It’s Colder Today - Chapter 37

Shi Yun found that Ji Yanli was very curious about Wei Zongying recently, and she didn’t want to mention more about Wei Zongying.

But he was just curious.

Curious why the two of them broke up, and when he learned that Shi Yun had proposed it on his own initiative, he wondered why Shi Yun would give up such a boy and fall in love with him instead.

Shi Yun told him not to belittle himself, and he was also very good.

But Ji Yanli is just curious.

It wasn’t until Shi Yun really got angry with him once that he finally stopped asking.

But instead of asking, it brought Ji Yanli a greater sense of insecurity.

On New Year’s Day, Shi Yun was going to go back to see his grandparents, and happened to run into He Sui bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents. A good thing is a good thing, but Shi Yun’s ears would be nagged.

All of the same year.

He Sui, who is at the opposite door, is in a relationship and brought his girlfriend home, but Shi Yun hasn’t moved at all here, how can an elder not be in a hurry.

In the end, when Ji Yanli called Shi Yun at night, grandma accidentally overheard her. The phone hadn’t hung up yet, and grandma asked her if she was her boyfriend. She couldn’t deny it.

So grandma urged Shi Yun to bring her boyfriend back to have a look during the Chinese New Year.

Shi Yun didn’t take this sentence to heart.

On New Year’s Day, she stayed at her grandparents’ house for two days. The persimmon tree in the yard had snowed, and she could still see the mulberry tree in He Sui’s house that was more than twenty years old when she lay on the window sill and looked towards the opposite yard.

It’s a holiday again, and it’s a holiday that is exaggerated as a family reunion. Shi Yun avoided the morning when she might meet her father. After hearing that there was no sound downstairs, she walked to the window and watched him leave before going downstairs by herself.

Before leaving, grandma sent her out. Shi Yun was afraid that the road would be slippery in the snow, so she told grandma not to send her out. There was heating at home, but it was snowing and cold outside.

Grandma had no choice but to send her to the gate of the yard, put her hand on the old wooden door, and reminded Shi Yun to bring her boyfriend back during the Chinese New Year.

When he said this, the door to the courtyard opposite happened to open, and it was He Sui and his girlfriend who were about to return home.

He Sui called grandma, and then his girlfriend cleverly followed He Sui and called grandma too.

After calling people, He Sui heard Grandma Shi Yun’s words, and asked Shi Yun half-jokingly: “Oh, are you finally in love?”

Shi Yun said goodbye to his grandma, and didn’t save him any face because his girlfriend was by his side. Glancing at him, she didn’t bother to talk to him.

He Sui didn’t care, and said old-fashionedly: “You’re not too young, you can find someone.”

Then deliberately revealed to Grandma Shi Yun with a sense of revenge: “Grandma, you don’t know that Chu Yue at the entrance of the alley is in love.”

They are about the same age.

After the news of Chu Yue’s falling in love was known to her grandma, Shi Yun could feel the anxiety value of grandma’s huge energy in an instant.

Good guy, co-authored on purpose.

Shi Yun didn’t bring her boyfriend back for the Chinese New Year, and it feels like the New Year is not going well.

Now the culprit is happily holding his girlfriend’s hand and walking beside him, smiling meanly.

After He Sui caused ‘trouble’ for her, he found out with a little conscience and said that he wanted to send her back to school.

On the way, Shiyun introduced himself to his girlfriend.

“When do you have time to bring your boyfriend, let’s have a meal together.” He Sui followed the navigation and drove towards Shi Yun’s dormitory. While observing the car condition, he was distracted talking to them.

Shi Yun refused: “What meal will I have with you?”

He Sui: “I’ll give you palm eyes.”

Shi Yun hurt him: “It’s just your eyes that everyone came to find fault with and couldn’t pass the novice training, come on.”

After he separated from He Sui and his girlfriend that day, what Shi Yun did every day remained the same.

The library, laboratory and dormitory are three points and one line.

Ji Yanli came to see her several times, and the two sat in the library studying together.

Shi Yun is working on his dissertation, and he is preparing for an interview recently. He wants to stay in the capital, and he has a company he likes before he graduates.

Shi Yun casually cared about the company he was interviewing for, and she was taken aback when she heard the name of the company, but just asked him to work hard.

Ji Yanli also encouraged himself: “But the planning department I want to interview heard that they won’t be recruiting interns this year, so I’ll give it a try then.”

The air conditioner in the library was fully blown, Shi Yun was wearing a sweater and was sweating all over, and the cold water with ice cubes in the thermos had bottomed out.

Ji Yanli folded a small fan out of draft paper to fan her, and seeing that she was still hot, he ran to the coffee shop downstairs to buy her a cup of coffee.

Shi Yun took it in his hand and touched the drink. It was not ice, but room temperature.

Ji Yanli picked up the small fan on the table and continued to fan her: “In winter, no matter how hot it is, drink less ice.”

These words and actions caused Shi Yun to stare into his eyes for a long time.

Ji Yanli patted her on the head with a small paper fan in embarrassment, reminding her to continue working on the paper.

Halfway through the writing, the computer broke down again. It was the same problem last time. I didn’t expect to send it for repairs and still have the same problem.

Ji Yanli moved the computer in front of himself, and Shi Yun saw that he was good at it, so he went to the toilet halfway.

Before leaving, the phone was vibrating, it was He Sui.

[He Sui]: I recently got a coupon for a hot pot restaurant with four of us.

[He Sui]: Bring your boyfriend, I’ll bring my girlfriend, let’s have a hot pot together, I’ll treat you.

Shi Yun looked at his message and walked towards the toilet with his mobile phone.

[Shi Yun]: No.

[He Sui]: Why don’t you come? Let me help you hold your eyes, the coupon will expire soon, see you next Wednesday.

Then he sent Shi Yun the location of the hot pot restaurant.

Shi Yun didn’t agree or reply to his last message.

If Ji Yanli didn’t come today, Shi Yun planned to eat something casually, but he deliberately took a rest to come to him, and he stayed in the library for another day, so it’s really embarrassing to be perfunctory for dinner.

The two went to the nearby shopping mall to have a barbecue.

Shi Yun turned over the barbecue on the grid with a tong, and after a while, the tong in his hand changed hands.

Ji Yanli turned over the remaining pieces of meat one by one, and put the roasted meat into Shi Yun’s barbecue plate first.

Shi Yun wrapped the meat with lettuce and dipped it in barbecue sauce, one bite at a time.

The person opposite to the barbecue said suddenly: “I’m sorry.”

Shi Yun was suspicious.

I just heard him continue to say: “When I helped you get the computer, because you didn’t log out of WeChat, I saw the message your friend sent you.”

Shi Yun realized that he should be talking about He Sui.

Ji Yanli gave her the meat: “Why don’t you take me there? Because I can’t take it?”

Shi Yun stopped chewing, and she looked at the person opposite, whose upper half face was very similar to that person. She knew the consequences of taking him to see He Sui, and suddenly the phone placed on the table vibrated.

It is the push of news software.

“…On January 17, ‘Utai’, the leader of the human trafficking organization that once caused a sensation in the world, will be executed on April 30 this year under the condition that the result of the second trial remains unchanged. It is reported that Utai was killed in Kokang, Myanmar three years ago After being arrested…”

Shi Yun looked at the short paragraph pushed by the software, the smell of barbecue meat in his mouth was gone, and the bitter taste of lettuce was left when he chewed again.

This message gave Shi Yun a wake-up call, the person in front of him was not him after all. No matter how similar her eyebrows and eyes are, even if she tries her best to find the shadow of that person in these eyes, it’s just a mirror image.

The meat on the grill made a sizzling sound, and Shi Yun looked away from his phone.

After the phone screen turned on, it automatically went dark again. After swallowing the vegetables and meat in his mouth, Shi Yun had a serious expression on his face: “Do you really want to see me?”

Ji Yanli nodded: “I want to know everything about you.”

Perhaps it was because the insecurity brought to him by his native family was too strong. His mother abandoned him and his father at that time, and Ji Yanli had low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence, and he also lacked a sense of security.

He even feels that he is not worthy of beautiful people and things.

Looking at the person opposite, Shi Yun was silent for a while before saying, “Okay, I’ll send you the time and place.”

On the day of eating hot pot, Shi Yun arrived first, and Ji Yanli had an impromptu meeting in the afternoon. After she gave him the address, she went to the hot pot restaurant by herself.

The location of the hot pot restaurant is easy to find. After Shi Yun reported the table number that He Sui had told her, she was led inside by the waiter.

He and his girlfriend have arrived.

Shi Yun took off his coat: “He was called to a meeting by his tutor in the afternoon, he will come over later, if he is hungry, we will eat first.”

He Sui’s girlfriend Ning Yanyi handed the fruit plate to Shi Yun: “It’s okay, just wait a while anyway.”

Shi Yun didn’t feel much hostility towards Ning Yanyi, maybe He Sui had told her all about the past. The three chatted casually before Ji Yanli came.

Most of the time, they still talk about their childhood, such as the mulberry tree in their yard, or He Sui used to drive Shi Yun in a battery car, and as a result, he broke Shi Yun’s leg and broke his bones.

He Sui’s girlfriend likes to hear these interesting childhood stories. But Shi Yun didn’t like to tell it very much, because there was another person as the protagonist in these stories.

For example, who caught her after she fell off the mulberry tree, and who helped her pick a basket of mulberries after scolding her for picking them.

For example, after she fell off the battery car with He Sui, who replaced the useless He Sui to carry her to school every day.

And this person is absent.

“…You don’t know, when I was driving a battery car and took Shiyun to wrestle, it was because the car coming out of the corner was too slow. He let me and I let him. I didn’t know why my thoughts slipped, and I forgot to put my feet on the ground. Then we fell because the speed of the car was too slow. Do you know the result? The driver thought we were here to blackmail people, and he blamed me when he got out of the car, saying that he drove so slowly that we could still fall. I was As soon as I heard that, I was not convinced, I jumped up from the ground, I quarreled with him, and told him that we fell because he was driving too slowly.”

He Sui spoke vividly there.

Shi Yun also felt angry and funny: “At that time, there were a lot of people watching. I lay on the ground because my leg was broken and I couldn’t get up. He fell on his **** and nothing happened. He didn’t say anything and came to help me up, just over there and The driver was arguing. I lay on the ground and was surrounded by people watching him and the driver arguing.”

Ning Yanyi laughed unconscionably upon hearing this, and covered her mouth: “Should I not be so happy?”

Shi Yun: “It’s okay, anyway, everyone will laugh once they hear this story.”

When Ji Yanli came, he could see them chatting and laughing from a distance. The waiter was leading him the way in front, making gestures of inviting him, and then holding his headset, he didn’t know which colleague he was communicating with.

Waiter: “Table 17 is here, sir, please…”

A very ordinary four-seater, with two couches on both sides, and a four-seater for two people on the couch. The bottom of the pot was not served yet, the three of them sat there chatting and waiting for him.

When Ji Yanli walked over, he first saw Shi Yun facing him, and opposite Shi Yun were two lovers, a man and a woman with their backs to him.

The laughter hadn’t disappeared when he walked in, and he sat down next to Shi Yun, just as he raised his hand in greeting, Ji Yanli found that the smile of the boy opposite him froze.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

I don’t know whether to let go of the hand that wants to say hello.

The waiter came over with the menu blindly and asked if he wanted to order. It’s just that none of the four people at the table answered him,

Shi Yun looked at He Sui, and his reaction did not surprise her at all. She took the initiative to introduce: “This is my boyfriend, Ji Yanli. This is my friend He Sui, and this is He Sui’s girlfriend Ning Yanyi.”

Ji Yanli: “Hello.”

However, neither of the two people on the other side responded to him.

Ning Yanyi wanted to say ‘Hello’, but couldn’t. Looking at Ji Yanli who was facing him in shock, he always felt that this face was extremely familiar, a little bit like He Sui’s.

The eyes flowed back and forth between Ji Yanli and He Sui, and finally Ning Yanyi looked at Shi Yun who was opposite, and she could feel the increasing anger of He Sui who was sitting next to her.

It was noisy all around, which made the quietness of their table extraordinarily eerie.

In the eerie silence, He Sui was the first to break through.

“Shi Yun, come out with me.” He Sui looked at Ji Yanli, and finally looked away, but he didn’t look at Shi Yun, and walked out of the hot pot restaurant, the suppressed anger on his body was obvious.

Ji Yanli looked at Shi Yun with some puzzlement, but she just smiled at herself, then moved sideways.

He Sui walked quickly in front, not caring whether Shi Yun behind him would follow, he followed the signs to find the fire escape.

He Sui pushed the door open, and it was pitch black inside. With the sound of opening the door, the voice-activated sensor light turns on.

The inside of the fire exit was very quiet, dust covered everything here, and it seemed that no one had come here for a long time, and the smell of cement had not dissipated because there was no good ventilation.

When Shi Yun walked in, the fire escape door that closed automatically behind him closed.

“Are you disgusted?” He Sui asked.

His voice echoed in the empty fire escape, and the echoes over and over again seemed to be that everything around her was questioning her.

Ask her if she is disgusting.

When Shi Yun met He Sui’s angry face, she seemed to be pretending to be stupid, and asked, “Don’t you think so? I think he looks a lot like him.”

“So, don’t you think you’re disgusting?” He Sui pointed at the door of the fire escape, “Finding such a person, don’t you think you’re disgusting and hateful? What did he do wrong? What did he do wrong? To be liked by you as a substitute?”

He Sui yelled at her, with veins bulging on his forehead and neck, obviously he was the murderer, but he collapsed before Shi Yun. It was sympathy for Shi Yun, but also anger at him.

He took a deep breath and didn’t let himself cry. He Sui passed by Shi Yun, and stretched out his hand to open the door of the fire escape. The door opened, and the noise outside the mall immediately drifted into the silent fire escape.

“Shi Yun, you know it’s impossible.”

In the end, he said such a sentence, and then the door of the fire escape was slammed shut.

The closed door made the fire exit quiet again, and Shi Yun didn’t know how long he stood there until the lights went out.

She went out from the fire escape with red eyes, and Ji Yanli stood not far away holding her clothes and bag. He Sui and Ning Yanyi have already gone back.

The dinner was a waste of time. They came out of the shopping mall without taking a taxi. They walked around to the capital’s moat behind the shopping mall. The street lamps illuminating the health trail next to it couldn’t find the moat. They could only see a piece of black lying in the river bed.

The wind was a bit strong tonight, Shi Yun and Ji Yanli walked slowly along the moat, the wind blew the nose and Shi Yun’s eyes red.

They didn’t hold hands, and the two of them watched the road under their feet, only the fabric of their coats touched from time to time.

In the end, it was Ji Yanli who broke the silence between the two of them. He opened his mouth and watched the white gas come out of his mouth, as if he was smoking a cigarette.

“I’m a bit like your hair boy.”

When Shi Yun heard his words, he paused. The people beside them were still walking forward, they changed from side by side to one behind the other.

“Maybe, a little bit.”

Ji Yanli clenched his hands in his pockets a little bit: “So it’s because I look like you that you were with me when you were young?”

Saying that Ji Yanli turned around and looked at Shi Yun who was a few steps behind him, he added: “Answer me honestly, don’t lie. You are with me because you treat me as your little girl.” Is it a stand-in?”

Shi Yun looked at him, and suddenly a snowflake fell into his sight.

From patch to patch, she looked up at the night sky, unable to see where the snowflakes were coming from.

Looking up, snowflakes fell on the corners of her eyes. She blinked, but the eyes were irritated and she secreted physiological tears. Shi Yun moved his somewhat dry lips: “No.”

The answer is ‘no’.

Ji Yanli was a little overjoyed in an instant with the surge of joy that he didn’t believe.

But the torch of joy did not hold high for a long time. She carried the wind and rain and extinguished the torch in an instant. Shi Yun’s expression remained unchanged and her movements remained unchanged. She continued, “You are more like his brother than him. His brother is my first love.”

Life has returned to the previous mode, and Shi Yun is still either in the library or in the laboratory.

When you get tired of writing a thesis, go to the second floor to read the collection of poems.

She liked the unique smell of ink and dust in the library, and the cleaning lady lowered her head and mopped the floor as if ignoring everything.

Shi Yun leaned against a place that would not interfere with other people’s search for books or auntie’s cleaning, flipping through Zhu Zhu’s poetry collection, and suddenly patted her shoulder with one hand, Shi Yun turned around and saw that it was Fu Jing.

They went to the coffee shop in the library, Shi Yun ordered two cups of latte. The two randomly found an empty seat. Naturally, Fu Jing had nothing else to do when he came to see her, Shi Yun immediately guessed that it must be about Ji Yanli.

Fu Jing said that Ji Yanli called him last night, and the voice on the other end of the phone was broken. Because Ji Yanli was not in the right state at that time, Fu Jing did not understand the cause and effect of the matter well.

All I could hear was what Ji Yanli said on the other end of the phone when Shiyun used him as a stand-in.

They are located by the window, and they can see the artificial lake in the school when they turn their heads. Next to the artificial lake is a weeping willow with a crooked neck and a row of stone benches. In the early years, when the old campus had not been renovated for the first time, there were several dormitory buildings nearby. At that time, there were always students hanging quilts on those stone benches.

Later, because of the appearance of the campus, the school did not allow students to hang quilts here.

Shi Yun looked at the cat napping under the willow tree, and the sun shone on her through the window.

Her pupils were photographed like transparent brown glass beads, and the fine suede on her face became a gold border that outlined her face.

A small drop of water rolled down the wall of the iced latte cup, and when you picked up the cup, you could see a small circle of water stains falling on the table.

“Why do you think someone would look for a substitute?” Shi Yun said, averting his gaze from the window, and turned to look at Fu Jing opposite.

She was waiting for Fu Jing’s answer, but he shook his head, expressing that he didn’t know.

Shi Yun continued: “It’s because people can’t be made into specimens to commemorate or cloned, because if they’re gone, they’re gone.”

Ji Yanli is not from the capital. He lives in the suburbs of Beijing. Although it borders the capital, it takes more than two hours to drive home.

Shi Yun went to the Polytechnic University to find him before he returned home for the New Year.

The door of the boys’ dormitory at their school was open, and the auntie of the dormitory didn’t control the people coming in and out. At this point in time, many students had already gone home for vacation, and she did not cause any commotion when she walked in the boys’ dormitory building.

Ji Yanli’s roommate was taken aback when he saw Shi Yun, thinking of how Ji Yanli cried to death when he returned to the dormitory more than half a month ago, his attitude towards Shi Yun was not good: “Ji Yanli went to the interview.”

Shi Yun noticed the other party’s attitude and didn’t say anything, and waited at the door of the dormitory after leaving the dormitory.

After waiting for an hour, she saw a somewhat familiar figure appearing at the intersection from afar.

Because of the interview, Ji Yanli dressed very formally today, and he was surprised to see Shi Yun.

Shi Yun came to apologize.

It has been more than half a month since the last time we met.

The two of them did not stand at the door of the dormitory for people to watch, Ji Yanli took her to the playground stands not far away.

At this time, there are not many people on campus, and many people have already been on vacation.

The basketball court was empty, and so were the stands.

They sat on the weather-faded plastic chairs in the stands, with several empty seats between them.

In the past half month, his anger and sadness have gradually subsided. Facing Shi Yun’s apology, he didn’t feel any joy or relief.

Ji Yanli couldn’t easily say the three words ‘it doesn’t matter’, but he didn’t want to use that matter to torture himself and Shi Yun again.

He doesn’t know much about feelings. His mother abandoned his father because of his disability. Now Ji Yanli himself was deceived about his feelings again, but he thought about it again, could it prove that things like feelings are also great, otherwise why could Shi Yun love someone so much?

Too complicated.

Just like his current mood, it’s all a mess.

But the people next to him seemed to be waiting for his reply. Ji Yanli didn’t say anything. Maybe he was exhausted from the interview in the morning. Under the double failure of interview failure and emotional failure, he could only feel powerless for himself. tired.

Ji Yanli let out a long sigh and got up: “Shi Yun, let’s go, I forgive you. I will pray that in your next relationship, you will love that person, not your first love. Don’t have another person like me, and I will forgive you. One less person like you.”

The author has something to say:

Wei Zong should have facial features and outlines that look like Bai Yueguang as a whole. Ji Canyou is just the kind whose face looks a bit like the upper half. But if you look at the facial features apart, Wei Zongying doesn’t look like Bai Yueguang, but Ji Canyan looks a little more like him.
