Travels

The roar of the engine sounded outside, and the light beams of the headlights flashed across the yard. The four sleepy people in the living room suddenly regained their energy and stood up to look outside.Xia Wanmu turned her head and looked at the round clock on the wall. The hour hand was close to the number 12, and her brain was dizzy. She shook her head, feeling nervous and scared, like a primary school student who failed a test and wants to go back to see his parents So uneasy.

Soon the car stopped, and the footsteps of the two people in the yard were getting closer and closer. The heels were not hitting the concrete floor, but more like knocking on her heart, bang bang, and the echo was heavy.The fat woman rushed over to open the door, and the voice of the conversation was deliberately lowered due to the depth of the night. She turned sideways and turned her head away, staring blankly at a crack in a certain tile on the floor.

"The beds are all made. I didn't expect there to be so many people. There are a few quilts that haven't been dried yet. There are not enough quilts. I only tidy up one guest room..." The woman's words were cautious and polite, and she was obviously interested in this well-known entertainment circle. The elder sister respected and feared, "Why don't I squeeze the child with him tonight and make another room? I'm just afraid that your friends will dislike you..."

"No, she sleeps with me."

Yu Qingge's answer was very succinct, with a flat tone, without any emotion.She felt a few curious eyes focus on her body, and the profile of her face was very hot like a fire.

"Xiao Ji, can you share a room with my assistant, please?"

The eldest lady who had been listless all night only cheered up at this moment, and hurriedly responded to the idol's question: "Yes, yes, I'm fine! Don't bother!"

"Well, you have worked hard, go to rest early."

Ji Mingzhao was stared vigilantly and shamelessly by the deceived couple for several hours, and finally he was freed from this mental torture. He immediately put the female assistant's arm on his arm and was blown away like a gust of wind, not even a second. Didn't stay long.Xia Wanmu opened his lips, wanting to reach out his hand to stop the person, but was overwhelmed by a very complicated mood, and finally watched the person go away without moving.

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere between them was not right, the couple also found an excuse and turned to the yard, and the room suddenly became quiet.No one spoke, and the embarrassment in the air lasted for a long time, probably seeing that she was not going to take the initiative, Yu Qingge sighed very lightly, and asked slowly: "Are you caught a cold?"

She still kept turning her head, her neck was so sore, but she never dared to turn her head and look at people: "No, it's just..." She slowly pulled off the mask, and shame and guilt joined hands to cover her head "I'm afraid that your brother will recognize me."

Yu Qingge didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but just stood quietly, keeping a distance from her that hadn't changed since entering the room.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have…"

It took a long time for her to pluck up the courage to apologize, but she was vague, and after a few words, she quickly lost the text.How should I say it?Should I come here?Or should you not even say hello?Or should we not try to uncover the past that we don't want to be mentioned at all?

"It's late, let's go wash up." Yu Qingge didn't intend to listen any longer, and interrupted her fumbling directly, "My room is...you should already know."

She felt even more guilty, the back of her neck seemed to be weighed down by a few heavy boulders, and she could no longer stand up straight, nor could she face people a few meters away.

"Well, it's in the middle of the second floor. I tricked the black belt to see it, but unfortunately it's locked." She didn't want to speak, but her throat started to speak uncontrollably, and the words that popped out seemed to be deliberately confronting someone. , extremely provocative.

She was taken aback by herself, and she didn't understand how the resentment in her heart suddenly surged up at the last moment when it shouldn't have appeared.The person on the opposite side was silent, she was flustered, and hurriedly looked up, but only caught a sight that quickly fled away.

"It's very late..." Yu Qingge said it again, his pale face was tired from the journey, his eyes were out of focus, and he looked a little dazed.Realizing that she had unintentionally repeated what she had said before, she closed her mouth, her lips pursed tightly, annoyed.

"I know." Xia Wanmu clenched her hands tightly, feeling a burning pain in her heart as if she had been shot by a slingshot, "You should also come to rest earlier."

She put her hands in her pockets, and walked slowly towards the second floor. She didn't take a few steps, as if she was worried, she stopped, then turned her head to the side and confirmed in a low voice:

"See you later?"

"I'll see you later." Yu Qingge lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he still stood there motionless, only a faintly inaudible response came over.

Light was shining through the cracks in the door on the ground, but no one answered the knock. Xia Wanmu hesitated for a while, and slowly turned the doorknob.What came into view was the thin back in front of the window. Yu Qingge stood upright until he was stiff, as if he was concentrating on immersing himself in the boundless night outside the glass.

The room was neatly tidied up, only the cabinet on the right side was pulled open a few layers, turned a little messy, the desk drawer by the window was also open, and some things were scattered and piled up on the desktop. It is a masterpiece of black leather.But for some reason, Yu Qingge didn't pick up her things while she was washing outside, she stood by the door at a loss, her eyes quickly passed over the mess.

Is this what Ken wants her to see?Mian Hulu's mind has always been based on guessing, but she has just been found out about the "good thing" that she came to find out the truth behind her back, and she is very guilty. She can't believe that the answer was delivered to her hand in the blink of an eye.

The silence in the air was about to freeze, Xia Wanmu was embarrassed for a while, and then he let go completely, cheekily approached the person by the window a few steps, and felt something was wrong when he was about to speak—that straight figure seemed to be Trembling slightly.She thought it was because she was dazzled, so she took another two steps forward, only to see that the shoulders of the person whose back was facing her flicked uncomfortably, leaned slightly towards the window edge, and almost touched the glass.

She stopped, turned to the other side of the desk and stood quietly.

The oak tabletop is smooth and thick, and there is not a speck of dust that can be swept away by fingertips.There are a few magazines and books from the old year on it, the pages are yellowed, but the corners are smooth, probably due to the care of the owner.A corner of the drawer in the middle revealed a bit of silver, and she stretched out her hand to open it. The cassettes in one drawer were stacked neatly, and a palm-sized old-fashioned Walkman was clustered like stars.

Nostalgic style.She also had a few sets before she went to middle school, and she always broke them because of her careless relationship, and then fell into a cycle of buying and buying again-but this one is different. After many years, it still maintains an unbelievable "" Integrity", almost no scratches were visible on the silver shell, and the buttons on the top were shining brightly under the light, which made her eyes hurt.

If you think about the family environment of the boring gourd, you probably bought this thing when you went to work in the city for a few years.She suddenly became very interested. Looking at this inanimate mechanical object, she couldn't help jumping out of the imaginative and pretentious appearance of the puberty that she had never seen before.

The brand-new unopened batteries were placed at the bottom of the drawer. She looked up at the man's thin and straight back, and unceremoniously took out a pair and stuffed it into the back cover.

The slender white index finger slowly clicked over the rows of tapes one by one, the arcs drawn made people imagine, and they almost envied those cold dead things.In the quiet room, the faint sound of the second hand swinging can be heard. In the monotonous and boring rhythm, the tape compartment of the Walkman clicked, and the plastic film was pulled. After a few seconds, the prelude sounded lively, and the soft and delicate female The alto flowed into the still air like a small river.

The back in front of the window swayed for a moment, and she saw Yu Qingge tilted his head, his eyes hidden by his black hair were fragile and sad, and there seemed to be thousands of words hidden in them.
