be late

In winter, it was getting dark quickly. When Shu Yubai left the company, he found that it was snowing, and his cheeks were slightly cool.

As always, back up and hit the road.In the car is Nan Xue's favorite piano piece, Chopin, Op.9.No.2.

Everything Nan Xue likes, the music is the piano she loves, the incense is the Japanese ARTLABPORTEBONHEUR, the plain paper flowers, one white and one pink, are quietly inserted in the glass bottle obliquely.

In fact, Shu Yubai hated the incense in the car, it made her want to vomit, but Nan Xue liked it, so she pretended to like it too.

Nan Xue's place of work is far away from her. During the rush hour, there will be heavy traffic jams. In fact, the subway will be much more convenient than driving.

But Nanxue said, the subway is too crowded, there is no place to sit, so tired.

So Shu Yubai said, I will pick you up after that.Anyway, on the way.

How could it be on the way?

Shu Yubai smiled from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know how long such days will last, but she is a little tired.

Is it over, she is reluctant.

The car stopped firmly at the entrance of the company, and the phone rang.After connecting to the Bluetooth, Nan Xue's voice echoed in the empty car.

"I still have a meeting, wait for me."

Very natural tone.

But her voice is so nice, like crushed ice, cold and clear.

Just listening to her voice, Shu Yubai had no intention of complaining.

There was even a faint heartbeat.

It has been seven years since they met.

For seven years, she has guarded a straight daughter, always thinking that the other party will one day be enlightened.But seven years have passed, and nothing happened between the two of them.Occasionally Shu Yubai jokingly kissed her on the cheek, but Nan Xue didn't show any shy expression, she just took it for granted.

——They are good friends, what is a kiss on the face?What a normal thing.

A beautiful person like Nan Xue has never had a boyfriend since she grew up, so why can't she be curvy like her?

Shu Yubai lay on the steering wheel for a while, thinking that it was time for her to come, so he raised his head and looked at his face in the rearview mirror.

I'm used to it, and every time I see Nan Xue, I will pay attention to her image.

She was wearing a camel turtleneck sweater, her white and soft chin was buried in a woven thick check scarf, her eyelashes blinked slightly, and her eyes were like a pair of deer, gentle and agile.The lip color is orange, very warm feeling.Even in winter, her lips are shiny and beautiful, soft and moving.

She picked up the kettle, took a sip of hot water, and before she could swallow it, she saw a person in white down walking slowly on the snow in the distance.

Nanxue is tall and tall, with fluffy down and thick winter skirt, her legs are unbelievably straight and slender, her perfect proportions are like a girl from a cartoon.The short shoulder-length hair is like ebony, which sets off the whiteness of the cheeks.The blue scarf was loosely wrapped a few times, and his expression was dull, looking a little cold.

Shu Yubai then opened the car door, opened the umbrella, and went to pick her up.

Before the smile on her face spread, she saw a tall man walk up to her, lowered his head slightly, and handed her a bag of things in his hand. Nan Xue actually didn't refuse, and took it naturally. The man smiled.

Shu Yubai then stopped in place.

After a while, the conversation between Nan Xue and the man finally ended.

"Is it cold?" Shu Yubai walked up with a smile, and squeezed her hand, which was soft and cold.

"It's okay." Nan Xue smiled at her, her cherries-colored lips, like cherries, should be delicious to kiss.

Shu Yubai looked down at the thing in her hand, and asked softly, "What is that?"

"Dumplings." Nan Xue said softly, "We'll cook them when we go back, so we don't need to cook."

"That person gave it to you just now?" Shu Yubai asked.

"Ah."

"Who is he?"

"colleague."

Shu Yubai was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Ordinary colleagues?"

However, the tone betrayed the disguise, and became sharp uncontrollably.

Nan Xue glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "He's chasing me."

Shu Yubai let out an "oh" and said, "If you think he's good, just accept it."

Then he turned around and got into the car without saying a word.

The piano music in the car was still playing, it was the one that Nan Xue said she liked.The sound of Lingling's dingdong reminded her of the girl sitting in front of the piano many years ago and said: My favorite is nocturne, and I only play it for you.

I just play it for you.

Because of such a sentence, Shu Yubai has been acting affectionate for so many years.

"Why is it this song again?" Nan Xue frowned impatiently as soon as she got into the car, and said, "Let's change to another song, I'm tired of listening to it."

Shu Yubai ignored her.

The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Xue seemed a little confused.

Shu Yubai turned her head and looked at the snow falling slowly outside the window. When the green light came on, she stepped on the accelerator.

"Do you know what day it is?"

Shu Yubai said suddenly.

"What day?" Nan Xue said.

"My birthday." Shu Yu smiled in vain, and the laughter was inexplicably bleak.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Nan Xue looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the matter, so there's no reason to be angry.

She smiled and said, "What gift do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Shu Yubai shook his head, just said: "I changed jobs, and I have to move next."

"Huh?" Nan Xue asked suspiciously, "Where should we move?"

The two have been living together since graduation, and Nan Xue thinks that she will continue to maintain the relationship with Shu Yubai as roommates and good friends.

"It's not 'we', it's 'I'." Shu Yubai said, "I'm not working in Beijing anymore, I'm going to be transferred to Shenzhen."

"Are you going to Shenzhen?"

Nan Xue suddenly opened her eyes wide, feeling a little dazed.

"Ah."

Shu Yubai felt a little bit reluctant, is it over?real?

"Then I'll go too." Nan Xue turned her head to look at her, her eyes sparkling: "I'll go wherever you go, I made an appointment at the beginning."

"not very convenient."

"why?"

"Don't you have a boyfriend? Why are you living with me?" Shu Yubai said with a smile.

Nan Xue argued: "He was just chasing me, I didn't agree."

"Sooner or later there will be."

"..."

Nan Xue seemed to have finally realized something, and looked at Shu Yubai nervously.

Shu Yubai looked at her quietly, and said half-jokingly: "I'm going to have a girlfriend. The kind that gets along seriously. It's impossible to continue living with you."

Nan Xue's face froze for a moment.

After a while, she stared into Shu Yubai's eyes, and said softly: "With whom."

"you do not know."

The piano music in the car turned into a piece of jazz, with lazy singing, intermittent, and in the silence, it seemed extraordinarily dull.

Arriving home soon, Shu Yubai parked the car, opened the door, and a gust of cold wind blew snow into the car.Nan Xue pulled the scarf to cover her nose, got out of the car, and looked at Shu Yubai eagerly like a child.

Shu Yubai said: "I'll go back and cook dumplings by myself later, I won't eat them at home."

Nan Xue grabbed her sleeve.

"Where are you going?" she asked sullenly.

Shu Yubai turned his head, with a self-deprecating smile in his eyes.

"Dating."

After saying this, Shu Yubai got back into the car with a short body, closed the door, shunted the car and left neatly.

The night was thick, Shu Yubai looked out through the black car glass, Nan Xue was still standing there, alone, without an umbrella, a layer of snowflakes fell on her thin shoulders, she was a bit pitiful.
