cute and cool

Before going to bed, Cheng Wang took a closer look at the snow scene.

The snow on the mountain is different from that in the city. It is very thick. After zooming in and looking carefully, there is ice in the higher places.

Cheng Wang had never been to a plateau, so he didn't know how serious altitude sickness would be.He searched the Internet, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

He picked a link and sent it to Qiao Beixin, who replied with a full stop half a minute later.

Afterwards, he returned a consoling expression with a text: It's okay, it's not so serious, what was said on the Internet is too exaggerated.

Cheng Wang didn't reply.

Maybe it was because he was a little worried about Qiao Beixin in his heart. When he was sleeping that night, Cheng Wang had a dream.

He dreamed of fulfilling his wish with Qiao Beixin.

The content of the dream was roughly the same as the reality. Qiao Beixin comforted him. Wang Yan didn't want to see him, so it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

After that, Qiao Beixin disappeared, and only the woman remained in his dream.

The appearance of Wang Yan in his dreams has always been something that scares him very much. Those childhoods that he tried so hard to forget will always come back with nightmares.

The time when he was accompanied by Qiao Beixin in high school gave him the courage to face these things. In the past few years, he rarely dreamed of the past.

This is the first time Cheng Wang has dreamed of her since returning from fulfilling his last wish.

In the dream, Wang Yan had no makeup on, her plain face was beautiful and pure.She wore the floral dress she wore when she sent Cheng Wang back to Cheng Wanyu's house, and she was no longer mean or aggressive.

She sat on the sofa in the tube building, propped her chin with her right hand, and looked at Cheng Wang standing in front of him.

Cheng Wang in the dream is no longer a little boy, he has grown taller and grown up.

In my impression, their mother and son rarely had such quiet time together.Wang Yan is always very noisy. She dislikes her son's crying, scolds men every day, and has to rely on men to live.

She vented her anger towards Cheng Wanyu on her innocent son.

But this time she didn't.

She sighed lowly and said, "Don't come to me."

The woman's words are still cold: "I will pretend that I never gave birth to your son, and you never have my mother. Whether I live or die in the future, whether I am good or bad, has nothing to do with you. Similarly, you live well Well, my old lady will not come to take advantage of you; if you have a bad life, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to blame, blame you for not having a good birth."

After saying this, the woman stood up from the sofa.In the dream, she didn't wear shoes, and opened the wooden door of the old house with her bare feet.

The wooden door creaked, waking Cheng Wang from his dream.

In this brief dream, the last scene the woman left for him was the back view of turning away.She stood at the door hesitating for a few seconds, then said "Let's go" softly.

Although it was not a nightmare, this dream still made Cheng Wang wake up early.

Before dawn, Cheng Wang reached out to the bedside table, trying to pull out his phone to check the time.When he raised his wrist, the smart watch on his wrist lit up.

It was given by Qiao Beixin before, saying that it could monitor sleep status, so he insisted on wearing it.

If it weren't for the fact that the sleep report needs to be transmitted to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, Qiao Beixin would also try to pair the watch with his mobile phone.

Thinking of this, Cheng Wang smiled.

After waking up from sleep, it was difficult for Cheng Wang to fall asleep again, so he simply got up.It's just past seven o'clock, and it's the moment when the city is just waking up.

After washing up, Cheng Wang glanced at his phone, and was surprised to see that there were unread WeChat messages.

- Joe: I'm really convinced

-Joe: Woke up early in the morning for work

Below are a few angry emojis.

Cheng Wangxiao collapsed on the bed, and replied to him, "Some people were desperate to be policemen at that time, which made the teacher mad."

Qiao Beixin was probably busy, so he didn't move all day, so he sent him a sighing expression after eight o'clock in the evening, followed by a few photos.

It snowed again where he went, and the snow was very thick, much thicker than that in Qin City in winter.

There is a photo of Qiao Beixin's legs, with snow covering his calf.

Cheng Wang replied: "Is it snowing so much?" !

Qiao Beixin immediately hung up the video and came over.

After staying here for a long time, this person has a good temper. He was expressionless at first, but now he looks even more fierce.

But every time he put on a fierce face, Cheng Wang wanted to laugh, and this time too.

Qiao Beixin was full of complaints at first, but when the video was connected, he saw Cheng Wang's suppressed smile and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Anyway, you'll be happy to see me unlucky." Qiao Beixin said.

There was a sudden blizzard on the plateau last night, and they were called up early in the morning to arrange work.

The snow was slippery and the car was difficult to drive. Coupled with the extremely low temperature, the tire pressure kept alarming halfway through the drive.Several colleagues came down to check the situation and spent more than half an hour repairing the car.

All in all, unspeakable misfortune.

After chatting for a few more words, Cheng Wang restrained his teasing expression and said seriously: "I dreamed about my mother this morning."

Qiao Beixin may be the person who knows best how scary the word "dream" is to Cheng Wang. When he heard this, his heart rose in his throat.

"Xiao Wang, you..."

Cheng Wang waved his hand and interrupted him: "I didn't have a nightmare, just an ordinary dream."

He scratched his face and said in confusion: "I dreamed that she told me not to go to her in the future... Just pretend that I don't have her mother."

Qiao Beixin felt that this was unreasonable—whether or not there was such a person, would it really make a big difference to Cheng Wang?He was not good to him when he was a child, and he didn't care about it when he grew up. If you say that the only things he admired for Cheng Cheng were his childhood meals, a few clothes, and a place to live.

Thinking of this, his face sank again.Cheng Wang wanted to laugh again after seeing it.

He pursed his lips, finally smiled lightly, and said, "Tell me, have I been brainwashed by you? After I woke up, I recalled this dream, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that maybe what you said was right. Yes. She doesn’t want to see me and hides from me, which may be a good thing for me.”

Qiao Beixin scratched the screen of her phone, and her face softened: "We have no way of knowing what she really thinks now. Xiao Wang, I just hope that you will stop being sad because of this incident."

Cheng Wang stared at Qiao Beixin for a while, then nodded slowly.

He hesitated again and again, and thanked Qiao Beixin softly.

"Little Qiao, I've always wanted to say thank you." Cheng Wang said with a serious expression, "Actually, I'm not as independent or strong as you think...I..."

He was a little speechless.

Cheng Wang thought sadly that Wang Yan didn't like him, and it couldn't be said that there was no reason of his own at all. He did cry more than ordinary boys.

He can't control the tears all the time.

Cheng Wang wiped his eyes, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Qiao Beixin: "Xiao Wang, don't say that... If I hadn't been urging you to fulfill your wish, you might not have seen her..."

But Cheng Wang shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this. I can't see her, but I will always care about this in my heart...I always feel that there is a hurdle in my heart, and I can't get over it. The process of meeting her this time may be painful, but now I I know she doesn't want to see me."

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little more relaxed: "It may be strange to say that, but I am really relieved."

"And—" Cheng Wang said again, "Fortunately, I went out with you this time, otherwise..."

Cheng Wang has his own insistence on some things.For example, he would be depressed because of the breakup, but he would not complain to others. No one knew why he and Qiao Beixin separated in the first place.

For another example, he would never tell his elder brother about meeting Wang Yan this time.

"Really, if I went out with my eldest brother last time..." Cheng Wang lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, "I would collapse..."

Qiao Beixin reached out and tapped on the metal edge of the phone. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract Cheng Wang's attention.

"Xiao Wang, don't worry, Cheng Jing will never know about this."

A few weeks later, Cheng Wang was temporarily sent on a business trip to a project, and the business trip location was in Xiangshi.

After graduation, he didn't go there again. After work, he took a day of annual leave and walked around Xiangshi.

I also went to find Lu Yi.

Lu Yi didn't go home after graduation, but stayed in Xiangshi to work.The industry he chose was different from Cheng Wang's. He went to a brokerage firm and was busier than Cheng Wang on weekdays.

But no matter how busy you are, if your roommates of seven years come over, you will definitely find time to meet up.

Cheng Wang had nothing to do anyway, so he went directly downstairs to Lu Yi's company and waited for him to get off work.

After meeting, Lu Yi gave him a big bear hug.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to talk about. One dinner wasn't enough, so they went to the bar to drink again in the evening.

The alcohol content is very low, but it looks good. Cheng Wang's glass is red, and there is an orange pinned to the straw.

Unsurprisingly, he was laughed at by Lu Yi: "Hey, Big Chengzi is eating oranges, killing each other, you are so cruel!"

Cheng Wang stared at him speechlessly.

Lu Yi frowned after saying this, he patted his forehead and said to Cheng Wang: "By the way, Cheng Wang, there is something, you can see if it is yours."

He dug out the pen case from his briefcase, took out a mint green pen from it and handed it to Cheng Wang, asking, "Is this pen yours?"

From the moment he took out the pen, Cheng Wang's eyes were glued to it.When Lu Yi handed it in front of him, Cheng Wang held his breath.

That was his pen, the one Qiao Beixin gave him for his birthday that year.

The brand of fountain pen is very popular, but this one is not common, Cheng Wang can recognize it at a glance, this is the one he couldn't find before.

His voice was a little hoarse: "... I thought I lost it."

The bar was very noisy, and Cheng Wang's voice was so low that Lu Yi couldn't hear it clearly, so he leaned over and asked, "What did you say? I found it in my suitcase, I guess it's yours."

It's a long story.

There are too many forms to fill out before graduation. Lu Yi was in a hurry, so he picked up a pen from Cheng Wang's desk and used it. After filling out the form, he hurried to the school to hand it to the teacher, and stuffed the pen into his pocket inside.

The boy was careless, he didn't realize that he was still carrying a pen, and he threw the clothes away when he changed his clothes——

The pen was chubby, and it was rolled into a book or pocket casually, and it was packed into a suitcase because of the busy packing during the graduation season.

At that time, Cheng Wang thought that he had fallen into the trash can and was thrown away, and he didn't think about Lu Yi at all. As soon as Lu Yi started working, he went on business trips all over the country, and the suitcases were piled up in the rented house without even taking them apart. .

Recently, because I bought a house and moved, I have time to pack things.

He said apologetically, "I'm really sorry brother, I was so busy that I just packed it last week. I'm also really stupid. If you didn't come here today, I might not remember that this is your thing."

He took the initiative to stuff the pen into Cheng Wang's bag, then patted him on the shoulder, and apologized again: "I'm really sorry, but it finally returned to its original owner."

Cheng Wang stroked the casing of the pen.

He also bought pens himself after work.When I work and have money, the pens I buy become more and more expensive.Compared with those, the casing Qiao Beixin gave was not refined enough.

But for Cheng Wang, there will never be a more significant pen than this one.

Qiao Beixin knew that Cheng Wang was on a business trip, so he didn't bother him for the past two days.

The night Cheng Wang came back, he caught up with him working overtime, so he didn't chat all day.

Before going to bed, he sent Cheng Wang "Are you asleep?" no one replied, and he could only lie on the bed and scroll through Moments alone.

He saw that about two hours ago, Cheng Wang posted two Moments in succession.

The first is a simple sentence: very happy.

The second one is a video.

The background of the video is dark, the music is loud, and the picture taken is a man at the opposite table.

The man has a very upright face, and he is using a small fork to pick up a cantaloupe from the fruit platter and hand it to the camera.

And the person holding the phone to take pictures was amused by something, and the camera was shaking from laughing. A few seconds later, Cheng Wang's voice came into the video.

"Hahahahaha, Lu Yi, you really..."

What is it?

Qiao Beixin watched the video over and over a dozen times, then turned up the volume to the maximum, and tried to hear what Cheng Wang was saying.

But he was too vague.

Qiao Beixin locked the screen of her phone and stared at the ceiling.

I don't know how long it has been, but I haven't fallen asleep.

Qiao Beixin endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In the middle of the night, he directly sent a message to Cheng Wang, so he could only vent his grievances on the two statuses in Moments.

So at three o'clock in the morning, Qiao Beixin pressed his fingers heavily on the phone screen, and replied four words and three punctuation marks under the video sent by Cheng Wang.

- Who is this person? ? ?
