White dove

It was already late when he came out of Yu Xing's house. Tong Tong got on the bus and took out his mobile phone only to see that Biancheng had sent him countless messages and missed calls. He agreed to go to Qiqiu together after finishing his defense tomorrow. Uncle eats there to celebrate, and Uncle Seven specially asks Tongtong what he likes to eat, so that he can prepare the ingredients in advance.

Only one afternoon later, Tongtong suddenly felt that all of this was far away. The border town and those warm and lovely people around him had originally thought that they would also be his life, but fate made him sober, no, no.

He also suddenly understood Yu Xing's choice, he would rather make an agreement exchange with Ren Jikai, because she is the mother, she would rather Tongtong complain that she hated her, than hand over her "burden" to him.

When love comes, it disregards people's wishes and is defenseless, and when love is about to be taken away, it doesn't even care about people's life or death.

The bus was jolting like that maddening afternoon in September when he was in the car of fate and hadn't foreseen the man he was destined to meet that night.

In the border town, Tong Tong knew now that he didn't have this life.

The one-hour bus ride barely left room for him to sort out his emotions, and he returned to the border town, "I have taken the medical examination report, and have been doing some docking with the shipping trading company, so I didn't bother to reply to the news."

Biancheng replied in seconds, as if he was relieved: I almost went to report the crime, but there was no news for eight hours.

Only eight hours, Tong Tong thought, what if there are eighty hours, eight hundred hours, eight thousand hours?He did the math, they had known each other for nine months, luckily it was only nine months, it was better than being apart after nine years together, everything was still in time.

He stayed at Yu Xing's house for the medical examination report, and it is no longer needed. Four Seas Shipping will receive a copy from the hospital. If there is no accident, he will receive a contract termination email in the next few days. The vast, drifting, groundless freedom once again rushed towards us.

The taste is as uncomfortable as ever.

Bian Cheng had cooked the meal at home but hadn't eaten it, and had been waiting for someone, the food on the table was cold, and Tong Tong couldn't eat at Yu Xing's house, so he ate a few mouthfuls with Bian Cheng when he got home.

There have been more entertainments in Biancheng recently, probably because the business of the new company has finally improved, and Tongtong is happy for him. Although Biancheng always said that he would leave home sooner or later, if it wasn't for Tongtong, he wouldn't be here at 20. At the age of 27, he will come out to venture into the rivers and lakes alone. He is too young and immature. According to the normal trajectory, he should be 30 or [-] years old, and then start his own business at the age of [-], which will save him a lot of unnecessary hard work.

Tong Tong felt that Biancheng should return to his original track, and wait for the real right time in his career to come. Everything will follow the trend and will happen naturally.

After dinner, Biancheng went to wash the dishes. While tidying up the house, Tongtong heard Biancheng ask him loudly: "How is the connection with the company today? Are you sure when to board the ship? Where do you get on?"

Tong Tong was stunned, and saw the back of the border city from the living room, bowed his head and lowered his head, the pool was splashing, he paused and said: "It should be next week, I didn't say the exact date, I have to report to the Shanghai company first , do entry."

He lied, almost blurted it out, lied before he had time to think.

The sound of rushing water stopped, and Biancheng turned off the faucet: "So fast."

He put the washed dishes into the draining sink, turned around and leaned against the sink, slowly wiping his hands with a serious expression on his face.

Tong Tong really wanted to go over and hug him, hanging on him like before, leaning his head on his shoulder softly and coquettishly: "I'll just go for a while, a year will pass soon " But he couldn't move, he froze in place like a fossil, and a voice in his heart said: "No, you can't do this, you have to stay away."

Bian Cheng looked at him, smiled suddenly, came over and rubbed the top of his head: "Look at you, I'm not angry, I'll accompany you when I go to Shanghai, and I want to watch you get on the boat."

Tongtong's heart skipped a beat, and the word "no" was about to blurt out, but he gritted his teeth and smiled, saying, "Okay, I've never been to Shanghai, and it's the first time I've traveled far to go to the other side of the world." one side."

Biancheng laughed again: "Fool... you have to send me a message wherever you go, and go ashore after the boat enters the port for a stroll, don't you want to see the world, and share everything you see with me."

"Okay." Tong Tong is almost convinced that he is really going to travel far away, to the corners of the world, and then share all the beauty and bad, ordinary and great on the road with his distant lover, He said: "I send you postcards everywhere I go, and then you keep receiving postmarks from various places, and my silly words, isn't it interesting?"

Interested in the border town, he turned on the computer and found a map of the world: "Do you know how your route takes you? What places do you pass along the way? See what these places have, and I will make a travel guide for you first."

"Hey, I'm going to work..."

"Almost, you have to take a break from work, and go shopping in every place before you work."

"..."

Tong Tong didn't care about it, knowing that everything was fake, but he was greedy for the tenderness of this moment. At night, he asked for it from the border town without end. He wanted it, like a person who has walked in the desert for countless days and nights and finally saw the clear spring. With despair and longing for nothing more.

In the sweltering night, he searched for the border town, and sweat poured down like a waterfall, covering the two drowning people.

After everything stopped, Tong Tong's heart suddenly became quiet. Since God's will is irreversible, the fate written into the gene has already pointed to another path, so let's do it, plunge into the torrent of fate.

Everyone was nervous during the defense, but Tong Tong was not. Chen Wang was uncharacteristically, and asked a lot of difficult questions angrily. The other teachers were shocked. Tong Tong knew that he had really let down old man Chen and Gu Yingfu, but Chen Wang gave him almost a full score for his defense after making things difficult. Tong Tong knew that the old man was a man of temperament, and anger was real anger Love is also true love.

This is the last monster to be fought in the four years of university, the defense is over, and the youth is officially over.

When she walked out of the Shaw Building where she was defending, Tong Tong saw a person downstairs, she was very conspicuous, Tong Tong saw her at a glance, not only because of her dress, but also because of the face that resembled Bian Cheng, if Bian Long and Bian Cheng were only three The one in front of her is seven points, and Tong Tong knew who she was right away.

The middle-aged beautiful woman walked towards Tongtong and held out her hand: "Hi Tongtong, I'm Bian Ling, the eldest sister of Biancheng, are you free? Let's chat."

Bian Ling doesn't act like a rich man at all. Parked at the door of Shaw Building is just a very simple and durable family car. The clothes don't have any brand but are of good quality. The experience that a woman of this age should have is almost naturally presented on the Internet. Her hands look like hands that have been polished by wind and frost. Except for a diamond ring on her ring finger, there are no other accessories. She has brought up three or four younger siblings. She earned the family business with her husband, no matter what Tong Tong heard about what she did to the border town in the past, she is a woman worthy of respect.

They didn't go anywhere else, they just walked around the campus randomly, walked past the football field where Xiyuan met Mu Ke, Su Lei met Cheng Shanshan's volleyball field, Bian Ling stopped, she looked at the students who came and went He Feiyang's youthful smiling face: "If there hadn't been that incident back then, Biancheng should be like them now, playing ball, attending classes, and living a normal life that he should have at his age."

Tong Tong looked at her: "Do you regret it?"

Bian Ling didn't speak, didn't look at him, just said: "Everyone has different positions and identities, and I know in my heart that I have to empathize, but it's hard to do it. I was born as a big sister, and I have never experienced the so-called freedom and willfulness. I can't understand why he can ignore everything and just want to be happy, everyone has a responsibility in this society, and he can't escape."

"Do you think Border Town is selfish?" Tong Tong asked her.

"Yes." Bian Ling turned her head, looked at the young boy and said frankly: "The relatives who grew up together, if you say no, you don't want it."

Tong Tong was speechless, not knowing how to reply.

But Bian Ling laughed, mocking herself: "He is just like me, stubborn and selfish. I always only consider him from my own standpoint, and he is the same. I don't understand the responsibilities I have to bear as the eldest sister of the family. .”

Tong Tong was silent, Bian Ling was right, but...

After a while, Bian Ling asked him, "How is he doing during this time?"

Tong Tong was stunned, he wanted to say yes, but he couldn't say it, the border town was not very good, at the beginning of his career, because of work and money, he often couldn't sleep, and he had to avoid worrying Tong Tong, get up and smoke after he fell asleep , he said: "He... can still hold on, but it is very hard."

"Work?" Bian Ling said: "I admit that I have made some obstacles, but these are all things he has to go through. It is not easy to start a business. If he wants to come out and do it himself, he must be prepared for this. We were his backing before. Now he's a contender."

"He understands this and has never complained. Now he is finally better and has improved." Tong Tong defended Biancheng.

"You mean the project of Hengxiang Real Estate? I told Mr. Shao, I withdrew from the order, and specified that it would be done for Biancheng." Bian Ling spoke calmly, but Tong Tong was startled.

Isn't this project the line of Su Lei?Bian Ling looked at the stunned Tong Tong, and continued: "I have known Su Lei's mother for many years. Before Su Lei got married, I had already negotiated with Hengxiang. They never showed up in Yijiang. , Let them become the first customers of Border Town, the most suitable."

It turned out that everything was like this. Thinking of Bian Cheng’s rare smiling face recently, she couldn’t bear to tell him the truth no matter what. Bian Ling seemed to be able to read people’s hearts and said to him: "Surprised? You don’t need to tell him, just treat it as if I quit I took a step forward and wanted to restore the relationship between relatives with him. He is only 20 years old. This society is much more complicated than he imagined. Maybe he is eager to get rid of my control, but I can also be his umbrella, and then he will find that there is something More clients are willing to cooperate with him, and one day he will find out that I am the person behind all this, and then I think he and I can sit down and have a peaceful chat.”

"Why are you telling me this?" Tong Tong asked.

"Because," Bian Ling looked at him, "you are the key. You can make his life harder or easier. The choice is yours."

Tong Tong remembered what Bian Long said before, which was exactly the same as what he heard now.

Do you love him?If you love, why are you willing to let him live so hard and suffer so much?

Do you love him?If you love, why are you willing to let him accompany you for the rest of your possibly crazy life?

I love him, I am not willing, so I let go first and leave.

People come and go on the campus, and the university is like a place that keeps fresh forever, containing the youth of forever 20 years old. Countless people meet and fall in love here, and countless people experience the sweetness and astringency of love for the first time here.

Tong Tong looked into Bian Ling's eyes deeply: "Okay, I promise you."

Tong Tong put a letter in Yu Xing's place and said, "If a boy comes to me one day, you give this to him."

On an ordinary morning on the eve of graduation, Biancheng left home early like every day before. There was steaming steamed soy milk steamed buns on the table. He took it off, put it gently on the table, and finally took the box, closed the door, and went down to the fifth floor step by step.

Standing downstairs, I turned my head and looked up for the last time. There was a small pot of succulents on the window sill, and a pink flower bloomed in the morning light. When the breeze blew, the pink flower shook its head.

He turned off his mobile phone, cut off all contact information, and took the small deposit, all the way south, and then upstream along the coastline, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Taizhou, Hangzhou, and finally arrived in Nanjing.

He changed a new number and called Mu Ke, who had already sold a house in Nanjing. It was already three months later.

He lost a lot of meaningless fantasies about work and life. When the savings were in a hurry, he went to do real estate sales with Mu Ke, and rented a hut after getting the second month's salary.

As a newcomer, I often have to work overtime, various trainings, sales merchandising, and customer service. It is not like what Mu Ke imagined at the job fair, just sitting in the sales office all day waiting for people to come to the door.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of September again, the summer in Nanjing is endless, and it’s still scorching hot at the end of September. After working overtime at night, Tong Tong passed by the central shopping mall in Xinjiekou. A TV station’s singing talent audition is being held at the door. A boy dressed in punk is on the stage Sing an old song hoarsely.

"Don't ask why you shed tears

不 在乎 你 心里 有 谁

且 让 我 你 安慰

不论 结局 是 是 悲

traversed thousands of mountains and rivers

In my heart you will always be so beautiful?..."

Tong Tong stopped. He knew that this song had been sung by someone with all his heart and soul. That person said that it was the only thing he could give it to someone.

The participating boys on the stage sang intoxicatedly, and Tong Tong's heart burst suddenly.

He ran away in a panic, returned home, and locked himself in the dark for a long time.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep, the sweltering day seemed to be brewing the last thunderstorm at the end of summer, Tong Tong sat up from the bed, found the suitcase from the bottom of the bed, found a small box from the inside pocket, opened it, Inside was an old cell phone card.

He put the card into the phone and pressed the power button.

In an instant, countless messages poured in, and he quickly swipe through one by one, and there was a simple message mixed in the commotion.

He stared at it for a long time, the message was shining in the dark night, Bian Cheng said: "No matter what tomorrow is, there was no turning back."

-End of Volume [-]-
