person oxidized by love

After that day, Zhou Keyun never contacted Ji Xinghui again, but one day Chen Ran suddenly pushed his WeChat business card over.

Ji Xinghui added him, and the verification passed quickly, as if Zhou Keyun was waiting for him specially.

Ji Xinghui revised Zhou Keyun's remarks, stared at the chat box and thought for a while, when he received customers on weekdays, he had to say hello at least, and then reported his name and said a few nice words.

But in the end Ji Xing replied and didn't send anything to Zhou Keyun.

Although he said that he wanted to treat Zhou Keyun as a customer, he was psychologically unwilling to really do so.

In fact, Ji Xinghui's life is not awkward, and his work and life are clearly separated.He had no choice but to blame Zhou Keyun for asking him to marry, which was fundamentally a mess, which caused him to be indiscriminate between public and private, which was extremely contradictory.

So he avoided Zhou Keyun's invitation to go to Xinggang together.

The class reunion was arranged on Saturday night, and Ji Xing returned to Xinggang by high-speed train after get off work on Friday.

The distance between Xinggang and Xiting is very close, and the high-speed rail only takes 10 minutes. Ji Xinghui chose to study in Xiting for the convenience of taking care of his grandma.

Ji Xinghui didn't tell Tang Cheng that he went out of the station to pick up his mobile phone for navigation.Xinggang Metro Line [-] has just opened this year, and it can go directly to his hotel.

While waiting for the subway, Ji Xing took the subway map to pass the time. Xinggang is a second-tier coastal tourist city. When I was a child, I wanted to go to the beach, so I could take a tourist bus on the ring line. Now it is much more convenient, and the subway can go there directly.

Looking back at those familiar place names, Ji Xing felt a little lost.

Compared with the West Court, the Xinggang subway has much fewer people. When Ji Xing went back up, there were still many empty seats.The pace of this city is slow, unlike the subway in Xiting, where people are always running.

Crowded and busy, it is the business card of Xiting.

Ji Xing dragged his suitcase back and walked to the hotel to check in. He booked for two days and planned to return to the West Court on Sunday afternoon.

The rooms in the express hotel are small, but they are still clean and tidy. Usually, the rooms allocated do not have windows, but today’s luck is better. It may be that the girl at the front desk saw him as handsome and gave him a room with real windows. Room.

Ji Xinghui put the suitcase aside and walked to the window.There is a residential area behind the hotel. The houses in the old city are low and irregular. It is already night, scattered lights are scattered, and the sound of motorcycle engines can occasionally be heard.

Ji Xinghui looked out of the window quietly for a while, and the cell phone thrown on the bed vibrated.

It was an unfamiliar number, and Ji Xing answered: "Hi, I'm Ji Xinghui."

"Are you there?" The voice on the other side of the phone sounded familiar.

Ji Xing was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer right away.

"Ji Xinghui?"

"Ah, I just arrived. Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Ji Xinghui realized that it was Zhou Keyun.

The two of them were quiet for a long time before Zhou Keyun let out a short "hmm" and then hung up the phone.

Ji Xinghui held his phone in a daze, the wind blew the treetops outside the window, making a rustling sound.Ji Xinghui felt that Zhou Keyun must be drunk, otherwise why would his breathing be so heavy just now, beating his heart hard.

If it weren't for the call records as evidence, it would really be like a dream.

Ji Xinghui woke up before the alarm clock rang the next day. He didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so he got up and opened the curtains, only to find that the black silhouette he saw yesterday was a red bougainvillea.

Bougainvilleas are everywhere in Xinggang, and the pink ones are the most. The fence of Xinggang No. [-] Middle School is surrounded by a row. When it is in full bloom, it will squeeze out of the fence and become a pink sea.

The bougainvillea next to the hotel is not as prosperous. It is wrapped around the poles, and the flowers are scattered, which looks a bit lonely.

Ji Xing recalled that in the alley where he lived with his grandmother, there was also such a Bougainvillea plant, which was always difficult to bloom due to insufficient sunlight.

It's the same Bougainvillea, but the situation is so different, Ji Xinghui feels a little sad.

In order to divert his attention, he went downstairs after washing up.

The old city wakes up very early, pots and pans are clanging, and the faces of those who eat breakfast are steamed.

Ji Xing went back to a store and ordered a basket of siu mai. In addition to dipping in vinegar, Xinggang’s siu mai would also serve a bowl of broth. Sprinkle a handful of green onion on top of the clear soup. After taking a sip, he would feel like his whole body was opened , very happy.

When he was young, he ate siu mai with his grandma. Grandma always said that she likes to eat skin, not meat, so she picked out her share of meat and gave it to Ji Xinghui.

Ji Xinghui found that he was so afraid of going back to Xinggang, too many memories made his bones ache.

He finished the meal in a hurry, returned to the hotel room, looked at the bougainvillea outside the window, and stared blankly for a long time.

Of course, there is no bougainvillea outside the window of Zhou Keyun’s hotel. On the spacious desk, a small bouquet of neatly trimmed white hydrangeas is placed in a delicate crystal vase.

Ji Xinghui followed Zhou Keyun in. The room was located on the 32nd floor, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows faced the sea of ​​Xinggang.

Zhou Keyun took off his coat, no one helped him to stop the drink today, he drank a little too much in the end, and now he is a little dizzy.He propped his face, looking a little uncomfortable.

When Ji Xing returned to work, he didn't drink well and was always drunk when socializing, so he could understand this kind of discomfort.

Ji Xing walked around the room. There was milk in the freezer, but there was no heating equipment, so he called the room service and asked them to bring a cup of hot milk.

The waiter came quickly, Ji Xing thanked him and put the milk by Zhou Keyun's hand.

"Drinking some milk will make you feel better."

"Thank you." Zhou Keyun raised his head and glanced back at Ji Xing.

"You're welcome, it's your money." Ji Xinghui sat down opposite him, looking down at his phone.

Zhou Keyun drank half of the milk and asked him, "Has the cemetery been decided?"

Ji Xing nodded back: "The one in Xishan, it just so happens that grandma's ashes are also there."

"Don't you think it's too far away?" Zhou Keyun looked more sober, "Although the scenery is beautiful, there are mountains and water."

Ji Xinghui was a little surprised: "Do you understand so well?"

Zhou Keyun lowered his eyes to get the milk cup: "Well, someone I know is also buried there."

Ji Xing clenched his hands on his lap, and he immediately knew who Zhou Keyun was talking about. He tried his best to keep his tone steady: "Then I can go and see him tomorrow."

Zhou Keyun pinched the wall of the cup and frowned: "It's okay, I'll be with you tomorrow."

If they are really lovers who have come to the stage of talking about marriage, Ji Xing should be satisfied with Zhou Keyun's words, but they are not, they just have a shallow old classmate relationship, and now they are inexplicably standing in the same boat.

But even if they don't actually have an emotional bond, Ji Xinghui still can't tell Zhou Keyun freely that if he wants to see Yi Jin, he won't mind, and he doesn't care.

After all, Yi Jin is a good man, a bad luck, bad-fated good man, and because of his early death, Zhou Keyun will never forget him in his life.

Ji Xinghui can guess why Zhou Keyun returns to Xinggang every year. Yi Jin is buried there. He is forever young and will never be forgotten.

Ji Xing, who had changed classrooms that day, came back, took time to finish his homework, and changed into his work uniform as usual.The bell for evening self-study has already been rung, so he won't bump into anyone.Just as he was about to go down to the floor of the piano room, he suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming along the corridor.

He didn't want to be seen, so he turned and ran back upstairs.

It stands to reason that Ji Xinghui can avoid them as long as he waits quietly at the corner for 3 minutes before going downstairs.But he couldn't control his curiosity. He went upstairs and stood by the railing of the corridor and looked down.

Ji Xinghui easily recognized the person on the left as Zhou Keyun. He was tall with a straight back. He was holding an empty pizza box in his hand and threw it in the trash can downstairs.The boy walking beside him was a head shorter than he was, with a rounded back.The two were very close, the boy was laughing and saying something, and he held the juice in his hand to Zhou Keyun, which was a gesture of sharing.

Ji Xinghui finally confirmed the identity of another person, Yi Jin from the liberal arts class downstairs, a beautiful and lovely Omega.

At this moment, for some reason, Zhou Keyun suddenly turned his head, as if he wanted to look up, and Ji Xinghui squatted down in fright.

Ji Xinghui's heart was beating very hard at that moment, his eyes became sore from staring at him for too long, and what he couldn't get out of his head was the scene just now.

In summer, the days are long, and at this time of night, the campus is extremely quiet when the bell is ringing. Zhou Keyun and Yi Jin are walking side by side, which makes people feel right.
