thousand cups

It was around four o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Yandang Mountain.

Obviously, it is very impolite to contact the mobile phone number Jiang Mo left behind at this time, he must still be resting.Shen Chaowen hesitated for a while between finding a place to sleep in a room and sleeping in the car.

Drowsiness struck, he finally chose the former, and driving made him a little dizzy.

I didn't sleep very well that night, and I woke up after a dream, and my head still hurts.After washing and tidying up at noon, he went downstairs to the hotel to buy a piece of bread, and dialed the number while eating.

The voice on the other side of the phone sounded like a middle-aged man. After asking, they learned that they were in a small restaurant near the scenic spot.

The place was hard to find, and Shen Chaowen drove around for a long time before he found it.A small shop full of fireworks looks like a cheap and affordable home-cooked restaurant. Shen Chaowen walked in in a suit and leather shoes, which attracted the attention of many people.He looked up and looked around, and saw the person he was looking for sitting on a small table against the wall of the restaurant.Jiang Mo was sitting there wearing the gray shirt that Shen Chaowen bought for him last year, listening to what the old man opposite was saying, holding in his right hand... probably a glass of wine.

Shen Chaowen was at a loss for words for a while, feeling Jiang Mo's astonishing concentration and miraculous communication skills in his heart, he couldn't go home after losing his things, and he was still in the mood to sit there and drink with others.

Jiang Mo can't be regarded as a handsome guy who is particularly eye-catching at first glance. His facial features are just good-looking, but his temperament is too different, like a wine fairy.

Shen Chaowen walked over without saying a word.

Jiang Mo found him, raised his eyebrows after reacting for a while, looked at his face for two seconds, then at his white shirt with a button missing for two seconds, pointed to the chair, and said, "Sit."

Shen Chaowen glanced at the glass of wine in his hand, and asked him with his eyes: What are you doing?

Jiang Mo also chose to bounce back with his usual trick, smiled sincerely at him, and replied with his eyes: as you can see.

After the eye contact ended, Jiang Mo patted him on the shoulder and explained to the person opposite with a smile: "Brother Sun, my younger brother is here. Chao Wen, this is the police comrade who took me in."

Brother Sun looked at the two of them with a smile, "Don't tell me, I think you two really look alike, like two brothers."

oh.Shen Chaowen answered him in his heart, brother, this is called husband and wife.

After saying hello, they picked up the previous topic and continued their chat.

Shen Chaowen folded his hands and listened for a while. What Brother Sun was talking about was a homicide case in their town that had not been solved for many years. It was indeed the kind of story that Jiang Mo would be interested in.Shen Chaowen didn't hear the antecedent, and he felt boring in the middle of listening, so he stood up and went to the front desk to pay the money, and went to the convenience store next door to buy a pack of cigarettes.

When I came back, I saw Brother Sun saying goodbye to Jiang Mo.He walked over and handed the cigarette to Brother Sun, saying that he had troubled Brother Sun for the past two days.After a few words of pushback, Brother Sun took the things away.

Before leaving, Brother Sun gave Jiang Mo a hug, and said with a smile that there will be a date later.Jiang Mo was also very reluctant, and hugged the other party's shoulders tightly, saying thank you Sun Ge, I am very lucky to meet you.

Shen Chaowen has always been very sensitive to the men and women around Jiang Mo, even though he knew it was nothing, but their actions still made Shen Chaowen's eyelids twitch.

After saying goodbye to Brother Sun, the two of them walked towards the parking place without saying a word, neither of them opening their mouths first.

Jiang Mo lost his luggage, leaving only a cowhide notebook with a pencil in it. He just held it and walked slowly beside Shen Chaowen.

The last time we saw each other was already a month ago. At that time, the two of them separated after a big fight. The previous conflict was still unresolved. It was a bit unnatural to meet so suddenly.

It took Jiang Mo a long time to ask him: "Did you come here to delay your business?"

Shen Chaowen said, "No."

"asked for leave?"

"I've invited you today, and I'm going to see a client tomorrow morning."

Paused.

"Only one day, Comrade Policeman has become your best friend?"

"We can chat."

He can chat with anyone if he wants to.

He said he was already in the car.Jiang Mo sat in the co-pilot, spread out the notebook on his lap, pinched the pencil and twirled it skillfully on his knuckles, and began to stare at the paper and think.

Shen Chaowen started the car and asked him, "Go back to Shanghai?"

Jiang Mo lowered his head and began to draw something, and replied, "Anything is fine."

After Shen Chaowen started the car and drove for a while, he calmly asked after brewing a good mood:

"Did you come out this time to be angry with me?"

Jiang Mo didn't speak, still lowered his head to write and draw in the notebook, and after a long time he said slowly: "No."

Shen Chaowen said slowly: "You haven't been home for a month, and you haven't contacted me, but in the past you would report me safe once a week, and it's been too long this time."

Jiang Mo answered him while drawing: "You said before you left that we need to calm down."

as you wish.

"I'm calm enough, how about you?"

Jiang Mo still lowered his head to draw something: "You drive well."

"We'll never solve the problem with you like this."

"I can't speak to a lawyer, I choose to shut up."

Shen Chaowen tried his best to use a gentle tone: "I just want to communicate with you well. You were at fault for what happened that day, and I was also at fault. Shall we go over?"

Be quiet for a while.

Jiang Mo turned his head to look at him, "Then can you guarantee that you won't lose your temper inexplicably when you see me and my friends say goodbye after drinking?"

baffling?

"You guys hugged at the door for a long time." Shen Chaowen remained calm, "You talked and laughed, she kissed your face, isn't it too much?"

"Let me reiterate that Emma is my good friend in France and she also acted in my graduation play. She came to China and we met, had dinner, drank, and kissed each other when we parted. This is normal communication." Jiang Mo said, "Isn't it too impolite for you to rush over and drag me away without saying a word?"

Shen Chaowen said calmly: "It was two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mo, think about it differently, if I was eating and drinking with a very beautiful woman and you saw me hugging and kissing at the intersection in the middle of the night, how would you feel?"

"I have nothing to say."

"I'm nervous, are you wrong?"

"Shen Chaowen, you don't trust me." Jiang Mo turned to look at him, "Is the trust between us so low? The lack of trust in others may come from your lack of trust in yourself, do you understand?"

"This has nothing to do with the sense of trust." Shen Chaowen categorically denied, "I mind, so I'm angry because you have no sense of proportion."

"You are angry, can't you say it? Why don't you say it? Why do you just clean up my table the next day?"

"too messy."

Jiang Mo sneered: "As I said, I like it to be messy. You have your sense of order, and I have mine. You clean up my table and I mess up your table. It's as bad in my heart. Things, I searched for things all morning after you took them away! Also, did you pour out my bottle of Yamazaki, which was half drunk?"

Who dumped his Yamazaki, put it in the cabinet, and the bottle cap was open and placed in a place where cats could knock it over, can you not take it away... He couldn't find who to blame.

but.

"Why do you care so much about that bottle of wine?" Shen Chaowen asked him, "Because it was given by that confidante Luna?"

"No matter who sent it, is there something wrong with the wine? That bottle of wine is very expensive. Why did you waste it?"

"Is the wine right?" Shen Chaowen asked him back, "Which of our conflicts was not intensified when you were drunk?"

Jiang Mo hit the nail on the head and said, "Then do you think conflicts don't exist without alcohol?"

Of course not, they have many contradictions.

It was quiet for a long time this time.

I didn't want to be noisy at first, why is it like this again.Jiang Mo rubbed his hair irritably: "Why do we always quarrel over trivial matters like this, wasting our lives?"

Shen Chaowen shook his head: "Trivia is life itself. The two of us live together and have to go through this. You can't live a metaphysical life in your imagination all the time."

"I can." Jiang Mo immediately retorted, "As long as you leave me alone."

"Whether you can do it or not, whether you have someone to pick you up now?"

Jiang Mo closed the book with a snap: "Stop the car."

Shen Chaowen didn't speak, and didn't stop.He was also a little angry.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Mo started to unbuckle his seat belt with a cold face, and tried to open the door.The car was still driving, Shen Chaowen was taken aback and slammed on the brakes in a panic, he knew that this man could do anything with his head, and Jiang Mo would really jump out of the car.

Before the car stopped, Jiang Mo got up and got out of the car, and slammed the door loudly.

After staring at his back for two seconds, Shen Chaowen patted the steering wheel angrily, and ran down to chase him.

He ran two steps forward, Jiang Mo heard him closing the car door, and yelled impatiently: "Get out, go back by yourself, don't bother me."

The tone is not fierce, as if asking you to coax.

Shen Chaowen looked at Jiang Mo's thin shoulder blades in the sun, and suddenly felt sad. He felt that Jiang Mo had forgotten that today was his birthday.

The point is not the birthday.The point is, why they disagree now is a dispute.

Does running-in have to go through these?

"Jiang Mo." He called out to the other party.

It didn't make any sense, it was going faster and faster.

"Jiang Mo!"

Shen Chaowen looked at his back as he walked away slowly, and called out to him a little weakly: "—Brother."

Jiang Mo paused.

But he just paused, and quickly moved on.He hung his shoulders and stubbornly did not look back.
