The world map and the only you

Deep winter is here, and after a snowfall, the temperature in Beijing dropped again.In three or nine days, I stood so majesticly by the river, the river flowing slowly around the city did not dare to move, the sharp and chilling wind kept blowing, I have not spent the winter in Beijing for too long, and often I wonder if I can survive this climate if I don't buy a car.Commuting, working overtime, meeting, and eating every day, a single event is constantly circulating in the gray sky of winter, and it is inevitable to feel boring.

If it weren't for the existence of "pursuing Tong Yixin", sometimes Yan Xuan really couldn't figure out where the happiness in life came from.He felt like a donkey with an apple hanging in front of him, relying on this little thought to grind round and round.

Yan Xuan was stuck at the entrance of the Jingcheng Expressway, crowded among the people commuting in the outer suburbs, watching the brake lights one after another in front of him, and silently calculated:

What if the pre-tax annual salary of one hundred thousand dollars is included, how much is left after tax?If you really don't rely on your parents, which suburb do you have to buy a house in?Besides, how many years can this kind of work last?Getting a partner in a foreign firm is even more difficult. After two years, I still have to find another way out, or switch to litigation?But it may be easier to change careers abroad, he does not have a domestic lawyer's certificate...

Someone blew the horn loudly from behind, Yan Xuan stepped on the accelerator and moved forward two meters.The entrance to the expressway is right in front of you, but you can't get to Wangshan.

He often thinks, where does the happiness in life come from?Career, status, money, or love, family, friendship?

A Harvard scholar conducted a study and concluded that the greatest sense of happiness comes from a harmonious and intimate relationship.But if this is the case, there is a saying that poor and lowly couples are sad about everything.

The most paradoxical thing is that in today's society, a lot of money is needed to avoid "everything is sad". In order to make money, there is no time to maintain a harmonious and intimate relationship.

If not, how did his "apple" leave him in the first place?Before he really sorted everything out, Yan Xuan didn't want to say the word "combination" easily, and he needed to be extra cautious when dealing with certain people and things.

"Are you listening to what I'm talking to you?" Mama Yan suddenly spoke while sitting in the co-pilot.Yan Xuan's trip this time is to send his mother back to Shunyi, and have a meal with his family by the way.

"Ah? What?" Yan Xuan admitted that he was distracted.

Yan's mother repeated silently: "I just asked you, when will your company be on holiday, and we will go to Hainan together for the Chinese New Year this year."

Yan Xuan tapped the keyboard and said, "We have a holiday on the 24th, and we will stick to it until the last day of the year."

"We're leaving on the 20th, why don't you take two days off? If not, then your dad and I will go first, and you can come to us later." Yan's mother suggested.

Thinking of the overwhelming news about "Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia" these days, Yan Xuan always felt that this was not a particularly good idea.

He disapproved and said, "Are you going to run around lately? Have you seen the news about the pneumonia? The flow of people during the Spring Festival..."

"Where is it so serious, it is said that there is no human-to-human transmission..." Yan's mother muttered, "I have already booked the ticket anyway, and rented a small villa, and your grandpa and the others will go too."

Yan Xuan couldn't say anything, he could only agree with his mother's opinion.But he really didn't want to go because of selfishness, especially since Tong Yixin would definitely not go home for the Chinese New Year, and he had to fly. He discussed and said, "Look, at this time, I'm sure I won't be able to buy a ticket, right?"

Yan's mother didn't care at all, and waved her hand: "You don't have to worry about it, ticketing, that's what your Aunt Wenyu does."

Yan Xuan's excuses were useless, so he had to tell the truth: "The main reason is...Tong Yixin will definitely not be able to go home for the New Year..."

Yan's mother rolled her eyelids, put her arms around her chest, looked him up and down, and said, "It's not suitable for you, how long has it been since you celebrated the New Year with us?"

Yan Xuan also felt that it was really inappropriate to "emphasize sex over mother" like this, but he couldn't bear to think that Tong Yixin was alone in Beijing on his [-]th year.Tong Yixin's father passed away when he was very young, and his mother remarried to Hubei and gave birth to a younger brother. He has always grown up with his grandmother, and has a normal relationship with his stepfather.

"I'll go to Hainan in the second day of junior high school, okay?" Yan Xuan discussed.

Yan's mother was noncommittal, feeling a kind of uncontrollable disappointment in her heart.

Mr. Yan still felt uneasy, and couldn't help but said again: "Otherwise, don't go, the number of cases, to put it bluntly, Hubei is still holding a National People's Congress meeting, so it may not be true."

Yan's mother thought he was alarmist: "It's so serious, you don't need to say, the country will not let you go."

People only look for what they believe, so Yan Xuan had no choice but to give up persuasion completely.

In the past few days, his persuasion has repeatedly failed, and the same with Tong Yixin. Two days ago, as the number of cases increased a little, he always wanted to persuade Tong Yixin to wear a mask when flying.

Tong Yixin, on the other hand, shook his head while adjusting his uniform and tie, and said, "How is this possible? Some people have made suggestions, but the company doesn't allow it."

"Your company is really..." Yan Xuan sighed.

"It's all like this. Who do you think is wearing a mask now?" Tong Yixin turned his head and said to Yan Xuan: "My mother told me that Wuhan is actually doing well now, and it is not much different from normal times. It is normal to go to work and buy things. Those who I The popular science public account that followed also said that there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission.”

Yan Xuan nestled on the sofa, stroking Xiaoguai's hair: "You'd better advise Auntie to be careful and wear a mask when going out. It's good for us to prevent problems before they happen."

Tong Yixin complied, and the company sent a car to pick up the evening flight. Before leaving, Tong Yixin was forcibly hugged by Yan Xuan, and he gave him careful instructions for a long time.

Who knows, Tong Yixin's international flight hadn't come back yet, and when Yan's mother and the others had just landed in Hainan, CCTV News released a news: [Zhong Nanshan: According to the current data, the new type of coronavirus pneumonia is definitely transmitted from person to person. 】

In an instant, the news began to be bombarded on Weibo, WeChat groups and circles of friends. The Baibuting Wanjiayan in Wuhan was repeatedly scolded, and conspiracy theories were all set off at once.

"Mom and Dad, don't go out if you can't go out. Who knows if there are people from Wuhan around?" Yan Xuan hurriedly called and urged, "Go to the pharmacy and buy some masks for preparation."

Yan Xuan contacted Tong Yixin again, but China Airlines' attitude was very obvious. No news was received, and they just refused to allow employees to wear masks.

"It won't be that serious." "It's definitely not like SARS." "The number of cases is okay." Everyone has various guesses.

On January 23, Tong Yixin landed in Beijing and saw the news on his mobile phone that Wuhan was locked down.

He looked into the cabin, wondering how many of these hundreds of people were passengers from Wuhan.
