"It's fake." After staring at it for a while, Li Bai said abruptly, threw the card on the table, got up and walked to the bathroom, "This kind of thing can't be printed? It's too exaggerated to write it by hand. It's fake at first glance. "

Grilled oyster sauce was stained on the paper, the lamp was wiped carelessly, then wrapped it in an envelope and stuffed it back into the bag, and hurriedly caught up with Li Bai, "It's genuine, otherwise why would I come all the way to lie to you!"

Li Bai covered his mouth, buried his head and walked quickly, but his voice didn't get muffled, panting, with a kind of nervous sharpness, "Then tell me why Yang Jian wrote the name 'Li Li'? Everyone has a pen, isn't it?" Photocopied, there must be hundreds of copies written, right? Doing it yourself, willingly?” He laughed, “Impossible, the sun is coming out from the west, no woman can make him like this, no, it doesn’t exist!”

"But you admitted that it was his handwriting," Deng Deng sighed, "Aren't you contradicting yourself..."

"I mean, he can marry, he can marry anyone, but he doesn't need to marry me!" Li Bai suddenly turned his face and stared at him, his voice was so loud that the whole hall could hear, "But he can't do that Write an invitation."

Deng Deng was taken aback.

"He hasn't sent it to me yet..." Li Bai's voice softened again, and he was as low as he was at the base of the wall. Deng Deng had to lean over and get closer to hear it clearly, "Really, he didn't send it to me."

"How could it be possible to send it to you." Deng Deng said softly.

Li Bai didn't seem to hear.

The attention that was attracted just now has dispersed, the playing of the violin, the chatting and laughing of the diners, they all quickly returned to normal.No one went into why this red-eyed Asian boy squatted down completely at this moment, as if he couldn't even stand up because of the pain.Deng Deng wanted to help Li Bai up, but Li Bai jumped up before him and rushed into the door of the bathroom next to him.

There was a loud noise of the compartment door being slammed shut, followed by the sound of vomiting, and Deng Deng looked around, trying to find a waiter and gesture to ask if he could pry open the lock inside the compartment and go in to accompany Li Bai, but the boss had already returned Indoors, the spring breeze is blowing, and I am about to walk to the dining table.His hand on the doorknob slipped off again.He ran back, opened oysters as usual, poured wine, cut a knife of butter to smear the bread heavily, and fed the boss a bite.He was not asked where his friend had gone.And about half an hour later, Li Bai returned to the table, except for the wet forehead hair and the bite marks on the back of his hands, there was indeed nothing abnormal.

"Excuse me." He looked at the lamp trapped in the arms of the gray-haired man, panting.

"I have to go." He picked up his old Baba's satchel and left like a gust of wind.

Li Bai's "going" is very thorough.It took him three days to return to China. During this period, Dengdeng and the others hadn't finished playing in one city. His original salary of [-] yuan signed in the contract has been reduced to [-] yuan according to the rules of the contract. It is better to be honest for four months He earns a lot in China, and it will take a while for the crew to pay the bill before it gets to him.Sister Linda also said worriedly, Xiaobai, you keep running away, how can the crew dare to ask you in the future?

However, Li Bai didn't feel any pain in the flesh. There were so many US dollar bills left, he didn't even want to go to the bank to change them.The problem before him now is, what is he going to do when he comes back?

He blocked his big, dusty box at the door and did not open it, just locked himself in his rented house quietly.It seemed that Yang Jian had indeed come back. The position of Yang Jian's pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet had not changed, but the angle of placement had changed a little, Li Bai was sure of that.Probably according to what he said in the last few text messages, he came back and opened the window for him to let in the air more than once, so the air in the room was not so stuffy.But the air didn't seem to be enough to support Li Bai to stand up and move his body.

Most of the time, Li Bai stayed on his red sofa, laying down for a long time to change a place, the floor was covered with dust, everything in the refrigerator was broken, he had no desire to clean, and he relied on two handfuls of vermicelli and a bottle of Laoganma to fill his stomach. abdomen.

What are you going to do?Li Bai was thinking about it again.

Send Yang Jian a text message?Or make a phone call?

Ask what happened during this time.Why are you getting married all of a sudden?I am dreaming.Ask why you have to write it by hand. The two names are written on the peony with fine brushwork and lines. It is so serious that you really fell in love with her.

No, don't ask, this is clearly impossible.

Li Bai felt that he didn't need to be verified.On the contrary, if he calls Yang Jian, he will lose control. He will speak incoherently and become disoriented. Standing at home, he will lie down on the spot, and walking on the road, he will jump into the uncovered well.It seems a bit ridiculous, a broken card and a woman who jumped out halfway can beat him like this, he seems to be unable to deal with a conversation between himself and Yang Jian in a normal and decent way now, but this is another What's the matter?He doesn't have to fight.He was just having a strange dream, since it was a dream, there was no need to prove it was false, he would wake up sooner or later.

He lay in bed for nearly a week without waking up.

He walked out of the room and wandered around like a ghost for a while. He didn't know where he wandered, and how long he was like this, but he still didn't wake up.Afterwards, he ran to the downstairs of Qidi Technology Building and began to squat down.Yang Jian's schedule and Li Bai's mind is still clear - if Yang Jian was still working here and still eating a ten-yuan box lunch, he would go downstairs and run twice in the early morning, and run around in the evening. Going downstairs to the newsstand to buy cigarettes, all in order to sleep less and stay awake.

The bushes outside the parking space of the building are very suitable for hiding and waiting. Whether it is early morning or evening, Li Bai always stays here.From squatting to sitting, and then squatting up again, his heart was as peaceful as following his instinct. His vitamin bread and mineral water were almost exhausted, and he finally waited for Yang Jian.

Yang Jian got off the co-pilot of a silver BMW, and his Yamaha went somewhere. He was dressed in black, and the computer bag on one shoulder was also black. Looking at his back, he looked like...he was still a student.The distance is actually quite far, but Li Bai can be sure when he sees him, and he can't make a mistake.

After closing the car door, Yang Jian turned around and left without saying hello to the driver.Looking in the direction, he was going to the revolving door of the building, and he was facing Li Bai for no more than a second during the whole process, but Li Bai grabbed the weeds at his feet, sweating, and those slender grass leaves put his palms on the ground. It was so painful that his first reaction was to run away.

Is that car Li Li's?Doesn't Li Li know how to drive?

Seeing the black Yang Jian sinking into the black building, Li Bai was able to move.He ran away.All he wanted was to go home, as if a knife would fall from the sky outside at any moment and nail him to the concrete floor.

Li Bai was lying on his sofa that night, and it suddenly occurred to him that Professor Li entrusted Yang Jian to take care of his bunch of flowers before he went abroad to study.He got up and went to the balcony to check. The moonlight was so bright that it turned the white tiles into blue. The plants in those beautiful flowerpots were all lifeless, and the leaves were so dry that they became brittle and turned into powder when rubbed.It seems that when Yang Jian opened the window for him to breathe, he was not in the mood to water the flowers.

Li Bai couldn't help laughing, and opened the window to enjoy the Nanjing cigarettes he had been thinking about day and night in Africa.The five-story building is exactly at the same height as the crowns of the poplar trees. The leaves have not yet fallen, and the crowns are fluffy and full. They tremble under the blue moon, covering the windows with their shadows.Li Bai admired it for a while, the night was very deep, the moon rose to the highest point, his eyes swept away, and suddenly he saw two suspicious black lumps on the outer unit of the air conditioner on the left.

Opening the window over there, Li Bai poked his head out and saw that there were two shrunken, elongated things with slender tails.

Killed rats.

It's been a long time since we saw each other. In the past, little snakes would be put on the door of the rental house that he hadn't demolished, and by the fence of the balcony of Yang Jian's dormitory.Xiao Hui, who failed to be released many times, would stop on the glass roof, stare at him with yellow eyes, and peck at him with beaks, asking him to take him in again.

It's actually a lovely thing.

You paid the accommodation fee again... Are you coming back?Your box of sawdust and little mice have been thrown somewhere by your brother, and so has your cage.Li Bai read silently, trying to catch the sound of wings flapping in the wind, but he couldn't hear anything.

For the first time in these days, Li Bai cried out, lying on the window sill, tears filled his hands, howling in the quiet night at a high place seemed weird, and he couldn't stop it.

Li Bai went out the next day and bought a new mobile phone number. He didn't know when the two mice were put there, but at least Xiao Hui had returned. He took this as a sign and encouraged him to admit that he still He wanted to talk to Yang Jian, wanted to hear that person's voice, he was a little afraid that Yang Jian would press reject when he saw his number.And, even though he knew that he couldn't rush up to stop Yang Jian from speaking, he still wanted to hide in a corner and see how Yang Jian looked different every day.

So after putting the new card into the old Nokia, Li Bai went back downstairs to TusTech Building.

This time I was lucky, after one o'clock in the afternoon, before I could figure out what to say on the phone, Li Bai waited for the person he wanted to see.Yang Jian came out of the revolving door, still dressed in black, and stood under the scorching sun for a while, the same silver BMW stopped next to the flagpole to pick him up, and he was still sitting in the co-pilot.Fortunately, a taxi stopped to unload passengers by the side of the road. Li Bai hurriedly stopped him, jumped in and asked his master to chase him quickly.

There is no traffic jam in Zhongguancun during this time period. The silver car drove all the way, and the small yellow and green Hyundai followed it about 100 meters away. Finally, it was almost three o'clock, and both of them arrived at Wangfujing.

The silver car stopped at the side of the road, and Yang Jian got out of the car first, and then both doors of the rear compartment opened, and Li Li got out on one side, no surprise there, wearing a little white dress with lantern sleeves, and On the other side was Yang Yuqiu, with a red skirt and a skirt like a feather gauze.She went around from the rear of the car, and Li Li took her hand affectionately.

They were a few steps away from Yang Jian, chatting and laughing, and walked behind.

Li Bai hurriedly handed the money to the master. He thanked his eyesight, but couldn't believe his eyes.Then the silver car drove away, and there was no parking place nearby.In the middle is a road and a zebra crossing with a red light on. Li Bai was blocked by the traffic flow, watching the three people with distinct colors walking farther and farther along the street, they could only walk along the side of the road in a parallel direction so that the distance would always be maintained. On the width of a road.

In the busiest commercial street in Beijing, the guard rails in the middle of the road are all pure white. Li Bai saw them pass through the crowd, stop at the door of a store with a door sign decorated in pure white, and walk in back and forth.The store logo is cursive in English, light silver, Li Bai can't understand it, but he can clearly see the things in the shop window on the first floor.

All white, all wedding dresses.

It turned out to be the case.

What about the second floor?Li Bai raised his head, the second floor was not empty, the lights were bright, and there were large floor-to-ceiling windows, which showed the indoor environment clearly.After a while, he saw three shadows in red, white and black in the floor-to-ceiling window.As if they were the only distinguished customers, a group of shop assistants circled around, then Li Li disappeared, Yang Yuqiu chatted with a few shop assistants by the window, Yang Jian sat on the sofa, the shop assistant made a wrong step, and he was blocked.

The first dress was put on in about 15 minutes. It was a relatively light and simple dress. Standing here with Li Bai, you can still see Li Li's calves exposed outside.Yang Yuqiu went up to help her tidy up her skirt, she spun around to let the skirt float up, smiling like Yang Yuqiu, Yang Jian stood by the window, as if nodding and applauding her.

Suddenly, the bell rang in Li Bai's ear, it was a bicycle that almost hit him, brushed past him, cursed and rode away.His heart was beating wildly with fright, he took another step back, and stood leaning against a street lamp.

I waited for nearly half an hour for the second wedding dress, and it was much more complicated than the last one, with translucent gauze sleeves and a pinched waist like a princess. Yang Yuqiu still helped Li Li tidy up, and Li Li still looked at the mirror under the eyes of the shop assistants. Turning around lightly, Yang Jian was still looking at her all the time, with his back to Li Bai, his back was straight and gentle.

Li Bai could hardly breathe.

Li Li rested for a while, and was surrounded to drink tea, as if he also ate fruit.Li Bai looked up at them, thinking dryly, what date is it today? You're 27, and you just started trying on wedding dresses today?Rich ladies have to order... Oh, those clothes fit so well, they must have been customized and already made, wait for her to try the effect and take the goods away.

How many sets are there?In a wedding, the bride needs to change several sets of clothes.

By the time the third set was changed, the sun had lost its intensity and began to sink in the gray sky. The road in front of Li Bai was getting more and more crowded, and it looked like an evening rush hour.Li Li disappeared for a while, and came out crystal clear. The snow-white long skirt that dragged the floor showed round and graceful curves. When I squinted my eyes, the hem of the skirt seemed to be made of feathers.

Li Bai suddenly hated his eyes.He didn't want to see so clearly.It's what they have to do.

She was still carrying a veil, and Yang Jian stood behind her, pausing for a while, it turned out that she was pinning the veil on her.

Standing for a long time made Li Bai unable to feel his legs, so he seemed to have no pain from fatigue, but, for the first time in his life, he saw death so clearly.

It was a horror that he had never imagined no matter how hard he was beaten.

He took out his cell phone, which was his instinctive reaction at the moment, and something he had to do.He wanted to save himself.The address book was lost, so he tremblingly entered Yang Jian's number, and after waiting for more than ten seconds, Li Bai saw Yang Jian quit the bustle, but still turned his back to him, and the phone was connected at this time.

"Brother, it's me." Li Bai said.

The only sound on the phone was the laughter of the women, and Yang Jian's shadow remained motionless.

"I saw you," Li Bai said again, "you can see me next to McDonald's when you turn around."

Yang Jian really turned his head, and turned his whole body towards Li Bai.He was still silent, and he didn't even breathe heavily. Li Bai couldn't see his eyes clearly, but he had the feeling of being watched in an instant.

"I'm back from Africa, and I won't leave." Li Bai didn't know whether it felt like being on a ventilator or being tied to a fire chair, and he opened and closed his lips with difficulty. He said slowly, "I heard that you want to get married. Now it seems that it is true. I don't want...to bother you. "

"I won't bother you!" He said anxiously, and the speed of his speech suddenly became faster, "You will be embarrassed if I go there, so I won't go, I won't find you! Come down for a while, you come to me."

"Let's talk on the phone." Yang Jian finally spoke, and just said one sentence.

"I..." Li Bai was stunned, "I can't talk on the phone."

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Jian still faced him like that.

The face was too blurred, and so was the voice.

"Can't you come down? I'm not trying to make a fuss," Li Bai retreated to the glass wall of McDonald's, and there was nowhere to retreat, "I'm really not. I just want to talk to you. Or do you even meet once? All, don't you want to?"

"Inconvenient," Yang Jian said flatly, and then asked, "How did you know about the marriage?"

Li Bai was very surprised, and immediately turned into anger: "You don't want to see me, why did I tell you? I just know, I saw your handwritten invitation, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful!"

Yang Jian didn't ask any more questions, turned half of his body, he seemed to be about to hang up the phone.

That feeling was like being stepped down by an elephant and run over a few times. Li Bai regretted the anger just now. He felt that his whole body was turned into a puddle of mud, and he was about to leak dry from the drain cover on the side of the road. Two clean.He desperately grasped at the last straw, and he couldn't help crying: "Did you really see me? Brother, do you see what I look like now?"

"Xiaobai, I have nothing to say." Of course Yang Jian saw him, but turned a blind eye. "It's just that you shouldn't come back now." He said it very sincerely, and even seemed to be really worried about it.But he also turned around at the same time, turned his back to Li Bai, and walked back into the crowd, holding his mobile phone and being pushed to the front of the mirror, shoulder to shoulder with Li Li.

Li Bai couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. He could only see that the whole world was red, smoking, and smelly, as if someone had poured hot blood on it before the sun hit the ground, and his heart fell in front of him, covered in chewing gum and Writhing and writhing on the drink-stained floor, dying.

"Shouldn't come back to see you get married, should I?" He was confused. "Shouldn't have come back to hold you back. Are you in love with her?"

Yang Jian didn't speak.

"Have you read my emails? I wrote seven, just tell me you read one."

Yang Jian still didn't say anything.

"...We, Yang Jian," Li Bai waited for a long time, unable to see him or hear him, so overwhelmed by despair, he choked on himself as soon as he made a sound, his nose and mouth were fishy, ​​and he touched his nose He rubbed his hands full of red, and actually bled. I don't know when he bled so much. He covered his nose and finished speaking, "We're done!"

It was getting dark, and the bright and elegant storefront stood out amidst the neon lights all over the street, but Li Bai couldn't see clearly, his eyes were completely blurred by tears, and after saying these four words, he cried so hard that he couldn't utter any more. of syllables.

Yang Jian didn't go back to the window, no matter whether Li Bai saw it or not.The busy tone sounded and he hung up the phone.

Li Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard the "beep", put the phone on the ground, and kicked it to the middle of the road.Several cars passed by, and it was finally crushed under the wheels and shattered into pieces.Li Bai watched all this hard, remembered all this, lifted the hem of his clothes to wipe the blood and tears on his face, turned and left.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yang Jian regained his composure, suppressed the urge to smash the mirror and glass, and when he was finally able to take a good look out the window again, he saw that the McDonald's and under the streetlight were all empty, countless People came and went, and there was no longer any white shadow standing there, looking up.
