blowing clouds

When the sun in the air no longer burns the face, it means that the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the temporary work of Chen Xiyang and Xu Donghai will also end.

Not surprisingly, a group of editors headed by Mr. Tang made positive comments on the two young people, and sincerely invited them to officially join the job next summer with their graduation certificates.Ding Zhaoyan was also there on the day we sent them away. There is no need to talk about his parting words with Xu Donghai. The rare thing is that he raised his eyebrows at Chen Xiyang. Chen Xiyang always felt that there was some unspeakable deep meaning hidden in his smile. .

Chen Xiyang came to the last year of university, and Lin Ji also officially became a senior high school student. Therefore, although the two of them felt less depressed facing each other after the last walk in the rain, their contact time in the second half of the year was not. Many, one is busy finishing the university and planning for the future, and the other is immersed in the sea of ​​questions all day long, like two straight grass stretching out to the sun with their necks stretched out, but are the roots buried under the soil connected together? , no one can know.

The business of her family's shop is not always booming, but after it stabilizes, she has a regular source of customers and a good reputation, so it is no problem to carry the family expenses, and she is even expected to work with her in-laws before the agreed date of the contract money.

But the old Xu's family is definitely not in a hurry to pay them back the money. After the publishing house opened his eyes, Xu Donghai's daily topics were related to literature, and he began to compare writing with Chen Xiyang. Chen Xiyang also took this as a temper for himself. In this state of mind, time always seems to be jumping forward.

"Just wait and see. This year's Chinese New Year is definitely the busiest ever. Millennium night, how many people do you think can experience the transformation of the millennium? We will really choose the time to be born."

When Xu Donghai babbled these words, Chen Xiyang was turning his mind full of worries into a book field under his pen. Hearing the words, he paused, as if he had just noticed that he had already put on a thick leather jacket.

"Doesn't it take a few months?" Chen Xiyang said seemingly calmly.

"It's still far away from the Chinese New Year, but the Gregorian year is coming soon. This kind of special day, the solar year is definitely more lively than the lunar year." Xu Donghai leaned on his chair and sighed, as if thinking of the jubilation in the empty alley.

Because his birthday is in the lunar year, Chen Xiyang really has no feelings for December 31st on the Gregorian calendar, but Xu Donghai's words left a mark on his heart at this time, probably because of that sentence, personal experience Millennium shift.

It is naturally rare to have this kind of experience, and more importantly, who will accompany me to experience it.

Xu Donghai thought wildly for a long time, and laughed like a fool: "Hey, when the time comes, you, Aji, and godfather and mother-in-law come to my house, let's have fun!"

What he got was Chen Xiyang's cold stare: "Going to your house? I will be with you when I cross the millennium. Are you my wife?"

Xu Donghai was speechless, paused and said, "Do you have a wife?"

Chen Xiyang snorted coldly, but on the topic of "daughter-in-law", he seemed to be a prophecy. When he returned home on another weekend, he seemed to be catching up with Jiangshuang. Chen Xiyang had just walked into the house quickly before he had time to feel the atmosphere Lu Yan, who was warm and cutting vegetables, told him one thing with joy.

The sound of boiling water came from the kitchen. Although Lin Ji, who was sitting in the living room doing his homework, didn't look up, he didn't write for a long time, obviously waiting for his answer.

Chen Xiyang sat down slowly while pinching his cold fingers: "It's too early, we shouldn't be in such a hurry."

"It's not too early, you will graduate in half a year, and your job is almost settled. Isn't the next step a lifelong event?" Lu Yan said with a smile, "That girl is not bad, she is my colleague's niece. I met her before. But, good-looking and hard-working, you can meet me in two days, ah."

Regarding the fact that he was forced to go on a blind date before graduating from university, Chen Xiyang digested it for a long time but couldn't absorb it: "It's gone, who likes blind dates at a young age, girls must also dislike being an elder's self-assessment, see See you in vain."

"You child, how can you be sure if you haven't seen him?" Lu Yan turned her head and glared at Chen Xiyang, not noticing that her address to her son was contradictory to her behavior, "You are also in your twenties, it's time to look for it. That colleague of mine knows everything, and talks down-to-earth."

Chen Xiyang remained silent, and after a while Lu Yan poked her head out from the kitchen door: "Go and see, what are you afraid of, can other girls still eat you?"

"I'm not free," Chen Xiyang scratched his hair irritably, "I have to go to class on weekdays, and on weekends... Dong Hai and I are going to club activities. It's almost New Year's Eve and we have a lot of things to do, so we really don't have time."

Lu Yan opened her mouth but was speechless, but she suddenly had an idea: "Then you have the New Year's Day holiday on New Year's Eve, so you have time? Let's meet on that day. It can be done! Mom has arranged for you!"

Lin Ji lowered his head and looked at the roll of paper, without writing a word for a long time. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of his brother Teng standing up from the sofa: "Don't make arrangements, I don't want to see you, and it's not interesting to see you! I talked to Ah that day. Ji went to buy couplets and firecrackers to prepare for the New Year's Eve, but no outsiders were seen."

Lu Yan put down the spatula and walked out quickly, staring at Chen Xiyang with her lips tightly together, and after a long time of looking at each other speechlessly, she said coldly: "I don't see you!"

Then, Lu Yan went back to the bedroom and slammed the door, not planning to solve the problem of the two children's dinner.

Lin Ji raised his head slowly, but found that Chen Xiyang didn't look at him, but his eyes were lost, like a sack that was suddenly emptied, and he fell back on the sofa weakly.

The sound of boiling water getting louder and louder, Lin Ji walked into the kitchen and blocked the coal stove, the surrounding air gradually became quieter.He raised his head, and it was pitch black outside the window in front of him. If he raised his eyes a little more, he could see the bright lights reflected on the glass, as well as Chen Xiyang's slumped sitting posture.

He really wanted to go out and hug his brother, but he only dared to imagine that scene.

It's not that Lin Ji doesn't understand anything, he knows exactly what his brother is holding back, and he also knows why he doesn't want to go on a blind date, but all he can do is endure silently with him, and he can't even hold the other's hand and give him a hint. comfort.

The next day, because of Chen Li's presence, the atmosphere at home was a little more relaxed, and it was no longer so tense. Chen Li kept persuading his cold-faced wife who was cooking: "Xiyang is right, how old is he, and he is so anxious to meet you." What a dear. Besides, how good our son is, he wants to have good looks, talent and talent, but I’m afraid no one wants him, why are you in a hurry? "

Lu Yan pouted and fought back: "You just get used to him, you two never let me worry, I don't care when I see him, where is he going to find a wife!"

Chen Li turned his head and winked at Chen Xiyang. Chen Xiyang felt that he should smile, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't raise the corners of his mouth. Lin Ji silently took a panoramic view of this scene, and the test papers and homework in front of him generally turned into heavenly scriptures.

But soon, the approach of the Millennium Eve dilutes the temporary smell of gunfire in this family. A smile bloomed on Lu Yan's face again, and she called the two children on vacation early in the morning to buy firecrackers. Chen Xiyang didn't ask her to hand them over. money, saying that he was saving his internship salary.

Both he and Lin Ji were wearing new clothes, and Chen Li looked at them happily: "Has Ah Ji grown a little taller? But he is still a little bit different from your brother. From behind, he really looks like a real brother."

Lin Ji smiled silently, while Chen Xiyang was expressionless. After putting on his shoes, he opened the door and closed the door before the cold air in the corridor flooded in.

People always like to define things. Even the date itself is meaningless to the natural world. The night from [-] to [-] is not much different from the last time the sun set, but apart from the use of tools One point, the biggest difference between humans and other creatures lies in these meaningless benchmarks.

Ceremony, meaning, measure of life, these factors make a fundamental difference between a person and a mass of flesh and blood, or this can also explain why the streets are overcrowded at this time.

Chen Li closed the shop for rest today, and seemed to have missed the opportunity to make a lot of money, but in his perception, the significance of spending New Year's Eve with his family is obviously greater than a few banknotes.

Along the way, all the stalls that still had goods were blocked by a solid flow of people. Only the places that were temporarily evacuated could see the anxious faces of the stall owners calling to urge the goods through the less dense crowd.

Chen Xiyang originally wanted to line up, or wait for the number of people to go down before buying, but it turned out that he wanted to go blind. After observing for a while, he knew that he could not wait any longer, and looked back at Lin Ji. There was no need to say anything, the two brothers One after the other squeezed into the crowd in front of them.

The moment he just squeezed in, Chen Xiyang felt as if he was going to suffocate. Messy smells poured into his nostrils from all directions, and his chest seemed to be crushed by the people around him, but fortunately, it was just an illusion. Although he was stuffy, But breathing is still barely successful.

Chen Xiyang slowly squeezed in along the crowd, and suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes. He looked back warily, and saw that it was Lin Ji who was pulling his pockets.

"I'm afraid some thieves will steal my pocket, so I'll keep an eye on it for you."

The surroundings were full of noise, and Lin Ji didn't deliberately increase his voice, but the strange thing was that Chen Xiyang heard every word he said clearly.

To explain it with some literary reasons, that is, when facing Lin Ji, the whole world was eclipsed and fell into silence.

Although Chen Xiyang moved his eyes away, he could feel Lin Ji's hand more clearly, as well as his whole body posture.

This is a wonderful experience, as if my viewing angle has become 360 ​​degrees, but the extra angle does not seem to be original, and the function is not complete, only Lin Ji can be seen.So when Lin Ji suddenly pressed closer to his body, Chen Xiyang didn't feel any surprise at the first time.

People are pushing each other, people are crowding everywhere, but no two people are closer than they are. Any time in the world, they maintain this posture would cause panic, but not now.

Lin Ji didn't realize what he had done until he approached, but he didn't regret it.He thought that Chen Xiyang would be angry, but the other party was not, even this kind of silence did not mean a negative response, Lin Ji seemed to hear the heartbeats of him and his brother.

When Chen Xiyang raised his head slowly, he realized that Lin Ji's head was pressed against his shoulder, but he still didn't get angry, but quietly looked at the lead-colored sky. A piece of harmony.

There were rumors that [-] was the end of the world, so let the world collapse at this moment. Chen Xiyang felt that if his life ended at this moment, he would not have any regrets.

However, it seems that the end of the world is not going to come for the time being, and there are fewer and fewer lush heads in front of it, but Chen Xiyang discovered after squeezing in front of the booth, that this place is neither selling firecrackers nor writing couplets. , in front of him are the rich fried skewers and the sweaty smiling face of the stall owner.

The depression in his heart only stayed for a moment, Chen Xiyang fought back and pulled Lin Ji in front of him: "See what you want to eat."
