The temperature at night was very low. Wearing tights and a windbreaker outside could not resist the cold of the night wind.
The street lights were dim, and the slanted shadows on the ground were a bit long.
A gust of cool wind hit, and the few yellow leaves that fell from the ground slowly flew up.
Dongfang Liuyun wore a long black windbreaker, put her hands in her thin pockets, and walked slowly along the cool windy street. The clear and rhythmic sound of "dengdeng" came from the high heels on her feet. The sound on a clean floor.
The street at night is actually a bit quiet at this moment, the busiest time has passed, and the Lantern Festival will soon pass, and the early morning of the next day will come.
She has walked countless times in such a silent and endless street. After passing this traffic light, there is the next one below, the next one, and the next one, and outside the city, there is the wide avenue...
She crossed the sidewalk and came to the square she used to frequent.
From all the way, you can hear that distant song, not the one you used to listen to before, but a different one...
The surrounding area is still the same as usual, surrounded by many people.
Dongfang Liuyun stopped his steps, found a bench nearby and sat down, leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes silently, and listened quietly——
'There was a young girl who sent soldiers off to fight, and they bid farewell in the night, on the steps...'
She listened, for some reason, her eyes suddenly became a little dazed, until a slightly familiar breath came from her side, when she turned her head to look, she saw Qi Lei who was already sitting beside her.
"I've been here many times since then, but this is the first time I've seen you here."
Qi Lei's deep voice came, and he didn't look at Dongfang Liuyun, his eyes quietly fell on the figure in front of him.
"I'm not idle. I heard about your father. Are you okay?"
Dongfang Liuyun gave him a slanted look, and asked indifferently.
"Do you think I look like someone who has something to do?"
Qi Lei asked back.
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly smiled, "I didn't intend to persuade you not to be sad or to say anything, it's nothing substantial, but it's not a good thing that he passed away, so you just wish him well."
"Others always advise me not to be sad or not to worry, but you are quite different."
Qi Lei's frowning brows eased a little, and he squinted at her.
"Alien?"
Dongfang Liuyun said in a low voice, thought for a while, and then continued, "You think I'm too indifferent?"
"You know that too? Sometimes, when you talk to you with so much enthusiasm, it feels like you've been put in a cold storage, and you can't be enthusiastic."
Qi Lei took a breath and said lightly.
"Don't frame me, I'm a very warm-hearted person, cold beauties only appear in fairy tales."
Dongfang Liuyun smiled calmly, and rarely opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Life is also a story. After a hundred years or a thousand years, can you guarantee that we are not the protagonists or various supporting characters in fairy tales?"
Qi Lei replied in a low voice.
"A hundred years? A thousand years?"
Dongfang Liuyun raised his eyebrows, and looked at him leisurely.
"Um."
He nods.
"Do you believe that souls exist after death?"
Dongfang Liuyun thought for a long time, and suddenly asked this question.
Qi Lei was startled, paused for a while, and then said, "I don't know, but I want to believe it, so..."
Qi Lei didn't continue, but listening to that voice, he always felt a little lonely.
Dongfang Liuyun leaned down slightly, propped his chin with one hand, and silently looked at the crowd in front of him, "If there is, Lingtang has also entered reincarnation, and all we can do is remember. Although I am studying history and comprehending There are countless allusions and deeds of my ancestors, but the more I go to the back, the more I feel the wonder of life. People are actually very humble, but they can make their lives great."
"Then do you believe it too?"
Qi Lei was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her and asked.
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath, and suddenly leaned back on the chair behind him. Qi Lei waited for a long time, but he still didn't wait for her answer...
"I'm leaving City Z tomorrow. I wish your father a speedy recovery."
After a long time, Dongfang Liuyun said this.
"Leave? Where are you going?"
Qi Lei frowned subconsciously.
"The delegation wanted to go to a Gobi near Xinjiang to inspect a historic site first. The doctoral program of University A was successful, and I was free, and I have already asked the school for leave."
Dongfang Liuyun replied, looking at him with indifferent eyes, and his tone was full of encouragement, "I hope that when you come back, everything will be better for you."
Qi Lei paused for a moment, then nodded silently, "With your good words, then you have to take care of yourself and take care of yourself."
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun smiled softly, "Using the words of the ancients, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so I naturally know how to take care of myself. You are different. Only you know your pressure and difficulties best. You must take care of yourself." some."
"I'm sorry about today's incident. It should have been a rare happy event."
Qi Lei's tone was somewhat helpless and disappointed.
"Don't blame yourself, who can have no accidents? I don't want to say sympathy, it's not a good thing for us."
"Are you too proud to want the sympathy of others?"
Qi Lei smiled.
Dongfang Liuyun lowered his eyes, remained silent, didn't say anything behind, got up slowly, and skillfully put his hands into his windbreaker pockets.
"Go back. It's quite cold. I'm going back. When I come back, I'll buy you another drink."
Leaving such a sentence, the sonorous footsteps have already moved forward, leaving only such a cold back for the people behind.
"I'll see you off, anyway."
Qi Lei stood up, reached into his pocket, and took out the car keys.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun's footsteps paused, and he turned to look at him, his eyes seemed a little surprised.
"There is only one road leading to the front here, and I happen to be going to the hospital too."
Qi Lei explained.
Dongfang Liuyun brushed a light of relief on his clean and dusty face, and shook his head, "No need, I want to go for a walk alone, goodbye."
The voice fell, and the person continued to walk forward. After a while, the thin figure was already lost in the twilight ahead.
Qi Lei didn't catch up after all, and walked towards his car without any hesitation, and quickly started the car...
He also came to take a look when he was passing by. After beating Qi Feng just now, he felt that his gloomy mood eased a lot.
Did Qi Feng think that Qi Lei was that young and frivolous fool back then
