2020 has repeatedly proved to us that everything can change in an instant.

During the short time that Xin Yue and Jiang Yinqi were telling the story, the situation had changed again.

Xin Yue's friend in New York sent an email saying that a patient was diagnosed at a Boston trade show she attended, so she was quarantined at home in panic and could not help Xin Yue.Moreover, friends persuaded Xin Yue to give up the trip to New York. The city is in chaos, and now is not a suitable time to find someone.

Xin Yue sat blankly in front of the computer, his brain paralyzed.The pressure that was released just now because of talking, gathered back in the body in a blink of an eye.

It may be wrong to say that people have short-term worries without long-term considerations, at least not for 2020.Xin Yue was anxious ahead of time, thinking that she could avoid all kinds of troubles, but the reality told her that she couldn't avoid anything, and it would be better to walk to troubles in a daze.

In the afternoon, she plausibly said to Jiang Yinqi, "What's the use of panic when you see a wolf?" In fact, panic in advance is still useless.If wolves really appeared, Xin Yue would be as helpless as Jiang Yinqi, and the possibility of being eaten by wolves would be about the same, and would not be any safer.

Xin Yue tracks the changes in those numbers every day and makes various predictions. However, her predictions cannot change the law of changes in the numbers, let alone accurately predict the behavior of human beings in response to disasters, such as the attitude of others towards the epidemic, and the US President’s response to the epidemic. evaluation and decision-making, etc. . . . .

Xin Yue has fallen into a state of dashing in one direction without thinking.From the moment she got on the plane, she had already set up an imaginary goal that must be accomplished: she must find trouble.As the price she paid increased, the more she could not turn back.

This emotion is contagious.After hearing Xin Yue's story, Jiang Yinqi was also infected with this courageous emotion.She firmly told Xin Yue that they were going to New York together, and she would not let Xin Yue take the risk alone.Jiang Yinqi also shook Xin Yue's hand vigorously.

However, two days later, they were stopped at customs.The policy of the United States has changed again, and Xin Yue cannot enter the United States.

The two had no choice but to go back the same way, silent all the way.Xin Yue only sighed, and turned to a superstitious thought in his heart: this is all arranged by fate.

Xin Yue made another decision in the silence all the way, giving up.

After arriving home, Xin Yue started looking for air tickets back home.Facts have proved that you can't just turn your head back if you want to.There is no turning back for many things.

For the next few days, the whole world was paralyzed.Countries closed their customs one after another, flights were grounded, and Xin Yue's return flight was cancelled.Xin Yue suddenly became a desperate person who couldn't return home.

"Unexpectedly, I was forced to the end of the mountain again." Xin Yue took a sip of the red wine Jiang Yinqi handed over, put down the glass, and said with emotion, "I have been thinking these days, it seems that hard work can always get me to this step. Even if he disappears, he can still do it."

Xin Yue, who was exhausted by the reality, was actually not so angry anymore, not even as anxious as before.

"No, Xin Yue, this time you are not at your wit's end, you have me by your side." Jiang Yinqi gently hugged Lou Xinyue, "You can live here with peace of mind."

"What's the matter with me being here for a long time? I always have to go home and work."

Jiang Yinqi smiled, "The whole world is at a standstill, what can you do? Xin Yue, it's actually quite a magical reality, right? I always thought that human beings are running on a treadmill that is constantly accelerating, and it will only get faster and faster until Crash. Now the treadmill has stopped, unbelievable? We can witness this magical moment together."

Jiang Yinqi's calm attitude was very soothing to Xin Yue.Xin Yue tilted his head, with a study-like expression, "You are amazing, your way of speaking is very interesting."

"Oh? The way I speak? Is there a problem?"

"No, it's not a problem, it's a style. Like you don't like to simply say, we're all locked up at home. Work is shut down everywhere. You're going to say that human beings are running on a treadmill that's accelerating and now the treadmill stops gone."

"Haha, is that so? How about another example?" Jiang Yinqi laughed.

"For another example, you would not simply say that this crystal wine glass is exquisite, and you would not simply describe the texture and pattern of the crystal glass. You like to say that they all have stories, the linear development of history, and so on."

Jiang Yinqi thought so deeply, so he took the conversation and continued, "Yes, I won't say that although this pasta is delicious, it takes a lot of time. I will say, why do humans spend so much time on satisfying their appetites?" ? Or I would say that the symbolic meaning of food is greater than the actual meaning. Wearing a good-looking dress, I would say, why do people always try to please others? Instead of directly saying, you are so beautifully dressed today.”

Xin Yue was amused, "Have you been talking like this since you were a child?"

Jiang Yinqi thought for a while, "My habitual answer is that living alone for a long time will probably gradually form such a language style. But now I am ready to make a change. My fresh answer is that being locked up at home It’s nice to have you by my side when I’m here.”
