He lowered his head and pondered the meaning of these words.
She thought he had forgotten about it a long time ago, or that he didn't take it seriously at all. Moreover, Sang Zhi never saw him mention the matter of having a girlfriend, nor did she see him bring it to her.
Who was that at the airport before?
Sang Zhi looked at him again and couldn't help but ask: "What about the one before?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Which one."
"That's right." She didn't know if it would be weird for her to suddenly mention something so long ago. Sang Zhi played with her fingers and pretended to ask casually, "I came to Yihe when I was a freshman in high school and the sister who came to the airport with you."
"When you were a freshman in high school?"
"..." Sang Zhi struggled for a few seconds, and could only say something more precise to strengthen his memory, "The time I came here to find my online dating partner."
Duan Jiaxu remembered: "My boss."
Sang Zhi pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and continued to ask dryly: "Then why did she come with you?"
"I didn't know how to drive at that time," Duan Jiaxu couldn't remember clearly what happened three years ago, so he recalled, "And I seemed to have worked overtime all night that day, so I felt a little uncomfortable."
"..."
"When your brother called me, she happened to hear it and took me there." Duan Jiaxu looked sideways at her and added as if unintentionally, "My children are in elementary school."
Sang Zhi's thoughts were a little empty for a moment, and she suddenly remembered the extremely difficult period she had been in, and all the memories that she had sealed away in the box.
Thinking of her deliberate alienation.
Thinking of that secret love that she started unilaterally and ended unilaterally.
Sang Zhi nodded silently and asked absently: "Then why have you never found a partner?"
Duan Jiaxu said casually: "Isn't your brother also looking for him?"
"..." Sang Zhi thought of his roommate's words and said with a complex expression, "Then you can't just be waiting for my brother..."
Duan Jiaxu said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Sang Zhi whispered: "I just feel weird."
"I didn't have time when I just graduated," Duan Jiaxu said casually, "I have been introduced to several by my boss in the past two years, which is not suitable."
Sang Zhi said oh and didn't ask any more questions.
The plane took off and the stewardess was handing out blankets.
Sang Zhi asked her for one, put it on her head, and pretended to sleep. Her head was tilted to the side of the window, her eyes closed and opened, and then closed again quickly.
Like thinking about something.
Half a moment.
Sang Zhi lowered his head slightly.
The places that she thought were scars now felt as if they had been filled with honey. She pursed her lips hard, and the corners of her mouth hidden in the blanket still curved uncontrollably.
No sound.
The plane arrived in Yihe City.
Before getting off the plane, Sang Zhi heard the man named Yuan Lang ask Duan Jiaxu for his contact information. The two found a place to have lunch, and then Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school.
It was just after one o'clock, and Ning Wei was the only one in the dormitory.
Sang Zhi's dormitory didn't have an elevator and she lived on the third floor. Duan Jiaxu helped her carry her suitcase up to the dormitory and didn't stay long. He greeted Ning Wei politely and gave Sang Zhi a few words.
Leaving soon.
After he left, Ning Wei asked curiously: "In what capacity did he send you here?"
Sang Zhi squatted on the ground, opened his suitcase and started packing his things: "Senior, please."
"..." Ning Wei said, "Are you still an elder?"
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds: "Actually, I don't know much either."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wei immediately came over and blinked: "What happened?"
"I can't tell the difference right now," Sang Zhi thought for a moment and sounded a little hesitant, "because I feel like he talked like this before."
"ah?"
"But it doesn't seem to be the same."
"Did he say anything to you?"
Sang Zhi stopped and whispered: "He just told me that he hasn't been in love in the past few years. He said he didn't find the right one."
"Wait a minute, has he been in love before?" Ning Wei was shocked, "Isn't it possible?"
"I don't know about that." Sang Zhi said, "I can't ask so many questions."
"Then what do you mean when you say you can't tell the difference?"
"He used to talk like this when I was a kid. For example, he would drive me home, and then he would say why I was laughing secretly, or that I would blush when I saw him." Sang Zhi scratched his head, "He is quite a shameless person.
.”
"..."
"I feel like he's gotten a little worse recently." Sang Zhi breathed out and said slowly, "I can't tell the difference, you know. I feel like I might be too sentimental..."
Ning Wei: "Do you think he might also like you a little bit?"
"No." Sang Zhi immediately denied, "No."
"..."
Noticing Ning Wei's expression, Sang Zhi looked at her for several seconds, then suddenly lost his temper: "Okay, a little bit."
Ning Wei: "Why don't you even dare to say that you have this idea? Your conditions are not bad."
"Because I think it's impossible. Besides, I know it quite well." Sang Zhi said softly, "Because I like him, and because he has this kind of mentality, some of his actions are normal to him.
, I may also misinterpret the meaning."
"..."
Sang Zhi laughed: "I'm quite experienced."
secret crush.
Narcissistic, yet inferior.
"Besides, this relationship is not easy to change." Sang Zhi lowered his eyes and continued to pack his things, "If he was a stranger, I would probably chase him now. If I couldn't chase him, I would probably stop contacting him.
There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Ning Wei didn't quite understand how she felt, so she sighed and asked, "How many years have you not seen each other before you came to Yihe?"
"I feel like we haven't seen him much since the second grade of junior high school." Sang Zhi added, "After the second semester of the second grade of junior high school, he became very busy, and then he returned to Yihe."
"How old were you when you met him?"
"First semester of junior high school."
"Do you think he has watched you grow up, so it's impossible for him to have that thought?"
"Roughly the same."
"If you think so," Ning Wei said innocently, "you haven't seen him much since your second year in junior high school, and we didn't see him again until your freshman year. How can this be regarded as watching you grow up?"
"..."
It seems to make sense.
Sang Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he hesitated and said, "I've seen him several times in the meantime."
"It makes sense." Ning Wei said, "During the summer vacation of my senior year in high school, my dad brought a dog back to raise him. He was very attached to me for a month. When I went back during the winter vacation, he didn't even recognize me."
"..."
"Even a loyal animal like a dog is like this. You have only seen him a few times in the past few years. How can you look like he has grown up?" Ning Wei said, "At most, he is just a brother I met when I was young."
"But he gave me gifts," Sang Zhi said, "and he also usually asked me about my studies."
"Oh." Ning Wei said, "I can barely count myself as a netizen."
"..."
"I'm just saying what I think, just listen. My brother is also in junior high school now. If he has a friend that I know, I will treat him as a child." Ning Wei said, "When he grows up, if he grows up
You must be quite handsome, come and chase me."
Sang Zhi looked at her.
Ning Wei smiled and said: "I'm sorry, it's really possible...hehehehe..."
"Then what do you think," Sang Zhi said eagerly, "what should I do now?"
"Just let nature take its course." Ning Wei said, "Don't always think that he is older than you or anything like that. Just get along with each other normally. If he flirts with you, will you flirt back?"
Sang Zhi was a little depressed and nodded.
"By the way, what does it mean to get worse?" Ning Wei asked curiously, "Do you think the way we got along before was better, or the way we are now?"
Sang Zhi thought about it seriously: "I think recently, it's a bit, I don't know how to describe it..."
Inexplicably, she remembered Sang Yan's "love words that are so rubbish" and felt embarrassed to say them out, so she could only vaguely say: "The original ones were quite good."
After returning home, Duan Jiaxu checked WeChat.
Yuan Lang, whom he had just met on the plane, sent him a friend verification message. He glanced at it casually and exited without clicking the "agree" button.
Duan Jiaxu took a change of clothes, went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, then returned to the room and lay down on the bed to catch up on some sleep.
The cell phone rang at this moment.
Duan Jiaxu looked at the caller ID and picked up the call.
Qian Fei: "Have you arrived in Yihe?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Yeah."
Qian Fei was a little sad: "Once you go this time, how long will it take for us to see each other again?"
Duan Jiaxu laughed and said lazily: "If you weren't married, judging from your tone, I would have thought you had a crush on me."
"What?" Qian Fei said, "I thought you would move faster. When I get married this time, you can bring the girl you like over here so that the brothers can meet her."
Duan Jiaxu: "How can it be so fast?"
Qian Fei complained: "Don't you say you did a good job?"
"..." Mentioning this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyelids and sat up. He was a little speechless and coughed lightly, "It's better not to mention this."
"how?"
"Why do you think this little girl likes someone so weird?" Duan Jiaxu was speechless until he laughed, "I have never seen such a person before."
"ah?"
"Brother." Duan Jiaxu's eyebrows jumped when he thought of calling Sang Yan brother and Sang Zhi's reaction in the past few days. "Although it's quite interesting, I really--"
"..."
"It feels ridiculous."
"..." Qian Fei said, "Can you please stop tempting me?"
Duan Jiaxu lost his sleepiness, got up, sat in the living room, and took out a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table. He lit the cigarette butt with a lighter, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's really difficult."
Qian Fei was going crazy: "What!"
"The girl told me about the type I like." Duan Jiaxu chewed on his cigarette with a lazy expression, "I've learned a lot during this time."
Qian Fei said in disbelief: "Are you okay? Why do you imitate others?"
Duan Jiaxu chuckled: "Isn't this a shortcut?"
Qian Fei: "Useful?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows: "It's really useless."
Qian Fei: "What's your plan?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Let's talk about it later."
"Aren't you afraid that this girl will fall in love with someone else?"
"This is not quite normal." Duan Jiaxu twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Just meet a better person."
"Why do you live like a monk?"
"..."
Qian Fei said sincerely: "Can't you just come as a normal person? Is what you learned different from the substitutes? Brother, it's not like our conditions are so bad, why do we still have to please people like this?"
Duan Jiaxu sat up straight and tapped his fingertips to shake off the ashes. He said nothing.
Qian Fei: "By the way, what type is that girl talking about?"
This time Duan Jiaxu didn't hide it: "A male vixen."
"..."
"According to my understanding, it's probably," Duan Jiaxu paused for a few seconds and said leisurely, "a combination of coquettish, dissolute, and shameless."
Qian Fei couldn't help but said: "Isn't this about you?"
"..." Duan Jiaxu choked on the cigarette and coughed a few times, "What are you talking about?"
"Let me ask you something," Qian Fei thought seriously for a moment and said sincerely, "After all, I have never seen the girl you are talking about. Think about it for yourself, is it possible that she is talking about you?"
Duan Jiaxu's expression paused.
"Women always mean what they say." Qian Fei said as if he had experienced it before, "You can't just believe what she says. You have to observe it yourself. She said there is this person, have you seen it?"
Duan Jiaxu put out the cigarette butt and looked thoughtful.
Qian Fei: "I used to be someone's backup when I was in college. Brother, do you remember? The one from the foreign language department came to me as soon as I broke up with my boyfriend. After we got back together, she asked me if I had anyone I liked. She gave me advice.
, I made one up based on her character."
Half a moment.
Duan Jiaxu said: "It's unlikely."
"..."
After a few seconds, he murmured again: "But it's possible."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, my wife called me." Qian Fei said, "Also, let me remind you, you are already like that, so don't do it deliberately."
"..."
"Otherwise it will be a bit too hard."
"..." Duan Jiaxu said, "Wait a moment."
"what."
"Have you told anyone else about this?"
Qian Fei chuckled: "No, it's not too late, isn't it?"
"Stop talking about it now." Duan Jiaxu said slowly, "It's rare for me to tell you something that's on my mind. I always tell others -"
"..."
"It's quite sad."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Jiaxu sat in the living room for a while. He thought about what Sang Zhi said when he was drunk, and began to think about things to go forward.
But it's been a while, and the memory has faded a lot.
He stayed up late last night and got up early today. Duan Jiaxu's temples were tight and a little painful. He stood up and stopped thinking about this matter.
Duan Jiaxu returned to the room, heard his cell phone ringing, and glanced at it again.
I found another friend who verified me, and the note said: I am Jiang Ying.
He covered the phone, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
What woke him up was a series of phone rings.
Duan Jiaxu sat up and saw that the sky outside had darkened. The room was dark, with only the screen of his mobile phone lighting up.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number from Yihe City.
Duan Jiaxu stared at it for two seconds and then picked up.
Jiang Ying's cry instantly rang out from the receiver, as if she had been drunk. She sounded dazed: "Duan Jiaxu, you finally answered my call... I have to use someone else's number to find you."
"..."
"I heard Yuan Lang say that you are chasing a girl... is it true?"
Duan Jiaxu's tone was emotionless: "What's wrong with you?"
"I live like this, why do you pretend that nothing happened?" Jiang Ying said, "I...can I forgive you? We two, we two..."
"Let me ask you something, Yuan Lang said that we are getting married? Did you say that?" Duan Jiaxu interrupted her and said casually, "Is it possible that you want me to marry you?"
Silence fell, after a few seconds.
Jiang Ying whispered: "Isn't it possible?"
Duan Jiaxu's lips curled up and he hung up the phone. He stood up, found a tool, pulled out the phone card, broke it, and threw it into the trash can.
His temples hurt suddenly, and his stomach also ached.
Duan Jiaxu entered the toilet.
As if feeling extremely nauseous, he bent down and spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water for no apparent reason. Duan Jiaxu turned on the faucet, rinsed his mouth, and washed his face with cold water.
a long time.
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.
Suddenly he smiled.
Do you believe?
These days, some people still think that.
Such things as crimes should be punished together.
There are obviously a lot more classes in the second semester of freshman year. Sang Zhi's class schedule is full, and there is not much free time during the week except weekends.
After the New Year, Duan Jiaxu seemed to be busy with his work, working overtime day and night.
The two of them have their own affairs, and their communication is basically through WeChat.
Even though Ning Wei said that, Sang Zhi's interaction with him remained the same as before. Perhaps because of the screen, he no longer said some inexplicable words like before.
In the blink of an eye, March has come to an end.
The two made an appointment to have dinner together on Friday night. After class, Sang Zhi went back to the dormitory to put away her things. When she was about to go out, Duan Jiaxu called her.
Sang Zhi picked it up, took out the lipstick from her bag, and applied a thin layer on her lips.
"Where are you now?" Duan Jiaxu said, "The team suddenly said they would have a dinner party."
Sang Zhi stopped and guessed, "Then I don't have to go out?"
Duan Jiaxu said casually: "I'm not here to ask your opinion. If you don't want to eat with them, just don't go. Let's eat something else."
"It's okay." Sang Zhi didn't mind eating anything. "Go ahead."
"Then come out." Duan Jiaxu said, "I'm at the door."
Sang Zhi hung up the phone and straightened her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror a few more times, then quickly went out and walked towards the school gate.
Duan Jiaxu's car was parked outside the school.
Sang Zhi sat on it and said hello to him: "Brother Jiaxu."
We haven't seen each other for a month. Duan Jiaxu's hair has grown a little longer, covering his eyebrows slightly. His face is cold and white, with a layer of blue-grey under his eyes. It looks like he stayed up a lot of nights and lacked sleep.
Duan Jiaxu hummed, glanced at her, and started the car.
Sang Zhi: "Have you decided on a place for the dinner?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Just go back to that hot pot restaurant."
Sang Zhi nodded.
She didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and played with her phone. After a while, Duan Jiaxu took the initiative and said, "There are a lot of classes recently?"
"That's right." Sang Zhi said, "The class schedule is full from Monday to Friday."
"Pay attention to yourself and rest."
"oh."
After a while, Duan Jiaxu asked slowly: "Are you still looking for that male vixen?"
"..." Sang Zhi didn't know how to answer, "Why do you ask this?"
Duan Jiaxu smiled: "Let's chat casually."
Sang Zhi didn't say anything and continued to play on her phone.
Duan Jiaxu: "The person you are talking about is from your school?"
Sang Zhi said honestly: "No."
"Then who else can you know?"
"..." Seeing that he was still talking, Sang Zhi was a little afraid that something would be exposed, so he turned off the screen and stumbled over his words, "Just, I met him outside school."
Duan Jiaxu: "That's it."
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window.
Duan Jiaxu asked again: "How did we know each other?"
"..."
Suffocated.
Where did he come from with so many problems?
Sang Zhi gritted her teeth and said calmly: "We met when we went out to play."
Duan Jiaxu: "Where did we meet?"
"It seems, it seems," Sang Zhi said hesitantly, "a bar, a bar near my school..."
Duan Jiaxu looked ahead, thinking that he would meet her again outside the small door of the KTV. He suddenly curved his lips and slowly released a bait: "Really? Why did I hear you say yes when you were drunk?
We met at ktv.”
"..." Sang Zhi was stunned.
Did she really say anything?
She! Really! Drink! Break! Piece!
Sang Zhi was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She didn't dare to look at him, licked her lips and changed her words: "Oh, it seems to be a ktv, I remembered it wrong."
There was silence for several seconds.
Then, Sang Zhi heard Duan Jiaxu suddenly burst into laughter.
Sang Zhi immediately looked at him, feeling a little guilty: "What's wrong?"
Duan Jiaxu was still smiling, with a slight breath. He seemed to be in a very good mood, his peach blossom eyes were bright and bright, and he raised his head slightly: "It's nothing."
"..."
"I suddenly felt," Duan Jiaxu reluctantly suppressed his smile and whispered, "Brother Qian Fei is quite smart."
"..."
