Jiang Dan is booking a flight to Argentina and a ferry to the Antarctic Circle.
Jiang Zhuotian looked at the visa declaration form he had filled out in English, looked through the dictionary with his mobile phone for a long time, managed to translate a few words, panicked, and said, "Uncle, you are not going to commit suicide, are you?"
Jiang Dan:?
However, looking at his nephew's serious face, he had to admire his divergent thinking, so he didn't explain at all, and just showed him the bottom of the payment page.
During the [-]-day ferry, Jiang Zhuotian squinted his eyes to count the six digits clearly, and then fell silent.Even if his uncle treats money like dung, he will never do such a reckless thing.
"Travel? Antarctica? With whom?"
Jiang Dan said: "Follow the camera."
Jiang Zhuotian thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's good. Although it's a bit expensive, it's definitely fun. When do you leave? I'll retire when the time comes, and I'll go back home."
"What achievement?" Jiang Dan asked.
"What? I said it's done?" Jiang Zhuotian pretended to be stupid.
Jiang Dan was speechless, then turned around and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"
"Farewell, I don't want to," Jiang Zhuotian said: "Even if I want to, my mother doesn't want to, even if my mother wants to, she definitely doesn't want to have a bank card."
Jiang Dan smiled and said, "I'll take you there without my sister spending money."
Jiang Zhuotian shook his head again and again: "That's even worse, and I can't spend your money indiscriminately, for fear of being beaten up in the future."
Jiang Dan:? ?
He couldn't understand his nephew's brain circuit more and more.
After solving the itinerary problem, Jiang Dan updated the information of Nanfeng Studio on the Internet, and opened a personal account to communicate with the studio to prepare for the subsequent transformation.
The Photographic Association had learned about Jiang Dan's situation, but they still sent an invitation to Jiang Dan as promised, and Jiang Dan accepted.However, after signing the contract, I felt that it was nothing more than that, and I was not as excited as I expected.
If the person he most wanted to share this information with—Kang Fanxin—had not left, maybe Jiang Dan would be happier to be brought by him.
Zuo Zuo had nothing to do today, and Jiang Dan saw his darkroom again. He hadn't used it for many years, and he didn't think it was a good thing to be bored all the time, but since he went in once with Shi Yuan, he felt that this room It was suffocatingly black.
So he covered the equipment in the house that could not be exposed to sunlight first, then removed the curtains, opened the windows, and tidied up the bright darkroom.
Things that I once thought were indispensable don't seem to have to be kept.
So busy until the evening, Jiang Dan received a call from his mother, the tone of the phone was hurried, something was wrong.
"What happened?"
"Jiang Dan, you go home tomorrow!"
His mother's voice was crying, still trembling slightly.
"Mom, what's the matter? Don't scare me if something happens." Jiang Dan's heart also hung up.
"It's not a good thing you did! You...you...what are you doing, Lao Jiang! Don't snatch the phone!"
"Hey, son," the phone was snatched by his father: "Then what, your mother has been a little stimulated, don't worry, come back tomorrow if you have time, some things... It's better to talk face to face."
Jiang Dan's mother's voice came again: "What does it mean to be free! You have to come back when you are free! Don't leave when you come back! Look at what he looks like outside!"
"Me?" Jiang Dan was puzzled, he didn't know why he had to lose his temper so much, if it was something about the studio...it wouldn't happen.
"Dad, what's going on, please let me know what's going on? I'll go home early tomorrow morning."
When Jiang Dan's mother heard it, she stopped talking for the time being, and there was a faint cry from over there.
"Well, it's like this, Jiang Dan, when you came home during the Chinese New Year, didn't you put your phone at home when it broke down? Then your mother found out that it can be turned on by accident today, and then... I saw something, that is... "
Looking back, Jiang Dan didn't feel that there was anything shameful on his mobile phone. He tapped the countertop with his fingertips and said, "Say it straight, Dad."
"You... hey, come back tomorrow and talk about it!"
Jiang Dan's father seemed unable to say anything, and told Jiang Dan to pay attention to safety, and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Dan was at a loss while holding the mobile phone, still unable to figure out what they saw, it was worse than the collapse of the house.
"Uncle, what's wrong, you look so serious?" Jiang Zhuotian asked.
Jiang Dan was confused, and said: "I don't know, let me go home tomorrow, and you also pack up, and tomorrow morning, we will go back to our respective houses."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhuotian was stunned, the days without supper were about to begin again.
Jiang Dan was distraught, and sure enough, he suffered from insomnia again. He stayed up for half a night, but he still couldn't survive and took a pill.
He has been trying his best not to rely on drugs these days, because every time he takes medicine, he always has some bizarre dreams and wakes up with a splitting headache.
In the dream tonight, Jiang Dan was standing alone on the vast ice field, with the Polaris hanging directly above him. He was wearing thin clothes, but he didn't feel cold.
The surroundings seem to have turned into a smooth sphere, no matter which direction he goes, he will always be the center of this ice sheet.
The wind with ice blades howled past.
In the void, there was a figure walking towards him silently, but there was a black shadow wrapped around his body, so he couldn't make out his appearance.
He walked over, stood in front of Jiang Dan, looked down at Jiang Dan, and suddenly smiled. His slender knuckles stretched out from the shadow, and he pulled the zipper of Jiang Dan's coat to the top.
Jiang Dan couldn't see his face, but he knew who he was.This dream was unusually quiet, neither of them spoke, and the noisiest one was Fengxue.
At the end of the dream, there is a vague hug.
Until an untimely bell rang, Jiang Dan woke up from the dream and was in a trance for a while. After turning off the alarm clock, he remembered the winter he spent with Shi Yuan. Every time he wore a zippered coat, Shi Yuan saw him for the first time. One thing is to pull the zipper to the top. Jiang Dan needs to reflect and raise his head very quickly to avoid being caught under his chin.
"Don't put on your clothes because you're afraid of the cold, do you want to be sick?" Mr. Shi Yuan deliberately turned his face and said this, and then he would mutter again: "If you're sick, I have to take care of you."
I don't think about it deliberately, but these fragmentary memories always come to my mind all the time.
"Uncle, are you awake?" Jiang Zhuotian knocked on the door and said.
"Ah."
Jiang Dan answered and opened the door for him, looking at the neatly dressed nephew, he said unexpectedly: "Wake up so early?"
"Isn't this afraid of delaying your going out?"
"You bought breakfast?" Jiang Dan said, looking at the things on the table.
"Takeaway, it's been a long time since I delivered it, I'll heat it up for you."
"I'll do it myself," Jiang Dan paused, then asked again: "Did you set the wrong time for the alarm clock?"
Jiang Zhuotian poked his neck and said, "How is it possible!"
Then, under Jiang Dan's smiling eyes, he whispered again: "I misread the time, it's different..."
Think of six o'clock as eight o'clock, and start to be confused after breakfast.
Jiang Dan took the early bus home, and when he entered the house, he saw the old couple sitting on the sofa, and the room smelled strongly of cigarettes.
The mobile phone was placed on the table in front of them, like a chrysanthemum, and both of them avoided it.
Jiang Dan felt that there was nothing good today.Instead, he slowed down, took off his coat, poured half a glass of water and drank it all, then moved a stool and sat across from the two of them, and reached for his mobile phone.
"Can you say it now? What did you see and get so angry..."
Jiang Dan paused, and his face changed instantly. He saw a dialog box with Shi Yuan displayed on the phone page, and a few words sent by Shi Yuan on it, the relationship between the two could be known at a glance.
But it's not right...Jiang Dan was cold all over, but he clearly remembered that when he returned home during the Chinese New Year, he and Shi Yuan hadn't confirmed their relationship, and after changing to a new phone, WeChat on the old phone should also automatically log out...
unless……
Jiang Dan flicked a few times, and sure enough, this was not a WeChat page, but another APP that Jiang Dan had forgotten. I remembered that Shi Yuan once said that no matter how much he sent you a message, he would not reply.
He forgot this APP after changing his mobile phone. Who would have thought that the old mobile phone would come back to life one day.
Seeing Jiang Dan's reaction, his parents understood everything, but Jiang Dan's mother still had the last sliver of expectation: "His profile and profile picture, is he a boy? Or... is it that you young people like to mark gender randomly now? "
After the incident happened, she felt that all the previous daughter-in-law standards could be thrown away, and it didn't matter what the conditions were, as long as she was a girl.
Jiang Dan remained silent.He oscillates between candor and deceit, weighing the pros and cons.
"You talk!" Jiang Dan's mother suddenly became angry, her voice was so loud that people's eardrums hurt: "Is he a boy! Why did he say such things to you! Did he buy the New Year's fireworks! How could he... ...Why is it so disgusting!"
Jiang Dan raised his head stiffly: "You also read my other messages?"
"You still can't look at your phone! You want to scare your mother to death, don't you! Fortunately, I saw it, otherwise our old couple will be kept in the dark for the rest of our lives, and we don't know that you are outside... outside ..."
"Did I do something heinous?" Jiang Dan frowned and looked back, some words pierced his heart, and the blood flowing out dilutes his usual rationality. At this moment, Jiang Dan really felt that he should hide everything In his heart, Jiang Dan, who maintains the ideal in the hearts of others, really has to bear too many things, and the more he moves forward, the more exhausted he becomes.
He doesn't want it anymore.
"Yes, it's a boy, likes each other, is together, didn't affect anyone, didn't hurt anyone, didn't tell you guys just to avoid conflicts, but I didn't do anything wrong, can you please stop acting like I am It's like murder and arson outside?"
"I'd rather you kill people and set fire outside! Look at what you're saying. If you really feel normal and calm, would you hide it? What's the name of that person? Where is he from? Tell me, I want Go ask his family, if they know that his son is abnormal!"
Jiang Dan smiled helplessly, he knew that he would never be able to communicate with his mother.
If you want peace, there must be a compromise on one side.
"No, it's already broken up."
"It's over after breaking up? Jiang Dan, let me tell you, the decision I regret most in my life is to allow you to repeat your studies. Don't even think about going back to Shaocheng! Mom let you go too much before, so you just keep me honestly now." In my hometown, find a job, and then get married on a blind date!"
With familiar words and a familiar aggressive tone, Jiang Dan seemed to have returned to the high school graduation season more than ten years ago, as if he had traveled back to himself standing under the bulletin board, covered in cold sweat.
At that moment, reality broke down, and Jiang Dan realized that what they had maintained between their mother and son for many years was nothing but a false peace.
But this time, he was more determined than before: "Mom, you're right, the breakup is not over yet—even if I'm not with him, I will never marry anyone."
Jiang Zhuotian looked at the visa declaration form he had filled out in English, looked through the dictionary with his mobile phone for a long time, managed to translate a few words, panicked, and said, "Uncle, you are not going to commit suicide, are you?"
Jiang Dan:?
