Shoulder to shoulder

The autumn colors are thick, which is the most colorful color in the mountains.

Bi Guo followed the staff through a corridor and came to a small courtyard. The mountain is quiet, and the small courtyard is quieter than the mountain.

Ji Lan was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, wearing the most ordinary clothes, and holding a mobile phone in her hand, but in Bi Guo's eyes, she still revealed a bit of immortality.

The staff took the road, smiled at Bi Guo, turned a corner and went elsewhere.Bi Guo stood there and waited for a while, until Ji Lan looked at her, then walked over with a smile.

Ji Lan also smiled at her with a gentle and light look.

It is completely different from the state when I saw it for the first time, but there is a certain similarity.

Bi Guo sat on the stone bench, looked at the person opposite, and said, "Ji Xiaolan, hello."

She once thought that if the two of them had a face-to-face meeting, she would definitely say this first, politely and cautiously.

It didn't happen last time, but this time it's official.

As long as Ji Lan doesn't mention it, Bi Guo can pretend that the previous meeting didn't exist, and this moment is the first moment when they stand in front of each other.

But Ji Lan smiled, and did not answer her words to call the familiar pseudonym. She lowered her head and played with the mobile phone in her hand. After a few seconds, she suddenly threw the mobile phone aside and looked up at Bi Guo: "How are you doing?"

The tone is that of a familiar old friend.

Bigo paused, and said, "Very good."

"You have accomplished your goal." Ji Lan said.

"Huh?" Bi Guo didn't know which one she was talking about for a moment.

"Your new article has been on the gold list for three months." Ji Lan's eyes flickered.

Bi Guo's heart trembled slightly, and she suddenly realized that in order to have a good communication with Ji Lan, she had to bring her memory back to the days of full-time writing before entering White Oak.

Occupying March on the gold list was once a bold statement she uttered when chatting with Ji Lan. At that time, she felt that it was out of reach, and it was only fun to say it.Now, not long after, the situation is completely different.

She has indeed accomplished this goal, and she has also accomplished many, many goals that she hadn't expected before, but these, Bi Guo felt, could not be mentioned with Ji Lan.

"Yes, yes." She could only sigh, "I didn't expect the data to be so good."

"I said you have strength, sooner or later." Ji Lan stood up suddenly, "What to drink? Cola tea juice."

Bi Guo was slightly surprised, and did not escape Ji Lan's eyes. She said, "This is a nursing home, not a temple. It has everything you need."

"Juice." Bi Guo said.

Ji Lan turned and walked towards the quaint house, Bi Guo looked at her back and felt sour for a while.

Ji Lan is really too thin, even wearing a very large coat, she can still feel the slenderness of her body.She is not tall, and she looks smaller and smaller. Her footsteps are very light, and leaves are blown by the wind and swirl and fall behind her. Bi Guo feels that the sound of leaves falling to the ground is more powerful than Ji Lan's footsteps. .

The man entered the room lightly, and then lightly brought out the drink.

When the juice was handed to Bi Guo, a section of his wrist was exposed, with clear veins.

Bi Guo opened the lid and took a sip, looking for a topic that would not touch the thunder: "Isn't it much colder on the mountain than in the city?"

"Yeah." Ji Lan nodded and asked her, "Is it cold? Let's go inside."

"No, it's nice here." Bi Guo raised his clothes, "I wear thick clothes."

"Yeah." Ji Lan looked at her and said, "You went to work in White Oak."

These words came very suddenly, and they were declarative sentences, which caught Bi Guo a little off guard.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Did you see my Weibo?"

"Of course." Ji Lan said, "Otherwise, how would I know that you came to Liantai Mountain?"

This kind of exchange really made Bi Guo feel a little uncomfortable. He clearly understood that whether she went to work or not had nothing to do with Ji Lan in essence.But the friend who used to work hard for the common full-time career, now in the nursing home, mentioned this matter to her palely, and after all, he felt guilty of betraying her.

She subconsciously found a reason for her work that Ji Lan could understand, and said, "You must not have thought of it, Jane...just, Zhou Xingqiao, she is the general manager of White Oak."

"Yeah." Ji Lan said lightly, "I didn't expect that."

"So I went in through the back door." Bi Guo wanted to make the atmosphere more pleasant.

Ji Lan smiled, but the atmosphere was not pleasant. She lowered her head and stared at the empty stone table: "I remember you said before that you hate going to work."

"Hmm." Bi Guo didn't know how to respond.

"Do you still hate it now?" Ji Lan raised her eyes.

"Work." Bi Guo looked at her, "There are good and bad."

"You did a good job, I saw it." Ji Lan said, "It seems that this time the good is more than the bad."

"Because Zhou Xingqiao is covering me." Bi Guo said, "I'm in charge of cleaning the house, and she helps me with some convenience..."

"Is it really all because of her?" Ji Lan interrupted Bi Guo and repeated, "Is it really all because of her?"

"Yes, yes." Bi Guo replied without hesitation.

"If you want to get close to her, isn't cohabitation already the shortest distance?" Ji Lan said sharply, "Go after her in the company? For a job that needs to be done from the bottom, I gave up and waited for so long A popular novel? Your monthly income in Jinjiang is ten times your salary, right? Do you really need to go to work?"

"Not so much, Jinjiang's income is not stable..." Bi Guo explained, "I didn't give up code words. I used to double-shift before, and now I will try to keep daily shifts as much as possible."

"You could have been better." Ji Lan refused to give in.

Bi Guo suddenly became angry: "For this kind of thing, if you do it, you do it. If you choose it, you choose it. Time will not let you go back and see what the other road is like. Is there anything better or not. "

"Are you happy now?" Ji Lan asked her.

"Happy." Bi Guo replied decisively.

"Are you really happy?" Ji Lan lowered her voice, "You said that your dream is to be a full-time author, first earn a lot of money, then learn what you want to learn, and then do not write for money , write a work that you are satisfied with.”

Bigo paused: "I am still, I want to be like Zhou Xingqiao..."

"But Zhou Xingqiao has his own job, doesn't he?" When Ji Lan raised his eyes again, his eyes were a little red.

Bi Guo panicked, and she was a little at a loss: "Ji Lan, just because I go to work doesn't mean I've given up on my dream. What I do is editing, which complements writing. In the end, I will return to writing."

Ji Lan shook her head, just shook her head.

Bi Guo walked up to her, but didn't dare to touch her: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Ji Lan said, "I'm fine, I'm just depressed."

It's just depression... This made Bi Guo sad.

The last time she returned from Beishi, she checked a lot of relevant information on the Internet, and she knew how much Ji Lan was suffering.

The consolation at this moment may not be of much use.Since Ji Lan cares about her going to work, it's better not to block her, so she might as well talk to her more and let Ji Lan clear up the misunderstanding.

So Bi Guo sat on the stone bench closest to Ji Lan and used his lifelong storytelling skills to make his words lively and enjoyable to listen to.

"Actually, I'm a dog at work. Let me tell you, I was bullied and cried several times, but I made them cry back..."

Bi Guo didn't come out for a long time, Jian Xuezhou drank two cups of coffee in the living room and couldn't sit still.

If he was going to meet ordinary friends, Jian Xuezhou would not follow him at all. Bi Guo was delicate and sensitive, and Bi Guo could sense as many emotions as Ji Lan had.

Jian Xuezhou was selfish. She mentioned Ji Lan to sound the alarm for Bi Guo. She asked Bi Guo to meet Ji Lan in order to make Bi Guo clearly aware of her past and future.

If after talking for a long time, Bi Guo ran out crying to find Jian Xuezhou, then Jian Xuezhou had a hundred ways to make her happy again.But now, the time is getting longer and longer. Jian Xuezhou doesn't know what they are talking about and how far they are going. I am afraid that only when they have a good conversation can two people who have no real contact with each other talk for so long.

We talked very happily... If Ji Lan could really be happy, she wouldn't be staying in this place now.

Jian Xuezhou stared at the watch, and when the hands were united, he stood up abruptly.

After all, this Buddhist monastery is just a sanatorium with a disguised appearance. The road signs are clear. Jian Xuezhou can follow the path that Bi Guo walked to the VIP guest room area without the guidance of the staff.

Before turning around the corridor, Jian Xuezhou heard Bi Guo's voice. She was laughing loudly and cheerfully, and started talking again before she finished laughing. The noisy appearance was incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere.

Jian Xuezhou frowned and turned around the corner, hiding his figure, and looked over first.

When Bi Guo gave a passionate speech, he even slapped his thigh when he was excited. Jian Xuezhou listened carefully and found that she was complaining about the Huaze group.

When he scolded Wang Zelai, he really didn't use any dirty words and witty words, and the expression on his face was really vivid. Eyebrows, eyes and nose, everything was brought to the extreme to express his emotions.

Like a comedian.

Jian Xuezhou has never seen such a big fruit.

She hid quietly for a while, watching Bi Guo's vivid performance. The girl opposite her was Ji Lan. Ji Lan looked at Bi Guo more attentively than Jian Xuezhou, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

Some subtle jealousy rose in Jian Xuezhou's heart, he subconsciously moved his feet, and kicked the flowerpot aside with a soft muffled sound.

Ji Lan looked over all of a sudden, facing Jian Xuezhou's gaze, and there was nothing to hide.

Jian Xuezhou didn't hide any more, and showed up boldly.

Bi Guo followed Ji Lan's line of sight, saw Jian Xuezhou, and burst out laughing.

This kind of smile is completely different from the one just now. It is a comfortable, relaxed, and involuntary smile.

She looked at Jian Xuezhou and then at Ji Lan, as if she didn't know what to do.

Jian Xuezhou walked over and asked her in a gentle voice: "Does that mean you're hungry? Do you want to eat?"

Bi Guo hurriedly introduced to Jian Xuezhou: "Sister, this is my friend, Ji Lan."

Jian Xuezhou smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hi, I'm Jian Xuezhou."

Ji Lan frowned slightly for a moment, but soon relaxed, and smiled slightly: "Hello, I have long admired your name."

"Did Guoer mention me to you?" Jian Xuezhou looked at Bi Guo, raised his hand and touched Bi Guo's head very naturally.

Jian Xuezhou had never called her that before, Bi Guo's heart trembled, and soon his head went numb again.

When she saw Jian Xuezhou, it was as if she had seen a savior, her heart was warm and her eyes were happy.

Ji Lan could see everything, and she said: "Even if Guoer didn't mention it, I have long admired his name. Are you going to eat? This is just the time to go down the mountain. The food at the street with red lanterns is delicious. You can try it." .”

This is seeing off guests, Jian Xuezhou nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome." Ji Lan looked at Bi Guo, smiled and waved to her, "Let's contact online."

Bi Guo was caught off guard by the sudden termination. Looking at Ji Lan's smile, she wondered if the contact was a perfunctory polite one.

But she still hurriedly said: "Yeah, contact me anytime."

The two left the stone table and walked a few steps, Ji Lan suddenly said: "Bi Guo, your couple outfits are so pretty."

Bi Guo almost staggered. Although Ji Lan had known her sexuality for a long time, but this sexuality was related to Jian Xuezhou, who exposed the author's vest, Bi Guo only felt a chill down her spine.

She looked at Jian Xuezhou for the first time, wondering if she cared, and asking for her forgiveness.

But Jian Xuezhou didn't look at her. Jian Xuezhou turned around and said to Ji Lan with a smile: "Thank you, you look good today too."
