156. I want to see you when I get up. I want to see you every day. Not a day or two, but every day.
white shirt
black coat
black casual trousers
Lightly apply hair wax and place a white handkerchief on the outer pocket.
Li Xiao stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, who was rarely serious.
He arranged his collar carefully. After all, it was the last journey and he deserved enough respect from himself.
The clothes fit me very well because I just bought them last night.
White and black are the two most conflicting colors.
But strangely they represent the same emotion.
"You stay here today."
Li Xiao put a handful of sunflower seeds into Xiao Lan's bird food plate. The shelled melon seeds made a tinkling sound like black and white piano keys being pressed.
"Then, please be safe."
Xiaolan nodded obediently and spoke.
"Um."
When we got to the roadside, the sky at 12 o'clock was not as bright and clear as usual.
The clouds in the sky are very thick, completely blocking the blue color of the sky and the glare of the sun.
"Driver, Lingyin Road Cemetery."
Li Xiao spoke calmly.
The driver's smile faded, not because of where Li Xiao was going, but because he knew that sometimes, certain behaviors and actions were very inappropriate.
The interesting joke that was about to blurt out suddenly ended without any problem.
Emotions are contagious and transmitted, even if Li Xiao doesn't show anything.
After all, if you wear a black and white suit and go to Lingyin Road Cemetery, you will definitely not go on an outing to collect photos.
"OK."
The driver also spoke calmly.
Click, the door closes.
Tick tock, the green empty sign is put down.
The accelerator was pressed lightly, the wheels slowly rotated and accelerated, and Li Xiao closed his eyes and leaned gently on the backrest.
Some scenery outside the window that was already very familiar was receding at a faster pace.
On the radio station, the female host was talking carefully.
Li Xiao lives not far from Lingyin Road Cemetery.
Driving to the side of the road, the driver hesitated for half a second and asked
"Here, do you want to drive in?"
Although Li Xiao knew that as long as he opened his mouth, the other party would definitely drive in.
After all, the drivers in Hangzhou are pretty good.
But since the other party has spoken, he obviously has some scruples in his heart, otherwise he would definitely drive in directly.
He also knows that every industry has its own taboos.
There is no need to force others to make things difficult for me. The reason why I set off early may be because of this thought.
Li Xiao smiled,
"It's okay, I just wanted to get off here."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and glanced at the bill meter.
A total of 33 yuan, click on the screen, scan the code, and prepare to enter the password.
The driver said apologetically
"30 is enough."
Seeing that Li Xiao was so talkative, he felt guilty in his heart.
Li Xiao smiled, nodded, scanned the QR code to pay, and opened the car door.
A payment reminder sounds in the car
"You have received 33 yuan"
The driver stuck his head out and saw Li Xiao walking on the roadside waving from behind, feeling a little lonely.
He sighed, regretting not sending Li Xiao in.
The road is both long and short, and the cemetery is very quiet, with no noise or noise.
From time to time, I passed a car driving slowly. The clouds in the sky were still very thick, and Li Xiao's shadow on the ground was very faint.
When I walked to the door of the deputy hall, a black and white photo of Yukinosuke Tsungo was placed at the door.
A staff member wearing white mourning clothes handed out a book for people to sign.
Although yesterday, Song Ruyue didn't need to bring anything with her.
However, Li Xiao still brought a white envelope. After all, they finally got to know each other. Since the other party settled in Han Dynasty and used Han Dynasty etiquette, he should also follow the old tradition.
It says on the white bag
The time, the worshipper, and the name of the deceased.
There is 901 inside. The odd number is to avoid "double", which means "hurt" in homophony. The last one is left, which means reluctant to leave and expressing condolences.
Putting down the white envelope, Li Xiao signed his name.
Take a deep breath and walk into the mourning hall.
The funeral hall was very simply decorated, with only ten people sitting in twos and threes.
There were some young and old, but the youngest was over thirty. There was sadness on their faces, and a few of them were still wiping tears.
At the very back of the mourning hall, stood Song Ruyue in white mourning clothes. She was particularly eye-catching today.
Although there was no makeup on his face and his expression was full of exhaustion, the white mourning clothes and the sad aura on his body made people feel particularly pitiful.
Beside her, there was an older woman with silver hair all over her head.
Seeing Li Xiao appear, Song Ruyue was slightly startled, never expecting that he would come so early.
After all, the funeral started at two o'clock, and it was only ten past one.
After that day in the hospital, she checked Li Xiao's information.
This anchor, who looks young but is very good at cooking, earns at least five figures for a four-hour live broadcast.
Moreover, the frequency of his live broadcasts is not low. If there is no personal matter, it is normal to live broadcast once or twice a day.
When Song Ruyue invited Li Xiao, she just wanted to try her luck.
After all, although her father kept nagging the names of Li Xiao and his master when he was ill, she knew very well that they were not actually familiar with each other.
In this world of chasing money and fame, who would die for a person who is not even a good friend and has no value.
The people present now are all the few old friends my father made after coming to China, and a few young ones were the disciples of his master.
Of course, he is not considered a true disciple. Strictly speaking, he is just a student at most.
After all, my father is a very traditional and old-fashioned person, and he takes things like master and apprentice very seriously.
However, even if they were just students, after hearing the news of their father's death, several people expressed that they would definitely come to see them off. After all, even ordinary students, Guan Hao was lucky enough to help
What about wasting almost a whole day to attend a funeral?
Seeing Li Xiao approaching, the etiquette officer spoke in a long and drawn-out voice.
"A bow!"
"Bow again!"
"Three bows!"
"Thank you to the family!"
Li Xiao first bowed at 45 degrees three times to the old man's body. Finally, Song Ruyue and the old woman bowed at 90 degrees in return.
Song Ruyue whispered a few words beside the old woman and walked to Li Xiao
"I didn't expect that Mr. Li Xiao would come so early."
Li Xiao sighed lightly
"I didn't expect that the last time we met was actually the last time we met. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well come early."
Song Ruyue also sighed. Indeed, she was obviously staying in the best hospital in Hangzhou and was about to be discharged.
"Things happen, accidents or tomorrow, you never know which one will come first."
"Mr. Li Xiao, please find a place to sit. My mother and I will host the funeral today. It will definitely not be a good reception. I would like to apologize to you in advance."
Li Xiao quickly waved his hand,
"How could it be? You should be busy first. By the way, my condolences are with you. I can just find a place to sit."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Li Xiao chose the corner seat and sat down.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people entered the venue.
Song Ruyue's colleagues, her mother's friends, her mother's relatives, all kinds of people, Li Xiao even saw a few people wearing traditional costumes of the Sakura Country.
The person taking the lead was similar in age to Yukinosuke Nukigo, but he was much more powerful. The following people who looked like his younger brothers followed him obediently.
What a few people were doing was not the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, but the worship of the Sakura Kingdom.
Li Xiao guessed that these people should be the old man's senior brothers, because Sakura Country seems to value this kind of relationship very much.
It is quite normal to come all the way to see someone off on their last journey.
People arrived quickly, but even so, the small auxiliary hall, which could only accommodate a hundred people, was not full, and the few empty seats seemed a bit shabby.
Song Ruyue stood on the stage and spoke at the funeral
"First of all, on behalf of my mother and I, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the leaders, guests, relatives, relatives and friends who attended the memorial service today!"
.......
The speech is very long, but compared to a person's decades, it seems very short.
The words are very gorgeous, and there are many things described, but I don't know how many of them will remain in people's memory after the banquet is over.
The sadness in Li Xiao's heart became stronger and stronger. Emotions are such wonderful things. The more they brew, the stronger they become.
"When my father came to the Han Dynasty for my mother, he gave up a lot of things and endured a lot of things."
"However, my father told me that he has never regretted it and would make the same choice if he had it to do again."
.......
"Here, I would like to thank all the guests again for coming. I hope you all have a happy life. After all, other than life and death, other things are just trivial matters."
At 2:30, Song Ruyue's long eulogy finally came to an end.
At 2:35, all guests stood up and bowed.
At 2:38, the body was put into the cremator.
At 3:38, the staff handed the urn to the family members.
Song Ruyue and Xingzhisuke's wife were already crying.
At 5:05, after some pleasantries, the guests began to leave.
In the sky, the clouds began to change from papyrus white to light gray.
The wind also started to get stronger, and my hair, which was styled with hairspray, was ruffled by the wind that came from nowhere and was blowing to where.
Standing on the side of the road, waiting for a taxi in boredom, after waiting for a long time, I suddenly remembered, how could a taxi pass by in this place?
I clicked Didi and it took twenty minutes before a car was summoned.
By coincidence, he turned out to be the driver just now.
Li Xiao was a little stunned. He looked up at the familiar colors on the car and subconsciously spoke.
"Is it 91-94?"
The driver sneered and said with some embarrassment
"Multiple platforms, multiple roads. Three melons and two dates are money, and they are all for living. I will give you a bottle of water later, so don't complain to me."
The reason why I say this is because most of the taxis are owned by companies. If you take orders privately on other platforms, you will be fined once it is verified.
Li Xiao nodded, indeed, who dares to say life is easy?
Taxis will encounter all kinds of difficult customers. In order to avoid going to the toilet twice, they dare not drink water.
In order to run one or two more orders, the delivery boy said he was sorry and rushed to the red light regardless of safety.
Sanitation workers braved the scorching sun to sweep the floor.
White-collar workers in office buildings work overtime, change plans, and get scolded.
Middle-level managers worry about whether they will be fired due to a mid-life crisis, worry about what difficult tasks will be assigned to them from above, and also consider how to train the people below them.
The boss is worried that the cost of materials will rise again. There are several more competitors in the market, and prices are starting to be suppressed again.
Everyone, no matter how high or low they are, whether they are noble or humble, actually has difficulties and has their own difficulties.
If you encounter a driver with a bad attitude, file a complaint if necessary.
If you encounter a rider who is too late, you should complain if you need to.
If you encounter an aunt who doesn't do a good job in hygiene, you should complain if you need to.
You can choose to let him go, or you can choose not to let him go.
It's not easy for everyone. You can't say that if you think it's not easy for you, you should ask others to let you go.
This is logically wrong. Letting you go depends only on the other person's wishes.
I'll let it go if I'm willing to, and don't brag about being kind and noble.
I don't want to let it go, so I don't want to let it go, and don't hold it hostage morally.
Li Xiao had no enmity with him, and the other party's attitude was also very low. Although he had not been sent in before, the matter was over and it was not a big deal.
Forget it.
After opening the car door and getting into the car, Li Xiao unbuttoned his coat, unbuttoned his collar, and sank into the back seat of the AE86.
On the radio station, there was still a female host with a smoky voice, talking carefully.
"Now, let me bring you a song."
"【goodbye】"
(With music, the reading environment will be better)
.....
"Those most sensational movie plots"
"They say love can transcend life and death, separation"
.....
Suddenly the mobile phone in my hand lit up.
[You have a new Weixin reminder]
Li Xiao clicked on it and saw a message from Jiang Yingxue.
"Li Xiao, I'm sorry, I don't dare to tell grandpa and the others that you have to cook at home for the Chinese New Year. After all..."
Jiang Yingxue used an ellipsis at the end and did not say what the content behind it was.
However, Li Xiao understood.
Yes, what is the relationship between two people?
What relationship do you have to make that meal?
Friend? Good friend? Or something?
However, even if they are good friends, what does it mean if a boy goes to a girl’s house to cook during the Chinese New Year?
After Li Xiao finished reading the message, he was speechless for a long time, and it started to rain outside the window.
The ticks fell on the white AE86.
The AE86's headlights are turned on, and the mechanically driven uplights have a different kind of retro charm.
Jiang Yingxue curled up in bed and looked at her phone nervously.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pressed the last ellipsis.
The green-white fingers stretched and contracted several times before pressing the green send button.
She was biting her nails, her mind going back and forth.
Although, they said, there is no need to be so anxious.
Although, they say, girls should be more reserved.
However, those are just the truths they said.
Other people's experiences are always theirs.
Why should you listen to other people's dictates of your own life?
Seeing that the message was sent successfully, Jiang Yingxue's heart lifted.
Li Xiao was not live broadcasting at this time. To be precise, he was not live broadcasting all day long.
And after 4 o'clock, even if it is lunch break, I should get up.
Sure enough, after the message was sent, within five seconds, the status of the message changed to read.
one second,
two seconds,
three seconds,
One minute,
two minutes,
Jiang Yingxue's green-white fingers tightened and then relaxed, then relaxed and tightened again.
There is a gray read reminder and the time in the upper right corner of the phone keeps beating.
The originally warm bed became colder and colder. It turned out that what I thought was a happy relationship was just my own wishful thinking?
Just when Jiang Yingxue's heart was about to freeze, her phone started to vibrate.
"I'm just an ordinary person among all living beings"
"Inside my youth and past"
"It's more about cowardice and inferiority"
"I don't dare to speak, I don't dare to care."
"Even I don't know what kind of person I am."
"I am as lonely as dust, like the sand in the corner"
"I will always hide in the corner and be inconspicuous"
"What I want is never a house or a car."
“But the sea and the sunset”
"It's that midsummer flower that never fades with you!"
"I don't want to regret missing it"
"I don't want to miss you in thousands of dreams"
"The flowers will bloom again and summer will come again."
"But, I want to watch every flower bloom and spend every midsummer with you."
"I might meet a lot of people"
"I may encounter a lot of things"
"But I don't want to miss you"
"I love you"
"I dare not make a promise"
"Because I know that all promises can be broken."
"I just want to see the scenery I like, eat the food I want, and make love with you."
"I'm just an ordinary boy"
“There are no wealthy families”
"But I believe that I have confidence and ability."
"Bringing you a better tomorrow."
"You are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower"
“I am responsible for making money to support my family.”
"I want to get up and see you"
“The kind I see every day”
“Not a day”
“Not two days”
“Not many days”
"Every day, I think about it every day"
"Will you stay with me?"
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
.....
one second,
two seconds,
three seconds,
One minute,
The messages changed from green unread to gray read.
Li Xiao also felt nervous.
I don't even know what I'm doing.
When I get excited for a moment, I will express my words and thoughts in my heart.
I threw it all out and saw that the last message turned gray as read.
He held his breath, he regretted it a little.
Are some of these words inappropriate?
Especially when it comes to waking up and seeing you, would it be too straightforward?
It was all due to Douyin's big data push. Li Xiao even suspected that Douyin had hijacked his mobile phone.
After learning that Yukinosuke died, I was in a bad mood, and my style of fighting sounds changed completely when I hid under the quilt at night.
From the original XXXXXX, it has all turned into the push of some copywriting and covers of some old songs.
Emotions were constantly heightened, exaggerated, and brewed, so that he who originally only wanted to watch two videos before going to bed ended up watching more than 3 o'clock.
It wasn't until the phone was hit on his face that Li Xiao had to angrily turn off the phone, which was about to run out of battery.
2 minutes,
3 minutes,
Li Xiao's heart began to sink. He didn't reply for so long.
Sure enough, he was too straightforward, did he scare Jiang Yingxue?
The sound of raindrops outside the car became louder and louder, and the light became darker and darker.
On the radio, the female host's voice sounded again,
The intermittent music reaches my ears again
(With music, the reading environment will be better)
...
“The way to lose someone is to get too close.”
"Then let's be fair"
"You come to me and I will firm you up"
"If you are happy, it doesn't matter if you forget about me."
