After walking through the gate of Ji Yi's house and walking to the corner of the two-story stairs, Ji Chengyang's footsteps obviously stopped.
How many times did he stop in his 20s when he passed this gate
Now that I think about it, it's very far away.
In the dark corridor, Ji Chengyang stood quietly, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one, and placed it gently on the tip of his nose. In the moonlight, he actually saw a black mark on the white wall in the corner of the window sill.
This is what he stayed behind.
In Ji Yi's sophomore year, she was accused by everyone in a wall. He once stood here. At that time, he was temporarily blind because of a brain tumor, and he was listening to the farce here.
After walking tens of thousands of kilometers... His heart has been trapped in the same place for many years, where his relationship with her began.
Back home, the second sister-in-law had just returned from the UK and was packing her luggage and bringing out many gifts for her family. After seeing Ji Chengyang, she slowly straightened her body and looked carefully at the younger brother who hadn't seen her for many years: "It seems to have lost a lot of weight, what's the matter? Isn't Mrs. Yang's cooking unappetizing?" Ersao teased him.
Ji Chengyang avoids the heavy and takes the light, bypassing the topic: "Where is the warm? Not coming back this year?"
"Come back, but it will be a few days later. I went to play with her boyfriend." The second sister-in-law seemed to be happy to talk about the current Ji Nuannuan. I can't recognize her anymore. I don't know if his boyfriend will come back with him. If he comes back, you can see her."
Ji Chengyang could feel that Ji Nuannuan should have matured a lot in the conversation of her second sister-in-law. Her turbulent puberty was just a mark in her life. He still remembered clearly how he took Ji Nuannuan out of the boy's house that day and sent her home, so that she was forced to face the censure of the whole family.
And now, those past, unbearable, young and frivolous past are long gone.
The second sister-in-law said a few more words, and suddenly thought of something, she immediately went back to her room, took out an envelope, waved to the kitchen to avoid the crowd, and handed the envelope to him: "This is what you asked me to do last year. When I came back, I heard that Xixi was not coming back. I went to the university she was studying, and after graduating, no one could be found. So it was still not given to her."
The second sister-in-law is a very principled person. She has not opened this envelope since it was handed to her.
So when she returned it to Ji Chengyang intact, she still didn't know what was in it. However, everyone in the Ji family treats Ji Yi very well. In the eyes of the second sister-in-law, Ji Yi is also regarded as Ji Chengyang when he grew up, guessing that it should be something for Ji Yi, such as living expenses given by some elders, New year's money or something, most of them can't bear to see Ji Yi's compensation for being so neglected by the family.
Ji Chengyang looked at the envelope, unexpectedly quiet for a while, then took it.
During the period before the Chinese New Year in 2008, the news industry was always busy.
While everyone is counting down for the Olympics in August, the South has ushered in a snow disaster that is rare in a century.
Prior to this, there had never been such a large-scale snowfall in the south, that sudden snow disaster without warning or preparation. Starting on January 10, as of the end of January, the number of people affected by the disaster has exceeded 8 million.
Ji Yi was originally an intern and was not sent out directly for an interview.
However, due to the snow disaster, road transportation in southern China was almost paralyzed. Many reporters in the agency were stranded outside and could not return to Beijing on time. At the beginning of February, Ji Yi asked He Feifei to go to Anhui, the hardest hit area. Before leaving, he asked Ji Yi: "He Feifei is originally a southerner. If you go, you might be able to go home for the Chinese New Year. Your home In Beijing, the New Year is almost coming, so it's better to stay."
She insisted that she had seen each other and got on the train going south that night.
The disaster is coming to an end, but the transportation hub is still greatly affected.
In Anhui alone, the two people have been trapped on the road countless times.
"The road ahead is very icy. It is estimated that there will be another car accident." He Feifei said sleepily and yawned. Ji Yi didn't sleep well all night, resting on her down jacket hat and looking at her with red eyes: "Would you like to go down and take a look?" He Feifei shook her head, and soon fell asleep again.
Ji Yi looked out the window. There were cars and people waiting anxiously on the ice and snow.
This time period is the Spring Festival, everyone is eager to return home...
There was a cry of a child behind him, as if he was sitting too tired and acting like a baby with his mother. She glanced at the time on her mobile phone and found several identical mobile phone numbers, which were not recorded but were unfamiliar numbers.
Want to call back, the phone has been turned off because of no electricity.
Had to give up.
By the time Wuhu urban area, the sky was completely dark.
After finishing the formalities, when they entered the hotel room, the two were already tired and collapsed on the bed. He Feifei quickly took a bath and fell asleep. Ji Yi was charging the phone while typing today's manuscript on the computer:
"The reporter learned from the Anhui Forestry District today that the province suffered the most severe economic loss and the deepest impact since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The snow disaster caused heavy losses to Anhui's forestry..." She stopped and turned over the numbers in her notebook. , Continued to watch, tapping his fingers on the computer, "As of February 5th, 240,000 wild animals had been frozen to death, and the number of national first- and second-level protected wild animals had been frozen to death..."
Before the final number was knocked out, all the lights suddenly went out.
She was startled, her fingers trembled on the keyboard, and she took a slow breath to comfort herself, it didn't matter, there was still someone in the room anyway. She looked back at He Feifei, who was still asleep. She was afraid of disturbing her, so she didn't call the service desk, but quietly got up, took another key card on the table and went out.
Sure enough, when he walked to the corridor, it was also pitch black.
She was not only a guest, but people came out of several rooms, looking at the corridors and nearby rooms in the dark corridor. Soon, a waiter came out of the stairwell and told them sorry to say that it was an emergency to cut off the electricity.
One of the effects of the snow disaster, everyone can understand, and they didn't say anything, they closed the door one after another.
Ji Yi went back to the room, looked at the only computer that was on, walked over, looked at the battery is still full, and simply finished the manuscript in one go. But if you want to discredit the bath, it's no good.
She went to the bathroom to wipe her face and hands with a wet towel. She decided to go to bed first and wait until tomorrow to clean herself. Unexpectedly, when I soaked the towel in my hand, I heard the phone ringing.
Busy tossing down the towel and picking up the phone, it is still the strange number in the afternoon
She took her mobile phone out of the room and put on the phone in the dark corridor.
"Hello? Which one, please?" She lowered her voice.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, and there was a choked voice: "Sixi."
Familiar sounds hit the ears, like a hurricane, dispelling the quiet and quiet atmosphere here. For a moment, Ji Yi only felt sore in her nose, and her tears almost fell: "Yeah."
The voice seemed to be stuffy in his chest.
"Sisi, where are you? I'm going to find you."
"I'm in Anhui," Ji Yi said, with heavy mist in front of him, "Where are you?"
"Huh? What are you doing so far? You won't stop going back to Beijing?"
"No, it's a business trip." The tears fell and fell on the white slippers, unable to stop, "I still live in Beijing." She answered Ji Nuannuan, her voice was like returning to her childhood, gentle and soft. , Without any impurities.
This is the first time she really talked on the phone with someone in her past memory after she completely left home and severed her relationship with everyone in the past. The two people have been crying since they picked up the phone, asking some questions intermittently. Ji Nuannuan didn't have time to blame and complain about why she disappeared suddenly, so she just cried and asked her about trivial matters.
Ji Nuannuan cried to the end, and finally slowly recovered her nature, and began to express her anger at Ji Yi’s disappearance: "I tell you! Don’t think I forgive you when I cried! It’s too much, isn’t it a broken love? Shouldn't you come to me to cry if you are broken in love? You call me, tell me that my uncle is married, and if you dump you, I will fly back immediately and blast the girl out of our house. You are afraid of me. What, why are you leaving..."
Ji Nuannuan was angry and crying, but because he was afraid of being heard by his family, his voice was deliberately suppressed.
Ji Yi listened, listened, the tears that had stopped just now fell again.
She can even imagine the tall Ji Nuannuan in front of her, waving her hand to teach others, a look that no one else can treat you unreasonably except that I can bully you.
"Have you heard? It won't be disconnected, will you?"
"Yeah." Ji Yi responded softly.
"That's good, keep listening, I haven't finished scolding yet," Ji Nuannuan choked and continued to say angrily, "I'm telling you, I heard Ji Chengyang and my dad say that he is divorced and divorced. You don’t let him be heard, have you heard? This scumbag, a scumbag, must teach him a lesson, and he can’t be easily taken advantage of."
As if someone had used a needle, it quickly pierced her heart.
Ji Nuannuan couldn't hear her response, she seemed to notice her psychological changes, and softened her tone: "But when it comes to Ji Chengyang and you... I'm quite contradictory. Xixi, do you know? I came back yesterday to see him , I almost fought with him, thinking that if I saw the woman at home, there would be a big fight. But today I heard him and my dad say that they were divorced, the first one thought of you, whether you still have Maybe. I think he should be yours, and it feels like he was finally returned."
Ji Yi didn't say a word.
She did not tell Ji Nuannuan, Ji Chengyang once told herself that he was never married.
"Your phone number is what I asked him for. He actually has your current phone number. What does it mean? It means he must still have you in his heart," Ji Nuannuan continued, "but don't worry, wait for you to come back. Let’s meet first, and then talk about him."
The topic of Ji Chengyang came to an end.
Ji Yi told Nuan Nuan that he would probably go back around the Spring Festival, but it depends on whether the traffic resumes smoothly. Maybe there will be another heavy snowfall, and it will be delayed again.
When the phone is hung up, the charged cell phone only has less than 10% power left.
She returned to the room, there was still a power outage, it was still dark, and the colleague on the bed was still asleep.
Time seems to be frozen at one point, and the changes in space have stopped. Only the touch of He Nuannuan after the phone call still persists.
Ji Yi walked to the window, got into the heavy curtains, and looked at the moonlight outside the window and the moonlight shining on the frozen city.
Nuannuan's words repeated in my mind.
His mobile phone number has been in Ji Chengyang's mobile phone, but he pretended not to know, always waiting for himself to contact him. Just such a small thought made her feel like she was back in her teenage years, because he gave a list of travel items, a hug he gave, and even a word of him was secretly happy...
She put her hand on the cold glass, pressed a faint watermark, and then watched the watermark fade quickly.
Picked up the phone again, lowered his head, and slowly entered a text message: Are you asleep
After thinking about it, I deleted it and changed it to: Dear classmates and colleagues, Ji Yiyuan wished everyone a Happy New Year in advance in Wuhu, Anhui.
She disguised the text message as a group text message, and finally found his number and sent it out.
It was really successful, and she regretted it instantly.
I'm afraid I will wait for his reply, but this kind of group texting, most people will not reply at all...
Regret has not been maintained for a minute, and a reply pops out from the phone.
Open it up, it's really Ji Chengyang:
Anhui is the hardest-hit area. If you can’t come back for the New Year in time, wait until the traffic is smooth. Safety comes first.
Happy New Year, Sisi.
