It’s Colder Today - Chapter 25
However, these words were more effective than anything else, and the person on the bed got up immediately. Putting on clothes, the speed is very fast, that is, a soy sauce bottle can be hung on the mouth.
After autumn, the temperature difference between day and night in the capital is a bit large. In a few days, the heating can be turned on.
Shi Yun didn’t like the winter in the capital, it was too long.
The front desk downstairs in the hotel has been replaced. When Shi Yun went downstairs, he was holding Wei Zongying’s arm. There were no tall buildings around, and the night wind blew straight in, rolling the fallen leaves on the ground, revealing his whereabouts.
Wei Congying pulled up the zipper of his coat, saw that she had no hat on the coat, the coat had no collar, and the inside had long sleeves and no collar. He put his arm around her shoulder: “Is it cold?”
It’s not bad.
The two of them had something to eat nearby. Originally, there were not many shops open at this time. Wei Congying said that there is a noodle shop here that is very good.
The mutton noodles in the store are the signature.
The noodles have just been cooked, and there are still a few customers in the store. They sit in the corner. Shi Yun took a few paper towels and patiently wiped the table several times: “Is this how you live these few days?”
Wei Congying came back with two cups of barley tea, and waited for Shi Yun to wipe the table clean before putting the two cups on the table. He didn’t know if his mood had improved, and he began to lose his tune again: “No, I ate it on the first day. The food is still much worse.”
Shi Yun threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can, took a habitual look at the teacup when he picked it up, and turned the opening of the cup to the other side before drinking: “It deserves it.”
Wei Congying was not angry: “You don’t feel sorry for me?”
“I don’t feel bad now.” Shi Yun drank most of the cup of tea.
The noodle was already out of the pot, and the boss told them to go over and serve it by themselves, and all this task was handed over to Wei Zongying. He didn’t think the bowl was too hot either, and came back with two bowls of noodles by himself.
There is also a plate of mutton with the same toppings. This bowl was brought by the proprietress of the back kitchen. Wei Congying put more than half of the mutton on the plate into Shi Yun’s bowl: “I feel sorry for you, you are also tired today.”
If you care about it, it still sounds like a change of taste.
Staring at him didn’t seem to do him any harm.
Shi Yun added a spoonful of chili to the noodles and sprinkled some coriander: “By the way, you have to send me back tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” After Wei Zong responded, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, checked the driving distance shown on the map, estimated the time, and set an alarm clock.
After setting the alarm clock, Wei Zongying stirred his face: “Still so busy recently?”
“I’m busy now, but our tutor said that we can take a vacation during the New Year. I don’t know if it will be a big cake for us.” The seniors and sisters said that after the new school year next year, they will either write papers or stay in the laboratory every day, and it will never be easier than it is now.
Wei Congying remembered that she was still at school during the summer vacation, and asked, “Are you going home for Chinese New Year?”
Shi Yun didn’t answer right away, because she didn’t know either. He chewed the mutton and noodles in his mouth, and after swallowing, he said, “Maybe I will go back for a day or two to see my grandparents.”
After eating the mutton noodles, Shi Yun felt warm.
The noodle shop looks unpretentious, but the taste is really good. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, and finally left the noodle shop with a full belch.
The plastic insulation curtain was lowered, and the noise in the store behind him was suddenly isolated from the silent street.
The street lights were blocked by trees along the street, and the surrounding area was empty. The wind blew across the huge wasteland behind, making howls like monsters.
But under the wind, she heard the roar of the engine and the screeching of tires.
She turned her head and looked around, as if looking for a racing track.
Wei Congying was a little hot after eating the noodles, and the zipper of his coat was pulled down a little bit. Seeing her shaking her head, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Yun habitually stretched his arms into his arms: “Is there a racing track here?”
“Yes.” Wei Congying raised his chin towards the west, thinking of what she said about her mother before, “Do you want to go and see?”
This was Shi Yun’s first time at the racing track.
The racing track was quite close to the hotel where he lived, and after a short walk to the west, he saw a building that was different from the gymnasium. The outside circle is surrounded by barbed wire, and half of the tallest building standing in the night is the auditorium.
The ticket checker at the gate saw the person coming up get up, and when he got closer and saw that it was Wei Zongying, he sat down again, nodded at him, and seemed to be quite familiar with him: “It’s a bit late today.”
Wei Congying threw him a cigarette: “What’s today?”
“It’s still the performance.” After the man took the cigarette, he put it behind his ear, saw Shi Yun behind Wei Congying, and smiled, “The performance was pretty good.”
But Wei Zongying’s expression didn’t look very happy.
Shi Yun followed Wei Zongying and walked in with him.
Shi Yun asked in a low voice, “Don’t we need to buy tickets?”
Wei Congying held her hand: “Your boyfriend and my face are the ticket.”
There was a lot of voices in the auditorium. In order to let the other party hear what they said clearly, the two got a little closer.
He stopped on the last step, put away his gag expression just now, and became a little serious: “Persist and see later, maybe you can overcome it.”
These words aroused Shi Yun’s curiosity.
Going up the steps, Shi Yun first saw the boiling people in the auditorium, Wei Congying took her by the hand and led her to the place with the best view.
Turning his head and looking down the field, the three cars were speeding on the black track at a fast speed. The screeching sound of drifting, accompanied by the roar of the engine, and the white smoke under the tires stimulated the audience from the sense of hearing, smell and vision.
Parallel to the limit, turn the head of the car to the limit, two cars move forward and the other reverses.
Now she finally knew what Wei Zongying meant on the steps.
The blood in Shi Yun’s body did not boil, and even dropped rapidly. She was different from those who shouted and booed, she only felt fear.
The hairs all over his body were about to stand up, and the toes in the shoes were curled up.
She couldn’t accept it.
That day was also the screeching sound of brakes, and she couldn’t open her eyes in the dazzling headlights.
After a whirlwind, she was dizzy. She heard the voice of her mother calling her. Amidst the redness, she slowly regained her eyesight, but what she saw was the steel bars passing through the windshield, and then her mother’s body penetrated by the steel bars.
It took a long time for Shi Yun to overcome the car versus the means of transportation, but she was still scared when she took the fast train, and her palms were sweating.
It was a painful memory, or maybe it was the guilt of going out despite my persuasion, which caused my mother to pick her up at night and get into a car accident.
Shi Yun knew that she was a bit disappointed, and she was leaving not long after she arrived. But looking at such a racing performance, she didn’t enjoy the whole body comfort brought by the extreme stimulation, only suffocation.
There is a limit to how many people there are. After a spring is pulled, there is no way to restore it to its original state.
Shi Yun felt that the limit of his recovery was to accept the car as a means of transportation again.
The two of them stood at the railing next to the second floor, Shi Yun’s hand tightly held the railing that reached to her chest, and the back of her hand was wrapped with one hand.
Wei Congying stood behind her and confined her between him and the railing: “Don’t be nervous, don’t worry. This group of people have performed many times, even with their eyes closed, they can open better than you.”
Shi Yun shook his head: “I can’t.”
“Total escape cannot be solved.”
However, just after he finished speaking, Shi Yun, who couldn’t leave, closed his eyes directly.
Didn’t Wei Cong think that she would be so afraid?
But he still plays racing, what should he do in the future?
Although her eyes were closed, she heard someone calling Wei Congying amidst the roaring sound.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a big belly, a dragon tattooed on his arm, and a black totem-like tattoo on the back of his neck.
Putting on a pair of slippers, he came over: “Someone said they saw you, so I’ll come over and take a look. What do you think about the thing I told you two days ago?”
The man gave out cigarettes to Wei Congying, and when he saw Wei Congying holding Shi Yun’s hand, he joked, “I said, why didn’t you come for a couple of rounds today? Your girlfriend is here?”
Wei Congying took the cigarette, didn’t ask for fire, because he didn’t intend to smoke, so he casually pinned it behind his ear: “Let’s talk about it in two days. My girlfriend is not in good health, so let’s go first.”
The man with the tattoo was a little disappointed: “Just come and leave? That’s fine, anyway, if you think about it, call me. The end of the year is over, so take your time to think about it, don’t worry.”
The two seemed to be talking about charades, and Shi Yun didn’t pay attention to their conversation, she just wanted to leave.
It wasn’t until she came out of the racing track that she felt her breathing eased.
She walked a little faster, not holding Wei Congying’s arm as before, and after walking alone for a long time, she stood outside the arena panting heavily. The palms of her hands were covered with cold sweat, and when she came back to her senses, one hand touched her neck, and the slender fingers pinched the flesh of the back of her neck.
“It’s okay to be so scared all the time.” He spoke as if to comfort him.
Shi Yun’s body was covered with fine sweat, and with that kind of psychological shadow, it was understandable for Shi Yun to feel that he would never get better for the rest of his life.
He is a thrill seeker, but Shi Yun is not.
She regrets her life.
She hates this kind of behavior that challenges the limit.
“I’m really afraid.” Shi Yun struggled a bit, and withdrew the hand pinching the back of his neck, “It was the same day, and you insisted on me driving.”
Seeing her throwing the pot like that, Wei Congying stood by and watched, but he was not angry. Seeing her frowning is like an angry kitten after being teased many times.
Moved his hands from the back of her neck and put them on her shoulders: “It’s okay, it’s all my fault.”
But after he finished speaking, he was all to blame. He led the people back to the hotel and muttered, “But you are curious about the racing track.”
The person who was originally slapped with the phrase “It’s all right, blame me” immediately blew up again: “If you want to comfort me, keep comforting me, and if you comfort me halfway, you will come to stimulate me. Fortunately, I didn’t sleep today. After coming out of the dormitory, thousands of miles are sent back to accept the anger.”
I was really happy to see her here today.
Hearing that she said that she had sent her off, he rubbed her shoulder with his palm, held her in his arms, and rested his chin on her head: “After you rest in two days, I will treat you to a big meal, okay?”
After Wei Zongying sent Shi Yun to the hospital the next day, he went back to his apartment and cleared the phone records of calls from Wei Mingcheng and his grandparents.
Take a good bath.
In the evening, he went to the appointment and had dinner with Shao Yuan and the others.
The location was chosen by Lin Fang, and the money was paid to Shao Yuan.
There are only four people in the box.
Lin Fang didn’t bring his girlfriend, after all, it will be a thing of the past in two days. Lin Fang’s promiscuity is more or less like Wei Zongying’s. Wei Zongying has persuaded him to fall in love, but these words have not been convincing from his mouth.
Four people asked for a big box.
Wei Cong should be the last one to arrive, probably to take advantage of it, even Jiang Xuyang came earlier than him today.
Meeting Wei Zongying again, Xiang Shaoyuan was somewhat embarrassed because of Liang Mengyi’s matter. Wei Congying was calm, and after taking a seat in the box, he asked him how his injury was.
“It’s nothing serious.” Shaking Shao Yuan’s shoulders and arms, “It’s just a skin injury.”
Lin Fang was the only ‘witness’ among the four people. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up vegetables. While picking up vegetables, he hurt Xiang Shaoyuan who was doing stretching exercises over there: “What can happen? I was hit by a fist On the ground, the passerby who was provoked, I think he was stupefied at the time, thought that Xiang Shaoyuan was from Pengci, and almost pinched him to give first aid.”
Xiang Shaoyuan: “Get lost.”
After scolding, he felt uneasy, and turned the disc to prevent Lin Fang from picking up vegetables.
Childish as a child.
The waiter opened the door and came in, interrupting the two men by asking if the food was to be served.
Jiang Xuyang didn’t join the two of them, and turned around to ask Wei Zongying: “I heard from Zhang Guangwei that you are going to participate in the Xunchuan competition?”
Wei Congying shook his head, and took down the ashtray on the disc in front of him: “Zhang Guangwei just mentioned a few words to me, but I haven’t agreed yet.”
Lin Fang heard it, and immediately gave up the “kindergarten battle” with Xiang Shaoyuan, and he became more energetic: “You’re going to race again, aren’t you? You **** healed and your scars forgot to hurt, you **** look Look at your arm, there’s such a **** scar, you forgot how you fell off the car on Zhou Zuo, didn’t you?”
If it is not long, it contains a very high amount of milk.
If Wei Congying was obedient and obedient, it would not be Wei Congying.
He will definitely go to the competition, but Shi Yun is in a bit of trouble. Seeing her like this, he can’t go without telling her. Tell her, she will probably be angry too, and the probability of a breakup is too high.
But give up?
Wei Cong should not be willing, he likes Shi Yun a little bit, but he still loves himself more.
There is no way to get the best of both worlds.
Wei Congying lit a cigarette, wondering how Jiang Xuyang knew that Zhang Guangwei had told him about the match.
Jiang Xuyang explained: “He saw you brought Shi Yun there, so he came to ask me on purpose. It seems that a female worker at the racing track originally asked him to ask for your phone number.”
Speaking of Shi Yun, he snapped his fingers at Shao Yuan and said, “It’s been a long time this time, we’ve been talking for several months.”
It’s been a long time.
I didn’t deliberately calculate the time, but now I look back and think that it has been several months.
They killed Xiang Shaoyuan for this meal.
Xiang Shaoyuan signed the form brought by the waiter, feeling pain in his heart: “Ah Cong’s birthday will be in half a month, I must eat it back.”
Shi Yuan looked at the calendar next to Shi Yun again, wondering how true the teacher’s words about the Chinese New Year holiday were. No one knows whether this sentence is the same as Pinduoduo’s slashing with a knife, and it is an act of a scumbag drawing big cakes.
They are a group of cheap labor, the lowest level of the hospital, and they are scolded every three days. Shi Yuan no longer wants to study for a Ph. D., she is muddling along now, looking forward to the big cake from her instructor.
In the end, without thinking about the possibility of annual leave, Shi Yuan picked up a small chicken leg with chopsticks and took a big bite: “By the way, tomorrow is the 19th, and I have two coffee coupons that are about to expire. I’ll treat you to a drink at the end of tomorrow.” coffee.”
Nineteenth…
“No.” Shi Yun smiled apologetically: “I have something to do tomorrow.”
What can be the matter?
The two of them are together every day for the past few days. When Shi Yun really has something to do, he also meets with her boyfriend, but every time she meets her boyfriend, she takes a rest, and she won’t rest tomorrow.
Shi Yuan thought for a long time, and finally remembered: “The nineteenth is your birthday.”
Suddenly realized: “So are you going on a date with your boyfriend tomorrow? I understand.”
Although the facts are completely different from Shi Yuan’s guess, Shi Yun didn’t even tell Wei Zongying that today is her birthday, but Shi Yun didn’t bother to explain to her.
The next day, she was busy in the hospital all day as usual, and received a call from her grandparents during lunch, saying that she wished her a happy birthday today, and asked her if she had longevity noodles today. He said he would ask He Sui to transfer a thousand yuan to her later.
Shi Yun didn’t eat anything in the morning, so he just ate some rice at noon to deal with the matter. Listening to the concern of her grandparents on the other end of the phone, she lied: “I’ve eaten, I went to eat noodles when I got up in the morning.”
People unconsciously learn the skill of reporting good news but not bad news. Not long after the phone call, when Shi Yun was busy in the department in the afternoon, he received a WeChat transfer from He Sui.
A thousand dollars.
There is one more new message.
Happy birthday to her.
She took the money, but didn’t return his birthday wishes.
After leaving the hospital, Shi Yun went to the flower shop next to the hospital and bought a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums. There was a wind today, which blew the wrapping paper in Shi Yun’s arms, and she held the flowers in her arms carefully.
Maybe because the destination was the cemetery, Shi Yun took a long taxi to wait for a driver who was willing to take her.
The driver didn’t say a word along the way, but as soon as she got into the car, he confirmed the tail number with her and reminded her to fasten her seat belt. Nothing more to say.
Shi Yun liked this silent atmosphere very much.
She got off the car two hundred meters away from the cemetery. The surrounding area of the cemetery was very quiet, with cedar trees planted along the road. The cedar trees climbed uphill and merged with the evergreens in the cemetery.
Shi Yun walked slowly towards the cemetery. He had already received a text message in his hand notifying him of automatic deduction, and the driver left without looking back.
Only then did she realize that it would be difficult to take a taxi back to this place later.
After walking only fifty meters with the bouquet in her arms, she saw an oncoming car.
On the hood of the black front, the goddess of victory with spread wings is very conspicuous.
Shi Yun could feel the speed of the car slowing down, and then it stopped steadily beside her. When the rear window was lowered, Shi Yun walked away.
She didn’t look back, but heard the sound of the car restarting.
She was already out of breath when she reached the entrance of the cemetery, and the tombstones stood there neatly, like well-trained troops. Shi Yun walked around two rows of tombstones with ease, passed a huge pine tree, and stopped in front of a square tombstone.
Someone came here not long ago, the same white chrysanthemum, and some fruits and food.
Shi Yun put the white chrysanthemum in his hand beside him, squatted down and looked at the photo on the tombstone at the same level, his eyes seemed to be equipped with switches, and tears fell instantly: “Mom, it’s my birthday today. Then come and have a look You, it was you who worked hard more than twenty years ago.”
I raised my hand to caress the photo on the tombstone. The marble was covered with the chill of late autumn and early winter. The smile of the person in the black and white photo was frozen at the moment the shutter was pressed.
A lot of words were clearly drafted when I went to work today, but Shi Yun sat by the tombstone and couldn’t say anything.
In the end she was still apologizing.
The cemetery was very quiet, the night owl was chirping, and the black shadow on the branch was observing the surroundings. The moon hangs in the sky, the moonlight is bright and clear, and everything in the four directions is dyed black.
When he got up, Shi Yun’s legs were a little numb.
While walking outside, she took out her mobile phone and started calling a taxi. When she got to the door, no one took the order. She had to add money, but still no one wanted to come.
Perhaps because he knew it was difficult to get a taxi, Shi Yun didn’t walk back quickly.
The phone’s battery is low, but it should last until she reaches the main road and continues to take a taxi.
When she came down from the steps, she could see the iron gate of the cemetery at a glance. Perhaps because of the environment, she always felt that the iron gate looked depressed.
There are two security guards in the cemetery, probably in shifts. Today, only one security guard is on patrol with a flashlight. It is a courageous job to do this job. The security guard saw Shi Yun coming out of it alone. Seeing that Shi Yun was young and his eyes were still red, the security guard did not continue to patrol , but used a flashlight to shine on the road under Shi Yun’s feet, and watched her walk to the door before continuing to work.
As soon as Shi Yun came out of the cemetery, he saw a car not far away.
The driver of the car she met when she came, stood outside the door, saw Shi Yun coming out of the cemetery, bowed to her and said hello, and opened the back door: “Miss, it’s not easy to take a taxi here. take you back.”
Shi Yun stood where she was and didn’t step forward, her stubborn temper made her think of walking away, even if she walked back to school today, she wouldn’t take his car. I can think of my mother who is resting in the cemetery behind me. My mother probably doesn’t want to see such a scene.
She walked slowly to the side of the car, took a deep breath, and got into the car.
There was another person in the back row of the car. They should have been waiting for him since just now.
Time has dyed his hair white, and it has been a long time since Shi Yun saw him last time. He wears a string of beads on his wrist, and a lady’s ring on the beads.
When Shi Yun got into the car and sat against the door, he turned his head and didn’t want to look at the people next to him. The driver asked her where she was going, and Shi Yun reported the school’s address.
The car started, and the street view outside the car window kept going backwards, and I couldn’t see anything clearly, and my eyes were prone to soreness. But she still tilted her head and stared at it. The three people in the car did not speak, and the driver drove very slowly and steadily.
The silence lasted until she arrived at the school. When she opened the door to get off the car, the keys in her pocket fell on the seat, and the person in the back row who had been silent all the way said, “Keys.”
Shi Yunmai stopped getting out of the car, and when he looked back for the key, he found the key in his hand.
When he took the key away from him, he said again: “I’ll go back to see your grandparents after the Chinese New Year, they miss you very much.”
“I thought you wouldn’t want me to go back.” Shi Yun took the key and left the car with a sentence.
The car door was not closed, and just as his feet stepped on the ground, his voice floated out of the car: “I don’t want to see you.”
When Shi Yun heard those words, she didn’t give any response, and walked straight towards the dormitory.
