love sinus late
Chapter 3
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Zhao Siqi finally finished her day's work and returned home.
After taking a shower, brushing my teeth, and lying on the bed, it's almost a little closer.His body is tired, but his mind is clear.
Perhaps it was due to seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time tonight, Zhao Siqi closed his eyes, and the image of high school unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
It was a dusty memory for a long time, if he hadn't met Gao Chi tonight, he would not have deliberately recalled it.
It's just that remembering is a very exhausting thing. In the endless memories, he gradually felt drowsy, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Zhao Siqi was woken up by Zhao Zhongwei's call.
Picking up the phone, it was already 10:30.His head was a little heavy, and Zhao Zhongwei called him several times on the phone before he could react.
"Si Qi, are you still sleeping?" Zhao Zhongwei asked.
"No, I'm up." Zhao Siqi rubbed her temples.He had a dream all night last night, and he is not fully awake yet.
Zhao Zhongwei had nothing else to do when he called, but asked him to come to eat early at noon. He bought seafood and had to eat it while it was fresh.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Siqi fell back on the bed, closed her eyes, and tried to return to the dream just now, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
At noon, Zhao Siqi went to the supermarket to buy two boxes of fruit and tea, and then took the subway to Zhao Zhongwei's house.
The door was opened for him by two girls who looked exactly the same, one was wearing a light blue denim sundress, the other was wearing a white T-shirt and black straight-leg pants.
They are like two daffodils, fresh and beautiful, and their voices are crisp and sweet: "Brother Si Qi, you are here."
Zhao Siqi nodded, "Hello."
A woman in her fifties came out of the kitchen, wearing a light yellow apron around her waist. She saw Zhao Siqi and smiled kindly, "Is Siqi here?"
This is Zhao Zhongwei's current wife, Chen Yufang. Zhao Siqi nodded slightly to her, called "Aunt Chen", and handed her the fruit and tea in his hand.
"You child, you finally have time to eat, why do you still bring something?"
Zhao Siqi said: "A little heart, please accept it."
Chen Yufang raised her hand to refuse, but she couldn't hold back Zhao Siqi.The two pushed back and forth a few times, and finally Chen Yufang stopped being polite, took it and put it on the coffee table, turned to her daughter and said, "Yuanyuan, why are you still standing there, quickly get a pair of slippers for Si Qi."
"Oh, yes!" The girl in the denim skirt responded, bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Zhao Siqi.
Zhao Siqi reached out to take it, thanked her, and at the same time remembered in her heart that the one wearing the skirt today is Yuanyuan, and the one wearing trousers is Manman.
Zhao Zhongwei went downstairs to pick up the courier and came back 10 minutes later.During these 10 minutes, Chen Yufang was busy cooking in the kitchen, so she asked Yuanyuan and Manman to entertain Zhao Siqi first.
Yuanyuan and Manman are twins, 17 years old this year, three generations behind Zhao Siqi.They usually don't communicate often, and now they are sitting together in the living room, Zhao Siqi doesn't know what to talk to them about.
The three of them remained silent at the same time, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
In the end, he still asked, "Brother Si Qi, do you want to watch TV?"
Zhao Siqi nodded and said "OK".
Fortunately, Zhao Zhongwei came back not long after.There were finally other voices in the living room, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
For some reason, Zhao Siqi suddenly thought of Gao Chi whom he met last night, and of the interaction between him and his younger brother, that kind of intimacy and familiarity, which he might never be able to obtain and give.
The five people sat together to eat, during which Zhao Zhongwei opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate Zhao Siqi's 26th birthday.
After eating, Zhao Siqi helped Chen Yufang put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and then said to Zhao Zhongwei: "Dad, I won't sit down, you and Aunt Chen can go to rest later."
Zhao Zhongwei was making tea: "No rush, just have a cup of tea before leaving."
Zhao Siqi shook her head: "Don't drink, I have something to do later."
Zhao Zhongwei said, "Aren't you not on duty today?"
Zhao Siqi bent over to put on her shoes: "It's an appointment with a friend."
Zhao Zhongwei smiled and said, "That's good. You young people should go out and have fun more, and don't stay at home all day long."
Zhao Siqi's "hmm" was regarded as a response, but Zhao Zhongwei did not expect to continue to ask: "Is it a male friend or a female friend?"
Zhao Siqi casually said: "Male friends."
Zhao Zhongwei seemed a little dissatisfied: "After today you will be 26, you should meet more girls."
It is self-evident what this means.Zhao Siqi lowered his head to tie his shoelaces, pretending not to understand, but unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongwei turned his head and said to the twin daughters sitting on the sofa: "Yuanyuan, Manman, you have a good female classmate who you can introduce to Si Qi. "
Zhao Siqi was startled, raised her head and said, "Dad, don't be kidding, they are only so old."
Zhao Zhongwei smiled and said, "Just getting to know each other, why are you nervous?"
"Don't worry about it." Zhao Siqi stepped out, not wanting to talk about this topic.
Zhao Zhongwei followed suit and sent him to the elevator, "Okay, I don't worry about it, but you have to take care of it yourself."
Zhao Siqi waved her hand: "Understood."
Hearing his tone, Zhao Zhongwei knew that he didn't take it seriously. He sighed helplessly and said, "Be careful on the way back. Come to eat again another day."
Zhao Siqi nodded, went downstairs and directly took the subway home.
When I got home, I took a nap, and it was already five o'clock when I woke up.
Zhao Siqi didn't want to cook by herself, so she decided to eat something outside alone.
When I went out, the sky was still bright. As a coastal city, S city was blowing hot and humid wind.Zhao Siqi was not afraid of sweating, so he picked a nearby roadside stall and ordered a bowl of beef offal.
After eating the noodles, he was not in a hurry to go home, but walked slowly along the street.
After walking about a kilometer, at the corner of the road, a signboard with flashing neon lights caught his attention.
This is a newly opened bar, and the first week of opening is [-]% off the price of alcohol, and you can also participate in a lucky draw.
Zhao Siqi stopped at the door for a few seconds, read the information above and planned to leave.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of singing in the store.After listening for a while, Zhao Siqi changed her mind.
He thought, Zhao Zhongwei always told him to go out to play more and meet some new friends, maybe this is an opportunity, he always has to take the first step.
In fact, strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a clean house. There are no DJs shaking their heads and playing discs, and there are no hot and unrestrained dancers.Most people are sitting on chairs, tasting wine and listening to music quietly.
The resident singer was singing an old Cantonese song, and the guests in the audience raised their wine glasses and shook them gently with the beat.
After the song was over, the lights above his head turned brighter, and the male singer asked if he had any friends who had a birthday this month.
Several girls in front raised their hands.Infected by the atmosphere here, Zhao Siqi boldly lifted it up too.
The male singer asked their birthdays respectively. When Zhao Siqi was asked, he hesitated and said, "July [-]th."
The male singer was surprised: "Isn't that today?"
Zhao Siqi nodded.
"That's right, everyone who is here today with a July birthday can order a song for free. This friend," the male singer looked at Zhao Siqi, "today is your birthday, so you order first."
Zhao Siqi was a little nervous, he hadn't been watched by so many people for a long time.Under the eyes of everyone, he thought for a while, and said the title of a song by Jacky Cheung.
The background music played, the male singer picked up the guitar and sang quickly.
The familiar melody echoed in his ears, and Zhao Siqi was in a trance for a moment. He looked at the singer who played and sang on the stage, and inevitably thought of another person.
That person can also play the guitar, and also loves to listen to Jacky Cheung's songs.
When the music ends, the memories come to an abrupt end.Zhao Siqi took a deep breath, drank the last sip of wine in the glass, got up and left the bar.
--------
More than a month has passed in a flash, and every day is still a monotonous and boring life, either at work or at home.It's just that occasionally when she is free, Zhao Siqi will go to that bar to drink and listen to music.
He doesn't speak much, and he doesn't have a strong sense of presence, but he comes more often, and the singer and the bartender are familiar with him, and they will say hello when they meet occasionally.
For Zhao Siqi, this is already a huge improvement in social skills.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to be on the night shift.
Zhao Siqi and his colleagues were eating boxed lunches by the side of the road. He sat on a small bench, took out his mobile phone while eating, and sent messages of blessing to Zhao Zhongwei, Chen Yufang and the two twin sisters.
After sending it, he looked through the address book again, thinking about whether to send a sentence to his colleagues.
His slender fingers slid slowly across the screen, and when he touched a name, he stopped.
It's Gochi.
After the last encounter, they added each other's WeChat, but never contacted each other.Zhao Siqi retracted her fingers, staring at the name in a daze.
After a minute, he didn't know where the courage came from. He clicked on Gaochi's dialog box and quickly entered the four words "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival".
After typing, my finger was hanging on the send button, and I didn't click it for a long time.
"Xiao Zhao, you haven't finished eating yet?"
Tonight, the colleague who was in charge of the same area as him came over and patted him on the shoulder, "We will ride there together later on duty?"
Zhao Siqi's fingers trembled and accidentally touched the send button.
The message was delivered successfully.
The colleague glanced at the chat interface and joked: "Who are you chatting with? Girlfriend?"
"No." Zhao Siqi subconsciously turned off the screen of the phone, feeling a little guilty, and said again: "Not a girlfriend."
The colleague stopped teasing him: "Okay, then eat quickly, it's almost time to turn over."
That night, Zhao Siqi did not look at the phone.
He was afraid, afraid that Gao Chi would not reply, but in his impression, Gao Chi was a polite person, and he would not fail to reply to messages, so there was some expectation hidden in this fear.
Zhao Siqi didn't turn on her phone until she got home from work, washed up, and lay on the bed.
Gao Chi really replied to him.
——Thank you, and wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was a very polite and polite sentence, but Zhao Siqi bent his eyes and smiled.
He stared at this line of words for nearly a minute, until his eyes were a little sore, he turned off the screen, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
That night, Zhao Siqi had a dream about high school.
He dreamed of the first day of the second year of high school, the day he met Gao Chi for the first time.
After taking a shower, brushing my teeth, and lying on the bed, it's almost a little closer.His body is tired, but his mind is clear.
Perhaps it was due to seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time tonight, Zhao Siqi closed his eyes, and the image of high school unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
