chasing deer

Lin Shen once thought that he and Yao Lu would stay together until the end of their lives, and live an ordinary life until the last second of their lives. However, the ignorant love of young people is like an epiphyllum. Although it is beautiful, it is fleeting. Apart from pain and hatred, Nothing was left for him.

So he dug a grave in his heart and buried that person and those things without a tombstone or seal. He hoped that with the passage of time, he would gradually forget it, erase all his love, and smooth all his hatred.

On the 23rd of the year, a cold current swept across this small northern city, the temperature dropped to minus 22 degrees, and the wind was bitter.

Lin Shen parked the car downstairs in the city's Huating Community. As the New Year approached, his grandparents told his mother several times that he missed Xiaoshen, but he was always busy with work. Today, he finally found time to go back to the old house and visit the two elderly people.

When he reached the 19th floor, Lin Shen got out of the elevator, and instead of walking in immediately, he stood in front of the sealed window in the corridor, looking out the window in rapt attention.

The pedestrians on the ground are bustling, like a silent movie, the sun shines in through the dusty glass, for some reason, every time he returns here, his memory will always be pulled back to that long past.

"I'll show you the scenery on the 19th floor. You haven't looked down from such a high place, have you?"

"I climbed Ewha Mountain, well, it's much higher than your house, more than 800 meters!"

"That's different, come and see."

Standing on the balcony, Lin Shen opened the window, pushed Yao Lu to the window, and said, "You have to look through the window to have fun."

Yao Lu poked his head out cautiously, glanced down, his legs felt weak immediately, Lin Shen immediately put his arms around his waist, and said with a smile, "No way, you have a fear of heights?"

Yao Lu held on to the window frame tightly, let out a long breath, and said, "Let me, let me get used to it."

"Don't be afraid!" Lin Shen hugged him tightly from behind, and said in a low voice, "I'll support you, you won't fall..."

That was Yao Lu's first visit to his house. At that time, they were only at the same table. However, he had already liked Yao Lu at that time, but he didn't dare to say it.

However, Yao Lu did not reject being in close contact with him, presumably because he had a secret affection for him, so the two developed very smoothly, and soon confessed their hearts to each other, and began a sweet teenage love.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, they have been sweet for only half a year, everything collapsed like a blasted building, then collapsed in dust, and soon disappeared completely.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen smiled. Recently, he would think of the past from time to time. Maybe he was really old and started to miss the past.

Back at the old house, grandma and grandpa were so happy to see their grandson from ear to ear. Lin Shen asked about the health of the two elders, and chatted with them for a long time, telling some interesting things about work, which made the elders laugh .

When it was evening, he checked the time, and it was almost time to leave, so he said goodbye to his grandparents, walked slowly to the corridor, and prepared to take the elevator.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a man standing in front of the corridor window, with a bag on his back and a trolley case next to him, with his back facing him and his head against the window, without moving.

Seeing this familiar figure from behind, Lin Shen was stunned for a moment.

The man seemed to realize that Lin Shen was fixed behind him, but he didn't move. Lin Shen kept staring at his back. After a while, the man slowly stood up straight and turned around slowly. The next moment, a handsome face was reflected on Lin Shen. Deep eyes.

In an instant, countless memories rolled up in turbulent waves, and the past seven years ago flashed by, and finally only turned into that person's name, which was frozen in Lin Shen's mind.

He never expected that after being separated for so many years, the two met so unexpectedly. They stared at each other and remained silent.

After a long time, Lin Shen spoke first, and said in a deep voice, "Yao Lu?"

Yao Lu didn't speak, looked at him, and nodded slowly.

Thousands of words flooded Lin Shen's mind, and then all of them sank, and then he asked, "What are you here...for?"

Yao Lu didn't answer immediately, but looked at a loss, as if he was thinking about what to say. Seeing this, Lin Shen frowned, waiting impatiently for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"I, I'll take the elevator." Yao Lu stammered.

Lin Shen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said word by word: "Huh? Sit, lift, elevator?"

"I, I just got off the plane." Yao Lu said guiltily, "I came back by the airport bus and got off the wrong bus..."

Lin Shen raised his hand, wearing a leather glove on his slender hand, rubbed his forehead, and teased, "If I remember correctly, isn't your home in the Tuanjie Community on Qianjin Road? Did you get off the wrong car? Heping Road? "

Yao Lu was immediately speechless, then lowered his head, rubbing his right foot gently on the ground.

Lin Shen glanced at his feet, and asked ambiguously: "I haven't seen you for many years, do you miss me? Huh? So come here to see if you can meet me?"

"I haven't." Yao Lu lowered his head and whispered.

"Huh? Nothing?"

"I didn't expect to meet you."

Lin Shen nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "That is to say, you really missed me, so you came here to have a look, but you didn't expect to meet me?"

Yao Lu immediately raised his head, stared at Lin Shen, pursed his lips, and seemed to see the mockery in Lin Shen's eyes. After a brief silence, he quickly calmed down and changed into a cold and calm demeanor.

"You're thinking too much!" He said indifferently, "I just haven't been back for a few years, and with... nostalgic mentality, I came here to revisit the old place."

These words made Lin Shen's heart twitch immediately, and in an instant, those smoky fragments of the past poured out again, and he couldn't control his heart to feel hatred. Is it for nostalgia?

"Nostalgia? What is nostalgia?" Lin Shen sneered, "What is your nostalgia here?"

Yao Lu froze at first, and then whispered: "Lin Shen, don't talk like that, you and I were classmates, and we were still ignorant when we went to school, so many years have passed, and the unpleasantness that happened, why should we still hold grudges to this day? "

Hearing this, Lin Shen's hatred grew stronger, and he immediately retorted: "Not sensible? Well, if you insist on saying this, I don't care about it with you. But you say I hold grudges till now? Yao Lu, you are Gao Underestimated yourself? Or underestimated me?"

Yao Lu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled up the suitcase and said, "I have to go home. My parents are still waiting for me at home, so I'll go first."

Seeing that Yao Lu was about to leave, Lin Shen suddenly regretted it again.

Not seeing each other for many years, he thought he had completely forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, the moment he saw Yao Lu, his emotions became uncontrollable in an instant, whether it was hatred or indifference, no matter what, it all came from At this moment, people are about to leave, but they haven't said anything, and he still doesn't know anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately shouted: "Wait."

Yao Lu stopped at his feet, Lin Shen thought for a while, calmed down, and said softly, "Don't rush away, the old classmate finally met, how about a chat?"

Yao Lu turned around, looked at Lin Shen, and asked softly, "What are you talking about?"

"Talk casually." Lin Shen said softly, "Talk about what you have been doing all these years, and how are you doing?"

"I'm alright."

"Have you stayed in Hangzhou since you graduated from college?"

"Ah."

"Which company? What job?"

"Hangcheng Tuoxin Electric, accountant." Yao Lu replied, and after a short pause, he added: "Our company is very large, and there are many accountants in the finance department. I am mainly responsible for material analysis."

Lin Shen nodded. He only had a rough understanding of the profession of accounting, but he had heard of Tuoxin Electric. A well-known listed company should have a huge financial department. So he politely praised "Not bad".

"What about you? What are you doing?" Yao Lu asked.

"Me?" Lin Shen said with a smile, "I started a small company and did some small business by myself."

"What business?" Yao Lu asked again.

"Hmm..." Lin Shen thought for a while and replied, "Press the road."

"Pressing the road?" Yao Lu looked at him in confusion, and asked in puzzlement, "What kind of job is this?"

"I'm just kidding you!" Lin Shen said with a smile, "I do infrastructure construction, and most of the work is repairing roads. Today I dig it up, and the electricity comes in. I will bury it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I dig it up, and I come in for heating. , I will help bury it the day after tomorrow, and dig it up the day after tomorrow..."

"Okay, okay." Yao Lu interrupted him and said, "I understand."

Lin Shen glanced at Yao Lu, thinking that he graduated from the second-class trash, and went through the wind and rain every day, but this is a high-achieving student of Hangzhou University, sitting in an office with bright and clean windows, and all this is thanks to this person. Can't help feeling resentful again.

"What? Do you feel like a contractor?"

"No! I didn't mean that." Yao Lu hurriedly said, "Your profession is very good, yes, yes..." He seemed to be talking for a while, and finally said suddenly: "It is the logistics support of the entire city, very good!"

When Lin Shen heard this, he laughed wildly, tears came out of the laughter, and thought that this was really the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard!And when Yao Lu said these words, it was even more ridiculous, so ridiculous to the point of sadness!

"Student Yao Lu!" He said indiscriminately, "You just lost your mind on the plane today, didn't you?"

"You, what are you talking about me?" Yao Lu looked at him in shock, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Shen would scold him.

Only then did Lin Shen realize that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, and hurriedly said, "I was wrong, I apologize!"

Yao Lu stared at him for a long time, and then said coldly: "Is it so funny? Well, I made a slip of the tongue. I just didn't know how to praise you for a while."

"Oh? Thank you!" Lin Shen said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about it, I appreciate it."

"Then let's do this first." Yao Lu pulled up the suitcase again, walked towards the elevator, and said, "I really have to leave, we will talk later when we have a chance."

Seeing that the two of them continued talking, Lin Shen was afraid that the quarrel would become more tense, so he had to let him go, so he followed behind and said, "I'll see you off."

The two entered the elevator, and Lin Shen pressed the button on the first floor. After a brief silence, Yao Lu asked, "Your family still lives here?"

"I moved early!" Lin Shen said casually, "My parents now live in a villa in the suburbs, and I bought an apartment on Xinhua Road, and now I live there."

"Then you are today..."

"My grandparents live here now, and I'll come to see them today."

"Oh……"

When the first floor arrived, Lin Shen blocked the door and let Yao Lu go first. Yao Lu walked out of the elevator with the box, followed by Lin Shen, and the two left the unit door.

"Where's your house? Are you still in Tuanjie Community?" Lin Shen asked.

"Well, it's still there." Yao Lu said.

"Oh, that's good." Lin Shen nodded perfunctorily.

After saying this, the two of them stopped talking and walked out of the community in silence.

When approaching the gate of the community, Yao Lu suddenly said: "You just said...you bought an apartment on Xinhua Road?"

"Well, yes." Lin Shen said absently, "I bought it myself, what's wrong?"

"You, you live alone?" Yao Lu asked in a low voice.

Hearing his question, Lin Shen frowned.

From the day I met Yao Lu, I have been chasing after him, giving everything I have, but in the end, I got indifference and heartlessness. I have no way to vent my resentment for many years, and now I finally found a chance to fight back.

Thinking of this, he gave Yao Lu a playful look, and replied, "Of course——no!"

Yao Lu froze for a moment and didn't say anything. After a while, the two walked to the side of the road, and Lin Shen was about to wave for him to call a car.

"There's something I want to tell you." Yao Lu said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Shen asked.

"Well, it's just..." Yao Lu hesitated for a moment, and said, "This year marks the tenth anniversary of our enrollment in Class 5. Class leader Wu Zheng organized a class reunion. It will be at Qunfang Garden at [-] pm on the fifth day of the fifth day. Most of the students will go." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Shen, pursed his lips, and continued: "If you want to participate, you can sign up."

After Lin Shen listened expressionlessly, he sneered and mocked, "Tenth anniversary of our acquaintance? What's going on with me? I haven't been in the class for a year, so I won't go!"

Yao Lu immediately looked embarrassed, said oh, stopped talking, turned around and waved to stop the car, at this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Call out to the sky, say I love you..."

Lin Shen: "!!!"

Yao Lu immediately frantically took out his cell phone, while Lin Shen stared at him from the moment the ring rang without saying a word.

"To that wandering white cloud, say I miss you..."

The crisp ringtone continued to linger, Lin Shen raised his right hand and stroked his eyebrows, but his eyes on Yao Lu had darkened.

In the end, Yao Lu reluctantly picked up the phone after the whole song ended.

"Hello, Mom?" Yao Lu whispered.

What was said on the other end of the phone, Yao Lu hesitated and said: "I, oh, that, the plane is late, I just arrived in the city."

Lin Shen: "..."

Yao Lu said a few more words into the phone, hung up the phone, looked at Lin Shen at a loss, and said incoherently: "I'm leaving, I'm taking a taxi."

Lin Shen smiled slightly and said, "You asked me just now, but I haven't asked you yet?"

"what?"

"Ask you..." Lin Shen looked into Yao Lu's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you alone now?"

"I, I am..."

"What is it?"

Yao Lu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "I, although I don't have a date yet, I'm on a blind date."

Lin Shen's expression darkened immediately, and then he returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Oh, blind date, so fashionable?" Yao Lu didn't respond, but continued to wave for a taxi.

But after a while, a taxi stopped, and Yao Lu stepped forward, opened the door, lifted the suitcase and stuffed it in, ignoring the bag on his back, he got into the car as if fleeing from a wilderness, and immediately said to the driver: "Master, unite the community."

The driver turned his head and took a look and said, "Close the door, young man."

Yao Lu: "..."

Yao Lu reached out to close the door, but Lin Shen grabbed the car door.

"What are you doing? It's like seeing a ghost!" Lin Shen said with a smile, "You didn't even say goodbye?"

"I'm sorry, we'll talk again when we have a chance, goodbye." Yao Lu said, and began to compete with him for the car door, while Lin Shen firmly pressed the door frame, saying, "Goodbye, Yao Lu, we will meet again when we have a chance. "

"Okay, okay, let's talk later."

"Goodbye, old classmate."

"Goodbye."

…………Infinite loop.

taxi driver:"…………"

"Let's go? The heating is gone, it's freezing!" the taxi driver shouted impatiently, Lin Shen had to let go, Yao Lu slammed the car door and said, "Master, let's go."

The taxi drove away in a hurry, and disappeared after a while. Looking at the direction the car was leaving, Lin Shen's mouth twitched when he thought of Yao Lu's stupid way of running away.
