The lights in the western restaurant were dim, and soft music was playing slowly.Jiangnan and a woman are eating at a table by the window.

Tang Wenhui was worried that her son would repeat the mistakes of interrogating prisoners before, so she had instructed her [-] times before coming.Simply this time Jiangnan didn't say a word, the woman was asking questions throughout the whole process, Jiangnan was suffocating, like a furnace about to explode.When has he ever been questioned like this, usually he is the one who interrogates others, so how can anyone else interrogate him.

The more Jiang Nan thought about it, the angrier he became, he took a knife and cut a piece of steak fiercely, put a piece into his mouth with a fork, and chewed it, completely disregarding his image.He answered the woman's question casually. If this was normal, he would have slapped the table long ago, thinking about his mother's advice, and helplessly suppressed the fire.

The topic of the woman's lack of nutrition made his meal tasteless, and the western food he ordered at a huge price was in vain.While he was eating, he was thinking about where he had gone.In fact, the taste is not bad, next time he brings Wang Heng to eat, he is thinking about it.

As for the blind date partner, he couldn't find anything wrong with the other party. They belonged to the same family, were about the same age, had a calm personality, and had relatively stable jobs. In fact, this was the main reason why the two matchmakers introduced them.

After the meal, the two exchanged contact information, and then returned home.Before Jiang Nan arrived home, Tang Wenhui called, with excitement in her voice, "The introducer called me just now, and he was very satisfied. How is it? What do you think?"

"I don't feel much! But it's quite appropriate to say that it's just for getting married!"

"How do you talk? Nobody said anything just to get married!"

"Isn't blind date for marriage? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to get married."

"Don't you have to find someone you like when you get married? So isn't this asking for your opinion first?"

"I don't like my opinion, do you agree?"

"The conditions are the same, why don't you like it? I won't tell you anymore, I'm really mad at you!" The two said a few more words, and finally broke up on the phone.

Jiang Nan drove into the community and parked in the garage.He walked back slowly like an old man.

The white street lamps in the community were emitting pale light, and small flying insects were flying around the lights.The air is filled with the scent of summer grass and flowers, and occasionally I hear wild cats calling in the flower beds, and crickets in the grass also join in the fun, all of which seem so abrupt in the silent night.

For Jiang Nan, the life in front of him is like this pale light, dim and unclear, without direction.

He simply found a bench near the flower bed and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, held the cigarette with a slightly curved index finger and middle finger, took out a lighter with the other hand and pressed it a few times, bowed his head and lit it.

Jiang Nan squinted his eyes, watching the blue mist curling up from the burning part, and the tail of the smoke flickered with red sparks, like a faint glow in the gloomy future.He exhaled a smoke ring, and the smoke ring gradually grew larger in the air, spread, and finally disappeared.

He took a few puffs vigorously, irritated, and finally exhausted the cigarette, threw it into a nearby trash can, and then boarded the elevator.

When I entered the door, the clock on the wall in the living room had pointed to ten o'clock, and the room was filled with the aroma of gardenias.When he smelled the fragrance of flowers, he remembered that the flowers had already bloomed.He sniffed hard, trying to inhale the fragrance into his chest, indulging in this charming fragrance, like a lover's warm embrace, so comfortable that it makes people drowsy.

He lowered his head and changed his slippers, then walked towards the bedroom, took out clean clothes from the cabinet, opened the door and entered the bathroom, as if a single rinse could sweep away the haze and boredom of the day.

It was already afternoon when Wang Heng woke up, practiced calligraphy for a while, ran on the treadmill for another hour, chatted with classmates in the group for a while, and finally made dinner by himself, and the day passed like this.

It was night now, and the phone screen suddenly lit up.Unlock it and click on WeChat. It is a picture sent by the other party: Gardenia.

After Wang Heng stared at the picture in silence for a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up again, and he returned a long grassy face with a great expression on his mobile phone.After a while, Jiangnan made a video call.

"The flowers are blooming, see?"

"I see! Are you well raised! Like you!"

"Come on, don't you know how difficult it is? It's watering and fertilizing, what a delicate flower!"

"What are you busy with today?"

"Work during the day, blind date at night."

"How about a blind date?"

"It's not good, I don't feel it, but my mother is in love."

In the video, Wang Heng didn't make a sound or move for a long time, and his whole figure was stuck like a graphic.Jiang Nan thought the internet speed was too slow and the screen froze, "Hey, can you hear me?"

"can."

"Why don't you speak? I thought I was stuck!"

"Uh, I don't know what to say. I don't understand emotional matters either."

"Aren't we living a bit sad? We don't even have anyone we like. By the way, how is your new dean in charge?"

"It's okay! Friday department dinner. There is another operation tomorrow, and he will also participate. Are you unhappy?"

"Do you think you should find someone you like to marry?"

"It's kind of hard for you to ask someone who isn't married to answer that question!"

"Speaking of which, why don't you plan on getting married? Don't give me an answer. Don't you know what I do?"

In the video, Wang Heng stood up, went out of the screen and poured a cup of tea, then sat back on the chair in the study, and turned his gaze back to the screen, "Ask you? Why didn't you answer?"

"Can't answer."

"Then answer truthfully."

"There's no one you like, okay?"

"you?"

Jiang Nan was a little angry, and the other party obviously opened his eyes and said nonsense.But he was reluctant to say harsh words to him, and he was worried and worried, "You..., forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it. Go to bed early and remember to come back during the Spring Festival."

The words "I have no one I like" made him both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that there is no one around Wang Heng, but the sad thing is that this may include myself.

Wang Heng realized that Jiangnan was angry. In any case, the truth cannot be said, and he never planned to say it in his life.

In WeChat, he sent Jiangnan an emoji with long grass Yan Tuanzi, I was wrong, and another emoji of Tuanzi sending flowers.I saw that the other party replied with a long grass Yan Tuanzi pretending to be dead.Wang Heng stared at the phone screen for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly.

How helpless the word marriage sounds, there is no desire for happiness, only worldly judgments, and various additional conditions have become the weight to measure the standard of happiness.

He looked at the water in the teacup, the tea had become cold, without any warmth, just like the indifferent world.

There are always people telling you that this is the right thing to do and that is the wrong thing to do.But no one can tell why this is right and that is wrong.

However, many times, the road is on us, not in the gods, not in preaching, let alone in the secular world.We have the way, the truth, and the life in us.However, taking this path requires more courage, and many people do not have it, including Wang Heng himself at this time.

There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but he only likes that one person.If he wants to say why he likes the other party, he can't tell the reason, or it may be that the other party has taken care of him for too long, treating him like a relative, allowing him to find the feeling of family, and in the end he relies too much on the other party, so that he can't separate.

But at this moment, he could only cry silently in his heart. He liked it but couldn't express it. He kept suppressing it in his heart. His chest was filled with full emotions. He didn't know how long he could last. He was like a child. Squatting in a corner of the dark room as if alone and helpless, waiting silently—waiting for someone to open the door of the dark room.

Missing is like a shadow that binds him like a spider's thread all the time. At this moment, his heart hurts even more, and he won't even be qualified to accompany him in the future!

Wang Heng stood up dejectedly, his face paler in Mi Bai's pajamas.The long legs walked towards the window of the study, and a slender white hand opened the curtain a gap.The bright moon is beautiful, and the white moonlight squeezes out a silver light curtain from the gap in the curtains through the glass, cutting the study into two spaces.

Standing in front of the window for a long time, he walked back to the table with heavy steps, took out a sheet of rice paper from a pile of rice paper, spread it on the table, pressed a brass ruler, poured ink into the inkstone, and dipped a brush into it. , walking on the rice paper.

The elephant tube is like a dragon swimming, and it is done in one go.After a while, a song "Recalling Jiangnan" was composed.Finally, I picked out the outermost free stamp from the stamp box, pressed it a few times on the cinnabar inkpad, and then printed it on the rice paper.

He stared at the pattern printed on the leisure chapter, his eyes flickered, the pattern was as red as blood, pressing it once, as if it was pressed on his heart, as if a brand was engraved on it.After a while, he stamped his private seal again, and waited for the ink to dry before putting it away.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and Wang Heng's surgery lasted from the morning until [-]:[-] in the afternoon. When he returned to the office, he felt that he was no better than the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies.The person slumped directly on the chair, beating his numb legs with both hands.After a while, he took his assistant Xiao Zhang to the ward to check the patient's condition, and returned to the office after checking that there was no problem.When he returned to the office, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

"Brother Wang, there is a dinner party tonight! Don't forget!"

"Just call me when you're leaving. I'm slow, I'm tired and numb after standing for a whole day."

"Well, you can rest for a while. I'll call you when you leave!"

In a daze, Wang Heng returned to City H, where he was still on the high school campus. After the winter final exams, the students were almost gone, and a few students on duty passed by in the corridor, and the teaching building was empty.This is the first vacation after the death of his parents. He used to have his mother to accompany him, but with the death of his mother, he has nothing now.His mother's departure dealt him a fatal blow. For two months, he hadn't shaken off this heavy and mournful emotion.

He sat in the classroom in a daze, without any expression on his face, his pale face showed traces of crying, his eyes were red and swollen, and there was no light in the dark eyeballs.

He stared blankly out of the window, and the students on the playground were all scrambling towards the gate, like birds returning to their nests.

"I don't have a nest anymore." Wang Heng thought in a daze.

The gray sky began to slowly snowflakes, large flakes, like flying catkins.At the beginning, there were a few pieces flying, and then more and more, the whole world was filled with white catkins, as if to cover everything in this city, including the joys and sorrows of the world.

The snow was all over the sky outside, and there was only a lonely figure left in the classroom.

After staring out of the window for a long time, his eyes were a little sore, he reached out and rubbed them, and when he turned his head again, there was already a person standing in front of him.Wang Heng looked at the person in front of him, a little surprised, "Why don't you leave?"

"Come back with me! And my parents are waiting for you at home!"

Wang Heng turned his head to look out of the window again, remained silent for a while, and squeezed out a word, "En!"

The two locked the door and left the teaching building. In the middle of the white world, there were the thin figures of two teenagers.

"Brother Wang! Wake up! It's time to get off work!"

Wang Heng was taken aback by the sudden voice, and in an instant, he was pulled back from the dream to reality.At this moment, he was still a little dazed about appearing in the office, and his eyes couldn't find the focus for a long time.

Xiao Zhang looked at Wang Heng, who was motionless and wandering in vain, and waved his hand in front of Wang Heng's eyes.

"Wake up! What's wrong with you, Brother Wang?"

After a while, he regained his clarity. "It's okay." He pinched the bridge of his nose and put on his glasses, trying to make himself more awake.He tried to lift his arm, but his arm was a little numb. After a while, he slowly got up, took off his white coat, put on his coat, and went downstairs with Xiao Zhang.

On the first floor, I met several other colleagues in the department, and we all went out together.

Old Director Wang was the most active, and was already waiting at the hospital entrance, "Wang Heng, are you driving? You can't drink even if you can't drink, so you should drive!"

Several colleagues burst into laughter, and several of them had already followed Wang Heng into the car, Xiao Zhang was sitting in the passenger seat, and the other two nurses were sitting in the back.Those who did not sit down took the car of other colleagues.

Wang Heng's old method, using navigation, went straight to the destination.

When we arrived at the hotel, we reported the room number of the private room, and the waiter led Xiao Zhang and the others directly upstairs.Wang Heng saw water and rockery decorated on the side of the hall on the first floor, so he didn't follow everyone upstairs, and walked over to look at it on his own initiative.He dawdled in the hall to watch the red carp by the pond for a while, and then fed some fish food. The fish in the water flocked when they saw the fish food falling. He stared at the fish school on the water surface intently. Got into a god.

When Han Chen pushed the door in from the outside, he saw a figure on the left side of the hall. He had fair skin, thin lips, straight nose, narrow shoulders and waist, and slender legs. He was wearing a plain casual shirt. He was staring intently, the corners of his eyes and mouth curled up in a smile.

He walked over quietly, and patted Wang Heng's shoulder lightly. Wang Heng was startled by the sudden movement, turned around suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and when he saw the person coming, he held back the words he wanted to speak. go back.

"What's your expression?" Han Chen put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked in a neutral tone.

I almost fell into the water, and you still asked me what expression I had.However, he only smiled gently, "Just arrived?"

Han Chen nodded slightly, his eyes flickered, he closed his mouth briefly, turned around and walked upstairs.

Wang Heng followed up the stairs without changing his expression.

The two went upstairs and found the private room.When they opened the door and walked in, the staff was basically there.

Han Chen sat at the main seat, and Mr. Wang and Dr. Li sat on the left and right sides of Han Chen respectively.As soon as Director Wang sat down, he stopped Wang Heng, "Wang Heng, come here and sit here."

He also greeted: "Everyone is free, just order what you want to drink, we still have funding for the department! We can't let Dean Han invite us, we must do our best as landlords!"

Colleagues at the table applauded together.After a while, all the dishes were served and the wine was ready, so I barely moved my chopsticks.

Mr. Wang stood up first and gave a toast to welcome the new leader to take office. The colleagues at the table stood up and offered a toast to Han Chen. After the wine was gone, everyone sat down one after another.

Seeing that everyone was tired all day, Han Chen quickly moved his chopsticks.

Director Wang did not forget to say to everyone: "Wang Heng is a three-cup drinker, so everyone should stop staring at him. I don't want to drag anyone back."

Those who were sitting laughed loudly after listening.When Wang Heng first came to the unit, everyone didn't know how much he could drink, so he fell asleep on the table after three drinks. In the end, Director Wang sent him back.

Mr. Wang was short and fat. At that time, Xiao Zhang hadn't come yet, so he dragged the 1.8-meter Wang Heng with great effort.

Wang Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for being merciful to me."

Amidst the laughter and clamor, everyone passed the cups and exchanged glasses of wine to socialize, and they had already drank several cups.

Han Chen looked around the table, and finally his eyes stayed on Wang Heng's face. He occasionally turned his head to chat with colleagues next to him, and occasionally raised his head to look at everyone. He was neither overly enthusiastic nor overly alienated. Everything was just right. Every time he bows his head and nods, he has a "gentleman's elegant and upright" temperament. Even if he doesn't make eye contact with others sometimes, he seems very sincere.

Han Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally looked away.

After drinking, several female colleagues became bolder during the dinner.Especially Lin Zhi came over with a wine glass, waved her hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Dean Han, I would like to toast you. By the way, I would like to ask you a question for the female colleagues in the unit. Do you have a girlfriend now?"

The question was right to the point, and a group of people at the table couldn't help getting together and started booing. Colleagues stretched their necks waiting for the answer.

Han Chen was silent for a few seconds, scanned the crowd with his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied with a half-smile: "No!"

There was an astonishing sound of "Wow!" in the private room.Lin Zhi turned her head and gestured OK to her female colleagues, with a little complacency in her expression.

Dr. Li interjected: "Director Wang, when will we have a fellowship with other departments? Consider me, an older single youth."

Director Wang squinted at him, pretending to be angry, "What kind of friendship are you doing? Do you know how difficult it is for us to come out today? You can see that Wang Heng is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Dr. Li said with a bitter face: "Director! There are so many people chasing Wang Heng! It's him who doesn't want to look for him! I'm different!"

Director Wang turned his head to look at Wang Heng, lowered his voice, "You boy, do you have high eyesight? No match?"

Seeing that everyone turned the topic to him, Wang Heng maintained a decent smile on his face, "I don't want to find a partner yet. Everyone should stop staring at me, and I won't be embarrassed if I continue to stare at me."

Han Chen felt that Wang Heng's smile looked gentle and elegant at first glance, but after a long time, he found that it was very patterned, like a layer of painted skin.

Lin Zhi drank several cups, she was already slightly tipsy, watching the fun was no big deal, "Brother Wang, you always make us smile like a spring breeze, when can you change your expression that we have never seen before. Even if it is a bit fierce, then we I dare not stare at you."

Wang Heng sat on the chair, with the corners of his mouth curled up, with a slight smile, he kept his mouth shut and tapped the cup lightly with his index finger.Han Chen didn't ignore this small movement, he suspected that Wang Heng's face would freeze if he smiled again.And he also had malicious thoughts, and wanted to see another expression of Wang Heng, other than smiling.

Han Chen waved his hand to keep everyone quiet, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to see Wang Heng's other expressions? Actually, I want to see it too."

Colleagues in the private room started knocking on the table to make noises, and Dr. Li shouted the most.Dr. Li came earlier than Wang Heng, but he was not as good as Wang Heng. Regardless of skills or popularity, it is impossible to say that he does not have jealousy.But Wang Heng couldn't find any faults, and he had helped him many times. Even though he was jealous, he was just sour and didn't do anything bad.It is not so much jealousy as it is more envy.

Many people are envious of other people's appearance, but no one knows how much sweat and pain they have experienced behind their backs.Success is not luck, but persistence and accumulation, and a heart that never gives up on the way forward.

In the private room, I saw Han Chen getting up, approaching Wang Heng, slowly bent down, lowered his head and listened to him, "I want to sleep with you!" After speaking, he got up, and sat back in his seat leisurely, with a narrow smile on the corner of his mouth , staring at Wang Heng who was still in a daze.

His face turned red suddenly, Wang Heng choked on the juice he drank just now before he swallowed it down.He coughed for a long time, and Director Wang helped him pat his back for a long time before he relieved it.

Xiao Zhang next to him hurriedly pulled a tissue on the table for him.Wang Heng took it, wiped it, and instantly recovered his demeanor.

Seeing Wang Heng blushing for the first time, the colleagues present became even more curious in an instant, gossiped one after another without giving up, and asked the bottom line for answers.

Wang Heng knew that if he didn't answer, he would definitely not be able to escape.He avoided Han Chen's gaze, regained his expression, put a smile on the corner of his mouth again, and said slowly and seriously: "Dean Han said that I am more handsome than him, he is a little jealous!"

After hearing this, the full audience roared with laughter.Han Chen laughed after hearing this, what a wonderful person!

After a group of people finished eating, it was past ten o'clock.A few people had already drunk too much, and everyone called a surrogate driver.Han Chen took Wang Heng's car.

The light inside the car was dim, and Wang Heng sat in the shadows, holding the steering wheel and staring at the road ahead.Han Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, spoke first, "On the wine table, I'm sorry! Don't mind!"

"The dean doesn't mind what I say!"

Wang Heng stopped in front of a traffic post, waiting for a red light.There was ancient music playing in the car, Han Chen was not familiar with this kind of music, what he often listened to was nothing more than piano symphonies and the like.Han Chen asked curiously, "What song is this?"

""Water Dragon Song"." Wang Heng stared at the front and replied.

He watched the traffic light turn green, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car slid out slowly, driving very smoothly.

"Can you give me a brief introduction?"

"It's not a classical song, it's an ancient style song created by modern people. The lyrics are taken from the birthday poem written by Wu Yong for Li Changru in the Song Dynasty. Wu Yong was the first Jinshi in the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be understood that he was admitted to the civil service. This person has worked as an official The servant, probably from the third grade, is in charge of the selection of low-level civil and military officials. The masterpiece "Helin Collection" and the bibliography of the Siku, I haven't read anything in "Helin Collection", I heard it is some classical poetry."

Wang Heng only stared at the front, and introduced himself for a long time, only to realize that Han Chen was staring at him, "Look at me, what's wrong?"

Han Chen recovered, "It's nothing!"

Soon, Han Chen's home arrived. Wang Heng parked the car on the side of the road, watched Han Chen get out of the car, watched him walk into the gate of the community, and looked away.He drove home alone, the sound of Guqin still wafting in the car, accompanied by his exhaustion and sleepiness.Finally, the car melted into the dark night, like a drop of water into the sea.
