Promised period

Song Ke couldn't figure out what Chen Jue meant by the last night.

Finally regaining consciousness, I was still standing on the balcony that was ventilated on three sides, and the two hands that were holding on to the railing were cold and wet.He was not in the mood to pack up his things, so he went back to the living room to warm up for a while, and then he started looking at the house on his mobile phone.

It must be near the company and the price is moderate. There are not many choices.It seemed that he was gradually losing interest, and he was always in a state of anxiety, always feeling uneasy.

But it's not because of worrying about Chen Jue.

He thought he knew a little about Chen Jue.She survived the period when she just woke up, and now Chen Jue must be fine.However, after cheering up and washing up, he couldn't help but look out the window after entering the bedroom.

Water was running through the cracks of the window, the sycamore trees outside were shaking violently, and the road was full of broken branches and leaves.After a while, lightning and thunder began again, and the rain seemed to be splashed directly on the ground, causing big bubbles to splash on the ground. If a person stood outside for a few seconds, his whole body would definitely be soaked.

I swipe my phone to check the weather forecast.

This new mobile phone has many tricks, and Song Ke has not fully learned how to use it so far. It took a long time to find the weather bar.As a result, it started at one o'clock, and the rain became heavier from now until three o'clock in the morning. After three o'clock, it slowed down, and it would not stop until seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning.The mobile phone also kindly reminded him that the roads are seriously flooded, and it is best not to go out unless necessary.

After thinking about it, he decided to call Chen Nian.

Chen Nian answered after several rings, and then asked, "Who is it?"

She doesn't have his new number.

"It's me, Song Ke."

She let out an ah, both surprised and delighted: "Song Ke? Did you change your number?"

"Well, it's been a while." He sat by the window, feeling a little chill coming into the room, "What are you busy with recently, why haven't you slept so late."

Chen Nian should have asked him this question, but he asked first.Chen Nian was quiet for a moment, and said, "I'm busy with the company's affairs. There are a lot of things. What about you, I heard from my brother that you are also very busy recently."

"Same, it's about work."

Compared with his calmness, she seemed a little cautious: "Actually, I have missed you a little during this time, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I haven't contacted you."

The fingertips touched the laptop, but the supposedly cold metal shell was slightly warm.He said: "It's okay, there is still time to reply to the message, but it is more difficult to meet."

She was silent.

He smiled: "Why don't you talk?"

After a long time, she spoke hoarsely: "I have no face to see you."

It just so happened that he got up and found a fleece jacket to put on, and when he came back, Chen Nian was still waiting for him quietly, waiting for him to speak to condemn her useless confession, but he didn't know that he didn't hear clearly at all.

"What did you say?"

Chen Nian plucked up his courage and continued, "Song Ke, I'm ashamed to see you. I've thought about it a lot during this time, and the more I think about it, the more I feel selfish. I didn't know how to appreciate you for being so kind to me before. Instead, I kept taking Your feelings for your brother kidnapped you, no matter what the reason, it's too selfish. My brother told me not to bother you anymore, saying that you have your own life to live, but I have always felt guilty and couldn't let it go. But I I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope that you can take care of your health, and occasionally... have a meal with us once in a while, and let us know that you are doing well."

He spoke very slowly, not as brightly as before.Song Ke remembered that she used to love to laugh and was greedy, but she was easy to get fat after eating a little, so she always clamored to lose weight.She was spoiled by her parents and elder brother, but she worked very hard, with a strong personality, and she was focused on maintaining the Chen family's foundation.Her eyes were on the top of her head, and nine and a half out of ten suitors were dissatisfied, but she had always been very kind to him, a little dependent on him, and wanted to buy him a copy of every good thing she encountered.

He tucked his left hand into the sleeve, and the soft lining felt extra warm.

"After a while, I will treat you to dinner later."

She was silent for a while, and finally cried quietly.The cell phone signal was like a thin thread, stringing up the tears she shed, wet from one end to this end.

"I'm still crying when I'm too old."

After a while, she stopped crying, a little embarrassed: "I will invite you when the time comes, and I should invite you for this meal anyway."

He smiled: "Why, did you meet a handsome guy on a blind date?"

"Where is it?" She smiled through tears, "I have long given up on the blind date business, and I plan to go to the nunnery to shave my head and become a sister-in-law."

"Remember to choose a nunnery that is closer, it is convenient to meet."

As soon as this is said, the conversation box will open.Chen Nianxu talked to him about many things, saying that Cheng Yi'an blamed her, the two had a cold war for a long time, and they just reconciled two days ago.It is said that Aunt Gu's child has been admitted to graduate school and will come to Linjiang to play this summer vacation, so Aunt Gu doesn't have to go home, and she doesn't have to worry about being hungry.She also said that her hair has grown very long, and she had a Korean-style perm last week, but the effect was not satisfactory. I will ask him to comment on the next meeting.

Song Ke listened silently, occasionally glanced out of the window, but never found a chance to ask her.

Finally, it came to Chen Jue.Said that he asked her to buy supplements and send them to the original home, but everything was returned, and the kitchen was almost out of piles.She secretly informed: "You didn't even see him at that time, his face was drawn so long, like a black-faced Baogong. I said, 'Go and call Song Ke', but he refused to call, afraid of running into trouble, so he just Can be angry with myself."

Song Ke didn't know about this at all, let alone any supplements, so she asked after a while: "Is he at home?"

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment: "Didn't he move to your next door? He hasn't been home for a long time. Besides sweeping his parents' tomb every day, he would go to the doctor to ask about your condition." After speaking, he realized that there would be a misunderstanding, so he hurried He explained, "It's not about inquiring about your privacy, it's just visiting some experts and asking them to help check it."

Song Ke didn't have the heart to delve into these things, so she paused silently.

"Are you looking for him?"

"No, just ask."

I hung up the phone and lay down. I thought I was doomed to insomnia, but I didn't expect to fall asleep quickly after drinking the medicine.

It's just that the thoughts are still confused in sleep.

I dreamed that I was sitting in a closed park on a rainy day, waiting, waiting, not knowing who I was waiting for.I was alone on the bench, with insufficient clothes and no cell phone in my coat, only cigarettes and a silver square lighter.He was so cold that he breathed white air, and couldn't resist lighting one and biting it into his mouth.A touch of bitterness, a touch of mint, just like that suppresses the feeling of coldness and loneliness.When it was about to burn out, a voice finally came from a distance, and someone called him: "Song Ke!" It seemed to come to pick him up.He hurriedly stood up and opened his mouth to agree, but suddenly his throat stopped making any sound.

The park bench was made of wrought iron, and the legs almost tripped him over.He staggered and woke up in such a hurry, only to hear someone knocking on the door outside.

The torrential rain outside the window still did not stop, and the door panels were slammed.The voice was very muffled, vaguely as if it was very close, it just hit his heart, making his heart tremble.

He didn't move, and took a while to get up and put on his slippers.

"coming."

Opening the door, Chen Jue didn't know where to go and got drenched all over. There was no dry place on his body, and his lips were black and blue from the cold.He raised his eyes to look at Song Ke, but the tip of his hair was still dripping, so his eyes could only be half-open.

"I woke you up..."

His voice was hoarse, his back was slightly arched, and his hands were tightly wrapped in the windbreaker. He didn't know why.

Song Ke was stunned for a moment before her face became tense, and she pursed her lips and took a deep breath: "What are you doing here so late? Let's talk about it another day if you have anything to say. I'm going to bed, and I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

Chen Jue stretched out his hand to hold the door.

Song Ke was so upset that she asked him to leave with a cold face.His tall figure cast a shadow in front of Song Ke, and he did not move until the sensor light was completely dimmed.

Song Ke pushed him hard, but couldn't move, and was so anxious that she wanted to curse: "What on earth do you want to do? You left without saying a word and ran back without saying a word. What obligation do I have to wait for you? Why should I wait for you?" ? Go away, I'm going to rest."

"Listen to me, listen to me..."

Chen Jue hurriedly took out something from the windbreaker, but a big man moved very carefully, as if he was at a loss, for fear of breaking something.

The moment Song Ke lowered her head, she was stunned.

In his arms was a cat, a kitten so dirty it was almost unrecognizable.But Song Ke still recognized it at a glance.

"Where did you find it?"

Chen Jue didn't explain anything, but he was relieved to see Song Ke's surprise, and reminded him in a hoarse voice: "Check carefully to see if it is..."

The two hands that passed the cat were covered with scratches, the nails were full of mud, and the cuffs were wet and dirty.In an instant, Song Ke understood everything, her eyes became hot, and she took it over and said thank you.Chen Jue apologized to him in a low voice, saying: "It took me so long to find it, it's all my fault."

I haven't seen Xiao Jiu for more than a month. Not only is she not thin but she is fat. There is a lot of dirt accumulated in the corners of her eyes, and her hair is also dirty and knotted. Her two round eyes are staring at her master, and she is meowing softly.Song Ke looked down at it, her throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, she couldn't swallow it, she couldn't cough it out, her eyes were regurgitated, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what to say to Chen Jue What, I can only hug Xiao Jiu tightly and not let go.

Chen Jue's face was extremely red, his whole body was wet, but his lips were white and dry, so he spoke slowly, "It may have fleas on it, be careful."

Xiao Jiu arched gently in Song Ke's arms, as if being held was uncomfortable.Song Ke finally felt unbearable and said, "You should go home quickly, it will be better if you drink some hot water."

He must have been looking for it all night, just like he did when he was looking for the ring in the grass, and he had to work hard to find it.

He suddenly coughed, coughing so loudly that he couldn't straighten up when he bent down.Song Ke didn't have a hand to help him, so she could only urge him: "Really, go back quickly."

"Wait for me for a few more minutes, I'll get you something when I get home."

Song Ke took a breath and wanted to refuse, but Chen Jue turned around and opened the door regardless, the hand holding the key was trembling anxiously: "You wait for me, I will be back soon."

Song Ke said, "I really don't want it anymore." Chen Jue didn't hear it, so he opened the door and walked in.

Looking at the darkness in his house, Song Ke sat back on the sofa at a loss, not knowing whether to wait or close the door.

Fortunately, Chen Jue came back within two or three minutes, walked up to him, and had a big boxy box in his hand.Song Ke said, "Please sit down." She shut Xiao Jiu into the room, and after closing the door, she took a deep breath before turning around.

Chen Jue sat on the sofa with the box in front of him.

Song Ke asked him, "Do you want some water?"

He said that there is no need to be busy: "You sit too, just a few words, and I will leave after I finish."

Song Ke looked out the window and looked at him again, only to feel that his face was so cold that his face was uncomfortable, so she said, "Let me turn on the air conditioner, you are so easy to get sick."

Chen Jue insisted that there is no need: "You know I hardly get sick."

Of course Song Ke knew that he was always in good health, and his hands and feet were always warm in winter.At night when the two of them huddled under the quilt, he would hug Song Ke's hands tightly, and then complained in a low voice: "Why are your hands like ice bumps again? I'll go to the property tomorrow and ask them to come and see us again." The radiator at home." Song Ke said: "Don't make things difficult for the property management, it is amazing that such an old house has a radiator, do you still expect it to work?"

Now Song Ke can only say: "No matter how healthy people are, they will get sick."

Chen Jue nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I've been paying attention. If you get better someday, I won't have any illnesses."

In fact, he never cared about his body.He raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and the unhealed wound on his sideburns was reddened by the rain, and he was already inflamed.But he didn't care, he just pushed the box towards Song Ke's knee.

"It's for you."

Song Ke forced a smile: "You even gave me a gift, so polite."

Chen Jue also wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth didn't seem to be right, and he still looked tense and stiff.He said: "You can take a look at it if you want, don't just throw it away."

Song Ke wanted to end the conversation quickly so that he could go home, so she promised softly: "I will watch this time, but don't spend money next time, I don't want to owe you favors."

"I mean you watch it now," he said.

Song Ke could only take it cooperatively.The outer shell of the box is hard, but empty.Open the cover, and inside there is a mobile phone, the latest model.

"It should be wrapped more beautifully, but unfortunately there is not enough time." He lowered his head and wiped his face, "You don't mind."

Song Ke endured the pain in her heart: "Why bother."

The past has passed, and the cracks already exist, so what can be changed?

He is very stubborn.

"I want to hug you again," he said.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he stretched out his arms and hugged Song Ke into his arms.His embrace was cold and damp, neck to neck, and his upper and lower teeth could be heard chattering slightly.

"I've been recording for several days, and I haven't finished recording. I know it's too late. You have to hide in a place where you can't see me. It's okay, I accept it, and I won't harass you again."

He was very strong, and Song Ke was so hugged that he couldn't breathe, so she had to struggle hard, and persuaded him not to be stupid in a hoarse voice: "Don't try to make up for me like this, I don't need it, even if you fix the program, I won't Will thank you for that, because I don't need it anymore, do you understand?"

Chen Jue is still holding tight, as if this is the last way, and letting go is a cliff.He said: "I understand, Song Ke, I understand that it is impossible for me to get you back. I just hope that you can still think of some happy things when you think of me, even if we never meet again from now on. You can still hear my voice with this mobile phone, and you will still be willing to dream about those memories from the past."

The cold wind blew in through the crack of the window, making his voice muffled and low.Song Ke had never seen his eyes so red before. Even when they broke up back then, it was because he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to let go.But now there is no reluctance in his eyes, he is willing, but he is reluctant.He said: "I just want a corner of your heart, you can never see me again, as long as you can still think of me occasionally, the name Chen Jue is enough."

Song Ke was hugged by him, and could hardly bear to listen any longer, and pushed him away with all her strength: "Go back, Chen Jue, sleep well, don't think about those things in the past, it's meaningless."

Chen Jue said, "I know." His voice was full of uncontrollable sadness.

He is stronger than Song Ke, but Song Ke wanted to return the phone to him but couldn't. Finally, she had to get up and walk to the bedroom in a hurry. She didn't kick the door shut until she entered the room, leaning against the door and panting heavily. .

I was very confused in my heart, and I didn't feel sad, just a feeling that I couldn't get up or down.Xiao Jiu was spinning around her legs, but Song Ke never bent down to hug it.He listened quietly to the movement outside, the sound of the rain was much quieter than before, but the footsteps were still unclear.

It wasn't until Chen Jue came to knock on the door that he was shocked silently.

Chen Jue said: "Song Ke, I will see you off on the day you leave. I have a car, and besides, you are a patient, and patients cannot carry heavy things."

Song Ke didn't want to keep pestering her any longer, so she agreed, "Then trouble you."

After a long time of silence outside the door, Chen Jue's tone became more relaxed, but it was a pity that he knew it was a forced act.

He said: "It's all trivial things, I didn't know you were gone, where can I find you?"
