drifting in the north

Before hanging up the phone, Baozi asked, "Do you know something that I don't?"

Ling Fei answered bluntly: "How could I know what you don't know, it's pure gossip curiosity."

"That's right, hehe." Baozi hung up the phone with a smirk.

Ling Fei looked up at the ceiling, there was no sense of accomplishment in deceiving an idiot.At the same time, he wondered darkly whether Shen Rui would also have this subtle sense of complexity.

The gossip from Baozi not only did not relieve Ling Fei's anxiety, but intensified it. He lay on the bed and tried to pose in various sleep-friendly postures, but it was like drinking a whole pot of coffee. The body is all sober and abnormal, and occasionally, there are some small impulses.

Finally, when the bed sheet was tangled and wrinkled by the people lying on it, Ling Fei sat upright like a carp, surrendering to the turbulent heart.In just a few minutes, with down jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, and fully armed upper body, Ling Fei stepped into the night breeze under the moonlight.

Since the beginning of winter, Ling Fei seldom comes out at night.Before, he felt that the coldness after the snow was extreme, like a pure white still world, with occasional wind, but also silent, leaving only the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow, unknowingly freezing your blood, breath, and thoughts.But now, he decided to modify the ranking.The cold after the snow is hard to bear, but the cold at midnight is really terrible.Especially when the northwest wind howled and blew on his face, at a certain moment, he even lost consciousness, as if Mumu's eyes, ears, mouth and nose were not his own.

But one thing is good, sober.The winter here, no matter day or night, makes people unable to be chaotic, even if it is cold, even if the breath frosts the eyebrows, even if the passers-by in the streets and alleys wrap themselves into balls, as if separated from each other. There are tens of millions of layers, but in reality it is just the opposite.Ling Fei has never felt that he is as real as he is now. What he sees, what he does, what he thinks, what he loses, and what he gains every day are all clear and distinct. Of course, he may not have done too many things. , but even if it’s just staying at home, every minute spent is real, at least there will be no gaps when looking back, and you won’t have to rack your brains like before, what the hell was I doing at that time?

The streets are deserted, with little else but streetlights.There were few cars, and Ling Fei walked a long way, but still didn't see a taxi.Ling Fei was a little frustrated, but at the same time felt that this was pretty good.Night should be like night, like the brightly lit night that seems to be bustling with crowds during the day, which will make people unable to distinguish the boundaries of time.

Finally, a taxi stopped in front of Ling Fei, opened the door and sat in, Ling Fei reported the name of the nightclub, no need to mention the address, the drivers all knew it.

The driver was also a young man. It was almost midnight, but he was still full of energy. While stepping on the gas pedal, he took a radio to communicate with his colleagues: "Something happened on Qingnian Street. I just came here, and some bastards are throwing stones at you."

Soon, a slightly noisy reply came from the other end of the radio: "Fuck, I'm full."

Another voice interjected: "Is Liang Zi over there?"

Within two seconds, a fourth voice popped out: "Don't worry, buddy, I'm turning around!"

Ling Fei looked at the young man beside him and began to laugh: "Don't, Liangzi, you rush forward boldly, and if the glass is smashed, just close your eyes and pretend that you are driving a convertible Ferrari."

"...I'll fuck you!"

"Haha, Dabao, your mouth is too bad."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, the driver happily hummed a little song and entertained himself for a while, before he remembered that there were customers beside him and glanced over: "It's so late to play."

Ling Fei was seriously studying that cute radio device, thinking about the nonsensical question of how many people were installed in it, he didn't even think about it: "Catch the traitor."

The young driver's expression changed rapidly in just a few seconds, and the last one shifted into gear: "Sit tight!"

Before Lingfei could react, the speed of the vehicle changed from a bus to a bullet.Someone called Dabao on the radio, but the young driver kept ignoring him. Later, he got impatient and said that if you are still out of breath, just squeak!Brother Dabao then picked up the walkie-talkie: "I'm busy, I'm not free!"

"Fuck, busy your sister!"

"Haha, he maintains world peace."

"Get out!" Dabao kicked the accelerator, and the speed continued to soar, "Brother is safeguarding love and justice!"

Ling Fei smiled, temporarily put aside those messy annoying things, just looked at the road ahead that was constantly being swallowed up by the wheels, and almost couldn't remember the last time he drove fast, the sense of speed that he hadn't seen for a long time was not bad.

When getting off the car, Ling Fei was dazzled by the numerous signboards. This is another world, and the night is brighter than the day.Walking into the store, an ambiguous atmosphere came over his face, Ling Fei saw Shen Yaya dancing to the music in the bar from a distance, the various wine bottles seemed to have life in her hands, spinning and dancing beautifully, The end result is a colorful cocktail.

"Hi." Ling Fei walked over and greeted the girl.

Shen Yaya just pushed the mixed wine to a guest, she turned her head and looked at Ling Fei for a long time before she recognized it: "Ha, why are you covering like a bear."

The specific nouns stimulated Ling Fei's nerves, and a silhouette of someone appeared in his head unconsciously. Shaking his head, Ling Fei tried hard to concentrate. After all, he came with a purpose. Although this is a bit sinister, the message Asymmetry is his strength, and he wants to get the most out of it before it wears off.

In fact, I am really suitable to be a businessman.Ling Fei thought, at least he was more suitable than Jin Yunhai. In terms of heart and mind, the two of them were not in the same weight class. Old man Ling always said that he had no heart and no lungs, but he didn't see the essence. He had the heart and lungs he should have. It's just too much, but I'm too lazy to use it.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yaya waved her hands in front of Ling Fei's eyes, the black nail polish made her pale fingers look more enchanting.

Ling Fei took off his down jacket and put it on the high chair next to him. He took off his hat, gloves and scarf and stuffed it in. Then he sat facing the bar and smiled: "I'm thinking how long I haven't been here."

"Three months." Shen Yaya blurted out.

Ling Fei was a little surprised: "You remember it really clearly."

The little girl pretended to sigh heavily: "Because if you don't come, my income will plummet, and food and clothing will become a problem."

Ling Fei generously took the wine list, and after a while, colorful cocktails were arranged in a row, like a queue.

"You don't want to drink them all, do you?" Shen Yaya was busy, her face was a little red.

The warm air in the nightclub is so powerful that it makes people's hair swell.Ling Fei took the most beautiful glass, took a sip, and said to the other party sincerely: "I can fly home after drinking all."

Shen Yaya burst into laughter, and pinched Ling Fei's face: "Tsk, you have to be more handsome, perfect and invincible."

Ling Fei almost jumped at the table: "Where am I not handsome?"

Shen Yaya leaned over and observed carefully, her lips almost touched the tip of Ling Fei's nose, and finally came to a conclusion: "It's hard to say, it's not my thing anyway."

"There is something wrong with your food." Ling Fei didn't even think about it, "You can't break away from the mainstream aesthetics, otherwise it will be difficult to gain social recognition."

Shen Yaya had an unbearable expression: "Please, can you not be so narcissistic!"

Ling Fei tilted his head, looking innocent and innocent: "I always thought it was a virtue."

Shen Yaya raised the white flag to surrender: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are evil again."

Ling Fei was amused by the exaggerated expression of the little girl.After laughing, I felt a little uncomfortable again.He liked Shen Yaya from the very first sight, whether it was her smoky makeup or her tough personality.So now that he is playing tricks on such a little girl, he feels like a jerk.

Then Ling Fei started to build up his mind.The specific method is to constantly recall the asshole things he did in Shenzhen.This trick is very effective, because after recollection, Ling Fei found that what he was doing was not worth mentioning compared with the previous ones. If the previous deeds were compared to dropping atomic bombs on innocent cities, then now To do this, you can grab a bunch of candied haws for preschoolers.

"I said, what on earth do you do?" Winter is the off-season, and there are not many customers in the nightclub, so Shen Yaya is free to chat with Ling Fei.

This is exactly what Ling Fei wanted, so he answered every question, and mostly told the truth: "I don't do anything, I'm jobless."

"Come on," Shen Yaya showed her disbelief, "If I don't do anything, I will have endless money to spend, and I want to lose my job too."

Ling Fei looked at her: "You can find a good husband."

"Pull it down," Shen Yaya sneered, "You can't find a man who is too poor, but you can't find a man who is too rich, they are unreliable."

Ling Fei smiled, and deliberately followed her words: "Then Shen Rui belongs to neither rich nor poor?"

"Uh, it doesn't count," an inexplicable emotion flashed through Shen Yaya's eyes. Before Lingfei could catch it, the girl put on a laughing expression again, "But it's up to him, what can I do? Son!"

"Last time I heard you say that he is a nine-to-five office worker," Ling Fei propped his chin with his hands, with a calm look, "Then how did you two know each other?"

Shen Yaya looked at Ling Fei and suddenly asked, "Do you want to chase me or my husband?"

Ling Fei couldn't hold back, his chin almost slipped on the table, Shen Yaya laughed and patted him like a big sister: "As for what, I'm joking with you, you can't help but be scared! "

Ling Fei touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

Shen Yaya obviously didn't regard Ling Fei as an outsider, maybe she had nothing to hide, so she casually told about her and Shen Rui's affairs: "We were classmates in high school, but we didn't feel anything at that time, he An old pedant who knows how to do questions every day, I don’t like that kind of person the most. Later, we went to the same school when we took the university entrance examination, but I was in the art department with low scores, and then I found out that there is such an old man. Classmates, and after he arrived at university, he seemed to have a second spring, all-round in sports and learning, anyway, that’s what I really liked, and no one chased after the other, just got together so naturally.”

Ling Fei was in a daze, and it took him a while to realize that he had finished speaking, and he quickly said "oh".

Shen Yaya narrowed her eyes: "Hey, your reaction makes people feel very unfulfilled."

"..." Ling Fei really couldn't find the words.

Fortunately, Shen Yaya didn't take it seriously, Ling Fei's inquiry seemed to bring back good memories for her, and the little girl continued on her own: "But at that time, I really didn't expect to be able to get along with him until now, count it for six years Well, ah, my youth..."

Ling Fei didn't know how to respond, he didn't even want to see Shen Yaya's expression at the moment, so he simply lowered his eyes and tasted a row of cocktails one by one.Don't drink too much, just a small sip.It made Shen Yaya tease, saying that you thought you were Snow White, and this dwarf had a sip, and that dwarf had a sip.

Ling Fei sighed from the bottom of his heart, after contemplating for a long time, he finally felt that his emotions were in place. He just wanted to raise his head to give the little girl a smile, but was knocked to the ground by a sudden fist coming from the side.

Ling Fei was really defenseless, and fell straight from the high chair. The place where he was hit hurt, and his back hurt even more.Looking up with difficulty, Shen Rui, who thought he should be with Jin Yunhai, just fell from the sky.For a long time, Ling Fei stared at the other party, unable to respond.

Instead, Shen Yaya rushed out from the bar and pushed Shen Rui away, shouting: "What are you doing, why are you crazy!"

"What am I doing?" Shen Rui's expression was so dark that it couldn't be darker, "Ask him why he is here!"

Shen Yaya looked over suspiciously.

Ling Fei looked back with the same expression.Yes, he wondered too.What he was puzzled was not that he didn't know why he was here, nor that Shen Rui knew why he was here, but that Shen Rui was not afraid that Shen Yaya would know why he was here.

Ling Fei was a little confused, Shen Yaya seemed to say something to Shen Rui in his chaotic thoughts, Ling Fei didn't hear clearly, but he heard Shen Rui's angrily replied clearly.What Shen Rui scolded was: "Do you have any brains, he is Jin Yunhai's friend!"

Ling Fei sat on the ground, in a trance for a long time.

It has to be said that people's first impression of people will be biased.For example, at this moment, when he went to visit Shen Yaya and Shen Rui again, he suddenly felt a little scared.This kind of fear is not because of how scary the other party is, but because you find that something you were sure of is easily overturned, and you don't know what will be re-established after the overthrow.
