Don't ask about the future

On New Year's Eve, Yan Wenqing stayed at the unit and worked overtime.Yi Yun drove the car to a place one stop away from Chunqiu Terrace and stopped.Sitting in the car, while listening to the radio, I watched the crowds gathered in the municipal square waiting for the New Year's bell, happily celebrating the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.

It has been several years in a row, and Yi Yun has chosen to spend the New Year alone by hiding in the crowd.

At this time of year, her parents are usually still traveling abroad.They only stay in the country during the Spring Festival.Li Enze welcomes Yi Yun to his house, but Yi Yun doesn't like to be that extra outsider when other people's family reunite.Although Gao Shengxi usually has a tough mouth, when it comes to critical moments, she will show her gentle girlfriend's strength.Every year at this time, she would take time to fly back to Xijiang and stay with Zhang Wenzhi.Therefore, Yi Yun, who usually seems to be accompanied by a large group of people, is always the one who is alone when it comes to critical moments.

This year, it seemed that he could finally get rid of the path of suffering, but he was temporarily notified that Yan Wenqing had to work overtime.The sumptuous dinner that was originally prepared was useless, so Yi Yun ate something casually, took the gift she prepared, and went to the city center early to wait, waiting to be called at any time.

He was just sitting alone in a deserted car, surrounded by a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, but the excitement had nothing to do with him.In order to prevent himself from having tragic feelings, Yi Yun silently recited the tried-and-tested mantra: If one person eats enough, the whole family will be fine! Putting down the back of the driver's seat, Yi Yun lay down in the car. net.

An hour passed, and there was no news from Yan Wenqing.Afraid that she was busy, Yi Yun didn't dare to send her a message, afraid of disturbing her work.Only one location was shared, and there were no more words.After waiting for too long, Yi Yun gradually fell asleep lying on the back of the chair.

It may be that the posture is really not comfortable, and the environment outside the car is too noisy. This time, Yi Yun slept very restlessly, and had strange dreams one after another.

At first, she dreamed that Yuanyuan was still the same as a child, and a ferocious and rude man led another dog that looked exactly like Yuanyuan to find Yi Yun.It is said that Yuanyuan is a sibling of his dog and milk compatriots, but they just got lost accidentally.Now that you have found it, take it with you.Yi Yun refused, and the man came up to snatch the leash connected to Yuanyuan from Yi Yun's hand.

Yi Yun rose up to resist and was in a stalemate with him when the sound of TV news came from behind him.The announcer is reporting the officials who have been punished according to law in the new round of anti-corruption work, and Yan Wenqing's name is among them.Yi Yun couldn't care less about the dispute with the man, and wanted to contact Yan Wenqing immediately.Immediately took out the phone to dial, but still could not enter Yan Wenqing's phone number completely and correctly.The phone could not be dialed no matter what, just when she was at a loss and was distracted, the man grabbed the leash, pulled Yuanyuan and ran away.Yi Yun chased desperately, but couldn't keep up with their speed, and watched Yuanyuan being taken away.A sense of immense powerlessness nearly overwhelmed her.

At this time, Li Enze suddenly appeared again, telling Yi Yun that their plan had failed, and the ending did not happen according to his design.Anger, disappointment, and confusion mixed together completely crushed Yi Yun.She was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but found that she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.I had no choice but to clenched my fist, "bang bang bang", and hit Li Enze's middle-aged fat belly with all my strength, venting her resentment, unwillingness and remorse.

Tired from beating, Yi Yun collapsed on the ground.Realizing that she had nothing now, a void of loss enveloped her.Hugging himself tightly in sadness, Yi Yun sat on the spot and burst into tears.Just crying, I can still hear the knocking sound of "bang bang bang" in my ears, and the volume is getting louder.

Looking up, Yi Yun realized that he was still lying in the car, but Yan Wenqing's anxious expression was reflected outside the car window.

Yi Yun got up quickly, unlocked the door, Yan Wenqing opened the car door, and hugged Yi Yun:

"Big fool, why are you crying?"

"Well... I'm afraid."

There were still tears on Yi Yun's wet face.

Although I can't remember the fleeting dreams at all, the fear in my heart still has a coldness that can't be dispelled.She hugged Yan Wenqing tightly, for a moment she almost wanted to break her apart and melt her into her body.In this way, they can no longer be afraid of separation.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

"Well."

Yi Yun's voice was muffled, and he nodded in Yan Wenqing's arms.The arms around her were tight and tight, lest there be even a little distance between them.

Sensing Yi Yun's anxiety, Yan Wenqing comforted him softly:

"I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Reaching out to lift Yi Yun's chin, and wiping away the tears on her face, Yan Wenqing held Yi Yun in his arms and kissed:

"Hey! Don't worry, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

"you promise?"

"I promise."

Only when Yan Wenqing is really by her side is the only moment when Yi Yun feels at ease.Yan Wenqing let Yi Yun continue to hug her in silence until the cold wind poured into the car, causing Yi Yun, who was not wearing a jacket, to shiver uncontrollably. Looking up, he saw that Yan Wenqing's face was a little pale from the wind, Only then did I realize that I was being willful again.

"Sorry! Get in the car."

Letting go, Yi Yun started the car when Yan Wenqing sat on the side frame.The two drove towards the sparsely populated main road of the city at this time.While driving, Yi Yun still turned his head to look at Yan Wenqing from time to time, as if worried that she would disappear out of thin air.

"Hey, look ahead!" Yan Wenqing straightened Yi Yun's face for the third time, and said, "If you don't care about looking at the road, let me drive."

"No!" Yi Yun quickly turned his gaze, "You can't find the place I want to take you to."

"Are there any surprises?"

"It can be counted... If you don't get off work, I will really be stupid there, and I won't be able to use any of the programs I prepared..." Yi Yun pouted, and then laughed again, "However, we should be able to catch up now .”

"I'm afraid you'll wait too long, so I left early."

"Ah... Is anyone still working overtime? Today is a national holiday!"

"Serving the people is our bounden duty!"

"Your Excellency, thank you!" Yi Yun raised his hand and saluted.

"Serve the people!" Yan Wenqing waved his hand and returned the salute.

The two laughed happily.

The bitterness of dreams and the hard work of overtime are all resolved by the joy of being with each other, forgotten and left behind.

Yi Yun couldn't bear to make Yan Wenqing worry, so he stopped looking at her, stretched out his arms, and took Yan Wenqing's folded hands on his knees.Yan Wenqing wanted to pull away, but seeing Yi Yun's finally calm expression, he gave up resisting, spread his palms, and clasped his fingers tightly.Yi Yun felt the warmth of Yan Wenqing's palm, which continuously sent energy to her.A smile spread out of the corners of her eyes unconsciously, and there seemed to be a warm current in her heart, protecting her from the biting cold wind in winter.

Driving to a subway station, Yi Yun found a place to park the car, and dragged Yan Wenqing to the subway station.

"Shall we take the subway?"

"No." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "The time is just right."

Yi Yun bought two tickets, held Yan Wenqing's hand, and walked towards the platform together.This is a station away from the urban area, outside the Fifth Ring Road.Unlike other locations, this platform is above ground.On the plain, a place above the horizon can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

On New Year's Eve, the Ministry of Communications specially opened late-night subways for citizens.It was only close to the early morning, and the train only passed every 15 minutes.At this moment, there were no other passengers on the platform, and the staff on duty were staring blankly against the wall.On the cold platform, there is only a faint sound of advertising words alone on the advertising boards.

Yan Wenqing has never taken the subway. In a report she read, it was described that the subway station in Shangjing is the place with the highest turnover rate of people per minute in this country.Its noisy level and complex internal structure made her feel acclaimed and daunting when she read the report at the time.So when Yan Wenqing leaned on the guardrail and looked at the brightly lit highway and buildings with few glimmers of light in the distance, he was very surprised.

It turns out that the transportation artery of this city, after the prosperity fades away, is so quiet as a rock.Of the office workers who travel to and from major lines every day, how many of them have seen its original appearance?People always describe the bustling subway network as a beast like an octopus, but at this moment, the scene it presents in Yan Wenqing's eyes is more like a giant elephant as stable as Mount Tai.

Yi Yun looked at his watch for a while, and looked at the distant sky for a while, with excitement that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.Although Yan Wenqing couldn't think of what her so-called surprise was, she was also infected by her emotions, and there was a vague expectation in her heart.

The billboard began counting down the hour, and Yan Wenqing tilted his head and listened carefully to the countdown to the last ten seconds.It has been a long time since she looked forward to the new year on the last day of the old year.

"Three two one."

In the last three seconds, Yi Yun held Yan Wenqing's hand tightly, and the moment the New Year's bell rang, the sky was like a meteor shower in full bloom, dancing with colorful fireworks.One after another, the gorgeous flower clusters light up the night as dazzling as the day, but they are more charming and brilliant than the monotonous white night.

It was the first time Yan Wenqing saw that fireworks could depict different colors, like a fairyland in a dream, with flying lights.Accompanied by a shock, a colorful auspicious cloud bloomed in the night sky.She likes it so much!

Turning to look at Yi Yun, only to find that she was looking at him with a smile.You are looking at the scenery, but the person watching the scenery is looking at you.Fireworks adorn your eyes, and you adorn others' hearts.

Spread out the palm, a small fluffy toy, sitting in Yi Yun's hand, is a dog doll.Holding it in front of Yan Wenqing, Yi Yun said:

"Happy New Year, Wenqing!"

Yan Wenqing took the gift and held it in his arms, so moved that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"You're going on a business trip tomorrow, and we won't see each other for a long time. I think, if possible, you can take it with you when you go out. It will accompany you to sleep at night, just like I'm by your side."

Yan Wenqing nodded vigorously, but still did not speak.The size and texture of this gift can be put in the pocket directly without putting it in the suitcase, which is just right and will not take up too much space.Fireworks and firecrackers cannot be set off in the urban area of ​​Shangjing, so Yi Yun specially brought her to this location with excellent vision and undisturbed, to watch an exclusive fireworks show.Thinking of this meticulous care, tears welled up, blurring Yan Wenqing's eyes.

"Thank you!"

After finally holding back the tears, his voice was still trembling when he said the two words.

There was undisguised excitement and joy in Yi Yun's smile.

"I'm afraid you don't like it. It's not a special gift."

"Fool! I like it, I like it!"

Yan Wenqing firmly shook Yi Yun's hand.

"Before I heard from my friends that this is the best place to watch New Year's fireworks. Every year they come here to set off fireworks. This year I asked them to set off one more round. The last one that looked like auspicious cloud was specially selected by me. Originally I want to order one with words... Later, after thinking about it, I was afraid that it would be too conspicuous."

There was regret in Yi Yun's tone, but her eyes were full of smiles. Yan Wenqing's liking made her extremely happy.

"A style with words? Is it the kind that explodes in the air and there will be a line of words?"

"Ok!"

"What word did you want?"

"Hmm..." Yi Yun blushed, and Yi Yun became shy, "It's just your name, plus a simple Happy New Year."

Yan Wenqing rubbed Yi Yun's head:

"Xiangyun's appearance is very beautiful. If it is too nasty, I might really not be able to help crying right now."

"Ah...then I will definitely make the one with words next time!"

"Do you really want to see me cry?"

After twisting Yi Yun's ear, the pain was so painful that Yi Yun hurriedly waved his hands:

"No, no! What I give you must be the best."

"Fool, this is very good, I like it very much!"

The fingertips lifted Yi Yun's chin, and the breath from his lips fell into Yi Yun's nose,

"However, the best thing is not here, but at home. Or, I'll drive, and we'll go home right away, okay?"

Yi Yun understood the meaning of Yan Wenqing's words, and the flush on his face seemed to overflow.Nodding shyly, Yi Yun answered "Yes" with difficulty.

The author has something to say:

The platform at midnight is an excellent place for two people to watch fireworks
