if you catch up

"...is approaching, Please keep away to alighting passengers and taking care of the elderly..."

The corner of the clothes was suddenly pulled slightly, Yi Yang came back to his senses, looked back, behind him was a foreign middle-aged mother, holding a little girl like a doll, looking at him suspiciously, with big sparkling eyes There is curiosity in it.

It was only then that Yi Yang realized that the subway had arrived, and he was blocking the way of others. He smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry...", and hurriedly walked inside.

He got on slowly, there was already no seat in the subway, he stood by the window in the carriage, quietly looking at the darkness outside the window.

After that excessive emotional catharsis, Xiao Yuan never came to him again.

If Yi Yang wanted to hide from someone, he would turn a blind eye at best, but for Xiao Yuan, he might not even give him a chance to meet.

One month, two months, three months.

If it weren't for the occasional meeting at work, Yi Yang would have doubted whether this person is really still here, whether he is really still in his world.

How nice, he often thought.

How good, our entanglement should have been completely over six years ago. There is no hope, no possibility between us. good.

It's just a slight pain deep in the heart.

Yi Yang exhaled lightly, it's okay, just a little longer, time will heal everything, everything will be fine...

He kept comforting himself, but he was still stung by the memory unconsciously.

Everyone has been here, and there will always be traces left.

So many years of trying to forget, pretending to be relieved, just because the person concerned is not there, deceiving myself and others.

But now, those silhouettes that seem to have happened in the last century, good and bad, are all emerging.

Especially today.

He has never forgotten this day, and he can't forget it even if he wants to, but he just ignores it deliberately.

By the time he got home, it was already dark. He worked overtime today and even took a stop.

Even in midsummer, the nights in Berlin are still slightly cold, the air is full of moist water molecules, and occasionally the night wind blows, bringing a burst of coolness.

When he opened the door, the landlady next door stopped him. The old lady walked up to him slowly, and handed him a basket of cherries with a smile.

The kind old lady said with a smile, "Yi, you came back really late, try it, we just picked it from the garden, it's fresh!"

"Thank you so much!" Yi Yang took it with some embarrassment, and replied with a smile, "It's too much trouble for you..."

"No trouble, no trouble", the enthusiastic old lady waved her hand, "Next time I have to leave the yard to you".

"No problem." He said with a smile.

"By the way," the landlady suddenly lowered her voice, showing doubts, "Yi, do you know Mr. Xiao upstairs? I always look for you when I see you."

Yi Yang was taken aback, "Uh... I'm not too familiar... What's wrong?"

"I went to deliver cherries to him at night, and I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door. I went there again just now, and there was still no one. He is clearly at home," the old lady was a little puzzled, and whispered again, "Xiao Sir is a gentleman, he wouldn't be so rude...".

"Maybe...sleep?" Yi Yang said slowly.

"I hope so," the old lady said with some concern, "It's fine if nothing happens. Before, there was a tenant who suddenly fainted due to high blood pressure in the room. He didn't open the door no matter how hard he knocked. I was really worried later. Only then did I take the key to open the door, whoops, my wife and I were scared to death... ".

The old lady seemed to recall the scene at that time, with lingering fear in her heart, she put her hands on her chest to comfort her breath.

"Uh, no, Mr. Xiao's body...should be pretty good," Yi Yang tried his best to comfort him. He didn't know Xiao Yuan's physical condition, but he seemed to be in good shape.

"Just in case, I'm scared..." The landlady sighed.

Yi Yang didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, Xiao Yuan... probably wouldn't?

Fortunately, the landlady didn't expect him to answer anything, chatted a few words sparsely, and then couldn't bear the sleepiness and went home.

Yi Yang was a little dazed, it should be said that he has been out of shape today, otherwise the work would not have been delayed so late.

After taking a bath in a daze, he lay down on the bed.

I don't know if it's because of today's special day or what the landlady said, Yi Yang easily lost sleep again.

It was getting late, and most of the lights in Wanjia were extinguished at this time, and the noise and noise had all returned to silence at this time. In the huge room, darkness occupied the entire space, silent and lonely.

He should be fine, right?

how come?What a big deal, we are adults, how can we not take care of ourselves, the landlady thinks too much, maybe he is just sleeping or taking a shower, and he didn't hear the doorbell.

But the landlady went there a few times and rang the doorbell for a long time.

Maybe something is inconvenient to open the door?

Ah~, Yi Yang frowned deeply in the dark night, he was upset for a while, what's the matter with me?Can't think anymore, can't think anymore!

He consciously expelled, forcing himself to focus on other aspects.

I have to write an academic paper recently, and I have to go to the laboratory to record the data next week. There is still a little information that has not been sorted out. The professor is in a hurry, so I can ask Andrew for help. If you want to work on a case, I must go, when will I go...

He was thinking about all kinds of things illogically, and a few upset images occasionally flashed in his mind, and he forced them to drive them away in a hurry.Slowly, his consciousness finally became chaotic, and just when he was finally about to fall asleep in a daze,

"boom!"

Yi Yang opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately bounced off the bed.

After this sound, there was a burst of ping-pong-pong, like a heavy object falling to the ground, mixed with the sound of dishes breaking.

He could tell that the noise must have come from Xiao Yuan's room.

What's wrong?Yi Yang's heart beats fast, he is at home, what happened to him?What did you hit?Are you hurt? ?Should I go and see...

As soon as this idea came up, Yi Yang was a little stunned.

What am I doing?Me, what do I want to do? !It's me who says separation, and it's me who says it's over, but why can't I forget that I can't let go? !What qualifications do I have, what position do I have, no, no, I can't go on like this...

He clenched his fists in resentment, disgusted himself so much, hated why he was so unrestrained, as if the feeling from many years ago had returned to him, his heart twitched a few times, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

No, you can't...

However, no matter how much it was, after hearing the loud door closing upstairs, everything was in vain.

The body tends to make the mind more honest. Before Yi Yang could react, he was already standing on the stairs at the door.

The sound of closing the door turned on the voice-activated lights in the corridor, and the warm yellow lights poured out. Yi Yang stared blankly at Xiao Yuan, who walked towards him step by step from the darkness.
