time slow

At the age of reading, I always secretly read novels, and occasionally read masterpieces.

I always admire the yearning love in the story, or it is like a cloud and thunder that shakes the sky, or like a long stream of clear tea, a couple from generation to generation.

Jing Chen had never seen such emotion.

"Don't be like me, and don't be like your mother."

"Jing Chen, you want to go to a big city and broaden your horizons."

"Marriage and love are not necessities of man."

"You must go out, don't come back...don't come back."

In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jing Chen was hesitating while holding a pen in his thin hand, and Jing Zhen's instructions to her suddenly appeared in his mind before signing.

Other people's marriages may begin with love, with suitability, or both.However, her marriage has nothing to do with these things. Jing Chen thinks that she is just doing others a favor and solving her own troubles.

"Let's get married, this is the draft of the agreement, you can read it first." Yan Chunxi said that day.

When Jing Chen went back to school to do her graduation project, she received an invitation from her. She took the agreement and flipped through a few pages, none of which was harmful to her.

"Why me?" was all she asked back.

There are many people who have better conditions and are more suitable than her.

Yan Chunxi turned the cup of lemon tea slightly, and the water droplets on the cup's wall wet her palm.

"You... are different from others."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just... different." Yan Chunxi didn't look at her. Logically speaking, as a senior sister, she didn't need to be nervous when negotiating this deal.

But she...has an impure motive.

"Then let's pick a time, sister."

While thinking about it, she has already signed her name, and from now on, she will be legally tied to another person.

Beside Yan Chunxi, her long eyelashes drooped, she turned her head slightly, and saw Jing Chen's signed name.It is obviously the most common pen, and the words written in her hand will be so beautiful, vigorous and powerful, as if engraved on the tip of her heart.

However, he had never held this beautiful and strong hand.

Yan Chunxi pursed her lips with a smile, trying to say something.But she gradually tightened her eyes, and her eyes became bitter. She straightened her body, pulled back the fine hair on her temples, and put the pen back to its original position.

I don't know what a good day it is today, there are many people who come to get married.Jing Chen lowered her head, avoiding all kinds of meaningful glances from others.Two beautiful women sitting together are quite eye-catching.

People come in and go out together, Yan Chunxi can't feel the joy of spending the rest of his life together.She gently squeezed her fingertips, it was so cool.

While waiting for the staff to print the certificate, Jing Chen took out his phone from his jeans pocket to check the time.Women's jeans are mostly tight fitting, and the pockets are just for decoration and serve no other purpose.She doesn't like tight-fitting trousers very much, and usually wears loose ones with pockets, which can barely fit half of her mobile phone.

Yan Chunxi put her eyes on her. This person has sharp eyes and sharp facial features. She always looks at people coldly, but in fact she didn't intend to do so. Yan Chunxi recalled the scene of taking pictures just now, and her soft red lips couldn't help but Go up a little bit.

"Madam, why don't you... just smile?" The staff poked their heads out from behind the computer to persuade.

Jing Chen didn't hear clearly, raised her eyes to look at her, and scared her back...

When they came out, the staff complained: "The two young ladies just now were so beautiful. I don't know if they are celebrities, but one of them is a bit fierce...the eyes are too fierce."

Taking the small red notebook, Jing Chen put it in the left trouser pocket without even looking at it, she took a few steps outside, turned around, looked at the person behind her, and said in a calm tone, "Sister, why don't you go? "

There was a slight smile on the cherry-colored lips of the man, and his thumb brushed the three words at the bottom of the certificate.In Jing Chen's eyes, Yan Chunxi seemed to be like this all the time.Cool and indifferent, always gentle and quiet, it seems that no one or anything can cause waves in her heart.

Yan Chunxi's hand holding the certificate was still trembling imperceptibly. Hearing the sound, she stepped forward and stood side by side with her, "Let's go."

The voice was cold, as usual, like a cold spring made of snowflakes on the treetops in the mountains, brewing sweet tea, flowing in Jing Chen's heart.

At the door, the girls who had just received their documents couldn't help kissing each other, and the belated embarrassment made the faces of the happy people flush.

The excessive sense of alienation between Jing Chen and Yan Chunxi seems incompatible with these people.

After going out, the sun was just right outside, and the warm golden light sprinkled on Yan Chunxi's fine hair, making her softer.Jing Chen beside him folded his arms, his eagle eyes ignored the people coming and going below, and only focused on the road in front of him.

Jing Chen's eagle eyes, she would occasionally be afraid.Afraid that she would find out... that he really liked her.

After getting in the car, Yan Chunxi turned on the air conditioner, a cool and fruity scent filled her body, and Jing Chen's eyebrows softened a lot.She closed her narrow eyes, leaned her neck back, and rested against the co-pilot.

There was nothing else in the car except the sound of the machine running, Yan Chunxi felt so stupid that she couldn't speak when facing Jing Chen.She wanted to ask her how she was doing recently and whether her living environment was good, but who knew that the moment she opened her mouth, it turned into: "When do you plan to move here?"

"Sunday, I've been too busy lately." Jing Chen leaned against the co-pilot, her head tilted back, she turned around with great difficulty, and the superior immediately threw her to a project team.A group of people are very busy every day, and she still has a lot to learn, and she is afraid that she will lose her job if she doesn't do well.

She is used to being poor, so she can't lose such a good job.

The car drove smoothly into the parking space outside the office building. Yan Chunxi leaned over to help the resting person unbuckle her seat belt, but she was slightly startled when she touched her slender and strong hand.

"Thank you senior, I'm leaving first." Jing Chen naturally unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, turned his head to meet her eyes, turned and left in a second, two seconds without any extra words.

"goodbye……"

She hates the endless rhetoric that some adults are polite, and because of this, she and her mother always quarrel.

"You can't be more polite and say a few more words to others."

"Didn't I say thank you, what else can I say?"

"I really don't know what's the use of your mouth."

Heh, at least her words of thanks are sincere, unlike them, they are hypocritical and sincere.

Yan Chunxi watched Jing Chen enter the company, but she watched for a while when no one was there.Finally, he raised the car window, opened the marriage certificate, caressed the photo, and sighed softly.

After a while, she put away her documents and prepared to go back to school. Yan Chunxi patted her heart and cheered herself up: The road to chasing my wife is long, she is already your wife!

After Jing Chen came back, she was busy until midnight and didn't eat any lunch or dinner.She bought a bucket of instant noodles and came back, but her stomach ached from hunger, so she lay on the bed directly, not even wanting to boil water.

Forget it, let's eat more breakfast for a few more hours of hunger.

She lay there motionless, the corners of her mouth twitched in self-mocking, her head buried in the pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "Why didn't I die?"

After a while, Jing Chen didn't fall asleep, she stretched her hand to her neck, touched the pendant, but didn't open it.

Inside the pendant is the only family photo she has left. The family of four has only taken a photo this time, and there is no electronic version yet.

"I am married."

I don't know who to say this sentence to, it seems to be said to myself, and it seems to let someone in the distance know.

Jing Chen took out the marriage certificate that was still in his trouser pocket, opened it, and saw the photo of himself and Yan Chunxi, his eyes focused on the small mole on the end of Yan Chunxi's eyebrow.The man raised his red lips slightly, as if there was starlight reflected in his watery eyes, not much changed from when we first met.

Jing Chen lightly flicked two fingers on the group photo, whispered something to her thin lips, then closed them and put them away.

Jing Chen's luggage is very simple, just a few sets of regular clothes and a few pairs of sneakers.The rest of Yan Chunxi was ready, she just carried the suitcase and checked in.

This house was rented by Yan Chunxi, and it was more than enough for two people to live in.Because of her marriage, the family bought another property for her, which has just been renovated and will not be able to move there until some time later.

Yan Chunxi originally wanted to help Jing Chen clean up the room in the afternoon, and maybe have a meal together in the evening, so she bought a lot of ingredients.

There's not much to do other than hang the clothes in the closet.Just as Yan Chunxi wanted to ask her what she likes to eat, Jing Chen answered the phone call from her colleague, and she had already made an appointment for the evening meal.

After Jing Chen left, Yan Chunxi looked at the extra pair of slippers at the door and comforted herself: I have seen her frequently recently, take your time, don't rush.

By herself, Yan Chunxi didn't cook dinner, but chose to nest in the living room to write a thesis, and eat whatever she wanted when she was hungry.

There are several books on the coffee table, and the A4 paper next to the computer is full of formulas and symbols. Yan Chunxi writes circles and draws on the paper, or deletes and subtracts.

"If E is a closed set, then the closure of E is equal to E; when the closed set E has no isolated points, then E is..."

She read the contents of the book aloud, and suddenly circled the word "isolation".

Jing Chen is an isolated existence in this society. Although she is in the society, she is also alienated from the world. Strictly speaking, she is also.

She didn't seem to care about anyone or anything, and no one came into her heart or around her.

Yan Chunxi began to lose his mind, and he didn't notice the computer's battery indicator.
