Mindful

The alarm clock was not turned on during the two days of leave. Qiao Yuanlin got up late, and the pillows around him were already warm. He got out of bed and opened the door. He Jie was knocking on the door of his bedroom opposite, shouting: "Yuanlin, what should I do?" get up."

He immediately woke up, pinched the neckline and lifted it up, saying, "Auntie, I'm here..."

He Jie gave a strange "Hey", seeing that his hair was messy, he obviously just woke up, wondering how he got out of Liang Cheng's room.

Qiao Yuanlin was in a hurry: "I asked my brother to borrow a pair of socks to wear, but I couldn't find them."

He Jie smiled and said, "I'll find it for you, you go and wash up quickly."

Qiao Yuanlin hurried back to his room and came out after tidying up. He thought Liang Cheng had gone to work, but the other party and Qiao Wenyuan were chatting and having breakfast happily.

The two men looked at him at the same time, and they reached some kind of evil tacit understanding, and said in unison: "I bought you sugar cakes."

On the way, Qiao Yuanlin sat in the passenger seat and ate a sugar cake bought by his father and boyfriend.Liang Cheng looked at him frequently, handing him a tissue for a while, and a wet wipe for a while, for fear of oiling up Da Ben.

After being delivered to the entrance of the TV station, Qiao Yuanlin was exhausted, and when he got off the car, he was reluctant to part: "Are you on duty tonight?"

"No need." Liang Cheng said, "I will pick you up if there is no accident."

Qiao Yuanlin's love list has not yet been put into practice, so she asked, "Then let's go to the movies tonight?"

"Okay." Liang Cheng knew nothing about the entertainment industry, he didn't know good or bad, "I book restaurants, you buy movie tickets."

Qiao Yuanlin walked into the building of the news center. There were many people waiting for the elevator, but there were relatively few elevators, probably because Sun Zhuoli was at the door.

He also doesn't like to strike up a conversation with the leader, but Sun Zhuo is an exception. He walked over and said, "Good morning, boss."

Sun Zhuo nodded at him from the ladder door.

Qiao Yuanlin suddenly thought of Andrew, opened his lips to say something, but closed them again.It's inconvenient in the crowd, the point is that the contact information he left probably went into the trash can early, even if it means meeting each other, it doesn't make much sense.

The vegetable market on the twelfth floor was bustling, and the new sponsor was a brand of silk quilts, who sent over a dozen sets to colleagues in the column group, and everyone was sharing them for trial use.

Qiao Yuanlin greeted him and returned to his work station to deal with the work accumulated in the past two days.

After sorting out the progress, he looked through the interview records and found that the same person had called the column team for help five or six times.

This kind of call is not uncommon, because I used to be too lazy to dig out the news, and I also filmed the big things, so the short things in the parents came to them.

Octopus has fallen step by step. After Qiao Yuanlin came, even if he didn't turn the tide, he could be called turning the tide.Today's positioning transformation of the column will filter more valuable news.

Qiao Yuanlin checked the detailed records and decided to take a trip after understanding the ins and outs. He asked, "Have you finished dividing the quilt?"

The editor said: "The good-looking ones are finished, and there is a set of dark gray ones left."

Qiao Yuanlin didn't care. He packed his backpack and said, "After the division, come to a group."

Everyone got ready immediately, and the assistant who did the chores went to prepare the car first, and the Octopus bread popped out of the TV station 10 minutes later.

The video store is located in the northwest of the urban area. The store is small and has been in business for 20 years.There is a university town nearby. A few college students came three nights ago. Two of them smoked and threw the burnt cigarette butts in the store.

It should be unintentional. Anyway, the cigarette butts that were not completely extinguished touched the wrapping paper on the bottom shelf and burned, and the fire spread rapidly.Unfortunately, the boss has a disabled leg and fell while fighting the fire, causing a broken arm.

Qiao Yuanlin thought that the boss asked the media to find those young people, but when he went to the store to find out, the police caught them the same night they searched and monitored them, and the compensation has been completed.

It turned out that the boss used to be a soldier. After retiring from the army, he saved people and became disabled. He is also a veteran movie fan and likes to collect DVDs, so he opened this store.

Usually, the boss is active in the local online group for the disabled, and organizes an offline event once a week to show movies for everyone.It is inconvenient to be injured now, he hopes the column team can help.

Qiao Yuanlin was moved and agreed without hesitation.

After completing the interview at the video store, they followed the boss to learn the operating procedures of film screenings. Qiao Yuanlin memorized a large piece of paper, and when he estimated the number of viewers, he suddenly thought of tonight's date.

Guessing that Liang Cheng was busy, he sent a WeChat message: I can't go to the cinema tonight.

Ten minutes later, Liang Cheng replied: Do you want to work overtime?

Qiao Yuanlin: There is news.

Liang Cheng thoughtfully said: It's okay, it will be the same another day.

Qiao Yuanlin: But you can watch it elsewhere.

Liang Cheng didn't understand this sentence, there was going to be a meeting, so he put away his phone and didn't ask any further questions.

The quarterly big regular meeting mainly listens to the leaders' speeches. In the academic lecture hall, people are seated according to departments, and a large group of white coats are chatting away while they are busy.

Liang Cheng carried a pocket manga, temporarily confiscated from the patient, and opened it while crossing his legs on his lap.

Dr. Hu leaned over and revealed, "There is news from the oncology department that Andrew, who won the prize, is a female scientist."

Liang Cheng had heard Qiao Yuanlin say: "Oh."

"What can shake you, my brother Liang?" Xiao Hu continued to break the news, "A knife from the oncology department of our hospital, Director Yang, isn't he a returnee from the United States, anyway, his classmate who turned two corners before A research room with Andrew."

Liang Cheng: "Yes."

Xiao Hu still doesn’t give up: “It’s said that when Andrew was studying, because of gender discrimination, he simply chose a male name. People think that all kinds of achievements come from a man, but it turns out to be a woman, and the surprised reaction of the other party will please her.”

Although he had never met him before, Liang Cheng could imagine the arrogance and understand this kind of "prank" way of fighting back.

"Sigh." Xiao Hu sighed, "It seems that Andrew is not married and has no children. It seems that the good people don't care about common things, and I can't."

The mundane things that Liang Cheng understood included falling in love and sexual desires, and finally agreed: "I can't do it either."

After all, the note of "Famous grass has its owner" was spread all over Ruotan, and every time it was joked, Dr. Hu glared at him and said, "Could it be that you and my sister-in-law are getting closer?"

Liang Cheng's attention was on the manga, and he was amused.

"Sister-in-law, could it be that..." Dr. Hu asked, "Brother Liang, you don't know how to marry your son?!"

Liang Cheng: "...will you pay for Nian Dexin's tuition?"

The meeting started in time, and we continued to chat about whether the research should be for a second child or vasectomy.The routine meeting was dull and long, Liang Cheng leaned against the back of the chair and remained motionless, occasionally clenched his fist under the tip of his nose and yawned.

The meeting was over and it was time to get off work. Anyway, there was no rush to cancel the appointment. He waited until his colleagues were almost gone before getting up.

The sky was like ink, and the black off-road was covered with colorful lights reflected by neon lights. Liang Cheng slowed down the car, hesitating whether to go back to Minghu home or his own apartment.

Normally, it would be the same wherever he went without Qiao Yuanlin, but now he thought, it would be nice to have dinner with Qiao Wenyuan and He Jie.

Before making a decision, Qiao Yuanlin sent an address location.

Liang Cheng opened the navigation, and the location showed a square in the north of the city. He turned around without asking, and accelerated to the north.

While waiting at the red light on the way, Liang Cheng called Qiao Yuanlin, but no one answered. He drove for almost an hour for no apparent reason, and arrived near his destination.

The square has a long history, and its nature is like the residential area in Wanping Alley. Usually there are not many vehicles passing by, but it is a bit congested tonight.

Liang Cheng slowed down the speed of the car, not sure if there was a traffic accident ahead, so he drove slowly for a while, and saw many traffic jams turning into the entrance of the square.

He turned the steering wheel to keep up. The square covers a wide area, surrounded by pine forests, and a small pagoda that has been built for hundreds of years is hidden in the forest.

The central area of ​​the square was full of people, and a huge pure white curtain was drawn in front of it, and cars kept coming and stopping here.

Liang Cheng found an empty seat and turned off the engine, and got out of the car.

Among the crowd in front of him, Qiao Yuanlin searched for them row by row. Because he was working outdoors, he was wearing a jacket issued by his unit under his down jacket, and he looked round and festive.

"Brother!" He saw the tall figure leaning against the car door and shouted impatiently.

Liang Cheng opened his hands in a welcoming gesture, grabbed him, and asked, "Reporter Qiao, what's going on?"

Qiao Yuanlin smiled and said, "Watching a movie."

It is inconvenient for people with disabilities to go out in their daily lives, and the difficulties to be overcome are beyond the comprehension of able-bodied people.Most of them are eager to get in touch with the outside world, so every time a movie is shown, it is outdoors, giving everyone an opportunity to go out.

The owner of the video store needs to heal his injury for a while, and the program team can't do it all the time, so Octopus welcomes citizens to watch movies together in the program, which not only allows the disabled to entertain themselves, but also recruits volunteers to take over the screening work afterward.

Tonight, in addition to the disabled friends contacted by the boss, many citizens came to participate, and the square gradually turned into an open-air drive-in theater.

Qiao Yuanlin had been busy outside all afternoon, his cheeks were flushed from the cold, and he said, "Let's watch together too, shall we?"

Liang Cheng covered his face with his big hand, rubbing it back to the warmth, and replied: "Okay, listen to you."

It was cold, so Qiao Yuanlin went to get the silk quilt for employee benefits.Liang Cheng raised his eyes and looked around. He had never been to a movie theater before, and felt that this method was a bit novel.

After poking calmly for a while, Liang Cheng followed the example of a couple next to him who opened the trunk of the car, put two pillows, and frowned when he saw them sit on it.

Dirty or not?Is it sanitized?

Then Qiao Yuanlin came back and dragged him to sit on it too.

The body of the car shook slightly, Liang Cheng had a pair of long legs hanging down, he was handsome and restrained, Qiao Yuanlin was dressed too thickly, and covered his body clumsily with a silk quilt.

Some enthusiastic citizens brought hot water and snacks. Seeing how shabby they were, they dropped a bag of popcorn.

The couple next to each other hugged each other.

Liang Cheng took a glance, and unwilling to be outdone, pulled Qiao Yuanlin in front of him and circled him. He was thin-skinned in public, and euphemistically said, "You protect me from the wind."

The movie started, showing Hitchcock's "Rear Window".The male protagonist is a reporter who was injured and stayed in the apartment to chat. He discovered a murder when he peeped at the residents on the opposite floor.

Qiao Yuanlin had watched this movie a long time ago and was deeply inspired, otherwise, at the age of 16, he would not have been able to do the feat of tracking across the sea.

The best viewing spot in front of the curtain was full of people with disabilities. Qiao Yuanlin received countless thanks today. He was satisfied but also tired. He nestled on Liang Cheng's chest like a bird in its nest.

In the cold winter, he thought of that distant summer, and asked softly, "Do you remember Lanming Church?"

Of course, Liang Cheng remembered that they helped the deaf-mute hold a collective wedding. Under the plane tree behind the church and outside the colored windows, only they heard the vows made on that day.

He said, "I still remember you holding my hand on purpose."

"I was very nervous at the time." Qiao Yuanlin said, "I'm also a little nervous now."

Liang Cheng asked, "Why are you nervous?"

Under the silk quilt, Qiao Yuanlin grabbed Liang Cheng's palm on his stomach, made a fist, and then gave a thumbs up.

He has forgotten all the dumb tongues he learned back then, and he only remembers this one, which is the answer that the bride and groom announced to each other after the vows were over under the witness of the pastor.

Qiao Yuanlin touched the tip of Liang Cheng's thumb, and gently moved down, caressing the joints and the back of the finger, and they completed this gesture together.

He raised his face: "Do you remember this one?"

Liang Cheng pretended to be stupid: "What is it?"

From summer to winter, from the past to the present, Qiao Yuanlin exhaled warm white air and said, "I love you."
