Let go of the past

The car was advancing at a slow speed on the streets of the residential area, and the crowded pedestrians and electric vehicles blocked the already cramped road even more tightly. Li Ziqing noticed Ji Bing's expression from the corner of his eye, and found that the other person's expression was calm and composed, and he couldn't see the slightest sign. I don't know if it's the acting skills that are too good for the irritated mood, or if it's really calm.

At the last intersection, the gate of the community was within easy reach, but the road ahead was completely occupied by a van unloading goods. Ji Bing honked his horn and waited patiently for a while, but the owner of the van turned a deaf ear and continued to unload things slowly.

Ji Bing rolled down the car window, and the car owner seemed to have noticed something, so he turned his face impatiently, and shouted preemptively: "Wait a minute! I didn't see that the cargo is being unloaded!"

Ji Bing narrowed his eyes and said concisely: "Move away."

"Where to move? It's just this big." The owner of the van is used to the market, and the taste of a hooligan came out when he opened his mouth: "Why do you want to show off by driving a broken sports car? You can't go on the main road? You just know to pick a small road." Bullying ordinary people like us, deliberately touching porcelain, right?"

Ji Bing raised his eyebrows: "Wherever I like to go, is it reasonable for you to occupy the road?"

"I have occupied it for more than ten years. This road has been my surname since birth. You call it to see if it agrees?"

Anger finally began to brew in Ji Bing's eyes. Li Ziqing, who had been watching the play silently, rolled down the window of the car at this time, and greeted the van owner familiarly: "Brother Wang, business has been very good recently, so much goods at one time."

The owner of the van took a closer look, and immediately he was a different person, and responded enthusiastically: "So it's Xiao Li, who just got off work?"

"Well, it's urgent, Brother Wang, please get out of the car."

"Okay." Brother Wang readily agreed, and said to Li Ziqing by the way: "This is your friend? Isn't it too harsh to speak?" He looked at Ji Bing again, with a reprimanding tone: "The rich man I've seen too many, uneducated ones are wealthy people, learn more from Xiao Li, and don't pretend to be a high society if you have nothing to do."

Ji Bing: "..."

The sports car drove into the community, and after a couple of rounds around the unit building, I managed to find a cracked parking space. Fortunately, Ji Bingche was very skilled and drove the car in without any effort. The silver-gray supercar was stuck between the two Between the two small white gold cups, it seemed as if he was aggrieved and aggrieved.

Li Ziqing turned to look at Ji Bing, "Why don't you go first, there are a lot of children in this neighborhood, and it's school time, so I'll give you a taxi later."

Ji Bing unbuckled his seat belt, and replied without emotion: "I'm thirsty, go up and drink some tea."

The key was inserted into the keyhole and turned gently, the door was opened from the outside, Li Ziqing walked in first, bent down and took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet, and threw them on the ground, "Change them on, these shoes are the ones that Xiao Kaicheng last time Come and wear it once, but I have washed it too, so you can wear it with confidence." He straightened up, looked at Ji Bing at the door with a half-smile, and asked him: "Xiao Kaicheng, do you remember?"

Ji Bing looked at him for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "I have no impression."

Li Ziqing withdrew his gaze, changed his slippers on his own, didn't say anything, turned around and left Ji Bing and walked into the house.

Ji Bing changed into his slippers and walked into the living room. Li Ziqing raised his chin towards the sofa and said casually, "Sit down, what do you want to drink? If it's hot, you should burn it right now."

"hot."

"Okay." Li Ziqing walked straight to the kitchen, Ji Bing's eyes followed his figure, and suddenly asked, "Do you want me to help?"

Li Ziqing paused, and with a playful expression, he teased him: "Will you generate electricity for me?"

Ji Bing was choked, and he pursed his lips in a pitiful and aggrieved manner.

Li Ziqing finally smiled, and lifted his chin towards him: "Sit down, the burn will be over soon."

The sound of boiling water came from the kitchen. Ji Bing leaned on the soft fabric sofa, looked around the small living room, and stopped on the background glass wall behind the TV. A doll was firmly attached to it by a suction cup. , facing his direction, smiling naively.

It was the one Li Ziqing had been hanging on the car.

He couldn't help but got up and walked to the front, reached out and took the doll off, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

—— "Ziqing, don't you think that playing idol is not like you? It's really unhappy written all over his face."

—— "Is there anyone like you who is so brave? The knife of that man just now almost poked your eye."

——"Okay baby, we finally met each other, don't keep pouting. Wait a minute, I'll clip it out and give it to you. In the days when I'm not around, it will be responsible for being sad, and you will be responsible for being happy. OK?"

——"No, mentally handicapped."

——"But isn't dating just about doing some mentally retarded things with the one you love?"

The gurgling sound of boiling water stopped, and Li Ziqing walked back to the living room with the teapot in his hand. Ji Bing stood near the TV cabinet with his back to him, and turned around when he heard the sound, with a confused and sad expression on his face for a moment.

Li Ziqing looked up slowly from the doll in his hand, met his gaze, collected himself, continued to walk to the coffee table as if nothing had happened, took a teacup and poured water, and told him: "Drink later, very hot."

Ji Bing lifted the doll, with uncertain emotions in his eyes, hesitantly said: "This?"

"You gave it to me." Li Ziqing recalled, "When I was just a freshman, you finally got the chance to go back to China. When we met, you caught it out of the claw machine."

Ji Bing was silent, and Li Ziqing obviously didn't want to let him go, and continued: "It's pretty ugly when it fades now, but in fact, it won't look good when it hasn't faded, but you still want to give it away, what can you do. "

Ji Bing's heart was blocked, and he turned around and wanted to stick the doll back again. The sound of footsteps approached, and Li Ziqing reached out to take the doll over. I got used to it, and often even thought it was cute.”

The smell of cooking wafted from the kitchen to the living room. The current affairs news was broadcast on the TV. Ji Bing watched it absent-mindedly for a while, then suddenly bent down, opened a drawer in the middle under the coffee table, and found it without any mistakes. remote control.

Changing to another movie channel at random, with the noisy conversations acting as the background sound, Ji Bing leaned on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the coffee table, and sent it to Li Ru.

Not long after, Li Ru came back with a series of question marks.

Ji Bing: I'm here with Li Ziqing.

Li Ru: What the hell?You two have reconciled?

Ji Bing: You guessed it.

Li Ru: ...

"Ji Bing." Li Ziqing's voice suddenly came from the kitchen. Ji Bing stood up and walked to the kitchen. Li Ziqing was putting vegetables on the plate with his back turned. When he heard footsteps behind him, he pulled the basket towards the cabinet without looking back. Position pointed: "Take out the bowls and chopsticks first."

Two big men brought three dishes and one soup to the table. The staple food was fragrant and soft white rice. Li Ziqing filled his own and handed the rice spoon to Ji Bing, "Come yourself, serve as much as you want."

Ji Bing raised his eyebrows, and gradually got used to his deliberate indifference. Instead of being unhappy, there was a faint smile on his expression.

Warm lights shrouded the top of the head, and the sound of bowls and chopsticks hitting was crisp and warm. Li Ziqing took a chopsticks dish from the plate in front of him. Ji Bing stretched out the chopsticks after him, but he blocked the way, "This way The dishes are leftovers from yesterday, you can eat the rest."

Ji Bing stretched out his chopsticks stubbornly, leaving a way out for himself: "I'll try to see if it tastes good."

Halfway through eating, Li Ziqing suddenly put down his chopsticks, Ji Bing raised his eyes sensitively, and saw that the other party was looking at him with piercing eyes, as if he had something to say.

He immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and waited patiently for Li Ziqing's opening.

"Ji Bing." Sure enough, within a few seconds, Li Ziqing said, "Do you think I should forgive you?"

Ji Bing's heart sank slowly, and he replied slowly: "My feeling is useless."

"Yes, you are right." Li Ziqing smiled: "The lie about the wolf will no longer be believed by the third time, but you have kept it from me for three years. These three years are like an hourglass. What is lost is all the feelings I have accumulated for you in the past seven years."

Ji Bing looked deeply, "I know."

"So, to me now, you are just like you who woke up from a coma three years ago and forgot about me. Everything returns to zero, and the past no longer counts."

Ji Bing didn't respond, and quietly waited for his next words.

"But since you saved my life three years ago, I should return a favor, so if you want to pursue me again now, I will not refuse. However, I can treat you with any attitude I want, can you If you persist, you will persist, if you can’t persist, let’s just say goodbye. From then on, we will never see each other again, and we will meet again in the next life, how about it?”

He thought that Ji Bing would be silent, or that he would think for a long time, but he didn't expect that the other party nodded almost without hesitation, and replied seriously: "Okay."

Li Ziqing looked at him across the table for a while, then looked away, pulled away the chair, stood up, and said flatly: "Then you go first, it's late, and it's not convenient for me to stay here."

Ji Bing drove the car out of the community, and the food vendors along the street in the residential area were bustling with fireworks, white-collar workers who worked overtime and came home late, students who finished their cram school, and salespersons who were changing shifts in nearby shops, all kinds of people played various roles. The characters experience their own hardships and enjoy their own happiness.

Everyone's happiness cannot be exchanged with others at equal value, and so is sorrow. Only in this way can there be various forms of life, forming a world of all kinds of strange things.

The road of life is precisely because it is full of too many unknowns that can push people to move forward unswervingly.

When the phone rang, Ji Bing had just driven the car into the underground garage. He hadn't been back here for several months. He and Li Ziqing had lived together for more than three years.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Xie Jiaqi has returned to China." Bai Lisheng's cold voice remained the same: "I departed from Los Angeles at noon today, and arrived in City S tomorrow afternoon. The flight number is UA138."

"it is good."

"You should have heard that her parents were sentenced to 20 years in prison for a financial case last month, and they probably will confess to it for the rest of their lives. She probably put all her eggs in one basket when she came back this time."

"I see."

Bai Lisheng paused, and changed the topic: "How are you and Li Ziqing doing?"

"pretty good."

Bai Lisheng chuckled: "You and Li Ziqing are exactly the same in the way of answering my question."

Ji Bing stopped at the door of the house, opened the door and said indifferently: "Isn't that normal? The whole family needs to be united."
