kiss your brow

In the summer of July, cicadas chirp and the asphalt road exudes a pungent smell.

Chu Ning went to City A on a business trip, and the company told her to go to the head office for training, and when she came back, she would be directly promoted and raised.

These others seem to be a great thing, but Chu Ning understands that it took time to accumulate. She wanted to leave her job and go to city A to find a job with a higher salary than the old company, so the leader arranged for her to train.

Chu Ning has never been to City A, she looks like she came out of a big mountain, when she saw the subway platform and the drink vending machine next to it, she was astonished as if she had discovered the New World.

She hung a big bag and a small bag on her body, carried it on the subway, found a seat and sat down, and her phone rang.

Turning on the mobile phone to answer the call, she whispered, "Mom, I'm in city A, and I'm not in my hometown recently. Don't worry, I'll go back after three months of training."

The woman on the phone kept coughing, and her voice was hoarse when she had a cold: "Ning Ning, your aunt came to say hello to you, and introduced you to a girl who also works in city A. She is a programmer, 40 years old, divorced. There is a girl whose salary is very high, 10,000+ a year, see if I can meet on Wednesday."

It is really embarrassing for Chu Ning, a 30-year-old leftover woman, to be unmarried and unmarried in society.The family urged Bai'er eighty times, but none of them succeeded. She had no intention of getting married, and being single was fine.

Chu Ning looked up at the station lights, and stammered nervously when she heard the blind date, "I, I don't want to..."

"You're already 30, and you still don't think about anything! Look who's not married now, are you the only one doing something special?"

"No, Mom, give me some time."

"Wednesday, go on a blind date with me. It's rare that you are in City A. The two of you get along a lot. Your aunt said that the man is of good character and his family is rich. Don't pick and choose, he's so old! I'll fix it, or you won't come back!"

Chu Ning's busy voice after hanging up came from Chu Ning's ear, and everyone was in a daze. It was a bit embarrassing to go on a blind date.

City A is full of outstanding people, tall buildings and majestic buildings everywhere.The sycamore trees planted in the city center meander and twist, and the sunlight breaks in from the branches and leaves, dazzling and mottled light and shadow.

Chu Ning arrived at the company's dormitory at [-] o'clock in the evening. The outer fence feels like an old community, full of rust, with unknown flowers planted on the oval fence, and a few stray cats played and hid under the car.

There are only two people living in the dormitory, and the other girl is also trained by the branch company, which is not here.

She unloaded her bag to make the bed, took the electric fan out of the bag, and carried all the toiletries with her. The prices in City A are high, and the consumption level is not something she can afford as a migrant worker. She usually saves money on food and expenses, and makes do with it for three months. over.

After tidying up, she lay on the bed, with the whirring sound of the electric fan blowing in her ears, even though she was so hot that she was about to suffer from heat stroke, blowing on the electric fan calmed her mind and cooled her mind naturally.

She took out a photo from her bag and held it up high, quietly staring at the two girls in the photo with her gentle eyes. At that time, she had a young and immature face, bent a shy smile, and slightly moved towards the long-haired girl next to her. Approaching, the girl has a pair of captivating eyes, as black as ink, with straight eyebrows, and a flat and slightly curved mouth, calm and atmospheric.

She is Song Ying, the girl who once let her die for her, but in a blink of an eye, everyone is 30. I don't know if she is married.

Chu Ning is different from Song Ying in her ability. She was awed by students at school. Chu Ning's happiest time was probably being her little follower, going through fire and water for her, willing to do anything, watching her from afar , I feel very happy.

She hasn't seen Song Ying after graduation, and she will contact Song Ying during the holidays. She regards this kind of persistence over the years as the deepest friendship.

Song Ying is in City A, she doesn't know what to do here, but a woman as adaptable as her will shine wherever she goes.

Chu Ning thought that she was here too, so why not make an appointment to invite her out for a meal. Song Ying helped her when she was a student, so she must not be ungrateful.

Taking out her mobile phone, she sat up from the bed and carefully dialed the other party's mobile phone number. She hadn't seen each other for five years, and she didn't know if she had changed the number.

The phone beeped a few times, piercing the eardrum, and vaguely heard the sound of my heart beating. I was always nervous about calling my old classmates.

"Hello who." A steady female voice came from the phone, with a slightly hoarse voice.

Chu Ning blinked, "I, I am Chu Ning."

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

This……

Is she not up yet?Sounds like frosting.

Chu Ning said: "I just came to City A. I'm working in the communications industry now. The head office arranges training. By the way, I thought you were also in City A, so I wanted to ask you out and treat you to dinner."

The woman on the phone was silent for a few seconds, and there was a movement of getting up, she said: "I don't have time today, I just finished my work, and I will go to Orange Square Tea House tomorrow afternoon."

Chu Ning nodded obediently: "Okay, are you going to sleep now?"

Song Ying: "Yes."

I went to bed so early.

Chu Ning was a little depressed. It was rare that the other party hadn't disliked her as an old classmate for five years. Other old classmates went abroad, started their own companies, and all the managers were better than her. They had capital at home and the starting line was far away. faster than others.

Chu Ning's family was poor, her father died early, her mother was in poor health, and her salary was meager after graduation, which could only provide for her family's daily expenses and save some money every month for backup.

Among her classmates, Song Ying was the best. She heard that she had set up a few companies.

In the evening of the next day, the setting sun was inextricably orange. She changed into an orange dress after get off work, trimmed her long hair, and went to the tea house by car to wait for Song Ying at the appointed place.After waiting for a while, the other party didn't come, not even a phone call.

She had already drank nearly ten glasses of water while she was seated, and she was almost full. The boss asked her three times what to order, but she hadn't waited for Song Ying's figure.

Drinking other people's water for nothing, I can't sit still.

The phone rang at this time, she turned on the screen, saw a familiar number, and quickly connected.

"Song Ying, where are you? I'm already here."

"Come to Jiangbin HOLY bar at seven o'clock in the evening. It's a store opened by my friend. I have something to do now. I'll find you later. Remember not to drink."

"are you busy?"

"Well, there is something temporary."

"Okay then." Chu Ning nodded slightly, and looked at the time on the phone, there were two hours until seven o'clock at night.

She paid for the tea without stopping, looked for a map all the way, and took the subway to the HOLY bar.

The colorful lights of the two pillars of the bar float up and down, and the inside is even more isolated from the outside world, extremely noisy.

The sound of the explosive DJ echoed in her ears. For a person like Chu Ning who has never been to a bar, the place is full of golden fans and drunkenness. The strange thing is that there are no men here, and there are quite a few short-haired women.

Someone patted her on the shoulder, Chu Ning was startled, and turned around quickly.

It was a woman with apricot-colored waves, holding a drink in her hand and beckoning to her, "Guest, would you like me to have a drink with you?"

Chu Ning half retreated and half waved her hand in refusal, "Sorry, I don't drink."

The woman has long hair hooked, heavy makeup, and the smell of perfume on her body.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'll buy you a drink."

Chu Ning backed away, and said forcefully, "I, I don't know how to drink, that lady, you have found the wrong person."

"It's okay if you don't drink, can you give me your WeChat ID?"

"mine?"

The woman in front of her smiled, "It's yours. As long as these guests come here, as long as they don't drink, they have to give me their WeChat ID. Don't worry, I'm not a stage lady. I think you look like my dish, so I want to Talk to you more."

Chu Ning was determined not to drink, and Song Ying had also told her not to touch alcohol, she just wanted to wait patiently for Song Ying to come, but she was so confused by this woman.

"Do you want me to sleep with you?"

"No, no, that's my number..." Chu Ning's scalp was frightened. She hadn't heard a woman talking to her like that. She turned on the phone quickly, and a pair of thin, white and long fingers suddenly covered her screen. Ning raised her head in doubt, and found that Ying did not know when she came.

Song Ying turned around and nodded slightly to the woman, saying, "Lina, she is not from here."

When the woman saw her, there was a trace of pity on her face, "Ah, this way, I thought she looked like me, and I thought she was the same kind of person. Oh, it's not the same, why come in and pull it, I don't know if people here like it Is it a woman?"

Chu Ning was stunned when she heard the words, her face turned red, and she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I, I thought they were all here to drink."

"Hey, it's not just about drinking. But since the famous woman has someone, then I won't force others." The woman put down the wine glass, and walked to another booth without interest.

Chu Ning exhaled in shame, her heart was beating wildly, and she was humiliated now.

Song Ying took her aside, there weren't too many people here, she said: "For such a big person, it's not that you don't want to talk to people."

She froze, "I...she..."

"She is a frequent visitor here, she likes to chat up some little girls, she might have mistaken you just now."

Chu Ning responded, "That's it."

It turned out to be Laba here, no wonder there is no boy.

Seeing her distracted, Song Ying frowned: "Do you like that person?"

"Ah..." Like it?

"Unfortunately, she is gone."

"No, I mean, I don't know this is a gay bar." How did she know that there are so many bars in the bar? The key point is that it's her first time to come to the bar, so it's normal not to know.

Song Ying listened to her explanation without much disturbance. She was wearing a foggy purple shirt and a white daisy dress. She had an outstanding temperament and stunning facial features.

She straightened her snow-white sleeves, lowered her long and narrow eyes slowly, stared at her and said, "In City A, there are many bars like this, and you'll get to know them gradually. Over the years, the boyfriend you've talked with should be I've been there before, so I wouldn't be so silly as to be accosted directly by someone."

Chu Ning was embarrassed to say that she hadn't dated a boyfriend for so many years, and she didn't have the chance to taste the taste of love. She tightened her hands uneasily, and said in a low voice, "Even if you are in love, you don't use places like bars."

The corners of Song Ying's mouth curled up, with the side light shining, her face was delicate and upright. At 30 years old, she seemed to have always been very young. There was no obvious difference from when she was in high school. Her skin did not have any fine lines and was well maintained.

Look at my face again, it is round and a bit fleshy, and the dark circles under my eyes are still so heavy.

Really ashamed.

Chu Ning quietly looked at Song Ying's side face, and couldn't help but recall the time in high school.
