Pendulum Rider

On the night of November 11, the streets that should have been deserted were extremely noisy.The Lin family just sent Lin Xiwu to the airport, and then drove home. His parents sat in the front seat, and Lin Jiayi sat in the back seat.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Jiayi has hardly been separated from his younger brother Lin Xiwu, except for a few military training at school and learning agriculture.After losing a family member at home, the first few days will definitely be quite uncomfortable, just like when I sent Brother Lu to study abroad, I suddenly lost a person in my daily life. It took him a long time to gradually get used to the absence of Lu Brother's life.

I don't know when Lin Xiwu will come back after this trip. Although he said that he can come back before graduating from university, there is no specific date.

Recalling just now, the two brothers embraced for a long time at the airport, Lin Xiwu buried her head in Lin Jiayi's neck, and kissed it lightly.Lin Jiayi suddenly felt a chill spread from his neck to his whole body, so he warned Lin Xiwu in a voice that could not be heard by the people around him: "Don't bite me, I'm a little anemic."

"I'm also restraining myself."

The two waited until Lin Xiwu was about to board the plane before letting go of each other. Before boarding the plane, Lin Xiwu hugged his mother Clara again, then he glanced at his father Lin Gonggui, and after a second of consideration decided not to hug his father anymore. So his slightly open arms dropped down.

"Then I'm off."

"Oh, remember not to get lost inside, and don't go to the wrong cabin, the boarding route is also very complicated for you." Lin Jiayi became worried about it, and Lin Xiwu couldn't help feeling that she had two mothers. illusion.

"Don't worry, there are old Wei's men inside to take me to the cabin."

"Don't get lost in Germany, or you won't be able to get back."

"understood."

When the broadcast began to urge passengers to board the plane, Lin Xiwu pulled Lin Jiayi over again, hugged her tightly in her arms for a few seconds, then let go, picked up the hand luggage bag at her feet and walked towards the boarding Go to the airport.

"Really, I just said don't get lost, and you went to the wrong boarding gate again." Lin Jiayi trotted forward, grabbed Lin Xiwu's scarf, and led him to the correct boarding gate like a dog .

"Goodbye." Lin Xiwu carried the luggage in one hand, then waved the other hand to the family members.

"No matter what you need, you can call my classmates in Germany. I have copied the phone numbers for you." Clara also waved to Lin Xiwu.

"Bon voyage." Lin Gonggui didn't wave his hand, he just watched Lin Xiwu walk away.

"Brother, don't you have anything to say to me?" Lin Xiwu suddenly turned to look at Lin Jiayi.

"Hurry up, or you won't catch the plane!"

"Okay, don't miss me too much, eat more when you miss me." After Lin Xiwu finished speaking, she left without looking back.

After watching Lin Xiwu go away, Lin Jiayi and others watched the plane take off in the terminal building, and then came to the parking lot, ready to drive home.

When they returned to the gate of the residential area, they saw many residents running downstairs in their pajamas.

Lin Gonggui opened the car window, and thick smoke came in from the window. The smoke made Lin Jiayi cough. After seeing the Lin family's car, several neighbors ran over and said, "The building you live in is on fire. I heard the fire first came out of your house."

"Thank you for letting me know." Lin Gonggui said and rolled up the window again. He first parked the car in the fixed parking space in the underground parking lot in the community, and then the three of them got out of the car together, covered their mouths and noses and walked towards their own direction , From a distance, the fire truck was still putting out the fire, and there were many neighbors from this building gathered downstairs.

The Luos and his wife who lived on the fourth floor were also standing downstairs with their son in their arms. Luo Yaxin was not there, maybe he was leading a tour abroad.

After Luo's mother noticed Lin Jiayi, she waved to him: "Great, you are all right, I noticed that your house was on fire downstairs, and I was still calling you from the window, but I didn't hear any response, and the firefighters didn't come after you." The family found someone, so you are outside."

"Why is our house on fire? Before we set off, we turned off all the electrical appliances." Lin Jiayi was thinking hard about his memories before he set off. He had indeed unplugged all the chargers.

"I don't know. After the fire caught fire, I hugged my son and ran downstairs first. When I was calling the firefighter downstairs, my husband called all the other neighbors down. Coincidentally, the neighbors all ran out. Afterwards, the fire suddenly became bigger and was blown by the wind, and the fire spread to the next building, and then the neighbors in that building also ran out, and other neighbors who were not affected also ran out to join in the fun."

No wonder so many people are having a "pajama campfire party" outside tonight.

It took another 10 minutes for the fire to gradually weaken. When the flames disappeared, the outer walls of the two buildings had become pitch black when viewed from the street lamps. After confirming that there is no problem, the first thing the residents do when they return home is to check the damage to the property in the home.

Lin Jiayi's room has been turned into ruins. This seems to be the place where the fire is most serious. Several hardcover books in his collection have been burned to charcoal. Only a black corner of the poster on the wall is left. And the things in the drawers are not spared, the photo albums and clothes can no longer see their original appearance.

The most complete thing in the house is the safe. In addition to some cash, there are also restaurant discounts and food point cards that Lin Xiwu hid in the safe before going abroad. His behavior now seems very sensible.

Lin Jiayi also hid his most important things in the safe. He copied out a thick page inside. Although the inside pages were a little yellowed, the book was intact, and the hard cover recorded his Important memory, after he established a relationship with Brother Lu, he recorded all the big and small events that happened every day, and even pasted the movie ticket stubs on the notebook after watching the movie together.

Once when Brother Lu came to his house to play with him, he found this book from under his pillow, so while Lin Jiayi was preparing refreshments in the kitchen, he wrote a few words on it.That night, when Lin Jiayi was about to continue writing records, he found Brother Lu's handwriting in the notebook, and he felt like he was going to burn with embarrassment.

Lin Jiayi, who was currently in the ruins, turned the book to the page with Brother Lu's message. He stroked Brother Lu's handwriting, as if touching his skin.

"You don't need to write the record for this day. I have already written it for you. There is only one important event that happened today, that is, I hugged you after having tea in your room." In this clean and neat handwriting Finally, there is an umbrella, and the two names are written on the left and right sides of the umbrella handle. The triangle above Lin Jiayi’s name representing the umbrella is larger than the triangle on Lu Ge’s name, and a few small words are added with notes next to it. : I'm afraid you'll get wet and catch a cold, so I'll support you a little longer.

Every time Lin Jiayi sees this small print, Lin Jiayi's heart beats wildly. When she feels down, she looks it up, and all the troubles dissipate by themselves. However, as long as there is this book, the traces of their life here will not disappear.

That night, Clara drove the car away, and she moved to a staff dormitory building near the company. Lin Gonggui went to the Japanese food store on foot, planning to sleep in the lounge of the store for the night, while Lin Jiayi, who had difficulty choosing, was left behind. At the same place, just now his parents asked him who he was going with. He struggled for a long time but did not come to a conclusion, so his parents left him and left first. After the two left, Lin Jiayi struggled at the same place for a long time, and finally took out his mobile phone After calling the prince, the prince immediately agreed to let him stay overnight and let him stay where he was for a while.

So, 3 minutes later, the sound of the motorcycle gradually approached, and it was very loud on the lonely street.The motorcycle turned a corner, and the headlights were dazzling from not far away. Lin Jiayi quickly blocked his eyes with his arms.When the motorcycle stopped in front of him, there was a gust of wind, and he accidentally inhaled the unseen dust flying all over the sky in the dark night, and coughed fiercely after being choked.

The prince jumped off the motorcycle, patted Lin Jiayi on the back, and asked with concern: "Senior, are you alright?"

Lin Jiayi coughed until tears were about to overflow, he wiped the tears with his cuff, and then slowly calmed down.

"I'm all right."

"Then invite the senior to get on the car." The prince sat on the motorcycle first, and threw the helmet hanging on the handlebar to Lin Jiayi.

"Thank you." After Lin Jiayi took the helmet, he buckled it directly on his head, adjusted it a little, then straddled the car, and hugged the prince's waist.

"Then I'll start the car, be careful not to be thrown out."

After the motorcycle was started, there was a vibration under him, and there was always an illusion that he was going to be thrown away in a second, so Lin Jiayi hugged the prince's waist even more forcefully, and the two of them drove along the wind, as if they had turned into a gust of wind, and the weight of the motorcycle The speed of the car was so fast that it overtook the cars on the road.Within 3 minutes, the two arrived at the downstairs of the prince's house.When Lin Jiayi got out of the car, his feet were soft, as if he had just come off the roller coaster. He supported his body on the back seat of the motorcycle with his hands to stabilize his body, then took off the helmet and handed it back to the prince.

"Senior, if you think it's cold downstairs, open the door and go up first. My sister is not at home, and my parents are already asleep. You go directly to my room." The prince said and handed the key to Lin Jiayi, and then said, " I'll come up after parking the motorcycle, you put the key in the door, I'll open the door myself later."

"Got it." Lin Jiayi rubbed her ears that were sore from the wind, and then walked up the corridor.

Just when Lin Jiayi inserted the key into the lock and was about to open the door, he suddenly heard some movement from inside the house, so he stopped what he was doing. He felt as guilty as a thief who came out to steal in the dark, Perhaps this feeling of guilt is because he has never met the prince's parents. Whether he has met or not, it would be embarrassing for him to break into their house alone at this time.

So Lin Jiayi stood silently in front of the door, waiting for the prince to go upstairs. It seemed that after a long time, Lin Jiayi heard the prince's footsteps in the corridor. Not going in? Don't tell me the key is broken in the lock."
