In time

When I was working hard, the time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost noon, I had a quick bite of food, and when I was about to go back to continue, Master handed me the phone and made several calls.

It is necessary to maintain a certain temperature and humidity in the studio. The influential things we carry with us need to be placed in the next room, and mobile phones are not allowed in, but usually no one looks for me. There are things are generally landlines.

I turned on the phone with some doubts, and the missed calls displayed on it were all unfamiliar numbers.I haven't reflected on it yet, and I didn't know it was from Lin Nan until I saw the text message from the same number.

One day was enough for me to calm down and digest it. I simply edited a text message saying that I was working, and Lin Nan's call came back immediately.

When I got off work, I went out of the gate of the courtyard, and saw a person leaning against the old wall. The warm rays of the setting sun shone on his side face, with a faint golden glow. His side face looked very handsome. It's cold, even the sun can't warm his lines. There is a cigarette in his hand, and the faint smoke rises, I am a little dazed.

get off work?He saw me, smiled at me, walked over, pushed my bike, and led me forward.

I looked at the back of him walking in front and didn't move. He turned around, raised his eyebrows and smiled, won't he walk anymore?Do you want me to hug you?

I felt weird in my heart, and my face suddenly felt hot.

He doesn't know where my family lives, and I really want to go home alone, and I don't want to be sent or go home with him, because I'm not ready to see him in what kind of posture.

Heart, a little nervous, and a little chaotic, he walked silently, so I had no choice but to keep silent, occasionally peeking over to see him, he has matured a lot in the past four years, and the corners of his mouth that were often raised before are also tightly pursed Yes, it seems like I haven't smiled for a long time.

This kind of Lin Nan is very familiar, but a little strange.

He reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, took the lighter with one hand and lit it, a faint smoke rose, his face was a little hazy in the smoke, he wanted to keep silent, there was something to say But he already said it naturally: "When will you start smoking?"

He glanced at me, "After the third year of high school."

Somewhat unnatural, sour and astringent in my heart, those youths who were seventeen or eighteen years old, in retrospect, are like drinking a sip of cold tea made from green lemons, with a slight astringency and sourness.

Suddenly I don’t want to talk anymore. In fact, I can still say a lot, such as asking him which university he passed the exam, asking him what major he studied, and asking him if he has a university, and find a——girlfriend , but I don't want to ask anything.

Sure enough, I was still not ready to face him calmly. Later, the inexplicable indifference and indifference, the timid figure passing by with his head bowed on the playground and the bright and flying smile on the basketball court frequently appeared in my heart. It was playing in my mind like a movie, maybe, I still have some resentment, because I didn't find a reason for the neglect and the uneasiness caused by Lin Nan's departure, which actually tortured me for a long time.

"I went to W University and studied computers."

I don't want to ask, Lin Nan answered me directly, W University is in the same city as my university, but the distance is a bit far, W University's science and engineering are particularly good.

"That's good." I said nah, when Lin Nan and I were together, his grades were always at the bottom of the crane, and after leaving me, he became so outstanding, W University, I know, Lin Nan's college entrance examination The score at that time must be quite high to be able to enter this university. Fortunately, he left me back then, and fortunately I did not delay him.

Even so, why is it so sad?

Before I knew it, I arrived downstairs at my house, the bicycle stopped, he looked at me, but I didn't dare to look him in the eyes, he sighed, stretched out his hand, and messed up my hair, "So Years later, it hasn't changed."

I pushed the car into the doorway, turned around and saw that he was still standing there, seemed to be looking at me, seemed to be in a daze, and lit another cigarette in his hand.

In such a short time, he has already smoked three cigarettes.

"Lin Nan," I put the car away and walked up to him, "Smoking is not good, quit it."

He just came back to his senses, looked at me, put out the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Okay, quit."
