dedicated to memorial day

Originally, it was time to close the store at eight o'clock, and then catch the last bus to go home.It was only because of some minor mistakes that the door was closed at [-]:[-], and Xiaoxi got off work on time at [-]:[-], and he became dawdled by himself.

The last bus must be late.This kind of situation is not uncommon, it's just that it has been raining for a day, and the ground is wet and hard to move, so it becomes more troublesome.

Zhou Yu stood under the eaves, the rain shone brightly by the street lamps, the peach blossoms were knocked down by the drizzle, and the ground was red.When it rains, he always feels that his body becomes wet, and then he walks into the rain with an umbrella.

It's still not cost-effective to take a taxi, anyway, it doesn't matter what time you get home.

Zhou Yu walked slowly in the rain, the street was very quiet, the town had basically fallen asleep at eight o'clock, the spring rain was very light, interspersed with a few peach blossoms falling slowly, and the umbrella could not make any sound.

I don't know when a car was following him at the same pace. At first Zhou Yu thought he was blocking the other party's way, so he gave way a few times, until the other party rolled down the window and called his name, he bent down to look at the car. Clear the people inside.

"Doctor Cheng?"

Zhou Yu found that every time he saw Cheng Jingshen, he would call out Cheng Jingshen's name in a questioning way.

"Boss Zhou." Cheng Jingshen put one hand on the steering wheel and looked at him from the car window, "Come up quickly."

Zhou Yu walked around to the other end and opened the car door, shook the umbrella in his hand twice into the water and got in the car.

"Doctor Cheng, are you leaving get off work so late?" Zhou Yu asked.

Cheng Jingshen took out two napkins and handed them to him, asking him to wipe off the rainwater on the woolen coat.Zhou Yu took it carefully, folded the paper towel into a rectangle, and then carefully wiped his arm and the raindrops that had just splashed on his forehead.

Cheng Jingshen glanced at him and said, "No, I went out for dinner."

Zhou Yu said "oh" softly, but he had doubts in his heart.

There are no restaurants on this street, and most of them are grocery stores. If you want to eat, you can go to the previous street, so you don't need to go through this street to go back to the apartment.

"How long have you been here?" Cheng Jingshen asked casually.

"here?"

"In this small town."

Zhou Yu reacted and said, "296 days."

Cheng Jingshen turned the steering wheel, smiled and said, "Remember it carefully."

Zhou Yu lowered his head and subconsciously said it.The correct answer should be: not sure, maybe half a year.

"What about you?" Zhou Yu asked.

Cheng Jingshen said: "The day we met was my first day here."

Zhou Yu said "ah" softly, but couldn't think of any answer.

"I bought a lot of decoration materials recently, but I can't do anything with them after they arrive. Now they're all thrown in the corner." Cheng Jingshen stared straight ahead, with a smile on his lips, and casually raised the topic again.

"There are so many things, I don't know where to start first." Zhou Yu said.

Cheng Jingshen nodded approvingly: "Yes."

"But it has to start." Cheng Jingshen turned his face, glanced at him and said, "So there may be a sound of renovation recently, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay." Zhou Yu shook his head, thinking of something again, "However, the landlord of our building doesn't seem to allow modification of the room."

Cheng Jingshen said flatly, "I bought it."

Zhou Yu was taken aback and asked, "Do you want to stay here?"

"En." Cheng Jingshen said.

Few people from other cities would want to stay here. People come here to see the flowers, the water, and the shapes of the buildings, but they don’t want to stop here.

But Zhou Yu thought about it again, probably because of his lover, because only because of his lover would he think where to stop.

"What about you? Are you going to settle here?"

"Probably not."

"Really? Then why would you want to open a flower shop here?"

"because--"

Zhou Yu recalled the too quiet room after his mother passed away, and himself in the unprecedented silence.In just one month, relatives died and lovers separated. Although I tried my best to put myself in a normal state, I still didn't recover.Often at night when he couldn't sleep, he stepped on his shadow to go out, walked on the deserted streets, and the boredom that surfaced in his heart made him feel like a dispensable farce.

Consciously unworthy of being loved, and knowing that it is difficult to love.Probably everyone has thought about leaving.Not from the room, but from the whole, from life, from the world.

"Because I was trapped before." Zhou Yu said.

It seems that he gave a strange answer again, so he might be misunderstood as a strange person.

"Yes, people are easily restrained." Cheng Jingshen said while turning the steering wheel, "On some unexpected things."

Both fell silent.That audible silence.

The rain hit the car windows and was quickly cleared by the wipers. The voice of TUNG in the car stereo was floating and shaking, singing the virtual reality of 97.It is a very small album, and it is also the only album of TUNG so far.

"It's raining heavily on my beloved planet, hug, you're wearing a raincoat; hug again, I'm wearing gloves; still hug, though I'm wearing a mask; keep hugging, my whole body is on fire."

When the car was parked in the parking lot, the two walked towards the elevator together.Cheng Jingshen said that the parking space he bought was too far away from the elevator, and he always had to walk a long way to get it.Zhou Yu said that there is no other way.In the elevator mileage, Depth of Field asked Zhou Yu's phone number to repair the wifi, and Zhou Yu said that he sent it to him on WeChat.

The key was inserted into the door, and there was a slight "click" sound, which echoed in the empty corridor.

"Good night." Cheng Jingshen said.

"Good night."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he flashed into the room. At the last second when the door closed, Zhou Yu saw Cheng Jingshen's face facing him through the crack of the door.

Then, the door closed.

Zhou Yu collapsed on the sofa without taking off his coat. He closed his eyes and recalled the two encounters today, the crowded bus, the fingers holding the paper bag, the dry smell, and "Virtual Reality".

embrace.

Zhou Yu got up and took off his coat, feeling that the moisture brought in from the outside was being dried a little bit, and when he closed his eyes, he heard the "hug" and Cheng Jingshen's last "good night" from the car stereo.

Keep hugging.

Zhou Yu pulled the blanket beside him.I hope I don't have the same dream again today, Zhou Yu fell into darkness thinking of this.

Actually dreamed of nothing.

When the warm sunshine shone on the sofa from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the morning, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little empty.

The light refracted in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is like stagnant time. It is the same every day, but if you look closely, you will find that it is different.

Let's wear spring clothes today.

Go to the intersection to buy breakfast.

Take the earlier bus.

Doctor Cheng, you'd better be just passing by
