Cloudy but no rain

"Where are you?" Ji Zhifei's voice sounded far away.

Su Fengmian was still lying on the bed, drowsy, when he received a call from Ji Zhifei.

When he received the call, he instinctively wanted to hang up - today is Friday, the Lantern Festival, and as a senior high school teacher, he finally took a vacation, and he didn't want anyone to interrupt his sleep.

Although he has slept from two o'clock in the afternoon to the current 06:30 in the evening.

......

18: 32.

Su Fengmian looked at the time on the top of the phone's call interface and Ji Zhifei's three dazzlingly large Microsoft Yahei fonts, and then suddenly realized that he was going to have dinner with Ji Zhifei today.

He struggled to sit up, and flicked on the switch next to the bedside, the headlights in the room suddenly turned on, driving away the last few rays of orange light reflected in the twilight above the city.

"Are you listening?"

"I... just woke up, and it's not far away now." Su Fengmian quickly got dressed, and didn't care what to wear, just took a black sweater, "I'll be there soon... .”

"Then come down, I'm downstairs at your house." Ji Zhifei interrupted him unhurriedly.

"My house is downstairs?" Su Fengmian was stunned for a moment, before his left hand was put into the sleeve of his coat, he froze.

"Well, come down, I just passed by after get off work."

Su Fengmian oh oh replied, Ji Zhifei said this, he couldn't believe it, even if he really passed by, he still didn't believe that Ji Zhifei would come to pick him up and go with him—if he had to find One reason is that Ji Zhifei is already hungry and wants to eat right away, instead of waiting for him to drive over.

"Have you come out yet?" There was a bit of impatience in this question, but it was actually only the second time.

"Come here." The boy's voice was full of youthfulness, his facial features were very clear, there was a little untrimmed hair between his eyebrows, the roots were distinct and completely black, "My mother is still going to the bathroom, you Just wait and wait."

"It's really troublesome." Ye Fu Yi didn't say it directly to the phone, but said it into the air after hanging up the phone.

He turned off the car lights, took out the car keys and threw them on the co-pilot, resting his left elbow on the door with the window rolled down, still holding the phone in his hand.

He browsed through the cell phone address book, scrolling down aimlessly. He seldom browses Weibo with his cell phone after getting old. The dense words and intricate information give him a headache, and there is nothing interesting in the circle of friends. Ye Fuyi Not interested in other people's lives.

He kept scrolling through the address book, and when he reached the column starting with "s", his thumb paused.

In fact, he has a concept in his own cell phone address book: he can't find Su Fengmian's name in this column.

The pause was only because of the thought of Su Fengmian.

He never saved Su Fengmian's name, not just Su Fengmian's, including his son Ye Qihang's and his wife's He Yin's name, he never saved it together with his mobile phone number—to be precise, he and his wife once did. Still in love.

But now there are only a few strings of strange numbers in the mobile phone, so the caller ID is also a combination of isolated numbers, as if each number represents a lonely house, and a lonely story happened in each house. The story pieced together is a person's life.

For Ye Fu Yi, he didn't need to remember which string of numbers belonged to which person. He would remember the incoming calls more and more, and the ringtones of the incoming calls were different for a few special people.

He was staring at the phone, when it vibrated and buzzed in his palm, as if he had caught a few bees, making his hands itchy.

"Hello." Ye Fu Yi picked up the phone. The ringtone was special, so he knew who it was calling.

"Are you working overtime?" Su Fengmian's voice sounded like he had just woken up, but it didn't sound like it.Perhaps his voice has always been so light and ethereal, but it was heavy to Ye Fu Yi.

"...Yes, I finished patrolling the building just now, and now I'm ready to eat." As he spoke, he unnaturally raised his left wrist to look at his watch, and switched his mobile phone to his right hand, "What about you?"

"Me, I'll change the courseware, and then go back to school and have a look at the children when I have time, they are studying at school today." Su Fengmian said.

"Hmm...Happy Valentine's Day."

Su Fengmian was stunned. He never thought that Ye Fu Yi would say happy holidays to him. Ye Fu Yi had been avoiding it before. He never said "Valentine's Day".

"Hurry up..." Before Su Fengmian could finish speaking, the phone was cut off suddenly, and there was a beeping sound, very hurriedly, he took down the phone next to his ear in astonishment, and stared at the group photo on the screen , did not call back, he guessed that Ye Fu Yi was busy, but Ye Fu Yi had just finished talking about getting ready for dinner, so he was not so busy that he hung up the phone without explaining.

Su Fengmian knew that he couldn't always be suspicious of this, but he couldn't let go of his doubts about Ye Fuyi.

He thought that this might be the fault of his own personality, because he had never talked about a real love, so he didn't trust feelings too much.

"What's the matter?" Ji Zhifei stopped the car at the parking space beside the road, handed the five-yuan note to the man who paid the fee, and asked Su Fengmian, only to see Su Fengmian shook his head, and got out of the car.

From Su Fengmian's phone call until he got off the car, his complexion didn't look very good - although he didn't look very good when he got in the car, he looked groggy, and he didn't know he thought he had slept all day.

But Ji Zhifei actually heard what Su Fengmian said just now, and he didn't quite understand when Su Fengmian referred to courseware and self-study.

"This road, come with me. This restaurant is not on the street. In it, the proprietress opened it downstairs at home. The taste is delicious. I've wanted to come here for a long time...Have you ever been to this restaurant? "Ji Zhifei pointed to a stone road, led Su Fengmian away, and walked in front by himself. Seeing that Su Fengmian didn't speak, he had to say a few more words to break the deadlock. He didn't want the meal to be unclear again.

However, the more he talked, the more unaccustomed Su Fengmian became, the less he knew what to say to respond to him, so he nodded frequently to show that he was listening.

This gave Su Fengmian a strange sense of identity exchange.

When he was in school, although Su Fengmian didn't talk a lot, he always unilaterally output a lot of behaviors and looks, and then Ji Zhifei would look at Su Fengmian a few times to show that he was paying attention.

Su Fengmian is used to such a cold face and hot ass, and the roles are reversed all of a sudden. Of course, he can very keenly perceive that Ji Zhifei is trying hard to ease the atmosphere between them.

Ji Zhifei took him into the Yilai Restaurant. The decoration was good, unlike the small restaurant opened by his own family. It may have been open for a long time, so the business grew bigger and he had money for decoration.

Su Fengmian has been here before, but at that time it didn't seem as good-looking as it is now, the whole European style, people who don't know think it's a western restaurant, but it's actually a private kitchen.

He looked around, and Ji Zhifei took the opportunity to say: "The environment is very good, don't worry, the taste is also good."

"I know, I've been here before, but it's not that magnificent, and even a little... how should I put it, exaggerated."

"Then it seems that the proprietress has earned a lot." Ji Zhifei smiled in relief as he spoke, because Su Fengmian finally said a complete sentence, which meant that their atmosphere could be more relaxed.

Su Fengmian and him stared at each other for a few seconds, then retracted their eyes restrainedly.

Ji Zhifei's smile is beautiful, he has always liked Ji Zhifei's smile, probably because it is rare, so it is precious.

But what is different from before is that this kind of smile is no longer the smile of youth - there is somewhat superior frivolity in it, but a kind of comfortable smile like spring breeze that has faded away from the youthful feeling. The corners of the eyes and the forehead The fine lines on the skin made Ji Zhifei a lot gentler. At that moment just now, there was no coldness in Ji Zhifei's eyes, only softness.

This seems to be Ji Zhifei's usual appearance, the appearance he should have, the appearance Su Fengmian expects.

It's hard for Su Fengmian to imagine that Ji Zhifei is not married or in love, but then he thinks that they are actually more or less alike, but they don't like to say anything, and they don't like to express, especially verbally.

It is difficult for people who don't know how to speak to open up. Su Fengmian chose not to open up. I don't know what Ji Zhifei chose.

"Sit down, I reserved a room so quiet." Ji Zhifei took him into a private room, and soon the waiter came up with the menu. After Ji Zhifei confirmed, the waiter went out, so there were only two people left alone.

Ye Fu Yi didn't like to be alone with the co-pilot's woman, that is, his wife He Yin. In fact, He Yin didn't like it either, but there was still a difference between their dislikes.

He Yin knew that Ye Fu Yi didn't like it, so he tried his best to avoid it.

If her son hadn't come back from abroad for the festival, she wouldn't have the guts to have dinner with Ye Fu Yi.

They haven't eaten together for a long time, and every time they get together, they always quarrel, and finally break up unhappy.

"That... Fu Yi, where should we eat?" He Yin asked him.

She was dressed very grandly today, wearing pearl earrings, a leather jacket, and a little makeup.

He Yin is in her forties this year, slightly older than Ye Fuyi, and her skin and complexion are usually not good.

Ye Fu Yi can't remember when He Yin didn't go shopping with him very often, and she didn't like to tidy herself up. She stayed at home every day. She used to take her son to school, but now she didn't look for a job after his son went abroad. , but at home, Ye Fu Yi didn't know what she was busy with.

If he had to find a time point to confirm He Yin's changes, he could only remember that after entering the hospital, he seldom went home, most of them stayed overnight or lived in the dormitory, so he guessed that He Yin might It's because I feel that there is less time to get along, so there is no need to tidy myself up so well.

Later, with the support of his parents, Ye Fuyi bought a house near Jingrong Hospital, let alone going home.

He Yin didn't know about this.

Going forward, that is, in the past two years, his son will go abroad, which will cost a lot of money, and Ye Fuyi will be even more busy. Apart from hospital affairs, he will often attend expert meetings, prepare materials, and research for promotion. Sometimes I have to go out to study.

So probably slowly, every time He Yin called and sent messages when he was on a business trip or busy in the clinic, he would lose his temper, quarrel and doubt if he didn’t reply for a long time, which made him more and more anxious. On one business trip, he had an affair. , by accident, he never thought about having an affair, so he didn't intend to be responsible for it, but He Yin knew it.

How did he know about it? Perhaps He Yin found out about it from a colleague of Ye Fuyi.

They quarreled until they were about to divorce. Ye Fuyi had already signed the divorce agreement written by He Yin, but when the divorce was about to happen, He Yin stopped arguing and tore up the agreement. Yes, we'll talk about it later.

After a while, He Yin didn't mention this matter either.She also turned a blind eye to everything after that.

"Where do you want to go?" Ye Fu Yi asked He Yin back, driving in the city without bounds.

Ye Qihang sat in the back seat and didn't make a sound. He knew that the relationship between his parents was not good. As for how bad it was, he didn't know much about it. He didn't know many family affairs after going abroad.

"Do you know Yilai?" He Yin raised a little interest and said tentatively, "Let's go to Yilai, I like the private dishes there... We haven't eaten home-cooked food together for a long time .”

"Private food?" Ye Fu Yi sneered faintly, "I thought you were going to eat Western food when you dressed like this."

He Yin didn't say anything, but taking advantage of Ye Fu Yi not paying attention while driving, he took off the two pearl earrings and held them in the palm of his hand.

The silver needles of the earrings were very difficult to handle, so she casually put them in the storage side cabinet on the passenger door.
