spring tide summer solstice

Leaning against the wall, Song Qingyao sipped the iced Americano in the cup, listened to the call waiting tone from the other end of the phone, and just finished his last sip when he heard the end.Throwing the empty cup into the trash can opposite, he turned and walked out of the coffee shop.

Back in the car, Ji Qin in the passenger seat handed him the phone screen: "Song Song, is this 4998 package good?"

Song Qingyao looked at the content she handed in front of her while fastening her seat belt. Before answering, Xiao Liu in the back seat reminded: "You should restrain yourself. You have already eaten Director Song's [-] yuan for the meal just now. Now come again .”

"What?" Ji Qin said dissatisfied, "Song Song said that he can order whatever he wants tonight, and he has money, so you don't have to feel sorry for him."

Xiao Liu wanted to say that you should restrain yourself, but Song Qingyao interrupted with a smile: "The 6998 below is better, choose that one, and I will transfer the money to you later."

"Okay!" Ji Qin smiled and leaned back in the chair to place an order, and asked when Song Qingyao turned the steering wheel and drove out, "When will Yang Tingwei arrive?"

Song Qingyao said, "I don't know, I probably haven't finished my work yet."

Putting down the phone, Ji Qin leaned into Song Qingyao's ear and whispered in a low voice: "You can't let him go lightly for a while, there is no one who is so careless about celebrating his birthday, I would have turned my back on him long ago."

Song Qingyao smiled and continued to drive while looking ahead.

Today is his 29th birthday, and Cory's colleagues who were not on duty at night came to celebrate for him.The seven of them drove two cars, first had an exquisite French meal in the private room of the Yunshang Restaurant in the Twin Towers, and now went to drink.

Song Qingyao was not very good at eating and drinking, so he left everything to Ji Qin, the most playful nurse in the department.Ji Qin did not disappoint everyone. The dinner was full of atmosphere regardless of the atmosphere. The box was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and red and white roses and balloons were everywhere.

When lighting the candles, Ji Qin also specifically reminded him that the age of 29 is an important turning point in his life, so he must make a wish.

After parking the car in the parking lot opposite the bar, Ji Qin and Xiao Liu went in to make arrangements first. Song Qingyao leaned against the car door and dialed the number on the pretext of smoking.

The phone on the other end still rang until the line was disconnected but no one answered, he frowned, remembering the hasty phone call this morning, Yang Tingwei didn't mention anything special to him, probably he really forgot his birthday.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Song Qingyao took out his cigarette and lighter, and walked in after smoking one.

The high-end bar that Ji Qin chose was recently opened. It belongs to a livehouse, and the decoration is more industrial style.When he heard the lead singer's slightly hoarse but recognizable singing voice, Song Qingyao stopped and looked at the young man in the middle of the stage.

It was a handsome lead singer, wearing stylish ripped jeans, sitting on a high stool with a microphone.The slender left leg is propped on the ground, and the laces of the Martin boots are loose, revealing a beautiful ankle.He was immersed in the melody with his eyes closed, unaffected by the cheers around the stage.

Looking at this face, Song Qingyao felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, when the phone rang, it was Ji Qin who called to ask him where he was.

He went up to the second floor along the side stairs, and Ji Qin and the others were in the big booth near the corner.Drinks and snacks were set up on the table, and several colleagues from another car also arrived. They gathered around him in the middle of the sofa and raised their wine glasses to celebrate him.

He had a poor capacity for alcohol, and he had excused himself not to drink during the meal just now, so he couldn't avoid it now, so he clinked glasses with his colleagues one by one with the cocktail that Ji Qin had ordered for him.

The lead singer performed the chorus part affectionately, and Song Qingyao glanced at it while drinking.The man opened his eyes at some point, the slender eye ends and the raised lips formed a casual smile, and let people see the dimple on his left cheek.

After drinking, a long memory appeared in Song Qingyao's mind.

——It turned out to be him.

The lead singer got up and took a red rose from a girl, put it in the breast pocket of his jacket, and sang to the girl: "If your asking doi love you this much, ido."

A few girls beside the stage burst into ear-piercing screams, loud enough to be heard clearly on the second floor.Ji Qin also stood up, looked downstairs and said, "This man is so handsome! He also sings well."

"Xiao Liu, let's go down and have a look!" Ji Qin pulled Xiao Liu straight to the stairs, and Director Chen of the emergency department, who was the oldest present, reminded them to slow down and not roll down just to see the handsome guy.

Everyone laughed, Song Qingyao also laughed, and soon the corners of his mouth were straightened again, and he leaned back on the sofa and continued to drink.

The medical staff in their emergency department usually have high-intensity work, and there are very few such relaxing gatherings. A few colleagues were chatting with each other at first, and they played with their mobile phones after a while. Only Director Chen was talking to Song Qingyao work thing.

After he was promoted to the deputy director of the emergency department a few years ago, Director Chen mentioned to him about taking interns and regular trainees.He is an overseas returnee student, and in the third year as an attending doctor, he got the qualification to be promoted to the deputy high school based on his strength. Compared with another deputy director of the emergency department who has been through the ages, Director Chen is more assured that he will take care of him.

"Principal Lin personally arranged for Gui Peisheng this time, so you should use more snacks." Mr. Chen reminded pointingly.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Song Qingyao replied, the alcohol he drank just now had an effect, and the movement of dice games at the next table was getting louder and louder. He had a headache from the noise and wanted to go to the bathroom.

When he went downstairs, he looked towards the direction of the stage. The young man who sang just now was gone, replaced by a girl in a rivet skirt singing Stefanie Sun's "Green Light".The atmosphere in the venue was more enthusiastic than before. Many people swayed to the melody, and the colorful neon spotlights also flashed with the rhythm.Song Qingyao walked through the crowd, and stopped when he turned into the corridor.

The light here was not as bright as in the arena, but it was enough for him to see two people leaning against the wall a few steps away.

The man with his back to him was wearing the Versace season coat he gave him last month, and the back waist was wrinkled by the woman in his arms.The woman was wearing heavy makeup, and she let the man bury her head in front of her chest with great enjoyment. If the music behind her was not too loud, Song Qingyao would have felt that she could hear the woman's coquettish voice.

There was a churning in his stomach, the snail meat he ate just now had a chemical reaction with the alcohol, he suddenly wanted to vomit, he leaned on the wall and was about to turn around when he heard Ji Qin's voice from behind: "Song Song, why are you here?" daze?"

Ji Qin yelled loudly, Song Qingyao didn't have time to block behind her, and heard her say in surprise: "Hey, Yang Tingwei?!"

The stomach was more uncomfortable than before. Song Qingyao didn't want to face the next thing, so he immediately raised his legs and walked out. Unfortunately, he was blocked by another person who came in after two steps.

It was a young man half a head taller than him, who helped him by the shoulder when he was about to hit him, and reminded him "be careful".Song Qingyao didn't even need to look at the other person's face, he recognized the lead singer just now just by his characteristic ripped clothes and nice voice.

He turned to the side, ignoring Yang Tingwei's cry until he was grabbed by his right wrist.

A slight tingling sensation came from the contact part. The sprain on his right hand two weeks ago has not fully healed. Yang Tingwei may have forgotten it, but he pulled it hard: "It's not what you see."

Turning around expressionlessly, Song Qingyao reminded: "My hands are not healed yet."

Yang Tingwei reeked of alcohol and was still panting heavily. He didn't know if he was anxious when he found out, or because he was fooling around with that woman.But Song Qingyao didn't want to know anymore, the scene he saw just now was enough for him to understand what was going wrong during this period of time.

Yang Tingwei let go of him: "I was in a hurry, didn't it hurt you?"

Song Qingyao wanted to ask back, "What do you think?" When he looked up, he saw Ji Qin and the young man looking at him together.

Not wanting to embarrass others again, this time he insisted on leaving no matter what Yang Tingwei said.It wasn't until he got back in the car that he remembered that he had been drinking, but Yang Tingwei had already chased him, so he drove out of the parking lot, turned a street, pulled over, and called a valet driver with his mobile phone.

When the surrogate driver came over, he leaned back on the headrest to calm down, but the scene just now kept reappearing in front of his eyes.

It's been four years, he and Yang Tingwei have been together for four years since they met, yet he doesn't know that Yang Tingwei still likes women?

But all this is not so difficult to understand, after all, there is more and more nothing to talk about between them.Especially after he was promoted to deputy high school last year, Yang Tingwei's mood has been not very good, and he transferred to the general foreign school two months ago.Since then, I have repeatedly told him that I am too busy to meet and eat, and of course, I have no time to do other things.

But judging from the way he looked just now, Yang Tingwei should not lack a bed partner.

With a snort in his heart, Song Qingyao found it ridiculous.The phone vibrated at this moment, and it was the WeChat voice sent by mother Ye He: "Xiao Yao, happy birthday, I can't make it to dinner with you this year, and when you come back next week, Mom will make it up for you."

Hearing his mother's gentle tone, Song Qingyao turned his head to look at the flashy night outside the window.

If Ye He hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he should go on a trip with Yang Tingwei at noon tomorrow.

He had been looking forward to this trip for half a year. From coordinating the time between the two of them to deciding on the destination and making strategies, he prepared it all by himself.Thinking about it now, Yang Tingwei never expressed his expectation for the trip, only he was in the heat.

Opening the Ctrip app, he refunded the two air tickets that he bought together. During the operation, Yang Tingwei called twice, but he refused to answer.

When the surrogate driver arrived, he turned his mobile phone to silent, and sent Director Chen a message that he was not feeling well and had to go back.After returning home, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he took a bottle of Budweiser from the refrigerator as water and poured it into the pillow.When he woke up again, the sky was already bright.

Before going to bed, he didn't draw the blackout curtains, and the sunlight poured down on the bedside through the thin white gauze, dazzlingly bright.He covered his eyelids for a moment, remembering what happened last night.

Lying on the bed for a while, he got up and went to the living room to pick up his phone, the battery was less than [-]%, there were eight missed calls from Yang Tingwei on the screen, Ji Qin also called, and there was Ji Qian's name.

Ji Qin's mouth has always been unable to hide secrets, so it's not surprising that Ji Gan would call.But early in the morning, he was really not in the mood to face his friend's concern, so he blocked Yang Tingwei's number, and after opening WeChat, he saw Yang Tingwei sent a few voice messages.

He didn't want to click on it, and after returning to the main interface of WeChat, he saw the text sent by Ji Qin: [Song Song, after you left last night, I asked that girl, you have to be mentally prepared...]

【The woman said that this is not the first time Yang Tingwei has come to this bar to play】

[If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask my brother to accompany you?Don't answer the phone, we are all worried about you]

Plugging the phone into the charger, Song Qingyao went to the bathroom to wash up. While brushing his teeth, he saw Yang Tingwei's toothbrush and towel. Last night, the impatient picture of Yang Tingwei buried his head in front of the woman's chest appeared before his eyes again.

He took out the toothbrush towel, threw it into the trash can in the bathroom, went back to the room and changed into light casual clothes, turned around and saw the suitcase in the corner, and stopped again.

He took a week off, which is a rare break from working in the emergency department.If he went back to sell the vacation now, his colleagues would definitely ask more questions, and he didn't want to face Yang Tingwei so soon.

After standing there for a while, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yang Tingwei via WeChat: [That's it, we're done]

Before Yang Tingwei could reply, he blocked the other party's WeChat account, opened Ctrip, picked a random destination to buy a ticket, and went downstairs with his suitcase.

On the way to the airport, he answered Ji Gan's call.

Ji Qin really told her brother everything, Ji Qian asked him if he had any thoughts, and he simply said that they had broken up.

"So easy?" Ji Gan understood his character, so he wasn't surprised to hear that, but he had doubts about whether Yang Tingwei would readily agree.

"He won't disagree." Song Qingyao's tone couldn't hear the ups and downs. "He is now on the rise in his career. If things get big, it won't look good to anyone."

The rest of the words were suppressed at the bottom of his throat. Song Qingyao didn't want to talk about the shitty things that were blocked between the two of them during this period. Ji Gan also understood that he didn't ask, but he heard that he was still going on vacation. Ji Gan asked the purpose Where is the land.

The original destination was Sanya. Song Qingyao had always wanted to see the sea, so he bought a ticket to Qingdao just now.

"Qingdao is great," Ji Gan said with a smile, "it's different from the sea in Xiamen, it's worth seeing."

Song Qingyao said, "Do you have any food and drink recommendations?"

"Wait, I'll find a few for you. Is there a place to live?"

"I haven't watched it yet."

"Let's live by the sea. Old Man Shi has many hotels where you can see the sea. I'll give you a simple strategy, and I'll send it to you later."

At the airport, Song Qingyao settled for breakfast at McDonald's, and received accommodation information from Ji Qian when he boarded the plane.

Randomly picked a hotel close to the coastline. After Song Qingyao booked a room, he saw that the front desk confirmed the room, but when he arrived, the front desk staff apologized and explained that the last double bed room was booked before him because of a system problem. gone.

Today is Saturday, another sunny day in early April, and the hotels near the sea are almost fully booked.Song Qingyao had no choice but to ask if there were any other rooms. The staff confirmed that there was still a family room, but the last guest stayed for half a day, and he would not be able to check in until [-] pm at the earliest.

Looking at his watch, he was hesitating whether to change to another hotel, when the people behind him passed him to the front desk.

The man was dragging a Rimowa black suitcase of the same style as him, with a pair of AJs on his feet, slim jeans and a denim jacket on top, and a short ponytail as long as a thumb on the back of his head wearing a baseball cap.Although the standing posture is casual, the body proportions are excellent when viewed from behind, especially the shape of the exposed ankle, which has an impeccable sense of line.

Thinking of the embarrassing scene last night, Song Qingyao wanted to avoid it, but the man turned sideways, pointed his thumb back at him and asked the staff: "It's him?"

"Yes," the staff member explained, "the time difference between you and this customer's order is only one second. It should be that the time is so close that the system didn't have time to refresh the data."

The man nodded, looked at him and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what bed I sleep on, but you probably didn't sleep well all night, why don't you give me the room first."

Seeing that Song Qingyao didn't respond, the man turned his head to look at the staff: "That's the decision, give him my room."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief, took the ID card handed over by the man, confirmed it and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin He, then your room is on the 43rd floor. Please leave a phone number, and we will notify you immediately when the cleaning is finished tonight." you."

After swiping the card to enter the door, what Song Qingyao saw was a whole wall of sea view.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows, he opened the glass door, and the cool spring sea breeze blew in front of him, blowing the bangs on his forehead, and sweeping away the fatigue of the journey.

Leaning against the guardrail of the small balcony, he looked at the sea and sky on the opposite side, but an inappropriate voice sounded in his mind.

"The rooms in this hotel have a 270-degree view of the sea, so let's book this one."

The voice clearly came from himself, but he felt ironic when he heard it now.

The misty sea fog spreads between the sky and the earth, blurring the dividing line at the end of the world. Different from the bright and gorgeous Sanya seascape like oil paintings, the sea here has a delicate, slow and soul-stirring beauty.

Thinking of Ji Gan telling him when he went to the airport that the sea in Qingdao is not inferior to that in Xiamen, but maybe because he has lived in Xiamen all year round and is used to seeing the sea in Xiamen, the Qingdao sea in his eyes is very different at this moment.The gray-blue sea surface is like smudged watercolor ink, and the wind blowing on the face does not feel damp, so I feel very comfortable just standing there.

After tidying up the things in the suitcase, Song Qingyao went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he glanced at his phone. Ji Qin sent him another gossip: [Yang Tingwei came to the emergency department. I heard that you were on vacation. I didn't believe it. I waited for a long time before you found it. willing to go]

The matter between him and Yang Tingwei has not been made public, except for Ji Gan and Ji Qin, only his family members know about it, so even if Yang Tingwei passes over, there will be no big trouble.He put his phone in his pocket, put on his breast bag and headed out.

Ji Gan sent him a guide, listing some delicacies and scenic spots, and helping him make a good route.

Looking at the guide that detailed the time required for the journey, he pressed the voice button: "Did you do it or your assistant?"

Ji Qian came back after he got into the taxi: "It's no difference, he did it in more detail than me. You follow the above arrangement, I've seen that there is no problem."

Smiling and shaking his head, Song Qingyao looked at the scenery outside the window, and the car stopped at the destination a few minutes later.

This is a well-known local beach, and he also prepared swimming trunks in his luggage, but Qingdao in April is not as warm as Sanya, and it is not suitable for swimming.

He stood on the beach, looking at the big rock standing alone in the middle of the sea.Many tourists around him took out their mobile phones to take pictures. His mobile phone was put in the pocket of his coat with his hands, and he didn't take it out after standing for more than ten minutes, until someone patted him on the shoulder.

A young girl in a bikini handed him her phone and said, "Can you take a picture, please?"

Song Qingyao took the phone, and the girl and her boyfriend stood together arm in arm. As soon as they got into the pose, they saw her boyfriend frowned and shouted behind Song Qingyao, "What are you taking pictures of?"

Song Qingyao turned his head to look, and saw a young man a few steps away holding his mobile phone horizontally in their direction.

Being questioned, the young man looked up from the screen and looked at the couple inexplicably: "It's my freedom to shoot whatever."

These words angered the other party, the man strode up to the man, and was about to grab the phone when he saw the frozen picture on the screen.

It was Song Qingyao's magnified profile.

The man was stunned: "What's the matter, didn't you shoot my girlfriend?"

The young man said something in a low voice, and the man's expression suddenly distorted. His eyes lingered for a moment between the young man's face and Song Qingyao's face. Finally, he took the phone from Song Qingyao's hand with a look of disgust, and strode away with his girlfriend. .

When they were far away, the young man came to Song Qingyao's side. The dimple on his left cheek was shallow, but it was hard to ignore.

"What a coincidence, senior, we meet again."

Glancing at Lin He's hand extended to say hello, Song Qingyao didn't move, and asked instead, "What did you say to him?"

"It's nothing." Lin He put his hands back into his trouser pockets, shrugged his shoulders, "He suspected that I secretly took pictures of his girlfriend, and I said he was thinking too much, and I was more interested in him."
