Mina complained: "You are always like this, and you don't say anything when you come back."
Zhou Shaoting got up, put the wine glass on the coffee table, walked to the balcony connected to the living room, and opened a window.
He turned his back to Mina, looked at the sparse lights and swaying tree shadows outside the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently. After a long time, he said lightly: "It's a personal matter, and because of my father, I left in a hurry."
When he spoke, he faced the window, and every syllable was blown in the night wind as soon as he uttered it, making the meaning of his words seem extraordinarily lonely and unreliable.
Mina suddenly recalled, wasn't that late autumn when Shao Ting's father died? At the end of the same year, he and his cousin got married in a hurry in the United States.
So, before that, he quietly returned to Shanghai, could it be for some "personal matter"?
The man's back was extremely heavy under the moonless and starless night, and Mina couldn't help but breathe lightly, and asked carefully, "Did you come back to find her?"
Zhou Shaoting did not answer, his eyes gradually lost focus. He seemed to see, in that particularly cold late autumn, an extremely lonely figure, walking across the campus full of memories, passing through the streets and alleys of memories. However, the second half of the sentence of seeing things and thinking about people is always that things are right and people are wrong. He came to the small bakery full of hope, thinking that he could get information about her, but in the end, all he got was an indifferent eviction order from the bakery owner: "Go away, don't disturb her life anymore. She is now Have a good time, I have already forgotten about you."
Even though he was unwilling, fate no longer gave him time. The news of his father's critical illness was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering his last obsession. He rushed back to the United States overnight, but he didn't even see his father for the last time. The dearest relative he respected and cherished the most, left his life in such a hasty manner. As an unfilial son, he could only kneel down with regret and listen to his mother's cold delivery of his father's dying entrustment¡ªYiheng is my life's painstaking effort and my unfinished dream. I will entrust it to you, and you must keep it. A family business should not be easily given up.
From then on, he will bear a heavy guilt and accept this heavy responsibility; from then on, he will succumb to the absurd arrangement of reality with eternal regret.
There is nothing more to love about that wounded city; there is no more desire for love.
Therefore, if you ask him if he came back to find her, it doesn't make any sense
"Yes, or not, it doesn't matter."
Zhou Shaoting turned around, rather than answering Mina, he was convincing himself.
Mina knew the cigarette was on and off.
She was also quite embarrassed about Zhou Shaoting's relationship. At that time, they were still very close, and she had seen the delicate and smart girl beside him a few times. In this hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the girl who walked out of the mountains, rivers and rivers has a natural demeanor, like a little fairy, so clear and moving.
It's just that the people who once said they would never be separated are now scattered all over the world.
Mina was silent for a moment, and then she spoke softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, "I heard that she seems to have gone to Beijing to study in graduate school."
"I've come back." The man's voice could not discern sorrow and joy.
Mina moved her body in shock, "You mean, she is in Shanghai now?"
Zhou Shaoting was noncommittal, and the expression on the face behind the smoke was somewhat unclear.
Suddenly Mina realized something and said, "You've seen her, haven't you?"
Zhou Shaoting nodded and flicked off the soot.
"Thenhow is she now? What is she doing?"
Zhou Shaoting's eyes were deep, as if looking into the distance, and said lightly: "She is doing well, and already has a boyfriend."
After finishing speaking, he put out his cigarette butt, walked back to the sofa and sat down.
Mina looked at the man's face, trying to catch a trace of emotion from it, but she found nothing.
After all, it's been so many years, maybe he's faded too.
Thinking of her cousin, Mina had mixed feelings in her heart, between the two of them, there were some things she didn't want to mention, but she had to.
"Shao Ting, have you called my cousin recently? I heard that she has severe morning sickness"
"Mina, you know, I don't want to talk about this." Zhou Shaoting interrupted her, and then drank the red wine in the glass.
He got up to say goodbye, and Mina agreed to see him off, her smile was still kind, but her heart was a little sad.
Zhou Shaoting, time flies, many things have changed, and now we have nothing to say.
On Friday night, Yan Xiaoshi ate some fast food near the apartment, and then limped back home.
A few days ago??, the old injury of her sprained foot in Zhou Shaoting's office is still not healed, just now when chasing Kang Ning down the stairs, she twisted it again, it was the same foot, the right foot. This time it was really worse.
When she entered the door and took off her shoes, she saw that they were swollen. So I jumped to the bathroom, soaked the towel in cold water, jumped back to the sofa, sat in a comfortable position, and applied the cold towel to my swollen ankle.
The living room didn't turn on the lights, and the light was very dark, but she didn't want to turn on the lights, and she didn't want to move.
The pain from her ankle reminded her of all the embarrassments just now, but it made people feel unexpectedly at ease. Because this kind of pain can be seen and touched, it can be relieved by applying a cold towel, knowing that sooner or later the swelling will subside and heal.
At this moment, the pain in her heart is obviously so strong, but she doesn't know where the wound is, she can't find a way to relieve it, and she doesn't know when it will heal.
That person's cold and temperatureless eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing through her already fragile heart, and it hurt her internal organs.
At the beginning, it was obviously he who chose to go decisively - "If you can try to let go, maybe it will be better."
Xiao Shi still clearly remembers the tone of his words when he said this, or a little helpless, but submerged in a surprisingly calm and rational manner, maintaining his usual elegant demeanor, but it almost made her heart ache.
But why, now he returned to this city in a big way, broke into her life, and disturbed her finally peaceful heart?
His dazzling wedding ring, his high-sounding demeanor, and his cold and indifferent eyes seemed to be laughing at how self-deceiving she thought her strong psychological defense was
The window of the living room was not closed tightly, and the wind leaked in through the crack of the window.
The evening wind in early spring, passing through the colorful lights of the city, brings the breath of the distance - the distant land no longer belongs to the city.
The wind is full of dense water vapor, blowing the fragrance of forests in the mountains, the coolness of sweet streams, and the sweetness of green grass and soil Maybe it comes from a certain valley stream?
I have heard that there is a secret and profound connection between smell and human memory.
When this kind of night wind poured in from the nostrils and washed in the lungs, Xiaoshi felt that something dusty in her heart that she dared not touch was quietly waking up.
