midsummer restlessness

By the time we returned to the urban area, night had already fallen, and the city was still as noisy as daytime, the streets were full of traffic, and thousands of houses were lit up.

The movie theater was crowded with people, and the line to buy tickets was long.

An Hongdou was caught in the tumultuous line with a bucket of popcorn in her arms, and Xia An accompanied her boredly with a Coke.

After telling a lot about how touching this movie was and how well his male god performed in it, An Hongdou finally concluded.

"You'll love it."

"Oh yeah?"

Xia An glanced at the queue in front of him, absent-minded.

An Hongdou raised her eyebrows meaningfully, but said nothing.

In the first few minutes of the movie, An Hongdou was only focused on eating popcorn, and occasionally screamed a few times with a group of little girls in the movie theater when a close-up of his male god appeared.

Xia An covered his face in disgust, and squeezed out a sentence, "An Hongdou, shut up."

Don't you look at the girls who are calling after you are all wearing school uniforms. What do you, a 25-year-old woman, mix into it?

The latter obviously didn't care, shrugged and continued to stuff popcorn into his mouth.

The pace of the movie is very slow, and the plot is not compact. From the current situation of the male protagonist, it tells a long, young first love story with a regretful and sad ending.

The simple throbbing past of the two is connected in series by means of montage, from the first meeting to the acquaintance and falling in love.

A few years later, at the girl's wedding, the boy was wearing a suit and sitting in the guest seat, watching her wedding dress reach the floor with a smile.

The priest asked, are you willing to be one with God before God, to comfort and respect each other, and to watch out for each other, whether poor or rich, sick or healthy, loyal to Him and loving Him until death?

The girl was silent for a long time, she said softly, Ido.

There was a muffled sound of piano keys being pressed.

The camera switches, and back to the blue sky and white clouds, the leaves of the sycamore trees are rustling, and there are vibrant smiling faces on the green campus.

The girl hugged the boy's arm, raised her neck and asked him, "You will give me a very beautiful and lively wedding in the future, right?"

The boy pinched her cheek, "Fool, of course."

"At that time, I will definitely buy you the most expensive wedding dress and invite the most guests."

The immature voice disappeared at the end of the stone road.

Xia An watched quietly, feeling an unspeakable sourness in his heart.

When the final shot shot straight up from the teachers and students in the graduation photos, to the clear sky and the treetops blown by the breeze.

When time goes back, through the tree-lined avenues of the campus, through the crowded teaching buildings, and finally freeze on the original stadium.

We end up drowning in our own stories.

The background music that remembers the past played with a sad tone, and the subtitles slowly rose on the screen.

The movie ends, the movie ends.

An Hongdou seemed to be asleep, Xia An didn't wake her up, and sat quietly in the back seat, watching the crowd disperse.

"Hey, let's try together."

"You still have me, I will not leave you."

"I'm just a little tired."

"You want to be happy."

Touch cheeks, hands full of tears.

That night, she dreamed that she was back in her old house on the outskirts of Chongqing.

The old furniture in the house, the loose and peeling window sills, the sunlight coming in from the outside, and the fine dust floating in the dark.

There is a reassuring stillness in the air.

The moonlight outside the window is like water.

That was the night Xia An slept the deepest in years.

Over there, Gu Liyin checked one side of luggage, a few changes of clothes, necessary cosmetics, chargers, ID cards and passports.

After confirming that nothing was missing, she closed the suitcase.

Wang Junkai behind him was wearing a simple and refreshing white T, leaning against the bedroom door with a water glass in his hand, "How long will you be going this time?"

"It will take about a week." Gu Liyin looked at him apologetically, "So I'm afraid I won't be able to celebrate your birthday with you, dear."

She tiptoed and kissed him as she said, then smiled softly and comforted him, "But I will finish the task as soon as possible and come back to accompany you."

"It's okay." Wang Junkai didn't look regretful, and said calmly, "Work is more important."

Gu Liyin was obviously still worried, "I went to the supermarket yesterday and bought a lot of food and put them in the refrigerator. It's very convenient to eat after warming up. Don't always order takeaway, and the weather has been bad these days. Close the windows of the balcony before going to bed at night, I have washed your shirts and folded them in your closet, drink less coffee, and don’t sleep too late.”

She kept nagging, and Wang Junkai patiently answered them one by one. He helped her carry the suitcase and sent her downstairs. Gu Liyin looked at him reluctantly, "I'm leaving first. Ammi is still waiting in the car." .take care of yourself."

"You too." Wang Junkai waved at her, watched Gu Liyin get into the flamboyant red Ferrari, and watched her off until the car drove out of the community and disappeared from his sight.

Qiu Hanhan decided to meet on the 21st of this month—Wang Junkai's birthday, and I don't know if she intended it or not.

Xia An stood at the door of the apartment holding the gift box, and sighed helplessly.

"What are you doing in a daze? Go up, I guess Hanhan and the others are already here."

An Hongdou pushed her and urged her.

"Why is it at his house? Shouldn't it be better to book a private room in a restaurant for a party?" At home... How embarrassing.

Xia An didn't say the last sentence.

"Sister Xia, you have complained about this issue no less than ten times along the way."

An Hongdou glanced at her helplessly, "The venue was decided by our birthday star himself, the reason is that he is too lazy to go out."

Well, she also knew that this reason was a bit ridiculous, but Wang Junkai did tell her so on the phone.

"It's too troublesome to go outside. If there are a few of us, just come to my house and eat something." Wang Junkai said with a lazy tone, "When you come, don't forget to bring some sliced ​​meat and vegetables, as well as bottoms. Material...that's right, let's eat hot pot...but my house only has pots."

An Hongdou could imagine him casually saying these maddening words on the other end of the phone.

"It exploded."

She complained so much.
