacher will not be hungry." There is also a small smiling face drawn on the back, very familiar handwriting, it seems that the blushing is because of this.

"What is this?" Caught off guard, a question came from behind.

Tokia was startled, recognized the familiar voice, turned around helplessly and said, "Dim sum, do you want some?"

The person who came was the "Teacher Du from general surgery" in the previous words, Du Siyuan, Shi Xia's high school classmate, she did not expect that there were only two medical students in the class back then, and in the end they could still be in the same hospital by accident. .

Du Siyuan poked his head and saw the words on the post-it note, and said "tsk tsk" twice: "I don't want to eat, the little girl said 'Don't be hungry, Mr. Shi', and didn't mention Mrs. Du. "

"It's weird." Shixia glanced at her, and opened the box by herself, "If you don't eat, I'll eat. I just had surgery, and I haven't had dinner yet. I'm starving to death."

"Are you still on duty tonight?" Du Siyuan asked as she watched her stuffing snacks into her mouth one by one.

Shixia nodded, swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "Observe, why ask this, are you also on duty?"

"I'm not an intern teacher." Du Siyuan said without eating, but still twisted a piece into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Obviously I am the intern teacher, and those interns like to ask any questions." You, this world that looks at faces."

Shixia looked at the few snacks in the box, touched his stomach, and asked, "Do you still have instant noodles?"

"No, I just finished the last bag at noon." Du Siyuan shrugged.

Shixia kicked her: "What do you want?" Then she took out her mobile phone and started ordering takeaway. At this time, she was slumped on the chair, her white coat was crumpled on both sides of her body, her long hair was loose, a little The "sense of abstinence" that those little girls in the hospital usually yelled about was gone.

"Why are you still here?" Shixia looked at a bunch of takeaways on Meituan that were familiar enough to memorize for a long time, and finally chose a newly opened rice bowl. She picked a picture that looked good. After placing the order, I looked up and found that Du Siyuan was still sitting on the desk shaking his legs, "You just came to chat with me?"

Du Siyuan glanced at her and asked, "Are you going to this class gathering?"

"Go." Tokia turned on the computer, as if preparing to start watching dramas.

The school they graduated from has a history of more than a hundred years. Although it is only located in a small third-tier city, it has produced several famous figures in modern times, which can be regarded as a rich source of humanities.The classmates from that year are now scattered everywhere, but they are all developing well. The annual class gathering will also be held as scheduled around the Spring Festival.

"Well, that one will come back this year, you know?" Du Siyuan looked carefully at Shixia's face, hesitating.

Shixia pressed the pause button, let out a breath, and said, "You know, you are the third person to tell me this news."

"I'll go, who else?!"

"Su Mingli and Cheng Yunqi were chatting privately with me two days ago." Shixia clicked the play button, and the weird lines from the sitcom poured out in the office. She even laughed out loud when she saw something interesting , as if the one who came back was really just a high school classmate who had been away for a long time.

"Are you okay?" The more she said this, the more Du Siyuan felt something was wrong.

Shixia glanced at her helplessly: "What do you think is wrong with me? More than ten years have passed."

How should she be bad?Du Siyuan remained silent. Is it bad to be alone for more than ten years since that person left?Noticing his friend's gloomy expression, Shixia smiled: "I really think I'm pretty good, so don't worry about it, you can't arrange a blind date for me, Mama Du?"

Du Siyuan didn't care about her address, but his expression changed: "Then, do you want to try a blind date?"

Shixia yelled as if she couldn't bear it, dragged her off the desk, and pushed her out the door: "You'd better go back, the interns are waiting for you, hurry up and go away."

"Actually, I think the one who brought you snacks is okay too..." Before she could finish her sentence, Shixia closed the door with a "slap".

The office seemed to be empty all of a sudden. Tokia lowered her eyes and stood there for a while. The protagonists in the series were still talking funny things to each other. From time to time, the laughter that was added in the later stage came out, and she pulled The corner of her mouth felt empty in her stomach for some reason, maybe she was hungry, she thought.

When the Chinese New Year is approaching, City B has become an empty city. Du Siyuan originally wanted to take Shixia back together, but now she is dragging her family with her family, which is much more involuntary than Shixia. She has repeatedly confirmed that Shixia will return to Y this year. After entering the city, she reluctantly boarded the plane.

Tokia dawdled until the 29th, when she finally locked the door, she was dragging the light suitcase, almost at a loss, the destination was clearly printed on the ticket, but no one in that city was waiting for her to go back.

She got off the plane and took a taxi directly to the hotel. She has always stayed in this one. The hotel has been renovated many times in the past ten years. The little girl at the front desk has also become the manager. Seeing her coming in with a suitcase, she greeted her very affectionately. She smiled and greeted, "Here you come? I asked someone to take the box upstairs, and I have already reserved a room for you."

"Thank you." Shixia is very grateful for this kind of polite warmth now, she handed over the box, turned around and went out the door, the master who drove her to the hotel was still waiting outside, she opened the car door and said, "Please go to the Beijiao Cemetery .”

Shixia noticed that the driver glanced at her from the rearview mirror, with a hidden sympathy in his eyes, she ignored it, the journey was too tiring, she just wanted to lie down and rest now.

But not yet.

The cemetery at this time is colder than before, as if all the energy in a city is conserved, and the more joyful other places are, the more desolate this place will be.Shixia has never been to cemeteries in other cities, so I don't know if evergreen pine trees are also planted in other places, but this kind of green not only does not add vitality in winter, but also gives rise to a sense of shrinking and decay.She walked past rows of tombstones, and at the same time felt the cold air seep into her clothes, and she began to miss the heating in City B.Finally Shixia arrived at her destination, she looked at the old man smiling kindly in the photo in front of her, and complained softly: "Old Xu, no one reminded me to add clothes when you were not here."

The flowers in front of the tombstone were brought by her last year. They were plastic and faded long ago. Shi Xia squatted down and moved the flowers to the side, telling herself to remember to take them away and throw them away. She rubbed against the marble block, sorry She smiled calmly and said, "I'm sorry, Lao Xu, I didn't bring you wine this year." She remembered something and took out a pack of cigarettes, "Here, there are cigarettes, but they are for women, you Just a little bit."

She took out the lighter and lit two cigarettes, put one in her mouth, and stuffed the other into the crack in front of the stele: "I asked you to quit smoking for more than 20 years, and the New Year is coming soon, so I will break you. "

The north wind blew over, the light on the cigarette butt was flickering, and the ashes were piling up rapidly, Shi Xia's one was caught in his hand, and he didn't take a puff.When she realized it, the fire almost burned her finger, she quickly snuffed it out, and pulled out the small half from the seam with great effort.

"Let's go, Lao Xu, I'll see you again next year." Shixia stood up crookedly, walked a dozen steps, and then walked back quickly, "Look at me, you said you were going to throw away the flowers of."

She bent down to pick up the flowers, and when she looked up, she saw the posthumous photo. She suddenly clenched her hands tightly, and then smiled coyly like every time she lied unsuccessfully and was found out when she was a child, and said, "She's back, grandpa." This sentence is said too lightly, and it will appear fragmented when the wind blows.

When we left the cemetery, it was already dark. The place is remote and it is difficult to take a taxi. Shixia went to a bus stop not far away as usual. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, one finally arrived. The bus was empty, but Just enough for her to sit down.

When she was approaching the city center, she finally found that the phone had been vibrating in her pocket for a long time, and after quickly taking it out, she found that it had automatically hung up. After checking the call records, she found that all five missed calls were from Su Mingli. All right, call back now.

The other party answered quickly, pointing at Shi Xia's nose and yelling: "What's the matter with you?! It's fine if you don't call us when you come back. How dare you not answer the phone? Is it itchy?"

"It doesn't itch, it doesn't itch." Shi Xia begged for mercy, "I turned on the vibration, didn't I hear it just now?"

Su Mingli calmed down a little, but still said a word: "Your broken mobile phone is on vibration every day, and it depends on fate to get through to you?" Then she softened her tone and said, "If you want to make amends, Get the hell out of here now, it's still the hot pot restaurant before, you're the only one missing."

Before Shixia said anything, the other end hung up. She looked at the blacked-out screen and smiled wryly, this woman.

"Didn't you say I'm the only one missing?" When Xia entered the door, he saw Su Mingli, with Du Siyuan sitting next to him, "Where's Cheng Yunqi?"

Su Mingli stood up and gave her a hug, then slapped her hard on the back: "I'm at home coaxing the children, I'll be there in a while."

Shi Xia coughed because she was photographed, took a sip of the tea Du Siyuan poured for her: "When did you go back to China? Where's your boyfriend?"

Su Mingli shook his hands, as if he didn't want to mention it, but Du Siyuan gave her a blank look and said, "Don't mention it, we're split up again."

"Didn't the circle of friends look good before? How long has it been?" Although she said so, Shi Xia was not very surprised. Her friend, a natural romantic, chased love like the wind chasing catkins. The second estimate is because there is no freshness.

"I'm bored. Hey, let's not talk about this. I heard from Siyuan that there is a little girl in your hospital who has a crush on you?" Su Mingli leaned closer, with a gossipy face.

When Shi Xia squinted at the past, Du Siyuan took a sip of barley tea with a guilty conscience, and then bluffed, "Isn't it true?"

"Tell me, what's going on? Is that girl pretty?"

Du Siyuan didn't feel guilty anymore, nodded and said, "It's pretty, with big eyes and a sharp chin, and a good figure."

"Wow!" Su Mingli let out some kind of unexplained admiration.

Shixia couldn't help but support his forehead: "Am I the same as you? I care about the little girl's figure."

"Caring for you." Su Mingli winked at her.

"It doesn't matter to me. I'm ten years older than her. Do you want to pay attention to the Basic Law?"

Su Mingli flicked her hair, and Shixia was sure that several boys nearby had glanced at her, and she said, "The age difference doesn't matter, it's cute~"

"Please pick up your integrity." Tokia mercilessly covered her face with a tissue.

"Has Mingli lost his morals again?" A sentence came from behind with a smile, and Shixia recognized the voice, but didn't notice Su Mingli's expression that instantly cooled down. She turned around with a smile: "Yunqi, you ..."

Shi Xia was stunned, and she almost began to wonder, could it be that in such an ordinary hot pot restaurant, God finally took pity on her and gave her the dream she had been asking for for many years.

"Zipei..." she heard herself say
