White dove

"Ding dong!" A text message popped up on the phone. Tong Tong saw that the payment reminder from the bank was tens of millions. After counting, there were five digits. The sender was Qin Shu.

Tong Tong dialed directly, "Hello." Qin Shu's voice came through the microphone. It had been a long time since I had contacted him, and it sounded a little strange.

"You made the money?" Tong Tong asked.

"Yes, Ludao was transferred, and a transfer fee was charged. This money... was paid by you at the beginning, and half of the transfer fee was added as interest." Qin Shu said.

This feels very strange. Two people who have known each other since childhood, Tong Tong can give everything for Qin Shu, but at this time the two are clearly calculating.

Tong Tong was not used to it. He said, "It's been more than two years since you opened it, and you haven't made any money. You've been subsidizing it all the time, so you don't need to transfer any more money to me."

Qin Shu insisted: "This is different."

What's the difference? Tong Tong couldn't take it anymore, because they separated, so they had to figure it out more clearly?

He changed the subject: "To whom? Is the bar still open?"

Qin Shu said: "I don't know. I'm not a student anyway, so I shouldn't open it. This area is suitable for selling food. Selling hot and dry noodles is also more profitable than opening a bar. Only people like me who don't have a business acumen want to be here. This kind of place has a bar."

"That's not true. If you hadn't made the unit price of soft-hearted customers so low, you wouldn't have..." Tong Tong comforted him. He didn't know how to do it at all. He knew that the transfer of Ludao was not really due to financial problems or lack of money. Maybe Qin Shu slacked off, maybe he was about to graduate and couldn't take care of his energy, or it was simply because he had a fight with Border Town there and he didn't want to see it anymore... Tong Tong was thinking wildly, thinking that the last guess so boring.

Qin Shu was still reassuring him in turn: "It's okay, if it's gone, it's gone. As an experience, you can do other things in the future." He paused: "How is your internship, are you still used to it?"

"Very good." Tong Tong replied quickly, he really felt that he was getting better: "It's more interesting than imagined."

"That's good. You are naturally adaptable and have good grades. Nothing will trouble you." Qin Shu also agreed from the bottom of his heart.

Really, Tong Tong thought, since when did Qin Shu no longer regard him as a person who needs to protect everything and keep him behind?I even feel that he is powerful, unstoppable, and can always handle everything.

Perhaps Qin Shu himself didn't realize that this person was always slow, but at this moment Tong Tong understood that Qin Shu had already let go.

What about himself?

After two weeks, the first rest day after the internship is coming. It is very precious and worth cherishing. Plan carefully how to spend this rare lazy day.

Tong Tong originally wanted to sleep in the dormitory until the sun was up, and then go to the library to read a book in peace and work hard on the thesis that has been slow recently, but Biancheng asked him on the way back to the dormitory last night: "Is it tomorrow?" Can I rest now?"

He nodded and yawned: "Yes, the sleep owed for 300 years can finally be made up for 100 years."

Biancheng smiled, and when he smiled, his upper lip turned up even more. The originally handsome and sharp face added softness and childishness. Tongtong glanced at his side face, thinking that he was only 20 years old after all, and he was a child when he was not tense.Bian Cheng asked: "You don't really want to sleep through tomorrow, do you?"

Tong Tong thought about it, and looked at the border city without saying a word. This person's intentions were too obvious, and he didn't want to hide it at all.

Sure enough, Bian Cheng said frankly: "I want to ask you out."

Without waiting for Tong Tong's response, Bian Cheng asked again: "What kind of place do you like, or what do you like to do?"

Teacher Xiaotong, who had been busy for two weeks, was very tired late at night. He shrank in the passenger seat, kicked off his shoes, and put his legs up, with his elbows on his knees. He looked very tired and lazily The voice dragged on and said: "I don't want to exercise a lot, don't climb mountains, hike, play ball, don't get up early, don't have a lot of people, especially don't have too many children, don't be too strenuous, but don't be too boring..."

As he talked, Tong Tong himself laughed, and he looked towards Biancheng: "Am I difficult?"

The smile on the corner of Bian Cheng's mouth couldn't be suppressed, he turned his head slightly to meet Tong Tong's eyes, and looked back to the front of the road: "It's good to know."

"Hey!" Tong Tong was dissatisfied: "You asked me, and after asking, you said I was difficult."

"It's hard to do, and I didn't say I couldn't do it." Bian Cheng didn't look at him, but reached out and rubbed the back of Tong Tong's head gently.

Tong Tong was curious: "Then where are we going? What are we going to do?"

Bian Cheng didn't answer, but said, "Tomorrow you are allowed to sleep until 10:30, get up and have something to eat, and I will pick you up at eleven o'clock."

"And then?" Tong Tong regained some energy and asked.

"Then...meet all your needs, and take you to a place where there are few people, quiet and leisurely."

"where?"

"How about Shennongjia? I heard that savages were found there again. We can drive there at night. You are so fearless and just keep company with the savages. By the way, let the savages cure your picky and picky problems."

"Hey, you're so boring, you've come all this way just to let me keep company with others?"

"Otherwise, you will be my company?" Bian Cheng said it smoothly.

Tong Tong was taken aback, shit, did Biancheng tease her?You are an honest man, you actually opened your mouth?

"I thought about it, the savage is pretty good, it's pure natural and pollution-free, you can consider it." Tong Tong smirked.

"Well, it's natural to not take a bath for 30 years."

"Ouch——" As an atypical Virgo, Tong Tong seemed to be able to smell it: "You are too ruthless, you business people are so ruthless."

After talking nonsense for a long time, Tong Tong found that the chat was all taken away by the border city. Shennongjia takes four or five hours to drive. It is definitely impossible to go there. Tong Tong is too lazy to ask. , which doesn't feel bad either.

Date, Tong Tong stared at the ceiling of the dormitory at night, thinking of this word, the moonlight is clear and bright, tomorrow must be a good day, this is his first date, and Qin Shu has never used such tricks, he doesn't even know what a date is what a feeling.

The biological clock that has been adjusted for two weeks is stronger than willpower. Tong Tong was so depressed that he wanted to sleep until 10:30, but woke up at 06:30, and reluctantly went on to sleep for two hours. At 08:30 [-]. I felt that my head would hurt if I slept again, so I got up.

The buddies in the dormitory raced against time to go to the self-study room in the library. He was an idler. After washing up, he went downstairs to have breakfast. , Look at the phone, it's only nine fifty.

Teacher Xiaotong was bored, and sent a message to another person who was definitely not able to study by himself: "What?"

Leng Chao replied in seconds: "Self-study room, fish."

"Tsk, you were forced here by Du Li with a gun?"

Leng Chao's dignified face turned upside down for a second: "No, I'm here for my future."

"Don't talk, that thing doesn't exist at all."

"What's the matter with you? So idle? Didn't the other dog guy ask you out?"

Tong Tong blushed for a moment, "He'll come over later."

"Yo, yo, yo!" Leng Chao's gossiping excited face seemed to be in front of his eyes: "You are filling in the blanks with me, and by the way, you are showing off to me, why are you such a person, Tong Xiaotong?! I Very angry, sad, sadness comes from it!"

The play is full of talent, Tong Tong scolded in his heart, and ignored him, and he got stuck when talking about border towns, and he didn't know why.

Biancheng came on time. Tongtong came out of the corridor and saw him standing beside the Volvo car. He probably didn't have to work today. Biancheng dressed completely differently from the past. His old-fashioned middle-aged and old clothes were gone, only a pair of light khaki overalls , white sneakers, white T-shirt, and a camel-colored wool cardigan that looks warm and cozy. He looks like a boy in his twenties. Students of the same age who come in and go out are no different.

Seeing Tong Tong, he pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head and smiled into his sunny eyes.

Tong Tong also wore simple clothes, the same white T and white shoes, a pair of light beige overalls, and a dark gray cardigan sweater.The two got into the car, Tong Tong didn't ask any questions, started the car with the border town, and drove to an unknown place.

Suddenly realizing that this was the first time seeing Biancheng in broad daylight, Tongtong felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was the first date, the first time seeing Biancheng in the daytime. He turned his head and looked at the people around him carefully. Biancheng was driving and wearing sunglasses , the whole person has a bit of a cold breath, but there is always a smile on the face, shallow and indelible, covering the whole face and the whole body.

It's not that dark, Tong Tong murmured in his heart. In those drowsy late nights, he only felt that this person was almost integrated with the shadow. Now when he saw it in the daytime, his skin color was like wheat waves, as if he had hidden the heat of a whole summer.

After getting out of Yemingzhu, the car didn't go to the urban area, but drove directly to the suburbs. The speed of the car was getting faster, Tong Tong closed the side window, and the front skylight was opened in the border city. The wind and sunshine in October were just right, not too dry It was hot, the car passed the expressway but didn't get on it, but got under it and drove along the national highway.

There are mountains and rivers everywhere outside Yijiang City. Xiling Gorge ends here, but the rolling mountains do not stop abruptly. The mountains are no longer towering into the clouds and steep into peaks. hills.

Numerous tributaries of the Yangtze River are hidden in these hills, and the narrow but swift water rushes across the valleys, forming lakes and waterfalls, like green jade belts or jade beads.

The car in Biancheng was driving along a tributary of Yudai River called Xialao Creek. When entering the forest, the temperature dropped a lot. Biancheng closed the skylight and turned on the heating at a low temperature. The old Volvo car made a slight noise. The mountains and trees have already slightly changed color. From a distance, there is a layer of light yellow in the green withered, mixed with a few touches of red. It will be more beautiful in a few days.

On Sunday, the hostess of the radio station didn’t bother to make any more noise, so she simply played songs one after another. Tong Tong heard an old song that was familiar to her ears, “When love is a thing of the past”, but the female voice who sang it was never heard before. Yes, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar, the female singer’s voice is extremely slender, and the treble seems to be hung by silk threads, itchingly massaging people’s hearts. The well-known female singer, Qi Zitan, played several original songs by this niche female singer.

Yishui's fine silk thread voice, Tongtong thinks it sounds good, probably because of the atmosphere, it completely blends with today's tired heart.

"Are you hungry?" Bian Cheng asked.

"It's okay." Tong Tong said, "What shall we eat later?"

Bian Cheng laughed: "So skinny, he's still a foodie."

Tong Tong also smiled: "Look down on people, only thin people can eat."

"Oh, what you said, we'll see how you perform later." Bian Cheng put it off.

Probably farm food, Tong Tong thought, there are too many farm dishes around Yijiang, such as authentic earthen stoves and big iron pots, free-range chickens running all over the mountains, whatever meat dishes Yijiang people like are made into pots, think about it Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

After driving along Xialong Creek for a long time, it was past twelve o'clock, and they stopped in front of a house that looked like they didn't know what it was.

Honked the horn, a gray-haired uncle came out and opened the courtyard door, Bian Cheng and Tong Tong got out of the car, Bian Cheng introduced: "Little Tong, this is Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven, this is Tong Tong."

Seventh Uncle had a pipe in his mouth and laughed heartily. Tong Tong stretched out his hand. Seventh Uncle's hands were full of calluses, and the handshake was very hard, like rough sandpaper.

Entering the courtyard, it turned out to be a house with a very simple appearance, but everything is available inside. The kitchen was steaming, and the iron pot was burning with an earthen stove. Tongtong knew that the smell of the meal could not be escaped when he saw the smoke from the cooking. .

There was a busy woman in the kitchen. Uncle Qi took them in, pointed to the woman with a towel wrapped around her head, who had deep wrinkles in her smile, but her face was full of sunshine, and introduced, "Little Tong, that's Aunt Qi." .”

"Hello Seventh Aunt." Tong Tong walked over, it seemed that it only took a second for him to go from unfamiliar to familiar, rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Seventh Aunt, what can I do for you?"

Seventh aunt waved the spatula to drive him out: "There is no range hood in this kitchen, don't make your whole body smelly, go out quickly, this is the last dish, it will be ready soon."

"Well then, I'll help you get the chopsticks and the bowl."

Said that Biancheng also came over together, and brought the prepared dishes to the small square table that had been set up in the middle of the yard. While doing it, two dogs sprang out from nowhere in the yard, wagging their tails and circling around the legs of the table , the dog's head desperately rushed to the table.

Tongtong took a look, the dogs were still good dogs, one was an Akita and the other was a golden retriever, and they were fluffy and drooping. He quickly pulled the two dogs away. Uncle Qi came over and patted the two dogs on the head: "I only fed the big bones in the morning, so I missed it so soon?"

Bian Cheng came over and hugged the two dogs with one arm. The dogs were very affectionate when they saw him, rubbing their noses and cheeks non-stop, Bian Cheng hurriedly called to stop: "Roll the red dust! How many times have I told you not to lick your face!"

"Huh? What do you call them?" Tong Tong thought she was hallucinating.

Uncle Qi took a puff from his pipe: "Akita is called Gun Gun, and Jin Mao is called Hong Chen."

Tong Tong was so thundered that he rolled into the world of mortals... Do you two know that you have won the Golden Horse Award?

He tugged it and rolled it into his arms, pinched its face, and taught it a lesson: "It's so greedy after winning the movie king, how can you take on the show after getting fat? Huh?"

Bian Cheng hugged the golden retriever and laughed out loud: "I don't know if it will get the show or not, you should not worry about not being able to get the show if you are such a good showman."

Tie up the actor's dogs, and the four of them sat in the small courtyard amidst the clear scenery to eat, fish caught from the Xialong River, freshly slaughtered free-range chickens, home-grown freshly picked vegetables, and salt water. In the face of the endless smiles in the border town, Tong Tong lived up to everyone's expectations and ate himself to perfection.

He was paralyzed on the recliner in the yard and could not move. He stroked the thick fur of the Akita dog with one hand and said with emotion: "Now you are not rolling, but I am."
