White dove

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor, the 29th floor, the border town opened, and when you entered, it was a large duplex, clean but empty.

Biancheng didn't press the switch, and tapped a few times on the mobile phone when they reached the corridor. The light in the living room was on when the two of them entered the door. Tong Tong looked at the light that was the same as the modern avant-garde art, and unconsciously blocked it with his hand. Eyes, too bright, Biancheng swiped a few more times on the phone when he saw this, the living room lights dimmed, and a hidden light strip along the wall turned on, the light was soft, Tong Tong then walked in and looked at it curiously around.

The living room didn’t look like it was often used. Bian Cheng said: “I didn’t buy the house. A client owed me money. If I couldn’t afford it, he gave me the house. If I bought it myself, I wouldn’t buy it like this. The big ones are all wasted and unoccupied.”

The interior design of the house is very good, it doesn't feel too big and unsuitable, but it looks very empty because of the lack of furniture. Tongtong saw the kitchen from the living room, and walked around the study, kitchen and guest bedroom on the first floor. Also both look unused, it's fine, just doesn't feel like a home.

Tong Tong pointed to the stairs: "You live upstairs?"

"Yes." Bian Cheng said, "Go up and have a look?"

Tong Tong hesitated, then shook his head, the bedroom in the border town was too sensitive for him.

There is a very strange comfort in the house. After a while, Tong Tong realized that the source of the comfort seems to be the temperature. The room has been kept at a constant temperature, but it is not the dry heat brought by the air conditioner. Tong Tong took off his coat and looked at it carefully. Next, but did not see any clues. There is no heating in Yijiang in winter, and it is often colder indoors than outdoors, but it is obviously not "normal" in the border town. He asked: "What kind of system is used in your house? Why is it so Comfortable."

"Ha, I saw it." Biancheng shook his phone: "The house was well-decorated when I got it, but I reinstalled a smart home system inside, which can adjust the lighting, temperature, humidity, and lighting in the house. All electrical appliances, as well as many small details related to actual living, etc., can be controlled remotely when not at home, as long as there is an internet connection.”

"It's great," Tong Tong sighed sincerely: "It's very advanced. Now some real estate projects in big cities also have such pilot projects, but not many."

"Well, the system I use at home was developed by my company." Bian Cheng said.

Tong Tong's eyes widened: "What??"

Bian Cheng smiled, feeling a little shy, with a slight blush on his slightly drunk face, he walked to the kitchen and boiled water to make a pot of tea while saying: "I partnered with Su Lei to start a real estate company, it's not big, the development After a few real estate projects, I felt that building a house and selling a house was meaningless, so I wanted to find something different. I felt that smart home must be a big trend in the future, so I started to think about it. Installing it can also be used as a selling point. For this purpose, I went to Germany for an investigation. After returning, I hired a few high-achieving students who returned from studying in Germany with high salaries, and developed our own system. It is still in the internal testing stage. Officially listed."

Tong Tong was in a daze when he heard that, since he came back this time, he knew that Biancheng had done a good job in his career and was very successful, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

He has changed from a mere middleman of construction materials to a truly creative, thoughtful, and brand-conscious entrepreneur. Tong Tong still remembers that day when Bian Long came to ask Bian Cheng to go home and said: A lot of nasty words, saying that without the support of the family, Biancheng can't do anything. Biancheng's counterattack at the time was that the moat of the family's business was too low, and it was too easy to be replaced by others in this era.

It's nice that he's completely gone his own way and built his own moat.

Tong Tong is not sure what state of mind she is in now, appreciate it?admire?Or there is still a trace of unexplainable admiration.

"You are amazing, Border Town." Tong Tong sighed.

"Actually, you don't need a mobile phone, you can wake it up by voice, just like an intelligent robot, but I'm afraid you will think I'm crazy." Bian Cheng added with a smile, poured a cup of freshly brewed black tea for Tong Tong, and pointed On the other side of the living room: "Let's go and sit for a while."

The black tea is warm, take a sip, and warm your stomach and heart all the way.

A row of curtains were pulled up at the other end of the living room, and Biancheng pulled it open with one hand, revealing a whole floor-to-ceiling window, Tong Tong exclaimed: "Wow, you can see the whole city!"

The terrain here is already on the high side. The community is built on a gentle slope along the mountain shape. The building in the border town is at the innermost, with the highest terrain and the top floor. Looking out from the window, a large expanse of light is like stars.

It snowed and melted a while ago, and the whole city looked messy. Standing on a high place now, Tong Tong really felt that Yijiang was different.

He was born here and grew up here, but he has never really seen the city seriously. The only time he was senior Su Lei was on his birthday, when he invited them to dinner at the restaurant of the meteorological tower. Looking down, it has never been like tonight, the whole city is openly and frankly displayed in front of his eyes, beautiful and magnificent, and he feels a little proud for no reason.

Biancheng didn't know the shock in Tongtong's heart. After all, this was the scene he saw every day. To him, it was just as usual. Seeing Tongtong standing in front of the window without speaking for a long time, he leaned over: "What's wrong?"

Tong Tong came back to her senses: "It's okay, I just think...it's so beautiful."

The two stood side by side, a bouquet of fireworks rose in the distant sky, exploded with a "bang", and scattered like sparks, another rose and exploded, Biancheng looked at the time: "It's almost twelve o'clock soon!" Alright, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

As the countdown sounded, Tong Tong turned sideways and raised his head, and was about to say "Happy New Year", but the last "1" in the border town never appeared, "5, 4, 3, 2..." A soft kiss fell down.

The fireworks outside the window ignited and extinguished, the faint sound of firecrackers came and went one after another, the brilliance of a city seemed to be reflected in the eyes of the other party, Tong Tong raised his head slightly, catering to the border town, asking for the border town, his mind was filled with Blank, I don't know how long it took to open my eyes, and saw the amber eyes full of broken stars close at hand.

"Happy New Year," he said.

"Happy forever," he said too.

He didn't leave that night, Bian Cheng stroked his chin, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't go, Xiao Tong."

Tong Tong looked up at him, his breath was hot, and his chest was hot, and he said softly, "Okay, I won't go."

When Tongtong woke up the next day, Biancheng was still asleep. He turned his head to look at the person who was hugging him tightly, feeling unreal in his heart.

After so many years, after thinking for so long, he finally has his lips and teeth attached to the person he misses day and night. He smells him, touches every inch of his skin with his fingers, and everything is familiar.

But nothing happened, Bian Cheng just hugged him and slept all night, kissed him over and over again, but didn't continue.

Tong Tong felt as if he was sealed by something. When they were together, he was always the one who took the initiative. He wanted the border town. In his eyes and mouth, the bright desire hit him directly. Watching the border town surrender, all he could do in his heart was Joy remained, but now he has become fearful and hesitant to move forward. When the border town stopped, he dared not take any more actions.

He was kissed until his whole body became limp, but he heard Bian Cheng say: "Sleep, Tong, good night."

There was a huge loss in my heart in an instant.

Waking up early in the morning, he gently moved Biancheng's arm that was holding him, and got off the bed lightly.

The room was still dark, he looked at everything in the room, furniture, sofa chairs, wardrobe, he opened the wardrobe door, there was a row of suit shirts hanging inside, he pulled out the drawer below, the ties were rolled up and placed in a circle Neat and tidy, who helped the border town clean it up?Housekeeping aunt, or some other man or woman?

Tong Tong thought wildly, then tiptoed out of the room holding her clothes.

The weather on the first day of the new year was fine. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the thin golden light in the distance, and the continuous snow has finally passed.

He got dressed and left a note in the living room: I will go back to the hospital first, the stitches should be removed today, and I wish you all the best in the new year.

The whole room was silent, Tong Tong walked out and closed the door very lightly.

This day, Biancheng didn't show up again, didn't go to the hospital, and didn't contact Tongtong.

In the afternoon of the first day of the new year, the patients on the floors who went home for the New Year came back one after another, bringing a lot of New Year's goods from home to eat, and everyone was very lively.

Yu Xing removed the thread, and Director Ye said that after two more days of observation, there would be no major problems and he would be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow.

Tong Tong was very happy, and Director Ye said, "Little Tong, you can go to the nurse's station to borrow a wheelchair. If you have time, you can push your mother around the corridor or the open space downstairs. It's not good to be bored for a long time. Walk around appropriately. Remember to wear a wheelchair." thicker."

"Okay!" Tong Tong immediately ran to the nurse's station, and pushed a wheelchair over after a while.

When the sun was shining at noon, he and Tong Shining pushed Yu Xing downstairs for a walk. Yu Xing wanted to walk by herself, Tong Shining supported her, and the two walked slowly tremblingly. Tong Tong followed behind with a wheelchair , I suddenly felt that I could accept it, Bian Cheng was right, he was the only one who didn't forgive, Yu Xing had really seen it through, and the past was wiped out, as long as Tong Shining behaved like this, there is a high probability that the two of them will live forever.

That's fine too, so be it.

Tong Tong checked out of the hotel room one day in advance, and moved her luggage back to Tong Shining's house, and she would be able to go back one day later, the days of fear were finally over.

There was no news from Biancheng the next day, and Tong Shining was still urging him: "Tell Xiao Bian, we will go home soon, let him come to eat at home."

Tong Tong muttered vaguely, swiping his phone over and over again. After staying in the hospital for so long, there are a lot of things in the ward. He plans to rent a car so that he can bring his things back tomorrow.

I found a nearby car rental company and was about to go there when news from Border Town came: "What time will you be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

"How do you know?" Tong Tong walked back.

"I added Director Ye's WeChat account, you forgot?" Bian Cheng came back: "Plus you canceled all the hotel rooms, I thought I was discharged from the hospital today, but I only found out it was tomorrow after I asked Dr. Ye."

Tong Tong hesitated for a moment: "Are you busy these days? I'll just rent a car. It's right next to me, and it's very convenient."

"That's it. I'll come over early tomorrow morning." Bian Cheng ignored his words and made a conclusion directly.

It was the same familiar BMW SUV, filled with a family of three, half a car full of various things, and left the hospital as if moving house. Sued someone.

Although the conditions in the hotel are definitely better than those at home, the moment Tong Tong walked in with her parents, she still felt that she had to live at home. No wonder she always felt like a passer-by, because she had been staying in the hotel alone since she came back. Return to normal.

He took a deep breath, and the emptiness in his chest disappeared miraculously.
