Ye Fan asked Lu Yin to have dinner yesterday, and went to Starbucks to order a cup of coffee after the meal. The two chatted for a long time, and they sat all night, and it was already eleven o'clock at night when they got home.

She took a shower and stood on the balcony to enjoy the wind for a while. The front view is wide, facing the garden of the community, it is late at night, there is silence outside the window, there are very few people, only a couple drifting away on the small road.

Lu Yin fiddled with her hair with her hands, letting the cool wind gently blow the ends of her hair, everything was silent, the privet trees by the roadside were whirling, and the moon was boundless, as if the stars were guarding her. There was a red dot in the bushes that flickered on and off, and for a while I couldn't see what was going on, and when I panicked, I felt that the sparks were twinkling like stars.

Lu Yin didn't study it specially, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and suddenly calmed down a lot.

That night, she forced herself not to drink, and when she was lying on the bed, she felt sleepy.

She was in a trance all night, not really at ease, but she slept longer than usual. When she opened her eyes at six o'clock, she walked around the neighborhood twice, changed her clothes and went to work.

Today is a cloudy day, with thick dark clouds covering half of the sky, and the world is covered with ashes, and the summer feels cold for the first time.

Lu Yin looked up at the sky, a little regretful, wanted to go back to get the umbrella, but was too lazy to climb the stairs, hesitated for two seconds, and walked out quickly.

The bus came within a few minutes. It was full of people, and Lu Yin was the last to get on the bus. The moment the car door closed, a figure rushed up from behind, Lu Yin looked at it out of the corner of her eye, and felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, her heart beat faster for no reason, and she resisted not looking back.

With limited footholds ahead, Lu Yin barely stepped up the steps, holding on to the railing.

The driver shouted behind her: "The last one to get on the bus, buy the ticket... What about you! Vote for two yuan."

There was no one answering from behind, and the driver didn't drive, just patted his head and watched. After a while, an extra hand appeared on Lu Yin's right side, "Dang, Dang" sounded twice, and two coins were thrown into it.

The driver then closed the door and started the car.

The people behind couldn't go up the steps, so they stood by the door, half leaning against the door.

During rush hour, the roads are so congested that we can't drive at all. Due to the weather, the air conditioner was not turned on in the car, and the windows on both sides were open, but it was not much cooler.

Lu Yin's back was already sweating, and it was like a stove was roasting her behind.

The bus stopped every step, time passed slowly, and the people on the bus were anxious and anxious.

The person behind said: "Driver, it's too hot, turn on the air conditioner."

The driver looked ahead lazily and ignored him.

After a while, the man said again: "Ask you to turn on the air conditioner, pretending not to hear you?"

The voice was a little lower, hoarse and echoing, not very loud, but faintly intimidating without anger.

The driver couldn't help but glanced at him sideways, and he stared at him too. His eyes were dark and cold, and his short, short cut was full of scars, which made people shudder.

The driver swallowed his saliva and resisted moving.

Someone spoke, and someone inside naturally echoed: It's just... turn on the air conditioner, it's getting too hot...

For a while, most people shouted.

The driver hurried down the steps and shouted to the back: "Close all the windows next to you."

The air conditioner was turned on for five minutes before the cabin temperature slowly dropped.

The hotness subsided, but Lu Yin's back was stiff and she couldn't relax. It was only after listening to him just now that the voice lingered in her ears, like a thin string pulling her nerves, he was so close to her.

Lu Yin lowered her head, her teeth lightly touched her nails, and subconsciously moved forward half a step.

I have been stuck at the intersection just now, and I haven't reached a stop yet. After passing the red light, the road conditions improved, and the driver slammed on the accelerator, wishing to drive the car like an airplane.

When turning left, people lean to the right. Lu Yin stood on the edge of the steps, but she couldn't stabilize her body and fell backwards.

Buttocks hit the man's stomach first, and then suddenly a hand came out from behind and hugged her around the waist. Lu Yin nodded on her toes, barely hanging on the steps. In a hurry, she held the arm around her waist, and her fingertips touched his skin, which was rough and hard.

Lu Yin lowered her head subconsciously, his arm was like a steel bar, tightly clamped under her chest, and the soft lower edge of the tiger's mouth was attached.

The car went straight and gradually stabilized.

Lu Yin's ears felt hot, and she pinched his arm with her hand.

Lu Qiang moved his head closer: "Don't move."

Lu Yin couldn't pretend anymore, she turned her head and was slightly surprised: "It's you."

Lu Qiang raised his eyebrows: "I thought you had already seen it."

"No..." Lu Yin said in a low voice. Her entire back was in his arms, and he was standing at the bottom of the steps, they were actually the same height.

She grabbed his arm again: "Let go first."

"Don't move." The air of speaking blew into her ears, "There is still a turn ahead."

After turning a corner, we finally stopped at the platform, some got off and some got on.

With a lift of his arm, Lu Qiang lifted her up, and followed him up the steps. The two stood at the same height, he naturally lifted his arm up a bit, moved his thumb back and forth, Lu Yin clenched her lips, and grabbed his tiger's jaw. The carriage was already crowded, and his movements were inadvertent, and there was nothing wrong with it under certain circumstances. Lu Yin was annoyed, and she walked in while being hugged by him, and stood still in one place. He let go of his hand, but kept sticking to her back. .

Lu Yin was secretly angry and lowered her eyes.

When the car drove out of the platform, Lu Qiang lowered his head and asked, "Do you go to work like this every day?"

After a few seconds, she replied reluctantly: "No, there are more people on Mondays."

"How long does it take to arrive at the unit?"

"half an hour."

"Still working in that garment factory?"

Lu Yin didn't speak.

He paused, and added: "Or the one who went to the prison to measure clothes?"

Lu Yin recalled the first time they met, the dragon on his chest, the scar on his forehead and the number 0852 were what impressed him most.

She nodded: "Yes."

Lu Qiang: "What's the name of that factory?"

"... Du Hua makes clothes."

Lu Qiang muttered it in his mouth, as if he didn't really want to know.

The sky outside was getting lower and lower, and a few drops of water hung on the car window. After a while, someone opened an umbrella on the side of the road, as if fog had formed in an instant, the world was chaotic and blurred, and the rain finally started.

Lu Yin moved forward a little bit, the rainy day didn't make her feel better, she was too close, and she still felt hot, but it didn't take long for the stove behind to catch up again.

He then asked, "What happened last night?"

Lu Yin didn't understand for a while.

"I saw you at the sentry box. We were having dinner at that time."

Lu Yin said, "Really? It's too dark, I didn't pay attention."

Lu Qiang lowered his eyes to look at the top of her head, and hooked the corners of his lips: "Come back early next time, you are not safe as a woman."

Lu Yin froze, lowered her head shamefully, the polite concern from a stranger actually made her heart beat slightly.

Lu Qiang asked: "Did you hear that?"

Lu Yin made a soft 'uh' sound in her throat.

Lu Qiang glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions.

The pattern of the two of them seemed to be that he was always asking her to answer. Don't speak now, just lean your body, the atmosphere is even more awkward than before.

Lu Yin suddenly yawned and asked, "Where do you live in this car?"

After two seconds, "No."

She turned around in surprise.

Lu Qiang also looked down at her: "I came up with you."

Lu Yin was at a loss for words, she didn't expect him to answer like this, she thought the answer was affirmative to the topic she picked at random, who would have thought that he would talk about getting in the car with a half-acquainted person

When he answered this way, the most common response was to ask: Why

But women are sensitive by nature, and since he speaks so bluntly, she can more or less guess what he's thinking, and if she continues to ask, she'll be really a fool.

Lu Yin was silent.

She didn't speak, but he didn't intend to let her go.

Lu Qiang rubbed his chin against the tips of her ears, and said with a volume that only each other could hear: "Aren't you going to ask why?"

Lu Yin shrank her neck and bit her lips tightly.

Lu Qiang continued: "I heard from Lao Li that your wedding was cancelled, and you broke up with your man?"

There was a buzzing sound in her ears, and the surrounding noise was amplified countless times. Her lower lip had obvious teeth marks, and her back was straight.

Lu Qiang said, "Where did your husband come from

The crowded carriage swayed. But they seem to have fallen into a different dimension, and they only see each other in their eyes.

The man grabbed the railing above his head, arched his back, lowered his head, and half-circled her. She is like a feast in the mouth of a giant beast, ready to be slaughtered.

Lu Yin looked away and took a deep breath. This is her taboo. Every time she is about to forget, someone will always mention it in front of her and poke her heart. The calmness of the lake was finally shattered by the turbulent vortex of the undercurrent, and it has been shrinking and avoiding, as if suddenly fearless.

"Huh?" The voice behind was hoarse, "Tell me, where did you come from?"

Lu Yin turned cold: "It's none of your business."

"Is it none of my business?"

She pushed her arm back: "What do you want?"

"What can I do?" Lu Qiang said with a smile on his face, "I'm quite rare about you."

Lu Yin was speechless.

A few seconds later, Lu Qiang said: "I was drunk last night, and I was afraid that I might not be sober. I lay on the bed and thought, if I want to get up early, I still think about you, so I went to find you."

Lu Yin: "..."

Lu Qiang said, "Do you think I miss you?"
