Bai Yueguang he bent suddenly

It was like having a long and heavy dream. After waking up, it seemed that even the sunlight pouring into the room secretly through the gauze curtain was exactly the same as it was ten years ago.

The central air conditioner in the room has a constant temperature of 25 degrees, and it is neither hot nor cold and feels comfortable. Xiaogull nestled in the air-conditioning quilt for a while, and then got up and got out of bed.

He walked out of the bedroom in dark blue pajamas, went downstairs to the living room on the first floor, took a glass of ice water from the water dispenser, poured it down his throat, and gradually woke up from the trance.

Now the house is no longer the old community where they lived ten years ago, but a newly developed commercial property in Fengyu City. It has duplex jump floors, and there is a lot of space for upstairs and downstairs. The second floor comes with a super large open-air platform. At that time, Sha’ou asked workers to transform the platform space into a sunny glass room. The two giant windows on the ceiling were installed with electric stretching. Stay in the same room, open the huge glass skylight above your head, sit and write manuscripts in an environment with faint fragrance, or lie on the reclining chair that old man Sha used to sit on before his death, watching the sky full of stars.

In the long ten years, too many people and things have really changed.

Accidents in life will always meet unexpectedly, there are good and bad.

For example, in his sophomore year, Mr. Sha suffered a cerebral infarction. Although he was discovered in time and tried his best to rescue him at the first time, he still passed away unexpectedly due to the rupture of the aortic vessel.

At that time, the life of the family had just started to improve a bit, but the person who once said with a smile that he would rely on his two grandchildren to enjoy his life in the future could not wait for the day when the real hardship would come.

That year coincided with Sha Yan's college entrance examination coming up, Sha Ou didn't dare to distract him. As for grandpa's funeral, the whole city was handled by him alone. Tiredness and low blood sugar trigger anemia, which can lead to serious illness.

After he recovered from his illness, he immediately listed the old house that he had lived in for nearly 20 years with a real estate agency.

In those few years, housing prices in Fengyu City skyrocketed. Because the location of the old community was able to radiate the school districts of the two prestigious schools, No. [-] High School Attached to the Middle School, the housing prices also soared. It took less than three days for the listing to be listed, and it was successfully sold with full money. .

Then, after discussing with Sha Yan, Sha Ou and Sha Yan bought this duplex with a slightly remote location but a quiet surrounding environment.

The duplex design is very user-friendly. There is a master bedroom upstairs and two guest rooms. Shaou converted one of the guest rooms into a study room. The central living room downstairs is spacious and bright. In addition to the two bedrooms, there are small balconies in the north and south. Shaou invited the master One of the balconies was changed into a semi-open kitchen, and when Sha Yan was asked whether he still lived upstairs or downstairs, the other party chose the latter without hesitation.

Sha Yan also gave the reason: I am eighteen, and it is time to pay attention to the issue of personal independence and independence!

Sha Ou laughed and followed him.

After the new house was renovated, it was left for half a year. During this period, Sha Yan happened to go to a university in other places. After returning from a semester, Sha Ou had hired a part-time cleaner to clean the inside and outside of the house, and the two brothers officially moved in with their bags.

Clean and tidy, completely bid farewell to the past life.

At 07:30 in the morning, Shaou drank a glass of cold water and returned to the small bathroom in the bedroom to brush his teeth and take a shower.

During this gap, he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and closing downstairs. After he got out of the shower, he stood in the stairwell on the second floor and looked down, and saw Sha Yan sitting dejectedly on the sofa in the living room with his feet on his feet. There is also a small trolley case next to it.

Hearing the movement, Sha Yan raised his head and looked up, and called "Brother" vaguely.

Sha Ou came down the stairs with a towel in his hand, wiping his hair, and asked, "Why are you back at this time?"

Sha Yan also studied engineering at university. After graduating from graduate school, he chose to stay in school and joined the research director's laboratory. Now he is following up a school-enterprise cooperation scientific research workstation project on electronic technology and optical engineering in a company in the south. Sha Ou learned over the phone that this project has reached the final stage of project approval. Logically, Sha Yan should be very busy at this time, so there is no reason to go home suddenly.

Sha Ou walked up to Sha Yanhuan, hooked his toes over the soft stool next to the tea table and sat down, Sha Yanhuan sighed a long time, and leaned his head on the back of the sofa: "Ah——I'm upset, so I asked the instructor for two It's a day off, come back and be quiet."

Sha Ou wiped his hair without raising his eyelids: "Are you arguing with your girlfriend again?"

When Sha Yan was still an undergraduate, she made a girlfriend from the same school. After graduation, her girlfriend chose to join the society, and Sha Yan continued to study in graduate school. Although one worked and the other studied, but fortunately, they were still in the same city, not considered a different place. However, when Sha Yan was still a graduate student and was about to graduate, the two of them seemed to have some small problems in their relationship. They had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for five days. After each quarrel, Sha Yan would go home and hide for two days. After the girlfriend got angry, she ran back to coax her.

Sha Yan also knew that although the eldest brother was usually taciturn and never asked him about his love life, he knew his emotions like the palm of his hand, like a mirror, so he didn't hide anything, and said "um" in a low voice.

"Promise." Sha Ou said: "Every time I get awkward, I run home, and then go back to coax people after two days. With this kind of hard work, why don't you think about how to make people less angry."

"Damn! I really don't blame me this time!"

Sha Ou kicked Sha Yan Huan on the calf: "Who do you rely on, brother Muwu."

Sha Yan was quick-talking for a while, and when he was kicked, he only dared to grin his teeth and rub his lips, not daring to retaliate, but after a while, he suddenly said: "Don't talk about brother, this time we quarreled mainly because of you. "

"Me?" Sha Ou laughed: "What's the matter, do I disagree with the two of you dating, or did I secretly arrange a blind date for you? What does it matter to me?"

Sha Yan paused and said, "Chen Xi wants to get married."

Chen Xi is the name of Sha Yan's girlfriend. As early as two years ago, on the eve of the Chinese New Year, Sha Yan took someone home once. The girl Sha Ou had seen before. She was refreshing, generous and gentle. There are more than enough pigs in my own family.

"That's it." Sha Ou said, "I've been waiting for you for two years to study in graduate school. Now that you've graduated and your job is stable, you should give them an explanation." After thinking about it, I found it funny, "But this has nothing to do with me. What does it matter? When you get married, I will pay you to buy a wedding house. Although our elders are gone, we must follow the etiquette. The dowry gift and gift money that should be given to others must not be bad. You propose marriage, you..."

Sha Yan also interrupted him softly: "I said, my brother won't get married, and my younger brother can't get married first."

"..." The smile at the corner of Sha Ou's mouth froze for a moment, and he sneered, "You are all a remnant of feudal ideology. After studying for so many years, you still haven't fully understood the core values ​​of socialism?"

"So..." Sha Yan slowly sat up straight, with a rare serious expression on his face: "Brother, why don't you get married?"

Sha Ou said: "I don't even have a partner, who should I marry?"

"Then why haven't you had a girlfriend or been in a relationship for so many years? From what I've seen, people chasing you can line up from our door to the city center, and you can get on the light rail station just after turning a corner. So many people None of them are suitable?"

For so many years, Sha Yan has never asked Sha Ou about his relationship, and today it seems that he really can't hold back.

Sha Ou took down the towel to wipe his hair, looked at Sha Yan calmly for a few seconds, and then suddenly chuckled: "Why me, don't you know?"

really!

For so many years, Sha Ou has been alone. At the beginning, Sha Yan still thought that it was because his brother was conceited. He felt that the family conditions were not good, and he didn't want girls to suffer with him. The several cultural industry projects that he has successively invested in these years have also made a lot of profit, and the fund stocks and futures he bought in his hands add up to a considerable amount of assets. His own conditions are no longer the same as before, but for Sha Ou always declined those pursuits from Yingying Yanyan. At that time, Sha Yan thought, maybe, it's not that her brother doesn't want to fall in love, but...he doesn't like women at all.

Although Sha Yan had already guessed in his heart, but now hearing Sha Ou's own confession, he still suffered a lot of psychological shocks.

Sha Ou glanced at his brother who was stunned alone, stood up and walked towards the stairs: "So, hurry up and get rid of the feudal dross in your mind, go back to the south and propose marriage. If it succeeds, I will come to your door to propose marriage, but if it fails... You don't have to come back before the Chinese New Year."

"Brother!" Sha Yan still stood up from the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Then why don't you see a man, a boyfriend? You..."

Sha Ou got annoyed, turned around and raised his hand, and slammed the semi-wet towel firmly on Sha Yan's head: "I am willing to be single! I am still in a mess, worry about me..."

"...Is it because of Brother Weiming?"

Sha Ou suddenly stopped in his footsteps, turned around, his expression had turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Sha Yan hasn't seen Sha Ou's cold face for many years. In his impression, except for the first day of the senior three and second model, he went to the video game city with his classmates too late at night to play video games, so that he overslept in the exam the next day and was severely beaten by Sha Ou. After tidying up severely, in other times, Sha Ou was not unkind to him, even a little conniving, but now, it seems that he touched his elder brother's scales.

Sha Yan was willing to go all out at this time. As a younger brother, he would let his elder brother beat him up. Anyway, he couldn't really beat him to death: "...that year when you celebrated your birthday, you went downstairs in the middle of the night. I... .....I saw..."

At that time, when I was young, I suddenly saw my brother who had always been unruly and indifferent crying and collapsed. , Lu Weiming suddenly transferred to another school and disappeared. When all these fragments are connected, the real situation seems to be traceable.

Sha Ou pursed the corners of his mouth, and the tense back slowly relaxed: "What do you want to say, just say it."

Sha Yan still sounded like a mosquito: "Brother, do you like..."

"like."

Sha Ou answered crisply, without sloppiness at all: "I liked it before, and I still like it now, I like it, and I'm 28 now, but I still like it—any other questions?"

Sha Yan also gasped, and immediately shook his head like a malfunctioning and uncontrollable electric fan: "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!"

"Pack up your luggage if you don't have any, go to the kitchen to get something to eat, and I'll go to the media school."

Sha Ou looked calm, turned around and went upstairs to change clothes. Sha Yan reacted quickly at this time, chasing after him, and started to die again: "No, brother, you like it, so why didn't you get together at that time! No, no chasing Come on? Fuck you can’t, think about it now, Brother Weiming didn’t seem to have that kind of meaning towards you back then..."

Sha Ou went up the stairs into the bedroom and opened the closet: "No, he confessed his love, but I refused."

"Damn it?" Sha Yan was still mentally injured today, making countless exceptions for a while: "What's the situation? You confessed that you refused, only to find out that it was true love after he left? Your reflex arc is a bit long, brother!"

"Not long." Shaou took a set of clothes from the wardrobe, simple black slacks, matched with a camel cashmere V-neck cashmere sweater, and said: "I have always liked it."

"..." Sha Yan was still stiff and petrified by the closet, feeling that his IQ had been insulted, "Then you still... tsk, so Brother Ren Wei Ming didn't know it. , an immature child with the first heart, was beaten to pieces by you, and in the end he simply walked away with a heartbroken heart, leaving you alone for ten years... In this way, you are really... .”

At the critical moment, Sha Yan's survival instinct stopped him, and he shut up immediately.

Sha Ou put the clothes on the bed, closed the closet door, gave him a half-smile look, and said, "You deserve it?"

Sha Yan still kept her mouth tightly shut, not daring to nod her head.

Sha Ou chuckled lightly and said in his heart, who could say otherwise.

"Then why? And it's been ten years. If you can afford it but can't let it go, you can't..."

"—I met last week, coincidence."

"Fuck!" Sha Yan couldn't hold back and yelled directly, his voice turned around the eighteenth bend of the mountain road, "What kind of predestined fate is this! Then you chase after you! Confess your love directly! Come on eighteen, 28 Come on, the two of you are even at once! Why are you so reserved at this time! After passing this village, this shop will really disappear, understand!"

Sha Ou was stunned for a moment when he heard his noise.

Last week's special lecture, it was completely unexpected to meet Lu Weiming again. In that situation, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was already flustered in his heart, especially the last few words Lu Weiming said to him in the auditorium, Sha Ou Realized belatedly, it seems... Lu Weiming resented him, even hated him.

And when he recovered from being caught off guard by the long-awaited reunion, Lu Weiming had already left without even giving him a chance to get in touch.

Destined fate?

Maybe it was an inevitable miss.

Sha Yan was still at the side as excited as if he had been beaten into chicken blood, chattering endlessly: "Look for him, look for him, look for him! Make appointments for dinner, appointments for reminiscences, first time acquaintance, second time acquaintance, confess your love at the right time! If it doesn't work, you can suppress him Kiss on the wall! Oh yes - can you kiss you bro?"

"You fucking——" Sha Ou finally annoyed him and kicked him out of the bedroom: "I'm changing clothes, get out!"

After changing his clothes, Sha Ou went out of the bedroom and went downstairs. Sha Yan was still sitting on the sofa with a pillow in his arms. Seeing him coming out, he immediately stood up: "Why are you going to the Media College? Are you coming back for lunch at noon? What about at night? After finishing it Are you planning to make an appointment with Brother Weiming? Let me tell you, brother, you have to do this as soon as possible, it has been delayed for ten years, and if it is later, my sister-in-law will really fly, you--"

"boom!"

After Sha Ou changed his shoes, he slammed the door directly, finally blocking the noise from his ears.

On the way to Chuanyuan, Sha Ou couldn't help laughing.

In fact, it is not to blame that Sha Yan is not finished. Anyone who knows about this matter will probably have the same reaction. If it is Zhao He, that idiot, it will be more exaggerated, and he can keep babbling in his ear without sleep. Week.

Sha Ou sighed secretly, why didn't he hold back and confessed directly?

Maybe these words, I really suppressed them for too long.

In the early morning, Fengyu City was heavily congested during the morning rush hour. Fortunately, Shaou left early and arrived at the Chuanyuan parking lot, 10 minutes before the agreed time.

Sha Ou parked the car, took out his mobile phone and called his research supervisor professor during school.

"Professor Lin, I'm here."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Chuzhi was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "So early? It's been so many years since you graduated, but your good habit of being punctual hasn't changed at all."

Sha Ou smiled and said, "It should."

"Come to the small conference room on the third floor of the administrative building. I'll go there now. The dean and the others may have to wait a while. Let's talk first."

"Okay." Sha Ou said, "Then just wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Shaou walked towards the administration building.

He has been studying at the School of Communication for six years, and he is very familiar with every plant and flower here, even a small rock under the rockery. Every time he returns to the school, whether it is a lecture or an exchange meeting, he will naturally feel a sense of love. The familiar sense of belonging.

Before entering the small conference room on the third floor of the administrative building, Shaou knocked on the door and opened the door to enter after hearing the answer of "Please come in".

"Professor Lin, I've been waiting for a long time."

Seeing him enter, Lin Chuzhi stood up from the round table with a smile on her face: "I've been waiting for a long time, my office is downstairs, and it doesn't take me a minute to go upstairs. You come in as soon as you sit down. Don't be like this with the teacher." See you outside?"

Facing the proud student of the year, even a well-known professor with a rigorous personal style like Lin Chuzhi can hardly hide the gratified smile on his face.

Sha Ou also smiled, but said nothing.

He looked up at the wall directly in front of him, and there was a crimson velvet banner hanging in the center of the wall, on which was engraved "Signing Ceremony between School of Media and Well-known Alumnus Mr. Shaou." There were several gold-plated characters.

Lin Chuzhi followed his gaze, and asked with a smile, "How about it, well-known alumnus, you're about to sign a contract, are you nervous?"

Sha Ou pursed his lips and replied, "It's a great honor to be able to return to campus and repay my alma mater. Why would I be nervous?"

In fact, the personal lecture last week was just a test of the water. The School of Media and Communication had intended to set up a special course on news, current affairs, commentary, judgment and writing in the undergraduate system since last year. He could be invited back to school as a special professor of the current review course, but at that time, the report and approval results of the new course had not yet come down, and the procurement of applied teaching materials had not yet been in place. exact answer.

And this year's new semester, all the preparations are ready. Considering the prestige and status of Shaou in the field, Chuanyuan deliberately played a card of favor and asked his research supervisor Professor Lin Chuzhi to contact him personally. He studied cultural industry management at the postgraduate stage, and then started to invest in projects. Lin Chuzhi gave him a lot of guidance and help at the beginning, so he finally agreed to the heartfelt invitation from his old mentor and the sincere invitation from the school.

In the small conference room, Shaou and Lin Chuzhi sat and talked at nine o'clock, reminiscing about the past, and also chatting about the future development direction of the profession.

At exactly nine o'clock, the dean of the School of Media and Communication led several heads of departments, together with the school's legal affairs, into the conference room. After a brief exchange of greetings, the signing ceremony officially began.

The contract was signed in quadruplicate. After flipping through it briefly, Shaou signed his name on the last page respectively.

In fact, the conditions offered by the college are very humane, and can even be said to be extremely generous, with a combination of evaluation and employment. Although it is a special invitation for talents, Shaou's salary is paid according to the title of full professor in the school. There are only three professional lectures per week. If you need to sit in class and do not need to record attendance, if you participate in professional individual lectures held by the school, you will pay the lecture fee separately according to the single-session price, and clearly write it into the contract. For lectures of the scale similar to last week, there will be no more than five lectures per quarter. No more than twice a month, except for the number of published professional papers at the full professor level, which is strictly required by the state, the rest of the terms are completely tailored for Shaou.

After the signing was completed, the dean took the initiative to extend his hand: "Professor Sha, welcome back to school!"

Sha Ou shook hands with the dean and the entourage solemnly and said: "Thank you all the leaders, I will definitely live up to the expectations of my alma mater."

The entire signing ceremony lasted only half an hour, and it ended just after 09:30. The hospital intended to organize a welcome banquet at noon, but Sha Ou declined: "I dare not bother you, and I do have some personal matters today. As the host, please leaders and teachers, many of you are my mentors who have taught me directly during my school days, and let me express my feelings for you as a teacher."

He took the initiative to lower his posture. Of course, the dean and his team here are not willing to force them. They just say that there is no problem, and they will welcome him when he officially enters the job next week.

Everyone dispersed, and only Lin Chuzhi was left in the small conference room. Shaou asked, "Teacher, where are you going? I'll see you off."

Lin Chuzhi smiled and waved her hands and said, "No, I'm going home, but someone is picking me up and I'm already waiting in the parking lot. If you come by car, come downstairs with me."

"Okay." Sha Ou nodded, took two steps forward, and took the initiative to push open the wooden door of the conference room for her.

Lin Chuzhi and him did not take the elevator, but walked up the stairs, talking while walking: "We will be colleagues from now on, don't be so polite when we meet next time, besides, you don't need to see each other like this with the teacher."

Sha Ou still smiled, nodded and said yes.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Shaou didn't go back to his parking area, thinking about sending Lin Chuzhi to the car first.

The two stood outside the parking lot. Lin Chuzhi looked around but couldn't find the person who picked her up, so she made a phone call directly.

"Hello—why did you answer the phone? Where's your brother? I'm here."

There was a girl on the other end of the phone, with a crisp but loud voice. Standing next to her, Shaou could clearly hear the outside voice from the phone, so she politely walked two steps away.

After hanging up the phone, after a while, there were footsteps coming from the depths of the parking lot.

Sha Ou looked up, and the first thing he saw was a girl with very short hair, walking in front of her in a punk dress, looking at her face...it seemed a little familiar, but Sha Ou was indifferent to people, and couldn't remember it for a while. Where have I seen it.

Su Keqing saw the person in front of her, before she yelled "Mom", she took a deep breath, and the utterance became - "Mom!"

Seeing the girl rushing towards him in two or three steps, Sha Ou subconsciously took a step back.

"Idol, male god! Don't you remember me?" Su Keqing pointed at herself and said excitedly: "Me! I listened to your lecture last week and sat in the third row! I still ask questions, and you still praise me It's cute! Forgot?"

"You..." Sha Ou seems to have a little impression, but the female student at that time was obviously wearing a lady's small fragrance suit, with long and soft hair, and the heavy metal style girl with a flamboyant personality in front of her was really different. .

Seeing him frowning, Su Keqing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hey, the wig I wore that day, and the skirt I wore specially to impress the male god, why did you scare me, brother?"

Sha Ou laughed, shook his head, and said softly: "Hi little junior sister, so you are..."

Lin Chuzhi stepped forward, brought her girl over, and said, "This is my daughter, who is also from the Academy. Just like your fanboys, they talk about the sun and the moon in the critics' hearts every day at home when they are in the news, and they always think about it." Fake business for personal gain, I want your autograph from me, but I stopped you, ignore her!" After speaking, he glared at his daughter, and said in a low voice: "Reckless, no rules!"

Sha Ou smiled and said, "It's okay."

"By the way, where's your brother?" Lin Chuzhi asked.

Su Keqing pointed to the back and said, "I'm on the phone—here it is, brother!"

Sha Ou looked in the direction she pointed, and in the next second, the indifferent smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth.

It's not that I don't want to laugh, but I'm afraid that my smile won't look good enough.

I don't even know what expression should appear on my face at this time.

Lu Weiming wears a pair of simple casual trousers, a black inside and outside, a long windbreaker of the same color, and a pair of men's short boots on his feet. His temperament is like a sharp arrow in a sheath, seemingly sharp and silent , but actually forbearing but sharp.

At that moment, Lu Weiming hung up the phone and looked up inadvertently.

Then also stopped.

There were three people standing five steps away from him in front of him, but his gaze at this moment was uncontrollably focused on the same
