The author has something to say: rehabilitating plagiarism will be placed at the back, and the middle is mainly the emotional line

The closing ceremony on the second day declared the official end of the four-day summit.

Taking the night flight back to S City, the humid sea breeze and the sound of tides on Hong Kong Island gradually blurred with the altitude of [-] meters.

At midnight, the airport was still brightly lit. After taking the luggage, Pei Lu let the secretary go first, and picked up the car by himself to send Jiang Xing back to the dormitory of S University. Jiang Xing was worried that he was driving tired, so he picked up his suitcase and refused: "Don't worry, I'll take a taxi." It's very convenient."

Pei Lu, who was walking in front, paused, and looked back, his long and sharp eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.

When I was still sitting on the plane, I began to have faint worries in my heart. I was not familiar with the place in Hong Kong Island. Jiang Xing was able to communicate with him freely and depended on him. Personal feelings heat up.

Once he returned to the familiar environment, after Jiang Xing took back the control over his own life, Pei Lu was no longer his only reliance, could everything still be the same as on that idle and romantic island?

Or the bad memories of this city made him close and escape again.

After all, he has seen the speed at which this person turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

The cohabitation life these past few days is like a sour-sweet dream, shining with crystal and hazy brilliance, and it will be shattered at any time.

The midnight draft lifted the corner of Pei Lu's long windbreaker, he clenched the handle of the car door, tucked his long fingers together, and drooped his eyelashes.

In any case, he does not accept going back to the original point between them.

The relationship between them can only go forward and never retreat.

"Pei Lu?" Jiang Xing waved his hand in front of him, saying goodbye neatly, "I'm leaving, goodbye."

Pei Lu held onto his trolley suitcase: "It's too late, I'll see you off."

In fact, he also has a dormitory in S University, but he has other things to do and must return to the company.

Jiang Xing spent four days wildly outside, breathing the familiar air again, and somewhat realized that he had been relying too much on this person these past few days.

This is not so good.

It's not good to want to cling to each other so much when you make friends for the first time.Island life is like a brand new copy of the game. He broke in by accident, has no experience, and can only rely on high-level comrades. Now that he has quit the game, he should resume his own rhythm.

It is not his usual habit to share fun and problems with another person anytime, anywhere.

It is reasonable to be helpless when on a business trip. After returning to the original track, it is better not to bother others if you can do what you can. Besides, Pei Lu is not an idler at all. After returning, he must have a lot of business and private affairs of his own.

But now Pei Lu's attitude is tough, he opened the co-pilot's door and waited for him to get in the car, insisting again: "I'll see you off."

Jiang Xing had no choice but to get up and get in.

There were neon lights all the way, Jiang Xing squinted his eyes for a while and arrived at the downstairs of the dormitory.

"Huh? Why didn't you wake me up?"

The temperature of the air conditioner and the volume of the stereo have been adjusted. Pei Lu should have been waiting for him for a while.

"It's okay." Pei Lu turned on the orange ring light on the roof of the car, put his hands on the steering wheel casually, and waited for him to recover.

Jiang Xing yawned and got out of the car to take the luggage, bent down through the car window, rubbed his sleepy eyes and thanked him.

Pei Lu leaned back on the car seat and looked at him.

The dim yellow streetlight reflected from the car window between his straight nose bridge and thick eyelashes, half of his face could not be seen clearly in the swaying oblique shadow, only a sharp outline was cut out.

"Goodbye, Jiang Xing."

he said softly.

Looking at the other party's fast pace, walking further and further away, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

At a certain moment, the craving for cigarettes surged up like a sea tide, and I touched my pocket, but there was nothing.

But just when that thin and thin figure was about to melt into the shadows of flowers and trees in the night, he stopped suddenly.

Under his steadfast gaze, Jiang Xing turned around and walked back step by step.

He stepped through a mottled and swaying tree shadow, walked around the front of the car, and knocked on the window on Pei Lu's side.

Pei Lu heard the sound and opened it, waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Xing bent down, with the bright moonlight on his head, his eyes were concerned, and he asked softly, "Pei Lu, are you...in a bad mood?"

He just fell asleep in a daze, didn't realize it, got out of the car and thought about it more and more that something was wrong, Pei Lu's expression when he said goodbye was as low as the twilight on the sea in the evening on Hong Kong Island.

Pei Lu was a little surprised, after all, he never had any expectations for Jiang Xing's emotional perception.

The sharp eyebrows softened a little, and there was even a hint of unexpected warmth: "I'm fine."

However, Jiang Xing's string of perceiving emotions is particularly sensitive tonight. He hesitated for a while under Pei Lu's calm gaze, and said in a fulfilling manner: "I seem to be a little hungry, do you want to go eat something with me?" ?”

Pei Lvding stared at him for two seconds, his face was much softer than before: "Get in the car."

So Jiang Xing put his luggage back in the trunk, and the two went to a fish and meat wonton restaurant not far from the university town.

What Pei Lu was worried about did not happen. When he returned to City S, Jiang Xing did not take the initiative to contact Pei Lu at first, but the speed and number of his WeChat replies were vastly different from before.

For the past few days, Pei Lu has to stay in the company to deal with the work accumulated during business trips, and hardly shows up in the laboratory.

But their communication has not decreased, and Jiang Xing has even started to use various emoticons boldly towards him.

Jiang Xing really loves the Teletubbies, imagining the other party with a calm face and unwavering heart sending out these twisted cartoon characters, Pei Lu's heart will float a little bit, this is the only one in his recent pile of work rest.

It's not that Jiang Xing didn't take the initiative to find him, but usually it's because some niche literature can't be found, the deduction of which formula can't be balanced, and the annotation of some treatise has doubts...

The list goes on and on.

Pei Lu smiled wryly, and felt that he was happy, even if he was busy or in a meeting, he would do his best to answer his questions.

Pei Lu is a good teacher. If you can't understand the text, you can take pictures, if you can't understand the photos, you can speak, and if you can't explain the voice, you can talk. Occasionally, a few nights before the defense, they video chat until the phone gets hot.

Jiang Xing is obsessed with communicating with Pei Lu. He may not agree with all the views of the other party, but every conversation and argument allows him to gain new things and benefit a lot.

This man is like his intellectual library, a treasure that he doesn't want others to discover. The deeper he digs into it, the more amazed he is, seeing the shallowness and insignificance of himself from the vastness of others.

He fantasized that he could own a library since he was a child, and now he has Pei Lu, who is his omnipotent, exclusive, and always-on-call private library.
