night sky train

"Captain Chen, the phone is vibrating."

Chen Jifeng raised his head from a pile of materials and files, turned to see the screen of the phone lit up, and the caller ID showed "Mom".He put down his work and walked to the corridor to answer the phone.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Ji Feng, do you still remember Feng Tian, ​​your junior high school classmate?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Oh, her mother didn't know how to contact your aunt a while ago, and then your aunt told me..."

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Chen Jifeng's heart, "Wait a minute, stop."

Ji Binghua didn't stop: "I want to know if you have a date now, if not, Feng Tian..."

"Mom!" Chen Jifeng was not upset by work, but was speechless by his mother, "Didn't you say that you are not in a hurry to introduce someone to me? How about your integrity as a people's teacher?"

"I'm not in a hurry, but your aunt is going to annoy me to death." Ji Binghua said impatiently on the other end of the phone, "She wanted to introduce someone to you for a long time, but this time when someone asked, she immediately hit it off with him and went to her every day. I send photos and messages on my mobile phone, I have a lot of school affairs to deal with, you should quickly find a way to solve it yourself."

"I'm so busy every day, you still find me something to do." Chen Jifeng couldn't laugh or cry, "If you just tell her that I have a date, it's over."

"Do you have a date, your aunt doesn't know?" Ji Binghua dropped the words, "Aren't you eloquent, go and tell them yourself, I have to correct the papers for the students, so I hang up."

Chen Jifeng hung up the phone when he couldn't agree with each other, and stared at the darkened phone screen silently.

"Team Chen!" In the office, Xiao Chu howled so loudly that the whole corridor could be heard: "Where's the person? Where did you go to be lazy?!"

Chen Jifeng had no choice but to put away the phone, turned around and walked back frizzily.

On Sunday, Wei Yi came back from a morning jog outside and saw a girl standing downstairs.

The girl is small and thin, wearing a thin red sweater, a long knitted skirt, white casual shoes, and long hair flowing down her shoulders.

Wei Yi looked at her very strangely, but he didn't take a second look.However, he had just passed the girl when he was suddenly stopped: "Hello."

Wei Yi stopped in his tracks, made sure the girl was calling him, and asked politely, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"Excuse me, does Chen Jifeng live in this building?" the girl asked.

Wei Yi was taken aback: "Yes, I am his neighbor."

"Great, I want to find him, can you ring the doorbell for me?" The girl's voice was very gentle, "I don't know which household he lives in."

"Excuse me, are you..."

"I'm his junior high school classmate, my name is Fengtian." The girl said with a smile, "I'm not a bad person, don't worry."

Only then did Wei Yi feel relieved to help her ring the doorbell, but the doorbell rang for a long time, but no one answered.

"He is a policeman, and he may also be at work on weekends." Wei Yi explained for Chen Jifeng, "Do you have something important to do with him?"

Feng Tian looked up at the upstairs window and sighed, "Actually, I have sent messages to him, but he said he was busy several times and rejected me. I really have no choice but to come here to try my luck."

Wei Yi felt something was wrong.

Feng Tian walked around in a circle and said to herself, "I'll wait."

The alarm bell in Wei Yi's heart was shaking, and he hesitated for a while. He was really worried that he would just go home and ignore it, so he said bravely, "Then I will wait with you."

Feng Tian was slightly surprised: "Are you with me?"

"I just happened to be waiting for him, something happened." Wei Yi wanted to bite his tongue as soon as he lied, but he still tried to pretend to be natural, "It's cold outside, we can go to the milk tea shop at the door, and you can see him at a glance. did not return."

Feng Tian looked at Wei Yi, smiled and nodded for a while: "Alright."

Fifteen minutes later, the two sat face to face by the window, each with a cup of milk tea in front of them.

Feng Tian was very interested in Wei Yi: "Are you familiar with Chen Jifeng?"

Wei Yi said: "Well, he regards me as a younger brother."

"That's great. Thinking about it, I haven't seen him for almost eight years." Feng Tian lowered her head and smiled, "It's been so long."

Wei Yi couldn't help but ask: "Were you...were lovers before?"

"What? No, no, we're not." Feng Tian hurriedly denied, but her cheeks flushed a little, "He and I are just simple classmates, one class in junior high school, one school in high school, but we rarely talk."

Seeing her shy look, Wei was stunned for a while, "Then you..."

Fengtian admitted quite generously: "I am unrequitedly in love with him."

Wei Yi closed his mouth, unconsciously stroking the wall of the cup of milk tea with his fingers.

"Although I haven't contacted him in the past few years, I can't forget it in my heart, and I don't know what happened. Sigh, you are still young, so what do I tell you?" Feng Tian smiled at Wei Yi, Picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

"It's okay." Wei Yi really wanted to hear about Chen Jifeng's past, "It's okay to tell me what you want to say, I won't tell others."

Feng Tian looked out of the window, her eyes were always on the gate of the community, "Well... I really want to talk to people all the time. I have a crush on this kind of thing. Sometimes it's sweet and sour, and sometimes it's bitter, but in the end, I'm all alone. Self-directed and self-acted. Originally, I didn’t intend to come to him, but my mother kept urging me to get married. I never wanted to get married, and I didn’t even find a boyfriend. Now that I think about it, maybe it’s because I never let go.”

As she was talking, she suddenly turned her head with bright eyes and said with a smile, "You know, Chen Jifeng was very good in junior high school. Did he tell you about his junior high school?"

Wei Yi said, "No."

"It was when I was in the first grade of junior high school. I was very thin, very timid, and dark, and people always bullied me in class." Feng Tian recalled the past, "They pulled my hair and threw away all the hygiene duties. Do it for me, and throw the broom on me."

Wei Yi frowned: "This is too much."

"It's too much, right? But someone saw it at the time and didn't care." Fengtian said, "No one cared about me, and I became more and more afraid. The more I was afraid, the more they bullied me. Until one time it was my turn Chen Jifeng was on duty, he went out of the classroom to take out the garbage, and saw them blocking me in the corner. Then...he rushed over at that time."

"I still can't forget the way he ran over." Fengtian held the milk tea and said in a daze, "There are so many people around me, but he is not afraid of anything and has nothing in his hand. Teach those people viciously. I was sitting on the ground, watching him..."

——It’s like seeing your own hero.Wei Yi silently filled in her unfinished words in her heart.

Just like every time Chen Jifeng took his hand and stood in front of him, using his tall body to isolate him from the darkness, using his own temperature to become the sun in his world.

Later, little Chen Jifeng got into a fight with those people. Chen Jifeng fought so hard that the other children were beaten to the point of crying. The parents came to the school to ask the teacher for an explanation.The teacher had no choice but to call Chen Jifeng's parents.Fengtian was afraid and worried at the time, so she sneaked to the office door to have a look. She saw many people in the office, and the parents were making noise, asking Chen Jifeng to apologize to their children.

After a long time, after the noise gradually subsided, Fengtian heard Chen Jifeng's mother finally speak.

"I don't think Chen Jifeng needs to apologize."

Some parents were dissatisfied: "This—teacher, listen to what this is saying?"

At that time, the black-haired, thin and fair Ji Binghua said calmly, "It is true that he used violence impulsively to protect a girl this time, but I don't think there was a mistake in my education. Because as he grows up, I can Slowly correct his impulse, let him learn to protect others in a more mature and perfect way. But his kind and honest heart, I will never try to correct it.”

"On the contrary, when educating children, please focus more on cultivating the essence of goodness in children, rather than the superficial forms used to cover up mistakes and flaws."

There was a dead silence in the office, and then Chen Jifeng's father's dry laughter suddenly sounded: "Hahaha, look at the child's mother, this teacher can say, hahaha."

In the end, everyone broke up because of Chen Jifeng's parents, and the result was nothing.Chen Jifeng didn't apologize, and Fengtian didn't get bullied anymore, but the two became independent people in the class, unable to integrate into any group, and each had no friends.

Feng Tian remembered that when Chen Jifeng came out of the office that day, his face was still covered with gauze and his forehead was scratched, but when he saw himself, he turned to face her and said seriously: "Don't be afraid , if they bully you again, I will beat them."

"He had no friends when he was in junior high school. I think it's because of me." Feng Tian said sadly, "After he entered high school, his father passed away, and he became more independent, so I dare not go up to him. Talking to him, I only dare to look at him from a distance... But I don't think he was a person who was afraid of being alone. How is his personality now? Is he still not talkative?"

Wei Yi was startled when he heard the words, then shook his head: "No, he can talk a lot now, loves to laugh, and has a good relationship with his friends."

"That's good." Fengtian continued to look out of the window with her chin propped up, "It was hard for me to muster up the courage to come here this time. I have liked him for so many years, and I really wanted to give myself a result, so I boldly asked my mother to contact him. I heard that he has not been in a relationship for a long time because of his busy work, and his family has been urging him to get married. I think if I don’t seize the opportunity this time, I may never have another chance in the future.”

"He works so hard, he must need a girl by his side to take care of him and accompany him. And his aunt also told me that his mother always hoped that he could find a suitable girl to marry, give birth to a healthy baby, and then be mediocre. An An, live a happy life... I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I want to try to be brave for myself." Feng Tian pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Wei Yi: "What do you think?"

Wei Yi was in a daze, wondering if it was the aunt who wished so?

For a moment, a daze welled up from the bottom of his heart, and Wei Yi frowned in bewilderment and confusion: Did he think wrong?

From the very beginning, he was always chasing Chen Jifeng, but never considered the problem from Chen Jifeng's point of view, so he couldn't understand Chen Jifeng's retreat, avoidance, refusal and restraint.

Has he thought he was brave and frank from the beginning until now, but has he been causing troubles for Chen Jifeng?

Feng Tian didn't care until Wei Yi's answer, because her eyes lit up quickly, and she stood up, "Is it him?"

Wei Yi followed her gaze to see people coming and going at the gate of the Xijiao Road community, and the tall Chen Jifeng was walking into the community while making a phone call.The moment Wei Yi raised his head, Chen Jifeng seemed to have an invisible telepathy, and turned his head slightly, looking towards the milk tea shop.

Through a layer of glass, the eyes of the two meet.

Chen Jifeng noticed him, and then saw Feng Tian who was sitting opposite Wei Yi.He obviously changed his face, and after saying something hastily on the other end of the phone, he put away the phone and walked towards this side.

Wei Yi looked at his brother's familiar eyebrows and eyes that made him sink, and thought to Chen Jifeng, have I been making things difficult for you?

Chen Jifeng pushed open the door of the milk tea shop, and the wind chimes jingled.He quickly came to the two of them, Feng Tian stood up a little excitedly, Wei Yi couldn't sit alone, so he had to stand up too.

"Chen Jifeng, okay, long time no see." Fengtian looked at Chen Jifeng with gentle and restrained eyes: "I am Fengtian, do you remember me?"

Chen Jifeng nodded to her: "Long time no see."

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head to look at Wei Yi. Wei Yi had been looking at him all the time, but when he saw him looking over, his eyelashes trembled suddenly, and he lowered his head to avoid seeing him.

At that moment, Chen Jifeng felt an impulse for some reason—he wanted to pinch Wei Yi's chin, snap the child's face back, and ask him to look at him again.

But Chen Jifeng suppressed his emotions, he looked at Fengtian, and asked politely: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Feng Tian was stunned by his alienated attitude, but she quickly adjusted her expression and said with a smile: "Aunt Ji told me that you live here, so I came here without authorization. I'm sorry. It's an old classmate after all. Reunion, let's find a place to talk?"

Wei Yi came to his senses later, he hurriedly picked up the phone on the table, "Then I'll go first, you two talk slowly."

As soon as he took a step outside, his arm was grabbed hard.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jifeng grabbed Wei Yi's arm and held him in front of him.He was talking to Feng Tian, ​​but his eyes remained on Wei Yi's face from beginning to end, "Let's chat here."
