Spring time

The next day, I got up early, and An Xin was still fast asleep beside me.I touched An Xin's forehead, the temperature was not as hot as yesterday, but still had a low fever, so I felt relieved a little.After putting on everything, he quietly went downstairs to help An Xin buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks, and put them on the table together with some anti-fever and cold medicine, and left a note telling An Xin: I am going to work, let her take medicine, eat on time, and take care of her. Be good to yourself, I'll see her again after work.After finishing my work, I went to the company.

I've been working all day, I'm absent-minded, and there are piles of manuscripts on the desk waiting for me to deal with, but I can't read a single word, and I'm still immersed in the memories of last night.

An Xin didn't know why she woke up in the early hours of the morning. She thought I didn't know, but I was in a half-dream and half-awake state because of my chaotic thoughts. I could clearly feel An Xin leaning over me cautiously. It was so hot, even though I didn't dare to open my eyes, I still felt that An Xin was looking at me, that kind of eyes could almost burn me.

After reassuring, use your hands to gently stroke along the contours of my face, starting from my forehead and eyebrows, then to the eyes and eyelashes, with fingertips running down the bridge of the nose, and finally staying on my lips, and then use Fingers gently rubbing my lips.This torment may have lasted less than a minute, but it seemed to me as long as half a century. Just when I couldn't bear it anymore and opened my eyes, An Xin stopped tormenting me, and lay quietly again In my arms, continue to sleep.

It wasn't until An Xin's breathing became stable again that I dared to open my eyes pretending to be asleep, but after that time, I completely lost sleep.

Don't worry, you, what's the matter?

Since that day, I went straight to An Xin’s house almost every day after get off work, helped her cook, wash and wash, had dinner with her, watched TV together, chatted, and An Xin and I talked about interesting things in the company, and she was very generous. If you are interested, gossip with me about the characters of some soap operas.When the time comes, I will say goodbye to An Xin and drive home.

We have returned to the original state, calm and comfortable.An Xin didn't ask about my past anymore, and I was lucky enough to think that An Xin suddenly regarded what happened two years ago as a blank memory, like a chicken rib, so I didn't pursue it anymore.In this regard, I kept silent about my life in Yunnan for more than two years, as if I had never left.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, we went to work, and we just chatted and got together after get off work from time to time, and went back to our respective homes.

An Xin always called me at the company during the lunch break, asking me how I was doing today; what I had for lunch; or chatting with each other about the company.Sometimes Xing can chat for half an hour.Reassure yourself that it's about having some fun with the mundane work in the company so that life doesn't get boring.

I laughed and asked An Xin, "If you want to have fun, you don't just have to call me. Why don't you talk to others?"

But An Xin answered me seriously.

Because looking for fun on you is more effective than other people, talking to you, I will not feel tired for the whole afternoon, or even if I work overtime, so I will rely on you.

Gradually, I got used to the short midday conversation with An Xin every day, and I enjoyed this feeling, listening to An Xin or the beaming voice on the other end of the phone, or joking with me mischievously; or talking softly The content of the story, sometimes it is a book, sometimes it is about a movie.

And most of the time, I just listen quietly and insert a few words from time to time, because I like An Xin's slightly magnetic and pleasant voice, but just listening to it makes me feel that it's a pity that An Xin doesn't become a radio station NJ.

Sometimes I would stay overnight at An Xin's house, and before going to bed, I would ask An Xin to tell me some stories, similar to short stories, and I would always fall asleep next to An Xin before the story was over.I like An Xin to talk to me in a gentle and delicate tone before going to bed, like a lullaby, quiet, soft and comfortable, like the spring breeze in February that can't help but make people fall asleep.

It’s just that the weather is getting colder and colder, and An Xin’s work is getting more and more busy. Because at the end of the year, An Xin is in charge of other projects, and she is very busy. During lunch, I took some time to chat with me in the stairwell, and then hung up in a hurry.I later told her that if she was busy, she should stop talking to me, so it would be better to lie down on the table and take a rest for a while.But An Xin always insisted, saying that it doesn't matter.But these are the ones that she calls a lot, and I seldom call them. Most of the time, I just hold my mobile phone in the office and call quietly and reassuringly.

But until that day, when the lunch break was coming to an end, I still couldn't wait for An Xin's regular call every day. I was a little anxious and was about to call, but finally An Xin called.She said sorry that she was so busy with work that she forgot the time and only called now.

I asked her if she had lunch.An Xin said that I haven't had time to eat yet, but now I have lost my appetite. I don't like the company's order meals very much, and I don't want to spend time ordering takeaway, so I just let it go.I hastily persuaded her, how can this work, you have to work overtime tonight, at least eat something, or you will suffer from stomach problems again.

An Xin just agreed and promised that I would find something to fill my stomach, and let me get busy before hanging up.

I was a little fidgeting in the office with my mobile phone in hand. I knew that with An Xin's personality, I would just not eat anything in the future, and it would be more likely to stay in the studio until evening before going home to cook some instant noodles.After much deliberation, I took an hour off with the company and immediately rushed downstairs.

Our office is on the 9th floor, but when I saw the elevator was on the first floor, I went down the stairs.Anxiously ran out to buy her favorite three delicacies wonton for An Xin, bought some matcha puffs and some milk she likes, and drove to An Xin's company.

I asked the reception lady at the front desk to help deliver it, and then called An Xin to tell her to eat her lunch as soon as possible, and save the snack for supper when working overtime.An Xin was very surprised when she received my call and asked if I was downstairs in the company.I said I was on leave and I had to go back soon so I wouldn't bother you upstairs.An Xin hurriedly told me to wait, and she went downstairs to find me, so I had no choice but to persuade her, "You really don't need to bother, you still have to work." But An Xin insisted, and I had no choice but to get out of the car at the entrance of An Xin's company wait for her.

After a while, I saw An Xin trotting towards me, so I waved to her.When An Xin saw me, I became anxious.

Why did you run out with so little on, where's the coat?

I had no choice but to tell her with a guilty conscience that I was in a hurry when I went out and I forgot to bring my clothes, but I ran for a while while shopping, and now I am sweating because of the heat, not cold.

An Xin distressedly took off the down jacket on her body and put it on me regardless of my objection.

Didn't you say that I will find something to eat, why are you still here.

I argued in a low voice, An Xin, if I don't come, it's no wonder you eat it.

An Xin just stared at me like this for about a minute, until I felt a little uncomfortable, and just about to lower my head, An Xin hugged me in her arms all of a sudden, as if he wanted to say something to me. , but in the end he didn't say it.

Of course, I... thank you.Well, go back quickly, don't miss the time for work.

An Xin then said goodbye to me and turned back to the company.

On the way back, I received a text message from An Xin, she wrote, although I was a little moved, but you are not allowed to have a next time, this is a waste of time and delays your work.

The moment I saw it, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise, although when I returned to the company, it was more than an hour later than when I asked for leave, which meant that I had to work overtime to complete the work that I hadn't finished today.But that day I was in a rare happy mood, and there was a smile on the corner of my mouth from time to time that I didn't even notice.

I always feel that since I reconciled with An Xin, An Xin's attitude towards me is a little different, but I can't express that feeling, but the relationship between us seems to have advanced to a higher level than before I left, and it has become a little bit different. It's ambiguous.

Sometimes An Xin would gently pinch my cheeks, but the way she looked at me was full of water, calm and deep, almost drowning me in it; sometimes, I could feel that An Xin was looking at me, My eyes were very hot, but I didn't dare to look up, but I didn't want to believe that this was just speculation, because what happened was too real.

And most of the time, An Xin would hug me from behind without anyone noticing when I was cooking, and would lie on my back without saying a word, watching me cook.I once persuaded An Xin that there was a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen and told her to get out quickly, but An Xin said that she likes to see how I cook and the smell on my body, it feels like home.

These illusions of being far and near, making me feel that our current state is not just a simple friendship, it seems that there is something between us, like a thin layer of veil, which will be broken with just a light poke .But even so, I will not take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper.Because I don't know what's waiting for me behind it after I uncover it.I don't want to know because I'm afraid that the ending will be different from what I imagined; because these are all my own imaginations.

Strictly speaking, the way An Xin and I get along now is no longer like the mutual dependence of friends before, but more like an old married couple who have passed the seven-year itch.I live a life that is flat but satisfied, cooking and enjoying together; after a simple meal, we hold hands and take a walk on the sycamore path in the community; We always stuff a shopping cart full of ingredients, so much that we can hardly put it down. At this moment, An Xin and I stick out our tongues at each other, smile knowingly, and push the cart to the cashier.Then watch a favorite movie together, and occasionally go out to fight tooth festivals together; drive to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze; drink beer and eat some dried fruits and vegetables on the beach, or, I just sit on the sofa and turn on the floor lamp, under the orange light Looking down at a thick book, quietly waiting for An Xin to work overtime and return late.

How warm and comfortable these days are to me.I once asked An Xin why she hasn't tried to start a relationship again, it will be hard to find after a long time.An Xin leaning on my shoulder suddenly raised her head to look at me and told me seriously.

It's too troublesome to get to know another person again, but in fact, it's not bad to be with you, just two people.

It's just that An Xin paused for a while and said with a smile, what about you, when will you find the person you like, remember to pull over first and let me check.

In the dark night, I looked at An Xin and blinked her bright eyes, but didn't speak again.

I thought we would continue to run our lives peacefully and warmly in this way until I found her significant other in peace of mind. Unfortunately, such a beautiful status quo was only maintained for 4 months, and soon my brother arrived. broken.
