he summer winter

The next morning, Chi Lidong returned from his home to the place where he and Xia Yue lived together.

Before opening the door, he still had a little bit of luck in his mind, maybe Xia Yue was joking with him last night, and he could see Xia Yue's cunning appearance every time he played tricks on him when he went in.

However, the empty house shattered his fantasy.Xia Yue and Niannian left, the house was tidy, the mattresses and sofas were clean, and there was no rubbish left behind.Xia Yue's clothes and photos are gone.

Xia Yue didn't take away only the bunch of withered roses that were placed on the coffee table.

He looked at the bouquet for a long time, thinking that he might never like roses again in his life.

Huabian Xiayue wrote a note: My things are taken away, and the book is no longer needed. You can deal with it according to your needs. Goodbye.

Chi Lidong carefully folded the note and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket, the pocket where he put the ring last night.

On the same day, he received an e-mail reminding him that the renewal of the yellow diamond in QQ space had failed, and the QQ account had been cancelled.

... When you wake up from the dream.

He thought for a long time, not understanding what he did wrong.

Is it wrong for lovers not to care about each other's past?

Doesn't it mean that whoever falls in love first loses first?How did you get here? It's the other way around?

The Spring Festival holiday ends in two days.

Chi Lidong put the two photo frames on the office desk into a drawer, took them out again after a while, stared at the two photos, and stared blankly all day.

When he got off work in the evening, the employees left one after another, and he also put on his coat and left, driving with an empty mind. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that he was on the way back to SOHO, and hurriedly turned the car at the next intersection and returned to his home. .

He hasn't told his mother yet, but Mrs. Chi seems to have sensed something. Ever since the day she watched "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", she has always been cautious when speaking to him, never mentioning Xia Yue or Niannian.

Chi Lidong felt a little guilty and didn't know how to explain to her that he and Xia Yue broke up on the day they met their parents.He himself was still confused.

One day, he heard his mother chatting on WeChat voice, and the bright and pungent female voice over there was clearly Xia Yue's aunt.He immediately understood that Xia Yue had already told his family.

The afternoon of the Lantern Festival.

Called him every year, using Xia Yue's mother's cell phone.

Niannian: "Mommy."

Chi Lidong: "..."

Niannian: "You said you would take me to the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, why didn't you come pick me up?"

Chi Lidong burst into tears instantly, suppressing his sadness, and asked, "Where are you?"

Niannian: "At my aunt's house, I've been waiting for you all day, it's almost dark, why don't you come?"

Chi Lidong: "Where... is your father?"

Niannian: "He's going to Hong Kong."

Chi Lidong: "What are you going to do? Are you on a business trip?"

Niannian: "I don't know, he didn't tell me. Mommy, come pick me up."

Chi Lidong: "I... am not in Beijing either, so I can't take you to play, sorry."

Hang up the phone every year.

A few mornings later, at the breakfast table, Mrs. Chi told her son, "Xiao Xia's parents are going to bring Nian Nian back to New Zealand, today's plane."

Chi Lidong took a bite of the bun and said, "Are you going to say goodbye to Niannian?"

Mrs. Chi: "..."

Chi Lidong said: "I still have something to do today, I will arrange a car to take you to the airport later."

Madam Chi looked sad, but finally nodded and said nothing.

Later that day, Chi Lidong parked his car outside the barbed wire fence at the airport. At the beginning of the runway inside, several planes lined up in an orderly manner, ready to take off.

One of them, Air New Zealand, flew direct to Auckland.

When it left the ground and rushed into the sky, Chi Lidong sat in the car and waved to it.

At the end of March, the company was listed on the Growth Enterprise Market in Hong Kong, and Chi Lidong went to Hong Kong for a visit.

The listing of the time-honored Sinopharm brand has been reported in the news.

At the end of the listing ceremony, a celebrity who hadn't contacted her for a long time sent Chi Lidong a congratulatory message for her listing.

Chi Lidong replied to him: "Thank you."

After a while, the celebrity asked him, "Brother Da Chi, did you break up?"

Chi Lidong did not reply.

Celebrity: "I have no other intentions, just let it go if you don't want to say it."

Chi Lidong thought for a while, but still answered him: "How do you know?"

Celebrity: "I have a friend who is also a venture capitalist. I know Xia. He said that he suddenly resigned and left Beijing after the Chinese New Year. I wonder if you..."

Chi Lidong repeatedly read the phrase "Suddenly resigned and left Beijing"... Xia Yue also left.

Celebrity: "Brother Da Chi, if you want to open up a little bit, don't be too sad, I just fell out of love not long ago."

Chi Lidong: "What's the matter with you?"

Celebrity: "He cheated."

Chi Lidong didn't know what to say, so he sent a word: "Oh."

Celebrity: "What about you?"

Chi Lidong didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to talk about Xia Yue with others.

Celebrity: "Forget it, you already have a listed company, love is nothing."

Chi Lidong thought sadly, the company is a fart.

Today, twenty days after being separated from Xia Yue, he finally realized that he was really broken in love.This is the first time in his life that he has lost love.

He asked the famous lady: "Are you sad about falling out of love?"

Celebrity: "It's okay. Breaking up is the norm in this circle. There are not many people who can stay together for more than half a year. I'm used to it."

Chi Lidong: "Oh."

The famous lady sensed that he didn't want to chat, and ended with a witty sentence: "Wait for you to come back and find me to play. Go to sleep for a beauty sleep, wave."

Chi Lidong walked to the hotel window, looking at the boundless lights of Victoria Harbour, he couldn't stop his wild thoughts.

This is the city where Xia Sinian was born and also the city where Xia Yue worked.

It was also the city where Xia Yue and Xia Sinian's mother met.

Has Xia Yue ever loved that girl?Should have loved a little bit, there is the crystallization of love.

Is Xia Yue still in touch with her?Yes, the two of them still have a common child, and no mother would miss her child.

Little friend Xia Sinian, you have a real mommy.

Chi Lidong thought, he is a counterfeit, a fake.

He said in front of Xia Yue that he didn't care what Xia Yue went through in the past, he obviously cared, he cared that Xia Yue didn't love him all the time, he cared that Xia Yue was not only him, he cared that Xia Yue lied to him, he cared that Xia Yue always played him.He said he didn't care, it was a lie.

The happiness, love, wife, and children he had before the Spring Festival were all fake.

The essence of life is a tragedy, with only occasional brief episodes of joy.

At the end of the song, everyone is gone, only he is still there, and maybe only he still cares.

On the day of returning from Hong Kong, when I got off the plane, I saw strong winds and dust.

Beijing's spring finally came, when Chi Lidong had no expectations for it.

May.

Chi Lidong has not had any social activities other than work for more than a month. Li Tang approached him a few times, but he didn't want to go out either, he was too lazy to meet people, too lazy to communicate with others, and he didn't go to the gym.I went home after get off work, had dinner with my mother, went back to the room, closed the door, and would not come out until the next morning.

Mrs. Chi was very worried at first, fearing that he would get bored.Later, I found that he was reading a book in the room, read it seriously, and made a lot of reading notes.She was relieved, no matter what, reading a book is a good thing, and it can also divert her attention.

One weekend, a famous lady invited him to dinner. He didn't want to go out at first, but the famous lady said she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to someone, so he went anyway.

He arrived early, asked for a glass of boiled water, and waited quietly for the other party.

A young man in a black suit walked past him, looked at him, and he looked at each other, both of them nodded politely, the man walked past, but turned back after a while, Ask: "Mr. Chi?"

Chi Lidong thought it was someone he had met, and said, "You are?"

The other party smiled and said, "I'm Su Xiaoxian's friend. Hello, my surname is Ren."

What he was talking about was the online name of a famous lady, but Chi Lidong didn't know what her real name was.

Chi Lidong was puzzled and said, "Oh, hello."

The gentleman surnamed Ren sat down opposite him, and said somewhat restrainedly: "Sorry, you are slightly different from the photo, I didn't recognize you just now."

Chi Lidong: "?"

Mr. Ren casually flipped through the menu on the table. The store took a literary route, and some messy poems were printed on the cover and inside of the menu. He might find it funny, and said, "What if life deceived you? Such a non-mainstream ah."

Chi Lidong hadn't understood the situation yet, and said, "This is Pushkin's poem, not a non-mainstream one."

Mr. Ren raised his eyebrows, dropped the menu, and said, "I can't see that you are so... ah, I know a little bit about your situation. Has Xiaoxian told you about my situation?"

Chi Lidong: "???"

Mr. Ren smiled complacently: "I work in an investment bank. I just returned to Beijing from Guangzhou at the beginning of this year. I have been single for more than a year. I have come out with my family. My parents are very open-minded."

Chi Lidong: "..." He understood what was going on.

He said: "I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood, I have no intention of... a blind date."

Mr. Ren blinked suspiciously.

Chi Lidong said: "Sorry, goodbye."

He wanted to get up and leave.

Mr. Ren: "Wait! Aren't you single?"

Chi Lidong said: "I am, but I don't go on blind dates."

Mr. Ren was a little dissatisfied, but he still controlled his expression and asked politely: "Excuse me, do you think I am not good enough? For example, I don't know Pushkin well?"

Chi Lidong said, "I didn't mean that... I'm sorry, I'm going first."

As he walked out, he called the famous lady.

The famous lady is actually very happy: "Darling, how is it? Is it going well? Do you like it? I carefully selected it for you!"

Chi Lidong said angrily, "Darling, I didn't ask you to help me find a partner, did I?"

Celebrity: "..."

Chi Lidong said seriously: "You're embarrassing both me and the other party."

The famous lady was also embarrassed, and said: "I thought you would like him, so I introduced him to you. I thought you would be very pleasantly surprised. Didn't you find that he is very similar to your ex?"

Chi Lidong: "..."

The famous lady said: "He is also an investor, and he is also a returnee. He looks the same as that one, not to mention more handsome, at least not too much different. I have learned about it. He has no messy relationship. He is seriously looking for someone. Boyfriend, do you really not think about it? He has heard of you and is interested in you. Let me tell you, he is very popular. If you hesitate again, he will be gone. "

"Thank you, I don't need it, and..." Chi Lidong stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at the magnolia that was already in full bloom by the roadside, he was suddenly so tired that he couldn't get any better.

"And," he said earnestly to the lady, "he's not like anyone, and there's no one like him."

In midsummer, Li Tang opened a new gym and asked Chi Lidong to join in, and many mutual friends of the two came to congratulate.

A few friends who hadn't seen Chi Lidong for a while were very surprised: "Chi Zi, why do you even have a stomach?"

Chi Lidong's heart fluttered, and he pretended to be paralyzed: "I've been too busy recently, so I haven't exercised."

After finishing the ribbon-cutting, Li Tang held him back and refused to let him go, saying: "Your mother told me to enlighten you several times, so just let me enlighten you."

Chi Lidong said speechlessly: "I have nothing to enlighten, I can think about it."

Li Tangdao: "Can you think about it? Your mother said that you shut yourself in the room to watch Freud. I checked on Baidu. This person is a psychiatrist."

Chi Lidong: "..."

Li Tangdao: "Is there anything I can talk to my buddy about? I beg you, buddy. You don't really have some psychological problems, do you?"

Chi Lidong said: "No, that book is Xia Yue's book."

Li Tang: "..."

Chi Lidong: "He didn't take it with him when he left. I have nothing to do. I looked around casually, but I didn't understand it."

Li Tang let go of his arm, and said with a complicated expression, "You can't keep going like this."

Chi Lidong smiled and said: "I didn't bring any clothes today, I will exercise tomorrow, and I can lose my stomach in a month at most, don't worry."

Li Tangdao: "It won't take a month, if you practice seriously... No, who said your belly is gone?"

Chi Lidong laughed and said, "Can I go away later? Have a drink or two?"

Li Tang said, "You can't drink wine?"

Chi Lidong smiled and said: "I don't drink it, you drink it, I drink it and it feels good."

After Li Tang finished taking care of things in the gym, he and Chi Lidong left together with their shoulders crossed.

Chi Lidong didn't really want a drink, so he ordered a pot of oolong tea.

Li Tang was bored by himself, so he drank casually.

The two chatted while drinking, and first said a few words about their respective business this year, before turning the topic to Chi Lidong's broken love.

Chi Lidong asked: "How many times has my mother called you?"

Li Tangdao: "It's been many times, since the one who left in spring has been playing intermittently, and now it's August."

Chi Lidong sighed, and said, "It's my fault that made her worry."

Li Tang also sighed, and said, "Chizi, if you really can't let go, go find him. Do you know where he is? It's okay if you don't know, you can always find out, and I can help you too."

Chi Lidong said, "He is in Hong Kong."

Li Tang: "...Huh?"

Chi Lidong said: "He only went there in July, he was in New Zealand until July, and he went to England in May."

Li Tang pondered for a while and asked, "Has he contacted you?"

Chi Lidong drank his tea slowly and said, "No, I found out from the flight information."

Li Tang said: "How did you check?"

Chi Lidong: "I have his ID number and passport number, and I called the airline customer service to ask."

Li Tang felt that it was impossible, and said, "Nonsense, even if you know the number, how do you know which airline he will book?"

Chi Lidong said: "Ask one by one."

Li Tang: "..." He was completely shocked.

Chi Lidong smiled and explained to him: "It's not as troublesome as you think. There are only a dozen companies in China flying to New Zealand. It's easy to check, but the one from New Zealand to the UK is a bit more complicated. There is no direct flight. He arrived from Auckland first." Sydney, then transfer to London, I’m not sure where he’s going, I guess he’s going to England, I’m lucky, I guessed it right, and found it after only a few hours of typing.”

Li Tang said loudly: "Lucky?! I guess you are crazy!"

Chi Lidong: "..."

Li Tang was speechless and said, "If you really miss him, go to him, okay? You love him so much, why did you let him go?"

Chi Lidong said expressionlessly, "He is the one who wants to leave."

Li Tang: "If he wants to leave, let him go? If I have someone I love so much, I won't let him go even if I kidnap him."

Chi Lidong said: "Oh, is that so?"

Li Tang: "It must be!"

Chi Lidong said: "It's a pity you don't have one."

Li Tang: "..."

Chi Lidong laughed out loud.

Laughed for a long time, and fell down on the table laughing.

Finally, he burst into tears.

Li Tang felt uncomfortable, got up and went out, and came back after a while, saying: "Drink."

Chi Lidong raised his eyes and saw that Li Tang had gone out to buy a row of Shuangwaiwai.

Chi Lidong: "..."

Li Tang opened a bottle, inserted a straw, and handed it to him, Chi Lidong took it.Li Tang opened another bottle for himself.

Two people sat on both sides of the table and finished their drinks separately.

"Niannian likes to drink this," Chi Lidong said with a smile while holding the empty bottle, "Xia Yue said there were too many additives and preservatives, so I wouldn't let him drink it. I secretly bought a box and hid it in the car until Xia Yue didn't pay attention. When the time comes, I take Niannian to the car to drink a bottle."

Li Tang had nothing to say, and managed to say: "It's delicious."

Chi Lidong said: "I really miss him."

Li Tang didn't know whether he was talking about the child or Xia Yue, so he opened two more drinks and gave him one.

The two toasted, and drank swig.

We chatted until very late, but we broke up without any results.

At the entrance of the hotel, the two walked down the steps shoulder to shoulder.

Chi Lidong looked up at the starry sky of Xia Ye, and suddenly said: "I want to ask you something."

Li Tang said: "What's the matter?"

Chi Lidong said: "You saw Xia Yue playing a tongue kiss contest in the nightclub, right?"

Li Tang felt a little regretful, and said, "I knew you couldn't do without him so much, so I wouldn't talk too much. It's not bad for you two to fight the other."

Chi Lidong didn't answer his criticism, and said: "Tell me again, how did he play?"

Li Tang said: "What are you talking about?"

Chi Lidong: "I want to pierce my heart again, you say."

Li Tang said speechlessly: "It's just a 10-minute time limit. People in the shop can kiss casually. If you have kissed more people than anyone else, you have to... stick out your tongue."

Chi Lidong said: "Did he win? How many people did he kiss?"

Li Tang: "Thirty or forty, it's been so many years, I've already forgotten."

Chi Lidong said: "Thirty or forty, are you among them?"

Li Tang: "..."

Chi Lidong: "Yes?"

Li Tang: "...Yes."

Chi Lidong beat him angrily.

The next day, Chi Lidong started working out, two hours a day, one hour of exercise and one hour of boxing.

I no longer stay at home, and my social life is gradually becoming normal. When I get home, I don’t hide in the room to read. I will chat with my mother, watch TV, and occasionally help my aunt with some housework.

A month later, he regained his previous figure, and his mental state gradually improved.

Summer goes and autumn comes, grass withers and leaves fall.

Another winter is coming soon.

Then, another new year.

There are so many parties around the Spring Festival, and Chi Lidong keeps going to the market every day. Fortunately, it is well known that he cannot drink alcohol because of spleen surgery. Although he must attend every party, he will not be like some of his peers. Alcoholic liver.He is 37 years old, calmly accepting the fact that he is almost middle-aged, and no longer indulges in sorrow and sorrow, and no longer obsessively recalls the past.

Only when I am extremely lonely at night, I miss someone crazily. The flight information shows that someone who stayed in Hong Kong for half a year and went to New Zealand a few days ago.

The day before New Year's Eve, he had dinner with several technical employees of the company. After the meal, he settled the bill, but stopped in the lobby and did not leave for a long time.

The employee waited for a long time but failed, so he came in and called him: "Mr. Chi?"

Chi Lidong stood under the radiant crystal lamp in the restaurant lobby, listening to the folk songs flowing from the stereo.

Employee: "Does Mr. Chi like Luo Dayou?"

Chi Lidong nodded and said, "Let's go."

The speaker sings:

Past oaths are like the colorful bookmarks in the textbook

How many beautiful poems are depicted, but after all, it is a puff of smoke

...after all, it was a puff of smoke.

He thought of Xia Yue and Xia Yue's classmates singing this song "Story of Time", and had an interesting flash mob in the singing.So much so that this song has a youthful, romantic and unique fragrance floating in his memory.

In this fragrance, he remembered many things, not the recent ones, nor the last year, but a long time ago.

After the first research and the second, he lived a life of beating sandbags, drinking small wine, and going back to the dormitory to sleep under a blanket. Day after day, he waited for graduation in boredom and boredom.

Until he met Xia Yue.

Xia Yue likes clean and regular people, so he quit drinking, cut off his messy hair, eats and sleeps on time; Xia Yue likes listening to folk songs, and he learned all the songs of Pu Shu whose voice is closest to his own; Xia Yue likes poetry , he went to the library to borrow Pushkin, Gu Cheng and Haizi; he read a little Wang Xiaobo, learned a little Sudoku, listened to a little Bach, and practiced a little calligraphy. In the year when I met Xia Yue, she quickly changed her body and became a brand new person.

He fell in love without knowing it, and he changed without knowing it.

He was so unaware that he thought that what he had been infatuated with was just a shadow.

On the evening of the second day of the first lunar month, Chi Lidong called the major airlines at home to check someone's recent booking information.

Suddenly, I received a call from a friend in the TV station, telling him: "Your advertisement for Cordyceps is no longer available, and it will be withdrawn from tomorrow."

Chi Lidong felt baffled, he just won the bid for the prime-time advertising space a few years ago, and suddenly he couldn't get it?Said: "It's Chinese New Year, stop joking."

The other party said solemnly: "What I said is true. I just got the news that after the start of work on the seventh day, the station will issue a statement that the advertising contract will be cancelled. The refund of the advertising fee will not be confirmed until the seventh day of work. This matter is a certainty, it really won’t work.”

Chi Lidong guessed that there was some secret box, cursed in his heart, and said, "Is that a breach of contract?"

The other party: "Of course not. I'm still not sure about the specific situation. Now I can only tell you the truth in advance. We should see the outcome tomorrow."

The next day, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a consumption reminder announcement: Through sampling inspection, the arsenic content in a certain brand of Cordyceps products exceeded the standard by ten times. Long-term consumption will cause excessive intake of arsenic, which may accumulate in the human body, and there is a high risk.

The media immediately followed up and reported that the China Food and Drug Administration issued a reminder that arsenic in Cordyceps products exceeded the standard by ten times.Experts remind that eating Cordyceps products can cause arsenic poisoning, which may be fatal in severe cases.

The media's follow-up reports are just embellishing and scaremongering, so I won't talk about it here.

The key point is that the brand of Cordyceps that was sampled and inspected was not the brand of Chi Lidong Company.

Chi Lidong was about to die, he just wanted to have a good year, why is it so bad every year?
