twilight winter

The first thing you do when you get off the plane is turn on your phone.Qin Xingyan's simple words on the screen made Xia Mo feel at ease.

Standing in the waiting area, Xia Mo replied to Qin Xingyan's text message.Suddenly a woman behind her timidly asked: "Hello, are you Chinese?"

Turning around and looking, the woman in front of her was wearing a little shabby clothes, her jeans had turned gray, her T-shirt had a strong smell of tobacco, her black hair was filthy, Xia Mo noticed that everyone around her shunned her.The woman probably noticed the embarrassment on these faces.Xia Mo didn't want her to be embarrassed, so instead of avoiding her, she replied with a smile: "Yes."

"Can you lend me twenty dollars?" Although the woman was cautious, she went straight to the point. Xia Mo saw her eyes drooping, as if she was afraid of rejection, so she readily agreed: "Okay." Since it's just a loan, she can still help , Xia Mo took out the money from her wallet and was about to hand it over, but she didn't expect a hand to stop her movement.

"Are you a fool? She looks like a drug addict." Jiang Yuling, who came to pick up the plane, had just parked the car when he saw Xia Mo talking with strangers in the distance. He almost trotted all the way to get in front of them Without even thinking about reaching out to snatch the money Xia Mo handed over, Jiang Yuling's expression was already full of anger.

"Eh?" Seeing Jiang Yuling holding the money in his hand and the woman in front of her at a loss, Xia Mo didn't know what to do for a while.

The woman didn't refute, she even lowered her head and wanted to leave as if she was being told, Xia Mo didn't have time to react and directly pulled her back.

There were bruises on the woman's arms, Xia Mo took a deep breath when she saw her being caught by him, and let go of her in a hurry.

"Here." Ignoring Jiang Yuling's white eyes, Xia Mo took out the money and handed it out again.

"I'll pay you back." This time the woman almost snatched it away. She held the money tightly in her arms and lowered her head, but she glanced at Jiang Yuling from the corner of her eye.

"No need." Did he really think that an addict would pay back the money.

The woman secretly glanced at Xia Mo, but said nothing.Maybe it's knowing how far-fetched the words I said are.

Xia Mo put away the wallet, pulled the money from Jiang Yuling's hand, and put it in his pocket casually.

"Goodbye." He kicked Jiang Yuling's calf, "Pick up your bag and leave." Turning around, he waved to the woman who had been standing there.

"My name is Xiang Wanqing." The woman said suddenly.

"Uh." Jiang Yuling had already gone to pack her luggage, but Xia Mo stopped when she heard her words.

"I said, my name is Xiang Wanqing. I will pay you back." After speaking, Xiang Wanqing turned around and left, Xia Mo raised her eyebrows as she watched her back blending into the crowd.Xiang Wanqing.Maybe forget it tomorrow morning.

On the way, Jiang Yuling worked tirelessly like a teacher to spread the knowledge of scams, and Xia Mo fell asleep very shamelessly.Who changed the flight to early in the morning? Last night when I saw Jiang Yu Mingben, I didn't feel like sleeping. I finally felt a little sleepy in bed, but I had to catch a plane again.

All the way to the gate of the house, Xia Mo was shaken by Jiang Yuling, her eyes were dimly opened, as soon as Xia Mo stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Xia Mo was hugged by her own mother.But the second elder of the Jiang family who came later made Xia Mo feel ashamed.The tearful Mother Jiang made Xia Mo's original joy become sad.Without Jiang Yuming, how would I explain to the Jiang family elders.Could it be that he proposed to break up and avoid Jiang Yuming, so Jiang Yuming changed his decision again.

For this reason, Xia Mo sat on the sofa and talked less than half, and Xia Mo only answered carefully when asked by the old people, fearing that he would hit the Jiang family's pain.

After finally surviving until they went to make dinner, Xia Mo lay in her room on the second floor and wanted to catch up on sleep, but after lying on the bed, the drowsiness was like playing hide-and-seek with her, and she disappeared.

I had no choice but to get up and pack my luggage. It happened that Jiang Yuling was passing by. Xia Mo grabbed him into the house and asked, "Did Jiang's mother ask you when Mingming will come back after you came back?"

"I asked." Knowing that Xia Mo was nervous, Jiang Yuling hesitated on purpose.

"What did you say?"

"They said they would be back at thirty o'clock."

"You know that she won't come back and you still attract their hearts." Xia Mo stomped her feet angrily.

Jiang Yuling gave a look of disdain. "That's your business. If she doesn't come back, I didn't hire her." After saying that, she lifted her butt and left.Xia Mo looked at his ass that women envy men envy and really wanted to put his foot on it.

The phone rang from an unknown place, and Xia Mo searched for a long time before finding it in his clothes.

A text message: Are you home?Sender: Jiang Yuming.

【arrive.Are you not busy? 】

Sitting on the carpet, legs crossed, intending to communicate with this guy.

【well enough. 】

Well, good or bad.

【You're thin, you need to eat more, you can't break the fruit. 】The ability to toss around is also thanks to the excellent body since childhood, otherwise someone else would have been dying.

[Uh——] A modal particle means that Jiang Yuming has something that he can't speak.

【explain. 】Since I can plan to have a good chat, it is natural for me to forget what I said before. Besides, it is normal for me to be heartbroken and disappointed to the extreme and say some irrational words.

[Then what——did Mom and Dad blame me? 】

Knowing that she misses her parents, Xia Mo thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer.Isn't Jiang Yuming talking nonsense? I don't know what happened since I haven't been home for many years.

[I appease. ] It seems that every year at this time, Jiang Yuming sends text messages with this question, and he answers like this every year.

【Thanks. ] It's just that these two words have not been used every year in the past.After Jiang Yuming received his reply, he was either silent, or coolly threw a sentence: That's what you should.Every time I say this, I can drive myself mad with anger, and feel a dull pain after a while.

If it weren't for that wedding, and the slap that he lost control that afternoon, Jiang Yuming wouldn't be so stiff with his family.It took so long to finally ease up, and I messed it up again.

Xia Mo stroked her forehead with a distressed look on her face.

Jiang Yuming waited for a long time and Xia Mo didn't reply. She probably couldn't reply, so he put down his phone and sat back in his seat.

"Director Jiang, today is almost the end." The assistant ran over and whispered. Director Jiang said that the wind is the character of rain, and if it is not in order, he needs to add more scenes. It's just an outline, and drama will be added at any time.So I saw that the film was sent in and moved out box by box, and very few of them were kept.

"Uh." I haven't seen where the picture was taken yet.Habitually looking for Wang Xianluo, she was standing next to the makeup artist wrapped in a military coat and said something.The leading actor, Xiang Lunbo, stood beside them holding a steaming tea mug and listening quietly.

"Then what—" Jiang Yuming was particularly uncomfortable when he said such an extra word, and he frowned and said, "Let's do it according to the original plan." New Year's Eve is 28, do you have to let everyone rest? .

When he walked to the side of the car, he could still hear a commotion on the set. As soon as Jiang Yuming got in the car, he saw Wang Xianluo running out.

"Wait." As if afraid that Jiang Yuming would leave, she waved her hands and ran to Jiang Yuming's car.

"Huh?" He opened the car window and leaned out and asked.

"Let's eat together, you forgot." Yun Mo didn't know where he went, and planned to grab Jiang Yuming's meal by himself.

"Uh." If you are not familiar with it, you will not be able to tell the difference between this voice and the one just now, and what it means.

"Wait for me." After speaking, he ran back to the set, Jiang Yuming looked at her back and took out a cigarette and smoked quietly.

Not long after, Wang Xianluo came out with a change of clothes. Jiang Yuming looked at her plain face and thought to himself that this is just a fashion scene. Someday I will make you a costume crew and see what you want to remove your makeup from. when.However, Jiang Yuming admired Wang Xianluo. Although this was her debut novel, she did a remarkable job, portraying the heroine in her heart to the fullest.

"What to eat?" When I came here, there was nothing but box lunch.

"Let me take you to eat the hot and sour noodles mentioned in the movie." I haven't been there for many years, and I don't know if it's still there.

"Which one did you like to eat when you and Sister Xia Mo were in school?"

"Yes." He never concealed anything from Wang Xianluo.

"Okay." Wang Xianluo wrinkled his nose and said playfully, "I'll have a taste of first love."

Jiang Yuming's mouth twitched into a sweet smile.

The hot and sour noodle shop is still there, but the owner has changed.The decoration has also changed a lot. On the wall are intimate photos of the owner's family, and heart-shaped sticky notes are pasted all over the wall.

When Wang Xian fell into the room, he sat in the corner obediently, pressing his hat, pretending to play with his mobile phone seriously.

"Boss, why are you selling hot and sour noodles?" Looking at the steaming soup pot, Jiang Yuming asked the sweaty brawny man.

"11 yuan a bowl."

"Two bowls, one is sweet and sour and the other is more spicy." Jiang Yuming took out his wallet and took out the change and handed it out, and took two bottles of drinks and put them on the table.

The people around looked over and whispered occasionally, Wang Xianluo could only keep his head down, Jiang Yuming ignored her, and looked up at the sticky notes on the wall.

Jiang Yuming read all kinds of sticky notes, such as sisters' promises, lovers' vows, and graduates' expectations, with great interest.

The store door opened, and there was a crisp sound of wind chimes. When Jiang Yuming entered the room because it was too cold, he was only in a hurry to sit down and warm his body, but he really didn't pay attention to the wind chimes. It's superfluous for such a small shop to install a wind chime at the door.Jiang Yuming thought about looking over, and was surprised to see that the wind chime was particularly elegant, and it was not a random choice at first glance.

"Boss, your wind chime is very beautiful." Jiang Yuming shouted to the boss not far away.

Beside the steaming pot, the boss replied proudly: "It was given by an old customer of my family. She is now a very famous host in our place."

"Oh. Hello boss." Jiang Yuming replied with a smile.Wang Xianluo on the opposite side looked up at her with a smile on his lips.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You talk a lot today." Wang Xianluo said in a low voice, and then buried himself in playing with his phone.

The boss brought hot and sour noodles to the table, walked to the empty seat behind Jiang Yuming, pointed to the sticky notes on the wall and said, "Here are all things written by her. She wants me to keep them for her, hehe." Simple and honest People patted their beer bellies and went back to work.

Jiang Yuming pushed his legs hard, and he leaned back with the chair, looking at the wall.

The familiar font made her panic, and she lost her balance before she had time to react.

"It hurts..." She only remembered that the back of her head hit the corner of the table, and it was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
