few days in a row, Gu Xiaochen’s ear popped out of his low voice from time to time. Those three words are like nightmares. She is dreaming over and over again. That dream, good and bad, will make her wake up with a smile, and it will make her feel sorrowful and completely empty.
How this feels has never been felt before.
Every day an international long distance call, Wu Helian called her most of the time after work.
It seems to be not to disturb her work.
The conversation between them has always been short and concise, at most it is “have you eaten”, “what are you doing” and so on. Not much to talk about, he whispered “hang up” and hung up the phone without hesitation. She didn’t say much, but asked him why he hadn’t returned.
Although I was worried in my heart, did Aga have something unexpected?
But what is she qualified to ask.
After work, Gu Xiaochen wandered aimlessly in the street alone.
She didn’t want to go home, but she didn’t know where to go. I don’t know when it started. I was used to eating with him and holding hands for a walk. His warm, dry hands, his smirk smile, and the smell of tobacco mixed with cologne. Even if he was indifferent, she began to miss.
At 7 pm in Hong Kong, the neon lights shone.
Those lights, from afar, are connected into a sea of lights, like a way to guide people home.
Gu Xiaochen bought some food and filled his stomach. Butter bread doesn’t taste very good, it’s too sweet, she doesn’t particularly like it. Milk tea tastes good, very fragrant. She walked silently onto the flyover, carrying the satchel in her left hand and the cup of milk tea in her right hand.
Standing in the middle of the overpass, Gu Xiaochen looked over this wide road.
The endless stream of roads, the endless stream of vehicles, and the people walking in the city are expressionless.
“Beep —” The phone ringing vaguely from the package, Gu Xiaochen quickly took out his phone. She looked at the screen, and the expression of Weixi calmed down instantly. There was a faint smile on his face, and the phone was connected.
The phone call was from Shen Ruo.
It was very noisy over there, the clamor of music and the sound of easing, obviously there were many people. Shen Ruo told her that they had just completed a project and a group of people were celebrating at a PUB. She said the address of the PUB, and said that both Xudong and Yao Yongxin were there, and asked if she would come.
Gu Xiaochen listened to her energetic female voice and whispered, “No, you play. I won’t come.”
“Xiaochen, you wait. I let Sister Yongxin tell you.” Shen Ruoding screamed, the phone Immediately changed hands to Yao Yongxin.
Yong Yao quiet heart sounds nice, leisurely sounded, “Xiao Chen, Come.”
“Ode sister heart, I’m not coming.” Guxiao Chen embarrassed and said, “Next time we are together again now.”
“If so, then I Not reluctantly. Next time. “Yao Yongxin said with a smile, Gu Xiaochen said” en “, and ended the call.
Gu Xiaochen put the phone back in the shoulder bag, took a step, and walked toward the front.
The walkway of the overpass was lit with bright lights. From time to time someone passes by, couples working side by side, or students who come and go in a hurry.
Gu Xiaochen raised his head slowly, but saw a tall figure standing at the end of the aisle.
And that figure made her stunned, so familiar.
The man’s black hair, with a few strands of gold dyed in it, wore a blue shirt, throwing his suit jacket over his shoulder with one hand, and his posture was casual and chic. He looked sideways at the billboards on the wall, with mad faces. His eyes blinked without blinking, but his serious eyes were surprisingly persistent.
And this man is actually Wu Haoyang.
Gu Xiaochen looked at him in surprise, only two or three meters away from him. But Wu Haoyang didn’t see her like that, still staring at the billboard. She couldn’t help wondering what exactly was on the billboard, which would make him look like this, and in contrast, he always had a loose image.
Gu Xiaochen took his steps and walked towards him.
This is a billboard that is more than one meter high, and the lights brighten up the advertisement license plate.
On the billboard, it was a woman wearing a white ballet skirt. She is slender and very slim. The ballet shoes point at the tip of the shoe, with one hand stretched and the other hand stretched upwards and placed above the head. The black hair is curled up, she is wearing a princess crown, and her head is slightly sideways, revealing a beautiful neck curve, and her posture is beautiful.
And she has a beautiful and delicate face, just like the perfect masterpiece of God, dreamlike.
Just looking quietly, the beauty is so insulting to men and heartbreaking to women.
Gu Xiaochen was amazed by the dancers on the billboard and saw the subtitles line by line.
“The New York City Ballet of the United States arrived in Hong Kong, China, in June to perform the Tchaikovsky Ballet” Swan Lake. “
” The first Chinese lead dancer, Fangsheng-Song, appeared in the swan princess Ojeta. “
Chinese and English subtitles interlaced In front of him, Gu Xiaochen’s gaze instantly fixed.
Wu Haoyang slightly raised his lip corners and suddenly withdrew his eyes. He turned his head and saw Gu Xiaochen standing beside him. The footsteps that were about to take off stopped slightly, staring down at her.
“General Yang.” Gu Xiaochen turned to him and shouted politely.
Wu Haoyang stared at her and looked at her again, causing Gu Xiaochen to frown, even thinking that there was something dirty on his face.
But he raised a smile and suddenly said, “It’s so coincident.”
“Well, it’s quite coincident.” Gu Xiaochen said, not knowing what to say.
“Go home quickly, the girls don’t run around, and you are still alone.” Wu Haoyang said quietly, his voice calm and warm, without the spiciness of the past.
Gu Xiaochen nodded blankly, watching him walk quietly past him. He walked a few steps, a male voice drifted from behind his ears, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, vaguely, “Finally coming back.”
Looking at Wu Haoyang’s figure disappeared, Gu Xiaochen looked up in a trance and looked at the billboard again.
Song Fangsheng.
Gu Xiaochen was silently reading these three words in his heart, and there was a strange feeling. She squeezed her pocket, and the silver ring was still with her in her pocket, and she had not left.
…… The
lively PUB, the sound is full of ears, speaking is no longer talking, but shouting. A group of people went crazy and seemed to make trouble, feeling a little endless and a little venting. It’s no wonder that the busy days and nights of the past days finally took a breath, and of course it took a madness to stop.
A few big men who seemed to be quite serious drank and sang songs and were so cute and funny.
Shen Ruo was with several female colleagues who were playing wine orders.
Shen Ruo saw that Yao Yongxin had hung up the phone and looked at her and asked aloud, “Sister Yongxin, will Xiaochen come?”
Yao Yongxin shook his head and smiled at her slightly. She put her mobile phone on the coffee table and motioned her not to forget to take it. Seeing this, Shen Ruo didn’t say much and continued to play around. Yao Yongxin picked up the red wine, filled the glass in front of him with red wine, took a glass and handed it to him beside him, “Come for a glass.”
“Thank you.” Yan Xudong took the glass, but his warm and handsome face did not show haze , So clear. Everything is fine except for the slightest trace of perplexity. He sat quietly on the sofa and chatted with Yao Yongxin while drinking.
By the middle of the night, a group of talents had dispersed.
Out of the PUB, several people took a taxi and left. I knew I had to drink beforehand, so I didn’t drive over and just stopped at the company. Shen Ruo took a ride with several female colleagues and happened to be on the way, “Manager Yan, Sister Yongxin, then I’m gone. Bye. See you tomorrow.”
“Bye.” Yao Yongxin waved his hand and Yan Xudong nodded to her.
After the party broke up, Yan Xudong comfortably hugged Yao Yongxin and said generously, “I will send you home.”
“It’s good, I didn’t expect me to have a flower ambassador.” Yao Yongxin smiled, regardless of any men or women. No, that’s natural.
The two hit a car and got in one after the other.
The car was driving forward slowly, Yan Xudong glanced at Yao Yongxin, and asked casually, “What about your wind inspector.”
“Jingxin?” Yao Yongxin murmured the name of the scenery Xin, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, “I and him It ’s not that kind of relationship. “
They are more like confidants who share the same disease.
The car bumped all the way, and her head bumped against the window. He gently pulled her over and leaned against herself.
“Why are you doing this again?” Yan Xudong’s voice was low and rang in Jingyi’s car.
Yao Yongxin closed her eyes and only felt so tired that she wanted to sleep. She leaned against Yan Xudong and said to herself, “If I didn’t leave when I was a child, would I have a better chance? Why didn’t I think that when I left, someone would appear.
” Fool, you were so young then. You do n’t understand anything. “Yan Xudong caressed her gently.
“I always thought … I always thought …” Yao Yong’s eyelashes were trembling, very lonely, and he repeated the words “I always thought”, Youyou said, “I always thought … I would not like him … … “
” Yan Xin, you are tired. “Yan Xudong said lightly.
Yao Yongxin was really tired and sighed, “I want to sleep.”
Yan Xudong stared, silent.
Song Fangsheng, a woman they have never seen before.
Yan Xudong looked at the window, but the reflection on the glass was not himself. Such a soft and weak face, such a stubborn and serious temperament, what should she do.
…
what is it like to miss a person?
Maybe it’s like lemon, with astringency in the acid.
Work all day and get off work with colleagues. Or who is waiting for their call. She walked out of the company building silently, her feet stunned, just because she saw the long-lost figure.
He leaned against the body and was smoking, his posture unchanged.
All the uneasiness and uncertainty will disappear because of his appearance.
Gu Xiaochen squeezed his shoulder bag and ran to him in strides. She finally walked in front of him, raised her smile, and said softly, “Come back.”
Wu Helian stared at her deeply, stroked her face with her big hand, kissed her lips with her head down, and smiled visibly, “It seems you want to Me. “
Gu Xiaochen bit his lip and mumbled vigorously,” I don’t have it. “
” If you lie, you will be punished. “Wu Helian whispered in her ear, and she blushed again and helped her with a smile. Get in the car.
Gu Xiaochen knew that he was going to take her to dinner, which should be old rules.
After dinner, the two took a quiet walk nearby. Along the road are French plane trees, deciduous trees, and the breeze, which is very pleasant and romantic. Walking side by side, his big hand held her small hand all the way. Gu Xiaochen quietly put his other hand into the pocket of his clothes, and the ring was still there.
A small shop along the road, in front of a piano store.
The piano was lit with lights, and the darkness was warm.
Gu Xiaochen walked to the piano store and saw the piano in the store through the window. She suddenly thought that Wu Haoyang once said he would play the piano. But it seems that he has never seen him play by hand. At this moment, she looked at the piano in front of her, inexplicably eager, wanting to hear the music he played.
“Ahe.” Gu Xiaochen shouted and turned to look at him. “Will you play.”
Wu Helian said in a deep voice, “Want to listen?”
“En!” Gu Xiaochen nodded happily.
Wu Helian took her hand and walked into the piano store. The clerk hurried forward to greet, Wu Helian walked off his suit, Gu Xiaochen took it in his hand. He walked straight to the piano and sat on the piano chair. Slender fingers fell gently on the keyboard, and suddenly began to play, ups and downs.
The light was shining, and his profile was particularly dim and handsome.
Such Wu Helian, this piano song, played for her.
Gu Xiaochen looked at him quietly, although she didn’t know how he played, but she heard the piano song “Ode to Joy”.
The sound of the piano is ding dong, and the whole world seems to have only this ding.
No one noticed that the store door was pushed open.
The beautiful woman with long hair came in. She stood in front of the store, looking at the man playing piano in the store. The exquisite face was shocked for a moment, surprise and surprise.
“Miss Song, which address will the piano be delivered to?” The clerk’s cry rang.
Suddenly, the shouting broke the pleasant and romantic atmosphere in an instant.
Dingdong’s piano sound came to an abrupt end, his fingers still maintaining the movements he had played. But he straightened his back, without looking sideways or turning back. Wu Helian’s face became more and more hazy under the light. In Gu Xiaochen’s eyes, it was frozen for a long time, as if it had become a permanent lens, and this life could not be forgotten.
“Miss Song, the piano you want is here. Please look at the sound quality and fill in the address. We will send it to you tomorrow.” The clerk walked to the beautiful woman and said with a smile.
But the woman’s eyes were fixed on Wu Helian, who was sitting on the piano chair, and she didn’t look back for a long time. She moved her lips, but couldn’t make a sound. The bright big eyes were blurred for a moment, and his hand was loose, and the handbag in his hand fell on the ground like this, making a muffled noise.
“Miss Song?” The clerk shouted suspiciously, stooping down to pick up the handbag for her.
Gu Xiaochen was shocked by the muffled sound. She looked back and saw a woman wearing a plain skirt standing at the entrance. She has long hair, long and smooth, and the dim light can not hide the black gloss. Her eyes were round and bright, and she seemed to be able to speak even if there was no sound. Tall nose bridge, red lips pursed gently, and then raised the corner of the lips.
Her smile, like the spring breeze, faint, warm.
This woman … Gu Xiaochen felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. After thinking for a while, a picture suddenly appeared in her mind. Yes, that billboard, Wu Haoyang looked at the billboard for a while. She is the ballet leader on the billboard. Her name, Fangsheng-Song, Song Fangsheng.
“Sorry.” Song Fangsheng said softly, and took the bag from the clerk.
Wu Helian stood up and looked back slowly.
Gu Xiaochen had just stepped forward to hand him the suit jacket, but behind him came a soft cry from the woman. This title made Gu Xiaochen’s footsteps stop slightly, could not help being surprised, and looked at her again. The beautiful woman stood there, fragrant and beautiful, she smiled and shouted, “Ahe.”
Ahe.
Gu Xiaochen was stunned. This title seemed to be the only one she would call this way.
At this moment, I heard it from others.
Wu Helian glanced at Gu Xiaochen and swept towards the entrance. Seeing the woman standing at the entrance, his eyes narrowed, and then he could not find the fluctuations. The indifferent Junrong didn’t have any emotion, and he didn’t say anything, just nodded.
“I just came back yesterday.” Song Fangsheng walked forward a few steps, her voice was calm, but the hand holding the handbag tightly revealed her tension. She looked for the topic and said gently, “You also come to buy a piano?”
Wu Helian also said the same short words, “passing by.”
Song Fangsheng was slightly startled, and then noticed that there was another person in the shop.
She looked at her, a girl who looked very ordinary. Wearing a suit, with a smart haircut, and a pair of oversized glasses, it is clear that the office worker. She doesn’t have a beautiful appearance or a delicate figure. It is so ordinary that she can’t even make her think she is his secretary or assistant.
But now it’s off time, how can I be with my secretary and assistant.
Moreover, her hand was still holding his coat.
Song Fangsheng hesitated and asked softly, “Your friend?”
“There is something else, let’s go first.” Wu Helian said indifferently, reaching for Gu Xiaochen’s hand and walking past Song Fangsheng. Gu Xiaochen was too late to respond and was led by him out of the piano. She looked sideways at Wu Helian, only secretly guessing the relationship between them in her heart.
Song Fangsheng looked back at the window, and through the window, she saw their figures passing by.
“Miss Song …” the clerk shouted again, and Song Fangsheng said, “I’m sorry, I can fill in the address now.”
There was no words at all.
Wu Helian sent Gu Xiaochen to the downstairs of the building. He smoked and said, “Go up.”
Gu Xiaochen nodded and turned to walk a few steps. Suddenly, he turned back and said softly, “Would you like to go up for a cup of coffee?”
Wu Helian silently said,
“Sleep early.” “Good night.” Gu Xiaochen said with a smile, and finally walked to the building. Take the elevator upstairs and go back to the apartment where you live. As soon as the door closed, she sat on the sofa. I don’t know what it feels like, and I can’t tell. Obviously very happy, but actually a little empty.
She reached into her pocket, took out the ring, and looked quietly in front of her eyes.
…
that should be a knot in your heart. If no one tries to solve it, it will always be a knot.
Wu Haoyang’s attention, and the encounter in the piano line, made Gu Xiaochen even more confused. If it were not for Yan Xudong to ask her to drink afternoon tea, I am afraid she has never known who Song Fangsheng is and what she has to do with them. Did she and Ahe have any past?
“Xiao Chen, do you like ballets? I have tickets here.” Yan Xudong took out the two ballet tickets and put them on the table. He said, “A friend of Haoyang has returned home.” , She is the lead dancer of the ballet troupe and sent a few tickets. We all have, just come out, there is no place to send, you just take it. “
Gu Xiaochen looked down, it is the ticket for the performance of the New York City Ballet .
“Zhong Yang’s friend?” Gu Xiaochen asked, raising his eyes.
Yan Xudong took a sip of coffee and said with a deep voice, “
I am also a friend of Lian.” “It’s almost time, I should go. If you’re free, come and see.” Yan Xudong bought the bill and said hello. go with.
The lunch break is not over yet, so Gu Xiaochen is not in a hurry. Looking at the ballet tickets on the table, she was a little lost.
Song Fangsheng.
Before her, I met earlier.
How long ago was that? One year, two years, three years … or more.
