flower and pillow

He Pei only stayed for one day, but he didn't get a good time for the return ticket before, and it was almost midnight.

When the two of them went out the next day, it was after eight o'clock in the evening, and the night sky was dark.Near the bus station are all small shops selling food. The red lanterns and signboards make the atmosphere bustling, and the green smoke from the barbecue grills is wrapped in the lingering fragrance of charcoal fire and cumin.

Cheng Biyun led He Pei to the stop sign on the short path between the small shops, and the path was a bit dark, but the lights from the next door were red, red, yellow, and yellow, inexplicably ambiguous.This scene made Cheng Biyun laugh suddenly, and joked: "It's really like cheating on us."

He Pei also laughed a few times, but did not refute, and grabbed his backpack strap with both hands.

After sitting in the car for nearly three hours, when sending He Pei into the station, Cheng Biyun looked at her back and suddenly had the desire to take a deep breath, and his emotions were lingering like puffs of green smoke.

She didn't understand what this emotion was, she only guessed that it was probably called "reluctant".

After the ticket check, He Pei stood in front of the security check, paused for a moment, turned around, looked at Cheng Biyun with his hands in his pockets for a few seconds, raised the corners of his mouth, bent his right elbow to his chest, and waved at her.

Cheng Biyun stared at her blankly, and a sense of déjà vu appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt that the scene was familiar but different, like two transparent colored films stacked together.She also laughed, took out one hand, waved to He Pei, and watched her take off the backpack and put it on the conveyor belt, pass through the narrow door frame, then pick up the bag, walk to the right, and go to the The elevator slowly disappeared from sight.

He Pei——

She and He Pei——…

The second semester of senior year passed quickly, and Cheng Biyun was busy with graduation projects and attending various meetings. There were a lot of miscellaneous things, and the time was squeezed out more and more.He Pei is no better than her. Graduation thesis and defense are all kinds of things, and they are overwhelmed.

The conversations between them were mostly about the future, work, ideals, etc. Cheng Biyun said that he wanted to visit Chengdu, because the food there was delicious, watery and sweet. In fact, he liked the comfort there, and He Pei didn't have any plans. , and there is no place in particular that I want to go.

"Otherwise you will go to Chengdu with me?"

He Pei thought for a moment before responding: "Okay."

Cheng Biyun was also surprised by her result.She was just mentioning it, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, which made her feel a little overwhelmed, as if she had invited He Pei to celebrate New Year's Day half a year ago.

But time waits for no one. The day of graduation was so unreal that Cheng Biyun felt like she was walking in a dream. Then follow the fixed trajectory, but for a while, I can't find a place to set my feet.

She stayed in her rental house for a while, disposing of the electrical appliances and furniture, and started tidying up the house again, waiting for her dad to drive her home. The secret of "renting a house alone" in front of her family caused her to argue with her parents for another day. Her mother was worried about her safety and scolded her for being bold. Her father was curious about where her money came from, and why didn't she ask for more? After living under the condition of living expenses for so long, Cheng Biyun was a little dumbfounded about her ability to be "independent", and Cheng Biyun answered vaguely, only saying that a good friend lent it to her—even though she paid back more than half of it.It's a done deal, and her parents just talked about it for a few days and didn't mention it again.

She stayed at home for a month, but her mother still treated her like a junior high school student who would never grow up, which made Cheng Biyun a little annoyed, and started thinking about going out again, going to Chengdu as mentioned to He Pei earlier She brought up the matter again, but this time it seemed to be coaxed.

He Pei's answer was still the same as before: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Then plan how to tell the parents, book the tickets for which day and station, and then settle in any hotel. All were finalized in just one afternoon. The two people moved so fast that they set foot on the destination three days later. soil of.

Then rent a house, move in, toss the house, find a job, toss the job, step by step.The freshness and adaptation at the beginning have all turned into daily routine, just "life".

Cheng Biyun cooks, He Pei washes the dishes and cleans up the kitchen, and takes turns in charge of cleaning on weekends. Whoever gets off work early goes shopping first, bakes an egg tart and cooks noodles when hungry in the middle of the night, and anyone who has to work overtime will let the prophet know. Occasionally, make a noise and watch a movie , indeed comfortable.

Cheng Biyun is always adventurous, and after staying in Chengdu for a year or two, she became impatient with the ordinary life, and wanted to go for a run along the coast, but this time He Pei couldn't go with her—— The job has been stabilized, and she hasn't found another home yet, and she can't let go of the patients who consulted in her hands.

Cheng Biyun hesitated for a week, and finally packed his clothes and went to pursue his "ideal".

He Pei herself is open to this, and has no intention of keeping her, but just wishes her a successful start.

"I'll come back to see you when I'm on vacation." Cheng Biyun said before leaving, "I'll keep in touch with you as well."

He Pei still responded consistently: "Well, be careful on the road."

Cheng Biyun took her hand, shook it, stared at her for a while and then laughed: "I'm leaving."

"Ah."

He Pei was uncomfortable staying in Chengdu alone at first, but fortunately, she had learned how to cook from Cheng Biyun before, but she herself didn't have the heart to play tricks, as long as it tasted good.

The message that the person who ran to Shanghai gave her every day was still so cheerful, full of curiosity and enthusiasm for everything, and told her if there was anything unhappy, and the photos and videos were frequent, as if the geographical separation did not act as a hindrance Effect.

She knew that Cheng Biyun had a boyfriend there, but they broke up after three months because the other party didn't eat coriander but Cheng Biyun loved coriander.When she heard this reason, she couldn't laugh or cry, and she felt sorry for that man. Such a trivial matter led to a breakup, but she knew in her heart that this was probably just Cheng Biyun's joke.

She knew Cheng Biyun.

Those who are strong or weak, optimistic or cowardly, rational or willful, those truths and lies intertwined and intertwined like a maze, made her daunted at first, but after trying to understand deeply, she found that it was so simple—wanting to be cared for, afraid of being hurt , that's all.

They all wore masks, she was calm, Cheng Biyun was free and easy, approached cautiously, kept the truth in their hearts, and was frightened——

She is also afraid.

Cheng Biyun likes new things, changes, and adventures, as if he never stops for anything, and is always drifting, looking for excitement.Not so with her.She longs for peace and stability, doesn't want too many uncertain things, and likes to accept and understand, but being with Cheng Biyun always makes her worry about gains and losses and can't feel at ease.

She knew this well enough not to expect her to stay.If traveling and exploring would make her happier, she'd be willing to let her do it.People should not be tied to each other, what is needed is respect and understanding.

After all, what she has always admired or envied is her freedom and ease, and because of her lack of it, she feels that it is even more dazzling.She also hoped that Cheng Biyun would always be "Cheng Biyun".

The sky was already dark after get off work.After He Pei and her colleagues said goodbye to each other, they walked towards the subway entrance, scanning the recipes left by Cheng Biyun to find what to eat-she really didn't think about tossing out some new ones, the "new ones" were all made by Cheng Biyun later. passed it on to her.When I arrived at the station at home, I went to the supermarket to buy materials. After paying the bill, the sky was completely dark and the temperature dropped a little.

She walked into the side door of the community, and the street lamp illuminated the path under her feet like an eggshell, guiding her into the unit building, taking the elevator, pressing the floor, and waiting.

"Ding--"

The elevator door opened.

The warm yellow light of the floor voice control light turns on.

Sitting cross-legged at the door of her house alone, with energetic and playful short hair, simple and casual clothes, and two big supermarkets next to them full of plastic bags, smiling at her.

"Aren't you surprised? Are you scared?" Cheng Biyun raised his chin proudly, like a puppy inviting a reward.

He Pei suddenly felt his body trembling slightly.

"Why are you here?" she asked cautiously and restrained.

"Hey! You don't mean that you are happy? It's okay to pretend?" Cheng Biyun pretended to complain, but then laughed again: "Shanghai is boring, busy all day long, working overtime and vomiting blood, it's still here Comfortable."

He Pei took a deep breath, threw the shopping bag in his hand into the arms of the person sitting on the ground, and said angrily, "Don't tell me if you want to come back, I'm still shopping for groceries." Then he walked to the door Qian Qian kicked her side leg with disgust: "Qikai, you are blocking me from opening the door."

"If you can't finish eating, throw it in the refrigerator. I picked such a big one, it's not a decoration." Cheng Biyun quickly got up, picked up the three bags, and followed her into this home that she hadn't stepped into for a year and a half. , felt that this moment was extremely miraculous, and announced again: "Boss, I have something to say, and I will never fool you."

He Pei turned on the light, "Say."

"I've changed my mind, I won't talk about it." Cheng Biyun said again, making He Pei so angry that he wanted to beat her up, turned around and glared at her, "Let's cook."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Biyun turned serious again, her brown eyes were bright and warm.

"I still want to be with you. You give me peace of mind."

The choked throat finally turned into enthusiasm.He Pei stared at her blankly, then turned around and ran to the sofa, grabbed the somewhat faded dumpling pillow and threw it on her body, cursing, "Get out!" Tears continued to fall from the sockets of her eyes.

"Fuck? That's how I treat you?" Cheng Biyun dodged and caught the pillow with an unbelievable expression on his face. When he looked at He Pei, he realized that she was crying, and became dumb again: "Oh, don't cry, I know My words are very touching, don't be like this. What do you eat and I will cook?"

He Pei fiercely grabbed the paper and yelled at her: "Black pepper, colored pepper, celery, chicken legs, cheese and snail pasta!"

Finish.
