Zining has no sound

Gui Zipei came with her family. She simply said hello and left, so this reunion after 13 years seemed as light as a joke.In fact, Shixia didn't lose her composure very much, but even that momentary daze made her seem to be at a disadvantage in this protracted battle.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Halfway through eating, Tokia put down his chopsticks and walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing her figure go away, Su Mingli grabbed Cheng Yunqi and asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring her here?" Du Siyuan also looked disapproving beside him.

"I just met at the door, I didn't expect such a coincidence." Cheng Yunqi carefully rescued his sleeve from the clutches of the devil, "Besides, we will see each other sooner or later."

"I think," Du Siyuan said slowly, "if it's possible to see him, it's better not to."

Su Mingli also nodded and echoed, "It's been 13 years, what's the matter with jumping out now?"

"Tch." Cheng Yunqi sneered, and his words immediately became sharper, "You also know that it's been 13 years, but any deep cut should be healed after so many years, but look at Tokia's behavior, it doesn't count. Are you ready? What’s the matter, don’t want to treat it, but let it rot?”

"Then, how uncomfortable Shixia is..." Su Mingli seemed to lose his fresh appearance all of a sudden, empathizing with the pain that his best friend was bound to suffer.

"You two just get used to her." Cheng Yunqi put down the cup in his hand, and said, "Of course Gui Zipei is a knife, but if you don't cut and remove the sores, how can the flesh grow back?"

Coincidentally, Tokia came across this knife in the bathroom.

The meeting just now was too hasty, not to mention that Tokia was still immersed in some kind of myth and delusion, and didn't have time to look at her carefully.Gui Zipei is almost completely different from before. The little girl with a round face seems to have been completely sealed by the master because she is too immature, through perfect makeup, sharp high heels and exquisite hairstyle with every curve.

By the way, there are eyes.When Shixia looked into Gui Zipei's eyes, her usual fear and shyness in her girlhood had disappeared, replaced by a calmness born of self-confidence, just like now, she met Shixia generously eyes, and even showed a decent smile.

"Long time no see." The voice also changed, and the smell of milk became the smell of wine.

Tokatsu almost began to doubt whether the person standing in front of him now, who could almost be regarded as a model of modern independent women, was the little girl who secretly exchanged vows with her before.Maybe it's just because they look alike. Thinking of this, she smiled back and said, "Long time no see."

"You don't seem to have changed much." Gui Zipei was washing his hands, and then said this sentence like a casual greeting.

"Really?" At this time Tokatsu gradually recovered from the huge sense of confusion, but he didn't know how to answer this sentence.

"Do you have time tomorrow? I think we can find a place to drink something." Guizi Pai paused, probably because she was trying to take out a paper from the paper machine to wipe her hands, "Then, chat .”

Tokia thought, maybe a chat is acceptable, after all, they have lived without each other for 13 years, and there are too many things that can be used to whitewash the peace.

"it is good."

After returning to her seat, Su Mingli complained about why she had been there for so long, Shixia smiled and said, "There are too many people." She didn't say that she had accepted Gui Zipei's appointment, and there were some things she wanted to figure out alone , without involving friends.

Cheng Yunqi glanced at her and said nothing.

It seems that the start of school in Y City is accompanied by heavy rain every year. Due to Lao Xu's mistake in setting the alarm clock, Tokia had to face the fate of being late on the first day of high school.When she found the door of the classroom panting heavily, her whole body was already wet as if she had just been fished out of the water. Tokia knocked on the door nervously, calmed down, and shouted, "Report."

"Come in." A quick reply came from inside.

Tokia carefully turned the doorknob, then bowed ninety degrees driven by guilt, and sincerely apologized: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Before the teacher's forgiveness, she was greeted by laughter all over the classroom. She straightened up in a daze, only to see a flushed girl standing on the podium, staring at her with rounded eyes.

"This is not an example." When the laughter subsided for a while, a middle-aged man with a clear appearance standing at the back of the classroom smiled and said, "You should find a seat to sit down first."

Shixia scratched her short hair and found an empty seat. She thought that the two seats were empty, but after she put down her schoolbag, she found that there was already a small, beige pencil case on the table next to her.

"Is there anything else you want to introduce?" Gao Lin—the middle-aged man, their class teacher for the next three years—asked the girl on the podium very gently.She shook her head, the blush on her face still not fading.

"Thank you, then we welcome the next classmate to introduce himself." Gao Lin applauded first, and the girl got off the podium. Tokia didn't expect that she was the owner of the beige pencil case.The applause rang for a long time, but the next person remained silent for a long time.

"Teacher, are you done with the introduction?" a boy shouted.

"Then just let the late classmate come to the finale." The class teacher's voice came from behind with a smile, and Tokia blushed, touched his nose, and went up.

She didn't wear glasses, but she still saw a few familiar faces when she glanced down. After a summer vacation, it was quite dark. summer, summer." She paused, looked at the whole class in dismay, and then said dryly, "It's gone."

"Pfft—" I don't know who was the first to laugh out loud, and then the air in the classroom became cheerful, and Gao Lin couldn't help laughing. He walked to the front, waved his hand and let Shixia go back, saying: " It was a really good finale..."

When Xia Xia took her seat, her new deskmate hadn't put away the smile on her face. Seeing that the class teacher didn't notice her, the girl leaned over and whispered, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"No, I really don't know what to say." Shi Xia's voice became even more dry.

"My name is Gui Zipei. Nice to meet you." Her voice was trembling because of her deliberately low voice, like sweet milk.

When Shixia woke up from the dream, she turned on her phone and checked the time, it was not yet three o'clock in the morning.The phrase "Nice to meet you" still lingered in her ears, pulling her out of sleep like a curse, Shi Xia simply got up and boiled some hot water, she stared at the kettle in the lonely light in the middle of the night Cue lights trance.

This is the first time she has dreamed of Gui Zipei in 13 years.

She doesn't understand, if it is said that there are thoughts day by day and dreams by night, then why is she silent when she is most resentful, silent when she is most humble and only seeks a dream for comfort, but now, in a scene The absurd intrusion into her sleep after an almost pointless reunion?Shixia admits that she has never forgotten Gui Zipei, but love, she smiled wryly, love has deteriorated under the long-term fermentation, and what she is looking for now is just a result.

"Sorry, I'm late." When Shixia arrived at the coffee shop, Gui Zipei had already ordered coffee.It was already thirty, but the store was not deserted, there were several couples sitting by the window.

"No, I came early." Gui Zipei brushed his hair and said, "I'll order American style for you."

"Thank you." Shixia fiddled with the coffee cup. This was her previous taste, but during the past few years as a doctor, the irregular work and rest had tortured her stomach extremely tricky, and now she no longer drinks coffee at all.But there's no need to say it.

"I..." Gui Zipei hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know where to start, "I heard that you are a doctor, which department are you in? Will the work be tiring?"

"Neurosurgery. It's not bad, but I still prefer surgery to outpatient surgery."

Gui Zipei smiled: "You are still not used to dealing with people."

Tokia didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement: "What about you?"

"Me?" Gui Zipei seemed surprised that she would ask herself, but she was actually ready to try her best to find a topic.

"What did you study abroad, what job do you do now, and so on."

"I majored in journalism at Columbia University, and then started a business with a few friends, and became the company's spokesperson." Gui Zipei talked about her affairs in a few words, but she smiled at the end, "In this way, All I do is deal with other people."

"Very powerful." Shi Xia praised.The topic seemed to be cut off just like that, and the atmosphere became a little cold.

"Would you like something to eat?" Gui Zipei pushed the menu towards her, Tokia really felt a little hungry, and after saying thank you, she looked through it.

"I still remember when we secretly used grandpa's tangerine peel to make soup, but we were scolded." Gui Zipei deliberately relaxed his tone, trying to resolve the embarrassment just now, "By the way, how is grandpa's health? "

backfires.

Shixia's hand flipping through the menu paused, she didn't want to look too pitiful, she just said calmly: "He passed away during the winter vacation of my freshman year."

"I'm sorry, I, I don't know." At this time, Gui Zipei's face finally showed some kind of helplessness that was familiar to Shixia, and she almost started to feel sorry for her, so Shixia opened his mouth to relieve the situation: " In fact, it's okay, grandpa is getting old, but let nature take its course."

Then Shi Xia Chong, the little girl standing behind the cashier, waved and said, "Excuse me, I want to order."

"Then where do you live now?" Gui Zipei asked as soon as the waiter walked away, looking a little urgent.

"The hotel is the one near the school."

"Can I find you?"

Tokia glanced at her and said, "Okay." Then she thought about it and added, "But I'm going back to City B on the sixth day of the junior year."

Gui Zipei nodded understandingly: "After all, he is a doctor."

"Are you going back to America later?" Tokika said.

"No, I won't leave when I come back this time." She sighed, revealing a little tiredness, "I've been to too many places, but in the end I still think domestic is better."

"It is indeed more and more convenient now, and it will be very comfortable to stay at home." Shixia nodded.

"Don't you want to go out for a walk?"

"Nowhere to go."

Gui Zipei pursed her lips and said, "I went to Venice the year before last. I remember you said that you liked the Bridge of Sighs very much."

"I like it very much now." Shixia looked over with a very calm gaze, "but I don't want to pass under it in a boat."

"Why?" Gui Zipei's eyes became sharp.

"Your mango mousse, please use it slowly." The tense atmosphere was punctured by the waiter, Tokia moved his eyes away, smiled politely, and when he looked down, he found a chubby big blessing lying on the side of the plate.

"I don't seem to have ordered this." Tokia said hesitantly.

The girl squinted her eyes and said, "This is for you, because you look so good-looking!"

Tokatsu laughed dumbfounded, but still said "thank you".

"You're welcome." The girl walked briskly when she left, as if something great had happened.

When Shi Xiacha put a piece of mousse into her mouth, it was delicious, but all she could do was continue to eat a mouthful in silence, instead of shouting to the person opposite with a face full of surprise: "This is delicious!" Eat!", and then used his own fork to send a piece into her mouth, such a good time has passed, no matter how good it is, it has passed.

Afterwards they talked about other innocuous things, what they had learned about their travels, their joys or troubles at work, and they didn't mention love a word, they were very cautious.

When leaving, Gui Zipei asked casually, "Don't you like coffee?"

Shi Xia froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I haven't had coffee for a long time."

See, why do you have to say it? It's not to accuse others of leaving without saying goodbye for many years.
